BUT I have a second thought about these 10 in the #PutinCaucus
A name I am curiously following was conspicuous in its absense. Remember the three 'R Congressmen' that Trump ratted out to DOJ that were plotting to overturn the election, before Jan 6th? These 3 assholes?
This was a House vote so the corrupt Senator from Wisconsin, Johnson vote was not counted here
Pennsylvania's own traitor, Perry voted for Putin
But where is Gym Jordan?
Oh, did you spot it? Gym was NOT joining the vote for genocide...
We know the chairman of the American Gargoyle Association, Gosar was involved also in planning of Jan 6th
So of the 3 House members who planned Jan 6th, Gosar & Perry were voting for Putin. But of Jan 6th planners, Gym Jordan did not vote for Putin... fascinating
I told you for the Grand #Flippathon there will be very few precious plea bargain deals with DOJ. And I expected ONE House member to get a deal (and still go to prison for a long time)
One of Perry, Gosar or Jordan will be smartest & snatch that deal, flip, & rat the others out.
It is very early to make a prediction, but Gym Jordan's vote on Lend Lease would be consistent with a break from Rep Perry and Rep Gosar. And if Gym was the first one to flip out of the Jan 6th traitors inside Congress, this behavior would be consistent with a flip.
We'll see

As Putin's invasion war into Ukraine has passed 2 months, the fog of war is lifting somewhat. We can make a preliminary calculation of the monetary cost to Russia of this war (beyond lives & injuries, military & civilian)
Let's do some math, shall we?
Russia War Costs Thread 2/
We have several tidbits of info, daily military equipment losses like this chart published by Kyiv Independent. Some of those numbers at times confirmed or similar numbers come out from Russia (rapidly deleted). I trust these are close to truth
Russia War Costs Thread 3/
There have been many supportive calculations such as a regular update of visually confirmed losses out of photographs & video. And separately, various sources calculated totals, and Forbes calculated costs of various equipment losses such as this chart
LOL I was wondering why suddenly so many people were commenting on my old Tweets about Russian tanks having their turrets blown off, some hours ago. Seems CNN apparently ran a 'breaking' story about Jack In The Box flaw in Russian tanks
THAT IS NOT BREAKING NEWS, idiots at CNN !
It is not 'breaking news' that Russian tanks T 90, T 80 and T 72 have a 'jack in the box' design flaw, that they are vulnerable to catastrophic failure where their whole turret flies off
THIS IS A KNOWN FLAW. Every tanker in EVERY ARMY knows this. It has been so for FOUR DECADES
Hey moron incompetents at CNN. Do not list as 'breaking news' a design fault that was reported on by YOUR NETWORK in the 1991 gulf war, damn! That was over three DECADES ago! You guys are incompetent! Damned 'breaking' news from decades ago? IDIOTS !!!!
And to be clear. Criminal prosecution of all who plotted biggest criminal conspiracy in US history (Jan 6th) is conducted at DOJ, in secrecy, and at enormous resources & proficiently under Attorney General Merrick Garland. They are systematically flipping criminals layer by layer
The CRIMINAL prosecution of Jan 6th organizers has NOTHING to do with Congressional Jan 6th hearings. Garland & DOJ have achieved confessions & flips of leaders in 2 key groups of violent organizers (Proud Boys, Oath Keepers) and will take every organizer into prison incl Trump
The way a criminal prosecution of a mafia boss is done, is you start from bottom & get some to flip on their bosses, then get those bosses to flip on their bosses, on up, until mafia boss (in case of Jan 6th, Trump himself) is caught & then convicted.
On the artillery. Russian ie Soviet heavy artillery is in 152mm calibre (internal diameter of the gun barrel ie size of its ammunition) so is a 6 inch gun. Western 6 inch guns are 155mm calibre, so rounds do not fit
Ukraine army had 152mm artillery, which is why need 152mm ammo
That is why NATO has been sourcing all the 152mm ammo it can find, to send to Ukraine, and sending any 152mm artillery pieces too
But that ammo has been pretty much depleted now. Which is why West is providing 155mm artillery like this German Panzerhaubitze 2000 from Dutch army
The practical size limit of field artillery is 6 inch gun (152mm or 155mm) because the round it can fire, can still just barely be carried by one of the crew, like this man carrying a 155mm projectile. NOTE this needs 'propellant' part/s which also weigh the same, for ONE round

SRSLY, Tweeps. As I have visited Ukraine, studied the Putinist expansion plans since he became Prime Minister, and been fascinated (& scared) by Russian (or Soviet) desires to expand their empire, I 'knew' Transnistria, Odesa, Crimea, etc... the places & tactics made sense
But for most of you following my TW stream, you probably were struggling to find Ukraine on a map, and very likely didn't know which little bit of European geography was Moldova
When the war started, who knew which city, which battle would be decisive. Mariupol or Kyiv or Odesa
At the time when the control of Odesa was decided, I did tell you about battle of Mykolaiv, and its relevance in the Southern sector, but we were still fearful Kyiv itself might fall, and barely paid attention to Odesa. We heard of horrors of Mariupol..
