I will do everything in my power to ensure that these Blue Light Bullies are brought to book. I have already engaged the Executive Director of IPID and will be demanding that Minister Cele ensure SAPS arrest these thugs within 24 hours.

Prigozhin’s rebellion is good for Ukraine because:

-It takes Russian elite fighters away & forces 🇷🇺 army to change focus

-In Russia it exposes the false justifications this invasion is based on

-Wars can end when domestic pressure outweighs frustrations on the battlefield

The size and duration (6 hours plus) of the secondaries at the Rykove (Partyzany) ammo depot (below) argue the PSU storm Shadow Strike hit a RuAF theater level ammo storage depot.

This means things.

A Watery Thread🧵on the economic loss to 🇺🇦 due to the 🇷🇺 destruction of Kakhovka Dam, HPP, Navigation Locks & Reservoir.

I can't begin to piece together all aspects of the devastation, but this is my attempt to identify the under-recognized assets & systems impacted.

This iconic photograph is still considered one of the most-terrifying space photographs to date. Astronaut Bruce McCandless II became the first human being to do a spacewalk without a safety tether linked to a spacecraft. In 1984, he floated completely untethered in space with nothing but his Manned Maneuvering Unit keeping him alive.

10/ In saving their nation, the Ukrainians are attempting the most difficult form of military operation possible. They are not working to the comfortable timelines of the Western media or commentators. https://t.co/nzplzGjTxZ

I accept, it doesn't make it any easier! But - Gosh! It's tough everywhere! Sometimes when you're in South Africa, it fees like you are the only ones battling. I suppose this video sends one message - The grass isn't greener on the other side!
