"The alternative tactics that Amnesty is suggesting Ukrainian forces follow — to base themselves in woods or structures further away from residential areas — are not realistic, according to John Spencer...specialist in urban warfare studies..." @nytimes nytimes.com/live/2022/08/0…

The entire Ukrainian population – men, women, and children – have shown the world they are willing to fight to be free people, to have a democracy, for freedom. If you knew nothing about Ukraine before February 2022, you now know they stood up to a bully and fought. All of them.

“John Spencer, the US Army veteran who chairs the Washington, DC-based Urban Warfare Studies, also implored world leaders to act.” You damn right I did @newyorkpost nypost.com/2022/07/29/ukr… via @nypost

It was a mistake to remove them. It is the right thing to fix that mistake. Make it permanent. cnn.com/2022/05/20/pol…

A small but plausible explanation to the timing of the liberation of #Kherson in the #RussiaUkraineWar Putin and his strategists were hoping on a major shift in U.S. (and countries that look to the leadership of the U.S.) support to Ukraine in the U.S. midterm elections. 🧵

The liberation/counteroffensive of Kherson has begun. Godspeed to the Ukrainian military and resistance forces. #SlavaUkraini twitter.com/KyivPost/statu…

Hard to not get emotional about my feelings for the war crimes, genocide, evil we are seeing the Russian military do to Ukrainian civilians. I speak for myself, I want nations to intervene. Now. twitter.com/VelshiMSNBC/st…

Do what the moment requires. Freedom is never free.

Ukraine is fighting the Great War stopper. If Russia is not stopped in Ukraine they will keep going. If Russian aggression is not stopped it will change the global international order. This is our (all democracies) moment. We must do more. #ArmUkraineNow

This really shakes me to my core. My son is 11. Speechless. We are not doing even close to enough. twitter.com/OTregub/status…

JUST IN: Here's the full list of the new weapons in the U.S. $800 million aid package for Ukraine. I'm beyond happy to see vital equipment like the 155-millimeter howitzers (towed artillery) w/ 40,000 rounds.

Putin will not stop at the Donbas. He will not stop at Ukraine. He is our generation’s Hitler. We (the free world) can help Ukraine stop him now, or we all pay severely later. #ArmUkraineNow twitter.com/IAPonomarenko/…

Frustrating. What are countries like the U.S. and UK waiting on to designate Russia a state sponsor of terror? twitter.com/maria_avdv/sta…

100% agree. Ukraine needs more support than ever before so they can finish the mission. twitter.com/Podolyak_M/sta…

Ukrainians giving a master class in urban warfare tactics. The better military (#Ukrainian) maximizes the qualities of the urban terrain for offense and defense. twitter.com/ChuckPfarrer/s…

In warfare, precision can defeat mass. Russia will still lose and only kill hundreds of thousands more of their “soldiers” continuing Putin’s illegal war in Ukraine.

Thanks again for everyone that helped get my account restored (still fighting for my original username @SpencerGuard). I lost so many friends and connections in the hack. Spread the word, I'm back and it is safe to follow again. #urbanwarfare #RussiaUkraineWar

Ukraine's fight is for all free people of the world. It is our fight and we must continue to support them to defend themselves. Russia must be weakened as a military so that it cannot acted this way ever again.
