Once again, the Moscow Economics Forum is upon us, and there are some truly bizzare speakers. Like Dugin for example. Of course, Girkin's buddies react to this as well and bash the 'evil west', while in Russia itself a realtor from Tomsk has discovered a new method for women to get some quick buck.

This week, vatniks were busy writing about Russia’s future after the war and how it should function – which is in stark contrast with reality and how this failed state actually functions. We also have a description of how exactly Russian assaults look like. And I might be mistaken here, but a death rate of 179/180 of a squad isn’t really a good thing.

Russian economical voes have caught up to it's healthcare industry - abulances are woefully slow and certain meds are unavailable. (MD's listening to this will have a blast.) Also, a long letter from Girkin and the regular vatnik gloom.

Welcome to the...ermm...Orange Border, I suppose. I continue to work here, as the Russian economy is still in the mud - and vatniks are dreading any pause in the war, as they feel that their whole army will collapse. Oh, also at the end, Finns did a funny thing again.

Vatniks are confused about Russia's relationship with the USA, Putin's secret service officers get paid 900$ per month so have to become part-time delivery workers and Ukraine has a clear superiority in drones.

I was supposed to have a day off today, but then Trump and Vance literally destroyed the geopolitical, rules-based order of the world that had been in place since the end of WW2. However, Happiness is Mandatory. Things are going be rough, but not catastrophic.

I made this breather episode about a truly great animated movie from Latvia that's got a golden globe and is now nominated for an Oscar, because it is truly a masterpiece and I highly recommend it to everyone. I just did not know I'd post it in an evening as fucked up as this one.
