Thanks again Brian for a factual grounded report. I always now consult your channel as often as possible after I hear the latest development in the western media regarding this conflict. As a fellow US vet post 2000, who now seize the world very similarly, I really appreciate your points of view and I consider you a trustworthy source of information. You don't make your reports with any emotionality, not that I necessarily have a problem with that, but when you give an opinion or statement you clearly show where you're gathering that from. Anyone can research the links or the information that you base your conclusions on; none of this is simply pulled out of the sky and I think it's obvious that you are not intentionally making any of it up. As others have said it's so refreshing and I just wish that we had many more like you right now even if they differed in their viewpoints to myself. Simple fact-based news reporting is such a breath of fresh air on an age of clickbait, hot takes and entertainment-based "news" media.
It's clear that you have your own views and who you feel is the more respectable side of this affair and that is there's nothing wrong with that; everybody has the right to have their views on who they agree with when it comes to world events, that doesn't make your reporting illegitimate at a. You simply do everything that you can to prove that what you're saying is actually the truth, and as we know by now that is not done by even some very mainstream outlets. They're more than willing to falsify or misrepresent or "creatively" report on whatever happens to be going on in whichever way best serves their current agenda and audience.
I do not agree that you have an agenda; I do agree that you have convictions, as I'd like to think I do, but that you back them up with real world, verifiable information and I just want to thank you for that. You're not just someone giving their opinion, you are inviting everyone to do their own research and to see that what you're saying will most likely be shown to be a verifiable reality. It is just a shame that we can't get any oppositional viewpoints on any kind of televised MSM these days, not even a watered-down version. The only way a person can find oppositional viewpoints when it comes to world events in the West is to use the Internet or social media these days, and so that's what we do.

@jerronng6036 I can explain that actually. It wasn't a military loss it, was a deliberate walking away by US forces. I'm not defending what my government does, I don't support imperialism or the bullying or brutalization of ANY other country or region by my government or our security forces and we shouldn't have occupied Afghanistan unless we had genuine concern about helping them become self-sufficient.
However the Taliban are not good guys either, they are very fanatical, most are very violent, and they have an extreme problem with the female gender for whatever reason they should be nowhere near power or control of any region. they live in the Stone age and they want to make everyone else live in the Stone age too. It was good that we removed them in 2001 HOWEVER that should have been a relatively short-term operation, it certainly shouldn't have extended to 20 years, and whether we left with the client government in charge, or the Taliban, we did very little else to advance the general welfare in that country. But I can go into more detail about how the Taliban ended up back in power and how they were able to run the US client government out from Kabul last august. Basically are US forces were ordered to withdraw and they did, leaving only the other non-taliban Afghanistan security forces in place to fight against the Taliban and here's the problem. This is what I've been able to gather. The non-taliban forces were deliberately deprived of resources, weapons, and food by the US, whom they had come to rely on. The Taliban were likewise helped and supplied by my government in order to ensure that they would be able to take over again. My government also applied heavy pressure to Pakistan and Kabul to release 5,000 Taliban fighters including a very senior commander. Which they did, so basically they engineered the Taliban takeover. This happened under Trump and it was basically the brainchild of a man called Mike Pompeo who was the ex-head of the CIA. So essentially what the US CIA did in 2014 with the Azovs in Ukraine, they did almost the exact same thing for the Taliban in Afghanistan between 2019 and last year 2021. What the world saw in the deplorable and disgraceful exit of our forces from the region and the corresponding panic that that caused many local residents was just the tail end of an operation that began somewhere back in either late 2018 or into 2019.
Our domestic MSM here barely covered that whole sequence of events from this point of view. I am not certain what agenda it serves to have the Taliban back in charge but it's obviously not a positive one. but if you do a little digging you will most certainly find that this is exactly what happened and it happened at the behest of Mike Pompeo ex-boss of the US CIA. I am glad for the most part that we are out of Afghanistan however if it comes up the cost of putting the Taliban back in charge I feel that cost is too high. And I believe that the majority of other Afghans would agree. However I also understand that many US affiliated persons committed deplorable acts while we were there and they have every reason to hate us. And finally to top it all off, the drone strikes which I don't know if they're still continuing or not are never acceptable and our crime against humanity and should be banned under the Geneva convention. We're not for the constant drone strikes we may have been able to engender better goodwill amongst the local population. But the fact that my government chooses to use DRONES for anything and EVERYTHING, committing mass murder in the name of fighting terror, when what they're really doing is CAUSING terror to defenseless non-combatant human beings and local defenders, is something that will ALWAYS make me sick until it stops. I say this as an ex-Navy person myself.

