@DavidCoxRJ Well said, David. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, expertise and experience. I find your posts to be valuable, even when (sometimes especially when) you are not correct. Please keep sharing.

Pray for these warriors who still risking their lives and fighting on the front line🙏 Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦

This is Simo Häyhä. Otherwise known as “The White Death”. He fought against the ruSSians for Finland in the Winter War of 1939-40. In less than 100 days, Simo is credited with decommunising 542 Red Army personnel. Making him the deadliest sniper in history. This is truly mind blowing when you consider the equipment he used and the conditions he fought in. Simo did not like Telescopic sights and instead preferred to carry out his work using the Iron Sight on his M/28-30 (a Finnish produced Mosin variant). This weapon accounted for 259 of his credited decommunisations. The rest were delivered using a Suomi sub machine gun. For a total of 542 in less than 100 days. The Winter War lasted from 30th November 1939 to the 13th March 1940. This means that Simo fought in some of the toughest conditions imaginable. The temperatures reached as low as -40 degrees celsius. At that time of year in Finland the days are very short(6-10 hours), which makes his high total even more surprising. On March 6th 1940 Simo was hit in the jaw with an explosive round. Initially he was placed with the dead, only located again when an officer ordered a soldier to search for him. The soldier found Simo unconscious but still alive. The bullet had destroyed his upper jaw, his left cheek and lower jaw. It would take many surgeries to reconstruct his face. In spite of these injuries, Simo volunteered to fight in the Continuation War, fought from 1941-1944. He was excused from service due to the injuries to his face. The Winter War ended 7 days after Simo’s injury. Although ruSSia gained some territory as a result, the campaign was a huge failure and embarrassment for ruSSia. They had lost over 150’000 soldiers in less than 100 days without achieving their ultimate aims. The failure likely contributed to the total number of officers killed in Stalins Red Army purge of 1941. But that’s a topic for another tweet. Simo Häyhä was a hero who did extraordinary things in extraordinary circumstances. When asked how he became so proficient at his craft he replied simply “practise”. He died in April 2001. He was 96. Whenever I see his picture I am reminded that my ruSSophobia will never be sufficient.

This is one of the reasons why people in the West should not harbor any illusions about the so-called Russian liberal opposition. Maria Pevchikh is a prominent figure in the Russian liberal opposition, known for her noteworthy contributions as a journalist and her active involvement in the Anti-Corruption Foundation Upon scrolling through Twitter, it definitely looks like she prioritizes issues like shark incidents over the destruction of Ukrainian residential buildings, the loss of innocent lives, or other crimes committed by Russia, even in the current month. The primary focus of many individuals within the Russian opposition seems to be virtue signaling to Western elites in the hope of securing funding and support for a post-war Russia, with the intention of taking cozy governmental seats once enough blood has been shed by Ukrainians to collapse the Kremlin To be frank, I despise Russian opposition as a whole. They have demonstrated little to no value, considering the substantial amount of time that has passed without them forming an alternative government or even a unified combat entity comparable to the Freedom of Russia Legion. Receiving accolades such as Oscars and engaging in sophisticated conversations with a bottle of wine alone cannot bring about the collapse of Putin's regime. Creating videos within an echo chamber about corruption in Russia may not have a substantial impact on bringing about change. Corruption in Russia? No way! Navalny's endorsement of the annexation of Crimea and support for the chauvinistic "Russian march" is a fact. But in order to gain acceptance in the West you had to hide imperialistic ambitions under the guise of a liberal democratic movement You are like bed bugs of politics - constantly searching for a new host to leech on funding but too little and insignificant to make a noticeable effect

Haha, just bumped into this brave NAFO fighter fearlessly carrying a rubber shark in the streets of Vilnius. Your vigorous crusade against the dead Russian tourist who was eaten alive in front of his family is truly heroic. Never give up, Lionheart.

Finland's Minister for European Affairs Anders Adlercreutz performed the Ukrainian folk song "Red Viburnum" on his cello in memory of those who have given their lives for freedom. 🥹 "We stand by you. Finland supports you. Ukraine will prevail." ✊🇫🇮🇺🇦

This is a fantastic thread that provides a template for understanding and responding to Russian tactics of intimidation and aggression (or that of any malevolent actor who does not seek partnership). Pacifists and appeasers, pay attention!

The War in Ukraine in American context In such a polarised country as the U.S., Russian invasion of Ukraine was immediately weaponised by the opposing political forces and became a basis for mutual accusations. Some of these accusations sound very reasonable 🧵

What happens in the days after you die? It will be horrible for your loved ones. I just learned about something you can do to make that easier for them: The Green Box Exercise.

Wrote an essay for @ForeignAffairs where I explain why Ukraine must win, Russia must be pushed out, and the Russian aggressor and war criminals must face justice. No peace reached before these goals are achieved can ensure anyone’s security. Read here ⬇️ foreignaffairs.com/russian-federa…

@OccupyDemocrats @MoondanceGiving One of the problems is that slavery Is taught as the history of black people and not the history of white people.

Greetings to #NAFOfellas at the first-ever #NAFOSummit in Vilnius. #NAFO is a living example of how to disarm Russian disinformation with humour, intelligence and enthusiasm. Behind every Fella is a real person who believes in #Ukraine’s victory. Thank you for your service.
