In July Turkey hosted the 17th International Defense Industry Fair, and over 100 countries sent representatives to see what's behind all the hype around Ankara's defense industry. Despite the attention it's gotten over the last years, a lot of Ankara's new military technology remains in development and untested, posing the question: Can Turkey deliver on its defense ambitions? Ryan Gingeras, a professor in the Department of National Security Affairs at the Naval Postgraduate School and an expert on Turkish, Balkan, and Middle East history, joins Thanos Davelis as we try to answer this question.The views expressed by Professor Gingeras in this interview do not reflect the views of the US government.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Can Turkey Deliver on Its Armament Ambitions?Greece announces €1.6bn relief package to tackle population declineGreece, OpenAI agree deal to boost innovation in schools, small businesses
With the US focused on Ukraine, the Middle East, and President Trump's trade deals, it seems the Western Balkans are flying under the radar in Washington. In fact, there are growing concerns in the region about a quiet US withdrawal and what this could mean as countries like Russia, China and Turkey vie for influence. Professor James Ker-Lindsay, who has worked extensively on the EU, the Balkans and Southeast Europe, joins Thanos Davelis as we take a closer look at these developments.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Risky jockeying for position in the BalkansSerb separatist Dodik defies Bosnian state in government reshuffleGreece toughens penalties for rejected asylum seekers, speeds up returnsPM to unveil tax breaks as popularity dips
Talk Eastern Europe is back from its August break! In this episode, Adam, Alexandra and Nina run through some of the bigger stories from the region, including developments in the Balkans, Poland, the EU, and look at the global implications of China's victory celebrations this week.After the news, Adam and Nina are joined by Pavel Havlíček, research fellow at the Prague-based Association for International Affairs (AMO) to discuss the recent Trump–Putin meeting in Alaska and what it means for Ukraine's future. The episode explores the high-stakes diplomacy shaping the war and the prospects for peace, which President Trump has been pursuing since before his inauguration.In the bonus section to this episode – Pavel gives us a peek into Czech domestic politics, as the country prepares for parliamentary elections in early October.>>> Click here to listen to the bonus content.For further reading:“A recipe for an unfair stalemate, not a just peace” – CoryAlpert, New Eastern Europe https://neweasterneurope.eu/2025/08/20/a-recipe-for-an-unfair-stalemate-not-a-just-peace/“Scenarios for the end of the war” – Andrii Dligach & ValeriiPekar, New Eastern Europe https://neweasterneurope.eu/2025/09/01/scenarios-for-the-end-of-the-war/Additional financing for this podcast is provided by the Polish MFA: Public task financed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland within the grant competition “Public Diplomacy 2024 – 2025 - the European dimension and countering disinformation The opinions expressed on this podcast are those of the authors and do not reflect the views of the official positions of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland.

