Extended edition: Episode 5-8-23

Hello, my friends!

Thank you for being a support of The View from the Front.

Here’s the Monday update for paid subscribers (with a partial preview for free subscribers). This includes a brief round-up of news and some daily motivation.

If you just happened to stumble by, here’s what I’m doing with The View from the Front extended edition.

My name is Stan R. Mitchell and I’m a prior Marine, journalist, and man who loves this country with all of my heart. I also like to focus on covering our military and looming hot spots, while also trying to unite the country as best I can.

I truly do appreciate all my supporters and listeners, and The View from the Front extended edition is just a small way I want to add value and repay those who have signed up as paid subscribers. (And it also is another step forward toward the long-term dream and vision I currently have.)

I will also continue to do my weekly podcast each Thursday.

If you’d like to upgrade and go from free to paid, here’s the link:

But no pressure. I’ve already got a nice contingent of awesome, paying supporters.

In this edition, we cover:

• Russia launches 'biggest' kamikaze drone attack.

• The Wagner group is back to trying to seize Bakhmut after it apparently got the ammunition it needed.

• It appears Russia is evacuating some towns as the approaching Ukrainian offensive nears.

• Ukraine says its newly fielded U.S. Patriot system downed a Russian hypersonic missile.

• The United States and China held a series of high-level meetings this weekend. I’m not sure they went well. (Details below.)

• Arab League readmits Syria as relations with Assad normalize.

• And at the end of this edition, we’ll cover plenty of motivation and wisdom at the end.
