The Ukrainian drone attack hit two components of the Russian nuclear force. The primary purpose of the attack was to destroy the planes that launch cruise missiles at Ukraine. Some of those planes are also the types that carry nuclear weapons. There also were hits at Severomorsk, the headquarters of the Northern Fleet and Russia’s ballistic missile submarines. We have much less information about the hits at Severomorsk, so I won’t say more about it in this post.

Ukrainian drones have attacked airplanes at four Russian airbases.

And yes, there was the incident in Bologna, Italy where a great number of LGM’s good Samaritans got me out of a three way jam with a man named Bruno and his partner Marco N.

Back when Ronald Reagan told us that he had a way to totally protect the United States from a nuclear attack, those of us who were skeptical managed to substitute “Star Wars” in the discourse for the official name, SDI. Raise you hand if you know what SDI means. I thought so. It was the Strategic Defense Initiative, a nicely bureaucratic name. Star Wars easily supplanted it, slightly mocking, negating Reagan’s seriousness.
