What if the most powerful leadership lessons start long before your first title? We sit down with Sumi Shukla, VP of Global Marketing at Riverbed, to explore how immigrant roots, blended cultures, and early responsibility shape a career built on resilience, fairness, and authenticity. Sumi's story moves from a childhood balancing identity in a predominantly white town to leading global teams across field marketing, ABM, partners, and digital. Along the way, she learned to trade control for trust, to define outcomes clearly, and to give people the space to deliver in their own way.We get into the big tension leaders face: courage versus perfection. Sumi argues that fearless presence beats “flawless” execution when it carries substance—evidence, iteration, and accountability. She shares concrete examples from marketing, including how her team launched ambitious account‑based marketing programmes, read the data honestly, then made the tough call to scale back and reinvest where results were strongest. You'll hear how to normalise experimentation without recklessness, drop sunk costs without leaving gaps, and build a culture where learning is a habit, not a post‑mortem.Mentors and representation play a central role here. Sumi highlights the impact of formidable female leaders early in her career and the insights from her Global Voices of Leadership: Women Who Inspire series—stories of resilience, unconventional paths, and sponsors who opened doors. Together we map a practical leadership playbook: be clear on the outcome, be consistent and fair, lead from the front or the back as needed, and stay humble because you might be wrong. We close with a simple, moving question about legacy - what remains when titles fade - and why the answer should guide how we show up at work and at home.If this conversation resonates, follow the show, share it with a colleague who's growing a team, and leave a quick review to help others find these leadership stories.

Join me as I sit down with historian Ronald Angelo Johnson to explore his groundbreaking book Entangled Alliances: Black Internationalism in the Early American Republic. Johnson reveals how free Black communities, Caribbean revolutionaries, and geopolitical alliances shaped the rise of U.S. diplomacy during the nation's formative decades.From the Haitian Revolution to the complex relationship between African American activists and U.S. officials, Johnson explains why early American history cannot be understood without the influence of the Black Atlantic world and why history can never be seen as simply black and white. Support the show

On this episode, we take a look at how the the international communist movement makes moves to destroy alliances. What can this cause between nations? How can people be made aware of it? What policies do the current administration have to take steps to carry out another side of the scissor strategy? We ask the questions.

We're excited to bring back a powerful Money Tales conversation with Cicley Gay. In this encore episode, we revisit Cicley's journey from scarcity to abundance. As the founder of The Amplifiers and now Chair of the Board of Black Lives Matter's Global Network, Cicley's insights into money, mindset, and meaning are as relevant today as ever. Whether it's the bag-lady syndrome or the fear that money will vanish no matter how much we earn, Cicley's story reminds us that personal awareness is the first step toward a healthier financial mindset. As the visionary founder of The Amplifiers, a pioneering social enterprise at the intersection of cause and communications, and Chairwoman of the Board for the Black Lives Matter, Cicley brings a wealth of expertise to the forefront of social justice initiatives. She embarked on her civic service journey by participating in two terms in AmeriCorps, then assumed a pivotal position as the founding director of STAND (Students Take Action for New Directions), where she empowered students by educating them on the ramifications of federal budget allocations on under-resourced communities. Cicley's unwavering dedication to uplifting marginalized communities is shown through her decade-long commitment to catalyzing change at The Women's Sports Foundation. In her roles as the founding director of GoGirlGo! and later as the National Director of Education and Alliances, she tirelessly spearheaded initiatives aimed at expanding access to physical activity for millions of young women in under-resourced areas across the nation. Her passion for mentorship and empowerment further propelled her to serve as the Director of National Initiatives at the National CARES Mentoring Movement, where she played a central role in establishing a multi-million-dollar national mentoring initiative for children, earning the financial support of the U.S. Department of Juvenile Justice. Cicley's impact extends beyond her professional achievements. She has been recognized for her outstanding contributions, receiving accolades such as the President's Volunteer Service Award from the Obama Administration in 2013 and the Catalyst Award from the Global Center for Social Change through Women's Leadership in 2015. Additionally, Cicley is a proud member of the inaugural class of WEI (Women's Entrepreneurship Initiative) and has been honored as one of Georgia's 40 Under 40, awarded a SPANX Red Backpack grant for Women's Entrepreneurship, ATL+ most powerful women in Atlanta in 2024 and 2025 and one of SUCCESS magazine's 50 Women of Impact in 2025. She holds an honorary Doctoral degree from Trinity International University. Her greatest accomplishment was winning “Mom of the Year '' as a mom to three sons. Cicley often says, “I spent decades intentionally preparing my sons for the world, I am now focused on also preparing the world for my sons.” Take Action and Make a Difference Learn how leadership, mentorship, and thoughtful philanthropy can create lasting impact—for yourself, your community, and the world.

