6:30 chemical weapons usage was induced by some official / commander of LDNR russian forces. That guy publicly appealed to russian strategic chemical weapons command, which officially was disbanded many years ago. (off course, russian claim that navalny was not poisoned qith nerv gas by them).
And in few days after chemical weapon was used on limited scale.
BTW, those LDNR commander, who basically announced that usage of chemical weapons, dissappeared later.
The war has barely begun……Russia has 2,000,000 reserves…..they are eating up any margin Ukraine has by using their oldest platforms…..KandG must be joking
@@samburdge9948 russia can't empty its borders, and move everything to ukraine... And they already committed their best troops and equipment that have sustained extensive losses already. Mobilization also have a huge political cost for putin, as that will show this "operation" is going very very badly and isn't just an operation anymore.
If Russia had, done this from the very beginning. I wud agree it wud be game over for Ukraine. But with the time Ukraine has been gaining with holding on, and still isn't deprived from taking the initiative. And more capable, heavier equipment and weapon system is arriving to Ukraine each day. And the mobilization is getting further completed each day. Zelenskyj said himself that the Ukraine army is counting 800k now, that was about 230-280k in total at the beginning. And he is prepared to raise that number to minimum 1mill, and 1.5mill if needed.
Putin has made it very difficult for himself. And he have to destroy his entire army in Ukraine to win...

This exact rectangular shape in the mininap can be found in the game Medieval Total war.Since K&G use a lot of game footage ,it is possible they got their inspiration from there.

Bizarre watching this go down in real-time. Whenever documentaries of other wars narrate "after 3 or 6 or 14 months -- they broke through". We have some insight on how grueling and long each month must've been like now.
I know, it is surreal to see this
New world order
great point. makes it much realer. now think of those absolutely ruthless WW1 & WW2 battles...
It’s crazy. Drones and hi-res cameras have almost turned it into a reality show.
"Time Ghost" does a ww2 in real time type video series, might be worth checking out, adds context to modern conflicts and deepens understanding especially since it involves the same areas.
It's surreal seeing modern photographs to represent people instead of paintings or icons like K&G does for historical work.

@@James-sk4db You're assuming war isn't costly? Even IF Russia send 40k for some smart big brain strategy, one can really wonder what advancement could've been made by that sacrifice in terms of morale, manpower and financial cost to an already battered and isolated economy.
Not-Russian correspondence is also not automatically "the West". I think most people who try to assess the situation with as little bias as possible question the efficacy with regards to the Russian advances on multiple fronts.
What I'm assuming is the following: Russia overestimated itself while underestimating Ukraine. The rest of the world basically overestimated Russia's capabilities an were surprised by Ukrainian resistance.
If Russia actually wanted to look incompetent and weaker than previously assumed, then they are winning!
@@AeneasGemini A proper break down for what is currently known from the resources that we have at our disposal at this point and time in the conflict. :)
@@James-sk4db "Had this not occurred it is likely that the war would be over"
You seem very biased, "James". I'd say I'd disagree with most of what you've stated but don't have to energy to respond to all of it.
Let's just make it clear that writing about "the west" and "western correspondence" seems very sussy, if you can only do it in general terms. There is so much international media besides "western correspondence" but I guess generalizing your enemy is part of the strategy ;-)
Its a different feeling that we're witnessing a war documentary in real time rather a history.
It's basicly making of history.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that Ukraine is now losing 60 to 100 soldiers each day in combat. Just short of 50 American soldiers died per day on average in 1968 during the Vietnam War’s deadliest year for U.S. forces by way of comparison.
Averages do not work as well yet - Vietnam war continued for years and had a number of relative lulls. This portion of the conflict is high intensity, but it is not set in stone that it will remain high intensity for years.
Big difference is also that ukraine is defending its home, USA was invading. Not the same infrastructure, war type and back-up / supply lines.
Uraaaaaaaa 🤭
People really are going “I can’t believe this is happening now” while at the same time being alive during the middle eastern wars smh
Middle east wars don't carry the threat of going nuclear. They're also not surprising. The middle east is and always has been an extremely volatile place, made worse after WW1 and somehow, raised to even greater heights of violence after WW2.

