They talk about how Trump's second term differs from the first; revenge politics and the liberal “lawfare” frame; mass deportation and the war on migrants; “domains of rightlessness” and undocumented people as a lever to expand state power; the imperial presidency and unitary executive theory; how the carceral state and the war on terror laid the groundwork for Trump 2.0; the breakdown of postwar liberal anti-fascist constraints and the collapse of the Nazi taboo; and China and spheres of influence.

2025 has been an unprecedented year. Donald Trump's tariff war, conflicts in the Middle East, Sudan and Ukraine, and breakneck innovation in AI have put enormous pressure on the existing world order. Now 2026 is set to be another test of resilience for the global economy. All eyes are on Rachel Reeves to deliver growth; how will the new Budget, anticipated to contain cuts and tax raises, shape the nation for the year to come? What does the rising wave of populism from left and right mean for the economic policies of incumbent parties in the UK, Europe, US and beyond? And how will the United States and China's battle for supremacy continue to impact us all? In February 2026, Chief Economics Commentator for the Financial Times Martin Wolf joined us to explore how these tensions will shape the world economy in the year ahead, and what new threats and opportunities could be on the horizon. Widely regarded as one of the world's most influential writers on the global economy and a multi-award-winning financial journalist, Wolf has been chronicling and analysing geopolitical and economic upheaval for nearly 40 years. He has written five bestselling books. His latest, The Crisis of Democratic Capitalism, maps out the implications of globalisation, technological development and the impact of democratic decline on the global economy.

SURRENDER MONKEY STARMER? ON EU, BORDERS, CHINA 15 U-TURNS  #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #Live #Starmer #SurrenderMonkey #UKPolitics #Labour #EU #BorderCrisis #ChinaEmbassy #ChagosIslands  What's a surrender monkey? It's a political coward. A leader who talks tough, waves the flag, then folds at the first sign of pressure. Someone who gives ground, again and again, while pretending it's all part of a "reset". And that, folks, is exactly what Keir Starmer has become.  The latest big relaunch, reboot, reinvention — call it what you like — is just another desperate attempt by Starmer to reinvent himself again. New suit, new slogan, same weak leader. He doesn't need re-booting. He needs booting out.  Starmer said he wouldn't crawl back to the EU — now he's doing just that. He talked tough on border security — now it looks like he's simply given up. He's capitulated to China over the super-embassy. He's rolled over on the Chagos Islands. Yet somehow, with a straight face, he tells us Britain must be "war-ready" for Russia. You couldn't make it up.  This is not a fighter. This is a man in managed retreat — surrendering abroad, wobbling at home, and presiding over 15 policy U-turns that expose a government with no core beliefs and no backbone. A lame-duck premiership is unfolding before our eyes.  Every day he clings on, the country is dragged further down with him. Starmer should do the decent thing: admit defeat and go now, instead of letting this sorry farce grind on. That's the verdict — Jon Gaunt says it as it is.  #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #Live #KeirStarmer #Starmer #SurrenderMonkey #UKPolitics #Labour #LabourGovernment #Uturns #EU #Borders #BorderCrisis #China #ChinaEmbassy #ChagosIslands #Russia #WarReady #LameDuckPM #PoliticalCrisis #Britain  Jon Gaunt, Jon Gaunt TV, live, Keir Starmer, Starmer, surrender monkey, UK politics, Labour, Labour government, policy u-turns, EU, borders, border security, China, China super embassy, Chagos Islands, Russia, war ready, lame duck prime minister, political crisis, Britain This is political blogging and hard-hitting social commentary from Triple Sony Gold Award-winning talk radio legend, Jon Gaunt — former host on BBC, Talk Radio, and Sky News.

