2.7 The Butter Crisis and The Banana Fleet

theeasternborder.lv/podcast/2-7-...

Russian Navy recently surrendered a ship to Estonian customs inspectors without firing a shot and "Digital Stalingrad" in the Donbas where soldiers are resorting to medieval torture just to unlock Starlink terminals.

Good morning from The Eastern Border. We've just had the most brutal winter night of the year. This is my bedroom window. Afraid to check the kitchen from where I can see how much snow I'll be cleaning after my morning coffee.

What can I say. Buy Philips vacuums.

So, uh, we ran into some minor issues with out pellet heater, one thing led to another and...see the attached videos. What can I say, #Philips vacuums are the best. That shit still works. But yeah, no ep tonight bc of minor fire hazard problems. Vacuum saved our house, now is turbocharged.

The "Pellet Crisis" is real. The local depot is empty, the temperature is dropping, and I am currently trying to negotiate a ceasefire with General Winter. He brought an axe. I brought a laptop. Negotiations are stalled.

Explaining the name of this episode:

Russian combat medic spreads his complaints about the quality of their volunteer-given supplies. A fun and revealing read.

Passed through Rēzekne today. Beautiful city. Known for its concert hall, its pottery, and its innovative use of balcony space.
Apparently, "chilling on the balcony" means something very different here.
Stay safe out there, friends. And maybe check your neighbor's balcony.

I need to find an artist to draw me suff like this, but for now, here's 3 AI generated comics using today's Z-vatnik complaits from Telegram as a basis. If you're an artist, hit me up, though

The FSB had a plan to hide Adam Kadyrov's crash. It was a cunning plan. A plan so subtle you could pin a tail on it and call it a weasel. Unfortunately, they forgot one tiny detail: Waze exists.

We caught them scrubbing the maps in real-time. The cover-up failed.

That's all the stuff I have to SHOW you.

No sleep. Too much stimulant substances. Found the map the FSB tried to delete. The Kadyrov era hit it's beginning of the end last night, and I have the receipts. Recording asap. This is the big one. You’ve been warned.

New leaked footage from the front: Russian soldiers mastering the ancient art of... being a tent. ⛺️🏃‍♂️ Apparently, the biggest enemy of this high-tech camouflage is a slight breeze. #russia #ukrainewar #theeasternborder #NCD #noncredibledefense

Neonazis from actively figthing Russian 'DshRG Rusich' regiment ask some difficult questions to their great leader. And those are very interesting numbers to ponder for everyone.

Yeeah, we have a bit of snow here

Meanwhile, my Discord reports that this is happening on Steam.

The more you think about this, the darker (and funnier) it gets.

Zeitgeist of 2026.

Recording now.

A very solid question by the alarmed author of the Z-Vatnik "War Correspondent Koteнок" channel:
January 3, 2026 at 4:02 PM
Vatniks are a) scared because this has shown Russian army is shit and their alliances - meaningless and b) that they despise democracy and will support any dictator at any place on the planet. Trump's NOT loved right now, and the Z crowd are pissing their collective pants.

​The "Ordinary Tsarism" 2025 year-end wrap is a bad trip through a burnt-out empire. They wanted a glorious crusade; they got depressive stagnation, casinos, astrology, and "Komsomol-style" morality police checking marriage certificates at hotels. Even the Z-channels admit the vibe is pure doom.
