"Why don't you say thank you!"

Our hillbilly elegist scolded the president of Ukraine for his lack of gratitude for US aid (which Messrs Trump and Vance have stopped). It's time now for Mr Vance to thank Mr Zelensky for Ukraine's incredible feat of arms on Sunday, launching drones on Russian strategic bombers all the way to Siberia. Whether it's 41 bombers damaged or destroyed, or merely 13 as a pro-Kremlin blogger claims, what other nation save possibly Israel could have smuggled 117 drones into Russia and triggered them remotely, each by its operator back in Ukraine? Indeed, like Israel's exploding pagers in Lebanon in last September, Operation Spiderweb will be taught in military classrooms for years to come.

And delighting me every time I think of it. Thank you, Volodymyr, thank you!
