A bizarre and unexplained blackout in Spain and Portugal is fueling wild speculation, with some accusing Israel of deploying a weather weapon in retaliation for Spain's anti-Israel shift; power grid anomalies were also reported in the UK just hours before, sparking sabotage and cyberattack investigations. Meanwhile, global tensions intensify: Pakistan warns of imminent war with India, Iran accuses Israel of bombing a key port, and Dmitry Medvedev suggests NATO countries may need “de-Nazification” as he warns of nuclear apocalypse. In North America, Trump's critics claim Mossad-linked operatives are undermining Pentagon anti-war voices, Amazon is under fire for tariff price labels, and Canada has elected a new prime minister vowing to break with the U.S. Trump, undeterred, pushes forward with Suez Canal demands and defends America's deep alliance with Israel.Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart.

Dopo l'uccisione ieri a Mosca del generale russo Igor Kirillov, rivendicata da Kiev l'ex presidente russo Dmitry Medvedev, criticando il Times per avere definito un atto di difesa legittimo l'uccisione di Kirillov afferma che se il generale russo Igor Kirillov, era un obiettivo militare legittimo, lo sono anche tutti i funzionari della Nato che hanno preso la decisione sull'assistenza militare all'Ucraina e stanno partecipando ad una guerra ibrida o convenzionale contro la Russia. Mosca nel frattempo ha rivendicato la cattura di due nuove località vicino alla città di Kurakhove, nell'Ucraina orientale, dove le forze di Kiev perdono ogni giorno terreno contro le truppe russe. Vista la situazione il presidente ucraino Volodymyr Zelensky in un'intervista a Le Parisien, ripresa da Rbc Ukraina ora conta solo sulla pressione diplomatica. Iscriviti e segui "Notizie dall'Ucraina": YouTube: https://bit.ly/3FqWppn Spreaker: https://bit.ly/42g2ONG Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3JE1OMi Spotify: https://spoti.fi/40bpm0v Amazon Music: https://amzn.to/40HVQ37 Audible: https://bit.ly/4370ARc     I podcast Adnkronos: Eurofocus: https://www.adnkronos.com/speciali/eurofocus_europa/  Fa notizia da 60 anni: https://www.adnkronos.com/speciali/adnkronos60_podcast/  Aggiungi contatto: https://www.adnkronos.com/speciali/aggiungi_contatto/  Notizie dall'Ucraina: https://www.adnkronos.com/speciali/notizie_ucraina/  Israele sotto attacco: https://www.adnkronos.com/speciali/israele_sotto_attacco/  Le Storie, La Storia: https://www.adnkronos.com/speciali/le_storie_la_storia/  Sanremo Express: https://www.adnkronos.com/speciali/sanremo_podcast_2024   Resta in contatto con noi: https://www.adnkronos.com/  https://x.com/Adnkronos  https://www.facebook.com/AgenziaAdnKronos  https://www.instagram.com/adnkronos_/   Ph: AFP  Musiche su licenza Machiavelli Music.  AdKey:zP-94qNWQqj3XM 

This episode was first published on Feb. 22, 2024 as part of a series marking the second anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Original show notes: In every war, there is a battle over its origins. In this episode, historians Michael Kimmage and Mark Galeotti discuss Kimmage's new book, "Collisions," which seeks to explain why the excessive optimism of the early 1990s about Russia's path toward democracy and market economics never materialized. Moreover, Kimmage's narrative explains what led to each major collision between Russia and Ukraine; Russia and Europe; and Russia and the larger "rules-based order" led by the United States. Russia under Putin -- and for a brief period, Dmitry Medvedev -- and the United States under five presidential administrations could not overcome a fundamental dissonance in how each viewed the other's role in the world. Institutions such as NATO and the E.U., seen in the West as bulwarks of democracy, human rights, and economic prosperity, were viewed with hostility by Putin, who believed an independent Ukraine had no right to join them. ((Note: This conversation was recorded before the eastern Ukrainian town of Avdiivka fell to Russian forces))

*) Israel kills 48 Palestinians in Gaza in less than an hour The civil defence agency in Gaza said three air strikes in less than one hour — including on a school — killed at least 48 people. Israel said it carried out two of the strikes that the civil defence agency said also left dozens more wounded. According to an updated toll, 25 people were killed at the UN-run Al Razi School in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, 18 people were killed at Al Mawasi in Khan Younis and five more were killed in a strike at Beit Lahia in northern Gaza. *) Türkiye's Fidan discusses Gaza crisis, ceasefire negotiations with Haniyeh Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs Hakan Fidan has held a telephone conversation with Hamas Political Bureau Chief Ismail Haniyeh to discuss the situation in besieged Gaza. The two sides discussed the humanitarian situation in Gaza, which has reached catastrophic levels due to Tel Aviv's ongoing war on the besieged enclave. They also discussed the worrying developments resulting from increasing hunger and diseases, especially in the north of Gaza. *) Ukraine joining NATO would mean declaration of war: Medvedev Former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev has said the accession of Ukraine to NATO would be a declaration of war against Moscow. He said only “prudence” on behalf of the alliance could prevent the planet from being shattered into pieces. The leaders of the NATO pledged at their summit last week to support Ukraine on an “irreversible path to full Euro-Atlantic integration, including NATO membership,” but left open when that membership could happen. *) Harris extends debate challenge to Vance as Trump VP pick US Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican JD Vance had their first chat since the Ohio senator became the GOP vice presidential nominee. But the two sides are still working on terms for participating in a debate, according to three people familiar with the matter. The people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal conversations about the debate, said there had been no progress at bridging the disagreements on the network partner and format. *) Deadly heatwave grips Southern Europe and Balkans Record-breaking heat wave has swept across Europe. The Italian health ministry placed 12 cities under the most severe heat warning as a wave of hot air from Africa baked southern Europe and the Balkans and sent temperatures over 40 degrees Celsius. Municipal authorities in several southern European and Balkan cities took measures to look after elderly people in particular as civil protection crews fielded calls for water-dropping aircraft to douse wildfires.

Nato members have pledged their support for an "irreversible path" to future membership for Ukraine, as well as more aid. In response, former Russian President, Dmitry Medvedev said he hoped this would end "either with the disappearance of Ukraine, or NATO -- or better still, both”. A US State Department director tells Newshour that Russia is trying to “undermine the alliance and threaten” the war-torn nation.

Putin then helped Anatoly flee Russia when he was wanted on corruption charges.[19] According to the Moscow News, "Putin's reported affection for the Sobchak family is widely believed to give Ksenia Sobchak a protected status.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Privateer Station on Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-1582435PS on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/privateerstationPS on iHeartRadio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/53-privateer-station-war-in-uk-101486106/PS on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5iEdf0Jyw1Y3kN04k8rPibPS on ApplePodcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/privateer-station-war-in-ukraine/id1648603352PS on Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc3ByZWFrZXIuY29tL3Nob3cvNTY0NzQzOS9lcGlzb2Rlcy9mZWVkPS on PadcastAddict: https://podcastaddict.com/podcast/4079993PS on PodChaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/privateer-station-war-in-ukrai-4860097PS on Deezer: https://www.deezer.com/us/show/4546617If you like what we do and would like to support our work, consider joining this channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCT3qCbfcPbnph7QS3CPBTMQ/joinor Support us on Spreaker:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/privateer-station-war-in-ukraine--5647439/support

