1/ #TimeMachine If you want to have some really general context of what the general public (because intel agencies knew much more of course) should have known few years ago about #PUTIN
i recommend you this video.
with the great @mashagessen
2/ also on the same "line" you can watch the interview with #JuliaLoffe :
3/ actually it"s funny because looking for @juliaioffe proper tweet account about this @PBS series of interview i just find out, @jcbehrends has the same idea i just have to also show these interviews to his general audience. 😄👍
4/ and as we are reaching the one year -mark- (please don't say anniversary - ever !!)
another Julia Loffe interview
5/ and to end up with the most recent one:
6/ of course there were other very interesting videos back then and of course some things has evolved and changed and with Syria we learned even more about Putin.. etc
but i just paste these vids here, so first we have a record about the general history "frame" & also to show
7/ As recently said, again, by even the former french president Hollande (on national TV) that we were wrong to let it go when Putin went to Syria.. & we should have handle it back then (Hollande ask US & even some Eur countries back then to go & take care of it!) it would have
8/ much more easier to deal with him back then, just following Putin's Crimea "statement" to the world.
as i try to see it in a "positive way", let say that this war is at least definitively severing Ukraine from Russia but also brings a real real European cohesion right now
9/ and Russia won't be able to hide in the dark from now on, and we won't let them (as long as this "Demokratur" remains) act like they always did & as they want
& from then we'll maybe set our minds to not accept such things anywhere else.

Missing some Tweet in this thread? You can try to
force a refresh
1/ I did not take anytime to talk about Putin's speech today, because it is more and more pathetic.
exactly like the bullets points (occurences) in the recap below :
2/ i mean it's just like the simple speech of a drunk man for his own camarade in some barracks...
we have heard it all, we know how ridiculous the arguments are & it also shows us that Putin is not really bright, because he is never able to "reinvent" himself, simply stuck in
3/ in the past, simply using the same points, like a dumb KGB agent would tell again & again in a bad 70's DDR propaganda movie...
Also right now as they haven't made any real progress whatsoever, it really shows that he can only try to "impress", but now we get it... for real.
1/ !! #GUR@ServiceSsu just posted a photo of its soldiers coupled with (in the background) of a US Army UH-60 #BLACKHAWK with #Ukrainian tactical insignia
The deliveries of any "Black Hawks" to #Ukraine were not previously reported. (From US?) if this
2/ has occurred, it then certainly a one & unique delivery (for now) for special units...
very interesting... & really really nice gift.

3/ some people saying diff thing right now about this.
as it could have been before invasion? (but then why we never saw it? and why the release now?)
i don't know right now.
if it's only an old pic, and it's not reprensative or means anything related to actual news, i'll delete
the situation si quite under control everywhere.
The Ru dynamic is stalling now.
2/ Quick Operational situation update/ #russian_invasion in #Ukraine on Feb 21, 2023
Situation is still very difficult in several directions all around #Bakhmut but under control almost everywhere.
last day/night Ru attacks failed. All! #UkraineMap
3/ #UAarmy repelled Ru attacks in the areas of #Vasyukivka, #DubovoVasylivka, #Berkhivka and #Bakhmut in absolutely all directions!
Apparently a counterattack (Ru r even talking abt it) pushed them further out the #Yahidne direct perimeter.
So it's another day for nothing for Ru
1/ "If they don't kill the enemies and imprison their own, then after the victory, I will deal with the psychological rehabilitation of the people who were fucked by this war."
2/ Just a few day’s short of the one-year "mark" of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on 24 February, its estimated that one in every four Ukrainians may suffer from mental health issues because of the ongoing conflict.
The World Health Org said this means that some 10 million people
3/ will likely experience depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia.
Ukraine’s gov said that more than 60% of its soldiers are suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and about half of the population needs psychological help
1/ je vois passer ce sonde (j'aurais bien aimé connaitre exactement le nbr de personnes interrogées/catégories etc bref...)
Je note qq petites choses en passant, c'est que 1 il y a non seulement 2/3 des Fra des approuvent la livraison d'arme (diff du soutien à l'#Ukraine soit
2/ dit en passant)
au début de la guerre : huffingtonpost.fr/politique/arti…
donc on reste en réalité assez "consistant" car finalement en dehors d'une inflation certaine et meme violente pour certains on ne note pas d'inflexion dans la position Fra. c'est bien.
3/ on note meme que les Fra sur des sondages plus récents on moins peur qu'au début du conflit, (malgré les 300k emissions tv sur le risque nucléaire..Toussa sigh)
mais récemment on note aussi que les Fra ds leur grande majorité seraient bien sur favorable ifop.com/publication/le…
1/ Just one thing. contrary to what some people (TV & all are reporting, the main offensive has not begun, at all!
Huge amount of Ru materials & troops still waiting behind the Ru frontier & also in diff areas far behind Front line.
what is happening now is just like a dam with
2/ only one opening.. (because they just need to use the minimum of ressources to replenish daily losses) but the main "flow" is still not release yet! at all! i'll try to explain tomorrow, what i have gathered from the last days from a lots of diff sources all saying exactly the
3/ same (from Hayday, to svatove locals, or Ru mil accounts or civilians in all the East areas behind the frontier... and also from some friends...) it is expected to come anytime this coming week.
Also maybe a massive attack on Kharkiv area (missiles?) maybe only a massive