calm yourself
Not really, I mean, all of this information is a month old
they are not a news channel but a history channel and for a history channel this video is perfect. it explain how the battlr went in all front and put al pieces together of the news. for people who wants to know about how the war is going and what is happening without wanting to follow the news or to pieces together diferent sources this is the best opción you have.
thank you kings and general for your amazing video and effort like always
Agreed.
Amazing content as always!
What a strange timeline we live in.
Never thought I would see our current chancellor appearing in a Kings and Generals video.
Regards from Vienna.
It’ll be important for neutral countries to continue dialogue with Russia as arbitrators of peace, thank you Austrians, from the US
"never thought".
corrected that for you.
the entire game an backstory is about the fall of the evil empire.
i knew as a toddler this was happening. its littlerly 60% of everything written, said an done anywhere
The chancellor tried to calm the Austrian population after he committed the installation of an infamous mandatory vaccination law. Also he is the non-elect successor of another non-elect successor of the elect chancellor, since there were big corruption scandals which are still unfolding - his entire surrounding (including the whole cabinet) is dubious.
Back when Austria didn't fall in line with the other EU-countries to sanction Russia over the Salisbury incident it lead to a rise in popularity of the government; indicating that Austrians would love to normalize the ecological relations with Russia. The present day chancellor knew about this and thus made a tactical move at the low of his popularity.
He should follow his boss kurzi first into exile and then both should go to prison
Sadly, this timeline isn’t strange. Not for the reasons OP thinks, at least.
War and imperial aggression are historical norms dating back to the Achaemenids. The past 75 years of peace in Europe have been an anomaly, not the norm. The only strange thing about the current timeline is that most of Europe stands United behind Ukraine, rather than factionalizing.
We spent seventy years in a historical abnormal. Now comes the time to fight to keep it.
This is the first time you actually did an analysis of a battle that's still going on today.
It"s crazy. When i leave my home and walk 10 Minutes i arrive at an Office building where Ukrainian Refugees are registered and taken care of. These people look really unhappy and broken. I feel sorry for them. I hope this war ends soon so they can get back home again.
Bullshit
how can it end soon if they have only taken 1/100th the empire so far? not good with math or reading clocks huh?
@@ShawnJonesHellion what?
@@ShawnJonesHellion You're expecting Russia to open another front after Ukraine? :o
About math: what's the probability of breaking Russian federation? by using the same method which was proven to collapse the USSR?
About "reading clocks": Stalin made it to 74, Hitler 56. To have 100/100 of the empire how many life will Putin need?
Did you feel sorry for the Iraqi people during the TWO illegal wars run by the US and it’s criminal allies?
Putin : "What's the situation at the front ?"
Russian Chief of Staff : "No idea sir, we'll have to wait for next month's Kings and Generals' update "
The world on a grand scale is and always has been scary but there's something about watching these videos and understanding the nitty gritty details that help makes me feel better about the situation. It's like if you're on an airplane and you hit a lot of turbulence but then the piolet comes on an explains what they're doing, you're still on a turbulent airplane but you feel a bit more at ease about it. So thank you for these videos.
Watching how this war is covered makes me doubt all historical records.
As much as this situation is a tragedy, it's still kind of cool to get to see videos like this in almost real time during a current conflict. What a strange time we live in
hi shsu
This ist glorious. I waited every bloody day for this. Thank you, Kings and Generals! Thank you.
there are several settlements that have Lozova in their name, "Lozova" you showed at 16:50 min of the video is Cherkas'ka Lozova or Rus'ka Lozova (they are close to each other). The proper Lozova is on the halway between Kharkiv and Dnipro. I freaked out when I saw that Lozova is assaulted by ground troops, lol
I hope you are able to stay safe ❤️
Took you for a spin there lol 😂, hope you're well man
Thank you for uploading this, I know it took a lot of work to compile all of this. We all appreciate it.
All these days i thought this channel is really neutral
What makes this video biased according to you?
Let's try talking about this neutrally. Russia is invading a sovereign country, bombing their cities massacring its citizens all because it wants to join NATO of its own free will. It is breaking its treaty to respect Ukraine's territorial borders because it apparently feels that the west betrayed them because a sovereign nation chose to decide the fate of their own country
@@henkhenk7467 yea don’t expect an answer to that. There’s a lot of suppressed homosexual feelings for Putin going on

@@meisterproper8304 different yes, but definitely comparable. Russia making many of the same mistakes as in the Winter War
Not really comparable.
And Finland still ended up losing land.

