So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

So incredibly heartened by my colleagues who are fighting like hell for a world where people have access to the arts and humanities, not because it serves STEM, but because this is about nourishing our humanity

Run-down or not, the UK, & NATO should have been contributing troops to an anti-Rus crusade, not thinking of fluffy peacekeeping, especially a job for the Orange God with no Brain. UK Military ‘Too Run Down’ to Lead Peacekeeping Mission in Ukraine: Ex-Army Chief thedefensepost.com/2025/02/20/u...

'Peacekeeping'? We need 'warfighting' troops in Ukraine, 'yesterday'.

Excellent thread. We can't wait for perfect conditions, perfect unanimity, perfect finances - we need those European governments that see the reality of the threat to take bold, decisive steps to defeat Russia in Ukraine.

Utterly disgraceful.

Trump fires Black joint chiefs chair Hegseth accused of promoting diversity

Let's be clear: participation in these talks would simply be a recognition of Russian geopolitical & geostrategic hegemony in the South Caucasus (including Georgia).

🇺🇦🇷🇺 The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) reports intensified Russian information warfare against Ukraine Russian intelligence is allegedly using fake accounts on social media and messaging apps to spread false claims of protests and unrest across Ukraine.

False witness police are the standard in Georgia at unlawful trials against regime opponents. Here we see activist Gela Khasaia's false witness policeman rehearsing his text that he had learned by heart before entering the courtroom. #terrorinGeorgia #GeorgiaProtests

I’m briefly in Texas, coming home to the UK tonight. I just talked to someone who thinks Boris is still the Prime Minister. Sigh. No wonder this venerable republic is on the rocks.

A great francophile myself, I'm bracing myself for the predictable cascade of tired gallophobic comments.

Protesters read out names of Georgians fallen in Russia’s war in Ukraine and chant “Glory to the Heroes!” after each name. This is our struggle too! They gave their lives for a free Georgia! 🇬🇪🇺🇦 #GeorgiaProtests

I note a survey of Brits said that a hefty 89% of those whose opinions were sought favoured President Zelensky. Excellent: may we take it the other 11% are Russophile, Trumpist Reform Party supporters?

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

From 1987, after his trip to russia, trump's position has not changed much. Just read this www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ilan...

Putin is not popular

purge incoming at the Pentagon

GLORY TO GEORGIA! 🇬🇪 GLORY TO UKRAINE! 🇺🇦 FUCK russia!

I imagine the President’s approval rating is skyrocketing. And by the President, there’s no one else I could mean but Zelenskyy. ✊🏻🇺🇦

Look how Putin deals with his enemies. In 2008, Russia failed to take Georgia by force, so they did it through elections. Now, Georgia’s 3rd president is jailed by Putin’s minion oligarch. Putin wants the same for Zelensky. Trump must stop enabling elections for Putin.

🇨🇿 Petr Pavel: "What value would elections have in a country that has been defending itself against aggression for 3 years? How can elections be organized with 1/5 of territory occupied and country under daily shelling? Calling president of such country a dictator requires a great deal of cynicism."

Congrats, America. We're now on Putin's side.

Couldn't put it better

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

I learned many interesting new things from this long read about Russia’s Su-57 Felon mildly advanced aircraft – but the one that surprised me most is that I have apparently been knighted. eandt.theiet.org/2025/02/18/s...

Russia is cerainly lining up the big guns of the Russian Intel/ maskirovka/Psyops & Info Ops world!

🇺🇦🇷🇺 Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) claims Kyiv is planning attacks on Russian diplomatic missions in Europe to derail peace talks. Possible targets include Germany, the Baltics, Scandinavia, Slovakia, and Hungary. Looks like Russia revealed its own plans.

That sounds a bit like Reflexive Control. I seriously doubt if Johnson has any insights into that, with its intimate crossovers with maskirovka and Psyops.

Splendid, but I'm ever-intrigued by all this talk of a peacekeeping operation: - what would be the official formation's posture towards the Ukrainian Army? Warfighting (hopefully against the Russians)? British Army 'absolutely ready' if ordered to deploy to Ukraine www.bbc.com/news/article...

'Started' the war. Russian New Generation Warfare is characterized by the use of deniable/ expendable local proxies, maskirovka throughout. It has been used across Georgia since the end of 2008. www.facebook.com/share/p/12Gt...