This is a very excellent question, one that I've asked myself many times, and I'm one who lives here in the US.
In my view the way I see it is, these people are just extremely mentally ill, and unfortunately our entire MSM media machine goes right along with it. It's really unfortunate. Clearly what these people want is ongoing destruction and violence. The reasons why don't really matter- I understand the reasons, it's as others here have said- they want to feel like they own the world, like they rule the world, that they are the economic masters of the universe; and so on. since they don't value any human life besides their own, they're willing to sacrifice hundreds of millions of other lives and untold amounts of infrastructure damage in order for them to believe they are achieving this goal, with coup after coup and war after war. That should be condemned.
I look forward to an overthrowing or at least a fundamental changing of my govt in my lifetime, by any means necessary. If and when it happens, I intend to be a part of it.
When it comes to land outside our borders, all they do is destroy. This should not be preserved, these should not be our long-term goals. These people are wholly illegitimate in my eyes and I just see them as a bunch of out-of-control gangsters, with a thirst for blood, answering to no one; nothing more.
The direction of civilization should be MORE peace, LESS violence, MORE cooperation, and more stability; not the opposite. The current regime is in direct opposition to that and has been since at least the close of WW2, altho imperialism within this part of the world by the US had been going on for many decades before that.
We can have a more peaceful, stable, cooperative, and rational world order if we choose to, or we can have the opposite. I believe most governments, even if they are highly corrupt, want the former. I believe it is MY govt and mine alone that is THE most dangerous threat to ongoing, unnecessary violence and destructive activities the world over.
Those of us who live here and are aware and can see what is happening want this to stop. We want A-bombs to drop on Langley, Virginia, the home of the CIA (just the buildings, not the rest of the area of course). There is no legitimate reason why the entire globe cannot cooperate economically for mutual benefit of all. The only question is, is that going to happen prior to another world war, and will a major war be averted, or only after it??? If those who are currently setting the agenda in the US State Dept agenda get their way, it will only be after, because by then I predict they will be out of power, and rational sane people with a peace agenda will have taken over for the first time since at least 1963.
I hope it doesn't take another world war to get us there, but it very well may.

@theprinceofcrows8691 yes.
Of course. You certainly don't have to convince me. I'm as much a critic of this gov as anyone. I find most if not all of what they do inexcusable and reprehensible.
I think you're likely right about Afg. I wouldn't be surprised if an attitude such as that factored into the decision of the planners in 2001 and possibly since. Most of us here who follow world issues are now fully well aware that Bush and his flunkies were just waiting for an excuse to come along to invade Iraq, long before 9/11, whether that included Afghanistan as well I'm not sure.
Regardless of the exact specifics, we can all be 100% certain that it boils down to the following: the endless desire for more profits by the military supply sector who work hand in hand with the White House and the State Department, and one or more strategic goals that boils down to "what other poor middle east country can we exploit for either natural resources or its location, while pretending to fight either totally invented or greatly overblown and exaggerated threats to "national security"?
Shame. 2T down the drain what do we have to show for? How are the Afghans lives better than when we first got there? They sure aren't now- now that we helped the Taliban take back over. I mean you couldn't write this shit. It's it's really, really hard for a normal person with a semi-decent set of ethics to try to wrap their head around it. I guess when you're so high up, when there's nobody above you, you just start seeing the entire globe as your chessboard, your playpen, everything- its just a game and it's never going to touch you, you're never going to bleed, so why shouldn't you see it as a game??? I imagine, whether they want to admit it or not, that's exactly how they see it. Some kind of game to see who wins in the end, and nobody else besides you and your big-shot buddies matter.
That's their mentality, you know? I'm pretty sure that's exactly their mentality.

