Yes! Russian attacks today on playgrounds, parks, apartment buildings, & civilians didn't show their strength. It showed their weakness. Their lack of ability to do anything except war crimes. Their terror tactics dont work. I say we are seeing the last breaths of a feeble giant. twitter.com/Newsweek/statu…

“Mykolaiv strikes are continued Russian missile terrorism, but I think they're also frustrated by the gains they are seeing by Ukrainians in the South especially around Kherson where Ukraine is poised to basically have a strategic win in reclaiming Kherson.” w/ @AnaCabrera @CNN

There are a few ways to judge the Russian military's performance. Frameworks. I like the "Principles of War" (rather than a newer name, principles of joint operations). Looking at each, you see how bad Russia is at its illegal war 🧵

"On the Day of Victory over Nazism, we are fighting for a new victory...no enemy was able to take root here. Enemy chariots and tanks drove through our fields, but it did not bear fruit...there are no shackles that can bind our free spirit." @ZelenskyyUa #SlavaUkraini

It is a special stupid to not understand if we don’t support Ukraine to defeat Putin it will affect the world. Upset the global international order that allows our economy, way of life to flourish. Putin would not stop at Ukraine @TuckerCarlson #TuckyoRose is a agent of disinfor twitter.com/FoxNews/status…

The world awaits what Poland, NATO, the U.S. will say/do about this strike. If true, a Russian missile strike on NATO territory killing Polish citizens both under the NATO collective security guarantees. twitter.com/SpencerGuard/s…

Godspeed to the Ukrainian EOD. 🙏 It is an extremely dangerous job that is near and dear to my heart (my wife is EOD). The Russians that left these are war criminals, terrorist, and savages that I hope see justice in one form or the other. twitter.com/Osinttechnical…

"U.S. Senate on Wednesday unanimously approved a nonbinding resolution calling on Mr. Blinken to designate Russia as a terrorism sponsor for its attacks in Ukraine" It is bullshit that @SecBlinken or @POTUS has not done this yet! nytimes.com/2022/07/29/us/…

The entire Ukrainian population – men, women, and children – have shown the world they are willing to fight to be free people, to have a democracy, for freedom. If you knew nothing about Ukraine before February 2022, you now know they stood up to a bully and fought. All of them.

Mariupol still stands! May 5. @CNN Interview with the Commander of the Ukrainian National Guard 12th Operational Brigade in #Azovstal #Marioupol "we will be resisting until the very end." #SlavaUkraini youtube.com/watch?v=kH8RNa…

"They [Ukraine] are defeating Russia...the price Ukrainian people are paying for this war is extremely high, but we're going to stay with them as long as they need our help... (how far will the U.S. go in support)...as long as it takes." Hell yes @POTUS cbsnews.com/news/president…

"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

Keep it flowing U.S.! Make it HIMARS'oclock everyday.

A graphic that says a thousand words. Ukraine is winning. The path to victory is clear. twitter.com/bradyafr/statu…

It is total bull that there has been no international accountability for Russia’s war crimes. They are now using weather as a weapon of mass destruction in Ukraine. Systematically destroying civilian infrastructure for the purpose of causing millions to suffer & die. Never again?

More on the legal errors in @amnesty report from an expert! It is wrong legally, militarily, and common sense. It is slander based on little fact or understanding of LOAC/IHL or urban warfare. Any respectable organization would resend it for amendment at the least. twitter.com/marcgarlasco/s…

So Putin announces a "partial mobilization" calling up Russians (up to 300k) who have previously served in the military (they don't have a reserve force), give them 2 week of training, & send them to die in Ukraine. This will have little impact. It is a major sign of desperation.

Why does it matter that a Ukrainian band won a singing competition? IMO it signals Europe and the free world stands with #Ukraine. The winner holds next year’s competition. #Kyiv #esc2022 #Eurovision Ukraine will win this war, soon, and be stronger than ever before.

Yes. Ukraine a member of EU now! twitter.com/DmytroKuleba/s…

More HIMARS headed to Ukraine! Brings them up to 12, more artillery rounds. We (the free world) either can #ArmUkraineNow and stop Russia, or pay the price later. reuters.com/world/us-send-…
