Great article! I knew from other sources that the Ukranians were making remarkable inroads into tech and warfare beyond even what some weapons were originally designed for. I long for the day when they can share what they've created, and get the accolades and respect they deserve. Please tell your Ukaranian friends how many of us are donating every cent we can spare. My Dad and his family were from Ukraine, and their hatred of russia and communism was very real.
A minor quibble. I wouldn't call the American white nationalist / far right cowards. I don't feel that's accurate and it's letting them off the hook way too easy. I think their obstructionism is borne more from hatred, anger and a desire to dominate. Nothing admirable about cowardice but those latter traits are far more morally reprehensible.
Side note. I can't believe I bought JD Vance's book when it came out. I feel like it's one of those acts that's never going to stop popping up in my head with a burst of shame.
NATO has spent billions on war exercises and planning over the last 70 years that the Ukraine War is teaching daily. The 2 % GDP spending figure is becoming questionable when you consider drones , cyber war etc. Eg cost of shells. I read recently that NATO countries have only committed 5% of their military capacity. True?
This is a pretty small point but am I wrong in thinking that J.D. Vance wears eyeliner? Not that there's anything wrong with that. What IS wrong is how people like him toss their principles in a flash for the chance at power in the service of the orange Antichrist. Elise Stefanik comes to mind, too.
Please take care. I read there were serious attacks in Kyiv today.
