We welcomed former Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis down to the bunker. He's already been offered tea by the Kremlin and has watch Lavrov slam vodka at a meeting of diplomats. He believes that Europe has not properly woken up to Russia and has not yet made the decisions that are obvious. Gabrielius' stuff: Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glandsbergis...

We were joined in the Bunker by former CIA analyst Holly Berkley Fletcher, who spent 19 years working in the CIA’s Africa division. She’s also the author of a book about her experiences growing up as the child of evangelical missionaries in Kenya. We discuss why so many religious people support a man who has broken nearly all of the Ten Commandments—and more.   Holly Substack: https://substack.com/@hollyberkleyfle...

In this special bunker edition, Dr. Jade Selena McGlynn returns to the pod! A British researcher, lecturer, linguist, historian, and author specializing in modern Eastern Europe—particularly Russia—Dr. McGlynn is joining us once again, this time from inside Ukraine. With air raid alarms and power outages as the backdrop, she generously takes a break from her on-the-ground work to dive into Russia’s ideology and, of course, Ukraine.   Check out our YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuxW6yJwi_nxP5sS-znVxLg] for the video version of this conversation and catch up on more talks from the bunker!   SUPPORT THE CHANNEL - BUY MASTER STRATEGIST MERCH and DARHT's BOOKS EU shop: https://darths-eu-webshop-shop.fourthwall.com/en-usd/ [https://darths-eu-webshop-shop.fourthwall.com/en-usd/] US/Canada/worldwide: https://darthputin-shop.fourthwall.com [https://darthputin-shop.fourthwall.com] Buy me a coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/inthebunkerwithdarth [https://buymeacoffee.com/inthebunkerwithdarth]

This time, we’ve lured military analyst Anders Puck Nielsen, from the Royal Danish Defense College, into the bunker.
