Summary

The Japanese-Russo War began on the 8th of February 1904, needing something big to tip things in their favour, Russia sent their Baltic Fleet on an epic journey around the world. Things started badly, and got worse from there! This is a comedy/history podcast, the report begins at approximately 05:18 (though as always, we go off on tangents throughout the report).
