Happy Birthday!

I’ve been a fan since I first read “On Tyranny” and have followed you on “The Last Word” and “Deadline White House.” Your service in support of sanity in the United States is matched by your support of Ukraine. Thank you!

Not only have you opened our eyes to tyranny at home through your writing, you have taken personal action. Now that's a legacy.

Thank for "On Tyranny" which was brilliant in its presentation and content.

Have a wonderful birthday.

I completed your "The Making of Modern Ukraine" course and have been a United 24 supporter since May of 2022. You've been a powerful voice on behalf of Ukraine and I thank you for all you've done to support Ukraine's existential fight for freedom, sovereignty and self-determination.

Happy Birthday and wishing you many years of peace, health and happiness!

Slava Ukraini!

Congratulations and happy birthday, Ambassador Snyder! It is a wonderful feeling to be even the smallest part of the defense of Ukraine.

When does your next United 24 fundraiser start?!

That's, fantastic, Prof. Snyder! I continue to be impressed by Ukrainians' ability to develop and invent new things, as well as their cleverness in general. It's still too early to say much about the Kursk operation, but its planners seem to have thought of everything including, for instance, planning ahead for the destruction of the incoming Russian convoy at the beginning. Then of course there is their humor after capturing the command post of the 28th Rifle Battalion. The linked video from Dmitri @wartranslated serves two purposes: 1. it *shows* that the command post has been captured, and 2. it makes fun of the Russian leadership; dictators and authoritarians are of course known for being thin-skinned. For example, towards the end of the video one of the soldiers picks up the receiver of a desk phone and pretends to call Shoigu by talking into the wrong end of the phone. ''Shoigu! Gerasimov! Where is ammo?'' If there were ever to be a Ukrainian Black Adder, this would be the first episode.
