Tim Bowden @timbowden.bsky.social · 18/07/2026I'm wondering how #NAFO responds to those who pretend to be on Ukraine's side but always find a reason why Ukraine or the EU are doing it wrong or can't do it at all? 020
Tim Bowden @timbowden.bsky.social · 14/07/2026I've just discovered #Postgres #pg_durable. Now this is interesting. 010
Tim Bowden @timbowden.bsky.social · 11/07/2026This @kateinkharkiv.bsky.social. We care. Many of us follow daily what is happening. I regularly share your posts elsewhere so people know what is happening. 020
Tim Bowden @timbowden.bsky.social · 24/06/2026The Russians got caught with their panstirs down again? (ack to @cwinters.bsky.social for that one) 030
Reposted by Tim BowdenChris Winters 🇩🇪 🇺🇦 🇬🇪 @cwinters.bsky.social · 21/06/2026Why haven't I seen "they were caught with their pantsirs down" as a regular saying yet? NAFO Sunday thoughts. 2294
Tim Bowden @timbowden.bsky.social · 15/06/2026Russians repeatedly show the world who they are by what they do. There is no honour in double taps on rescue workers. This is not a one off. It is something the Russians have been constantly doing during this war they refuse to call a war. We should believe them when they show us who they are. 000
Tim Bowden @timbowden.bsky.social · 14/05/2026I reckon the orcs are getting so strident in their demands for Ukrainian surrender to try and convince themselves it is possible. Because they sure as hell aren't convincing anyone else, least of all the Ukrainians. 110
Tim Bowden @timbowden.bsky.social · 09/05/2026Traditional Russian values on display. Russia is a death cult. 032
Tim Bowden @timbowden.bsky.social · 09/05/2026As William Gibson once said (in a very different context) “The future is already here - it's just not evenly distributed”. Ukraine owns this future. Europe (and NATO) now need Ukraine more than ever. 110
Tim Bowden @timbowden.bsky.social · 08/05/2026For anyone watching Russia's political tea leaves, here's a big one. My armchair view is we're seeing the beginning of the end of Putin's regime. First slowly, then quickly. I guess we're about to see how quickly it flips. 131
Tim Bowden @timbowden.bsky.social · 07/05/2026How anyone can argue against this sentiment beats the hell out of me, especially when Russia sees sport as just another field of political contest. There are too many international sporting bodies that have become morally corrupt. 031
Tim Bowden @timbowden.bsky.social · 30/03/2026Try looking in the mirror Rubio, you pathetic cuck. 010
Tim Bowden @timbowden.bsky.social · 06/01/2026Oh look, European politicians think a strongly worded letter will defeat the US military. How cute. Time for them to get real and start treating the US as the openly hostile nation it is. 000
Tim Bowden @timbowden.bsky.social · 04/01/2026How cute. Under the new world order of "might is right", the US will be able to take Greenland unless Europe is willing to display the might to defend it. That's how the world is going to work now that the US has openly brushed aside the old "rules based international order". 000
Tim Bowden @timbowden.bsky.social · 04/01/2026What are the people of Greenland (or Denmark or anywhere else) going to do when the US walks in and claims it as their own? Apart from impotent protests? 010
Tim Bowden @timbowden.bsky.social · 19/12/2025Morally bankrupt. This gutter scum is willing to throw the Ukrainian people under the Russian genocidal imperialist bus while his country profits from it. 020
Tim Bowden @timbowden.bsky.social · 07/12/2025"No shit Sherlock". Why don't more people understand this? It's pretty simple. The consequences of a Russian victory in Ukraine are many times worse than the cost of giving Ukraine the support required to win. 021
Tim Bowden @timbowden.bsky.social · 03/12/2025Zelenskyy's power of coercion over the Ukrainian people to force them to fight for him must truly be the stuff of legends. Or maybe the Ukrainian people have a deep desire for freedom and self determination. Have the tankies been lying to us? Just maybe? 021
Tim Bowden @timbowden.bsky.social · 03/12/2025Textbook definition of genocide. Just in case any of us care enough to actually do anything to help Ukraine. 060
Tim Bowden @timbowden.bsky.social · 29/11/2025Seriously? This is so manifestly inadequate it's like we are trying to insult the Ukrainian people. It should be an order of magnitude greater. 030
