Techno fascism, AI taking over Pentagon, and Ukraine as testing ground – with Viktor Bout

Olga and Tara welcome Viktor Bout, whose career inspired the Hollywood film ‘Lord of War’. After serving over a decade in a US prison and returning to Russia in a high-profile prisoner exchange, Viktor has entered the political arena. He breaks down the ‘Silicon Coup’ and why he believes AI-driven warfare is the greatest threat to humanity. We discuss techno fascism, Palantir, Ukraine, NATO, and the future of global power. We pinpoint the ethical red line of allowing AI to make life-and-death decisions on the battlefield – and how Ukraine has become a testing ground for experimental software. From the ‘PayPal Mafia’ to the fight for digital sovereignty, we break down why the next war won’t just be fought with boots on the ground, but with algorithms and predictive policing. We also discuss Victory Day, Germany’s historical memory, the Ukraine conflict, Christianity and ideology, Africa’s shifting alliances, and the emerging struggle between national sovereignty and global techno-political power.
