When I was in Kyiv Putin sent 41 ballistic missiles towards Kyiv on July 25th. Seventeen were shot down; I heard 30 explosions. Simple terror, but we are not afraid of Putin or Russia. July 25th still ranks as the most ballistic missiles ever fired at a city in human history. 2/2

Okay, yesterday October 7th was Putin’s birthday and he sent over one hundred drone at Kyiv, plus 50 cruise missiles and 24 ballistic missiles. Apparently it was noisy, and of course terrifying, but the people of Ukraine are not afraid of him and will not be intimidated. 1/2

But on this same day Trump has a phone call scheduled with Putin to wish him a happy birthday, the same day Putin’s Russia bombed and murdered sleeping children in Ukraine.

I was responding to your "I still don't think we've worked out how to respond to this." The response was genocide & ethnic cleansing. Re anti-Semitic attacks, MANY were staged. The other damage done to all Jews is new (& unacceptable) anti-Semitic attitudes towards Jews due to Israeli war crimes.

It was a military action, funded by Iran, for hostages that was always going to fail. But the alleged attocities were Israeli disinfo. Israel knew it was coming and sacrificed its Jewish citizens so it could raze and ethnically cleanse Gaza. There are no winners, but genocide is never acceptable.

This could be the biggest ballistic missile attack in one night on a civilian city since the 41 ballistics I experienced in Kyiv one Saturday night in July this year. This is deliberate terror. And terrorism. And a war crime.

In Australia in the 1970s & 80s, traffic deaths were 3,000 a year. After the introduction of random breath testing, traffic death rates dropped to 1,000 a year. While a kid in Canada, however, my alcohol father would regularly drive drunk. How he never killed anyone is nothing short of a miracle.

Heath Ryan @heathryan16.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
0.05 is a good limit. 0.08 is simply enabling drink driving. A few years ago there was a push in Australia somewhere to reduce it to 0.02. Not necessarily a good move even though well intended. Better to drop car speeds and sizes IMHO.

So, Russian attack just hit Moldova-Ukraine border. A passenger bus full of people was there . It got hit, by a ricocheted shell , which also hit border’s control room. A border guard from Moldova side was injured. When I say Russia won’t stop at Ukraine, this is what I mean.

According to ISW, instead of the 1301 km² that Putin claimed, Russian forces actually suffered net territorial losses of 80.81 km² in September. Taking into account temporary incursions without subsequent establishment of control, Russia's losses amount to 175.18 km².
