Books 3 and 4 of my Blood & Covenant series are out.

If you like my writing on Twitter, then you will likely enjoy the series: about power, necromancy, and fighting for the light in a world that has become used to the darkness:

- Volodymyr Zelensky 🇺🇦:

"Russia does not count how many people it loses each month. Last month it was 52.000.

Can you imagine what is going on in the head of the leader of that nation, if he accepts losing 52.000 people?

..................

Where does the value of a human being lie in that country?
In Russia, the value lies in building an empire...at the expense of its own people's lives.🤢

⚡️ Leaked Russian records reveal that Russia registered the deaths of 11,335 foreign nationals from nearly 100 countries fighting in its war.

@Drake_Marcus We prefer peace but will fight to win when invaded.

[Long T. Standing / Лонг Т. Стендінг @Longtstanding]

10 months of troops if we don't do 50k a month and only 30k.

6 months if we hit our ZSU goals.

Russia may mobilize 300,000 more troops. Will it alter front-line dynamics, or trigger new political risks for Putin? Experts weigh in.

@United24media It is not "Disruption"; it is "Sabotage". The difference is intent versus a technical error.

⚡️ BREAKING: A 161 km/h speed restriction is disrupting Starshield operations across the front line and temporarily occupied territories, Zelenskyy says.

He warned that the limits prevent air defense systems from reaching the speeds needed to intercept Russian jet-powered drones, resulting in direct hits as Kyiv works to clarify the situation with the US.

@Kopschot Not always some people literally laothe me 🫡

[Long T. Standing / Лонг Т. Стендінг @Longtstanding]

I just want to say that Ukraine defending itself is not a "forever war". Ukraine is winning, and the facts support that assessment.

I understand it makes some people angry that Ukraine can win.

Causes national insecurity in several loudmouth nations, my birth nation is one example.

However, as we take losses, as our civilians are hunted and infrastructure demolished again, we don't take this as victory, we take it as being 3 feet from gold so to speak, we are still fighting like hell. We know we can win.

We are not doing that by other nations' armies, unlike Russia. Who if Iran, North Korea, and China all pulled support they would not last a month in the condition they have dug themselves into.

What really disgusts me, is that some people believe the most absurd crap and post it.

There is nothing revolutionary about becoming cruel just because the world has been cruel to you.

Sometimes choosing to remain compassionate is the most meaningful resistance there is.

[Gianl1974 @Gianl1974]

Norway has just bought 500.000 drones to be donated to Ukraine. That’s a real ally.

Slava Ukraini!🇳🇴🇺🇦

[Long T. Standing / Лонг Т. Стендінг @Longtstanding]

@United24media They will have to. After all being co-dependent on foreign nations is not a success strategy. Slava Upgrades.

BREAKING: Thomas Massie’s resolution to impeach Pete Hegseth fails in the House 211-204, after 11 Democrats failed to show up for the vote.

If those 11 Democrats had showed up, Hegseth would have been impeached 215-211.

Kushner says Russia is “peace loving” as Russia slams missiles into apartment buildings on a daily basis. Well, what can we really expect from him. He maintains the same of Israel.

[Long T. Standing / Лонг Т. Стендінг @Longtstanding]

@BohuslavskaKate Been saying it for years.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

Throttling Starshield during the peace talks is a crystal-clear attempt to pressure Ukraine into accepting unfavorable deals, I hope everyone understands this.

​I hope it is also clear that Ukraine is the only side the U.S. chooses to pressure: the victim, not the aggressor.

We do not discuss all the aspects of war that Russia used to rule Ukraine. The way they taught their families to behave with one another, how citizens were to be treated, and which god to believe. It was not simply a war against language; it was a war against Ukraine's humanity. Against leadership, education, and the belief of the everyday citizen in themselves and their dreams.

Many battles on and off the battlefield are being fought across Ukraine, in homes, schools, even within the military itself. There is an uprising against the Russian way, a taking back and rejection of the silence that was forced. It will not be easy; no war, even cultural ones, is ever easy.

I hope the longer we fight and decide, the more we talk about it, the greater responsibility we take for it. The less shame in silence, honor in secrets, all needs to end, it is Russian it is not Ukraine. As someone not raised here, I am not Russian in my ways, and this is made clear to me and others. I grew up with other oppressions.

Beliefs and ideas that I, too, had to grow and move past. I did, and I believe Ukraine will, too. Took me years to see into Ukraine. I do now see, and silence is still a weapon used in their families, shame a tool wielded against each other, as Russia has taught them, so they must now teach themselves to be better, lead stronger, to not allow old systems to grow branches into the new ones.

I lost 27 friends before I was 27 to the Iraq and Afghan war, in terms of PTSD that included one husband later, and more friends then I can count. Also I am a US veteran from that same era.

I also don't believe a word he said and now yes, after that rant of a reply he is 100% blocked.

Anyone who thinks it will take "American troops in Ukraine is the only way to win" is so delusional.

Then I realized, he is from Florida 😂😂 beware of the false supporter folks dudes coocoo for trump puffs.

[James Rosone - Amazon KDP All-Star Author @jamesrosone]

Lol, and THIS is why people grow tired of the Ukrainian forever war.

How many of your friends died in Iraq from Iranian-provided EFPs??

Clearly not enough because you don't see Iran as threat worth dealing with.

Cry and bitch all you want. America isn't going to abandon Asia and our Arab Allies because YOU, Europe, and Ukraine demand it.

Denmark could end the flow of Russian energy through the Danish Straits by simply enforcing maritime law and EU sanctions. But those cucks don't have the balls to do so.

America is the only power in Europe that Russia doesn't want to fight. Not the UK, who has reduced the size of the British Army three times since 2022. Not the French who took six weeks just move a single armored brigade from France to Romania.

If Ukraine wasn't surrounded by a continent of cowards who refuse to fight Russia alongside Ukraine right now. Russia would have already been defeated.

The only way this war ends well for Ukraine is for the US to militarily fight Russia directly and end this war.
I fully support going to war with Russia and we should make sure the rest of Europe joins.

20 years of Afghanistan and you want to replicate that in Ukraine, no thanks.

[Long T. Standing / Лонг Т. Стендінг @Longtstanding]

@Drake_Marcus Ah. That makes sense. Over here we are being told we are running out of Russians and may not hit quota. Which upsets the whole battalion 😂
