I think this would be a good time for Secretary Blinken to make a phone call to Minsk explaining that active participation of Belarussians crossing Ukraine's internationally recognized borders could end very badly for Belarus.
@WarMonitor3
I suspect the RZ thinking is that they "need a win" and this is Ukraine's most exhausted front, Wagner's only chance to take something. God, I feel for those UAF fighters in that battle. 🙏
@randymot4
I keep trying to explain this to people and they are (depending on their sympathies) frightened about the Russian "advance" or gleeful. A lot of people seem to tune into this war on a once-in-a-while basis and miss a whole lot of detail and context.
@LovewinnLove
As an Israeli, all I can do is contemplate how many Jews, formerly comfortable in the US, will be making their way to Israel. The haters are creating more Zionists every week.....
@Tendar
Consider the upside: Belarus tries to invade Ukraine, becomes party to Putin's war; Ukraine bonks Belarus, in counteroffensive takes Minsk, liberates Belarus and now two armies are sitting on Muscovy's western flank. 😁🇺🇦🇧🇾

All the pix of the hospitals on Gaza media show them all lit up, no lack of electricity....and people there recharging their cellphones, too.

Compassion for the dead and their families is understandable but misplaced. My compassion is for the ordinary Ukrainian families, all of whom have suffered death, displacement, loss, trauma at the hands of gleeful invading vandals who came for money and a car.
@sdrlc
🇮🇷 considers Azerbaijan like 🇷🇺 considers 🇺🇦:breakaway part of Persian empire. 🇦🇿 don't want 🇮🇷 rule so have an ally in 🇮🇱. Armenians & 🇷🇺 were allies since the Tsars (v the Turks). 🇷🇺 & 🇮🇷 allied, thus 🇮🇱/🇦🇿 allied. Local rule here:"The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
@Maks_NAFO_FELLA
Your unprovoked imperialist aggression and war crimes against a neighboring country whose borders you promised to respect and protect doesn't bode well for Russia's future.

Exactly. Saddam Hussrin used to draw huge cheering crowds....come, get a free chicken for the pot; don't come, get a visit from the security police.

So sorry the ad agency caved to jihadi threats of harm, death. Is this the future? Institutions and businesses caving in to death threats, harm threats every time the minority that dares not be named has a tizzy fit?

US State Dept yesterday articulated Putin's off ramp: "Mr. Putin started this war, and Mr. Putin could end it today, simply by moving his troops out of the country [of Ukraine]."
@Maks_NAFO_FELLA
🇹🇷 has let other military stuff pass--always on freighters, not military ships. S400 systems left Syria for 🇺🇦 this way, as well as RFA personnel. We've(🇮🇱) been watching, counting as they leave....suspect Syrian-factory Iranian drones went that route early on. Before we 🔥it. 😁

I truly appreciate the explanation--this is totally absent from western news; so many of us are sitting outside the Visegrad/Ukraine region, scratching our heads and wondering what the issues are--very grateful for this.
@OlenaHalushka
I hate Russia. These young people had their lives ahead of them and were entitled to life, love, families...I have moved from tears of sorrow to tears of rage. Glory to this hero--may his name live forever!
@strategywoman
There is an American song that starts "Find the cost of freedom buried in the ground." No one knows this better than Ukrainians in this war. Live for them. They died so everyone else could have a future in freedom. God bless them, and comfort their families. 💔
@OlenaHalushka
I remind Americans saying "shouldn't get involved" or "it's not our war"that OH YES IT IS--you convinced Ukraine to surrender her nukes in return for your protection. The bill is now due. Pay up. And consider it a bargain since YOUR sons & daughters aren't in the field of fire.
@Gerashchenko_en
(1) odd how it never occurs to Russians that they themselves cause "Russophobia"; (2) sounds like Donbas II--let's foment a border clash and then invade; (3) these geniuses want to fight a two-front war bc already losing on one front? Go for it.

