"People are dying for random patches of non-descript scraps of land in the middle of nowhere that have no strategic value except to assuage a dictator's ego."
I like the way Tim Mak describes the various sides, war strategy, the human feeling of a Ukrainians who must be so tired if the war and so on. Interesting comments on Germany's military equipment.
It's unsettling to hear Tim Mak say that Germany, for example, is buying the wrong kind of "war stuff", tanks instead of what would be needed for asymmetrical warfare. Europe , while not the US, still seems a heavy weight power that would know how to build up its military defense the right way. And particularly would want to do it the right way since it has so much at stake. Not the time to want to be told that this European defense build up is .... ugh!
I am a subscriber to Tim Mak's Counteroffensive on Substack. I feel the publication provides the most up to date and accurate information on the war in Ukraine. Many legacy newspapers publish the Kremlin talking points. The Counteroffensive does not and Tim made it clear in the interview he does not use their talking points. I also feel it was very interesting how Tim felt that the Germans equipment buildup of tanks was a mistake !
If you want to know more about the Ukraine war, I recommend the YouTube channel of Jason Jay Smart. He has a daily update on the war. https://www.youtube.com/@JasonJaySmart
I appreciate his segments so much, I don’t want Ukraine to be forgotten!
I think Jen is the most prepared interviewer in the business.
The work you is crucial.
I hope EU becomes better equipped for modern day warfare and continues to support Ukraine. I hope Ukraine becomes an EU member.
Thanks for keeping us posted!
Always intelligent questions and answers with Rubin and Mak! Thank you!

Thank you. I’ve been out of touch with what’s happening in Ukraine. This helps put me back in touch. Very informative and interesting.
