Nobody has all the details but one thing is clear: this counteroffensive will rewrite military history. #Ukraine has stuff in the pipeline the Russians will never see coming. And much of what they do see coming, they won’t be able to stop anyway. #SpringIsComing 🇺🇦
@berlin_bridge - Jessica Berlin
We’re about to see what a decentralized, horizontal, innovative high-tech force can do. #Ukraine may be underfunded, undermanned & underequipped compared to RU. But those tactical, adaptive 🇺🇦 strengths deliver what $ can’t buy & training can’t teach. Get ready for some stunners
@berlin_bridge - Jessica Berlin
Our moral and practical support is needed through this counteroffensive and beyond, more than ever. Remember, even after success on D-Day it still took another year to win the war. Have hope, and keep helping #Ukraine 💙💪🇺🇦 https://t.co/k8qoBFY14B

When the German battleship Bismarck was sunk, British warships, who only minutes before were firing on it, rescued over 100 survivors. A British midshipman even risked his own life attempting to save a German sailor. But that wasn't all.
@AgentMax90 - Agent Max Remington, Americanist 🇺🇸
1 survivor died the next day due to his wounds. The British performed a burial at sea, w/full military honors. They allowed the German survivors to bid farewell to their comrade, even lent a harmonica so one could perform "Ich Hatt' Einen Kameraden."
@AgentMax90 - Agent Max Remington, Americanist 🇺🇸
Even some of the British sailors cried during the memorial. An unbelievable display of humanity. Keep in mind - Bismarck sunk HMS Hood, taking 1,418 Brits down w/it. & yet, in that moment, all hard feelings were put aside to honor one man who fought on the wrong side of the war.
@AgentMax90 - Agent Max Remington, Americanist 🇺🇸
These men saw so much death, nobody could blame them for being nihilistic. Yet somehow, they never lost their humanity. They understood the enemy is still a human being. & once the fighting stops, you let the hard feelings go. Men of honor, really.
@AgentMax90 - Agent Max Remington, Americanist 🇺🇸
The people taking down the Reconciliation Monument are savages. They don't know anything about honor. They have little humanity. They'll piss on graves if they can get away w/it. They'll dig up the bodies of their own ancestors if it means they get to be part of the ruling class.
@AgentMax90 - Agent Max Remington, Americanist 🇺🇸
So yeah, take all the statues down. Those who destroy can't build, anyway. In the end, all they'll prove is that they can't do better than savages.

THREAD: On Monday Israel’s Defense Minister, Yoav Gallant, stated that Hamas’s military force, the Martyr Izz-al-Din al-Qassam Brigades as well as the Jerusalem Battalions of Islamic Jihad (PIJ) were on the verge of collapse.
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
His views have been echoed by most other Israeli military and political leaders, including Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, Chief of the General Staff Herzl Halevi and Ronen Bar, Director of the domestic intelligence agency known as Shin Bet or Shabak.
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
These assessments were augmented by reports that Hamas and PIJ leaders are no longer able to command or communicate with their forces, and that the latter, feeling abandoned, are deserting and surrendering in growing numbers.
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
The battle for control over the northern Gaza Strip was effectively over.
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
Wednesday, Israel announced that ten of its soldiers were killed in a single encounter with the Qassam Brigades in the Shuja’iyya neighborhood on the eastern fringes of Gaza City, i.e. the neighborhood closest to the boundary with Israel.
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
This is the highest daily toll of military casualties reported by Israel since 7 October. Significantly, those killed included a lieutenant colonel who was a battalion commander in the Golani Brigade, a colonel who led a commando brigade, and four majors.
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
More than two dozen soldiers and officers were wounded in the incident.
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
Significantly, the Israeli soldiers were not killed in street battles but in a carefully prepared and executed two-stage ambush.
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
According to initial Israeli media reports, Israeli and Palestinian forces were engaged in house-to-house combat in the Qasaba quarter of Shuja’iyya, and an Israeli force, monitored by video surveillance, entered a building from which Palestinian fighters had withdrawn.
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
An explosive device that had been concealed within the building was detonated, killing or injuring a number of Israeli soldiers. When a second force arrived to rescue them the building, which had been previously mined, was blown up over their heads.
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
Further south, Israel airdropped supplies to soldiers near Khan Yunis, indicating the force was surrounded and could not be supplied by land from depots within Israel located only a few kilometers away.
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
The villages east of Khan Yunis and closer to the boundary with Israel – Khuza’a, Bani Suhaila, Abasan al-Kabira and Abasan al-Saghira – as well as Qarara to its north continue to be bombed by the Israeli air force and artillery around the clock.
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
Ergo, Israeli land forces have yet to establish control over them. Intermittent air raids and battles also continue to be reported in Beit Lahia and Beit Hanun, the northernmost towns in the Gaza Strip that Israel entered on 26 October on the first day of its ground operation.
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
And Hamas and PIJ last week fired their heaviest rocket barrages on greater Tel Aviv region since the war began.
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
Although Israel several days ago reported that it had completed its encirclement of Jabalya Refugee Camp and the adjoining town of Jabalya-Nazla, located to the northeast of Gaza City, and expected to complete their subjugation within a day or two,
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
satellite imagery suggested encirclement was still a long way off. Nor have Israeli ground forces yet penetrated the inner neighborhoods of Gaza City.
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
Separately, Israeli media this week reported that its military forces have suffered over 5,000 wounded since (including) 7 October, with some 2,000 expected to have permanent disabilities, such as amputations.
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
And yesterday the military reported that some twenty per cent of its casualties were the result of friendly fire.
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
Given that Israel is operating under military censorship the above can be assumed to be an at best incomplete and partial account. There are persistent suspicions Israeli casualties are significantly higher,
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
and we also for example know very little about Israeli casualties resulting from daily attacks launched from Lebanon by the much more powerful and better-armed Hizballah.
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
Prohibiting foreign journalists, investigators, and human rights monitors from entering the Gaza Strip is only side of the coin. Restricting what Israeli media are permitted to report, for not only operational but also political considerations, is the other.
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
The daily video clips released by Hamas, PIJ, and Hizballah, which document direct encounters with Israeli forces and whose authenticity has not been seriously questioned, certainly suggest a higher level of Israeli casualties.
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
Israeli clips by contrast show soldiers firing into an empty classroom, or a stripped down captive (in this case a middle-aged restaurant owner forced to play the part of Qassam commander)
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
successively handing over a machine gun apparently concealed in his shorts with different hands in multiple takes of Unconditional Surrender in Tokyo Bay. And, of course, hundreds of Hagari tunnel memes.
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
As previously noted, Israel has yet to assassinate a senior Hamas or PIJ leader, and has thus far killed more UN staff, journalists, and health care workers (take your pick) than Hamas commanders.
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
Its most visible achievements to date consist of raising an Israeli flag over Al-Shifa Hospital, and more recently blowing up an empty UN school in Beit Lahia to the deafening cheers of a company of Israeli soldiers cowering behind a sandy embankment hundreds of yards away.
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
Given the overwhelming disparity in military power, Israel indisputably has the capacity to fully conquer the Gaza Strip and deal a severe blow to Hamas and PIJ. If it so chooses.
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
The question, rather, is whether it is prepared to invest the (Israeli, not Palestinian) blood, treasure, and time required to do so. In this respect Israel’s military doctrine, that its wars need to be short, decisive, and fought on enemy territory, has already been shattered.
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
Instead, Israel is fighting a war of attrition on multiple fronts. This is also imposing significant economic costs. Aside from the obvious price tag, it includes hundreds of thousands of reservists mobilised and removed from the work force since 7 October,
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
reductions in foreign investment and tourism, ships avoiding the journey to the port of Eilat, and other losses that can’t be compensated by US taxpayers. The so-called Gaza envelope surrounding the Gaza Strip, and the far north abutting the Lebanese border,
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
account for the bulk of Israel’s agricultural production, including fruits, vegetables, poultry and eggs. Not only have the residents of these regions been evacuated, but the foreigners who do the actual work are no longer arriving.
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
It is probably true that Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu would, for personal as well as political reasons, like to see this war prolonged. As would his extreme-right brothers in arms. But those who are most determined to prosecute the war against the Gaza Strip,
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
and Lebanon if given half a chance, are the security establishment. It is they who on 7 October lost the confidence of the Israeli public, and of their US and European sponsors.
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
They are therefore determined to restore both this confidence and Israel’s power of deterrence vis-à-vis not only the Palestinians but the Arabs in general. No one likes to place their personal security in the hands of an incompetent weakling,
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
or maintain a strategic partnership with one, but loves such an adversary. This explains the frenzied, genocidal violence unleashed by Israel against the Gaza Strip.
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
It is not only a lust for revenge and campaign to either expel the Palestinians to the Sinai desert or make the Gaza Strip unfit for human habitation.
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
It is equally to impress upon friend and foe alike that Israel remains a mighty regional power deserving of their support and fear.
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
Israel’s problem, as previously noted and demonstrated yet again in Shuja’iyya yesterday, is that its military is a highly efficient killing machine but mediocre when it comes to combat. You can’t conquer territory using only an air force.
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
And ground operations are by contrast not cost free. As for reports that Israel has begun flooding the Gaza Strip tunnel network, such wars are rarely if ever decided by silver bullets. Destroying the water supply in the Gaza Strip is probably the more important motivation.
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
The Israeli military’s strength is colonization and genocide, not urban warfare. Even when pitted against a comparatively weak adversary that has been under occupation for half a century and blockade for almost two decades,
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
two months have proven insufficient for decisive progress. Suffice it to say that Israeli, US, and European leaders have, in unison, been insisting Israel is fighting for its very existence and survival.
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
Not against Egypt or Iran, or even Hizballah. But against Hamas and PIJ, which between them have zero fighter jets, zero tanks, zero battleships, and zero anti-aircraft systems.
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
Reeling from the attacks of 7 October, Israeli public opinion was initially solidly behind Israel’s war effort. The campaign by the families of captives in the Gaza Strip to bring their loved ones home alive at any cost has eaten into this consensus,
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
particularly after the Palestinians demonstrated that negotiations and truce, rather than insane violence, was the only option in this regard. In a society more sensitive to military than civilian casualties, mounting losses such as those in Shuja’iyya will have a further impact.
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
But as with the US in Vietnam, a crisis of confidence in political and military leaders who repeatedly offer rosy predictions, mistaking mass killings of civilians for imminent military victory, can be decisive.
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
People don’t like being lied to on matters of national security. What scares them even more is a realisation they’re not being lied to, but that their leaders are delusional.
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
Aware of the dangers, expect Israel’s onslaught to escalate yet further and reach a murderous crescendo potentially without parallel since the Second World War.
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
But there are increasing indications this is the darkness before dawn. When US and European leaders who have repeatedly demonstrated their thorough disdain for Palestinian life begin to advocate for a reduction in the pace of mass killings,
@MouinRabbani - Mouin Rabbani
it’s clear that as far as their real interests are concerned this war is gradually running its course. END

