Good morning, with all the dour news from partisanship to whatever is going on with Twitter I thought I would start my daily essay with some comedy. hat tip to @wartranslated
That truck is the ultimate catfish for a mechanic. From 50 feet away you might think its repairable... up close its total scrap. Imagine being a flesh and blood creature when that rain of metal comes down? Yeah that parts not funny. What will drill neat little holes in steel
will pink mist anyone unlucky enough to be caught in it. No wonder the Russian's have decided running is better than driving. More and more reports coming in that the latest tranche of Russian Lend Lease to Ukraine will not disappoint. Though to be honest I don't know if that is
the 50' away view or the up close view. Imagine if you will, you've seen vehicles shredded, and bits of bodies from these strikes but you are head down in a trench and the company next to you gets invited to the HIMARS ball... They are gone except for some whimpering and then a
delivered leaflet arrives and says, "wanna dance"?... My point is less about tactics than how do you make men stay and fight when trenches offer only trench foot but no protection. Right now the solution is too get under cover. @SpencerGuard is the prophet of need more concrete
but in this case it just pockets the Russians in built up areas forcing them out of the countryside and off the road. For the Russian's the war has entered a stage where problems out number resources to find solutions. call it terminal decline. They have lost the institutional
memory, human capital and equipment stores needed to conduct the war. Conscripts and museum pieces are not going to change that tide. Thats why the Kleptogradians and their apologists in the West are trying so hard to choke off Ukrainian support and launching revenge attacks
against Ukrainian civilians. Thier only hope is that we abandon Ukraine. I for one refuse to not do my part to crush that hope. It's why I write @JohnBoozman, @SenTomCotton and @RepFrenchHill every day telling them to keep supporting Ukraine. Sadly, the revenge attacks mean the
civilians are suffering. The change of seasons means cold and wet is the new normal. Both the people denied heating and electricity and the troops in the field need our continued support. Please donate to a charity you trust. There are so many: @Teoyaomiquu's fund raisers,
@MriyaAid, @UkraineAidOps, @3xR_team, @U24_gov_ua, @georgian_legion, @belwarriors so many to choose from. If you are a #FELLA of #NAFO there is a specific fund raiser at the moment for a naval drone cpay.tranzzo.com/api/v1/checkou…
speaking of paying... (somber voice), yesterday the murderers including Igor Girkin who killed 298 people abord MH17 were finally convicted by a Dutch court. it was in absentia so the justice is scant, but it is a start. Perhaps the next round of court hearings will be at
The Hauge. Speaking of speaking, my go to is @MriyaReport / mriyareport.org Book mark the page so if Twitter does go down you can still stay in the loop and listen/ join in the conversation that is now the longest running single conversation in human history.. it only
pauses for crashes. Until Ukraine Wins On Ukraine's Terms: Slava Ukraini! #GenocideOfUkrainians #RussiaIsLosing #RussiaIsATerrorristState #UkraineUnderAttack @mfa_russia <--- still losing and the stories you tell have more holes in them than that KAMAZ truck.

The pictures showing the carnage of #Bakhmut are straight from Flanders 1917... Chewed up ground and bodies lying row by row where they were mowed down like grass. Then there is the video of the SU-30S going down in flames. Add in yesterday's video showing a KAMAZ truck
that was turned into a sieve and the picture is pretty clear: #Russia is fucked. While I am very happy that Russia finds itself in this position, it didn't have to be this way. Had Russia stayed the course it started in 2012 and not brought Shoigu to the fore the war likely would
have gone much differently and might well be over by now. A decade's worth of real reform and re-arming would have made the Russian's much better at what they tried to do. Even if they were only twice as good (still bad by Western standards) and started a month later or earlier

Not my normal essay, that will be in a bit. This is a short thread on Pelosi. I wake up to tweet after tweet singing her praises. Now hopefully my readers now that while I may add some rhetorical polish, I will not lie to them. Pelosi did break barriers, but she was not the GOAT.
Her entire leadership career has been defined by just 3 goals. 1. Insider trading to help her husband make hundreds of millions of dollars via being invited to IPO's of tech companies they did not invest in, did not understand but did have regulatory power over. If you count her
husband's wealth (made while she was in office) she is among the richest in the House and she has consistently blocked insider trading reform. This brings up point 2. Luxury and privilege. From the insider trading, demanding a private jet, to $20k ice cream freezers she lives

Suddenly all these GOP'ers are calling for an audit of US aid to Ukraine. It's like they got marching orders. Now I don't think those orders came from Russia. Unlike the wiggidity wackity libs I remember that Trump was actually really severe on Putin. Toughest pre-Feb 24th
sanctions, blocking Nordstream 2, hitting Assad twice despite Putin threatening grave consequences and then of course turning a Wagner assault on US troops into a bloody burnt smear on the Syrian desert. So this is something new. maybe its just politics, at least I hope it is,
but we can't rule out dark money. So without further ado, I will audit the effectiveness of US aid to Ukraine. 1. The pre-war Russian Army doesn't exist anymore. A more than 100% casualty rate of the initial invasion force, the loss of thousands of tanks and vehicles, expending

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

One thing about Russian trolls, tankies and the hard parts of both Left and Right ideologies is that they are literally stuck on stupid. Encountered a new one yesterday, minor account with few followers but he repeated an oft used reasoning
1. it didn't happen
2. But if it did happen it wasn't a war crime
3. if it was a war crime it was the soldiers fault
4. If it was a war crime it was the unit's fault
5. If it was a war crime its not genocide
6. if it is genocide its not Putin's/Russia's fault
7. You hate Russia
The crime of genocide is listed here ohchr.org/en/instruments…

@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
