Send one way text to Rev Rachel If you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or completely drained from trying to hold everything, and everyone together I get it, I was once there too. The truth is, constantly fixing, managing, and rescuing those around us doesn't bring peace... it creates more suffering. In this episode, I share what I've learned on my own Soul Recovery path about how the compulsion to help and control stems from old patterns, and how letting go has been the greatest act of love—not just for myself, but for those I care about.We dive into the deeper truth that your healing begins the moment you stop turning your energy outward and begin focusing inward. We explore what it means to detach with love, to let others walk their own journey, and to reclaim your energy for your own transformation.Soul Recovery isn't about abandoning others—it's about releasing the illusion that their healing is your responsibility. It's about becoming a compassionate presence without losing yourself.You don't have to fix everything. You don't have to hold it all together. Come back to your center. Heal yourself. That is the most powerful gift you can offer the world.Want to join the Recovery Your Soul community? Join the FREE Soul Recovery Support Group the 1st Monday of every month from 6-7PM Mountain Time.

Today, Ben is joined by fellow Catholic financial planner Tim Mayer to unpack the meaning of “Catholic money”—a vision of wealth shaped by stewardship, detachment, and generosity. Grounded in their shared experiences in religious life, Ben and Tim reflect on how faith transforms financial decision-making, shifting the focus from accumulation to service. They explore money's historical roots in the domestic sphere and draw on Catholic teachings, like via negativa, to clarify what Catholic money isn't: greedy, self-serving, or fear-driven. Instead, it's a practical tool meant to support family, community, and the building of God's Kingdom. Along the way, they discuss the spiritual and emotional depth of financial advising, especially when clients face difficult questions around legacy, values, or sacrifice. This episode invites listeners to see money not just as a resource, but as a vocation—and encourages them to seek advisors who align with both their financial goals and their faith.Key Takeaways:• Catholic money is defined by stewardship, generosity, and spiritual detachment—not accumulation or greed. Money is not truly owned but temporarily entrusted to us; we are accountable for how we use it.• True financial planning involves aligning one's goals with eternal values, not just material outcomes.• Catholic advisors can help clients navigate hard questions around marriage, children, and estate planning.• Living generously is difficult before you do it, but deeply rewarding afterward.• The best advisor-client relationships are built on shared values and mutual trust.• Catholic financial planning is ultimately about building the Kingdom of God through intentional money choices.Key Timestamps:(00:00) – What is Catholic Money?(02:00) – Tim's Vow of Poverty(05:00) – The Origins of “Money”: Roman Roots, Juno Moneta, and Domesticity(10:00) – What is Money, Really?

Andrew and Steven make their long awaited return to discuss what the moving process has been like for both of them. What is our relationship with our things? Do we have too many of things? How can minimalism help us grow closer to God and our families?

It's clear people are looking for ways to protect their peace. And if the comments, DMs, and emails are any indication, they're also looking for permission to do so.That's exactly why this conversation with Katrina Jones on DEI After 5 hit such a nerve. It's one of our most-watched episodes, and it makes sense—this is the stuff so many of us have been trying to name. That quiet unraveling you feel when you're committed to the work, but the workplace doesn't care. That guilt for wanting to step back when the weight of everything is on your shoulders. That slow erosion of your well-being in places that claim to value you but rarely show it.Katrina and I talked candidly about the emotional toll of toxic work environments—especially for those of us doing work that is rooted in justice, inclusion, or lived experience. There's a unique pain that comes with trying to create change in systems that don't want to be changed.But here's what we explored that I think we all need to hear:

Detachment is the key to magetic energy and in this video I explain the step by step process you can use to finally detach so they attach to YOU!

There's an epidemic of loneliness out there, a crisis of friendlessness, a dearth of relationships...and there doesn't have to be. The solution to so many problems begins with making an invitation, and letting people make a free response to it.

In this episode, the crew dives deep into The Art of Emotional Detachment—when it's healthy, when it's harmful, and why so many people are mastering it in today's dating scene. We also ask the tough question: Why is everybody single looking for the same thing, but nobody can seem to find it? From the struggles of the infamous “Mr. Nice Guy,” to whether accountability can actually be taught, we get real about the patterns that keep us stuck. Plus, we break down how single girlfriends might be unknowingly holding each other back from real relationships. It's honest, unfiltered, and full of gems you don't want to miss. So, sit back and listen as Vance, Ash and Ant make sense of it all.

