Inside Ukraine's secret drone warfare juggernaut

As the grandson of General George S. Patton, Jr. and the son of a 2-star general, I've been around soldiers for as long as I can remember. But while filming a documentary on the transcendent drone industry in Ukraine last week, I learned more about modern warfare than I ever imagined. Not far from the front, I met a drone pilot who now analyzes lessons learned from warfare and shares them on his X account with more than 100,000 subscribers. I interviewed a soldier who'd recently received the H

This one clip is now dark satire for Russians, and a reminder of how far Putin’s promises have fallen, and why he wants censorship: to shrink the audience for his failure.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.
