517. Michael Andersen & Brian Bonner - A Conspiracy of Defeatism by Media & Analysts Disguised as Realism

Silicon Curtain

Today I am speaking with "Two Grumpy Old Men”, Michael Andersen and Brian Bonner who seasoned Ukraine watchers and have teamed up to create a video and Substack blog "Two Grumpy Old Men On Ukraine." They focus on Ukraine, and issues in related parts of the world since both have lived and worked in many countries. They write, run Q&As, create videos, report on the unfolding war, and resurface content from their collective archive, to help frame current events in a historical context. ---------- LINKS: https://twogrumpyoldmenonukraine.substack.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@ukraine_calling https://www.linkedin.com/posts/brianbonner_two-grumpy-old-men-on-ukraine-substack-activity-7187382236466327552-wixH/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/brianbonner/ ---------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain ---------- TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND: Save Ukraine https://www.saveukraineua.org/ Superhumans - Hospital for war traumas https://superhumans.com/en/ UNBROKEN - Treatment.
