worgeordie Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Needs to change his name to "Bald and Captured " , why would any foreigner go near a Russian spaceport , especially at a time like this, I suspect for the fame of been arrested , well I think he's going to rue that... regards worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gulfsailor Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 I rarely watch any YouTubers, but I’ve seen quite a few videos of him in the past. He mostly travels through Russia and Eastern Europe and speaks Russian fluently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
