you go for us, martin. i'm from a journalist point of view, i think is going to be a massive media fudge. i think it's gonna be a little secondary. so they've already prepared, you know, and um, i think we're gonna, we should, we should be prepared for that. i think it's interesting. i went with the conversation with the are you creating information they did this in the they they handed that they've been discussing and how to do this. i suppose it's how to budget. that's what they've been discussing. martin. yeah. i know. yeah. i think the ukrainians have been doing very good job of fake news for all for a long time, under the leadership of their american friends and get few oh is wherever they go in the world. the americans always build this. this a sense of this information of she experienced a lot myself my own career. so we wish we should expect a lot of fake news, but you know what we should never forget is that the west is losing. and when you lose and it will, you lose ground, you lose territory, you

martin. i think that there might be something that i am from, from a humble capability of let's go out of this. um yeah, i think perhaps we're letting, but some, what you described is really a catastrophic failure of the us foreign policy. you know, in the, at all times and unprecedented, i would say, so i think there is something to them that you know is that, is that we, we are learning it that they are not learning. and then we have, we have phone was informed, was over expensive um, in the short term and long term. but um i, i sympathize with the republican somebody else because they take just point to heart and they must feel for the republicans, the best hop. both houses now are basically a democratic majority and it won't happen, but this guy was absolutely extraordinary to 1st is through the last moment. when he paid off, was he also to deal with the mine both to see to but some from the democrats side, from the button come. it doesn't look like it losing stuff because they must be as

there's no the been martin. this bit, cynicism is endless here because for example, is really media and government officials are not claiming they will for rightly or wrongly, wrongly is a they, they, the ran may strike is real in response, which is exactly what, nothing, you know, who wants to get to that will force the americans in, i mean, this level of citizens keep going. you have the account come in the system possible as an impossible scenario. you know, and bite in would be completely off. is truly even to this. i'm sorry martin, but we watched israel with el cheapo hospital. this absolutely decimated, turn it into ashes and the world watch hospital. we're not talking about a military to be of george. i'm with the cynicism is so thick it's. it's hard to see through it. um i would contend, but the, the sabre rattling with has bull. uh, the attack on the uh, uh, uranium consulate and damascus. it's, it's a diversion because they want to continue resolving or in pursuing their genocidal policies in god. so
