Fog of war
The trouble with wars and conflicts is it impossible to tell who is telling the truth. Both sides in a conflict tend to invoke propaganda to show they are winning or have the upper hand.
Whatever a side says treat it with a degree of skepticism.

Public life
If you are in public life it must be hell.
Your every move is looked at, photographed and every little detail picked over.
Recently, with the release of the Epstein files, several people in public life have found themselves in the public eye. Some of the revelations are eye watering.

It is really a dump of my life in amateur radio and you might enjoy some of the projects. I have had lots of fun and wish you can enjoy it too.

Portable operation

Many get lots of pleasure from operating in the great outdoors.
In some countries the Elecraft KH1 is popular. As far as I know, this is not sold in Europe including the UK. It is also very expensive.
People have had great success on CW using just a small whip antenna on CW. I think it has a built-in auto ATU too. If you operate CW, it means you can be operational in a few seconds.
