The Eastern Border
Lines on maps that we didn’t even know about
•
In today’s episode I am joined by our friend Michael (who claims to actually be Prigozhin) from The Red Line podcast. He, together with his team has worked hard to map out the militaries of Central Asia. Turns out, that we fund Tajikistan way more than you might think. Of course, we also have discussions about other subjects, of varying degrees of seriousness. Enjoy!
