It's 1993, and Russia is tearing itself apart. A violent coup is threatening to derail Boris Yeltsin's fragile post-Soviet government. Rolf Mowatt-Larssen, Deputy Chief of Station for the CIA in Moscow, is caught in the crossfire. To get out alive, he'll need to lean on an unlikely new ally - Russian Intelligence. In this classic episode of True Spies, Vanessa Kirby tells his story. From SPYSCAPE, the home of secrets. A Cup And Nuzzle production. Series producer: Gemma Newby. Produced by Joe Foley.

The Origins of the Russian Imperial Project in UkraineIn 1888, a statue of Bohdan Khmelnytsky was raised in Kyiv, symbolizing his dual role as a Ukrainian founding father and a figure who united Ukraine with Russia through a 17th-century allegiance to the Tsar. While Khmelnytsky sought protection, the Tsars viewed the alliance as a means to dismantle Ukrainian culture and freedoms. By 1783, under Catherine the Great, this evolved into an Imperial Project, where "New Russia" was established through colonization and the forced integration of southern Ukraine and Crimea. This historical tension underpins the modern debate over Ukrainian sovereignty versus Russian dominance. Guest: Professor Eugene Finkel. (1/8)1840

In this episode of This Week in AML, Elliot and John unpack a busy week in global financial crime and enforcement. They start with Italy's latest FATF mutual evaluation, exploring what regulators praised, where weaknesses remain, and what it might signal for other jurisdictions. The conversation then shifts to the EU's newly adopted Russia sanctions package, including expanded financial and crypto restrictions and fresh anti-circumvention tools. They also highlight key investigations and enforcement actions from France, Moldova, Switzerland, and the OCCRP's latest reporting. In the U.S., the discussion turns to prediction markets, as the CFTC sues New York over regulatory authority, and a controversial DOJ case involving alleged insider betting raises thorny questions about national security, ethics, and enforcement priorities. The episode closes with updates on DOJ staffing cuts, recent indictments, and transparency litigation tied to the Epstein files.

Hvorfor er det så vanskelig å endre mening? Eller er det snarere slik at det er kjempelett å endre mening, vi gjør det hele tiden, det er bare det at vi ikke merker det selv? I boken Ingen tenker alene (Cappelen Damm, 2025) skriver Bjørn Stærk om hva det egentlig vil si å tenke, hvorfor ingen faktisk tenker alene, og forteller en rekke historier om folk som har endret mening om stort og smått, og hvordan det skjedde. I denne podkastepisoden diskuterer Lars og Bjørn boken og disse tema, vi snakker om ytringsfrihet og hvorfor Bjørn er litt mindre opptatt av dette nå enn før, om å ta våre og andres meninger litt mindre bokstavelig, hvor mye ens tanker, argumentasjon og meninger påvirkes av de man omgås, og hvorfor vi mennesker er argumentativ late (og hva det betyr). Vi snakker også om uenighetsfellesskap, amerikansk og norsk politikk, forklaringsdybdeillusjonen, psykologisk forskning på meninger, eksperter og deres meninger, polarisering og samtaler på tvers av grupper, hvordan vi alle egentlig er fulle av selvmotsigelser, hvorfor sosiale medier ikke er spesielt gode steder å argumentere og endre mening (selv om det er mulig), desinformasjon og propaganda, før vi avslutter med noen refleksjoner rundt KI og hvordan våre meninger påvirkes av slike nye teknologier.

As minds are focused on the war in the Middle East, battles are still continuing on the frontlines in Ukraine's war with Russia. But, as this war effort drags on, Russia is solidifying its presence in Eastern Ukraine by pouring millions of dollars into a buildout of transport and trade infrastructure in a region that it is calling “New Russia”...Karolina Hird is a National Security Fellow at the Institute for the Study of War, and joins Ciara to discuss.

THE STATUE OF KHMELNYTSKY AND THE ORIGINS OF IMPERIAL DOMINATION Colleague Professor Eugene Finkel. John Batchelor and Professor Eugene Finkel discuss the 1888 statue of Bohdan Khmelnytsky in Kyiv, originally a project of Russian nationalists who envisioned a Ukraine stripped of Jews, Poles, and Westerninfluence. Finkel explains Khmelnytsky's 17th-century rebellion against Poland and his subsequent alliance with Moscow, which Russians interpret as unification but Ukrainians view as a pragmatic move for statehood. The conversation explores the 1783 imperial project under Catherine the Great, comparing the colonization of "New Russia" and the Black Sea coast to American colonial expansion, aiming to force Russian identity onto a diverse population.

