From the transcript
Back in the fall of 2022, the whole globe watched transfixed as devastating airstrikes pummeled Ukraine. Using a combination of drones and missiles, Russian forces pounded cities, seemingly intent on causing a humanitarian catastrophe.
At the time, the Russian air campaign was rightly condemned by the civilized world, yet the Kremlin wasn't the only one engaging in a brutal air war against civilians.
Thousands of kilometers to the east, the generals in charge of Myanmar, were also using planes and helicopters to massacre civilians. While the Russian air campaign eventually tailed off, the one in Myanmar, also known as Burma, has only grown in intensity.
