Really like this series. Thanks Lindy for the series and for people like Joe and Brandon for telling their stories.

[@nowayjosedaniel]

To complete this series, Lindy needs to interview an Eastern Ukranian rebel fighter who lived in the Donbas and saw the Russian Invasion as a savior event, and a Russian Volunteer who joined the war to fight the Nazi's and help their Eastern Ukranian brother. Many Russians volunteered to fight as well. I know of one American from Texas who went to fight for the Eastern Ukranians years prior to the Russian invasion, and was very happy celebrating when the Russians rolled into town bc it meant the end of genocide in the Donbas (led by Azov). Having 4 interviews, 2 & 2 of opposing sides, is a much better picture of WHY this war started and why two sides are fighting.

[@ninemoonplanet]

You know of an American who went to fight for the Russians? Peculiar since neither of them speaks the other's language. Russians don't speak English, Americans are certainly not fluent in any of the Russian dialects. This comment doesn't make sense on many levels.

I think the Ukrainian government with its rampant corruption is enough to understand why men like the interviewee, are really important in the logistical chain , to help charity donated aid, reach its intended recipients. ! It's sad but ture

[@bashkillszombies]

Their government is why this war is dragging on. The leadership there is abysmal. They are all corrupt and on the take. Once you get east of Germany you cease to find honour cultures, morality is not an issue, face is. There's no pride in your work, there's no getting places through hard work and excellence. It's all nepotism, who you are family with, who you are friends with. This is why the military are abject failures, and why they immediately drove the overpriced tanks we give them into the same mine field three days in a row to abject failure. Because the leadership are not there because they know what they're doing. They are there because they are there. Everyone there needs a demotion five ranks. And their president needs to be replaced, the western media has made him popular, but they just had a near civil war because a foreigner who shares no culture, religion, or ethnicity with them and serves foreign interests was ruling over them. And now they have the same again. That's not what all the euromaidan protesters died for. They died to have Ukrainians leading Ukraine.

I am giving a little every two weeks, if more people did it it will add up to a lot to help❤

[@leifsimmons2464]

@@NIL0S I don't mean I should run headlong into this war, but I really admire the people gathering medical supplies, food, portable saunas, sock, etc and making sure it arrives. And I think helping our fellow man should be a normal thing.

Thanks for this. I didn’t know this channel, but came to see Brandon. 🥰 For he's a jolly good fellow, for he's a jolly good fellow For he's a jolly good fellow, and so say all of us! 😊 Heroyam slava. 🇺🇦

I knew Lindy far before the war because my son and I used to play world of tanks. Lindy made the best IRL tank review/video’s. It was kinda shocking when he interviewed Brandon.

[@friscostreetstories5403]

I've followed Brandon. What a special person...Clean n sober, volunteering on the front saving lives. Very important work...because the war goes on. I don't think the Rus will ever give up because of their huge population they can keep sending people. Then I think the Ukrainians will also never stop, they have shown the world just how strong they are. And honor, they do not shoot or torture prisoners. Russia? We have all seen the brutality and negligence of their Army.

[@yourjusticeonline]

just so important. riveting. these interviews... please keep doing them.

[@Cryptogram44]

Keep up the great interviews! Super inspiring to see brave men like this risking it all for the freedom of others!

[@MIKE_THE_BRUMMIE]

I have a macro view of the whole conflict as is my privilege as someone who isn't directly in the line of fire. But I really do respect most of these guys who chose to do something they belived in. This war is a horrific breakdown of sanity. I really like this guyyou can tell he has some social anxiety issues but still goes for it....my god the cosplayers bit what a legit dude This guy is someone who wouldn't even think about calling himself a hero but clearly did things that legitimately make him a hero

[@brianmead7556]

He serves Nazis and alongside Nazis and helps and perpetrate their goals of genocide. He’s not a hero. He’s a villain who will soon be burning in hell alongside his favorite Austrian, courtesy of Russia!

Hey there, just for the record and -hopefully- for your personal amusement, dear mr. Beige, I am a young adult from an oriental despotism in the middle east who has bettered his accent, way of speech and everyday English knowledge with enormous help from your channel (enough that one my most dear friends two years ago, when I had shown him a video of yours said how similar I speak to your exalted manner of speech) and this note is my way of thanking you. Alas donations in foreign currencies are extremely difficult in this specific oriental despotism due to sanctions and isolation of this land and sadly even if I manage it due to the extremely low value of our currency (it is indeed so low that your average retail worker earns about 120 Dollars per month for tireless work) it would be so little that it may look as an insult as is attending a lucullan banquet and bringing for the host creme de menthe. So please excuse me for being so very bold and thinking that my letter of kind words and thanks mean more than an offering of creme de menthe. Thank you very much. Sincerely yours, Kasra.

[@tonykennedy8592]

I've worked in the international automotive industry (a pretty low level office job but still, I know a bit). It is very unusual for legit car dealerships to ACCEPT cash let alone demand it. Because most dealerships are technically financial institutions (because they finance cars) they MUST comply with AML (Anti-Money Laundering) and KYC (Know Your Customer) legislation. Especially if they are dealing with two randomers claiming to be volunteers in a war.

I feel like we in the West are currently in danger of forgetting just how era-defining this war is, and it’s breaking my heart. Thank you, Lindy, for reminding us with these interviews.

[@TimChuma]

What happens with physical donations a lot of times places are not set up with the logisitics to handle them. I was at a charity after a major disaster and 2000 suits got donated in one morning for funerals due to it snowballing on social media.

i know. i had a friend round last night and he follows ukraine closely. i was trying to show him this channel but i just couldn't remember the name - you know, the sword fight guy. the sword fight guy? shadi? no, he does commentary. what on sword fights? yes, you know - the archeologist guy. indiana jones? no, he interviews volunteers. but he thinks they fight with swords? 🤯lucky, he's round again tonight 😂

[@propoker1108]

Please continue doing these interviews

[@nowayjosedaniel]

We need 2 more interviews to give a more accurate picture of the war and why it is happening. 1 interview of a rebel donbas fighter who saw russia's invasion as a savior event. 1 interview of a russian volunteer (there are a lot of them) who signed up to fight the Nazi's and save their Eastern Ukranian Brothers. Then we will have a more accurate picture of the war, what is happening, why, and how we can stop this in the future. (The primary way to stop this is to prevent USA/NATO from starting proxy wars, destabilizing governments, and supporting fringe terorrist groups for the past 75 years).

Oh, the irony, this guy feeling guilty by not immediately spending the few £K donation money for the purpose intended, talking to Lindybeige who doesn't give a damn about taking 6+ years and counting to give people the Hannibal graphic novel they collectively donated £100,000+ for.

[@Ben-fk9ey]

I'm out of the loop with the Hannibal novel, what's that about?

[@blackdeath4eternity]

@@Ben-fk9ey Loyd & a artist are working on a graphic novel but its way behind schedule & some people apparently thought that a couple guys working on a gofundme project were going to be able to keep to the schedule. on one hand i understand being upset over a late delivery while on the other i cant see how someone can expect no delays especially when many similar things would take years to do for a much bigger team.

[@theguy9208]

People keep shitting on lloyd but say nothing about the illustrator. What do you think takes longer? Writing a historically based graphic novel on a topic you have extensive experience with, or painstakingly hand drawing each page one at a time... Particularly as the plans repeatedly changed as the goals were surpassed. The guy might have prior commitments. Not many people can just drop everything and do whatever like lloyd potentially can. All that being said, this is why we dont preorder, folks!

[@TheDominionOfElites]

That’s a comic kickstarter, not war donations. Ridiculous to expect both things to be taken as seriously.
