Many people have wondered what is going on in this war in Ukraine. What is real? What is propaganda. Who started it? Whose fault is it? What is true, what isn’t. Russia must be winning…right? If the news media is reporting Russia isn’t winning, how can that possibly be true?

In this series we will look at some perspectives that were not readily covered in the media or were misrepresented altogether. This series of articles will attempt to connect “the dots” whereever possible.

What this series wont do is tell you what to think. Information will be presented and you will be welcome to make up you own mind.

This series will not focus on sentimentality, as it will stick to facts over emotions. This will make some people unhappy, in fact it might make almost everyone unhappy. Everyone is welcome to express their thoughts and feelings in the comments.

This series will not be perfect. It will not be the “final word” on anything. What it will be is a carefully considered series of articles from military, historical, economic, political and demographic perspective. Hopefully nearly everyone will learn something and a few might learn quite a bit.

We will start tomorrow with where we are right now…March 4, 2022, in the middle of this war with Russia declaring they are shifting strategies and focusing on the Donbas. We will begin tomorrow with a post entitled “The Problem with the Donbas“.
