Guests: Boris Mamlëz and Rey Katula, The Empire Never EndedRecorded: October 28, 2025

The War Nerd is temporarily out of action, the same wound but new terrors for a future episode. In the meantime, we have a great 2-part series on the little-understood Serbian protests with previous guests Boris & Rey from The Empire Never Sleeps podcast. In part one, we trace the rise of Serbia's president Alexandar Vucic, whose career tracks Serbia's own political transformations in the post-communist era.

Check out The Empire Never Ended podcast. Follow TENE on Twitter.

Did we ever find out if Nepal was a colour revolution?

When I was in Serbia a right wing guy told me he thought Vucic was actually pro Albanian for even engaging diplomatically w govt of Kosovo at all

CR

Look around. Nerds are evil until proven otherwise.

Mathew Muntz

Yeah that's why he's cooked when that situation inevitably resolves

CR

Oh hey. Did the ebook come out for subscribers yet?

Peter Z

Great interview BTW.

I used to listen to Tenepod and forgot about these guys. Great guests thanks for reminding me. Feel better John!

Schaeffer Mallory

The Red Berets episodes are some of my absolute favorites. Have re listened to those probably three times, it's such an incredible story

Michael Conlin-Elsen

Looking forward to listening, and hoping John gets better quickly, God willing.

Most Zionists aren’t Nazis, but Kahanists definitely are. (Kahanism originated the taboo against Nazi comparisons, because the lady doth protest too much.)

Jon

Wishing John all the best and a swift recovery

parker

Tbf kahanism rules the day ATLeast in Israel so it's a mute point as so far the major players in the military are concerned but I do agree alot of liberal and labor Zionism while crazy isnt at that level yet. (Definitely insane tho)

CR

I don't know why it didn't come to me sooner, but someone needs to put Dr. D in a room with David Cronenberg. Body Horror ^2

Elsie Hupp

I mean Kahanism itself is a moot point, considering the fact that Israel has never had consistently defined borders within which it maintains something vaguely like a monopoly on violence, so therefore Israel has never existed… But other than that I’m referring to Liberal Zionist dupes as the majority they don’t actually constitute mainly so that my statement will be *even more* annoying to any Kahanists. (I doubt there are any Kahanists here behind the paywall, but I’ve used the same statement in other places where Kahanists might more realistically see it.)

Are there any RWN episodes about Moldova? My parents are from there and I know nothing about it, I figure if anyone would it'd be you guys

JoR

At the top of their Patreon there’s a post that indexes every episode and topic. I would recommend checking there , from my memory they definitely didn’t have a topic on Moldova at all

James T

Where is the RSS feed for the podcast?

Ian H

Yeah I'm not aware of one, though I feel like Transnistria is a perfect RWN topic

Elsie Hupp

One could argue that the US didn’t exist as a sovereign nation-state until the late 19th Century, yes. Before the late 19th Century, the United States frequently laid claim to significant areas of land that it did not in fact control, and significant minorities (American Indians, slaveholders, etc.) within the land it notionally controlled violently contested that control. At the very, *very* least, the United States could not be said to exist as a sovereign nation-state until after the US Civil War, which established, e.g., that, yes, the United States has sovereignty over its constituent states and territories. Whereas before this point, plenty of people very much did try to argue that the United States was more of a quasi-sovereign federation of substantially more sovereign individual states, something vaguely more akin to the modern European Union. There was, of course, a polite, civilized debate from 1861 to 1865, after which point federal sovereignty much more closely approached reality than mere theory as it had before that point. (And, of course, there have always been people who try to claim otherwise, but they have yet to prevail to the extent that they tried in the 1860s.) Would you meaningfully contest this? 💁🏻‍♀️

Elsie Hupp

In practical terms, one could say that Israel is one of several belligerents in the Levantine theatre of the still-ongoing Post-Ottoman Civil Wars, and if we’re gonna be honest of the least successful. (This is, of course, the fault of the British. If the Zionists hadn’t been cucks for the British—and, at this point, the Americans—there would probably have been peace decades and decades and decades ago.) Oh, honey, being a member of the United Nations doesn’t mean you’re a sovereign nation-state; it just means that Stalin briefly tolerated you at the start of the Cold War before immediately changing his mind, and that you’re a client state of the other permanent members of the UN Security Council who let you pretend to have sovereignty and not mere suzerainty. Israel is as sovereign as South Vietnam, a country that definitely still exists and definitely still has a seat at the UN. Israel isn’t even as sovereign as most of the other Anglo-American client states, like South Korea, which at least has something vaguely resembling a mutually recognized border with its neighbor to the north. And if neither China nor Russia can be bothered to prop up Israel, then Israel is just as imaginary as Anglo-American hegemony more generally in the 21st century.

We haven't. We should. I spent some time with Iurie Rosca, and in Transdnistr, back in the day. It's on our list.

Re: Mark’s Zetas comment - It’s about time for RWN to address the mexican cartel wars!

Think Dragomir was from the Balkans.

It’s a wired name to give to a parrot. It’s like calling your pet Derek or Frederick.
