After Putin's sad speech about illegally attempting to annex parts of Ukraine, Pro-Kremlin blogger gives insight into what Russia's approach to the world is:
"We'll conquer everyone, we'll kill everyone, we'll loot whoever we need to, and everything will be just as we like it." twitter.com/ru2ch/status/1…

Small arms (from M4, AK, PKM, to .50 cal) can be effective on slow, low flying aircraft and drones. It looks like I need to add a few pages to the "Mini-manual for the Urban defender" 🧵johnspenceronline.com/urban-warfare

Let's go! Russia is trying to upset the rules based global international order and is committing genocide on a sovereign nation/member state as a sitting member of the UN Security Council. What is the use of the @UN if the charter is not defended and enforced?
515
And now Russia is just a terrorist state with a nuclear weapon. A bully trying to upset the global international order. A butcher committing genocide in Ukraine.

Stop what you are doing and watch this! An amazing conversation with a very unique warrior, American veteran @jmvasquez1974 who has been fighting for Ukraine from the first days of the war. What a story! Bravo to the @MriyaReport and all involved in creating it! twitter.com/MriyaReport/st…

A great and historic day. Senate votes 95-1 to approve The Resolution of Advice and Consent to Ratification for the Protocols to the North Atlantic Treaty of 1949 on the Accession of the Republic of Finland and the Kingdom of Sweden. Shame on you Senator Hawley and Paul.

Music in war. As old as war itself. I used music in my own combat tours in Iraq. To calm my mind. Music can motivate, heal, soothe and lift morale. I felt the will to fight, to fight to be free in every Ukrainian I met in Ukraine last week. twitter.com/Gerashchenko_e…

My wife says this is the face I make when I am mad at her. Well it is the face when I’m also mad at the evil that Putin is doing, committing genocide against the Ukrainian people and holding Ukraine’s food exports ransom causing a global crisis! w/ @JoyAnnReid @thereidout

During my visit to Bucha on Saturday we walked the ground and discussed the events behind the photo. Incredible accomplishment by Ukraine early in the Battle of Kyiv. Use of restrictive terrain. Close ambush. ATGMs, Artillery, irregular forces. Trapped Russians. #SlavaUkraini
