After all the funeral stuff and everything surrounding it, I wanted to do a breather episode again. This time, with Desolator Magic, one of the most important M:TG YouTubers out there. We talk Magic: The Gathering, politics, everyday life and survival. It's a fun listen, hope you'll enjoy it. He's more right leaning than my other guests have been lately, but we talk about that too. Here's his YouTube link:

In this episode, I compare and contrast two important speeches: Putin's address to the Federal Council and Yulia Navalnaya's speech to the Europarliament.

Greetings, Comrades! In this episode, I focus on the Kremlin media leaks and what we've found about the propaganda activities that Russia organize both in the west and in the occupied territories.

So, it's been two full years of war ar this point.  Two full years of ongoing insanity, violence and   immense human suffering. We're entering year 3, and I've chosen this moment to remind You all why exactly we simply must do everything we can to support Ukraine. To remind you that war is, and can never be, "the new normal".

As the recent events were a bit...much, I invited a Latvian/American journalist Karlis  Streips to help me analyze what's going on and why. Now, mr. Streips is a bit more radical that my own views, especially when it comes to the Republican party, but I find his insight and knowledge valuable.

So, Navalny's dead. That actually took me by surprise. So, this episode is about his biography, views, impact and why it's just normal that he had to die. Just...maybe not as quickly.

One thing is for sure, that was not an interview. It was, however, exactly how Putin and his propaganda talk all the time for the "internal marker" and they actually believe that too. All of it. Yes.

Totally legitimate western journalist and my good friend Victor returns on the show where he talks about the situation on the front and his experiences there and what it all means. Once learn to differentiate between good and bad rockets by sound, there is no going back really.

Also, we both promised some links in the episode. I presume Victor is extremely busy, because he hasn't sent me any just yet - however, here's our Discord link, so you could prod him yourself about tthose - I think that'll only make him happy.

And if you're listening to this as it's being published: in 3 hours (6PM EST, 1PM Latvia time) Tucker Carlson will release his interview that he's made with Vladimir Putin in Russia. We're having a MST3K watchalong as I'll be streaming the interview and doing my best to comment on all the nonsense and the lies. So, please, if you haven't already, join our discord group!

To the surrprise of absolutely nobody in Latvia, turns out, the representative of the most pro-Putin party in the Europarliament, elected from Latvia, is a Russian spy. Who would've guessed.

Today I bring you probably the weirdest story from the war that I've heard so far - but one  that characterizes what really is this "Russian World" and what's it's true essence. Enjoy!
