I run a video blog on Twitter. It is solely dedicated to the Ukraine
war for freedom and to feed my blog, I have accounts with over 400
Telegram channels, which is the medium of choice (phones, gopro,
helmet cams, etc) for combatants on both sides & political feeds -
ukraine & russian.

These chans are updated all day every day in ukrainian & russian
language, so google translate is mandatory. I pride myself on having
the feeds well before most of the prolific twitter posters & I have
therefore, since early in the war, around 2000 followers who see every
post I make, and many many thousands of viewers who are not followers
- some of my vids have been viewed up to almost a million times.
Twitter is far more difficult to obtain followers than Instagram, FB
and all those garbage media. Twitter is the choice of the political
intelligentsia etc.

TG is the fucking wild west. I have been banned from Twitter at least
5 times because of content I post gained from TG. Russian corpses,
thousands of them, don't go down too well on Twitter. Therefore, I
post under a nick.

I am also a news source to some extent, online only - quoted if that's
the right word. I only follow a score or so on Twitter and never use
Twitter as a source, I only use TG.

My account is entirely pro-Ukraine because that's the right side of
history & I appreciate the western ways of life, such as free rights
to vote & democracy. & capitalism, with all its faults, is better
than the thief-in-law shit that passes for commerce in the USSR.

The number of thinking followers I have is indicative of my
understanding of the situation in the war. Put bluntly, Russia is
having its arse kicked - even now, they can't (with WagnerPMC mercs)
take Bakhumt and Russia is already digging defensive trenches along
the north shores of Crimea, waiting for the Ukrainian assault which
will surely kick Russia entirely out of Ukraine and then, who knows -
Ukraine now has the battle hardened soldiers capable of taking the
fight right into Russia. That will be the end of Putin.

Putin's threats of nuclear war are simply bluff, and the bluff has
been called. American boomers (SSBNs such as the Ohio class each with
enough thermonuclear warheads to entirely eliminate Russia forever)
are numerous, silent, stealthy, can stay underwater for literally
years, and cannot be stopped by Russia - Putin knows starting a
nuclear war will end him, his daughters, wives, firends, associates
and his entire race of Russian people, forever. He's not that stupid
and he is a fucking coward.

Zelenskyy yesterday visited Bakhmut. Putin hasn't been anywhere near
the frontlines, far too cowardly for that.

I know what I'm talking about. Brian Aherne as usual has no fucking
idea, just cut and paste open the mouth and the bullshit spews out.
Brian spends his days dreaming about dreaming for fuck's sake. No
grip on reality & nobody cares about his opinions anyway. Get a
Twitter account Brian, see how many followers you can get in say 12
months. You won't, you're far too cowardly for that as well.

I absorbed the gist, but didn't understand acronym " TG "
It seems central to the crux of understanding the endeavor
as a hub & multiple spoke distribution network.

A key element here is the 12-23-22 deadline to pass the spending "Omnibus" bill.
If the two bodies adjourn, the fight happens a second time with a new congress & senate.

As a technical matter, the two houses are required by law to pass a "Budget Bill"
once per year, but have ignored the law for 12 years.

Ironic frustration...
We are in a post law, post constitution
post freedom, post family, post nation, post everything under the sun phase.
Heck we're in a post solar, post galaxy, post universe phase too.

Nobody believes in cause and effect.

TG is Telegram, the obfuscated version of Twitter used by Ukraine
Russia & other large fractions of the world of humans. It is the
underworld of blogs I use it only for feeds to my Twitter blog,
incredible on the ground stuff like the 4 Ukrainian DRG who got killed
yesterday & the bombing by Ukraine of the nuclear bombers at Engels
airbase deep in Russia. You may read about that on CNN but I doubt
it.

(Heads up: looks like the Serbs are going to have a shot at NATO
again over Kosovo, it's brewing up big time. Serbia is a firm ally of
Russia...)

There is a lot going on mate and Twitter is always late (by hours) to
the party so my large group of followers is due solely to the fact
that I post my stuff (usually with video) sometimes minutes after it
happens & appears on TG. Fun. Stats are that less than 1% of Twitter
accounts have >1K followers, I have >2K - I'm in the Twitter
stratosphere, but OPSEC prevents me from telling anyone here what my
nick is. Also I don't want to get a bad case of Novichek...