On today's podcast:1) President Trump ordered a blockade of sanctioned oil tankers going into and leaving Venezuela, ratcheting up pressure on Caracas as the US builds up its military presence in the region. The move threatens to choke off the economic lifeblood of a country that was already under severe financial pressure. But it will have a less profound impact on global markets due to the diminished status of Venezuela’s oil industry. The OPEC member’s crude output has slumped about 70% through more than 25 years of socialist rule to less than 1 million barrels a day. It could potentially rebound if the governing regime were to change.2) The US is preparing a fresh round of sanctions on Russia’s energy sector to increase the pressure on Moscow should President Vladimir Putin reject a peace agreement with Ukraine, according to people familiar with the matter. The US is considering options, such as targeting vessels in Russia’s so-called shadow fleet of tankers used to transport Moscow’s oil, as well as traders who facilitate the transactions, said the people who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss private deliberations. The new measures could be unveiled as early as this week.3) OpenAI is in initial discussions to raise at least $10 billion from Amazon.com Inc. and use its chips, a potential win for the online retailer’s effort to broaden its AI industry presence and compete with Nvidia Corp. The deal under discussion could value OpenAI north of $500 billion and see it adopt Amazon’s Trainium chip, a person with knowledge of the matter said, asking to remain anonymous to describe private negotiations. Talks, however, are at a preliminary stage and terms could change, the person added. A deal would mark a win for Amazon’s fledgling semiconductor division. While Nvidia dominates the market for the powerful chips required to create AI platforms, developers such as Meta Platforms Inc. are starting to explore rival offerings from the likes of Alphabet Inc.’s Google.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Origins of the Russian Imperial Project: Khmelnytsky and "New Russia". Professor Eugene Finkel discusses the statue of Bohdan Khmelnytsky, a 17th-century figure viewed differently by Ukrainians as a founding father and by Russians as a uniter with Moscow. Khmelnytsky, too weak to fight Poland, swore allegiance to the Tsar, which Moscow interpreted as complete integration. This established the core conflict and marked the beginning of Russia's imperial project, treating Ukraine as a colonial area they called "New Russia" by the late 18th century. Guest: Professor Eugene Finkel. 1859

1. Khmelnytsky and the Russian Imperial Project The discussion begins with the 1888 statue of Bohdan Khmelnytsky in Kyiv, symbolizing the 200-year quest to dominate Ukraine. Khmelnytsky, a 17th-century Orthodox nobleman, led a rebellion against the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth to protect the Orthodox Church and create a proto-Ukrainian state. Unable to win against Poland, he swore allegiance to the Tsar of Moscow, leading Russians to celebrate him as the unifier of Ukraine and Russia. Khmelnytsky intended a military alliance, but the Tsars viewed it as Ukraine fully joining Russia, gradually dismantling Cossack freedoms. By 1783, coinciding with the US Peace of Paris, Catherine the Great formalized Russia's imperial project, expanding to the Black Sea and integrating Crimea. Russia treated Ukraine as a colonial project, calling it "New Russia" and inviting diverse European settlers, seeking to force these people to become Russian, which Ukrainians resisted, forming the core of ongoing conflict. 1859 ODESSA

