He's a good presenter. None of that editing every 3 seconds we usually see on YT. I'll be watching.more.of his videos.
More like; "Is Hungary's Orban and the US senate Republicans obstruction worse than Chineese indifference and caution to Russia?"
Both sides would be done fighting if it was just Ukraine and Russia supplying arms and men.
Yes that's a Russian talking point! And then there would not be a Ukraine anymore, a democracy that was illegally and baselessly invaded, and we are trying to help protect themselves.
