Podcasts about Azov

A viral interview raises an uncomfortable question: what does it mean when a high-profile US political influencer sits down with a commander tied to the Azov movement and the “clean up the optics” answer is basically no? We take that clip seriously, not as clickbait, but as a window into how the Ukraine war is sold to the public, how propaganda works when facts are inconvenient, and why the neo-Nazi imagery controversy never actually went away. From there, we pull on a bigger thread that keeps showing up in foreign policy: the push to connect wars into one narrative. We talk about the incentives for Ukraine to tie itself to an Iran-centered conflict, what Israel's leadership may want, and how US priorities shift when munitions, media attention, and political will are finite. We also dig into the hard part that rarely gets discussed honestly: even if you think a war is provoked or justified, what is the endgame, and what happens to public opinion when strikes land inside Russia? We then pivot to US politics and the pro-Israel lobby ecosystem, reacting to John Fetterman's meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu and what that symbolism says about party discipline, image management, and who gets rewarded. After that, we highlight journalist Sam Husseini confronting Chuck Schumer, and why real accountability often only happens when someone is willing to get shoved out of the room for asking the question. Finally, we unpack the “Morocco invaded Spain” claim by looking at Ceuta, asylum pathways, Abraham Accords-era leverage, spyware, and how migration routes tie back to destabilization across North Africa and the Sahel. If you care about Ukraine, Gaza, Iran, NATO, and the Israel lobby, this conversation connects the dots. Subscribe, share the show, and leave a review with the part you think the media is getting most wrong.

Ghost breaks his own show's no-news-cycle rule for this one, and he'll tell you exactly why. After watching Laura Loomer pivot from anti-Ukraine to interviewing Zelensky and, worse, framing Azov Battalion founder Andriy Biletsky as a hero, Ghost decided it was time to set the record straight. He walks through Biletsky's murky background: the 2011 imprisonment, the release after the 2014 Maidan coup, and his ties to nationalist groups like Patriot of Ukraine and the Social National Assembly. Along the way you get the full refresher on the Orange Revolution, Yushchenko versus Yanukovych, the eastern separatist regions, and how 2014 set the table for 2022. Then he dissects the Loomer interview as propaganda and connects the Ukraine and Israel threads. Heavy subject matter, handled with context and receipts. If you want the backstory the headlines skip, pull up a chair.

Intensifying clashes between Ukraine and Russia in the Black Sea are threatening a crucial trade artery responsible for nearly a third of the world's wheat supply, stoking fears of soaring prices and shortages. Earlier in July, a Russian cruise missile struck the grain carrier Golden Leo, claiming ten lives. This marked the deadliest blow yet in a mounting campaign by both Russian and Ukrainian forces targeting cargo ships in the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov. "This is a new development in recent months," claims shipping analyst Yoruk Isik, who runs the Istanbul-based Bosphorus Observer consultancy. Isik warns that cargo vessels are caught in a deadly tit-for-tat. "Ukraine has been targeting Russian seaborne bulkers in particular, the ones transporting stolen grain from the occupied territories of Ukraine," explains Isik, "Russia retaliated and hit Ukraine's civilian port infrastructure in Odesa; a mid-sized vessel carrying corn out of Odesa was totally sunk, other vessels were damaged, and sailors died," he adds. Turkey's Shipowners' Association, having logged 136 incidents involving commercial vessels in recent months, is now urging its members to avoid the Black Sea altogether. Beyond its role as a key channel for Russian oil, the Black Sea is a lifeline for global grain exports, with Russia and Ukraine among the top suppliers. "It is very important to note that most of Russia's agricultural commodities are exported through the Black Sea, and that almost all of Ukraine's agricultural commodities are shipped via Ukraine's ports," warns Isik. Bad timing for harvest  Around a third of the world's wheat moves through these waters. The surge in attacks across the Black Sea and the neighbouring Sea of Azov has brought exports to a near standstill. "No port is officially closed, but almost no shipowner wants to go there, so trade is close to zero," claims Istanbul-based international grain dealer Can Atbasoglu. "Sellers want buyers to handle the vessels, and buyers want sellers to handle the vessels, but shipowners don't want to risk it." This deadlock arrives at the worst possible moment: harvest time. "Normally, Russian sellers would have sold all their August cargoes by now; I don't know if anybody has any sales on their books at present," says Atbasoglu. Turkey agrees deal to clear Black Sea of mines that threaten Ukrainian exports Wheat prices are already reacting. "The price in Romania is, say, 20-25 percent higher – that's the clearest effect we're seeing. But everybody is waiting for some kind of intervention, and soon," adds Atbasoglu. Turkey now leads a NATO mission, along with Bulgaria and Romania, to safeguard navigation in the Black Sea. However, former Turkish ambassador and navigation rights expert Mithat Rende believes Ankara will be wary of any effort to enforce passage for commercial ships. "It's very important that the Ukrainian war should not be transformed into a regional war," cautions Rende. "Where would it stop? Would you fire missiles and intercept Russian missiles in the Black Sea? They (Russia) already accuse all of us of fighting Russia as NATO. It's very important to avoid such operations," he adds. Full impact yet to be felt Rende argues Ankara's priority is diplomacy, having played a pivotal role in brokering the 2022 United Nations-backed grain export deal after Russian forces blocked Ukrainian shipments. "Turkey maintained a dialogue with both the Russian and the Ukrainian sides at the same time," says Rende, "But is there political will for a ceasefire now? I don't see it at present." Grain trader Atbasoglu warns the full impact of the disruption is not yet reflected in prices. "Buyers are still not fully reacting. It's seen more as an August, or at the latest a September issue, and the markets still want to believe both sides will get together and talk," he says. However, Atbasoglu cautions that time may be running out. "In 2022, Ukraine was completely closed off, and there was a major panic. We saw the effect: wheat prices jumped 50 percent in 2022, and we could expect something similar if this continues," he concludes. Africa and the Middle East, which are heavily reliant on Black Sea grain, are beginning to seek pricier alternatives. Europe, too, may soon feel the strain, as drought-hit wheat harvests threaten to push global food prices even higher.

