Ants automatic negative thinking
Taking Thoughts CaptiveThe Story of Martin Luther's Stand #RTTBROS #Nightlight"For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds)." — 2 Corinthians 10:3-4Last night we talked about those automatic negative thoughts, those ANTs that swarm through our minds. Tonight, I want to tell you about a man who understood this battle better than most: Martin Luther.Now, Luther was a monk who struggled terribly with his thoughts. He would spend hours in confession, sometimes confessing the same sins over and over because his mind kept telling him he wasn't truly forgiven, that he wasn't good enough, that God couldn't possibly love someone like him. His superior finally told him to stop coming to confession unless he had committed murder or blasphemy, something real to confess.But here's where Luther's story gets interesting. When he finally discovered the truth of justification by faith, when he understood that we're made right with God through faith in Christ alone, not by our works, everything changed. He realized that those thoughts that kept condemning him were lies. They were real thoughts, yes, but they weren't true thoughts.Luther used to say that you can't keep the birds from flying over your head, but you can keep them from building a nest in your hair. Sound familiar? He understood what Paul was teaching in 2 Corinthians 10, that we have weapons mighty through God for pulling down strongholds, for taking thoughts captive.Here's the thing about taking thoughts captive: you can't do it by just trying harder to think positive. That's not what Paul is talking about. He's talking about confronting those automatic negative thoughts with the truth of God's Word. It's not about pretending the thoughts aren't there or trying to force yourself to feel differently. It's about recognizing a lie when you hear one and standing your ground with truth.When that thought shows up telling you you're worthless, you don't have to argue with it or try to convince yourself otherwise. You just need to know what God says: "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people" (1 Peter 2:9). That's not positive thinking, that's truth thinking.When that automatic thought tells you you're all alone and nobody cares, you don't have to try to talk yourself out of feeling lonely. You just need to remember what Jesus said: "I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee" (Hebrews 13:5). Again, not positive thinking, truth thinking.Luther learned to fight his ANTs with Scripture. When those condemning thoughts would swarm, he would literally speak truth out loud. He'd say, "I am baptized. I am God's child. Christ died for me." Simple truths that cut through the lies like a sword.You see, you can't control the first thought that pops into your head, but you can control what you do with it. You can take it captive. You can hold it up against God's Word and say, "Does this match what God says about me? Does this match what God says about my situation?" If it doesn't, then it's a lie dressed up as a thought, and it needs to be taken prisoner.Tomorrow night, we'll talk about what to do for the long haul, because this isn't a one-time battle. But tonight, practice taking one thought captive. Just one. When that ANT shows up, grab hold of it with a truth from God's Word and don't let it run wild.Let's pray: Father, give us courage to confront the lies in our minds with Your truth. Help us to be quick to recognize when our thoughts are not lining up with Your Word. Teach us to fight with the weapon of truth. In Jesus' name, Amen

Summary: We know ants are farmers, but are they also ranchers? Join Kiersten to find out! For my hearing impaired followers, a complete transcript of this podcast follows the show notes on Podbean Show Notes: “Adventures Among Ants” by Mark W. Moffett “Trophobiosis is a tropical rainforest on Borneo: Giant ants Camponotus gigs (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) herd wax cicadas Bythopsyrna circulate (Auchenorrhyncha: Flatidae),” by Martin Pfeiffer and Karl Eduard Linsenmair “Aphid-farming ants,” by Annie B.

