According to this piece the Storm Shadow missiles have just been agreed upon... and Prigozhin's march towards Moscow and eventual exile to Belarus didn't happen... this seems to be a seriously outdated video.

That time you worked hard to make a really good video that was obsolete the minute it hit the feed.

[Harabeck]

You seriously put this out without updating it to mention the Wagner coup?! The whole first half is nonsense now.

Saw some of this on Tiktok. Great stuff.

The term "agent" is misused when the correct terminology should be "case officer, " "field intelligence officer, " or simply "officer." Additionally, there are other types of CIA officers, such as targeting officers, who help the CIA determine on which targets to focus its efforts as situations change. A case officer is a CIA employee responsible for recruiting and managing foreign citizens, while an "agent" refers to a foreigner who supplies information to an intelligence organization. On the other hand, "spy" is a politically charged term used to describe a wrongdoer who must be stopped

You may feel that you need corroboration of what I say. According to former CIA case officer Lindsay Moran, the use of the term "agent" to refer to case officers is a common mistake made by authors and the media. In her memoir "Blowing My Cover: My Life as a CIA Spy, " Moran explains that case officers are not agents themselves, but rather they recruit and handle agents. Similarly, former CIA officer Melissa Mahle notes in her book "Denial and Deception: An Insider's View of the CIA from Iran-Contra to 9/11" that the term "agent" is often misused in popular culture. Mahle explains that while case officers may be referred to as agents in movies and TV shows, this is not accurate terminology. The CIA's own website distinguishes between case officers and agents, stating that "case officers are trained professionals who recruit and handle foreign intelligence agents, " while "agents are individuals who provide information to foreign intelligence services."

For further confirmation, refer to the nonfiction book by Ronald Kessler or the 1997 computer game "Spycraft: The Great Game" published by Activision. In this game, the player character is known as Case Officer Thorn, not Agent Thorn. Notably, William Colby and Colonel Oleg Kalugin served as consultants for the game.

Here are some additional facts that might be helpful. Non-professionals commonly refer to the organization as "the CIA, " while professionals simply call it "CIA" without using "the." Furthermore, professionals do not use the term "Langley" to refer to CIA Headquarters, even though it is located in the Langley neighborhood of McLean, Virginia. Instead, they use "HQS, " which stands for Headquarters Station. Of course, in writing this message, I have to consider that you may become annoyed with me, or that you might be choosing terminology you know is technically incorrect -- hoping that way, the average reader will understand.

I mean; this's great as an opportunity for any country's espionage department, or for average citizens of other countries, to get a feel for what's going on, and it *appears* as though the Russian forces are falling apart.

When the story begins with "If you've been watching the news recently..." This is the moment when you can stop watching...

Social media wars inside the Russian military: anybody else see discipline problems here? Because I sure do; and I'm not that familiar with official military protocols of solving problems... this's fun to observe, for someone who doesn't believe that their state should remain in power, nor should their "allies" including Red China.
And that's *primarily* focused on the rights of the citizens, and thus of the states in question, to progress in terms of development. In short, these dictators are the worst enemies of their own people; so the sooner they lose all power they could ever have, and free elected republics result: the better for all involved in any way at all.

Russia expected it's "special military operation" to be lightning fast. Within weeks, it thought, Ukraine would be back in Russia's orbit. President Putin had seriously underestimated Ukraine's capacity to resist and fight back, as well as the determination of Western nations to support Kyiv. So, Why did Russia's president set a course for war and territorial conquest?
On the horizon were the Russian presidential elections of 2024.

„Will Halls prediction come true?“ Has there been any prediction?
I only recognized several alternatives and considerations.

Nothing new and way out of date... talks a ton about Prighozin but all before his mutiny. Similarly as nothing about the now month-old counteroffensive. I guess if you copy content from other channels, it makes sense that your material is out of date...

[toddclean]

Your Storm Shadow comments are long out of date. Did you write this script months ago?

[robkarnis]

Great update on the situation, too bad YouTube flooded it with enough adverts that it drove me off before finishing ...

[ellenmarch]

Great insights, but it's like nails on a chalkboard every time he says "Prig-i-zin". It's Pre-GOH-zHin. (LeviosAH...😂)

[minimaxmiaandme.]

I think the answer to your question is pretty obvious. Slava Ukraini! 🇨🇦

[willkerslake]

Absolutely mental! In the middle of a war, these two jokers, Prigozhin and Shoeglue, decide to have their own private little feud... unbelievable!

[DeLaCruzer]

How long was this video created because some parts od ut is talking in future tense?

[tylercuperus]

Almost word for word copy’s an infographics episode 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

[gijsv]

I did not hear any news, and missed a lot of background. For instance what are countries like Kazakhstan doing ?
What is Turkey doing ? Sweden is joining the Nato.

[JK-pdjf]

For balance compare this with Douglas Macgregor, Scott Ritter, etc.