 Join host Professor Robert Allison for a dynamic conversation with historian Ronald Angelo Johnson, author of Entangled Alliances: Racialized Freedom and Atlantic Diplomacy During the American Revolution. Together they explore how the American Revolution unfolded within a vibrant and contested Atlantic world shaped by Black leadership, Caribbean revolutions, and international diplomacy. Johnson, who holds the the Ralph and Bessie Mae Lynn Chair of History at Baylor University,  highlights the  global forces—from Haiti to Europe—that influenced American independence and redefined ideas of freedom.

The Tennant Mission and the Failure of Alliances: Colleague Charles Spicer recounts that in the summer of 1939, Ernest Tennant undertook a final secret mission to Ribbentrop's Austrian castle, confirming that Hitler intended to attack Poland and wage a long war; while London believed this intelligence and pursued a pact with Poland, Chamberlain's deep antipathy toward the Soviets delayed an alliance with Stalin, and Soviet spies leaked these diplomatic moves to Germany, accelerating the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, emphasizing that despite accurate intelligence from the amateur spies, British leadership failed to exploit opportunities. 1938

Linda Bortoletto, lorsqu'elle s'est égarée au cours d'une marche dans les Calanques de Cassis, ne se doutait pas qu'elle s'engageait dans une nouvelle aventure. Quand ses pas l'ont menée jusqu'à ce petit oratoire marial, elle a dit y avoir reçu un appel aussi original qu'inattendu : Celui d'aller parcourir toute l'Italie à pied, pour en raconter la Grande Belleza, la grande beauté.Linda Bortoletto, lorsqu'elle s'est engagée sur le Sentiero Italia, la marche la plus longue d'Italie, ne se doutait pas non plus qu'elle allait gravir, une à une, les barres d'une échelle céleste qui a transformé sa vie. Dès ses premiers pas, qui l'ont menée jusqu'à la plus grande crèche vivante d'Italie, elle dit à quel point le rayonnement de Marie l'a de nouveau bouleversée.Un peu plus loin, pas loin des pentes de l'Etna, sur la puissante terre sicilienne où « beauté et destruction dansent ensemble », Linda Bortoletto a découvert le sanctuaire d'une Vierge Noire. C'est à ce moment, dit-elle, que son voyage a réellement commencé.En découvrant, tout au long de sa remontée de l'Italie, la présence de nombreuses Madones noires qui suivent un mystérieux chemin stellaire, Linda dit avoir reçu un nouveau message de l'une d'entre elles : « Tu dois raconter qui je suis ».Alors qu'elle est partie habiter en Inde, peu après sa dernière participation à Zeteo, Linda est venue en France présenter son nouveau livre Italia Cosmica.Avec elle, nous sommes invités à entreprendre un parcours initiatique mystérieux et merveilleux, où les étoiles, les anges et des forêts de symboles nous guident et nous accompagnent.En révélant l'histoire des Madones Noires, qui remontent bien avant l'arrivée du Christianisme, Linda Bortoletto rétablit l'alliance avec les temps anciens et notre époque. En témoignant de la beauté, de la puissance et de la fécondité de Marie de Nazareth, magnifiée par les Madones, elle confirme à quel point la mère du Christ, et le Christ lui-même, ont été attendus et annoncés longtemps avant leur venue sur Terre.Linda nous le confie : « Longtemps, j'ai cru que le Christianisme ne portait plus de feu, qu'il avait bradé le mystère contre le dogme ». Le nouveau souffle si puissant qui l'anime aujourd'hui rallume toutes les braises de ce feu.Cet épisode est un hymne magnifique à Marie, aux femmes, au Christ et à l'incarnation. Linda, pétrie de sagesse orientale, infatigable marcheuse devant l'éternel, nous rappelle avec flamme que notre humanité, quand elle atteint l'union profonde, harmonieuse et du corps et de l'esprit, devient divine.Pour lire Italia Cosmica, le nouveau livre de Linda Bortoletto, cliquer ici.LA GRANDE BEAUTÉChers amis, chers auditeurs de Zeteo,En préparant l'épisode diffusé dès aujourd'hui, je ne m'attendais pas, pour cette troisième participation de Linda Bortoletto à Zeteo, à vivre un tel bouleversement. Certes, après l'avoir déjà rencontrée deux fois, j'avais compris qu'il y avait, chez cette fine et jolie jeune femme, la profondeur, le talent, l'énergie et le courage qu'avaient si bien exprimé ses premiers livres.Depuis, j'ai compris pourquoi Italia Cosmica est un livre si important pour elle. Pour venir le présenter, elle a quitté pour quelques semaines l'Inde, sa nouvelle terre d'accueil. Et elle apporte ici, avec elle et en elle, cette mystérieuse et attirante alliance entre l'Orient de sa mère, et l'Occident de son père.Des alliances, avec Linda, il y en a d'autres ici. D'où le bouleversement qu'elle a vécu, dans sa rencontre avec les Vierges Noires d'Italie, qu'elle nous fait vivre à notre tour.Alliances et réconciliations.Entre les sagesses anciennes qui, depuis si longtemps, avaient attendu et annoncé la venue du Christ et le rôle de la femme qui allait l'enfanter, et nos sagesses actuelles qui ont tellement besoin de revenir à La Source.Entre Marie et toutes les femmes. Les Madones Noires, comme ose le dire une amie de Linda, représentent toutes les déesses. Autour de Marie de Nazareth, elles exaltent le féminin sacré et rassemblent toutes les femmes.Telle est la grande beauté que révèle cet épisode. Elle ne se limite pas à la merveilleuse et unique Italie, chantée par Linda Bortoletto. C'est une beauté qui exalte la création, la nature, l'art et les œuvres humaines. C'est aussi, comme le dit encore Linda avec audace, la beauté de l'incarnation et de l'union du corps et de l'esprit, dans toute la dimension sacrée de l'amour humain.La grande beauté, c'est celle de Marie de Nazareth, restituée ici dans toute sa puissance. C'est pourquoi cet épisode est une si belle marche à gravir dans notre montée vers Noël.La grande beauté, enfin, est dans la gratitude.Pour Linda, comme pour tous les invités venus et à venir sur Zeteo. Et pour vous, chers auditeurs, pour votre fidélité, votre enthousiasme et votre émotion souvent, votre soutien nécessaire et votre générosité aussi.Sans vous, et sans vos dons, ceux qui sont venus et ceux qui, en espérance, sont à venir, il n'y aurait pas cette contribution à la beauté du monde qu'ensemble, nous élevons chaque semaine.« Par-dessus tout, veille sur ton cœur, c'est de lui que jaillit la vie. » (Pr 4,23)Tous ensemble vers Noël,Guillaume DevoudPour soutenir l'effort de Zeteo, podcast sans publicité et d'accès entièrement gratuit, vous pouvez faire un don.

