Thanks for your important historical essay that at least helps me keep some perspective. In addition, it seems to me that this “information war” involving Putin’s war [Note I don’t mean the “information war” involving FOX and corporate media etc which is still in full force]…….is changing and I’m getting the feeling that the only “end game” is that Russia will have to eventually go!
A new factor is that Kamala Harris just recently accused Russia of “crimes against humanity” which is an accusation that is not used very often, which also seems to mean that this is a fight until the Russians are GONE with no diplomatic end game!
Also, at the Security Conference Sec of State Antony Blinken said the Chinese are ready to give equipment and arms to the Russians to use in Ukraine……….and also the Chinese balloon was not a weather balloon, it was an “espionage” balloon which worsened matters further!
And finally I’ve been reading about that Russian “Wagner” paramilitary mercenary group that is controlled by Yevgeny Prigozhin is going down down downhill as it has no significant recruitment sources any longer! This seemed to be an important group for Russia. Wagner is not ideologically based but they do have connections to neo-Nazis and other extremists and they have been involved in Africa and Ukraine.
So there now seem to be more significant and increasing disruptions to Russia’s past information war activities anyway I’m thinking…….
It does appear Putin’s goose may be cooked … Prigozhin has to go too … if Kamala is signaling then I hope it means the Russian propagandists get their day in The Hague as well. The reason Musk is all in on Twitter is he is part of the Kremlin simping oligarchs who are united by white supremacy and corrupt cash … I just hope we have the ability to round them all up … the network is vast … my other concern is Putin’s replacement … the Russian people are a long suffering lot
I couldn't understand why the British voted for Brexit. It seemed so contrary. Now they are suffering because of it. I wonder is they realized what they did. Putin is a World Menace.

Another incisive, beautifully written piece. Thanks, Heidi, for helping open our eyes and keeping us continuously informed.
This means a great deal to me thank you