Listen to Zooming In at The UnPopulist in your favorite podcast app: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts | RSS | YouTubeLandry Ayres: Welcome to Zooming In at The UnPopulist. I'm Landry Ayres.As the 2024 election draws nearer and Donald Trump's second-term plans come into greater focus, critics of his, across the ideological spectrum, are torn as to whether Trump's movement is continuous with historical fascism. Does the dreaded “f”-word apply to him? Or is it an unhelpful exaggeration?On today's episode, The UnPopulist senior editor Berny Belvedere reconnects with his former Arc Digital colleague and international relations professor at the University of Illinois, Nicholas Grossman. The two discuss the propriety of using historically-weighty labels in our public discourse today, where to situate Trump within the not-so-grand tradition of authoritarianism, and break down how the Heritage Foundation-powered Project 2025 would fuel further democratic backsliding. We hope you enjoy.A transcript of today's podcast appears below. It has been edited for flow and clarity.Berny Belvedere: Nick, do you believe terms like “fascism,” “Nazism,” “communism” are overused today? If so, why do you think they are?Nicholas Grossman: So, in a way they're overused and also not. “Nazi” came to be a word that just meant bad, the thing that we all agree on is bad, and can be used in very serious contexts and comedic contexts—like the Soup Nazi in Seinfeld, and all the running jokes and memes of Godwin's law and “everything I don't like on the internet is Hitler” and anything else along those lines. So people do overuse it. But also, with “Nazi” in particular, it can reach a level where people then think that any lesson from Nazi Germany or any lesson from the 20th century more broadly is ipso facto wrong, that there's something inherently wrong about comparing the right-wing nationalist-populist movement that won an election and then lost power and then attempted a putsch and then reconsolidated and ran for power again, to America's right-wing nationalist-populist movement that won an election and then lost power by election and then attempted a putsch and then sought power again. That seems pretty ridiculous that you couldn't connect any of those.As for “fascism,” with thinking of it as this thing nearly everybody agrees was wrong that happened in the 20th century, when people try to apply it more loosely to things that are, say, authoritarian but not necessarily fascist … that could reduce the power of the word. But I think at this point, people using the word like Joe Biden used “semi-fascism,” to describe Trump's authoritarian project … I don't think is unreasonable.Berny: So when Biden used “semi-fascism,” how is it that that qualifier, “semi,” managed to successfully avoid the trap of requiring a perfect historical parallel while at the same time bringing in a term that has enough connotative heft to meet the gravity of Trump and MAGA's offenses? How is it that a word as simple as “semi” is able to successfully get us out of this jam?Nicholas: You know, that's a really good point. I hadn't quite thought about it that way, but it does look like the “semi” modifier has threaded that needle where it's a way of indicating, “Okay, I'm not saying this is literally Hitler and that we are headed for World War III and another Holocaust.” I mean, to pick a kind of obvious example: When Hitler wrote Mein Kampf, there is explicit calls for genocide. In Trump's largely ghostwritten books, you don't see anything like the final solution for the Jews. That runs into the problem of, “No, you're being hyperbolic.” So “semi” makes it where, “I'm not saying it's exactly that. I'm saying it bears enough resemblance to that that we should think of it as serious and bad.” And given that I and many others do think of it as serious and bad, and in particular as anti-democratic and authoritarian, the “semi” adds a way to use a word that connects with a lot of people without running into those, “So you're saying this is literally Hitler” counterarguments.Berny: As an international relations professor who has taught classes on terrorism, you've argued convincingly that misapplications of that word, “terrorism,” can have real consequences and that therefore applying the word well, in a more narrowly defined way, is really important. Is the issue with misapplications of the word “Nazi” or “fascism” on that same level, or not really?Nicholas: You're right that I'm a stickler on the word “terrorism,” that it's something that I teach and have taught for a while, and I take issue with a common usage of it to be basically a synonym of “bad,” a synonym of “thing I don't like.” If you Google “Republican terrorists” or “Democratic terrorists,” you get millions of hits. I think it is important for us to be able to really understand that “terrorism” refers specifically to violent political actions targeted against non-combatants by non-state actors. It's important for conceptual clarity, but in particular for developing counter-strategies and executing them well.I tend not to use “fascism” as well. I stick more to something like “authoritarianism” because the usefulness about it is: Trump's project is clearly authoritarian and there's no ambiguity about it. He's calling for the termination of the Constitution, saying, “I'll be a dictator”—he's quite open about it. You could have judged it from actions, but also now from statements. Whereas with something like the word “fascism,” that leads to debates that are potentially distracting. So I think it's a mistake to really fixate on the word, to be very insistent upon it.My concern with the word “terrorism” is not throwing it around so often and so loosely that it loses its power. And I feel that way about “fascism” as well—as a word that we shouldn't throw around loosely. I'll give you a recent example of this. When some people were reacting to police shutting down various campus protests, some cases seemed, to me and to many others, like an excessive use of force, just the sheer number of manpower and police presence that was being used. I saw comments along the lines of, “Why would you be concerned about fascism? Fascism is clearly already here.” And, no, that's really not it. So, the police arrested a bunch of people and, if any of them are charged with a crime, they'll have a chance to defend themselves in court. And that maybe is bad—certainly somebody can criticize it—but it's also not fascism. There's a danger of a “boy who cried wolf” effect where, if you're constantly calling anything you don't like this maximal bad word, then when something that is actually like that thing comes around, people are less inclined to believe you.Then again, the lesson of “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” is not that wolves aren't real and you don't need to worry about them.Berny: We're going to focus on more than just the term “fascism” here in this discussion, but I want to stay on the term for just a sec because it is a prominent issue in our discourse that keeps popping up.So, we humans tend to be incorrigibly committed to clarifying our world by describing it, by capturing it linguistically. But there's an inherent limitation to doing that that seems to always rear its head. Calling something a “Nazi” or “neo-Nazi” initiative helps to situate it within a particular historical movement. But the downside to that is historical episodes, by their very nature, are in the minds of many people tethered to particular circumstances, the ones that they temporally existed in. So history gives us these movements that have a fixed shape. And that can somewhat frustrate new applications of those labels.The part that a lot of people are underestimating is just how incredibly powerful institutional authority is. This idea of, it's norms all the way down … the idea that powerful people should follow the law is a norm. It is only a law to the extent that the people in power enforce it. And if the people in power, just enough of the people in power, don't enforce it, then it might as well not be a law. — Nicholas GrossmanSo to continue with the Nazi example, when some form of discourse today, whether it's a meme or a trope, or some rhetoric that a politician uses, gets characterized as “Nazi” or “neo-Nazi,” skeptics who don't detect a full-blown, genocidal antisemitism in that discourse will suggest that the “Nazi” label is overblown or being unfairly applied. I think the same thing happens, though at a lower scale, with “fascism.”My own take is that proponents and skeptics alike of these terms have in mind different aspects of those movements when they apply the labels or when they hear the labels applied. So when Trump gets called a “fascist” or a “neo-fascist,” the idea isn't necessarily that he's literally continuing Mussolini's project or that he's done the same exact things Franco did in Spain or whatever. Sometimes it means that. But sometimes I suspect the term is applied because a commentator or analyst just wants to note that Trump has similar impulses or inclinations or beliefs. The idea isn't that there's a perfect or near perfect match between the concrete actions Trump has taken and the ones past fascists have taken—because those will always be indexed to a particular time horizon. I think the idea, instead, is that Trump's posture toward democracy, toward the nation, the individual's role within the nation, and so on, is meaningfully similar to past fascist leaders and how they viewed things.If institutions exist today that reliably frustrate Trump's ability to carry out a more full-bodied fascistic reign, more so than they ever did for someone like Mussolini, that doesn't suggest, and it shouldn't suggest, that Trump lacks fascistic tendencies. Because, of course, that's just something external. Trump has routinely praised Putin and Kim and the way the societies they rule over are organized around their whims and wishes. The fact that he can't achieve that level of compulsory, fawning admiration here doesn't mean that he doesn't hold those yearnings.Does the fact that at any given time some discourse participants may have in mind tendencies and beliefs, whereas others have in mind concrete actions and historical parallels, and that therefore there's always going to be a talking past each other dynamic, does that suggest that historical terms like “fascism” are more unhelpful than helpful and should be retired?Nicholas: It can. I think that makes a lot of sense. This is also the purpose of those qualifiers like “semi.” One that's especially popular when you talk about things like political ideologies is “neo”—like a new version that's kind of like the one in the past. That tends to be how people thread the needle.But I do think that you're right in the tied-to-historical-circumstances aspect of it. And that also makes it where it is not necessarily the best or clearest form of communication or of persuasion because it can send some people down a rabbit hole of, “Let's compare that circumstance in history to this today,” whereas somebody who is using it might want to say, “These are similar”—or, often in some cases, it's a way of almost saying, “I think this is really bad.” So maybe a word like “authoritarian” doesn't have a real kick; “fascist,” “Nazi,” you know, has more of a kick and maybe is more likely to get people to pay attention—but it also, as you say, can make it more likely for people to shut off or to resist it. That's why I tend to say “anti-democracy” or “authoritarian,” or a more political science term, “democratic backsliding,” because that is unambiguously what is happening and it doesn't carry that same “historical circumstance” baggage.Berny: So, what is fascism, historically?Nicholas: So there's some debate about that, which again is one of the reasons why maybe it is not the most politically useful, or I guess discourse-useful, word. Historically, people place the origins in Italy, with Mussolini as the first real practitioner. When I was studying this, the person that I read the most was an Italian named Alfredo Rocco. He said that there were a couple of central principles: there's a hyper-nationalism, and an ethnic nationalism. Organicism, which is the sense that cell is to body as individual is to state … in other words, you give over everything to the state, as if you don't personally matter. Belief in superiority, then also militarism and foreign aggression. There are a number of other points that people like Umberto Eco have listed.There is a kind of later argument, and one that I find pretty persuasive, that fascism is almost a kind of anti-politics in that it is fixated on the past, often a fictional past, one in which there's not only nostalgia but trying to reclaim past glory and is a rejection in a way of the very idea of politics in the sense of we debate and argue about various pieces of evidence and facts and then come up with things like what might be the best solution or what do we agree would be a better solution rather than a worse solution. Whereas fascism often is much more an appeal to feelings and a fundamental rejection of the value of truth itself.Berny: I want to shift to a description of actions that can be categorized as fascistic, although if you just use a pure description of them, as you were suggesting earlier, you could also analyze them purely on their own merits. You were talking about how you prefer the word “authoritarianism” and “assaults on democracy.” In your latest for Arc Digital, you write that “American institutions are hanging by a thread.” And you argue that a model of instantaneous authoritarianism or revolutionary illiberalism, or as you put it, “a dramatic seizure of power,” is kind of the wrong model to expect America to fall prey to. Instead, you argue that if authoritarianism arrives in the U.S., it will do so via a more incremental process of democratic backsliding. Can you expound on what that is?Nicholas: Sure. That's a term that I think is very valuable in describing what's happening. So a lot of people, when they picture authoritarianism, they think of—and probably a lot of 20th-century takeovers were a big part of this—something like a big dramatic scene, something out of a movie. Think Mussolini or Hitler, the Iranian Revolution in 1979, or the Russian revolution, communist revolution—any of these big dramatic moments in which somebody seizes power and then holds onto it and then executes their authoritarianism and asserts their power throughout the country. What is more likely to happen in the United States, what in fact has been happening decently more to some democracies in the 21st century, is this idea of democratic backsliding, which is the process by which a leader gains power legally, legitimately via election, and then proceeds to abuse power while in office, to erode rule of law, erode checks and balances, try to put themselves above the law, and give themselves unfair advantages in elections.An egregious example of this, one that was backsliding from an already low baseline, is Putin's Russia. That Putin just got reelected—I don't know if you can hear my air quotes through the mic—in what was very clearly not an actual election, and yet they went through the motions and he claimed a popular mandate from it. Earlier, when Russia's laws had required him to step down, he just reworked the offices of president and prime minister, gave himself the prime minister job, gave his flunky, Dmitry Medvedev, the president job and continued running the country until that term was up and then just became president again.In the 21st century, we've seen versions of the sort of democratic backsliding that the U.S. should be afraid of in Turkey, India, Israel, Hungary, Poland, Peru, and a few others. Hungary, in particular, is the model for Trump in that the leader there, Viktor Orbán, won via election and then proceeded to do things like force just about all independent media outlets to go into this new kind of umbrella corporation which he had a flunky run and then change their commentary from sometimes critical of the government to basically government propaganda. An example of what happened in Poland was, they didn't like some of the judicial rulings, so they made a law that said that the maximum age for a Supreme Court justice or their equivalent is set at just right below the people that they wanted to get rid of. Then they got rid of those. And then they said, “Actually, the age can be different,” and then appointed their own people.We can also see that that sort of democratic backsliding has happened in part of the United States: with the failure of reconstruction after the Civil War and the imposition of Jim Crow—that people in those southern states did get power via elections and then you abuse that power to reduce the ability to vote and generally repress black people. So they still had elections, but they weren't free and fair, especially not in the way that the post-Civil War amendments tried to create and which the U.S. didn't really have until the Civil Rights acts.If he manages to get power again, there is zero reason to believe that he wouldn't try to do the thing that he literally did last time that he and his team have been spending over three years planning for, to try to fix the problems of that so they could do it again more successfully. I think there's a lot of naïveté about how somebody would stop it. Well, who? Congress? Why? — Nicholas GrossmanWhere we are hanging by a thread is: Trump has managed to already break through a lot of those institutional barriers that separate democracy from authoritarianism. And one of the things that a lot of people tend to misunderstand about this, and this also goes back to the glorious takeover vision of authoritarianism, is that authoritarians don't actually need to be strategic and good at this for it to work. This was a point that Hannah Arendt made in The Origins of Totalitarianism in 1951 that really resonates today, which is that incompetence can be an asset to wannabe authoritarians because it ends up getting competent people to quit and then opens up more spots for loyalists and makes it that they don't have this fundamental hesitancy when it comes to, “But, I'm violating a norm or I'm violating a law.”That can create a lot of the democratic backsliding. The United States saw that with Trump beating both impeachments. Why would he be concerned about Congress? And if he does manage to get reelected after being charged with a number of very serious crimes, including crimes associated with a coup attempt to overthrow the Constitution, if he then gets national power anyway, after all of that, there is no reason to expect that he will be bound or restricted by the law at all because he clearly does not respect it himself. At that point, there will be nobody left to potentially enforce it against him.Berny: In that same Arc piece, you made a list of the battles Trump has waged against our democratic institutions, and you put the number at nine. One of the battles that he's waged includes that he's violated internal rules of the executive branch. Can you give me an example?Nicholas: That was one of the easiest for him to violate because it was within the executive branch and the president is the elected head of the executive branch, so legal authority in the executive branch flows from the president. Just about everything you think of as government, besides the courts and Congress, is executive branch. So there's this immense power. And yet: America has a president, not a king. Presidents are subject to rule of law. As Teddy Roosevelt famously put it: “No man is above the law.”In response to Watergate, there were a number of reforms to try to create some internal restrictions on the power of the presidency—an example of this was to create the position of Inspector General and put it in a variety of executive branch departments. The press tends to refer to these people as the internal watchdog of whatever, and Trump, because