Congrats on the blog. The Saker was quite the paradox, Russian Neo-Con living in the country he hates.

Anyways, keep up some good analysis on the Russian perspective and I'm sure some coffees will come your way.

One often finds that in life, the most interesting people live as paradoxes, at the crossroads of reason/logic, not easily pigeonholed in a box ;-)

I'd think you'd like All the Smartest People by Aesop Rock.

It's rather descriptive...the whole album is really...

Here is one to consider. a rare hidden GEM..https://chiefio.wordpress.com/

Sample post from some years back, yet still relevant.

Combine the videos and the analysis with some maps on a site and voila!

One slice at a time, I suppose. Can't eat the whole salami in one bite...

Truth be told; if you push the boundaries of this space and look outward, you'll see more space.

How do you mean by map exactly, do you mean map photos pasted inside the article, or do you mean like a standalone interactive map that's built into the site somehow? Cus if it's the latter unfortunately don't think that's possible although I can point you to a few, such as this https://geoworld.space/ukraine/

and this: https://militaryland.net/maps/deployment-map/

The interactive maps are neat, but seem to be a pain in the ass to maintain. I was thinking more in terms of tactical/battle maps breaking down in detail how a particular engagement went down, vis a vis compiled video/sigint evidence, e.g. the Russian Marine assaults taking place currently, textbook examples of how to conduct a treeline/windbreak clearing task. These can later be reconstructed using various tools and simulations.

Right. I am so grateful to follow your work. Really. I am one of those paradoxes. I check in as this is the REAL, as discussed in the short story “ The Velveteen Rabbit”. 💙🇷🇺❤️

I liked what I read when I first discovered your writing and immediately subscribed. After I saw that you were publishing regularly, I became a paying subscriber.

The only thing I request at this time is that you continue to publish regularly, and it sounds like you plan to do just that!

Your success is very well deserved. I just discovered your substack and I'm VERY impressed. Thanks for your hard work!

God Bless You for understanding the concept of a Tip Jar! I love Buy Me a Coffee, and I most certainly will buy you one, or three from time to time. One Substack I think the world of just can't seem to grasp that concept.

And yes, I find it offensive to spend my time reading someone's "piece", I hate that term, and then to comment I have to pay. I delete those people and thus they end up losing a potential share, as well as someone that may subscribe as a paid member, not to mention information they may themselves find helpful in their work and research.

exactly, some of the tactics are a bit too 'aggressive'

As I was but a longtime lurker in both MoA & Andrei's Saker blog, it was an MoA commenter who posted a link to you. While I suspicion that, like all worthwhile blogs, you'll go the paywall route--even though somehow Big Serge, Brian Berletic, and the Duran guys, et. al., manage to scape by. I look forward to you branching off into other areas the way that Jacob Dreizin does as it keeps you fresh and current. While Saker is gone, I hope you'll go the distance and ply us with The Good Stuff.

Kudos, too, for the Tom Waits "Nighthawks At The Diner" art.

The efforts put forth, so thankful. I send you and your team “all good things” from 42 degrees North, 123 West. Most, so many, have very little awareness about what is transpiring. I will be in the body for a few short decades. Thank God I found my peeps🔥
