❗️It was from here that FPV drones that struck Russian strategic aircraft were launched. In the video, the roof with prepared drones and the room with the control unit inside.

The amount of naivety in the West is staggering, when it comes to dealing with Russia. The majority of Russians live their whole life by pushing others. It starts from childhood, permeates in every aspect of their lives and never ends. If you don’t push back, they will push you all eternity.

Three years ago, Russia launched an attack across the borders of #Ukraine. As Russian troops drove down roads in the hope of a short war & a victory parade in Kyiv, they received a mighty surprise. Reflections on 3 years of this full scale war.

What is the charge? Writing a post? An innocent online post?

While we’re banning books…

Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar.

Be. Like. Finland.

Insane footage shows Ukrainian drone equipped with shotguns shooting down Russian drones.

I now have 10,000 followers here but over 5.9 million at the other place. If you want Me to switch for good I need you to get the word out that I'm here, pathetically desperate for worship (just like in real life), and filled with even more contempt for you here than I was there.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #1,741,003!

One outcome of the ongoing war in Ukraine is that western nations can review their strategic decision making approaches for 21st century conflicts. But even if we don't learn from how the West has made decisions since February 2022, the Chinese are ($).

As we approach the end of 2023, it is time to review the year that was - the successes & the failures - in order to learn and adapt for 2023. This is the first of my two-part post-mortem of the #Ukraine War in 2023 ($). mickryan.substack.com/p/a-ukraine-...

While the West dithers, the future of the world is being decided in Ukraine

“Looking closely at Putin’s recent speech, it’s clear he’s more confident and willing to escalate the flames of war beyond Ukrainian borders. Dismissing his statements as just propaganda…as was done in 2021, would be a mistake.”