he was doing things that was tripping these wires and getting these internal watchdogs to publicize the violations that he was doing, he then removed the inspectors general from Health and Human Services and the Defense Department and the intelligence community, among some others. And the only purpose of those positions is to monitor the executive branch, make sure that everybody's following the law, and if they're not following the law, report it, especially to Congress. So by removing them and either not replacing them or putting some loyalist hack in their place, that meant greater ability to get away with more.The Mueller investigation was another example of this in what finally ended it, at least the potential threat it posed to Trump, was he got a new attorney general, William Barr, and Barr proceeded to mislead the public about what the Mueller report had actually said. And he set a lot of the narratives and then he shut down further investigation of the president. That was an example where the executive branch was investigating itself for some malfeasance by its own leaders, and yet he was able to shut that down in part because it is entirely within the executive branch. So those were the first barriers that he got through. And the third, the one that ended up then bringing in congressional oversight, was when Trump tried to extort Ukraine by secretly withholding military aid and saying to the Ukrainian president Zelenskyy that he would release the aid if Zelenskyy did him a favor by lying and manufacturing an investigation into Joe and Hunter Biden, which Trump would then use as a basis for lies for his reelection campaign. That got caught by a whistleblower, someone on the National Security Council, who went through the proper procedures that got that information to Congress. That's what led to the first impeachment.So it was Trump's repeated efforts to break through various internal executive branch controls that eventually got the attention of Congress, which is a bigger barrier, but he burst through that too.Berny: Another battle he waged was against the transfer of power itself—a key presidential tradition within American history. He met that process, that idea, with violence rather than with peaceful acceptance. Do you consider that one to be the most dangerous, or is there one that's worse than that?Nicholas: I don't know if I can pick out an individual worst one because it's cumulative. My first instinct was to say, “No, the worst one is the current one against the legal system.” But a lot of what the legal system is trying to hold them accountable for was the coup attempt, which grew out of a violation of bunch of norms. So if I had to pick one, I'd still say the January 6 coup attempt, where introducing that level of political violence into American politics, making it the first in all of modern U.S. history to not have a peaceful transfer of power—it was literally not peaceful.The one about post-election norms … I think it's easy to underrate that one. Norms, because they're not codified, they're not laws, they're not written down, sometimes it doesn't feel like violating something important, but those are the ways that we do things. And if somebody then does it egregiously differently, violates those norms and gets away with it, or manages to even succeed with it, then what they've done is create a new normal, new expectations.With every previous losing presidential candidate, as soon as the election was called, shortly after they gave a concession speech. Hillary Clinton did it the morning after networks called the election for Trump in 2016. Probably the biggest example of this was Al Gore, who pursued legal means. I'm not criticizing Trump here for doing things like filing lawsuits to try to question some aspects of the election. Some of those were in bad faith, probably all of those were in bad faith, but still it is a legal measure. Others have done it too. But what Gore did was, after the Supreme Court made a ruling about the Florida recounts that resulted in George W. Bush becoming president, Gore publicly accepted the results of the election. And then, because he was vice president, he was in the Mike Pence role of being the presiding officer at the Senate that was officially acknowledging the Electoral College votes. And he gaveled in his own loss. So that was the norm.The other part of that was an outgoing president brings the new president-elect to the White House to peacefully transfer power, to begin the transfer. Obama did that with Trump—invited him to the White House, hosted him as the president-elect shortly after Hillary conceded. Every previous president did this. George H.W. Bush famously lost reelection and wrote a—what is now publicized, what was then private—letter of encouragement to Bill Clinton that basically amounted to, “I didn't want you to be president, but now that you are, I really wish you the best. You're the leader of our country and I love our country and I want you to do really well. Here are some suggestions.”That was just the way we always did things. By Trump incessantly lying about the election and conspiring to overthrow it, and after exhausting legitimate means, turning to illegitimate and illegal ones, and then, of course, after all of this, just hammering the Big Lie, the “up is down” lie, about the election results over and over and over again, and turning it into this kind of loyalty litmus test for Republicans that want to seek office or just want to speak in public about this stuff, has made it now where most Republicans just expect that challenging an election result and insisting that if you lost you actually won is just something you do now and that that is normal. Then a lot of the mainstream press treats it as, “Well, that's just another political strategy” and talks about it in these kind of horse-race sports language type of terms as opposed to, “This was a egregious violation of the most core principle of constitutional democracy and not something that we should treat lightly at all.”Granted, a lot of people didn't. Liz Cheney is a good example of somebody who did not treat it lightly. Nevertheless, it has become more normalized and it's reached a point where just about everybody expects that, if Trump loses the 2024 election, there will be similar claims that it's illegitimate, that it doesn't count, that it should be overthrown, or any other version of that. And that alone is something that is bad for the country, bad for democracy, and I don't really know how we fix.Berny: What is Project 2025?Nicholas: Project 2025 comes out of the Heritage Foundation think tank, and it is essentially a blueprint for democratic backsliding, for an internal authoritarian takeover after winning election. The biggest provision along those lines that is in it is a plan to purge the federal government of people who were hired because of their qualifications, not because of their political loyalty—people who are fundamentally loyal to the Constitution, not to Donald Trump personally. People have to swear to honor the Constitution. You don't swear to the president. The oath is to the Constitution—to protect and defend the Constitution. The plan is to get all those people out of the federal government. We're talking literally thousands of federal employees. That amounts to removing the barriers that thwarted Trump's last coup attempt.Where he ultimately failed was not enough people went along with the lies—Mike Pence being the most prominent one. So, Project 2025 is best understood as a plan to get anybody who followed the Constitution out and replace them with people who think that Donald Trump being in power is the end all, be all and are perfectly fine with breaking the law about that.That goes back to the Hannah Arendt line about you don't really need to be competent to do this. If anything, having competent people, smart people, there makes them less likely to be blind loyalists. So, they don't even need to necessarily be good at it. The first coup attempt failed, because it was haphazard, something that Trump and Co. came up with on the fly. Their plan was to win the election, and if not, lose it by one state, probably Pennsylvania, and then try to throw the count in Pennsylvania into chaos. But they weren't able to do that because Biden won most of the swing states, with Arizona and Georgia being two, plus Michigan and Wisconsin.There's a danger of a “boy who cried wolf” effect where, if you're constantly calling anything you don't like this maximal bad word, then when something that is actually like that thing comes around, people are less inclined to believe you. Then again, the lesson of “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” is not that wolves aren't real and you don't need to worry about them. — Nicholas GrossmanNow, they've spent the last three-and-a-half years stewing about that failure and trying to figure out ways to make it work next time. Project 2025 is already on the way. So whereas Trump came into office last time—and this is pretty typical of wannabe authoritarians in their first term—and didn't really know what he was doing, didn't really know how the system works, took some time to learn it as is fairly typical of populist leaders, he hired a number of establishment figures that the press called “the adults in the room.”—think, for example, Secretary of Defense James Mattis. Those were ones who were not willing to put Trump above the Constitution. Gradually, over the course of his term, accelerating in his last year after he beat the first impeachment, they started removing a number of these people and replacing them with loyalists. So now you've got people at the Heritage Foundation who have been working on vetting people to make sure that they are loyal to Trump and his authoritarian project rather than to the Constitution and American democracy. They are ready to hit the ground running with a lot of these democratic backsliding plans.Also connected to this are policy ideas like abortion bans and rounding up all the illegal immigrants and deporting them, which is a good one to describe how this would actually go because it's not that they would necessarily succeed at finding 11 million people and removing them from the country. It's that such a project is so massive and, because they are not the most competent people when it comes to policy execution, even trying would be chaotic and would lead to a lot of federal officers, probably state officers, and vigilantes going after people that they think look illegal, meaning just basically Latino, rather than, say, carefully checking everybody's papers and making this more of a rule of law effort. But that project couldn't happen without having enough of the people in place that would carry it out, people who react to it with, “Yes, sir, absolutely,” or in a bloodthirsty nature of being excited to do it.Berny: I want to bring the word “fascist” back in here for a sec. The threat of political violence can sometimes be just as effective as political violence itself. Figures associated with Project 2025 have called on Trump, if he gets reelected, to invoke the Insurrection Act on day one. Can this sort of preemptive reliance on police or military force in order to quell popular demonstrations of dissent be characterized as fascistic or semi-fascistic, in your view? Nicholas: I think so. That's one where I would use the label of authoritarian, because you don't necessarily have those ethno-nationalist aspects to it, though I do think the rounding up of a whole bunch of brown people and putting them in camps, yeah, you can safely call that fascist.Berny: You've written that if Donald Trump wins the 2024 election and becomes president again, American democracy is done. Why are you so definitive about America's prospects if Trump wins again?Nicholas: Because the record of national leaders who attempt a coup, fail, and then get power again is really bad for democracy. And because I think that people are—not everybody, of course, but quite a few Americans—stuck in a “it can't happen here” complacency, or just a natural tendency to think that the future will look like the past, that there isn't going to be any sort of drastic change. Also, they did see him in office and see that America did not turn into a dictatorship—so, you know, why necessarily would that happen in a second term?That gets it backwards in that it's the second term when democratic backsliding tends to go really bad. Turkey and India are both good examples of this, because then you had a leader who is not uncertain at all, who has shown their true colors. And we have in Trump's case very serious, just egregious, violations of the law.To put this in perspective: the trial in New York for fraud, to cover up hush money payments that he paid to porn star Stormy Daniels, is the sort of thing that's being treated as trivial. If it were at any other person at any other time in the past, it would be one of the biggest scandals in all of presidential history. It's the sort of thing that you'd have to say is at least on par with something like Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky, and yet it pales in comparison to the charges that he's facing for things like stealing, retaining, and exposing very high-level national-security secrets, and of attempting to overthrow the government, conspiring to defraud the United States out of its presidential election, conspiring to defraud Georgia out of its presidential vote.If he manages to get power again, there is zero reason to believe that he wouldn't try to do the thing that he literally did last time that he and his team have been spending over three years planning for, to try to fix the problems of that so they could do it again more successfully. I think there's a lot of naïveté about how somebody would stop it. Well, who? Congress? Why? He got impeached but didn't get kicked out of office because Republicans protected him even when he caused a violent attack on their own building. So, in that case, Congress is toothless. He'll be protected legally from anything. And if he manages to beat the criminal justice system, then anytime somebody says, “That's a violation of the law,” you can just say, “I don't care. What are they going to do about it?”The part that a lot of people are underestimating is just how incredibly powerful institutional authority is. This idea of, it's norms all the way down … the idea that powerful people should follow the law is a norm. It is only a law to the extent that the people in power enforce it. And if the people in power, just enough of the people in power, don't enforce it, then it might as well not be a law. So the inflection point is the 2024 election. If they get power, they are not going to willingly give it up and they're not going to be checked while using it because they have already burst through those barriers, all those checks and balances. They've already beaten them—or, at least, if he gets reelected, would have already beaten them.Some people get into a bit of a fantasy: “Well, it'll be like the past in that we'll work hard in the midterms and then Congress will check him.” But why? Or, some that I've seen, especially from more radical people on the left, that there'll be all these great protests. You mentioned the Insurrection Act—I don't think Americans have really absorbed what it looks like when the government sends the military to fire on protesters. We already saw Trump do a bit of this in his first term in the infamous photo-op at Lafayette Square in DC in which had security services violently clear an area so that Trump could go through to this church and take a photo. Incidentally, he took it with the Bible upside down, but you know, still.There were also these weird paramilitary forces that showed up in Portland, Oregon that were throwing people into vans that were federal officers, but unmarked and turned out to be this force cobbled together from border patrol and others. That was basically a separate, semi-legal force. So having seen this already, and then having that validation of reelection despite fighting the law, despite not following the law and violating the law, there is a decent chance that would do it.This doesn't mean that every single member of the U.S. military is going to go, “Yes, sir. I'm going to violate my oath and shoot people.” But some probably will. Certainly some will out of a sense of, “Look, this is the commander in chief. That's what he's saying.” Some will because they like it and because they agree with him. The two possibilities, then, are either the security forces and the military honor the order and then they violently put down these protests in a way that modern America at least has never seen or that causes some sort of split in the military, which is also devastating and would break the country.This was a point that Hannah Arendt made in The Origins of Totalitarianism in 1951 that really resonates today, which is that incompetence can be an asset to wannabe authoritarians because it ends up getting competent people to quit and then opens up more spots for loyalists and makes it that they don't have this fundamental hesitancy when it comes to, ‘But, I'm violating a norm or I'm violating a law.' — Nicholas GrossmanBerny: Imagine that we stripped our vocabulary of labels and just used descriptors. Imagine that historians all formed a pact to no longer use labels and just lay out what each historical movement and figures have done. And so we get to a point where, with historical distance, we read descriptions of what Mussolini and other fascist movements in the 20th century believed and carried out, and we get descriptions of what Trump in the 21st century believed and carried out. What do you think would be the biggest difference in those descriptions? And then what would be the element with the most overlap between them?Nicholas: The most overlap is democratic backsliding: an elected leader abusing power to gain unchecked authority and then use that to violate our various core tenets of democracy up to and including individual rights and future elections.For the least parallel, maybe actually not as sound as it used to be, but the part where it's most different is in the aggressive military force abroad, the desire for conquest. You have a number of these historical cases where the new leader goes to conquer some foreign people, usually some people that they consider lesser, racially or in some other way, where they consider themselves the rightful masters. We talked about the Europeans a lot, but you can see this with Imperial Japan in the 20th century.With Trump and the MAGA movement, something that has caught my attention is increasing discussions of invading Mexico, of using military force against Mexico, usually tied up not in a desire for conquest and domination per se … it's usually more to stop illegal immigration, or to stop drug dealers. But if they had actually thought any of it through, it amounts to a U.S. war with Mexico. The Mexican government already works with the United States in a coordinated fashion on things like dealing with drug traffickers—maybe not as much or as well as some would like, but nevertheless there is a decent amount of coordination. So, if they actually tried to go through with this, Mexico would resist it and that could create really serious problems spiraling from there. But I'd say the main focus of the MAGA movement is a lot more domestic and really want to dominate and repress groups of Americans that they don't like, rather than to be violently dominant and repressive of bordering countries as well. So I would not expect that the U.S. is going to gear up for a military invasion of Canada. That would be lower on my list of worries, whereas something like an authoritarian power within the United States that focus on domestic enemies is decently more likely.Berny: Nick, thank you so much.Nicholas: Thanks, Berny.Landry: Thank you for listening to Zooming In, a project of The UnPopulist.