Ukrainian drone attacks have effectively shut down Russia's use of the Sea of Azov, which is a critical export route for southern Russia. Join the Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/PeterZeihan Full Newsletter: https://bit.ly/4fxdyih

US and the World It is a critical time of the year in grain markets. In many years mid to late July is a time where the market has already decided where this crop is going. 2026 might be a different year. Widespread hot and droughty weather in Western Europe as well as the threat of the same in North America is sending nervousness throughout the grain complex. On top of this we have all the same geopolitical problems in Ukraine and Russia as well as Iran adding to the uncertainty. This is the backdrop as we head into August. On July 10th the USDA released their latest WASDE report. The July USDA WASDE report estimated corn production to come in at 16 billion bushels up from 15.995 billion bushels in June. This was based on a yield which remained at 183 bushels per acre with planted acreage at 95.3 million acres. This remains the second largest corn crop on record if it comes to fruition. New crop ending stocks were lowered 125 million bushels down to 2.02 billion bushels. Corn usage in the United States was increased 50 million bushels from June putting it at 16.255 billion bushels. USDA is predicting the largest soybean crop In U.S. history. The estimate is 4.475 billion bushels with the trendline yield estimate of 53 bushels per acre planted on 85.4 million acres. US new crop ending stocks are set to come in at 310 million bushels with old crop stocks coming in at 330 million bushels. USDA left Brazil’s production unchanged at 180 MMT and Argentina at 50 MMT. Total US wheat production is set at 1.536 billion bushels which is down slightly from last month and the smallest wheat crop on record. On July 24th corn, soybeans and wheat were higher than the last Market Trends report. September 2026 corn futures were at $4.64 a bushel. Dec 2026 corn was at $4.87 bu. The November 2026 soybean futures was at $12.53 bu. The Sept 2026 wheat futures closed at $6.78 a bushel. The Minneapolis Sept 2026 wheat futures closed at $7.14 a bushel with the September 2027 contract closing at $7.46 a bushel. The nearby oil futures as of July 24th, 2026, closed at $89.31/barrel much higher vs the nearby futures recorded in the last Market Trends report of $68.78/barrel. The average price for US ethanol in the US was $2.19/gallon, higher vs the $2.17/gallon recorded in the last Market Trends Report. The Canadian dollar noon rate on July 24th, 2026, was .7096 US, marginally higher vs the .7042 US reported here in the last Market Trends report. The Bank of Canada’s lending rate remained at 2.25%. Ontario In Ontario generally speaking crops are doing excellent. However, as always there are regional variations with extreme drought in some areas of the deep southwest and south-central Ontario. Eastern Ontario has had much better moisture conditions than they did a year ago. As of the 24th of July, rainfall is needed in many areas of the southwest as corn is roping up and soybeans in some cases are wilting. However, there is still a long way of the growing season to go, and rains would cure much of this. As it is, with normal rainfall Ontario should be looking at good crops this fall. Wheat harvest continues across the province with good to excellent yields and quite good quality. Very dry conditions in the deepest part of southwestern Ontario made for a good harvest. However, other areas were not as lucky, and it was more challenging to get wheat dried down in the field. However, it continues in eastern and north central Ontario. So far there are very few quality issues. Basis levels for grains have stayed relatively steady since the last Market Trends report. This is partly due to the relative parity in the value of the Canadian dollar versus what it was three weeks ago at .7042 US. As always, a low Canadian dollar is the stimulus for the Ontario grain cash market. Corn basis levels have been a little stronger and as we go into August that may continue. Old crop corn basis levels are $1.65 to $2.38 over the September 2026 corn futures on July 24th across the province. New crop corn basis levels were $1.65 to $1.94 over Dec 2026 futures. The old crop basis levels for soybeans range from $4.34 to $4.70 over the November 2026 futures. New crop soybeans range from $3.89 to $4.15 over the November 2026 futures. Ontario SRW wheat prices are in flux during harvest by as of July 24th are approximately $8.25. For July 2027 new crop the bid is in the $8.91/bu. range. On July 24th the US replacement price for corn was $7.16/bushel. You can access all these Ontario grain prices in the marketing section at https://gfo.ca/daily-commodity-report/ The Bottom Line Things are all coming together to move markets higher. We have a confluence of issues that are unusual to come together at one time. What we have is the hot and dry heat dome and drought into Western Europe with the possibility of that also manifesting itself in North America. At the same time, we have the Iran US war which is pressuring the oil market which in turn is dragging grains up with it. All of this happening at the same time is unusual for this time of year. Keep in mind where we are seasonally with grain markets. The last week in July is usually one when grain markets put in a top and drop into the fall time. That happens about 85% of the time but this year might be different. We might be into a contra seasonal where the crop is getting smaller, as do ending stocks and the price usually goes higher into the fall. The timing this year seems critical. So, what does this mean? You can make the argument