Thread B) so I ran out of room so this is part 2. I covered most of the bases in Thread A. Anywoos... Ukraine is on the attack and the Russians are trying to establish a narrative of defeat in order to bolster their own morale and degrade ours. So as has been since Feb 24 it is
up to us to counter it. Don't fall for the Russian claims and maintain opsec if you come into possession of information you can reasonably assume the Russians don't have yet. Ukrainian lives may depend on it. The goal of the war is not to "beat Russia" just to beat them, but to
to do our part to make sure as many Ukrainians as possible live to see victory. This means demanding more support from our politicians, countering Russian trolls trying to shape a pro-genocide narrative and donating as often as we can to efforts aimed at filling the gaps between
what Ukraine already has and what our governments give. Obviously by now you know that I support @MriyaAid as an excellent choice for your giving and that as a #Fella I am also supporting the @georgian_legion but there are a lot of ways to give. @Teoyaomiquu has started his
winter gear drive. Just find and outlet for your giving that you can trust and give. Countering the Russian trolls requires good information and there is no better resource than @MriyaReport so tune in and give them a follow. Until @DefenceU gives us an update, do not lose hope
if you see shitty Russian claims. We are part of the battle space. Stay strong until Ukraine wins on Ukraine's terms: Slava Ukraini! #GenocideOfUkrainians #UkraineWillWin #RussiaTerroristState @mfa_russia <--- still losing and no visas for Lavrov

So yesterday was a bad day for Russia. Ukraine continues to make gains in near Kherson and is across the Sieverski-Donets and Inhulets rivers which would be bad enough, but France also made things worse by announcing that she would restart all her nuclear plants. This should make
a net energy exporter. Maybe that is why Peskov is suddenly signaling that Kleptograd is ready to "talk". With 200k+ losses (kia,wia,mia, contract breakers, pow and deserters), the impending loss of its conquest crown jewel, sanctions leading to an industrial collapse things
have not been trending in the right direction for some time. The combination of Ukrainian gains and European energy relief heading into winter is very bad news. It's a pickle for which there is little hope of relief. First, Ukrainian fires dominance at the operational level means

Anyone else celebrate #NationalCinemaDay by taking the family to see #jaws3D? Movie going is something I rarely got to do as a kid. I grew up poor so I saw ET and then right before I went to MEPS my mom took me to see Hunt for Red October. It is nice having the resources to treat
my own family to the theater experience. My problems are all first world now. Such is life for most people in America. Oh, we argue about various issues but end of the day very few of us go to bed hungry, or scared of random missile strikes and most of us can be 99.99% certain
that our loved ones will make it home each day. Speaking of #jaws you have to go back to WWII and stories like that relayed by Quint about the sinking of the #USSIndianapolis to find an America where, "will they make it home" is a community wide fear. If only that were true for

Thread A) Good morning, sorry about whining yesterday, I was tired, uninspired and feeling like I was wasting my time. The response my pity party got was humbling. What shall we talk about today? I think perhaps a primer on the flow of an offensive battle might be in order.
After all we are starting to get flooded with stuff like this
As my long-term readers know, I predicted that Ukraine would not be launching massive tank thrusts like the US did to liberate Kuwait. Rather I said the Ukrainians would take a bite and hold approach where each success would help shape the next move because that approach fit

I'm tired guys, daily essays plus the grind of work, a wife going through menopause and a sick cat is all catching up with me. I'm not getting much interaction on here anymore with my essays which makes me think ya'll are bored with them. Should I stop writing them? I know trying
to hit all the bases every day gets tedious. Obligatory tag of @JohnBoozman, @SenTomCotton and @RepFrenchHill followed by pumping the @MriyaAid and the @georgian_legion with a reminder to visit @MriyaReport to stay informed... It's all pretty formulaic and at this point it is not
an easy task to come up with some new and interesting to write about. Especially as everyone is waiting for news out of Kherson. Do I branchout? I have avoided US domestic politics to keep this feed as a leave your personal politics at the door everyone who supports Ukraine

So reports are the IAEA has reached the NPP, but that Russia is also reporting that Ukrainian SOF tried to seize the plant likely as an excuse to explain away military assets inside the plant. I think Russia will go for a mix of Potemkin Village mixed with Wizard of Oz-ish don't
look behind the curtain. Obviously, Russia lies so hopefully the IAEA can get Ukrainian workers alone to receive messages or intel discreetly without endangering the plant workers who are already subject to rape, torture and murder. Then again, that is also an increasingly common
fate given the slip fall (out a window) death of Ravil Maganov VP of Lukoil. Regime losing its grip or ladder climbers making moves in unsettled times? Speaking of making moves, a Russian telegram channel asked people to report on Ukrainian movements. #WeAreNAFO spammed the F out

So yesterday saw a great man exit the world stage. Mikhail Gorbachev died at 91. Reactions have been mixed with a bit of hostility and accusations that us "westerners" just don't know the truth. Maybe, but lets dive into this a little bit. First I said he was a great man
This is not to mean he was good, effective, or grandiose. Rather its a historical tool to describe someone who changed the course of history through his actions. Before he came to power in the USSR the US and Soviets had reached their absolute nadir of relations. Able Archer is
perhaps the most dangerous moment of the Cold War era even more so than the Cuban Missile Crisis because a paranoid cliché ruled the USSR. Yet within just a couple of years of coming to power he and Ronald Reagan had managed to turn the downward spiral into one that was generally
