@mtracey, to answer your question in a longer more conversational format, yes I do see some issues here. Ok if anyone wants to follow along his post is here.

1. The first major issue is of course that 7 months in, Zelensky still does not have all the arms he needs to make sure his nation can fight and win a war against imperial aggression in order to stop a #GenocideOfUkrainians

2. The second major issue, Russia is moving to annex territories that she herself vouchsafed multiple times. Other than the genocide this is the big issue. If Russia cannot be a reliable partner because she steadfastly adheres to her legal obligations then she is at best a rouge

state. 3. Putin's nuclear threats have moved us closer to Armageddon than any thing since the Cuban Missile Crisis. Now personally, I don't think Putin will pay heed to the warnings by Jake Sullivan. I think he is too isolated, too used to winning and too caught up in his own

propaganda about a holy mission to save Mother Russia. That leaves us with 4. President Zelensky's calls for Russia to be designated a state sponsor of terrorism. The big issue here is why is it taking so long? It won't manifestly affect the current sanctions regime against

Russia directly, but the knock on secondary sanctions against enablers like China and India could be very useful indeed. China depends on trade with the West and being forced to side with an imperial power agaisnt its own economic interests is unlikely to play well with Mohdi's

supporters. I know these are probably not the issues you are worried about. Your views seem to skew rather decidedly pro-Russian. You were probably more concerned with the warning of massive US/NATO retaliation if Russia pops the nuclear cork. But here is the thing, either the

Free World makes that warning and makes it credible of nukes will be used. Russia is losing the war in Ukraine. Her response is not a rational, "we can go home at any time, so lets sue for peace and try and think about our future". Nope, Russia is not even escalating to

the way Khrushchev did in Cuba. She is escalating to win. Putin and Russia are trying to make the cost of continued western support for Ukraine too expensive to continue via blackmail. We see similar acts with energy. The problem is it will never stop until stood up too.

Threatening to glass cities, freeze grandmas and as a recent report shows, rape babies is so much worse than normal terrorism. At this point Russia has killed more civilians, raped more women, looted more "stuff" than Daesh could ever even dream about. It is terrorism since the

point of the violence and escalation is to cause fear as a way to force political behaviors. We are long passed the point where the designation should have been made. Russia and Putin need to be cut off from the rest of the world that wants to improve the lives of all mankind

bomb the survivors into a new dark age of wrecked cities where some future explorer will write a sage that comes to some future people like Xenophon marveling at the ruins of Nineveh, thinking that they must have been built by giants.

So yeah, to my elected leaders @JohnBoozman, @SenTomCotton, and @RepFrenchHill push @POTUS to declare Russia a state sponsor of terrorism and support him in arming Ukraine. To my readers, keep on keeping on. Donate to charities like @MriyaAid and @UkraineAidOps BTW to @Harri_Est

get well soon. Keep supporting @georgian_legion and continue to be part of the effort to combat Russian dis-info as part of #NAFO. Our expansion is non-negotiable. Continue to push Ukraine and Ukrainians into the other spaces of your lives so that political support for Ukraine

endures. They are not Russia's first victims, likely not her last, but they are her current victims and they need our support as they exercise their sovereign agency to free their lands and people from a brutal invasion. Stay up to date with the latest via @MriyaReport and other

trusted sources. Until Ukraine wins on Ukraine's terms: Slava Ukraini! #russiaisateroriststate #UkraineWillWin #ukrainecounteroffensive #nuclearwar @mfa_russia <--- still losing and now Putin is hiding in the woods. He is going to leave you all too die.
