Pretty interesting it is still a thing
This is a pretty dated article… I wonder if they are still happening or if has fallen out of fashion.
What do the first two words mean?
I’m guessing the aim would be to encircle and try and take it back without a fight. Imagine the moral hit that would cause to Russia
Kaboom!
Current work around for Twitter sources being broke is to point it at this community. Thanks everyone who posted into this community in the last 24hours!
Looks like the Twitter changes are f’ing with thread reader (eg there are uk defense updates in the past 24hours…)
Ya they nail it every day, apparently the author spends 70hours a week on those concise summaries. What’s the saying; if only I had more time, I would be more concise.
Yeah odd - here they are:
I don’t think I’ll get to that level but was from the sources I bookmarked back when he was doing his posts!
Good pickup! Will fix in the next one
Unfortunately this is pretty much the most active community and it is not particularly active
Search GameStop, gme, stonk on these sites

There is also a couple of lemmit.online feeds for just posts from reddit.

Yeah I love this youtuber, always cuts through the news in such a concise way. I wish he covered more of the front each day but I believe he already spends 70hours a week for these 5min daily pieces.
What video was that?
Yup with a paid account. Tried a bunch of others but it chatgpt appears to give best results.
My workflow is, into my previous chat “now this <link>”, the I copy, edit, sometimes add screenshots from the video. Using jerboa when you put the link in it suggests a title to match the link which is nice.
Original prompt was: “Produce a dot point summary with a concise tldr at the start of this <link>”
At the NATO Summit, member nations agreed to expedite Ukraine’s membership but didn’t provide a timeline due to the ongoing war with Russia. The membership action plan requirement was dropped, simplifying the process. Controversy arose over the US supplying Ukraine with cluster munitions, and NATO allies are expected to set a minimum defense spending of 2% of GDP, a target Canada isn’t meeting.
Here are the key points from the video:
At the NATO Summit in Lithuania, member nations agreed to let Ukraine join the alliance and to fast-track the process. However, they did not issue an official invitation or any clear timeline for membership.
NATO members made it clear that Ukraine can’t join while it’s involved in an active war because that would immediately bring all NATO members into direct conflict with Russia.
Sweden was allowed to join NATO after Turkey, which had been blocking its membership, agreed to drop its veto in return for concessions from Sweden, including the lifting of a ban on arms sales.
There was controversy over the US decision to give Ukraine cluster munitions, some of which failed to explode. Canada disagreed with this decision, citing a treaty banning such weapons.
Ukraine’s defense minister pointed out that Russia has been using cluster munitions since the start of the war and promised they’d only be used on Ukraine’s own territory, away from built-up areas.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg laid out a simpler path to membership for Ukraine but did not provide a clear timeline for full membership.
The requirement for a membership action plan was dropped, which is seen as a positive indication of how NATO views Ukraine.
The allies are expected to agree that 2% of GDP is the floor for defense spending, not just the target. Canada is nowhere near this target and has no plan to get there.
The US controversially sent cluster munitions to Ukraine, a type of weapon that Canada and 123 other nations pledged to prohibit back in 2008.
