Podcasts about Appeasement

Following on from J.D. Vance's bracing speech in 2025, Secretary of State Marco Rubio called on European allies to resist the managed decline of the West at the 2026 Munich Security Conference this week. The welfare state is a slow moving trainwreck. Appeasement of climate cultists stunts economies. Mass migration threatens to disrupt our civilization. Playing good cop to the VP's bad cop, Rubio outlined America's vision to revive the spirit and strength of the shared Western project. Plus: The guys discuss the Left's compassion fatigue, Hungary's coming election, and the legacy of the late Dr. Mickey Gene Craig: teacher, mentor, and friend.Recommended:Secretary of State Marco Rubio at the Munich Security ConferenceGeorge Washington's Farewell AddressHungary and the Future of EuropeWhy Hasn't Brexit Happened?

Drawing from personal experience, organizational patterns, and hard-earned lessons, Avetis breaks down why servant leadership is not softness, appeasement, or conflict avoidance. Instead, he argues, real servant leadership demands courage, accountability, and an unwavering commitment to helping people reach excellence even when it requires uncomfortable conversations.Throughout the episode, Avetis contrasts servant leadership with authoritative leadership, clarifying why authority is not about ego or control but about clarity, ownership, and decision-making. He explains how appeasement quietly erodes standards, frustrates high performers, and ultimately harms the very people leaders believe they're protecting. Using relatable examples from workplace dynamics to parenting to team performance he illustrates how delayed feedback, avoided conflict, and diluted expectations damage careers and undermine culture.Listeners will walk away with a clearer understanding of what true service looks like in leadership, how to course-correct if they've fallen into appeasement, and the self-reflective questions every leader should be asking. A must-listen for anyone serious about leading with honesty, courage, and long-term impact.TakeawaysServant leadership is not softness it requires courage, standards, and accountability.Appeasement disguises itself as kindness but ultimately weakens teams and leaders.Great leaders challenge people directly because they care, not despite it.Avoiding tough conversations delays the truth and harms long-term performance.Accountability is a form of respect; letting people off the hook is not.Authority is not about control it equals clarity, ownership, and decisive action.High performers become frustrated when leaders tolerate underperformance in others.Appeasement normalizes mediocrity and lowers the performance bar for the entire team.Early, honest feedback prevents skill gaps from widening into career-limiting issues.Leaders must choose between being liked and being trusted the two are not the same.Resetting a culture requires public acknowledgment, clear standards, and consistent feedback.True servant leadership is uncomfortable, demanding, and essential for building organizations that last.Chapters00:00 Introduction: The Misconceptions of Servant Leadership01:20 Why Softness Isn't Leadership02:40 Appeasement vs. Accountability04:10 Leadership Confusion in Modern Workplaces05:45 Radical Candor and Challenging with Care07:20 What Servant Leadership Actually Is09:00 Authority: Why It Matters and What It Really Means11:00 The Hidden Dangers of Appeasement13:00 How Underperformance Becomes Normalized14:45 Career Damage Caused by Avoidance16:20 Self-Assessment for Leaders: Tough Questions17:40 How to Reset Standards and Rebuild Culture18:45 Closing Thoughts: Courage, Clarity, and Long-Term LeadershipResources and Links:⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.hireclout.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.podcast.hireclout.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/hirefasthireright⁠

