A bit of an impressive tour de force here, Eric. Thank you very much for it. A valuable addition to the armoury. Almost any of the common objections and accusation I encounter from the 'other side' in regard to this conflict can be refuted or countered by material from this I think.

And that's pretty wonderful.

I is an excellent piece for me to pass around and I will.

Thanks again. Impressive journalism/scholarship/sheer hard work/devotion..... :)

Thanks so much! (This article turns out to get even less attention from the public than my other ones do. However, I consider it to be one of the best that I have ever done. So, your comment, which is the only reader-comment yet to it anywhere, is greatly appreciated.)

Sad fact is our message/s are not getting out to the people, Eric, isn't it?

We are in a tiny corner of the web - 'alt-media' we are part of aren't we?

And we talk to each other. Preach to the converted.

I have written various govt. people in Russia from a list of addresses I was given by a correspondent and suggested to them that they put up a 'mega simple on the surface' site that we can promulgate.

Meaning a site that has landing pages that offer eye and attention grabbing memes, slogans, catch phrases, whatever...

And then beneath that via links embedded can be and should be all the depth all the corroboration, all the justification, the evidences, the histories etc.

Got nothing at all back as yet.

What I mean is that your readership is not wide enough, Eric. The whole readership of these questions is not wide enough.

Our side of the story needs popularising and I guess it is happening but so slowly..

Hope for the best... encourage your readers to distribut your texts, encourage them to at least do the same 'least' that I did on 'ukrainehonesty.com'. That sort of thing.

I try to help, I post links to you on FB and in comments sections and such - but my readership is, of course, virtually nil... so I don't help much, sorry to say.

But the world and the masses is a fickle place and can turn on a dime. Tomorrow the idea of consulting such as Eric could go viral.

And if it did we wouldn't have a central place to point to where all the 'Erics' are listed and links to their sites.

I guess that's something I could 'at least' get busy with and stick on my site. I will.

You are doing good. And it is not ephemeral, is the thing. All those 'analyses' and 'discussion' etc are ephemeral. They'll sink without trace. Never be referred to again.

But I consider screeds such as you have just put up there will remain a valuable screed for decades to come, to be linked back to. You're building a lasting structure, I think. That's how I see it. :)
