As I have been learning the craft of writing I have come to appreciate not only the research behind your written publications but also your skill as a writier.

This short video piece is great. More please. I've on little criticism and that is the zoom jump sequence. I understand you are emphasizing a point and re-engaging the viewer with the frame jumps. It looks a little "over produced" from my perspective. But, that's a minor quibble.

Well done, Mr. Cook.

Totally agree.

But of course now that Saudi has negotiated peace with Iran, Yemen could be resolved, Syria is now back in the Arab league and pretty much all ME except Israel wants to be in SCO and BRICS, everything changes. Meanwhile the US, impotent in Afghanistan looks embarrassingly naked in Ukraine. Being the besties with US has destroyed many, not least the Kurds and Ukrainians.

Israel looks desperate - little wonder it feels the need to clamp down on any local resistance.

Maybe 10 years left as an Apartheid state?

Could you advise on which news channel to follow?

You should strive to develop a critical POV on most things, and always try to corroborate the basic facts of the story from at least 2 unrelated sources, while discarding superfluous opinions. For some this might be a miserable existence. But if your core value is Truth, it is worth it. If you want happiness, better to stay blind to some of the facts about humans and the world.
