So, Russia claims that US provision of defensive Patriot surface-to-air missile systems to #Ukraine makes #NATO a party to the conflict created by the Russian invasion. I say that’s rubbish. Thoughts? #ArmedConflict #InternationalLaw #War

@charleselliott It is Rubbish.

But which statements from the aggressive party have NOT been rubbish?

@dustin Which ones…. <musing>…. Hard to come up with a single one. Seriously, though, the information warfare in this conflict has been impressive to behold.

@charleselliott Yup! But I'm shocked at how badly/laughable the information warfare being conducted by Russia has been. Seems like the rampant internal corruption has compromised many facets of their ability to accomplish their goals.

I really enjoy reading the daily updates from the #nonprofit "Institute for the Study of War" for realistic (non-sensationalist) assessments on both the #ukraine conflict and #iran protest movement.

@dustin The ISW is doing excellent work. I don’t know if you caught the 11/29 webinar presented by the Hayden Center on the ISW’s methods but it was an hour well-spent. The video is on the Hayden Center YouTube channel at https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BjO4FZgpGTE
