Drone Wars & The Siberian Smackdown: Ukraine’s Spiderweb Strikes Back

While world leaders talk peace over Turkish tea, Ukraine just crash-landed 40+ Russian bombers with FPV drones smuggled in like contraband vodka. Operation "Spider Web" wasn’t just an attack — it was an 18-month masterclass in guerrilla precision, slapping Moscow’s military pride across multiple airbases. Max and Lisa unravel the audacity, the symbolism, and the brutal calculus of striking deep into Siberia — where Russia thought it was safe. Spoiler: it wasn’t. Meanwhile, Putin drops missiles on training soldiers while showing up for diplomatic tea time in Istanbul. Duality much? Strap in, it’s gonna be bumpy.Note: This project explores the new creative potential unlocked by generative AI, showcasing how a single person, in just two hours, can curate (not create, but curate) a polished podcast series.