Ils se nomment le clan Kavac ou Skaljari : ces groupes mafieux d'Europe de l'Est aux ramifications mondiales, ont fait de l'Afrique de l'Ouest une nouvelle base pour gérer le trafic illégal de cocaïne à destination de l'Europe. Dans son dernier rapport, l'Initiative mondiale contre la criminalité transnationale pointe les méthodes de développement de ces organisations, notamment la corruption, le rôle des intermédiaires, et l'accroissement de la consommation de cocaïne dans la zone. L'espagnole Lucia Bird Ruiz est directrice de l'Observatoire des économies illicites en Afrique de l'Ouest, c'est elle qui a rédigé ce rapport. RFI : Pour la première fois, des enquêtes indiquent que l'Afrique de l'Ouest est devenue un pivot central du trafic de cocaïne pour des groupes mafieux qui sont basés en Europe de l'Est ? Lucia Bird Ruiz : Oui, et c'est au Cap-Vert que ces réseaux ont commencé à s'implanter. Puis, c'est depuis 2019 que ces groupes ont lancé des opérations dans les pays côtiers de l'Afrique de l'Ouest, opérant principalement sur des routes maritimes. Ce sont des groupes parmi les acteurs les plus importants du commerce mondial de la cocaïne d'aujourd'hui. Ils utilisent la violence, la corruption et donc l'implantation en Afrique de l'Ouest, c'est très concernant pour la région. Est-ce qu'on peut citer quelques-uns de ces groupes, qui ont d'ailleurs des liens parfois avec la mafia italienne ? Par exemple, les clans Kavak et Skaljari, les deux organisations criminelles les plus puissantes du Monténégro, qui sont à l'origine de plusieurs assassinats, ont opéré à l'Afrique de l'Ouest. Et ces réseaux ont des liens avec les mafias italiennes, particulièrement la Ndrangheta. Pourquoi ces groupes ont besoin de l'Afrique de l'Ouest pour développer le trafic de cocaïne ? Le marché de consommation en Europe, ça devient chaque jour plus grand. Mais aussi la pression en Europe sur les routes directe en provenance d'Amérique latine s'est accrue et donc l'Afrique de l'Ouest est devenue de plus en plus importante pour ce trafic. Un tiers de la cocaïne européenne pourrait transiter actuellement par l'Afrique de l'Ouest. Et on prévoit que ce chiffre atteindra la moitié d'ici à 2030. Concrètement, comment est-ce que ces groupes mafieux travaillent en Afrique de l'Ouest ? Il y a deux points-clés à souligner. Le premier, c'est les intermédiaires. C'est vraiment un élément-clé de leur stratégie. Ce sont des nationaux des Balkans qui sont envoyés en Afrique de l'Ouest pendant des mois pour superviser les opérations, en travaillant avec les acteurs locaux, pour faciliter la logistique. Par exemple, un important réseau avait un intermédiaire basé à Freetown en Sierra Leone, qui supervisait l'importation, l'emballage dans des conteneurs, l'établissement d'une société en Sierra Leone et l'exportation vers la Belgique. Ils ont des moyens financiers quasi illimités, le trafic de cocaïne est tellement puissant qu'ils sont capables de s'implanter partout ? Certains de ces groupes ont corrompu les plus hauts niveaux de l'Etat. Par exemple, en Albanie, un ancien membre du Parlement a été arrêté pour son soutien à une organisation criminelle. Et en Afrique de l'Ouest, on s'attendrait à ce qu'ils utilisent des techniques similaires. Comment est-ce qu'ils font transiter la cocaïne d'Afrique de l'Ouest vers l'Europe ? Comme on l'a dit, ils utilisent la voie maritime dans les conteneurs où s'est très compliqué de faire de la surveillance. Mais aussi, ils utilisent des petits bateaux. Par exemple, on a un dirigeant bosniaque d'un groupe qui a parlé avec ses complices de trafic de plus de trois tonnes de cocaïne dans la Guinée-Bissau et les îles Canaries, dans un petit bateau. Vous indiquez dans votre rapport que ces intermédiaires sont parfois payés en cocaïne. Il y a une crainte que ce système entraîne une hausse de la consommation dans la sous-région ? Les produits de synthèse restent les plus largement consommés dans la plupart des pays, mais la consommation de cocaïne, en particulier du crack, augmente également dans de nombreux pays. Et donc, ils vendent la cocaïne dans le marché local et ça pousse la consommation dans la région. Ils s'adaptent aux moyens financiers des habitants de l'Afrique de l'Ouest ? Le prix dans la sous-région a baissé dans beaucoup de pays. Au Ghana, les prix réels, donc en tenant compte de l'inflation, ont chuté de 60 % entre 2019 et 2023. Ce n'est pas la même tendance dans tous les pays de la région, mais dans beaucoup de pays. Et ça inclut le Sénégal, la Guinée. La consommation est vraiment dans une phase d'augmentation. Comment est-ce que les Etats d'Afrique de l'Ouest, comment les autorités au Sénégal, en Sierra Leone ou en Guinée-Bissau peuvent lutter contre la puissance de ces réseaux mafieux ? Il faut vraiment renforcer les systèmes de renseignement pour bien comprendre les opérations de ces groupes, et aussi créer des partenariats stratégiques, des partenariats intercontinentaux entre forces de l'ordre en Afrique de l'Ouest. C'est un défi énorme pour la région parce que c'est une implication pour la santé publique, mais aussi pour la corruption et peut-être à l'avenir sur la violence parce que ces groupes sont tellement violents dans beaucoup de régions du monde.

Det kokar på Balkan. I Serbien har människor sedan nio månader gått ut på gatorna för att protestera mot korruption och kräva presidentens avgång. Även grannlandet Bosnien genomgår en politisk kris som beskrivs som den värsta sen inbördeskriget. Splittringarna på Balkan skapar nu oro för nya konflikter. Vad kan Europa göra för att förhindra eskalering – utan att driva Balkanländerna i armarna på Putin?Medverkande: Fanny Wallberg, samordnare vid Centrum för Östeuropastudier, UI.Hugo von Essen, analytiker vid Centrum för Östeuropastudier, UI.Programledare och redaktör: Annica Ögren.

Comenzamos en Alemania con evocaciones punyabíes y de antiguas series televisivas. Seguimos con más novedades y adelantos discográficos, conectando Francia con más sonidos orientalizantes, para viajar luego a los Balcanes, con sones más de la tierra y otros muy inclasificables. Celebramos el regreso de Radio Tarifa, y viajamos atrás en el tiempo desde El Cairo. Terminamos volando de Armenia a Brasil, de Ereván a São Paulo, anunciando y escuchando músicas de eventos imprescindibles: Yerevan Music Week y Brasil Music Summit. We begin in Germany with Punjabi evocations and from old television series. We continue with more new releases and album previews, connecting France with more orientalizing sounds, to then travel to the Balkans, with tunes more from the land and others quite unclassifiable. We celebrate the return of Radio Tarifa, and travel back in time from Cairo. We finish flying from Armenia to Brazil, from Yerevan to São Paulo, announcing and listening to music from essential events: Yerevan Music Week and Brasil Music Summit. - Wildes Holz - Mundian rider - Block party - Underground Weather - Mutual core - Underground weather - Mukasamuka - Indocatu - Desert mood - Etceteral - Gesualdo - Kimatika - Balkan Taksim - Ludilo - Acide balkanique - Radio Tarifa - Sabah - La noche - Omar Khorshid - Leilet hob - Giant + guitar - Lucy Khanyan Quartet - Slightly mad - Abcentia - Gurumiran - Djeyrani bes sarerov - Notes from underground - Luizinho do Jêje, Marcelo Galter, Sylvio Fraga - Ogum mariô - Mocofaia 📸 Radio Tarifa

