He’ll Ask Putin. That Is the Plan. Ukraine says Russian reconnaissance satellites photographed Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia repeatedly in the days before Iranian missiles hit it, wounding American service members. Zelensky told NBC News he is one hundred percent certain Moscow is feeding targeting intelligence to Tehran. Asked about this aboard Air Force One on Monday, the President of the United States announced his investigative method: he will ask Putin. That is the whole strategy. Ring up the prime suspect and inquire politely. This is the same president who already told Fox News that Putin “might be helping them a bit”, then shrugged it off as fair play. Then came the part that should end careers. Any Russian help, Trump said, made little difference anyway, because Iran had been beaten. Twelve Americans were injured at that base. Two seriously. I am not even American. I still find this obscene. If a foreign power were spotting targets for missiles landing on European troops, and our leader responded by promising to raise it gently with the man who ordered it, he would not survive the week. Parliament would eat him alive, and rightly so. America instead schedules a segment about it, waits for a poll, and calls the hesitation strength. There is a word for a commander who will not name the country helping kill his own soldiers, and it is not caution. Stay connected, Follow Gandalv @Microinteracti1
