⚡️🇺🇦🇧🇾🤔 KIEV TRIES TO BOSS BELARUS AROUND WITH RIDICULOUS DEMANDS: Regime’s Foreign Ministry seriously attempts to tell #Minsk what to do with its own troops … in its own borders (pic above).

Conducting exercises in border strip and in close proximity to Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant creates threats to national security of #Ukraine.

🇺🇦🔫 💥 WATCH UKRAINIAN TANK RACE AT FULL PELT TO ITS OWN DOOM: Turns out going at full speed still won’t save tank from mines as cannon fodder crew above realize too late when they’re forced to stop after getting blasted by multiple mines across road (00:08).

🇺🇸🛳 👋 U.S. NAVY PREPS TO SCRAP SHIPS DUE TO LACK OF SAILORS: Total of 17 vessels to be put in "extended maintenance" by Navy ‘cause they ain’t got enough people to crew them, latest victims of armed forces’ recruitment woes.

The problem, of course, is the ships are at sea, away from home port 12 months of the year. So you need two crews … we're desperately short of the number of people. There’s a lack of experienced merchant mariners to crew the ships, and this is really a clear danger to national security - Rear Admiral (Ret.) Montgomery, from Center on Cyber and Technology Innovation.

🌈 What could possibly have caused manpower shortage? Surely appointing drag queen non-binary sailor as “digital ambassador” and getting soldiers to put pronouns in their emails would have led to people flocking to sign up?
