S8 Ep43: Espresso Martini: Plot to kill Zelensky, Russian sabotage plots, and Chinese hacking.

On today's show, we are going to look at a failed plot to kill
President Zelensky, fears of Russian sabotage in Europe, spy
plots being foiled in Germany, and awkward talks between the US
and China about Volt Typhoon, one of China’s hacking operations
against the west.

Then we will move to our Patreon only show “Extra Shot” and we
will look at privacy concerns in the age of AI, then we will turn
our attention to the plot to discredit democracy,  Putin
propagandists in Russia left dismayed as the US finally passes
its aid to Ukraine bill and we will finish up looking at the sad
state of the Royal Navy which has become a show of its former
self after decades of successive cuts.
