Next Target

N says he dreamt of a map with the directions of Russian aggression against other countries marked with red arrows. There were Georgia, Ukraine, Syria. . .

“And one other country,” he says. “But I don’t remember what it was.”

“You need to remember!” I say. “What if the dream means you accidentally accessed a telepathic network Putin uses to let Russians know who the next enemy is?”

For now, N hasn’t figured out Russia’s next target but he’ll keep trying.

    Turkey? Or has that already been relegated to unevent status?

      Turkey was my first guess, too. God help us all if that happens because there’s no reason on either side of that conflict.

    Norway. Since you somehow manage to watch serials, watch “Okkupert” (Occupied). It is dubbed into Russian, but maybe it exists somewhere in original Norse with English subtitles.

      What’s the title in Russian? We can try to look it up on etvnet.com

      This is not the first time people recommend this show to me. It must be good.

    Russian version:
    http://seasonvar.ru/serial-12626-Okkupirovannye-1-season.html
    Other versions should exist as many countries bought this serial. (By the way, the reports from Paris from the time of the terrorist attacks looked very weird because there was advertisement of this serial everywhere, on Paris city buses, etc…)
    But other countries apparently have more respect to copyright laws.

    Make N keep a blank notebook and a pen on his nightstand and tell him to infodump upon awakening. That way if it’s useful information and not N’s brain scrambling the last day into a dream omelet, he’ll be able to retain details.

    You are the second person to whom I’ve recommended this practice.
