Ukraine has already struck a Russian arsenal in Karachev with the newly liberated ATACMS missiles. There will, of course, be no response or escalation from Russia because the Kremlin ruling clique are nothing but a gang of criminals. Tough and imposing until someone fights back, in which case they scurry back to their hole and screech about what they’re gonna do (while doing nothing).

Ukraine and the West should pick up the initiative and escalate even further. Putin is a coward who’s completely out of options. His nukes don’t work, and even if they did, he hasn’t got the balls to use them.
