I’m getting sick of this propaganda amplified on the left. Imagining a dictator committing genocide & war crimes will happily cooperate if just allowed to keep some of the invaded territory, is nonsense. Peak Neville Chamberlain, only worse. We’ve seen how this plays out #Ukraine 
It is also utter nonsense that Putin launched his genocidal war because “NATO”. This is a version of the excuses made for rapists. Coming up with all manner of ways to muddy who is to blame. Russia is responsible for its murderous acts, not counties looking to protect themselves.
As many have pointed out, it’s the bargain of the century to help #Ukraine defeat a mafia state committing war crimes. We spent WAY more💰& lost Canadian lives in Afghanistan without justification. Putin being appeased rather than stopped, means emboldening murderous dictators.
“Rebel News” is funded by #DarkMoney, in spite of always crying poor. A key source of this dark money? Well, ask yourselves: why is Rebel a constant source of Kremlin propaganda? Not just recently. Remember this from 2018? pressprogress.ca/ezra-levants-r… #Cdnmedia #CdnDisinfo #cdnpoli
Fast forward to before & since, #RussianInvasionOfUkraine. So-called “Rebel” so-called “News” has become a constant vector of 🇷🇺disinfo & propaganda. Including the role both played in #FluTruxKlan op. #cdnpoli
Since Russia’s attack on #Ukraine️, “Rebel News” has at times been brazen in amplifying Kremlin propaganda. #cdnmedia #cdnpoli #PutinWarCriminal

In today's episode of moral rot in Russia I will direct my readers to this thread. (Note: I was wrong on his POW status).
Some things that stand out we will start with the bad and move to the good. 1. Although convicted of murder and initially sentenced to the Gulag (special regime) in the Urals he was able to make it to a better prison where he could have a phone, internet and get married. Good
for him, bad for the system as it implies bribes. You don't give a violent felon with an escape history cushy gigs for free anywhere, let alone in a mafia state that runs on corruption. 2. He was recruited into a penal battalion where discipline was "severe", shoot you in the
So yesterday I talked about whataboutisms and the moral authority we enjoy by being able to look at our own past honestly. This is important as today's essay will highlight. First @WarMonitor3 is reporting that Russia has moved an additional 800 pieces of military equipment into
Kherson. If true this squares with my earlier read of history that predicted that Putin will become geographically target locked on the city instead of remaining mentally flexible.
He is (likely) fixated on a city because he cannot look at his own past honestly. He sees past success as due to his brilliance rather than (mostly) the result of actions/inactions by other parties and this read is reinforced by the army of yes men he has surrounded himself with.

When I saw scores of domestic & foreign adversary (including Kremlin linked) troll network accounts pushing #DutchFarmer op, I wondered, like the way #FluTruxKlan used 🇨🇦 as an op launching pad, if Netherlands were being used as a similar launching pad. Now enter this…#CdnNatSec
🧵 from February on this subject. #FluTruxKlan is & has always been an op. It was a destabilization operation that just *happened* to coincide with the lead up to #UkraineInvasion. Not a coincidence. There is a global autocracy project to topple democracy. #cdnNatSec #cdnpoli
Some added info here:
Żeby nie było nieporozumień: Ukraiński Krab został stracony na skutek "backfire" czyli albo przedwczesnego zapłonu umieszczanego w lufie ładunku miotającego albo zassania do przedziału załogi niedopalonego ładunku miotającego. 1/n
2/n przyczyną było rażące przekroczenie przez załogę szybkostrzelności oraz trzymanie ładunków modularnych nie w pojemnikach. Nie wiadomo czy Deugra nie była wyłączona - to niestety częsta praktyka Ukraińców :/
3/n Backfire zapalił jeden z ładunków. Myślę że jednak w tym wozie Deugra była aktywna skoro załoga zdołała uciec i wynieść ciężko poparzonego ładowniczego. Tj Deugra chyba stłumiła na chwilę ogień.

#svagaiature #aviationlovers #UkraineInvasion #tech #Turkey #aviationdaily #AutonomousVehicles
The project began when the USA put an embargo on Turkey for UAV, due the fear of them being used to taget PKK groups inside and outside of the nation. Bayrack started developing a drone on the request of turkish government, and in 2014 the TB-12 made its maiden flight. (2/5)
A year later the weapon system had been already tested.
Many problems, regarding its components arose with time: the engine used, made in Austria, was only certified for civilian use; while parts of its imaging system and bomb rack was suspended... (3/5)

By the late 1950s, Soviet commanders realised that the T-55's 100 mm gun was incapable of penetrating the frontal armour of newer Western tanks, such as the Centurion and M48 Patton, with standard armour-piercing shells (2/13)
It was decided to up-gun the T-55 with a 115 mm smoothbore cannon, capable of firing APFSDS rounds. Experimental trials showed that the T-55 was inherently unsuited to mount the larger new cannon, and work therefore began on a new tank. (3/13)

.@DrSJaishankar: You need to develop an operational matrix to respond to a changing world. In our case, especially since 2014-15, we have had greater clarity on how we engage the world—concentric circles, neighbourhood first, but also a conscious policy engaging the major powers.

An easy place to start cataloguing the cost of a war is in military hardware. We will take a sample from the hard work of @oryxspioenkop each day to begin to show some of the overheads of warfare.

@oryxspioenkop #TankOfTheDay 1. The T-64 tank was famously expensive in its day, costing 143,000 Rubles in 1973 (approx $408k today). This T-64BV was destroyed on 03/16/2022.

2/ Humanitarian Impact. Ukrainian refugees top 6.67 million, with over 6.6 million IDPs throughout Ukraine. 27 European countries are hosting Ukrainian Refugees, with many eastern European nations taking the weight of this humanitarian crisis.
