PMC Wagner (WAG)
🇷🇺🇺🇦🇺🇸🧵 ❗️More than 10 million US citizens have applied to join Russia's Wagner PMC.

The organization is considering the applications of up to 1 million Americans, among whom are many ex-convicts (as the organziation allows) - Evgeny Prigozhin, CEO.

However, if you are asking me if we will shoot Ukrainian prisoners of war, then no. PMC "Wagner" destroys enemies exclusively during the battle. Traitors must be shot.”

New York Times: The Spy War, How the C.I.A. Secretly Helps Ukraine Fight Putin.

So now they openly admit that it WASN'T an unprovoked attack!

It's a long read so I decided to pour it into a thread.

#Ukraine
#Russia
#UkraineRussiaWar

I will include the images in the article with the accompanying captions.
1) Nestled in a dense forest, the Ukrainian military base appears abandoned and destroyed, its command center a burned-out husk, a casualty of a Russian missile barrage early in the war.

But that is above ground.

Not far away, a discreet passageway descends to a subterranean bunker where teams of Ukrainian soldiers track Russian spy satellites and eavesdrop on conversations between Russian commanders. On one screen, a red line followed the route of an explosive drone threading through Russian air defenses from a point in central Ukraine to a target in the Russian city of Rostov.

The underground bunker, built to replace the destroyed command center in the months after Russia’s invasion, is a secret nerve center of Ukraine’s military.

There is also one more secret: The base is almost fully financed, and partly equipped, by the C.I.A.

“One hundred and ten percent,” Gen. Serhii Dvoretskiy, a top intelligence commander, said in an interview at the base.

Now entering the third year of a war that has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives, the intelligence partnership between Washington and Kyiv is a linchpin of Ukraine’s ability to defend itself. The C.I.A. and other American intelligence agencies provide intelligence for targeted missile strikes, track Russian troop movements and help support spy networks.

But the partnership is no wartime creation, nor is Ukraine the only beneficiary.

It took root a decade ago, coming together in fits and starts under three very different U.S. presidents, pushed forward by key individuals who often took daring risks. It has transformed Ukraine, whose intelligence agencies were long seen as thoroughly compromised by Russia, into one of Washington’s most important intelligence partners against the Kremlin today.

🇷🇺🇺🇦🧵 Could the Russia - Ukraine conflict have been avoided all together?
Let's find out in this thread.

🇷🇺🇺🇦🧵 In this thread I'm going to take a look at specific events that lead up to the Russian special military operation and we're also going to look at wether this special military operation could have been avoided.
1) 🇷🇺🇺🇦🧵 NATO expansion

NATO has undergone nine rounds of enlargement since its establishment in 1949, increasing its membership from 12 to 31 countries. Despite the promise the West gave in 1990 after the Russians voluntarily decided to give back the occupied GDR to Germany so Germany could reunite.
They promised not expand NATO "even one inch" to the East.

I know many argue that this promise was not written on paper and some even claim that it therefore was never agreed. However there is actual footage were German Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher back in February 6, 1990 who said: "We agreed that there is no intention to expand the NATO defense area to the east. Incidentally, this applies not only with regard to the GDR, which we do not want to incorporate, but in general."

And whether it was written on paper is not relevant in my opinion. If I ask you to borrow me money and I promise to pay it back but decide not to that's not the way to treat each other. In this case especially since the Russians voluntarily and without any bloodshed returned the GDR.

To Russia this NATO expansion has always been seen as a threat. A threat because Russia knows that once a country has become a NATO member that de facto Nato decides whether there are going to be military bases or missiles, that's no longer for the member to decide. And Russia simply doesn't want missiles near it's border that could hit Moscow within 5 to 10 minutes. The reaction time for Russia would be too short. I think that's a legitimate reason for concern.
And if we image the other way around, if Russia would place missiles in Mexico on the border with the US, the US wouldn't accept it either, so why would Russia?

Just an analogy, a known and convicted pedophile wants to rent a house right beside a kindergarten.
Is it understandable that the kindergarten has "security concerns" and doesn't want that potential danger right on it's doorstep?
I think so, and the same goes for Russia's security concerns.

Many often argue that every country can decide for itself if it wants to become a member of NATO.
In some sense this of course is true. But knowing that you will be seen as the pedophile in the above example, maybe it is better to just to abandon the idea.

Conclusion: a promise is a promise and needs to be kept, or at least discussed when is decided that the promise is going to be broken and why.
If NATO had kept it's promise and had respected Russia's security concerns the special military operation would have not started.

The first reaction from Western media to Tucker Carlson's interview with Russian President Putin, if they report anything about the content, is that they accuse Putin of, he would lie and criticize Carlson for leaving these „ lies “ unchallenged.

Israel's involvement in the 7 October HAMAS attack
🇮🇱🇵🇸🧵 As it is becoming more and more clear that many if not most of the 7th October HAMAS attack victims were actually killed by the Israeli Defense Forces, let's look at the information we have till now (in no particular order)
1/
🇮🇱🇵🇸🧵 Important revelations about the Nova missing festival.
An article in the Israeli newspaper Haartz confirms that it was an Israeli Apache helicopter that fired at more than 300 targets for hours, killing many of their own civilians.
"According to a police source, the investigation also indicates that an IDF combat helicopter that arrived to the scene and fired at terrorists there apparently also hit some festival participants. According to police, 364 people were murdered at the festival."

Short thread ‼️
I see far too many people fanatically and hopelessly stuck in their first emotional shock reaction and forget to look at anything else. Time to explain how this works and especially how this can be misused and how it can turn the perpetrator into the victim.
Good short summary by Ole Dammegard where he explains the Problem - reaction - solution mechanism.
In short: you want to achieve a goal for which there is little support, you create a problem that will trigger a response from the public so that they accept the solution.
Some powers have a goal, something they want to achieve, but they know they will never get enough public support. So they create an event (the problem) which will invoke an emotional shock reaction from the public and make them demand or support the solution which in fact was the goal from the start.
