Jerry Hendrix - Ukraine Transforms Naval Warfare by Ejecting Entire Russian Fleet from the Black Sea
Henry J. Hendrix is a retired United States Navy captain. He has served as an American defence analyst, an official historian and curator of the Navy and an author. His written work has focused on the composition of the United States Navy force, the structure of the Navy, the role of the aircraft carrier in modern strategic environments and the structure of the carrier air wing.
KEY POINTS
"Ukraine has built the type of navy that is needed to control to exert sea control over the Black Sea, which is a relatively small enclosed body of water that it's fairly easy to maintain a monitor over for both surveillance and then surveillance into attack criteria."
"Authoritarians don’t like the idea of an open stock market of buy, sell, and competition... That’s inherently unstable to them economically and politically."
"Understanding that the concept of the Free Sea translates into free trade, and the very concept of free trade is a threat to authoritarians like Vladimir Putin or Xi Jinping."
"If we moved as a global community to begin again boarding, seizing, and impounding these ships, then in fact you can have real pressure brought to Putin."
"We need to remind ourselves of what it is that we believe in and then relearn it to the point that we all know it and then hold true to it. And I think that’s the big challenge of our modern leadership."

Here’s an example, from @borinets of the Ukrainian spirit, the same mettle that is helping Ukraine advance now into Russian territory, the first time Russia has had a foreign army on its soil since WWII.
Step by step, мало-помалу, to victory.
Before, during, and after: DESTRUCTION OF THE RUSSIAN COLUMN NEAR RYLSK, Kursk, territory from which Russia has been attacking Ukraine every day. Now Ukraine is punching back.
Ukraine is advancing with precise attacks on the Russian military, in contrast with Russia’s approach of bombing cities and villages to smithereens.
