Kursk 2.0 (Dave and Dan 'cast 13)

HEY!

Yeah we're back. 

The time between updates is all on me.

So there are German tanks in Kursk, and this time it's cool.

Is there any more stark reminder of the difference between UKR and RUS fighters (I kind of don't want to call RUS military 'soldiers' as I think there is some honour in soldiering, and I don't think they have much) than how they treat occupied people?

One of the big differences between a Western (NATO standard) military and say RUS or any other third rate bunch or hooligans, is that in the West we allow NCOs and Jr. officers to actually make decisions.  In a place like Russia you can't let that happen, as at some point a captain or a major will think he has some sort of power.  Of course if he's any good he just wants to keep his boys alive, but you can't have initiative!

Prepare for a referendum!

We urge you to help, How? well, there's the Red Cross, UNCR and UNICEF.

Episode 13

Don't Command Me, Do Something For Me (Dave and Dan 'cast 04)

Look, I'l eventually get us our own website....

In this episode we talk about three major events in Russia in 2014. 

Dan taught me a new word!  (I'm going to learn one Russian word per show, I should be fluent before 2050).

Please give to the UNHCR and/or the Red Cross.

Episode 4

Doomed to Progress (Dave and Dan 'cast 03)

Yerevan and Sault Ste. Marie connected again today.  I wonder, was anyone else from here talking to someone from there today?  

Today Dan and I talked about the Medvedev years, and I struggled to proberly pronounce his name.   Dan promises to teach me a little Russian once he is allowed to come to Canada.

We seem to have nailed down when I would leave, and it's the Georgia war.

I plugged my twitter handle, while Dan said 'please be attentive to politics' which, really, is better than me plugging my twitter handle.

I swear we're going to get a website and our own feed.

Again, we urge you to give to the UNHCR and the Red Cross.

Episode 3

A Russian and a Canadian Psychologist Walk Into a Bar

No this isn't really a DaveSoloThing.  However, I needed a place to put this.  Also, this was not recorded in a bar.  It's not a bad title though right?

We'll probably eventually go with a variation on 'My Nuremberg' which is Dan's idea.

This is a new podcast project that I will be doing with a freind Dan, a fellow PhD in psychology from Russia.  He and his family are no longer in Russia (thankfully) and we decided to speak a bit about the current situation.

We urge you to give to any charities that are supporting Ukrainian Refugees, such as the UNHCR,or the Red Cross.