Clearly from the Ukrainian side there appears to be much psychopathy and lust for blood. The gratuitous violence of the Azovs and their collaborators were on full display the night of the coup in 2014 and has caused 14,000 deaths in the Eastern regions since that date. I have heard these estimates from multiple alternative sources by now.
Given what I believe are the facts, I would be much more likely to suspect the Ukrainians were responsible for both of these incidents, this and Bucha; then the RF military. It's not out of the question that any military could commit war crimes, but I have yet to hear a report that I consider credible that would lead me to suspect that the RF were the ones responsible for either of these incidents. If I do, I will adjust my views at that time, but it hasn't happened yet.
Knowing all of the US-aligned Western MSM is against them, I'm not sure what Russian military forces would have to gain by this, if they were to do it. Also, I think it's significant they called immediately for a full investigation into the allegations over Bucha, and were so far brushed off by the UK on the UNs behalf. It sure doesn't seem like Russia is the one with anything to hide here.

Sounds like the RF decision-makers are doing everything in their power to prevent loss of life especially civilian loss of life and to end this conflict without any further bloodshed or property damage. Zielinski should wise up. It is obvious no Western power is going to come to his aid, certainly not the US, so what does he have to gain by putting out an order for any of his ground forces to continue? He's either being real stupid or naive, I don't know which. They're not going to be able to win this conflict, that should have been obvious before it even started. And if it wasn't then, it sure is heck should be now. Looks like Putin has effectively proved his point so far. And all they wanted was simple neutrality and meeting them halfway on his security concerns; that's all Zielinsky had to do from the beginning. But instead he would rather be the tool of the West, well mainly just the US, cuz I don't think the EU was trying to provoke this the way the US did. I would hope they have better things to do.
The US's agenda was always to go after Russia. And of course they're more than happy to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian. our state department sure does love at some proxy wars.
At this point if Zelensky has any brains at all he will cut his losses and agree to end the conflict and sit down at the negotiating table with Putin, which is what Putin asked him months and months ago. But I've also heard that Zelinsky is just a figurehead at this point, and that the actual military orders are coming from the Azovs and other Nazi-like elements within the military structure and elsewhere in his government, and that they're the ones who are setting the agenda and basically telling Zelinsky what to do and say. I've even heard that he's been threatened that if he gives one inch to Russia they will basically assassinate him, tho I don't know if it's true or not.
Bottom line, if the Azovs want to sacrifice themselves in a fruitless continuation of this conflict with the RF, they can do so, but they have no right to trap others inside with them whether they be other Ukrainian non-nazi average military soldiers or any of the local civilians. Guess they were foolish enough to think that their puppet president in Kiev was going to somehow be able to get NATO forces to come to their aid, not realizing that the rest of Europe has no intention of being drawn into this regional conflict and that the US is only using their fanaticism and brutality and their penchant for violence as a useful pawn as part of a much larger strategy of continuing aggressive provocational moves against Russia. In short, the US was just using them, as they use everybody, and they're foolish to count on it. And now knowing that they have a decision to make- fight to the death or try to come out of this alive. Guess the choice is up to them.

It seems so obvious now that the Azovs and other similar groups are totally, totally the commanding force; the main nfluencing force; and the controlling force within the Ukrainian military now. Nobody wants to see any non-combatants aka civilians on either side be harmed, but for anyone to imply that we should feel sympathy for these unabashed ultra Nazi supporters is just a sad state of affairs- and shame on the Western MSM to consistently try to bury this rather important fact as they are and continue to do.
I don't care which country it's from- if a nation's military has been taken over or has become essentially a modern-day Nazi detachment, I support any country who goes against them. We cannot allow something like this to continue to fester and grow in the modern world. These people do great violence and they are stuck on an ideology of hate and misplaced fanaticism, and it is the duty of any decent organization and leadership to oppose such groups and to support any who would take up arms against them. If we could de-radicalize them without violence then by all means we should do so, but clearly in this particular case that seems impossible. It seems way too late for that at this point and now, whether or not we can deprogram any particular Azov soldier, at a minimum we need to bring their reign of tyranny and violence to an end, and for that reason alone but also in addition to others I support Russia in its current venture.
Again I respect any persons right to feel pride in their country but what these guys are doing is clearly far more than that. They claim white and national supremacy and use that as an excuse for ethnic cleansing within their own borders (not to mention all the violence during the night of the coup in 2014). Anywhere else they would be considered a domestic terrorist cell out of control.
They have the right to feel pride of country, even superiority if they want, but NOT to leap to mass murder, heavy violence, or sustained attacks on local military and civilians.
That alone justifies anyone's interference as far as I'm concerned. Should they be allowed to continue another 20 years without any attempts to stop them? Clearly something had to be done, and in addition to the ongoing NATO problem, Moscow chose to act, and I can't blame them for that. I doubt this action was taken lightly.
Life is a constant battle of choosing when to act and when not to act. These interlocking situations clearly fall within the justification for action in my mind, and I would think other reasonable people would agree.

