I was just a “crap hat” with an exemplary service record who was never binned off ops, but given their record of utterly moronic media appearances as a result of poor leadership & unit culture, I don’t know why 3 Para isn’t just disbanded with senior officers & NCOs discharged.

The week in Tory MPs so far: one convicted of molesting a minor, another having to apologise for defending said paedophile, PM and chancellor convicted of breaking the COVID laws they wrote. And it’s only Fucking Tuesday.
So my “civvie” account has been locked because I offended a hate spewing far right sycophantic wig wearing Boris knob jockeying policitian. It was almost immediate, yet they let that utter fuckwit keep posting.
Just taking a moment to appreciate the new-wave allyness of the lady in this footage. She’s killing Russians with peak combat casual style, wtf are you doing with ya shooters belt? #allynesssaveslives

Bombing of maternity hospital in Ukraine is a Putin prod to the West to overreach and eg enforce a no-fly-zone. Don’t fall for it - the plan (sanctions, isolation, arms shipments) is working. Stick with it.

Good news from the streets of Kyiv, many of the shops have fresh fruit and veg on the shelves, there has been a restock! After a few tough days, there are currently no long queues for food here in the city centre.
So much for all that A2AD we were worried about….

Big Thread: After a few more days of war, I've been carefully monitoring Russian social media reaction and production and I'm more convinced than before that Putin's regime has totally overestimated its ability to win a propaganda war.
You don’t even have to look far to find “he’s in league with Gates & Soros’” posts, even from sitting US republican politicians. I don’t doubt much of the UK left wing response is also driven by antisemitism.

This is Dmitry Utkin - callsign "Wagner" - the founder of the Kremlin's "Wagner Group" PMC.
Yes; that is a Nazi Eagle tattooed on his chest, and those are Nazi SS 'Schutzstaffel' runes tattooed on his collarbones.
Because unlike Jewish Zelensky, Utkin really *is* a neo-Nazi.
You literally cannot make it up. Putin reportedly sending mercenaries from the Wagner Group - named after Hitler's favourite composer - to #Ukraine on a mission to kill its Jewish president and "deNazify" the country thetimes.co.uk/article/volod…
I guess this is what happens when your major exercises are choreographed show pieces exacerbated by a culture that punishes initiative & imagination, lacks trust in subordinates, & demonstrates no mission command.

If you're gonna listen to any speech about #Ukraine 🇺🇦, let it be this one.
The Kenya ambassador to the UNSC perfectly explains how people across Africa understand Ukraine, and what the Kremlin's acts of aggression mean in our post-colonial world.

If you want to know how Ukrainians react to Putin's speech, here's a glimpse: moms on Facebook discuss putting stickers on their children's clothes, when they go to school, indicating their blood type. Make no mistake: this speech was perceived as a declaration of war on Ukraine