The last 9 years of the Ukraine/Russia conflict simply explained for those who haven't paid attention. This war is more about Germany and the EU than Ukraine/Russia. Germany and the EU were getting cozy with Russia and their gas....The US didn't like this. 🧵#UkraineRussiaWar

Поставлю тред в закрепы, чтобы дописывать по настроению: Почему мы с мужем переезжаем из 🇩🇪 в 🇷🇺 Пунктов будет много.
@eviliam13 - eviliam
1. Самая главная причина - это семья. Когда тебе 20 и ты едешь покорять заграницу на юношеском задоре, то в приоритетах стоят карьера, деньги, путешествия, идеалистическая свОбОдА и прочее.
@eviliam13 - eviliam
И вот мы 8 лет живём вдали от родного дома. Близкие заболевают, внезапно умирают, а ты вращаешься где-то вдали, отрезанный от возможности им помочь. Туда же возможности разделить радость событий: свадеб, рождений детей. Далеко не всегда ты можешь сорваться на недельку обратно
@eviliam13 - eviliam
У нас с супругом в 🇷🇺 остались мамы и бабушки. К тому же мы в начале года пережили внезапную смерть моей родной сестры и одной бабушки мужа. И нас дома не хватало. Как и не хватало семейной поддержки нам в Германии. Окей, можно стиснуть зубы и перетерпеть - но ради чего?
@eviliam13 - eviliam
Поженились мы с мужем тоже вдвоём в Германии, дело было в ковид. Только я и он, и консульство России. Ни одного родственника. Да, мы запланировали переиграть свадьбу нормально по возвращении. Однако четырёх близких людей там уже не будет.
@eviliam13 - eviliam
2. В продолжение темы семьи - мы думаем завести ребёнка. Я не подпишусь на эту авантюру без вспомогательных рук бабушек и прабабушек (которые все тоже очень ждут своих новых ролей). На моих глазах росла младшая сестра, так что тащить все вдвоём, еще и с первенцем - найн, данке.
@eviliam13 - eviliam
3. Окей, беременность. Ни в DE, ни в RU я не доверюсь случайному специалисту. А по совокупности знакомств в медицине в России их набирается больше, причём спецов от боженьки. Да и в Германии у нас очень плохой опыт с медициной, оттого заводить тут детеныша страшно втройне.
@eviliam13 - eviliam
4. Доходы и карьерный рост Уже сейчас выходит так, что наши с мужем стартовые зарплаты в России = наши нынешние зп в Германии. Только в РФ у нас есть перспектива за год умножить заработок на 2, а в Германии - даже близко нет. А траты в 🇷🇺 ниже.
@eviliam13 - eviliam
Напрашивается вопрос, кем мы работаем в 🇩🇪. Муж - школьный учитель английского, магистр англистики/американистики по немецкому диплому. Переводчик по российскому. Я - специалист по маркетингу высших учебных заведений.
@eviliam13 - eviliam
Работаю ~5 лет в немецком вузе в администрации. По рос. диплому я тоже переводчик. Сейчас заканчиваю магу в 🇩🇪 по германистике, с профилем «Когнитивная лингвистика и медиапсихология». И - сюрпрайз! - у меня есть ещё брошенное немецкое образование на политического журналиста.
@eviliam13 - eviliam
Мы с супругом давно мечтаем открыть своё дело в сфере иностранных языков. И на наш европейский опыт спрос в России сейчас бешеный. В том числе потому, что в Инсте у меня блог о Германии и языках 4 года. Желающих заниматься именно у меня - много.
@eviliam13 - eviliam
Почему не начать свое дело в Германии? Потому что это нафиг не нужный геморрой. В 🇩🇪 в 90% случаев выгоднее работать «на дядю». И это неплохо, но нам больше не подходит - мы профессионально уперлись в потолок, а нам всего около 30 лет. Расти в 🇩🇪 нам почти некуда.
@eviliam13 - eviliam
Плюс то, сколько раз нам блочили счета на основании паспортов РФ за прошлый год, полностью отвернуло нас от идеи начинать предпринимательство в Германии. Да и негативный опыт близких друзей в открытии сейчас в DE счёта под юрлицо будучи россиянином. Берется не любой банк.

Hamas has 3 co-founders #1 Ibrahim Yazuri Born in 1941 in Beit Dras, near Ashdod. On 21 May 1948, Israeli forces entered his village & indiscriminately slaughtered many women & children trying to flee the violence. Yazuri survived. source: Jawad, "Zionist Massacres," p.113
@_ZachFoster - Zachary Foster
Yazuri's family fled to Khan Yunis. On 3 Nov 1956, Israeli tanks entered Khan Yunis to "eradicate" Palestinian militant resistance. [Recall, Palestinians picked up arms after Israel slaughtered 1000s of unarmed refugees returning home in 1949-1950. Morris, Border Wars, p.416]:
@_ZachFoster - Zachary Foster
So, on 3 November 1956, when Israeli forces entered Khan Yunis, they rounded up all men 15+, lined them against a wall & executed them. Yazuri was 15 years old at the time. He survived the massacre. This is one account of what Yazuri witnessed: source: Filiu, Gaza, p. 271
@_ZachFoster - Zachary Foster
#2 Abdulaziz Rantissi. Born in October 1947, in Yibna, near Jaffa. Israeli forces attacked Yiba in June 1948. His family fled to Khan Yunis. Rantissi was 9 years old at the time of the Khan Yunis massacre cited above. His uncle was one of the victims.
@_ZachFoster - Zachary Foster
#3 Ahmed Yassin Born in al-Jura in 1936. When he was 13, he was expelled from his home in al-Jura, near Ashkelon. His family settled in al-Shati (the beach refugee camp) in Gaza. These were the conditions in the camp: Source: source: Filiu, Gaza, p. 79
@_ZachFoster - Zachary Foster
Then, during the same 1956 operation in which Israeli forces slaughtered hundreds of men in Khan Yunis, they also executed people in the beach refugee camp, where Yassin lived. source: Filiu, Gaza, p. 100
@_ZachFoster - Zachary Foster
Violence breeds violence. In the past month, 1.7M Palestinians in Gaza have been forcibly uprooted. Many r dehydrating in real time. ICU patients are dying in real time b/c no electricity. Babies born pre-maturely are dying in real time. 11,000+ Palestinians have been slaughtered
@_ZachFoster - Zachary Foster
If history teaches us anything, it's Israel is in the process of destroying itself, ensuring it will have more enemies in the future than it ever had in the past. Israel, for your own sake, stop the killing. stop the genocide. stop this total madness and insanity.

