Today we remember. We are also reminded what unchecked evil and bullies can become.

Wow. True leadership continues with @ZelenskyyUa twitter.com/walter_report/…

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…

It’s great that #Ukraine will be getting US multiple launch rocket systems. Great @POTUS has clearly stated the US support to Ukraine to defeat Russians in Ukraine. But that support must get there now! @ZelenskyyUa says 100 Ukrainian soldiers die a day. Danger of support too late
431
“That’s why I’ve decided that we will provide the Ukrainians with more advanced rocket systems and munitions that will enable them to more precisely strike key targets on the battlefield in Ukraine.” Amen! Clarity from @POTUS #SlavaUkraini twitter.com/nytopinion/sta…
432
Time to go on record. The death of children in mass shooting is not political. Clearly what we are doing as a nation is NOT working. It is just stupid someone can buy an gun without a background check or that someone not old enough to drink can buy an assault rifle (should be 21)

Get Ukraine the weapons they need now. twitter.com/TheStudyofWar/…
434
No @POTUS didn’t say the U.S. won’t give MLRS. He said we will not give rockets that can hit into Russia. Which is political speak. There are many types of rockets that go with MLRS/HIMARS from 32km to 300 km. Give Ukraine all the weapons they need to destroy Russians in Ukraine!

A panel of 33 international legal scholars and experts has concluded that Russia is “responsible for direct and public incitement to commit genocide” …mass killings of civilians, including executions; rape and sexual violence; indiscriminate bombardment. twitter.com/EA_WorldView/s…
437
We need to stop talking about sending these weapon systems. Ukraine is at a tipping point in multiple locations and these long-range rocket systems could be the deciding factor. They need them today, not weeks from now. #UkraineRussiaWar cnn.com/2022/05/26/pol…

My greatest fear in life is the loss of one of my children. My role in life is to protect them. I will make great sacrifices in life to ensure they can live in safety. I will support any effort that has the goal to make all children safer, to spare them from evil.
439
Always sound analysis. Now the goal must be the prevention of encirclements. Ukraine needs more MLRS, now. twitter.com/TheStudyofWar/…

A global crisis caused by Putin! As the UN secretary general said, there will be “a hurricane of hunger” if Ukrainian grain is not exported. I strongly support a non-military humanitarian mission to get Ukraine's ports open and safe passage of exports though the Black Sea. twitter.com/CNN/status/152…

"Why Morale is So Crucial in War" big honor for me and my coauthor @beehner_lionel to publish our thoughts on morale in @KyivPost today! #UkraineRussiaWar kyivpost.com/ukraine-politi…

".@ZelenskyyUa is going to define the endstate inside the boundaries of Ukraine...we want to uphold the concept that there's a rules based international order & that the powerful & the big can't just destroy and invade the weak & the small." General Milley youtube.com/watch?v=wFRf-p…
443
I agree with @POTUS statement on Taiwan. Clear. Bold. We will intervene militarily to defend Taiwan. Stop "walking back" statements. One China policy is not One China principle. If the international rules based order is not upheld, it all unravels.
444
Denmark will provide a Harpoon launcher and missiles, Czech Republic will send attack helicopters, tanks and rocket systems. 47 countries participated, 20 announced new security assistance. Next meeting June 15. Ukraine will completely defeat Russia! cnn.com/europe/live-ne…

In summary, the big bad terminator will burn just as good as a T72 when hit with a javelin, NLAW, or stugna. youtu.be/MoQzC-aF_G4

"These men will fight! This nation will fight! And I was convinced before the invasion that russia would fail in their operation!" @MalcolmNance #SlavaUkraini twitter.com/Gerashchenko_e…

This is criminal! I research war. I use these videos to study and then write about battles others don’t. I use these videos, like those @RALee85 catalogues. And then I go there, like I did for Nagorno-Karabakh in 2020. This is history being erased. Stop it @POTUS twitter.com/KyivIndependen…

Three point peace plan in Ukraine:
1. Removal of all Russian military forces from sovereign Ukraine land.
2. Return home of every single Ukrainian citizen kidnapped by Russia. Men, women, children!
3. Payment plan for all damages caused by Russia’s illegal invasion.

I love this. We call it field craft in the US Army. Motivated, innovative soldiers using what they have in new and effective ways. twitter.com/BackAndAlive/s…

Horrible. Kidnapping over 1 million people. They must all be returned before any talk of peace IMO. twitter.com/AlexKhrebet/st…
