Of course preparations will be obvious to Western & Ukrainian intelligence for such a large-scale attack if it were to happen. If this is real, Poland & the whole #NATO will need to consider what to do when Russia brings war & slaughter right to their border.
252
My hope for the New Year:
That Ukrainians & the civilized world defeat the totalitarian regime of #Russia once and for all.
That #WindofChange sweeps through all corners of Russia so that Russians find the courage take destiny into their own hands and ACT!
Glory to #Ukraine! 🕊️

As many have pointed out, Gerasimov's order for all Russian soldiers to be clean-shaven may be in preparation for the potential use of chemical or biological weapons in #Ukraine which would necessitate an air-tight seal for gas masks.

#Prigozhin's Wagner terrorists brutally murdered Evgeny Nuzhin. He was recruited by #WagnerPMC from a Russian prison but then quickly switched sides and fought for #Ukraine & spoke out against #Putin. But then got recaptured by the Wagner terrorists on the front. Barbarism.

Well, they say there's a war...
What war?

With rumors that President of #Turkey, #Erdogan is livid that #Putin unsurprisingly didn't keep his word on the humanitarian corridor in the Black Sea, this may be a bigger turning point in the West's actions toward #Russia. twitter.com/Hromadske/stat…

Unless there's a shift in the West's policy in arming #Ukraine right now, we will be faced with 2 possible scenarios this Summer:
1) Pretend to be shocked as Putin takes over Ukraine.
2) NATO enters Ukraine, which should've happened prior to Feb 24 2022.
Which one will we pick?

"#SlavaUkraïni (Glory to Ukraine), no, no, I will not shut my mouth. No! I will not shut my mouth! Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the Heroes! ... "
To Putin's gestapo taping: "I can feel how ashamed you are. I know. In your youthful age how you live in shame for everything you do."

🧵Victor Bout (55) is a has-been that has already served nearly 15 years in prison. No longer poses any danger to the US, and is of no value to Russia either, just some superficial propaganda value.
