Marshall here. Welcome back to the Realignment.

Hello everyone. We are officially in the final week of daily coverage of Russia's invasion of

Ukraine. Obviously the fact that we're ending this daily series after this week has nothing to say

as to how the broader war is going, or just the broader area, just the recognition of the fact that

irregular form of warfare against Russia. We get into the way those are operating on the ground,

however, it's there. All those other great things too. Quick note for everyone as well. We would

love to get comments and replies from folks, especially if we transition out into these party

Ukraine topics. So if you have any thoughts for stories you'd like us to cover, even in the end

up way we've been doing that, be sure to reply and email us at reallignmentpod at jimro.com or you

can also go check out the substack as well too, which comes out on Fridays. Now a quick note,

a bunch of people have also asked us how exactly the tipping function works. There is a link in the