As promised, here's my audit of Oryx's equipment loss tracking. Oryx is well touted by institutional and mainstream media sources for an independent and open source verifiable low end accounting of equipment losses in the Ukraine War. https://t.co/iQeEIEzYbU
@JimmyThomist - JimmyThomist
The Russian losses page links to images for over 13,000 lost pieces of equipment, so auditing the site as a whole isn't viable. Instead I chose the first 10 entries, which took me about 1/4 through the T-62M losses. The results indicate Oryx is a very poor source indeed. https://t.co/Bbo1fvHPyC
@JimmyThomist - JimmyThomist
To be a good & independently verifiable source it should show: - The image's metadata - The geolocation & how it was confirmed - The original source of the image - The description of the vehicle & status is accurate - You can confirm the nationality What were the results? Ouch https://t.co/H0o8QIqYya
@JimmyThomist - JimmyThomist
Ukraine war equipment loss tracking is difficult because both sides predominantly use the same equipment. Hence the Russians spray paining letters like Z on their vehicles. This of course is vulnerable to exploitation as with some spray paint you can make anything look Russian.
@JimmyThomist - JimmyThomist
Reviewing the specific claims: #1 - 1 Unknown T-54/55 (1, destroyed) A dramatic video of a T-55 packed with explosives being driven towards a trench and destroyed by a missile prior to arriving. This is Russian as this is a known tactic of theirs. Good post overall. https://t.co/Q2ElYfKWwW
@JimmyThomist - JimmyThomist
#2 - T-55A Damaged This image can't be geolocated, is on Oryx's photo account and first appears on the internet in this post, so we have no idea of the source. The configuration (with a 'cope cage') is probably Russian, but there's otherwise nothing to confirm if it's Russian. https://t.co/K9tTLgG0kc
@JimmyThomist - JimmyThomist
#3 - T62M Destroyed 1 A video showing a grenade sized explosive being dropped from a drone into the open driver's hatch. This is probably Russian due to a Z on the roof. There is not enough information to geolocate. This is important as the tank does not move or have any signs https://t.co/fTtHYVrWgA
@JimmyThomist - JimmyThomist
of crew activity before or after the grenade explosion. Frankly this looks like drone testing on a firing range with a captured Russian vehicle, but who knows. Importantly, the video does not show the tank being destroyed. That ordinance would inflict crew casualties and damage,
@JimmyThomist - JimmyThomist
but there isn't a show of the tank burning and then the turret exploding (about the only good proof that a tank is destroyed rather than damaged).
@JimmyThomist - JimmyThomist
#4 - T-62M Destroyed 2 The normal issues of not knowing the source, no metadata, no geolocation and no signs the tank is Russian. The resolution suggests this might be an older photo, so I'm not sure if it's from this conflict. https://t.co/mNiqwqdXd1
@JimmyThomist - JimmyThomist
#5 - T-62M Destroyed 3 This entry will require a whole video. It's a video shoring the aftermath of a Ukrainian attack on Pravdyne on Sept 21, 2022. It's the only entry with enough information to check the geolocation, but that turns out quite badly for Oryx. In brief: https://t.co/j4pQJ0Afgi
@JimmyThomist - JimmyThomist
- The image of a destroyed Russian T-62M is not destroyed but damaged - The image is from a different battle/location and was added by the uploader - Oryx records 1 Russian and 5 Ukrainian vehicles lost when there were actually 0 Russian and 12 Ukrainian vehicle losses
@JimmyThomist - JimmyThomist
#6 - T-62M Destroyed #3 The same issues with not being able to geolocate or confirm the nationality. I was unable to find the original source, though the posting twitter account says the vehicle type is unclear (I agree) and Oryx says its a T-62M. https://t.co/ELb5B0UNj0
@JimmyThomist - JimmyThomist
#7 - T-62M Destroyed 5 Again the normal issues of lacking metadata or clear indications of nationality. This purports to show a montage of vehicles destroyed by lazer guided 155M shells. Pausing reveals they are missile strikes. More importantly.... https://t.co/d7OJPEh4ux
@JimmyThomist - JimmyThomist
All the tank impacts strongly suggest the tank's armour was not penetrated. The first clips show an explosion in the ground near the front and smoke billowing out the back under the hull. The second one shows an explosion on the front Glacis and smoke above the tank. (Eg below) https://t.co/rAe20L30j7
@JimmyThomist - JimmyThomist
If the rocket penetrated the hull armour you would expect to see smoke escaping from the top hatches, possibly the hatches blowing off and possibly smoke escaping the barrel (depending if the cannon breach was open)..
@JimmyThomist - JimmyThomist
#8 - T-62M Destroyed 6 No metadata, source unknown & can't geolocate. The only proof it's Russian is a crudely spray painted Z on the hull that could have been done post destruction. The amount of rust indicates the photo was taken at least a few weeks after. https://t.co/u092MkOFXv
@JimmyThomist - JimmyThomist
#9 - T-62M Destroyed 7 This is for a vehicle in the background of the same photo. The same applies, except that I can't confirm the tank type or whether there's a Z on the hull. https://t.co/sOgKQ1i9zq
@JimmyThomist - JimmyThomist
#10 - T-62M Destroyed 8 No metadata, source unknown & can't geolocate. No way of knowing if the tank is Russian. The tank is rusted enough that the date it was hit is unknown. Unclear if it is destroyed, damaged or abandoned https://t.co/Gd5UBMS7mU
@JimmyThomist - JimmyThomist
To sum up, we have one reliable post. Only one entry has enough information to confirm the geolocation, and almost everything about Oryx's use of that video was false. Only half showed the underlying source. 9/10 don't tell use the nationality of the vehicle. https://t.co/af69tH3tgg
@JimmyThomist - JimmyThomist
So all I can say about 9/10 of the entries is they show images of vehicles taken somewhere, at sometime of either Russian or Ukrainian vehicles. The descriptions of the state are mostly incorrect. For half of them I don't know who posted the photo.
@JimmyThomist - JimmyThomist
This leaves me to consider three points: 1. All the errors I found confirmed Russian losses beyond what the posted data justified; 2. The mainstream media and social media algorithms have boosted this source enormously during the conflict; and 3. (see below) https://t.co/sfQ5eFa8x1

