Turkey marks a decade since the coup that never was, but never really ended

On 16 July, Turkey marked a decade since the failed coup that shook the nation. Its defeat is widely viewed as the final curtain on military meddling in politics and as the moment when President Erdogan cemented his grip on power, yet the aftershocks for human rights and foreign relations still reverberate. On 16 July, Turkey marked a decade since the failed coup that shook the nation. Its defeat is widely viewed as the final curtain on military meddling in politics and as the moment when President Erdogan cemented his grip on power, yet the aftershocks for human rights and foreign relations still reverberate. A decade ago, factions within the Turkish military, composed of rebellious officers and followers of the Islamic cleric Fethullah Gulen, launched a dramatic attempt to topple President Erdogan. "I remember, as a soldier, those who started the coup," recalls Murat Aslan, an army officer at the time. "I had no idea that there were members of this organisation (Gulen followers); they were very secretive." Erdogan tightens his grip Now a security analyst at SETA, a pro-government think tank, Aslan describes the failed coup as a turning point that reshaped the course of Turkish democracy. "The message was very clear. Turkish society collectively rejected it," said Aslan. "Thousands took to the streets; that's more than challenging, because you see tanks rolling and people trying to stop them, trying to capture the soldiers with their rifles. It takes more than courage." More than 250 people died resisting the coup. In the aftermath, Erdogan imposed emergency rule and expanded his presidential authority through a sharply contested national referendum. "This military intervention actually consolidated the Erdogan-led government," Aslan added. Turkey's military, relations with US to survive failed coup, ruling party vice-president Hundreds of soldiers and officers faced prosecution as the government declared an end to the army's long history of political interference. Since 1960, the military had orchestrated three coups, the most recent in 1980. A decade of purges and closures In the wake of the failed takeover, tens of thousands were purged from state institutions, many never returning even after being cleared. More than a thousand NGOs were shut down during two years of emergency rule. Milena Buyum, senior Turkey campaigner for Amnesty International, acknowledges the grave threat to democracy posed by the attempted coup: "The state has a responsibility to ensure the safety and security of its citizens and to investigate criminal acts like the ones carried out that night," said Buyum. Turkey's Erdogan warms to Russia after West coup response However, Buyum warns that many of the measures introduced under the state of emergency have since been written into ordinary law, permanently curtailing fundamental freedoms: "The right to freedom of expression, freedom of assembly and association: the impact on civil society was felt very sharply and starkly in the immediate aftermath of the coup, but that impact continues," said Buyum.  Ankara's alliances The failed coup also drove a wedge into Turkey's long-standing alliance with the United States. "Ankara saw the hand of the United States behind the failed coup attempt," claims Ozgur Unluhisarcikli, who leads the Ankara office of the German Marshall Fund. Even before the attempted coup, Erdogan's relations with President Barack Obama had been tense. Obama's belated support, offered only after the coup had failed, fuelled Ankara's suspicions of US complicity, particularly as Washington refused to extradite Fethullah Gulen, whom Erdogan blamed for orchestrating the plot. Gulen denied the accusation until his death in 2024. Turks in France divided on failed coup Unluhisarcikli observes that US-Turkish relations remained strained for years, while Erdogan gravitated towards Russian President Vladimir Putin, whose rapid show of support stood in sharp contrast to Washington's hesitation. "Putin was among the first leaders, I believe even the first, to extend political support to the elected government in Ankara, and in those days I believe that support mattered greatly to President Erdogan," Unluhisarcikli said. Rumours still persist in Turkey today that Moscow warned Erdogan on the day of the failed coup. Unluhisarcikli says it was only with the election of President Donald Trump, who shared Erdogan's animosity towards Obama and Joe Biden, that US-Turkish relations began to thaw, a shift highlighted at this month's NATO summit in Ankara. Yet the wave of mass arrests during the summit, enabled by post-coup emergency powers, served as a stark reminder that the shadow of the failed takeover still looms over Turkey.

