Two Steps East with private detective P. "Konrad" Smith

Russian perturbations: mobilization and the Ukrainian war--plus the Serbian conundrum; BiH-Russian Dodik games, not to mention the "chronic" suicides among Russian oligarchs

Greetings and salutations! In this episode your favorite consulting detective (in Central Europe) finds himself reeling from Russia's spur of the moment partial (or is it full?) mobilization; the nuclear threat and more. Plus we'll get into the rock-and-a-hard-place position of Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, as well as the irony of his arguments to refuse to recognize Kosovo and the tightrope he must walk between Russia and the EU (and the US).  Also in this edition we'll briefly note the arrest of yet another fugitive associated with the Kinahan crime gang, rampant money laundering and yes, the chronic suicides of Russian oligarchs. 

Just a bit of a darkness for your weekend, but don't stress. There is much more to come.