Settlements continued to expand, with right wing Israeli politicians helping to to skirt Israel’s own laws. Despite being there illegally, the govt decided it was necessary to construct a cell phone tower on a nearby hilltop to fill a blind spot at a bend on the highway.
@martyrmade - Martyr Made
It was determined to be a security need, since it was unacceptable that Israelis might be caught in a bad situation w/o cell service. The hilltop, owned by Palestinian farmers, was seized and connected to the grid and water supply to facilitate construction.
@martyrmade - Martyr Made
The building was delayed, so in 2001 settlers erected a fake, non-functional tower, and received permission to station a guard 24/7. The guard moved into a trailer w/his family and installed a security fence around the hilltop.
@martyrmade - Martyr Made
Soon, five more families moved in, and, despite the settlement’s plain illegality, all were allowed to connect to the power and water originally meant for construction workers to do their job. Since families lived there, the Israeli govt built a nursery and donors built a synagogue to serve them.
@martyrmade - Martyr Made
Locations like Antenna Hill are not chosen at random. They are strategically selected to break up contiguous Palestinian territory to make territorial compromises by the Israeli govt impossible. By 2006, over 150 people lived on Antenna Hill.
@martyrmade - Martyr Made
Runoff from the settlement ran down the hillside, killing the fig and olive trees owned by the Palestinians who’d already had their seized for settlement. It ran down into the nearby village, filling gardens and paths with toxic waste.
@martyrmade - Martyr Made
Soon, the began getting into fights w/the Palestinians in the village, which included those who owned Antenna Hill. The two sides tried to sabotage the other, and a few minor riots occurred, which gave the IDF an excuse to move in and forcibly remove the Palestinian village to another location.
@martyrmade - Martyr Made
In the years since, various Israeli governments have attempted to shut down the settlement. Usually it provokes a riot by the settlers, who are supported by Likud and other right wing parties. The settlement always returns, and each time becomes a little more permanent.
@martyrmade - Martyr Made
There are countless hilltops, valleys, and other strategic locations that have been subject to this kind of slow-motion ethnic cleansing, reminiscent of American bushwhakers provoking fights w/Indians in the Black Hills to give the US govt cause to incorporate the Dakota Territories.
@nadeneghouri - Nadene
I would like to share a few stories if I may? My first memories of Gaza. 2008. By then I was ‘seasoned’ by conflict & fragile states. But nothing could have prepared me.
@nadeneghouri - Nadene
I almost didn't get in. Valid media accreditation. British passport. But my name. 'Where are you from?' demanded the soldier. Britain I said. 'NO, where are you from?' I had been warned this might happen. I smiled sweetly. 'I don't understand? I am British.' She laughed.
@nadeneghouri - Nadene
We danced this 'where are you from?' 'I'm British' a few more times until she lost patience. 'She' was a beautiful sight, ray bans, maybe 20, 21. A conscript. She pointed her gun. I smiled. Time to deflect. 'What's the issue?' 'Your name'. Where are your family from?
@nadeneghouri - Nadene
Well I can tell you all here my mum is working class British, hewn from steel workers, men who toiled and women who had no choices. My Dad is Afghan/Pakistani. My ancestors are the Ghorids, in the 13th century an empire that stretched half of Asia funded the building of the Buddha's of Bamiyan, early adopters of Islam but with a thirst and curiosity for the new world. We were poets, warriors, literal legends. It didn't seem a good idea to tell her. So I smiled.
@nadeneghouri - Nadene
'Ah. You see I don't know where my name is from. My mum had a one night stand. I never knew my father.' Like I say, I was warned this might happen. I asked, 'Why do you ask? Is my name Israeli?' She laughed in my face. 'No no no, not Israeli.'
@nadeneghouri - Nadene
I was allowed to move forward. Okay so imagine. British passport, media accreditation (Al Jazeera English). Time to cross the 'border'. I stood in a series of airport style full body scanners encased in glass, guns pointed at me. Ray bans. Conscripts. Fear in their eyes.
@nadeneghouri - Nadene
'PUT YOUR HANDS UP'. I did. 'TAKE OFF YOUR HEADSCARF...' Muffled sounds. Shit, did he say up or down? I can't hear. TAKE ON. HANDS DOWN!! Shit I can't hear. I'm confused. Hands up, hands down? I don't know! Fear. Real fear.
@nadeneghouri - Nadene
I am British. Media accreditation. But this is fear, real fear. I have just come from Afghanistan where I lived 6 years. Rocket bombardments, Insurgency. But no, never had a scared teenager in ray bans pointing a gun at me before. Unprecedented feelings. Breatheeee
@nadeneghouri - Nadene
I get through. Drenched in sweat. Surreal. Sci-fi movie reality. Then we walk. We walk, then we walk, we walk more. Through a concrete underpass - like the type in car parks. It goes on & on & on. We are carrying kit and I am soooo tired. I pause. I think I see bullet holes in the walls.
@nadeneghouri - Nadene
"Are they?" I ask my cameraman. He nods. We walk. We walk some more. I think this car park underpass is kind of endless. Then...An old lady on a plastic chair sits at a formica table. "Hello. Welcome to Gaza"
@nadeneghouri - Nadene
Sci-fi becomes low fi. We sign out names in her book. She smiles, but sadness overwhelms her pretend receptionist demeanour. She opens a gate. A literal metal gate. We go through it. We walk. Another gate. This is a prison.
@nadeneghouri - Nadene
And so it goes, we walk a bit, a new gate, more clanging metal. No guns or sci fi no here. Old skool prison gates. I lose count how many. Eventually a gate opens. And then there is is. Gaza. My breath disappears. I can't take in the scene.
@nadeneghouri - Nadene
Concrete. High rises. In your face. Look I love cities. I love Mumbai, I love London, I love New York. I love high rises. I love noise, I love density, I love chaos. But this? This. This is...
@nadeneghouri - Nadene
This is like nothing I have ever encountered. Just concrete. No birds, no grass, no...joy? This is my first few seconds there. My mind is reeling. It's like nothing I know or could have know before. But then? A stored memory flashes. Is this a ghetto? Have I seen this in books?
@nadeneghouri - Nadene
Head rush. Our driver appears. Reza. All smiles but a bit anxious. Ushers us into a battered Toyota. We drive. We pass a market garden, many greenhouses with windows blown out. 'What happened?' Reza shrugs.
@nadeneghouri - Nadene
We pass the port. A handful of little fishing boats. Sun streaming across water. Would be idyllic. Should be. Except for the gunships.
@nadeneghouri - Nadene
My head hurts. I struggle to comprehend, to adapt, to find focus. This is so different, yet weirdly familiar. My head hurts. We reach our hotel. A bastion of media and politicians, the sort of space I usually feel safe in. Reassured in.
@nadeneghouri - Nadene
We order food, wine. I relax. We have a sea view. It's pretty, gunships aside. A man at the next table starts to cough. & cough. & cough. & cough. I know instantly. TB. He looks at me apologetically. He is dying. His sad eyes tell me he knows. TB. He places a hankie over his mouth. He shrugs.
@nadeneghouri - Nadene
I see a little blood stain on the hankie over his mouth. His companions pretend not to notice. My head hurts. i go to my room. I do not sleep. I wake up. My head hurts. I don't know why it won't stop hurting. It's like diving compression. My temples throb. I take painkillers but it doesn't go away.
@nadeneghouri - Nadene
Dawn. Sun shines on water, fishing boats bob. Gunships line up behind. We eat breakfast - flatbread, feta, olives and black coffee. I am cheered. We begin our day. I'm filming a doco about children in war zones. Reza picks us up. He's rude, agitated. "Are you okay?" He shrugs.
@nadeneghouri - Nadene
Reza beginning to piss me off. First call. A family whose Grandmother became Gaza's oldest suicide bomber the week before. A bit mad? I thought so too. Their house is tiny, teeny. So many people. Kids everywhere. Big extended family. Adults weeping, wailing. In the Middle East grief is vocal. This I already know and understand.
@nadeneghouri - Nadene
What I don't understand is how or why someone's Granny becomes a suicide bomber. I'm there to ask the kids. An hour later my mind is blown. They describe her last day. Calm, serene. She said a special word to each of them. They had no idea. Were they proud? "Yes she's a martyr. No. Yes. No. Maybe. We miss her mostly." My head throbs. Remember I am seasoned by conflict zones by now. But this? Head f**k.
@nadeneghouri - Nadene
For context... Hamas often recruited the vulnerable and desperate to become 'martyrs'. Before Granny was radicalised she had lost 3 sons and was dying of cancer, no way for her to get medical care. I don't condone, I don't know her mind. I cannot judge. I only know what she did. She blew herself up at a checkpoint and killed 2 Israeli soldiers. They too were someone's sons.
@nadeneghouri - Nadene
The Grandkids really missed her. Oh boy did they. We leave. Drive to next family. Middle class, highly educated. Their house was in a sort of no mans land. IDF took over half of it. For TWO YEARS. Every day the kids were mocked, humiliated.
@nadeneghouri - Nadene
"I was so scared, I urinated myself. I urinated myself a lot". The teenage girl smiled apologetically. Then she shrugged. Shrugs. Shrugs are a Gazan thing I am beginning to realise.
@nadeneghouri - Nadene
Dad calls us for lunch. Chicken. We try to refuse. But we know the game, you pretend refuse and then you accept the hospitality. That's the Arab way. It's VERY rude to refuse hospitality. Dad stands over us, his hands on my cameraman's shoulders as we eat. His wife and kids stand watching. None of the family eat. "Are you hungry? Join us please", I say. They shrug. His wife's sad eyes catch mine.
@nadeneghouri - Nadene
I've worked it out. They don't have enough food for them and for us. So they've given it to us. I pick at my chicken. My colleague doesn't work it out. He wolfs it down. I literally want to kill him. We leave. In the car Reza is surly. I hate him. I hate my colleague. My head hurts. I look out the window. I see concrete, high rises, no green, no grass, no birds. Why no birds?
@nadeneghouri - Nadene
I ask Reza. He shrugs. I explode. 'What is wrong with you?" He goes silent. "I'm sorry, my mind is not right. I lost my kids last month." "What?? What do you mean? Lost?" (Inside I am laughing at myself because I am praying he says he means he lost them at the mall, or behind the sofa. I realise by now I'm also losing it)
@nadeneghouri - Nadene
Reza tells his story. 6 kids. All dead when an Israeli bulldozer raised his entire street in retribution for one of his neighbours (a cousin) being a suicide bomber. Collective punishment the IDF call it. The idea being that if you punish a community who committed no crime themselves they will drive out the Hamas radicals. The idea being they should have stood up to the radicals. They failed to. Bad them. Their mistake. So by destroying their home and killing their kids we instill and win loyalty. Sound familiar?
@nadeneghouri - Nadene
Back to the hotel. Dinner. The same group at the neighbouring table are there. They smoke, they laugh. The man with the bloodied hankie over his mouth - with the TB - is not there. I'm sad. But I am relieved. At least he's not going to cough over me. I hate myself.
@nadeneghouri - Nadene
Next day. Interview a boy driving a donkey cart. He struggles to speak. "I do not have the breath for the words I want to say." His chest heaves, his cheeks are sunken. TB. I smile at him as warmly as I can while holding a hankie over my own face. At least Reza is chilled out with me today. He spoke his truth. It's really hard having a crap day at work and not being able to tell anyone why you feel crap isn't it? I mean, 6 dead kids last week. What kind of an excuse is that to not perform at work?
@nadeneghouri - Nadene
More kids. Too many to share here. Beautiful French speaking middle class girls who give me the most articulate quotes. "I'm a child, I know what death is, I know what war is." An artist. "Even in pain we create." By now I'm back in my groove. It's just conflict. This is my job. Deal with it. And then...Him.
@nadeneghouri - Nadene
Resplendent in his school uniform he is proud and beautiful, brown eyes like pools. He is SO smart. He talks of his dreams and his desire to study in the United States. He is a child wonder says his teachers. But I ask too many questions, I go over time. He starts to shake.
@nadeneghouri - Nadene
"The bus goes at 8.45. I must catch the bus at 8.45. It is the blue bus. The bus goes at 8.45. The blue bus." He rocks back and forth. His mum shrugs. He has PTSD. School, his routine, his dream of getting out keeps him functioning. I've made him late for school with my stupid questions.
@nadeneghouri - Nadene
This story is from 2008. In 2021 a report by EuroMed (link to come) found 9 out of 10 Gazan kids suffered some form of PTSD. Bed wetting, nightmares, verbal ticks. 2023? 10 out of 10 I guess. Of the ones who are left. 'Shrug'

