More detailed info about the ever-continuing meat assaults on the Russian side and also, the #1 event in the Z-vatnik space this week - yet another useful idiot, this time the traitor Tatyana Montyan, being declared an extremist and a terrorist.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder.

15. Russia lacks brain, while the EU lacks a spine

2025/10/25

In this episode, I look at yet more Z-vatnik wankering about how shit the whole situation on the front is for them and compare it to what NATO and EU does about our collective defence and what we should be doing to prevent a larger war on the continent.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder.

14. Russia is NOT winning the war

The Eastern Border ·

2025/10/23

Darryl Cooper from Martyrmade whom I owe a lot to, just released an episode where he claimed that Russia is winning this war. This is an open response to Darryl and to all of his fans, because it was very stupid of him to make such claims in the same day when the Z-vatnik blogosphere was busy whining about why and how Russia is about to lose. Therefore, please share and spread this - because as you'll hear, Darryl is either horribly misinformed or outright lying. He started the fight back in 2022,

13. Groundbreaking innovations in corruption

The Eastern Border ·

2025/10/21

I had to channel my Gonzo style for this one again. You see, there was yet another article, that was just published in the west, stating that Russia's somehow adapted to this war and has modernized and innovated solutions to the problems they had in the early war. The only thing Russia's innovated are new and clever ways of graft and embezzlement - they would deserve a Nobel prize for this, but that's been preemptively stolen - they're just THAT good at crime. And only crime.Support this show

12. Poverty, misery and other Z-vatnik hobbies

The Eastern Border ·

2025/10/16

In this episode, I want to bring you up to speed with the war-related events in the Z-sphere of idiocy. Vatniks are pissing their pants because of Ukraine probably getting Tomahawks in the near future, Putin has to deal with the new president of Syria, and, of course, Igor Girkin has written new things for us to laugh at.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder.

As I'm moving, I thought it would be nice to give you a bit of a historical breather episode, explaining the peculiarities of the proud Latvian region of Latgale. Which, in all seriousness, has more in common with Texas than you probably think.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder. Hosted on Acast.

Juris Kaza and Baltic Security

Earlier this month we had a conversation with a friend of our show, Latvian-American journalist Juris Kaža about the current security issues in the Baltics - here we discuss all the recent drone and MIG incursions and think about the appropriate response. (I do have to apologize about the sound quality though, we had a lot of technical issues.)Please, donate to the Revanche group so that the Ukrainian army could help everyone and deal with our security issues on a permanent

2025/09/29

Roman Alekhine caused a scandal in the Z-Vatnik blogosphere by (shockingly) getting exposed as totally corrupt - this has resulted to a series of events that have been as lucky for everyone who supports Ukraine as hitting the jacpot in Vegas!Please, donate for an armoured car for the Revanche group of the Ukrainian army:https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/autumn-harvest-eastern-borderSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder.

Due to the recent security breaches of Polish and Estonian airspace, Zapad 2025 military excercises by Russia and Belarus went somewhat unnoticed. And that's a shame, because they ended up being a complete waste of money, time, sanity and anything even remotely resemling common sense.Pictures, related to the episode:I.

8. Rule by Asassination

The Eastern Border ·

2025/09/15

A few years ago, me and my dear friend Alex (of History Impossible fame) had a deep conversation about how we’re slowly moving to a “Rule by assasination” world order. Seems that we’re at least one step closer to that, and this seemed like a VERY appropriate time to discuss political philosophy with Alex again.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder.

6. Vatnik Tears: Deluxe Edition

The Eastern Border ·

2025/08/31

In this episode, by multiple requests, there's a deluxe edition of vatnik tears - because I've seen Putin's trolls becoming more active again lately, with two main modes of action, and in this episode I demolish them both thoroughly by using quotes of their own propaganda.Also, here's a video for you by the Ukrainian unit for whom we're collecting money so that they can get their military trucks:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWY7PTnHeVkAnd here's a link to the donation page with more details

5. Exodus 22:18

The Eastern Border ·

2025/08/12

Pro-Russian western people love to use 'tradition Christian values' when they argue their position. They mistakenly presume that what these values mean must be the same both for them and for Russians. This episode should clear any such delusions, because to the vatniks, they are no better than everyone else - in fact, western conservatives should abhor Russian 'traditional values' more than anyone else, as vatniks prefer their God-Emperor and Imperrium over, you know, Jesus. To the point that even

2025/08/08

Greetings, Comrades! This is a news episode - including vatnik tears. But, like I said in the Gonzo episode - war shall not be sanitized, and there is no point writing stuff that's not inspired. This one doesn't require any previous episodes or catching up, made to be shared and with an emotional kick. And I think I've found my style too. I hope you'll enjoy this new format.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode, I cover information that You should be aware of - the kind that various other actors would rather you not think about too much. Sure, there's news information related to the war - but I use it to illustrate a point about why You should truly always read the metaphorical "fine print". The philosophical theme of this episode is about concepts of control, lies feeding more lies and AI algorythms being tied to the propaganda machine.And yes, Russia's economy and logistics are extra

Now that the insanity with doing my dad’s last will and reaching a moment of catharsis is over, we get back to something more structured. Don’t worry, the soul is there, John would not let me do otherwise. We talk about research, culture and how miscommunication and thinking what we presume are normal cause a lot of difficulties for everyone.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder.

The Godfather of Metal, the Prince of Darkness, a true legend has passed. This also triggered the last thing my father wanted me to do – and make a proper oldschool episode. Everything is in there, except I did not eat the shrooms as I couldn’t open the lid.And in doing this, I realized that I have become Gonzo. And quite likely the only one around to do it the right way. Shit, I am competent now. That’s why the old number system doesn’t feel right anymore. This…this is a path of catharsis,

War in Ukraine 300: The Spiral of Death

The Eastern Border ·

2025/07/22

The previous episode signalled the beginning of the end. Putin is now set on a path that will inevitably lead to a new time of troubles in Russia. He's now cracking down on vatniks, but we're at a point where each new crackdown increases the unreast more than it put's down. And because of the system he's built, he can't do otherwise.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

War in Ukraine 299: Maxim Kalashnikov faces reality

The Eastern Border ·

2025/07/14

The self-proclaimed futurologist, one of Girkin's best friends and a true believer in Z ideals Maxim Kalashnikov finally breaks down. A man who sincerely thinks that all that is good in the world has died because of stupidity of his political leaders. A true villainous breakdown of a Z bastard who, even still, thinks that Russia is inherently good - and a cathartic experience for the rest of us!Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder.
