Comparisons to Nazi Germany should never be made lightly.
But what do we do when #russia is attempting genocide in Ukraine 🇺🇦 and the similarities begin to outweigh the differences?

🌏 The World Has Changed From Multilateral To Multipolar 🌎
This is a transition from a world guided by shared rules, institutions, & US-led cooperation (multilateralism) to one where several, competing power centers (poles) prioritize their own interests (multipolarity).
Thread 1/21🧵Times of War
In Mykolaiv, a Shahed drone with a warhead of about 100 kilograms pierced the roof and floors of a residential building but, by sheer miracle, did not detonate.
This our daily life in Ukraine because our neighbors are genocidal war criminals.
Tomorrow marks one year since Ukraine accepted the unconditional ceasefire proposed by the Trump administration.
For 365 days since, russia has rejected even a halt to hostilities and chosen WAR. Every. Single. Day.

russia is helping Iran not because it loves Iran, but because it loves oil prices going up, it likes attention shifting away from the war crimes russian troops are committing in Ukraine, and most importantly, it helps Iran because russia hates America 🇺🇸

"Russian state hackers are engaged in a large-scale global cyber campaign to gain access to Signal and WhatsApp accounts belonging to dignitaries, military personnel and civil servants," per the Dutch intelligence and security services MIVD and AIVD.

putin needs a solid reason to end russia’s war. And the Free World must give it.
The kremlin will spin retreat into triumph, but only when pressing on becomes riskier than stopping.

The last point is not a conjecture
One can and should ask russians about their attitudes towards the USA 🇺🇸

„Die Ukraine kann und sollte ihre Grenzen wiederherstellen. Warum die transatlantische Allianz immer wieder über ihre eigene Stärke stolpert – und offenbar mehr Angst vor einer Niederlage Russlands als vor dessen Sieg hat – bleibt ein Rätsel.“

Iran fires Shaheds at the Gulf. UAE orders 5,000 Ukrainian interceptors, Qatar 2,000.
TAF founder: "It's not enough to have something like a Patriot." Kyiv produces 1,500+ interceptors daily — double its own needs. Only obstacle: pilot training takes months.

Enjoying every hour of the warm weather — and still can't believe we survived that winter. #russiaisaterroriststate
This photo was taken this morning in a residential area of Kharkiv. You know… before the events in the Middle East, there was a sense of certainty that maybe, sooner or later, everything would work out. But it’s like a chain reaction. The world is spinning out of control…
🔴 A Shahed drone costs roughly $30–50k
🔴 A Patriot interceptor costs $3.7–4M
russia has been launching hundreds of Shaheds at 🇺🇦 cities in a single night for 4 years now!
If the plan was to counter cheap mass drones with multi-million-dollar interceptors, is anyone surprised it is failing?
Absolutely phenomenal video 🎯, but you have to speak Ukrainian to watch the original (there’s an AI translation into English)
Big kudos to @yarko.bsky.social 👏👏👏👏👏 youtu.be/rib3QI4ECwU?...
Nailed it!
Iranians are asking if we have any spare air defence to stop US and Israel bombing them. I told them this will only prolong the war & that they should trade land for peace
Excellent as always from @cjcmichel.bsky.social
Do follow Casey if you aren't already - one of the sharpest minds on Russia
As many casualties as the US had in WWII. An offensive that's moving slower than WWI. An economy that's now in stagflation. And a wild collapse in geopolitical influence.
Call Russia's invasion of Ukraine what it is: the greatest strategic failure we've seen in decades.
