I just read up on Petr Pavel.
-39 years military service
-hawkish on russia
-strong NATO proponent
-strong Ukraine advocate
-has a concealed carry license
-is an atheist
It's rare that I like a politician, but holy hell, I like him.
USA, less MTGs & more Petr Pavels, please
Unpopular opinion: I agree 100%.
-Israel is nowhere near depleting their necessary arms.
-Israel's not getting carpet bombed.
-You can't cite the border when wanting to fund Ukraine then forget it when funding Israel.
Israel shouldn't see a dime until Ukraine aid is funded.
I am ashamed of my country right now.
Cowards on the left and traitors on the right. All of them bastards.
Ukraine deserves better.
The United States does not deserve to call itself a bastion of freedom, not the way we've been acting the past decade.
The United States and United Kingdom have succeeded in doing what fascist, genocidal Russia cannot. They have made many Ukrainians feel like they are irrelevant and dispensable. As they defend Americans and Brits with their lives, DC and London told Ukrainians they do not matter.
Someone at the gym asked about the symbol on my hat.
I got to explain a bit about the tryzub and how I bought it from a Ukrainian company that supports the cause (

I hope more folks ask about it when I'm out and about.

Anywho. Here's me rocking my

That's before we account for how Trump treated the Khan family in 2016, how he shit on John McCain, how he said he prefers his war heroes uncaptured.
Had a Dem said that, pitchforks. But because Trump said it, he gets a pass 🙄 (5)
Obviously, I still fuck with some vets, like
@Longtstanding
and
@RossElderWrites
. There is an added connection of shared experience.
As a whole, though? The vet community is really "the community of far right people who happened to have served." Miss me with that BS. (6/END)
They say that combat forges an unbreakable bond amongst those who undergo it together.
Bullshit.
I was cut off by so many of my "brothers" because I refused to get on the Trump train. I don't keep in touch with many guys from my old unit as a result. (3)
Then you have dipshits like the ones going after
@RealAndyMerc
above, claiming we didn't take the oath because we refuse to abandon allies or align ourselves with fascist two-bit thugs.
If I had a dollar for every time I heard that, I'd be eating well. (4)
For the longest time post-Iraq, I placed the highest priority on veterans. If you served, I automatically fucked with you. Doubly so if you were combat arms and especially if you were infantry. That camaraderie is hammered into you.
Then along came Trump. (2)
Not gonna lie, totally figured unless a Ukrainian gifted me one it'd be off limits.
With this clarification from

It's that military mindset. He knows the effective range of an excuse is 0 meters. Work the problem, accomplish the mission.
We need more leaders like that.
@RealAndyMerc
Not a problem 🙌🏾 I'm just glad I'm not alone feeling this way. Wish it wasn't the case and the camaraderie was as universal as they told us it would be.
Oh, well, just gotta drive on 🤘🏾
Another night in the Precincts of Pain. Channeling my inner Jon Bernthal between sets 😂

My primary purpose on Twitter is to support the 🇺🇦 cause through awareness & boosting fundraisers.
Secondary to that is making connections with like-minded folk, such as

Tertiary is promoting my books, which focus on the threat that 🇷🇺 poses globally.

I propose giving MTG russian citizenship, stripping her of her American citizenship, and shipping her ass to Moscow.
I mean, she's so hell bent on doing the Kremlin's bidding, anyway, and they agree with her bass-ackwards bigoted views. It's a match made in heaven
Some thoughts on the two-year anniversary of russia's escalation of the war.
My apologies in advance to Ukrainian folks for butchering the pronunciation at the end.

Gather around. Thread time. 🧵
I'm sure folks have seen the reaction to
@lyssafella
's thread on the 🇮🇱/🇵🇸 debate. Lots of strong reactions. It's a hot button topic.
Let's chat. (1)
@McFaul
Sorry, Mr. Ambassador, this is not a good take.
🇺🇦s are the ones fighting & dying right now. We should be listening to them.
The overwhelming majority of 🇺🇦s I've seen point out Navalny's proposed policies weren't much different from Putin's.
We should be supporting 🇺🇦s.
Speaker Mike Johnson is demanding that Congress pass $17 billion in stand alone military aid just for Israel (nothing for Ukraine).
"Next week, we will take up and pass a clean, standalone Israel supplemental package."
I'm sorry, but why are we helping secure Israel's borders
Whoever wished for the dummy to come to life, wish it reversed. Sick of MTG being a braindead vatnik сука and a museum in Lyon is missing its cave dweller exhibit
David Cameron should be concerned about the Nazis in Ukraine’s army, the Azov Battalion.
We’re all sick of the absurd name calling, it isn’t going to bully me into funding the war in Ukraine.
Filmed this a few days ago, just now getting around to posting it.
Closed the fundraiser and donated $200 total to

To everybody that made a purchase or shared the link, thank you!

