So, it’s been a year now. Every other news source will tell you about the tragic parts and all that, come, join me as I sit down (in massive amounts of pain tho) with a bottle of Jack Daniel’s and talk about hope and light and the inspirational stuff. Sometimes you need that too. I even say a few good things about Biden on this one.

Situation on the front with Girkin’s view about the future – and news from Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, post-Soviet countries with traditionally close ties to Russia, who are now experiencing difficulties.

Also, some predictions by those very turbopatriots why any Russian offensive is doomed to fail.
