Daily on Defense: The Russians are coming, Austin in Brussels, Biden to Italy, US to provide Patriot system to Ukraine, ‘Hellscape’ plan for defense of Taiwan
Four Russian warships were tracked as they cruised in international waters off the coast of Florida yesterday en route to Cuba for planned exercises in the Caribbean, in what U.S. officials describe as an attempt by Russian Presidentto show the Russian navy can still project power despite the humiliating loss of a third of its Black Sea Fleet to Ukrainian drones and missiles.
“We believe it is messaging by the Russians who are clearly unhappy now that we’ve got the supplemental funding and we are supplying Ukraine with weapons,” Kirby said. “We have five packages in just the last month of weapons. We think some of this is also posturing and saber-rattling by the Russians.
“If we see that these countries are being embroiled into a war against us and this constitutes their direct involvement in the war against the Russian Federation, we reserve the right to respond in kind,” Putin continued.
“I want to turn the Taiwan Strait into an unmanned hellscape using a number of classified capabilities,” Paparo told Rogin. “So that I can make their lives utterly miserable for a month, which buys me the time for the rest of everything.”
