Harley Whitehead was living in Kyiv when Russians launched an #invasion in February 2022.
A citizen of the UK, he moved to #Ukraine in 2019 and was teaching English. But after the invasion began, he went to study how to become an #EOD tech in Kosovo.
“#Musk’s decision, which left Ukrainian officials begging him to turn the satellites back on, was driven by an acute fear that Russia would respond to a Ukrainian attack on Crimea with nuclear weapons, a fear driven home by Musk’s conversations with senior Russian officials” #Ukraine#Russia
#Latvia says it's reinforcing security on its #border with #Belarus after 96 'illegal crossings' were attempted in 24 hours. Staff are being recalled from leave. The State Border Guard said it had information about a possible increase in hybrid risk. Tension between Belarus and its western neighbours has been further heightened after members of the #Russian mercenary group, #Wagner , moved to Belarus.
#Poland has held its biggest #military#parade since the Cold War as its military clout grows in the context of the #Russian#invasion of #Ukraine. The parade in #Warsaw marked the Polish defeat of Russian-led Bolshevik forces in 1920. The country is providing extensive military support for neighbouring Ukraine. The defence minister, Mariusz Blaszczak, told the crowd Poland had built a powerful military that would defend its #border without hesistation.
Meanwhile, in Tokyo.. meanwhile, in a space station.. meanwhile, in some hokey-ass town in the middle of nowhere.. meanwhile, in some English school.. meanwhile, in an American outpost in Afghanistan.. meanwhile, in suburbia somewhere..
Seriously. #Invasion gets one more episode to tie all of this disparate shite together and get cohesive or it’s going bye bye from my next-up list.
A few years ago the Apple TV series Invasion came out. I thought it was good if a little slow. Always thought the ending was strange but didn’t think anything of it.
Season 2 just came out, and I went to watch it tonight only to realize I never watched the last episode. I thought the penultimate episode was the finale. Let’s just say the finale was better than I thought it was. Lol #invasion#appletv#Television

here is a hint.....
the US is sending 31 more M109s....
the ONLY reason that they would be sending more artillery like that is that the supply of ammo has caught up and the increase in ammo production world wide can now handle the new guns. facts matter
According to the count of the former editor in chief of the now defunct #Russian liberal #radio station #Ekho Moskvy (Echo of Moscow) #Russia 's full scale #invasion of #Ukraine is on for 500 days. Russia's main #opposition politician Alexey #Navalny has spent as of now 900 days in prison while US journalist Evan #Gershkovich has been jailed 100 days ago
All the people arguing against cluster munitions are clueless.
Nothing annihilates enemy formations faster than US made DPICM cluster rounds. EVERY soldier and general wants their own artillery to fire lots of DPICM rounds onto enemy formations
massively reduces casualties on the side WITH the DPICM rounds.
All the European countries that signed up to the cluster ammo treaty did so against the will of their officers and soldiers, AND ALL of these European countries made it clear that Article 21 4-d allows them to request an ally (= the US) to fire cluster munitions on their behalf, IF these countries don't explicitly request the use of cluster munitions.
And worst of all: this treaty was cooked up because of the Soviet Union's and russia's indiscriminate use of cluster munitions
against villages, towns, and cities... and guess what: russia hasn't signed this treaty.
It's a 🤡🤡 treaty, that serious countries should ditch - like Finland, Poland, South Korea, India, Brazil, Estonia, Latvia, Greece, who never even signed this ridiculous nonsense.

Author Scott Elder shows #Nüfekop from the inside out, poking fun at a few of the somewhat innocent decisions that were made back in the 1980's during the golden age of home gaming.
On AppleTV+. “Invasion is a sweeping, character-driven science fiction drama series that follows an alien invasion through different perspectives around the world. The action-packed second season of Invasion picks up just months later with the aliens escalating their attacks in an all out war against the humans."
