Fascinating and thoughtful; much to mull over. One little note: Putin's birthday and the attack on Israel was October 7, not November 7..... thank you for putting the pieces together.

Hey Jeri! I’m glad you liked it. THANK YOU for pointing out the date mix up - it doesn’t change the context at all - just an FYI. Thanks again and I’m happy you enjoyed it. 🙏🤍

I will re-read this many, MANY times.

I’ve shared it with my people (who may or may not read it because it is, as you warned looong)…

I turned the TV off to concentrate, ( rare for me, as it’s always that something… blaring in the background) and I’m glad I did because this was complicated and needed my full attention.

I’m hoping that the friends & family I forwarded this to will read your thoughts as your analysis is insightful and informative, a wake-up call - I wish I was more confident that they will…

I’m blown away by the amount of information contained here. This is a masterpiece&

I’m grateful for your insight/thoughts.

I hope Kamala’s team has read this too- as the world’s next leader of the “free world” as we know it.

She may be the only politician left standing to change the course of our nation & the free world .

🙏

Thank you SO much for your kind words! I’m still getting the hang of this app, so I didn’t see your comment until now, but it really made my day! 😊 I totally get that it’s a lot to take in—I even shared it with my family, but I’m pretty sure no one read it either, lol. That’s actually why I put together the shorter version you read first, with the videos… I’m trying my best to share what I know with everyone in a way that gets through! 😫 But as I keep finding new ways to explain things, I’m realizing it’s helping me become a better writer, which has been fun. That short article’s getting some good traction now, so I’ve learned short-form content is the way to go! Like I mentioned, I’ve got a few other shorter but super informative articles in the works. Don’t worry, I won’t make you sit through another 41-minute read, haha—sorry about that! But seriously, thank you again for checking it out, and I’m so glad you appreciated it. 🙏😅

Thank you so much, Jaime! I just wrote a long reply to your other comment, but as I was about to hit ‘send,’ I accidentally swiped left and it deleted everything 😫😫🤣 I’m exhausted — almost 4am here. I’ll rewrite it tomorrow 😅 Thanks again for your kind words! 🙏

Thank you so much for this deep insight. I have been aware of this for a long time but I have been unable to convey all of the intricacies to my friends the way you just did. Thank you for doing the research and pulling it together so smoothly. Since I am an avid reader I love the longer form with more details but honestly most people do not and anymore most people prefer to get information through TV, podcasts and videos. I found the newer version more direct and will probably influence more people. Either way, you put a lot of work into explaining this so most people can understand. Thanks again for your dedication and I will definitely share this as much as possible.

Thank you so much, Sheryl! It was honestly a bit of a challenge to explain everything clearly 🫨 but it really bothers me that so many people don’t seem to grasp what’s going on 😑 I’ll be posting 1-2 more pieces next week to keep breaking this down as clearly as possible. I’m so glad you enjoyed the post, and I really appreciate you taking the time to read it and leave such a kind comment 😊🙏💙 Thank you for caring about what’s right—we definitely need more people like you!

Sheryl, like you I’ve been aware that Putin was heavily involved with getting Trump elected and

his ongoing meddling in our politics and society,

but when I tried to tell people about it they ignored

me. As soon as I laid eyes on Paul Manafort on tv at the 2016 RNC Convention, I knew we were in serious trouble.

Thanks Don for laying this out in a coherent framework. That was a lot of work!

You completely align with my own thoughts, although yours are based on a greater depth & breadth of information, & I am quite ignorant about AI. Very fascinating & concerning reading!
