Greetings, comrades, and welcome to the eastern border. Now, sorry for taking a bit of a break here, which I actually didn't, it just that the episode that I recorded,

which was an in-depth economical talk about Russian economy with Mike from the Red Line is being

edited right now. But, well, I had to focus on that one. And now you're getting my regular

news episode because, well, obviously I have to make these as well. I am more or less okay now in Lafayette, and everything's going quite fine, but, well, the events

going to go but this just plopped in basically five minutes before

I start talking here, so that I'll have to wait for the next episode. However, we have some

truly special stuff for you today as well. First of all, well, Igor Girkin has been very active

recently. He made a couple of posts on his telegram channel via his wife, but, you know, it'll explain themselves in these posts, but I'll just read them in chronological order, since, well, they matter quite a lot given the current situation, and there you can truly assess the doomerism that is sort of overcoming everyone in the Zed community.
