  • Episode 24. False Narratives, Conscription, Ranged Fire
    Dec 9 2024

    Hi All, Phillips and Mykola are back with a discussion of the war with a Ukrainian slant. We cover three main issues here. First we run through the situation on the battlefield, and try to put the ongoing discussion of a Ukrainian "collapse" in perspective. Then we discuss Ukraine and Russia and the difficulty of generating new forces--and touch upon the tricky question of conscription. Finally, we discuss Ukraine being given very limited ability to strike Russian military targets in Russia with US equipment.
