I just said the same. We let Puddin get away with so much, that he feels invincible, like he can do WHATEVER the hell he wants and suffer no consequences... because, unfortunately, that's been the truth these last 2 decades.
I'm glad we've done something this time, but none of our leaders are willing to do ENOUGH, yet...
Actually, I take that back: France, Canada, and Estonia ARE starting to do the right thing.
We can't keep ignoring it, not when doing so results in 1/4 of a country being reduced to LITERAL rubble! We should've stepped in LAST year... 😔

If you read the Budapest Memorandum, sadly no, we did not. TECHNICALLY we only promised to SPEAK TO THE UN of any threats came against Ukraine.... 😞However, it's my belief that WE SHOULD BE protecting them, beyond sending aid. Russia signed that are well and I feel that the only reason the US and UK signed it was an an assurance that RUZ wouldn't beach the agreement...
If a school bully said "Fine, I'll stop, but you have to give up your stick" and then two older kids said "Yea, give up the stick, and if something happens we'll speak on your behalf!"... well, that's not very reassuring, because at that point I'll already have gotten smacked around! I don't need you to go tell the hall monitor, I need you to step in and block the punches! 😔
So yea, we've failed Ukraine on MULTIPLE occasions now and I've openly apologized on Ukrainian channels for my country failing to PROPERLY help. Because our inaction just gave ol Puddin Pants that he's invincible and can get away with whatever he wants. We indirectly caused this... and sending aid just isn't enough!
(YouTube doesn't like me talking bad against R... And I've held back in this comment, having to be slightly vague (I suspect just mentioning the countries like I have, will be empty to get this comment removed... But I hope not...)

@hokiturmix You bring up a good point, about fighting the entire county.
Which even Ukraine has, itself, leveraged to great effect! So many civilians who are unable to fight, but WANT to fight, have been allowed to defend their county through Ukraine's brilliant phone app(s).
They already had utilized app(s) to unify many of the country's services, which allowed them to piggyback off of that framework – to "weaponize" it in essence – by allowing civilians to send alerts about incoming airborne threats. If drones or missiles were spotted, people could mark the location and direction of them, which prompted AA batteries to prepare themselves... Absolutely genius, if you ask me!
(I wouldn't doubt they've done more since then, and probably provide civilians the ability to deliver other intelligence, like troop movements... but that's purely speculation on my part)
Point being, everyone wants to help defend their country, and Ukraine is providing their people with even more non-combative forms of contribution! 🤘
They're pioneering modern warfare, as far as I'm concerned. ☺️

@MarcosElMalo2 I doubt Ukraine is using any munitions that contain shrapnel that can't be medically detected, because those sorts of weapons are considered unlawful ("banned", if you rather) for use against other nations. I say this, because it would severely hamper Ukraine's "War Crimes" trials' efforts towards Russia, if they were also committing them. Zelenskey is clearly a really smart guy and being that they wanted in NATO years ago but were declined, I anticipate he'll play this "By the Book", to ensure they're accepted after the dust settles.
That being said, there IS a caveat to all of this "banned weapons" in treaties...
Which is, has Russia has already used this type of weapon against Ukraine? In which case, if they have then Ukraine is permitted to utilize them as well (if they want) and cannot be punished for it. _['punished' being a bit of a hollow term unfortunately, as it requires your country to recognize the ICC"s authority, which Ukraine does, but US, Russia, China and various other smaller nations do NOT sooo... They can't be punished **sigh**]
That said, if playing by the rules... Russia has thereby unlocked the following weapons for Ukraine to also utilize at their own discretion:
- White Phosphorus Incendiary weapons
- Chemical weapons [gasses; eg Mustard Gas]
- Indiscriminate (Dumb-fire) Cluster Bombs [ie bomblettes without their own targeting capabilities; targeting any area that may still have civilians present]
- Flachettes (micro-darts; basically a fin-stabilized carpenter's nail a little short than your pinky finger) I don't know if this is it's own banned item, or if it's lumped in with Cluster Munitions, so I made it a subset just in case.
Though I'm certain I've missed at least one other, maybe more...
Thankfully (?I guess?) there's no Unlockable Achievement in war for the other war crimes like Pillaging Civilian Property, Razing Civilian Structures, Murdering Civilians, Torturing or Rape (the last two I believe are "full stop", not even of enemy soldiers, but I could be wrong...)
😔
Stay strong. Stay united. Stay alive. STAY UKRAINIAN!
Slava Ukraini, Heroyam Slava! ✊🇺🇦 🔱

Side Question: Is it YouTube (app, video, content creator, etc) at fault, or something intentionally done by you (The Enforcer) that caused the video to be so small?
With my phone on portrait, it filled the allotted content box size just fine; however, rotating to landscape and the video frame basically remained the same size, with a huge amount of black borders on all sides... (or also wouldn't respond to a double tap to 'zoom' in to fill the screen; hence my thought it might be YT's fault somehow)
=====
That being said, why no mention of the ""T-90"" variants? (quotes because, as you've pointed out, it's still just a T-72, so the new model number is a bit of a misnomer)
As far as I know, there's been at least a handful of T-90s destroyed by Ukraine, which frankly I find surprising that Russia hasn't rolled those out en masse...
Are they wanting to hold them back as a "just in case", in order to protect the motherland should Russia end up being invaded?
Or are those actually more of an export-only model, kinda like the Su-57?
As always, thanks for your reporting!! 👍❤️