@IsraeliPM - Prime Minister of Israel
It was also not for nothing that the American administration has taken this step together with us. In recent years, we have promoted laws in most US states, which determine that strong action is to be taken against whoever tries to boycott Israel.

Therefore, this body is unimportant. Instead of the organization dealing with human rights, it only tries to disparage Israel. We strongly reject this contemptible effort.

D+6 Israeli Crisis update. No significant changes on the ground today. The biggest news I've seen is that Israel apparently just now ordered the million-odd people living in the northern Gaza Strip flee south within 24 hours, suggesting a ground assault is imminent. The Israelis have continued their aerial bombardment of Gaza, reaching over 6,000 bombs dropped thus far. Ancient M117 750-lb bombs have been spotted on IAF aircraft, suggesting that the Israelis are at least in part aiming to simply cause destruction in Gaza rather than targeting anything specific - and also suggesting that they're feeling the pinch on their munitions stockpiles. I expect that vast quantities of American bombs will soon be flowing to the Middle East to keep their bombing campaign running. Israel's neighbors and other regional powers in the Middle East are increasingly indicating that they will not stand idly by for an invasion and accompanying mass exodus of refugees from Gaza. Egypt has thus far refused to support any mass flight of Palestinians through Rafah. As I pointed out yesterday, it literally does not matter how fulminatingly angry the Israelis are at Hamas right now - any ground assault will come with real consequences for them, up to and including the potential for a regional war. Each side's death toll currently stands at around 1400 - an apocalyptic figure for Israel (more than they suffered in the Six Days' War and half of what they suffered in the Yom Kippur War) and rapidly approaching the entire death toll in Gaza for all previous conflicts since 2005. These figures are going to rise, and rise rapidly, the longer this goes on. Praying for peace is cliche. Pray for a solution.

Hamas has released an official statement, but I’m not going to share it. They don’t deserve to have their message seen by those they are calling to join them in slaughtering innocent civilians. These people are behaving like animals. I’ve seen pictures of elderly men and women shot dead in the streets and videos of Palestinians trampling the body of a dead IDF soldier. Hamas just sealed the fate of countless people who they claim to be defending. I don’t know how there can ever be a two state solution with people who behave like this. If the Palestinians were smart, they’d denounce Hamas and turn on them, but they won’t. Their hate for the Jewish people is instilled in them from a young age and it runs deep. Unfortunately, peace is the last thing they want. God have mercy on their souls.

🧵THREAD: The Krassenstein twins not only admitted to being paid by "higher ups" to manipulate public opinion, but they’ve also bought Twitter accounts and converted tween fan pages—with massive followings—into their private accounts. But let’s take things one step at a time.⬇️
@goddeketal - Dr. Simon Goddek
#1 Ponzi Scheme: Before Brian (@krassenstein) and Ed (@EdKrassen) became Twitter phenomena, the left-wing brothers allegedly ran Ponzi schemes and online financial 'scams'. In 2017, law enforcement seized nearly half a million dollars from them, contending it was derived from wire fraud. Although they deny this, court records back me up! Their history already shows they've duped people by promoting multi-level marketing programs (MLMs) and high-yield investment programs (HYIPs). The latter is a type of Ponzi scheme, a scam that promises unrealistic high returns on investment by paying previous investors with the funds from the new ones. This seems to be their M.O.: deceiving people on a grand scale to line their own pockets.
@goddeketal - Dr. Simon Goddek
#2 Making Money with Facebook: Around the same time, the Krassensteins ran several Facebook pages designed to play on people's emotions to accumulate followers. Consider this one as an example. They exploited Facebook's design to make a ludicrous promise: get me to a million followers and, somehow, I'll accomplish something completely out of my control. Then, in January 2010, the Krassensteins saw disaster as an opportunity just like their idol Hillary Clinton. They launched three groups related to the Haitian catastrophe, all to amass a substantial following. Here you see the first group, discussing the second one. I'll discuss the third group in the follow-up post below.
@goddeketal - Dr. Simon Goddek
#3 Absurd Facebook Group: This third Facebook group is the most outrageous of them all. The Krassensteins promised to empty their bank account if they reached 10 million fans on that Facebook page, which is frankly unattainable. They claimed that the 'bank account' being emptied would only amount to $2,450 if (!!!) they ever achieved their ridiculous fan target. Then, after accumulating a significant following, they utilized the group to disseminate posts about their own ventures and websites—like their @KrassenCast podcasts or articles on their numerous websites. I wonder if any of the Krassensteins can demonstrate that they made donations to the victims of the 2010 Haitian earthquake. I have my doubts.
@goddeketal - Dr. Simon Goddek
#4 Buying Social Media Accounts: Around this time, starting in 2010, Brian (@krassenstein) and Ed (@EdKrassen) have been actively purchasing social media accounts. Even though the twins assert they have never bought any social media accounts, the evidence is more than just overwhelming. It appears that they bought Twitter accounts on a large scale to self-promote through retweets, follow recommendations, and so forth. However, the charge looming over them is the mass buying and selling of Twitter accounts, as evidenced by the attached screenshots, and consequently breaking the rules of this platform. Ed + Brian equals Edbri, and ed@ay.com is clearly linked to @EdKrassen. He has already acknowledged the planned operation of the social network AY in his post, and the connection to OUYA is illustrated in my following tweet. Why would someone else pen these posts in their names, as they claim, given that they were practically unknown back then? By the way, it seems that @EdKrassen's account was formerly @bieberfanclubs (LOL!!!) with 250K followers, and @krassenstein's account was @JONASBROTHERS5 with 22K followers.
@goddeketal - Dr. Simon Goddek
#5 The case ‘OUYA’: The Justin Bieber and the Jonas Brothers Twitter profiles are just two examples targeting naive teenagers. The Krassenstein brothers have consistently utilized the same strategy, monitoring trending topics as potential catalysts for building traction and engagement. In one instance, they identified a product that experienced a remarkable $8.5 million launch on Kickstarter: "OUYA," a video game console. They proceeded to acquire several domains and establish forums. This was supplemented with numerous social media accounts from which they would spam their messages.
@goddeketal - Dr. Simon Goddek
#6 Follow-Unfollow-Script: Their primary OUYA account quickly amassed a suspiciously high number of followers, and it's evident that the follower count aligns with the following count. Everything indicates the use of a follow-unfollow script, which automatically followed a large number of accounts daily, retracting follows in the event of no reciprocation (which is also against the community guildines, by the way). Currently, both of them are following 506.3K people but deny ever running follow-unfollow scripts. To follow that many people manually would take 60 whole days. Considering that they didn’t only follow people but also unfollowed those who did not reciprocate, reaching this point must have taken years of work. And I doubt that both of them were sitting at the computer for that long just to follow (and unfollow) that many people. So, why should we trust individuals who: ▪️Firstly, purchase Twitter accounts, likely to boost each other’s engagement; ▪️Secondly, accumulate tween followers fond of Justin Bieber and the Jonas Brothers; ▪️Thirdly, execute fully automated follow-unfollow scripts to augment their follower base; ▪️Lastly, rename the accounts to their names, making it appear as if they personally achieved these follower numbers through their content?
@goddeketal - Dr. Simon Goddek
#7 DNC Propaganda: They honestly claim that they are independent political journalists, but they are not critical towards the ‘current thing’ at all. For instance, @krassenstein publicly stated that it was okay for random people to be naked in front of kids, and @EdKrassen claimed that the unvaccinated had a 100 times higher chance to get myocarditis.
@goddeketal - Dr. Simon Goddek
#8 More wrong claims: In this video, for example, @krassenstein claims that the C0vid gəne therapy would have prevented both infəctions and transmissions. When he was then critically addressed on his misinformation, he became snippy with his valley girls voice and stuck to his DNC-loyal line. And now, imagine two of them in an @X space against you? That's their strategy. That's most likely how they make a living.
@goddeketal - Dr. Simon Goddek
#9 Blackmailing Becky: Naturally, the Krassensteins will now claim that the video in my first post was a parody or was made merely to illustrate how quickly misinformation spreads. Incidentally, they did the same when I asked them why they had deleted a tweet in which they apparently attempted to blackmail @RebeccaSeetahal from the DNC. They stated that they posted and immediately deleted it to demonstrate how swiftly conspiracy theories propagate on the internet. However, by posting it, it ceased to be a mere conspiracy theory. Most likely, @krassenstein confused submitting a tweet with submitting a DM. Admit mistakes? No chance.
@goddeketal - Dr. Simon Goddek
#10 Conclusion: In conclusion, the Krassensteins seem to maneuver their way out of every situation and deny any and all criticism, no matter how overwhelming it might be. Moreover, their paired appearances mean that criticizing one immediately brings the annoyance of dealing with both. However, one must give credit where it's due; they have mastered the algorithm of the platform to trigger people, farming engagement, which together possibly earns them between $30-50k USD per month. This is aided, not least, by the support of Elon Musk, who frequently reacts to their posts, thus endorsing their agenda. Doubts about the integrity of these twins persist. Rumors circulate that they are working for a Middle Eastern state; others claim they are on the DNC payroll. What is certain is that they fully endorse and defend the DNC party agenda in an unwavering manner. If any scandals arise, they are conveniently swept under the rug. Neutral reporting is nowhere to be seen. For instance, they've labeled Trump as a horrific and 'demented human being,' while remaining conspicuously silent on Biden, who displays all the signs of advanced dementia. Ultimately, the right to freedom of speech and opinion also applies to these twins, which I greatly value on this platform, but everyone here should be aware of their past and present to properly contextualize their content. Cheers, Dr. Simon (@goddeketal)