Lord Roberts explains how wartime socialism, propaganda, and unrealistic expectations laid the foundations for decades of economic stagnation.The discussion explores Britain's post-war decline, austerity, debt, and the illusion of prosperity created by Lend-Lease, Marshall Plan aid, and Keynesian economics. We examine why Germany and Japan rebuilt faster than Britain, how trade unions and high taxation crippled growth, and why successive governments chose to manage decline rather than confront it.We also discuss immigration, the welfare state, deindustrialisation, and how the failures of the 1945 settlement echo through Brexit, Trump, globalisation, and the collapse of the rules-based international order. Lord Roberts reflects on NATO, the United Nations, American power, and why the West now faces a historic turning point.A wide-ranging and authoritative conversation about history, power, leadership, and whether Britain can rediscover the courage to reverse its long decline.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------WATCH EXTENDED CONVERSATION HERE: https://open.substack.com/pub/winstonmarshall/p/why-winston-churchill-lost-the-1945?r=18lfab&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 00:00 Introduction 02:23 Why did Churchill lose the 1945 Election05:00 Appeasement, Blame & the Conservative Collapse06:34 The Beveridge Report & the Dream of a New Jerusalem10:51 War Socialism, Lend-Lease & National Delusion12:36 Bankruptcy, Austerity & Britain's Financial Reality14:28 Why Germany & Japan Recovered Faster17:24 Keynes, American Loans & Avoiding Collapse22:23 The Marshall Plan & Stopping European Communism24:09 Learning the Wrong Lessons from Victory28:04 Trade Unions, Inflation & the Road to the 1970s33:24 Immigration After the War & Changing Britain39:35 Corelli Barnett & Britain's Long Economic Decline54:43 The Revolt Against the 1945 Settlement1:07:43 Leadership, Thatcher & Britain's Future Hosted on Acast.

DIPLOMATIC FAILURES AND SOVIET INFILTRATION IN 1939 Colleague Charles Spicer. By early 1939, British efforts to maintain peace were hampered by disastrous appointments, specifically the pro-appeasement ambassador Neville Henderson in Berlin and the increasingly irrational and Anglophobic Ribbentrop in London. Intelligence provided by Philip Conwell-Evans and Graham Christie reached Foreign Secretary Halifax, who began to doubt Chamberlain's appeasement policy as he moved closer to Churchill's position. Meanwhile, the Anglo-German Fellowship faced internal contradictions, such as a controversial dinner for a Nazi women's leader, which Halifaxadvised against cancelling to keep communication channels open. The narrative also reveals that left-wing opposition to these efforts was manipulated by Soviet intelligence, as exemplified by "Simon Haxey," the author of Tory MP, who was later exposed as a recruiter for Soviet spies.

We are used to thinking about Christmas in the story of a little baby. But was Jesus just the "meek and mild" person who came to die on the Cross for our sins? That story is true, but there's much more, and it shows in current events. The evil at Brown University and Bondi Beach are just the opening evil acts. The responses to those acts are just as evil.

Das traditionelle Konzept des Stockholm-Syndroms oder der Trauma-Bindung werden seit Jahrzehnten verwendet, um zu erklären, warum Menschen in Gefangenschaft, Missbrauch oder extremer Abhängigkeit scheinbar positive Gefühle oder "Bindung" zu ihren Tätern entwickeln. Doch die Fachliteratur kritisiert den Begriff: Er ist unscharf, stigmatisierend und vermittelt einen falschen Eindruck von psychologischer „Bindung“. Der Fachartikel "Appeasement: Replacing Stockholm Syndrome as a Definition of a Survival Strategy " schlägt deshalb ein neues, neurobiologisch fundiertes Konzept vor. Appeasement beschreibt ein Muster biologischer Unterwerfung und Beschwichtigung, das entsteht, wenn ein Organismus keine andere Überlebensstrategie mehr hat. Das zentrale Erklärungsmodell dafür liefert die Polyvagal-Theorie. Ein Nervensystem löst Trauma Bonding erst, wenn es neue Sicherheit erlebt.

