Podcasts about blockades

Mit einer Zweidrittelmehrheit im Unterhaus kann Japans Premierministerin Sanae Takaichi ihre sicherheitspolitische Agenda weitgehend ohne parlamentarische Blockade vorantreiben. Pekings Druck im Vorfeld der Wahl hat den Kurs Tokios nicht gebremst – im Gegenteil.

For more than six decades, the U.S. has targeted Cuba with economic sanctions, blockades and campaigns to destabilize the Cuban government. Now, Trump's latest salvo toward Cuba is his January executive order that sanctions any nation that provides oil to Cuba. The result has led to severe consequences for the Cuban economy and is harshly affecting the daily life of Cuban citizens. Medea Benjamin has just returned from a humanitarian trip to Cuba. Medea Benjamin is a cofounder of both CODEPINK and the international human rights organization, Global Exchange. She joins us on the podcast today.

The thin veneer of Canadian niceness has melted under the heat of the Winter Olympics. With the US taking gold in a sport Canada literally invented, the rage is palpable. Well, at least they still have exceeding long waits to receive limited healthcare. Mexico killed a prominent cartel leader, and now we're deep in it. Blockades, firefights and impotent government means problems. Is it time for President Trump to step in? Special guest Warren Smith joins us from the Secret Scholar Society to provide his brand of critical thinking to the day.

Helge Heynold liest: Versuch's Kaninchen 1 - von Fabian Vogt

Kennst du das: Du achtest auf deine Ernährung, bewegst dich regelmäßig und trotzdem fühlt sich dein Körper plötzlich festgefahren an? Viele Frauen erleben, dass sich der Körper ab 40 anfühlt, als wäre er nicht mehr im „Verbrennungsmodus“. Viele gehen dann schnell davon aus, dass der Stoffwechsel langsamer geworden ist oder gar „kaputt“ ist. Doch was, wenn dein Stoffwechsel nicht defekt ist, sondern schlicht überlastet? Wenn dein Körper nein sagt, obwohl du alles richtig machst, fehlt es dir nicht an Disziplin. Dein System ist überfordert. Gerade im Frühjahr wollen viele ihren Stoffwechsel wieder in Schwung bringen. Doch wenn er blockiert wirkt, lohnt sich ein neuer Blickwinkel. Ich erkläre dir in der heutigen Podcastfolge, worauf du jetzt besonders achten kannst, um deinen Stoffwechsel wieder anzukurbeln. Du erfährst: ✨ warum dein Stoffwechsel ab 40 blockiert wirken kann ✨ wie du deinen Stoffwechsel wieder in Schwung bringen kannst ✨ welche Rolle deine Leber als Stoffwechselzentrale wirklich spielt ✨ wie Blutzucker, Insulin und Stress zusammenhängen ✨ warum klassische Diätstrategien die Blockade oft verschärfen ✨ Denn oft liegt das Problem nicht in der Disziplin, sondern in einem System, das entlastet werden möchte.

Wir stehen nicht am Anfang eines Tools. Wir stehen am Anfang einer neuen Exponentialität. In dieser Folge von AI or DIE spreche ich mit Tobi Nehren von areto.strategy über das, was viele gerade spüren, aber kaum jemand klar formuliert: KI ist kein Feature. KI ist ein Strukturbruch. Während einige noch Copilot-Lizenzen verteilen und hoffen, dass sich Produktivität von selbst ergibt, stellt sich die eigentliche Frage: Was passiert mit deinem Geschäftsmodell, wenn Intelligenz plötzlich unbegrenzt verfügbar wird? Wir sprechen über: • Warum der Mittelstand gerade zwischen Hype und Ernüchterung schwankt • Weshalb „Effizienzdenken“ zur größten Blockade wird • Ob Konzernstrukturen oder Mittelstand schneller transformieren • Welche Jobs wirklich gefährdet sind und welche nicht • Warum Nichtstun die riskanteste Strategie ist Dabei geht es nicht um Technikdetails. Es geht um Haltung. Um Mut. Und um die Bereitschaft, Zukunft aktiv zu gestalten. Denn eines ist klar: Die Transformation kommt, mit oder ohne dich. Und die Frage ist nicht, ob KI dein Unternehmen verändert. Sondern ob du die Veränderung steuerst oder von ihr überrollt wirst. ⸻ ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 – Intro & technischer Fehlstart 04:10 – Wer ist Tobi Nehren & was macht areto? 05:50 – Warum „Zukunftsberatung“ mehr ist als KI-Beratung 07:20 – Ernüchterung im Mittelstand: Hype vs. Realität 09:30 – Warum Use-Case-Workshops oft scheitern 10:40 – Sind wir wirklich schon über dem KI-Hype? 12:00 – Intelligenz-Exponentialität: Was jetzt anders ist 14:10 – Angst oder Optimismus?

