Informal Summary of "War for Ukraine Day 724: Did I Mention that the House of Representatives Went on a Two Week Vacation?"


 

Three Russian jets shot down.

The House has scheduled an insane amount of work if they want to do anything other than a continuing resolution. Are they going to try and place a “poison pill” in the bill in order to blame the Senate/President for delaying and thereby shutting down the government? I wouldn’t put it beyond them.

Speaker Johnson appears to be taking the work of the House very, very casually. He’s just got ALL the time in the world! I’m in complete agreement with the blogger as to Biden’s legislative strategy for aid to Ukraine. It was a terrible strategy, based on an over-optimistic reading of the House majority.

Upon hearing the House was taking a two-week break, Zelenskyy reminds them “that dictators do not go on vacation.”

Zelenskyy looks back to see how Ukraine has managed to hold on for so long. He looks at the many myths that were debunked.

Czech Republic thinks it has a way to gt artillery shells to Ukraine.

The 110th separate mechanized brigade has been holding in Avdiivka for the past two years, but now that city has fallen. Ammunition had to be rationed as US aid was cut off. If the US can’t supply Ukraine, then our blogger has lost faith in the US. He doesn’t have much use for US Psychological Operations as they’re currently being conducted. “...we are incredibly bad at this in addition to being in denial that we are at war with Russia.”

Russian disinformation operation egged on firing of the Ukrainian Commander in Chief of the Army.

"The strategists advised developing “a network of Telegram channels in combination with Twitter and Facebook/Instagram” as the most effective way of penetrating Ukraine’s media space."

A look at the significance of Navalny. His death signals the collapse of any internal opposition to Putin.

"Navalny’s death came hours after Republicans in the US House of Representatives went on holiday rather than vote on aid passed by the Senate to fund Ukraine’s defence."

Ukrainians gt back stolen camera. Russians filmed themselves committing war crimes.