@@MitchJohnson0110 Mistakes? What are you smoking, Russia controls a third of “Ukraine” even the BS artist Zelensky admitted Russia has gained control of 20% which he would obviously skim abit of to make it sound better. Ukraine army is losing a least 500 men per day, once again this is admitted from the Ukraine side. They tried to recapture snake island and got melted, they tried to counter account in Sverodonetsk and got smoked again. Russia is systematically destroying Ukraine, you gotta stop being a little b*tch and listening to main stream brainwashing garbage.
In fact it's not Russia vs Ukraine, it's Russia vs eu,america,uk and many many more
In fact there are russias killing ukrainians, and other countries like USA, UK and so on helping Ukraine to survive. Glory to Ukraine!
The russians have lost 35k+ but NATO troops haven't even arrived yet
It’s Russia with the support of its allies vs Ukraine with the support of its allies.
Those. Ukraine is not on this list? lol
Sanctions are expected in war…… unless you’re an idiot.
It is impossible to have history of anything at the time that it is happening as failures are covered up and successes are fabricated and many more things I have not mentioned so I think this video should not have been made
Whatever the case is, it's important to have an update.
And there is always research to help with validation.
stopped right before the Russian breakthrough at Popasna interesting.
Edge of the seat stuff right? ;). I wonder what will happen next, maybe a full assault on Lyiv.
28:54 I love how the countries have their Hearts of Iron IV colours.
I was just watching the first phase of the war video again and as soon as I finished this video pops up. Best feeling.
I have watched several documentaries these past couple of months on various battles/wars and this account is by far the best. Accurate, detailed information and visuals that make it easy to follow along each step. I appreciate all the hard work put into these. Thank you!
i have heard the "russia is running out ammunition" since like, 2 weeks after the war start, and up until now, they're still shelling nonstop
The problem is with the sensationalization. Russia has run out of high precision missiles and munition very early. They still use them from time to time, because more is produced, but the stocks are gone and production is slowed down because of the sanctions. This slowdown is now very visible for the "dumb" missiles, too, as the number of long range missiles used against the Ukrainian infrastructure has decreased dramatically in the last weeks. Obviously, they won't run out of artillery shells or gun ammo.
This is easily one of my top 3 favorite channels...maybe #1 🤔
Great work, as always.
So many great videos about historical and modern wars. Thanks guys for all your work.
It is fascinating to see how strategies are impacted by logistics as well as technological advantages on top of other factors now just as it was in Caesar’s, Napoleon’s, and other wars. Being a veteran I torn between knowing that most of the combatants are under the age of 30 and most probably didn’t grow up thinking “I hate Ukrainians” or “I hate Russians”. I imagine it’s always been like that.
The encirclement tactic by the Russians reminds me of Cesar in Alesia , I wonder how Cesar, or even Napoleon who is very recent, would react to all the tools for war being used in this war

15000 Russian lives….it took 10 years of Afghanistan to lose that many back in the 1980’s. Holy….
actually, 15 000 lives is an optimistic estimate, ruzzia losing 150 - 200 lives every day.
Reporting on this conflict nearly in real time and with as little bias as possible is something I’m more than happy to support! Thank you K&G!
You by far put forward the best analysis, especially as the war unfolds in real time. Been waiting on part 3 now for the past month. Keep up the good work!
A documentary of the Iraq war like this would be great.
Very nicely done, the analysis is truly a competent one. But where from did you get all those specifics (placements of military brigades at a certain date, what detachments were involved in particular offensive / defensive operations, etc.)? :) Details of such kind do not get revealed to general public yet...
There are also (Telegram-)groups of local Ukrainian people, reporting and communicating those movements, gains and losses.
@Peoples Republic of Ninj Nah. Ukrainian Armed Forces never inform about locations of their units, types and titles of those units, their movements, or on outcomes of local battles at specified location (in fact, that is totally prohibited even for journalists and can be severely punished according to the martial law). Russians do neither (they almost never provide concrete information about current events at the battlefields at all).
@@tobytoxd The information is too specific to be collected from such sources (which brigade moved where at a certain day, what was an outcome of battle, etc.). Locals might know title of the Ukrainian unit stationed near them - but how could've they known what particular Russian unit was engaged in a battle from the other side?
There r sites where can follow live (or most real-time as possible) & see what Battalions, Companies, etc. for both sides at each spot along the lines
Other couple sites I watch, r updated 2-4 times a day with a click highlighting area holding, then click forward or back
&
see what has happened (will highlight movement of each side)
I don’t like to add links to other sites in comments, as not appropriate !
But it’s pretty cool when can see how along a 5 mile front say, how one side or another has gained ground or lost
If u search u will find them, some r less updated then others (might show day b4 along Front)
Add Dennis to search best I’ll do
But this site is one of my favourites
It is great that u did a good summary at this point
Was hoping would come little closer to present date, but I can imagine how much work is involved :)
Just makes me look forward to ur next update :)
Keep it up !
P.S. ur History videos really allow us to follow as if we r in the Planning room getting updates & we r in the middle of the Action, great job to the whole team