@nexta_tv - NEXTA
A World War II veteran was invited to the Canadian parliament during Zelenskyy's visit. The hall gave him a standing ovation, and then it turned out that he had served in the SS during World War II The Ukrainian president and first lady attended a session of the House of Commons in Canada on September 22. The Speaker of Parliament introduced 98-year-old Yaroslav Hunka to them and called him "a Ukrainian-Canadian veteran of World War II who fought for Ukraine's independence against Russians." In response to the applause, Hunka greeted the audience. The Ukrainian president, First Lady and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, among others, were in the audience at the time. Soon, two Jewish organizations said Hunka had served in the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (1st Galician). It was a tactical unit of Nazi Germany's SS forces that recruited Ukrainian volunteer collaborators. The Speaker of the Canadian House of Commons, Anthony Rota, apologized and took the blame for the incident. He said that Hunka's invitation was "entirely his initiative", which neither his colleagues nor the Ukrainian delegation knew about. "Additional information has come to my attention that makes me regret my decision to do so. I want to make it clear that no one, including fellow parliamentarians and the delegation of Ukraine, knew of my intention or my remarks before I made them. This initiative was entirely my own. <...> I especially want to offer my deepest apologies to the Jewish communities in Canada and around the world. I accept full responsibility for my actions," Rota stated.

The foreign minister of #Canada and #Poland's deputy foreign minister call on the speaker of Canada's House of Commons to resign over honoring a veteran of the SS Galicia division during Zelenskyy's visit. Also, Polish education minister suggested extraditing 98-year-old Yaroslav Hunka. "I appeal to urgently examine the documents whether Jaroslaw Hunka is wanted for crimes against the Polish people and Poles of Jewish origin. The specifics of such crimes are grounds for applying to Canada for his extradition," the minister said. Polish Ambassador to Ottawa Witold Dzielski said he expected an official apology. He recalled that the SS Galicia Division was responsible for the murder of thousands of Poles and Jews.

The Russian military command may be ordering these counterattacks to buy time, but it is unclear how the Kremlin intends to use time bought at such a price. 🧵(1/8) https://isw.pub/UkrWar092423
@TheStudyofWar - ISW
2/ Russian forces appear to be unwilling to surrender tactical areas and are focusing instead on fighting for every meter instead of benefiting from the depth of their prepared defenses.
@TheStudyofWar - ISW
3/ The Russian sacrifice of combat power to hold every meter may alternatively be intended to support the #Kremlin’s informational and hybrid warfare objectives. https://isw.pub/UkrWar092423
@TheStudyofWar - ISW
4/ Russian President Vladimir #Putin first acknowledged the start of the Ukrainian counteroffensive on June 9 by emphasizing two key and persistent narratives: that Ukrainian forces will not achieve significant successes and that the Ukrainian forces are suffering heavy losses.
@TheStudyofWar - ISW
5/ #Putin and the #Kremlin have been framing Russian defensive operations as a major battlefield victory, and persistent Russian counterattacks allow the Kremlin to claim these operations as individual victories amidst the general lack of Russian battlefield advances elsewhere.
@TheStudyofWar - ISW
6/ Putin may have ordered the Russian military command to hold all Russia’s initial defensive positions to create the illusion that Ukrainian counteroffensives have not achieved any tactical or operational effects despite substantial Western support.
@TheStudyofWar - ISW
7/ This informational undertaking can only succeed in the long run if Russian forces can actually prevent Ukrainian forces from breaking through and liberating large areas, however.
@TheStudyofWar - ISW
8/ The Russian resistance to ceding ground may also be tied to Russian military commanders’ and officials’ attempts to use the counteroffensive to achieve political goals, or it could result from Putin’s micromanagement. https://isw.pub/UkrWar092423
@GeromanAT - -- GEROMAN -- time will tell - 👀 --
More and more Western experts want the conflict in Ukraine freeze - even Ferguson (out of all people) said this after visiting Kiev recently. "Russia is getting stronger - Western support is fading away - and there won't be any break through" Well - too late - Lavrov repeated - on the battlefield it will be it as Borrell ordered last year
@GeromanAT - -- GEROMAN -- time will tell - 👀 --
There won't be any Korean or West East Germany solution. Russia will go on - slowly - methodically - grinding down the now more and more badly trained conscripts. Western ammo is short - to think 150 to 200 Taurus or ATACMS will change anything should learn to count. Russia has similir System in much greater numbers. And even Ukraine had them - and lost.
@GeromanAT - -- GEROMAN -- time will tell - 👀 --
There was a window for negotiation last year twice. Western assholes messed it up again - overconfident - arrogant and ignorant creatures thought they can win against the Russian war machine. 100s of 1000s of Ukrainians had to die for a dream - which turned out to be a nightmare. The bear is now not only awake - he is out of the cave. Good luck bringing him back
@GeromanAT - -- GEROMAN -- time will tell - 👀 --
The sanctions war did not only fail epically - it backfired catastrophically - hysterical takes even in UK media - oil price cap? A joke. Now going for diamonds? Really? That will destroy Antwerp and India will be driven further away from the Western losers club called the Golden Billion. Inflation is rising - energy in Europe? Winter is coming - oil will hit a new all times high.
@GeromanAT - -- GEROMAN -- time will tell - 👀 --
Kiev had to shift their fancy, NATO trained brigades away from the failed offensive in the south up to the north where Russia is keeping the pressure. Bakhmut is still a meat grinder and was ALWAYS a stupid symbolic battle for KIEV - and it still is. Even clown Zelensky said it by making the utterly stupid promise to take that (as we were told repeatedly by Western experts) strategically unimportant place after it fell.
@GeromanAT - -- GEROMAN -- time will tell - 👀 --
Russia has now around 10 armies In Ukraine. All along the lines - with a concententration in the south and north. Nobody knows where it will start - but even Western experts now say it will. Deep strikes into logistical hubs are increasing. The Kiev offensive is dead.
@GeromanAT - -- GEROMAN -- time will tell - 👀 --
The childish bluff by the incompetent regime in US was called - they told Russia - freeze the conflict or we will send long range weapons - bring it on... It won't help.
@GeromanAT - -- GEROMAN -- time will tell - 👀 --
-> The West began to publicly acknowledge the fact that the counteroffensive had failed, and its results were so insignificant that it would be difficult to withhold financial and military assistance until 2024. The Ukrainian conflict has often demonstrated unpredictability - and now this is happening again: the counter-offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, according to Western expectations, should have allowed Ukraine, thanks to Western weapons, to occupy enough territory so that Kiev would have a strong position in future negotiations - however, the operation did not live up to expectations, The Economist states. Despite all efforts, Ukraine managed to capture less than 0.25% of the territory under Russian control during all this time, and the front line practically did not move. Meanwhile, Ukrainian troops are exhausted, and Ukraine does not have the human resources to continue a permanent large-scale operation, despite the mobilization, the journalist notes. “Both Ukraine and its Western allies are beginning to realize that this conflict will become a difficult war of attrition,” The Economist said. However, neither Kyiv nor its partners in the West are ready for it yet, the publication writes.

