How the West Can Help Protect Civilians in Ukraine Mar 23, 2022

Show notes

This episode tackles the urgent need for accountability in both the United States and in Putin's war on Ukraine. We start out with yet another deep dive into the cesspool that is Merrick Garland's political career and in particular, his alliance with lifelong mentor and corruption queen Jamie Gorelick. We then turn again to the Kremlin's war on Ukraine and the urgent need for Ukrainians to be protected from the brutal Russian air strikes and ongoing mounting genocide of Ukrainian civilians. For that, we welcome a special guest this week: Ukrainian analyst Olena Tregub, Secretary General of NAKO (the Independent Defense Anti-Corruption Committee), an international oversight body created by Transparency International.

Putin's Potemkin Military Mar 16, 2022

Show notes

In this episode of Gaslit Nation, we revisit some familiar terrain – you know, like Putin did when he decided to invade Ukraine yet again. In Monday's bonus episode, available to Gaslit Nation listeners at the Truth-Teller level or higher, we answered questions about particular issues in Putin's war on Ukraine: nukes, Israel, UK sanctions, and so on. In today's episode, we revisit the history of the current conflict – since many people still do not grasp that the defense pact of NATO is not what prompted Putin's invasion – and of the USSR itself.

Warnings from Syria on How to Stop Putin in Ukraine Mar 09, 2022

Show notes

Putin's brutal escalated invasion of Ukraine was predictable – not only because he announced it in advance, but because Russia has carried out extreme military violence in other regions for decades, most notably Chechnya in the 2000s and Syria over the last decade. As Ukraine continues to fight back, Syria suffers due to the partnership of Putin and Assad and the war crimes they carried out on Syrian civilians, which killed hundreds of thousands and displaced several million. To understand what may be in store for Ukraine, we need to understand Syria, so we invited an expert on Syria for an urgent discussion with Gaslit Nation.

Freedom Square Mar 02, 2022

Show notes

This week, we review the chaotic and horrific developments in Putin's war against Ukraine. We cover the West finally sanctioning Russia and beginning to isolate it from positions of geopolitical power; Putin's threat to use nuclear weapons; the protests in support of Ukraine that broke out all over the world, in particular in independent states that were once colonized by the Soviet Union; the shameful and unforgivable role Kremlin media lackeys played in abetting Kremlin violence in Ukraine and Syria; and what NATO and the West should do to protect Ukrainians trying to flee to the border.

Can the World Stop the Next Hitler? Feb 23, 2022

Show notes

Putin's pre-announced escalated invasion and occupation of Ukraine has commenced, and it happened when we said it would: on the anniversary week of Ukraine's 2014 uprising and the eight year anniversary of Putin's annexation of Crimea. 2-22-22 is set to go down in history – should the future be lucky enough to have history – much as 8-08-08 did when Putin invaded Georgia fourteen years ago. The escalated invasion of Ukraine, a sovereign nation for over thirty years, is a humanitarian disaster and a profound violation of international law. We conclude our episode with an interview with Gustav Gressel, a senior policy fellow with the Wider Europe Programme at the European Council on Foreign Relations. Gressel discusses the implications of Nordstream 2, and Germany's Nazi past in relation to Putin's aggression today.
