'...a lot of people recently talking about the same things — the decline of “liberal democracy”...'

That's like "the decline of universal altruism", or "the decline of people's ability to fly". Something that has never existed cannot be said to decline.

LOL. Good point. People love talking about non-existent things. Better than facing reality.

With all love, brother, please take a read through for typos, after which this comment may be deleted. Things like, "if the attack succeeded the Israelis would keep tjhat secret !" It distracts from your valuable content.

From a content standpoint, you're spot-on. Any governmental announcements, or comments from the media-NGO columns, must be very carefully and deliberately weighed for blatant or implied falsehood. The headline "destroyed 6000 missiles!!1" coming out past day or so was eyebrow raising for all manner of reasons, but likely effective in propagandizing people who really, really WANT to believe in their champion.

Thank You...

Being too fast in reporting has its disadvantages...

I like to be up-to-date as much as possible too.

Alexander too. He is a bit late in reporting because he follows many resources that he in the past found reasonably trustworthy, among which some Israeli Media.

I agree on that. But i do nor RELY on them in all cases, so i have other sources too, NOT from Western Media or Israeli. Some Arabic other Indian and Iranian resources. I recommend that...

This one warned me that the Zionist Regime had placed a strong Censorship rule on publication of hits in Israel...:

I agree that Alexander is one of the best and reliable reporters on Geopolitics.

Some people feel he takes too much time, but i only mostly skip his reporting of the ground war in Ukraine, because i follow the Military Summary Chanel and some other resources (on maps) about that part (as does Alexander).

Right now, the Duran has some technical problems, so their posts are a little behind (as Alexander warned they would be). You will notice in A's video, he DOES say -- wait for Nasrallah's speech --which I referenced. Of course, it would have been better if he had acknowledge his sources more clearly --the Israelis feeding AFP, and the Western Media. We know that Israeli pronouncements cannot be trusted. You can be fast in reporting...reports...but you have to identify who they are and possible bias.--as well as track record. What Alexander should have said at the very outset is "The Israelis are claiming a massive pre-emptive strike on Hezbollah and thousands of missiles fired at Israel -- with no damage. They have offered no proof. Other reports say Hezbollah fired about 300 rockets and drones in a targeted attack on Israeli military targets.. Tjhere is a big discrepancy -- as usual -- between Israelli claims and other reports."
