but the invasion of Ukraine changed that.

He's got enough of a military background that he doesn't just blow smoke.

Since the news is doing such a piss poor job of reporting on Ukraine, we need to get out there and find our own. Jake Broe is a decent source, fact checking as much as he can.

He's a fairly prolific poster, has displayed good sense about the war from the beginning, tempered with a lot of first hand military experience.

There are half a dozen or so people out there who are good to follow for Ukrainian news.
