Great! He lives in the United States. He can speak freely.

I mention this because I'd like, please, a serious comment from him on why the Russian army captured and occupied the Chernobyl nuke plant and its surrounding radioactive area. The Russian commander actually had the young Russian conscripts dig trenches.. in the radioactive soil. Someone, eventually, in the chain of command realized the SNAFU and ordered a full retreat when the young men were showing symptoms of radiation poisoning. I guess this is what'd you call "radiation cannon fodder."

You know,like Putin, General Custer had "a plan," too. Nincompoops!

Why don't you ask him in the comments section either at his YouTube channel or his blog? I doubt he reads the comments here, although MNE is on his blogroll.