If we fail to aid Ukraine and Russia succeeds in overwhelming that country, expect Putin to head to Moldova and Poland or the Baltic states next: his generals and his #2, Dmitry Medvedev have said so…See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It has been an amazing week of World War 3 news for the few people who are paying attention to the rapidly escalating tensions between nuclear armed nations. French President Macron doubled down on his call for NATO troops to be deployed to Ukraine. A high ranking French general said France could muster 60,000 troops to fight the Russians. Russia's top intelligence spy chief said his agency believes France will soon deploy 2,000 soldiers to Ukraine. Dmitry Medvedev said French troops in Ukraine will be sent home in coffins. If that's not enough to convince you that big nations are prepping for all-out war, we now have news from Taiwan that U.S. troops have been deployed to the breakaway Chinese island. Rick Wiles.

In every war, there is a battle over its origins. In this episode, historians Michael Kimmage and Mark Galeotti discuss Kimmage's new book, "Collisions," which seeks to explain why the excessive optimism of the early 1990s about Russia's path toward democracy and market economics never materialized. Moreover, Kimmage's narrative explains what led to each major collision between Russia and Ukraine; Russia and Europe; and Russia and the larger "rules-based order" led by the United States. Russia under Putin -- and for a brief period, Dmitry Medvedev -- and the United States under five presidential administrations could not overcome a fundamental dissonance in how each viewed the other's role in the world. Institutions such as NATO and the E.U., seen in the West as bulwarks of democracy, human rights, and economic prosperity, were viewed with hostility by Putin, who believed an independent Ukraine had no right to join them. ((Note: This conversation was recorded before the eastern Ukrainian town of Avdiivka fell to Russian forces))