Hey there, scummers!Strap in, strap on your tinfoil hats, and maybe keep a shotgun under the bar, because in our first-ever video episode, the Lorekeepers are diving headfirst into the murky sump-waters of conspiracy, psychic skullduggery, and downright dodgy dealings in the dark corners of the Imperium.This week, we shine a flickering lumen on the Psi Syndica, that shadowy cabal of sanctioned psykers, rogue telepaths, and mind-meddlers who definitely aren't supposed to exist (which of course means they absolutely do). From whispered rumours in ash-waste shanties to the cold archives of the Scholastia Psykana, we dig through every scrap of intel we can find — and some we probably shouldn't have.But that's not all. Lurking behind the next rusted bulkhead are the Imperial Imposters — those sneaky, shape-shifting scum masquerading as everything from Administratum clerks to full-blown Imperial officials. Who are they? Where do they hide? And are they your neighbour? (Answer: probably. Maybe. Hopefully not.)Join the lads as they rant, rave, and lore-dump their way through identity theft, psychic crime syndicates, and enough paranoia to make even an Ordo Hereticus interrogator blush.And remember, if you think you're safe, you're already compromised.Tune in, watch the madness unfold, and witness the Underhive Lorekeepers glorious leap into video!Want to support the show? ⁠https://linktr.ee/underhivelorekeepersEnd music theme is Celltrance by Lobo Loco. https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Lobo_Loco/free-for-you-cc-by/celltrance-id-2346/

