I hope militaries around the world are taking note of the vulnerability of what used to be viewed as "rear" areas. Ammunition Supply Points (ASPs) being attacked from rockets to civilian off the shelf drones equipped with mechanisms to drop small munitions. Force protection! twitter.com/Eyal_Berelovic…

"It would give Ukraine what it doesn't have now, which is a much larger air force capability," Spencer said. "It would be a huge add to Ukraine...would be a great addition to their capabilities, especially in preparing for spring offense." @Newsweek newsweek.com/ukraine-may-ge…

"If the West continues its level of aid and support, while Ukraine continues to build military capability and execute a superior war plan, the path to victory is clear. Under those conditions, it's only a matter of when—not if—Ukraine will win this war." commonsense.news/p/ukraine-can-…

Amazing historic moment. Free people agreeing to collective defense against any tyranny. I can’t wait to see Ukraine welcomed into NATO in the near future. twitter.com/NATOpress/stat…

Yes! Russian attacks today on playgrounds, parks, apartment buildings, & civilians didn't show their strength. It showed their weakness. Their lack of ability to do anything except war crimes. Their terror tactics dont work. I say we are seeing the last breaths of a feeble giant. twitter.com/Newsweek/statu…

Very cool. One of my favorite parts of the Museum of Military History in Vienna is the WWI section on trench warfare and trench art. #SlavaUkraini twitter.com/ukraine_world/…

So what do I think about the American POWs in Ukraine?
1) They were members of the Ukraine Army & must be treated humanely & according to the laws of war.
2) They are American citizens & we should use all forms of U.S. national power to demand/obtain their immediate release.

When I was a Ranger Instructor at the US Army Ranger School, ambush was a primary lesson. 3 Types (Point, Area, Anti-Armor), 2 methods (Linear, L-shaped). Very important to pick best location & move/get there secretly. Lines of supply, moving Russians, very vulnerable to ambush.

Russia has been (for months now) taking Ukrainian babies -
Kidnapping - and giving them to Russian couples in Russia to be raised Russian. Literally genocide. twitter.com/TheStudyofWar/…

One of the most amazing things I’ve seen in the #UkraineRussiaWar
A message to Russian soldiers!
What are you fighting for?
Soldiers fight for a cause they view as just/valued, for their nation, families, fellow soldiers, leaders that care about them. Not out of fear & hate. twitter.com/DefenceU/statu…

"U.S. Senate on Wednesday unanimously approved a nonbinding resolution calling on Mr. Blinken to designate Russia as a terrorism sponsor for its attacks in Ukraine" It is bullshit that @SecBlinken or @POTUS has not done this yet! nytimes.com/2022/07/29/us/…

"There hasn't been a greater global threat to the world since Hitler...this is why we have to continue our support at a very large scale...why is Russia on the UN Security Council? They're the biggest threat to global security since WWII." My comments @thereidout @JoyAnnReid

Ukraine is fighting for Europe. If Russia is not stopped in Ukraine, Putin will keep going. We (democracies) can pay now, or much more later if we don’t. #ArmUkraineNow

Ukraine counteroffensives are having significant results. So great to see days before Russia’s May 9 “celebration” #SlavaUkraini twitter.com/JominiW/status…
