“To be clear, we (the west) haven’t given the Ukrainians what they need to protect themselves, let alone win this war so it doesn’t impose a global tax on all of us.” #RussiaUkraineWar @MSNBC A short clip of my talk with my friend @AliVelshi this morning.

Russia will run out of soldiers, I don't care what people say about the amount they can force into service. They tried to mobilize 300K, required capturing people off the street and more than 400K Russian men fled the country. twitter.com/Volodymyr_D_/s…

Respect! RIP Hero! #SlavaUkaini #RussianWarCrimesInUkraine

Soldiers are trained members of a profession that live their lives, execute their mission, & are given autonomy/authority by their government/citizens to use lethal force in accordance w/ national values, ethical codes, & laws. Russian/Wagner prisoners & mobiks are NOT soldiers.

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

Russia will attempt a spring offensive in Ukraine. They are that stupid. Putin does not care how many Russian soldiers die. The only competency the Russian military has show in the last year is the ability to withdrawal. @AliVelshi #SlavaUkraini

All Russian war crimes must be held to account. twitter.com/terischultz/st…

The U.S., NATO, Europe, and the collective west is still only providing Ukraine what it needs to not lose. It is not providing what Ukraine needs to win as soon as possible.

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.

“The number of Russian troops killed and wounded in Ukraine is approaching 200,000, a stark symbol of just how badly President Vladimir V. Putin’s invasion has gone,” If someone says Putin is not losing big time, they are a fool. nytimes.com/2023/02/02/us/…

Putin attended a ceremony last week to commemorate the Soviet victory at Stalingrad #urbanwarfare Guards without their weapons, no crowds. Someone scared he’ll be taken out by his own people??
12
The days are numbered for the Russian military in Ukraine.
13
Hell yeah! 31 of the worlds best tanks headed to Ukraine. I am super happy our leadership didn’t listen to those saying Ukraine didn’t need or couldn’t handle the M1!

"It's more rhetoric from Russia, who has violated the UN Charter, violates the Geneva Conventions daily, they're the people sitting in a sovereign nation. NATO can provide any weapon it wants...Putin is the wrong person to be saying what is right or wrong." me today @WIONews

"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…

There is no stalemate in Ukraine. Anyone that claims it is not educated in strategy, military affairs, or the situation on the ground in Ukraine.
17
What does Russia have left? I was playing with some numbers last week. The real question is what does Russia really have in storage? Is the equipment even there, is it useable? #RussiaUkraineWar

This was my M2 Bradley in Baghdad, Iraq, 2008. There are many like it, but this was mine. I am looking forward to seeing pictures of Bradleys in Ukraine soon. #ArmUkraineNow

Great! “The U.S. on Friday hit six executives and board members of an Iranian drone manufacturer with sanctions after the firm allegedly supplied Moscow with drones that Russian forces have been using to attack Ukraine.” apnews.com/article/russia…

Russia stops fighting in Ukraine, there is peace. Ukraine stops fighting, and there is no Ukraine. The path to peace is very clear, give Ukraine all the military aid they need to force the Russian military in Ukraine to culminate. #ArmUkraineNow twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Happy New Years to all. 2023 the year of Ukraine’s complete victory!

Just the mention of Ukraine getting Bradley IFVs excites me.
- Armed with a 25mm cannon, 7.62mm machine gun, and 2 TOW Anti-tank launchers
- Crew of 3. Can carry 7 infantry dismounts
- Spaced laminate armor. Can add reactive
- Advanced sighting/positioning software/capability

As a former Bradley commander, this would be epic! It would give Ukraine’s ground forces an immediate level up and massive capability. twitter.com/JenniferJJacob…

100% agree. All nonsense. ATAMCS is exactly what Ukraine needs right now. They would have an impact today! Not months from now. Not giving them is appeasement. twitter.com/jeshaw81/statu…
