Just imagine the amount of squealing, hands thrown up to the heavens, and shirts torn open in righteous indignation if Ukraine, even once (!) responded to Russia’s mass killings and barbaric bombardment of historical heritage by striking the Bolshoi Theatre or the Hermitage…

I had a guy do this. He walked in w/the coffee in one hand and his cell phone in the other. I could see the shocked faces on the panel. I asked him to step outside. I explained that he needed to put both of them away. He was nervous. I patted him on the back. We went back in and he nailed it. #IamMe

A russian missile landed right in front of a Kyiv maternity hospital, killing a person in the parking yard. Maybe it was someone's husband rushing there for the birth of his baby. I don't know. One thing I do know is that every single day, we still don't hate russia enough.

Little separates today's r🖕ssian army from its Soviet predecessor: terrorize civilians, deploy propaganda & grease palms where terror wasn't enough, drop cluster munitions, depopulate villages & cities through indiscriminate carpet bombing & bulldozing. Tactics changed names; brutality did not.

If the West is unwilling to fully shield Ukrainian civilians with air defense, then Ukraine must be free to impose costs on russian civilians too. A nation of 30million people cannot absorb this indefinitely.
