@SarahAshtonLV @Mriya_Aid @walter_report 1. I stopped going to their space a couple weeks back, after repeated, serious complaints about several of their co-hosts went unaddressed. It's gotten worse since then, and gone well beyond anything that can be excused by their main hosts saying they're too busy to deal with it. @SarahAshtonLV @Mriya_Aid @walter_report 2. People I met over 6 weeks of daily involvement who contacted them about Mriya Aid got a torrent of messages pushing them into crypto stuff having nothing to do with Ukraine.

I work in online marketing. Those messages are rife with red flags. Warning: possible scam.

An estimated NINTY-EIGHT percent of buildings in Mariupol have been substantially damaged.

20,000+ human lives cut short and buried under the rubble.
#ArmUkraineNow 71% in Irpin.

If the current level of military aid leveled off, the war would probably drag on & hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians would die.

The Ukrainian will is unmistakable. The variables are Putin vs how much Free World leaders put their money where their mouths are.
#ArmUkraineNow Image People can speculate all they want, reading the tea leaves between the lines of all the garbage that comes out of the Kremlin every day, but it doesn't accomplish much of anything.

What does is getting them the force multiplying hardware they need to even the odds with Russia. Image

#ArmUkraineNow Context: US Govt is giving Ukraine $322 million, and then selling then $165 million in ammunition, in latest military aid package.

Diplomacy is weird. This is part of a $713 million deal, with the rest going to 14 other allied nations.

Can't find details (not surprising), but ideally much of this would be backstopping, to free up smaller nations to give more to Ukraine without weakening their own defensive capabilities.

Video apparently showing the initial explosion at the oil depot in #Bryansk, Russia.

The audio is low quality, but you can't hear much before the initial flash. The ~100 mile distance from #Ukraine makes an *air strike* seem unlikely, but... sabotage?
Ukraine may have some cruise missiles capable of that range.

Before the war there was talk of a variant of their Neptune anti-ship missile (that sunk the Russian flagship) designed for this, and a model in development apparently called the Hrim-2.

Why we need to #ArmUkraineNow :: daily thread #6 Tens of thousands estimated dead, far more under Russian boots and hundreds in bunkers being bombed in #Mariupol, unreachable because Ukraine doesn’t have the firepower to rescue them.

We should have two months ago, but...

True, and once Ukraine gets the heavy weapons it needs to stop Russia, we need to help them rebuild #Mariupol as the de facto capital of the free world.
#ArmUkraineNow Over a month ago, president @ZelenskyyUa proposed a 'Union of Responsible Countries', that would more quickly respond to the defensive needs of nations under attack.

Nothing would benefit global security more.

Legendary guitarist @Slash supports the Ukrainian struggle for freedom, and the need to #ArmUkraineNow

This reminded me of one of the best anti-war/hate/greed songs (and one of the best guitar solos) of all time 🤟
/1 Before Axl starts singing, the song starts with a audio clip from the classic movie 'Cool Hand Luke'. The second line may remind you of a someone:

"What we've got here is... failure to communicate.
Some men, you just can't reach."

At least six weeks slow, but finally starting to ramp. Heavy artillery like this is one of the things they need the most.
#ArmUkraineNow Problem remains: these are vulnerable w/o air cover, & the recent delivery of Mig spare parts isn't even close to enough.

What could be: more planes & air-to-air capable drones (like Predators, Bayraktars arnt), w the vehicle mounted Starstreaks they're getting from the Brits.