14th Sunday in Ordinary Time, 2025 In this episode, Fr. James reflects on The Backpack Effect—the paradoxical truth that the more you travel, the lighter you pack… not just in your luggage, but in life. Drawing from Jesus' instructions to the 72 disciples in Luke 10, we explore how the spiritual life calls us to travel light, to surrender control, and to cultivate deep interior peace through trust in God's providence.   This isn't just a homily—it's a call to mission. But before we can share peace, we must receive it. Before we can preach the Good News, we must experience it ourselves.   The Backpack Effect: Life isn't about how much you carry, but how free you are to move. Mission as Formation: Jesus sends us not to use us, but to form us in freedom and trust. Detachment as Freedom: Let go of stuff, stories, and control—so you can receive peace and purpose. 1. Detach from What Weighs You Down Physical Clutter: Ask, “What do I own that owns me?” Let go of one thing a day. Emotional Baggage: Identify a wound or story you keep reliving. Write it down. Burn it. Surrender it. Need for Control: Try a Trust Fast—for one day, don't seek answers. Just act in faith.   2. Cultivate Interior Peace (Inspired by Jacques Philippe) Peace is not the fruit of calm circumstances—but of radical trust. Begin each day: “Lord, not my will but Yours be done.” Daily 3-Minute Peace Check: What upset me today? What can I do, and what must I entrust? Jesus, I trust in You. Give me Your peace.    

Are you carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders? Struggling to let go of what you can't control? In this powerful episode, Tyler Joe Stratton guides you through five transformational practices to master the art of detachment — so you can finally breathe easier, reclaim your peace, and stop carrying what was never yours to hold.Through relatable stories, practical tools, and heartfelt wisdom, Tyler will show you how to:✨ Hold space for others without absorbing their problems✨ Break free from the stories that weigh you down✨ Release the exhausting need for control✨ Set compassionate boundaries that protect your heart✨ Reinvest in your own life so you feel fulfilled and strong againIf you're tired of feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or stuck in everyone else's chaos, this episode is your permission slip to let go — and live lighter.Hit play, and discover how to detach without disconnecting from what truly matters.

Edition No179 | 05-07-2025 - The number of incidents befalling Russia's sanctions-busting grey fleet of oil tankers is increasing. Is a pattern emerging, or are these accidents inevitable for a vast fleet of vessels that have outlived their mandated lifespans? Or is Ukraine enforcing oil sanctions in the only way that works – by physically disabling Russian ships on the high seas? Today, we will revisit the topic of oil sanctions by other means — and ask if grey fleet incidents, are covert military cover, and the strategic pain that may be inflicted on Moscow's war machine. We dig deeper into each maritime event, unpack Europe's response, and trace the illicit oil trading that is bringing in vast sums of money to power Putin's war machine.----------DESCRIPTION:Targeting Russia's Gray Fleet: An Inside Look at Covert Maritime WarfareIn this episode of Silicon Bites, we delve into the targeting of Russia's 'gray fleet'—a clandestine fleet of oil tankers sustaining Putin's economy and war efforts. We examine various incidents involving these vessels, potential acts of sabotage, and how Ukraine and Europe are responding. Detailed events such as the Eagle S incident, the Koala's hull blast, and mediteranean attacks on Sea Charm, Sea Jewel, and Grace Phem are discussed. Additionally, we analyze the strategic economic impact of these actions and the need for a united NATO and EU stance to choke off Russia's illegal oil trade support, implicating higher necessary pressure on Putin's war economy.----------CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction to Russia's Gray Fleet01:43 Incidents Involving Russian Ships04:58 European Response to the Gray Fleet06:28 Russia's Countermeasures11:33 Strategic Importance and Conclusion----------LINKS: https://www.ft.com/content/b2671301-d71f-4781-8d8d-86f7b350ff3c https://www.reuters.com/world/germany-launches-additional-measures-against-russias-shadow-fleet-2025-07-01/https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/key-points-about-russias-shadow-fleet-oil-tankers-2025-05-15/ https://apnews.com/article/5e74109e5b1d84dc73ac2592068d4689 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/may/18/eu-foreign-ministers-call-for-coordinated-action-on-russian-shadow-fleet-in-baltic-sea https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/05/20/russia-shadow-fleet-sanctions-baltic-sea/ ----------Car for Ukraine has once again joined forces with a group of influencers, creators, and news observers during this summer.