Wir springen in dieser Folge wieder mal an den Bosporus, und beschäftigen uns mit einer legendären Leibgarde am byzantinischen Hof. Ursprünglich gespeist aus skandinavischen Kriegern, war die Warägergarde aber vor allem auch Auffangbecken für jene, die aus ihrer alten Heimat flüchten mussten. Wir sprechen darüber, welche Aufgaben diese Einheit hatte, wie sich ihre Zusammensetzung über die Jahrhunderte veränderte und wie sie schließlich verschwand. // Erwähnte Folgen - GAG514: Anna Komnene – Prinzessin, Intellektuelle und Historikerin – https://gadg.fm/514 - GAG198: Olga von Kiew oder Mit den Spatzen kam der Tod – https://gadg.fm/198 - GAG414: Ibn Fadlān und die Reise zur Wolga – https://gadg.fm/414 - GAG211: Griechisches Feuer – https://gadg.fm/211 - GAG63: Konstantin und die Janitscharen – https://gadg.fm/63 - GAG191: Aethelfled - Warrior Queen of Mercia – https://gadg.fm/191 // Literatur - Sigfüs Blöndal; Benedikt S.

Podržite nas i na Patreonu ➡️ https://www.patreon.com/c/HistoryCast Istoričar Nikola Đukić i istoričar umetnosti Nikola Piperski danas razbijaju crno-bele slike o čoveku koji je pokušao nemoguće - da sačuva srpsku državu u doba kada se Balkan lomio između krsta i polumeseca. Đurađ Branković za jedne je bio vizionar i graditelj, za druge hladni kalkulant. Bio je poslednji veliki srpski vladar pre pada pod osmansku vlast, diplomata između istoka i zapada, graditelj moćne tvrđave Smederevo, ali i čovek kojeg su savremenici optuživali za izdaju. Da li je njegov izbor da postane osmanski vazal bio znak slabosti ili jedini način da narod preživi? Kako je Đurađ balansirao između Osmanskog carstva, Ugarske i Venecije? Kakvu je simboliku nosilo Smederevo kao „srpski Carigrad“ i šta umetnički detalji te tvrđave otkrivaju o kulturnom identitetu Srbije u XV veku? U ovoj epizodi prolazimo kroz tajne diplomatskih ugovora, dvorske spletke, bolne gubitke porodice Branković, ali i umetničko nasleđe koje i danas priča priču o moći i tragici epohe.
I vårt mest sjöfyllebetonade avsnitt hittills går vi igenom Österrike-Ungerns flotta, dvs. CONRADS FLOTTA. Och när det handlar om CONRADS FLOTTA måste det skrivas i versaler! Mattis inleder med att beskriva landimperiet Österrike-Ungerns … slagskepp? Jorå, de hade såna och många klasser av dem därtill. Samtliga av dessa cognacsindränkta skapelser beskrivs PLUS samtliga av deras stridsinsatser; allt med en ton av wat da fugg? Per går sedan dels igenom de österrikisk-ungerska ubåtarna, dels den lilla Donauflottan. Båda visar sig vara det mest BADASS dubbelmonarkin och därmed CONRADS FLOTTA någonsin gjorde.Dessutom: driftiga tjecker, det helt outforskade Balkan, diplomingenjörer får bygga slagskepp, infettade italienska officerare i (för) små badbyxor, stoppur för att hejda drunkning, de fina aspekterna av Österrike-Ungern, allmänt mys, hummus, och mycket mer!Förbeställ ditt signerade exemplar av vår bok Folkhemmet at war via Bokus eller Adlibris här:Bokus: https://www.bokus.com/bok/B000416822/signerad-folkhemmet-at-war/Adlibris: http://adlibr.is/folkhemmetatwarsignerad Hosted on Acast.

Quand on pense aux conflits armés, on imagine souvent des guerres entre États. Pourtant, les guerres les plus fréquentes depuis la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale sont des guerres civiles. Elles traversent l'histoire contemporaine, de l'Afghanistan au Mali, de la Syrie au Rwanda, de la République démocratique du Congo aux Balkans, sans oublier la question Kurde. Et pourtant, nous en savons finalement assez peu de choses. Elles sont souvent perçues comme des violences chaotiques, irrationnelles, ou comme des effondrements d'État, alors qu'elles obéissent à des logiques politiques, sociales et économiques précises. Qu'elles sont pratiquement un phénomène universel sur le temps long. Et que la quasi-totalité des sociétés a connu un épisode de guerre civile, provoquant la mort de dizaines de millions de personnes ainsi que l'exil ou le déplacement de centaines de millions d'autres. Enfin, loin d'être une affaire uniquement interne à un pays, les guerres civiles ne peuvent se comprendre sans prendre en compte les acteurs internationaux. Gilles Dorronsoro est notre invité, professeur de science politique à l'Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne et membre de l'Institut universitaire de France. Gilles Dorronsoro a travaillé sur les guerres civiles contemporaines en Afghanistan, au Kurdistan, en Syrie et au Mali. Auteur de Le plus grand des maux.