bto - beyond the obvious 2.0 - der neue Ökonomie-Podcast von Dr. Daniel Stelter

Wiederholt hat der amerikanische Präsident die Übernahme Grönlands gefordert – so auch beim Nato-Gipfel im Juli 2026 in Ankara. „Das sollte von den Vereinigten Staaten kontrolliert werden, nicht von Dänemark“, sagte Donald Trump zum türkischen Präsidenten Erdoğan. Dänemarks Regierungschefin Mette Frederiksen wies die Forderung erneut zurück. Europa reagierte reflexartig, mit Empörung und dem üblichen Verweis auf die Souveränität Dänemarks. Die eigentliche Frage wird dabei aber übersehen: Ist Europa überhaupt in der Lage, die geostrategisch vielleicht wichtigste Region der 2030er Jahre zu sichern? Oder benennt Trump – undiplomatisch, aber analytisch treffend – nur das Vakuum, das China und Russland nur allzu gern füllen würden?Der Wettlauf um die Arktis könnte der bedeutendste geopolitische Umbruch unserer Zeit sein. Das Meereis schmilzt viermal schneller als das Eis auf dem Rest der Erde, neue Handelsrouten öffnen sich, riesige Vorkommen an Öl, Gas und Seltenen Erden werden zugänglich. Russland und China bauen ihre Präsenz systematisch aus. Und Europa steckt einmal mehr im „geopolitischen Schraubstock“, wie das FERI Cognitive Finance Institute in seiner Arktis-Analyse formuliert.Daniel Stelter spricht mit Dr. Heinz-Werner Rapp, Gründer und Leiter des FERI in Bad Homburg, über den Klimawandel als geopolitischen Katalysator, über die mehr als 36 Millionen Tonnen Seltene Erden, die Grönland beherbergt, über die Nordostpassage, die die Handelsroute vom chinesischen Ningbo nach England um zwanzig Tage verkürzt und über die Frage, ob Europa die Tragweite dieser Umbrüche überhaupt begreift.Hinweis ABSTURZ – So retten wir Deutschland: das neue Buch von Daniel Stelter.

The Greek Current
The timeless appeal of The Odyssey, the Iran crisis, lessons from SYRIZA's rise and fall, and the Turkey-Egypt rapprochement

The Greek Current

Christopher Nolan's adaptation of The Odyssey hit the big screen this week. Whether you are a fan of Nolan's work or not, the reactions and debates we've seen across the board remind us of Homer's immortal appeal, and why the story of Odysseus' return to Ithaca has captivated audiences around the world for three millennia. As Daniel Mendelsohn wrote recently, “The Odyssey is a remarkably contemporary story not only because of its hero, but because of the nature of the world around him..” a “postwar world where the old certainties have disappeared.” Those watching current events unfold may have a similar feeling these days.  With the ceasefire with Iran breaking down, we're left with a good amount of uncertainty over what comes next. This is true for the Strait of Hormuz, for the Gulf, and by extension for the Eastern Mediterranean. Bringing us to Greece, this uncertainty is playing out on the political scene, where debates about early elections are picking up steam, while SYRIZA, which was once in government, has been in free fall over the last years. A new round of resignations this week has many pondering if the party has completed its historical cycle. In the spirit of Odysseus' travels across the Mediterranean, we're also heading to Turkey, where Ankara and Cairo took steps to deepen their ties when it comes to their defense cooperation and the defense industry. Daniel Mendelsohn, Elisa Catalano Ewers, Nikos Konstantaras, and Vassilis Nedos join Thanos Davelis as we look into the timeless appeal of The Odyssey, the collapse of the ceasefire with Iran and its wider ramifications, the lessons from SYRIZA's rise and fall, and the rapprochement between Turkey and Egypt. A little more info on our guests: Daniel Mendelsohn is the author of “An Odyssey: A Father, a Son, and an Epic”,  whose translation of "The Odyssey” was published in paperback this spring. Elisa Catalano Ewers is a Senior Fellow for Middle East Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations. Nikos Konstandaras is a columnist with Kathimerini. Vassilis Nedos is Kathimerini's diplomatic and defense editor. You can support The Greek Current by joining HALC as a member here.

