War in Ukraine: Episode 248

Allthough I’ve caught a cold and sound pretty miserable, I decided to release this one before everyone is 100% focused on the election results. Putin’s original negotiations plans, HIV and hepatitis in the Russian army and another letter from Igor Girkin.

    Two audio recordings from folks in important positions in Russia reveal problems in the military-industrial complex and show that meat assaults are a feature, not a bug. Meanwhile, Z-community is getting fed more false hopes.

    I waited for a day before making this, and it was well worth it. Because now we have a speech by Putin and reactions from Russian opposition and vatniks. And they are nowhere near the elation and joy as most western media that I've seen is claiming. As usual, everything is much more complicated.  "I do not know what is going to happen now. I have no clue." / Putin, 2024.

    Maxim Kalashnikov writes about what are the wins and losses of USA in this war - and talks about the systemic issues of the Russian army. I look at those issues in more depth than usual, because it seems to me that we're near a breaking point. Not because of each individual issue, but because they're finally beginning to add up.

    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.

    Girkin sends another letter from prison - agreeing with Ukraininan analysts and following my predictions about what's gonna happen with Russia in the future. Kremlin's now relying on North Korea to win a technological war. And, of course, the deaths of Ernest and Goodwin continue to damage the morale all over the Z-blogosphere.
  • The terminal stage of Homo Sovieticus

    In this episode, you'll find out why people are willing to go to certain death for 20,000$, why more and more of them are aged 40 - 60, what kind of people they are and what's on their minds. Independent Russian journalists at "Vyerstka" just published an incredibly powerful piece, which I decided to give you in full. Because most western media will just ignore it - and those that will take notice are almost guaranteed to misunderstand it. This is a very existential episode, obviously. And hopefully thought provoking.

    Zelensky's victory plan, another letter from Girkin, and "dragon's teeth" doing massive sabotage in the Russian rear. And, well, more. This time, darker than usual, so there are warnings.

    Gang warfare in Caucasus returns and they don't waste time. Ramzan Kadyrov and Chechen gangs vs. Ingushetia and Dagestan and their own gangs. Criminalization of Russia has now stepped over the breaking point. Also, Russia bans discord, which disrupts their massive counterattack in Kursk.
