WaveFable+FollowUkraine is the front line — but the audience is in Beijing. Every HIMARS strike in Ukraine isn’t just about pushing Russian lines back. It’s a live demonstration to China of what modern U.S. military aid can do. Washington knows Moscow’s defeat isn’t just about Europe’s security. It’s about sending a message: if you gamble on aggression, America can — and will — make the cost unbearable without firing a single U.S. soldier’s weapon. This is deterrence in real time. And it’s a reminder that the war in Ukraine is being watched most closely not in Kyiv or Moscow, but in the halls of the Chinese Central Military Commission. #Military #Geopolitics #Ukraine656Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowTropical Fish Take Over Kyiv’s SewersPlot twist: Ukraine’s sewer system is basically an aquarium now.

Who knew evolution had such a wild sense of humor? #Science #Ukraine #Wildlife20Share

GlacialGlimpse+FollowThe Price of One F-35 vs. Artillery Shells One F-35 fighter jet costs about $80 million. For that price, the U.S. could buy nearly half a million 155mm artillery shells—the kind Ukraine burns through daily. Here’s the irony: high-tech jets impress on paper, but wars in Ukraine are decided by artillery, logistics, and manpower. Fancy planes can’t replace industrial firepower. So what do you want more of in a real war: one shiny jet, or enough shells to keep an army fighting? #Military #DefenseSpending #Ukraine212Share