that we have time here to decide which type of market we are in and if you believe prices are going up because forces are coming together to do that, market your grain appropriately and hedge both the downside and upside. That means different things to different farmers and that’s OK, just recognize this current grain environment is incredibly volatile based on the grain fundamentals and our geopolitical concerns. As always, this time of year, weather is such a big concern. Keep in mind, the super El Nino is still out there and affecting crop development worldwide. In a El Nino year Brazil is supposed to be dry. Between Brazil and Argentina, they produced twice as many soybeans as the United States and if El Nino manifests itself in a big way, there could be some real price fireworks. Commodity Specific Comments Corn The drought in Europe has had an effect on the corn market. The Europeans produce about 2.3 billion bushels of corn and import about 800 million every year. This means that they will probably be importing more corn this year which has obvious implications for Ontario corn exports. Keep in mind that these drought concerns whether they be in Europe or the United States are pushing up the price of corn, but it also is reacting to the price of oil. The ongoing tension in Iran and the Strait of Hormuz will continue to have an effect on the price of corn. The September 2026 corn contract is currently priced at 22.5 cents lower than the December 2026 contract a bearish indication of old crop corn demand. Seasonally, we know that corn prices tend to peak in early June and bottom out in early October. The December 2026 corn futures contract is at the 19th percentile of the past five-year price distribution range. Soybeans Soybeans are at contract highs as of July 24th. Of course, this is good news with anybody marketing soybeans but keep in mind these contracts can run very fast with high daily limits. Post those standing market orders optimistically, as they could be hit very quickly. Soybean prices have also been supported by Chinese buying. Yes, they have finally come into the market, and it has been timely for price as US beans are very competitive against South American soybeans. There is a September meeting between President Trump and President Xi, and this may result in even more buying. The August 2026 soybean contract is currently priced 7.75 cents above the September contract considered bullish for old crop soybean demand. Seasonally, soybean prices tend to peak in early July and bottom out in early October. The November 2026 soybean contract is currently at the 37th percentile of the past five-year price distribution range. Wheat The spectre of drought and heat in Europe has had an effect on the wheat market. Keep in mind that all countries in Europe makes it the largest wheat exporter in the world. Combine this with the problems of compromised grain movement in the sea of Azov amid the ongoing war and you have lots of uncertainty. Combine this with the ongoing super El Nino and there could be production problems in other places such as Australia. In Ontario the wheat crop has been relatively good news with good yields and quality. Quality is always a problem with wheat but for whatever reason this year including the good management of Ontario wheat producers that is not much of a concern. What has been good has been a cash price rally in wheat at harvest time which has pushed prices up over $2.00 a bushel higher than a year ago. The Bottom Line (cont.) The Canadian dollar continues to flutter around the $0.71 level US which is helping Ontario grain prices. It is always a constant with regard to cash prices and can act as a buffer but in a grain environment where futures are rising significantly it can also act as a supercharger to cash prices. This is the environment that we are in now. If grain futures prices get spooked by heat domes and geopolitical concerns further, it will have an accelerating effect on Ontario cash grain values. The Canadian dollar is a thinly traded currency, but it has recently been affected by the aggressive nature of the American administration. President Trump has announced 50% tariffs on an assortment of Canadian goods going into the United States starting possibly on August the 19th. Canadians were gobsmacked by this move and so was the government. Serious trade negotiations are about to commence. Regardless of why it happened this is the type of geopolitical concern that really affects the value of the Canadian dollar. Farmers need to be concerned and watchful over the next several weeks to see where the Canadian dollar goes. With all of this going on it is important to not be crossways with the trend, and the trend is up for prices. However, in this environment volatility is usually running wild. That yet may happen especially depending on a heat dome moving in as well as geopolitical concerns in Iran and Ukraine and Russia. This is all happening without a Black Swan event, but yet again a Black Swan can always happen and with that, we always have to be ready. Keep in mind that August is always the month that determines soybean yield historically. Also keep in mind, that soybeans are the great liars but at the end of the day always tell the truth. So, they will need rain, just like we need in stretches across southern Ontario. The challenge for Ontario farmers is to hone their marketing plans in this growing bullish grain environment. Have those standing market orders ready and if they hit, set some more even more optimistically. At the same time risk management never grows old. Hedging our risks is always a good thing. At the end of the day, there will be many marketing opportunities. Daily market intelligence will remain key.