This week, Scott sat down with his colleagues Lawfare Foreign Policy Editor Daniel Byman, Lawfare Public Service Fellow Julia Curlee, and Lawfare Contributing Editor and Vice President of Research, Security and Defense at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs Ariane Tabatabai, to talk through the week's big news in foreign policy, including:“Truce or Consequences.” The fragile ceasefire that had paused the U.S.-Iran war since the spring now appears to have collapsed. After Iran struck several commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz, the United States has launched several successive nights of strikes, hitting more than 300 targets across Iran. Iran has in turn retaliated against U.S. bases in Bahrain and Kuwait. Speaking from the NATO summit in Ankara, President Trump declared the June memorandum of understanding “over” even as he insisted that talks toward a lasting peace could still continue. By the weekend, Iran had declared the Strait of Hormuz closed, and U.S. officials were describing the ceasefire as fully “broken down.” Then, on Monday, Trump escalated further—declaring that the United States would “keep” and “run” the Strait as its self-styled “Guardian,” reinstate its blockade on Iranian ships, and charge a 20% fee on all cargo passing through, an arrangement Tehran has flatly rejected. Is the war back on? And is there any diplomatic path left to pull both sides back from the brink? “Rutte Awakening.” NATO's leaders gathered in Ankara last week for a summit that Secretary General Mark Rutte billed as the launch of “NATO 3.0”—a stronger, more self-reliant Europe inside an alliance less dependent on the United States. Allies touted rapid progress toward last year's pledge to spend 5% of GDP on defense, announcing more than $50 billion in new procurement and at least €70 billion in fresh military aid for Ukraine. But the gathering was overshadowed by friction with President Trump, who publicly berated allies for declining to help in the Iran war and briefly revived his campaign to acquire Greenland before ending on a somewhat more conciliatory note. What did the Ankara summit actually accomplish? And what does “NATO 3.0” mean for the alliance's future?“Bad Bromance.” The once-close alliance between Washington and Jerusalem—and between President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu—is showing unusual public strain. Trump has repeatedly clashed with Netanyahu over Israel's continued operations in Lebanon—which have threatened the Iran ceasefire—and over the stalled second phase of his Gaza peace plan, which has all but wilted as Hamas refuses to disarm and Israel refuses to withdraw. Defense Secretary Hegseth abruptly canceled a planned trip to Israel, and a possible F-35 sale to Turkey has added to the unease. The tensions turned vivid this past week when Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna said he was detained for more than an hour by armed Israeli settlers—and then by IDF soldiers—during a West Bank visit, and armed settlers attacked a CNN crew and other journalists days later. At home, Israeli confidence in Trump has plummeted in advance of Israeli elections in October, even as U.S. primaries have produced a record number of candidates critical of Israel, particularly on the left. Just how strained is the U.S.-Israeli relationship? And how might Israel's coming elections—and America's midterms—reshape it? (Also see the Atlantic article by Thomas Wright that Julia references here.)In object lessons, Dan reviews the movie The Invite, and it's complicated. Ari reviews Israeli jazz musician Avishai Cohen's new album “Eternal Child” and is totally engaged. Scott remembers the influential life and career of Lindsey Graham, separating himself from any alleged involvement in a long-ago gym-mat scandal.

L'ex amministratore delegato di Autostrade per l Italia, Giovanni Castellucci, è stato condannato a 12 anni di reclusione per il crollo del Ponte Morandi avvenuto il 14 agosto 2018. È questa la sentenza di primo grado emessa dai giudici del Tribunale di Genova. L'ex numero uno di Aspi sta già scontando una condanna per la strage del viadotto di Monteforte Irpino (Avellino) del 2013, in cui perirono 40 persone. I giudici Paolo Lepri (presidente), Ferdinando Baldini e Fulvio Polidori, hanno anche condannato a 11 anni Michele Donferri Mitelli (ex numero tre di Aspi), per cui il pm aveva chiesto 15 anni e sei mesi.

