europe, the u. s. and as far away as latin america. the problem, of course, is that the united states and east that western, sorry, europe of have enjoyed the government media had gemini, for many years. there was no challenge, there was nobody to argue against them. like yesterday we, we, we heard the havana syndrome where the united states for years claim that russia was behind these sorta good tags with mysterious weapons on american spasm and diplomats, and yesterday the c, i quietly came out and said that the way the 2nd does a perfectly reasonable explanation for these headaches and the western media never challenged this does this narrative party did from, from the very beginning. but the, this is, this is the issue. now, the completely opposing world views propaganda views. in which one side simply is of happy that the other gets voice. marita, thanks for coming in and bring as the update as our t's at my guess. if we got reactions about those statements from j political analysts, pierre emmanuel, to man and daniel mcadams. it's classic us government, they always want to drop a stink bomb in advance of any kind of negotiations.
