Summary

We are far from having a clear picture of the geopolitical wrangling surrounding the Russian Invasion of Ukraine, and the livestreamed video of the conflict doesn't actually clarify things much yet. However, it does provide us with a very interesting picture of citizens, militias, and light infantry pushing back against a hostile force. So, let's talk about the need to have:

Guns and Ammo
Intel Gathering Tools
Intel Dissemination Tools
Access Denial
Tools and Raw Materials
Water and Food
Medical Supplies
Transport Capability
Shelter
Money

And, as promised, some links to the TV shows Servant of the People and Yes Prime Minister.

0:00.0	Hello everybody and welcome to another T-Rex talk. In this particular episode, we're going to talk about the war on Ukraine because everybody is talking about the war in Ukraine.
0:08.8	So now in this particular episode, I want to talk about practical lessons that we can get from looking at the footage that's coming out of Ukraine, not the bigger, wider geopolitical stuff and picking sides and things like that.
0:20.4	Because that's what
0:22.0	everybody's doing right now. I think it's a little bit premature. It's almost always very uninformed.
0:27.0	Winston Churchill said that Russia is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside of an enigma. And the only
0:32.3	thing more mysterious and enigmatic than what Russia did in Churchill's day is what Russia is doing
0:36.8	now in modern times.
0:38.9	So a lot of people are chiming in and it's just really hard to know the geopolitical background.
0:44.4	We're not really going to get into that here because that would require trying to understand
0:47.4	and explain a very convoluted and much lied about 25 years under the current government,
0:52.2	which is built on a century of Soviet abuse, which is
0:55.1	built on many centuries of cultural history that, uh, yeah, the number of definitive Russia versus
1:01.1	Ukraine statements that I'm seeing on the internet are a little bit surprising to me. And also,
1:05.5	the reaction is extremely weird. People who were last week itching for Texas to secede from the federal government and then
1:13.4	fight it for all that it's worth are this week demanding that Ukraine surrender because
1:17.8	Russia owns Ukraine. And on the other side, people who last week were literally wearing
1:23.4	hammer and sickle t-shirts calling for communism are this week decrying the military that is
1:30.1	unofficially flying Soviet flags over their tanks. I think the liberal media kind of painted
1:34.8	themselves into a corner with the Trump-Russia collusion story, which turned out to be false.
1:40.3	But Putin's false alliance with Trump has made him almost as bad as Trump in mainstream eyes.
1:47.6	And so, of course, he's wicked and evil and Ukraine has to be good.
1:50.7	And because of that, conservatives have kind of defaulted to liking this lieutenant colonel from the KGB,
