Today's essay will be rather like a winding road as there are a lot of little disjointed things to talk about, that I have to weave into a coherent narrative. Russia makes that hard... Lets start with the obvious comedy before winding round to the horror. Ready or not here we go!
First belly laugh, the Ukrianians captured an intact T-62. Not an M or MV but a base model your granddads sweat still stains the interior hull and turret sides T-62
In an age of javelins don't be a tank that should (was) on static display. Where did they even find that thing in running order? If it wasn't in running order (likely) why didn't they give it something? Oh because they can't, no resources + no time = WITAF. LOL and we are
supposed to believe that Russia is going to mass produce hypersonic weapons and other modern kit. Uh-huh sure Russia. But modern does bring up the main act of the comedy part of this essay. @U24_gov_ua has asked/tasked the #FELLAS of #NAFO to raise $250,000 to buy the #Ukrianian
Navy a combat drone. @Official_NAFO should be coming up with a plan to collect donations via central donation link so keep your eyes peeled. Once the money is raised, we get to name it. Fellaraktar, Bonky McBonkface... That poll to choose a name is going to be wild. Letting a
bunch of cartoon dogs name high tech weapon systems LMFAO. We are already have tanks and artillery, time for a naval aviation branch.
Something tells me the applause will be muted in Kleptograd. They don't really do funny-on-purpose. Thier shtick is accidental but endemic buffoonery and horror. @dim0kq posted something that is truly horrid. Apparently a Russian murderer saw his chance to get out of prison by
Wagner, getting to the front and then surrendering to the Ukrainians. He did exactly that, then gave Dimko an interview before being part of a prisoner swap. Thats when the story goes completely off the rails. Wagner got him back and used him to shoot another snuff film,
sledgehammers and all. His crime? Despite being a murderer, he did not want to be a war criminal or cannon fodder and so he surrendered. Russia will trade POW's just to get their own back so they can kill them for not dying like good little sheep.
I know its just another war crime is a war choking on them but damn. If you had any doubt about what they are capable of. You might say, well dude was a murderer. Yup he sure was, but if they will do that to one of their own, what will they do to Ukrainian POW's, partisans,
grandmothers, babies, cats, dogs... We already knew all this of course, Bucha was the actual big reveal even if far too many in the West still refuse to admit it or actively parrot the Kleptograd line that it was staged. sadly I think that video is just the war up act of the
latest episode of what evils can Russia do today. Now that Ukraine is in control of Kherson the inspection of basements and suspiciously turned earthen fields will begin. More bodies with bound hands and signs of torture and execution. Even worse that what is going to be dug up
Kherson is the knowledge that its not over. Yes Kherson was a massive victory but millions remain trapped behind Russian lines, millions more have been deported and who knows how many have been raped, tortured and/or murdered? This is why support for Ukraine remains critical.
let your leaders know that you want MORE for Ukraine. I tag @JohnBoozman, @SenTomCotton, and @RepFrenchHill everyday so that the record is clear about where I stand. Given how easily they sailed to victory and #Arksans role in defending Ukraine I am not alone. It's a safe vote
but even if it wasn't I would be tagging them. Ditto for private donations. Keep em rolling. Not just for a naval drone, but for the other as well like @MriyaAid, @belwarriors, @georgian_legion, @3xR_team, @UkraineAidOps or whatever groups you donate too. The need is still there.
Continue to bonk the trolls and propagandists, and stay informed. My go to is @MriyaReport but there are so many good sources of information out there. Get educated, go forth and bonk. Finally the most important piece of all: promote Ukraine and her people into the other spaces
of your life. Russian plans depend on the world turning a blind eye, to people not seeing the richness, fullness and depth of Ukrainian people and culture. Promotion is a form of bonking all by itself. Until Ukraine Wins on Ukraine's Terms: Slava Ukraini! #ukrainecounteroffensive

