Livestream, 5:00 PM ET: Did We Try to Whack Putin?
Interviewing friend and former colleague Matt Bivens about a weirdly undercovered story
First of all, this is not a new podcast, lol. I’ve just been remiss in paying attention to a very interesting story, and friend and former colleague Matt Bivens — I should say Dr. Bivens, since Matt mostly quit journalism to be an ER doc some time ago — has a new story up about it on Substack. The title of his piece is “Zelensky & Putin Both Mention How a U.S.-Backed Drone Swarm Targeted Putin’s Home and Family,” and I’ll let him explain this evening why it’s more than a little unusual that a seemingly critical piece of national security news has been skipped over in the mainstream press. You can find us here at 5:00 PM Eastern tonight:
Or on X @mtaibbi, as always. See you in a bit.




Sounds exciting Mattie! Looking forward!
[Insert oath], thanks for covering this.
And also, anything related to the new "strategic reality" of drone armies being manufactured all over the globe.
