PSYOP but not a Green Beret
Combat veteran but nothing valorous
Worked intel programs but not James Bond
Iraq X 2 (uniform & civilian)
Afghanistan X 1 (DoD civilian)
Just an average guy with cool photos

- This is probably the last major anniversary that these veterans will experience. It’s the 80th anniversary and they were at least 18 at the time they fought. Most of these folks are around 100 years old now. National treasures, the lot of them.World War II veterans waiting for their charter flight at Dallas-Fort Worth taking them to commemorations marking the 80th anniversary of D-Day, June 6, 1944. @starsandstripes
- 🧵 I just witnessed ~45 minutes of footage of the October 7th terrorist attack at the @AtlanticCouncil courtesy of @IsraelinUSA along with colleagues from think tanks across the ideological spectrum. What I saw was worse than I’ve ever seen. Pure evil. ***Trigger Warning***
- The baseless hostility towards Canada is bizarre
- Russia illegally invaded Ukraine. Russian troops are committing war crimes in Ukraine. The war will end if Russia withdraws. If Ukraine removes its defenses, Ukraine will no longer exist. There is no moral equivalency. This is not that complicated.
- “Hamas didn’t mistreat the hostages” they held in underground tunnels against their will for nearly two months after torturing, raping, and executing some of their unarmed relatives is an idiots’ take on the situation
- The U.S. response to the Battle of Dunkrik was to order all U.S. military arsenals to send all available war materiel to Britain to replace the lost equipment. It wasn’t believing German propaganda and running around screaming money laundering and corruption like five year olds.
- Ukraine came to the aid of the United States after we were attacked on 9/11 and deployed troops to support the ISAF mission in Afghanistan for almost 14 years
- Crimea is Ukraine
- Ukraine has offered to send Shahid drones to help locate the Iranian President
- 🧵 THREAD 🧵 Some of the biggest pro-Russia propaganda Twitter accounts are run by criminals and dirt bags Let’s take a look
- Snowden stole 1.5 million highly classified files, almost all had nothing to do with domestic surveillance and fled to Russia. He’s a traitor and doesn’t deserve a pardon. He could have went to Congress, IG, etc. He didn’t and instead went to China and then Moscow.
- The U.S. hasn’t imposed new sanctions on Russia after Putin ignored POTUS on a ceasefire Then Putin struck the British Council and EU mission in Kyiv It went unanswered Now drones over Poland This will continue until Putin is held accountable and we impose cost on Russia
