Where's the damn podcast?
That is 100% on me. I am steadfast in no more work after 01:00 hours local time, and yesterday's SITREP wasn't complete until shortly after 01:00 hours. That means no one to sign off on the script. Working on a solution. The challenge is as more and more OSINT accounts give up, get deleted by social media, or are canceled for the right or wrong reasons, the intelligence gathering for us keeps getting longer and longer. Israel-Hamas has not been an issue for the last week due to the cease-fire.

What a spectacle it is to watch Putin being feted like a great man in the Middle East while we bicker and show the world all our petty grievances. I hope I am wrong, but I never thought I would see the day when the West confirms with its action or inaction all the tropes that Russia has worked so hard to impose: softies, petty minded narcisists who buckle before the courage and unity of the Russian people. Rich countries who cannot come up with ammunition for Ukraine when Russia spends 30% of their budget in defense at the stroke of Putin's pen. I know, perhaps I read too much RT, but that is their spiel and it breaks my heart that we are working so hard to confirm their narrative each day that goes by. We will all pay very dearly for this. There is a tiny window of time to realize that Ukraine needs support, Israel needs support, and that no border in any country should be a shitshow. It stands to reason and I still think a majority of people in this country would agree. But hey, I have been wrong and I could be wrong again.
