For me, this "craziness" is fairly straightforward. Zelensky knows Trump is going to cut off the money and pressure Ukraine to negotiate for peace. Thus, it simply wants to put Ukraine in the best position possible for when those negotiations take place. Biden, on the other hand, wanted to avoid an unpredictable escalation prior to the elections that could have harmed the chance for Harris to win. And Putin knows this escalation is temporary now that Trump has won. So this is just last minute gambling by Zelensky now that Biden doesn't need to worry about the elections and also knows that Putin won't escalate too much on his part.

If anything, this is the U.S. wanting to see how well Russia can deal with these weapons. It's a tactical way to gather intelligence.

The bigger question is what will Netanyahu do regarding Iran now that Trump will likely allow him to deal with it, and he now knows his Air Force can do what it wants to Iran. I presume he's coming up with a plan right now to implement as soon as Trump takes office in January.

I for one was surprised at how smoothly the U.S. elections went. Whoever the "globalists" are that want to run things, they seem more impotent than I thought they were.
