Keep them coming. I started a playlist of songs you shared here since the invasion started. So far, 46 songs, 3hr 29min. pic.twitter.com/xJrCbcyuXt
Can't help but perversely appreciate whatever historical wormhole we've fallen into where German tanks rolling across Europe for the first time since 1945 is seen as a big celebratory triumph
Judging form the outburst of frantic tweeting from bots and Kremlin shills, Putin is now just puking blood in the Kremlin.

From “Kyiv will fall within three days” to “Ukraine gets over 100 western tanks, including M1 Abrams.”
This is all thanks to Ukrainian soldiers.
Period.

So, we apparently get 31 M1s.
Of course, that’s a longer-term perspective.

This is the guy who lost the limbs from shrapnel as well his eyesight in 1 eye? You also posted a photo of him with his wife and 2 lovely kids right?
Guys - a little announcement - I was kindly asked to delete a tweet on this disabled SOF operator Andriy Rubliuk because of security reasons. Nonetheless, he’s got your money on treatment, and I’m also sending $5,000 more. Just letting you know to avoid misunderstanding. pic.twitter.com/uz73DuVrYL

Did not know that the Constitution of Ukraine (revised 2019) declares "the duty of the State" to "preserve the gene pool of the Ukranian people" pic.twitter.com/5iaKN8T89j
The strategic genius that is Vladimir Putin has not only succeeded in forcing Germany to end its dependence on Russian energy but he has somehow manoeuvred himself into a situation in which Russian troops are about to face German battle tanks. What a colossal failure.
If you want my honest opinion, 🇩🇪Germany today has scored the very final victory over the shadow of its past. It’s been tempted by deceitful evil, yet it made the most crucial symbolic step. Not without pressure from its friends, but it made it.

Insane footage of a daring Ukrainian GUR assault of the Russian positions at Nova Kakhovka to locate personnel, equipment, and command post. Group successfully completed the mission and returned having destroyed the post and 12 invaders.
Solovyov reacts to media reports that Olaf Scholz has decided to send Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine
He urges Russia to carry out strikes on Germany so that Germans "know which new Nazi leaders they've raised and brought to power"
"You European Pharisees, you Nazi scumbags!"

So the big announcement today is that the US will be deploying a full battalion of Abrams battle tanks to Ukraine. Six months ago, such a move would have barely been conceivable because of its obvious escalatory potential. If this doesn't constitute an "escalation," nothing does pic.twitter.com/D4CdDOJ9Q6
Great,work, but just asking, if you receive lot of money,send lots of money .. don't you have to pay taxes? Were it not wiser to have a foundation, or NGO, to avoid legal problems?

The head of #Ukraine's armed forces Valery Zaluzhny inherited $1 million from a Ukrainian American, Gregory Stepanets. Zaluzhny donated this money to the Ukrainian military.
On this day a year ago, the United States authorized non-essential embassy staff to leave Kyiv at will due to the threat of Russia’s invasion.
And Russian collaborationists accused Ukraine of preparing an “offensive” in Donbas.

Better late than never! The Leopards are released. Several European states will provide #Ukraine with the much needed capability. Slava Ukraini 💛💙

Welcome #LeopardsForUkraine ! Thank you Germany, thank you Europe, UK and US, all who helped this decision.
The world is said to be mired in an unprecedented and "exceedingly dangerous nuclear situation," but the nuclear posture of the US is not cited as a significant contributing factor. Instead the "particularly troubling" designation is reserved for... China thebulletin.org/doomsday-clock… pic.twitter.com/z8NJShxN6l
Here two Ukrainian warriors looking for the Germany tanks 😆

Congratulations my dear @Bundeskanzler.

I have a feeling telling me that the Kremlin might want to accelerate it preparations for new large operations in Ukraine, even at the huge expense of their effectiveness.
If predictions regarding large transfers of MBTs to Ukraine are true, time is running short for Russia.

Reminds me of the Metallica-Song „One“ … damn :((
Fighting corruption will be one of the top priorities in Ukraine going forward. A people who have sacrificed everything to protect its nation are not likely to tolerate corrupt officials.
“A former American special operator died early Thursday morning after being wounded days before fighting alongside the Ukrainian military during intense combat in the eastern frontline city of Bakhmut.” - @JimLaPorta for @RollingStone rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
Navy SEAL Deserter Killed During Intense Ukraine Battle

This is probably the hardest case I’ve seen… The guy is in pain. I really, really hope we’ll bring him back to active life. I’m sad as hell as I watch the pictures of him in the hospital.
I never said they were. I simply summarized and quoted the Times article, which was clearly enough to provoke such rage that it's being resentfully referenced a month and a half later
You either don't know what you're raging about anymore, or can't read. Either way -- sad. From the text of this Times article I cited: beyond merely "re-establishing the diplomatic mission," the UK ground forces "supported other discreet operations" pic.twitter.com/8MJdjN5iIT
Good example of why you should probably at least scan the text of the article before firing off a snarky, judgmental tweet based only on the headline. The 23-year-old girlfriend's "growth was stunted due to treatment she received as a child for brain cancer." The boyfriend is 26