@jeffsartadventure3634 Because people were left high and dry. I live in the US too man. you know how bogus everybody in public office is here. You think they give a s*** about us ordinary nobodies? Of course not. And that goes equally for both parties. The Dems are a little bit better and if it were up to the GOP filth we wouldn't have got a dime, but they also serve the big money and the rest of us don't matter to them. The reason why the lockdowns caused problems here is because our covid relief was deplorable and insufficient, there was basically no relief coming over the hill for people who were put out of business or lost their job because of covid, they were left to swing in the breeze, meanwhile the top 2%, the big corporate sector, got billions in handouts from our federales up in DC. You do understand that don't you? Our govt didn't provide any material and financial support during this process. Anyone who lost their livelihood or business was left to twist in the breeze. Yes there was an eviction moratorium for a while, but those of all been lifted and they were pretty porous even while they were in place. Hundreds of thousands if not millions were unjustly evicted before during and after the moratorium, and it's still going on now even though the news isn't covering it anymore. Of course a lockdown is going to cause harm to people if proper protections aren't put into place by the local state or federal government so that people can be on lockdown. you can't rightly lock people down and then blame those very same people for losing their jobs due to covid and then allow their landlord to evict them which is exactly what has happened all over the United States and it still happening right now. The people in our government local, state, and federal are the most morally bankrupt self-serving trash that could scam people into voting for them. They do NOT care about the bottom 90% and in some cases they don't care about the bottom 99%. They serve the elite and they sell themselves CONSTANTLY.
They are 100% for hire to the highest bidder; I mean our government is FOR SALE. They call it lobbying and campaign donations, but what it really is is bribes and GRAFT and dark money and not so dark money. That's just how it works here.
This is a banana republic we live in in case you didn't know.
What little covid relief and eviction pauses were provided were significantly inadequate to meet the need. that's what brought the harm from the so-called lockdowns we never really even had a true lockdown anyway I mean nobody was stopped from leaving their domicile it was just recommended that people remain at home as much as possible during covid of 2020 and the first half of 2021.

As a 9/11-era veteran and a US citizen, it is now obvious to me drone strikes are a great evil and do NOTHING to promote peace either for us or anywhere in the world. They should be fully banned for air-to-ground use, along with chemical weapons and land mines, under international law.
All my govt and the Pentagon stands for is mass murder and deliberate savagery for any reason, and an incredible scale of destruction to already impoverished or undeveloped countries.
I wouldn't cry for genuine ISIS deaths or other committed terrorists, but as it has now been proven, drones rarely if EVER remove those types of individuals and when and if they do, it's ALWAYS along with some amount of innocent civilians or non-combatants. As the revelations prove and this recent incident is just more perfect proof of, drones almost exclusively kill innocent people including children. That isn't the kind of battle I ever signed up to fight.
Just because we have the technology doesn't mean we have the right to commit egregious mass murder overseas in poor parts of the world to people who might look different than us. Those govts NEVER declared war on us and never took up arms against us. My govts foreign policies are evil, and I will proudly stand against them FOREVER, unless they radically change.

