This is Report 470, which is 44 pages combat only with a special report.
We are very hopeful that we will be able to introduce a new host for the podcast within the next 7 to 10 days, with it restarting in September. Thank you to everyone for your support and patience. It is deeply appreciated.
What's the big story? The New York Times and Washington Post released stories today, and we explain why both stories are problematic.
What's the second story? There is a real problem that neither publication covered, and that is the quality of individual first aid kits being issued to Ukrainian troops. We explain what the controversy is.

I've noticed some inadvertently pro-russian bullshit from respectable news sources more than once this week. The first was from NPR. Annoying af.
Where did you see the failed Ukrainian attack?
