How many times did Sachin come on as a runner for a batsman? Here he is running for Rahul Dravid from that Saeed Anwar match of Chennai in 1997. Afridi writes in his book that Pak objected to him coming on as a runner successfully. Can anybody throw light on the 'objection' bit? https://t.co/sh93jhJs89

Yes, I've seen the Mearsheimer videos. Yes, I see why Putin dislikes NATO enlargement. No, I don't think that justifies carpet bombing apartment buildings. No, I don't think NATO is trying to encircle/destroy Russia. I think anxious Eastern Europeans want protection from Russia.

It failed for two reasons. Firstly, after 2014 Ukrainians rebuilt their army and state for the imminent clash with Russia. Secondly, when Russia finally attacked, Ukrainians didn't fall for an empty psyop and didn't get scared. And if you don't fear, psyop doesn't work. End of🧵 https://t.co/SrI9tTQIaA

Putin's Blitzkrieg failed because it wasn't a Blitzkrieg. Blitzkrieg is a war operation against an enemy who fights. But Russia launched a special operation expecting Ukrainians to surrender. That's why they sent forward their glorified riot police. Of course, they were beaten https://t.co/Q1VSaeQokB
— Kamil Galeev (@kamilkazani) Mar 3, 2022
Let's be honest, Kremlin sees Ukraine as a rebel province. The very existence of this country is mutiny. And if you need to suppress a riot, you send the riot police. So Putin sent there paratroopers and they were completely routed. Because they didn't expect organised resistance https://t.co/KxO0eS3M9F

How is the war in Ukraine going? Today they confirmed the death of Russian General Major Suhovetsky. He's unsurprisingly a paratrooper. So let's discuss the role of paratroopers in Russian military doctrine. That'll shed a light on the course of this war and why Russia lost it🧵 https://t.co/aIWsikgFnO