None of which has anything to do with Biden; inflation is world wide; OPEC is screwing the world on gas prices; the country has been full of illegals and drugs since I was a child and I'm a grandmother now. ,The Biden administration is making the dollar stronger; raised social
@Gerashchenko_en
That's fine...just have her clarify that Russia is not part of Europe; not European in values, in action, in education, in transparency, in democratic institutions, in anything. Russia is the Duchy of Muscovy + colonized territories it exploits for its imperium. NOT on our team!
@strategywoman
Talked to my dad by video-chat. It's very hot here--35 today. Tired bc we need to get the dogs walked very early in this heat. Posted my bedtime Ukraine Round-Up on my Facebook page. I remind people daily that there is a terrible war in Ukraine started by Russia's invasion. ❤️🇺🇦

If you think the Iranian gov forces aren't torturing and killing girls, you're not paying attention. So your opinion is a baseless 💩-post.

Who asked you to? Ukraine is asking for weapons, not for your kids. Ukrainians are clearly capabke of fighting for their own independence without your sad-sack weasel excuse-making.
@AleksandrX13
Best part, per one Ukrainian correspondent, was that even if this only makes a dent in oil revenue, the bigger issue is that these facilities were built with western infrastructure--which, once damaged/destroyed, cannot be replaced due to sanctions. 😁
@JewishWarrior13
I've always hated Holocaust movies; movies-to-make-gentiles-feel-good. The only one I really liked was Defiance, about the Bielski brothers. I DO give credit to Schindler's List for its popular impact--I left the theater and found people (not Jewish) sobbing in the parking lot.
@AleksandrX13
I wish we had a leader like him. 😕 I knew little about him, but when he said, "I need ammo, not a lift" he earned my undying admiration. That embodied the heroism I've seen displayed over and over by the Ukrainian people.

Ukraine was firing rockets at Russian occupation troops occupying internationally recognized Ukrainian territory after Russia's invasion of same. Lie better or get lost.
@Gerashchenko_en
Clearly Russophobia. Couldn't be invasion, war, genocide, filtration camps, child kidnapping, mass rape, destruction of hospitals, deliberate targeting of civilians, and other hallmarks of irridentist fascist imperialism...🤔
@BadBalticTakes
This needs to be amplified. Most of the world isn't aware of this--it is history & horror for the Baltic nations who endured it, not even a footnote in history texts in the West; my uni was modern European history, big focus on Third Reich and Stalin....this was never

@IAPonomarenko
The topic is not well covered anywhere--has been going on for a bit here and I have yet to understand it, despite reading (mostly western) shallow accounts of it, when they (seldom) appear. Even reading Xitter threads about it has been less than enlightening. 🥺

When Egypt occupied Gaza, they used it as a dumping ground for their troublemakers, their radicals, their Muslim Brotherhood agitators....you bet Egypt doesn't want them back! 🤣

Arrgh! Iron Dome is for short range rockets and even 🇮🇱 uses Patriots!! Arrows should work in theory but only field-tested, not battle tested (this would be a good time to test drive it in actual war).
@JewishWarrior13
News reports say it also calls for the immediate and unconditional release of the hostages....I say we don't do squat until the hostages are released.
@saintjavelin
Not surprised. But not limited to Russians--I still remember my fury at a group of foreign tourist girls posing for selfies ifo the destroyed Twin Towers brought down on 9/11--laughing, flirting with the camera, making sure they got as much destruction as possible in their pix.

Actually, you give us low-interest loans, which we have always repaid on time; since Obama's term, all those monies must be spent on American products. Your money DOES stay in America and funds your defense industry.

I wondered about that also...standing there, hands in pockets, chatting and no signs of grief, concern, checking her body...one shot of him with hands on head looking in another direction but mostly hardly concerned -- not a grieving father.

Ukrainians.....I am in awe. And I feel dreadful I am not doing, cannot do more to save them, to help win. This is heartbreaking, counting the cost of freedom.

There is food, water, medicine being trucked in but Hamas is stealing it (do keep up). Phones/internet went down last night. But amazingly, Hamas still has fuel to fire rockets, electricity to keep tunnel lights on. Cry harder.
@Maks_NAFO_FELLA
Really? I don't recall him telling Putin to stop shelling civilian cities with cluster munitions...or S400s or cruise missiles, or dropping two 500 kg bombs on a theater sheltering children. He can "call" all day but until the Useless Nations boots Russia out of the UN, in vain
