Hi Vanessa, you can add this to your excellent case by the way, I have sensed for some time now from president Lukashenko that Belarus was vulnerable and with the nuclear installation that compounds the situation. The so called punishment of Prigozhin to be banished there, with troops now building camps, is a blessing for Belarus. Dima from Military Summary channel stating Prigozhin would be training Belarusian troop officers. Just my thoughts.

We're lucky to have you. For decades I was quite 'content' with some MSM that I trusted such as CBC! But since last year and the piece on Eva, I got real mad and protested to the ombudsman. The reply was so inadequate that I gave up on them. There is no turning back. This article is quite revealing. Thank you.

Your embedded perspective consistently helps shine some light on the seemingly disparate elements in this chess match.

It is not simply your being in Syria reporting, but perhaps one reason you stay; the region is an ongoing backdrop and gateway of East/West intrigue. Peace.

Thanks for this, Vanessa. Did you see Big Serge's analysis, weighing pros and cons of various narratives around the events of June 23-24? https://natyliesbaldwin.com/2023/06/big-serge-the-wagner-uprising-yevgeny-prigozhins-wild-ride/

Why would Russia need to resort to such an elaborate ruse to distract the West in order to move troops? Even if Western media are distracted, their intel satellites still observe all movements. And will Wagner soldiers who participated in the mutiny (real or staged) be allowed to take their guns and gear with them to Belarus? Russia is nationalizing the rest of Wagner into its MoD. Would Belarus pick up the tab for funding a remnant of a Wagner private military company within its borders?

This was eye-opening! Another angle on the activities of Wagner in Sudan would be useful. According to Al Jazeera and others, they are involved in arming the RSF there. It would be great of you could interview Michael Asher who was one of the authors of this very enlightened report published in 2009: https://eternaldoorman.blogspot.com/2023/06/livelihoods-power-and-choice.html see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Asher_(explorer)

I must be a little distracted because I didn’t quite understand what you were referring too. I’ll watch your attachment and get straightened out.

Thanks Venessa. Keep posting truths and I’ll keep passing them on. One by one people will come to the realization the US and UK governments are perpetuating in terrorist acts