Judge Thomas G. Moukawsher is a Connecticut complex litigation judge and former lawyer, legislator and lobbyist. He is the author of “The Common Flaw: Needless Complexity in the Courts and 50 Ways to Reduce it.”    He recently authored various articles on the Supreme Court's immunity ruling and what it means. President Trump has taken the country into full retreat of world leadership by withdrawing from several international organizations such as the World Health Organization and Paris Climate Agreement.  Most hard hit are vital UN agencies that directly benefit the US. He wants to divide the world into fiefdom of dominance by China, Russia and the US, powered and legalized by might makes right, rather than depend on the Rule of Law. As the US voluntarily sidelines itself, China will gladly fill the void. Almost 100-years ago, similar actions occurred that destabilized the world and led to two major World Wars.   

Wall Street closed the week slightly higher, with the S&P 500 edging up as cooler US inflation offset weakness in tech. Treasury yields fell after the CPI reading kept hopes for Fed rate cuts alive, while Coinbase rebounded as Bitcoin surged to US$69,000. Elsewhere, European shares edged lower amid renewed concerns around AI valuations. In commodities, oil settled higher on optimism around the US inflation outlook, gold jumped more than 2% on rate-cut hopes, while iron ore slipped ahead of a holiday in China. Back home, Aussie shares are set to open higher ahead of a bumper week of earnings.

For review:1. Aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78), its escorts and embarked Carrier Air Wing 8 have been tasked from their current position in the Caribbean to the Middle East to support a U.S. naval buildup in the region.2. Asked Friday about potential regime change in Iran, US President Donald Trump said, “it seems like that would be the best thing that could happen,” as he confirmed sending a second aircraft carrier to the Middle East “in case we don't make a deal” with the Islamic Republic.3. US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to intensify the “maximum pressure policy” in order to force Iran to give up its nuclear program, including clamping down on the sale of Tehran's oil to China, according to a Saturday report citing two US officials.4. The US military is preparing for the possibility of sustained, weeks-long operations against Iran if President Donald Trump orders an attack, two US officials told Reuters, in what could become a far more serious conflict than previously seen between the countries.5. The Board of Peace's High Representative for Gaza Nickolay Mladenov said at the Munich Security Conference on Friday that the Palestinian technocratic committee tasked with governing Gaza in place of Hamas cannot enter the Strip if violations of the ceasefire continue.6. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has asked Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar to represent Israel at the inaugural Board of Peace meeting in Washington, DC next Thursday.7. The leader of an anti-Hamas militia based in IDF-controlled areas of the southern Gaza Strip said recently that it is working on demolishing the terror group's tunnels, a confirmation that further shows Israel's support for the armed gang.8. A wave of Israeli airstrikes in several areas of southern Lebanon this evening targeted Hezbollah weapon depots and rocket launchers, the military says.9. The governments of Russia and Ukraine confirmed Friday that they would participate in a third round of U.S.-mediated peace talks next week, on Feb. 17 and 18 in Geneva. 10. U.S. Secretary of State Rubio offered a reassuring message to America's allies on Saturday, striking a less aggressive but still firm tone about the administration's intent to reshape the trans-Atlantic alliance and push its priorities.11. Co-development of the French-German-Spanish Next-Generation Fighter (NGF) is almost certainly headed for collapse, with negotiations between Airbus and Dassault halted on the next phase of the project amid a long-running industrial dispute over leadership and workshare, an industry source said today. 12. As part of discussions between Belgium and US giant Lockheed Martin for a potential deal covering 11 additional F-35A fifth-generation fighter jets, Brussels is pushing hard for hefty domestic industrial returns, according to the country's defense minister. 

