I dag er vores bog om 🇷🇺 militære evner i lyset af krigen i 🇺🇦 på gaden. Det er i dag præcis tre år siden, at de 🇷🇺 styrker gennemførte, hvad de troede skulle være et afgørende angreb på 🇺🇦, med henblik på en magtovertagelse. Sådan gik det heldigvis ikke.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

This is alerting. Another alert to watch out for is a change in discourse: russia's war in Ukraine seems now to be 'word-laundered' as 'a conflict' or 'the Ukraine conflict'. This is not a 'conflict between two state actors'. It is a war caused by one actor. A war is a war is a war. russia's war.

The US will be on the losing side of this vote by like 140+ to 5. That’s how all previous Ukraine votes have gone, but the US was on the winning side previously. In the process, it will continue to betray Ukraine, undermine the UN charter’s core principle, and demonstrate its global isolation.
