Meanwhile in Russia: top propagandist Vladimir Solovyov was dispatched to address the youth. He lied up a storm, mixed trash talk with biblical references & veiled nuclear threats & told the young to get ready to march to the front as soon as they're old enough.

I have been hearing the idea from some Republicans that Ukrainian resistance comes at a cost to Americans. Nothing could be more wrong. Ukrainian resistance provides extraordinary security benefits to Americans. 1/

Republicans present China as America’s real, long-term rival. Democrats agree. The scenario for a U.S.-China war is a Chinese invasion of Taiwan. By resisting a Russian invasion, Ukrainians have shown the difficulty of such operations, making this scenario less likely. 3/

For decades, Republican and Democratic administrations alike have failed to formulate a policy that could prevent Russia from weakening and undoing the international order. Russia serves as a cat’s paw, doing what China would not wish to be seen doing. 5/
— Timothy Snyder (@TimothyDSnyder) November 6, 2022

The Ukrainians have reduced the possibility of Chinese aggression through Russia, and made direct Chinese aggression less likely. They have done all of this just by defending themselves, without making any move against China. 7/

No American lives have been placed at risk. U.S. assistance to Ukraine amounts to a rounding error in the defense budget. 9/
— Timothy Snyder (@TimothyDSnyder) November 6, 2022

It is awkward to say that another country is doing so much for us. It is awkward to say that Ukrainian resistance has done more for the safety of Americans than any U.S. policy since the end of the cold war. But it is true and must be said. 11/
— Timothy Snyder (@TimothyDSnyder) November 6, 2022

My concerns about the Russian invasion of Ukraine are the prevention of genocide and the defense of democracy. But those who think first of U.S. interests should acknowledge what Ukrainians are doing for American security. The least we can do is be on our own side 13/13

The irony of saying bad people deserve death when you have putin as your leader!

Russian battle mage Mikhail Vasiliev, who is known for advising Russian mothers to give birth to more children so that they would not be so afraid to send their sons to war, died in the war in Ukraine on November 6, 2022.
P.S: hope his mother has multiple children https://t.co/JJR501jGcz pic.twitter.com/6yOsqKMHCF

More from #Pavlivka. Russian tank units tried to advance into the village, but were ambushed by Ukrainian defenders. One tank is hit, the second tank and the crew of the hit one are running. https://t.co/cgMI9m9xyy pic.twitter.com/dleP1HvAFu

Meanwhile in Russia: Putin's crony Yevgeny Prigozhin about U.S. elections: "We have interfered, we're interfering and we will continue to interfere. Carefully, precisely, surgically and in our own way; we know how to do it." pic.twitter.com/VV0fkPEOvY

Hopefully the Ukrainians really have made China think twice about making any moves against their neighbors in Asia, especially Taiwan.

Like that Twitter thread says, that'll depend on the follow through.

You'd have to be pretty insane to look at Ukraine and think "I want some of that but harder" Lol. China's military on paper is stronger than Russia's but we also assumed Russia's military was strong because of what is on paper, China's modern military has even less combat experience than even Russia does.

Taiwan has a geographical advantage that Ukraine doesn't (a sea between them), Taiwan has had way more prep time than Ukraine, Taiwan has way more modern equipment than Ukraine, Taiwan has more reason to be defended by allies than Ukraine, the list goes on. China could make a play for Taiwan, but the cost would be absolutely enormous.

However, if Russia ultimately did win, it could make China think the cost is worth it by the end, no matter how many hundreds of thousands have to die for it, it isn't like China/Russia give a shit about their citizens, so we need to remain united economically and militarily against Russia and ensure they lose, badly.

Another massive day for Ukraine
looks like Ukraine will have destroyed 3000 Russian tanks before the end of the months. An important achievement as some analyst estimate that this is the total number of tanks Russia has that is in working order or could be realistically restored to participate in this conflict. No wonder why Ukraine often capture tanks made in the 60s

also this guy make pretty good daily video on which he focus on specific contested area. this one help explain a lot of the recent increase in lost we've seen for Russia during last week.

90% of Ukrainians believe that in 10 years time, Ukraine will be a prosperous EU country.

Even more stunning 96% are ready for temporary material difficulties to achieve it.

The determination of Ukrainians only continues to amaze.
