Zelenskyy Is Doing the Job Trump Can’t Handle

Ukraine just pulled off a massive strike deep in Russian territory, and didn’t tell the U.S. A year of planning. Dozens of bombers destroyed. Trump left completely in the dark.

Hey everyone, it’s Adam Mockler. Thank you for supporting independent journalism. I don’t rely on corporate advertisers or billionaire donors. This work continues because of readers like you. If you’re reading this, you’re the reason I keep going.

Let’s get into it.

This morning, I broke down a story that should shake every American.

Ukraine just pulled off one of the most daring attacks of the war. They launched over 100 drones into Russian airspace and successfully destroyed dozens of long-range Russian bombers parked at multiple airbases. The targets included aircraft that had been used to level Ukrainian cities. Some of these bases were located thousands of miles inside Russia, including in Siberia.

This wasn’t just a tactical victory. It was a strategic statement. And they made that statement without us.

Ukraine did not notify the United States ahead of time. They specifically left us out of the loop. Not by accident. By design.

Because they don’t trust us.

Because they don’t trust Trump.

According to Ukrainian officials, this operation had been in the works for over a year. Trucks carrying concealed drones were quietly moved into Russian territory months in advance. The intelligence was airtight. The targets were locked. And the only thing missing from the planning table was the United States of America.

That should tell you everything.

Trump has spent the past year bragging about how he “helped Putin.” He has attacked NATO, praised dictators, and done everything in his power to destabilize the very alliances that protect the free world. Ukraine heard him. They believed him. And they acted accordingly.

What does it say when one of our closest democratic allies won’t even loop us in on a critical strike against a shared adversary?

It says we’re not in the trusted circle anymore. It says our global standing has been compromised.

Zelenskyy didn’t just launch drones. He sent a message. He told the world that if the United States is going to be led by someone who openly sides with Putin, then Ukraine will handle things without us.

This is not hypothetical. It’s already happening.

We are being left behind.

This is not just about Ukraine. This is about whether the United States is still viewed as a leader of the democratic world. If we lose that, we lose everything.

Thank you for being here. Thank you for making this possible.