Messaging Open Mind or NotThe Ochelli Effect 2-14-2024 MessagingIs anyone who pays intense attention to this interview listening to it objectively? What can we learn from Tucker Carlson interviewing Putin? Ultimately Chuck thinks that listeners will describe this pod as Pro-Putin or Anti-Putin based on their personal stance. Like the contents of a bag of chips, This audio recap and commentary will get reactions that tell us more about the listener than wqhat they were listening to.Whatever history and facts are presented in the Putin/Tucker interview are only part of the story. We ask you if the interview was informative, or was Carlson just giving The Russian President the benefit of his audience?Chuck plays and examines some of the exchanges where Vladimir toys with the host a bit and gets annoyed at interruptions. When very gentle challenges came up during questions, how were they handled by the most adept Politician and Spy Master in the world? Is there anything new we can learn about the current conflict in Ukraine? Do we get an idea about the true worldview of the influential leader of Russia who is a key player in the current world order? One listener has offered to check the translations with a copy that doesn't have the english dubbed over the audio. Chuck broke down some of what he observed in the video and plays highlights from it to ask listeners what they understood about the potetially strategic messages that Carlson is clearly oblivious to and asks what is in the ear of the beholder? Are there concealed messages hidden in plain sight during this conversation?A practical summation of The current President of Russia might commence with a relevent beginning in 1975 at age 23 and his graduation from the Leningrad State University law department, after which his tenure as KGB foreign intelligence officer begins, rising to the rank of colonel before resigning in 1991 as he transitioned to a political career. In 1996 he was elected mayor of Saint Petersburg , he moved to Moscow to join the administration of President Boris Yeltsin in 1997. Boris Yeltsin appointed Putin deputy chief of Presidential Staff, which he remained until May 1998, and chief of the Main Control Directorate of the Presidential Property Management Department until June 1998. He briefly served as the director of the Federal Security Service (FSB) and then as secretary of the Security Council of Russia before being appointed prime minister in August 1999. Following Yeltsin's resignation, Putin became acting president and, in less than four months, was elected to his first term as president. He was subsequently reelected in 2004. Due to constitutional limitations of two consecutive presidential terms, Putin served as prime minister again from 2008 to 2012 under Dmitry Medvedev. He returned to the presidency in 2012, and was reelected in 2018. In April 2021, after a referendum, he signed into law constitutional amendments that included one allowing him to run for reelection twice more, potentially extending his presidency to 2036.Thus there is an inescapable understanding that Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin is highly educated in political and intelligence knowledge from the corridors of power native to what was the USSR and today is The Russian Federation. He is above well-versed in tactical covert communications as any product of a duel Political and Intelligence experience should be.This most recent rather lengthy public conversation with a friendly interviewer is worthy of careful elucidation.Chuck asks you to interpret what you heard - PLEASE Note how the truth is in the ear of the beholder much like beauty strikes the eye.Tucker Interviews Putinhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOCWBhuDdDo&t=1865sInterview to Tucker CarlsonVladimir Putin answered questions from Tucker Carlson, a journalist and founder of Tucker Carlson Network.http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/73411A FEW EXAMPLES OF OTHERS examining the same conversationPutin's Interview With Carlson: What We Learnedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2fcnrHd7ooPutin gives first western interview with Tucker CarlsonRussians give verdict on Putin's interview with Tucker Carlson https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWHFG2Egpw4Opinion | The Tucker-Russia relationship draws intense media scrutinyhttps://www.poynter.org/newsletters/2024/tucker-carlson-putin-interview-criticism/Tucker Carlson streams interview with Vladimir Putin (full conversation) https://www.rt.com/shows/rt-interview/592090-tucker-carlson-kremlin-putin-conversation/Four Highlights From Tucker Carlson's Interview With Vladimir Putinhttps://www.newsweek.com/five-highlights-tucker-carlsons-interview-vladimir-putin-1868384KEEP OCHELLI GOING.You are the EFFECT if you support OCHELLIhttps://ochelli.com/donate/Ochelli Link Treehttps://linktr.ee/chuckochelliBASIC MONTHLY MEMBERSHIP$10.