@aranos6269 Indeed. They are shameless. Wanna know how much the US Congress just approved for Ukraine (as if this will change the eventual outcome- which I doubt, it may give a little edge to a few battles but overall at this point I have every certainty that Russia will choose to wrap up this conflict in whichever way they choose. I don't know the raw numbers of Ukraine's forces but I'm sure Russia has them outnumbered, out-trained, out-organized, outplanned and better equipped. That is what I see. Plus they have right on their side. They're not trying to take over the country or commit its own coup, they're saving the besieged people of the eastern regions and striking against the violent neo-nazis that have taken over the govt and military, while defending it's border from known planned future aggressions by NATO. Sounds upstanding and reasonable to me)????
40 Billion, bringing the grand total so far to 57B. as to how much of this money is going to filter down and actually be felt or used on the ground and Ukraine, nobody knows. But like you said got to keep that river of blood money and war profits going to the weapons makers and anyone else who stands to profit from this deal.
Would be nice if our national Congress wasn't wholly owned and operated by Wall Street and the pentagon. We sure could use just a little bit of that money right here at home. On the streets of the US of A. Flint, Michigan still doesn't have clean water after 7 years. This is supposed to be a first world country- is it? Not everywhere it sure ain't. Homelessness at an all-time high. National healthcare?? Not even close. (Obamacare helps a little but it leaves too many households uncovered)
There are a lot of people here that need a lot of help. And there are some that don't- but of those who do, it is REALLY sad that most state governments and most certainly our federal Congress gives them the giant middle finger year after year.
I'm not against people making money or having a successful business (provided it's an ethical business). I AM against THIS level of poverty and THIS level of neglect in the richest country in the goddamned world. It's morally reprehensible, it's not necessary, and it's wrong.

I know the Pentagon is nothing but shit, by why shouldn't people get their own sovereign region if they choose?????
There is a real gross amount of statism and lord-worship on this channel. A REAL LOT. Yes I know just how immoral the Pentagon is BELIEVE ME. I live here, I know. I stopped drinking the kool-aid a long time ago. I know those sociopaths for who they are.
BUT, SAYING THIS PARTICULAR GROUP DOESN'T DESERVE THEIR OWN NATION SOUNDS LIKE BULLSHIT. I never support mindless violence or acts of terrorism, and whoever did those should be caught and arrested. But if millions of ethnic turkic Muslims (or what have you) want their own nation, why shouldn't they have it???? China is big, yes?!?? Pretty fucking huge? If there's been a legitimate movement for East Turkestan than why shouldn't it come to fruition??? Because the Sino lords on high wont like it???? Because they don't have enough territory right??? With land that's there times the size of the US or so?? Right.
I CAN'T GET BEHIND THIS STATISM WORSHIP. You guys can suck Winnie the Pooh's dick all by yourselves. I appreciate the info on most things covered here, bec the Pentagon really is a murderous, evil organization- but I support anyone's right to self-determination. ANYONE'S. Not sure why you act like these people (the ones who refute the terrorist violence) should just passively accept their current status.
I wouldn't, if I felt that strongly about it.
BORDERS CHANGE. THATS FUCKING LIFE. The only thing constant in life is change. You think the borders looked the same 200 years ago??? No ofc not and they won't look the same 200 years from now.
If they legitimately want this, China's gov should step aside and work with them on this to make a smooth and mutually beneficial transition.

Didn't know the Russian forces were so capable. No idea, at all!! Six years ago I still was buying the standard US MSM narrative of Syria. Now I believe a different narrative.
Well, it makes me sad to say but yet again MY govt has brought nothing but pain, death, and life-threatening disorder to a region, this time in Afghanistan. If this conflict on Ukraine can be resolved soon, and I think we all can be united in hoping that it does, and that Zelensky makes the right decision; Putin can go back into Afganistan and straight up save them by restoring order, ending the famine, and routing the Talibs once and for ALL. Without outside interference, I am deeply afraid conditions will only worsen there. Even tho this ongoing theater has dominated the news lately I still get occasional emails or notices about conditions there and it just breaks my heart.
I don't think he will, but if they could, that would be so beautiful, not to mention ironic. Thirty years after being driven out by outrageous and misguided US interference that boosted the WORST wackjob elements of the fringe fundamentalist fanatics, Russia returns to liberate its neighbor and partner AGAIN. History repeats itself. (Altho in the '80s the talipunks didn't have power yet, at least in the cities)
I mean, when you look at it, Putin is Afganistan's only hope right now. Between the savagery and cruelty of the US, esp in detaining it's 9B in funds, even though 20M Afghans DESPERATELY need that money to avert starvation; and the stone-age fanaticism of the Taliban, Afganistan has never been in more desperate need.
Putin has his hands full right now but honestly, ever since I saw the Talibs take over last year (and learned why that happened, it was WITH the full support and help of the US under the Trump administration, and I don't know why they did it, tho I have a theory), I've been racking my brain trying to see a way out of this for them. ONLY the strength of resolve of Russia's troops could liberate them now and reinstall a competent government and help them recover from what Biden is allowing to transpire there- nobody else is able or willing to at this point.
Man.......
If only.

