Russia's financial conditions are now tighter than pre-invasion. They tightened last month when Russia's central bank hiked as Ruble fell. The West has the power to push Russia into deep financial crisis by cutting the G7 cap. Let's give Putin the financial crisis he deserves...

Pretty cool releasing this video saying that an attack on Sevastopol would be like Pearl Harbor just a few hours before an attack on Sevastopol that does not, in fact, result in the nonsense EM says he was worried about.

OS map used by the US military.

It's a very good thing that the map of another team, Ukraine Control Map, is used by the military.

That says something about the quality provided by volunteer OSINT/Mapping groups.

We are also working together with Ukraine Control Map: they track the units…

Nice map you've got there Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder
With all the small imperfections it's almost like it's a .kmz import of our map at uacontrolmap.com

Great job! Kod Ukraine Control Map Project Owl

Sometimes a mistake is much more than just a mistake. By not allowing Ukrainian drones to destroy part of the Russian military (!) fleet via #Starlink interference, Elon Musk allowed this fleet to fire Kalibr missiles at Ukrainian cities. As a result, civilians, children are…

This is why no nation, including the US, should ever outsource a single speck of their national security to Elon or any oligarch.

“a fear driven home by Musk’s conversations with senior Russian officials”

Firstly, why is Elon Musk having conversations with senior Russian officials?

Secondly, why is he buying into their propaganda and promoting their idiotic talking points? cnn.com/2023/09/07/pol…

The fact that they didn't even bother to look before, even though the Ukranians told them, is mind boggeling to me. Or they just didn't want to know, that is also an option.

This topic is rarely discussed, but I feel it's important to briefly talk about it. There's a significant focus on advanced weapons like ATACMS or F16, which are expected to reshape the battlefield.

While I don't dispute the significance of these weapons, I believe the constant…

In the early morning of 04 SEP a Russian Shahed crashed and exploded inside Romania (NATO member).

Some perspective. Despite the much higher personnel casualties this year, it's been treeline to treeline, field by field, building by building fighting for a long while now.

Reznikov, the Minister of Defense of Ukraine has been finally sacked by our President.

New minister Rustem Umerov is installed and I wish him to be the best minister Ukraine could have.

Regarding Reznikov. While he became famous on twitter for having #NAFO profile picture, and…

Brace yourselves, because russians have once again showcased unparalleled innovation. What you are looking at is a satellite image featuring a TU-95 strategic bomber covered with car tires. According to them, this should protect strategic bombers from drones

My current take on what's going on in Robotyne.
Russian forces are defending the trench system south of the town and are counter attacking towards the town. This is most likely the reason they keep claiming Ukraine have not liberated the town.

On day 555 of the war in Ukraine, here’s a reminder of some of the complacency voiced in Russia (and Belarus) prior to the invasion

Käsi ylös, joka olisi uskonut näkevänsä tämän sodan aikana vastaavan uutisen. On tämä kyllä huikeaa seurattavaa.

After boneheaded comments by 'anonymous sources' & commentary by mostly uninformed who have never seen combat, there's been increasing back-and-forth about how NATO shouldn't 'lecture' Ukraine's army on anything re their offensive.

IMHO, none of this is helpful. A 🧵1/13