“People have misunderstood that [Greenland] is somehow a President Donald Trump issue, and it's not,” says Alex Gray, who previously served as National Security Council chief of staff and deputy assistant to the president.So why does Greenland matter? And why has it become such a massive issue?In fact, Gray explained to me, multiple American presidents have tried to purchase or acquire Greenland over the last 160 years. Andrew Johnson was the first in 1867. Woodrow Wilson tried during the First World War. And Harry Truman tried right after World War II, Gray says.In my deep-dive interview with Gray, a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council and co-founder of American Global Strategies, he lays out Greenland's geostrategic importance to America's national security and what it would mean if Greenland became dependent on China.In 1952, the United States signed a treaty with Denmark, still in effect today, that provides America with extensive military access to Greenland. Gray's overarching concern is what will happen when Greenland is likely to become independent in five or 10 years.For many years, China has shown great interest in establishing dominance over the Arctic region and is regularly moving its submarines up to the North Pole.Gray is convinced that after independence, Greenland is likely to fall prey to the Chinese Communist Party's “well-worn playbook” to gain influence and eventually control the island. He calls it the “Solomon Islands scenario.”“They start offering Belt and Road projects. They start buying dual-use facilities. They buy ports. They're taking over airfields. Next thing you know, we're hearing conversations about potentially having [China's People's Liberation Army] naval access to ports in the Solomons. … This is a well-worn Chinese playbook,” Gray says.Beyond Greenland, we also dive into security threats related to America's northern neighbor and the implications of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's overtures in Beijing.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Whether free and fair elections can be saved with the SAVE Act is the first topic of debate this week, along with a celebration of the Trump Administration rolling back the EPA's power to make our energy scarce and expensive. Steve describes this bold step as the "Inchon Landing" in the war against the administrative state. Forget Nixon-to-China cliches: only Trump could take such a bold step that no other conventional Republican would dare take. We also spend a good deal of time recalling the passing, ten years ago now, of Justice Antonin Scalia, whose shadow over contemporary jurisprudence continues to lengthen. We think Scalia is displacing Holmes as the most significant jurist of the last century for his enduring influence and for his central role in reviving constituitional originalism, even though he once described himself as a "faint-hearted originalist." There's a paradox at work in Scalia's jurisprudential legacy that requires someone like G.K. Chesterton to understand—and that, kids, ought to be a strong hint as to exactly what it is.

Check out host Bidemi Ologunde's new show: The Work Ethic Podcast, available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.Email: bidemiologunde@gmail.comIn this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde takes listeners inside a rare moment when Beijing's usually sealed-off security apparatus is leaking signals to the outside world: a run of espionage-linked detentions and purges touching the PLA command pipeline, and even the state-finance sphere, including the reported downfall of Bank of China executive Lin Jingzhen. What does it mean when China's leadership allows public visibility into cases that would normally be buried? Are these arrests a sign of genuine counterintelligence panic, a political loyalty sweep, or both at once? And if some of the targets include high-ranking officers with real warfighting experience, how does that reshape risk calculations around Taiwan: deterrence, timing, and the chance of miscalculation? Bidemi also maps the second-order ripple effects: crisis communications with the U.S., signals to allies and rivals, procurement and readiness shocks, and the way "anti-espionage" politics can tighten across finance, tech, and society.On the Bid Picture Podcast, I talk about big ideas, and Lembrih is one of them.

From sweeping tariffs to threats of military action and withdrawal from international institutions, Trump has demonstrated a willingness to break with the United States' approach to international relations. When the US shifts from global order architect to challenger, what kind of system emerges, and how do other countries react? On the GZERO World Podcast, Ian Bremmer sits down with former US Trade Representative and Council on Foreign Relations President Michael Froman to discuss.Michael Froman tells Ian Bremmer that under Trump's second term, he's been less surprised by a single policy shift than by how quickly other countries have adapted to them. As allies hedge and adversaries like China step into new leadership roles, they unpack how the world order is evolving and discuss the most pressing issues.

Precious metals markets showed resilience this week, with gold holding near $5,000 per oz and silver closing at $77.37 per oz despite a sharp, headline-driven flash crash selloff sparked by a now-denied report about Russia rejoining the U.S. dollar system. The brief volatility underscored how sensitive markets remain to geopolitical narratives, but physical demand trends suggest underlying strength. Second, tightening physical silver supply continues to stand out globally, with Chinese exchange silver bar inventories falling toward 25 million ounces and COMEX registered inventory down roughly 54% since India's surge in imports last fall. Strong buying from Turkey, India, and robust sales at the Perth Mint reinforce the idea that retail and institutional investors alike are rotating more aggressively into silver. Finally, the broader macro backdrop remains firmly supportive of bullion, as U.S. deficits approach $3 trillion annually and total federal debt nears $40 trillion. With stock-to-gold ratios breaking down and fiscal discipline appearing unlikely in the near term, the long-term debasement narrative continues to drive strategic allocations toward gold and other precious metals. Listen this week's podcast with an open mind — beyond the flash crash headlines and the political theater of ongoing congressional hearings, the real story unfolding in gold and silver may be far more significant than most investors realize.

