Some #Soviet history for you:
The technological heart of the #USSR was #Ukraine
#Dnipropetrovsk (aka #Dnipro) was nicknamed "Rocket City" during the #ColdWar
So when #Russia invaded Ukraine, Ukrainian innovation answered. Russia has been paying for that miscalculation ever since, and will pay a lot more for their colossal error
Ukrainian ingenuity will win this stupid war

When the Kremlin invaded Ukraine, I said to my wife, "Ukraine was the engineering division of Soviet inc. for good reasons. Though this will inevitably hurt Ukrainians deeply, I think Ukraine will make the russians pay a very very high price for attacking."
She and I have been contributing to Ukraine assistance since 2022.
yeah, we can't downplay the suffering and just drumbeat for victory
but ultimately the choice is ukraine's
and so far they have said: "this is very painful, but we will not submit to ethnofascist imperialist colonialist genocide"
ukraine has heart. ukraine has a backbone
oh how i wish so many entitled, dissipated millions in the west would see and listen to what it takes, and learn to fight. instead of this endless empty whining and cynical acceptance
@benroyce @Lsamuelson57 Ukraine has history, Ukraine has civilisation, Ukraine has love.
Russia only steals civilisations, strips them down for parts, calls it ”Rossija”, and complains it’s not great yet.
