War in Ukraine: Episode 281

Russia's now actively trying to interfere in the Baltics again, which has made some people a bit uppity. Thankfully, they continue to be systematically corrupt and incompetent. Oh, and another letter by Igor Girkin. He's awaiting the storm. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

War in Ukraine: Episode 277

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.

War in Ukraine: Episode 275

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.

Very informative and lots of interesting stories. I’ve learned quite a few new facts just from a few podcasts.
Not a good show….

I wanted to be educated on the Ukraine war. The author is a very intelligent person, but he’s not informing us on anything. He just gives his personal opinions on how stupid the west and Russia are and not a whole lot about the actual conflict. He also brings on other people to the show, who claimed to be subject matter experts that were not. Very disappointed because I was looking for a podcast on someone that could give true information on this terrible conflict.
Superb!

Great storyteller— engaging, clear, and intelligent. I could listen to this guy’s stories for hours (and often do).
News with a sprinkling of snark

Enjoying the show, the snark keeps me sane, when the news from Ukraine can be so dark.
