Doesn't seem to be available in Texas just yet.
But it looks seriously interesting.
This would be the kind of place Bald and Bankrupt could do a YouTube account of.
What's the over/under on the number of times he'll say "Soviet"? (Love his videos)
BTW his videos from Cuba, are a must watch. Very illuminating.
The Ruskskis may have gotten some Spam, but according to my WW2 vet pappy (may God rest his soul), it was mainly canned pork stew that was about half lard flavored with a single bay leaf. He received a can of this stuff after the war and opened it. He purchased it from a surplus store. The can had both English and Russian writing on it.
What's a VPN?
Well that was completely different.
Another reason to visit Finland is that you can take a ferry from Helsinki to St. Petersburg without needing a Visa.
Thank you.
A respite from the usual BS of the day.
Totally agree, of course.
I pictured the PRC packing frogmen in the holds of commercial boats to smuggle them to the lake and points south to conquer "Yaw-lup."

Mostly beef. I actually didn’t hear they were getting any spam there. The Soviet specification for canned meat in their ration was beef pieces with bay leaf and salt. Lard was pored on top of the beef before sealing the can to isolate is from residual air which might have stayed in the can so it lasted longer. The specification was submitted to US and it was made under it. Pork wasn’t produced this way in USSR because it was only slightly more than a decade into Stalin’s anti-religious campaign and some troops could refuse to eat it. US actually started to produce canned pork under such specification too and the Soviets accepted it.
In ancient times, the Pasvik region was the land of the Sami. The Skolts were the first Sami people to settle in Pasvik. They had been living on this land for centuries, fishing and hunting, keeping a few reindeers for transportation and milking. And then came the Finns, the Norwegians and the Russians with their claims on borders. And with them came the dogs.
