The discussion covers a variety of important topics, including the current state of the war in Ukraine, Russia's military strategies and troop buildup, the use of unconventional vehicles like motorbikes and golf carts, and the effects and implications of Russian propaganda. Additionally, the conversation delves into how the West can protect itself from Russian aggression, the role of Trump in enabling Putin, and the dangerous reality of appeasement strategies within European diplomacy. Starsky also provides insights into the distorted information within Russian elites and the ongoing efforts of Russia to paint itself positively on the global stage.----------CHAPTERS: 00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome02:12 Current Situation in Ukraine05:57 Russian Military Tactics and Strategies12:59 Putin's Delusions and Propaganda16:40 European and American Perspectives31:13 Russian Propaganda and Image Laundering----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.
