    Trump is NOW the Enemy - of Ukraine, Europe, Freedom and Sovereign Democracies!?

    Silicon Bites Ep425 | 2026-10-18 | Kompromat does not explain what we are seeing. A man who fears exposure would do the minimum required for his blackmailer to keep the secrets hidden. But Trump is now doing the maximum within his power to help Putin. This is alignment, this is partnership, infatuation even – a person willing to do whatever it takes for one of the world’s most malignant killers and autocrats to stay in power, sustain his evil war, and prevent Russia from collapsing. He is all in, and we see he is relishing in this open support for Putin, and abusive denigration of Ukraine and Zelenskyy. He is enjoying it, revelling in it, gaining sadistic pleasure from hurting what he perceives to be a weak and irrelevant country – but one he is constantly forced to focus on, to the detriment of his money-making schemes, grift and global extortion rackets. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

    Cormac Smith has worked in Public Relations and Corporate Communications for over three decades. In 2016 he traveled to Ukraine to take up a special appointment as the ‘Strategic Communication Advisor’ to Pavlo Klimkin, then the Foreign Minister of Ukraine. He was attached to the British Embassy in Kyiv but was embedded in Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the first foreigner to hold such a position. While in Kyiv, he also advised and provided training for five other government ministries and worked directly with three other cabinet ministers: Health, Education and the Deputy Prime Minister. ----------LINKS:https://defencebrink.uk/https://x.com/CormacS63https://x.com/philipingmbe----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Car4Ukrainehttps://car4ukraine.com/en-US/campaignsDzyga's Pawhttps://dzygaspaw.com/projectsSuperhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

Samoilov says many Russians long ignored the war but are now reaching out in fear as shortages and uncertainty grow, yet still think only in short horizons. They discuss a shift from refinery attacks to strikes on digital infrastructure, including Yandex data centers and a Sber data center, warning that outages could disrupt cloud services, payments, records, and trust in the financial system in unprecedented ways. Samoilov argues Putin has exhausted money as a tool of control and increasingly relies on violence, empowering security services, deepening chaos, and accelerating an engineered power struggle over succession.----------CHAPTERS:02:11 Putin's Last Gamble03:33 Russians Wake Up07:57 Short-Term Survival Mode09:09 New Target Data Centers10:21 Sberbank Monopoly Backstory15:12 Yandex Under State Control19:21 Digital Disruption Spreads21:39 Financial Records at Risk24:20 Digital Dark Ages26:10 Power Over Russia26:58 Short Term Corruption28:07 Arrests and Gold30:51 Strength as Currency32:22 Back to Stalinism35:03 Money to Violence36:17 Losing Control41:56 Chaos and Succession----------

    Was it REALLY Plague?! Russia Ushers in the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

    Silicon Bites SW26-230 | 2026-10-14 | Russia is working its way through the horses of the apocalypse. War has been waged on Ukraine since 2014, and Putin’s modern wars started even before he was president, in 1999. Death is something Putin has exported on an industrial, historical scale, and brought substantial excess and unnecessary death to his own people. Famine will likely follow the shutting down of Ukraine’s ability to sow, harvest and export grain. Then there’s plague, which is now rocking Russia, in the Irkutsk region. So, what’s happening with that horseman of the apocalypse, which has returned to the world courtesy of Putin’s Russia?----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

    Sberbank Data Centre Hit - Putin is SCREWED if Ukraine Continues this at Scale?!

    Silicon Bites Ep422 | 2026-10-15 | Ukraine Hits Russia's Digital Fuel. Trump Said Leave the Fuel Alone. So, Ukraine Hit the Data. Refineries are a slow burn, but Data centres are a spark that could ignite the whole Russian economy and collapse Putin’s regime. Certainly, the implications for his war economy are huge and devastating. Trump told Ukraine to leave Russia's fuel alone. Ten days ago, he said Zelensky had "better damn well stop" hitting Russian refineries. So overnight on the fourteenth of October, Ukraine went after a different kind of fuel. Not diesel. Data.

    What is KOREA Thinking? Appeasing Trump, Russia and North Korea - Berating Ukraine?!

