My first question on starting to read this was why hasn't Ukraine Flamingoed/Firepointed/Neptuned the military targets in Kaliningrad yet? They could even do it and then claim it was a Russian false flag!

I will probably answer myself by saying that a lot of on-the-fence countries in the West would immediately latch onto such an act as a reason to cut aid to Ukraine.

In which case, let's change the viewpoint. If it were the other way around, do you think Putin would have hesitated a second given the same question?

I'd say it's fair game. Ukraine is likely showing restraint because it would have to overfly Poland or Lithuania to get there. Now sea drones could be interesting.

…NATO need to close Königsberg from the sea, putin knows well he’s mighty vulnerable all around his famous outpost and fortress which became a sitting duck surrounded by NATO, there’s lot of putin junk there, but no soldiers, they’re all dead in Ukraine

Putin’s nukes are useless. They cost $1,000,000 per year per weapon to maintain and Russia has failed to spend that money on something no one will ever use 😎

They could launch drones (air) and sea drones from a container ship. BTW, they could do the same thing to the Norks and make Kim think hard about his involvement.

Kaliningrad is Russia's Hawaii.

What do you think an American President would do if he thought China was considering blockading it?
