This is from Alexander Mercouris, whose analysis is posted above. It is his account of his insanity which led to his disbarment.
“The person however now had my personal details. Following her acquittal she pressed me for help with another case she wanted to bring. I told her of my depression, and tried to persuade her to look for help elsewhere. She found it impossible to find lawyers to help her, and insisted on coming to back to me.
“Now that I am able to think clearly I can see that her case was hopeless, and that this was the advice other lawyers were giving her. Had I been well I would have given her the same advice.
“At the time, because my will had been undermined my depression, and because my judgement had become clouded by the effect of the drugs, I could not do so. Nor was I able to insist that she leave me alone, or take action to ensure that she did so.
“Instead I fell back on fantasies, which by this point were becoming increasingly bizarre, and in which I increasingly involved her. What this involved was inventing increasingly fantastic scenarios, which I gave to this person in place of real advice or action. At one point I told her I had been kidnapped by the former Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales and that he had tried to bribe me.”
It really sounds like he was set up. But, he’s gone on to be very successful. Mental illness isn’t a death sentence it seems, many people overcome and go on to contribute.
The problem for you is that he and Alexander Christoforou are exposing the truth at a time the Ukrainians are desperate to hide it.
Also, what he says passes the sniff test more than what I hear from the ISW, CNN, NYT, WSJ, BBC, etc.
Still I would prefer it if I could find some news source that reported the failures and successes of both sides in the war. The closest I've come is Weeb Union who will report both Russian and Ukrainian successes, but despite this he does appear to be Russia-leaning. He bases his reporting on maps provided by Ukraine supporters so there is some balance there.