Edition No178 | 04-07-2025 - Earlier this year, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson conducted an interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin—a move that drew swift condemnation, not just from pro-democracy advocates, but also from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. "He works for Putin," Zelenskyy declared in a direct rebuke, calling Carlson's rhetoric nothing less than propaganda laundering for Moscow. He has a point. Carlson has become the most vociferous, unfiltered and effective megaphone for Russian disinformation in the Western world. But outside of the US he has little impact. But how toxic is his impact within the US? And might his views have helped to inform the decision to withdraw US military support to Ukraine? .----------DESCRIPTIONThe Role of Tucker Carlson in Spreading Kremlin Propaganda | Silicon BitesIn this episode of Silicon Bites, we're examining Tucker Carlson's role in propagating Russian disinformation. Through interviews with Vladimir Putin and framing controversial narratives, Carlson has become a significant voice for Kremlin-aligned messages in the West. This deep dive explores how his rhetoric may have influenced the US's recent withdrawal of military support to Ukraine and what this means for international relations. We also discuss the broader implications of such disinformation campaigns and their impact on the global stage, particularly in the context of the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia.----------CHAPTERS00:00 Introduction and Episode Overview00:51 Tucker Carlson's Controversial Interview with Putin02:08 Debunking Carlson's Claims on Ukraine03:21 Carlson's Interview with Ukrainian Oligarch06:37 Carlson's Propaganda and Influence11:34 Trump's Involvement and Secret Talks14:47 Conclusion: The Stakes for Ukraine----------LINKS: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/zelensky-tucker-carlson-putin-russia-b2692257.htmlhttps://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/tucker-carlson-putin-zelensky-b2711134.htmlhttps://unn.ua/en/news/tucker-carlson-again-spreads-a-refuted-fake-about-the-sale-of-ukrainian-weapons-to-mexican-cartelshttps://www.foxnews.com/video/6368078173112https://www.foxnews.com/world/zelenskyy-warns-peace-talks-without-ukraine-dangerous-after-trump-claims-meetings-russia-going-wellhttps://www.foxnews.com/world/trump-no-one-else-can-end-ukraine-russia-war-us-ally-sayshttps://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-plans-meet-zelenskyy-he-looks-end-ukraine-warhttps://nypost.com/2025/02/10/us-news/trump-says-ukraine-has-essentially-agreed-to-allow-the-us-access-to-500b-in-rare-earth-minerals/https://kyivindependent.com/he-works-for-putin-zelensky-slams-tucker-carlsons-pro-russian-commentary/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/business/media/fox-red-seat-ventures.htmlhttps://lansinginstitute.org/2025/05/29/orthodoxy-and-propaganda-analyzing-tucker-carlsons-interview-with-vadim-novinsky/----------Car for Ukraine has once again joined forces with a group of influencers, creators, and news observers during this summer.

Creating the Vision for Your Life   What does it take to break free from a scarcity mindset and rise to the top as a master negotiator and dealmaker? On this compelling episode of Richer Soul, Corey Kupfer shares his raw journey from paycheck-to-paycheck roots to building a powerhouse law firm and consultancy focused on high-stakes negotiation and deal-making. If you've ever doubted whether your background could limit your future success, this is the episode that will blow your mind—and redefine what's possible.   Key Takeaways: Your Money Mindset Can Be Reprogrammed. Corey's early life was shaped by scarcity—“money's hard to come by,” “budget everything”—but he did the inner work to shift to a mindset of abundance and strategic wealth creation. The Courage to Go Solo. At 31, with zero clients and no financial safety net, Corey left a secure legal job and launched his own firm. He used credit cards to pay rent and still found the resilience to build from scratch. Negotiation Is a Skill Anyone Can Master. Corey breaks down the three pillars of authentic negotiating: Clarity, Detachment, and Equilibrium—tools anyone can use to stop overthinking and start winning in both business and life. True Success Requires Internal and External Alignment. Wealth isn't just about money—it's about being purpose-aligned, values-driven, and empowered to create lasting impact through your work and your deals.   Money Learning: From Scarcity to Strategy Corey's relationship with money started in a fear-driven, budget-focused household. The breakthrough came when he realized that despite early professional success, his subconscious beliefs were holding him back from building real wealth. He invested deeply in personal development, challenged inherited financial scripts, and reshaped his thinking to embrace abundance, philanthropy, and purpose-driven prosperity.   Lesson for Listeners: No matter your past, you can rewrite your money story—and your results will follow.   About Corey Kupfer Corey Kupfer is a seasoned entrepreneur, attorney, consultant, and professional speaker with over 35 years of deal-making experience. He's the founder of Kupfer & Associates, PLLC, a top-tier corporate law firm, and DealQuest, a platform for empowering deal-driven entrepreneurs. He's also the bestselling author of Authentic Negotiating and host of the top 1% ranked DealQuest Podcast.   Key Discussion Points: Breaking out of limiting financial beliefs rooted in childhood. Going from high-salary corporate law to entrepreneurial uncertainty. The psychological and practical tools behind Authentic Negotiating. How entrepreneurs can use clarity, detachment, and equilibrium to win big. Why “working harder” doesn't lead to wealth—and what actually does. Building a legacy through impact, philanthropy, and alignment.   Conclusion: This episode isn't just about making deals—it's about making change. Corey's story proves that no background is too humble, and no challenge too big, when you're aligned with purpose and armed with the right mindset. If you're ready to rewrite your relationship with money, embrace your inner negotiator, and take bold steps toward financial independence, this is your blueprint.   Links: Website: https://www.coreykupfer.com/podcast LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/coreykupfer/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coreykupfer/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CoreyKupfer X: https://x.com/coreykupfer   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@richersoul Richer Soul Life Beyond Money.