21:40 Could you remove the Gepard system from this chart. It contains the list of systems that were provided, so it does not make sense to mix it with German promises. Especially that we know later they said they do not have ammo for them and they will send only part of them on only much much later.

From the news on Dutch media, I am getting the feeling Russia is slowly, but surely winning the battle of Donbas. It takes time, but they gain ground.
I am intrested how it looks with a very well made animated map looks. Cuz, I really don't know.
Thank you for this irl documentary of the war in Ukraine
@@zakobruce
Russia was winning in the Donbas from the start I recall. They did not have the capacity or logistics to gain the early victory that they sought in the first phase. I am confident that Russia's initial main offensive from 4 fronts was a failure. K&G said that, the media and Russia withdrew from the northern regions.
The donbas is slowly being taken
I don't understand what kind of news you maybe reading. Conquering 500m per day while suffering hundrends of casualties doesn't really sound like winning. It definitely sounds like losing. Maybe instead of winning you mean "temporally conquering ground after destroying everything taller than 1 story", which has some truth to it.

The East is the problem, friend. Sauron got bored and decided to move to Ismailia Kremlin instead of Barad-Dur.
The front line in Donbas around popasna was broken by Russian forces, the encirclement of the entire Luhansk garrison is imminent if something isn’t done. The Donbas isn’t looking good for Ukraine right now
True, Russia might be able to capture the entire Donbass area in about another year with this pace. Ukraine needs more heavy weapons.
I'm sure we can all agree that the most unnerving part of this is the fact that it's occurring as we speak.
Kind of crazy that many European countries put themselves in such a position given the history of Russia. Blows my mind that they would depend on one source for all their energy needs and even though many does not like what the Russian are doing, they have no choice. What worst, the two countries at war are currently the main supplier of grain for Europe and middle east. Could we see a massive global instability stemming from this?
Egypt already said they will be out of wheat by November.
@Hannibal Sulla I think the spread of NATO was only during the early 2000s while the current thought a NATO expansion was the leadership within NATO trying to remain relevant by provoking Russia into action. There was a reason America was debating whether NATO was necessary back in 2018-2019 since it was creating to combat against the Soviet Union which no longer exists. I am telling it a was really big deal here in the US because the public was questioning the needs of military aid to Europe to provoke Russia when many saw the Chinese as a bigger threat. I say NATO played their hands very well prior to the outbreak of war because had Putina waited, he could see the internal dismantle of NATO within 10 years or less. America was already winding down in Europe while it pivots to Asia.
@Hannibal Sulla
nation invasion of Russia : 0
The Russian invasion of a neighbor : 3
@Hannibal Sulla NATO “expansion” is voluntary, like Finland and Sweden recently - not a forced expansion. With Russian aggression and threats being commonplace; no wonder many European nations want to join NATO.
27:32 those numbers are ridiculously low for Ukraine and are definitely far higher
If you are talking about soldiers, then at the beginning of stage 2, losses of 3,000 dead and 15,000 wounded (of which 80% return to battle) are quite real.
At the moment, the difference is back to scientific (1 to 3), or in full numbers 10.000 to 30.000...
@@Dgenrias plus Mariupol they had 20,000 soldiers in there and only 4,000 surrendered
@@magnusthered4973 20.000😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣
In Mariupol, there was a total strength of 2 brigades (marine - 1,600 soldiers and the National Guard - 2,000 soldiers), to add to them a landing force of 72 soldiers, police and other volunteers / patriots: a total of 4,000 soldiers will come out.
They were taken into captivity according to the statement of Russia:
Marine Corps - 1.027 soldiers.
From Azovstal - 2328 (if I misled a little, I apologize)
Total we have: ~ 4.000 - 3350 (I rounded up) = 650 soldiers died the death of Heroes.
Just have a look at a ukraine first aid kid and a russian one and in general tourniquet on every ukraine soldier. While russians have nothing or even often leave their man behind.
The numbers mostlikely accurate.
@@magnusthered4973 Keep coping :)
What I find so surprising is that they r actually fighting this war like am old school war
What else can they do? If they set nukes off then the rest of world gets involved.
Russia’s military is designed to fight that way, they are not America.
^that is the thing. Since 2008 they were claiming that they are modernizing towards becoming something more modern. This war showed that this effort failed or rather was botched
Magnificent work, as always. K&G is the most relevant geopolitical and history channel of today.
Thank you for doing those videos. I am looking forward to the video that will show the upcoming complete defeat of Russia in Ukraine and end of this war.
Keep up the great work! Watching just ur work can give me a full unbiased idea about what has happened over there. Thx!!!!
Obrigado pelo vídeo, vamos comentar e compartilhar para aumentar o alcance!!!👍
As someone who speaks russian, i gotta say your killing it with how your pronouncing the cities, not even i could do it half as good as you and im Ukrainian myself! Keep up the great job, love how detailed this series is!

