The "butthurt vatniks" edition. Seriously, today, somehow, all levels of Russians who can be seen in the public sphere, managed to cry and get hurt somehow. Official Kremlin, pro war Z-scumbags including Girkin and also the so called "liberal opposition" who made one of the worst PR decisions in their carreers.

News about the war - but as not that much has happened, I took some time to dig up the archives for some bit more philosophical articles and research on this war. There are nrumors out there again, about making some negotiations or a deal...and I wanted to dig up some arguments and show you why that's nearly impossible - and even if it would be, it's a much worse idea than just defeating Russia on the battlefield.

I’ve not only outlasted Wagner group, I’ve also outlasted Prigozhin’s troll farms. And…now there’s also nobody to feed students in Moscow schools. Oh, and….soryy about the sound here, my nose is completely clogged up. But, you know, Happiness is Mandatory!

As I had a day off, I had the time to answer some emails and also talk with people on discord. A few of these email questions were…hard hitting. Also, some plans about the future, thoughts about the war, and in general, issues related to the podcast. Obviously, patrons are not going to be charged for this episode. Please, come join us sometime:

Everything is a mess in Russia. Both on the front lines and off them. Meanwhile, our friends in the Club of Angry Patriots make bold political statements!

Greetings, Comrades! The "coup" delayed this for a bit, but here you go. Oz is a friend of ours, he was there on the ground from the very first day the war started, and he's also covered war in Syria. One of the most inspiring - and brave - people I've spoken to, a truly professional war journalist sharing his opinions and perspectives.

Senile man pretending that he’s an actual competent leader talks in a supposedly international economics forum with his own propaganda machine, fails spectaculary.