Sommer 2015. Hunderttausende Menschen flüchten aus Syrien, über die Türkei, den Balkan, Ungarn – und landen schließlich in Österreich. Viele wollen weiter nach Deutschland. Doch viele bleiben auch. Anfangs erwartet sie eine Welle der Hilfsbereitschaft. Des Optimismus. Doch die Stimmung schwingt bald um. Die Zuwanderung löst Ängste aus – von denen vor allem Rechtspopulisten politisch profitieren. In dieser zweiteiligen Serie von "Inside Austria" wollen wir herausfinden, wie die Fluchtbewegung von 2015 Österreich verändert hat. Wir sehen uns an, wie gut die Integration funktioniert – und welche Probleme es gibt. Wir wollen aber auch wissen, wie Rechte die Fluchtbewegung für sich nutzen. Ob wir heute besser gerüstet wären – und wie es den Menschen, die damals nach Österreich gekommen sind, heute geht. Im ersten Teil blicken wir auf die Herausforderungen, die die Flüchtlingskrise 2015 mit sich gebracht hat. Was ist damals passiert – und welche Probleme beschäftigen Österreich bis heute?

Le 12 janvier dernier, Zoran Milanović a été réélu pour un second mandat consécutif à la tête de la Croatie. Sans majorité au Parlement, le président doit aujourd'hui composer avec l'opposition. Qui est Zoran Milanović, cet ancien fonctionnaire croate qui a travaillé pour les Nations unies, mais aussi pour la mission croate auprès de l'Union européenne et de l'Otan à Bruxelles dans les années 1990 et qui aujourd'hui tient un discours anti-Otan, anti-européen et qui est souvent présenté comme pro-russe ? Beaucoup le surnomment le « Trump des Balkans ». Zoran Milanović est tout sauf un inconnu, en tout cas dans les Balkans. Ce juriste de formation, né en 1966 à Zagreb, qui a été réélu pour un second mandat présidentiel, avait par exemple déjà dirigé le pays en tant que Premier ministre entre 2011 et 2016. À l'époque, à la tête du Parti social-démocrate, il avait mené une politique de gauche. Il avait alors des positions modérées et plutôt progressistes, même s'il était accusé par l'aile gauche de son parti de mener une politique économique trop libérale. Mais comme l'explique Romain Le Quiniou, directeur général d'Eurocreative, un think tank sur l'Europe centrale et orientale, ce Milanović-là n'est pas celui qui a pris la présidence du pays en 2020 : « Monsieur Milanović a réussi à être élu président de la République et à changer de discours. Il disait qu'il voulait être un président avec de l'attitude. Et finalement, il a gardé cette ambition : essayer d'être un président qui dit ce qu'il pense, qui parle franchement, qui n'a pas peur des outrances, qui n'a pas peur de dire la vérité. Un président un petit peu antisystème. Mais on n'a pas forcément compris que c'était un virage que Monsieur Milanović n'avait pas utilisé seulement pour gagner cette présidentielle en 2020, mais qu'il utilisait cette position pour rester au pouvoir également. » Élu pour un premier mandat en 2020, il devient alors le premier opposant du gouvernement d'Andrej Plenković, membre du HDZ, l'Union démocratique croate, formation de droite qui gouverne de manière presque continue le pays depuis l'indépendance en 1991. Zoran Milanović s'oppose aux restrictions mises en place pendant la pandémie, s'oppose à l'aide militaire à l'Ukraine, soutient des positions russes, critique l'Otan et l'Union européenne. Des positions pas forcément partagées par ses compatriotes SI les Croates ne partagent pas forcément ses positions, elles ont eu leur effet. Florian Bieber, politologue et spécialiste des Balkans : « La majorité des Croates n'est pas pro-russe. Je crois que les gens soutiennent Zoran Milanović plutôt pour le fait qu'il est populiste, qu'il dit les choses comme il pense. Il a l'image de quelqu'un qui n'a aucune crainte de dire ce qu'il pense. » Cette liberté de ton plaît aux Croates. Et Zoran Milanović est devenu maître en la matière. Il faut dire qu'aujourd'hui, comme le détaille l'historien et spécialiste des Balkans Joseph Krulic, c'est le seul pouvoir que détient le président croate : « Depuis une réforme constitutionnelle de juillet 2001, le président croate, bien qu'il soit élu au suffrage universel depuis 1992, n'a en gros aucun pouvoir exécutif. Donc il est relativement paralysé. Mais il a le ministère de la parole et il se le permet, notamment en politique extérieure. » À lire aussiPrésidentielle en Croatie: victoire écrasante du président sortant Zoran Milanovic au second tour Éviter une concentration des pouvoirs Il n'y a pas que cette liberté de ton qui plaît aux Croates. Ils veulent aussi éviter une concentration des pouvoirs. Et la présence de Zoran Milanović à la tête de la République permet de bénéficier en quelque sorte d'un certain équilibre face au gouvernement conservateur d'Andrej Plenković. Un gouvernement qui soutient l'Ukraine, qui est en phase avec l'Union européenne et l'Otan. En somme, tout l'inverse des positions de Zoran Milanović qui, pourtant, bénéficie de nombreux soutiens dans la classe politique croate. « Il a gagné beaucoup de soutien suite à ses critiques très fortes contre le gouvernement actuel et spécialement le Premier ministre Andrej Plenković, poursuit Florian Bieber. Donc il est évident qu'il va encore plus critiquer le gouvernement. Et donc on peut s'attendre à beaucoup de batailles entre lui et le gouvernement actuel, et pas seulement en matière de politique étrangère, mais aussi en matière de politique intérieure. » Zoran Milanović a été reconduit à la tête de la République croate pour les cinq ans à venir. Cinq ans de bras de fer avec le gouvernement, mais aussi avec l'Otan et l'Union européenne. En somme, un mandat qui s'inscrit dans la continuité pour celui que l'on surnomme le « Trump des Balkans ».

