I try to be understanding, but I really do NOT understand anyone, especially an elected representative, veteran, news source saying - "Ukraine is not our fight. Not our war. We should not be spending U.S. money to support Ukraine to fight Russia. We have our own problems."🧵

Respect. A lifetime of service to her country.

The biggest weapon supplier to Ukraine today is…Russia! Russian soldiers leaving all their ammo, weapons, equipment behind as they retreat in mass in multiple locations.
405
Just in case you are still not informed. Ukraine has launched the greatest counteroffensive since World War II. Ukraine has regained/liberated over 1,000 km of land & cities. Ukraine is winning. Ukraine is defeating Russia (once thought to be the second most powerful military)!
406
Words matter, I said greatest (multiple metrics from comparative of the two forces, strategic implications, importance to the country, Europe, free world) not largest.
407
Thank you Russia for your donations to Ukraine’s military. But seriously, it blows my old soldier mind the amounts of vehicles, ammo, supplies reported/seen abandoned by Russian soldiers - panic, no will to fight, broken. twitter.com/MrKovalenko/st…

What Ukraine has done in the last 48 hours is historic. Undeniable momentum, seized the initiative. "likely capture the city of #Izyum itself in the next 48 hours" Russian forces are retreating in fear, in chaos, a rout. Leaving their equipment, weapons ammo. #SlavaUkraini twitter.com/TheStudyofWar/…

"Look what they have done...This is the time. This is the moment. To fully support Ukraine in defeating Russia in Ukraine. Sovereign Ukraine. So they can win this fight for the free world." A few thoughts on the importance of what is happening in Ukraine. #ArmUkraineNow

If true, that would be huge. A report that the Russian soldier who was filmed gruesomely castrating a Ukrainian prisoner of war has been captured. Really hoping it is true! twitter.com/VickreyNeil/st…

If this doesn't inspire you, we are not friends. Ukraine's fight is for freedom. It is a human right and must be fully supported by all means. 40+ million people have shown the world they will not live in subjugation, they will fight to the death to be free. twitter.com/DefenceU/statu…

Historic leadership. Will take his place in the history books with greats like Washington, Churchill. He rose to the needs of his country. A role model, a communicator, an example or what right looks like even in modern times. twitter.com/IAPonomarenko/…

What was feared. Anywhere Russian soldiers occupy, they commit great horrors, war crimes, crimes against humanity. Ukraine will win. Will liberate all of their land. Will free Ukrainians. And there must be justice. twitter.com/OrlaGuerin/sta…

Ukraine’s offensive towards Kherson was not a feint!

The Russian mitliary manpower situation is in chaos. Estimates of over 80,000 killed and wounded in Ukraine. This is not the first time we have heard of them offering prisoners the option to get out of jail to fight in Ukraine. twitter.com/ChuckPfarrer/s…

I agree. If we want the war to end sooner, we must increase military aid to include the vehicles needed to move it around the battlefield. Withholding weapons like ATACMs is also a form of appeasement - “not to escalate, not to anger Putin.” Send it @POTUS twitter.com/EliotACohen/st…

More mass graves discovered in recently liberated Ukrainian areas. Russia has been executing genocide. The time to fully resource Ukraine is now so they can end the horrors being impose or Ukrainian civilians wherever Russian stop. #ArmUkraineNow twitter.com/NikaMelkozerov…

“the current largest burial sight has 440 unmarked graves.” I hate to think worse than Bucha, but this is awful news. twitter.com/DefenceU/statu…