The second half of Ecclesiastes develops the various observations of the first half of the book by shifting to analyze the various mysteries of life that we all experience. He challenges the dictates of cultural wisdom, such as the retribution doctrine, and concludes that though life is mysterious, everything is in the hand of God, whom we should trust and fear.

Edition No175 | 01-07-2025 - This is an episode based on Putin's recent speech -perhaps the most perverse and rambling one he has ever made. After listening to it, we must ask – has Vladimir Putin lost the plot? Following the EAEU summit in Minsk, Vladimir Putin answered questions from Russian journalists on June 27, 2025. This was perhaps the least consequential set of ramblings he's made to date, yet the speech is of great consequence. Because it seems that his brain is now totally dominated by a mixture of resentment, lies and delusions. As Vlad Vexler has insight-fully pointed out in a recent video, Putin seemed not to be addressing the world in his responses, nor an internal audience, nor the so-called Russian elite. Rather, this sounded like an internal monologue, unfiltered and unvarnished. It was also deeply unhinged. ----------"They'll Die Themselves Soon” Putin said of Europe. Is this because he is trying hard to bring this about, or he fervently believes it will happen? A kind of ‘inevitable' historical mythology, something like Marxism? Putin's speech was part war cry, part peace overture, and entirely delusional. Putin once again took to the stage — not to chart a path to peace, but to perform a geopolitical pantomime: a speech to no one in particular, the world, his own people? It contained within it two rhetorical tricks. Yes, Putin is more than a one trick donkey. The first, menace, the other, misdirection.----------DESCRIPTIONPutin's Delusional Speech and Global Reactions: Analysis and ImplicationsIn this episode, we delve into Vladimir Putin's recent speech at the EAEU summit in Minsk on June 27th, 2025. The speech, marked by delusional claims and unfiltered rhetoric, raises questions about Putin's state of mind and strategic intentions. We analyze his assertions about Russia's position in the Ukraine war, his dismissive remarks about the West, and his unexpected admiration for Donald Trump. The episode also covers the global reactions, including responses from European leaders and NATO, who see through Putin's manipulative strategies. Key themes such as Putin's distorted portrayal of Russia as a victim, his misleading economic claims, and his call for peace under Russian terms are critically examined. This episode underscores the urgent need for unity and decisive action in the face of ongoing Russian aggression.----------CHAPTERS00:00 Introduction and Support Acknowledgment00:36 Putin's Delusional Speech Overview02:01 Key Points from Putin's Speech03:48 Putin's Manipulative Tactics06:16 International Reactions to Putin's Speech07:37 Economic and Military Realities09:52 Putin's Continued Aggression and Delusions11:33 Summary and Analysis of Putin's Speech22:02 Final Thoughts and Implications----------LINKS: http://www.en.kremlin.ru/events/president/transcripts/77316 https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/putin-says-russia-plans-cut-military-spending-next-year-2025-06-27/https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2025/06/28/7519200/https://euromaidanpress.com/2025/06/27/west-keeps-trying-to-bury-russia-but-they-will-die-themselves-soon-says-putin-in-new-speech/----------Car for Ukraine has once again joined forces with a group of influencers, creators, and news observers during this summer.

