A tweet thread on why we are almost certainly overestimating the amount of strength the Russian Army has on hand, and the amount they can actually get to Ukraine when their first force losses get so high that it starts becoming combat ineffective. Yes, its logistics. @BoringWar
“On TV they say, we are liberating Kiev!” – mom of captured RU soldier doesn’t believe him, when he says Russians are attacking cities & bomb civilians. “Do smth, mom!Ask to stop the war!” – “What can I do? Militaries are deciding”. Putin made moms doubt their children
Read this very personal and thoughtful piece by one of Ukraine's best political journalists and someone I'm lucky to call a great friend, @berdynskykh_k. https://t.co/gj9bkRX6HX
The power of propaganda: A Ukrainian woman under siege in Kharkiv can't get her mother to believe that the Russians are bombarding her city

дорогие россияне пожалуйста не называйте врагом страну которая предлагает помощь и амнистию за ваши военные преступления
называйте врагом страну которая оценивает вашу жизнь в 11 тысяч сука рублей
It seems that Putin was overconfident and has bit off more than his surprisingly blundering army could chew. Ukrainian restance is tougher and the Western position is hardening, most notably Germany's. Frustrated, he draws the nuclear card. Smells of Khrustchev...
We got a million dumb as fuck takes about how keeping the door open to membership of NATO or the EU "poked the bear".
Where are all the "poking the bear" articles about how NATO was slumbering away peacefully until Putin decided to poke it so hard even the Germans woke up?
Буде вам за Голодомор, за Розстріляне Відродження, за Емський і Валуєвський, за скасування Гетьманщини, за Січових Стрільців, за УНР, за ОУН-УПА, за Ілловайськ, за Луганськ і Донецьк. Замість бліцкрига буде глибоке засвоєння історії України.
It is a fantasy that Russians will revolt, the Putin regime will crumble, or that "deescalation" is possible. Listen to what Ukrainians and other front-line nations say: the only way to end the war is to defeat the Moscow empire and liberate all the occupied territories.