Eubanks Music written and performed by Katherine Camp Transcript (Piano music plays) Kiersten - This is Ten Things I Like About…a ten minute, ten episode podcast about unknown or misunderstood wildlife. (Piano music stops) Kiersten - Welcome to Ten Things I Like About… I'm Kiersten, your host, and this is a podcast about misunderstood or unknown creatures in nature. Some we'll find right out side our doors and some are continents away but all are fascinating. This podcast will focus ten, ten minute episodes on different animals and their amazing characteristics. Please join me on this extraordinary journey, you won't regret it. Two episodes ago we found out that ants are farmers, at least some species of ants are farmers and they are amazingly well organized and productive farmers. The other side of sustained food production is ranching. Ranching is a form of agriculture focused on raising livestock for various uses. Are ants ranchers? Let's find out! The eighth thing I like about ants is their ranching activities. For those of you listening in order, last episode we learned about the Weaver ants of Africa that live in trees. They are some of the coolest ants out there with special physical adaptations and behavioral adaptations that help them survive in the tree. One of the activities I didn't talk about, because I was saving it for this episode, is their ranching. The weaver ants, Oecophylla longinoda, use other insects as a form of food resources. Now they do hunt other insects and tear them apart and eat the bits, but they also corral certain insects and use the honeydew that those insects produce as food. Mealy bugs, plant hoppers, and scale insects are some of the “cattle” that Weaver ants utilize. These insects are all sap-sucking species that tap a plant for it's sap and drink it. The ants love the honeydew, or doo-doo, that comes out the other end of these insects. Yes, that's correct, the ants are eating their excrement which is actually more nutritious than nectar. The Weaver ants are protective of their livestock keeping them from harm and moving them to fresher pastures, just like human cowboys. They often build leaf tents over and around their charges keeping them hidden from predators and controlling their movements so they can gather the honeydew for as long as the insect lives. Who knew ants were ranchers? It's not only Weaver ants that exhibit this behavior. Some species of Formica ants are also ranchers. They will tend similar insects as the Weavers including Mealy bugs, plant hoppers, scale insects as well as whiteflies and aphids. I found several papers talking about the relationship between Formica ants and aphids. They really treat these aphids like humans treat cattle. The ants tend them, watching them to protect them from predators, they will pick them up and remove them from a plant when danger arises (okay humans can't pick up cattle, but we can escort them to another area when needed), and when the part of the plant that the aphids are eating from begins to run dry the ants will take them to greener pastures. The ants are after the honeydew, of course, the excrement from the aphids, just like the Weaver ants. It is high in concentrated sugars and carbohydrates that keep the ants running. Giant ants, Camponotus gigas, from the tropical forests of Borneo herd wax cicadas. They are incredibly well organized in their herding and perform three behaviors to help gather as much honeydew from these cicadas as possible. Some of the ants are collectors and spend about 80% of their time sitting below the cicadas to collect the honeydew as it comes out. Ants that spend their time collecting often focus on one cicada, returning to the same individual after each collection. There are also secondary gatherers that collect honeydew from the body parts of the primary collectors and receive honeydew via trophallaxis, or passing of regurgitated liquids to another insect. This allows the primary collectors to spend more time collecting directly from the cicadas. The secondary gatherers take the collected food back to the nest. A third worker might sometimes stand in front of the cicada and perform what the researchers called “antennating from ahead”. One or more ants will sit in front of the cicada or next to it and gently tap it with its antenna. At times this seems to encourage the cicadas to pass honeydew more frequently, but sometimes it didn't do anything, except possibly annoy the cicada. It's so interesting that these Giant ants of Borneo have adapted such specialized behaviors to collect excrement from another insect. It may seem like the ants may be controlling the aphids or cicadas and taking advantage of their production, which is not entirely false. Many ant colonies restrict the movement of their insects just like humans do with cattle, allowing them to go only where they want them to go, but its not always bad for the cattle. Aphids are not the most cleanly insects and they congregate in large groups, as any gardener listening to this episode will tell you. A group of aphids can suck a plant dry! Anyways, the ants retrieve the honeydew almost immediately once it is excreted. This is an advantage to the aphids, because it cuts down on fungus that can grow on the excrement and sicken the aphids. The ants are also protecting them from predators. Some ants remove Ladybugs, their larvae, and pupae from the plants that the aphids have chosen to feed upon. Ladybugs love a juicy aphid! Parasitic wasps that feed on aphids are also on the ants' radar. One of the questions that researchers have about this mutualistic relationship is whether it's obligate or facultative. Turns out it can be both. Facultative mutualism is a relationship where both parties benefit from each other's company but do not rely on each other. The previous discussion is an example of this. The Formica ants tending these aphids can walk away and find food elsewhere and the aphids can also go about their business without the ant ranchers. Obligate mutualism is when one or both parties is reliant on the other for survival. Some ants and aphids have evolved to rely on the other for survival. Some species of aphids and other insects have lost their ability to protect themselves without the help of ants. Some ants rely on the aphids and other sects to provide honeydew, they have lost the ability to go out and look for other food. Certain aphids live inside the ant colony and have lost the ability to grow wings and fly to find a mate. They just reproduce asexually throughout their entire lives and never the the ant colony at all. If these aphids left the ant nest, they would not survive. I guess we have proven that ants can be ranchers, as well as farmers. Thanks for joining me for this episode of ants as ranching is my eighth favorite thing about them. If you're enjoying this podcast please recommend me to friends and family and take a moment to give me a rating on whatever platform your listening.

