In this episode of International Flavor: Where the Truth Just Tastes Better, Samuel Trapp connects four uncomfortable fronts of the same war. A nine-year-old in Moscow loses his future to a rigged banknote. A captured Ukrainian soldier describes rape, murder and “no survivors” orders in Kursk. Angelina Jolie walks into a $100,000 extortion drama over her detained bodyguard. A Siberian blogger’s drunken anti-war rant and a single bite on a cop turn into two years and seven months behind bars. Add Ukrainian and Western corruption measured literally by the ton, and Samuel dissects how Moscow and the West weaponize terror, tragedy and free speech to keep their own narratives on top. If you think only the “other side” does propaganda, this one will ruin your evening—and maybe sharpen your eyesight.