China Government Turns APPS into SPY Tools | Ex FBI Agent Explainsew Episode

In this episode of "World Review," Ivo Daalder, Alexander Ward of the Wall Street Journal, Steven Erlanger of the New York Times, and Karin Axelsson of Politiken explore significant geopolitical developments as of February 14, 2026. You'll discover how European leaders are fiercely defending their version of the rules-based order against American actions they see as disruptive, from Greenland to NATO. They dive into the underlying threats: Russia's military posture, China's ambitions, and the battle over global influence. They unpack the sharp differences between Vance and Rubio, illustrating the disconnect between external threats and internal priorities driving U. S. and European policies.We break down the shifting perceptions around NATO's core threat focus, the debate over strategic autonomy, and the future of transatlantic trust. Why do Europeans feel they must defend a world order that the U.S. seems ready to abandon? What's ultimately at stake if this fragile alliance fractures? And, crucially, what happens next — will we see a rupture or a pivotal opportunity to rebuild? If you're curious about how global powers are recalibrating their relationships amid chaos, and what that means for the future of international stability, this episode is your essential guide. Perfect for policymakers, students of geopolitics, or anyone wondering whether the old rules still matter — or if a new order is emerging in real time.

NAVO-lidstaten mogen elkaar graag vliegen afvangen als het gaat om zwakte en betrouwbaarheid. Maar waar zit de echte kwetsbaarheid van het bondgenootschap, militair gezien? Telegraaf-correspondent Paul Jansen bezocht afgelopen week in Washington een bijeenkomst met admiraal Pierre Vandier, de NAVO-topmilitair die de alliantie voorbereidt op ‘het conflict van morgen'. De Fransman waarschuwt dat het Atlantische bondgenootschap in een technologische wapenwedloop met China is verwikkeld. En daarbij zijn geld, materieel – en zelfs Donald Trump – niet eens het grootste probleem.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, we'll talk about how the monumental Daoist murals of Yongle Palace, which were created amid war, transformed Chinese religious art, and later survived an unprecedented relocation to become one of China's greatest cultural treasures.

In Ep. 130, Ray and Jim sit down with Clive Hamilton, one of the world's leading experts on Chinese Communist Party political influence operations. Hamilton is the author of the groundbreaking books Silent Invasion: China's Influence in Australia and Hidden Hand: Exposing How the Chinese Communist Party Is Reshaping the World.In this compelling podcast, Hamilton shares the dramatic story behind Silent Invasion - a book so controversial that three major Australian publishers rejected it for fear of Beijing's retaliation. He reveals the personal costs of exposing CCP interference, from cyber-attacks that destroyed his laptop to being banned from China and labeled a "black hand" by Beijing's official media.Hamilton breaks down how the CCP's United Front Work Department orchestrates political warfare through elite capture, diaspora mobilization, and covert influence in universities, media, and politics. He explains how Australia's 2018 counter-interference laws and Foreign Influence Transparency Scheme (FITS) emerged as a democratic defense - and evaluates their real-world effectiveness, including enforcement challenges and necessary reforms.The conversation explores critical lessons for the Philippines and other Indo-Pacific nations facing similar CCP pressure, especially regarding South China Sea tensions. Hamilton offers practical advice on designing swift, effective counter-interference legislation while protecting diaspora communities from discrimination.This is essential listening for anyone interested in China's strategy, foreign influence operations, national security, democratic resilience, and Indo-Pacific geopolitics.