Per gli imputati, i Pm hanno chiesto 400 anni di carcere complessivi e un assoluzione. E la pena più alta, 18 anni e sei mesi, era stata chiesta proprio per l ex ad. Ne parliamo con Raoul de Forcade, Il Sole 24 Ore.Quando la difesa diventa infrastrutturaIl vertice NATO di Ankara ha confermato che il rafforzamento della difesa europea non passa soltanto dall'acquisto di sistemi d'arma, ma anche dalla disponibilità di capacità produttiva, reti logistiche, comunicazioni sicure e infrastrutture in grado di continuare a funzionare sotto pressione. È questo il significato più ampio della resilienza: non solo respingere una minaccia, ma impedire che un attacco, un sabotaggio o un'interruzione prolungata paralizzino il funzionamento di un Paese. Il quadro di riferimento resta quello fissato al vertice NATO dell'Aia del giugno 2025 e riconfermato ad Ankara: gli alleati si sono impegnati a portare la spesa complessiva al 5% del PIL entro il 2035, di cui almeno il 3,5% per la difesa in senso stretto e fino all'1,5% per spese di difesa e sicurezza allargata che comprendono esplicitamente la protezione delle infrastrutture critiche, la difesa delle reti, la resilienza civile e il rafforzamento della base industriale.Una rete elettrica, per esempio, non è un sistema d'arma, ma senza elettricità non funzionano basi militari, ospedali, telecomunicazioni, data center, aeroporti, porti, ferrovie, industrie e sistemi di pagamento. Le reti europee sono già sottoposte a investimenti significativi per sostenere l'elettrificazione, l'integrazione delle fonti rinnovabili e la crescente domanda dei data center; a queste esigenze si aggiunge ora la necessità di proteggere il sistema da blackout, cyberattacchi, sabotaggi e shock energetici. Approfondiamo il tema con Giacomo Calef, co-fondatore di Rheos Partners.Troppo caldo: in Italia a rischio 126 miliardi di Pil in 5 anniIl caldo estremo è ormai un rischio strutturale crescente soprattutto per l'Europa e in particolare per i Paesi del Sud Europa. Dal 1980 a oggi, gli eventi di stress termico sono aumentati di sette volte, mentre la mortalità media per evento è quintuplicata. L'Europa concentra un numero elevato di vittime: Italia, Francia, Spagna e Germania rappresentano insieme circa il 50% dei decessi globali legati alle ondate di calore registrati nel database analizzato. L'Italia da sola pesa per circa il 18% della mortalità mondiale censita. Secondo lo studio di Allianz Trade, oltre la soglia dei 30°C gli effetti economici del caldo peggiorano rapidamente. Ogni grado aggiuntivo tra 30°C e 35°C riduce la produzione oraria media di circa il 3%, mentre il consumo energetico aumenta dell'1,2% per grado a causa della maggiore domanda di raffrescamento. Gli economisti di Allianz Trade sottolineano che l'Europa è particolarmente vulnerabile perché dispone ancora di una diffusione limitata dell'aria condizionata: circa il 19% delle abitazioni contro il 90% degli Stati Uniti. Nello scenario elaborato per il periodo 2026-2030 basato sulla ripetizione degli anni più caldi registrati nell'ultimo decennio i costi macroeconomici risultano molto elevati. Le perdite cumulative di PIL potrebbero raggiungere: 206 miliardi di euro in Francia; 126 miliardi di euro in Italia; 112 miliardi di euro in Germania; 103 miliardi di euro in Spagna. Per Italia, Francia e Spagna ciò equivale a una riduzione cumulativa del PIL compresa tra il 5% e il 7% rispetto allo scenario climatico storico. Ne parliamo con Andrea Resteghini, Head of Credit Underwriting ( capo dei rischi ) Italia e MMEA Allianz Trade.«Dazi, tariffe illegali» e gli Usa rimborsano alle aziende 81 miliardiDonald Trump aveva promesso che i superdazi avrebbero riportato le fabbriche in America, ridotto il deficit federale e costretto il resto del mondo a negoziare alle condizioni di Washington. Ma la realtà dei conti pubblici si sta rivelando molto diversa. Il Tesoro americano ha rivelato di aver già restituito 81 miliardi di dollari alle aziende che avevano versato dazi poi dichiarati illegittimi dalla Corte Suprema. È la prima volta che vengono quantificati i rimborsi già effettuati, una cifra enorme che cancella una parte consistente degli incassi ottenuti con la politica protezionistica dell'Amministrazione Trump e contribuisce ad allargare il profondo rosso del bilancio federale.Negli Usa il contraccolpo delle scelte di Trump è forte e si avverte soprattutto sul piano giuridico e fiscale. I rimborsi riguardano i cosiddetti dazi del «Liberation Day» annunciati da Trump nell'aprile del 2025 e imposti sulla base dell'International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), una legge del 1977 che attribuisce al presidente poteri straordinari in caso di emergenza nazionale. La Casa Bianca sosteneva che gli squilibri commerciali costituivano un'emergenza tale da giustificare un dazio minimo di almeno il 10% sulle importazioni provenienti da quasi tutto il mondo, accompagnato da tariffe molto più elevate nei confronti di numerosi partner commerciali, a partire dalla Cina. Lo scorso febbraio, però, la Corte Suprema, con una maggioranza di sei giudici contro tre, ha stabilito che quella legge non autorizzava il presidente a imporre una tassa generalizzata sulle importazioni. Secondo i giudici, Trump aveva oltrepassato i limiti dei poteri affidatigli dal Congresso e l'Amministrazione è stata chiamata a restituire alle imprese il denaro già incassato. I nuovi dati del Tesoro mostrano per la prima volta l'entità dei rimborsi già effettuati. Dall'inizio dell'anno fiscale il governo ha restituito 81 miliardi di dollari, contro i circa 5 miliardi che vengono normalmente rimborsati ogni anno per contenziosi e rettifiche doganali.