We're most familiar with the Celts of the west, the people who eventually fought Julius Caesar in Gaul and left their languages along the Atlantic fringe. Yet thanks to mass migrations to the east, the Celtic world also extended all the way to the Black Sea.

Lucky Spencer's relationship with Siobhan began overseas while he was working undercover against the Balkan. What started in dangerous circumstances grew into something deeper, though trust and outside pressures often made things difficult. They faced staged breakups, close calls, and even a trip to Ireland to help her sister. Eventually, they planned to marry, but their wedding was suddenly interrupted by the devastating news of Jake's accident.The loss of Jake was life-changing, pulling Lucky and Liz back into each other's orbit no matter how much they tried to move on. Their shared grief kept their past close to the surface, making it clear that their history and connection were never far away.At the same time, he leaned on Lulu while struggling with Luke, especially once it came out that Luke's drinking played a role in Jake's death. Between his relationship with Siobhan, his history with Liz, and his family's struggles, Lucky was forced to face where his priorities and loyalties truly lay.Listen Here GeneralHospitalPodcast.com #elizabethwebber #luckyspencer #rebeccaherbst #jonathanjackson #nikolascassadine #tylerchristopher #gh #ghhistory #generalhospitalhistory #classicgh #luckyandliz #generalhospitalabc #generalhospital #helenacassadine #lukespencer #jakespencer #luluspencer #dantefalconeri #jasonmorgan Hosted on Acast.

Dive into this epic conversation on the Mike Drop Podcast with Green Beret legend Mark Giaconia. A 20-year Army veteran who traded infantry boots for Special Forces grit, Mark opens up about his raw reaction to 9/11—burning with jealousy as Fifth Group charged into Afghanistan, only to carve his own pinnacle in Iraq's brutal ops. But before the GWOT glory, he takes us back to the forgotten chaos of Bosnia in the late '90s, where peacekeeping turned into high-stakes intel gathering: embedding in remote villages, renting houses amid fresh war scars, and dodging tense standoffs with Serbian cops who grabbed their weapons at the sight of an American. From concealed pistols and civilian rides to wild encounters—like spotting a Beirut bombing fugitive in a roadside eatery or monitoring Russian convoys on the brink of World War III—Mark's stories pulse with the raw edge of undercover life in a powder keg. We geek out on metal shredding (check Patreon for the deep dive), philosophy from Socrates to Nietzsche, and his time-travel wish to homestead in colonial Connecticut. Whether it's surviving Ranger School's 200+ day grind, losing 40 pounds in the suck, or bonding with locals over slivovitz amid genocide echoes, this episode hooks you with unfiltered warrior wisdom, historical twists, and the unexamined life's brutal truths. Don't miss Mark's insights on human nature, founding principles, and why the Balkans' hospitality hides a world of shadows—perfect fuel for any Mike Drop fan craving real talk from the front lines.

Lucky Spencer's world got a whole lot more complicated when his undercover mission as Ronan O'Reilly collided with Siobhan. What began with a heated kiss and a slap in Ireland quickly turned into a dangerous partnership, pulling her into his mission and forcing Lucky to juggle his cover, the Balkan's orders, and her safety. From faking her death to staging Brenda's kidnapping in Port Charles, Lucky walked a thin line between duty and emotion, realizing that his work with Interpol wasn't just about stopping criminals—it was about keeping Siobhan alive. Their relationship grew deeper through playful mornings and slow dances, but also fiery arguments and clashing independence, especially as Lucky tried to blend his new love with fatherhood and peace with Liz. Interpol kept dragging him back into Ronan's world, leading to high-stakes missions in New York and tangled ties to Brenda, the Balkan, and Jerry Jacks. Meanwhile, family drama swirled around Luke and Tracy's wedding, and Lucky leaned on his father for advice while questioning whether Siobhan was really being honest with him. With Jerry back in town, Theo secretly playing his own game, and Jason pressuring him on the investigation, Lucky found himself constantly torn between love, loyalty, and duty. In the end, his story wasn't just about undercover work—it was about how far he was willing to go to protect the people he cared about.#luckyspencer #jonathanjackson #siobhanspencer #erinchambers #elizabethwebber #rebeccaherbst #jasonmorgan #steveburton #sammccall #kellymonaco #luluspencer #julieberman #dantefalconeri #lukespencer #gh #ghhistory #generalhospitalhistory #classicgh #luckyandliz #generalhospitalabc #generalhospital Hosted on Acast.

