Great Power contentions

On the topic of announcing things before accomplishing them, Zelensky publicized stamps commemorating the Snake Island defenders' defiance of the Russian Black Sea flagship Moskva, which Ukrainian Neptune missile batteries sank shortly after. Because Ukraine just sank Russia's battleship (cruiser).

BTW, spmetla, do you buy now that a swarm of Iranian ASM could sink a carrier in the Strait of Hormuz?

How's this for an idea: ammo buyback program for Ukraine. Private Americans have billions of rounds of 5.56 and 7.62 lying around, and the Ukrainians must be using millions daily, so the math is obvious. (Obviously it wouldn't work because it would just turn the right completely against Ukraine, but in principle it's a good way to redirect American 'assets.')
