Unpopular opinion 🚨 Whatever happens now to Ukraine, it is on Biden, not Trump
Biden had a once in a century opportunity to strategically defeat US opponents
He squandered 3 times the same opportunity:
1. In the fall of 2022, he refused to supply the Ukrainian army when...
... Russia was on the verge of a catastrophic defeat after the Kharkiv offensive
2. In summer 2023, he purposely delayed the promised tanks and fighter jets. He also prevented allies from supporting Ukraine fully.
3. After Trump's victory in the presidential election, ...
... Russia is completely overstretched economically and militarily. A few Ukrainians with the Syrian rebels crushed the Russian and Assad's armies in 2 weeks. Biden still refuses to supply Ukraine with the needed long range weapons, but pardoned his son.

🧵Short thread on tank vulnerabilities and mobilization in Ukraine
Let me share two interesting discussions: one with a Swiss Major General and one with an executive of a large US companies operating in Odesa
The Swiss General has a long career in the military intelligence. For those who do not know, the rank of General does not exist in Switzerland in peace time.
Because he was deployed abroad (yes, I know...) and for reasons of etiquette a received the rank of General, He is technically a "Divisionär".
When asked about the future needs of the Swiss Army, he replied that the future does not lie in "masse of heavy equipment" that cost millions, something the military understands but not the politicians.
BREAKING ‼️ There are strong rumors that General Teplinsky and/ or Russian milblogger '13' died in the Kherson area when the Ukrainian aviation struck their command point on a ship
13 had over 220K followers on Telegram
I think he is dead
Apparently 13 was killed by Akhmat goat lovers
Did he try to steal a bride? We will probably never know
In this picture, he holds a patch "cargo 200 we are together"
