Silicon Bites Ep411 | 2026-10-04 | Holy bones cannot save Putin – his curse is upon Russia. And now in a development of profound absurdity, those same saint’s bones from the 14th century, dug up and sent to the front, to save Mother Russia from the misfortune it brought upon itself have been lost. Abandoned at the front as Russian troops chaotically fled from Ukrainian advances. This episode is about the absurdity of Russia, it’s miserable retreat from modernity, and decent into tyranny and

Silicon Bites Ep410 | 2026-10-03 | Trump is doing everything to help Putin win his war, before summer of next year. Does he have a sense that Russia will struggle to mount new offensive operations beyond that point? Or do his hubris and delusion suggest to him that Ukrainians will capitulate after a cold winter of being battered daily? He could not be more wrong – every strike, every atrocity only serves to remind Ukrainians, that there is no worse fate, than to be occupied by Russia. This winter

Now his animosities and resentments, intrigues and plotting may finally be tearing NATO apart. In this episode: the Pentagon's club of the obedient: why Eldridge Colby's formation of a NATO inner circle heralds the death of the alliance by other means, and why Europe must refuse to play this self-destructive game.

Out of sight and sound, with no direct impact on your lives, so you can forget and move on with your cosy lives. You have been warned. Such murder and mayhem are coming to your – to your factories, your businesses, your homes and your special places.

Russia’s hidden mass mobilisation is already running and will be far bigger than the western allies are expecting or planning for. It’s time to wake up to the scale of the threat that Putin represents to the whole free world. Twenty-first of September 2022.

Explosive new leaks hint at what Putin’s inner circle believe, and the picture is hardly of loyalists that are invested in a common vision. Rather a cynical and spineless elite simply clinging to power and their lives – buying more time to grift and protect their ill-gotten gains. But what if there is no plan to what, what if there never was a plan? But they are all only improvising day to day to

Silicon Bites Ep401 | 2026-09-16 | Trump announced a truce that nobody had agreed to. As if uttering the lie loudly and demonstratively would make it so. This little authoritarian trick is wearing thin. Hours later Ukraine burned the AVT-6 unit at a Rosneft refinery — and Russia burned two Kyiv petrol stations. There is no truce. Never was and is very unlikely to be one until Putin snuffs it. The problem is that only one side’s act of violence is being treated in Washington as a problem. And of

Four months later, Kushner spoke remotely to an event in Kyiv and explained that the obstacle to peace is Ukraine. He is clearly upset that Ukraine won’t surrender, won’t capitulate to the aggressor, acquiesce to be erased.

We are seeing moral and political bankruptcy in real time. Putin is scaling up his terror campaign against Ukraine and sending messages to its allies. Border crossings are being struck regularly, passenger trains and petrol stations in the Kyiv area. What was confined to frontline