Today's episode is the third in a series of three that examine the potential consequences for China if a military operation against Taiwan were to fail. In each of these episodes, we're speaking with authors of a recently published German Marshall Fund study of the possible costs that China would incur across four different, but interrelated areas: the Chinese economy, the military, Chinese social stability, and international costs. The report is titled, “If China Attacks Taiwan” and it is posted on GMFUS.org.  Our podcast today focuses on the potential costs for the Chinese economy.To recap, the study considered two scenarios that could take place in the next five years. In the first scenario, a minor skirmish escalates into a multi-week maritime blockade of Taiwan by China. Although several dozen members of the Chinese and Taiwanese military are killed, U.S. intervention eventually forces China to de-escalate.  In the second scenario, a conflict escalates into a full-fledged invasion, with Chinese strikes on not only Taiwan but also U.S. forces in Japan and Guam. After several months of heavy fighting, Chinese forces are degraded and eventually withdraw after suffering many tens of thousands of casualties.Our guests today are Charlie Vest and Logan Wright, who co-authored the chapter on the implications for the Chinese economy of a failed operation against Taiwan. Logan is a partner at Rhodium Group and leads the firm's work on China's economy and its global impact. Charlie is an associate director at Rhodium Group, where he manages corporate research and advisory work on China.Timestamps:[00:00] Introduction[02:34] Key Takeaways: China's Ambitions vs. Economic Realities [05:41] The Escalation Dilemma in China's Decisionmaking[09:56] Immediate Disruptions to Trade and FDI[13:52] Gray-Zone Military Engagement and Political Pressures[16:48] Could Beijing Underestimate the Costs of US Intervention? [24:12] Policy Tools and Limitations for Economic Stabilization and Recovery[27:19] Long-Term Economic Effects[29:24] Impact of Social Instability

In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan details a shocking weekend in Minnesota that left one activist dead, a federal officer permanently injured, and the state spiraling toward open defiance of federal law. Bryan walks listeners through the fatal shooting of activist Alex Pretti during an ICE and Border Patrol arrest, the discovery that Democrat-linked activists are organizing surveillance cells to track federal officers, and the revelation that one protestor later bit off the finger of a DHS agent. He explains the legal facts of the encounter, the role of Governor Tim Walz's campaign strategist in mobilizing protestors, and why federal investigations, lawsuits, and even a government shutdown may follow. The episode then pivots globally. Bryan reveals new details about President Trump's capture of Nicolás Maduro, including a secret directed-energy-style weapon that disabled Russian and Chinese systems. He covers Trump's consideration of a naval blockade of Cuba, the pressure campaign squeezing Mexican oil shipments to Havana, and Washington's push to rapidly restart Venezuelan oil production while cutting China out. Finally, Bryan reports encouraging news from Cambodia as U.S. naval access expands in the Gulf of Thailand, then closes with a stunning development inside China as President Xi purges a top general and boyhood friend amid allegations of corruption and espionage. He explains why the move weakens China's military readiness and could delay any action against Taiwan, while underscoring that Xi now rules China as an unchecked dictator.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: January 26 2026 Wright Report, Minnesota ICE protest shooting Alex Pretti, DHS officer finger bitten protest, Tim Walz strategist activist Signal cells, Minnesota sanctuary state defiance, DHS funding shutdown threat, Trump Maduro secret weapon discombobulator, directed energy weapon Venezuela, Cuba naval blockade Helms-Burton, Mexico oil squeeze Sheinbaum, Venezuela oil restart China cut out, Cambodia Ream Naval Base U.S. Navy, Xi Jinping military purge general espionage, China Taiwan invasion delay

Ingo und Jiffer sprechen über den jüngsten ICE-Einsatz in Minneapolis, bei dem schon wieder ein unbeteiligter US-Bürger von Beamten der US-Einwanderungsbehörde erschossen wurde. Zehntausende Demonstranten protestierten daraufhin gegen die brutale und willkürliche Gewalt der Bundespolizisten. Jiffer bemerkt: "Es geht hier nicht mehr um Einwanderung, sondern um Einschüchterung, um einen ideologischen Krieg zwischen MAGA gegen WOKE". Die beiden diskutieren die Frage, ob es vor den Zwischenwahlen im November zu "bürgerkriegsähnlichen Zuständen" kommen könnte - mit Demonstrationen, Ausschreitungen und weiteren tödlichen Schüssen. Überspannt Trump da gerade den Bogen? Oder könnte das Ganze gar eine Strategie der Trump-Regierung sein, um US-Bürger einzuschüchtern und vom Wählen abzuhalten? Nach den erneuten tödlichen Schüssen fordern auch immer mehr Republikaner die Aufklärung des ICE-Einsatzes. Und die Demokraten drohen mit der Blockade des Haushaltsgesetzes - damit wachsen die Chancen für einen neuen Shutdown. Ihr habt Fragen an Jiffer und Ingo?

