War & Conflict with Preston Stewart ·

2025/10/23

This is a big step in the right direction Today we're looking into the new sanctions laid out by the US and EU yesterday focused on ending Russia's war in Ukraine. These two packages are significant not only in their economic impact but also in the symbolism of our finally recognizing that peace requires a good faith effort by both parties, something that has been lacking from the Russian side.

Putin: does nothing, gets what he wantsWe've seen the same playbook a few times now but keep making the same mistake; hoping that Russia changes their war aims and actually wants to negotiate. As of now, we're back to where we were a few weeks ago just without the possibility of new arms going to Ukraine. Putin knows how to drag us along and he's doing it pretty well right now.Source

Russian Forces Enter City Centers - Pokrovsk and...

War & Conflict with Preston Stewart ·

2025/10/21

Situation looking dire in Kupiansk and PokrovskToday we're getting into some battlefield updates as Russia kicked off a number of attacks in the last few days. We're seeing Russian progress into the city center in both Kupiansk and Pokrovsk, both areas that have held for some time now. However, in both cases it does appear to be small groups of Russians infiltrating gaps in the lines rather than a large assault. That raises the question of how easy it will be to actually hold the territory once it's

This is embarrassing...

2025/10/20

We have no Ukraine policyIt's hard to understand the Trump administration's Ukraine policy unless we assume there is none, then it all starts to make sense. We've seen the waffling in both directions, frustrations mounting that it won't just stop and zero progress has so far been made. In fact we may have hit a new low as Steve Witkoff used the 2022 referendums as evidence of why eastern Ukraine belongs to Russia.Source

Trump Caves on Ukraine Again

War & Conflict with Preston Stewart ·

2025/10/18

Just another two weeks...We're right back to where we started as President Trump decides that Putin actually wants peace and gives him a few more weeks to come up with a plan for an in-person meeting. It's the same story we've seen multiple times before. Something seems to have changed after Trump's call with Putin a few days ago as the topic of sending Tomahawks to Ukraine seemed to drive the discussion. https://landmineremoval.org/Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/prestonstewTwitter:

Holsey stepped down announcing his retirement as head of US SOUTHCOM one year into a three year assignment. This comes amidst reports that he had been at odds with Secretary Hegseth over the increasing strikes off the coast of Venezuela.

Surprised they tried this again.Today we're looking at the continued Russian armored assaults north of Pokrovsk. They tried this a few days ago and lost about a dozen pieces of equipment and nearly 100 soldiers. For some reason they tried again and generally met the same outcome. We have footage from a few different Ukrainian units showing how this fight played out in recent days and then we look at a Russian assessment of how tanks can still be utilized on the modern battlefield.