pWotD Episode 2481: Alexei Navalny Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a popular Wikipedia page every day.With 873,471 views on Friday, 16 February 2024 our article of the day is Alexei Navalny.Alexei Anatolyevich Navalny (Russian: Алексей Анатольевич Навальный, IPA: [ɐlʲɪkˈsʲej ɐnɐˈtolʲjɪvʲɪtɕ nɐˈvalʲnɨj]; 4 June 1976 – 16 February 2024) was a Russian opposition leader, lawyer, anti-corruption activist, and political prisoner. He organised anti-government demonstrations and ran for office to advocate reforms against corruption in Russia, and against President Vladimir Putin and his government. Navalny was a Russian Opposition Coordination Council member. He was the leader of the Russia of the Future party and founder of the Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK). He was recognised by Amnesty International as a prisoner of conscience, and was awarded the Sakharov Prize for his work on human rights. As of 2021, Navalny had more than six million YouTube subscribers; through his social media channels, he and his team have published material about corruption in Russia, organised political demonstrations and promoted his campaigns. In a 2011 radio interview, he described Russia's ruling party, United Russia, as a "party of crooks and thieves", which became a popular epithet. Navalny and the FBK have published investigations detailing alleged corruption by high-ranking Russian officials and their associates.In July 2013, Navalny received a suspended sentence for embezzlement, but was still allowed to run in the 2013 Moscow mayoral election and came in second, with 27% of the vote, outperforming expectations but losing to incumbent mayor Sergey Sobyanin, a Putin appointee. In December 2014, Navalny received another suspended sentence for embezzlement. Both of his criminal cases were widely considered to be politically motivated and intended to bar him from running in future elections. The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) later ruled that the cases violated Navalny's right to a fair trial, but the sentences were never overturned. In December 2016, Navalny launched his presidential campaign for the 2018 presidential election but was barred by Russia's Central Election Commission (CEC) after registering due to his prior criminal conviction; the Russian Supreme Court subsequently rejected his appeal. In 2017, the documentary He Is Not Dimon to You was released, accusing Dmitry Medvedev, the then prime minister and previous president, of corruption, leading to mass protests. In 2018, Navalny initiated Smart Voting, a tactical voting strategy intended to consolidate the votes of those who oppose United Russia, to the party of seats in elections. In August 2020, Navalny was hospitalised in serious condition after being poisoned with a Novichok nerve agent. He was medically evacuated to Berlin and discharged a month later. Navalny accused Putin of being responsible for his poisoning, and an investigation implicated agents from the Federal Security Service. In January 2021, Navalny returned to Russia and was immediately detained on accusations of violating parole conditions while he was hospitalised in Germany which were imposed as a result of his 2014 conviction. Following his arrest and the release of the documentary Putin's Palace, which accused Putin of corruption, mass protests were held across Russia. In February 2021, his suspended sentence was replaced with a prison sentence of over two and a half years' detention, and his organisations were later designated as extremist and liquidated, including the FBK. In March 2022, Navalny was sentenced to an additional nine years in prison after being found guilty of embezzlement and contempt of court in a new trial described as a sham by Amnesty International; his appeal was rejected and in June, he was transferred to a high-security prison. In August 2023, Navalny was sentenced to an additional 19 years in prison on extremism charges meaning he would be released in December 2038. Navalny commented that his sentence is as long as either his life or the life of the political regime in the country. In December 2023, Navalny went missing from prison for almost three weeks and then re-emerged in a new arctic circle jail in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. On 16 February 2024, the Russian prison service reported that Navalny had died at the age of 47.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:25 UTC on Saturday, 17 February 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Alexei Navalny on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Aditi Standard.

A Otan anunciou nesta quinta-feira (18) que iniciará nesta semana seu maior exercício militar em décadas. A operação durará vários meses e envolverá 90 mil soldados da aliança, com a participação de mais de 30 países. Segundo a aliança atlântica, o bloco precisa estar preparado para enfrentar adversários como a Rússia. Na semana passada, o ex-presidente russo Dmitry Medvedev, agora vice-presidente do Conselho de Segurança do país, disse que Moscou consideraria qualquer ajuda militar do Reino Unido à Ucrânia como uma declaração de guerra. A Rússia também tem feito reiteradas ameaças aos países membros da Otan, após a Finlândia, que tem uma fronteira de mais de 1.300 quilômetros de extensão com o país, decidir ingressar n o grupo. A convocação recorde da Otan ocorre também em um momento em que a Rússia intensificou ataques aéreos a grandes cidades na Ucrânia. Na sexta-feira passada, o presidente do comitê militar da Otan, o almirante holandês Rob Bauer, confirmou que a aliança está se preparando para uma guerra com a Rússia. Afinal, essa convocação histórica da Otan, pode ser entendida como uma provocação à Rússia? Os russos podem fazer alguma retaliação ao exercício? Estamos à beira de uma terceira guerra mundial? No ‘Estadão Notícias' de hoje, vamos conversar sobre o assunto com o professor visitante da universidade de relações exteriores da China, Marcus Vinícius De Freitas.

