Here is a round-up of the latest events on the ground in Ukraine, fratricide, death squads, the Intel coup of all this captured Russian equipment and the Russian army going over to the defensive.

War, and a bigger stick, may be the unfortunate answer for the United States and our allies. A lot is at stake for the free world and keeping the trend line of democracy going up (not down) into the future. Having served in two wars myself in Afghanistan and the Middle East, it’s terrible to […]
