Handy Ukraine conflict map from The Centre For Information Resilience. Trustworthy OSINT sources are forming an opinion that Russian forces are moving to encircle urban areas but under pressure from various setbacks. maphub.net/Cen4infoRes/ru…
@bellingcat is trying to keep up with the flood of random imagery by creating a spreadsheet but they are four days behind. @oryxspioenkop is hustling to compile a list of destroyed equipment. @liashko_viktor is using FB for official Ukraine casualties oryxspioenkop.com/2022/02/attack…
@bellingcat @oryxspioenkop @liashko_viktor These maps geolocate social media and show source. liveuamap.com/en/2022/26-feb…
@bellingcat @oryxspioenkop @liashko_viktor The Guardian has very clean and explanatory maps of the conflict including location of Russian forces in Kyiv. theguardian.com/world/2022/feb…
@bellingcat @oryxspioenkop @liashko_viktor Back before Google. Folks like me had to use lots of words to describe what it was like being inside a city while the Russian's destroyed it. So I wrote a whole book. This NYTimes piece did a pretty good job with just two photos.
@bellingcat @oryxspioenkop @liashko_viktor There are also collections of videos on YouTube, Some of shredded Russians... again not much actual combat footage. A surprising amount of social media footage is filmed from apartment windows. Not this. youtube.com/channel/UCmgzM…
We are at the point where if you search for "convoy destroyed" you will get your fill of the destruction being done to Russian columns. I don't know if they are using the old rebel trick of hiring the first and last vehicle but there are a lot of dead vehicles and Russians.

Kurt Vonnegut was part of era of American writers forged by the horror of World War II. Vonnegut chose quirky humor and plain speaking to tell stories but above all he was passionate about writing. This doc, his story is definitely worth a watch. vonnegutmovie.com
Director Robert B. Weide (Curb Your Enthusiasm) inserts his friendship and life into the film. We realize that this is not a work of dispassionate observation and analysis but it works. It is depressing how few of Vonneguts appearances and speeches can be found online.
In the interviews available on line, Vonnegut is candid and entertaining. But the doc's discovery of hundreds of old films and interviews in the doc shows us America doesn't really preserve and honor their cultural icons well.

"just like that, without any sanctions," "out of spite." , "this must be responded to in a quite symmetric manner."Like the E...and a number of singing-along states of the Anglo-Saxon world that will take part in this," he said on his VK page Saturday." tass.com/politics/14119…
Sing-along states celebrating after four days of frustrating the desires of carnal desires of VladPutin. Ra Ra Vlad Putin... Russia's smallest war machine.
A rich vein of humor and dance moves.

Tucker Carlson, Mike Pompeo...the ususal suspects. In Russian. snopes.com/fact-check/tuc…
Luckily GOP hopefuls have done their sentiment analysis and pivoted. Apparently they were tough on Russia.Mike even saw Soviet tanks on TV. Reaganesque is the new old mantra. wesh.com/article/pompeo…

That moment when survival and freedom depends on individual efforts. The war in Ukraine being taken up by citizens might be single most unifying event for Americans. washingtonpost.com/world/2022/02/…
The American militia movement began as an armed force against outside forces and then was led astray. Good paper on the US Militia movement: scholarworks.calstate.edu/downloads/x346…
One missing historical link in the current Ukraine conflict are the modern version of our WW2 era "Jedburgh's". Men and women dropped in behind enemy lines to support, coordinate and train resistance forces. Ukraine is at that point of need.
