    I have always been a voting citizen and donated to the causes I care about, but not much beyond that. People like you, Paul, and Melaniya have propelled me to also write to my senators and representative (something I had never done) regarding the critical importance of Ukraine and its victory because we have to fight for Ukraine's cause from all sides available to us. Great talk, as always.

Though I was surprised to see the economist publishing video regarding "brave ruzzians" TODAY, it`s kind of a sick move to make on the ANNIVERSARY of the full-scale invasion.

    Even though I had a terrible relationship with my biological father he did teach me one thing that has still stuck as true.
    “Countries like ruzzia, china, saudi arabia, iran - they don’t think like you do. They don’t think like us.”
    As a kid I found this response to be really harsh, but as I got older I understood it better. They do not think like people who have experienced and appreciated freedom and safety within a country like the USA. They don’t think about what is going to be good for the world the same way kids are taught to think here.

    Once again, this is why you and Melanyia need to partner with educators all over the world…
    It is sad if Melanyia thinks all of this is not relatable to the average person. Why is that? Hasn’t all of Europe been affected by the war? What about Africa, Asia, U.S.?! Why isn’t the education system devouring what is going on, stimulating young minds to look at the problems being created now. How will they feel otherwise when they are older to be compelled to deal with such issues because they have no other choice?
    We should be teaching youth to look at immigration and border issues in depth to understand why do we have this problem, what can we do about it? What are our politicians doing about it? Same could be said for so many other topics of concern to youths of today…why did the invasion create a food crisis, energy crisis, and increase burdens on the economy. Young people can be very motivated and fearless in their commitment to their cause (as you are Paul), if they have and understanding of what they are facing, and they can do it with great compassion.
    Let’s not make “influencing” our value. Let’s make it supporting and helping one another…there are enough problems needing attention, we shouldn’t be making more problems by fighting for power (influence) over others.
    Maybe you should reach out to “YesTheory” followers to see if there is anyone interested in starting a coalition of young people to break into different groups thinking ahead to tackle such problems caused by the war, but also to be ahead of the game and be prepared to help put the pieces back together…so many opportunities to promote democracy and show the power of free thinking. “YesTheory” mottos are SEEK DISCOMFORT and LOVE OVER FEAR.
    Sorry for my crazy rants, but your videos are very thought provoking to me. Again, just an old lady wishing the best for everyone.
    Thank you for your time and effort.

    So you see how 1 year of war changed President Zelenskys' face? With the emotion I've seen in him when describing war crimes. Especially the one speech to the UN in NYC he did via video. You could hear the hurt in his voice. No matter how much of a good actor you are, that was raw emotion. With his daily videos, you can tell it's wearing on his soul. It's wearing on everyone's soul. I feel we all have a permanent "What the F♧◇k", face. That is attached to a rope, tired to our souls that feel like a semi truck pulling on it every time Putin doubles down.

    Nurses in the hospital always knew the emotional reasons we needed better staffing. When talking to administrators we had to convince them to care because it was in their financial interest. It is a muscle that nurses have had to develop to get anything done. Emotionally I responded immediately to the bombing of hospitals in Mariupol. For people who only care about how it affects them financially, Paul’s explanations are necessary. Hey, we’re saving money by giving all our old shit that would take more money to store than give away, and hey guess what, Ukrainians are doing all the heavy lifting for us. Then there are those who are actually moving in lock step with the Putin/Orban system of gradually eroding Democratic institutions and norms.

    Продолжительность жизни украинского солдата на передовой в Артемовске составляет около четырех часов. Такими неутешительными для украинцев своим наблюдением поделился в интервью изданию Newsweek бывший морской пехотинец США Трой Оффенбекер, воюющий на стороне киевского режима.
    «Много потерь. Средняя продолжительность жизни на передовой составляет около четырех часов», - заявил американский морпех.
    Кроме того, Оффенбекер оценил обстановку в районе Артемовска, назвав происходящее мясорубкой. Он также добавил, что сомневается в возможностях ВСУ удержать город.

    25:43 I have to respectfully disagree with Melaniya.
    Canada was the first western country on December 2, 1991 to recognize Ukraine as a free democratic nation.
    Since 1994 Canada has provided assistance to Ukraine expressed in the treaty E100720 ,"Agreement on Friendship and Cooperation Between Canada and Ukraine"
    In 2014 Canada has condemned the invasion of Ukraine and has taken concrete steps against Russia.
    Also note that the treaty between Ukraine and Canada was created under the Liberal Party lead by the Right Honourable Prime Minister Jean Chrétien and the response against the Russian invasion in 2014 was under a Conservative party lead by the Right Honourable Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
    Both Conservative and Liberal support Ukraine.

    Canada does care!

    Let's be fair, not everyone was for NS2 - I believe Poland was firmly against it from day one.
    “I believe that it is against the interests of the EU as a whole, not to mention Poland and Ukraine,” said Tusk (EU President at the time), speaking to Polish broadcaster TVN24. “I have said many times, this is an unforgivable mistake - because it has very serious consequences - a mistake resulting from selfish German interests.”

    I love your passion, Paul, and I share much of it, particularly in the shared stories and beliefs of Ukraine and America and our responsibility in this relationship, but you're losing me a bit with this absolutism of your blanket condemnation of the West and the somewhat deification of Ukraine. There is actually room and justification for nuance here. As one of many examples, the White House was not throwing in the white flag when offering Zelinsky a ride. The foremost concern was that he survive the night, and that meant getting him out of a city under siege so he could continue to govern elsewhere. Realpolitik is a thing, and though it hardly inflames our senses of righteousness and justice, it's never going away.
