Please follow the illegal violation of Ukraine by Russia by faux rescuing Donetsk from a faux Ukrainian invasion. Follow @AricToler
who is dishing data on the fuckery that precedes the fuckery and @Archer83Able
is providing regular updates. Toss up more.
Lots of Ukraine focused experts showing how the Russian media is playing this to the home team. "Attack on a pipeline" is also in the mix. Putin has no shame and later will deny all this. Biden has a wide range of tools at his disposal. #StrippingPsyops
BTW I now realize I was right on the money Go Day was the 16. The tricky bastards. meduza.io/en/news/2022/0…
Already up on the front page of the most read publication in the world. BUT labeled as a false flag operation. Good work. dailymail.co.uk/ushome/index.h…
The tabloids can always be counted on to take one for the team. New York Post repeats the Daily Mail narrative. Again good work. The false flag narrative is being set. Putin is pissed. nypost.com/2022/02/18/ukr…
Might be worth noting for history that neither the Daily Mail or the Post have any hard evidence of a "false flag" operation but chose to tag it Biden's narrative mostly cuz Vlad's a nasty little shit. Your move Russia.
Good to know that the official twitter feed of Ukraine is completely useless and lost in space. twitter.com/Ukraine
All the appropriate hashtags will soon be cluttered up with spammers. Soon South Korean boy bands with be hashtagging #UkraineConflict This is where Twitter stumbles. Editors are a real and necessary thing.
And the White House is calling the play. I think we all hoped Putin would try to bite off a bit more of Ukraine. But he fronted and found out no one would actually stop him. nytimes.com/live/2022/02/1…

Good analysis of Russian intentions in Crimea. Unless it’s all a stunt. General Schwartzkopf fooled Saddam with massive armor buildups that feinted. timesofisrael.com/israeli-satell…
"in order to attack a position, you should have a ratio of approximately 3 to 1 in favor of the attacker.. to attack a position that is heavily dug in and barricaded, such as the one we had here, you should have a ratio of 5 to 1"washingtonpost.com/archive/politi…
"Russia has staged around 1,200 tanks for a possible invasion of Ukraine. That’s roughly 300 more tanks than the Ukrainian army has in its entire active force." forbes.com/sites/davidaxe…
It's an interesting story about a hard proof of corruption in Turkey and and the effect of the Sedat Peker tapes organized by the UAE via Dahlan. His yacht was seized in Beirut. Now UAE is besties with Erdogan. Coincidence? I think not. bianet.org/english/politi…

I'm going off the rails on a crazy train" motherjones.com/politics/2022/…
"When former Lieutenant General Michael Flynn retired from his position as head of the Defense Intelligence Agency in 2014, he was hailed as “the best intelligence officer of the past 20 years.” nymag.com/intelligencer/…
"Mnuchin is listed as the official state point of contact for Next Management Corporation, a company formed in 1988 by modeling-industry insiders Jean-Luc Brunel" thedailybeast.com/steven-mnuchin…

"That leads on to another important argument: our own responsibility. Galeotti, like other commentators, stresses the need for increased public awareness and resilience, for mounting a counterattack to authoritarianism and false narratives." engelsbergideas.com/books/do-we-re…
"Russia denies any plans to attack; "We can’t rebut all fabrications, the number of which is growing exponentially and is produced by enemy propaganda during these tough days,” Zaluzhnyi said." news.yahoo.com/ukraines-volat…
Russia is reversing the narrative, playing the victim, being attacked by "Anglo Saxons" which is kinda cute in a Monty Python way. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…
Twitter assumes that because I don't follow things or people that I must be new to Twitter. I am comfortable in my own constructed algorithm, thanks. I will find you if you are interesting, productive, entertaining or intelligent (or hopefully all four)
Despite the half a billion tweets generated each day. there is surprising little good content on the first person content I like. Cats on Roombas and Korean Boy Bands are killing this news tool. blog.hootsuite.com/twitter-algori…
On Facebook I had a normal account with a 10K limit. I would hold Thunderdome to see who I could insult to leave to let new people in. Some fans politely volunteered to leave to make room for others. I felt so cruel and sad. I allowed one village idiot. For entertainment only.
