Good morning everyone, you'll never guess what I woke up to! First lets set the stage. Remember how on Feb 24th the Russian's didn't bother to check a calendar, road map or with the Ukrainians if invading and committing genocide on them during winter was a good idea of not?

That level of hubris is the foundation on which will be built Ukrainian victory. Well, I woke up to some of that, "I am Russian I don't need to do any research hubris". I got accused on being a paid military bot/troll because I "only" post about Ukraine.

That little fish I gutted yesterday was back on the hook thinking he "found" a way to discredit me. Like a typical Russian he didn't bother to actually research his assumption and instead just blundered into an ambush to become the example two days in a row. Talk about bad

researching skills. So @GSadrang buckle up and hang on. First off, yes, I do post about Ukraine a lot. This war is what got me using an old and forgotten account I had created when Twitter was young. It was never really my thing so it kinda of just "existed". I started the

war with about 25 followers. It was the war that brought me back because since the time I created the account and the start of the war I had completely divorced myself from "opinion" news and come to distrust US media. I wanted info on Ukraine, Google searches kept showing

different tweets that were trending so I dusted off the old account. I found @MriyaReport at the time operating as the space of @walter_report in short order, listened for a couple of days and then came up to speak the first time. Therein lies the first example of your hubris.

had you checked a little more in-depth you would have seen just how often other fans of that space mention me. I don't know why anyone would want to listen to my admittedly nasally voice, but I like to talk and try to ask intelligent questions and opine where I think I have

something to add. Oh BTW, that space has always been dedicated to 3 things. A: helping fund raise for @MriyaAid so that Ukraine is better able to get what she needs to defend her children and keep them alive until they push the Orcs out of Ukraine. B: providing expert commentary

from SME's like @general_ben @AVindman etc. People who normally command fees to talk have donated hour upon hour to the space usually in a Q and A format. C: promoting Ukrainian voices. The space was where I met @MrKovalenko, @ferlain @Teoyaomiquu @OTorvaldson @Heroiam_Slava

@katalina_ada and others I now follow and support. This is where your second bit of hubris lies. Tens of thousands of people have been subjected to my nasally voice. One of if I was going to be paid, the ___ should have picked someone with a voice for radio like @YAmzallagh

who has a way better CV than I do. Yeah I am a vet, but I am also a recovering addict (17 years this past may). I wasn't a general, officer or even an NCO just a lowly enlisted DAT. Which brings up the final piece of your hubris. Why do I post so much? Because I care, because

Russia's invasion brought me back to twitter and showed me that for years I had been ignoring a tool I could have used for advocacy of things I care about. Had Russia simply decided to not be evil, we would never have met. Russia brought me here and my voice and reach has grown

organically because I am not the only one who cares. Ukraine has the support of the free world because what Russia is doing is straight up genocide in pursuit of imperial colonialism. The sheer horror of it is why #WeAreNAFO and the #Fellas even got started @Dr_F_Hunter donated

my fella to me in recognition that I was already a dedicated supporter of Ukraine who had given to Ukrainian charities and was dedicated to providing an essay a day where I would tag @JohnBoozman @SenTomCotton and @RepFrenchHill so they knew Ukraine had supporters in #Arkansas

So yeah, once Ukraine is free I will still be here but posting about other things I care about like #battletech #grandkids and wheeling in the #Ozarks but that day is not here yet. Until your masters in Kleptograd give up I have to keep doing what I can to #feedthewolves

of the @georgian_legion who BTW will be on @MriyaReport today. I can't stop until the killing stops because #Russisaterroriststate committing a #GenocideOfUkrainians So tell your masters that they stepped in it and that #UkraineWillWin because her cause is just and her troops are

superior, but also because the nobodies like me from every walk of life, community and political persuasion have set aside the differences that often divided us in order to #StandWithUkraine Slava Ukraini!
