Why we need to #ArmUkraineNow :: daily thread #6
Tens of thousands estimated dead, far more under Russian boots and hundreds in bunkers being bombed in #Mariupol, unreachable because Ukraine doesn’t have the firepower to rescue them.

We should have two months ago, but...
#ArmUkraineNow /2
The purpose here isn't to document daily horrors, but a reminder to direct our collective frustrations toward pressuring our representatives to do the right thing, so Ukrainian lives stop being ruined & cut short.

THAT's why we need to...
#ArmUkraineNow /3
Why do we need to #ArmUkraineNow? Because 17 year old girls shouldn't have to... live, for fours days, next to...

THE DEAD BODIES OF THEIR MOTHER & SISTER, AFTER WATCHING. THEM. RAPED. TO. DEATH.

I can't believe some of the things I've had to write the last two months.
Case in point... yet ANOTHER hospital has been destroyed.

Excellent. Weeks late, but the Brits now appear to be genuinely trying to catch up in doing their part.
#ArmUkraineNow /6
Ukraine will never give up. They're just terribly outgunned.

How quickly and extensively the Free World decides to #armUkraine is the variable that will determine how many die.
#ArmUkraineNow /7
Unforgivable, Germany...
#ArmUkraineNow /8
The horror.

Why we need to #ArmUkraineNow /9
So do I.
Why we need to #ArmUkraineNow /10
Remember how people six weeks ago saying we'd already done all we could with #sanctions against Russia?
/11
This is happening... and isn't above the fold on every newspaper in the world?
Why we need to #ArmUkraineNow /12
#Kharkiv burns, while German chancellor Scholz fiddles.

True, and once Ukraine gets the heavy weapons it needs to stop Russia, we need to help them rebuild #Mariupol as the de facto capital of the free world.
#ArmUkraineNow
Over a month ago, president @ZelenskyyUa proposed a 'Union of Responsible Countries', that would more quickly respond to the defensive needs of nations under attack.

Nothing would benefit global security more.
@ZelenskyyUa Zelenskyy's alliance against fascism has already informally begun to come together, between #Ukraine and her closest allies in the Baltic States central Europe.

Legendary guitarist @Slash supports the Ukrainian struggle for freedom, and the need to #ArmUkraineNow

This reminded me of one of the best anti-war/hate/greed songs (and one of the best guitar solos) of all time 🤟

Before Axl starts singing, the song starts with a audio clip from the classic movie 'Cool Hand Luke'. The second line may remind you of a someone:

"What we've got here is... failure to communicate.
Some men, you just can't reach."
Look at your young men fighting.
Look at your women crying.
Look at your your young men dying,
the way they've always done before.

At least six weeks slow, but finally starting to ramp. Heavy artillery like this is one of the things they need the most.
#ArmUkraineNow
Problem remains: these are vulnerable w/o air cover, & the recent delivery of Mig spare parts isn't even close to enough.

What could be: more planes & air-to-air capable drones (like Predators, Bayraktars arnt), w the vehicle mounted Starstreaks they're getting from the Brits.
Predators aren't the only drones capable of that, but they're the best example because there are a couple hundred of them that have been retired from active service in the US military, dozens of which could be gifted, lent, leased or sold right now.
