@alina_bondarnk @loogunda These days, I need a giant tabletop map of Ukraine with little figures I have to push around with a long stick.

I'm a huge fan of @FedorovMykhailo.

He has demonstrated extreme effectiveness in every position he has had.

[Elspeth McGillicuddy @ElspethMcGilli8]

@Rburns1980 @fellaraktar I guess you forgot about russian state media accidentally running a canned article claiming to have captured all of Ukraine on February 26th, 2022.

[Fellaraktar🇺🇦 @fellaraktar]

Man.

Imagine you invaded a country.

Told everyone you’d have them “demilitarised” in 3 days.

Then 4 and a half years later.

You lose 100 ships in 4 days.

To a country that doesn’t even really have a Navy.

Sucks to suck, I guess.

Skill issue.

@The_Davos_Man It's a warehouse store.

The problem with this thread is that it rests *entirely* on the assumption that the US is a reliable, friendly power. Trump is showing that it's anything but, as Denmark has found.

Or put another way: why should Europe buy weapons from a country that's threatening it and has already weaponised its control over technology as a coercive tool, as in the case of the ICC?

Attention attention: lidl in Dublin sells blueberries from Ukraine. I repeat: lidl in Dublin sells blueberries from Ukraine

Я особисто не знайомий, ніколи не бачився й не спілкувався з міністром оборони України @FedorovMykhailo. Але мені достатньо того, що жоден з моїх друзів і знайомих, безпосередньо причетних до Війська чи виробництва зброї, не сказав про нього як про міністра жодного дурного слова. На відміну від усіх попередників. Навпаки — я чув лише позитивні враження та оцінки. А мої друзі — патріоти, не підлабузники. Якщо президент Володимир Зеленський, як і всі ми, хоче, щоб Армія та країна й надалі реально зміцнювалися й змінювалися на краще, то заміна Михайла Федорова неможлива. Це було б найбільшою помилкою, яку можна уявити собі зараз. Моя повна підтримка пану міністру.

@statesdj @DarthPutinKGB @amnesty I think you mean kill, not cure.

[Suzanne Campbell @Suzanne08053]

@Ike_Saul It's tradition, and it's fine. The appointee's only job is to show up and vote with the party. And they shouldn't be anyone actually running for the seat. Think of it like giving Sen. Tim Scott two votes instead of one for a few months.

[Maksym Borodin @adnashmyash]

If rumors about @FedorovMykhailo dismissal from the post of Minister of Defense of Ukraine turn out to be true, this will be a step that will greatly affect President Zelensky's rating. Not in a good way.

The best way to honor Lindsey Graham is to name the russian sanctions bill, the Lindsey Graham Final Act, pass it, and crush the russian economy like it’s 1991.

@fuller_sean @RpsAgainstTrump Oh, come off it, Novichok symptoms are nothing like a heart attack.

[Elspeth McGillicuddy @ElspethMcGilli8]

@jamesp_robinson @willthiel Novichok causes telltale symptoms that are distinct from a heart attack. (Part of the point of Novichok is the terror to others.)

[Pepel Klaasa @pepel_klaasa]

Today I got to hear a taxi driver from Eritrea explain why Putin is such a great man – because he goes to church. He also praised Eritrea’s dictator for finally “dealing with the homos.”

So I asked him: when exactly had gay people wronged him so badly? What terrible thing had they done to him? And if they’re such a menace, is he being persecuted by them here? Strangely enough, he had no answer.

I suggested he might not want to admire Putin too much. A man who’s likely responsible for the deaths of close to a million people is hardly setting a shining example of Christian virtue.

As usual, this was a reminder that being a vatnik isn’t about nationality. It’s a mindset.

[Phillips P. OBrien @PhillipsPOBrien]

When it comes time to write the history of what happened yesterday, it will be understood that Trump wriggled out of providing Ukraine any help defending itself against Russian ballistic missile now--and in its place substitued a vague pledge of possible support in years.

[Elspeth McGillicuddy @ElspethMcGilli8]

@TrueGradient @RadioFreeTom How does Volodymyr Zelenskyy keep his composure? It’s his years of experience with Kvartal 95, I would imagine.

[Jonah Goldberg @JonahDispatch]

I love the idea that Team Platner thinks they can simply dictate his replacement, despite the Maine Dem Party telling them “no.” It’s almost like they struggle grasping how consent works.

[Phillips P. OBrien @PhillipsPOBrien]

If Ukraine gets a license to start the process of building Patriot missiles, but gets no extra deliveries from the USA until they can build their own, it’s a big win for Putin. It means many years with no new Patriots for Ukraine.

[Vasilina Orlova (Василина Орлова) @vasilina_orlova]

By lifting the restrictions on Russian athletes and allowing them to participate in sports displaying the Russian Nazi insignia, such as the contemporary Russian flag, @iocmedia is sending a powerful message that killing millions and inscribing parts of the territory of the neighboring state into your Constitution as part of your state is acceptable. You won't suffer any consequences or reputational losses for doing so as long as you have money, power, and a propaganda machine, signals @iocmedia loud and clear. The world became significantly less safe today.

[Vincent Artman @geogvma]

I think the whole “Masha and the Bear” thing has revealed that there are a lot of smart people who are, for reasons known only to them, deliberately pretending to not understand what soft power is or how it works.
