Russia reacts to Trump's election

The Eastern Border ·

2024/11/07

I waited for a day before making this, and it was well worth it. Because now we have a speech by Putin and reactions from Russian opposition and vatniks. And they are nowhere near the elation and joy as most western media that I've seen is claiming. As usual, everything is much more complicated. "I do not know what is going to happen now. I have no clue." / Putin, 2024.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Maxim Kalashnikov writes about what are the wins and losses of USA in this war - and talks about the systemic issues of the Russian army. I look at those issues in more depth than usual, because it seems to me that we're near a breaking point.

In this episode, you'll find out why people are willing to go to certain death for 20,000$, why more and more of them are aged 40 - 60, what kind of people they are and what's on their minds. Independent Russian journalists at "Vyerstka" just published an incredibly powerful piece, which I decided to give you in full. Because most western media will just ignore it - and those that will take notice are almost guaranteed to misunderstand it. This is a very existential episode, obviously. And hopefully