Malgré la baisse des cours du brut, les géants du pétrole continuent à enregistrer des bénéfices. La forte augmentation des quotas de l'Organisation des pays exportateurs de pétrole et ses alliés (Opep+) et l'anticipation d'un excédent d'offre ont pesé sur les cours. Et pourtant, TotalEnergies a vu son bénéfice net bondir de plus de 60 % au troisième trimestre, à 3,7 milliards de dollars. Comment le groupe français y est parvenu ? En augmentant les volumes. La production d'hydrocarbures du géant français a augmenté de plus de 4 %. Mais aussi en améliorant les marges grâce au raffinage en Europe. TotalEnergies est présent sur toute la chaîne de valeur du pétrole et du gaz, de l'extraction aux activités de raffinage. Si les cours mondiaux de l'or noir ont reculé entre juillet et septembre, les marges européennes sur le raffinage des carburants, elles, ont bondi de plus de 300 %. Et pour cause : l'embargo de l'Union européenne sur les importations de carburants issus du pétrole russe avait restreint l'offre au moment où la demande de diesel augmentait pendant la saison des départs en vacances. Les raffineries ont tourné à plein régime. Les dividendes distribués aux actionnaires Les marges ainsi engrangées permettent à TotalEnergies de choyer ses actionnaires. Et ce via le rachat d'actions qui permet d'accroître le bénéfice par action et soutenir le cours de l'entreprise en bourse. Après 2,3 milliards de dollars de rachats d'actions réalisés au troisième trimestre, un nouveau programme de rachat de titres jusqu'à 1,5 milliard de dollars a été annoncé par le groupe français fin septembre. Son concurrent britannique Shell a, lui aussi, annoncé de généreuses distributions à ses actionnaires, d'un montant nettement supérieur au français. C'est la production record au large des côtes brésiliennes qui a permis au groupe britannique d'augmenter ses bénéfices à 5,32 milliards de dollars. Bénéfices supérieurs aux attentes Pour ExxonMobil et Chevron, deux géants du secteur pétrolier aux États-Unis, des bénéfices supérieurs aux attentes grâce, une fois de plus, à une production record. Dans ce contexte, les pétroliers mettent un frein à leurs investissements. Selon le cabinet Wood Mackenzie, les investissements globaux des majors devraient reculer de 4 % en 2025, à un peu plus de 340 milliards de dollars. Moins d'investissements dans les énergies vertes Ce qui n'est pas sans conséquence pour la transition énergétique. C'est l'effet pervers de la baisse des cours du pétrole. Les grands groupes cherchent à préserver la rentabilité et la confiance des investisseurs aux dépens de leurs engagements en faveur des énergies renouvelables. Le groupe britannique BP, notamment, confirme avoir réduit de moitié ses financements bas-carbone. Cela inquiète les défenseurs du climat à une semaine de la COP30 qui s'ouvre au Brésil le 10 novembre prochain. 2024 a été une année la plus chaude jamais enregistrée depuis le début de l'ère industrielle.

