"No one gives an F about the soldier. Nobody will do anything about him. That's the main problem with all these traumas. A lot of people die not because they get killed, but because they can't get proper medical care."

Poor medical care in the Russian army
- A Russian military paramedic highlights the terrible state of medical care causing tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths
- More than half of Russian soldiers who died lost their lives due to improperly provided medical care
- Medical training for Russian medics and soldiers is minimal and often incorrect
- Medical equipment is notoriously bad, antiquated Soviet-era supplies
- Russian law prohibits medics from performing life-saving interventions
- Soldiers are advised they will die if they sustain anything more than a light injury as no one will help them
Corruption scandal in the Russian Ministry of Defence
- A major corruption scandal is unfolding implicating several generals and ministers related to the construction of Russia's National Defence Control Centre (NDCC) in 2014
- The lavishly designed NDCC reportedly cost over 40 billion rubles (500 million dollars) with money spent on expensive furnishings at inflated prices
- The sprawling case began with an incident of petty bribery and has expanded to implicate more senior leadership, potentially reaching as high as Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu
- When MOD personnel have lavish properties on MOD salaries, it indicates corruption is taking place
US public opinion on the Ukraine war
- Jonathan explains the moral foundations theory of political psychology and how it relates to in-group/out-group preferences of liberals vs conservatives
- Pew Research polling data shows:
- Majorities of US adults have favourable views of Ukraine and NATO, view Russia as an enemy, and have no confidence in Putin
- A growing share of Republicans (55%) say the US should pay less attention to overseas problems and focus on issues at home, while Democrats say the US should be active in world affairs
- There are partisan divides on international issues with Democrats more favourable to Ukraine/NATO and Republicans more likely to focus on domestic issues
- Republican support for NATO and Ukraine has declined since the start of the war
