1. I began reporting on the war against #Daesh in #Syria starting at the same time I began reporting on the #Russian invasion of #Ukraine. 2014. I covered #Kobane to #Baghuz in 2019. You cannot fight a war with a psychotic brutal enemy who does not follow the law of armed
2. conflict in a light way. You have to seek out and destroy the enemy. Best is while they are sleeping using artillery. The ones that remain alive, won't be sleeping and will become less able to conduct effective operations. HIMARS are great. But tube artillery is can be
3. terrifying. #Hit the HQ and ammo dumps with #GMLRS and then pour down tube artillery like a hail storm. That's what it took in Raqqa. The @USMC burned up their 155mm gun barrels. And with the SDF valor suffering huge casualties they finally crushed them
4. without a single American killed. But all the time Daesh was holding and killing hostages. You have to act. The Russians have moved into that level brutal criminality and speed in destroying the force before the atrocities can reach extreme levels must be given urgency.
5. Pour it on. Endlessly.

1. Earlier:
Just now, everyone who was at the headquarters of the Navy in Sevastopol received the command "Into the Shelter".
Employees and passers-by who were nearby lay down on the ground. After a few minutes, they allowed me to get up, everything was calm at the main entrance
2. I think they have be loading the Kilos with missiles in the harbor. We have a big sub base here. I know what competent ordinance storage looks like. I don't see anything like it on the overhead view of Sevastopol. I think they put serious ordinance in congested areas.
3. Here is where they dock the Kilos. They're in this harbor though I can't be sure of the births. Image

1. IMO the filing of #AlexJones’ media company bankruptcy stays the jury trial until and order modifying the stay enters. Here’s the emergency motion filed by the Free Speech Systems, LLC in SDTX Bankruptcy court. timinhonolulu.com/2022/07/30/1-i…
2 The motion seeks entry before 8:00 am Monday. Typically a hearing will be set early next week for what are termed "opening day motions." These motions seek orders to keep the debtor running and address issues like paying employees, using bank accounts, paying insurance
3. contracts and taxes. I don't know the local rules well enough to say what the local practice is and whether the opening day motion should be noticed, but I don't see it on the docket. This could be a ruse to delay the trial by

1. IMO Putin's two major strategic objectives are the shipyard at Mykolaiv and the water canal for Crimea. Everything else is secondary. He hasn't given up and I think will attack once the mines are cleared. I'm 75% certain. Both objectives are at risk of failure. Facing defeat
2. losing leaders often attempt one last major attack. The video today showed Russian armor heading into the area west of the Inhulets. Putin is a pretend military commander. He follows a script. But you need to be ready to act. The alternative to seizing
3. Mykolaiv is for Putin to destroy it and if that is what he has planned then he's accepted inevitable defeat. I think the dam locks at Nova Kakhovka can be destroyed that will shut off the water flow to Crimea when the reservoir drops too low to reach the canal.

1. Four #Russian #depots destroyed in the #Kherson region including one near Sea of Azov/Crimea. One depot is on the escape route for the large force east of the #IInhulets river, near where the Russians must reach to escape south across the #NovaKakhovka dam.
2. If I'm right about the hit at #Beryslav, the Ukrainians may have taken out the the logistics for the rear-guard for the forces engaged east of the Inhulets river. A large force consisting at a minimum of 205th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade; 11th Separate Assault Brigade
3. and the 126th Separate Coast Guard Brigade. This map was last updated 5 July. I admit I don't really know the sizes of Russian units that seem to vary widely and dwindled with the defeat north of Kyiv. But this map shows a Corps and two brigades.

1. One issue I'm pondering is when the Koch crew is in the grand jury and being questioned and a question is directed to the what #45 said or heard, who will raise the Executive privilege? Will #45 have to submit a log to the DOJ that says these areas are privileged and describe
2. them with sufficient detail to allow the court to rule just like other privilege assertions? The witness has to go in the room without an attorney so no attorney will be there to raise the privilege. So if my understanding is correct that some prior assertion has to be made,
3. perhaps after #45's attorney consults with the witnesses' counsel, won't there have to be a log or some writing where #45 has to describe the date and who was present and say "discussion of electors with x y and z." So the grand jury will know who was present and what they

1. I think it's a mistake for @January6thCmte to narrow its focus on the 25th Am when interviewing these witnesses. The mechanics of the 25th makes it unlikely that a POTUS resisting removal would be out for more than about 48 hours. Though in the emergency on Jan 6 that might
2. have seemed worth a try it would have also been a shock to the entire world with unpredictable consequences. What they need to focus on is what was the plan? Let's say that #45 did stop the count and through assassination of both Pence and Pelosi that IMO was the plan, #45
3. would still be POTUS for another 14 days when his term ends. That's the point the Committee needs to focus on when trying to understand the plan. It is possible that the House could elect a new Speaker but under the military enforced martial law contemplated by the coup, it
