Feared no more for sure! The Russian military is weaker across the board thanks to Ukraine. washingtonpost.com/world/2022/12/…

What has the US given Ukraine to defend themselves, Europe, and the free world? A lot! And it must continue until Russia is out of Ukraine. @CFR_org

BREAKING: Reports of stand still traffic jams on the Kerch bridge (the bridge linking Ukrainian Crimea to Russia). Other reports of explosion in Crimea.
🙏 Hoping Ukraine struck the Kerch Bridge again!

Patriots cleared! Now the other two! ATACMS and Grey Eagle for Ukraine. #ArmUkraineNow

Yes! .@CNN reporting The U.S. will send the Patriot missile defense system to Ukraine. Official announcement as soon as this week. Ukrainians will be trained to use them at a US Army base in Germany. cnn.com/2022/12/13/pol…

Ukraine strikes a Wagner Headquarters in Luhansk. If true, a great strike on a mercenary group who has committed horrible war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide in Ukraine with full autonomy and support of the Russian military and government. bbc.com/news/world-eur…

Kherson is Ukraine!
Zaporizhzhia is Ukraine!
Donetsk is Ukraine!
Luhansk is Ukraine!
Crimea is Ukraine!

U.S. DoD announces new $275 Million in Additional Assistance for Ukraine. Keep it flowing @DeptofDefense Need to add ATACMS already @POTUS

Bakhmut holds! Russian attempts to isolate the city appears to have failed and the Ukrainian defensive status remains strong even as Russia continues to invest beyond reason. twitter.com/Tendar/status/…

"If Ukraine truly has the ability to send drones over 600 kilometers..." Spencer..."it will mean Russia will have to use a lot of resources...manpower, air defense capabilities, to defend a lot of sites they falsely believed were untouchable." @Newsweek newsweek.com/russia-map-ukr…

"Zelensky visits troops near 'most difficult' front line," I am still amazed at this man's leadership and how he inspires/maintains the morale of his military and nation. bbc.co.uk/news/world-eur…

What Russian Air Defense Doing? This is a big deal. Ukraine (allegedly 😉) uses a cheap drone to penetrate (thought to be impossible for decades) Russian airspace from over 600 Km away to damage a multi-million dollar Russian (Tu-22M3) bomber. Time to fire more Russian Generals.

I read this as Ukraine has helped the U.S. & others understand the requirements for modern warfare, exposed weakness in our military industrial base that will be fixed. TY! But, Ukraine will need more ammo than this article discusses. We have to do better. militarytimes.com/pentagon/2022/…

"Retired Army Major Warns U.S. Weapons Rollout to Ukraine Is Too Slow". I wouldn't say too late. But definitely WAY too slow. @Newsweek newsweek.com/retired-army-m…

🤬 The world watches as Russians commit these horrors in Ukraine. War Crimes, Crimes Against Humanity, Genocide. There have been many Buchas. Mass graves of tortured Ukrainian civilians found in any area Russians stops. And still nothing from the ICC. No action by UN @AliVelshi twitter.com/channeldraw/st…

Ok. If not Patriot missiles systems (a great deterrent but tradeoffs on immediate needs/requirements) for Ukraine, the U.S. could send a lot more than just 4 of the Avenger Air Defense Systems. We did the same with HIMARS...too slow, too incremental. forces.net/news/us-sends-…
68
I still strongly believe the U.S. should provide #Ukraine ATACMS, Grey Eagle, Patriot missile systems, & more. It will greatly assist in ending Russia's illegal war quicker. Stop appeasing Putin. The longer the war continues, the risks of escalation/spill-over actually increase.

An insane photo from Kharkiv, Ukraine today. Two police officers looking at a fragment pile of Russian rockets that hit Ukraine's second largest city. h/t @alexbakus #Kharkiv #Ukraine️ #ArmUkraineNow #RussianWarCrimes

"Every day Putin continues this war, Russia becomes weaker, and it will take years - decades - to repair. Putin has not had a single victory. He will go down in history as one of the worst leaders of a state in modern times." @dagbladet dagbladet.no/nyheter/histor…

There are a lot of lesson from the Winter War. Like don't mess with Finland. And there should be international consequences for illegal wars of aggression. Soviet Union was expelled from the League of Nations. Russia should immediately be expelled from the UN Security Council. twitter.com/FinGovernment/…

OMG, yes do it! It is insane it hasn’t been done already!! twitter.com/Charles_Lister…
