it started out as an attempt to be like eboue but it's just become laziness now.
Russian invasion of Ukraine | Fewer tweets, more discussion

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
And what's the benefit for NATO in all of this?
But this is not what @neverdie told us. Anyone who believes Nafo was ever a fator in their invasion is simply a fallen a victim to Russian propaganda. The only reason Nafo was ever a problem for Putin is that it prevents him for conducting the genocide in other countries and accomplishing his imperialist aspirations.

Who could predict that some shiba inu twitter shitposters would be used as a pretext for large scale war in the 21st century, huh? What a timeline!

Kyselivka is only 26 km from Kherson!
Won't be long before Ukrainian troops are on Ushakova (the main drag in Kherson0
Meanwhile Russia is more focused on making life as miserable for civilians as they possibly can.

I still don’t get why west is so slow with air defense supplies in right quantities?

While your question is valid I don't get the connection to the tweet? Air defense doesn't protect against artillery shelling.
These are cruise missiles though? In this case it was x-22, previously, it also used missiles to attack power grids?
Oh, then I misunderstood what happened.
The question of air defense is a tough one. Ukraine is huge and it would need a massive amount of AD systems to really protect it completely. I doubt NATO itself has enough, also I do agree they could try harder than they do.

If this guy is right that means the Ukrainians have penetrated the first of 3 defensive positions along the M14 highway into Kherson.

NATO tried very hard to basically bribe Russia into joining the international order. That's what NATO wanted, was for Russia to join NATO, not fight it.
If NATO wanted to fight, why don't any of them have an army besides the US?
If any of you are interested in a longer form read about the day to day analysis of the war, I highly recommend ISW’s Understanding War page…

No matter how this war ends up for Ukraine, this man has been the most inspirational leader I have seen in my adult life.
It's so absurd to believe that what is currently happening is in any way a desirable scenario for NATO, especially the EU (and Germany in particular). I'm completely sure every NATO member would have loved to avoid all of this.

This looks like a good opportunity to set up the Kaliningrad People’s Republic as a buffer zone, followed by a referendum to see if they want to join NATO.
Especially strange since Russia is running out of equipment as well. Even if they have personnel, their resources and production capacities are bound in Ukraine.
There is no logical explanation for this except that he says these things to support the chancellor who for some reason doesn't want to support Ukraine the way Germany should and could.
Have UA liberated whole of Kharkiv oblast?
I said it at the beginning of this war and I will say it again:
The West shouldn't be afraid of escalation. It should be the Russians who are scared of escalation!
Why? Because the West is ten times stronger than the Russians. Unfortunately our leadership is very weak.

That was an excellent thread explaining part of the rot in the Russian army. He also did one on corruption.
Almost, some of the land east of the Oskil river is still under Russian control.
It isn't even hard to believe when you consider there is historical precedent for this. If I'm remembering right, Japan hid their carrier losses at the Battle of Midway from not only the general public, but also a significant part of their own high-command. There were also US carriers that they claimed as sunk multiple times, only for them to re-appear again and again in subsequent engagements.

I think the fear is the nuclear escalation where everybody loses. Obviously, in a conventional conflict, the US by itself could easily overthrow the Russian regime and US tanks could reach Moscow within a few months.
But, if there is a nuclear escalation, then one being 10x stronger doesn’t make a difference.
Of course, this is not to say that the US (and rest of NATO) should not do anything. They have played this perfectly so far, and as long as the help to Ukraine continues, Russia is fecked.
Leaving the door open for gas supplies to eventually resume because in fact there really isn't a viable alternative that doesn't mean higher prices being the norm with potential devastating effects on German industry?
No, the West did not play it perfectly. On the contrary. There are thousands and thousands of dead Ukrainians and their country has been destroyed for no good reason.
The West should have made the Russians so scared that they will be destroyed completely, that they wouldn't even think of invading anyone. The West has more and better nuclear weapons and the Russians know this too.
Unfortunately, the Western leaders are too weak for anything like that, and Putin knows this. The Ukrainians pay the price. It is terrible to say that "the West played it perfectly".
