Together, we reflect on war trauma, the cost of dissent, and the third path that defies both propaganda and extremism. With heartbreaking personal stories and a deep sense of urgency, we challenge the false binaries of today's activism and offer a new moral clarity for those seeking peace—without appeasement. 🎧 This is not a conversation about sides. It's about survival, justice, and reclaiming the future from those who’ve stolen it.
