@BritishArmy @167RegimentChef This shouldn’t have to be said but clearly it does. If you earn the right to wear the uniform of the British armed forces and uphold its values, it doesn’t matter where you are from or what god you worship you will always have my respect. If you don’t like our troops leave

We live world where USA is allied with russia, who is actively helping Iran murder Americans, while betraying Ukraine, who is helping defend Americans against Iran and russia. 😵‍💫 Why are we wasting our needed resources to defend against genocide to help USA, russian accomplices in genocide? Explain to me🤷‍♀️

Ricky Fergusson lost both legs, an eye, and fingers on both hands in a blast in Afghanistan. He was awarded the Military Cross for rescuing wounded comrades on four separate occasions from the frontline. "I’m proud to have saved lives"🎖️🇬🇧 #Veteran

@NatashaMDay Have fun!

Buzzing that we have weather that requires sunnies! 0800-1600 on the car today!

Hostomel Airport, north of Kyiv, 4 years ago today. A pair of Ukrainian Air Force Su-24M tactical bombers drop 500 kg parachute-retarded bombs onto Russian VDV airborne infantry assaulting the airfield.

Today marks four years since russia's full scale invasion in Ukraine. The night before I had not slept because my involvement with Ukraine started in 2014 when russia invaded Crimea and my activism for Ukraine started from America; and I could already see what was about to happen based on the actions of the aggressor. It was a feeling of dread that sat in the pit of my stomach and I was afraid. However, watching russia invade flipped a switch for me that much more needed to be done to fight for freedom and democracy. I made a choice to fight for the values that are ingrained in who I am as an American but also for my Lithuanian ancestors who suffered greatly under russian occupation starting in World War II with its invasion and subsequent occupation. My great-grandparents died never seeing Lithuania free again. It was not something I wanted to see happen again without doing my part to stop it instead of sitting on the sidelines. My journey started as an activist volunteer and now I am an enlisted medic in the Armed Forces of Ukraine doing my part to defend freedom and democracy while helping preserve the fighting strength. We all have a choice to stand and fight for what's right. Its up to us what we do with that choice. The war is not over. Ukraine continues to stand anf fight. Please continue to share about Ukraine, support Ukraine, and freedom and democracy everywhere. And so I ask you today, my friends: What are we doing for Ukraine today?

Disagree.

Hi Ant - I’m the son of a vicar. I was raised in the church. I’ve lived in this country my whole life. So I believe I’m qualified to tell you that you are utterly wrong. And also to say that I have so much to learn from my Muslim, Jewish, Sikh & Hindu friends & neighbours.

Mexico confirmed it kept the US out of the planning and execution of the operation against CJNG, shared only complementary intelligence mandated by their security deal. Playing their cards that close to their chest means Mexican intelligence may have felt the US wasn't trustworthy.

45 Commando snipers having a range moment in Norway. Very obvious difference from Army snipers, the new Leupold HD5 Tremor 3 scopes. Last photo also shows rifle in foreground fitted with ballistic calculator. Although blurry, should be Envision MARS, procured alongside L129A2.

Ireland to buy half as many SPGs as British Army has… I continue to be cross about the state of the Army

Had @laurenboebert been in Congress in early 1941: “Hitler is asking us for a heck of lot less money than Churchill is.” 🙄

I met with Marshal of the Sejm of Poland @wlodekczarzasty. We discussed Ukraine’s European integration process, energy security, and defense cooperation between our countries. It is important to continue preserving and developing relations between Ukraine and Poland. I am grateful to the Marshal for this visit on the eve of the anniversary of the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and to all of Poland for its support of Ukraine. We are grateful for participation in the PURL initiative and count on cooperation within the SAFE mechanism.

Without the ability to import weapons from the US, fund themselves with cash from American narcotics users, circulate illegal tobacco in Canada or launder money through European-controlled tax havens then CJNG and other Mexican cartels would never have amassed this military power

In 1977 the German SF Unit 'GSG' stormed a hijacked Lufthansa airliner in Mogadishu, rescuing all hostages. Two SAS participated using 'flash bang' grenades. This led to demand for SAS CT training, and to buy their grenades including from the Iranian Government... Thread!

I congratulated the Prime Minister of the Netherlands @MinPres, Rob Jetten, on taking office and wished him success and decisive steps. We are grateful to the Netherlands and the Dutch people for their strong support for Ukraine from the very beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion. We discussed Ukraine’s most urgent needs – missiles for air defense systems and energy equipment. We are thankful that, as always, we can count on the support of the Netherlands and its help in protecting lives. We also spoke about negotiations to achieve a dignified peace and the importance of security guarantees. I value the principled support for our positions and the readiness to help in every possible way. We agreed to meet soon and to work on projects that can strengthen our countries. I am grateful to the Prime Minister for his attention to Ukraine since the very first day of his tenure.

On Sept. 28 1936, British Squadron Leader Francis Swain was forced to cut open his pressure suit visor to maintain consciousness due to oxygen pressure failure as he descended after just achieving a fixed wing world altitude record of 49,967 ft in a modified Bristol Type 138A.🫡

Oh yes, Ukraine inflates russian losses to involve Ireland, SPECIFICALLY Ireland, into this conflict. What kind of paranoya is this?
