Box breathing. Once the mind is clear, move on.
Sometimes, we can't change what happens around us, but it is always up to us what happens inside us.
Healing inside becomes the biggest act of defiance. If fear can't control you, no one can.

There was an ongoing civil war in Afghanistan before USA joined. Talibs had been d*ks to other tribes for about a decade already:

These 40 mike mikes have 75 ft. range, not designed for point-blank. Technically all less than lethal weapons have a minimum range.
Theoretically LEO would have training in when/how to use it correctly, and more importantly RoEs to reinforce its use within parameters...

Bottom-up initiatives require a critical mass of people capable in the subject.
Perhaps reach out to universities and try to build free courses that teachers can take and be certified in those subjects.

It would be nice to track the various damaged a/c and see if they get repaired or added to the cannibalization queue for spare parts to keep the rest of the fleet going.
Freq. use of Tu-160 will be a good indicator as well.

40 hit, not necessarily destroyed. Heard 10 likely destroyed.

The idea itself it is not bad. Easier to engage with videos than most media.
If they are going to use money on that, I just hope they do a similar construct as sponsored podcast: first part is public, second closed. Gives IC ready material to engage w/ public (i.e. info prior to Ukraine invasion).
