As unhappy as many Ukrainians may be with Zaluzhny’s dismissal, everyone — including the general — recognizes the elected President’s right to do so, and the focus remains on fighting the enemy. Don’t expect internal strife and public protests in Ukraine over the move. https://t.co/ESVEmbuczy

This reform agenda, laid out in President Zelenskyy's speech today about the dismissal of General Zaluzhnyi, is worth studying. There are some very interesting aspects. 1/8 🧵 pic.twitter.com/oZaDJQ3ysc

3/ 2nd, there is reference to logistics issues. This is not a new issue; it has been examined by analysts for some time. But it is obviously a priority for Zelenskyy because it has battlefield implications & implications for Ukraine's relationship with those providing support.

5/ 4th, training. The counter offensive showed shortfalls in combined arms scaling as well as the integration of supporting elements. There have also been issues with basic training because of time available for training. Much that NATO can do to assist here.

7/ Finally, the new drone force highlights the need for wider transformation in how military forces - in Ukraine and beyond - need to think differently about their warfighting concepts and organisations. Much to be done here, in Ukraine and in the west.

The interview did NOT go the way I expected it to from the small parts I've read and heard, in fact, it looks more like an embarrassment for Tucker, Putin legit rambled on about "history" for over 30 minutes with Tucker barely asking any questions, ain't even his far right moron fanbase going to sit and listen to that bore, Lol.

Bonus points for Putin fucking mocking him to his face.

46 minutes into his history lesson, Putin stops to mock Tucker for applying to the CIA when he was younger and getting rejected. pic.twitter.com/oyoADwytpI

What can you expect though, Tucker isn't a journalist, he literally sat there just to be a soundboard for Putin, Lol.

Apparently Putin’s interview with ⁦@TuckerCarlson⁩ is being shown in history classes at Russian schools today. Shows he was speaking just as much to a Russian as a US audience. pic.twitter.com/QGFNtmwykZ

Putin made it clear in interview yesterday that they are holding the WSJ journalist just in order to try to force 🇺🇸 to get 🇩🇪 to release a 🇷🇺 contract killer they have used there, but who failed in the sense that he got arrested. This is dirty as a game could get. https://t.co/jBPMRNgJIG

I feel compelled to make one last post after watching the full interview.
I was impressed by how Tucker conducted the interview, giving Putin push back during some questions. He pretty much called Putin a hypocrite, for claiming to be Christian as he is killing people. I also liked how at the end Tucker attempted to negotiate with Putin to free another American journalist.

I didn't like Putin's responses. I've seen people keep praising him for being able to recite history for half an hour, but he conveniently couldn't recollect the dates of his meetings with other world leaders (said to 'look it up online'). Also, he is a hypocrite. You cannot reconcile following Christ with what he is doing, no matter how you slice it.

I feel for all the innocent civilians who are caught up in this. It seems like a deliberate failure of leadership on all sides, with malicious intent.
I pray for peace.

Sorry, I get so exasperated ready stances like this all the time. So one country decides another shouldn't exist as it used to be part of itself, invades unprovoked and commits numerous massacres and atrocities and somehow its a 'failure of leadership on all sides'?

No, it the crass, power-hungry attitude of one leadership who decides he should subjugate that the other country despite that having no interest in leaving under his country's thumb.

And peace in what sense? As I see a lot of people push for this notion but it often is really just a veil for 'I don't care about that place so I wanna stop having to send money there'. I doubt a 'peace' where Ukraine is absorbed into Russia or at best operates as Russia's vassal state is a 'peace' that is desirable to Ukrainians.

A true peace would be where Russia is turned back and Ukrainians can exist without the fear of Russia attacking again in the future.
