The Pankisi Gorge stuff is wild...

Reviewing old episodes again. I have to say Mr. Ames' piece on the war, that 2008 was the year the Imperium Americana began to truly unravel, still lives in my head rent free all these years later. It was extremely prescient.

Great show. Very informative. Something I found today while looking at maps and googling the region while listening. If you google "Ossetia" and click on maps, if redirects to the International Criminal Court in Den Haag . When you google "South Ossetia", it says it cannot be located.

Another great show. Can you please do one about the Chechen conflict.

Ilias

Yes! I concur!

This podcast is the best money I spend all month. Keep it up.

Yes, we're planning a show on the two Chechnya wars now.

Thanks very much. Gotta say, the way people have responded to the show has been a wonderful surprise. Guess I'm not attuned to positive outcomes.

radiowarnerd

Thanks. We've come across some strange fortifications almost everywhere we've been, from the Albanian mushrooms to blockhouses deep in Bulgarian mountain forests--but yeah, we need to head toward Trentino, see that front.

Awesome episode I love learning about the origins of these frozen conflicts the many forgotten wars as the soviet union was being destroyed. For those interested in Saakishvili he is a frequent topic on this great blog/podcast on the caucuses and central asia. <a href="http://christophgermann.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://christophgermann.blogspot.com</a>
