Philip Ittner has posted a wide-ranging interview with Nataliya Gumenyuk about the relationship between Ukrainians’ exercise of democracy and their ability to fight the awful war that Russia has foisted on them. Essential viewing. https://youtu.be/CzVDgjrvV_k

Freshly blogged: “Knock-Out Blow to the Russian Bear: Postcard from 1904–05”

This was the last in a series of six postcards that marked the Russo-Japanese War (1904–05).1 I chose it because its caption speaks to Russia’s current war against Ukraine. The Russian Bear’s smaller opponent says, “Your size and weight don’t count in my style of wrestling.”… (continued at https://markstoneman.com/2025/03/04/knockout-blow-to-the-russian.html)

There are two documentary films streaming on Paramount+ right now that I find inspiring and motivating: "Superpower" (2023), directed by Sean Penn and Aaron Kaufman; and "Kiss the Future" (2024), directed by Nenad Cicin-Sain. The first centers on Ukraine and Volodymyr Zelinsky in Russia's current war against Ukraine, and the second goes back to the Siege of Sarajevo...

World War I Poster: How to Act during an Air Raid: https://markstoneman.com/2024/06/28/world-war-i.html #WarAndSociety #WWI #MilHist #homefront #HistoricalPosters #AirRaids #HistGermany

I watched "Hamburger Hill" (dir. John Irvin, 1987) for the first time this afternoon. A brutal and powerful film set in 1969 during the Vietnam War, it focuses on a single platoon in an infantry assault uphill against strong positions. It grapples with core socio-cultural themes from the time, while also using graphic violence to highlight aspects of combat still relevant today.