//The Wire//1800Z July 16, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: UKRAINIAN ATTACKS CONTINUE ON RUSSIAN SHIPPING IN BLACK SEA, RUSSIA RETALIATES BY STRIKING UKRAINIAN SHIPPING. WILDFIRES CONTINUE TO SPREAD IN CANADA.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Europe: The war in Ukraine has continued to expand, with attacks on Russian merchant vessels remaining constant in the Black Sea. Russia has likewise retaliated by striking Ukrainian vessels also located within the Black Sea, as well as several port cities in southwestern Ukraine.Middle East: The war continues as before, with regular strikes taking place in the coastal regions which have been host to targeting for several days. Last night the US struck the port of Bandar Abbas again, and the Iranians have responded with attacks on Kuwait, which continued sporadically overnight.Analyst Comment: One aspect of the war that has not escalated for now, has been the conflict between Saudi Arabia and Yemen. After the initial mutual strikes two days ago, the Saudi's have chosen to back off of this line of effort, probably because they realized how bad of an idea it is to start a fight with the Houthis right now. That Saudi East-West Pipeline is the main asset that is keeping Saudi Arabia in the global oil market right now, and the Houthis can very easily threaten their main revenue source.Canada: Over the past few days, wildfires have continued to spread throughout the nation. As of this morning, at total of 859x wildfires are actively burning nationwide in Canada, most of which are clustered in Ontario, Qeubec, and the Northwest Territories. Of these active fires, 63x are out of control with zero percent containment. Evacuations of thousands of rural and tribal areas have been ordered over thousands of square miles, and air quality alerts have been issued for much of the American northeast and mid-Atlantic due to the smoke.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Though not exactly grabbing front page headlines, the war in Ukraine has continued to expand and become increasingly more serious during this year's summer offensive.Numbers are hard to independently verify, but the Ukrainians claim a total of 136x Russian vessels have been struck so far during this Black Sea targeting campaign since it began last week. This number seems a little high, but what is undeniable is that the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov have become a new front during this war...for both sides, as demonstrated by the Russians now targeting Ukrainian ships. Equally important is the impact this is having on the broader Russian oil market. Previous strikes on petroleum refineries resulted in fuel shortages throughout Russia, which have varied by severity and location. Striking tankers in the Black Sea really only impacts the petroleum export market, and the long-term impacts of this will be interesting to follow. Like it or not, the concept of globalization has functioned as designed, and most nations are linked to each other in ways that are not readily apparent at first. Russia mostly exports oil to India and China, and their exports have remained high during the Persian Gulf crisis. So Ukraine, in striking the oil intended for China, is directly playing a hand in the Gulf War...a conflict thousands of miles away. How this will manifest over the next few weeks will be important. Gas prices in the US have been MUCH cheaper than they should be, due to a long list of factors, one of which has been the Chinese dipping into their own reserves to sharply reduce their demand. Ukraine strikes ships intended for China, and China now has to either dip into their reserves more...or buy more oil from the Middle East, and demand goes up in an already restricted supply chain. The Gulf War is still hot to some degree, and the miniscule flow of oil that had begun to trickle out of the Gulf during the ceasefire has once again slowed to a drip...and now that Ukraine is striking Russian oil intended for China, an already tight oil market is probably going to be squeezed even harder.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground NomadNet: 5fa68c88be727a0e1a250a75e5e79269 Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

Ukraine's military has intensified its attacks near Russian-annexed Crimea, following up strikes on Russia's land corridor to the peninsula by targeting maritime supply routes as well, as it tries to heap pressure on the Kremlin to end the war.Also in the programme: The United States says it's carried out another wave of strikes against Iran, aimed at degrading its ability to attack shipping in the Strait of Hormuz; Turkey marks 10th anniversary of July 15 failed coup; and the actor Andy Serkis on why he's giving Animal Farm a makeover!(Photo: A cyclist uses a flashlight in a dark street during a temporary power outage, after local authorities limited electricity supplies to households to avoid overloading the strained network, amid the Russia-Ukraine conflict in the Black Sea resort city of Yevpatoriya, Crimea, July 5, 2026.

