Darryl Cooper from Martyrmade whom I owe a lot to, just released an episode where he claimed that Russia is winning this war. This is an open response to Darryl and to all of his fans, because it was very stupid of him to make such claims in the same day when the Z-vatnik blogosphere was busy whining about why and how Russia is about to lose. Therefore, please share and spread this - because as you'll hear, Darryl is either horribly misinformed or outright lying. He started the fight back in 2022, when he thought I was lying about Russia in my interview on his show and this is the point where I strike back

I had to channel my Gonzo style for this one again. You see, there was yet another article, that was just published in the west, stating that Russia's somehow adapted to this war and has modernized and innovated solutions to the problems they had in the early war. The only thing Russia's innovated are new and clever ways of graft and embezzlement - they would deserve a Nobel prize for this, but that's been preemptively stolen - they're just THAT good at crime. And only crime.

In this episode, I want to bring you up to speed with the war-related events in the Z-sphere of idiocy. Vatniks are pissing their pants because of Ukraine probably getting Tomahawks in the near future, Putin has to deal with the new president of Syria, and, of course, Igor Girkin has written new things for us to laugh at.

As I'm moving, I thought it would be nice to give you a bit of a historical breather episode, explaining the peculiarities of the proud Latvian region of Latgale. Which, in all seriousness, has more in common with Texas than you probably think.

Earlier this month we had a conversation with a friend of our show, Latvian-American journalist Juris Kaža about the current security issues in the Baltics - here we discuss all the recent drone and MIG incursions and think about the appropriate response. (I do have to apologize about the sound quality though, we had a lot of technical issues.)

Please, donate to the Revanche group so that the Ukrainian army could help everyone and deal with our security issues on a permanent basis:

Roman Alekhine caused a scandal in the Z-Vatnik blogosphere by (shockingly) getting exposed as totally corrupt - this has resulted to a series of events that have been as lucky for everyone who supports Ukraine as hitting the jacpot in Vegas!

Due to the recent security breaches of Polish and Estonian airspace, Zapad 2025 military excercises by Russia and Belarus went somewhat unnoticed. And that's a shame, because they ended up being a complete waste of money, time, sanity and anything even remotely resemling common sense.

Classic example of a nonperson being deleted

Peculiarities of the National Hunt did it better than the excercise.

A few years ago, me and my dear friend Alex (of History Impossible fame) had a deep conversation about how we’re slowly moving to a “Rule by assasination” world order. Seems that we’re at least one step closer to that, and this seemed like a VERY appropriate time to discuss political philosophy with Alex again.

In this one, I explain some very important cultural aspects related to the war and the post-Soviet sphere, while covering all the bullshit related to Russian drone incident in Poland. I also haven’t slept for two days straight because of this.
