    RUclipsrs need to normalize taking time off. So many creators grind every day and never take time off, but it's horrible for their mental health. I can't imagine never taking vacation from my work. I need a two week break at least once or twice per year, and few shorter ones too. Most important thing, Professor, is your health and happiness, so take care of yourself and don't feel ashamed to slow things down when you need to. We don't want you to get burned out!

    Personally I think flash backs are a great idea. Not only do they give perspective to the bigger picture but also allows us some time to contemplate the journey Ukraine and in some ways the western world has undertaken to get us to where we are today. Take care professor this war is a mental minefield for those like your good self who immerse themselves so deeply into the information sphere to provide us viewers with a condensed yet concise analysis of the daily situation. Thank you.

    Thanks Professor. Responding to your request for feedback on the flashbacks; It's interesting to see the "deja vu all over again" facets, however, I don't think I gained additional perspective by watching them. Your videos made a strong impression on me on the first view so I readily recall the details from those presented 1+ years back. I tune in mainly for your fresh perspectives on the relevent issues of the day.
    I am quite concerned about your need for a short break and don't want to see you burn out. By all means, take the time you need to refresh and recharge. Georgi traveled and did a session from a little coffee shop on the street in Germany. It was priceless!

Quite frankly, we follow you, because we see your heart in this and we don’t need to second-guess your integrity. Your opinion is both humble and well-considered, which is why we trust your sources and like listening to what you have to say. So follow your gut with our blessing and support, Professor, and do what you need to make the work that you do sustainable.

    Take a break! After a year-and-a-half in Vietnam, I felt a rush of exhaustion, too. I needed some time -- even as a young guy -- to rebalance and set new goals for myself. I remember that I even had a different smell about me (not foul or annoying, just different) that took about six months to disappear. I readjusted quickly -- and six weeks later I was busy in college. But after a year-and-a-half of tenseness and dealing with everything on a mission-to-mission basis, I really enjoyed letting go and relaxing for some weeks to recharge my batteries!

    I prefer the 3 minute time limit. That makes sure I don't miss anything but doesn't repeat other RUclipsrs who may go more in depth as a military, political, or financial specialty.
    Research can always go into the description or a pinned comment. I prefer that because it means I can fit it into my schedule. I don't like to pause to come back to videos because I lose the cohesion.
    Flashbacks: I wouldn't limit myself to a year ago. I think people have forgotten the shock of the full-scale invasion. Women and children fleeing the shelling, walking miles to the border in snow and freezing rain, etc. Men and women, grandfathers and grandmothers, signing up, practicing with wooden rifles, citizens making molitov cocktails, Russian advances throughout the south, etc.
    Ukraine didn't even get Western artillery for months; it was using its Soviet era equipment.

But that wasn't enough. I was also a father of two and a husband trying to make the most of the limited time we had together as a family. I suddenly found myself standing in the middle of a supermarket with tears pouring out of my eyes. I turned around and went straight home and asked my wife to call the company. Take care of yourself before it gets worse.