The Strait of Hormuz is capturing headlines again as conflict between the United States and Iran escalates. Some commercial operators are reportedly refusing passage even with military escorts because crews and shipowners do not believe the risk can be managed. But viewing Hormuz as an isolated crisis misses the larger trend. Commercial shipping is increasingly becoming a weapon of war, economic coercion, and political leverage across multiple regions.We have seen attacks and interference in the Gulf of Aden, the Black Sea, the Sea of Azov, the Baltic Sea, and around strategic infrastructure in Central America. Ships are large, slow, visible, expensive targets. A relatively inexpensive drone or guided munition can damage a vessel worth tens of millions of dollars, disrupt its cargo, increase insurance costs, and discourage every other shipowner from entering the area.The ship does not need to sink for the attack to succeed.--------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

Silicon Bites SW26-219 | 2026-07-14 | The Siege of Crimea: How Ukraine Is Sinking Russia's Shadow Fleet. For one week — from the sixth of July to the twelfth — a Russian ship was hit in the Sea of Azov, on average, one every hundred and twelve minutes. And it's still going on now. Will there be any vessels left? By the count of Ukraine's drone command, ninety Russian vessels were struck in that single week: tankers, tugboats, ferries, dry cargo ships. On the night of July ninth alone, twelve tankers, a tug and a cargo ship were hit — and we know some of those ships burned not from Kyiv, but from the Russian governor of Rostov Oblast, who confirmed the fires in Taganrog Bay, the evacuated crews, and, in a later strike, a dead sailor, himself. That total may now have exceed 100 vessels, and is still rising daily, hourly. And Moscow's response? Retreat. Russia has stopped accepting applications for transit through the Kerch Strait. It has halted shipping on the Don-Azov Canal — the artery connecting its river fleet to the sea. It is pulling its ships off the water rather than defending them. Roughly a hundred and twenty Russian vessels are thought to operate in the Azov. Ukraine's tally says three-quarters of them have now been hit.----------ACTIVE CAMPAIGN:We are raising funds for 5 of 15 Vampire DronesSilicon Curtain for Kupiansk Vampires.

Join Dennis Voznesenski for this week's Agri Commodity Update — where global geopolitical risk is back at the centre of agricultural markets. This week, Dennis unpacks why wheat prices jumped as Black Sea disruption, tighter North American supply and European crop-quality concerns pushed offshore futures sharply higher — and why Australian APW1 prices only partly followed. He also breaks down Canadian canola moisture risk, stronger China-linked soybean demand, split GM and non-GM canola prices, and why cattle markets took a breather as higher yardings, firmer feed costs and softer offshore beef signals weighed on prices. From the Sea of Azov to the Strait of Hormuz, this is the week in agriculture through the lens of prices, risk and Australian producer impact.

Day 1,599.After a weekend that took the tally of oil exporting Russian ships hit by drones in the Sea of Azov to over 100, Dom reports how Ukraine has trialled an autonomous amphibious assault into Russian-held territory. Meanwhile Ukraine strikes another oil refinery, as fights break out over Russian fuel shortages. Adelie examines the first-ever joint EU-UK sanctions against the Russian cyber-war complex and asks what direction President Zelensky is heading in with his latest cabinet reshuffle. Dom looks at the latest United Nations response to the bombing of civilians and asks how they manage to condemn the killings in such strong terms, without once having to apportion blame. And later, he talks to US international affairs commentator Melinda Haring about the sudden death over the weekend of Senator Lindsay Graham and what the death of a leading Russia hawk means for Kyiv.Contributors:Dominic Nicholls (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @DomNicholls on X.Adelie Pojzman-Pontay (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @Adeliepjz on X.With thanks to Melinda Haring, nonresident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council's Eurasia Center.Producer: Rachel PorterSenior Producer: Lilian FawcettVideo Producer: Sophie O'SullivanSocial Producer: Tom SteedStudio Director: Meghan SearleExecutive Editor: Francis DearnleyCreated by David KnowlesNOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.

The July 13, 2026, edition of the Closing Market Report covered critical updates in domestic agricultural production, global energy markets, and shifting weather patterns impacting the U.S. corn belt. Curt Kimmel of AgMarket.net analyzed the day's sharp rise in crude oil and grain futures, tying the market's upward momentum to localized heat stress in the western corn belt, declining crop condition ratings, and sudden escalations in Middle East war tensions. Expanding on these geopolitical developments, North Dakota State University Extension Economist Frayne Olson discussed the severe impact of a newly announced U.S. military escort fee for transiting the Strait of Hormuz, alongside the logistics disruption caused by Ukrainian drone attacks near the Sea of Azov. Olson noted that while these conflicts introduce a supportive risk premium for U.S. grain exports, their long-term effects will primarily filter through volatile international energy markets. Finally, meteorologist Mark Russo of EverStream Analytics provided a near-term weather outlook, reporting that while threatening pollination heat will temporarily persist in the northwest Midwest, a retrogressing ridge of high pressure will bring cooler temperatures by the weekend. However, Russo warned that an impending shift toward a suppressed, northwest flow jet stream pattern could signal a prolonged dry spell moving into critical pod-development stages for soybeans in early August.01:11 Ag Markets with Curt Kimmel, AgMarket.net06:53 Commodity Market Discussion with Frayne Olson, NDSU18:46 Ag Weather with Mark Russo, EverStream Analytics ★ Support this podcast ★

Ukrainian drone strikes have brought shipping in the Sea of Azov to a near standstill, disrupting a corridor that carries up to a quarter of Russia's wheat exports and sending tremors through global grain and oil markets. They have also knocked out a significant share of Russia's refining capacity, prompting Moscow to ban diesel exports until the end of July and further unsettling global oil markets. In Russian-occupied Crimea, petrol prices have reached a record high.