Edition No174 | 30-06-2025 - Today we go into a catastrophe unfolding right now, and in fact for a few months, that is largely unnoticed —far from cameras, beyond headlines, in the Siberian wilderness. “Let it burn” has become Russia's unofficial policy towards vast wildfires that started early this year, from February onwards, in Siberia. Putin has focused the country's resources on stealing territory from its neighbour Ukraine, and setting its cities on fire, rather than tackle the flames in its own backyard. The resulting destruction and pollution are a threat on a planetary scale. Russia is truly the arsonist of countries. Massive wildfires are tearing across Russia's Far East, igniting forests, choking cities, and once again exposing the brittle infrastructure of a government prioritizing war over life. And yes, we've seen this before. Last year, and the year before. But this year is different, because of the scale, and because of the amount of people and resources diverted into the war.----------DESCRIPTIONRussia's Burning Lands: Unseen Environmental CatastropheIn this episode of Silicon Bites, we delve into Russia's uncontrollable wildfires raging across Siberia. These fires, which began in February, are causing massive destruction and pollution due to the Russian government's negligence, as military spending takes precedence. With over 1.4 million hectares burned, entire regions are under toxic haze, exposing the brittle infrastructure and mismanagement of fire control efforts. The situation exacerbates global climate challenges, turning carbon sinks into sources. As the crisis worsens, the episode highlights the urgent need to address Russia's internal issues and the broader environmental impact.----------CHAPTERS00:00 Introduction and Overview00:17 Support for Ukraine and Fundraising Efforts00:48 The Unfolding Catastrophe in Siberia01:53 The Scale and Impact of the Wildfires03:35 Government Response and Budget Issues04:31 The Human and Environmental Toll05:45 Global Implications and Future Outlook06:43 Conclusion and Final Thoughts----------LINKS: https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2025/05/13/in-photos-wildfires-tear-across-russias-far-east-a89061https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2025/04/11/major-fires-in-siberia-far-east-mark-ominous-start-to-russias-2025-wildfire-season-a88683 https://edition.cnn.com/2025/05/14/europe/russia-wildfires-rage-siberia-region-intl-latam https://kyivindependent.com/massive-forest-fires-break-out-in-russias-far-east-buryatia-declares-regional-emergency/ https://theins.ru/en/society/279838 https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/2054586/russia-state-emergency-buryatia-wildfires ----------Car for Ukraine has once again joined forces with a group of influencers, creators, and news observers during this summer.

Analyzing Putin's Miscalculations and the Western Response – A Discussion with Lt. Gen. (retired) Ben HodgesIn this episode, former Lieutenant General Ben Hodges joins the host to discuss Vladimir Putin's belief in the inevitability of Russia's triumph over Europe and the flaws in that thinking. They dive deep into the current state of the Russian military, its geopolitical strategies, and the significance of the West's response. Hodges outlines the importance of economic measures and political will to help Ukraine defend itself. The discussion also covers the influence of Trump's policies, the misjudgment of Russia's mass by historical tyrants, and potential strategic moves by Ukraine. The talk wraps up with insights into the weakening of U.S. military institutions and the need for retired military leadership to speak out.----------CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction and Current State of Western Resolve00:27 Putin's Misconceptions and European Defense01:06 Guest Introduction: Lt.

According to his mythologised version of history, the West is decadent and ripe for implosion, it is an inevitability in his mind. So why is Europe raising defence spending to 5% of GDP and why are Russian armies failing to deliver victories in Ukraine. His finances are catastrophic, his resources are stretched, his military capability weakening, and his regime getting more brittle. But he clings to the inevitability of triumph. ----------Ben Hodges is a retired United States Army officer, who became commander of United States Army Europe in November 2014, and held that position for three years until retiring from the United States Army in January 2018. Until recently he was the Pershing Chair in Strategic Studies, at the Center for European Policy Analysis, specializing in NATO, Transatlantic relationship and international security. ----------LINKS:https://twitter.com/general_benhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Hodges https://cepa.org/author/ben-hodges/ https://warsawsecurityforum.org/speaker/hodges-ben-lt-gen/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-hodges-1674b1172/ ----------Car for Ukraine has once again joined forces with a group of influencers, creators, and news observers during this summer.

Edition No173 | 29-06-2025 - Today we're focusing on Ukraine's northeastern front, where the Kremlin's started this summer's offensive, which is already burning out in the fields and woods of Sumy. ‘50,000 Russian troops pinned down' it's claimed — as Ukraine halts the enemy's advance in Sumy Oblast, as Russia's summer campaign gets underway. "Based on the results of May and June, we can say that this year's wave of the enemy's summer offensive from Russian territory is faltering," Syrskyi said, reporting that Russian troops in the northeastern border region had been stopped.----------After weeks of more intense Russian operations, Ukraine's military says it has stalled Moscow's advance in Sumy Oblast. According to Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi, "the enemy's offensive actions have been halted," with Russian forces “trying to gain a foothold on the lines they have reached,” but finding themselves checked by coordinated Ukrainian resistance. This is a serious failure, and a moment of reckoning for Putin's senseless invasion of Ukraine. The money is running out to fund his war machine, and if that same rabble army fails to make significant gains on the ground, then to all intents and purposes, it's over for Putin. This is a moment to savour, but we must not make light of it. Because this victory is hard won by Ukraine and comes at the price of viscous fighting and terrible loss and trauma.----------DESCRIPTIONUkraine Halts Russian Offensive in Sumy: A Detailed AnalysisIn this episode of 'Silicon Bites,' we delve into the failure of Russia's latest offensive in Sumy Oblast, part of their broader summer campaign. Despite mounting pressure, Ukrainian forces have successfully halted and even begun reversing Russian advances.

