The Eastern Border

22. Fable of the Bridge


Listen Later

The Russian army is not the mighty empire we’re told to fear. It is a rusted, bureaucratic black hole where reality is sacrificed for paperwork, and human life is cheaper than a 700-kilogram winch.

I call it "The Fable of the Bridge." Because, in the end, it’s a story where the soldiers lose, the commanders lie, and the only things that work are the Ukrainian drones.