We act like the missiles decide their targets. As if the Hellfire drone strike has free will. But in modern warfare—and in modern narrative warfare—the target isn't a target until someone paints it.Laser-guided munitions don't wake up one day and say, “That guy.” They wait. For a signal. A beam. A blinking beacon hidden under the floorboards. The ordnance doesn't think. It follows.And in our endless info-war of vibes and virality, it's the same. Redditors, TikTok rage reels, MeidasTouch-style echo chambers—those are just the munitions. They're not autonomous. They're reactive. What matters is: Who painted the target?Was it a whisper campaign? A blue-checked influencer who switched lanes? Was it a newsletter, a leak, a leak about a newsletter? Who snuck past the perimeter and aimed the dot?This is the essay.We don't talk enough about the targeting package. The long-range recon patrol who slips behind lines to mark something—someone—as worthy of outrage. Maybe they parachuted in. Maybe they're already embedded. Either way, their job is to illuminate.Then comes the kill chain:Think tank report (intel)Atlantic op-ed (authorization)Twitter thread (delivery)TikTok (warhead)You never even saw the spotter.One day, Trump is the darling of Manhattan media, a beloved caricature. The next, he's worse than Hitler. Bin Laden? Our Cold War asset. Saddam? Our oil-stabilizing friend. Gaddafi? Photographed with Condi Rice's mixtape on his nightstand. Then: all painted. All vaporized.Even Putin was “New Russia” once—mining nickel, flirting with NATO. Now he's an eternal villain, an ex-KGB fascist oligarch. We changed the noun from industrialist to oligarch and thought we'd done analysis.Narrative paints. Facts arrive later.Ask yourself: Why wasn't Obama painted? Or Biden? Or even Bush, in his second term? Naomi Wolf tried in 2007—she practically screamed “authoritarian creep!”—but her dot never caught the beam.Because the paint has to stick. The actor must be ready. The story must allow it.Trump? He welcomed the role. Signed the casting contract. Took the heel heat and ran with it like it was WrestleMania. “Make America Great Again” was a catchphrase, not a policy. It was kayfabe all the way down. He turned politics into wrestling. But who booked the match?It's tempting to believe these men write their own roles. But come on. This is Stanford/Oxbridge season 6: Global Civics. These leaders come out of the same boarding schools, the same land-grant universities, the same think tanks and G20 mixers.Bad actors are cast. Sometimes they audition. Sometimes they're just… available.And when their arc is up? Witness protection, or a tombstone with a question mark. Epstein. Elvis. Tupac. “Is he dead, or just reassigned?”The script demands turnover.You're not going to understand power through a fascism bingo card. Power doesn't yell its name. It whispers. It points. It paints.So stop obsessing over the missiles. The real question is: Who's behind the brush?The Kill Chain of Public NarrativeThe Fickleness of TargetsTarget Painting Is The Real PowerThe Actor Doesn't Write the ScriptRetire the Checklist, Follow the Laser

Jon Olson, longtime host of “National Security This Week” on KYMN, discusses the ongoing Ukraine War and Putin’s plans for the future of Russia.

Twenty years ago, the CBS show “60 Minutes” tried to pull off one of the most memorable and outrageous election-year hoaxes of all time. It was the 2004 election between President George W. Bush and John Kerry, and “60 Minutes” claimed to have found documents showing that President Bush disobeyed orders while serving in the National Guard, and that undue influence was used to enhance Mr. Bush's military record. The problem was that the documents were totally fake. They hadn't been typed on a 1970s typewriter, but in Microsoft Word. That hoax became known as Rathergate, because the reporter was Dan Rather. Well, it's an election year again, and “60 Minutes” has decided to push a new hoax. The latest story is that Russia is targeting U.S. officials with secret microwave weapons that cause brain injuries. ⭕️ Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV

Traditionalism and Russian Orthodox Converts – Laurie Taylor talks to Mark Sedgwick, Professor of Arab and Islamic Studies at Aarhus University, about the radical project for restoring sacred order. Traditionalism is founded on ancient teachings that, its followers argue, have been handed down from time immemorial and which must be defended from modernity. How has this mystical doctrine come to have contemporary sway on the political right, inspiring ex President Trump's former chief strategist, as well as the Russian philosopher Aleksandr Dugin, sometimes dubbed as “Putin's brain”?They're joined by Sarah Riccardi-Swartz, Assistant Professor of Religion and Anthropology at Northeastern University, Boston, who has uncovered an extraordinary story of religious conversion in one corner of Appalachia. Here, a group of American citizens has embraced the Russian Orthodox Church and through it Putin's New Russia. They look to Russian religion and politics for answers to Western secularism and the loss of traditional family values. Producer: Jayne Egerton

Ted Snider is back to discuss his recent article for the Libertarian Institute. In it, Snider documents the many chances that were missed to avoid the war in Ukraine and a handful of opportunities to stop the war after Russia invaded. In this interview, Scott and Snider examine that history. They agree that the unnecessary nature of this war makes the present bloodshed that much more tragic. And that the war will probably end with similar conditions to what would have come about through talks and agreements before the war, which renders further fighting to be largely pointless.   Discussed on the show: “The Missed Opportunities of the War in Ukraine” (Libertarian Institute) “Time is not on Ukraine's side” (Washington Post) “The U.S. Approach to Ukraine's Border War Isn't Working. Here's What Biden Should Do Instead” (Politico) “The First Months of U.S. Relations with the New Russia, 1992” (GWU National Security Archive) “Diplomatic Cables Show Russia Saw NATO Expansion as a Red Line” (ACURA) “Zelensky Flounders in Bid to End Ukraine's War” (Foreign Policy) “Fact Checking Zelensky on Non-Alignment” (Antiwar.com) Ted Snider has a graduate degree in philosophy and writes on analyzing patterns in U.S. foreign policy and history.