Ukraine Matters: Analyzing NATO Summit & Defense Strategies with Georgijs Ivanovs Georgijs, the founder of the Ukraine Matters channel, discusses the latest developments in NATO's support for Ukraine, defense spending, and Ukraine's innovative wartime strategies. Topics include the impact of European funding, the production of military supplies within Ukraine, and the evolving dynamics of drone and missile warfare. The conversation also addresses the potential for Russian economic collapse, the inefficiencies within Russian military tactics, and the broader geopolitical implications of the ongoing war. Georgijs emphasizes the importance of supporting Ukrainian production and the strategic use of resources to counter Russian advancements. Additionally, the discussion touches on the role of AI in modern warfare and the significance of adapting to rapidly changing battlefield technologies.----------Georgijs Ivanovs started the Ukraine Matters channel in 2007, and it has garners 11.5 m views. He started the channel to explain the situation surrounding the war in Ukraine in simple terms. Like myself, he is not Ukrainian, nor is he a military expert. But he has been to Ukraine many times and seen it almost fully (except for Odesa region). He has a lot of good friends in Ukraine, and in fact his wife is Ukrainian, and so feels extremely connected to the invasion that scaled up in February 2022. ----------LINKS: @UkraineMatters  ----------CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction to Ukraine Matters01:32 NATO Summit Highlights03:04 European Support and Danish Model 2.007:39 Drone Warfare and Innovations10:33 Ukraine's Missile Capabilities16:15 Economic and Military Outlook21:53 Potential Endgame Scenarios26:34 Conclusion and Final Thoughts----------Car for Ukraine has once again joined forces with a group of influencers, creators, and news observers during this summer.

Edition No172 | 28-06-2025 - In the early hours of June 27, Ukraine struck deep inside Russian territory — again. According to Ukrainian defence officials and corroborated by open-source intelligence, long-range drones hit four Russian Su-34 tactical bombers parked at the Marinovka air base in Russia's Volgograd region. Ukraine once again shows its capability to pull of daring and ambitious raids, deep inside Russian territory. Dramatic, and embarrassing for the Russians.The Marinovka air base airbase in central Russia's Volgograd Region is some 900 km (550 miles) from the Ukrainian border. Hitting it is an extraordinary achievement. These aren't symbolic strikes. The Su-34s have been the backbone of Moscow's aerial bombardment campaign — launching deadly glide bombs into Ukrainian towns and front-line positions. Destroying them isn't just a tactical win — it's strategic payback. It's destroying the assets which are vital to Moscow's terror campaign against Ukrainian cities and civilians.----------LINKS: https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/ukraine-says-it-hits-four-warplanes-russias-volgograd-region-2025-06-27/ https://meduza.io/en/news/2025/06/27/ukraine-launches-new-long-range-drone-strikes-at-russian-military-airfield-targeting-tactical-warplanes https://www.ukrinform.net/rubric-ato/4009145-ukraine-hits-four-russian-su34-warplanes-at-marinovka-airbase.html https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2025/06/27/7519134/ ----------Car for Ukraine has once again joined forces with a group of influencers, creators, and news observers during this summer.

Edition No170 | 27-06-2025 - Today we're diving deep into growing trouble inside Russia's war economy. Kremlin officials still speak of resilience and momentum. The war machine continues to crank out lethal munitions to add to the pile of trauma and scrap metal in Ukraine. But scratch the surface, and the cracks are hard to ignore. Let's dive in.Since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, it's become the most sanctioned nation on Earth. Yet, against all odds, its economy has shown a defiant resilience, based on certain metrics. According to official Russian figures, growth in 2024 outpaced all G7 nations. The economy expanded 4.3%, compared with just 1.1% in the UK and 2.8% in the US. But firstly. Official Russian bank figures have become increasingly questionable through the course of the war, and that growth is driven almost entirely by record-breaking military spending. There is the potential that this spending has also built up a huge off-books financial risk, or debt bubble. Just as the war is not politically or militarily rational, in a classical Western analysis, it turns out to neither be economically rational. Since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the state of the economy has been secondary to the goal of winning the war against Ukraine. That is the Kremlin's overarching priority.----------LINKS: https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2025/06/19/russia-ramps-up-borrowing-as-oil-revenues-falter-and-war-spending-soars-a89502 https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2025/06/19/russias-economy-minister-warns-of-looming-recession-a89510 https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2025/06/20/sberbank-ceo-warns-high-rates-and-strong-ruble-creating-perfect-storm-for-russian-economy-a89516 https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2025/06/19/foreign-investment-in-russia-falls-to-lowest-level-since-2001-un-report-says-a89512 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cdr30jx6x0vo https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cpqnj17vryjo https://kyivindependent.com/as-russian-losses-in-ukraine-hit-1-million-putin-faces-an-economic-time-bomb/----------Car for Ukraine has once again joined forces with a group of influencers, creators, and news observers during this summer.