Tim Bowden @timbowden.bsky.social · 27/11/2025If I may give one answer to this question, it is because we are getting to see the heights and lows of the incredible Ukrainian resilience in action. 120
Tim Bowden @timbowden.bsky.social · 23/11/2025If it's about US foreign policy, you call Putin. That much is clear. 020
Tim Bowden @timbowden.bsky.social · 13/10/2025Why is the Wedge-tailed eagle not getting more love in the Guardian's Australian bird of the year comp? It's a truly magnificent bird. There is something badly wrong with Australia if this bird gets eliminated after today's voting. Show it some love please! www.theguardian.com/environment/... 050
Tim Bowden @timbowden.bsky.social · 24/09/2025My take: Trump still won't back Ukraine with decisive actions but wants to take the credit when they win with European support. 180
Tim Bowden @timbowden.bsky.social · 16/09/2025Insightful (but much too short) look at the struggles of the Ukrainian army moving from a Soviet to a modern western style of command structure. Obviously still a long way to go but it does highlight the profound difference in performance it makes. 130
Tim Bowden @timbowden.bsky.social · 13/09/2025Ukraine should play Russia at their own game. Call these a threat to Ukraine and launch a preemptive Flamingo strike at them. 031
Tim Bowden @timbowden.bsky.social · 13/09/2025We are not supposed to believe either Russian lie. They want us to understand that they don't care what we think and that they have contempt for us. 120
Tim Bowden @timbowden.bsky.social · 06/09/2025I'm holding out for Santa Claus to bring me a luxury private jet. 010
Tim Bowden @timbowden.bsky.social · 06/09/2025Never mind your credibility defending your own bloody home! JFC, the stupidity is off the charts. 020
Tim Bowden @timbowden.bsky.social · 06/09/2025Ukrainian civil resistance stories have a remarkable parallel with the London blitz. Likewise, I expect Ukraine's story to end in victory. Despite the intense pain and suffering they are enduring, the Ukrainian people are also showing the indomitable resilience and community spirit of victory. 010
Tim Bowden @timbowden.bsky.social · 31/08/2025A Flamingo in flight is a thing of beauty. I'm expecting we will soon see a flock of Flamingos landing. That also will be a thing of beauty. #NAFO 152
Tim Bowden @timbowden.bsky.social · 27/08/2025Maybe this is an opportunity for Ukraine to really troll Russia hard: an app that lets Russians working in critical industries request 10 minutes notification of their workplace being hit in return for details of where they work and what they do. 020
Tim Bowden @timbowden.bsky.social · 02/07/2025This is the bit that so many in the West are determined to avoid. The longer we bury our heads in the sand about the threat of authoritarian regimes (looking at you, Russia and China), the more expensive in lives, destruction and dollars it will become. The cheapest time to fix the problem is now. 120
Tim Bowden @timbowden.bsky.social · 19/04/2025When you strip away all the propaganda, this is the root cause of the Russian genocidal invasion of Ukraine. The hot war may have begun in 2014, but Putin was putting in place the political moves required as early as 2003. Even as Ukraine was being stripped of its defences by empty Western words. 110
Tim Bowden @timbowden.bsky.social · 30/03/2025@climate200.bsky.social Are there any Teal candidates in WA for the upcoming federal election? 010
Tim Bowden @timbowden.bsky.social · 21/02/2025I'd vote for this bloke but that would be to profoundly misunderstand what he's trying to say. Thread is a worthwhile read for anyone who actually cares. 000
Tim Bowden @timbowden.bsky.social · 01/01/2025Hell of a thread from Mick Ryan @warinthefuture.bsky.social. Pulls no punches. Rings the warning bells. Lays out the global geopolitical challenge to the liberal democratic west in simple terms. We can put in the hard work now or pay a far greater price later. It's like our version of 1938. 000
Tim Bowden @timbowden.bsky.social · 25/12/2024I have a novel idea. What if we, the liberal democratic west, give Ukraine the means and permission to destroy these death machines? No downside. At all. Unless we secretly want to keep Russia strong? But that would be morally reprehensible, right? #PissedOff 010