Summary: How do colonies of ants live in trees? Find out in this episode about arboreal ants. For my hearing impaired followers, a complete transcript of this podcast follows the show notes on Podbean Show Notes: “Adventures Among Ants” by Mark W. Moffett Music written and performed by Katherine Camp Transcript (Piano music plays) Kiersten - This is Ten Things I Like About…a ten minute, ten episode podcast about unknown or misunderstood wildlife. (Piano music stops) Kiersten - Welcome to Ten Things I Like About… I'm Kiersten, your host, and this is a podcast about misunderstood or unknown creatures in nature. Some we'll find right out side our doors and some are continents away but all are fascinating. This podcast will focus ten, ten minute episodes on different animals and their amazing characteristics. Please join me on this extraordinary journey, you won't regret it. We are rounding the bend with the ants series and there is no better way to do that than to take to the sky. The title of this episode is Arboreal Ants. There are ants that live in trees and never touch terrestrial earth their entire lives. You thought the Leafcutter ants were amazing, well hold on to your hat because the seventh thing I like about ants is the colonies that live in the trees. Arboreal ants, which are ants that live in trees, are found on many different continents and there is more than one species, but we are going to focus on one species in particular so we can really see their amazing qualities in detail. We're spending some time with the Weaver ants of Africa, Oecophylla longinoda. Now living in a tree for an ant is no small feat, so how do they do it? Terrestrial ants dig into the dirt and create many chambered nests. It's kind of difficult to dig into a tree, so where are arboreal ants living? Weaver ant nests are most common in the outer, uppermost branches of trees where the sun light is bright. Here, the ants will bind adjacent healthy leaves together to create a treetop tent. The size of each nest will vary but is often between the size of baseball or a volleyball. They are as light as an inflated ballon and can withstand wind, rain, and enemy invasions. To begin building a nest, a worker ant will pull the edge of a leaf toward the edge of another leaf. If her bending is successful other workers will come to her aide. Now weaver ants get their name from the next step. To keep the leaves together they employ their larvae. If you're think, “What?” I hear ya! The larvae are picked up by workers and taken to the edge of the leaf connection. The workers tap the larvae on the leaf to encourage the larvae to release silk. Yes, the larvae of many species of ants create silk. The Weaver ants use this silk to secure the leaves together. The motion of shuttling the larvae back and forth to connect the leaves with the silk is where the weaving comes in. The nests may last for years because when one leaf dies the ants will just weave in another living one. The nests are larger enough to house thousands of ants, but the weaver ants don't have just one nest in the tree. They travel all over the tree that they call home, so they often build other trees op tents so they can maximize their resources. They don't stick to one central nest, they have the ability to move around when they need to. One territory can have multiple nests. The queen is often in a nest that is the most centralized to the territory, but her eggs are distributed throughout all the nests. With all of these spread out workers, Weaver ants have to have an excellent communication strategy. And boy, do they! Earlier we learned that pheromones are integral to ant communication. It's the same with weaver ants, but they have a specialized gland that helps the pheromones that they use to create their paths last longer than terrestrial ants. They have an anal gland that helps them make their poop a bit more than just poop. To keep their pathways from wearing away too quickly, weaver ants use their feces to create longterm smell paths. The droplets of worker excrement hardens into a shellac like substance that can last for months. This form of communication also allows these ants to do something most other ants do not, defend a specific territory. Weaver ants are known to defend their treetop territories from other ants they encounter. With the pheromone lines drawn already it gives them an advantage in skirmishes. Their scent is already laid down. If a weaver ant encounters an enemy worker, she will race back to more familiar territory to recruit help. She does this by mimicking fighting motions and other workers will follow her prepared for battle. So what do weaver ants eat? This species of ant is omnivorous. They eat both meat and veggies. One of the coolest things they target is nectaries created by trees. These are spots on the leaves of trees that seep nectar. This isn't like the sap that leaks from the tree's bark, this is like the nectar that a flower produces. When they find a nectary, the weaver ants will built a tent around it to hide it from other animals that might be interested in this pot of gold as well. Weaver ants do eat meat in the form of other insects, Mark Moffett retells an experience he had in Cambodia as he watched some local Oecophylla drag a 5 cm long scorpion up a tree to pull it apart, as well as other meat items such as birds, bats, and other ants. The protein is eaten mainly by the larvae while adults typically consume sap and nectar. Does the tree benefit from the ants in residence or are they detrimental? This is a question that ecologists try to answer through cost/benefit analysis. Some benefits to the tree are weaver ants culling leaf eating insects before they can defoliate the tree. Foliage lasts longer in areas where the weaver ants live. The ants also provide a bit of fertilizer to the tree as well by pooping on the leaves. Trees can absorb some nutrients through their leaves. On the cost side, some of the leaves the weaver ants use to create their nests are permanently lost, but considering the small percentage of leave the ants use, I think the benefits outweigh the costs. I hope this quick foray into the treetops with these arboreal ants was worth it, because treetop living ants is my seventh favorite thing about ants.

