WHY UKRAINE DOESN'T USE US MISSILE TO STRIKE INTO RUSSIA WITHOUT US APPROVAL >>
Many supporters of Ukraine have asked me why Ukraine doesn't do this, essentially getting approval 'after the fact'.
There's a simple reason for this - we CAN'T.
BOTH ATACMS and Britain's Storm Shadow missiles use inertial and satellite navigation, as well as TERCOM (Terrain Contour Matching).
The PROBLEM is that TERCOM requires detailed topographical maps, which are owned and controlled by the United States.
Without this data, TERCOM cannot function, and the accuracy of the missile considerably impaired.
REMEMBER THAT UKRAINE IS GIVEN THESE MISSILES IN LIMITED STOCKS ANYWAY - we cannot AFFORD for them to miss their targets.

You note that BOTH ATACMS and Britain's Storm Shadow use the Terrain Contour Guidance system...
...Thus, the United State is effectively blocking NOT ONLY the use of ATACMS, BUT ALSO the British STORM SHADOW, which the British government has repeatedly stated it is willing to allow Ukraine to use for strikes into russia.
Make no mistake, this policy of the United States WILL GIVE VICTORY IN THIS WAR TO RUSSIA.

This is why I believe we ultimately need to leave this platform. Thereโs no point arguing when the system is rigged one-way.
At this point our presence here just funds them by using us to sell ads.

@aidefranceukr@FCulmann@kajakallas@SebLecornu@EmmanuelMignot2 Itโs good to see someone with authority finally say out loud what weโve been saying for a while.
Being dependent on (mostly) the US for permission and additional ammunition is a big risk if allies arenโt trustworthy.
But above all it just makes economic sense in the long run!
@olddog100ua @FlogginFella These people need to realize there will probably never be a better time to get rid of russian occupation than now.
russia looks in control but thatโs probably just a thin veneer and canโt afford to send any sustained resources to quell any organized resistance due to the war.
@DrewPavlou Nah, it makes sense if you include the right context.
Japan is not russia friendly thus a strong Japan is not in russia's interests. Tulsi is a russian asset.
ergo: "Tulsi does not want a strong Japan"
@Rami03416825 @StandSure8 @Marston1889 It's the scenario russia needs to take into account once Ukraine proves they have some level of nuclear capability.
Nuke are a deterrent, you can't use them. If they do russia would nuke Kyiv in retaliation.
This puts them on par with russia and negates its nuclear blackmail.
@P_Kallioniemi Iโm torn.
On one hand us staying helps support Elon to use this platform to continue spreading his propaganda but we provide some counterweight.
Us leaving lowers its marketing value and thus increases cost, but leaves them free reign and deprives allies from support.
Hulp gevraagd!

Swedish tracked armored personnel carriers PBV 302 are already in service with the Ukrainian Defenders.
As the Warriors themselves say, thanks to its technical characteristics, the armored vehicle can move on difficult off-road terrain, soft and loose soils, particularly in swamps and sands, as well as overcome water obstacles.
The PBV 302 can carry up to 11 people, including crew, and can reach speeds of up to 65 km/h.
Sweden will transfer more than 200 of these vehicles from its stockpile.
Thank you, Sweden! ๐ธ๐ช๐บ๐ฆ
@Michael95474028@smartereveryday@elonmusk Elon is part of the problem unfortunately.
Since he bought Twitter bots & their disinformation have skyrocketed and he got rid of the ability to access data via api so we could trace this sort of activity.
And yes, itโs intentional.
In today's #vatniksoup, I'll introduce a South African-American(!) businessman and social media figure, Elon Musk (@elonmusk). He's best-known for being the wealthiest man in the world, running Tesla Inc., SpaceX & Twitter, and for parroting Kremlin's propaganda narratives.