I hope I'm wrong. But I think Trudeau and Zelenskyy just did something terrible. Let me explain it in reverse. 1. In 2020, Canada's leading military affairs reporter wrote an article in a military journal about how Canada brought in 2,000 Nazis after the Second World War.
@ezralevant - Ezra Levant 🍁🚛
2. The Nazis were in Hitler's 14th Waffen SS Division Galicia. According to military historian/journalist David Pugliese, they were able to sneak into Canada by changing their name and hiding their past.
@ezralevant - Ezra Levant 🍁🚛
3. Here's what Pugliese wrote in the military journal, Esprite de Corps: In an attempt to hide the SS connection, the unit had changed its name in the last few days of the war to the First Division Ukrainian National Army. Source: espritdecorps.ca/history-featur…
@ezralevant - Ezra Levant 🍁🚛
4. That was nearly 80 years ago, so most of those Nazis have since died. But one of them is apparently still alive -- Yaroslav Hunka. And if I'm reading the news correctly, Trudeau invited him as an honoured guest today, to Zelenskyy's visit to Canada's Parliament.
@ezralevant - Ezra Levant 🍁🚛
5. The Canadian Press wire service circulated this photo and caption. (This version is taken from The Toronto Star, but it was in many places). Look at the caption on the bottom.
@ezralevant - Ezra Levant 🍁🚛
6. It says, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recognize Yaroslav Hunka, who was in attendance and fought with the First Ukrainian Division in the Second World War before later immigrating to Canada, in the House of Commons on Friday.
@ezralevant - Ezra Levant 🍁🚛
7. Can that really be true? Did Justin Trudeau really invite a Nazi SS soldier from the Second World War to Parliament as an honoured guest? Please tell me I've got a fact wrong here. cc. @LevittMichael @AHousefather @mgeist @CIJAinfo @bnaibrithcanada
@ezralevant - Ezra Levant 🍁🚛
@LevittMichael @AHousefather @mgeist @CIJAinfo @bnaibrithcanada 8. Hunka was introduced to Parliament as a 98-year-old soldier “who fought… against the Russians… a hero.”
@ezralevant - Ezra Levant 🍁🚛
9. Three months ago, Trudeau went to Ukraine and met with Andriy Melnyk, a Holocaust denier who was fired by Zelenskyy after he said Israel and Poland were lying about Jewish deaths: https://x.com/ezralevant/status/1667575268309966848?s=20
@ezralevant - Ezra Levant 🍁🚛
10. And last year, Chrystia Freeland held up a scarf promoting a far-right Ukrainian Nationalist movement linked to Neo-Nazis commemorating Stefan Bandera, the Nazi criminal. Freeland deleted her social media posts, but not before the photo was saved: https://tnc.news/2022/02/28/freeland-caught-holding-pro-nazi-banner-at-ukraine-protest/
@ezralevant - Ezra Levant 🍁🚛
11. Before the Russian invasion in 2022, David Pugliese wrote about Trudeau and Freeland working with Nazi groups in Ukraine. Here are two of his stories from November, 2021: https://ottawacitizen.com/news/national/defence-watch/allegations-of-canadian-troops-training-neo-nazis-and-war-criminals-sparks-military-review https://ottawacitizen.com/news/national/defence-watch/canadian-officials-who-met-with-ukrainian-unit-linked-to-neo-nazis-feared-exposure-by-news-media-documents
@ezralevant - Ezra Levant 🍁🚛
12. Those articles were published in the prestigious Ottawa Citizen. Here's an article in the Globe and Mail about Freeland's grandfather, a Nazi propagandist. She tried to keep that a secret for years, and then claimed it was Russian propaganda: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/freeland-knew-her-grandfather-was-editor-of-nazi-newspaper/article34236881/
@ezralevant - Ezra Levant 🍁🚛
13. Trudeau and Freeland routinely call peaceful, domestic political critics "Nazis" and "far right" and "racist". They're not of course -- they just disagree. It's Trudeau and Freeland who really do have a Nazi problem -- and it's coming from inside their house.
@ezralevant - Ezra Levant 🍁🚛
14. As usual, if it’s a report about Trudeau’s misconduct, you’ll read about it in the foreign press before you’ll read about it (if ever) in Canada’s news media, which has been colonized by Trudeau: https://forward.com/fast-forward/561927/zelenskyy-joins-canadian-parliaments-ovation-to-98-year-old-veteran-who-fought-with-nazis/?amp=1
@ezralevant - Ezra Levant 🍁🚛
@LevittMichael @CanadianFSWC @CIJAinfo @bnaibrithcanada @AHousefather @mgeist @LindaFrum 15. A masked agent provocateur unfurled a Nazi flag just long enough to be photographed and that’s enough for Canada’s regime media to denounce 100,000 truckers as racist. Trudeau deliberately invited a Nazi soldier to Parliament and… crickets. #MediaParty #JustinJournos https://t.co/HisQGPEBhH
@ezralevant - Ezra Levant 🍁🚛
16. Google has 738,000 hits for "trucker convoy Nazi", all stories from one fake photograph of an agent provocateur with a swastika flag that no-one else saw. 738,000 hits. Trudeau invited an actual Nazi SS veteran to Parliament and so far, not one story from the Regime Media.

Claims of social media censorship d. And let's not forget the 51 'intelligence experts' who said the Hunter Biden laptop had "all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation."

She also directly advised social media platforms on removing 'inauthentic content according to their terms of service.' Don't take my word for it; she admits this herself.

