🇺🇦🇺🇸🇷🇺The Wall Street Journal writes that Kiev asked the White House for help: for America to help with the selection of targets deep in Russia and intelligence for attacks on them with Ukrainian weapons, and for Washington to lift the ban on strikes on internationally recognized regions with American weapons. Most likely, the Americans will help with reconnaissance for Ukrainian UAVs, especially since the British are already doing this. But the United States is unlikely to agree to a serious escalation with permission to launch ATACMS deep into Russia - there are really fewer hot heads, as in London, or empty heads, as in Kiev.

🌐 🇷🇺 🇺🇦 As Russia Advances, NATO Considers Sending Trainers Into Ukraine | NYT 📝 Patrick Fox: "This type of military incrementalism is how nations walk themselves into wars. If Gen. Brown's instincts are correct here, it's the wedge to force direct NATO involvement." "Remember when I told you all the other day the West doesn't have a plan? This is the kind of thing I'm talking about. If NATO is going to involve itself in the Russo-Ukrainian War, that is the last type of decision that should be made in fits and starts. It should be deliberate; done with a clear understanding of methods, means, and objectives involved." "There are ways NATO could involve itself more seriously in Ukraine, I've written about them. Doing it haphazardly is a recipe for disaster." "It's not like we haven't seen this before either: "Non-Combat" Trainers leads to; Trainers actually in combat leads to; Aircraft to support trainers & the units they're attached to leads to; Security formations to protect the bases the aircraft supporting the trainers operate from leads to; Full blown US combat operations in country." "While the circumstances are certainly not 1-to-1 in the above example and I'm abbreviating the sequence of events significantly - the parallels are becoming uncomfortably similar. This is also an example of why I so consistently harp on studying history. Understand what happened before and you'll have a better handle on what comes next." "Yes, I just described, again in a very truncated fashion, US involvement escalation in Vietnam." https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/16/us/politics/nato-ukraine.html 📎 Patrick Fox

🏹 🇷🇺 🇺🇦 Russian Opposition figure Mikhail Khodorkovsky 🔶️ Putin spends about $120bn a year on the war – 5.4% of Russia’s $2.2 trillion GDP – with the most commonly used Russian shell costing about $500 🔶️ European aid to Kyiv over two years amounts to $88bn – about 0.25% of the EU’s GDP – with shells that cost between $5,000 and $8,0002 🔶️ This means that, if we include the American contribution, Putin is outproducing the West by at least 2.5:1. This year, without US support, that ratio jumps to 4:1 🔶️ At the start of the war, Russia’s population was 142 million to Ukraine’s 40 million – a ratio of about 3.5:1. Now, two years later, that ratio is 7:1. And yet, we demand that Ukraine continue to fight on – but with what? 🔶️ At the current rate, Kharkiv will fall within the year, and Odesa – next year. By 2026, Ukraine will be capable only of maintaining a small-scale partisan resistance – and that is in the best case scenario 📎 Mikhail Khodorkovsky

🇺🇲 Trump is preparing for an unprecedented, largest-scale deportation of migrants from the United States, The Washington Post reports. According to the publication, Trump intends to roll back Biden's immigration program and lay the groundwork for what he says will be the largest mass deportation in US history. Among the steps being prepared are expedited processing of documents to expedite the expulsion of foreigners and the elimination of deportation protection for hundreds of thousands of migrants. The Trump administration also intends to force countries around the world to take back their deported citizens. Anti-immigration rhetoric is the cornerstone of Trump's election campaign, and it can tip the scales in his favor in the election, The Washington Post believes.
