The $100K rocket was never about warfare or strategy. It was just plain grift. Pork barrel politics all the way.

Ukraine is innovating the hell out of warfare because they’re desperate. They have no other choice: find ways to defeat the Russians as cheaply and effectively as possible or be conquered. I am so proud and impressed of their courage and ingenuity in the face of overwhelming odds.
