Civilians in #Ukraine are running out of water because of Russia’s illegal war & sieges of cities. There are ways to make water safe to drink. Collect/melt snow/rain. Boil water found. Add 2 eye drops of bleach to a liter. Or 5 - 10 drops of iodine. Thanks @reallesstroud

"When I was in Bakhmut yesterday, our heroes gave me their battle flag...they asked me to bring it here...let this flag stay with you...this flag is a symbol of our victory...We will win because we stand and fight. Ukraine, America, and the entire free world."

From the front lines. Ukrainians need EVERYTHING. From MREs, Helmets, NODs, Body Armor, Armored vehicles, artillery, MLRS, all types of ammo, ammo, ammo. Call a spade a spade, we the U.S. are not providing enough. #ArmUkraineNow twitter.com/MalcolmNance/s…

The days are numbered for the Russian military in Ukraine.

The Arsenal of Democracy is failing. Not enough or fast enough. Until every Ukrainian fighter has NATO quality helmet, body armor, night vision, weapon and fire support (mortars, artillery, rockets) and enough protected vehicles to move around the battlefield, we are failing them

Number of American generals killed in Afghanistan in 20 YEARS of war: 1 (MG Harold Greene). Number killed in 8 YEARS of fighting in Iraq: 0
Number of Russian generals killed in Ukraine in 51 DAYS of war: 8

Russia has already lost in Ukraine. It failed to overthrow Ukraine’s democracy. It showed the world that their military is weak in major aspects of warfighting. Not the powerful military all thought it had become. It will take generations to recover from its strategic failures.
83
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-…

The world is changing. The days of dictators and evil regimes are limited. #IranRevolution twitter.com/FridaGhitis/st…

I’m struggling with the words to describe the genocide committed in mass, deliberately by Russian soldiers. War crimes not good enough. Evil. There is a world of difference from bombing civilians (saying military targets) to intimate, close killing of civilians w/their hands tied

“Never again” was supposed to have meaning! 🤬🤬 My grandfather fought Nazis in WWII. If alive, he would be ashamed and pissed we have not done more to stop this. twitter.com/DefenceU/statu…

It’s HIMARS’oclock across Ukraine! (Unknown source of photo, but I love it).

“Nobody has threatened Russia. This is not about starting WWIII, this is actually about preventing WWIII and preventing a terrorist with a nuclear weapon from saying he can do what he wants…commit genocide in front of our eyes.” Thanks for having me on @EricShawnTV @FoxNews

I have visited tunnels all around the world. From Hezbollah (picture) and Hamas tunnels along Israel borders to North Korean tunnels. Studied the way the best militaries in the world approach #undergroundwarfare Russia does not have the capability to go into the #Azovstal tunnels

“Nuclear weapons must not be used over Ukraine, Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Friday, offering Beijing's clearest response yet to Russia's invasion”…even China sends Russia a message - the world is against your nuclear threats and terrorism. amp.scmp.com/news/china/dip…

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

This is HUGE. Russia’s defense ministry admits Moskva, their flagship in Black Sea fleet, slava class cruiser, has SUNK! It was key to intelligence & air defenses for the Russian ships. IMO this is on the level big as stopping Russians from taking Kyiv. t.me/rian_ru/158794

In a city attack, there are basically 8 rules. If you are the defenders, the more you can take advantage of these rules, the harder you can make it on the attacker. Grind them to a halt. #UrbanWarfare #Ukraine #UkraineUnderAttack mwi.usma.edu/the-eight-rule…

The U.S., NATO, Europe, and the collective west is still only providing Ukraine what it needs to not lose. It is not providing what Ukraine needs to win as soon as possible.

"Nine drones were used, a top official said. Ukraine has not commented." Ukraine be like - I don't know how your bridges, jets, and war ships keep exploding in occupied Ukrainian land that is Crimea? 🤷♂️Smoking? bbc.com/news/world-eur…

Ukraine needs the U.S. not just weapons! This is a test of our national values. What we stand for. What I served for. What my family serves for. To protect the innocent. To stop evil in the war. It is time! twitter.com/IAPonomarenko/…

Just the mention of Ukraine getting Bradley IFVs excites me.
- Armed with a 25mm cannon, 7.62mm machine gun, and 2 TOW Anti-tank launchers
- Crew of 3. Can carry 7 infantry dismounts
- Spaced laminate armor. Can add reactive
- Advanced sighting/positioning software/capability

God damn that tears me up. Russian terrorism must be stopped. #ArmUkrainaNow twitter.com/maksymeristavi…
