America we have a problem. There is now a ven diagram with 3 circles that are extreme left, extreme right and antisemitism. It does not matter if the anti-semite is some evil white dude motivated by the Turner Diaries or a black nationalist shooting up a Jewish deli its dangerous
and evil. But there are a couple more circles that fit as well. Groups Russia has tried to influence and groups that support Russia in Ukraine. Kim Dotscam was right when he said Ye is done. When you make Alex Jones back up and say whoa, well you've gone straight past the looney
bin and dived into oblivion. But here is the thing, Kim (who has a lot of US followers) didn't say Ye was wrong, only wrong to say the quiet part out loud. Russia is going to make absolute hay with this and claim: Americans think there is something to love about Hitler, and if
Americans love Hitler and support Ukraine it's because Ukraine is Nazi infested... We know that is all bullshit. Hitler has no redeeming qualities, Naziism has no redeeming qualities no not even the autobahn. Despite the trope Nazi Germany did not invent the idea of highways. You
have to go back to ancient Assyria for that and the first royal roads. Fighting back against the evils of antisemitism is the right thing to do. It also directly helps the 2nd largest Jewish diaspora in Europe, almost all of whom are Holocaust survivors and their descendants.
Russia has embarked on a mission that if successful will crush this community along with every other Ukrainian they can gain control of. We need more Americans in the middle to stand up and say NO. I will not hate my neighbor and I will not engage in racism or bigotry. Its a
very short step from being anti-hate to being pro-Ukraine gets to decide to her own future free from fear of #genocide and #invasion. The more people we can convince that Ukraine is the righteous cause the more support politicians like @JohnBoozman, @SenTomCotton and
@RepFrenchHill have to keep voting to send more, send better and send now. It also increases the pool of people willing to donate to charities like @MriyaAid, @U24_gov_ua, @UkraineAidOps, @LibertyUkraineF and @3xR_team. It means more #FELLAS joining #NAFO and donating to
@georgian_legion and @belwarriors as well as bonking all over the Russian narratives. Embracing your neighbors and fellow citizens with love is it self an info op. Russia has spent years sowing hate and division in order to lay the groundwork for its wars of imperial conquest.
While the kinetic part of that war is not going Russia's way, we still have the wreckage they have caused to our civil society. What if you don't have any Jewish neighbors to embrace? Then embrace whomever it is that is different. America is a rich tapestry of different flavors
Adding some to your life will enrich it. Get outside of your comfort zone. If you are liberal befriend a conservative, if you are conservative say high to the gay couple etc. Look around and see all the us and stop seeing all the them. Move yourself to the middle where hate has
hardest time surviving. Until Ukraine Wins On Ukraine's Terms: Slava Ukraini! @mfa_russia <--- still losing and our wounds will heal before yours

Well that is what's called waking up to the Earth Moved. 5 big things on the ticket today. First, conservstives are feeling rather justified. With Twittergate about to blow up the American political scene right before the GOP takes over the House things are going to be intense.
1. Twittergate 2. Russian Public Opinion 3. retreat from Zaporizhia 4. #Ukrainiancounteroffensive 5. inability to reconstitute offensive power. Thise 5 things are on Putin's palte today and only one of them looks tasty to him, remember that and don't help him with it.
Between Zuckbucks and Twittergate its now rather clear that the 2020 election was not conducted on a level playing field. Russia is going push every possible narrative around this they can. This is a golden opportunity for them to sow more division. I think we (Americans) all

Let's talk casualty care. The UMOD has Russian deaths at 90K and if they are still tracking along with Russia's own MOD admissions that got leaked several months ago then this number is at least in the ball park or reality. It certainly squares with the images we see coming from
Bakhmut. Those types of trench based positional fights chew up men. The provision of the M30A1 MLRS rocket certainly won't help Russia stop the bleeding... On the other side there is the (corrected) claim that Ukraine has suffered 100K casualties: dead, wounded, missing, and KIA.
With later speculation that the real numbers are 10K dead and 40K seriously wounded. Now none of those numbers are real but they do offer insights. 90K Russian deaths begs a serious question: how many wounded. The traditional ratio of dead to wounded was 1:3. I think that might

Why Bakhmut? Its a common question as people try to figure out what Russia hopes to gain from a battle that now resembles a WWI battlefield right down to the mud and unburied bodies. I am going to try and answer that question, or at least pose a reasonable explanation. Firstly
there are 3 battles you never want to fight, though all 3 are very common in military history. 1. The battle your enemy wants you to fight. 2. The battle where your enemy is. 3. The battle you have to win. All 3 require you to give up valuable tools like the initiative, room to
maneuver, and time. For the Russians Bakhmut has become all 3. The battle started for rather simple reasons. After the Russian breakthrough at Popasnaya Bakhmut was simply the next blocking position taken up by the Ukrainians. Thats where the enemy (of the Russians) was so that

Good morning everyone. Today is Giving Tuesday! I jumped the gun a little bit last night (it was already Tuesday in Kyiv) to take advantage of Cyber Monday (in Arkansas) to send an IFAK to @UkraineAidOps. I am asking my readers to give something today to some organization that is
helping Ukraine resist the #GenocideOfUkrainians. @MriyaAid, @U24_gov_ua, @3xR_team, @Teoyaomiquu, @georgian_legion, @belwarriors of whatever outlet you use to support Ukraine. Especially as it looks like Russia was gearing up for another massive missile strike. Russian sends
hate, we can send love and defiance. At this point just about every trooper in the Ukrainian Army has something from the West. From government supplied aid to little "care packages" from people like us that could be a chest carrier, IFAK or radio. The Ukrainian people know there

Short one today, gotta go to work early, I think I am gonna get told to go down the street and pee in a cup lol. DOT reqs require randoms to keep the motoring public safe from intoxicated truck drivers. No worries, I am working towards my 18th year clean. These are the easiest
in the world to pass. No studying, no prep work well at least until they ban caffeine then I am screwed. Speaking of tests, the Russian Army continues to fail the hardest test in the world: combat. Just saw a meme from a well known troll page claiming Ukraine is only defending
so hard to protect a child trafficking ring. The poster was so close to right but as a Russian failed 180 from the truth. Ukraine is defending Bakhmut so hard to prevent a child trafficking ring. Every inch of Ukraine the Russian's occupy is followed by filtration, torture, rape,

I've noticed that my observation comparing #Bakhmut to #Verdun and #Passchendaele are now pretty much the accepted comparisons, and they should be. What a nightmare battlefield. There are however some things that make it a very much 21st century war vs just WWI redux. First the
suffering is in some ways worse. The troops from late 1915-18 had become masters of trench warfare. Trenches were deep with duckboards to keep heads below the bullet line and feet above the mud. Dug outs were artillery resistant and could only be hit by happenstance and could
not be individually targeted. The night while full of terrors at least allowed movement behind the trenches and for raiding parties across no man's land. Well crewed and directed artillery in WWI could hit a fairly well-defined area but it had to be an area. It was not going to
