Fwd: Nightmare

[Mark Kohut]

Martin appeared at a local--but zoom international--group in my town, per
the invitation
I sent y'all. Some from DC and Chicago attended. Had I more time, I would
have had
hundreds.

His adult lifetime's marrow-deep understanding of Ukraine and Russia and
fingertip embedded factual feeling for the war horror and its reasons
edified all.
The responses I've gotten......

Anyway, the event was recorded with ful permission from all who attended
and anyone
who wants a copy, just ask.

Here is just one Thanks from a woman who was away but wanted me to record
it:
"Hi Mark,

I just watched the recording of Martin Dietze talk with Fred’s group. I
can’t thank you enough for arranging and recording it. It was truly
remarkable in how informative and insightful Martin was and how
well-reasoned and heart-felt his opinions are. I now have a much more
nuanced and realistic understanding of the conflict.

A sad time for humanity."

I am holding a rally in my town Sunday.
