@BohuslavskaKate Russians target and kill civilians because Russians are terrorists.
Ukraine defends herself by hitting Russian military and economic targets.
The difference speaks volumes. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

Life in Kyiv.
Recon drone, several hundred drones, or ballistic missile attack. We never know. Americans must stand & support this freedom-loving democratic nation or forever live in shame. Call your Cong. Reps now & consider who you're voting for in the fall.

[Rick N. Tumlinson @RocketRick]

In Kyiv - just outside of town.
First wave of attack finished.
Ground shook, even here,
As if thunder & earthquakes were one. We are probably safe. Many are not. Last weekend wad my first. This is worse.
The little boy is hitting cities all over Ukraine.

Slava Ukraini!
Screw Russia.
Screw the little boy.
And screw his puppets.
The "useful idiots" who have abandoned America's ideals
You know who I mean.

[Rick N. Tumlinson @RocketRick]

In Kyiv. Last time was 2017 when I was speaking tour here.
Such a great city. It will be the stuff of legends. How these people stood against evil.
Until the evil shattered on their walls.

The isolator helmet was a device invented by Hugo Gernsback in 1925 to help people concentrate and eliminate distractions. The helmet was made of wood and felt, and had three pieces of glass that allowed the wearer to see only a narrow slit in front of them.
The helmet also blocked out all sounds, and had a tube that supplied oxygen to the wearer. The idea was that by isolating the senses, the wearer could focus better on reading or writing.
However, the helmet also had some drawbacks, such as making the wearer drowsy after 15 minutes, and being very bulky and uncomfortable. Gernsback claimed that the helmet was 90-95% efficient in blocking out noise, but he only made 11 helmets and they disappeared by 1926. The isolator helmet was featured in Gernsback’s magazine Science and Invention, and later inspired other similar devices such as the Helmfon.

I love this plane.
Kind of like me, it ain't fancy, and it's certainly not beautiful.
But it outlasts its opponents, has fire power beyond its size, and when called into the fight, it gets the job done.
Lol!

U.S. Air Force A-10 Thunderbolt II’s receive fuel in-flight while supporting Operation Epic Fury. The A-10 Thunderbolt II can loiter for hours, standing by and ready to execute a mission whenever needed.

Nothing to do with anything but I love this!

.@SenatorSlotkin on Iran & Russia: "There's press reports that the Russians are helping target U.S. ships and aircraft… If Russia is helping to kill U.S. forces, we have crossed a Rubicon…We have to take decisive action on that, and instead, we're giving them breaks on oil."

Frank White gave astronauts the language to explain what they could not put into words.

He called it the Overview Effect.

Now it's our turn to send him to space so he can experience it directly, and you can fly alongside him.

This is so beautiful!

Ukrainian drones destroyed one of the largest oil hubs in southern Russia, the Tikhoretsk oil pumping station.

The facility serves as a major oil depot and transshipment terminal located in Russia’s Krasnodar region, through which large volumes of oil are transported.
