Don't you know?
We can act like this because there can never be any blowback to the US. We are at the "end of history" and all such actions are just perfect one-off events. Everyone will now capitulate and offer no further resistance. These actions are consequence free and only further Americas interest. Problem has been solved. Russia is fucked....easy peasy....

Honestly this is a huge Turkey thing not so much of a US. Its likely that Saudi and the UAE will step-up as well to bring into their influence over Iran.

Their only naval base in Mediterranean. And now they need to move all these ships to Baltic Sea (Kaliningrad), as Turkish straits to Black Sea are blocked for them by Turkey because of being at war with Ukraine.

Ok. But it doesn’t mean like they are fucked, I mean Russia was never associated with the power that controls Middle East?

Yeah this is a huge loss for Russia it goes to show that their airforce has been hurt by Ukraine pretty badly because they should have been able to bomb the hell outta the rebels and slow them down but that never occured

This is good news for Ukraine as Putin is now shown to be the pathetic loser he always has been.
Whats needed is regime change in Russia.
Could be next.
Putin gone by Christmas is my pick.

There are likely going to be power moves being made by the coalition but looks like the coalition is staying strong! A key thing of their rapid advance was bringing people together and negotiating with the elders across the ethic and religious spectrum to prevent fighting

There are a ton of questions about the state of the nukes. Russia hasn't exactly spent money in upkeep of them for one and even with the next-generation weapons the nuclear parts have malfunctioned a couple of times