George Stamkoski, editor and publisher of "With No Peace to Keep - UN Peacekeeping and the Wars in Former Yugoslavia", reflects on the UN's official denial of the unfolding Balkan genocide in the early 1990's culminating in the Srebrenica massacre in July 1995. - Џорџ Стамкоски, уредник и издавач на книгата „With No Peace to Keep – UN Peacekeeping and the Wars in Former Yugoslavia“, во ексклузивно интервју за СБС на македонски, го разгледува, како што посочува, повеќегодишното официјално негирање на балканските злосторства од страна на Обединетите нации, што се одвиваше во раните 1990-ти и резултураше со геноцидот во Сребреница во јули 1995 година.

Instead, she grabbed her 20-year-old mountain bike and camping gear, then pedalled 3,300km home through 11 countries.Listen if: You love spontaneous adventures, dream about bikepacking the Balkans, or want proof that bike adventures can start with small, imperfect gear.The story in a nutshell: Anne was midway through a climbing trip in Crete when her camper van broke down in the middle of nowhere. With Easter shutdown looming, not wanting to take a flight home, and stranded in the what felt like the 'middle of nowhere', she decided to ride it her old mountain bike all the way back to Germany. Not via the “boring” coastal route, but off-road through the newly created Trans Dinarica route through the Balkans. All up she cycled over 3,300 km, with a hefty 63,000 meters of climbing as well. Key takeaways:Listen to your inner voice: The wild idea in your head might be the one that changes everything.Start with what you've got: You don't need a shiny gravel bike to take on an adventure.

Sachbuchrezensionen hatten in den Hamburgischen Zeitungen vor 100 Jahren keinen festen Ort, keine eigene Rubrik. Dass sie dennoch ein Bestandteil der journalistischen Arbeit waren, belegt die heutige Sammelrezension aus dem Hamburgischen Correspondenten vom 16. August 1925. Der Autor mit dem Kürzel R. M. versammelt mehrere politikwissenschaftliche Bücher, die sich mit europäischer Politik befassen. Dabei sind die großen Themen, wen wird es verwundern, die „Ismen“ auf der politischen Landkarte. Eine Analyse zum italienischen Faschismus eröffnet den Reigen, und, nach einem Abstecher auf den Balkan, beleuchten gleich mehrere Werke aus verschiedenen Perspektiven den Bolschewismus in Russland. Wie die (allesamt) Autoren über die Lage in Italien und im Osten urteilten und wo sich dabei die Hoffnung auf einen überlegenen Europäischen Machtmenschen äußert, hören wir nun von Rosa Leu.

For over three decades, retired Colonel Stu Bradin served on the front lines of some of America's most critical Special Operations missions from Central America and the Balkans to Northern Africa and Afghanistan. He led Special Forces teams under fire, built NATO's Special Operations Headquarters from the ground up, and ran multi-national, interagency fusion cells in the heart of combat zones.But in 2014, Stu Bradin saw a different kind of threat emerging: disconnected allies, stovepiped intelligence, and fragmented Special Operations communities. He knew the next fight against cyberattacks, transnational crime, and terrorist networks would require something we didn't yet have: a global SOF network. That's why he created the Global Special Operations Forces Foundation (GSOF); the first nonprofit dedicated to uniting Special Operations military, government, and commercial partners across the world.Fran Racioppi sat down with Stu during this year's SOF Week to talk about why he founded GSOF, what it takes to bring together over 60 nations and 85 industry partners, and how his experiences building NATO SOF HQ and leading interagency teams shaped the Foundation's mission. They explored what elite leadership really looks like at the global level, the danger of operating in silos, and why SOF must evolve its mindset as rapidly as its technology.Stu also broke down how GSOF accelerates innovation, helps SOF units and partners connect in real time, and creates space for public-private collaboration that can meet the speed and complexity of modern threats to answer the hardest question of today; what must Special Operations become to win the next fight?This episode is about global leadership, unity of effort, and how one Green Beret's post-military mission is helping shape the future of Special Operations across the world.Highlights0:00 Introduction2:02 Welcome to SOF Week3:17 Significance of Global SOF Foundation7:38 Prioritizing Small Businesses11:02 Defining the Next Battlefield19:00 NATO SOF23:05 American's Propensity to Serve27:33 Winning the Next Fight30:55 Getting Equipment to Warfighters35:35 What it means to be a Green BeretQuotes“What makes us different is we're international and we're joint and nobody else is that way.”“Part of what you have to do as a SOF commander in the joint environment is unite your tribes.”“The innovation comes from small businesses.”“Most small businesses fail because of catastrophic success not catastrophic failure.”“If you're wrapped in metal, you have zero probability of survival.”“You can't just assume that your enemy is ignorant because they're not.”“I wouldn't want to be on the modern battlefield.”“Our deterrent is having the best partners we can.”“We back into wars, we don't run to them.”“They're going to be our future whether we like it or not, so we've got to make sure that they are armed to do the right thing.”“I think we need to give the NCO corps a lot more latitude.”“If people know you can get to them quickly, they have to calculate for that.”“At the end of the day, most of the stuff we're fielding right now is not going to survive first contact.” “Ultimately, you have a less trained force.” “SOF, cyber, intel, information and economics.

