      To complete this series, Lindy needs to interview an Eastern Ukranian rebel fighter who lived in the Donbas and saw the Russian Invasion as a savior event, and a Russian Volunteer who joined the war to fight the Nazi's and help their Eastern Ukranian brother. Many Russians volunteered to fight as well. I know of one American from Texas who went to fight for the Eastern Ukranians years prior to the Russian invasion, and was very happy celebrating when the Russians rolled into town bc it meant the end of genocide in the Donbas (led by Azov).
      Having 4 interviews, 2 & 2 of opposing sides, is a much better picture of WHY this war started and why two sides are fighting.

      Their government is why this war is dragging on. The leadership there is abysmal. They are all corrupt and on the take. Once you get east of Germany you cease to find honour cultures, morality is not an issue, face is. There's no pride in your work, there's no getting places through hard work and excellence. It's all nepotism, who you are family with, who you are friends with. This is why the military are abject failures, and why they immediately drove the overpriced tanks we give them into the same mine field three days in a row to abject failure. Because the leadership are not there because they know what they're doing. They are there because they are there. Everyone there needs a demotion five ranks. And their president needs to be replaced, the western media has made him popular, but they just had a near civil war because a foreigner who shares no culture, religion, or ethnicity with them and serves foreign interests was ruling over them. And now they have the same again. That's not what all the euromaidan protesters died for. They died to have Ukrainians leading Ukraine.

    do you think it's worth it for me to try and organise a bunch of them? i'm pretty well connected (grassroots kinda, not with politicians, though the lefties will defo hear of it very soon) and i'm confident that we could fill a few vans with them.

      what i'm afraid of is if all the boots arrived and nobody needed them bc germany sent like 100k brand new ones and ours would just be donated to civilians. still not bad, but we have our little winter clothing specialists already and these boots may be nice and somewhat warm, but they arent "saving babushka's feet from frostbite during soviet winter"-warm. they are still just combat boots, good for letting sweaty feet breathe a little, keep them safe from barbed wire and not let water inside.

    Hi Lindy. I liked this third part best.
    Harley Whitehead is british, lived in Ukraine before this war and is one guy like Brandon, driving back and forth from GB to Ukraine etc. Now he made a demining course for himself and is doing now similar things, but with volunteer demining groups around Kherson and started for this also a YT-channel. Short: I think he could be a very interesting interview-partner with some different views on the Ukraine adventures. Its covering also this civilian effort to win the war through logistics. But guess You already heard from him. Cheers

      We need 2 more interviews to give a more accurate picture of the war and why it is happening.
      1 interview of a rebel donbas fighter who saw russia's invasion as a savior event.
      1 interview of a russian volunteer (there are a lot of them) who signed up to fight the Nazi's and save their Eastern Ukranian Brothers.
      Then we will have a more accurate picture of the war, what is happening, why, and how we can stop this in the future. (The primary way to stop this is to prevent USA/NATO from starting proxy wars, destabilizing governments, and supporting fringe terorrist groups for the past 75 years).

    Hey there, just for the record and -hopefully- for your personal amusement, dear mr. Beige, I am a young adult from an oriental despotism in the middle east who has bettered his accent, way of speech and everyday English knowledge with enormous help from your channel (enough that one my most dear friends two years ago, when I had shown him a video of yours said how similar I speak to your exalted manner of speech) and this note is my way of thanking you.
    Alas donations in foreign currencies are extremely difficult in this specific oriental despotism due to sanctions and isolation of this land and sadly even if I manage it due to the extremely low value of our currency (it is indeed so low that your average retail worker earns about 120 Dollars per month for tireless work) it would be so little that it may look as an insult as is attending a lucullan banquet and bringing for the host creme de menthe.
    So please excuse me for being so very bold and thinking that my letter of kind words and thanks mean more than an offering of creme de menthe.
    Thank you very much.
    Sincerely yours, Kasra.
