Good morning to readers; Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.

After becoming a POW, few would believe Maksym would return.

When he was returned in a surprise POW exchange, he found his dreams were coming true.

But after what he experienced, nothing could ever be normal again…

His use of govt to destroy the reputation of anyone who disagreed.
His desire to use govt to push his narrative, instead of telling the truth.
Those 2 mostly.

Nailing your Theses to the Pentagon Metro's Door this defines the problem and offers solutions

Yes, there are solutions, but you have to be willing to break things, make lots of enemies, send people into the job market, perhaps make a mistake or two along the way...but all for what?

Saving the nation, that's what.
