The US designating Wagner a criminal organization does not go far enough.
Russia should be designated a state sponsor of terrorism / rogue regime, and Wagner a terrorist organization.
Both are LONG overdue.

Ah yes, memories of when most experts and journalists were claiming that Ukraine "exaggerates" the threat Russia poses. They spent years carrying water for Russia - both as useful idiots and as agents. Dumb or corrupt, the end result was the same.

Imagine what a total asshole you have to be to write that Ukraine exaggerates the threat Russia poses. RU's unlawful war is half a decade old, has displaced upwards of 3 mln & includes crimes against humanity.
Only one party is interested in downplaying Russia's threat: Moscow.

Let's be honest: It's a joke to say we support Ukrainian defence and victory if we continue to protect Russian missile attacks at the source. It's part of Ukraine's LEGAL RIGHT TO DEFENCE to strike every single military target in Russia. Let's support it!

Ukraine "says the Russians are learning from their battlefield mistakes and making it harder for Ukraine’s missiles to hit their ammunition depots and logistics hubs. That’s why, they say, Ukraine needs longer range missiles that can reach inside Russia."

I'm sorry to report that my University has really let Ukrainian students down. Sharing here a note from @uvic's Ukrainian Students' Society on the escalating harassment and hate that they 've faced from the Young Communist League - a ratified club.

And since most probably don’t know, the western journos happily smiling next to the KNOWN murderous Russian war criminal in this picture from a Moscow bar are:
•Andrew Roth, then NYTimes, now The Guardian
•Noah Sneider, The Economist
•Olaf Koens, from the Netherlands
Quote Tweet
I remember this photo of the “liberal” Russian and western journos chumming it up with the murderous Russian war criminal well. I also remember how they defended their despicable actions. And people trust THEM for honest news about Russia and its unlawful war on Ukraine? Sick. twitter.com/sumlenny/statu…

I can't stop tweeting about "Novaya Gazeta", granted a Nobel Prize as if it was a free pro-democratic media. Another case: in June 2015, one of Novaya's star reporters Kanygin met Russian terrorist Borodai, responsible for mass killings in Ukraine, and made a happy photo with him

Never forget that it took a Western village to help Moscow grow into the menace it is today. Without its support in the West, Russia would have never been able to achieve many of its evil goals.

The biggest escalation risk is not defeating Russia properly and thoroughly.
Quote Tweet
It is not enough to liberate Ukrainian territory. If we do not militarily & politically defeat Russia, it WILL strike Ukraine again AND aim for NATO nations. Don't think it's about "not provoking" Moscow. RU intends - and WILL - strike when ready, not when mythically "provoked". twitter.com/GicAriana/stat…

News of a Russian helicopter shot down over Ukraine bearing the inscription “На Берлин” “To Berlin” should be taken seriously
In 2014, Russian tanks rolling through east UA bore the words, “На Киев” “To Kyiv”

The arbitrary and artificial limits imposed on military support for Ukraine is revealed by lifting many of these “must not cross” self-imposed limits.
Not implementing a humanitarian military mission in UA is also an artificial self-imposed red line which costs Ukrainian lives.

As people prepare their “1 year anniversary” articles & social media posts, I must remind all that Russia’s war of aggression is approaching its NINE YEAR anniversary.
Please see my thread below for a tiny dose of reality about Moscow’s genocidal war of extermination against UA:

It is 100% false and grossly unethical to say that Russia's war of aggression started in Feb 2022.
Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014. It has been waging that SAME war of aggression EVER SINCE.
ONE war. NINE years.

Russians rape four year old Ukrainian children. Physical, sexual, and psychological violence against CHILDREN are part of Russia’s arsenal against Ukrainians. IT IS A POLICY. But do keep pretending that this is an aggressor which can be reasoned with if they lose “just enough”.

Ukrainian defence against Russian barbarianism and savagery means that Russian missiles don't land in YOUR kitchens.
But if we do not help Ukraine achieve full and complete victory and Russian defeat, those missiles WILL come to our western kitchen tables.

Russia’s attack on the 2016 U.S. election to install a pro-Putin regime was an act of hybrid war meant to sabotage the federal government; it caused decades of damage and the loss of American lives. Charles McGonigal aided and abetted the enemy by intentionally giving it cover.
Quote Tweet
BREAKING: Senior FBI official who led 2016 investigation finding no link between Trump and Russia, Charles McGonigal, has now been arrested for taking and laundering money for Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska.
The Kremlin infiltration of America goes VERY deep.

And don't forget that Russia shot MH17 - a civilian passenger airliner - clear out of the sky over Ukraine on July 17, 2014, with a Buk 9M38 surface-to-air missile, killing every single person on board. 193 of 298 the victims were Dutch citizens.

These children are now in their mid-late teens. These photos of elementary schools in Ukraine to protect Ukrainian children from Russian shelling are from 2017 and 2018.
NOT 2022 or 2023. WHY? Because Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014. The war in approaching its TENTH year.
