We’re Liz Wahl and Jessikka Aro. We’ve been on the front lines of the information war for nearly a decade. In the courtroom, on the air, online, and at venues around the world, we’ve been exposing conspiracy, extremist, and disinformation movements mobilized by Russia and other authoritarians to break down democracy. This podcast tracks and exposes Russian influence operations against Ukraine and the world's democracies. Understanding Russian disinformation as it wages a full scale war on Ukraine and information war globally is essential to countering it.

Russia's False Flag Operations Targeting Finland, Chomsky Echoes Trump Putin Propaganda

As new evidence reveals more than 600 people died in the Mariupol theater airstrike, Liz and Jessikka discuss a newly uncovered Russian false flag operation targeting Finland. Also, propaganda campaigns targeting Sweden as both countries plan to join NATO after Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

They also discuss the underreported sources that have long been weaponized by Russia's information war - "anti-war" figures and academics that often support the foreign policy stances of autocrats, such as Noam Chomsky who recently echoed Trump Putin propaganda on NATO and Russia's war in Ukraine.