Tổng thống Vladimir Putin “vui vẻ nhận lời mời” thăm Việt Nam của chủ tịch Võ Văn Thưởng trong cuộc gặp ngày 17/10/2023 bên lề Diễn đàn Vành Đai và Con Đường ở Bắc Kinh, Trung Quốc. Ông Thưởng “khẳng định Việt Nam luôn ghi nhớ sự ủng hộ và giúp đỡ” của nhân dân Nga trong công cuộc xây dựng đất nước trước đây và ngày nay. Việt Nam có đường lối “đối ngoại độc lập, tự chủ, đa phương hóa, đa dạng hóa” và “luôn coi Liên bang Nga là một trong những đối tác quan trọng hàng đầu”. Lời mời được đưa ra không lâu sau chuyến công du Việt Nam của tổng thống Mỹ Joe Biden, trong khi ông Putin cũng đang phải đối mặt với lệnh truy nã quốc tế do Tòa Án Hình Sự Quốc Tế ban hành. Một chuyến công du như vậy có thể diễn ra trong bối cảnh như thế nào ? Việt Nam có gặp trở ngại gì nếu tiếp đón tổng thống Putin ?RFI Tiếng Việt đặt câu hỏi với nhà nghiên cứu Laurent Gédéon, giảng viên Trường Sư phạm Lyon, Pháp (École Normale supérieure de Lyon).RFI : Tổng thống Nga Vladimir Putin đã nhận lời mời sớm thăm Việt Nam. Căn cứ vào bối cảnh chính trị thế giới hiện nay, liệu chuyến thăm có thể “sớm” diễn ra không ? Laurent Gédéon : Để trả lời cho câu hỏi này cần nhắc lại tầm quan trọng của mối quan hệ Nga-Việt. Người ta nhớ rằng sự kiện ông Vladimir Putin lên nắm quyền đã đánh dấu một bước khởi đầu mới trong quan hệ giữa hai nước. Chuyến công du đầu tiên đầy ấn tượng của tổng thống Nga diễn ra ngay tháng 03/2001. Hai bên đã ký Tuyên bố chung về quan hệ Đối tác chiến lược. Đây cũng là thỏa thuận đầu tiên theo hình thức này của Việt Nam, tập trung tăng cường hợp tác song phương trong các lĩnh vực năng lượng, hạt nhân, công nghệ, quân sự, văn hóa và học thuật.Kể từ năm 2008, hai bên đã thiết lập cơ chế Đối thoại quốc phòng thường niên. Năm 2012, Đối tác chiến lược được nâng cấp thành Đối tác chiến lược toàn diện. Năm 2013, một bản ghi nhớ về hợp tác hải quân được thông qua. Đến năm 2015, dưới sự bảo trợ của Nga, Việt Nam ký một thỏa thuận tự do thương mại với Liên minh Kinh tế Á-Âu. Thỏa thuận hợp tác trong lĩnh vực công nghiệp quốc phòng được hai nước ký năm 2016.Mối quan hệ song phương vẫn không ngừng tăng cường sau cuộc khủng hoảng tại Ukraina. Năm 2022, ngoại trưởng Nga Sergueï Lavrov đã công du Việt Nam hai ngày. Một năm sau đến lượt chủ tịch Tòa Án Tối Cao Liên bang Nga Vyatcheslav Lebedev. Ông Dmitry Medvedev, chủ tịch đảng Nước Nga thống nhất, phó chủ tịch Hội đồng An ninh Liên bang Nga, cũng thăm Việt Nam vào tháng 05/2023. Đọc thêm : "Việt Nam muốn khẳng định chính sách đối ngoại độc lập và tự chủ" khi tiếp ngoại trưởng NgaMối quan hệ song phương có thể được tóm lược như sau. Về mặt kinh tế, Việt Nam là đối tác thương mại lớn nhất của Nga trong khối ASEAN. Matxcơva cung cấp gần như toàn bộ dầu khí mà Việt Nam sử dụng. Về mặt quân sự, Matxcơva là đối tác chính của Hà Nội. Nga giúp Việt Nam phát triển năng lực phòng chống tên lửa trên bộ và trên biển. Nga tham gia tích cực vào quá trình hiện đại hóa đội tầu chiến Việt Nam và tăng khả năng tấn công của quân đội Việt Nam.Về mặt ngoại giao, tổng thống Vladimir Putin có thể trông cậy vào sự ủng hộ không lay chuyển của chính phủ Việt Nam. Ví dụ, Hà Nội đã không lên án cuộc xâm lược Ukraina. Tháng 04/2022, Việt Nam cũng bỏ phiếu chống một dự thảo nghị quyết loại Nga khỏi Hội Đồng Nhân Quyền Liên Hiệp Quốc.Trở lại câu hỏi, dù khó đoán chính xác ngày công du nhưng dựa vào bối cảnh thuận lợi cho mối quan hệ Việt-Nga, có lẽ năm 2024 là thời điểm phù hợp cho chuyến công du chính thức Việt Nam của tổng thống Nga. Lý do là 2024 là năm quan trọng cho cả hai nước vì đánh dấu tròn 30 năm ký Hiệp ước về những nguyên tắc cơ bản của quan hệ hữu nghị Việt Nam - Nga (1994-2024).RFI : Tổng thống Nga Putin bị Tòa Án Hình sự Quốc tế (CPI) phát lệnh bắt vì bị cáo buộc cưỡng ép đưa trẻ em Ukraina sang Nga hoặc các vùng lãnh thổ Ukraina bị Nga chiếm đóng. Nhưng dường như ông Putin có thể hoàn toàn yên tâm nếu đến thăm Việt Nam ?Laurent Gédéon : Việt Nam, cũng như Nga, không tham gia Công ước Roma. Theo một sắc lệnh tổng thống ký ngày 16/11/2016, Nga đã rút khỏi.Tuy nhiên, cần nhắc đến một tiền lệ về trường hợp cựu tổng thống Sudan Omar El-Béchir. Tháng 06/2015, ông Omar El-Béchir, bị truy tố vì tội diệt chủng ở Darfour, đến Nam Phi dự thượng đỉnh Liên Hiệp Châu Phi. Dù ký Công ước Roma nhưng Nam Phi đã từ chối bắt ông Omar El-Béchir trước khi ông vội rời khỏi nước này. Chính quyền Pretoria lập luận rằng họ bị khó xử giữa việc tôn trọng quy định của Tòa Án Hình Sự Quốc Tế với chính luật pháp của Nam Phi liên quan đến bảo đảm quyền miễn trừ của tổng thống. Đáp lại, Tòa Án Hình Sự Quốc Tế cho rằng Pretoria đã không làm tròn bổn phận quốc tế vì không bắt tổng thống Sudan lúc ông có mặt trên lãnh thổ Nam Phi. Tòa Án Hình Sự Quốc Tế nhắc lại rằng Nam Phi, cũng như bất kỳ quốc gia thành viên nào khác, có nghĩa vụ bắt giữ một cá nhân bị Tòa Án Hình Sự Quốc Tế truy nã.Ngoài ra cũng cần nhắc lại trường hợp của cựu tổng thống Chilê Augusto Pinochet dù khuôn khổ pháp lý không hẳn giống nhau. Ông Pinochet là đối tượng trong lệnh bắt quốc tế của một bồi thẩm đoàn quốc gia Tây Ban Nha. Bồi thẩm đoàn này tuyên bố có thẩm quyền dựa trên nguyên tắc thẩm quyền chung sau khi các nạn nhân chịu tra tấn và ép mất tích ở Chilê đệ đơn kiện. Tướng Pinochet bị chính quyền Anh bắt vào tháng 10/1998 khi đến nghỉ ở Anh Quốc. Bị quản thúc tại gia, nhà cựu độc tài trở thành đối tượng bị dẫn độ theo quyết định của các thẩm phán Anh. Nhưng biện pháp này chưa bao giờ được thi hành cho đến khi ông Pinochet được trả tự do và trở về Chilê năm 2000. Đọc thêm : Putin có thể bị bắt giữ theo lệnh truy nã Tòa án Hình sự Quốc tế ?Liên quan đến tổng thống Vladimir Putin, vấn đề từng được nêu lên hồi tháng 08/2023 nhân thượng đỉnh BRICS ở Pretoria. Chính quyền Nam Phi tỏ ra do dự, thậm chí còn nêu khả năng rút khỏi Quy chế Roma. Cuối cùng, họ đã không là gì. Còn tổng thống Nga quyết định không công du Nam Phi vì phần nào không muốn đẩy đối tác Nam Phi vào thế khó xử.Trong trường hợp của Việt Nam, bối cảnh có thể sẽ khác bởi vì ông Putin là khách mời chính thức chứ không phải đến nhân dịp nào đó, ví dụ trong khuôn khổ một cuộc họp thượng đỉnh quốc tế. Ngoài ra, ông Putin là người đứng đầu một Nhà nước không tham gia Quy chế Roma, là khách mời của một nước cũng không phải là thành viên Quy chế Roma. Trong bối cảnh đó, khả năng Tòa Án Hình Sự Quốc Tế gây sức ép có lẽ sẽ rất hạn chế bởi vì Việt Nam không bị ràng buộc phải tuân theo những quy định của Tòa Án Hình Sự Quốc Tế.Trong những điều kiện nói trên, có thể thấy rằng không phải khía cạnh pháp lý sẽ đè nặng lên việc đánh giá rủi ro cho chuyến công du mà là khía cạnh chính trị.RFI : Việt Nam ngỏ lời mời nhưng liệu có thực sự muốn ông Putin đến thăm vào thời điểm này không ? Laurent Gédéon : Trong bối cảnh như vậy, Hà Nội có lẽ sẽ bị gây sức ép từ hai đối tác chính : Hoa Kỳ và Trung Quốc. Về phía Bắc Kinh, khó có thể thấy Trung Quốc nhất quyết yêu cầu Việt Nam dẫn độ đồng minh thân cận nhất của họ.Liên quan đến Hoa Kỳ, cần phải tính đến chủ đích của Washington muốn xích gần Việt Nam về mặt địa chiến lược, trong đó minh chứng mới nhất là chuyến công du Hà Nội của tổng thống Joe Biden trong hai ngày 10 và 11/09. Mỹ chủ trương vượt một bước trong mối quan hệ song phương và tiến tới hợp tác đối tác chiến lược toàn diện và việc này đã được thực hiện. Cho đến hiện nay, Việt Nam chỉ ký mô hình hợp tác này với các nước Nga, Ấn Độ, Hàn Quốc và Trung Quốc. Cho nên đối với Washington, đó là một thắng lợi ngoại giao đáng kể.Trong những điều kiện đó và căn cứ vào tầm quan trọng của Việt Nam đối với Washington trong quá trình cạnh tranh toàn cầu giữa hai siêu cường, rất có thể Mỹ chỉ gây sức ép mang tính biểu tượng thông qua tuyên bố về chuyến công du của tổng thống Nga nếu chuyến công du diễn ra.RFI : Ông Putin từng tuyên bố là không muốn đẩy “bạn hữu” vào thế khó xử khi quyết định không đến dự thượng đỉnh BRICS ở Nam Phi. Liệu có thể suy luận là ông Putin sẽ đến Việt Nam vào thời điểm thích hợp ?Laurent Gédéon : Tôi không nghĩ là bối cảnh giống với bối cảnh chuyến công du Nam Phi từng dự kiến của tổng thống Nga. Ông Putin nhận lời mời đích danh từ đồng nhiệm Việt Nam. Cần phải coi cử chỉ này không phải là một lời mời thông thường mà có ý nghĩa về mặt ngoại giao và địa-chính trị.Qua lời mời tổng thống Nga, Hà Nội gửi đi ba thông điệp. Trước tiên là thông điệp gửi đến Nga, bày tỏ mong muốn của Việt Nam tiếp tục quá trình hợp tác được gây dựng từ nhiều năm qua trong bối cảnh hai nước thông hiểu nhau. Lời mời này cũng thể hiện sự coi trọng của chính quyền Việt Nam, muốn nói rằng Nga không bị loại khỏi cuộc chơi và Nga luôn giữ tiềm năng địa-chính trị quan trọng trong mắt Việt Nam. Đọc thêm : Nga xâm lược Ukraina và “Ngoại giao cây tre” của Việt NamThông điệp thứ hai được gửi đến Trung Quốc. Hà Nội muốn cho Bắc Kinh thấy là họ duy trì mối quan hệ đặc quyền với Nga, quốc gia mà Trung Quốc cũng có mối quan hệ gần gũi sâu sắc. Điều này tăng cường vị thế của Việt Nam đối với Bắc Kinh trong khi hai bên tranh chấp chủ quyền gay gắt ở Biển Đông.Thông điệp cuối cùng được gửi đến Hoa Kỳ. Không phải ngẫu nhiên mà ngay sau chuyến công du Việt Nam của ông Biden mà Hà Nội mời tổng thống Nga đến thăm. Khi mời ông Putin, Hà Nội muốn đánh dấu sự khác biệt và tự chủ trong quyết định đối với Hoa Kỳ, đồng thời khẳng định rằng Việt Nam không đi theo chương trình hành động của Washington.Tất cả những yếu tố trên cho phép nghĩ rằng chuyến công du của tổng thống Nga sẽ diễn ra khi Hà Nội và Matxcơva thấy có lợi, dù là về mặt đối ngoại, đối nội, quân sự hay bất kỳ lý do nào khác và có thể là vào năm 2024.RFI : Trung Quốc, nước không tham gia Quy chế Roma, đã trải thảm đỏ đón “thượng khách” Putin tại Diễn đàn Vành Đai và Con Đường. Liệu mối quan hệ song phương được tăng cường có tác động đến mối quan hệ với Việt Nam ? Laurent Gédéon : Người ta thấy chính quyền Nga thường chủ trương trung lập về mối quan hệ giữa Trung Quốc và Việt Nam và những cạnh tranh giữa hai nước này ở Biển Đông. Nhìn chung, Matxcơva không lên án những hành động của Hải Quân và hải cảnh Trung Quốc, hai lực lượng vẫn thường có sự cố với tầu tuần tra và tầu cá Việt Nam trong những năm gần đây.Nga phản đối quốc tế hóa xung đột ở Biển Đông, như vậy là đứng về lập trường của Trung Quốc vì nước này cũng phản đối. Luận điểm này có thể khiến Hà Nội khó xử, thêm vào đó là Nga và Trung Quốc gia tăng hợp tác trong lĩnh vực quân sự, chẳng hạn các cuộc diễn tập hải quân thường xuyên giữa hạm đội Nga và Trung Quốc.Tuy nhiên, cần nhấn mạnh là Nga được lợi khi chú ý đến mối quan hệ với Hà Nội vì Việt Nam cũng là một trong những đối thủ cạnh tranh quan trọng của Trung Quốc ở trong vùng. Do đó, Matxcơva có thể dựa vào mối quan hệ với Hà Nội để hạn chế nguy cơ đối đầu trực diện với Bắc Kinh. Nhìn vào mối quan hệ không cân bằng về tổng thể giữa Trung Quốc và Nga, việc này không hẳn có lợi cho Nga về lâu dài. Do đó, Matxcơva có lợi khi đa dạng hóa các liên minh và các điểm hỗ trợ trong khu vực. Với chất lượng của mối quan hệ chặt chẽ Việt Nam và Liên bang Nga, rõ ràng Hà Nội là đối tác có chủ đích của Matxcơva. Do đó, trong những điều kiện hiện nay, Việt Nam không có gì phải lo trước sự xích lại gần nhau giữa Trung Quốc và Nga.RFI Tiếng Việt xin chân thành cảm ơn nhà nghiên cứu Laurent Gédéon, giảng viên Trường Sư phạm Lyon, Pháp.

