  • Tbilisi, Georgia on My Mind: Protests, Politics, and Putin’s Influence
    2024/11/02

    We’re diving into election drama worldwide this week. In our news roundup, we discuss Japan’s election, Harris and Trump’s recent campaign rallies, and Israel’s most recent airstrike on Gaza. Our main story is all about the turbulent Georgian parliamentary election. Amid allegations of fraud, vote-rigging videos, and accusations of Russian influence, the pro-Russian Georgian Dream party claims victory, sparking massive protests. Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili, a former ally-turned-critic of Georgian Dream, calls the election results a "Russian special operation," and urges citizens to take to the streets. We explore the geopolitical impact, including Georgia’s EU aspirations and regional tensions, and discuss Russia's longstanding influence on this strategically critical nation.

  • Phishing for Missiles: North Korea’s Cyber Hustle
    2024/10/25

    This week, we’re exploring North Korea’s involvement in the Russia-Ukraine war and how they’re funding its military ambitions. With reports of the DPRK sending 1,500 troops to aid Russia, alongside a lucrative weapons trade, we dig into how a heavily sanctioned nation has managed to keep its missile and nuclear programs afloat. The secret lies in the dark world of cryptocurrency theft and hacking, where North Korea has become a leading player. It all started in Hollywood with a little hack and a dream to destroy the 2014 film “The Interview.” And by “little hack,” we mean huge. We talk all about the Sony hack and explain how the DPRK has stolen billions through sophisticated crypto scams, from exploiting LinkedIn phishing schemes to hacking blockchain companies like Sky Mavis, the creators of Axie Infinity, to fund around 50% of its ballistic missile program. Tune in to find out how North Korea’s cyberattacks translate to military power and what it means for global security.
