James also known as 'Spaghetti Kozak' is an American who has spent more than a year fighting for Ukraine as part of the AFU, and even longer than that fighting all-comers in the Twitter war that has raged since the war started.
In this special bonus episode of Intrigue Explained, Dmitry sat down with James for a wide-ranging discussion of the war, social media, grifters, geopolitics and understanding Russia.
There were also some Warhammer 40,000 references, because we just can't help ourselves.

In Part 2 of the interview, James and Dmitry tackle some of the most infuriating and erroneous tropes, memes and arguments about the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
