So, the main book of my life - "The Torture Camp on Paradise Street" - is available for purchase at the link below. There is no fictional plot in it: it is a non-fiction book describing the events in the Russian concentration camp "Izolyatsia" in Donetsk.

I’ve long argued that extreme brutality is a core element of Russian military strategy.
This video shows Russian soldiers torturing their own. The reason? They smoked their commander’s weed.

Russia benefits from the Greenland story, which could ultimately bury NATO as a structure – whether Denmark will respond to the possible seizure of the island or not.
It is more important for Putin to leave the Baltics without American cover than the Arctic, where he can’t do anything yet.

The Kremlin now has an urgent need to fan the flames of "popular anger and horror."
Television isn't up to the task.
Yes, it's great at maintaining a level of dullness and insanity, but it's incapable of creating the emotional surge that war and dictatorship now require.

Incredible.
Aren't you confused by anything you've said?
For example, that Russia is trying to occupy an independent country? (or is this already the norm in 2025?)
Or that despite Russia not having the strength for a full occupation, that didn't stop it from invading?

It's common knowledge that Putin despises the West, considering it weak.
But is he really so wrong, openly calling Western politicians "pigs", declaring revenge for the Cold War and the collapse of the USSR, which he wants to restore - and hearing endless "negotiations" in response?
