  1. I understand why NATO and other European countries are not getting involved in the fighting as to not escalate the situation with Russia because of the threat of nuclear strikes, but the deliberate targeting of civilian targets ( apartment buildings, grocery stores, restaurants, dams) is absolutely atrocious and certainly could be labeled as acts of terrorism. Do you think that if this type of targeting of civilians persists other countries may do more than just donate arms and financial funding, and actually join the effort to repel Russian forces back across to their own border? Every time one of these instances happens I think that Ukraine should send a storm shadow cruise missile deeper into Russia. This type of terrorism is appalling and should not be tolerated by any country.

  2. Im commenting as I watch this and just heard Jake say that Roman and his sister were at the pizzeria when it was targeted by Russian ballistic missiles. Unreal ! This guy is dodging artillery and shrapnel on the front lines on any other day of the week, and here he is at a restaurant out of his uniform, way away from where the action is, trying to feed himself and his sister and he has to worry about BALLISTIC MISSILES?

  3. WOW, I can't believe Putin said that. Its strange, because before I started watching this video, I was thinking about the Wagner group and how I could describe them to my cousin. As I'm thinking about it, I would say that they are a private military company, owned and funded by a private citizen. (Pregozhin, Putins personal assistant/chef years ago) and in this video is a clip of Putin claiming that Wagner was created, funded, and paid for by the Russian FSB. My jaw just about hit the floor. Hilarious when Jake points out that Vlad wasn't supposed to say that. WOW 😳

  4. Also would say that Wagner was created so that the Russian Federation can have a military group at their disposal as a form of plausible deniability.

  5. I really wasn't expecting Zelensky to legalize cannabis as I didn't think that it was very popular there. Back in 1995-96 my cousin's neighbor hosted a foreign exchange student from Karkiv Ukraine (Sergiy Drapiko) and we became pretty good friends in that one year that he stayed here in Maine, but he had never even seen cannabis. Well...I ended up "showing" it to him and he enjoyed it quite a bit. Since the war began I've been trying to contact him through various means to see if him and his family are OK, and from what little I've gathered, he is living in Germany and away from danger which is a relief. I'm still waiting to talk to him to hear what his take on this whole situation is.