Trump Considers Naval Blockade to Halt Cuban Oil Imports & Left's ICE Detention of 5-Year-Old Narrative IMPLODES, As Extensive Fraud Exposed Nationwide

Concern about the possibility of a Chinese attack against Taiwan has surged in recent years. Wargames and research studies have focused primarily on identifying gaps in US and allied capabilities with the goal of strengthening deterrence. A relatively understudied question, however, is the potential consequences for China if a military operation against Taiwan were to fail. To address this gap, the German Marshall Fund led a study of the possible costs that China would incur across four different, but interrelated areas: the Chinese economy, the military, Chinese social stability, and international costs.GMF commissioned four papers on these key areas. We considered two scenarios that could realistically take place in the next five years. In the first scenario, a minor skirmish escalated into a multi-week maritime blockade of Taiwan by China. Although several dozen members of the Chinese and Taiwanese military were killed, US intervention eventually forced China to de-escalate.  In the second scenario, a conflict escalated into a full-fledged invasion, with Chinese strikes on not only Taiwan but also U.S. forces in Japan and Guam. After several months of heavy fighting, Chinese forces were degraded and eventually withdrew after suffering many tens of thousands of casualties.The authors found that the costs to China of a failed military action against Taiwan would likely be considerable. We believe their findings are important and warrant wide dissemination. In this podcast, we'll discuss the report's major conclusions and implications. Then we'll talk about the potential impact of a failed Chinese attempt to take Taiwan on China's military capabilities and the possible international costs that Beijing could face.  Our next two China Global podcasts will examine the implications of a failed military operation against Taiwan for China's economy and social stability.Our guests today are Zack Cooper and Joel Wuthnow. Zack is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and lecturer at Princeton University.  Joel is a senior research fellow in the Center for the Study of Chinese Military Affairs within the Institute for National Strategic Studies at NDU. Joel's paper and this interview reflect only his personal views and not those of the National Defense University, the Department of War, or the US government.Timestamps: [00:00] Introduction  [03:22] Implications for China, the United States, and Taiwan [06:31] Actions to Strengthen Deterrence  [08:50] Evaluating Costs and Risks for Chinese Decisionmakers[11:46] Lessons Learned for the PLA [14:05] Steps to Avoid Another Attack [17:14] Intensifying Frictions between Party and Military?  [19:53] Anticipating US Intervention as a Military Variable [22:49] Countries and Organizations Likely to Respond to China[25:55] Potential Diplomatic Actions and Costs[31:50] A Treaty Alliance with Taiwan [34:44] Why International Costs Matter to China

Cuba's Collapse Amidst U.S. Oil Blockade and Economic Ruin. Guest: PROFESSOR EVAN ELLIS, U.S. Army War College. The Trump administration has halted oil shipments to Cuba, exacerbating a crisis where the electrical grid is failing and life is becoming "impossible." Despite minimal aid from Mexico, the repressive communist apparatus remains ingrained, and the regime is expected to muddle through despite massive out-migration.1899 CUBA

2026-01-12 | UPDATES #097 | Another Strategic Catastrophe for Putin? The Quiet Squeeze on Transnistria. A story has been ricocheting across some of the more strategic pro-Ukraine feeds and Signal chats but seems to have made barely a dent in the mainstream media coverage: Ukraine and Moldova “quietly” sealed every remaining supply route into Russian-controlled Transnistria at midnight on New Year's Day — cutting off Moscow's troops without firing a shot. It's been framed as a sudden, surgical chokehold. A clean geopolitical kill. It's bold but barely noticed. On a strategic level, Transnistria is a problem for Moscow. A trapped garrison. A propaganda lever. A pro-Russian militia force, and Russian aligned military base right on the edge of Europe but potentially becoming part of the EU with Moldova's accession. This surely cannot be allowed to pass. It should also be seen as a potential sabotage platform, in a year where Russian hybrid warfare operations against Europe are likely to expand dramatically. ----------SOURCES: Euromaidan Press — Correction/retraction on the “New Year's midnight blockade” claim (Jan 12, 2026).

Never has so much been misunderstood by so many. In this episode, we break down what President Trump is actually doing in Venezuela—and why claims of “war” completely miss the point. From legally enforced sanctions and naval blockades to collapsing Venezuelan oil production and China's growing energy crisis, this may be one of the most consequential geopolitical maneuvers of our lifetime. This isn't regime change by bombs. It's power through courts, sanctions, energy leverage, and economic reality—executed entirely within the law. Is Trump building his own version of OPEC? Is China being economically cornered? And why does Venezuela suddenly have no choice but to comply? This is next-level strategy—and almost nobody is explaining it correctly.

Air Date: 1/3/2026 Imperialism is best thought of as a "Wealth Pump," extracting wealth from one country and depositing it in another. Venezuela has wealth and wealth is the only thing Trump cares about, his willingness to break his promise of being the peace president and go along with traditional Republican hawks is not a complicated mystery.

THE ATOMIC BOMB AND POST-WAR LEADERSHIP Colleague Craig Symonds. Nimitz and King believed a naval blockade could force Japan's surrender without a costly invasion, which they feared would result in millions of deaths. Nimitz was informed early about the atomic bomb to ensure it wouldn't interfere with operations. After the war, despite resistance from the aviation community and Secretary Forrestal, Nimitz served a two-year term as Chief of Naval Operations. Spruance, denied a fifth star in favor of Halsey, took the high road by leading the Naval War College, ensuring future officers learned from the Pacific war's lessons.
