Last night, Congressman @RepFrenchHill held one of his tele-townhalls. He does this several times a year to connect with his constituents and has done so for years. I immediately jumped in the que intending to ask him to pledge to continue supporting Ukraine, but I need not have
bothered. Ukraine and his efforts to support her came up within the first few minutes of his own "report" on what he has been doing. Although I have never before gotten picked to speak to the Congressman during one of these events, (calls are screened) I was question #2 further
proof that he considers Ukraine to be an important issue he wants to talk about. Since his support was already self-evidently rock solid, I switched my question to ask him if he would support declaring #russiaisateroriststate and thanked him on behalf of my friends in Ukraine.
He declined the terror designation saying he preferred ICC prosecution and talked about how he supported Ukraine and our own DOJ's efforts to gather evidence and refer cases. I can accept that, the perfect is the enemy of the good and I'll back a solid supporter everyday
of the week and twice on Sundays. So, to my Ukrainian friends: @MrKovalenko @Teoyaomiquu @Heroiam_Slava @katalina_ada @OTorvaldson your words are not falling on deaf ears, we are listening, I am acting. My senators having much bigger areas to cover do not do tele-townhalls but as
the need for more funding comes due, I will be calling their offices. @JohnBoozman and @SenTomCotton will hear from me in multiple media formats so that they know what I expect of them. That as Americans they oppose genocide. Those Ukranian voices I listed above, give them a
follow, listen to them, promote them. They and their families, friends and communities deserve to live, live in peace and live their best authentic lives. Russia says no to all three. They are doing the heavy lifting, and living the war everyday either on the front, or the
constant worry that artillery or a random missile strike will take someone they love. Our lift is much much lighter. Stay informed through spaces like @MriyaReport combat Russian Dis-info, use that knowledge and take back the social media spaces #WeAreNAFO , give to those doing
the heavy lifting through reputable charities like @MriyaAid or to the actual fighters like @georgian_legion and reach out to your elected leaders and tell them you support Ukraine and expect them too as well. Finally, when you can, whenever you can promote Ukrainian voices in
the spaces you inhabit. Be the bridge between them and those who do not know the truth about the evil Russia has unleashed on a democratic nation. On a people that did Russia no harm. Thier fight is our fight until Ukraine wins on Ukraine's terms. Slava Ukraini!

So, westerners willing to shill for Russia abound. Recently I discovered @naomiallen_usa who is advancing a narrative that it is Ukraine who is the real NAZI. Her thesis is centered on 4 points 1. The far right is state sponsored in Ukraine. 2. Aleksandr Dugin has been exiled
the centers of power in Kleptograd, 3. Wagner isn't real and that 4. Ukraine is the real aggressor. She is of course welcome to respond, but let's take her work apart seam by seam shall we?
1. she claims the far right is state sponsored in the Ukraine. This claim likely rests on the Azov battalion being made part of the regular Ukrainian military. As @brycewilsonAU has documented, yes AZOV had some extremists. No one is denying that. However, it is a stretch to use

Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA) is a term some of you might have heard of before. It is an event that changes the established way of doing things on the battlefield on its head. For example, the battle of Cambrai in WWI was the first massed armor attack in history. After the
war the Germans would improve on it by adding more mechanized infantry and flying artillery. The Americans would build on that by making the entire army motorized. So by 1945 we had system most of us grew up with. Big heavy fast divisions that fought with combined arms.
The Russians (Soviets) adopted this same revolution but with a twist. Where western formations stressed the maneuver for advantage, the Soviets stressed fires. They planned to attack "a outrance" and so kept a fires based army that Genghis Khan would have understood. Stay put and

So todays question for the audience; which is the bigger nihilistic force in the universe is it A: Russian perfidy or B: Russian stupidity? Why do I ask? Yesterday, Russia shelled Donetsk with thermite charges from grad rockets. The residents in that town are
(according to Russia) either Russians or almost Russians. So why shell your own people? False flag op? maybe, but then why use grads. Those falling thermite chunks indicate a general direction of the launcher because they maintain some of the forward momentum of the rocket that
fired them. So is Russia going to claim Ukrainian artillery is behind Donetsk? Or does Russia think the rest of the world is as stupid as she is? So, is it perfidy or stupidity? Given that it can only be one, the other or both but not something else that brings up the next

Wow the Russian minions are up in arms. From the absolute bat shit crazy reaction to the Fellas... claiming we are some sort of government funded psyop, to sell out westerners trying to turn genocide into comedy they have completely gone off the rails.

So I will break it down
The Fellas are not some super-secret blackop, we are normal people with normal lives and intact ethics who think that genocide is evil and the aggressor state (Russia) is to blame. We donate as we can to various causes to put our money where our mouth is, but just as importantly
we have decided to combat Russian dis-info and take back media spaces from Russia and her supporters. It is really that simple. Opposing genocide does not require deep thinking and a complex understanding of this or that issue, all it takes is a firmly rooted ethical and moral

So I talk a lot on twitter, and hopefully my voice is being heard. However, to my readers how many of you have Ukrainian voices in your feeds? I follow @OTorvaldson and @katalina_ada among others and of course Roman who was killed by the Russians because war kills.
This war specifically is killing Ukrainians, that's the whole point of it. Russia is not interested in peace, not interested in "protecting" Ukrainians despite all the false claims of brotherhood and being one people. This is a war of genocide to exterminate Ukraine as a free and
democratic society. Russia is even impressing Ukrainians into its own armed forces and making them fight, kill and be killed by their own countrymen. It's sickening and says everything you need to know about Kleptograd. While that says everything you need to know about that side

Hey, @Pendolino70S I saw your worry, so lets make it the message of the day. So, I woke up to your tag on this tweet about GOP support for Ukraine post mid-terms. I think the fear is mostly over-rated and here is why
1. Defense spending is almost as widely distributed as atmospheric oxygen molecules. Just about every member of both houses of congress has real bring home the bacon moments from the defense industry. This makes funding politically lucrative and mostly bipartisan.
2. Americans love an underdog and a democratic Ukraine fending off a rabid Russian bear is ticks all the right boxes to stir American passions.

3. long term incumbency means a lot of members of Congress get access to information that is more frank and more honest than what the
