    Once again, thanks for interviewing a guest that is tackling an incredibly important problem. Unfortunately, there are some who are popular who are teaching others you just have label another person as this or that to invoke dislike or hatred towards someone else solely for the sake of maintaining their popularity.. Once the mind has been made up, ignorance is bliss takes over, which in some way justifies that ignorant person to never learn to engage in meaningful conversation. So frustrating. Keep it up, I am sure you are still getting through to people who need to hear it and change their minds.
    Love your content. It is meaningful and and important work. I hope your community continues to grow exponentially.

    And thank you, Melania, for doing your best to explain the worldview of Ukrainians to the world. Also, I totally agree with your "can't outcrazy Tucker" position. Still, I think with enough preparation and your amazing confidence you could -- if not persuade -- at least make a certain part of his audience doubt their "alternative facts".

    Hello Paul, I really enjoy your passion and excellent guests on your channel, Thank you! We all know in the US that our government is broken, will it take direct involvement in a war for the US people to come together? I propose that working for the government is 100% public service and there should be term limits, salary limits and age limits to begin with. If one chooses public service then focus should be for the people, NOT for individual wealth accumulation. We have an excellent example in Ukraine, who are showing the world how to truly run a democracy. Slava Ukraini! US let’s get our government reformed!

    Ukrainian people are really beautiful people. Melaniya speaks better English than I. What a remarkable young women. Good decision not to go on Tucker Carlson. Laura Ingrham would be ok....but never Tucker Carlson. Carlson is a masterful wordsmith but is a despicable hard right Nationalist, not unlike Putin himself. When Tucker made his trip to Hungary to rub shoulders with Victor Orban, red flags flew up for me. The trip was totally out of format of his programming and wreaked of nefarious intent....shortly thereafter, Russia invades Ukraine. Those who follow Carlson are just like him. What Carlson and his followers don't understand is the negative cultural influences Russia has and is playing on American culture and it is these cultural inflamed differences that drive his hatred.
