“Two explosions at major Russian military bases, including the Dyagilevo base near Ryazan just 150 miles from Moscow, mean the war in Ukraine has come right to Vladimir Putin’s doorstep.

The explosions—which may have been missile or drone strikes but that has yet to be confirmed—suggest that whoever is behind them wanted to strike fear right in the heart of Russia.”

Rapidity is the essence of war: take advantage of the enemy's unreadiness, make your way by unexpected routes, and attack unguarded spots.

Take the fight to the enemy, Ukraine is making all the right moves.

This may complicate any further aid they get as most NATO countries don't want the conflict to expand into Russia while they are arming the Ukrainians.

I mean this is a fight that Russia picked so as far as that's concerned it's fair game, but I'd hate to see this hurt Ukraine's ability to completely push the Russians out of their territory, including Crimea.

True. But I see their approach as tactically sound for sure. Might strategically end up with some repercussions as you say, but taking the fight directly to them, specifically targeting sites that will hinder Russia's ability to pursue the war, is smart.

They definitely run the risk of causing a “rally behind the flag and defend the motherland” with attacks on Russian soil.

Man I'm just not going to actually go to twitter's website. I hate the way things are laid out and navigating it. I really hope we are seeing the beginning of the end of that ****ing thing.

Regardless, it’s a tremendous resource connecting experts on this subject with regular people. I have a love hate relationship with it. On one hand there’s a lot of trashy people and trolls on it. On the other hand it is a tremendous resource. Just imagine how little we’d know about demonstrations taking place in Iran or China if we depended on our crappy corporate media? The entire dynamic of the Russia/Ukrainian war would be different too. Heck, the entire Never Trump movement, uniting liberals and principled conservatives is largely dependent on Twitter.

Imo, Facebook is far more destructive. It serves no purpose other than to spread disinformation and ravage social ties. I never become more depressed than when I log onto Facebook (I don’t post anything I just log on once in a while) and see friends from high school who’ve lost their damn minds. They’re usually balls deep into Covid conspiracy, anti vax sewage, and Trumpworship

My number one issue with twitter is the website. Navigating it. Trying to use it to find what I'm there looking for. I mean granted I've spent less than 1hr total in my entire life trying, but that was enough. I hate the way that **** is laid out. That is the primary reason I've never used twitter. I don't care about experts or anything else. Using that website is like grating my balls with a rasp.

In the run up to the 2016 election, I posted quite a few political screeds and articles on Facebook. This resulted in angry replies from some friends. Not a lot, but it was silly to rile people up, and it’s not like nobody knew what was going on, and needed my two cents in the first place.

Now I post only stuff that will bring a smile to people’s faces, or interesting stories from various scientific disciplines, new discoveries, etc. I never post anything pertinent to either our politics or our culture wars. One of my friends seems to spend his days posting politics and culture war, and I will on occasion post comments to his threads, but otherwise I don’t even see political postings from my Facebook friends at all. And they see none from me.

He's trying to turn Ukraine into a one-party police state? Oh no, then Ukraine would be like Russia, better get Russia in there to incorporate them into their one-party police state which is directly hostile to the U.S. and our allies.

How can this clown say such ridiculous nonsense and have his audience play along is astounding.

He is blatantly running Russian state propaganda on his program.