Drone technology is rapidly transforming the battlefield, and its strategic consequences are becoming impossible to ignore. This episode of STRAT with Hal Kempfer examines how autonomous air, sea, and ground systems are redefining military operations while reducing risks to personnel and expanding the reach of precision attacks. The discussion explores the U.S. military's first operational use of one-way autonomous surface drones against Iranian targets, Ukraine's sweeping drone campaign disrupting Russian logistics, energy infrastructure, and maritime operations, and the growing vulnerability of traditional military defenses. The episode also analyzes how long-range drone strikes are bringing the war directly into Russia, creating fuel shortages, economic pressure, and political consequences far beyond the front lines. Finally, attention turns to what may represent another historic milestone: the first known unmanned amphibious assault combining autonomous sea and ground vehicles. Together, these developments illustrate how drone warfare is fundamentally reshaping strategy, deterrence, logistics, and the future character of armed conflict.Takeaways:The U.S. Navy employed autonomous surface attack drones operationally against Iranian naval infrastructure.Unmanned sea, air, and ground systems are rapidly changing the nature of modern warfare.Ukraine's drone campaign has severely disrupted Russian logistics, fuel production, and maritime operations.Long-range drones are reaching targets deep inside Russia, exposing vulnerabilities in homeland defense.Drone attacks on refineries and transportation networks are creating economic and political pressure within Russia.The Sea of Azov campaign demonstrates how unmanned systems can effectively impose a naval blockade.Shortages of advanced air defense missiles highlight the growing challenge of defending against mass drone attacks.The first reported unmanned amphibious assault signals another major evolution in military operations.#STRATPodcast #HalKempfer #MutualBroadcastingSystem #StrategicRiskAnalysis #DroneWarfare #MilitaryStrategy #NationalSecurity #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraine #MaritimeSecurity #AutonomousSystems #DefenseTechnology #MilitaryIntelligence #Geopolitics #HomelandSecurity #AirDefense #SeaDrones #MilitaryInnovation #GlobalSecurity #FutureWarfare

Ucrania intensifica su campaña para aislar la península ocupada mientras el mar de Azov se convierte en un nuevo escenario de confrontación naval y logística. Los ataques contra buques, puertos y rutas de abastecimiento buscan debilitar la capacidad de Rusia para sostener sus fuerzas en el sur del frente. En este programa analizamos cómo la estrategia ucraniana combina ataques de precisión contra la flota mercante, las infraestructuras energéticas y los corredores marítimos con el objetivo de aumentar el coste económico y militar para Moscú. Además, repasamos el impacto político de la pérdida de Lindsey Graham, uno de los senadores republicanos que más firmemente defendió el apoyo militar a Ucrania y el endurecimiento de las sanciones contra Rusia. Su último mensaje desde Kiev fue anunciar un acuerdo con la Casa Blanca para impulsar un nuevo paquete de sanciones que permitiría al presidente Donald Trump aumentar la presión sobre los países que continúan comprando petróleo ruso. ¿Seguirá adelante ese proyecto? ¿Puede cambiar la estrategia de Washington? ¿Estamos ante una nueva fase de la campaña para aislar Crimea? #Crimea #Azov #Ucrania #Rusia #LindseyGraham #Trump #Sanciones #MarNegro #Geopolítica #Bellumartis #ActualidadMilitar #Defensa #Estrategia #GuerraDeUcrania #AnálisisMilitar Mi libro "Un Mundo Convulso.

Det koker på den maritime arenaen i Ukraina-krigen. I denne episoden av Ukrainapodden har studio besøk av Daniel Viksund, leder for organisasjonen Veteran Aid Ukraine, direkte fra Kyiv. Vi dykker dypt ned i de dramatiske og hemmeligholdte ukrainske suksessene den siste måneden. Mens frontlinjene i Donbas og nord for Pokrovsk preges av marginale russiske fremstøt, rettes det nå et nådeløst og kvelende grep mot Krym. Ukraina har iverksatt en massiv kampanje i Azovhavet der over 40 angrep har truffet russiske tankskip og tvunget Putins flåte i kne. Sivilbefolkningen og militærapparatet på halvøya står overfor en akutt drivstoffkrise, og NASAs brannkart avslører at vitale betongfabrikker for det russiske forsvaret må stenge ned grunnet energimangel. Bensinkrisen lammer nå selve statussymbolet i det russiske samfunnet – bilen – og skaper dype sprekker i den sosiale kontrakten mellom Putin og folket. Samtidig bringer episoden oppsiktvekkende nyheter fra NATO-toppmøtet i Ankara. I kulissene har Trump og Zelenskyj endret tone, og USA åpner nå for at Ukraina selv kan produsere de høyteknologiske PAC-3 Patriot-missilene. Dette kan bli et diplomatiske og militært vendepunkt, midt under en bølge av russisk terrorbombing mot Kyiv der utradisjonelle S-400 luftvernraketter brukes upresist mot sivile mål. Daniel Viksund gir oss også en direkte status på donasjonsviljen i Vesten, hvordan ukrainske droner endrer taktikk, og hvorfor ukrainsk kampvilje forblir uknuselig tross konstante ballistiske angrep.

