Podcast Episode 9-28-23.

Welcome to The View from the Front. My name is Stan and this is the Sept 28th edition. 

Timestamp: 1:28. Reader mail! A reminder on the importance of family and time with them, as well as some reader feedback on the war in Ukraine.

Timestamp: 9:12. The latest on Ukraine’s counteroffensive. Real gains in two separate areas; and a whole host of problems for Russia to deal with.

Timestamp: 23:33. First U.S.-made M1 Abrams tanks arrive in Ukraine to join the fight.

Timestamp: 30:09. Russia loses an expensive aircraft, and probably a lot of troops, in crash in west Africa.

Timestamp: 34:04. The great debate about what to do about Turkey.

Timestamp: 43:28. The motivation and wisdom section.

If you just happened to stumble by, let me say a quick word about what we’re doing here.

For those who don’t know, my name is Stan R. Mitchell, and I’m a prior Marine and journalist.

Every week, I primarily do three things with my podcast:

* Cover emerging hotspots and foreign policy news that you absolutely should know. (Why I focus on foreign policy...)

* Work to unite our country and remind us of how lucky we are to live in America. (My thoughts on the division in this country...)

* And finally, I always share plenty of motivation and wisdom at the end of each episode.

Take a listen to the podcast above.

Or, you can find the podcast on your favorite channel below:

I really hope you get something out of it.

That’s it for this edition.

As a reminder, please be kind and try your best to love your fellow Americans.

So many men and women have sacrificed, fought, and died to keep this country together the past 240-plus years. Please work daily to unite our country again. The vast majority of Americans are decent, loving, great people.

Also, please try to be a better person each and every day. Try to be kinder on social media and how you interact with others with whom you disagree.

Please join me again in our next episode, and please stay safe until then.
