So this is likely to be one of the most important threads I have written. Right now, in Kleptograd, they are rejoicing and telling the half the trolls, useful idiots and bot farms to get into US spaces and yell, "Orange man bad". The other half are to yell, "witch hunt". Both
ultimately wanting to weaken the center and get the bright light of scrutiny off of Russian activities in Ukraine. Things in Ukraine are going to go from worse to hellish now that the global media is distracted by an FBI raid. It is up to us, to keep Ukraine and her epic fight
against genocidal evil alive in the public discourse. I don't care if you are Left or Right, I am asking you to stay out of the fray. It will play itself out no matter what we say or do. Instead, please stay focused on Ukraine. Now more than ever we have to be the bulwark that
Ukraine can rely on. Given that global media is going to be stuck on a single story for the foreseeable future a good source of information is as always @MriyaReport The space that only care about Ukraine, Ukrainian voices and topics that touch either in order to inform the
public, generate support for @MriyaAid and keep the cause of a free and liberated Ukraine alive. If you are #weareNAFO and a #Fellas it's going to be doubly important that you resist the siren call of US politics and stay focused on Ukraine. The @georgian_legion doesn't need fair
weather supporters but relies on a digital army of shiba inus to help it resist a genocide. Clarity of purpose, moral clarity and focus will get us through this. No person, not even Trump is worth taking your eyes off the ball. I will continue to tag my elected leadership
everyday so that @JohnBoozman @SenTomCotton @RepFrenchHill know that domestic politics aside, I care more about making sure an ongoing genocide is not allowed to culminate in a victory for evil. I will continue to promote Ukrainian voices like @Teoyaomiquu @katalina_ada @krides
@ferlain @BatemanOlya @OTorvaldson @Heroiam_Slava @MrKovalenko because what they have to say matters more than what some dude in Arkansas says most of the time. I am just a vehicle to be used to support Ukraine. When this war is over I will go back to my normal life driving truck
and dreaming about writing a sci-fi book. They however will have to live with and within whatever is left after Russia is defeated. Until that day, they have to live in fear, even those who have made it out of the war zone, still have those they love in it. Yesterday,
@BatemanOlya was talking about how her parents who live in a 9 story building are worried about how they will have any heat at all this winter because Russia is targeting the power grid. Imagine your own parents/grandparents trying to figure out how not to freeze to death while
also worried about missile strikes and the arrival of death squads if Russia captures your home town. How does anything else matter? So while we can't pretend that what happened last night in Florida didn't happen, we can put it into context.
For the love of all that is good and pure, for Ukraine please I beg you retweet this, tweet your own demands that the focus be on stopping a genocide. We have to drive the narrative, not be driven by it. Salva Ukraini!

So a bit about me, normally I wake up, do some quick doom scrolling, walk the dogs, make tea for the wife and then play some video games as I ruminate on what I will right today. A bit of a departure today. It seems my doom scrolling is stuck in ground hog day mode. All I have
seen upon waking for several days now is how unfair it is that Russians face a visa ban. The Russian government, rank and file Russians, talking heads etc. all moving in lock step: "its not fair, its collective punishment yada yada yada". Hooey, it is a pure garbage argument
because it is unfair, it is collective punishment and its deliberate. Russia is engaged in the worst form of collective punishment. Destroying an entire people. Genocide is at its root collective punishment imposed on entire peoples. Ditto smashing cities, kidnapping millions

Part 2 of allies (oops).

Perhaps that greatest example of this is the US and (not the UK lol) but Australia. If one goes, both go and it has been this way for over 100 years now. AUKUS is just the latest iteration of the most powerful set of allies the world has ever seen.
This is the kind of ally Putin wanted in Belarus. A strong even if militarily weak brother who would have his back. After all he was a strong ally to Lukashenko. But thats not how it turned out at all. Belarus it turns out is the third and most common type of ally. The weak one.
History is loaded with examples of allies who said all the right things, but when the chips were down found any number of reasons to be elsewhere doing other things. Just ask the Poles where the Western Allies were in 45. Thing is some weak allies simply never show up to be

Yesterday on @MriyaReport we all got to hear from @general_ben and if I understood him correctly, he is of a mind that Russia is stuck. Ukraine is growing stronger, Russia is at best treading water as she is caught in a rip tide pulling her farther and farther away from the
shores of victory. Then later in the day there were reports of an attack on a Belarussian air base/ air base used by Russia is Belarus? I might be wrong, but I don't think Ukraine wants to pick a fight to her north just as she is gaining momentum in the South. So to me this feels
like a false flag event. So why would Russia attack Belarus? I think we need to step in the time machine of history and go back a wee bit, and then perhaps back a whole lot farther. So to start off with I think Russia made four critical errors when she in invaded Ukraine on 24

So yesterday was exciting to say the least. A massive airbase in Crimea went boom. Was it ATACMs or Neptunes? As one infamous genocider said with all the nonsensical panache of a Russian ambassador, "what air defense doing"? Poor Geroman the Zerbiot did not have a good day.
An even worse day was had in Crimea. The really unlucky Russian's got toastified in one of the several explosions we saw. The less unlucky merely got stuck in traffic running for their lives. Russians are at heart cowards and seeing war come to them told them it was time to stop
cavorting on the beach and head for the hills deep inside Russia where neither scary Ukrainians nor Russian conscription commissars can find them. Back across the water and into occupied Ukraine, I saw a translation from a likely LNR/DNR slave soldier. It was very fatalistic and

Audience! Audience matters and often something you hear or read will have multiple audiences in mind in the way it is presented, framed or the story it tries to tell. So, a case study to illustrate what I am talking about. Recently the pro-orc side is claiming there is a leaked
document claiming that President Zelensky and his generals are on the out over strategy, that the Ukrainian Army has lost 191K casualties, and is down to 43-48% strength. Sounds really bad for Ukraine right? I mean, it sounds like Ukraine is about to fold like a sack....
Hog wash, that claim from a supposedly leaked document doesn't pass the smell test. Firstly, Russia has been over claiming since day one. I mean how many times do they need to destroy the Ukrainian air force before it stops flying? How many times do they need to report the

Yesterday I talked about evil, a couple of days ago I talked about moral clarity and boy howdy is there such an awesome example of the difference between the two to talk about today! So as most of my readers will know, yesterday @amnesty and @AgnesCallamard decided that it was
Ok to accuse Ukraine of being at fault for Russia's behavior. In particular they seem to have taken issue with the ZSU defending Ukraine's cities and civilians from Russian attacks. The utter stench from this cannot be masked. It's the equivalent of telling a rape victim that she
would not also have gotten beaten if she had just accepted the rape instead of trying to defend herself. Then it got worse, turns out @amnesty_UA begged for the article not to be run and the "know betters" not at risk of missile strikes, but very much at risk of being invited to