En 2025, la version reine, la “TOR330”, s'est déroulée du 14 au 20 septembre, sur environ 330 km avec plus de 24 000 m de dénivelé positif, un temps limite de 150 heures et un départ/arrivée à Courmayeur. Anne-Charlotte nous raconte comment elle s'est préparée, comment elle a géré sa vie de famille, son entreprise de séjours de trail, tout en s'engageant sur cette aventure hors-norme. Elle partage ses moments de doute, ses éclats de joie, ses stratégies pour tenir dans la durée, et ce que cette course lui a révélé sur elle-même.Un épisode pour tous ceux qui aiment la montagne, les défis extrêmes, et surtout, la vie intense que l'on mène quand on ose combiner passion, famille et entreprise.Pour contacter Anne-Charlotte et en savoir plus sur ses séjours de trail running: @altatrek sur Instagram.Bonne écoute!
Avec Grokipedia, Elon Musk jure de détrôner Wikipedia, fleuron de l'accès au savoir et du partage de connaissances sur internet. Quelle crédibilité accorder à une encyclopédie en ligne propulsée par l'IA ? Le milliardaire américain n'est pas seul à s'en prendre à Wikipedia. Les attaques informationnelles se multiplient à l'encontre de l'encyclopédie en ligne, alors que celle-ci s'apprête à fêter ses 25 ans d'existence. Le lancement de Grokipedia, une nouvelle encyclopédie en ligne, propulsée par l'intelligence artificielle est imminent ! Annonce faite par Elon Musk cette semaine. Le patron de xAi en profite pour tacler Wikipedia, qu'il accuse de partialité. Avec nos invités, nous revenons sur cette cabale anti-Wikipedia. Le milliardaire américain n'est pas seul à s'en prendre à cette entreprise de partage du savoir en ligne. Des initiatives visant à modifier les articles par effraction, sont régulièrement détectées. Comment l'encyclopédie en ligne, indétrônable depuis bientôt un quart de siècle résiste-t-elle à ces attaques informationnelles ? Nos invités sont Rémy Gerbet, directeur exécutif de Wikimedia France, Jordan Ricker, directeur des opérations d'Opsci.ai, une PME française spécialiste de la lutte informationnelle, et Marc Fadoul, chercheur en Intelligence artificielle, spécialiste des systèmes de recommandation. L'organisation qu'il a co-fondée, AI Forensics enquête sur l'influence opaque des algorithmes. Autre bataille de géants du numérique et de l'intelligence artificielle : Sam Altman, le patron d'Open Ai a lancé ce mardi (21 octobre 2025) Atlas. Le nouveau navigateur entièrement construit sur Chat GPT s'attaque lui à la suprématie de Google chrome. Marc Fadoul évoque les risques que comporte cette volonté de puissance des IA génératives, qui tentent de sortir du simple rôle de chatbot ou agent conversationnel. Enfin, côté images, ce sont les vidéos de Sora 2 qui déboulent sur les réseaux sociaux. Avec elles, de quoi bien s'amuser mais aussi désinformer en masse. Un cap est franchi dans le perfectionnement des IA génératives d'images, c'est la chronique de Grégory Genevrier de la cellule info vérif de RFI : Sora 2: le générateur de vidéos par IA qui a tout pour devenir une usine à infox.
Our journey through the years of "radio's outstanding theatre of thrills" ends with my favorite installments from the final years of Suspense. Ray Bradbury presents a terrifying tale of a popular new kids' game in "Zero Hour" (originally aired on April 5, 1955), and a pharmacist races to correct a potentially fatal error in "To None a Deadly Drug" (originally aired on CBS on October 25, 1955). A man meticulously plots how to dispose of his wife's body in "Variations on a Theme" (originally aired on CBS on February 7, 1956), and William Conrad delivers a tour de force one-man performance in "The Waxwork" (originally aired on CBS on May 1, 1956). A postal inspector tries to intercept a bomb before it reaches its intended target in "Fragile: Contents Death" (originally aired on CBS on May 22, 1956), and DeForest Kelley is a talent agent who finds an act to die for in "Flesh Peddler" (originally aired on CBS on August 4, 1957). A defiant man stares down an army of ravenous ants in "Leiningen vs. the Ants" (originally aired on CBS on August 25, 1957), and anybody could be a killer on a train in "The Man Who Murders People" (originally aired on CBS on November 13, 1960).

