PODCAST: Near-Daily War Journal 12 May: A Talk Among Rebels, from Ukraine and New York
By Joe Lindsley
I was honored to have this conversation with two great friends who speak freely and courageously. We talk frankly about the situation in Ukraine and about the challenges America faces. I hope we can have many more such conversations, but this is a start, as we try to figure this sh** out.
My friend Zakh Pikh from Ukraine and I speak here with my friend Lucas Denton, a visionary who has worked to help New York's poorest find opportunity with the great chef Claus Meyer, co-founder of the amazing Noma restaurant in Denmark.
We speak about the idea of liberty and prosperity for Ukrainians and Americans.
—"First time in last 300 years that we [Ukraine] are reunited as one country"
—"Ukrainians are risking their lives based on an idea of how to live"
—Food deserts/food apartheid in America vs Ukrainian food resilience.
—In America rich people get access to lower priced, fresher food

How ‘Guerrilla’ Air-Defense is Working in Ukraine—and Why More Help Is Needed
Our friends at LvivNow.com spoke with Ukrainian military experts about the effectiveness of Ukraine’s air-defense:
«There is no clearly organized missile defence in Ukraine. There are, of course, S-300V1 systems, but we need the same as the Americans have, namely Patriot RAS-3 of the latest US-Norwegian modification. These are Norwegian complexes, an American missile, this is what our president asked for. The complex is simpler, but it can also fire at ballistic missiles. We are given MANPADS [portable anti-aircraft missile system], Stinger and Mistral.