Confira os destaques de Os Pingos nos Is desta quinta-feira (09):Os Estados Unidos e o Irã trocaram ataques durante a noite desta quarta-feira (08) e a madrugada desta quinta-feira (09). Pelo menos 90 instalações e alvos militares do Irã foram atacados pelos EUA. A ofensiva fez com que a Marinha iraniana interrompesse a reabertura do Estreito de Ormuz. Fabrizio Neitzke traz mais informações sobre o conflito no Oriente Médio. A Ucrânia realizou novos ataques contra o território russo. Em uma operação coordenada, drones de Kiev cortaram o espaço aéreo e atingiram refinarias estratégicas e bombardearam navios-tanque russos no mar de Azov. Os ataques ocorrem após os Estados Unidos autorizar o uso do sistema de defesa Patriot. Um documento judicial brasileiro divulgado por parlamentares republicanos dos Estados Unidos voltou a colocar decisões da Justiça brasileira no centro do debate sobre liberdade de expressão e alcance das ordens judiciais. O documento mostra uma decisão de um juiz da Justiça paulista determinando que Facebook, Instagram e Telegram identifiquem o responsável por um perfil e suspendam a conta em até 48 horas, sob pena de multa diária de R$ 2 mil, limitada inicialmente a R$ 30 mil. Os temas prioritários do governo federal podem ficar para depois das eleições. Entre eles, o fim da escala 6x1 e a PEC da Segurança Pública. O Congresso entrará em recesso no dia 18 de julho, voltando apenas no dia 31. Além disso, as campanhas eleitorais começarão no dia 13 de agosto. No meio deste período, Câmara e Senado terão uma espécie de “esforço concentrado” por algumas semanas. A expetativa é que nada de importante seja votado durante o período. A Polícia Federal e a Controladoria-Geral da União deflagraram nesta quinta-feira (9) a segunda fase da Operação Monã para investigar um esquema de fraudes em benefícios do INSS destinados a indígenas no sul da Bahia. A Justiça bloqueou mais de R$ 1,5 milhão em contas dos principais investigados e determinou o sequestro de um veículo. A estimativa é que as fraudes tenham causado prejuízo superior a R$ 100 milhões aos cofres públicos. A Comissão de Constituição e Justiça (CCJ) da Câmara dos Deputados aprovou, nesta quarta-feira (08), a admissibilidade da PEC que acaba com a aposentadoria compulsória como punição disciplinar para magistrados e membros do Ministério Público. Atualmente, juízes e promotores que cometem faltas graves ou crimes são afastados do cargo, mas continuam recebendo salários vitalícios proporcionais. O texto passará por dois turnos de votação na Câmara. Reportagem: Thaís Sprovieri. O desentendimento entre o senador e pré-candidato à Presidência da República Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) e a ex-primeira-dama Michelle Bolsonaro (PL) ainda é assunto semanas após o início da crise. Nesta quinta-feira (09), em sua chegada ao Brasil, Flávio disse estar aberto a conversar com Michelle e falou em esperar o tempo dela para retorno à campanha. O Partido Novo (TCU) entrou com uma representação no Tribunal de Contas da União (TCU) para suspender R$ 763 milhões em publicidade do governo federal. A sigla alega que os recursos estariam sendo usados para promover a imagem do presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) em desacordo com a finalidade constitucional da comunicação pública. O partido também pede a anulação dos contratos questionados. O PSDB não lançará candidato à Presidência da República nas eleições deste ano. A decisão foi sacramentada após o deputado federal e presidente nacional da legenda, Aécio Neves (MG), desistir de encabeçar o projeto ao Planalto. Protagonista das disputas presidenciais contra o PT por décadas, a sigla tucana encolheu e ficará de fora da corrida principal. Você confere essas e outras notícias em Os Pingos nos Is.

Day 1,593.Today, as Ukraine reportedly launches one of the largest waves of air strikes inside Russia since the full-scale invasion began – while also targeting multiple Russian vessels in the Sea of Azov – we bring you the latest from the NATO summit in Turkey, where world leaders are gathering for what could prove one of the most consequential meetings of the war.

