Ok, so im starting a new mythbusting series. This time on the new Cold War. Whose to blame? are the russians poor victims of excessive NATO expansion? or is Putin a thug and bully just looking to pick a fight if he can win? Well, I think many of you know what I think. This first episode looks at Putin`s background, starting with his "KGB" experience during the 1980s all the way up to his "free and fair" election in 2012. It scares me so much that people all around the world think that this guy is such a great leader. Hence the title "mythbusting". This episode will (hopefully) convince you that honestly, Putin is just a freaking opportunist thug who is taking his country down a very dangerous path. Russia and Russians will eventually pay the price. Episodes 2 and 3 will look at US/NATO and Russians policies that have contributed to the new "cold war" and part 3 will look at the arms race today

It doesn't matter who you are or where you live, you will be offended. I mean its not enough to say that this is for only over 18. Over 18 and living during the dark ages more like it. Thats how bad it is. Topics discussed include "name your favorite dictator and why", chinese bats, and yes, the russian national anthem and stalin. You have been warned. Merry COVID XMAS!!!!!!!!!!!

Steve Saideman from the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs in Ottawa spoke on Canada and spoke on the US. the podcast is 100% in english!!! inspite of being produced and "aired" in Mexico. Thanks Vidal and Catherine at the center for putting together this webinar and allowing me to turn it into a podcast. You can check out the center at http://cesig.itam.mx/es/75/paginas/el-cesig

Mythbusting the 1980s: Crazy old man Reagan or so smart he didnt even realize it?

So here is the 4th and final episode of the MYTHBUSTING THE BULL THAT Nazis were actually great military strategies. Just in time for the 75th anniversary of VE Day- Victory Europe, 8 May, 1945, where germany officially surrendered. This episode deals with two of the most dumbest military decisions Hitler made. One being the battle of the Kursk and the second, the Battle of the Bulge. After the battle of the bulge, where the germans attacked and then were soundly defeated by the Americans, the war was over. The US basically walked into germany unopposed. In fact, germans were running to surrender to the Americans, British and Canadians. Listen to podcast to find out why!!! Sorry for taking so long. It really has been a strange 3 months. But I have 2 interviews lined up for this month, so things will get back to normal.

The 3rd annual security perimeter 2019 XMAS and NEW YEAR special!

OK. So this episode looks at the North Africa Campaign and Barbarossa. OMG. HOW PROFOUNDLY STUPID CAN THEY BE. The little corporal (HITLER) made some REALLY REALLY REALLY smart strategic choices during this period (NOT). And thank GOD they listened to him. I mean how stupid can you get? and I dont mean the choice to invade Russia, but rather what the Little Corporal (aka THAT MAN as referred to by churchill) made the german army do when the invasion had already begun. The russians didnt win mr. #putin, but rather, hitler and the rest of the IDIOTS around him lost it. ALSO ALSO ALSO: AWESOME NEW AUDIO EQUIPMENT... so no more crappy sound. Promise. This episode is dedicated to all the NEO-NAZIS OUT THERE! I hope this episode makes you feel all warm and cuddly on the inside. you failed then, you will fail again.

MYTHBUSTING WW2: Were the NAZIS great strategists? HAHAHA!!! episode 3 with AWESOME NEW AND IMPROVED SOUND EQUIPMENT!!!

This episode looks at the beginning of the war, when the Germans were making all these "phenomenal" military victories, poland, france, denmark, greece, etc. Well listen in... someone has lied to you. They were not that great and spectacular as you have been taught (ok, except for the french campaign). These FLAWS in german military STRATEGY are gonna come back and bite them in their assess in the next stage of the war. Please NOTE: episode was recorded over time using different mikes, so the sound quality is inconsistent. But still, its fun cause I get to pick on NAZIS!!!

MYTHBUSTING WW2: NAZIS the great strategists? I think not. Part 2

So this latest installment of the MYTHBUSTING WW2 series looks at Hitler and Nazi`s and the claim that Hitler was a great diplomat in the 30s and the NAZI`s were great military strategists. Nothing could be further from the truth. Listen to find out why. This is a three part series. Part 1 will look at the period leading up to the War. Part II, from 1939 to 1942 and part III from 1942 until the end of the war. Have I ever told you I HATE NAZIS?

The Saki on sabbatical WW2 MYTHBUSTING PODCAST: Hitler the great diplomat and military strategist? I dont think so

Oh my god!!!!! I cant believe I did this! Yup, this episode of the podcast looks at why the use of the atomic bomb may have justified. Any remaining friends that I have - with this episode - thats it. I think even my family is gonna disown me. WARNING: This is EXTREMELY controvertial. If you are not open minded, dont bother listening. However, if you believe in intellectual freedom, listen on. And write back after you listen! tell me what you think, at securityperimeter@gmail.com

The Saki on sabbatical WW2 MYTHBUSTING PODCAST: THE BOMBING OF HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKI

So here is the 3rd and final episode on MYTHBUSTING WW2 and the belief that the soviets singlehandedly won the war. This episode looks at the final phase of the war, during and after the landings at Normandy in June of 1944. Russians love to argue that D DAY was a piece of cake, but they conveniently forget what happened at Falais and at the Battle of the Bulge. Listen in to get the details!!!!

The Saki on sabbatical security perimeter podcast: MYTHBUSTING WW2, No the Soviets didnt singlehandedly with the war Part 3 (finale)

So here is part 2 of the "russia did not win ww2 all by itself". In this episode there is a SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT IN SOUND QUALITY. Sorry for last time, I was trying to figure out a new microphone. This episode looks at the battle of stalingrad, the bombing (flattening) of german cities and the north africa campaign among other things. In the process, I explain that people underestimate what the western allies did before D DAY in june of 1944. Next episode on D DAY. Please feedback!

The Saki on Sabbatical security perimeter podcast: MYTHBUSTING WW2. Episode 2, no Russia did not win WW2 all on its own

ok, so im on sabbatical and i was thinking of a podcast project. I came up with this idea to bust WW2 myths like, "well the NAZI were evil, but they were good military strategists" No they were not. They sucked They were horrible. Thank god the NAZIs made these horrendous military mistakes because it cost them the war. If the Nazis were not there, the german army may have actually won. Another myth: that the verseilles treaty punished the germans so much and that caused WW2 (bullcrap). This specific episode is part 1 of (i think) a 3 part series on the common belief (especially in russia) that the west did nothing and that only russia did the "real" fighting in WW2 (more bullcrap and listen to the episode to find out why) This is gonna be fun for me. I hope you enjoy the series and PLEASE give me some feedback on what you think of it. And it you can think of any other possible WW2 myths that need busting... please suggest. So remember, this first WW2 MYTHBUSTER will probably end up being 3 parts, this one is only part 1. Putin is really gonna hate me after this!!!!

The Saki on Sabbatical podcast. Busting WW2 Myths part 1: That the west did nothing and Russia won WW2 1/3

A fascinating discussion of current national and international security issues. I interview experts on different subjects. More often than not, the discussion ends with a heated (but friendly) debate between me and my guest. So far we have covered issues ranging from the future of NATO, violence and law enforcement in Mexico, defense policy in Canada, the US and Mexico, North Korea, cybersecurity, organized crime, PUTIN, afghanistan... you name it we have covered it or will eventually do so. Every other episode I also give my take on the new "cold war" between russia and the US. Trust me, its getting dangerous. listen to find out why!!!
