No disrespect intended Mike, and thanks for your writings, but everyone who’s interested has well and truly read this interview by now, so not sure exactly what you’re adding to the discussion.
Thanks again (sincerely) for your excellent commentaries.
Of course, you are right in that to folk like me (and you and three unsubscribers) is has less value. Many people do not have a 2hr attention span, or the time to reflect on the topics. So rather than them possibly have a reflection on the interview rather than the subjects, I'm breaking it down. If it cumulatively means 5000 views, and 1000 gave a damn, I'd count that as small victory.
On Tuesday, life back to normal. I will return to Middle East summary that day, and Russia/Ukraine summary on Wednesday. From next month, I'll drop to only 2 posts per week because this is exhausting, and I would like time to write bigger articles that are less reactionary.
This isn't a quick read and move on event. There are important implications in what Putin is starting 'straight from the horses mouth' that adds clarity and confirmation to once were considered speculation from various sources.
I believe we must all play our part in fighting the warmongering propaganda machine. There are occasionally pivotal moments, and this is one, and it should be seized. I'm heartened by the protests in the USA, and hopefully they'll continue if fed new awakeners. The same way I've very happy today to see Israeli protesters mentioning not only the hostages but Gaza too.
Thanks for taking the time to break this up into readable pieces, Mike. Mr Putins words were very articulate . And for me they possessed a lot of history I didn't know.
