    Actually, I should've just called this episode War in Syria. But, as usual, it all ties together as we're seeing a second front open up...and then collapse violently. And in between all of this, Ramzan Kadyrov just MASSIVELY overstepped the line, and now there's just complete madness everywhere.

    While I was preparing for an economy episode, major events in Syria happened. Oh, and the Russian army is taking away cars from the front line now. Together with the phones.

    Yeah, this is a long one – lots of important things happened during my vacation, which just shows that I’m not alllowed to relax. I talk about the Oreshnik, economy, Merkel’s memoires…oh and the Orthodox Church have been extra weird lately.

    As I'm about to go to a short vacation to The Netherlands, I'm bringing You my discussion with our friend Alex from History Impossible podcast, where we talk about the Trump election, it's impact and how you might deal with it on a philosophical level.

  • Russia reacts to Trump's election

    37:56|
    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.

    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.
