This oil painting The Fog of War hangs in the Officers’ Mess of the 1st Battalion, The Princess of Wales’s Royal Regiment. It is a striking reminder of the consistency of the chaos, confusion and sacrifice that exists in battle.
The problem with ongoing wars is the fog of war: how to see beyond the propaganda, disinformation, and fake news (as we in the West have suffered for four years from the MSM regarding the war in Ukraine)?
There is a very reliable source, which is also a joy to listen to because it’s audio-visual. I’m referring to the geopolitical analyst Alexander Mercouris (his episode from today can be seen here), and another YouTube channel, The Duran by Alex Christoforou, who interviews Mercouris daily (watch today’s interview here). The latter is the one I enjoy watching because the conversation is lively, unlike Mercouris’s drier monologues when he speaks alone on camera.
In general, The West’s Darkest Hour doesn’t focus on the news unless events occur that could potentially shatter the System, and as I mentioned the other day, one of the possible outcomes of the US-Israeli war against Iran could become music to our ears…
