I'm in southern Armenia and found a VERY remote village high in the  mountains that has been all but abandoned. In fact, only one couple remains in the village full time.  I explored the village.  Come along with me!

Drone tech is advancing so rapidly that it will overwhelm the Russian military ideology if Ukraine can field it fast enough.

I'm back in Kyiv and today marks one year since Russia invaded.  Here's a recap.

Experts tell us Russia is preparing a new offensive against Ukraine - with a half million troops.  Here's why it will fail.

I met Pete Reed and Derek Coleman in Mosul, Iraq in 2015.  These two American heroes decided on their own to fly to Iraq and help in the fight against ISIS.  They saved many lives.  Last week, Pete Reed was killed doing the same in Ukraine by a Russian tank shell.  Derek died just over a week later of an aggressive form of cancer.  He was only 33 years old.

So it was an interesting week for sure in the Dominican Republic. Although, you know, I'm not I didn't think the DR was all that great. I wouldn't go back there on vacation or anything, but it was interesting."

Haiti has been bad for generations.  For context, Here's a report from my 2017 adventure driving a motorcycle across the Haitian hinterlands following the route the drug  smugglers take.
