Vladimir Putin

Sarah Ashton-Cirillo gives an update on the war from Kyiv and shares her experiences being targeted by Russian propaganda. Sarah and Lisa Senecal discuss useful Russian stooges like Tucker Carlson who aid the Kremlin by pushing its disinformation into the US mainstream and social media.

Host Sarah Ashton-Cirillo is joined by foreign policy expert Jessica Berlin. Berlin provides fascinating perspective on the various calculations and miscalculations by not only Russia, but the US and its NATO partners. She explains that our 30 years of “perceived stability” allowed us to forget the language of violence used by dictators use to gain and hold power.

Sarah Ashton-Cirillo, an American serving in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, joins Rick from Kyiv to discuss the status of the war and announce the launch of her new podcast with Resolute Square, ZeroLine.

Don't miss out on this powerful conversation about the fight for freedom and justice!

David Pepper joins Joe and Alex to talk about... multiple coups this week? Why the failed coup in Russia is bad news for Putin. Plus - what's next after the Moore v. Harper decision? What does it mean for 2024?

Ruth Ben-Ghiat examines the potential for a wartime erosion of power, jump-started by Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin's show of force, to eventually take down Russian President Vladimir Putin too.

On this episode of The Enemies List, Rick invites Jill Lawrence to the podcast. She is on top of the political scene and discusses with Rick the state of the Republican party and the race for the Republican nomination. They also discuss Gavin Newsom, Kamala Harris and the mess that is currently taking place in the House Of Representatives.

On this episode of The Enemies List, Rick speaks with Michael Weiss. Michael is the Senior Correspondent at Yahoo News, an author with a new book coming out about Russian intelligence, and an expert on Ukraine. Rick and Michael discuss the counteroffensive that Ukraine has kicked off to beat back Russia and take back important territories. They also talk about American media and how some, like Tucker Carlson, are helping Russian propaganda.

"The UN has become an organization that legitimatizes evil. It is a moral laundering service where mass murderers like Vladimir Putin can send their unspeakable crimes against humanity to be freshly repackaged as a member of good standing in the international community."

Rick speaks with Russia expert and 28-year CIA veteran John Sipher to discuss the ramifications Putin might face due to failures in Ukraine - perhaps even a coup. And Rick looks to an entire industry for this episode's entry on The Enemies List.

The philosopher Mike Tyson was right -- how you react to the punch in the mouth is everything in boxing - and presidential primaries. Who do Rick, Reed, and Stuart think can take a proverbial punch? Will anyone step into the Trump haymaker of lies? And just how colossal a miscalculation was DeSantis' bid for the Putin endorsement?

Will Sommer joins Rick to talk about QAnon's infiltration of the GOP and his new book, "Trust The Plan." And in his first "Week That Was" segment, Rick gives his take on Ukraine, Ohio, and more.

Ukraine and an international alliance led by Biden are doing their part to defeat Putin, but the fight is threatened by the Right's sympathizers within the U.S. Victor Shi reminds us that democracy's survival hinges on winning the battles in which we all must engage.

Biden's visit to Kyiv and his bold rallying of NATO and European allies this week was a high point in post-Cold War American foreign policy. He understood the stakes, the risks, the rhetoric, and the optics of the moment.

Ukrainians fight and die – with guns, bullets, and missiles. We fight with words and political campaigns. If they lose their fight, we’ll lose ours. If we lose our battle, we’ll end up fighting as they do.

Can you tell the difference between what comes out of Putin's vile, lying mouth and DeSantis's, Ingraham's, Carlson's, or even Santorum's?

At every turn leading up to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Putin and his mouthpieces lied about their intentions and Biden and his team weirdified them.

On February 18, 2022, one week before Putin’s invasion, Joe Trippi tweeted the picture he had taken on Kyiv's Independence Square five years earlier and wrote, “Putin has no idea how hard the Ukrainian people will fight to remain free of him.” Ukrainians have proven him right every day since.

Sarah Ashton-Cirillo arrived in Ukraine as a journalist and became a soldier fighting on the front line and serving as a medic. This is her story of why she felt compelled to join the Armed Forces of Ukraine and fight for liberty and democracy.

Resolute Square marks one year of the Russian war against Ukraine with a special conversation and exclusive video posts from Sarah Ashton-Cirillo from the front line.
