Timestamps:
Timestamp: 0:51. Two announcements/updates about the show.
Timestamp: 14:29. Haiti has gone from bad to worse. And the pull to insert American troops grows stronger by the day.
Timestamp: 21:01. The latest about Ukraine aid from the United States — and the necessity of it.
Timestamp: 36:22. Not all is bad in Ukraine. Here are two positive stories that have come out the past week. The first is Ukraine has hit two more oil refineries, deep inside Russia. And Russia appears powerless to stop the attacks.
Timestamp: 40:15. The second positive story is that Ukrainian forces continue to hang onto a bridgehead across the Dnipro River.
Timestamp: 46:54. Motivation and encouragement, just for you.
Timestamp 54:06. Some final words of unity and a few special words for those vets out there (and non-vets, too) who are struggling with PTSD or are just in a really low valley right now. I think it’s really important to discuss this topic in every single show since veterans are at 57% higher risk of suicide than their peers of the same age groups who haven't served. Please listen to this if you are struggling.
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 encouragement at the end of each episode.
Take a listen to the podcast. I really hope you get something out of it.
Selected source notes for podcast and transcript above.
U.S. news:
Ukraine news:

Never, ever give up segment links:
George Washington Crosses the Delaware
10 Facts about Washington's Crossing of the Delaware River
I always like to share a few from the Bible, because that book has become such a source of strength and wisdom and calm for me during the past year.
And, I always like to end each week’s notes with this one:
And with that, thanks for joining us this week on The View from the Front.
If you can, consider at some point becoming a paid subscriber.
That’s it for this edition.
Dealing with PTSD? Emotionally or mentally at rock bottom? Here’s the link that I mention in each podcast: Be like Ozzie; go near your master. (The power of prayer. Part 1.)
Love my moderate, optimistic view of politics and want to know more about how I see things?
Go here:
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.
Don’t forget: You can comment anytime — I try to monitor those. You can also reach out privately at: authorstanrmitchell@yahoo.com. (You can say “hi,” vent, or send news tips! I love all three of those things!)
Love and peace,
Stan R. Mitchell
P.S. Don’t forget to check out my books. I’ve written a CIA/Marine sniper series, a detective series, a private investigator series, an action-packed Western, a motivational self-help book about President Obama, and two realistic war novels: one about World War II and one about Afghanistan. You can find all of these books on Amazon.
