I read this as a sing of weakness. I haven't been following the day to day to day minutia of the war in Ukraine and the Russian economy. But this is precisely how they would act of they new they were running out of economic and military runway, at least that's my uneducated read.

You are probably correct. I don't know what that means the next desperation step looks like though.
 
My big question is if the West is ramping up its production of cheap drones or is the MIC still pumping out expensive options?
 


“Trump is wearing a new pin... it seems to be an F-22, a fifth-generation fighter jet, one of the most advanced fighter planes in the world, but it is not exported. Designed to counter Russia.”

While I do not invite WWIII, does anyone else think it is just about time that NATO nations launch a barrage at Russian air bases that cripples their entire air arsenal?

No. Personally I don't think that sort of extreme escalation is necessary. Shooting down the next manned Russian aircraft that enters NATO airspace (preferably after having explicitly told Putin we would do just that) would likely be more appropriate.

Social Media Mocks US Army’s ‘New Weaponized Drone’ Video

Just days after Pentagon Chief Pete Hesgeth said the US would establish military drone dominance, a US Army video of a drone dropping a grenade posted on X sparked ridicule and was quickly deleted.

Well, just a couple months ago the Ukrainians were laughing hysterically at the Pentagon's lasted effort to catch up with drone warfare.
 
If Putin feels he’s getting squeezed too hard by Europe and Trump, NATO, the U.N. the whole bit… and he sees no real help coming from China or N. Korea, he becomes a cornered rat. A rabid rat.
I wonder if he’d go scorched earth like a chess player who’s bound to lose, so he unleashes his Queen to take out as many pieces as possible before the Queen herself succumbs. And instead of turning his king over in sportsman-like defeat, he instead upturns the entire board.
