@wardcarroll.bsky.social Heads up, Mover & Gonky have been talking about you. Guest Casmo said he was ok with you, so Mover dumped on you more. I've had enough of their infantile, unprofessional, frat boy nonsense. Your Gettysburg ep was great. It's on the right time stamp. youtu.be/_dujyFlX02M?...

@scottlucas.bsky.social @ceoretort.com Just an FYI about Hungary and Ukraine's EU accession you discussed on the show. Magyar intends to stall the process. Link to @kyivindependent.com story below. youtu.be/UApYBtQ1ju8

Never forget what DOGE & those wealthy degenerates like the Mango-manchild & Elmo did to USAID. They talked about scams & fraud, when in fact, USAID was money well spent to help education here in Ukraine. My wife's uni was displaced 3 times & she gives classes online with her USAID laptop for years.

Finally got the Xmas tree up. ruzzia can try all it wants. but at least some of time the lights will shine on our trees in Ukraine!

youtu.be/Bx-pWA5MnLg?... My interview with Oksana is now live on YouTube. One not to miss, 1st Ukrainian woman to graduate from the UK’s Royal Naval College and now heads to war. She is nothing short of inspiring 🙏🇺🇦

@wardcarroll.bsky.social I know you are a dog person and congrats to new mother Ingrid. I am a cat person, and this bemusing video demonstrates why Grumman gave the F-14 the absolutely correct codename - "Don't mess with our carrier battle groups, we have Tomcats"! 😺 www.youtube.com/shorts/8D_5S...

You know you are a refugee cat from Pokrovsk, when you have a blanket like this. HIs name is "Vuchko", named after the cute little mascot for the 1984 Winter Olympics in Yugoslavia. From "Vuk" = Wolf, so Vuchko is kind of diminutive name for "wolf". But it's a proper name like "Peter" or "Paul".

@andy-milburn.bsky.social Heads up Andy, a very relevant article you wrote in 2010, got a mention today by US army vet, Paul Lewandowski, of the Combat Vet News YT chan. Regarding SECDEF Hegseths obtuse attitude to disobeying illegal orders. It's on the right time stamp. youtu.be/Jx_gIWVQ8kk?...

For the third time my block of flats in #Pokrovsk was bombed. This time right in our quarter of the block. Before & after shots. First pic is a shot from the last strike earlier this month, the yellow U is all missing in the recent shot. Red arrow missing part, Yellow arrow my flat location. Fires.😵‍💫

I don't usually post stuff about music. For 2 years my instruments were stuck in #Pokrovsk thanks to pootin's ruzzia. The Jam, Husker Du, Motorhead, always loved the idea of the power trio. @andrewmueller.bsky.social interviews @bobmouldmusic.bsky.social of Husker Du. 🎸 monocle.com/radio/shows/...

Artillery attacks ramp up in my adopted Ukrainian home town where I lived for most of my time in Ukraine. Trumputin's "peace plan" scam going according to plan. My neighbourhood (and flat) was destroyed a couple of weeks ago. We all know what they think of Europe after that signal clown show. 🫤

Makiivka Train station, now in the so-called DNR, August 2014. The angle the artillery came in, was from the north east, so most likely Girkins Ruzzian forces. I wonder if Pushilin or Girkin had these duds removed or just cover them over & leave them. If you ever enter the platform there, GO LEFT!😉

Entering the platform, as above, if you ever visit there, go left, just in case they covered up the unexploded dud shells & left them there. Even without exploding the supersonic shock wave blew out the windows. The curtains are just open to the wind. Station was done up for EURO 2012 football comp.

I noticed something where my wife gives online classes. Her communal staff laptop was provided by #USAID. Her uni was displaced from Donetsk City in 2014 to Pokrovsk, then to west Ukraine. The Russians bombed her uni. My wife's macbook is an old 2011 model. The extra USAID laptop really helps her.

