Sir, I’ve heard a lot of Ukrainians asking why your interview with Illia Ponomarenko filmed in 2022 was never released. Many of them have apparently been getting blocked by you on X.
Did you ever put out a public statement on this? People are confused as to why you withheld it. Can you clarify?

If the rebel forces make it to Homs, Damascus will be cut off from Russia’s naval base at Tartus.
If they then turn West, Russia cannot take its warships out of the Black Sea under the Montreux Convention laws while at war with Ukraine.

If you still have an active X account, please amplify Klitchko’s address to Rogan. His English is great and he has a chance to get on his show and counter disinformation.

Someone needs to go through and archive every single mention of Ukraine or Russia that David Sacks has made. They will not age well. He will eventually try to delete them.

I can never forgive them for this.

Poroshenko’s popularity in the 2014 election (Western dominant) vs Zelensky’s popularity in 2019 in the 1st/2nd round (South and East dominant).
Looking back at historical elections, it seems the pattern is that Western Ukraine picks the candidate with the better policy for defence.

Can’t upload my latest clip of Sam Nunn because it’s over 60 seconds. Annoying. Still not at parity on some critical things with X.

Backed up a lot of my historical threads in the thread reader app. The main ones are in there now and can be linked to if necessary here. Looks like it captures videos as well, which is great.

I've made a list of Ukrainian voices that address English readers, plus some amazing visual artists.
It's especially important we hear them now. Ukraine's Cossacks started electing their Hetmans in 1648, did you know? Democracy has deep roots there.

Watching the growth of Blue Sky is interesting. It’s very hard to start a new social network - usually because people are locked in to an existing one. There’s a graveyard filled with social startups somewhere that tried (Path, Ello, Google+). Zuck saw the opportunity and launched Threads early.

Quick note - my background was a photo I took in Dragobrat, if anyone knows where that is.

Alright, so bear with me, it may take some time for me to organize myself for a full transfer here. Gonna take a few weeks to cross follow everyone and get some long form content out of X. I don’t plan to leave completely. I still think the disinfo war is on X. But let’s see.

So like, the library of threads I’ve built up on Twitter are tough to let go of. How do I get them over here? Just unroll them all and repost or what should I do?
