Episode notes
Latvia Expelled A Critic Without Charging Him
- Latvia expelled journalist Leonid Rogozin as a national-security threat without accusing him of a crime.
- His criticism of Western war policy turned former allies into accusers who labeled him a Kremlin agent.
Objectivity Drew Fire From Both Sides
- AMK received doxing and harassment after reporting whichever side was actually advancing.
- Pro-Ukrainian users called him pro-Russian in 2024; pro-Russian users later accused him of secretly serving Ukraine.

- Ukraine’s sudden Starlink restrictions disrupted front-line drones, logistics, and long-range strike missions.
- The episode illustrates how dependence on one network can make even temporary service limits operationally decisive.
