Also Ames is cool because despite being kicked out of Russia due to the Exiled making GBS threads on Putin several times he's still considered by libs as a Russian FSB ageny.

Isn't Ames a pedo who verbally abuses women?

I like the work the Intercept does, and Greenwald has been doing good reporting on Brazil and the United States lately, but that doesn't mean I have to trust them.

Why is bring owned by Omidyar different from Thiel tho

Pener, do you have any clear memory of which RWN episodes are essentially repeats? I feel like I hear a lot of the same points in different episodes (e.g., Russian bombing campaign working despite Western media reactions, ISIS being young hotheaded jocks who have no lives/empathy, etc.).

You have a good list of "must listen" episodes but I heard reference to other interesting material like their podcast on the Nagorno-Karabakh war. I just wanna skip the episodes that rehash old information

To the extent that they seem to "apologize" for Russia, it's more that they smelled the bullshit coming from a mile away vis-a-vis the early reports of the Russian intervention failing and predicted that it would in fact succeed. They also make clear that some of Syria's minorities are under threat by extremist Sunni militias, and that Assad is a bulwark against that.

Also, RWN even cheered the U.S. bombing ISIS around Rojava, so I think their bias is especially pro-Kurdish/anti-ISIS more than anything else.

Dolan is one of the most underrated writers of our time, imo. Not many people can pull off his kind of comedy regarding deadly serious topics, while still maintaining a genuine sense of empathy. I'm referring to Dolan's own editorial voice of course, not when he was writing in-character as Gary Brecher.

What is this whole Brecher/Dolan binary about?

Download podcast addict and you can basically subscribe to a zillion podcast rss feeds that you'll never listen to, with a really great interface at that. Plus the download process is super easy. For RWN though you'll need to input the rss link

I'm sorry but this article is maybe a bit too positive towards Limonov http://exiledonline.com/moscow-babylon-free-edward-limonov/

The connection between Mark Ames and Strasserism might not extend beyond this but it's still not a good look

Also Mark Ames is on record as a denier of the piss tape, which is real

There's a lot to be said about how many Civil War generals spent lots of time killing Mexicans during the Mexican-American War and then immediately took to exterminating indigenous tribes during and after the Civil War. So much of what was going through the minds of officials during the war was who was going to have that sweet sweet Western territory after everything had settled