Last week's NATO Summit in Ankara, Turkey was the latest testing ground for whether or not America's allies are making meaningful investments in their own defense so the alliance is prepared to meet evolving security challenges.

This week we talk about Russia, Ukraine, and the Warsaw Pact.We also discuss Patriot interceptors, Hungary, and Article 5.Recommended Book: The Alternative by Nick RomeoTranscriptThe North Atlantic Treaty Organization, or NATO, was founded in the wake of WWII, in 1949, in order to affirm unity between non-Soviet European nations, Atlantic nations like Greenland and Iceland, and the US and Canada, over in North America.The main purpose of this unity was to establish a sort of firewall around the western perimeter of the Soviet Union, which at the time was the only global superpower other than the US, because much of the world, but especially Europe, was struggling to recover from the destruction wrought during the second world war, and the Soviets had made pretty clear that they intended to take over everything: they'd already gobbled up most of their neighbors, creating an increasingly expansive buffer zone of Soviet states around their central, Russian territory, and most of the conflicts still playing out, or threatening to play out, globally at this point were either overt or slightly concealed proxy fights between the capitalist democratic forces of the West and the authoritarian, Stalinist forces of the Eastern Soviet bloc.NATO was thus a wall of nations that said, hey, if you attack any of us, that will mean you're attacking all of us. And that ‘all of us' included the United States, which was the only individual force capable of standing up to the Soviets at this point, due to its massive conventional military force, and the threat posed by its huge, and still growing, nuclear weapons arsenal.The Soviet counter to NATO was called the Warsaw Pact, which formed in 1955, and these rival alliances carved up Europe during the latter half of the 20th century, until the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991.As military alliances go, NATO has been fairly successful—Article 5, the portion of the agreement that triggers if a NATO member is attacked, calling the other members to come to their aid, was only activated once, following the terrorist attacks on the US on September 11, 2001; that led to NATO involvement in the US's attacks on Afghanistan in subsequent years, though NATO forces also periodically got involved in other regional conflicts, like the Kosovo War in 1999, and the Libyan Civil War in 2011, in both cases working with the UN to protect civilians from the actions of violent leaders or assailants. But beyond that, no one, including the Soviets, messed with NATO.NATO has since accepted sixteen new member states, and that expansion is one of the supposed rationales for Russian President Putin's invasion of Ukraine. During Putin's first presidency, Russia and NATO had been on pretty solid, even cooperative terms, which had some questioning the point of the treaty, since it was originally formed to counter Russian aggression. In Putin's second presidency, though, things took an antagonistic turn, and when Russia illegally invaded and annexed a part of Ukraine, called Crimea, back in 2014, NATO ceased all cooperation with Russia.When Russian forces launched a full invasion of Ukraine in 2022, NATO suddenly seemed more important than ever, as a reinvigorated Russia, with the stated purpose of, in Putin's words, reclaiming portions of Europe that were previously part of the extended Soviet Union, parts of the Warsaw Pact, that posed a serious threat to just about everyone, especially European nations that border Russia and Russian allies, like Belarus.What I'd like to talk about today is the 2026 meeting of NATO leaders, and the general state of affairs on the ground in Ukraine, as of mid-2026.—Leaders of NATO member nations typically meet for a summit each year, though the schedule varies a bit, depending on the needs of the moment, and whether there are any NATO-relevant crises that might nudge things forward or cause them to be delayed.The 2026 NATO summit was held in Turkey's capitol city, Ankara, on July 7 and 8. It was the second such summit hosted by Turkey, and the 36th NATO summit, overall.This meeting was notable for several reasons, many of them directly related to Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine, but also the US's continued ambivalence, at times bordering on active antagonism, toward the treaty, under the Trump administration.Over the course of the past 4 years, Russia has continued to make threats toward the rest of Europe, implying or suggesting that it might have to act militarily against its NATO-member neighbors. During the same period, the US has criticized European NATO member states for not carrying their own weight, most of these nations not spending enough of their GDP on their military and defense