We wash ashore on the banks of the Dnieper with Radio War Nerd’s Mark Ames (twitter.com/markamesexiled) for a Special War in Ukraine????? Two Parter. In this first hour we detail Ukraine’s complicated road to independence, the various oligarchs, gangsters and western leaders jostling for control and the bloody coup that set the stage for todays conflict.

Episode 205: Ukraine (with Ames) Part 1

We examine the rise of mobile gambling in America, the push to legalize sports betting, big data's drive to create infinite markets, and the digital superstorm of machine-engineered psychosis.

Episode 215: Marching Into Madness

We continue to look at the domestic media response to the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine. This time, we’re talking about “the left” and how some of their “half-baked” ideas about foreign conflict lack serious intellectual rigor and nimbleness, curtesy of an article by “fully baked” author Eric Levitz.

Note: I’m splitting this ep into two parts just to make it easier to keep all the Poppy material separated in case I want to collect them down the line, but 614a & b are one ep for all the Chapo archivists out there.

After the Cold War, NATO needed to reinvent itself politically for the post-Soviet world. For the final installment of our three-part series, we welcome back Ben Howard to talk through the collapse of the USSR, the rise and fall of the Partnership for Peace, and NATO interventions from Yugoslavia to Afghanistan, and we try to figure out just what Article V really means.
