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.
