This morning’s statement from Liz Cheney, a true American patriot.

[Adrienne LaFrance @AdrienneLaF]

Victoria Nuland to @mckaycoppins: "Foreign counterparts would say it to me straight up, 'The first Trump election—maybe people didn’t understand who he was, or it was an accident. A second election of Trump? We’ll never trust you again.'”

9/ As this useful thread from @prune602 in August highlights, loading on Russian Railways is in decline. This is a serious problem for the entire Russian economy, as it's heavily dependent on rail freight.

1/ Russian Railways is planning to reduce the number of freight cars it operates by 100,000 as it faces a deep crisis, with employees leaving to fight in Ukraine and a lack of spare parts due to sanctions. It's expected to have a widespread economic impact. ⬇️

Great that this letter is getting out. It’s been signed by a large group of academics, policy makers and practitioners. I’m amongst them.

And History's pages will concur, more the pity.

Behold!!😧
The world's first 'true' experiment in Democracy &, not by chance, it's present-day 'most powerful nation' has been reduced to this. Not at the hands of one man but rather by those who's puppet he self-interestedly & willingly is. History's pages will not be kind.

Zelensky about Russian recent drone and missile attacks

--

Last night, Russia terrorized Ukraine with more than 50 attack drones, and over the past week, it has struck more than 900 bombs, launched about 30 missiles and nearly 500 “Shaheds” in various regions of Ukraine.

Most of these strikes were directed against civilian objects and critical infrastructure.

And not just most, but all of these strikes would not have been possible if we had sufficient support from the world in obvious things. In long-range missile defense for security. Really effective sanctions that would not allow Russia to import critical components for the production of drones and missiles, including microelectronics. And also in political decisions that can destroy Russia's will to fight. Ukraine deserves the same robust security as all our other partners in the free world.

Canada is dispatching top officials across the United States to stave off policies that could harm its interests if Trump returns to office. https://t.co/Si32uUu8xw

Good grief, it's Day 980 of #Russia's war on #Ukraine

In future years, assuming we're allowed free thinking & critical education, historians will wonder how, and why, the west supported #Ukraine a little but were fearful to get the job done and stop tyranny.