I mean, seriously, the guy has a long way to go, I don't know how you can say he's good at pronouncing the names.
@@peezieforestem5078 For someone who isnt born in the area he is doing very well, Listen to other videos about the this topic and most of them either butcher the names or simply dont say it and instead opt for "east side of Ukraine" ect
You think there will be a shift towards speaking Ukrainian in Eastern Ukraine as something of a middle finger to the Russians? It would sure help blow up any ideas of "these people are just Russians who don't know they're Russians" argument Putin loves so much anyways.
You literally say how Ukraine has been bombing Kursk, Belgorod and other places and end by saying Russia will stage false flag attacks? is that logical? Why would they do that when they have Ukrainins attacking their cities? Can't they just use those attacks for the mobilization? What am I missing here? Am a bit confused on the matter, does it have to be a specific type of attack in order to get mobilization started?
Ukraine didn't bomb Kursk or Belgorod, you should mind a line. Kharkiv is bombed by artillery, and Belgorod has suffered an attack by 2 Helicopters. Ukraine attacks only deployed troops that shoot from russia, not launching attacks on russian territory.
Attacks against strategic and military targets like oil depots and military bases probably aren't enough to justify full mobilization. Large scale attacks/false flags against civilians might be a different case.
iirc the Ukrainians (or Russian dissenters?) just destroyed things like ammunition and fuel depots
Attacks on the military installations wouldn't get much reaction from the Russian public.
As far as the war in Ukraine goes, false flag attacks in Transnistria are pointless. However, if Putin is looking to annex Transnistria-which seems logical, given their declared interest in the Ukrainian coast-false flag attacks are a natural “casus belli”. Why wait for an inciting incident when you can just make one yourself?
A video about just the Generals killed would be interesting
8:17
I never knew that I could hear the sentence: “Ukraine claimed to liberate Rohan.” In a real life war.
“The horn of Helm Hammerhand will sound in the deep!”
Where was Ukraine when the Westfold fell?!
Also Rohan'ske is a nice beer, same as Chernihivs'ke.
Thank you for this good and very well documented sitrep. Untill now however you are still presenting and explaining the war in 2D maps but, to understand the situations on the ground better, a 3D representation of the developments on the ground would do it much more justice. Can this be implemented somehow, pls?
THNX
Good point. Seeing the topography of the atea helps a lot to understand how and why the offensives happen the way they happen.
I love animated history videos :D one of the best channels ever
As of 19 May 22, Australia has supplied 20 Bushmanster PMVs, and is supplying a further 20 Bushmaster PMVs (taking the total to 40), and fourtine M113 APCs to Ukraine. Making Australia's contribution to Ukraines resistance around $285 million in both equipment and financial aid.
Definitely!
It’s all very good and I love the logo with Australia stands with Ukraine I’ve seen on weapons sent to them. It is time America and Europe and everyone who has them to needs to be sending advanced missile systems and not just a couple but a lot of them. Ukraine needs that to win.Ik we already just agreed to send some but I think they need a lot to push the Russians back.
@@thesnoopmeistersnoops5167 it was left for the ANA, but they didn't use it. It's not really clear what the Taleban will do with it either as there's not a great deal of fighting going on there now...
@@thesnoopmeistersnoops5167 to whom?
@@xmaniac99 One has been reported destroyed/burnt out with zero casualties. Regarding the statement of them being "useless", the over 112 lives saved by their design during their deployment to Afghanistan says otherwise. Additionally, due to the bushmasters ability to safely deflect IEDs and save lives, 5 other countries have bought them based on their combat performance in Afghanistan. From 2009-2012, when working in Army Headquarters (Australia's), I was part of a team that reported 12 damaged during action over a period of 24 months, all actions had zero casualties, including two Bushmasters that were so badly damaged, they had to be written off, both of which had between 5 and 8 occupants that sustained minimal injuries. So as far as being useless, that is total bullshit.
Funny how you ommited the fact that Germany is already paying in rubles same as couple other countries. While I understand that German industry needs that gas and oil and that its the base for economy of my country too we should openly admit that as a fact because Europe isnt unanomous in sanctions for many reasons.
This is a lie though? We pay in Euro as before
Unless ofcourse Reuters is Russian propaganda?