In Zeiten wachsender politischer Polarisierung und gesellschaftlicher Spannungen stehen Führungskräfte vor einer zentralen Frage: Wofür stehen wir – und wofür stehen wir ein? In dieser neuen Podcast-Episode analysiert Niels Brabandt, internationaler Leadership-Experte, Unternehmensberater und Gründer von NB Networks, warum werteorientierte Führung heute entscheidender ist denn je. Ausgehend von aktuellen Entwicklungen in Deutschland – darunter der Versuch des Verbands der Familienunternehmen, die Brandmauer zur AfD aufzubrechen – zeigt Niels Brabandt, wie gefährlich Pseudogründe, opportunistische Entscheidungen und fehlende Haltung für Organisationen werden können. Anhand historischer und aktueller Beispiele (C&A-Katastrophe in Bangladesch, Ergo-Skandal, Compliance-Versagen) macht er deutlich, wie wiederkehrende Muster entstehen, wenn Werte nur behauptet, aber nicht gelebt werden. Diese Episode liefert Antworten auf Fragen, die Entscheiderinnen und Entscheider dringend stellen müssen: Warum „wertelos handeln" unmöglich ist – und welche Werte tatsächlich eine Organisation steuern. Wie Führungskräfte durch Schweigen oder Appeasement ihre eigene Glaubwürdigkeit unterminieren. Warum Gespräche mit extremistischen Akteuren keine demokratische Verpflichtung, sondern ein demokratisches Risiko darstellen. Welche Rolle Mission, Vision und Werte in moderner Führung wirklich spielen – jenseits von Marketing-Slogans. Wie Organisationen eine authentische Kultur entwickeln, in der Werte sichtbar, überprüfbar und wirksam gelebt werden. Niels Brabandt zeigt: Wertearbeit ist kein Wohlfühlprojekt, sondern harte, strategische Führungsarbeit. Sie entscheidet darüber, ob Teams Führung akzeptieren, ob Organisationen Vertrauen behalten – und ob Unternehmen langfristig bestehen. Eine unverzichtbare Episode für alle, die Verantwortung tragen, Entscheidungen treffen und ihre Organisation glaubwürdig in die Zukunft führen wollen.

5. Western Appeasement of 2014: Crimea Annexation and the Flawed Minsk Accords. Serhii Plokhy (Professor of Ukrainian History at Harvard University) examines the Western reaction to the annexation of Crimea in February 2014, following the appearance of "little green men." Professor Plokhy asserts that had the West reacted to the Crimean annexation with the same severity as they did to the 2022 invasion, the major war might have been avoided. Instead, the collective West treated Crimea as an isolated exception, drawing a historical parallel to the 1930s Anschluss of Austria, and mistakenly believed that Putin would stop there. This flawed assumption led Germany to pursue economic ties like Nord Stream 2, hoping escalation would be less likely. Moreover, NATO's policy was to pacify Russia by not placing military units close to its borders, leaving the alliance with "very little to respond with" in 2014. Although the annexation was quickly followed by Russian-concocted violence in Donbas, leading to a massive Russian counterattack in summer 2014, the West pursued the Minsk II agreements. These agreements were often implemented according to Russia's interpretation: requiring elections first under Russian military control, intended to create a "Trojan horse" to destabilize Ukraine and preclude its movement toward the EU or NATO. This approach was closely related to the "policies of appeasement of the 1930s." 1840 KHIV

8. The West's 2014 Appeasement: The Failure to Respond to Crimean Annexation. Serhii Plokhy (Professor of Ukrainian History at Harvard University) focuses on the annexation of Crimea in 2014 via "brute force" and the Western response. Professor Plokhy suggests that if NATO's reaction to Crimea had been commensurate with its response to the 2022 invasion, the current large-scale war might have been avoided. Instead, the West treated the annexation as an exception, comparing it to the 1930s Anschluss of Austria, believing Putin would cease aggression after securing the Russian-majority region. This thinking was a mistake; for example, Germany continued pursuing Nord Stream 2, based on the failed premise that economic ties guaranteed peace. NATO's overall policy was designed to pacify Russia and avoid placing military units near its borders, resulting in NATO having "very little to respond with" when the annexation occurred. Russia quickly moved beyond Crimea, concocting uprisings in Donbas, leading to a massive Russian counterattack against Ukrainian forces in the summer of 2014. This led to the Minsk II agreements, which NATO backed. However, Russia exploited Minsk II by insisting on holding elections first under its military control—a plan intended to insert a "Trojan horse" into Ukraine's political body to destabilize it and block its Euro-Atlantic integration. This resembled the policies of appeasement seen in the 1930s. 1855 BRITISH ARMY CRIMEA