Send a textOne mythical bird, several wings:although this is no myth, but the monstrous reality of the governance of our planet. While we are being kept distracted with pseudo wars between the US, Russia, and China, the state heads of these nations are colluding behind the scenes, unified in one agenda. All three are signatories to the UN's agenda, Project 2030.  Russia and China align with the exact  same digital goals as the West. We are not on the verge of a nuclear war, or “alien invasion”.  The real battle is here: Project 2030. We must awaken and rise to safeguard human privacy, freedom and consciousness.While being distracted by the borders of separation, they are skillfully casting a net around us. We are being systematically corralled into a cage.  Project 2030 is the most elevated global agenda of colonization wherein we are being gathered as assets of world governance. We must if we are to survive, reclaim our sovereignty. Our history of colonization is still the functioning agenda except it has advanced beyond the beyond of geopolitical control strategies: Earlier, the colonizers insatiable appetite centered on degrading and profiting ancient sovereign nations.  At the Berlin Conference 1884-1885, with Britain and France at the helm, 15 European countries set out to dissect the Continent of Africa into 55 nations. arbitrary borders were drawn disregarding cultural tropes. They established boundaries without African consent or regard for ethnic, linguistic, or social structures, separated tribes and combined hostile groups, leading to lasting ethnic strife and political violence. With France coveting 500 billions dollars each year in colonial taxes from Africa, the wealth stolen from plundering Africa would exceed more 50 trillion dollars to date.  As Colonization continued, Britain protected its imperialistic agenda by dividing India into two countries. Creating Pakistan was a decisive move to counteracting a potentially strong, unified India. Pakistan was also the ally it needed to protect western interests. The region of Pakistan is the bridge toward oil-rich regions in Iran and Iraq.  In implementing the "Radcliffe Line", they split provinces, districts, rivers, and homes leading to one of history's largest human migrations, with roughly 14 million people displaced and over a million killed in communal violence. By the time they left India they had plundered and stolen more than 42 trillion pounds from her.Now to Project 2030: we are witnessing Colonization uplevelled to a grander scale, a more insidious global mission..a methodology sharpened to control your psyche, your conscious human identity by rendering you a digital asset in the grand schema of things. The cast net that is hovering over our heads goes unnoticed because our attention is fastened to the prefabricated chaos, scandals  wars, and alien invasion threats. The truth is, we are being herded, harnessed as commodities of the deep state.

The rules of the game are changing—both at the border and in the regional field office. On today's episode of the America's Work Force Union Podcast, we are joined by two leading experts to discuss the policy shifts threatening union leverage in 2026. Part 1: The USMCA 2026 Review with Adam Hersh Senior Economist Adam Hersh joins us to break down the high-stakes "NAFTA 2.0" review coming this July. While USMCA was sold as a fix for manufacturing, Hersh explains why loopholes in auto rules of origin and the threat of offshoring continue to chill collective bargaining. We discuss: What happens if the U.S., Mexico, and Canada don't agree by July. How "China-linked" supply chains are shifting the footprint in Mexico. The essential pillars of a truly worker-centered trade agenda. Part 2: The NLRB Staffing Crisis with Andrew Strom Brooklyn Law School professor and labor lawyer Andrew Strom returns to discuss a compounding crisis at the National Labor Relations Board. With staffing at a decade-long low and a post-shutdown backlog mounting, "justice delayed" is becoming a tactical weapon for employers. We dive into: How new ULP intake procedures are slowing down investigations. The "chilling effect" on witness statements when cases sit for months. Why funding the NLRB is the most cost-effective way to protect the NLRA. Listen in to hear how unions can navigate these legal and economic headwinds to keep building power.

The text is composed of 13 chapters, each devoted to one aspect of warfare. It is commonly considered to be the definitive work on military strategy and tactics of its time. It has been the most famous and influential of China's Seven Military Classics, and "for the last two thousand years it remained the most important military treatise in Asia, where even the common people knew it by name."
