Today is my grandma’s 80th Birthday. She has to be the luckiest woman in #Ukraine as she shares her birthday with the day that the UA Orthodox Church officially becomes independent from #Russia after 333 years! Best Birthday Present EVER! #TomosForUkraine

We should get back to the topic of chronically insufficient procurement of weapons that we can produce and could have been easily contracted.

"We forced Ukraine to give up nuclear weapons, cruise missiles, and strategic bombers.. We promised to protect Ukraine from Russia. We made Ukraine vulnerable. So yes,this is our war." - Bill Clinton 🫡

KALLAS: Russia is trying to get those territories they haven't been able to conquer militarily in 12 years around the negotiation table. It's the Russian playbook of negotiations: they are demanding something that has never been theirs. This is a trap we should not fall into.

Hillary Clinton's private email server was front page news for weeks. Meanwhile FBI Director Kash Patel's private emails are hacked - and shared publicly - by Iran and it barely makes headlines for a day.

Maternity ward in Odesa. Again. The hardest was evacuating newborn twins on ventilators. When Russian Shaheds attacked, doctors moved 33 pregnant women and 19 newborns to safety in a bomb shelter. Then helped put out the fire.

You hated Obama because you're racists. We hate trump because he's a pedophile.

When I travel outside of Ukraine, I get daily intelligence updates online. This morning, I was briefed that U.S. military facilities in the Middle East and the Gulf region were photographed by Russian satellites in the interests of Iran. On March 24th, they imaged the U.S.–UK joint military facility on Diego Garcia located in the Chagos Archipelago in the Indian Ocean. They also captured pictures of Kuwait International Airport and parts of the infrastructure of the Greater Burgan oil field. On March 25th, they took pictures of the Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia. The Shaybah oil and gas field in Saudi Arabia, İncirlik Air Base in Türkiye, and Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar were all imaged on March 26th. There are no Ukrainian facilities on this list. But who is helping whom when sanctions are lifted from an aggressor that earns daily revenue and provides intelligence for strikes against American, Middle Eastern, UK, and U.S.–UK bases and so on? When surveillance is carried out over facilities in Ukraine, we always understand that they must be protected, since plans are in motion to destroy them – energy and water infrastructure, military facilities, and so on. Everyone knows that repeated reconnaissance indicates preparations for strikes. How can sanctions be eased if this is what the Russians are doing? There must be pressure on the aggressor. And lifting sanctions is certainly not pressure. It looks strange. Sanctions are being lifted, while the aggressor is providing intelligence to strike facilities, including those of the countries that are discussing or have already lifted sanctions. From my conversation with journalists (3/3).

Russian forces are actively using equipment from the American company Ubiquiti to set up communication systems and control drones. This is active American complicity in war crimes.

They put forth bills to pay TSA 9 times and the republicans voted against them

Actually, Viktor Orban wants to continue to buy Russian oil and therefore to send Hungarians’ money to Moscow.

Ukraine is helping our allies, Russia is helping Iran. Is the Administration listening?

You don’t need to take Volodymyr Zelenskyy or Marco Rubio at their word to find out that Rubio is bluntly lying. Just look at Provision 21 of Trump’s 28-point peace plan: “Ukrainian forces will withdraw from the part of Donetsk Oblast that they currently control, and this withdrawal zone will be considered a neutral demilitarized buffer zone, internationally recognized as territory belonging to the Russian Federation. Russian forces will not enter this demilitarized zone.”

It’s always been a movement of dorks and weirdos…

Donald Trump has the slowest GDP growth of any President in the last 100 years. The top three are Democrats. 6 out of the bottom 8 are Republicans. But yeah, Republicans are good for the economy!

This is completely wrong. All Ukraine’s attacks on Russian oil infrastructure have been carried out using Ukraine’s indigenously developed drones and cruise missiles. No American weaponry has been used.

British nuclear weapons mean that Russia is highly disincentivised to conduct attacks that would make the British state desperate, incl. in the context of a wider war in Europe. Any sensible disarmament advocate would grapple w/ this argument rather than pretend it does not exist

I’m not a “high priest of nuclear theology” (whatever that is) but can still explain the purpose of the UK’s nuclear deterrent; it is to stop your country - Russia - from engaging in nuclear blackmail against us.

BREAKING: Zelensky just landed in the UAE and signed a defence cooperation agreement with President MBZ. The deal on the table changes everything about this war. Ukraine is offering Gulf states 1,000 drone interceptors per day. Each Sting interceptor costs $2,100. Each Patriot missile it replaces costs $3.9 million. In exchange, Ukraine wants the Patriot missiles the Gulf states are burning through, because Kyiv cannot get enough of them to stop Russian missiles. Read that again. The country America refused to arm fast enough is now arming America’s allies with a weapon that costs 1,857 times less than the one America cannot produce fast enough. The National reported on March 27 that Zelensky told reporters: “We’d like to quietly receive the Patriot missiles we have a deficit of, and give them a corresponding number of interceptors.” AFP confirmed the UAE agreement on March 28. Eleven countries have formally requested Ukraine’s drone defence expertise per Zelensky’s own count. Over 200 Ukrainian military specialists are already deployed across the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Jordan. Here is the arithmetic that should terrify every Pentagon procurement officer on earth. The United States fired 943 Patriot interceptors in the first four days of the Iran war per a US Congressional study cited by the Jerusalem Post. That is eighteen months of Lockheed Martin’s annual production consumed in 96 hours. Each of those 943 shots cost $3.9 million. Total expenditure: $3.68 billion in four days on defensive interceptions alone. Iran produces 10,000 Shahed drones per month per Reuters. Each drone costs $20,000 to $50,000. The cost exchange ratio is 114 to 1 in Iran’s favour per Military Times. Ukraine’s Sting interceptor inverts this arithmetic entirely. At $2,100, the cost ratio flips from 114-to-1 against America to roughly 10-to-1 against Iran. Ukraine can supply 1,000 per day. That is 30,000 per month against Iran’s 10,000 Shaheds per month. For the first time in this war, the defender’s production rate exceeds the attacker’s production rate at a fraction of the cost. And the country that built this weapon is the same country that Trump publicly rejected. “No, they are not helping. We do not need their help. We know more about drones than anyone else” per Fox News. He doubled down: “The last person we need help from is Zelensky.” Meanwhile the Pentagon notified Congress of plans to redirect $750 million in Ukraine-bound Patriot missiles to Gulf states per House of Saud reporting. America is simultaneously refusing Ukraine’s cheap solution and cannibalising Ukraine’s expensive one. Zelensky framed this explicitly. He told The National: “No matter how many Patriots, THAADs, or other air-defence systems are in the Middle East, that alone is not enough for fully effective air defence.” He told the UK Parliament: “When it comes to shooting down massive Shahed attacks, only Ukrainian experience can really help with this today.” The Pentagon is spending $3.9 million per interception, raiding Swiss fighter jet accounts to cover shortfalls, and diverting Ukraine’s own Patriot supply to the Gulf. Zelensky is offering the same result for $2,100 and producing 1,000 units per day. The market has a word for this kind of disruption. The $2,100 drone is the most important weapon in this war. And the country that built it is the one America said it did not need. Full analysis - open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

Oh we want hardened shelters now do we Ya fuckin think?

NATO is a defense alliance and not your personal army, you schmuck.
