Kursk 2.0 (Dave and Dan 'cast 13)

HEY!

Yeah we're back. 

The time between updates is all on me.

So there are German tanks in Kursk, and this time it's cool.

Is there any more stark reminder of the difference between UKR and RUS fighters (I kind of don't want to call RUS military 'soldiers' as I think there is some honour in soldiering, and I don't think they have much) than how they treat occupied people?

One of the big differences between a Western (NATO standard) military and say RUS or any other third rate bunch or hooligans, is that in the West we allow NCOs and Jr. officers to actually make decisions.  In a place like Russia you can't let that happen, as at some point a captain or a major will think he has some sort of power.  Of course if he's any good he just wants to keep his boys alive, but you can't have initiative!

Prepare for a referendum!

We urge you to help, How? well, there's the Red Cross, UNCR and UNICEF.

Things Are Happening (Dave and Dan 'cast 12)

OK, look, it's been a while.

That is completely my fault, not Daniil's.  Oh and COVID, it's also COVID's fault.  (We were going to record in December and then I got COVID).

So, Dan has had a full academic year teaching in Canada.

Putin got 'reelected'.

Navalny was killed.

In good news, the aid is now moving again into Ukraine!

Heck, they used ATACMS missiles the night Biden signed the billl.

As an aside, does anyone make up backronyms better than the US military?

We talked some about the post war world that will come some day, hopefully soon.

We urge you to help, How? well, there's the Red Cross, UNCR and UNICEF.

One Year Later (Dave and Dan 'cast 11)

Yes i know it has been a long time.

Really, you could say that it's been a long time, getting from there to here.

Dan and I talked about his impressions of Canada and how things have gone in the past year.

He''s dealt with the healthcare system, the school system, he's taught at a Canadian university and a college.

We also of course talked about what's up in Ukraine.

If you want to help out, help out.

How? well, there's the Red Cross, UNCR and UNICEF.

Dan in a scary hatSeriously, one day I''ll get us a website.

Speicifcally, what do we expect to happen when this thing ends?

How will it end?

Have you given money to the people of Ukraine yet?  Daniil has, I have, you should too.