“A great war can hardly be avoided any longer.” This is the story of Nazi Germany's aggressive territorial expansion and the start of WWII.   The Treaty of Versailles has long been a thorn in Adolf Hitler's side. Its troublesome limits on troops and technology pose challenges for a man bent on taking lebensraum and building a Grossdeuschland by any means necessary. So he starts quietly building planes and submarines. Then he starts publicly adding a few hundred thousand more soldiers. By 1936, he's ready to move. He remilitarizes the Rhineland. When that goes well, he only grows bolder. He takes Austria. He takes Czechoslovakia's Sudetenland.  Many European leaders—particularly those not named Winston Churchill—fail to grasp just how far the Fuhrer will go. They hope to “appease” him. But when Adolf strikes again, brazenly seizing the rest of Czechoslovakia, even British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain is ready to draw a line. That line is Poland.Connect with us on HTDSpodcast.com and go deep into episode bibliographies and book recommendations join discussions in our Facebook community get news and discounts from The HTDS Gazette  come see a live show get HTDS merch or become an HTDS premium member for bonus episodes and other perks.

This week on Saving America,

Kurz vor dem Gipfeltreffen zwischen den USA und Russland in Alaska dreht der Berliner Hauptstadtjournalismus noch einmal so richtig auf. Die eigene Deutungshoheit in der Ukrainepolitik befindet sich im freien Fall und man sieht seine Felle davonschwimmen. Nun übt man sich auch noch in Küchenpsychologie und feiert Merz' „Krisendiplomatie“. Das lädt zum Fremdschämen ein. EinenWeiterlesen

Russia's irredentist claims on its former holding Alaska have provided fodder for comedians, but the stakes at the Trump-Putin meeting in the Last Frontier are no laughing matter. Despite the escalating mutual nuclear threats between Washington and Moscow, Trump's call for a Russia-Ukraine "land-swap" obviously means Kyiv being forced to accept Moscow's annexation of much of its territory in exchange for the return of other pieces its own territory illegally occupied by Russia. Meanwhile, Moscow sends drones to threaten NATO member Lithuania, which sits on the critical corridor to the Russian exclave (and tactical missile outpost) of Kalningrad. Germany has responded by sending troops to the Baltic country—its first post-war foreign deployment. Appeasement of aggression failed to win peace at Munich in 1938, and there's no reason to hope it will in Alaska today. But the difference is that the contending powers today have nuclear weapons.

On July 30, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that, come September, Canada will officially recognize Palestine as a state, during the United Nations General Assembly meetings in New York. In making the announcement in Ottawa earlier this week, Carney said he had received three “commitments” from the head of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas: to hold elections in 2026, to reform the P.A.'s governance and to demilitarize the territories. Carney said Canada couldn't wait any longer for a two-state solution to happen on its own, and needed to act quickly. Why? Because Hamas continues to pose a “pervasive threat” to Israel and its right to exist after the “heinous terrorist attack of October 7, 2023.” But he also blamed Israel for planning to expand settlements and annex the West Bank, for letting extremist settlers continue attacking Palestinians, and for allowing a humanitarian crisis to unfold in Gaza. The news has Canadian Jews divided. Some mainstream organizations reacted to the news with alarm; B'nai Brith Canada called the decision “dangerously premature”, while the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs warned of “another failed Palestinian pseudo-state controlled by terrorists”, adding their deep concern that the recognition doesn't hinge on the release of the hostages and the removal of Hamas first. Meanwhile, some progressive Jewish groups commended Carney for the move, including Canadian Friends of Peace Now and JSpace Canada. The latter praised “this significant and courageous step” as being “shared by the majority of Canadian Jews,” and that a two-state solution “remains the only just and sustainable resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.” On today's episode of The CJN's North Star podcast, host Ellin Bessner speaks with two senior international affairs analysts on opposite sides of the issue. Alan Kessel is a former Canadian diplomat and legal advisor to Global Affairs Canada, and his former colleague Jon Allen was Canadian ambassador to Israel from 2006-2010.