I'm all for calling out the administration's weakness.
What annoys me are the ones that allow their frustration to consume them to the point of wishing what Ukraine has suffered upon the US & the ones who think Trump would do a better job.
Neither apply here; I agree w/you 100%
So let me get this straight.
Marco Rubio votes against aiding Ukraine, which would hurt Russia.
Now he turns around and agrees Russia is posing a threat and a response is required.
I can't tell if he is incompetent or mercurial.
Started raining about 10 min into my ruck. I HATE rain.
But, I've got it easy. Not clearing out trenches of orcs or anything, so I can't really bitch.
Plus, everybody wants to be a gangster until it's time to do gangster shit.

I really don't like Laura Loomer. Never met her. But the only thing that comes to mind when I think of Laura Loomer is "mouth breathing fuckface."
I don't have a single negative feeling about Ukraine, or

What about all of you?
$60 Billion more to Ukraine. Fuck these clowns. Fuck those flags. Fuck this administration. Fuck Joe Biden. And if you think this is a good thing, fuck you, too.

Today, I turn 36 years old.
I decided to celebrate by donating $9 to four fundraisers so that I've chipped in a dollar for every year I've been alive.
Follow the thread to see the fundraisers:
If I didn't care about the 🇺🇦 cause, I'd have ditched Twitter ages ago. It's a cesspool of porn bots and 🇷🇺/🇨🇳/🇮🇷 propaganda.
Countering that propaganda is important.
🇺🇦 victory is paramount.
#СлаваУкраїні
Hot take: trying to convince AOC to sign the discharge petition is as useful as trying to get MTG to sign it.
AOC is fine with dead Ukrainians & no humanitarian aid to Gaza if it means ending aid to Israel. She's lock step with Tlaib & Omar there.
It's a waste of time.
"free speech"
meanwhile, there are Nazis on this platform wishing death on Jews and dropping N-bombs with hard Rs
But I make one comment about a certain kind of pod-based detergent and instaban 🙄
Elmo sucks.
I have an idea for a supplemental to the Ukraine bill.
Should the bill pass, anyone who voted nay AND voted yea for any of MTG's insane amendments must register as a russian foreign agent.
@NatalkaKyiv
In russian lies, you often find russian confessions.
"SBU blew up Mariupol to accuse us of war crimes!" has a very "FSB false flag casus belli of the Chechen War" feel to it
Just to temper expectations:
-expect Senate vatniks like Rand Paul, Tuberville, Cringe Mike Lee, etc to delay the vote as long as possible
-it'll still take weeks for the aid to arrive. expect 🇷🇺 to intensify attacks in that time
Still, glad the House bill passed. 🇺🇦
I strongly suspect that 🇷🇺--either through 🇮🇷 or directly--encouraged 10/07 to draw Western support from 🇺🇦 and redirect it to 🇮🇱.
If that was their play, it worked. Aid was delayed for months.
I also suspect that governments weren't their only targets. (4)
Got to catch up with my brother

These photos are about sixteen years apart. Pretty close to the day: we deployed to Iraq in March of 2008.

I love that the Ukrainians I've met are a proud people.
Not in the jingoistic "I have to shit on others" fashion you see from orcs or МАГА.
They just genuinely love their history & culture & love when others wish to learn about or share in it.
I dig that.

I'd say maybe 80-85% straight right wing, 10-15% libertarian, and 5 left of center of any stripe if I'm going for more accuracy.
Most military recruits hail from the Bible Belt. In blue state culture it's generally frowned upon to join the military instead of going to college
What's the solution?
I believe it's through learning two things:
-learning to discuss the topic dispassionately, and
-learning to agree to disagree.
These are easier said than done. Hell, I still struggle with this. It's an ongoing process. (7)
