There is some thing I 'd like to write. If you post a profile picture that shows more body parts than would show in causal Friday clothes, I won't follow you. Just not into that.
Today Ukrainians celebrate St Nicholas Day. Russians sent them bombs & destruction. No running water & no heat for Christmas. Is this the work of Putin wanting peace?
Over 700 projectiles rained down from skies over Ukraine during the long night. 51 missiles and 653 UAVs
Air defence stopped 585 drones (90%)
Of the missiles, UKR stopped
0/3 Kindzhal aeroballistic
1/14 ballistic missiles

It's clear as soon as Russia is allowed to pretend it is serious about negotiations, ordering Americans to Moscow or the Middle-East, it feels free to attack Ukraine's civilian infrastructure without constraint.

GOP leader #SenThune is refusing to sanction a country, Georgia,which uses Chemical weapons on protestors.
Sad fact: US Senate Majority Leader #Thune, refuses for the 3rd time to advance Sanctions against the nation of Georgia, which has been taken over by Russian operatives. Georgia citizens have been protesting nightly for over a year now.
Yesterday I shared the BBC report showing Georgia's state security forces deliberately used chemical weapons on democratic protesters in Tbilisi.
One of those affected, @mel.ge implores us not to forget about the incident and ensure the offenders are punished.
