War in Ukraine: Episode 193
We have a special request here, as in Chechnya a friend of the show's brother is being persecuted. Russia's education system is, apparently, "being assaulted by the west" and GosDuma is trying to prevent kids from learning about the casualities as it seems to be bad for the morale. Also, Putin gave a dumb, nonsense speech.

Shame. Anger. Pain.
To my great surprise, it turned out that the EU and some US companies have been selling precision machine tools for ammo production to Russia throughout the war. And they haven’t been sanctioned at all. (Warning: Episode contains a LOT of swearwords)

Super Informative
Love this show!
Not a true journalist.
He claims to be a journalist but he personalizes way too much of what he reports. He once ranted about being banned from Twitter after he admitted to threatening someone on the Twitter platform. And now he verbally threatens members of the EU. Also, he adds too much information about his personal life into the mix. A report can opinionated. But it should never be a rant.
Another annoying thing I have found about his podcast are his interviews. He is never able to let the interviewee answer a question fully (if at all) without him interjecting his own story or opinion first.
Letonia
Why is your country called Letonia in Spanish? I didn’t know Latvia until I found out we call it Letonia. Greetings from a Catalonian follower who lives in Florida. Also, you said Catalonia hates you? Wrong! We admire those republics who gained independence from their dictatorial empire governments. We just don’t have the sufficient will to follow through.
Much love,
Magda