To see these videos on a Current Real-Time War is really something else, ... as always the videos are amazingly well made.
As always when I watch K&G I learn something I didnt know before, thank you again for doing this!
In the south of Severdonetsk the russians have advanced further than what you've drawn up.
The video covers the events of April
The professionalism and fighting spirit of the Ukrainian military is something with something 😮 to say that I am surprised is to say nothing bravo👏🏻👏🏻
It is incorrect to call the "Azov Battalion".
"Azov" is a regiment. Regiment as part of the National guard of Ukraine.
We are watching history unfold right before our eyes.
It's like watching the news become history...
Funny how even though this war is happening right now the information still seems as unreliable as the sources of ancient wars.
Funny to see this channel use its usual un-biased narration for a modern conflict. Keep up the work, love the channel.
Well as unbiased as it can be that is. For a true unbiased account we’ll need to wait maybe a few years after the war ends
I would say they try to be unbiased but it is clear that they lean towards the West. I appreciate their effort tho.

I’m not a Trump fan by any standards, I’m not American either, so couldn’t vote for or against him anyway. But I do recall a speech he made to some international audience (EU? UN?) warning the EU and especially Germany about being dependent on Russia for energy. The camara then shows the German delegation smiling and laughing. This was 2018 as far as I recall. Not laughing now, are they…?
You mean Donald “I trust Putin more than our intelligence services” Trump?
@@stonedwalljack9276 no he didn’t. He literally threatened to withhold aid for Ukraine to strongarm them into giving him dirt on Biden. You conservatives just say things with no bearing in reality whatsoever.
No matter what you thought of Trump, He was a businessman though and he knew that using a supplier who was not your friend and could turn on you and join your rival instead (China) was a long foolish idea. He was right.
I don't get how people say "I can't believe this historical event is happening now" it shows how misinformed people are and how uncaring they are about anything not in the mainstream media.
Impressive detail, wow. Thank you!
great channel very specific info fantastic job. thank you 4 great content. you got a new sub.

Great Work K&G. This helps a lot summarizing the ongoing war. Keep it up
@@manin361 stop talking shit. You make no sense whatsoever
Well done. Thanks for producing these in such detail.
Russia didn't try to win the war through overwhelming firepower in the beginning. They tried to win through maneuver and crossroads control.
Volnovakha and Mariupul to name a few...
I think major operations will begin in the Winter. This war is not only about Ukraine but getting rid of the American influence from Europe and Russia seems to be winning strategically.
Putting aside the immorality of this statement, how is American influence decreasing in Europe? Finland and Sweden are joining NATO, a bunch of countries decided to buy American military hardware, more US troops are now in Europe, more American oil and gas will be sold in Europe.
Excellent overview, well done to all involved. o7
Wish there were DVDs with subtitles on this
Last war in Europe was televised, this war, livestreamed
We went from tales of archers shooting with bow and arrow, to Tiktok videos of soldiers firing javelin missiles. And yet the nature of human beings stayed exactly the same.
