Hilarious and tragic. Much like Russia in general.

Am I the only one who sees Tor-NK and reads tourniquet?

Okay Wes. Help me out. I love reading your stuff and am a free subscriber. I want to upgrade to paid but literally cannot figure out where I go to add you to my paid subscriptions (I pay for several others so it’s not that I’m tech illiterate). I’m sure it’s user error on my part, but every time I go to where (logically) I should be able to add you it tells

Me that I am already a subscriber. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your help Wes. I received an email from you and subscribed through that. I believe my issue occurred because I was using the app(Apple) to upgrade and apparently that isn’t allowed. I logged in outside of the app and had the option to subscribe. Would be nice if substack put some neon lights around that so it’s a little more obvious. Thanks again!

Awesome. Thanks David. I look forward to putting together some A+ analysis to earn your subscription. I typically publish free on Fridays, and posts exclusively for paying subscribers Wednesdays and Sundays. My free post is usually reposted at Medium and my YouTube channel. But the two weekly paid posts are exclusive to Substack subscribers. Anyways, welcome aboard!

Okay, I think I found the process. You're not the only one having this issue. There's a huge Reddit thread out there with hundreds of other people having the same problem.

First, try this:

To upgrade your Substack subscription and start paying for a publication, navigate to your profile settings, go to the "Subscriptions" section, and then click on the publication you want to upgrade; you should see an option to "Upgrade to paid subscription" on the management page for my publication, "Eyes Only." Here's the step-by-step:

Access your profile: Click on your profile icon on Substack.

Go to settings: Select "Settings" from the dropdown menu.

Find subscriptions: Navigate to the "Subscriptions" section.

Choose publication: Click on the Eyes Only by Wes O'Donnell.

Upgrade to paid: Look for the "Upgrade to paid subscription" option.

If all that doesn't work, I created a custom link just for you that you should be able to access here: https://wesodonnell.substack.com/fordavid

Hey David, let me investigate and get back to you. That is interesting. I'm sure there is a link on my end that I can send you; I'll dig around in the settings and see what I can find! Thanks for reading!!

More fiction from the war hawks.

As far I know, the NK are in Kursk, not in Ukraine. The NK didn’t “invade” anything. Do you even know what you’re talking about? And ALL wars generate fratricide, like the battalion commander of the Apache battalion of the 1st Infantry Division shooting a hellfire into a Bradley in DS, killing Soldiers. Or the fratricide of Pat Tillman in Afghanistan, which the Army tried to cover up.

…i totally could predict this, those motherfuckers have no brains, this will play so good on their already problematic relationship with koreans, they don’t want to be there and some even inclined to defect or get captured by ukrainians
