The lack of unfurling on the twatter posts is annoying. This one is rather important.

I agree! The string of twitter posts are getting on my nerves. I would love to read them but I almost don't even want to open this thread now.

I'm sorry. On my end when I post the twitter link it automatically embeds the tweet and all its content. Should I c/p and post separately the tweet content?

We always have the option of going to twatter and searching all the different twatter's to obtain the information on our own. I find it easier to appreciate what others are doing and 'suffer' with the occasional slowness of the software to pull the twats in and open them here.

There is a ”number” that the Russian military/intelligence apparatus and leadership has in mind. Amongst its many variables, will be the ratio of Russian to Ukraine forces- of all kinds. When that ”number“ is reached, and no recognized earthly forces will be able to successfully respond, Putin will order the taking of much of what was Czarist Russia. To stand in his/Russia’s way, will be fruitless...

Right now, as far as Ukraine is concerned, not only has the writing been on the wall, but the voluminous lists of humans to be exterminated or enslaved, is being dusted-off, and added to... Russia will attempt to do this “right,” and not have to do too much clean-up afterward. They’ve been involved as participants in asymmetric warfare, both as defender and aggressor. They will attempt to leave all who oppose them with no options, but total surrender.

Anybody who expects the Biden Administration to help them, is sadly mistaken. The days of American intervention, of riding to the rescue of those in peril, are now over. Leaderless resistance will engender the slaughter of all who attempt this, they will be vilified, and the practitioners will be attacked by their own citizens. In less than a generation, national boundaries will vanish, and only “Russians” will be left behind...

THIS will be the New Russia, and only China or India will stand in its way...

If you assisted in the “election” of the current Administration, only you can be blamed...

Have a nice life- while you can...

Many of those tweets just don't resolve when the links are copied and pasted. They also won't resolve when using the EMBED function on twitter.

I will sometimes have to make a screen capture like this tweet that would not resolve (unfurl).

Its really appreciated if you can! For months, I couldn't read tweets at all if they weren't c/p here. (I'm not a Twitter member). They work now, but so often the tweet you posted disappears quickly, and then a link and unfurl doesn't maintain a copy. But a c/p does...

Don't know if this is normal or not for Moscow.

There was a tweet yesterday talking about a supposed checkpoint at one major highway bridge in Moscow.

Here is a screen grab just now in Moscow.

As of 5 o'clock on April 20th, Russian forces invading Ukraine have attacked Zolote-4 (adjacent to a "disengagement area" from which Ukrainian forces were withdrawn in 2019) and Vodyane (north of Donetsk airport which Russian forces destroyed in 2015). https://mil.gov.ua/news/2021/04/20/vechirne-zvedennya-shhodo-situaczii-v-rajoni-provedennya-operaczii-obednanih-sil-stanom-na-17-00-20-kvitnya-2021-roku/

Reminds me of Duduman's 1997 The Bear Awakes...

I knelt beside my bed to pray, as I do every night before I go to sleep. After finishing my prayer, I opened my eyes but I was no longer in my room. Instead, I found myself in a forest. I looked around and to my right I saw a man, dressed in white, who pointed his finger and said, “See and remember.” It took me a while to find out what he was pointing at.

It was a small bear who seemed half dead lying on the ground. As I continued to watch this bear, it began to breathe deeper. With every passing minute it seemed to revive itself, and as I watched, it also became angrier. It then began to grow. Soon it was larger than the forest floor and as it grew larger it continued to become angrier. It then began to paw the ground, so that when its paw would hit the ground, the earth would shudder.

The bear continued to devastate all that stood in its path until it came upon some men with sticks trying to fend it off. By this time, the bear had grown so large that it simply crushed the men underfoot and continued to rampage.

I was stunned by what I saw and asked the man standing beside me, “What does this mean?” “At first, they thought the great bear was dead,” the man said. “As it will begin to stir once again, they will consider it harmless. Suddenly it will grow strong once more with purpose and violence. God will blind the eyes of those that continue to trample on the sacrifice of Christ’s blood, until the day the bear will strike swiftly. This day will catch them unprepared and it will be just as you saw.”

The man said, "Tell My people the days are numbered and the sentence has been passed. If they will seek My face and walk in righteousness before Me, I will open their eyes that they may see the danger approach. If they only look to the approaching danger, they too will be caught up and trampled underfoot. Only in righteousness will they find safety."

Off topic, but related in the sense that we (the U.S.) could get spread thin if China/Taiwan also go hot. I bet ole' Joe didn't think he would be dealing with 2 very serious international crisis with our 2 main adversaries within the first few months of his presidency.

This video is supposedly from Perm, Russia in the Urals. Not sure if the trainload of military equipment is heading east or west.

I was actually able to find this location in Perm. It is a traffic circle near a monument called the Perm Gates. The train in the video is headed East, BUT the track follows a river and heads roughly South soon after that bit of track. So the purpose of the movement is still a bit inconclusive.

Tomorrow SFRC will vote on the Ukraine Security Partnership Act which will increase military aid for Ukraine at this critical time and send a strong signal of support to our friends in the region.
