I can’t say it enough, @ZelenskyyUa is one of our generation’s greatest leaders. He has already taken his place amongst giants. Churchill, Washington, and others. twitter.com/TelegraphWorld…

Hey @FareedZakaria I just heard you @CNN say Ukraine still in a David and Goliath situation. Bring me on your show & I can argue why I think at this point it is reversed. Urban terrain great equalizer. Defense strongest. Even Russian Grozny approach won't work now. #urbanwarfare

Ukraine can (will) defeat Russia's military in Ukraine and reclaim/liberate its sovereign land. No that does not lead to nuclear war. There has never been a threat to Russia. This war had nothing to do with NATO. Russia is committing genocide in Ukraine.
104
There should be no road to Kyiv or through any city that is not blocked in some way. No road should allow free rapid driving a single vehicle. If a road needs to be used by civilians, create a serpentine "s" obstacle. These can serve as checkpoints to search for infiltrators

Personally, I would love to see Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS). Howitzer 155mm range about 18 miles. GMLRS around 43 miles. Out range them. Make Russian artillery soldiers scared to even get on their guns. thedrive.com/the-war-zone/u…

I try not 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."🧵
107
It is time to turn Kyiv into a fortress. Every street, every alley, every building. It has to be hard to move and see down streets. The goal is for the enemy to not know where you are and where a bullet will come from. Force them into areas you want them to go.
108
Large explosions in Kyiv. Air defense working. Air sirens across the country. Russia continues it’s war crimes & terrorism against Ukrainian civilians, cities, & infrastructure. The world is not doing enough to help Ukraine or to stop Russia #ArmUkraineNow #russiaisateroriststate

"The Russians don't have the capability to enter those tunnels [#Azovstal]...this isn't just a normal tunnel, this is a deep tunnel complex...they don't have the training, equipment, or will to enter that...they would lose thousands of soldiers." watch my full @CNN w/@AnaCabrera

"the armies of Vladimir Putin will go home on foot, leaving a lot of equipment behind. Why? They are facing a logistics collapse like that seen by the armies of the Tzar in 1917, after the Summer offensive." #SlavaUkraini Time is not on Russia's side. nadinbrzezinski.medium.com/logistics-coll…

Four-point peace plan for Ukraine (updated). And no, I don't care how much the Russian government and military is embarrassed, they have committed awful war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. Evil deeds cannot go unchecked.
112
If anyone asked me, I would add every M40 Gas mask (older version of what we used in the US Army) in existence to the #Ukraine️ list of urgent needs (just as a precaution @ZelenskyyUa ) they protect against many chemical & biological agents. Can be purchased by anyone.

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.
115
Putin has already lost the war in Ukraine. War is a contest of wills. Putin & the Russian military can never break the will of the Ukrainian soldier/people/political party or international community of free (providing mil aid) to fight them until all Russians are out of Ukraine.
116
Putin concludes his speech without declaring mobilization or war on Ukraine. Ukraine has the initiative. Backed by 40 nations, better weapons, better supplies. Russian troops running out of time. They committed 80% of their BTGs, lack sufficient ground units. Ukraine will win!

“Why Is America spending $66 Billion on Ukraine?”
118
There is no stalemate in Ukraine. Anyone that claims it is not educated in strategy, military affairs, or the situation on the ground in Ukraine.
119
Look at that. A serious look at the quality of Russia’s “military” forces. Insane lack of discipline, basic field sanitation, hygiene, standards, security. More of a vagabond homeless camp than any military temporary or long term base or outpost. twitter.com/nexta_tv/statu…

To the Ukrainian people fighting. You MUST to block all the streets. Slow vehicles down so you can shoot at them or throw Molotovs at them. You must be inside buildings. Anyone with a weapon on the streets can be seen by Russians and hit by rockets or artillery. @KyivIndependent

One of the most powerful defense tactics is the establishment of engagement areas (kill zones...places the enemy will die). 7 simple steps (adjusted for simplicity):

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…
125
Providing military aid (all that they need) to Ukraine is the path to peace. It allows Ukraine to defend its people and land. Putin will only stop when he can no longer commit violence on Ukrainians and when his military has completely culminated in Ukraine. #ArmUkraineNow
