I guess a big problem is that people who were not taught how to use tools usually don't have them and don't know how to use them so they cannot do much even if they watched YouTube. For example, my wife declines to use any power t

I don't see how is this possible, are you counting each operation as a separate "invasion" so you get two invasions in Ukraine (2014 and in 2022) for Russia, then I imagine Syria and Georgia? But what is fifth - is it Transni