Edition No169 | 26-06-2025 - Appeasing Trump seems to have been the tone and substance of the NATO Summit that has just ended. Maybe it's worked. Maybe the perceived victory is illusory and temporary. America's traditional allies pledged to spend a lot more on defence, but the details are sketchy to put it mildly. At least, the Western democracies may conclude, that a Trump toddler meltdown, like that which took place in the Oval Office was averted.“Donald, you have driven us to a really, really important moment for America and Europe and the world,” wrote Mark Rutte, in a statement that managed to be both obsequious and condescending at the same time. “Europe is going to pay in a BIG way, as they should, and it will be your win.” A day later Mr Rutte went further, referring to the president as “Daddy”, in a moment of pure cringe. Was Mr Rutte's strategy was degrading or inspired, no one could decide. But it is an indication of how far Trump has dragged the tone down to his level. Rutte, Nato secretary-general, praised the US president for his galvanising effect. “Dear Donald, you made this change possible,” referring to the increase in defence spending to 5% of GDP.NATO's Potemkin Summit: Words Over Actions?In this episode of Silicon Bites, we delve into the recent NATO Potemkin Summit, dominated by attempts to appease Donald Trump. Despite soaring promises and new defense spending targets, the tangible actions and details remain vague. The summit reveals the increasing pressure European allies feel to cater to Trump, often at the expense of addressing critical issues like Russia's ongoing aggression toward Ukraine and other NATO members. Key moments include discussions about defense spending, with some nations resisting the 5% GDP target, and Trump's ambiguous commitment to NATO's Article 5. The episode underscores the complexities and contradictions in transatlantic relations under Trump's influence.----------CHAPTERS:00:00:00 Introduction and Channel Support00:00:30 NATO Summit Overview00:00:32 Trump's Influence and Reactions00:01:48 Defense Spending Commitments00:02:26 Russia's Threat and NATO's Response00:02:56 Spain's Resistance and Internal Issues00:04:21 Concerns Over NATO's Preparedness00:07:23 Trump's Ambiguous Stance on Article Five00:09:20 European Allies' Perspective00:12:10 Conclusion and Final Thoughts----------LINKS: https://www.economist.com/europe/2025/06/25/at-a-tricky-nato-summit-a-trumpian-meltdown-is-avertedhttps://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/jun/25/the-guardian-view-on-the-nato-summit-europe-must-take-the-path-of-strategic-self-reliancehttps://news.sky.com/story/there-were-toe-curling-displays-of-affection-towards-daddy-trump-at-the-nato-summit-but-like-it-or-not-it-worked-13388735https://theconversation.com/how-nato-summit-shows-europe-and-us-no-longer-have-a-common-enemy-259842https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/06/25/nato-summit-trump-ukraine-war-zelensky-starmer/----------Car for Ukraine has once again joined forces with a group of influencers, creators, and news observers during this summer.

Edition No168 | 25-06-2025 - Nobel no more? It's no secret that Trump has hankered after a Noble prize for many years, because he truly appreciates what it stands for, or because this is an exclusive bauble that few people in history have attained. The ultimate in bragging rights – something gold and rare. There is some intended irony in putting this episode out just after my interview with an actual recipient of the Nobel peace prize, a worthy winner, together with the amazing organisation she leads, The Centre for Civil Liberties. The contrast between Oleksandra Matviichuk and Oleksandra Romantsova with Trump could not be starker. These ladies are serious, passionate about justice and rule of law. Highly empathetic and driven to achieve fairness in the world. There are no materials concerns behind their motivations, and an absolute lack of any ego. Compare and contrast to the bling king – the monarch of New York real estate, who bombed Iran intensely, and turned around and declared peace two days later and expects a peace prize for that. All amidst his implied threats to resume strikes if Iran does not comply. I'm not sure, but the traditional image of a peacemaker is a little different from this – from someone who enforces peace down the barrel of a gun. A peacemaker that uses bullying to get his way, along with overt threats of violence. It's an original approach; I'll give him that.----------LINKS: https://www.forbes.com/sites/saradorn/2025/06/24/could-trump-get-a-nobel-peace-prize-heres-what-we-know-as-allies-champion-israel-iran-efforts/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/trump-nobel-peace-prize-withdrawal-ukraine-ceasfire-b2776295.htmlhttps://www.news.com.au/world/middle-east/blood-on-his-hands-pakistan-turn-on-donald-trump-over-nobel-peace-prize-furore/news-story/d5ce83dddb5c45c732e766f733903fbd----------Car for Ukraine has once again joined forces with a group of influencers, creators, and news observers during this summer.