But how many other 100s or 1000s of attacks have been accomplished far out of public view???? As if this show of faux contrition and crocodile tears is all that's needed after 10 people incl 7 children were killed on knowingly empty information. The fact that at least two people were willing to give the order and press the button on this drop based on such laughably bad information, is something I find extremely disturbing. And of course, nothing will be done to either individual or chain of command that enabled this process and carried it out like so many before it; and most of not all of those, I'm willing to wager, having been done so on similarly appallingly poor or flat out absent "intelligence".
Like land mines and chemical warfare, drones are immoral and evil. At least if indiscriminate targeting and utter disregard of non-combatant/civilian life is going to be the goal, and it has been for 20 years; then at least make a human being fly the planes that drop those bombs!!!! How much more evil can we get?! So this is what we've become??? Just fire all the servicemen and women then, since they are no longer needed anymore as the new policy is literally video game warfare towards places that have NO defense against it.
Anyhow, I'm a non-combat role US veteran and I'll NEVER fight or work for for this military empire again thru any military or civilian role. Why???? Are we saving the world???? Are we taking out the genuine bad guys??? That's what I used to believe but not anymore. I no longer can morally support in any way a military and "defense" machine that so willfully disregards the lives of civilians and ignores, either intentionally or unintentionally, the actual dangerous terrorists and threats.
I'm all for going after genuine bad actors and there are some of those, and I want to remove them, because somebody needs to; but not like this. This is amoral, and vile, and it's happened 1000 times before, and it's evil. I do not see a morally-acceptable use or role for drones in modern warfare- perhaps in incredibly limited scenarios but in general I want to see them banned. I believe it's been proven 100 times over why they should be. No more US-caused remote terror from the skies to innocent communities!!! I want this to end and I'm not the only one, many other US citizens stand with me, both in the veteran and non-vet civilian community.

It never ceases to amaze me how much Washington loves death. I really don't understand this. They don't want to make positive partnerships; they don't seem to have any capability for any moral thoughts; any type of positive or ethical value system or even fleeting positive goal. Everything has to be destructive and result in harm to innocent people, the poorer the better.
They just seem to want to position themselves in a place that will bring maximum death to as many non-combatants as possible the world over.
They really do have nothing positive to offer anyone. They seem to be enemies to life and most of the world.
It's too bad. I don't know why they're obsessed with violence so much or why they love death so much. As a citizen I'll be glad if and when they're ever gone. They always find ways to treat plenty of my fellow citizens with as much disregard to life and rights as they do their foreign targets. And to this day they are very proud that they have nothing but abuse and neglect for 99% of the American people. (Yes there is a smattering of a few support programs but a very few and the support they provide is very weak for most). There is still no legally-recognized right to healthcare in this country or even to have the ballot, let alone other things. 2025. Still no right. Incredible.
Apparently there was a vote at the UN a while back to recognize a right to food as an inherent human right of all people and the only country to vote against it was a representative from this country, the US. Maybe one or two others, I don't remember for sure.
So that's who they are. Plus they really love localized genocide.
Truly we are occupied by savages and demons. What a shame. The sooner a nuke takes out 1600 Pennsylvania Ave the better off the world will be. What they love is death and they find many ways to get there.
Unless someone thinks this is a good status quo, and I would hope most wouldn't, I wholeheartedly support the neutralization of DC as a worldwide threat. Let's hope by 2100 it's real.
I mean thanks to our savages, the Taliban took back over in Afghanistan thanks to a special deal brokered under the first Trump administration, crafted by Mike Pompeo and some random Taliban reps. How's that going for that region today? I'm sure the female half of the population is doing fabulous under these new arrangements. I presume that the price of this assistance was free access for any big multinational to any natural resource they might have found, specifically minerals. There were some rumors of this at the time. I'm sure it's true.
I mean it's stunning sometimes when I step back and just take a full look. I'm well aware of all the details of our domestic and international history. They really do have ZERO positive goals for anyone in the world, or the majority of I and my fellow citizens even. Just wild.
I'm sure I won't live to see it but I'll be glad when DC no longer matters. Unless one thinks the world is way too overpopulated, and some do, why support an empire based on so much death and violence?? These agendas aren't helping anyone.
The whole legacy of Washington is nothing but blood. I'm pretty sure the entire sane world is tired of it, I know I am.
