Belousov has replaced Shoigu as Russia's minister of defense - and for some reason, western media reports this as a threatening thing for Ukraine. In this episode I explain why they're mistaken, and how this proves that Putin's admitting that he no longer has endless money for the war effort.

...so, I've been doing this for a decade now...

We're back! Putin just got inaugurated, but he's actually just lost all legitimacy. Russia's throwing around nuclear threats again, but at the same time Gazprom's reporting losses for the first time ever and the economy looks a bit bleak.

War in Ukraine: Episode 215

While I was in Texas, enjoying the honeymoon I knew I had to record stuff, because the show won't wait for me, but I did not want to do heartbreaking stuff. Thankfully, Alex had listened to my pre-wedding episode, and wanted to dig deeper about our hero, Stanislav Petrov. We used the rare occasion of a much smaller time zone difference than usual and made this for You - which Alex also posted on his feed too. Enjoy!
