The Pentagon and Gulf states are planning to procure Ukrainian interceptor drones costing a few thousand dollars each to defend against Shahed drones. Zelensky should simply say: restart full military aid, send Tomahawks, and then, maybe, we'll talk. #GreatestSalesmanOnEarth

Or simply "we need it as long as we're occupied, help us to bring orcs back in their moody swamp they call russia, and we could think about selling it".

Trump's Epstein Fury War is to distract everyone from not only Epstein files but also Ukraine. He will let the American military suffer great losses because he dislikes Zelensky so much that he won't ask for anything from Ukraine. Putin will be furious with him if he allies with Ukrainians.

Exactly. At the start of the war US gave Switchblade 300 drones to Ukraine for 60 000 USD. Their capabilities are the same as 400 USD Ukrainian FPV drones. So 150X markup. Ukraine produces drone interceptors for 3000 USD a piece, 150X = 450 000 USD piece.

Ukraine only need to sell 200 000 interceptor drones for that price, to get 90 billion EUR that EU pleged to Ukraine. Thats a 2 year production of interceptor drones.

So it turns out Zelenskyy might be holding a few cards after all hey... Who knew? 🙄 He should tell Trump he's "gambling with WW3", before only selling interceptors at a hefty markup through intermediaries like France and Germany.

This is what Zelenskyy has been lobbying for. Ukrainian drone producers can build more drones than UKRGOV has money to buy. More production is all for the good. Of course, Zelenskyy wants a lot more than that, but this is something he can get -- and he can keep lobbying for more.

Gulf states should hire Ukrainians as defence contractors, it’s more the operator than the actual drone. There’s 10s of thousands of ex-military personnel who can no longer fight due to injury, but could fulfil this role. NATO & EU countries should do the same btw. Far cheaper than losing an F35

Zelensky should give them nothing without receiving whatever assistance Ukraine needs. Trading is fine, but anything you give this president will be forgotten 15 minutes after he gets it.

He needs to play hardball here. Make it clear to Trump that he no longer holds the cards and he must resume large scale aid deliveries.

'The Pernicious Pentagon and Gulf states are planning to procure United Ukrainian interceptor drones costing a few thousand dollars each to defend against Shahed drones.' There, fixed the first part for you, my good friend 🙂👍 (1/2)

If I'm Ukraine right now, I'm going to mark that up or better trade drones for missile defense system and more tomahawk missiles. The Epstein's friend really fucked up big time in the Middle east
