THREAD compiling notable Gaslit Nation episodes on Ukraine:
At @gaslitnation, we have been covering Ukraine, Russia and the US -- and the global kleptocracy tying them together -- since our first episode in 2018. This thread links to the transcripts of episodes that provide more context for the current crisis.
"Manafort, Wikileaks, and Trump's Long Bromance with Putin" Our very first episode on the global nexus of kleptocratic actors and how Ukraine is used as a playing ground for their criminal schemes gaslitnationpod.com/episodes-trans…
"Kleptocracy World Order" On organized crime, the axis of autocrats, and the escalation of Putin’s aggression on Ukraine gaslitnationpod.com/episodes-trans…
"Lessons from Ukraine Five Years After the Revolution". Interview with Ukrainian journalist Nataliya Gumenyuk, looking back at the 2014 uprising and at parallels between the US and Ukraine gaslitnationpod.com/episodes-trans…
"Oleg Sentsov Directs a Film from a Siberian Prison". Interviews with Russian and Belarusian activists about Oleg Sentsov, a filmmaker kidnapped from Crimea and held in a Siberian penal colony on trumped up charges gaslitnationpod.com/episodes-trans…
"Dirty Dirty Giuliani". May 2019 interview with Russian-American journalist Vlad Davidzon on Ukrainian president Zelensky and what dirty operatives like Giuliani had in store for him and the Biden family gaslitnationpod.com/episodes-trans…
"Will Giuliani Be the Manafort of 2020?" Yes, he was! The June 2019 episode where we describe the Ukraine shakedown that Trump was ultimately impeached for and that US officials pretended they didn’t know about. They feign shock to avoid accountability! gaslitnationpod.com/episodes-trans…
"Fraud Guarantee". On Rudy Giuliani, his goons Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, their mafia master Dmytro Firtash, and their connections to the Trump/Kremlin mafia states gaslitnationpod.com/episodes-trans…
"A New Era of Cyberwar". Interview with WIRED’s Andy Greenberg on how Ukraine is a laboratory for cyberwarfare and how that cyberwarfare spills over into the rest of the world. More important than ever! gaslitnationpod.com/episodes-trans…
"Russian Propaganda as Judge and Jury". Ukrainian journalist Olga Tokariuk discusses how disinformation makes its way from the Kremlin into western media and even into western courts gaslitnationpod.com/episodes-trans…
"The Good Germans". This episode is not on Ukraine but on the “Good Germans” in big tech, big business, the military industrial complex, the mainstream media, and the intelligence community who enable authoritarian kleptocracy. Listen and learn! gaslitnationpod.com/episodes-trans…
"The Polonium Tea Party." On the GOP, its ties to mafia associates and oligarchs from the former USSR, the corrosive influence of dark money on the US political system, and how oligarchy won the Cold War. gaslitnationpod.com/episodes-trans…
"Putin's Terrorism and What to Do About it" Our latest thoughts on Russia's continuing invasion of Ukraine. Lots of background information if you're new to the subject! gaslitnationpod.com/episodes-trans…

Adding this week’s “Dispatch from Ukraine” to the thread
Adding my interview with @AndreaChalupa about “Mr Jones”, her film about a journalist uncovering the truth about Stalin’s genocide famine in Ukraine. This is a heartfelt interview with a lot of lessons for the current moment, much like “Mr Jones” itself: gaslitnationpod.com/episodes-trans…
