So my cat is in heat... She is yowling and can find no comfort because she is an indoor cat and all my other cats have girl bits. We don't let our cats outside because they are invasive non-native predators. Kind of like Russians. Sadly, no one keeps Kleptograd indoors, but

Ukraine is slowly but surely getting them fixed. I know on one level its a bad analogy, but on another it is not. Russia is an invasive non-native predator. Then again, Russia also seems to act like mud under pressure in a mine. Constantly seeping, looking for weak areas it can

squeeze through requiring constant work to contain it. This seems to be the situation near Donetsk where Russians may have taken an area near a coal mine's ventilation shaft. Constant steady pressure that only took them 5 months of bleeding to get.... Near Kharkiv the SVU's

remains successful and likely shoveled more Ukrainian territory free from Russian "mud" and of course there is Kherson. @isw is reporting Ukraine says it liberated 7 more settlements in that region and that Russia is planning on sending in its VDV to help stop the Ukrainians.

The VDV in particular is going to be ground to powder by this war and given their history of war crimes I think that is a real positive for humanity. Speaking of humanity, I need to issue a me culpa. As my readers know, I tag my congressional delegation

@JohnBoozman @SenTomCotton and @RepFrenchHill every day. Well I need to add a name to the list today. Yesterday, @AdamKinzinger declared himself a #Fellas and joined #WeAreNAFO which is awesome. Now to the mea culpa. Previously despite his bills to train Ukrainian pilots I did

not trust him and thought it was all show. I let my own domestic political assumptions get in the way of my previous promise to support any politician of either side of the aisle or whatever part of the whatever party they came from if the supported Ukraine. For what its worth

@AdamKinzinger you have my apology and support and I hope you will consider joining us at @MriyaReport as a guest speaker as I am very interested in what you have to say. You occupy a unique space in that you both have a voice on getting my tax dollars converted into the tools of

liberation for Ukraine and like me joining a grass roots movement to help Ukrainian defenders like @georgian_legion which is one of the three main outlets for my own giving. The other two being @MriyaAid and whatever @Teoyaomiquu current fundraiser is. In fact, Congressman if you

joined us on the space you might well get to talk to @Teoyaomiquu who is an Ukrainian veteran as well as other Ukrainians like @MrKovalenko @Heroiam_Slava @ferlain @OTorvaldson @katalina_ada and others who can give you a more personal and raw man-on-the-ground perspective of what

having an invasive Russian predator loose in your country looks like. I am sure if you are interested you can reach @BalticSnowTiger or @YAmzallagh or one of the other volunteer staffers that have kept the space running since the war started in what is now undoubtably the

longest running continuous conversation in human history. You would find yourself among great company both amongst our listeners and among the quest speakers we have hosted including @general_ben @WarintheFuture @AVindman and others. Too my readers, consider @AdamKinzinger as a

follow, I think what he has too say is important and I am perturbed my own blinders kept me away from his voice for too long. Until Ukraine Wins on Ukraine's terms, Slava Ukraini! #GenocideOfUkrainians #russiaisaterrorisstate #RussiaInvadedUkraine #feedthewolves #genocide

@mfa_russia <--- still losing

PS: I have two fixed and two fertile cats. Both my fixed cats struggle with obesity and this risks diabetes so its 6 of one, half dozen of another.
