1. Wow! Pls listen to this expert decipher the Russians use...

of the word "nazis" in reference to running Ukraine. It's unexpected but profound and makes a lot of sense in understanding both Putin's use and Ukraine's resistance.

Thanks for posting.

2. Indeed. Per Snyder, be aware that Ukraine lost more troops than Russia.

Ukraine deserves to define the terms that end this conflict.

By numbers, and per Snyder, Ukrainians lost more lives in WWII than Americans, French and British combined.

This whole invasion pretext is not just by redefining words like "Nazi," but totally erasing the facts of history in order to manipulate support for Putin's invasion.
