“Biden Went To Kyiv Because There’s No Going Back” by Anne Applebaum

How will the Russians respond to Biden’s visit of Kyiv?

I keep scouring the bird site for more #Ukraine sources. (Honestly, I should look at Telegram…) This was a brilliant 24 hours for AFU. Luhansk is next.

Fascinating and hilarious interview with Nikolai Patrushev, Putin’s top henchman and heir apparent. He lives in another world and that is why negotiations with them are pointless.

Like his predecessor, Corporal Hitler, Vova thinks he can play wartime commander, too.

No wonder they got their asses kicked all over the Donets River.

#Ukraine - Kamil Galeev from The Wilson Center is one of my favorites for analyzing the war. Here's his latest. This is why I often sign off with "They're really going to lose this war, aren't they?"

From #Ukraine, A T-71 was blown up and the turret went about 100 meters into the air. That's no surprise.

What *is* surprising is this: the incident took place 100 km inside separatist territory, and only 13 km from the Russian border. TL:DR - These are insurgency tactics by the Ukrainians against Russians. They're successfully executed and they can take place anywhere in Russian-occupied territory.

They're really going to lose this war.

In honor of the liberation of Ternova by #Ukraine forces, pushing Russia back over its border, I have updated my #CoSo account to PRO. #CoSoPro

I was going to ask a #Russia #Ukraine poll about what Putin would say in today’s speech. Glad I didn’t.

As Michael Weiss said on Twitter “ No air show, no mass mobilization, no declaration of war, a few no-show tanks, allusions to the “moral degradation” of the West (read: gays and the Wizarding World of cultural backlash), & much ado about Castle Wolfenstein fantasies.”

He really is losing, isn’t he?