@ZelenskyyUa went to Kherson, just days after its liberation and boom he makes an appearance when there is a very high likelihood of at least some dead enders and SOF in the city along with deserters and collaborators... Ballsy. Yeah I know he will have good security but still
no security scheme is full proof and he in no way has the resources of the Secret Service. I also know the Kleptogradians will claim its all green screen. You will lilely see infographics that show that this lamp post is actually X tall so Z can't really be there, or look that
face looks similar to this face seen somewhere else etc... Its all copium. At the same time they are denying the photos and videos coming out of Kherson they are alternately celebrating and denying the latest snuff film by the Orchestra. In private they celebrate, in public

So how many Russian troops got out of Kherson? We probably won't know the truth for a long time if ever. What we do know is that not every Russian sent to that side of the River made it out. Its more likely than not that the Russian's lost thousands of men in the battle for the
Kherson Pocket... and it was a pocket battle. Bridgeheads that don't expand often end up dying. Sometimes defenders with logistics lines dominated by enemy artillery find a way to win. Look at the French with the Sacred Road at Verdun. But usually, interdicted supply lines mean
the defender is going to lose. We will have an idea of just how good or bad the retreat was based on the amount of captured equipment if such is revealed. If far easier to get a man across a river than a truck let alone a tank or SPG. Now just because we don't know, does not

For months now I have been saying the #Ukrainians would use a bite and hold strategy taking bits here and there until the Russian Army collapsed. Ahh, feels good to be right. The Russian's have lost the Battle of Kherson, though mopping up will likely take some days as stragglers
deserters and dead enders get captured, pocketed and annihilated. I always dismissed the idea that Ukraine would launch sweeping blitzkrieg style armored thrusts. That kind of army requires years and a lot of safe space to build, things Ukraine did not have. Ukraine used what she
have and what she was given masterfully. Now granted I am a nobody. Yet my line was the same as retired general officers (western) and even a few Russians. People with actual formal training (I never got past Spc-4 or bachelors) and educations that reach Ph.D level reading if not

So maybe #Russia is going to retreat from Kherson. Assuming they are, they have some issues that I hope the #Ukrainians can cash in on. When the #Russian's retreated from #Kyiv they were able to do it in fairly good-ish order. #Ukraine was still lacking in artillery and most of
her forces were still in the JFO area of the Donbass. At the same time much of Russia's initial combat power was still intact. Mud was the biggest issue. They we get to Kharkiv. That was a rout and had Ukraine had a western style army with all the bells and whistles that retreat
would not have ended short of the Russian border or Black Sea Coast. Now with even less combat pwoer than in Kharkiv, with an army that has been gutted by loss, infected with malcontent mobliks, abandoned by its officers the Russian army is supposed to cross a massive river at

Accept the results. I wish the GOP had done better, they didn't. Fin.... My own home state of #Arkansas did its duty. Both @JohnBoozman and @RepFrenchHill won re-election by crushing double digit margins so those votes for #Ukraine are safe. They also show that voting for
victims of the #GenocideOfUkrainians is a safe play in D.C. Next up is @SenTomCotton but his vote is safe as well. He really doesn't like Russia lol. To my fellow Americans, the 24 Presidential season has officially started, but can we please dial down the rhetoric? the country
is split almost 50/50 so not all Lefties are evil and not all Rightwingers are fascists, not even close to a plurality in either party. Don't believe the competing media narratives that the other side is coming to get you. At least part of those narratives is influenced by Russia

I was in the birb jail all day. Got brigaded so someone is reading my essays. Short one today. To my fellow Americans, treat the election results as you want the other side to treat them. If you can still vote, vote Ukraine.
To @JohnBoozman, @SenTomCotton and @RepFrenchHill thank you for supporting Ukraine. To my readers, give as you can to charities you trust like @MriyaAid, @U24_gov_ua, @3xR_team etc. Fight the dis-info and consider joining #NAFO to support
The @georgian_legion. Stay informed via trusted sources like @MriyaReport and don't let the trolls and genociders cowe you. Until Ukraine Wins On Ukraine's Terms: Slava Ukraini! #UkraineWillWin #RussiaIsLosing #RussiaIsATerroristState