First up on the podcast, Contributing Correspondent Kai Kupferschmidt takes a trip to Svalbard, an Arctic archipelago where ancient RNA viruses may lie buried in the permafrost. He talks with host Sarah Crespi about why we only have 100 years of evolutionary history for viruses such as coronavirus and influenza, and what we can learn by looking deeper back in time. Next on the show, Nathalie Stroeymeyt, senior lecturer at the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Bristol, joins freelancer producer Elah Feder to talk about how humans aren't the only species that takes public health measures to stop outbreaks. To keep their colonies healthy when threatened with infectious disease, ants socially distance and even make architectural changes to their nests' organization.

Many communities face an uneven food landscape: plenty of cheap junk food, but few places to buy fresh, healthy food. This pattern—often called “food apartheid”—doesn't happen by accident; it grows from redlining, unfair rules, and corporate control. The impacts are steep: higher rates of type 2 diabetes, kidney failure, and learning problems in Black, Latino, and Indigenous communities, along with unsafe conditions for farmworkers. These harms have a long history, and government subsidies and convincing marketing keep ultraprocessed foods on top. However, we take practical steps to make change including investing in regenerative and community farms, protecting and fairly paying farmworkers, and enforcing civil-rights laws so public dollars support real food, healthy soil, and communities that thrive. In this episode, Leah Penniman, Dr. Rupa Marya, Raj Patel, Karen Washington, and I discuss why food injustices exist and how we can create regenerative food systems to serve everyone. Leah Penniman is a Black Kreyol educator, farmer/peyizan, author, and food justice activist from Soul Fire Farm in Grafton, NY. She co-founded Soul Fire Farm in 2010 with the mission to end racism in the food system and reclaim our ancestral connection to land. As co-Executive Director, Leah is part of a team that facilitates powerful food sovereignty programs - including farmer training for Black & Brown people, a subsidized farm food distribution program for communities living under food apartheid, and domestic and international organizing toward equity in the food system. Leah has been farming since 1996, holds an MA in Education and a BA in Environmental Science from Clark University, and is a Manye (Queen Mother) in Vodun. Dr. Rupa Marya is a physician, activist, mother, and composer. She is an Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco where she practices and teaches Internal Medicine. Her research examines the health impacts of social systems, from agriculture to policing. She is a co-founder of the Do No Harm Coalition, a collective of health workers committed to addressing disease through structural change. At the invitation of Lakota health leaders, she is currently helping to set up the Mni Wiconi Health Clinic and Farm at Standing Rock in order to decolonize medicine and food. Raj Patel is a Research Professor at the University of Texas at Austin's Lyndon B Johnson School of Public Affairs, a professor in the University's department of nutrition, and a Research Associate at Rhodes University, South Africa. He is the author of Stuffed and Starved, the New York Times bestselling The Value of Nothing, co-author of A History of the World in Seven Cheap Things. A James Beard Leadership Award winner, he is the co-director of the award-winning documentary about climate change and the food system, The Ants & The Grasshopper. Karen is a farmer, activist, and food advocate. She is the Co-owner and Farmer at Rise & Root Farm in Chester, New York. In 2010, Karen Co-Founded Black Urban Growers (BUGS), an organization supporting growers in both urban and rural settings. In 2012, Ebony magazine voted her one of the 100 most influential African Americans in the country, and in 2014 Karen was the recipient of the James Beard Leadership Award. Karen serves on the boards of the New York Botanical Gardens, SoulFire Farm, the Mary Mitchell Center, Why Hunger, and Farm School NYC. This episode is brought to you by BIOptimizers.

Ілля Несходовський, керівник аналітичного напряму мережі захисту національних інтересів ANTS, на Radio NV про справжній шанс демонтувати військову економіку Росії, про що каже бувший директор ЦРУ Девід Петреус, чому 19 пакет санкцій стане найбільш важким для Кремля, про тотальні наслідки для ринків світу, що спричинила заява Трампа та настільки низьку ціну на нафту, якої Росія ще не бачила, про ситуацію з введенням санкцій на Китай та чому не все так просто між Європою та США, про країни, що домовилися використовувати заморожені активи Росії на користь України, а також якими можуть бути подальші дії Трампа щодо Путіна та Росії.Ведучий – Дмитро Тузов
