So yesterday was a really bad day for Russia. The number of smoking accidents hit a new high and Roscosmos is rapidly becoming the biggest employer of Russian veterans, though admittedly it's just piece work, a piece over here, some pieces over there, a bunch of pieces way up

there... Russian depots, command centers and airfields are all about to be added to the #ICUN Redlist. I jest, sorry to the World Conservation Congress you guys are fighting the hard fight to save animal life and your red list is an invaluable tool. I can only imagine the horror

show being unleashed on the natural areas of Ukraine right now. Speaking of horrors... Video proof that Russia is using Zaporizhzhya NPP as a depot/hostage to protect assets from Ukrainian strikes.

Sadly they are also using the site to attempt to blackmail the world. This is creating another deportation crisis as people who live near the NPP try and flee.

Russia will only allow them to flee to Russia where they will be stripped of their identity and "filtered" and not everyone will make it out alive and most will be brutalized in some fashion: rape, beatings, robbed... Everyone and I mean everyone in that video is a person Russia

has decided hasn't been brutalized enough by its genocidal war. They are Ukrainians and are voices most of us will never get to hear thanks to #russiaisateroriststate. Although, nuclear terrorism is not a new thing for Putin in this war, it remains one of the biggest crimes.

He is not just threatening to kill Ukrainians, but to salt the very earth they call home so that there can never be more Ukrainians there. Russia must be defeated and sadly, anemic Europe is running out of steam. Most European weapons shipments have dried up. Decades of under

funding their militaries means most of them are out of kit now. Although nations like Poland and the UK did some real heavy lifting, the end of the rope has ben reached. Germany could do more, but wont and so it falls to the Arsenal of Democracy to once again equip the forces

fighting on the side of life to step up and make sure the arms and material keeps flowing. This is why support for Ukraine by @JohnBoozman @SenTomCotton and @RepFrenchHill is so important. Why the workers at LM and the other defense plants in Camden #Arkansas are such a critical

link in this war. It has now become a race as most wars of attrition do. I have previously reported that Russia is trying to mobilize its industry to support the war. How successful this will be remains to be seen but is actually secondary since Ukraine's efforts are aimed at the

depots and infrastructure needed to actually get what Russia has to where Russian troops actually are. #HIMARS is creating a virtual encirclement across the front as now depots in the Donbass are starting the transition process going from army to Roscosmos. if you thought

watching tank turrets fly was awesome, look at some of the depots going up... Speaking of popped tops it seems @MaxBlumenthal and @mtracey are upset because #WeAreNAFO is actively combating Russian dis-info efforts. They know where there goblininy bread is buttered and do not

appreciate that a bunch of people from all walks of life, lifestyles and political persuasions are running around meme dumping and shit posting on Russia (thier) efforts to end western support. Though to be fair, at least the Butter Goblin has a sense of humor and is right about

Liz Cheney. Thanks @DrBrainMD for the grab. Kidding aside, and although I think I am a far better writer than either of them, my voice is rather insignificant. I am just a #Fella in Arkansas. A much more important voice will usually be found coming from a Ukrainian. Today I

linked to @bayraktar_1love but there are so many. @MrKovalenko had some boom-boom videos yesterday and @Teoyaomiquu usually has some sort of update on his efforts to help his countrymen ward off hearing loss resulting from this prolonged artillery war. @katalina_ada has been

breaking my heart, the picture of the person's hand blown apart by a petal mine was bad enough, but she is highlighting Anton Tsimbal who was murdered by the Russians at Azovstal. So many Ukrainian voices gone, but his lives on through her and the people like her. I met her on

@MriyaReport a space that is dedicated to helping @MriyaAid raise funds to help Ukraine win on Ukraine's terms. The space also brings in big name speakers, subject matter experts and Ukrainians who have to live the war I am talking about. We all need to do something to help

Ukraine. Besides @MriyaAid I also support @georgian_legion and help combat Russian dis-info as a fella because #NAFOexpansion is non-negotiable though tomorrow's essay may be a bit short. I have an end of summer trip with the wife and kids to go to an aquarium. Arkansas offers a

a lot but a seashore has not been a thing here for a long time... My home was under the sea during the Paleozoic but since has been high and dry. Yet my kids need to feel a connection to the #Oceans. They are the engine that drives life on this planet and like Ukraine are under

threat because of naked greed and a desire to exploit. Hopefully they will learn something tomorrow that will ride with them and help them become good stewards of the natural #environment. God willing I will be back to these longer essays come Sunday.

Until Ukraine wins of Ukraine's terms Slava Ukraini! #RussiangenocideofUkrainians #NuclearTerrorism #NoVisasForrussians #UkraineWillWin @mfa_russia <--- still losing and no one wants your cancerous glow in the dark vision of the future.