Pokrovsk telecom station, August 2015. We used to have Sunday summer BBQ's there in better times. The interior equipment, a lot of it old Soviet era (but not all). The stray cats of course. That red box is a Soviet "extinguisher" (no modern foam) for electrical fires. The box says "песок" (sand). 🧯

With Pokrovsk under siege. I am digging up some old photos from my library. August 2015. An old abandoned Soviet-era fun park, most likely, for small kids, that maybe survived a decade or more post 1991. There are plenty of these in the simmer all over Ukraine, but they use way newer fun park rides.

The information war had two aspects in 2014 in #Ukraine Online & the old school info war on the streets. August 2014, Makiivka, they spray paint the DNR flag. At night Ukrainian patriots, cross it out & write "не было" (never was). The was more but I can't remember what it said after a decade.

Remember this shit every time these jabronies start talking about how they're doing something to "protect children."

This is a must listen of you have the time 1 hour). Keir Giles is definitely one of the best there is when it comes to talking about this part of the world and the threat our degenerate barbaric neighbour poses for Europe.

They're already talking about it. I knew this would happen. Any surprises ?

@theeasternborder.lv Heya Kristaps. My block of flats got bombed again in #Pokrovsk this week. Video was posted yesterday in the Telegram group for our block. Taken from the main street on the opposite side of the courtyard from the photo I showed you the other week. Block will have to be demolished

Retired RAF Air Marshal Greg Bagwell has been advocating for a no fly-zone over western Ukraine to help with drone & missile CAP's for several years to no avail, but recent American intransigence in the WH has put this idea back on the table. Clip goes for a few minutes, worth a watch.

We got rolled, big time in 1994. 20 years later in 2014, Czar Putin, President Obama and Prime Minister Cameron would treat this agreement like a roll of toilet paper, all three of them are culpable. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRvJ...

A heads up for anyone interested in Wagner Group. This new show from the @theteamhouse.bsky.social drops in 9 hours. It's 3am Ukraine time, so I'll watch it tomorrow.

Happy international book day everyone. Here are my 3 recommendations. If you buy all 3, read them in chronological order from top to bottom as advised by the author @keirgiles.bsky.social FYI, the audio books have no footnotes, so if you have better eyesight than me, purchase e-books or real books

A great show by EYES ON PODCAST from Team House Productions with former Ranger @jackmurphyrgr.bsky.social & former CIA ops officer @mpolymer1.bsky.social hosted by Demetri. Special thanks to Marc for explaining why President Zelensky does not need to apologise to the WH. 👍 youtu.be/EHJm3B5-xD0?...

New Chancellor of Germany Merz campaigned on sending Taurus Cruise Missiles to Ukraine. Will he deliver on his promise ? kyivindependent.com/taurus-missi...

Classic example of the "other siding" BS by Sky News. Steve Bannon. who was charged with money laundering & fundraising fraud for Trumps Mexico Wall, has the hide to call President Zelensky a "Punk". Would Sky News feature a pedophile to make his case for the "other side"" ? youtu.be/-8-rR9E3Tio

In early 2014 @chathamhouse.bsky.social experts recommended implementing visa bans for Russian citizens. In 2023, 9 years later, that finally happened in the Schengen zone. Better 9 years too late then never ? It's on the right time stamp. @keirgiles.bsky.social elaborates youtu.be/V8sJHw2RF-I?...

Michael Binyon peddling Kremlin BS - Crimea was NOT "historically always Russian", it was historically always TATAR. Stalin ethnically cleaned them in 1944. In 1991, a majority of Crimeans, 54%, voted to leave the USSR & became part of Ukraine. It's on the right time stamp. youtu.be/gp3B7fXTPsA?...