After Aiden's birth, Lucky's world shifted from quiet celebration to high-stakes urgency when the baby vanished from the hospital nursery. He led a relentless investigation—locking down the building, questioning staff, and confronting Helena Cassadine, who denied involvement. Evidence of an inside job surfaced, pointing to nurse Jane Morgan, but Lucky's discovery of her dead with Aiden's bracelet deepened the mystery. A chilling live feed tied the abduction to Franco, with a lead tracing the baby to Franco's mother, Karen, in Oregon. Lucky tracked her down, posing as a census taker, and confirmed that “Pablo” was really Aiden. Though Karen initially threw him out, he returned, revealing he was a cop and Aiden's father. Moved by his plea, she gave him the baby. On the flight home, Lucky bonded with Aiden, privately admitting he wasn't the father but had claimed to be for the boy's safety. Back in Port Charles, the reunion brought joy to Liz and Nikolas, though Helena's shadow loomed with ominous warnings and hints about Aiden's true paternity.Even as Aiden settled back with his family, Lucky was pulled deeper into dangerous territory. He handled tense hospital interrogations, standoffs with armed gangs, and moral dilemmas about working within the law—culminating in a direct recruitment by Interpol. Agent Bates revealed a dead hitman, Ronan O'Reilly, who was Lucky's near double, and tasked him with infiltrating the Balkan's operation under Ronan's identity. In Ireland, Lucky's cover was tested immediately by Siobhan, who held him responsible for her lover's death. His unexpected compassion began to shift her suspicions, but the mission grew more perilous when he was kidnapped, escaped, and found himself torn between duty and growing feelings for her. The deeper he went, the more blurred the line became between Lucky Spencer and Ronan O'Reilly—setting him on a path where the stakes were as personal as they were deadly.#luckyspencer #elizabethwebber #jonathanjackson #rebeccaherbst #luckyandliz #luckyandlizhistory #generalhospital #gh #soapopera #generalhospitalhistory #tylerchristopher #nikolascassadine #luckyandsiobhan Hosted on Acast.

On today's episode we discuss how international and regional communist parties and actors influenced the political development of the Greek Communist Party between 1918-1956, with a special focus on the Soviet Union and the Balkans. Our guest Nikos Marantzidis published his book Under Stalin's Shadow: A Global History of Greek Communism in 2023.Book description:Under Stalin's Shadow examines the history of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) from 1918 to 1956, showing how closely national Communism was related to international developments. The history of the KKE reveals the role of Moscow in the various Communist parties of Southeastern Europe, as Nikos Marantzidis shows that Communism's international institutions (Moscow Center, Comintern, Balkan Communist Federation, Cominform, and sister parties in the Balkans) were not merely external factors influencing orientation and policy choices.Based on research from published and unpublished archival documents located in Greece, Russia, Eastern and Western Europe, and the Balkan countries, Under Stalin's Shadow traces the KKE movement's interactions with fraternal parties in neighboring states and with their acknowledged supreme mentors in Stalin's Soviet Russia. Marantzidis reveals how, because the boundaries between the national and international in the Communist world were not clearly drawn, international institutions, geopolitical soviet interests, and sister parties' strategies shaped in fundamental ways the KKE's leadership, its character and decision making as a party, and the way of life of its followers over the years.Nikos Marantzidis is Professor of Political Science in the Balkan, Slavic, and Oriental Studies Department at the University of Macedonia and Visiting Professor at Charles University in Prague. He has published extensively on Greek and European Communism and Greek civil war history
Remembering Suffering and Resistance investigates the role of the Serbian Orthodox Church in shaping memory politics in Serbia following the fall of Slobodan Milošević. It argues that in periods of societal instability, religious institutions mobilise their memory potential to reaffirm their public relevance. The study analyses the Church's mnemonic strategies—both liturgical and non-liturgical—within post-socialist, post-conflict, and post-secular contexts. By engaging in diverse commemorative practices, Hofmeister argues, the Church effectively reasserted its authority and legitimacy in Serbia's public sphere after 2000.

They discuss the historical significance of the event, the life and legacy of General Tibbets, the preparation and execution of the mission, and the impact of nuclear weapons on warfare. The conversation also touches on the importance of educating future generations about World War II and the necessity of a strong nuclear deterrent. Paul W.

The general commanded the 393rd Bomb Squadron and 509th Bomb Wing, both commanded by his grandfather during World War II. He flew combat missions in support of operations in Southwest Asia, the Balkans and Afghanistan and was awarded the Bronze Star and Distinguished Flying Cross.

Show Notes Episode 502: Way Down In Kosovo Part 4 of Summer Series 2025 This week Host Dave Bledsoe was savagely ejected from a bar in the Little Serbia neighborhood of Queens when he ordered a Belgrade Car Bomb. (Yes, there is a Little Serbia in Ridgewood Queens) On the show this week we finished up the Summer Series with that time the United States bombed the Balkans because the President couldn't keep his dick in his pants. We talk about 1999's Operation Allied Force in Kosovo. Along the way we hear about yet another time Dave almost got kicked out of the military but didn't. (It's like they never should have let him in!) Then discover why the Balkans is such a trouble spot in Europe. (Colonialism, but in this case, Roman Empire colonialism.) Then we dive right into post World War Two Yugoslavia. (Do we mention the car, you know that we do!) and how this created a lot of people in a small area who all hated each other's guts. When the Berlin Wall dropped, followed by the dropping of Bill Clinton's trousers, the US and our NATO allies found ourselves blowing up some huts and bombing some schools! (Don't worry, a lot of them were Muslim schools!) Finally we examine why doing the right thing for the wrong reasons kind of nullifies doing the right thing. Our Sponsor this week is Safe-Tern,we find interns you won't WANT to have sex with! We open the show with Bill explaining where and why we are bombing and close with Talon Sei demonstrating why Ska can turn even the worst song into something GREAT!

