To commemorate the unfortunate milestone of THREE FULL YEAR of war in Ukraine, I have invited some of the most objective commentators on the situation in Ukraine:
– Gus from "Millennium 7 * HistoryTech" is a knowledgeable commentator on military history and technology, with a particular focus on aerospace. Formerly a ground crew member in the Italian Air Force and briefly involved in the Italian aerospace industry—including a small part in the Eurofighter Typhoon project—his unique perspective is shaped by a cautious yet critical examination of global military developments, often taking claims from Russia and China seriously while questioning exaggerated narratives. Based in Europe (likely Italy), Gus offers a distinctive lens on modern conflicts like the Russo-Ukrainian war, combining his background with a commitment to stimulating critical thinking among his audience.
– Dan Castle from "Wild Siberia" is a highly decorated U.S. Marine Corps Afghanistan war veteran who ventured to Siberia in 2022 out of curiosity, seeking a break from his past and a quieter life. What began as an exploratory trip turned into a transformative journey when he met his fiancée, Ksenia, in Irkutsk near Lake Baikal, where he’s now lived for over two years. Through his YouTube channel, Dan shares travel, educational, and documentary-style insights into life in Russia, drawing from his unique vantage point as an American expat and military veteran. His conversations with Russian locals and veterans, paired with his own combat experience, give him a rare, grounded perspective on the Russo-Ukrainian conflict and life in Siberia’s vast, rugged expanse.
– Andrea Gaspardo from "Epidosis" is a seasoned geopolitical and military analyst. As co-founder and administrator of Epidosis S.r.l., a consultancy firm, he now channels his expertise into providing strategic insights on global conflicts and military developments. Previously a key contributor to Difesa Online, Italy’s leading defense and security outlet, Andrea brought his deep understanding of aerospace, military technology, and geopolitics to a wide audience, notably covering the Russo-Ukrainian war with a critical eye on both Western and Eastern narratives. Based in Italy, his firsthand analyses—shaped by years of dissecting complex international dynamics—offer a rare blend of technical precision and strategic foresight, making him a standout voice in the field.
…to be on a Super Panel to discuss the war so far, through the lens of the most objective and realistic perspectives possible.
