I'll be in Ukraine/Odesa for about 2 months. Maybe more. The invitation is officially extended to you.

If you need a translator or fixer, I can help you find that also. If you need info on the best/cheapest/fastest/interesting way to get into Ukraine, just let me know.

If you just want to drink whisky in a Ukrainian dive bar... I might know a few places.

I'd also love for you go to out with our NGO and see the work we do in the villages of southern Ukraine.

I worked as a DoD Aeronautical Analyst for 28 years but since retiring I am only a machine for turning coffee and whiskey into waste products. Congratulations Ryan and thank you for providing the rich, accurate, no BS content that you do. Much respect! I just upgraded my subscription.

Nice to see my alma mater (the 115th MP BN) in your videos! Brings back some memories, even if the faces are new.

Just hit that 'Upgrade to paid' button (and did proceed to sign up). But- substack .. why do I have to go through a 4 step captcha trap, identifying bicycles AFTER providing my credit card details ?

People who can't recognize bicycles are not welcome as subscribers ? :-)

No thanks necessary, Top. Subscribing to your Substack is an investment. I like knowing the information I’m getting is legit and free from bias. Think we owe you some thanks. Keep up the great job you’re doing. We all appreciate your efforts.
