Small diameter bombs #GLSDB here we come. #Ukraine will finally get them soon. ✊
They can be used to destroy the #Crimea bridge if placed within range. twitter.com/igorsushko/sta…

These inflatable Abrams decoys can be delivered overnight to #Kyiv to appease Scholz. 🤫

We must stop referring to weapons & other resources being sent to #Ukraine as 'aid.' It's not aid, we are arming our common frontline in the war against fascism. This is not charity. Ukraine is sacrificing everything for the free world in the fight against tyranny. #ArmUkraineNow
355
#Putin scheduled to make a public address to the people of #Russia tomorrow, January 18th.
Could be any of the following:
1) Formal declaration of war against #Ukraine.
2) Mobilization
3) Martial Law
Next phase of war is coming. #ArmUkraineNow!

🚨🧵 My translation of Jan 17 2023 #FSBletters from #WindofChange inside the FSB to Vladimir Osechkin. Topics: #WagnerPMC commander Medvedev's escape to Norway, Prigozhin & MoD, Soledar & mobilization, FSB readying to pounce on weakened Prigozhin. Please share far & wide.

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.
360
General #Gerasimov issued orders to the entire Russian army:
1) Phones & tablets banned. Soldiers complain this will prohibit use of drones.
2) Non-army vehicles banned. Civilian vehicles have been used because of vehicle shortage.
3) Beards banned. Everyone must be clean-shaven.
361
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.
362
5) Russian command has been conserving & hoarding artillery shells for this large-scale offensive for months. The observed shell 'deficit' on the front was artificial.
6) Typical Russian strategy will be employed - level cities ahead with mass shelling, then move forward.

🚨 🧵 #Gerasimov's Hail Mary Attack on #Lviv: The following is reported by Volya Media, allegedly from sources inside the General Staff of #Russia.
1) Russia has readied 700,000 soldiers, some already in West Belarus, & 200,000 waiting in reserves.
2) Attack may start in weeks.

🚨 Video of the Russian Kh-22 missile with 1 ton warhead directly striking the intended target - civilian the apartments in #Dnipro in #Ukraine. You can see the missile itself on a direct trajectory. The story pushed by #Arestovych that it was shut down by AA is utter BS.

#Putin has ordered General #Gerasimov to capture all of #Donbas by March, reports GUR, Ukrainian MoD Intelligence.

#Russia: 61% of Russian population is reliant on government welfare payments to survive. Russia is a mafia-kleptocratic-authoritarian-communistic Frankenstein. Population is controlled through terror & reliance on government to literally feed them.

Remember most military experts saying #Kyiv will fall in mere days in February 2022? Post-mortem of why Russia failed?
1) Offensive wasn't properly prepared and rushed.
2) Not enough troops.
3) Ukraine got lucky in Hostomel.
We gave Putin 1 year to prepare Spring 2023 blitzkrieg.
374
One year since the invasion, the collective West is still plagued by utter lack of resolve, which has allowed Putin to regroup from the comfort of his bunker. We have no comprehensive plan for a favorable end game. Let's stop Scholzing around. History will judge us harshly.

Allies spent well over $3 trillion in today's money to defeat Hitler in WW2. 40% of GDP in 1945. Now isn't the time to bicker over hundreds of billions that are necessary to defeat Russia. The cost both financially and in human lives will go up every day indecision continues.
