i think it's the p t s. d. when you start the point, guys in combat situations over and over and they don't get the treatment they need, you put them back into civil society and they've been trained to kill. so it becomes very difficult for them to remove themselves from that mentality. and without the proper treatment, then, you know, we're going to have some outburst of some kind like this. well, i know several guys who suffer from ps the one who lives in russia insight area. and he moved there specifically because it was home and peaceful it remove him from, you know, the city life and the things that could trigger him any moves successfully there. so i think part of it is just not putting people in situations where they can recover and live a normal life. just going back now to the incident in las vegas, the mind found in the call that this is mass. the levels bug are reportedly served in ukraine. this is with the us army unit, the provides training for the country strip. this was before the conflict with r

d. s r t spoke neck, given our video agency roughly all the band on youtube, the tenant services for the question, did you say they requested the welcome back to was a parts with david kirsten, british politician, leader of the heritage party as a person just before the break here you're, you're sure this very interesting experience demonstrating how sure the israel is about exerting its influence and how little it's cares about the other countries. because um, you know, we would presume that all those british or american political agents would have a legions to that people 1st rather than the people of israel. now i would, and i asked about that because the american politics has been in disarray for a couple of years. but now particularly we saw by them is ling dock. and it happened that this precise moment is their own, chose not only to escalate in gaza, but also to open up 2 additional friends in lebanon in iran. do you think it did it on purpose? simply because it's main sponsor, it's main ally. it happens to be distracted. yeah, i think the timing is very, very interesting because

from the, for example, h t s like government h d s needs to be taken off the terrace and list because the outside era sanctions need to be listed once they are listed and then that on leashes international aids . not only a but also recognition the private sector will pick up one that they feel comfortable and they'll start to move in. so it's whole a process parallel moving on several fronts, diplomatic, political, and economic. meanwhile, they're all still ongoing. secure st. challenges across parts of the country, including a security operation, ongoing and homes. tell us a bit more about what is going on the and the sort of security challenges just expected. i mean, the com go increase over time. basically several weeks ago, settlement centers was set up by the new government, damascus settlement centers, and basically disarmament registering and, and re integrating form. or i saw regime forces, army police and several other forces. many of carpet keeping is also giving in weapons and identifying all these people are and trying to reintegrate them. obviously there's many individua