A great show from Jonathon M.S. Pearce of @atpgeo.bsky.social with one of my favourite commentators doing the rounds on mass media & podcasts, Professor @scottlucas.bsky.social who has always been rock solid regarding Ukraine, Europe & the Trump dumpster fire. A tad over 1 hour. youtu.be/VGEL-9TJb2g

The latest video from Technology United for Ukraine. Former Navy Seal and prominent member of the team Mathew Creedican is back from his important work in the field here 🇺🇦and co-hosting video's with TFU CEO Brian again. Just under 20 mins. youtu.be/JpY1SjGxp4Q

Re-upping this because, well, it seems particularly relevant today

Well said Mr Kristol. Another good American and true friend of Ukraine.

Former Ranger and Special Forces vet with his thoughts about President Zelensky at the recent Oval Office meeting where the Vance and Trump clown show kept shouting him down. There's a lot of good Americans out there that are still friends of Ukraine and Jack is one of them. 🇺🇸🤜🤛🇺🇦

Splitting off the UK from the EU to weaken and divide it, the ruzzians would never have trolled hard for that like Lord Farage did! So did BOJO btw, but he repented in 2022 and now we have pubs in Ukraine named after him.

Great show by EYES ON POD w/ @andy-milburn.bsky.social @bgsilverback73.bsky.social Mick Mulroy & Demetri. The Chairman of the Rada in 🇺🇦, Ruslan Stefanchuk, is first in order of succession to the presidency, until new presidential elections are held if President Zelensky resigns youtu.be/I3G8ObWzM08

Decent interview @katiecouric.bsky.social did with former Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul to mark the third anniversary of the re-invasion here. (actual invasion was 2014). Key tale away. Trump preaches "peace through strength" but practises "weakness through appeasement"! youtu.be/UOyy571-p-k

Two more pics from #Pokrovsk of my bombed out block of flats I posted from yesterday. First pic, yellow arrow points to where there was a row of shops starting there, just to the left of that hot water pipe, they are gone, wiped out, by the strike. Red arrows point to my balconies. Second pic same.🙁

A sobering wake up call for Europe by Professor @justin-br0nk.bsky.social of RUSI & retired USN F-14 Tomcat RIO @wardcarroll.bsky.social regarding recent events about Ukraine. It's on the right time stamp. Europe can't provide all the services & hardware without the USA. youtu.be/DCBEMTbUif0?...

My block of flats in #Ppkrovsk My ruined flat is 2nd flr. Pokrovsk was under threat after Avdiivka was lost when Mike Johnson held up the aid a year ago, until Trump gave him permission. People in media & YouTube kept peddling "Trumptimism", ignoring all the warning signs & NOW the idiots wake up ?😡

Excellent insight into our situation here, pertaining to the folly of the Trump administrations current appeasement policy about us in Ukraine (without us at the table), by James Sherr OBE, Associate Fellow, Russia & Eurasia Programme @chathamhouse.bsky.social www.chathamhouse.org/2023/06/how-...

I think the US needs former US army Spec Ops guys like Jack Murphy in the US bureaucratic institutions now being violated my Elon Musk and his DOGE script kiddies.

The latest monologue from @nodelusionzone.bsky.social sums it all up. The podcasters ostensibly on our side peddling Trumptimism, I hope you are proud of yourselves. Bunch of us IDP's in west Ukraine would rather have gone with President Harris & her hawkish attitude to Russia. youtu.be/7I2MU0k9vX0

Latest piece from Professor @timothysnyder.bsky.social Thank you Trumptimists! There's a bunch of us twice displaced (2014 & 2022) IDP's from Donbas in west Ukraine that would have rather gone with President Harris & her new team & her hawkish attitude to Russia. substack.com/@snyder/p-15...

Exactly....💯

@timothysnyder.bsky.social Typo alert Professor Snyder. the take civilian lives ---> they take civilian lives ?

I noticed something where my wife gives online classes. Her communal staff laptop was provided by #USAID. Her uni was displaced from Donetsk City in 2014 to Pokrovsk, then to west Ukraine. The Russians bombed her uni. My wife's macbook is an old 2011 model. The extra USAID laptop really helps her.
