Excellent read, as always. Thanks Phillips!

phillipspobrien.bsky.social•505 days ago

The last point I feel very strongly about. In this time of horrors, what Ukraine is doing is worthy of our deepest respect and gratitude.

lisafellaantifa.bsky.social•503 days ago

And this is why I support and admire Ukraine

Thank you for yet another very thoughtful & readable essay.

huwsayer.bsky.social•505 days ago

Exactly.

ericdoherty.bsky.social•504 days ago

Well . . . sort of. Ethical messaging is always part of a war effort. Ukraine has made a choice that I think, on balance, helps their war effort. Multiple countries with far-right leaders are making other choices . . . and killing large numbers of children.

A extremely important point you make. I don’t know if I could be this restrained.

rikkloppenburg.bsky.social•505 days ago

If history is anything to go by there are few countries that have been this restrained.

paperdeks.bsky.social•505 days ago

Very well written 👏

kristjan17.bsky.social•505 days ago

Ukrainians are the best of us. I admire them so much.

huntroyd.bsky.social•505 days ago

The way this is presented here differs entirely from the Ondatra site. Everything runs as it should do

garethknapman.bsky.social•505 days ago

Great like always. Thank you.

brendanogrady.bsky.social•505 days ago

Your write ups are fantastic Phillips, thanks for bringing them to Bluesky....

jfitzgaynard.bsky.social•505 days ago

Thank you once again, Phillips. More power to your elbow!

Very well written. Some people understandably are impatient for Ukraine to take back territory, but patience is needed. Every day I see evidence that they are destroying the russian army and are headed for eventual victory.

drwilke.bsky.social•504 days ago

Thanks as always, Phil. I think this is your best letter yet. I so appreciate what you do!

rikkloppenburg.bsky.social•505 days ago

Germany withholding their Taurus' is becoming more ridiculous by the month. Both France and GB have vouched for Ukraine's reliability in not delivering strikes inside of Russia with Western long-range weapons.

rikkloppenburg.bsky.social•505 days ago

On top of sending every available bit of long-range weaponry, more should be done to develop Ukraine's own abilities on that front. They said they have the technology but lack the resources to produce in mass. Wouldn't be that hard to send that without telling anyone I'd imagine.

Thanks Phillips. And please tell your family I want to thank them too for letting you spend your precious time on these updates.

cruisingduck.bsky.social•505 days ago

Thank you for your continuous work, Prof. OBrien. I'm happy to have found you here on Bluesky again.
