Today marks Day 1,418 since Russia’s “Kyiv in 3 days” plan. In this video, I break down what actually happened — the early assumptions that collapsed, the key moments that turned the war, and why the outcome has been the exact opposite of what Moscow sold its people (and the world). If you want the clean, sourced storyline of how three days became 1,418, this is it. #Ukraine #Russia #Kyiv #Putin #Zelensky #UkraineWar #WarUpdate #Geopolitics #NATO #BreakingNews Facts over noise.

Russia has now fired the Oreshnik near NATO’s border— a system designed less for battlefield damage than for strategic signaling. In this video, I explain what Oreshnik actually is, why its use near NATO territory matters, and what realistically changes next for Ukraine, NATO air defenses, and escalation dynamics. This isn’t about hype. It’s about understanding intent, capability, and consequences. Facts over noise. Context over headlines. Truth over talking points. #Ukraine #Russia #NATO #Oreshnik #MissileStrike #UkraineWar #MilitaryAnalysis #Gerdes

Iran’s leadership cut the internet to choke off coordination, information, and momentum. But the crowds kept coming — and in some places, they grew. In this video, I break down how protest movements function when a regime pulls the plug: what replaces social media, how networks adapt, what “going dark” actually changes (and what it doesn’t), and the signs that tell you whether the regime is regaining control or losing it. Facts over noise. Context over headlines.

Iran’s protests have reached Day 12, and the longer a movement survives sustained pressure, the more it reveals something deeper: not just anger in the streets, but stress inside the system itself. In this update, we’ll look at what the persistence of the protests suggests about the regime’s ability to contain unrest, what markers to watch next, and why this kind of instability has ripple effects far beyond Iran’s borders. We’ll also connect the dots to the wider global picture — why multiple flashpoints can be symptoms of the same underlying shift: strained institutions, hardening geopolitical lines, and a world where old assumptions are getting tested in real time. Facts over noise. Context over headlines.
