È MORALMENTE E/O STRATEGICAMENTE GIUSTO CONTINUARE A PERCORRERE LA VIA DETTATA DA #WASHINGTON NELLA GUERRA IN #UCRAINA?

La strategia ufficiale di #Washington, accettata acriticamente da #NATO, #UE e liberali italiani filo-USA,

1) Image
è basata principalmente sul fatto che dando sempre più armi all'#Ucraina si potranno avverare separatamente e singolarmente queste macro opzioni:

• Si riuscirà a riconquistare tutti i territori occupati dai russi (#Crimea compresa!);

2)
• Si indurrà, col tempo (quanto tempo? Giorni? Mesi? Anni?), #Putin ad una trattativa di pace che sia favorevole all'#Ucraina;

• Si determinerà un cambio di regime in #Russia tale per cui si potrà giungere ad una trattativa di pace favorevole per l'#Ucraina.

Why Olympic Athletes Should Take a Stand Against Russian Participation in the Paris 2024 Olympics 1/16
The Olympic Games are a symbol of international unity and peace, bringing athletes from all corners of the world together to compete in a spirit of camaraderie and sportsmanship. 2/16
But what happens when politics intrude on the games, and a country with a questionable track record on human rights and fair play, a country that is waging war condemned by the UN is allowed to participate? 3/16

From Doping to Display: How Russia Weaponizes Sports and the Olympics for Propaganda Purposes

Russia’s use of sports and the Olympics as propaganda tools has become increasingly evident in recent years. 1/12
One of the most prominent examples of Russia’s weaponization of sports is the country’s state-sponsored doping program, which was implemented to provide its athletes with performance-enhancing drugs and then concealed from international authorities. 2/12
In 2019, the World Anti-Doping Agency banned Russia from participating in international sports competitions for four years as a result of this program. 3/12

#BREAKING | #Russian Defense Ministry: #US used 300 tonnes of depleted uranium during the invasion of #Iraq.

#Russia
Russian Defense Ministry: In 2003-2004, the United States widely used such ammunition in attacks on the targets of Iraqi cities: Amarah, #Baghdad, Basra, Karbala, and #Fallujah.
Russian Defense Ministry: The radiation due to depleted uranium in Fallujah was much worse than it was in the cities of #Hiroshima and #Nagasaki.

🧵The closer we get to US Presidential primaries the more we hear voices in various outlets advocating that we end our support for #Ukraine, and even leave #Europe altogether. The argument is that we focus instead on #Asia, as #China poses the greatest threat to US security. 1/6
Some of those pieces are analytical, others veer into partisan screeds. But they all share two assumptions in common: that 1.our support for #Ukraine is a distraction from the real threat, and 2. that we lack sufficient resources to engage both in the Atlantic and the Pacific.2/6
This argument fundamentally misreads our geopolitics. The United States is a quintessentially maritime power-an island on a continental scale. We have the maintenance of the Navy written into our Constitution. Access to the World Ocean has historically nurtured our prosperity.3/6

Welcome to Day 394 of the war - exactly 13 months since #Russia began its illegal full invasion.

Here's the daily news thread for Friday.
Thursday was quiet and one of the shorter threads - catch up here:

Things are hotting up in #Russia - and not only with the end of winter.

There's been a definite uptick in #RussiaOnFire stories in the last two weeks and some interesting places are becoming victims of 'careless smokers'.

Today I have for you videos from near #Yekaterinburg

This is in #Aramil, in Sverdlovsk region.

The #RussiaOnFire building is the research and production complex. This plant actively works for #Russia's Defence sector.

#Prigozhin also denied the #Kremlin’s claims that #Russia is fighting #NATO in #Ukraine and questioned whether there are actually Nazis in Ukraine as the Kremlin constantly claims. isw.pub/UkrWar032323
2/ #Prigozhin stated that #Russia is fighting “exclusively with #Ukrainians” who are equipped with #NATO-provided equipment and some “russophobic” mercenaries who voluntarily support #Ukraine - but not NATO itself.
3/ #Prigozhin also noted that #Russian officials most likely knew that #NATO would offer #Ukraine military aid, because “it is ridiculous to think that when [#Russia] decided to conduct this special military operation it did not account for NATO’s help to Ukraine.”

1/ Na 🇷🇺 TG prawdziwą furorę zrobił wpis "Rosyjskiego inżyniera", w którym napisał, że Ukraińcy wykupili w Chinach rynek części do dronów FPV.

Autor pisze, że 🇺🇦 będą w stanie z nich złożyć od 50 do nawet 100 tysięcy dronów.

2/ Rosjanin przytacza perspektywę, która przewija się również i u nas. A mianowicie, Ukraińcy muszą przeprowadzić ofensywę i osiągnąć sukces do jesieni tego roku.

Jednym z głównych elementów działań ofensywnych mają być właśnie drony.

🇷🇺 podaje, że 🇺🇦 przeszkolili już ponad 1000 operatorów dronów FPV.

Recently, @CITeam_en documented #Russia pulling ancient T54/55 tanks from storage and potentially moving them to the frontline in the #UkraineRussiaWar.

Some, like @RyanMcbeth, have suggested the T54/55s could substitute artillery.

My thoughts plus a twist at the end🧵 Image
What does using a tank in an indirect-fire role rather than a direct-fire role mean?

The idea: tanks don't fire at targets they can see in a relatively flat arc (as they were designed).

Instead, they fire at targets they don't see, at a steep angle (like howitzers). Image
And Tanks do that!

For example, Russia has been experimenting with using T-90s for indirect fire in 2018 (via: @pmakela1): function.mil.ru/news_page/coun…

And Ukraine has been doing the same in Donbas (via @RUSI_org): rusi.org/explore-our-re…
