🇺🇦The Truth about Donbas: What the soldiers really think. My friend Max and me. Avdiivka

  • Everyone anticipates a counteroffensive. Some say it has already begun. Does it really matter? To the men who’ve been holding the ground for many many months this is irrelevant. The counteroffensive is a buzzword for Ukraine RUclipsrs and less often the Mainstream media, it’s clickbait.
    If are have to counteroffensive or not it is hardly a concern for the man holding the ground. This is Max, he is part of a team that has very specific tasks. Our fateful meeting and work that followed changed my entire thinking towards my war efforts.
    I watched part of an interview today, it featured a soldier who said his social media is his legacy. In no uncertain terms I have always made it very clear why I post.
    Generators was great and later in the summer we can consider that again before winter. Now is the time for preventative medicine.

What I am doing is also very weird when put in context and compared to all previous wars. The reality is that the guys never seen on camera are doing more and suffering more than all of us and will continue to until they get on camera somehow.

      I agree but I don't. If EU is just focused on refugee aid then they cannot help with weapons. It costs alot for refugees. It frees up their taxes to send and replace weapons given to Ukraine. All are a part of war and all needs funds...

    Hi Brandon, you did this interview before leaving Ukraine. I can see in your eyes that you're fighting with your concience. Don't! You were there. You know the score. You have proven to everyone that you're a natural talent in providing what is needed. It started with medical supplies and progressed to generators. Why? Because you saw what was needed. Now you've progressed to drones and thermal sights because they are needed. You won't loose your support so keep on doing what you are best at . You created TBIC. The Best I Can. That is what you're doing because you're good at it. Never forget that!

    I thought about donating for Ukraine ever since this war started. But I always felt like my donations would disappear in the gears of bureaucracy, if I donated to the Red Cross or similar organizations. They are like a watering can, Brandon is more like a syringe. He gets the things that are needed exactly where they are needed. That's why I donate, even if it's just a drop in the ocean. ++

      Like pebbles, each time we give Brandon our small donations, it can start a landslide, like a pile of pebbles rolling down. A pebble thrown into water ripples out further than we can see.
      I add a few pebbles myself, knowing it can move mountains when put together with other pebbles.

    Max is a man of wise words. It's kill or disable soldiers until they have none left to fight.
    To kill the enemy, you have to see them. They are capable of learning and changing technique, so anything that let's you see them first or be more accurate in aiming is necessary.
    I can intellectually understand war as I have always been interested in military history, not just the battles but the socio-economic and geopolitical causes and effects.
    I have no imagining of the reality.
    We help because we should. Our fellow humans are in need. Can we help? Then we should.
    Russian military has to be smashed and destroyed. They will keep trying for the new empire, whether it take years or decades. They are a cult with religious fervour.
    I hope you raise as much money as needed.
    For Max and all defenders in Ukraine....
    Keep safe, be well.

    Max is the guy that you want by your side.
    You vlogs quietly but beautifully explain the horrific situation that war brings along with the ordinary men and women who are doing such extraordinary things.
    I don’t know if the good guys always win….it’s usually those with the biggest most powerful support.
    Here Ukraine is getting more support as time goes on and the Ukrainians are fast becoming some of the best soldiers around.
    Brandon you are a small cog in a big piece of machinery but what you are doing is absolutely needed.
    When you feel low just remember you are in a war and you cannot fail and Russia must be defeated.
    The day Ukraines defeats Russia is the day you can smile sit and reflect that you played your part in history.

    American here.. for other Americans out there that might not know how this works.. this money isn't coming out of our taxes. Not directly in a way that a lot of people think it is. It comes out of our already allocated defense budget which is somewhere in the neighborhood of a 80 trillion dollars, the highest in the world. It is money that would be spent regardless of whether Ukraine was at war with the terrorists or not. So we are not "wasting" money sending it to Ukraine we would be "wasting" this money regardless, on a war that doesn't exist. . And no, it is not a waste to save Ukrainian lives and defeat fascism and tyranny in Europe. Think of it as the new war on terror, because thats what it is. Слава Україні! 🇺🇦 🇺🇸 🤘🏻
