Knowledge is the main antidote to disinformation. Exploring and studying Ukrainian history is the key to understanding the war. The genocide against Ukrainian people started not 1,000 days ago (addressing the narrative that NATO was the reason for the escalation), not 10 years ago (addressing the narrative about a sponsored coup in Kyiv in 2014), but centuries ago.

In the 1930s, there was no Zelenskyy, Putin, or NATO. But there was a genocide committed by the Kremlin against Ukrainians — 3-5 million people were starved to death.

Learning Ukrainian history, and decolonising it from Russian optics, is the way to see the continuity of Russian policies and crimes against Ukraine and humanity.

With the U.S. only sending about 10% of the promised aid so far drones have been becoming more important of a weapon all the time.

I was just reading an article as to how the drones do about 80% of the damage to the Russian troops and equipment. The article went on say that Ukrainian drone operators have become a prime target for the Russians.

A soldier reported that they hardly ever hear HIMARS any longer due to lack of restocking. Ukraine is slowly running out of weapons and men.

Steve: I am curious on your thoughts as to why the western countries are slowly arming Ukraine giving them just enough weapons to keep them in the war but not enough to kick Russia out of Ukraine. What is their end game? Are they trying to weaken Russia and force Ukraine into peace talks while conceding land to Russia and establishing new boarders? Thoughts?
