Have you ever been stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic on the highway?
How about trying to find a parking spot at a sold out event?
That’s the exact position Russian troops are in as they follow orders to withdraw from Kherson. Oh wait…did I forget to mention the part about artillery shells and rocket fire?
The Russian retreat from Kherson presents Ukrainian forces with a huge opportunity; 2 major choke points being flooded by enemy troops…it’s not hard to picture what happens next. Other than immense casualties, we’ll see a huge swing in strategic opportunities and a massive transfer of equipment from the Russians to the Ukrainians.
Here at Zeihan On Geopolitics we select a single charity to sponsor. We have two criteria:
First, we look across the world and use our skill sets to identify where the needs are most acute. Second, we look for an institution with preexisting networks for both materials gathering and aid distribution. That way we know every cent of our donation is not simply going directly to where help is needed most, but our donations serve as a force multiplier for a system already in existence. Then we give what we can.
Today, our chosen charity is a group called Medshare, which provides emergency medical services to communities in need, with a very heavy emphasis on locations facing acute crises. Medshare operates right in the thick of it. Until future notice, every cent we earn from every book we sell in every format through every retailer is going to Medshare’s Ukraine fund.
And then there’s you.
Our newsletters and videologues are not only free, they will always be free. We also will never share your contact information with anyone. All we ask is that if you find one of our releases in any way useful, that you make a donation to Medshare. Over one third of Ukraine’s pre-war population has either been forced from their homes, kidnapped and shipped to Russia, or is trying to survive in occupied lands. This is our way to help who we can. Please, join us.
