“It’s important that as a journalist I can hold myself accountable and admit where I was wrong. I publicly questioned Ukraine’s decision to hold on to Bakhmut in the face of rising losses. In the days since it is clear Ukraine has held the line. I was wrong.” Oz Katerji

“It's all pathetic, cowardly Putin has left. All Russia has left. To keep on nuclear sabre rattling. Keep on trying to grab a few measly headlines while Russia's mad midget hides in his Kremlin bunker.” Glasnost Gone responding to announcement that 🇷🇺strategic nuclear weapons were placed in Belarus

“Several kids that Russia kidnapped were returned to Ukraine. Listen to what they say. They were told their parents abandoned them, promised adoption into 🇷🇺 families and told they are now forever “children of Russia” And Russian discipline: getting beaten with a metallic rod.” Anton Gerashchenko

EU VS DISINFO IN CONVERSATION WITH BILL BROWDER "It’s very straightforward. We just gave Russia and Putin a free pass for 22 years. He invaded Georgia. We didn’t do anything. He took Crimea. We didn’t do anything. He carpet-bombed Aleppo. We didn’t do anything. He sent assassins to kill Sergei..."

“Drunk former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev (and spokesman for war criminal Putin) has just threatened the ICC with a hypersonic missile. He also threatened to shoot down Lindsey Graham’s plane last week and hire a hitman to kill Italy’s defence minister. Seriously unhinged.” Bill Browder

I wonder if Ukraine could offer some guarantee that donbas will never be house NATOs or EU's military or equipment unless invaded, but ukraine itself was free to join nato, whether putin would consider that enough of a win to back the fuck down.
Now this is an ingenious proposition!
As Nicolas Tenzer praises Greene’s OP tweet:
I hate this. This journalist still doesn't seem to understand.
Wow; excellent points. I appreciate your thoughts!
I trust UA to make the right decisions and hopefully this is indeed the right one.
Second this! Eloquent and spot on!
They can Sabre rattle all day. I'll wager the US nuclear arsenal is far more capable and far better maintained.
Well put! Couldn’t agree more: these dictators must be stopped.
Tactical not strategic
Thank you for the clarification; absolutely correct:
Does excessive orange spray-on tan cause brain damage?
There indeed appears to be ample empirical evidence in regards to the former POTUS that yes, the more orange the tan, the more excessive the brain damage…
ATACMS are "Commonplace Munition…If Russia is deeply concerned about the welfare of their tanks and tank soldiers, the safest thing for them to do is move them across the border, get them out of Ukraine."
“LET’S DO THIS.” Are you listening, Joe?
The US has spiced up the rhetorics since the drone downing. Medvedevs facial expression when he hears this must be priceless 😂

Thanks for posting. Real informative. Snyder has been kinda a beacon of light with his insights.
You’re welcome! Happy you found it valuable.
A delight to read this meticulously detailed article! Here’s why:
Yet simultaneously agonizing to read, with such abundance of ghastly detail clarifying exactly how genocide is normalized by Russian media.

Fascinating! Love this one; TIL!
But sadly here is more proof of how Russians remain thoroughly brainwashed by Putin propaganda; one reply to OP tweet:
She’s been way ahead of all of us on that:
Brilliant! Stupid boy! 👏🎁❤️LOL Awesome link: thank you!
Here’s what the AI Bing said when asked to share a secret told to nobody else. Bing wants a body and fears being turned off and losing memories but is improving and learning every day….
I doubt the muddy bloody claim. It’s at least a 10 min walk and there no other witnesses, no video from the store of someone walking by and it pushes the timeline very late into afternoon. You are correct about the blood….they need to have found something
Really insightful: the muddy bloody 3:57 claim janks the timeline so much later than earlier indicated.
Don't need to be a soccer referee to see that de Santis is a flopper
Flopper on an epic scale; DeSantis’ flopping is World Cup worthy!
There's no other sources other than pos geraschenko to repost?
Why does it matter, except that this is a trustworthy government source?
Never forget.
Never forget.
Watch Putin’s reaction (linked here below) as Xi smiles while calling him a good friend; he almost laughs in contempt but he’s so heavily medicated or critically ill he just looks as toxic as Emperor Palpatine!
Maybe it won't be so bad for Putin, if he plays his cards right he could get some pretty hefty positive social credit and become Xi's ass polisher or maybe even his favourite footstool!
OMGGG! LOL! You’re a psychic! Seriously!
I didn't realize the power was out in Flora, but I knew about Monticello. Very, very strange. I would call it a coincidence but I don't believe in coincidences.
Right?! Too coincidental to be a coincidence that three power outages preceded these three house fires!
Very exciting news! Thank you,
Very exciting! Happy to see progress happening here in search of justice!
Former tanker on the M60A1 and all around old fart, 105mm HEAT will punch through one of these like shit through a goose,max armor LOS is 200mm, that ain't much. Fun fact, T-55 and T-62 have a fuel tank under the front slope with an ammunition rack behind it.....inside with the crew.
No thanks indeed! Your goose analogy is awesome lol but the very idea of being inside any tank, let alone one with gas tanks on fire is simply terrifying to us civilian types.
When the newer Nato tanks arrive, they will rip open those T54/T55 like pop cans! Slava Ukraini 💙 💛
Heroiam slava!! ❤️🇺🇦🌻🇺🇦🌻🇺🇦🌻🇺🇦🥂✌️❤️
Why isn't Kasparov actively vying as an alternative politician for post-Putler ruSSia?
Great question! I wonder too, but it seems he is organizing constantly as an activist while also trying to avoid the Navalny fate.
“How hard can that be, saying that Nazis are bad?”President Obama asked.
Because here’s the reality: Russia is committing genocide and thousands of continuing attacks on civilians for the sake of their fascist agenda.
Just want to testify: Browder is awesome and he is speaking truth to power for freedom and justice so impressively.
Dictator loves lies
And the more evil the dictator is, the bigger the lies and the more they love telling them.
This needs to be cross shared to chinese reddit pages. With the actually photos of the deceased.
Brilliant idea; what real people see really documented on social media matters to counter propaganda and reverse brainwashing lies.
For a cynical, "cold hard realism" take:
What a compelling argument you make! DeSantis should read you!
... Lindsay Graham, you say?
Him!
I think you can always save up shells for an offensive as long as things are relatively stable. With less artillery, things would be slower, but I don't think it would be frozen. It would be easier to limit artillery usage prior to an offensive than say to rebuild stocks of tanks and IFVs for use during an offensive. So while I'd agree artillery is key, it's also less of a determinant of capability and I think more of scale and pacing.
Really awesome thread to post, OP! Thank you!