infrastructure, in accordance with their treaty obligations, and most more or less relying on the US's military (and nuclear) umbrella to threaten would-be attackers.This has long been the NATO state of affairs, but under the Trump administration, the US made it a point of contention. And though it's been a relatively slow process—it's not easy for a government to pivot toward that scale of remilitarization—these nations have agreed to a 5% of GDP target for defense and defense-related spending by 2035, and in the last year alone, European and Canadian defense spending has increase by 20%; not all of which is immediately convertible into useful, front-line assets and soldiers, but it does represent a significant change to the status quo, which could eventually, in less than a decade, result in a European front-line that's more European and less NATO, for the first time since that immediate post-WWII period.This meeting also featured a reaffirmation of Article 5, which has always been there and in effect, but some analysis has questioned whether NATO allies, including the US, would actually step up if Russia were to attack the Baltics, for instance. This is a seemingly small move that serves to underline that stance of, if you attack one of us, you've attacked all of us, at a moment in which Russia seems to be toying with the idea of picking off pieces of the alliance, to see if they can get away with it, like they did with Crimea back in 2014.There were also announcements related to a fresh $50 billion in defense industry deals, NATO members investing heavily in US-made arms and new assets from elsewhere across the bloc, and a lot of that money is going to drone-war infrastructure and militarized AI models that they hope will prepare NATO for current and next-generation conflicts. Another $217 billion in additional financing commitments from banks across the bloc have also been announced.Ukraine scored some pretty big wins at this year's NATO summit, getting a license from the US to build Patriot interceptors, the lack of which have resulted in big gaps in the country's defense system, and about $80 billion in military equipment, assistance, and training for Ukrainian forces was committed by the bloc. There was also a verbal commitment that NATO and its allies “stand united in our unwavering support for Ukraine in defending its freedom, sovereignty, and territorial integrity.” Which isn't nothing, at a moment in which the US is led by Trump, a person who has frequently sided with Putin in Ukraine-related matters.Ukraine has also signed some bilateral drone deals with NATO member states, reaffirming that Ukraine has become one of the most in-demand experts on this subject, at a moment in which it's becoming clearer and clearer that low-cost, high-impact drones and similar technologies are likely to dominate battlefields for the foreseeable future.There were also some tensions, mostly sparked by Trump, over his administration's desire to buy Greenland, which is not a notion that's supported by anyone else in the bloc, and the lack of NATO support for the US's war in Iran.Overall, though, there was a decent sense of unity and progress, and Ukraine, again, not a NATO member state, but a nation that hopes to eventually join NATO, received a warm welcome and a bunch of support, which hasn't always been the case at recent summits.Part of that warmth is likely the consequence of Ukraine's recent victories on and off the battlefield.Russian continues to pummel Ukrainian cities and kill Ukrainian soldiers and civilians en masse, but Ukraine has managed to keep them from gobbling up territory on scale, and in some recents months, has actually taken territory back. They've also gotten very good at successfully attacking Russian infrastructure, especially energy infrastructure, like oil refineries, cargo tankers, and energy storage facilities, across the entire expanse of Russia; something few experts would have predicted that Ukraine would be capable of doing at the beginning of this conflict. This has dramatically weakened Russia's economy, at least in the short-term.Ukraine now has a thriving defense industry, predicated on the rapid iteration of inexpensive but disproportionately sophisticated arms, especially drones and other aerial weapons, but also autonomous speed boats and other such asymmetric systems. Russia has been frantically upgrading its systems, too, but now that Ukraine has figured out methods for bypassing or overwhelming Russian defenses, it's been able to strike, quickly and repeatedly, high-value targets that have brought the war home to normal Russians who live far from the front lines, even in Moscow. That combined with strategies and weapons that have turned the frontlines into a meat-grinder for Russian soldiers has weighed heavily on Russian morale, at least for those with boots on the ground.As a consequence of those energy infrastructure attacks, the Russian government has been forced to