So SteakNEggs and Mongoose, are you actually interested in a real discussion of this topic or is this just a partisan thing? I'm asking because I don't think either of you know me, but I can pretty much guarantee you my knowledge base on Russia/Ukraine is a LOT larger than either of yours. I...

Ukraine's corruption problem is a carry-over from the Soviet Union and what your article says is that Ukraine has gotten serious about anti-corruption efforts, including snaring Ihor Kolomoisky - an oligarch that Zelensky arguably had a personal interest in (Kolomoisky owned the television...

https://unitedukraine.substack.com/p/ukraines-second-year-of-war Here's an example of the charity work related to the Ukraine war I've been doing. I spent two and a half weeks in the country meeting with our partners who do humanitarian aid work throughout the entire country.

There's a reason I asked if you had a specific disbursement you were curious about. There is no one $75 billion transaction. There's a series of smaller transactions, each of which can be pretty cleanly broken down into types of purchases and transfers. That's why I don't think you actually...

Which specific procurement would you like to know about? Because I can really break it down pretty cleanly for you if you're actually interested. This is really a Fox News talking point but it bears almost no relationship to reality if you pay attention to how all of this works. By way of...

True story, I've adopted the haircut because it helps me blend in while I'm Ukraine. It's the traditional haircut of the region, and Russians identify native Ukrainians through a derogatory term, "khokhol" that refers to the haircut. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oseledets So I guess I must...

The latin root is "partem" for "a part, a piece, a division" which was then incorporated into the french "appartement" and the italian "appartamento" to signify that common walls divide a larger space into several smaller ones. The common walls, while shared, define the separation of our...

It's been awhile since I did a sports message board so I'm out of practice. I think the right answer is "your wife/girlfriend/mother say I'm very handsome."

He's effectively retiring. He played his last season in Iran but refuses to go back after the Iranian government sold drones to the Russians that were used in the winter attacks on electrical infrastructure.

He was literally smoking the whole time I was talking to him.

I caught up with the big guy himself this morning from his temporary home in Warsaw Poland. We talked all things Ukraine war, his most recent stint in Iran, and how his arms are so long they are like built-in selfie sticks. AMA

I'm just so right about so many things so often. Sadly, my genius is rarely recognized in its time

I for one welcome the opportunity to discover this era's Carlos Arroyo.

Confirmed, Just got it and I'll have it turned around into the country by Monday. Thanks everybody :) I really don't like spamming people, I'm not overly entrepreneurial. I have been shameless about this because it matters. I've gotten my ex-wife's family to give money to this project. My...

I felt my ears burning and checked in on the site. Yes! My non-profit is actually doing really well considering it didn't' exist 5 weeks ago. We just crossed $60,000 transferred into the country and we've got a LOT going on right now. Here's yesterday's update on our activities...

Since someone asked: I've sort of started a charity by accident. Here's the most recent update from Wednesday I sent out to supporters. Who you've been helping in Ukraine Good morning to all our recent contributors, We've had a busy few days locating and finding new families that...

Just swinging by to say that the article about Fiona Hill's impressions of Putin should be viewed as the most reliable source available to us. I've read a LOT of books about Putin. He's absurdly hard to get a read on and his intentions are almost always opaque. One of the reasons a certain...

I have definitely paid the piper for picking a bad username in the long long ago. Justice has been served. I've also been to Russia "for some time." I had a woman from Belarus hang out with me in Arizona for a month. She's my closest friend in the whole post-soviet space. I call her my...

FYI: It's not that hard to find out what Russian media is saying. I'm literally watching Today's programming right now:

Maybe in 10 more years I'll forgive you. No really man, it's all good. :) Donate till it hurts. Freedom is on the line.
