1. Whataboutism, not relevant we are talking about Ukraine not Poland or other USSR countries.

2. Whataboutism, we are talking about zelensky not putin.

3. No source -> invalid.

"Ukrainians cheer the new year as Russian drones are blasted from the skies"

https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/defiant-ukrainians-cheer-new-year-drones-blasted-skies-2023-01-01/

=> Seems the Iranians drones are getting 100% shot and a very large majority of missiles too, while the new air defense is not fully delivered.

Kotkin is great, he is the best representative of the western perspective on the situation I've seen so far and has a very deep knowledge of the facts.

I disagree with some of his opinions but I feel like he should be required reading/watching for people who want a good understanding of the conflict, along with John Mearsheimer, who Lex mentioned in the podcast.

If you enjoyed him I'd recommend checking out Vladimir Pozner too if you haven't already, he has some really cool insights into Russian thinking on the west

Found this one really interesting
