🛡️🇺🇦🔱 History rhymes in interesting times

I am a chill enigma wrapped in a tortilla, a Meat Popsicle burrito. Be kind to eachother. Say no to Fascism. Self-educated military historian of 50+ years. Friend of Ukraine. 🛡️🇺🇦🔱 I fight Climate Crisis like your grand-kid's life depends on it (it does).
Ukraine's Way of War vs Russia's couldn't be more different.
Ukraine's military goes to extreme lengths to save injured soldiers. Meanwhile, Russia's wounded-to-killed ratio is worse than during WWI. My latest in The Atlantic (gift article):
We-The-People have begun to eject the traitors. This will take several months. Please stand by. We deeply regret the harm and chaos MAGA has caused, and will work to make things right. Meanwhile, the US Military will stand by their Oaths. They will assure the Peaceful Transition of Power.
The US Gov't & parties have been hacked. We-The-People are about to sweep Trump from power. Sorry for his chaos. Milley's Farewell Speech told the US military it would be tested, & reminded them of their Oath. OBJECTIVE: Generals retain power to assure peaceful transition of power. Please stand by.
Russian papers call the Anchorage deal Cargo 300 (WIA). The insightful @bbcstever.bsky.social 's Reading Russia is always worth a watch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2D5r...

Nobody needs this kind of "expertise".
National Security Action, the group co-founded by Jake Sullivan, is dusting itself off and gearing up for 2028. But a lot of Dems just wish the Biden bros would just go away. As one Democrat told me, “They’re all canceled and they don’t realize it.” My latest. puck.news/the-return-o...
Check out Rubio's blink-rate. This is betrayal, and he knows it. Everything he is saying goes against all the traditions that he used to run for office on, and everything he learned as a Miami Cubano.
Rubio on Russia-Ukraine: "It's not our war. It's a war on another continent."
If you want to follow this closely, start at the BEGINNING. Hat tip to @jkbjournalist.bsky.social for breaking this case open to the light of day doing investigative journalism for the Miami Herald. Also, release the #EpsteinFiles. All of them.
Trump is OUT OF TOUCH with US Voters on Europe & Ukraine 80% of voters support collective defense, and 62% view NATO favorably. Only 7% want Russia to win in Ukraine. When Congress is no longer MAGA dominated (soon), expect better. Hang on Ukraine. www.reaganfoundation.org/reagan-insti...
Why Do Pedophiles Love Russia? Raping children isn't against the law there. He's disgusting on so many levels.
⚡️'This is a disgrace' — Ukraine condemns Woody Allen's participation in Moscow film festival.
He killed 83 people in Samoa, most of them children. His disinformation was deadly, full stop. He vaccinates his own children while pretending to be anti-vax for political power. Despicable. Fuck this guy.
Spreading misinformation and generating distrust of vaccines isn't just reckless, it could be deadly. Somebody should let RFK Jr. know that vaccines save lives. Full stop.
100% True. Agent Orange gave all our cards away. We can't say he's a failure, since he succeeds for Putin. Sadly.
Trump has no cards www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
Lukashenko: people have freedom of choice in Belorussia. Pretending to answer @bbcstever.bsky.social's question. (Reminder: He lost the 2020 election. Putin sent Russian troops in to keep his puppet in power. He just "won" a 7th term in 2025 with 87%.) youtu.be/yth-t16gFkk
Glad their racism is going overt. It is going to backfire, providing Americans with an ever-expanding wakeup call: we need to say this isn't who we are. Also, what kind of asshole "cancels" the Tuskegee Airmen?
Similar cancellations happened at the Army War College in Carlisle PA. Canx history courses about Black Soldiers and Women in Combat.
Sadly, the US has been letting these moments pass since 2008. The consequences are being felt directly in Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova, Belarus, Armenia... and the US. @general-ben.bsky.social is on target as usual.
The US has allowed these moments to pass since 2008, which is how we got to now: Ukraine, Georgia... and the US as well.
“Don’t waste your independence!” Powerful warning from Polish Hero of post-WWII #EdwardRaczynski. Unfortunately it feels as if we are wasting our Independence in our failure to adequately support Ukraine and Georgia and our failure to fully defend independence and democracy in our own countries.

I'd love to know how much $$ Russia, China, Iran and others spent for Trump and against Harris in 2024, upgraded version of the 2016 election. EU has laws with teeth to protect Social Media users. US: not. This view from Ireland spells out how, why and where. www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2024...
EU needs to be less ‘polite’ in resisting Russian attempts to sway elections
Worldview: Attacks include sabotage, assassinations, parcel bombs, cyber attacks, electoral interference, social media disinformation campaigns and the testing of military preparedness

Nativity 2024: Just Be Kind. Whether you say Merry Christmas or something else... The world feels poisoned against itself, angry and unhappy. I think the best thing we can each do to push back is to be kind. Respect their human rights and human needs. I hope that you and yours are happy.
