The Kyiv Independent · Russia losing battlefield edge in war against Ukraine, WP reportsBy Abbey Fenbert

Congratulations on #Kyiv Day from @ufd

Hundreds more 🇺🇦 POWs returned home, completing the 1000-for-1000 🇺🇦 🇷🇺 prisoners' exchange

🇷🇺 advanced near Odradne, Troitske, and east of #Sudzha (in Novenke, Basivka & Zhuravka)

🇷🇺 launched ~300 #drones and 70 missiles, striking 22 locations, killing 12+, including 3 #children in #Zhytomyr, and injuring 60+

🇫🇮 MoD: 🇷🇺 activity in the #BalticSea has been increasing significantly

🇺🇸 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 officials & analysts note a diminishing 🇷🇺 advantage on the #battlefield

<p>Last Battlefield Game I played was Battlefield 4 and I recently played Battlefield V Campaign after so many years. I didn’t understood the bad reviews on V but then I played 4 again. Now I understand!<br><br>The gameplay of 4 is just captivating!<br>#Battlefield</p>

(what is the #carbonfootprint on this whole mess, I ask?)

‘…more #weapons are needed on the #battlefield, #tradesanctions make it harder for #Russia to produce and…the USA and its allies pressure states not to buy Russian arms… #armstrading…had already weakened before 2022, with #India increasingly favouring other suppliers, and #China sourcing more arms from its own burgeoning #armsindustry.’

… 2/3 of exports to 3 states: India 38%, China 17% and Kazakhstan 11%.

I am a #medic. If you know nothing else about me, know that.

Whatever happens, wherever you are, whoever you are—call me and I will come for you. That's what medics do. That's what we are.

Mostly.

I've made my living many other ways over the decades. #Infantry, #writing, #web development, #database administration, #teaching, #clinicaltrials, #bioinformatics. Maybe one of these days writing again, for more than a few months this time. All of them have shaped me to one degree or another.

They're all things I did, all part of who I am. Medic is what I am. If you're lucky enough to have your own "what" as well as "who" ... well, you understand.

Until World War One, more #soldiers in every war died of #disease than of #injuries received on the #battlefield. The decreasing death toll of modern wars (you can look it up) is directly due, in large part, to advances in military public health. Those advances travel both ways, back and forth between the military and civilian worlds, preserving life all the while.

#Epidemiology and #immunology and #biostatistics and #environmental #medicine aren't TV fodder, generally speaking. It's hard to make them look glamorous. They're just the reason you're alive to read these words.

#PublicHealth, taken as a whole, is unquestionably the greatest advance in medical history. Nothing else even comes close. Arguably it's the greatest advance in history, period, with no qualifiers needed.

Deliberately breaking it is mass #murder.

I am a medic. I am also a human being. The alleged human beings responsible for this monstrosity, if they ever call me, will call in vain.
