One of the closest U.S. supported operations to the current urban battles in the Israel-Gaza War was the 2016-17 Battle of Mosul against ISIS. Only months after returning from commanding U.S./Coalition support during the battle General Stephen Townsend had these comments 🧵

[John Spencer @SpencerGuard]

“The Battle of Mosul, a city of 2 million people…complex terrain, subterranean…some multi-story buildings…11, 20 stories high…lasted nine months…longer than the battle of Stalingrad…probably 8 to 900,000 remaining in the city at the peak of the battle…"

“Yahya Sinwar drove a strategy to exploit Israel’s willingness to trade Palestinian prisoners for hostages; Gaza leader spent two decades in prison in Israel”

[John Spencer @SpencerGuard]

Know they enemy “Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar studied Israel for two decades while in prison, and now is betting the country will trade Palestinian prisoners for hostages.” ⁦@WSJ⁩ https://t.co/Gu5mawZCzP

As I said, I take huge issue with the use of the word “failed” by the @nytimes.

Ukraine did not achieve all their operational objectives during their counteroffensive, but they took back a significant amount of their sovereign territory, and they need continued support.

Ukraine‘s largest mobile provider KyivStar experienced severe problems today, a Russian cyberattack is not excluded. Mobile network is not only crucial for private calls and internet access, it is essential for payment systems in most shops, and even in public transport.

Hostages first. Every single one. Even the women who have been raped by #Hamas_is_ISIS savages. Release them alive. Release the Bibas family. Release all remains of those murdered in captivity. Soldiers remains from 2014. Civilians held since 2014. Then. Hamas lays down its arms and surrenders Sinwar. Then a ceasefire.

Israel is not interested in a repetition of #October7massacre

Zelensky received a standing ovation after his speech at the National University in Washington.

The Ukrainian President declared:
'We won't surrender. We know what to do, and you can count on Ukraine. Similarly, we hope to count on you. It's crucial that politics doesn't betray our soldiers.'

Today, Volodymyr Zelensky is scheduled to address the senators.

BREAKING LEAKED VIDEO: CEO of IBM @ArvindKrishna admits to using coercion to fire people and take away their bonuses unless they discriminate in the hiring process.

“You got to move both forward by a percentage that leads to a plus on your bonus," Krishna said about hiring Hispanics, "and by the way if you lose, you lose part of your bonus.”

After pulling ads from X for 'racism,' IBM chief Arvind Krishna says he will fire, demote or strip bonuses from execs who don't hire enough blacks, Hispanics — or hire too many Asians

"Asians are not an underrepresented minority in tech in America...I’m not going to finess this, for blacks we should try to get towards 13 percent," says Krishna.

Paul Cormier, the chairman of Red Hat, a subsidiary of IBM, says in the leaked recording that Red Hat has terminated people because they weren't willing to engage in racial discrimination through hiring and promotion.

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act makes it illegal for employers to discriminate on the basis of race in the workplace. #IBMLeaks

This is every large company in America for the past 40 years.

If you are just learning about this today, that's part of the story too.

Several quotes from the inaugural speech of Donald Tusk, the new prime minister of Poland:

🔹️"Poland will regain its position as a leader in the European Union... Poland will build its strength, the position it deserves"

🔹️ “Poland is and will be a key, strong, sovereign link in NATO, and Poland will be a loyal, stable, ally of the United States, confident of its strength and importance”

🔹️ We will … loudly and decisively demand the full mobilisation of the free world, the Western world, to help Ukraine in this war. There is no alternative”

Thank you for support!

RESIGN LADIES!

#ClaudineGay and #RonnaMcDaniel should both resign from their respective positions. It’s not about weathering storms. It’s about doing the right thing for the institutions that trusted you with power. Nothing is to be gained by hanging on. Do us a favor and resign, please! #Harvardu #RNC

For those in town making choices on security assistance to Ukraine, if you need more reasons, then I have a warning to share with you about the Kremlin. I feel that I have a duty to warn. /1
