Enough over the border attacks on Ukraine without @TDF_UA@CinC_AFU being able to take out these daily Russian threats with US weapon systems already given. #HIMARS
We all pressure our governments to give Ukraine more & better weapons, but we don’t do a damn thing to pressure them to give AFU & Territorial Defenses what they really need…
Authorization to use what we are already providing them!
Wake the fuck up!
Ukraine’s defenders are forced to sit with their thumbs up their asses along 900km of their northern border as Russian rockets rain down nightly bc @POTUS won’t #AuthorizeUkraineNow!
Add another 800 km once the counter offensive starts & they regain ground.
And we say nothing!
There is more talk & internet ink spilt on the specifications of different versions of #F16sForUkraine, that are not even in Ukraine.
Meanwhile it is f*cking 🦗🦗about Russian rail logistics resupply in Russia that Ukraine can’t reach with weapons they are improvise during war.
Then there’s the bridge, THEE BRIDGE! That we must send #ATACMSforUkraine to hit.
75% of Russian materials that enter Ukraine, never sees Kerch Bridge or Crimea, because it enters from the East… but Ukraine can’t disrupt that, because it is in Russia!
We won’t talk about it!
Zelensky doesn’t need ATACMS, he needs to protect his people and all Ukrainians from the threats that exist every day, especially those inside Russia that kill Ukrainians & resupply the occupation forces.
But POTUS says no, and we say & do nothing to pressure President Biden.
Did you know, System Operators now are so good, enabled by fancy, modern techs, that they can not only model "inertia" - something that once came ONLY from large spiny things, but they have created markets for it, regardless of it being "physical" or synthetic?
Because some power generating tech want you to believe, only they can create "inertia", or that they are best for it, and therefore, other technologies of the 21st C are "not worthy" of being part of our energy mix.
Let’s not forget, Russia crossed a globally accepted redline, first occupying Chernobyl NEZ, then Europe’s largest operating #nuclear power plant… #ZNPP.
Then 🇷🇺threatened it’s safe operations for months, while world & IAEA did nothing but ‘urge’ restraint, of Ukraine also! 🤦🏼♂️
After 🇷🇺’s ‘successful’ forcing of ZNPP to shutdown by attacking critical assets not at the plant itself, completely calculated to deceive observers, Russia then threatened the safe operation of all other operating NPPs inside Ukraine in the same, calculated, manner.
When I argued last summer to destroy the large pumps stealing water from Ukraine to inconvenience occupiers in Crimea and force Moscow to decide between supplying the frontlines/stealing 🇺🇦resources or organizing logistics to supply from other sources, the predominate response… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
🇷🇺GPS Jamming causing inconveniences in Moscow, or something else?
Frankly, I don’t care, as long as Russians are inconvenienced and bear the cost of their war against Ukraine.
A History 🧵 of RBGB's aka "Russian Bridges Go BOOM!" verified & annotated Open-Source Intel of logistics, energy and critical assets enabling the Russian war machine's destruction & genocide in Ukraine, in 3 simple images.
@davidhelms570 recently posted an image of primary shipping routes of the Black Sea. Unfortunately, I cannot locate it, but it shows Tuapse as a primary russian terminal in addition to Novorossiysk (which only has a crude oil tank farm, nor refinery capacity).
I let my excitement get the better of me, hoping for the best outcome, not the actual outcome.
The orange area is the site of the explosion/fire, not the green area. The area circled green in the photo, looks like reflection from water, but is grass reflecting the facility… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
