Kellogg: If he [Putin] was winning, he’d be in Kyiv, west of the Dnipro, on Odesa, and he’d have changed the government. Russia is losing.
Losses are World War II scale — over a million dead and wounded. First-line units are gone. Tanks pulled from museums. 1/
Kellogg: Trump asked me in the Oval if Russia is winning. I said no.
I told him to ask his Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Dan Keane. He said no as well. 2/
Kellogg: Use economic force. Seize oligarch money. Enforce sanctions hard. Shut down the shadow fleet in the Baltic.
Bottle up the Baltic Sea and you cut 70% of their traffic. Today we’re at 6/10 on sanctions but 3/10 on enforcement. 3/
Kellogg: Alaska mattered. Personal diplomacy opens doors.
Trump sat Putin down and talked. You may hate it, but it cracked a door that had been shut. 4/
Kellogg: Don’t let Trump think he’s being used. He’s exasperated.
Zelenskyy and Umerov we’ve kept a steady direction. Europe must carry more weight — and it is. 5/
Kellogg: Don’t fear Russia’s army. This isn’t the USSR.
If Putin rattles nukes, remind him the U.S., Britain, and France are nuclear too. We’d kick their ass. 6/
Kellogg: China is the key. If Beijing cut support, the war ends tomorrow.
Russia even brought in 10,000 North Korean troops to fight in Kursk — proof of a manpower problem. 7/
Kellogg: Drones changed the war. Ukraine leads the world in drone tech.
The U.S. and others are behind. Top-attack, counter-drone, cheap kills — armor must adapt or die. 8X
