I keep getting him recommended and he seems like a stock standard "Geopolitics expert" that talks about the amazing advantages that the investments in Ukraine have for the US (making russia lose soldiers and material without committing any american troops) while ignoring the fact that the war is a bloodbath for the Ukrainians.
