Nice, but be careful with the intro music, 1:26, as it pretty much completely drowned out the presenter!

On the contrary. Russia doesn't have a steady supply of artillery shells. Theyve already been to North Korea and China to beg them for more and both countries have obliged even though China strongly denies it. Theyve asked N.K and China for missiles too hence why there have been more duds falling behind Ukrainian lines and not going off

What Zac said about trade-offs is spot on. There's no such thing as heaven on earth. Political choices are choices about what problems you're willing to put up with.

I don't agree with the phrasing of the title of this video, politics isn't about winning, its about helping people and improving their lives. To say that a political party is "winning" is to trivialize politics and make it seem like a sports game, when it very much clearly isn't. I am a fan of this news outlet, but this title is really disappointing to see.
