Wishing you the Best on this project. It's really needed.

In the mid-70s and through the 90's, I was on the U.S. Parachute Team training at Ft. Bragg. I traveled with the Team for many years to World Meets worldwide. At that time, no one could compete against the Russian Team or East Germans. The U.S. Team was always put in the same hotel as the Russians. We were always "warned" not to talk or mingle with them - however, I did. They were the warmest people ever! Their focus in this sport of competing in Style (gymnastics at 200 mph with only 26 seconds of airtime) was impressive. However, I was the first American woman to win over the Russians (not only the women, but also many of the men). I was a 4-time gold medal winner and became very respected by the Russian Team. I'll never forget those days and have many pictures. The men had amazing bodies, which showed their years of training, and the women were stoic and hard to compete against. It was all in good spirit -- it was only our "Team Leaders" and government who put a damper on all.

Thank you and good luck. The one thing I disagree in this is that dishonest humans behave like animals. Animals are more likely to behave honestly and at times are loving. We too are animals but more likely to be perverse than other types of animals

Trump's Gaza statements sound nuts.

He should be more cautious if he wants to avoid getting an ICC warrant to match Genocide-Bibi's.

If Trump has to talk stupid to keep the cease fire, then that price is worth paying.

The real test is what Trump does when Bibi restarts the bombing. IDF snippers are still killing people everyday.

Trump is insane. Noonw can control a mad man. If Congress is so spineless they can't lock him up than our military should do their constitutional responsibility and take over while our 3 branches of government get their shit together. Trump either should be institutionalizes or sent to the Hague for his war crimes against the peoples of Palestine, Russia, Ukraine, Iraq, just to name a few.

Considering that Trump is still sending 2000 pound bombs to Israel (as of Feb 6),

one asks "WHAT thing beneficial to Netanyahu Trump REALLY say to to get him to agree so quickly to the cease fire? (Are we morons to think Netanyahu acquiesced so easily?)

Whatever it was, Netanyahu had to have been able go back to extreme terrorists Smotrich and Ben Gevere wit the "Good news" . What was the good news that Trump promised, that Netanyahu was able to tell???

Did Trump say he would not object to Netanyahu's continued annexation of West Bank?

Did Trump promise that the USA would take over Gaza in such a way that in a few years Israel would be easily be able to take it back--with all of the Palestinians gone???

Why is no one asking this question?

There have to be other high IQ people who have thought of this.

Scott, I am so interested in your new attempt to educate the American sheep. If I can make one suggestion that I think will be of interest to many of your supporters and most likely some of your critics: Write and talk about the real Russia, and don’t skim over the problems that everyday Russians have, meeting their debts. Russian society and American society have vastly different histories and cultures, but oligarchs have both peoples in their grasp, and whereas the Russian government exercises what appears to be a substantial degree of autonomy, that the American government completely lacks,

Dear Scott

There will never be peace any where as long as the USA mind set stays calcified in hegomonic unipolar white supremist exceptionalism. We need to bring this system down Scott. Russophobia is a problem but the bigger problem is our government and the MICC along with oligarch rule of order that has replaced the International Rule Of Order.

Educating us on how nice the Russian people are is inconsequencial compared to our much bigger problem here in the USA

Educating the Americans about Russophobia is teaching them that they have been lied to all of their lives. That has major potential consequences.

I wasn't able to subscribe. I was sent to a telegram app for creators and look for a way to subscribe, but I couldn't find it.

I think I got it. Rather Byzantine method. I've only signed for 1 month just to try out. I'm not sure I'm in. It did ask "request to join". I'll wait and see.
