“It was interesting to here the concerns of military experts, especially the warnings of the path we seem to be on.
My concern is that misinformation, disinformation, etc is also being adopted internally as a way to silence and ignore legitimate concerns and questions. That wouldn’t really be anything new: conflicts between rulers and the ruled are as old as civilisation and, as history shows, rulers often grab hold of any convenient rhetorical argument, often using a threat of outsider incursion, to protect their position.
More care needs to be taken to differentiate between genuine unrest and questions which may be uncomfortable and external activity. To protect our democracy, we must ensure it works for all of its citizens. Though I suspect that won’t be listened to either and we will continually gift opportunities to those who dislike our way of life... so there we are (with the people of the past) reluctantly condemned to a path we can already see.
Holding on to hope that the remaining podcasts deal with these important contextual issues.
Update: Am almost at the end of Episode 4 and while it is clear there are shenanigans afoot, I find myself mainly concerned with how the conversation moves from disinformation to “misinterpretation” as if there is someone deciding what the correct interpretation of any given information is; I’m similarly uncomfortable with the idea that journalists should not report leaked information in the public interest just in case it should work to the advantage of an “adversary”. The argument, increasingly common from journalists, that interpretations must be controlled to ensure wrong think doesn’t lead to more wrong think feels like indoctrination though I’m sure that isn’t how it is intended, but it is, ironically, the very reason I (and I suspect many others) am moving away from news media.
The podcast is strongly representative of the times.”

“Music and background tones very irritating. Trying to glamourise it just makes it distracting. Great content but had to turn it off. Almost as if they’re trying to kill time and fluff content”

“This series of podcasts ‘the grey zone’ should be essential listening to all students, believers in the democratic process, our security personnel and most importantly, our politicians who once again sleepwalked the U.K. into this geopolitical nightmare a.k.a. ‘war by other means’.
