What you do is interesting, informative and valuable. Feel better!

Europeans acted horribly with regards to the indigenous populations in America.
But what killed 90% of the Indians were the diseases Europeans brought with them. Many times European settlers would approach a village and find almost all of the inhabitants dead or dying.

Some day when you have time, I'd like to know what you think of Crimea. Russians have about 32,000 troops there. Ukraine has decimated their air defense systems. They are even short of drinking water. Seems, I dunno, kinda like a target.

Absent the sudden acquisition of a naval force, Ukraine's best weapons against Russia's Shadow Fleet may consist of electronic attacks. /1

Realistically, what could Ukraine actually do in the Pacific Theater to hinder Russian deliveries of oil and North Korea's deliveries of troops and equipment to Russia? /1

If Ukraine could get just a few drones into the Pacific, they could mine harbors, strike tankers, and disrupt North Korean arms shipments, all while avoiding direct involvement from major allies. /17

A third-party military (or even mercenary groups) could launch drones on Ukraine’s behalf to create plausible deniability.
Ukraine could sell or “lose” drones to private actors or rebels who then use them against Russian tankers and North Korean supply routes. /16

Drones could be hidden aboard commercial vessels disguised as fishing boats or cargo ships operating in international waters. Once near the target zone, the drones could be deployed and guided remotely to strike. /15

Ukrainian drones could be air-dropped into the ocean from cargo aircraft over international waters, then remotely guided to attack their targets. Best deployment zones: Areas near Russian oil tankers in the Pacific or North Korean ports supplying Russia. /14

Ukraine could smuggle drone components into Taiwan, the Philippines, or South Korea and assemble them near launch sites rather than trying to ship them in one piece. Stealthy deployment from hidden coastal bases could allow hit-and-run attacks. /13

Some drones could be modified for submerged transport using underwater unmanned vehicles (UUVs) or even civilian submersibles. Deploy from the South China Sea or near the Korean Peninsula after being transported beneath the surface to avoid detection. /12

Or... Japan, Taiwan, or South Korea could host or launch Ukrainian drones from their coastlines under a plausible deniability framework. Ukrainian military advisers could train local personnel or special operators from allied nations on how to use them. /11

One option: Ship drones in containers disguised as commercial cargo on civilian vessels traveling to allied nations in the Pacific (e.g., Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, or the Philippines). Another option: Components could be shipped separately and assembled at the final destination. /10

Getting Ukraine's sea-going drones (like the Magura V5 and other uncrewed surface vessels) to the Pacific Theater is a major logistical and operational challenge. However, with the right planning and assistance from allies, it is possible. /9

Ukraine has been highly innovative with drones—adapting naval drones for long-range attacks in the Black Sea.
Exploring drone-based disruption of shipping routes in collaboration with allies (perhaps through Taiwan, South Korea, or Japan) could create new risks for Russian tankers. /8

Long-range drone or sabotage operations in friendly territory (e.g., sabotage of Russian infrastructure in Vladivostok or North Korean port facilities) could be an option.
Encourage sabotage operations in transit hubs (e.g., in China or at refueling stops) to increase operational risks and costs. /7
