Radio War Nerd EP #360 — It Was The War-st of Times (2022 in Review)

That track is on the compilation "F is for Flakes" available on bandcamp here - https://fisforflakes.bandcamp.com/album/f-is-for-flakes

Love the music, is this available for streaming/purchase?

The Burns memo outlines the reasons for the Ukraine conflict perfectly. It’s been an escalating matter ever since at least 2008. No need for psychoanalysis of Putin. The rant on Belarus was very insightful in that regard!

The Westerners who'd made an official hero of Nadia Savchenko dropped her, they were her main base of support. I haven't heard of a Ukrainian politician ever suffering a ratings drop after saying something disparaging towards Jews, and most of them have, including Yulia Tymoshenko (but not as far as I know Zelensky, which would be weird of course, though he did have some well-known extreme-righties in his government). As for Nadia Savchenko, she was jailed by Poroshenko for allegedly trying to stage some kind of fascist coup, which was probably more of an intra-fascist setup than anything else.

Wait so Ukrainians, upon hearing that one of their heroines was Judophobic, dropped her from popularity and political office? Sounds more enlightened than some southern states here in the US.....

Thank you Mark & John to yet another great year! An entire episode on the military budget sounds promising.

A neocon I am not, but I have been relatively correct on Ukraine all along due to the news that I read. I took President Putin at his word and continue to do so. There have been no surprises.

Wait is the civil war series over? What about *a battle only i am interested in*?

@Hexagon Truth I'm also in that tiny minority of fans who think sometimes the hosts' hot emotions regarding NATO and mainstream media can at times warp the commentary. However, you can't deny that the podcast has more facts than unsubstantiated opinions, and covers lots of material that is at more of an emotional/historical remove from the current discourse

@Henry Ermer they seem to have catlike intelligence

Mark why don't you interview Fred W.

So glad to hear the sea gull admiration on the podcast. They're beautiful animals. While they don't seem to be as bright as other birds, when you watch them fly and drop food items to catch them before they hit the ground it's hard not to think that's a type of intelligence

Kudos for John and Mark’s work in 2022, especially with this ep. Mark’s analysis of the Byelorussian connection to Putin’s invasion plans was illuminating, and I also appreciated the reference to the Wartorn documentary. If I had it in me to chip in $100/mo for this show and it’s contributions, I would.
