What we know for sure: 1. a missile hit Poland killing two people. 2. It's Russia's fault. Poeple can argue if it was a SAM that went off course, or a SAM that was repurposed into a SSM, if it was fired from #Belarus, #Ukraine or #Russia. They can push outlandish theories like

Russia claiming Ukraine did it in order to get NATO involved to help Ukraine stave off an impending defeat (as Ukrainian troops retreat East across the Dnipro in the South and all the way to the Belarus and Russian borders in the North). They can argue about what type of rocket

motor and get into the weeds about enameled metal vs brushed metal vs the angles of bolt holts and setting pins. They can argue that NATO should or shouldn't do this or that. I think NATO should close the skies over Western Ukraine so there is my marker. These are all things that

can be debated but in the end its all just noise. There are only 2 facts that cannot be debated. 2 people died in Poland and those families will never be the same. It's Russia's fault. Russia invaded Ukraine in pursuit of empire, colonies and genocide. Every death stemming from

that act, deliberate, accidental or happenstance is Russia's fault. No invasion, no missile barrages, no dead Polish farm workers- period full stop. As Russia advances deeper and deeper towards the Russian border and she bleeds every brighter and deeper red she has been

actively choosing to target civilians and civil infrastructure. Russia wants all Ukrainians dead, the women, kids and elderly most of all. #RussiaisATerroistState and the world mist stand united in opposing it. I write my elected leaders every day. @JohnBoozman, @SenTomCotton,

and @RepFrenchHill know they have my support in supporting Ukraine. I am going to put down another marker, Russia wants to force another mass migration crisis on Europe. Wave 1 was the invasion and millions of displaced Ukrainians. wave 2 was supposed to be starving Africans and

Middle Easterners fleeing famine but that fizzled, so wave 3 is supposed to be more Ukrainians fleeing cold and hunger. The best way to prevent it, and to prevent more deaths inside NATO borders is to close the skies over Western Ukraine. I know Ukraine probably wants NATO to

close all Ukrainian skies, but that is an order of magnitude bigger ask giving the square cubed law. Instead, we should give Ukraine more ADA systems to use East, but NATO should close the skies over cities like Lviv and any remaining power plants, transmission and switching

stations etc. It keeps NATO safe, and creates a humanitarian bubble we can ship in supplies to for displaced Ukrainians, so they do not have to flee their country they have fought so hard to stay in. When spring arrives they can move back east and start picking up the picking up

the mess the Russians have left behind. The humanitarian plight this winter is not going to be pretty without a defended and defensible safe zone. Even with such a zone all of us are going to need to donate to charities we trust. @MriyaAid, @U24_gov_ua, @3xR_team, @UkraineAidOps

to Ukrainian fundraisers like @Teoyaomiquu to help our Ukrainian get to spring alive and hale. So as you journey around the birb app today bonking the Russian apologists, trolls, dis-informers and genocide deniers keep the Ukrainian civilians in the front or your mind. If the

@georgian_legion and @belwarriors regiments can put thier bodies between Putin and Ukraine, can you put a dollar or euro? Also, if you are not a #NAFO #FELLA yet why not? Oh, you were listening to the same people who are trying to blame Ukraine, west, et all for the genocidal

actions of Putin. Don't buy what they are selling. Join us, find out for yourself that we do not discriminate, we are not CIA or Nazis, we are not bots but real people who really care about opposing genocide. #UkraineWillWin and #RussiaIsLosing you need to stand and be counted!

So Until Ukraine Wins on Ukraine's Terms: Slava Ukraini! #ukrainecounteroffensive #UkrainianArmy #Poland #PolandMissileStrike #Article4 #Article5 @mfa_russia <--- still losing and soon your advancing troops will reach Taman in Krasnodar Krai.
