There's more to Ukraine than you might know. (Part 1)

The fuse is lit. It is going to blow!!!

It is presented to the world, that the war in Ukraine was started in late February 2022 by Putin's Russia. But is that really what happened?

And how much do we actually know about Ukraine, its citizens and their relation with the rest of the world?

As is normal "every coin has two sides", and we need to get the news and the information from both sides to really understand what is happening.

Because the E.U., in which I live, has decided that its citizens are not longer allowed to access Russian websites and YouTube channels, it has become nearly impossible to get the Russian view on the concerned matter. All the western newsagents present is the western view on it; the western narrative, as you will.

Luckily there are ways to gather some of the needed information, to be able to get an impression of the picture we, in Europe, are not allowed to see.

There are (still) YouTube channels that bring us information about the "other side of the coin".

One of these channels is "Redacted".

As usual, they streamed their show live on 8 Jun 2022 and published short videos of the topics they presented. This streamed one was nearly one and a half hour in length. Its title is "The STUNNING lies about the war in Ukraine | Redacted Live"

As they usually do, the hosts of this show presented 5 topics.

This time these were:

We sold your guns. (from +/- 05:00)
The profit of war. (from +/- 23:40)
Inflation scam. (from +/- 35:30)
Solar panels. (from +/- 1:02:49)
Jan 6 committee. (from +/- 1:11:50)

About the hosts of "Redacted": Clayton Morris is a former Fox News anchor. In Redacted, Clayton and his wife Natali take an in-depth look at the legal, social, financial, and personal issues that matter to you. They want to set the record straight and bring you the stories nobody else is telling. Along with the facts and the full picture, Redacted offers real-world analysis without an agency driven by corporate overloads. With Clayton’s extensive journalism experience, he isn’t afraid to demand the truth from authorities. Redacted is an independent platform, unencumbered by external factors or restrictive policies on which Clayton and Natali Morris bring you quality information, balanced reporting, constructive debate, and thoughtful narratives.

Of coarse I have been following the events in the world closely and have much more to share with you. I collected it all in several playlists on YouTube, from which I would like to present some material to you here.

The first one I titled "World War 3?", and in the order of the publishing moments of the videos it contains amongst more:
