Brandon continues his account of his time as a volunteer for Ukraine. He tries to get equipment for his team, and this snowballs into a series of encounters with foreign nerds who prove very helpful.

To complete this series, Lindy needs to interview an Eastern Ukranian rebel fighter who lived in the Donbas and saw the Russian Invasion as a savior event, and a Russian Volunteer who joined the war to fight the Nazi's and help their Eastern Ukranian brother. Many Russians volunteered to fight as well. I know of one American from Texas who went to fight for the Eastern Ukranians years prior to the Russian invasion, and was very happy celebrating when the Russians rolled into town bc it meant the end of genocide in the Donbas (led by Azov). Having 4 interviews, 2 & 2 of opposing sides, is a much better picture of WHY this war started and why two sides are fighting.

@bashkillszombies 7 місяців тому
Their government is why this war is dragging on. The leadership there is abysmal. They are all corrupt and on the take. Once you get east of Germany you cease to find honour cultures, morality is not an issue, face is. There's no pride in your work, there's no getting places through hard work and excellence. It's all nepotism, who you are family with, who you are friends with. This is why the military are abject failures, and why they immediately drove the overpriced tanks we give them into the same mine field three days in a row to abject failure. Because the leadership are not there because they know what they're doing. They are there because they are there. Everyone there needs a demotion five ranks. And their president needs to be replaced, the western media has made him popular, but they just had a near civil war because a foreigner who shares no culture, religion, or ethnicity with them and serves foreign interests was ruling over them. And now they have the same again. That's not what all the euromaidan protesters died for. They died to have Ukrainians leading Ukraine.

@@whiskey_tango_foxtrot__ We didn't give a fuck because it didn't happen. Only russian state media repeat this nonsense. There is zero evidence for it, and people have actively looked for it. It simply didn't happen. Some civilians died, due to the "civil" war that russia initiated after getting kicked out in 2014, but none due to the shelling of cities. Unlike at Bakhmut and Mariupol, where russia whiped those cities off the map with civilians in them. For that, there is actually a shit ton of evidence. Also, if you want to go back in time: there is plenty of evidence for MH17. Russia is a terrorist state. And its lies are catching up to it.

I like that he stands up for his principles, but I don't agree with westerners volunteering in this war. In-between, there's many degrees of that. I don't think you should be ashamed for not running headlong into a war. It's not normal to do what he does, and neither should it be.

I've followed Brandon. What a special person...Clean n sober, volunteering on the front saving lives. Very important work...because the war goes on. I don't think the Rus will ever give up because of their huge population they can keep sending people. Then I think the Ukrainians will also never stop, they have shown the world just how strong they are. And honor, they do not shoot or torture prisoners. Russia? We have all seen the brutality and negligence of their Army.

Hey there, just for the record and -hopefully- for your personal amusement, dear mr. Beige, I am a young adult from an oriental despotism in the middle east who has bettered his accent, way of speech and everyday English knowledge with enormous help from your channel (enough that one my most dear friends two years ago, when I had shown him a video of yours said how similar I speak to your exalted manner of speech) and this note is my way of thanking you. Alas donations in foreign currencies are extremely difficult in this specific oriental despotism due to sanctions and isolation of this land and sadly even if I manage it due to the extremely low value of our currency (it is indeed so low that your average retail worker earns about 120 Dollars per month for tireless work) it would be so little that it may look as an insult as is attending a lucullan banquet and bringing for the host creme de menthe. So please excuse me for being so very bold and thinking that my letter of kind words and thanks mean more than an offering of creme de menthe. Thank you very much. Sincerely yours, Kasra.

I've worked in the international automotive industry (a pretty low level office job but still, I know a bit). It is very unusual for legit car dealerships to ACCEPT cash let alone demand it. Because most dealerships are technically financial institutions (because they finance cars) they MUST comply with AML (Anti-Money Laundering) and KYC (Know Your Customer) legislation. Especially if they are dealing with two randomers claiming to be volunteers in a war.

We need 2 more interviews to give a more accurate picture of the war and why it is happening. 1 interview of a rebel donbas fighter who saw russia's invasion as a savior event. 1 interview of a russian volunteer (there are a lot of them) who signed up to fight the Nazi's and save their Eastern Ukranian Brothers. Then we will have a more accurate picture of the war, what is happening, why, and how we can stop this in the future. (The primary way to stop this is to prevent USA/NATO from starting proxy wars, destabilizing governments, and supporting fringe terorrist groups for the past 75 years).

People keep shitting on lloyd but say nothing about the illustrator. What do you think takes longer? Writing a historically based graphic novel on a topic you have extensive experience with, or painstakingly hand drawing each page one at a time... Particularly as the plans repeatedly changed as the goals were surpassed. The guy might have prior commitments. Not many people can just drop everything and do whatever like lloyd potentially can. All that being said, this is why we dont preorder, folks!
