A forced capitulation of Ukraine would mean a capitulation of the whole community of the West. With all the consequences of this fact. And let no-one pretend that they don’t see this.

11 years ago, a pivotal moment took place in the history of Ukraine. The Berkut special police unit killed 48 people in the center of Kyiv, Yanukovych fled, and the Russians started a war against Ukraine. Share this thread. It`s huge. 👇

Rarely has so much ignorance and ahistorical BS been crammed into a single tweet. I know you and @realDonaldTrump are busy surrendering to a KGB butcher, abandoning the cause of freedom, and destroying the security of America and her allies, but you would do well, @JDVance, to spend some time actually studying history. Start here with Ronald Reagan: “Perhaps you and I have lived too long with this miracle to properly be appreciative. Freedom is a fragile thing and it's never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by way of inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people.  And those in world history who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again.”

❗️Do you trust the President of 🇺🇦Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky?

[Mario @PawlowskiMario]

In my lifetime, I haven’t seen a bigger fighter than Zelensky. Ukraine is on the edge, every worst-case scenario I predicted since the war started is unfolding. Every move by Trump and Musk is playing out exactly as expected—down to the details. And yet, Zelensky keeps fighting.

Imagine that—a soft-spoken actor turning into a war leader in three years. His face, his posture, his entire presence—changed by war, by betrayal, by the weight of the world. In the last few days alone, he’s been in country after country, meeting leader after leader, refusing to break. And what does he get from America? Mockery. They call him a beggar, a coward. But none of them—not Trump, not a thousand Trumps—have even a fraction of this man’s courage.

Meanwhile, the world scrambles. The EU can’t get on the same page. Trump is cozying up to Arabs, Indians, Russians. China? Strangely quiet but experienced. Zelensky himself is calling for them to be at the table. And yet, Trump’s biggest fear is China. The world is shifting, fast. And I saw every piece of this coming, many of us did, but not enough.

This is the face of the hero, true leader, most courageous leader in modern history. Respect him🫡

For a month in a row, we’re not gaining followers.

During this time, we’ve lost ~4000 followers.

Some of them were bots. Some of them weren’t. Regardless, this disrupted our visibility here.

We can’t but rely on you here. Otherwise, we’ll keep on withering away.

Great literature usually doesn’t come to mind when imagining the “dark ages.”

But some of the greatest tales that still shape our culture come from the medieval period.

10 October 1944 | Jewish writer, literary critic, and painter Oser (Ojzer) Warszawski perished at the Auschwitz camp.

Warszawski was born on April 15, 1898, in Sochaczew (then in the Congress Kingdom of Poland, today in Poland). He initially made a name for himself as a Yiddish novelist and critic. His first novel, "The Smugglers", portrayed the harsh life of Jewish communities under German occupation during World War I and received wide acclaim.

In 1924, he settled in Paris, where he mingled with artists in Montparnasse and wrote about Jewish culture and art.

During the war, in 1942, he went to Nice, and then, when the Germans invaded the southern zone, he fled to Saint-Gervais-les-Bains in Savoie, under Italian occupation. After the capitulation of Italy, Warszawski decided to travel to Italy with the routed Italian troops. In September 1943, he was in Rome, and for several months he remained hidden in a Rome prison.

He was arrested by the Gestapo on 17 May 1944, a few days before the Allies liberated Rome. He was deported to Auschwitz and murdered there on 10 October 1944.

Even in his final days, he reportedly continued to write, preserving his profound legacy as a voice of Jewish life and resilience.

Ukrainian journalist Viktoria Roshchina has died in Russian captivity.

On August 3, 2023, Viktoria went missing on Russian-occupied territory of Ukraine. Later, Russia confirmed she was in Russian captivity.

There has been information that Viktoria was to return home soon in a prisoner exchange, and she was being brought to Moscow for that. The circumstances of her death are unclear at the moment.

RIP, Viktoria.

Anne was a Ukrainian princess that became the Queen of France in 1051! This new brigade will stand as an enduring reminder of the Franco-Ukraine alliance!

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

The world slept through the rebirth of Nazism at 5 a.m. on February 24, 2022. And today, everyone who remembers World War II and has survived to this day feels a sense of déjà vu.

The Battle of Kyiv, the bombings of Kharkiv, Odesa, and Dnipro, mass graves, child deportations, filtration camps, and colonies for captives. Russia has brought pages from World War II textbooks back into the global media spotlight, demonstrating that Nazism has resurfaced with each new crime. This time, it simply has a new label: "Made in Russia."

And, as in 1945, only a united free world—united in the Anti-Putin Coalition—can stop the Moscow Nazis through action rather than words. Such a world can keep the new evil from spreading across the entire European continent, and eventually the entire world. Such a world is capable of demonstrating its commitment to the words "Never again!" so that they become relevant again.

Yo Mama

A 🧵 by Long T. Standing

When I first arrived at my battalion I was a barracks gal. I don’t play games or ask for my own room, I just dropped my stuff and set up my bunk with the guys.

The adjustment took no time, we all managed to make it past middle school and into adulthood without incident.

One night after a couple of days I walked in and the guys were playing a game. They would say their age then then two of them would answer “She is old enough to be your mama, or nope.”

I sat on my bunk as they went around the room laughing and most of them got “She could be your mama.”

At the end of the game one asked, “Ok how old is she?”

They all looked at me and one said, “40.” The room erupted into laughter and “No way” and I just smiled and shook my head. The truth is I am almost 41 in July, and I could be their mama.

War is strange because there are things I am terrible at and struggle with to learn fast enough, other times I am excelling at the task.

This is true for everyone I have learned. What makes Ukraine so different is that we each keep learning, and we keep getting better at new things. There is no, “I just do this and that is it.”

Too many professions have died since the beginning of the war so now we must all become what we all need to win, the very best.

Ukraine has in my opinion one of the best militaries in the world the creative genius that flows from nations around the world into Ukraine makes them better. Ukraine listens, Ukraine learns, Ukraine wars not on foreign soil but on their own land.

This makes them better because adaptive capacity wins wars. Learning curves are steep, like a manual transmission on a backroad. Ukraine does not take days off, war is every damn day, so every damn day Ukraines warriors show up.

I have never seen so many learners who had violence as a profession. It is new and amazing to behold, everyone reaches out in our battalion even if they do not know you.

One unit has a reputation for being good at something other units go to them for training. It is not paperwork and requests it is a phone call and date and time.

It is a handshake and a nod of we will see you there. That is what makes them better than any military in the world their adaptive learning addiction and unwillingness to stop trying to save their nation.

When you talk to Ukraine warriors they want a free Ukraine, they want a free Ukraine for their grandchildren to not have to fight. For them they want this to be the last war, the last time Russia decided to invade so they work and live for this goal. They fight and sometimes even die for this one goal, “So my grandchildren don’t have to go to war.”

In America we don’t have this freedom in our military, we do not have this adaptive skill past elite operators who thrive and hone themselves to be multi-tasking badasses.

There are many units and many battalions in Ukraine I do not know and have never heard of. In my battalion and in my unit we believe adaptive skills will win this war, we believe in nerd power and fire power combined.

Are you a medic, great learn to be a rifleman, oh you can shoot great learn to shoot RPGs and machine guns as well.

It is not about who you are or what you have done in Arey, it is about what you are learning and can you teach it once you are done.

Not everyone thrives in that environment, but many of us do. It is our best life everyday in Ukraine, even if someone is old enough to be your mama.