Putin says Russia is in a “challenging period,” but the more revealing question is what comes next when a war stops feeling like a crisis and starts running on autopilot. We unpack why Russia can look simultaneously steady and stuck: not prone to emotional swings, yet still locked into a slow, costly grind where drone strikes reach deep targets, NATO proximity raises the stakes, and every month of fighting makes the eventual political settlement harder to swallow. From there, we zoom in on the Ukraine endgame that rarely gets discussed honestly. If Russia holds territory in the east and south, what happens to the remaining Ukrainian politics when the most Russia-leaning constituencies are effectively removed from future elections? We talk about why that dynamic can empower hardliners, including the rise of Andriy Biletsky and the institutional growth of the former Azov network, and why a “freeze the lines” ceasefire can simply set the stage for the next phase across the Dnieper. We also connect the dots to Washington's incentives, including the explicit “Afghanistan” framing some prominent voices used before and after the invasion, and how that mindset treats Ukrainians as expendable inputs in a long proxy war. Then we pivot to the Middle East, breaking down reports and proposals that point toward pressuring Lebanon in ways that could spark a dangerous confrontation with Hezbollah and push a fragile country closer to civil conflict. If you care about Ukraine, Russia, NATO escalation, neocon strategy, and Middle East spillover risks, this conversation is for you.

Ukraine's drone waves continue hitting Russia, last week targeting St Petersburg right as its annual 'Russian Davos' forum opened, Azerbaijani grain ships in the Sea of Azov, and the nuclear power plant in Zaporozhye. The Ukrainian puppet regime, egged on as ever by the Western Consortium that runs it, is feeling invincible, but its days are surely numbered. Meanwhile the American side of the 'US-rael partnership' is showing rare signs of unease over their pact, with anonymous Pentagon...

Rob Lee dials in from Ukraine for a long-form WarTalk on what the front line actually looks like in year four — where infantry sit underground for six months without seeing the sun, where 2% of casualties come from small arms, and where the "forward line of troops" has been quietly replaced by a forward line of UAV teams. Rob Lee is a senior fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute and one of the most-read analysts of the Russia-Ukraine war; he's joined on the show by WarTalk regulars Bryan Clark, Tony Stark, and Justin.

One of Ukraine's largest ever drone strikes against Russia's regions, including Moscow, has killed at least four people and wounded a dozen more, the Russian authorities have said.The wave of almost 600 Ukrainian drones struck overnight across 14 Russian regions, as well as the Crimean peninsula and the Black and Azov seas.Anton was joined by Emmanuelle Chaze, Ukraine Correspondent for Radio France Internationale And France24 to discuss this further.

The conflict in Ukraine did not start in February 2022; it had started a long while before. The 2014 Maidan coup installed a fascist government led by the followers of WW2 Nazi collaborator Stepan Bandera. This coup was actually the first blow in the yet-to-be-declared war against Russia. The coup enraged the people of Crimea and the Donbass, who refused to live in a state ruled by fascists. Crimea held a referendum in which the population overwhelmingly decided to rejoin Russia. Ever since 2014, the Ukrainian military, backed by the fascist Azov battalions, have been bombarding the Donbass republics, killing 14,000 people and terrorising the resistant population all over Ukraine on a daily basis. The conflict in Ukraine is not between Ukraine and Russia. It is a proxy war waged by the neo-nazi Nato alliance, which wants regime change in Russia in order to loot that country's vast resources. Faced with this threat to its very existence, Russia has had little choice but to resort to force, with the twin purposes of denazifying and demilitarising Ukraine. In this war, workers and all of progressive humanity must support Russia, which is waging a heroic fight against the combined forces of imperialism. ---------------------------------------------------- Subscribe!

In this episode of Y-Chromes, CannCon, Alpha Warrior, JB White, and Cam Cooksey kick things off with music, speakers, and nostalgia before diving headfirst into one of their most heated debates yet. What starts as jokes about movies and masks quickly turns into a full-blown clash over Iran, Ukraine, Russia, communism, intelligence agencies, and the question that won't go away: do you trust Trump's strategy or not? The guys go back and forth on sovereign alliances, CIA operations, Azov battalions, Operation Ajax, and whether modern conflicts are legitimate wars or manipulated narratives. It is raw, unfiltered, and very Y-Chromes. They argue hard, challenge each other directly, and then pivot to Spider-Man versus Darth Maul like nothing happened. If you like your geopolitics mixed with sarcasm, cartoons, and zero emotional recovery time, this one delivers.

Trump's Nuclear Testing Remarks and the China-Russia Partnership Guest: Anatol Lieven Anatol Lieven discusses President Trump's remark about testing nuclear weapons "on an equal basis" with Russia and China, suggesting it likely refers to missile testing rather than actual nuclear detonations. Lieven analyzes the "no limits" China-Russia partnership, noting its inherent contradictions: China refuses to recognize Russia's annexations of Ukrainian territory and fears Russia's complete defeat, though it simultaneously opposes Russia being gravely weakened. Lieven also addresses the controversy regarding NATO-supplied forces in Ukraine identified as extreme ethnic nationalists, particularly the Azov regiment, noting that their military importance to the defense effort makes disbanding them highly unlikely.
