While I was in Texas, enjoying the honeymoon I knew I had to record stuff, because the show won't wait for me, but I did not want to do heartbreaking stuff. Thankfully, Alex had listened to my pre-wedding episode, and wanted to dig deeper about our hero, Stanislav Petrov. We used the rare occasion of a much smaller time zone difference than usual and made this for You - which Alex also posted on his feed too. Enjoy!

Greetings, Comrades! After the terror attack in Moscow and an accumulated metric ton of questions from the Russian oppositon side, I decided that it was the right time to grab Michael from The Red Line podcast and have a talk about the big picture.

ISIS-K, a subgroup of the Islamic terrorist organisation, attacked a concert hall in Moscow yesterday, with over 60 dead and many more wounded. Here's everything that I've gathered about what happened, how we know who did it and a bit of analysis on what it means. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder.

Final results of Putin’s farcical pseudo-voting event are in: absoulutely no surprises there. Also, Belgorod is still under assault, but still we have nothing reliable. Except that there are battles there. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The event, formerly known as "elections" is happening in Russia - and of course, it's falsified, turned into a farce and has nothing to do with any actual choice by the people. Which makes it kind of fun, if it wouldn't be so tragic. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're back to the regular programming, amidst turbulent personal life aand controversial interviews. On the weird side, Putin recently attempted to claim that Belgium exists because of Russia, the so-called election is a mess and some genuinely sad stuff.

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.

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".  Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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.  And here are Victor's charity links! Please do help out a noble...

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...

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.