Angry mother tears down LGBTQ flag in a history classroom, tells the teacher that her tax dollars aren’t going towards that flag. “I'm teaching my son to grow, to be a man.” “We're paying you to teach history and that's what you need to be teaching… I’m not paying my tax money [to this].” “You got this flag over the United States of America.” Wow. Parents have had enough.
@TaranQ - Jos Quinten
🇺🇦🇷🇺🧵 Many don't know what happened in Ukraine before February 2022. Let me help you in the next tweets (not necessarily chronological order)
@TaranQ - Jos Quinten
1) March 18th 2014. Crimea holds a referendum in which a large majority (93+%) vote for joining Russia. I often hear the people were forced or the military presence influenced the voting. This footage tells me the reality is quite different.
@TaranQ - Jos Quinten
2) April 27th, 2014. Lugansk declared being a sovereign state. Always keep in mind these people were born and raised there, in the "old" Russia. They didn't ask to become part of Ukraine. They have a Russian culture and traditions, what's wrong with that? Part 1
@TaranQ - Jos Quinten
3) Lugansk People's Republic declare state sovereignty. I see lots of joyful people with Russian flags. These are ordinary people just wanting to live their lives and be able to speak their own language. Would you agree if your government would force you to use another language?
@TaranQ - Jos Quinten
4) April 13th. 2014. Oleksandr Turchynov launches the "anti terrorist operation" against the "separatists" as they are conveniently called. Do these people look like terrorists? Even the ordinary military clearly had problems fulfilling their tasks.
@TaranQ - Jos Quinten
5) From that moment the people of the Donbass were declared enemies. Let's look at what they thought of it. Keep remembering this was long before February 2022! For 8 long years these people have been subjected to the Kiev regime terror.
@TaranQ - Jos Quinten
6) Ordinary people that saw their lives being ruined. Their cities being destroyed. Till the point they don't know how to continue. Is this a democracy?
@TaranQ - Jos Quinten
7) The WW2 Saur Mogila monument in southern Donetsk was destroyed by uitslapen Ukrainian military in September 2014. This lady was born in a camp in Germany during American bombardments is furious about the Ukrainian fascists.
@TaranQ - Jos Quinten
8) On April 25th. 2019, after several attempts the Ukrainian Verchovna Rada finally managed to ban the Russian language, the law says that the only language that can be used in all spheres of life is the Ukrainian language.
@TaranQ - Jos Quinten
9) May 2nd 2014, Odessa. Angry crowd attacks peaceful protesters outside the union building. The crowd set the building on fire after the protesters flee inside.
@TaranQ - Jos Quinten
10) Odessa. The ones trying to escape the fire or jump out the windows are being shot at or beaten to death. No investigation has ever been conducted and nobody was held responsible or brought to justice.
@TaranQ - Jos Quinten
12) May 9th, 2014 Mariupol. Extreme right Azov battalion sets fire to a police station. More than 100 people die. Part 1
@TaranQ - Jos Quinten
13) Part 2. Petro Symonenko speaks the truth in the Parlament but he is being blocked by interim president Oleksandr Turchynov.
@TaranQ - Jos Quinten
14) June 2nd 2014. Ukrainian planes bomb the Lugansk city centre were civilians are totally caught by surprise. I left the extremely gore part out... But exactly that shows what the Kiev regime is capable of. This was a deliberate attack on ordinary civilians.
@TaranQ - Jos Quinten
15) Of the president of your country would address you in this way. Would you accept or resist? We are that the people of Crimea understood very quickly this was not their government. I don't think these people needed any force to vote for joining Russia.
@TaranQ - Jos Quinten
16) Poroschenko didn't pay pensions to the "separatists". Who came to their rescue? The "evil" Putin.
@TaranQ - Jos Quinten
17) Though the story in West was that Putin had annexed Crimea and would suppress all minorities there, what they didn't report is that Putin enacted a law that rehabilitated all minorities ever deported from Crimea, the have all the rights and right of compensation.

21) Poroschenko recently admitted they never wanted to commit to the Minsk agreements. They were just meant to buy time to prepare for the war.
@TaranQ - Jos Quinten
22) Even mainstream media television (German WDR) reported back in 2014 that Ukrainian troops were shelling civilians and that we as Europe should not accept this.

25) Mariupol 2014. Do you think this war started in February 2022?
@TaranQ - Jos Quinten
26) Let's not forget the promise the West made to Russia not to move NATO one inch further to the east, after Gorbatsjov decided to give back the occupied part to Germany for reunification. A very nice gesture. And what did the West do? Break their promise after only 6 years.

🇷🇺🇺🇦🧵Large pro-Russia rally in Bakhmut (then and now Artyomovsk), March 1, 2014. The people were demanding a referendum, after the Kiev government was "Nulandized",(referring) to Victoria Nuland. They refused to accept the illegitimate US puppet regime and the degradation of their basic human and democratic rights. A feature of ultranationalist, quasi-fascist ideology is the persecution of ethnic minority "racial impurities". Not long after this rally, the people of the city were brutally suppressed by the illegitimate US Maidanist regime. Caption for the video reads: 1.3.2014.

English speaking spokesperson for the Ukrainian military: Ukraine will hunt down "Russian propagandists" around the world.
@ducaena - Na'omi Ducaena Allen
The announcement came ahead of the criminal trial of Chilean-American journalist Gonzalo Lira who has been charged with, "justifying Russia's aggression, denying/glorifying Russian war crimes, and undermining Ukraine's leadership and Defense Forces." https://www.helsinkitimes.fi/world-int/23512-detaining-gonzalo-lira-another-blow-to-the-freedom-of-press-in-ukraine.html
@ducaena - Na'omi Ducaena Allen
Upon his original arrest, the SBU claimed that Lira had, "... denied the crimes of the Russian Federation and insulted Ukrainian defenders."
@ducaena - Na'omi Ducaena Allen
IMO: Ukraine picked the ideal candidate to set legal precedent for this injustice... someone who publicly spoke against the Ukrainian government and their military, but who would not garner much support from the Western public or even other "Russian propagandists".
@ducaena - Na'omi Ducaena Allen
The headlines surrounding his arrest were sprinkled heavily with ick-factors that repelled sympathy for his personhood, and everything about his activities since then has felt like a trap to other "Russian propagandists".
@ducaena - Na'omi Ducaena Allen
Maybe it was a trap. As one of those who Lira reached out to while he was under house arrest by the SBU, it certainly felt like to to me... but we have now moved beyond the time when the SBU could have used him for intel and evidence gathering Ops.
@ducaena - Na'omi Ducaena Allen
He has outlived those purposes, and Ukraine's fascist state has now moved on to the next phase: Making an example of him.
@ducaena - Na'omi Ducaena Allen
What does the Ukrainian government mean when they say they will hunt down "Russian propagandists"? It could mean that they will charge people in absentia and issue Interpol red notices to have people extradited for trials in Ukraine. https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2023/07/6/7410127/
@ducaena - Na'omi Ducaena Allen
Or it could mean assassination... which they've already been carrying out with impunity on Russian soil. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/05/us/politics/ukraine-russia-dugina-assassination.html
@ducaena - Na'omi Ducaena Allen
In the case of Dugina, the SBU also picked the perfect person to make an example of. Instead of expressing outrage at this obvious act of terrorism, American pundits carried on about how she was probably a bad person. https://archive.ph/mZmQv
@ducaena - Na'omi Ducaena Allen
For those who think that the US wouldn't let Ukraine get away with assassinating journalists outside of Ukraine or Russia, think again. What have you heard about the attempted assassination of Adrien Bocquet (a French national) in Turkey (a NATO country)? infobrics.org/post/37503/
@ducaena - Na'omi Ducaena Allen
The way the Ukrainian state has programmed people to not just ignore, but to also be okay with and even pleased with the murder of civilians should not be ignored. This is the stuff atrocities are built with. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11284819/How-Ukrainian-intelligence-chiefs-tracking-collaborators-worked-Russians.html
@ducaena - Na'omi Ducaena Allen
The Ukrainian state also picked the perfect person to spread their message. Instead of the Ukrainian government, from whom the message comes, the messenger here is who draws any critical attention.
@ducaena - Na'omi Ducaena Allen
But make no mistake... this threat comes from the Ukrainian government, with support from the US government who sponsored an official Ukrainian state event declaring that "Russian propagandists" are "information terrorists" who should be tried for war crimes. https://cpd-gov-ua.translate.goog/events/3898/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp

The "Center for Combating Disinformation"... who publishes a daily list on Twitter of people who they claim are distributing "Russian disinformation".
@ducaena - Na'omi Ducaena Allen
The use of the word "combat" here is significant and intentional. Goes to show that they view words as weapons, and consider people who use them against the Ukrainian state as legitimate military targets.
@ducaena - Na'omi Ducaena Allen
People watch Sarah's video and makes jokes about how ludicrous this whole thing is. It is ludicrous, but I can tell you from personal experience that the Ukrainian state and their zealous followers are very serious about hunting people down.
@ducaena - Na'omi Ducaena Allen
I was attacked in my home by two men shortly after UkroTrolls like this started petitioning Ukrainian intel services to hire someone to shut me up: https://archive.ph/TNGDY
@ducaena - Na'omi Ducaena Allen
Fortunately, because of threats I received over the last year, I already had an armed private security detail in place and they were able to stop the hired thugs before I ended up with more than minor injuries.
@ducaena - Na'omi Ducaena Allen
Ukraine's military intelligence chief publicly admits that they've been murdering "Russian propagandists" around the world and will continue doing so. He is also pleased that some of these murders have been "well publicized". https://archive.ph/V0KYq
@ducaena - Na'omi Ducaena Allen
This is literally, state sponsored terrorism.
@ducaena - Na'omi Ducaena Allen
For those who may not know, when I said "English speaking spokesperson for the Ukrainian military" I was serious. Sarah is an official spokesperson for the Ukrainian military, and this announcement was made on their official broadcast. https://www.newsweek.com/ukraine-military-has-new-transgender-spokesperson-1817334