We'd love to have your feedback and ideas for future episodes of Retail Unwrapped. Just text us!Full disclosure: Don't ever underestimate the power of weather and its impact on retail. There is no other external driver that influences the consumer as frequently, meaningfully, and continuously as the weather. In fact, it influences more than a trillion dollars in retail sales on an annual basis. Join Shelley and Evan Gold of Planalytics as they discuss the fact that the weather is more volatile now than it ever has been before with extreme weather events occurring in the U.S. every three weeks. Evan explains that retailers need to proactively plan with demand forecast accuracy that can increase overall profitability up to 30 percent. Smart retailers incorporate weather analytics into their planning, so they are more weather aware and proactive instead of being reactive with flexible strategies in place as simple as putting weather-driven items in more prominent locations and ensuring the right staffing levels. The holiday selling season is subject to the weather since many retailers do 20% or even more of their annual sales in the month of December. Evan says the good news is that the first few weeks of December in the U.S. are going to continue with persistent, cold temperatures that are going to keep customers in that winter holiday mindset. Listen and learn why weather's a very emotional topic and when retailers can get all functions of their business on the same page by proactively strategizing weather's complex nature, the outcome is more profitable. Special Guest: Evan Gold, EVP, Global Partnerships & Alliances, PlanalyticsFor more strategic insights and compelling content, visit TheRobinReport.com, where you can read, watch, and listen to content from Robin Lewis and other retail industry experts, and be sure to follow us on LinkedIn and Twitter.

Wildlife Intelligence: Magpie Alliances and Cockatoo Defense — Jeremy Zakis — Zakis discussed his dog Dallas, who has become a skilled magpie whisperer, having cultivated alliances with five distinct magpie families throughout the neighborhood. Dallas demonstrates affection and respect toward the birds through deliberate head-bowing behavior, effectively communicating non-threatening intent. Dallas also actively protects the property from destructive Australiancockatoos seeking food and nesting sites. As summer approaches, other wildlife including kangaroos and wombats are increasingly emerging from natural habitat areas into residential neighborhoods.