Edition No167 | 24-06-2025 - Russia has sustained staggering troop losses in Ukraine. Can the regime admit to itself, let alone its people that this has been a tremendous waste for a senseless purpose, and in exchange for trivial gains? Has Russia inadvertently just admitted to the scale of its losses? The staggering troop losses incurred by Moscow's armed forced during the full-scale invasion of Ukraine may just have been blurted out by a senior Russian official on June 19. Mostly likely by accident. He now needs to beware of windows in tall buildings, and a growing list of other hazards that Russia officials, businessmen and military officers are falling prey to. But the war goes on, and Russia's demands remain maximalist. They continue to demand Ukraine withdraws from the four partially occupied regions — Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia, and now are making incursions into a new oblast – Sumy. According to figures from Kyiv, Russia has suffered more than 1 million dead, wounded, and missing soldiers since the start of its full-scale invasion, and burned through a large chunk of the Soviet era military equipment that was bequeathed to Russia upon the dissolution of the USSR. And then fell into the hands of pathological kleptocrat, Vladimir Putin.In return for their losses, Russia has received just a few hundred square kilometres of blasted and wrecked earth and the piles of rubble that were formerly towns and villages on those territories. In an interview with CNN, Russian Ambassador to the U.K. Andrey Kelin dismissed the 1m figure of killed and wounded but did confirm that "about 600,000" Russian soldiers were fighting in Ukraine, a number which tallies with some Ukrainian estimates.----------LINKS: https://kyivindependent.com/russia-just-accidentally-admitted-to-its-staggering-troop-losses-in-ukraine/https://kyivindependent.com/by-dumping-bodies-during-exchanges-russia-afraid-to-admit-scale-of-casualties-zelensky-says/https://www.theguardian.com/world/ng-interactive/2025/jun/22/one-million-and-counting-russian-casualties-hit-milestone-in-ukraine-war?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-gb----------Car for Ukraine has once again joined forces with a group of influencers, creators, and news observers during this summer.

Edition No166 | 23-06-2025 - This is a horrific story, which stands out eve amongst the slew of horrific stories we churn through each day. Apparently, a Russia soldier, now killed, has been accused of eating a comrade. It is emblematic of the brutality of Russia's war, but perhaps also symbolic of how the country is both destroying its neighbour, and consuming itself, through rage, aggression, greed and hate-fuelled envy. Leaked audio from Ukraine's HUR claims that a Russian soldier consumed one of his fellow infantrymen. We can't use the c~ word, as it's taboo in this platform's algorithm and may cause the video to be blocked. A Russian soldier deployed in Ukraine may have been involved in fratricidal culinary crime, audio intercepted by Ukraine's military intelligence agency (HUR) and released on June 20 suggests. In the recording a Russian commander is heard telling a subordinate that ‘Brelok' eliminated and consumed ‘Foma'. This grotesque act took place over two weeks it is alleged.----------Links: https://tvpworld.com/87394331/he-ate-his-comrade-intercepted-call-reveals-shocking-cannibalism-among-russian-troopshttps://militarnyi.com/en/news/za-nashikh-a-murderer-of-two-women-and-a-cannibal-serve-in-the-russian-army/https://www.kyivpost.com/post/54861https://metro.co.uk/2025/06/21/one-putins-cannibal-soldiers-killed-comrade-eat-two-weeks-23470693/https://www.ukrinform.net/rubric-ato/4006257-intelligence-intercept-exposes-cannibalism-cases-in-russian-army.htmlhttps://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/chilling-explanation-freeing-cannibal-killer-35213313https://kyivindependent.com/leaked-audio-suggests-cannibalism-among-russian-troops-ukrainian-intel-claims/ ----------Car for Ukraine has once again joined forces with a group of influencers, creators, and news observers during this summer.

It's pretty bad. Some would actually call this fascism.“The move comes as the Trump administration embraces venture capital and tech industries, including VC-backed startups like Anduril, Palantir and others who have begun to take root as major players in the defense industrial base. The Trump administration's nominee to take the reins as the Army's No. 2 two civilian, Michael Obadal, is an Anduril employee.” ~Dealbreaker.comJust another example of the mass privatization happening rapidly under the new administration with virtually no coverage in either the left or rightwing media.My beauty secret for skin, hair and nails is Native Path Collagen!

In this excerpt from an online retreat, two participants share a similar concern that can arise along the path of true self-discovery — the fear of losing our connection with the world. Moojibaba clarifies that nothing of value can be lost by becoming fully awake and encourages us to persist with the exercise of observing with detachment. “Everyone can take this exercise — learn to observe with detachment. That is one of the greatest powers God gives you. It will bring you back to the fullness, the richness and the grace of your heart as it is. No one experiences greater joy and the purity of life like one who has awakened to themselves. Your heart is lacking nothing at all.” Monte Sahaja, Portugal 29 October 2023
