Ukraine situation: halted a superpower. Kherson is more important and an easier fight. Western supplies accelerating, vast reinforcements in training, deeper attacks, innovative tactics, great strategy, great leadership.

I do enjoy twitter but I’m considering leaving the platform and everything Elon because of his help for the fascist RF empire. He should be tried and hung as a traitor.

[Mark Burton @MarkBur63379803]

@GlasnostGone I hope Uk puts a UK flag on those ships. RF empire would have to commit an act of war to stop them with arms.

[Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office @FCDOGovUK]

Open-source reporting has shown Russia is falsifying its sham "elections" in parts of Ukraine by:

🔴 evicting Ukrainians
🔴 illegally transferring Russian voters into Ukraine
🔴 pre-determining results

Don't be fooled – the Kremlin is pulling the strings.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

Exposing how dangerous it is to have fickle, misinformed oligarchs with leverage over US national security. SpaceX & Starlink are marvelous, but if Musk's delusional "anti-war" agenda leads him to interfere with their services to Russia's advantage, it's a huge risk.

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

1/2. Not just a risk. Musk's decision bought Russia time to build defenses and lay mines. This extended the war and killed thousands of people.

[Mark Burton @MarkBur63379803]

@elonmusk @MarioNawfal Nothing to do with the “land”. It’s the people and long term security for Ukraine, the reparations, repatriation of deported Ukrainians, extradition of suspected war criminals. All Ukraine goals can be met.
Give Ukraine half your money.
Orchestrate X.
You can do it!

[🇺🇦Ukraine Resists ruzzian Genocide... Yeah Again @ArmedMaidan]

Four Ukrainian manoeuvre brigades and one artillery brigade effectively destroyed the equivalent of three full Russian divisions in the Robotyne sector in two months, enabling Ukrainian forces to crash through the enemy's second line of defenses there while mauling Russia's last strategic reserves, analyst Tom Cooper reports today

Devastating Ukrainian attrition pushed Russia's line to a day or two from collapse before the enemy rushed in reinforcements from other sectors, including the 76th Guards Air Assault Division about 10 days ago, Cooper says

Elements of the 76th led an air-supported counterattack on Ukainian positions from the direction of Novokropivka earlier this week

Ukraine returned-to-sender that attempt and has now advanced into Novokropivka, south of Robotyne, and the outskirts of Verbove, to the east

Ukrainian forces now widen the breach of enemylines, while proceeding to "maul" the remainder of the Russian 76th Division, whose forces have now been dispersed widely across the sector in an attempt to plug up the nearly collapsed line

@KilledInUkraine I only look at Following. And look at the daft algorithm. Nothing to do ad revenue or growth or engagement. Just daft rules. 🚀 Love Tesla and Elon! Be negative! Down with Russia. Haha. https://t.co/6AtqX4KDIt

[🇺🇦Ukraine Resists ruzzian Genocide... Yeah Again @ArmedMaidan]

btw "said bad things about [he who must not be named]" = -100 in the X algorithm!

"hazing" (eg "pound sand," "kick rocks") = 50

"exceptionally positive" post = -75

"exceptionally negative" = 75

caps = 60

lowercase ("nihilistic energy") = 40

🍆 = 10

@TrentTelenko The Zuzana SPG with fully automatic loading can fire 6 53kg shells in 40 seconds and hit the same spot 20km away simultaneously.
But yes, I thought your thread made a lot of sense and it implies much of the artillery workload will shift.
The infantry squad is the new platform.

[Defense of Ukraine @DefenceU]

Minister @rustem_umerov:
For me, this war did not begin in 2022, and not even in 2014. For my family and the Crimean Tatar people, the war with russia began several centuries ago, when moscow first occupied my native Crimea. I was born after my family had been deported, and as a child lived through the hardships brought about by russian colonialism, which attempted to make indigenous Crimean Tatar people feel as though they were aliens on their own land. They did not succeed back then, and they will never succeed. Our main goal today is to win the war.

[Mark Burton @MarkBur63379803]

@jammes_nova @GlasnostGone Russia is terrorising and genocidal, Ukraine wants to win. Military and critical capabilities that support the military such as the government, power networks are better targets than marketplaces.

@RussianEmbassy @mfa_russia @Telegraph @guardian @FT @Daily_Express @TheEconomist @spectator @DailyMailUK @TheSun @SkyNews RF empire wasted £7,500 million on tanks invading Ukraine.
RF empire has diminished its military capabilities, crashed its economy and proved it is led by idiots.
Challenger tank well spent!

[Mark Burton @MarkBur63379803]

@Tatarigami_UA @FromTheEE Anti shahed and cruise missions, launching AA missiles at kh52 from 100km behind the border should not take long (yeah, ok, maintenance may take longer).
A few could make a real difference.
Ukr might even get experienced volunteers.

[Mark Burton @MarkBur63379803]

@MFA_China Clearly Japanese ever since they were first explored by Japan. No change by WW2. End of.
Focus on getting back your land occupied by Russia!

[Mark Burton @MarkBur63379803]

@CrocodileChuck @k_sonin Putin appointed by Yeltsin because Putin guaranteed Y’s safety. He was the safest option.
Putin then had to survive, like a prince in a divided kingdom.
Oil price rose, he got elected, but not free & fair. Oil sank, turned to oppression and chaos.

[Mark Burton @MarkBur63379803]

@zetje01 @pn_warner @berlin_bridge @AirSpirit777 - heavy reliance on dismounted infantry
+ the drone is the game changer like the tank in WW1 & UAF ahead
+ RF cannot fly near the front
+ UAF using interior lines
- RF external lines and logistics bottlenecks
+ RF air defences diminished (U flying TB2 again)

[Mark Burton @MarkBur63379803]

@zetje01 @pn_warner @berlin_bridge @AirSpirit777 Ignoring Mearsheimer and that there isn’t sufficient evidence for success or failure at this stage of the ‘southern offensive’ which started 4th June, we could list positive and negative indication.
+ tactical advance through toughest line
- not much ability to use armour

[Mark Burton @MarkBur63379803]

@RishiSunak @GlasnostGone Presumably, since Putin stated many times recently it is state funded but no longer, does that not make RF a state sponsor of terrorism?

[Mark Burton @MarkBur63379803]

@zetje01 @pn_warner @berlin_bridge @AirSpirit777 It’s also hard to see your map. This one is clearer.