Edition No151 | 05-06-2025 - Trump is apparently annoyed with both Putin and Zelenskyy, according to aides, but his approbation and ire is especially reserved for Zelenskyy, who Trump is said to consider “a bad guy”, “who will lead the world to the brink of nuclear war.” This is a narrative likely planted in his head by Vladimir Putin, who has once again apparently exerted an extraordinary amount of influence over Trump's words and action, after ‘another' of their infamous phone calls. This special hostility of Trump towards Zelenskyy likely has many origins. But envy of Ukrainian President's clear leadership qualities and charisma, his authority among other world leaders, and refusal to abandon his truth for the expediency of sucking up to Trump play a role. We must not lose sight in the face of Trump's comments, or the iniquitous both siding that some of the media falls into, that Ukraine is in face the defender, the victim and Russia the aggressor. Ukraine attacks military targets, sometimes the very equipment used to deliver death and destruction to Ukrainian cities, and Russians mostly choose to hit civilian targets.----------Links: https://kyivindependent.com/putin-casts-doubt-on-peace-talks-accuses-ukraine-of-deadly-bridge-attack-in-russia/https://kyivindependent.com/trump-urges-senate-to-postpone-vote-on-russia-sanctions-bill/https://kyivindependent.com/ukraine-strike-on-russian-bombers-could-escalate-war-kellogg-says/https://kyivindependent.com/for-the-first-time-pentagon-chief-to-skip-ramstein-format-meeting-of-ukraines-allies/https://kyivindependent.com/trump-administration-redirecting-anti-drone-tech-from-ukraine-to-us-forces-in-middle-east-wsj-reports/https://kyivindependent.com/russia-launches-over-48-000-aerial-attacks-in-6-months-zelensky-says/----------SUMMER FUNDRAISERSNAFO & Silicon Curtain community - Let's help help 5th SAB together https://www.help99.co/patches/nafo-silicon-curtain-communityWe are teaming up with NAFO 69th Sniffing Brigade to provide 2nd Assault Battalion of 5th SAB with a pickup truck that they need for their missions.

CBS News president Wendy McMahon has stepped down from her post as tensions escalate over ongoing Paramount Global-Trump settlement talks. With the deal already under scrutiny from senators, what’s in store for Shari Redstone's Skydance merger? Kim Masters and Matt Belloni dive into this and more major media shake-up stories. Plus, Masters talks to director Matt Wolf about Pee-wee as Himself, which looks beyond the iconic character to the complicated man who created him. The two-part series draws from more than 40 hours of Wolf’s interviews with Paul Reubens, who spent much of his life guarding his privacy. The filmmaker also explains how those conversations revealed Reubens’ inner conflicts and why HBO pushed for more when it came to telling the late actor’s story.

Ever said, “No worries, it's fine,” when it absolutely wasn't fine? Or maybe you've pushed down your needs and shape-shifted into whoever you thought you needed to be in a particular situation. That's not kindness. That's fawning—people-pleasing's sneakier, brain-based cousin. In this episode, neuroscientist and author of Rewire, Nicole Vignola, joins me for a juicy, no-fluff convo about why we fawn, what's going on in the brain when we do it, and how to unhook from this exhausting survival pattern. Nicole shares real talk from her own relationships, where she caught herself over-functioning, then said the magic word: “Enough.” Expect science, self-awareness, and some serious permission to want more. Nicole creates a practical de-fawning practice to help you shift out of appeasement and into enoughness. We kick things off with a little warm-up game I almost edited out… but didn't. Come play enoughness ping pong with us and feel instantly more human. Tune in now. Because “fine” is officially cancelled.   Links:   Nicole Vignola's website and book. Nicole on Instagram.

https://youtu.be/3XFiAQbxtgQ Podcast audio: In this episode of The Ayn Rand Institute Podcast, Ben Bayer and Agustina Vergara Cid examine the current controversy over USAID and discuss Ayn Rand's distinctive critique of the morality behind America's foreign aid. Among the topics covered: How recent revelations about USAID expose the agency's absurd, if not malicious, activities; Why Rand viewed foreign aid and its justification in the name of “the public interest” as morally corrupt; The continuing relevance of Rand's critique of the altruistic premises underlying arguments for foreign aid; How an unprincipled foreign policy has failed to protect America's interests abroad and wasted its resources; The role of foreign aid in a proper, pro-American foreign policy. Recommended in this podcast are Ayn Rand's essays “The Pull Peddlers” and “Altruism as Appeasement,” available in The Voice of Reason: Essays in Objectivist Thought.
