#Iran is in ridiculous propaganda mode - Iranian State media is reporting that al-Asad airbase was leveled and 30 American soldiers killed. In reality, zero American soldiers were killed, though there are some Iraqi casualties. #Iraq #IranvsUSA #IranAttacks

The people of #Burma ( #Myanmar ) literally risked their lives in November to #vote during the #COVID19 pandemic. Their #military has overthrown their government in a coup. The international community must apply pressure and sanctions to restore #democracy . #SaveBurma #SaveMyanmar

Trolls ask why I'm not fighting yet. My org @OfficialSOLI is training Ukrainian soldiers since March, 2022. There are enough soldiers already, but not trainers. I do what's needed, even if I would rather be fighting. When more soldiers needed, I'll join or form a unit and fight.

If you have good ideas, then you want as many people as possible to #vote so you'll have a stronger mandate for enacting your policies after you win. If your strategy is voter suppression, then you've already conceded the battle of ideas. #Georgia #VoterSuppression

Zelensky has done more to fight corruption than any president in the history of #Ukraine , arresting scumbags and pursuing justice. Corruption in a time of war is treason. #StandWithUkraine “Ukrainian army official ‘embezzled £1m meant to feed soldiers’”

A U.S. #veteran and I were abducted by Iraqi agents and thrown into prison with #ISIS for 21 days for helping Iraqi #Christians build a force to defend themselves against ISIS. On the 1st anniversary of our release, I'm ready to tell the story. #Journalists message if interested.

Sarah Ashton-Cirillo is a fearless warrior who has demonstrated incredible courage in Ukraine. We admire her dedication to the cause of liberty and were glad to wish her well with flowers and a SOLI patch. I will stand beside her in combat against Russia anytime. #Ukraine

Years ago when I was traveling by #motorcycle in #Iraq , #Iran , and #Afghanistan , the locals would ask me why I wasn't afraid. My reply? "I'm from #Baltimore ." -USA Today names Baltimore 'the nation's most dangerous city'-

Kostiantynivka was the first place I deployed to with a Ukrainian unit when my organization @OfficialSOLI was training the 47th Brigade (then the 47th Battalion) last summer. Yes, the same 47th Brigade that is spearheading the counter-offensive and recently liberated Robotyne.

If you think having to wear a #mask or businesses needing to close during the #coronavirus pandemic violates your personal liberty, but you aren't outraged that #GeorgeFloyd was slowly choked to death by police in #Minneapolis , then you don't know the definition of #liberty .