In This Episode You Will Hear: • I don't think I could beat Marcus at arm wrestling if I can't pick up a bowling ball. (1:58) • You do realize there's a thing called old man strength? (5:53) • [Rob O'Neil] I have a podcast as well, called “The Operator.” We're called The Operator because if you're doing anything, you're an operator. (6:18) • Having a big man to kick your ass and teach you wind a bobbin; you realize there is skill here. (9:59) • When people quit BUDS, it's not because “this is hard”. [It's because] I'm tired of the broken foot.; I'm tired of the shin splints; I'm tired of my dislocated shoulder; I'm tired. (21:20) • In BUDS, one of the biggest problems is eating too much. Like I want 5 cheeseburgers, but we have a 4-mile run afterwards. (26:35) • [Rob] and for everyone that doesn't know, can you explain what a SDV is? (39:20) [Marcus] Imagine a mini submarine and shrink it down. The difference is that a submarine is dry inside, and the SDV is completely full of water. (39:23) • Listen to Marcus discuss the details of being in an SDV for 8 hours. Talk about ultimate torture - If you have a deep freeze in your garage, fill that sucker full of water, crawl in there and sit down for 8 hours. (40:32) • The first time I got in there, I was terrified. (45:29) • [Marcus] There's stuff that happens to us out there. Sometimes safety gets in the way of it. (58:49) • [After falling down the mountain during Operation Red Wings] I could hear that stream running. I've got to get me water, but I kept thinking I can't drink out of it, because my buddies are in it. (81:07) • If you want to make God laugh, tell Him what your plan is. (92:04) • [Marcus] Bro, when you saw that son of a bitch's face [Osama Bin Laden], what was the first thing you saw? [Rob O'Neal] I saw his nose. He was skinny, wearing white – tall. (95:22 ) • My nickname was “Nisro” (Navy SEAL Rob O'Neal). When they asked “Who got him?” They go “Nisro,” and they said “Fuck! We're never gonna hear the end of it.” (97:30) Support Robert: - IG: mchooyah - Host of The Operator Podcast Support TNQ - IG: team_neverquit , marcusluttrell , melanieluttrell , huntero13 - https://www.patreon.com/teamneverquit Sponsors: - dripdrop.com/TNQ - cargurus.com/TNQ - armslist.com/TNQ - partnersinbuilding.com - Navyfederal.org - - You can find Cremo's new line of antiperspirants and deodorants at Target or Target.com - WARFARE IN THEATERS APRIL 11th Watch Trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JER0Fkyy3tw First Look Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3DWuqiAUKg&t=3s - - PXGapparel.com/TNQ - bruntworkwear.com/TNQ - Selectquote.com/TNQ - Groundnews.com/TNQ - You can find Cremo's new line of antiperspirants and deodorants at Target or Target.com - shipsticks.com/TNQ - Robinhood.com/gold - strawberry.me/TNQ - stopboxusa.com {TNQ} - ghostbed.com/TNQ [TNQ] - kalshi.com/TNQ - joinbilt.com/TNQ - Tonal.com [TNQ] - greenlight.com/TNQ - PDSDebt.com/TNQ - drinkAG1.com/TNQ - Shadyrays.com [TNQ] - qualialife.com/TNQ [TNQ] - Hims.com/TNQ - Shopify.com/TNQ - Aura.com/TNQ - Policygenius.com - TAKELEAN.com [TNQ] - usejoymode.com [TNQ]

He was a disciple of St Peter, born in Antioch. St Peter took him to Rome (he was bishop of Antioch before being bishop of Rome, so Antioch is as much the 'see of Peter' as is Rome) and made him Bishop of Ravenna. In Ravenna, he healed the wife of the military governor of a grave illness, after which the governor and his household confessed Christ and were baptized. Apollinarius was able to form a house church in the governor's home, from which he labored for the Gospel for twelve years. Eventually, he was condemned to exile in Illyria for his faith, and began a life of missionary travel in the Balkans, travelling as far as the Danube. After twelve years of this work, he was driven back to Italy by the hostility of some of the pagans. He was received with joy by the people of Ravenna, which aroused the envy of the pagan elders, who denounced him to the Emperor Vespasian. When the elders asked permission to kill Apollinarius, the Emperor only gave them permission to drive him from the city, wisely saying 'It is not seemly to take revenge on behalf of the gods, for they can themselves be revenged on their enemies if they are angered.' But, in defiance of the Imperial decree, the pagan leaders attacked and killed Apollinarius with knives. His holy relics are preserved in Ravenna, in a church dedicated to him.
In Bulgaria and throughout the Balkans it seems that political experiments are coming to an end. Democracy is ending in Yugoslavia, Agrarianism is being steadily killed off, and moderates are under pressure from all sides. As the 1920s and season 10 come to a close, the Lyapchev government faces its toughest challenges yet. Supporters like you make this podcast happen!
