      By the way, could you do a video on the detailed strategy for getting past the defensive lines built by Russia? I’ve been researching this particular topic, but there is very little content on it out there. I think many people would be really curious to know this issue in depth. For example, what are the ways of de-mining the fields, how do tanks move past the trenches and dragon teeth, and so on. Thanks

      @@CanadianWolverine I also watch Denys Davynov and the daily/bi daily nature makes it far to easy to run afoul of the rumor mill, (Denys dose a fairly good job ensuring veracity, though). The larger picture, step backed, style used here, mixed with the channels' primary focus on historical conflict means that they still remain objective. As for being "pro Ukraine" um, bud, THEY WERE ILLEGALLY INVADED, WERE EXPECTED TO FAIL, and yet not only have they clowned on the supposed "Second best military in the world," they have done so with basically a hand tied behind their back, as the West's condition for all this aid is that they keep the conflict confined to their sovereign borders. Ukraine, by the conventions of war, is technically allowed to stage retaliatory attacks against Russia, and not run afoul of the Montrose Convention, or the Geneva Convention. The fact that they are STILL winning this thing is making military strategists lose their minds, and made them an instant underdog.

    Thanks for the, again, great summary of events. Modern warfare combined with trench warfare - quite unnerving for any attacking side to make even the smallest gains. But recent events show that if there is a breach somewhere in the russian lines, it can go really fast - even to reach Moscow, apparently...

It is impossible to force a person to fight, you can always find a way out: suicide, as an extreme option, desertion, refuse and go to prison. However, for the Russians, killing Ukrainians is a priority. For the idea of ​​empire, for the idea of ​​money.

      -long range fire support that allow strikes against targets deep being enemy lines without the need for special forces or air superiority that also can effect the overall battle
      -the vulnerability of traditional modern military assets, like tanks, helicopters, and ships that has forced a regression of warfare to an almost WW1 nature.
      -the first war to really see the physical effects of a successful information campaign, which can translate to very real support in terms of funding, weapon donations, foreign volunteers ect.
      -the fact that individual platoons can Sponsor themselves to get needed equipment from donations off thier internet viewers…..

The part you have to do is to be aware of each bias, and to compile what you learn from them all into a synthesis to form your own perspective. And - when you've done all of that - your own perspective will also have a 'bias.' It is quite literally impossible not to have one. I do wish that amateur historians would come to recognise this and stop freaking out over a valuable word.