    Silicon Bites SW26-229 | 2026-10-12 | Seoul recalls its ambassador from the only country killing Kim Jong Un's soldiers, South Korea’s main adversary, that it’s still technically at war with, and calls it diplomacy. It’s not – it’s strategic lunacy, utterly myopic, and borderline abusive. What the ‘F’ is S. Korea thinking? Two soldiers of the Korean People's Army were captured in the snow of Russia's Kursk region in January 2025. Kim Jong Un had sent them to kill Ukrainians for Vladimir Putin. Ukraine kept them alive. Ukraine fed them.

    This is BAD and Getting WORSE - Extortion & Coercion of Ukraine and Allies DEEPENING?!

    Silicon Bites Ep420 | 2026-10-12 | Washington squeezes the victim, rewards the aggressor. Trump lies about a fictitious energy ceasefire agreed by both sides. There was no such agreement, Ukraine was not involved in any such discussion and Putin answers by bombing Kharkiv's power plant within hours. Some of you may still be clinging on to the forlorn hope, the delusion that this is about elections, politics, prices of diesel at the pump. No, it’s clear that Trump wants the war over, in a way that he can benefit from financially. And if that can’t happen, he’d like to grift from it even before its over. If the second hypothesis is the reality, then we must expect many more terrible things to come from Trump’s regime. This could include the shutdown of intelligence to Ukraine, the closure of the PURL arms for money program with Europe, as well as pressure to hand back the frozen Russian assets sitting in various jurisdictions, but mostly Belgium’s Euroclear. Allies could also be pressured to stop supporting Ukraine. Friends in Ukraine have circulated a very black joke, that the U.S. will provide its remaining Patriot PAC-3 interceptors to Russia to protect its refineries. But in this made world, it may not be a joke for long. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

    Ukraine’s Tactical Innovation In Donbas: Is it A Critical Turning Point Towards Victory!?

    Silicon Bites Ep419 | 2026-10-11 | Ukraine snaps Putin's Donbas pincer closed — and starts to prove that an army that invests in machines, and can intelligently deploy them, can out-manoeuvre an army that has an advantage in human resources, and spends men like worthless and disposable meat. Last week, at the Valdai Club, Vladimir Putin told the world that Russia now holds 89 per cent of the Donetsk region. The Institute for the Study of War checked. The real figure is no more than 81. And the territorial gains of Russia have gone from incremental, into negative figures. Through September, pro-Kremlin media boasted that Russian troops had seized another 1,301 square kilometres of Ukraine. ISW went through the geolocated footage and the satellite imagery. In September, Russia didn't gain ground. It lost it. A net retreat of roughly 175 square kilometres. ISW's verdict on Putin's battlefield claims: they are "so far removed from reality that they resemble hallucinations."----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

    The Diesel Betrayal: Why Trump's TREACHERY is So Much Worse for Ukraine!

    Silicon Bites Ep418 | 2026-10-11 | The colouring in Red Diesel is now Ukrainian blood, the blood of children. The aging abuser and parasite, Donald Trump is acting fully to the benefit of Putin’s Russia and its genocidal war. He is now all-in, in the war that Putin is all-in until the end of his life, committed to attacking Ukraine until it capitulates, and attacking the democratic Western allies. The treacherous diesel deal was never about prices — it's a lever to disarm Ukraine before winter.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

    Ukraine Closes the Skies Over Moscow - Was Putin's Plane Diverted due to Drones?

    Silicon Bites SW26-227 | 2026-10-10 | Consequences for its aggression are starting to bite in Moscow. Ukraine’s drones and balloons shut Moscow’s skies, apparently forcing the tsar to circle his own capital until it’s safe to land. Can you even imagine having to be the minion on board that jet that must deliver the bad news to Putin – sir, we cannot protect you in the capital – because Ukraine controls the skies. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

    Caught in a NATO Country: The Fall of a Russian Propagandist!

    Silicon Bites Ep417 | 2026-10-10 | Consequence have arrived for a group of Russia’s leading propagandists. Montenegro detains and expels Rybar's Mikhail Zvinchuk — how he thought he could get away with filming propaganda reels in a NATO country is confusing a lot of people, not least other Z-Patriots. It’s also promoted former Russian president Medvedev to crawl out of a vodka bottle and issue a ludicrous hostage threat. Russia's propagandists thought their passport was a licence.to mock freedom and democracy, but a small NATO state just revoked their impunity and entitlement.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.