SHOW 11-24-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR 1852 THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT THE PEACE PLANS.  FIRST HOUR 9-915 Ukraine Peace Plans, Concessions, and the Impact on US Alliances — Bill Roggio, Husain Haqqani — Bill Roggiosuggests Ukraine is losing militarily and must accept difficult territorial and military concessions to ensure state survival, predicting that proposed peace deals will ultimately collapse. Ambassador Haqqani emphasizes that U.S. abandonment of allies, exemplified in Afghanistan and Iraq, creates an international perception that America cannot be relied upon. Russia's prevailing would constitute a victory for the "axis of aggressors," including China, Iran, and North Korea, fundamentally weakening U.S. global influence. 915-930 930-945 945-1000 China's Floating Island, Metamaterials, and Polar Ambitions — Brandon Weichert, Gordon Chang — Brandon Weichert discusses China developing an artificial floating island, potentially engineered to withstand nuclear detonation. He characterizes the platform as a next-generation man-made island designed for anti-access and area-denial capabilities. Weichert emphasizes that the core technology—metamaterials—holds critical applications for infrastructure in extreme polar environments, including the Arctic and Antarctic. Gordon Chang notes widespread pessimism in China regarding the prohibitive cost of such massive engineering projects. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Targeting Terror: Muslim Brotherhood, Hezbollah, and Iran's Crises — Malcolm Hoenlein — Malcolm Hoenlein reports the U.S. is moving to designate the Muslim Brotherhood—Hamas progenitors—as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. He details Iran's severe internal crises, including critical water shortages and power blackouts caused by illegal cryptocurrency mining, alongside its continued drive to rebuild nuclear and conventional arsenals. Israel eliminated Hezbollah's second-in-command, Hashem Safieddine, in Beirut, directly countering Hezbollah's regeneration efforts in Lebanon. The U.S. is actively courting Saudi Arabia to counter China and Russia and encourage participation in the Abraham Accords. Share 1015-1030 1030-1045 Geopolitical Realignment: Venezuelan Cartel and Latin America's Rightward Shift — Ernesto Araujo, Alejandro Peña Esclusa — Alejandro Peña Esclusa discusses the U.S. designating Venezuela's Cartel of the Suns as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, noting they weaponize drug trafficking and maintain alliances with groups including Hezbollah. Ernesto Araujo addresses former Brazilian President Bolsonaro's recent detention and notes that indigenous protests undermined the Lula administration's narrative at COP 30. The upcoming Honduras election reflects a continental trend away from the corrupt "pink tide" regimes. 1045-1100 THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 The Unacceptable Price of Peace: Ukraine's Sticking Points — John Hardie — John Hardie details the Russian-drafted 28-point peace plan, which demanded Ukraine's withdrawal from Donbass, prohibition of NATO accession, and limitations on military force size. Ukraine, approaching negotiations strategically, refuses to surrender fortified Donbass territory essential for defense against future Russian aggression. Russia's maximalist demands render an acceptable settlement nearly impossible, though Ukrainians would accept a military freeze in place coupled with robust Western security guarantees. 1115-1130 1130-1145 Russia's Ambitions in Southern Syria and Israel's Strategic Calculus — Akmed Sharawari — FDD's Akmed Sharawari discusses Russian officers touring southern Syria, potentially returning to staff deconfliction checkpoints between Israel and Syria. Israel reportedly prefers a Russian presence, including bases in western Syria, as a counterbalance to Turkey's growing influence over Damascus. Sharawari argues Israel should not trust Russia given its history of enabling Iranian-backed actors like Hezbollah. Despite ongoing Israeli operations, Hezbollah's smuggling routes remain operational. 1145-1200 Prime Minister Carney's Early Highwire Act in Canadian Politics — Conrad Black — Conrad Black analyzes the early tenure of Canadian Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland (referred to as Carney in this segment), who narrowly secured passage of his budget. Carney campaigned partly on opposition to Donald Trump, demonstrating political agility by balancing competing party factions—advancing a new pipeline for Alberta while offering environmental concessions. Black notes that Canada remains conflicted regarding China, attempting to maintain trade relations while publicly condemning election interference. FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Iran's Strategic Gains from the War in Ukraine — Jonathan Sayeh — Jonathan Sayeh states that Iran is celebrating Russia's advantageous position in Ukraine as a geopolitical win because it enabled Iran to export military weaponry and demonstrate combat capabilities internationally. Iran expects Russia to reciprocate this military assistance, potentially through air defense system modernization or advancement of Iran's nuclear program, despite profound mutual mistrust between the strategic partners. Iran benefits globally by selling weapons and leveraging instability to argue the U.S. has become an unreliable superpower. 1215-1230 1230-1245 Hezbollah Regeneration Efforts and the Fallout from a Targeted Beirut Strike — David Daoud, Bill Roggio — David Daoud reports that Israel killed Hezbollah's top military commander, Hashem Safieddine, in Beirut, marking an expansion of Israeli operations into the Lebanese capital. This escalation reflects Hezbollah's comprehensive regeneration efforts—including receiving billions in funding from Iran and developing domestic drone production capabilities—which are outpacing Israeli degradation operations. Hezbollah and Hamas view Russia's success in Ukraine as strategically beneficial because it diminishes American global hegemony. 1245-100 AM

Russia's prevailing would constitute a victory for the "axis of aggressors," including China, Iran, and North Korea, fundamentally weakening U.S. global influence. 1855 CRIMEAN WAR, SCOTS FUSILIER GUARDS

Eric Marshall, principal at Leavitt Partners, an HMA company, shares how collaboration, not competition, is the way to move healthcare policy forward in a polarized environment. In this episode of Vital Viewpoints on Healthcare, he discusses how multi-sector alliances are advancing solutions to common pain points that too often impede progress on issues like drug pricing, supply chain security, and rural health access. Drawing on years of experience bringing stakeholders together, Eric explains why consensus-building is essential to creating durable, effective policy solutions and how trust, persistence, and shared purpose can overcome even the deepest divides in Washington and beyond.

Entangled Alliances is a reinterpretation of the American Revolution through analysis of diplomacy in the emerging United States during decades of hemispheric transformation. Ronald Angelo Johnson brings to light the fascinating story of American patriots and rebels from Saint-Domingue (later Haiti) allying against European tyranny. The American Revolution occurred between two of the greatest achievements in diplomacy of the eighteenth century: the peace treaties at Paris in 1763 and 1783. In Entangled Alliances: Racialized Freedom and Atlantic Diplomacy During the American Revolution (Cornell UP, 2025), Johnson draws on original multilingual sources to offer readers fresh, lively stories in a timely study. While modern understandings of freedom are often linked to the US Declaration of Independence, Johnson argues that the desire of Black Atlantic inhabitants for liberty and their will to resist slavery predated the fateful standoff between minutemen and redcoats at Lexington and Concord. Entangled Alliances is a US history of the American Revolution, fusing the search for freedom by Black and white founders in the United States and Saint-Domingue into a coherent story of collective resistance during the most explosive twenty-year period of the eighteenth century.

