Thank you for this, Patrick - and for always reminding people to gather from many sources and then think for themselves - the definition of free-thinking! (and yet, vanishingly rare, in many circles now). I watch everything from every perspective I can get, and try hard to weight against my bias, to stay open to hard reality.

Your instincts for where the story is happening are unerring (your interviews in Georgia were FASCINATING - perspectives we never hear here, so precious).

This particular story, makes me feel bad for every soldier (and civilian also) on both sides of this horrible and completely unnecessary conflict - should have been stopped at Istanbul, at the absolute latest (or better yet, never sparked at all).

The conditions of an individual human being, no matter how well armed, equipped or supported, when faced with that kind of surveillance and coordination of fire (totally sureal - to be bringing-in artillery AND tank fire, with one central view) are so far away from what we have planned and trained-for in the west, I feel like every pro-war figure here, should be sent on a front line tour like you're doing - think a bit about the horror (and economic ruin) that they are still, even at this late date, pushing their nations toward, before they run their reckless mouths.

Thank you for your extraordinary courage and dedication. Stay safe, godspeed.

I wonder about the intelligence of anyone who perceives the credibility of Starmer & Lammer as anything other than mentally deranged imbeciles!

b/s baffles brains an amazing story of US & UK war criminals supported by totally dishonest Western Media

i.e. How Israel improved upon the Goebbels doctrine

Starmer permanently ties UK nuclear arsenal to Washington (declassifieduk.org)

Author is an 85 year old UK working class Socialist who discovered the UK judicial myth of innocent until proven guilty!