ration some types of energy product—a huge embarrassment for a country that has at times been called a gas station run by a mafia, their energy products are fundamental to who they are, and their economy—and Russians in Crimea, which was taken from Ukraine more than a decade ago, have been fleeing, as this peninsula is close to Ukraine, is part of Ukraine, just occupied by Russia right now, and has several vulnerable arteries through which people and supplies are shipped from Russia, and those arteries have been frequently attacked and are difficult to protect.Ukraine is still persistently on the back foot, then, and still facing an enemy that has essentially every advantage, from money to manpower to foreign support to the size of its arsenal.Against all odds, though, Ukraine continues to not just hold its ground, but to build up its military capabilities, innovate on existing models, and perform high-leverage attacks against its in every way superior invader; which is, in turn, netting it more support from outside allies that have, at times, wavered—and that's especially true of the US under the Trump administration, but until recently the EU's support has also been hamstrung by the recently usurped Hungarian leader, and Putin ally, Viktor Orbán. Following Orbán's ouster, the EU was able to move forward with paused support commitments, though, and while Trump is still holding back on much of the same from the US, there's a chance that more success by Ukraine will continue to tip the balance away from total freeze-out, to more, and more substantial, if perhaps still grudging, support.Show Noteshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATOhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Ankara_NATO_summithttps://understandingwar.org/research/russia-ukraine/russian-occupation-update-july-9-2026/https://acleddata.com/monitor/ukraine-conflict-monitorhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russo-Ukrainian_war_(2022%E2%80%93present)https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/08/world/europe/a-license-to-make-patriot-defense-systems-may-be-a-big-boost-for-ukraine.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/06/world/europe/ukraine-russia-patriot-air-defense.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/07/04/world/europe/ukraine-russia-crimea-war-strikes.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/09/world/europe/ukraine-patriots-trump-russia.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/08/world/europe/russia-nato-europe-ukraine.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/07/world/europe/nato-trump-rutte-ankara-turkey.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/03/world/europe/putin-ukraine-donbas-battlefield-visit.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/03/world/europe/russia-gas-shortages.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/02/world/europe/russia-ukraine-military-battlefield.htmlhttps://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-war-oil-trump-zelenskyy-putin-6cb5602f1cf309533ed0cf5c734e19d8https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c70yd1g67z5ohttps://www.france24.com/en/russia-bans-oil-exports-as-ukraine-strikes-cause-fuel-shortageshttps://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/ukraine-creates-long-range-military-071810180.htmlhttps://www.cnbc.com/2026/07/10/ukraine-russia-crimea-fuel-oil.htmlhttps://www.dw.com/ru/reuters-rf-perekryla-azovodonskoj-kanal-posle-atak-bpla/a-77913327https://www.cnn.com/2026/07/10/politics/senators-agreement-trump-administration-russia-sanctionshttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jul/10/ukraine-war-briefing-kyiv-reaches-political-agreement-with-us-on-patriot-interceptor-production-licenceshttps://www.cnbc.com/2026/07/09/nato-trump-rutte-ukraine-russia-us-iran.htmlhttps://www.atlanticcouncil.org/dispatches/eleven-takeaways-from-the-nato-summit-in-ankara/https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/7/8/five-key-takeaways-from-the-nato-summit-in-ankarahttps://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/7/8/nato-pledges-70-billion-euros-for-ukraine-as-trump-praises-peace-progress This is a public episode.

Trump just declared the Iran peace deal is over and said he's done dealing with “sick people.” Iran attacked commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz, prompting President Trump to order U.S. airstrikes on over 80 Iranian targets. This comes after a preliminary peace deal signed in June that aimed to reopen shipping lanes and address Iran's nuclear program. But Iran violated it by pushing for control and fees over the vital waterway. At the NATO summit in Ankara, Trump didn't hold back, calling the Iranians scum, vicious, violent people, liars, cheats, and sick people. He made it clear he thinks it's over and doesn't want to waste any more time negotiating with them. Pat also covered: Pat Gray talks to Mitch McConnell for 6 hours over the phone???