It's not unusual for countries to reevaluate trade relationships as the global economy evolves. However, the persistent uncertainty brought on by tariffs has prompted entire regions to reconsider long-established alliances and rethink new ones that were unimaginable only a year ago. Gordon Hanson, international economist and Professor of Urban Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School, was invited to join a panel discussion on the global economy during the IMF-World Bank Annual Meetings. In this podcast, Hanson says, we need to reinvigorate the process of building new trade agreements that reflect the new world, and middle- and newly high-income countries should play a leading role.

Send us a textRHOP-Truth, Tequila, and a Touch of ShadePodcast Summary: RHOP S10 E5 – “Sunshine and Sexts”The episode picks up right in the drama from last time — Ashley questions Stacey about rumors involving Chris Samuels. Stacey insists they're just friends who bonded through mutual friends and shared divorce experiences, while Ashley pushes for clarity. Giselle jumps in asking if Stacey's ever met Monique, and Stacey admits not yet, but maybe someday.The ladies celebrate Wendy's birthday with cake and tequila-fueled truth-or-drink games. The questions get spicy — Wendy admits being attracted to women, Tia confesses a crush on Rachel Maddow, and things turn tense when Angel says she'd “kill Giselle” in the group, calling her a catfish. A fiery back-and-forth ensues until Angel declares, “I'm that motherf***er,” earning a confessional quip from Wendy about Angel rising like a phoenix now that Kiarna's gone.The next morning, Giselle and Angel finally talk it out by the pool. Angel breaks down, explaining she looked up to Giselle as a big sister and felt hurt by her appearance comments. Giselle surprisingly apologizes, sharing that she remembers those postpartum insecurities and meant no harm. Though Angel accepts the apology, she declines the hug, later calling the convo “shallow and unnecessary.”The ladies then tour the Alexander Hamilton House in Nevis, where Wendy turns the trip educational, while others keep the shade alive. Ashley and Giselle joke about being the “Pussy Pink Palace” and “Funhouse,” contrasting Wendy's “Curly Girl Collective” (CGC) alliance with Staci and Jassi.Giselle later opens up about wanting real love, especially after her father's passing, and teases a new man — but keeps the details private. Meanwhile, Tia shares her cross-cultural marriage story, offering rare heart amid the chaos.Back on the party bus, the energy is wild — stripper pole, drinks, and all — though Wendy feels sick and later stays behind. Stacey lightens the mood by testing her man Thiemo's humor, texting him “Sex” only to get a dry “Who?” reply.The ladies wrap up with dinner at the Sunshine Café, where tensions quietly simmer again between Angel, Giselle, and Kiarna. Wendy's absence looms, Angel feels misunderstood, and Ashley once again stirs the pot.Support the showhttps://www.wewinewhenever.com/

Tara breaks down shocking developments behind the Democrats' “Master ICE Tracker” — a move critics say could put federal agents directly in harm's way. With cartel bounties, activist coordination, and political cover from Congress, Tara exposes how far the left is willing to go to delegitimize law enforcement and the Trump administration. Plus, a bombshell revelation: new reports confirm the FDA buried safety warnings about Tylenol and pregnancy for years, proving again that government “experts” put politics and profit before public health. From ICE doxing to medical deceit, Tara reveals how corruption connects it all.

8. The Misreading of Russia: Ideology and the Insufficiency of Alliances The debate over whether Ukraine should join the EU or NATO fundamentally misses the core issue: Russia's unwavering ideological belief that it must dominate and control Ukraine. If Russians are driven by this revanchist, neo-imperialist ideology, they will continue to seek control regardless of Ukraine's alliances, potentially through misinformation or political interference. American administrations (including Obama, Trump, and Biden) and many Western European powers have consistently misread Russia, treating it as rational or transactional, and thus failed to take its ideological goals seriously. This lack of understanding about Russia's commitment to control Ukraine means that any proposed "settlement" that does not acknowledge Ukraine as an independent state is doomed. Countries like the Baltics and Poland, which have hands-on experience dealing with Russia, correctly recognized the persistent threat but were often dismissed as overly dramatic.1855 CRIMEA Retry
