It's a 74 tweet thread. You have to Google translate each tweet.

But it's as good an analysis of recent events in Ukraine as I have read.

The latest from Ukraine:

The new American MLRS (HIMARS) was used for the first time yesterday. It took out an orc HQ in Izyum. So Vlad held an emergency meeting last night and the orcs launched a few of their million dollar cruise missiles (Which they don't have a lot of now. They haven't launched any in months) into civilian apartment buildings in Kyiv. Don't know what a US rocket costs for one of those things but it ain't a million. As the saying goes: Vlad is a master strategist.
Ukraine has decided to defend Lysyschanz (sp?), the city across the river from Severodonetz. It's on an elevation and their artillery is stationed there. That means for now there is a road in and a means for resupply. The Russians are only using mercenary Wagner forces some of whom are over 45 and reserve troops with as little as a few days training to lead the ground assault.
Normally I'd post supporting tweets but I'm travelling so a little pressed for time. Everything is true except for the Vlad meeting. That's a rumor.

Congress should subpoena Alito, Barrett and Kavanaugh

and have them explain why they lied at their confirmation hearings.
When they whine they are immune explain it's a preliminary inquiry into whether they should be impeached for committing perjury.
They should be made to pay a price.

Russia appears to be running out of artillery shells?

Read the thread.

Can't wait for August.

Def Mon is pretty sharp and he's not sure what it means.
