I have said it in the past, but again, "If Russia uses a nuclear weapon in Ukraine, it will be the end of the Putin regime and Russian Federation as it is known today"... National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan with not threats, but straight talk.. "catastrophic consequences." twitter.com/ABCPolitics/st…

By illegally invading a democratic country in Ukraine, Russia has shown that they will not respect any idea of any nation’s sovereignty. It will use its military to invade, subjugate, kill, torture, mass murder, genocidal practices to eradicate an entire pop. of 40 million.

So the U.S. knows the Islamic Republic is supplying Russia with suicide drones to commit war crimes and sent soldiers into Ukraine to train Russians on how to use them. What should the U.S., NATO, and U.N. do? IMO🧵

Every Russian General killed in Ukraine sets Russia back decades. Those senior officers can’t simply be replaced. Russia is getter weaker as a nation and military every day they stay in Ukraine. #SlavaUkraini twitter.com/nytimes/status…

Putin lost the war for Ukraine in April at the Battle of Kyiv. He lost the Battle of Kharkiv in Sept. Now he has lost the Battle of Kherson. Where will he lose next? Ukraine will not stop. Winter is coming for Russia.

Yes! 100% agree. This would further open actions that could be taken against Russia. They are terrorists, war criminals, committing genocide. twitter.com/SamRamani2/sta…

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…

Why are Russians so bad. Well, there are many many reasons. From morale, cohesion, combined arms, care of equipment, logistics. But a major reason is the lack of a career enlisted soldier/leader/corps. SGTs. NCOs 🧵

Ukraine conducts a strategic strike over 200 kilometers from their front lines (still in Ukraine) I don’t care with what, but 1 strike just changed the situation in the war. It put fear into Russian soldiers. What was believed to be safe areas for Russians, no more! #SakiAirBase twitter.com/iaponomarenko/…

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…

JUST IN: Here's the full list of the new weapons in the U.S. $800 million aid package for Ukraine. I'm beyond happy to see vital equipment like the 155-millimeter howitzers (towed artillery) w/ 40,000 rounds.

I was in a massive (10k+) Twitter space today where tired conspiracies I thought were dead were being peddled by people with huge followings:
- 2014 Maidan revolution was a CIA coup. Maidan personnel shot their own (False)
- Ukraine’s military is full of Nazi battalions (False)

Worst job in the world. Head of Russian logistics in Ukraine. They are in chaos. They can’t move, supply, arm, feed, cloth, maintain their current forces and now rushing thousands of (many with no motivation to fight) civilians (basically privates) to the front. A doomed mission. twitter.com/TadeuszGiczan/…

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…

I often get asked "how can I help Ukraine." @mriya_aid needs donors. They put needed tactical items in the hands of Ukrainians fighters on the front line. 100% of donations go to the aid, transporting, and delivering the items. I highly recommend! mriyaaid.org

Russia has raped, tortured, assassinated all over Ukraine. There have been many #Bucha As a father of young girls this breaks my heart. "young girls in Ukraine started cutting their hair to appear "less attractive" and avoid getting raped by the Russians." ndtv.com/world-news/ukr…

Strategic Failure 6 - A complete disregard of any Laws of Wars/Geneva Convention and the ordering, condoning, allowing of mass military unit level execution of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide will be tried/prosecuted in international forums for years.

Humbled to hear from my friend @MalcolmNance fighting with the International Legion of Territorial Defense of Ukraine, that the “Mini-manual for the Urban Defender” is still of value and circulating in Ukraine. #SlavaUkraini johnspenceronline.com/urban-warfare

I'm proud to be listed in an article calling out @TuckerCarlson lies. Same guy who said "Unless Vladimir Putin has personally had you or one of your family members murdered, you really don’t have any right to criticize the guy." Thanks @BusinessInsider businessinsider.com/tucker-carlson…
