Summary
In this emergency news episode, I tear down the "Valdai Mirage." I look at the physics that make their claim impossible, the massive bureaucratic screw-up that exposed the lie, and the hilarious meltdown of the "Z-Bloggers" who are furious that their government can't even fake a battle correctly.
Happy new year, Comrades. This one's free for patrons, I've pressed the "Charge for this post" enough times this month already.
