Proudly, judiciously, sometimes inappropriately unextreme. Learning to TIG weld, do bodywork, and woodworking for fun. And so I can work on home/cars better...

This is the most inspiring photo I've seen in quite some time.

"I dedicate this to those athletes who cannot come here because Russia killed them."

Olga Kharlan wins Ukraine's first Olympic medal.

Last year, Olga was unfairly disqualified for her principled stance, refusing to shake hands with a Russian athlete supporting the war 1/

@luisgr1783 @EgoChris @MarioNawfal Oh! A choice!
Do "guys press-ganged into service against their will" count as protestors? (I would certainly protest loudly.)
Putin has been putting 20-30,000 of his own citizens in body bags EVERY MONTH for a few years now...
If the Dems had had the bottle to sort that out...

@TheDeadDistrict Pick a lane, buddy!

[Cornelius Murphy @captcjm]

@Defence_Index Quick check:
Draw a North/South line through 51°36'35"E.
Does it pass thru Bahrain? Nope.
Is there anything like this along that line in Qatar? Nope.
Same with a 50°36'35"E line (which does pass thru Bahrain.)
Blurred latitude (on purpose?)
Fabrication.

Worrying world developments!
Think Canada, Austria, Poland & listen to podcasts #404-410 and especially #530.

Don: (Psst. Vlad, UKR is yours if you attack Canada's Arctic.)
Vlad: (It's a deal!) <attacks>
Don: Oh Canada! We'll defend you as our 51st...

@karol_mazur6 @Combat_Files Possibly the first is the sonic from water transmission. The second would have been the sound via air transmission. Being far away, I figured it would take a long time for the sound to arrive.

I remember horsing around, patrolling, and playing ball hockey with Dennis Brown. RIP Brownie.

@moodystarbuck @carolecadwalla True.
All they really knew was what they were voting against.
Dems need to reflect on that.

@timdavies_uk @ThreshedThought Why bother with bases when you can quietly and completely infiltrate, subvert, and eventually control for peanuts?

[Mike Martin MP 🔸 @ThreshedThought]

Look at this.

1) Russian invasion of Ukraine
2) Russia throwing elections in Georgia
3) Russia interfering in Moldova referendum
4) Wagner in Sudan / Central African Republic
5) Wagner in Mali and wider Sahel
6) Russian submarine and naval activity off west coast of Ireland (and Iceland gap)
7) Russia in Syria

@betelgeuse1922 He's allowed your country to glimpse the simmering discontent that boils over when the smart get smug - as a class. Lucky for you, it is now visible and you can work on solving this problem. Remember: 50% fall below 100 IQ. Don't get cocktail.

as a former MI guy, i never thought i would see poison gas openly used on a battlefield in my lifetime...

hitler did not use it
sadam did not use it....

but putin is allowing it.

[MFA of Ukraine 🇺🇦 @MFA_Ukraine]

Russia attacked a residential building in Sumy with drones, killing 3 members of one family, including a girl who would have turned 15 in November.

Ukraine must have the capability to strike 🇷🇺 military logistics, airfields & troop bases to save the lives.

[Israel Defense Forces @IDF]

“Tonight, I am going to declassify intelligence on a site that we did not strike—where Hezbollah has millions of dollars in gold and cash—in Hassan Nasrallah’s bunker. Where is the bunker located? Directly under Al-Sahel Hospital in the heart of Beirut.”

Listen to IDF Spox. RAdm. Daniel Hagari as he exposes Hezbollah’s finance hub hidden underneath a hospital:

@koshercockney Zelenski takes top honors.
Hands down.

@CrowNips @wartranslated That's like saying the anvil hasn't been beaten into being a horseshoe lately.
And Kursk wasn't that long ago...

@118EightyFive @DevanaUkraine @officejjsmart It's propaganda.
There is massive capacity to fight off Russia.
Propaganda is Russia's way to prevent alignment of effort.

@RepublicansAga5 Imagine mid-level govt officialdom being filled with people who eagerly swallow these lies and act on them with measures they will inevitably determine to in accordance with be govt policy.
I really hope this doesn't happen...

@WendyAyres1 @Farleymarley16 @GlasnostGone Just spent a week visiting in Philly.
Not a word about Ukraine. Crickets. Not even a bumper sticker.
It's all about elections, hurricanes, and (to an extent) Isreal.
Ukraine doesn't seem to be even an afterthought.

[Cornelius Murphy @captcjm]

@secretsqrl123 Visited Philadelphia all last week. Didn't notice a single Ukrainian flag. Plenty of "we're so great" (BB-62, Independence Hall, etc.) but little else. People need to get more public about Ukrraine and the USA's role as a world leader.Before they're not.
