Good op-ed from Brady Africk.

The Russian military is not entitled to sanctuary.

Let Ukraine use Western weapons on military targets in Russia.

My latest for The Telegraph telegraph.co.uk/us/comment/202…

Only gloom&doom.

Nothing about Czech&German initiatives.

Nothing about the fact that Ukraine Defense Forces managed to withstand Russian advances since Nov 2023 relying primary on UAVs of different kinds while inflicting major damage on RU forces.

Journalism of fatalism.

The absolute fear of escalation is a cult all of its own. It’s really exhausting

We are self-deterring ourselves towards a Russian victory.

When do we snap out of it?

Will we snap out of it?

Don’t tell me Europe isn’t doing enough to help Ukraine. We’re 32nd as a percentage of GDP

NEW: A joint investigation by 60 Minutes, the Insider, and Der Spiegel strongly suggests that the Kremlin has waged a sustained kinetic campaign directly targeting US government personnel both in the US and internationally for a decade, with the likely objective of physically…

There is a growing body of evidence that Russia is attacking our diplomatic and defense personnel and our government is just not willing to admit it cbsnews.com/news/havana-sy…

We are self-deterring ourselves.

When do we push back?

Terrible to hear of the suffering of evangelical Christians in Russian-occupied #Ukraine . This Easter, our hearts are with them and every persecuted Christian around the world. May they still feel God’s comfort in the darkest of times.

Basically, all the analysis that talked about how strong Russia was, how weak Ukraine was and how quickly a war between them would be, had a direct policy link which kept the US from aiding Ukraine to win—a problem that continues to this day.the

The Kremlin’s focus on degrading US decision-making is not opportunistic, new, or limited to Ukraine. Perception manipulation is a key element of Putin’s offset strategy – a way to achieve goals beyond the limits of Russia’s power.🧵(1/4)

'The notion that the war is unwinnable because of Russia’s dominance is a Russian information operation...The Kremlin must get the United States to the sidelines, allowing Russia to fight Ukraine in isolation' from Institute for the Study of War understandingwar.org/backgrounder/d…

My latest with Institute for the Study of War. The Kremlin’s principal effort is to force the US to accept and reason from Russian premises to decisions that advance Russia’s interests, not ours. The Kremlin is not arguing with us. It is trying to enforce assertions about the Kremlin-generated…

Important arguments from Nataliya Bugayova.

Russia has regained its ability to alter Western perceptions without meaningfully altering Russia’s capability. The Kremlin-generated information backdrop of mostly groundless fears and irrelevancies has shaped Western decisions.