Los recientes ataques con drones marinos ucranianos a importantes puntos en el Mar Negro han desatado el temor de un desastre ecológico paralelo a la guerra. La amenaza de estos drones navales radica en que pueden atacar rápidamente sin ser detectados, algo que ha provocado que el alto funcionario ruso Dmitry Medvedev amenace con represalias. Rusia también intenta impedir las exportaciones de grano de Ucrania al atacar las reservas a orillas del río Danubio, lo que podría provocar una crisis alimentaria a mayor escala.Para conocer sobre cómo CNN protege la privacidad de su audiencia, visite CNN.com/privacidad

INTERVIEW: Russian officials say three Ukrainian drones targeted Moscow over the weekend, and one of those drones struck a skyscraper in the city. Ukraine has now taken responsibility for the attack.“Gradually, the war is returning to the territory of Russia—to its symbolic centers and military bases, and this is an inevitable, natural, and absolutely fair process,” Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.The strike is part of Ukraine's ongoing counteroffensive against Russia.In response to the drone strike, Russia's former president and prime minister, Dmitry Medvedev, said, “Just imagine that the offensive … in tandem with NATO succeeded and ended up with part of our land being taken away. Then we would have to use nuclear weapons by virtue of the stipulations of the Russian Presidential Decree," according to a Telegram post reported by CNN. How likely is it that Russia would use nuclear weapons against Ukraine in the coming months?Victoria Coates, Heritage Foundation vice president of the Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy, says that "it's been possible from the beginning," but added that she has "never considered it a particularly likely turn of events."Coates joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to explain how likely it is Ukraine will continue to target civilian infrastructure in Russia, what the results of such targeting might be, and what America's involvement in the war should look like moving forward.

This is TRT World's Daily News Brief for Monday, July 31st. *) Dozens killed in terrorist attack in Pakistan At least 44 people have been killed and more than 100 others wounded by a suicide bombing at a political gathering in northwest Pakistan. The blast targeted the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-F party as hundreds of supporters congregated in the town of Khar. The explosion took place ahead of the ruling coalition partner's public rally in the tribal Bajuar district, near the Afghan border. *) Moscow to use nuclear weapons if Ukraine succeeds Russia's former president has warned that if Ukraine's counter-offensive is successful and Kiev takes control of land, then Moscow will use nuclear weapons. Dmitry Medvedev, who now serves as deputy chair of Russia's Security Council, argued that Moscow was defending its citizens and their land. The former president said enemies should “worship” the Russian Armed Forces for preventing “the global nuclear fire from flaring up”. *) Deadly clash at Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon Several people have been killed and dozens were reported wounded in Lebanon's largest Palestinian refugee camp following clashes between two groups. A member of the Fatah Movement and his four guards were killed at the Ain al Helweh camp, local media said. The state-run National News Agency gave a provisional death toll of six, with perhaps more than 30 wounded. One soldier was reportedly wounded by a piece of shrapnel. *) Türkiye gas hub an ‘electronic trading platform': Putin Russian President Vladimir Putin has said a natural gas hub would be set up in cooperation with Türkiye as an “electronic trading platform”. The gas hub project aims to leverage Türkiye's growing role as a transit country for Europe, ensuring energy security amid potential gas connection disruptions. Putin and Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan agreed to work on the project following talks earlier this year. And finally… *) Morocco makes history at Women's World Cup Morocco has won a Women's World Cup match for the first time with a stunning 1-0 victory over South Korea. Morocco, one of the lowest-ranked teams at the tournament at 72 in the world, were supposed underdogs against the 17th-ranked Koreans. The hard-earned win keeps alive Morocco's chances of reaching the last 16 in Australia and New Zealand. And that's your daily news brief from TRT World. For more, head to trtworld.com

In an online post Wednesday on the Telegram messaging app, former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev said there were no longer any "moral limits" that would prevent Moscow from cutting undersea cables that transmit everything from gas to electricity, banking data and military communications between the USA and Europe. His threat echoed an argument that was used to justify Russian attacks on the two Nord Stream natural gas pipelines that run through the Baltic Sea. The explosions that ruptured them last year had severe implications for global telecommunications and internet connectivity. Mr. Medvedev's threats come after a series of other statements that suggested that Russia could fire hypersonic missiles near Washington, DC; warned that any loss of Russian forces in Ukraine would lead to a nuclear war in the West; and claimed that British officials are legitimate targets for attack. Before we delve into the Medvedev threat, we want to first take a look at a statement made yesterday by Vladimir Putin. Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart.

Russian former President Dmitry Medvedev said a crushing defeat and acts of retaliation against key figures in Ukraine and its allies are necessary to stop the Russia-Ukraine war. Meanwhile, air raid sirens wailed in numerous Ukrainian cities before dawn on Monday as Russia launched a barrage of missiles at Ukrainian targets. A Ukrainian military logistics hub was destroyed in anticipation of Ukraine's anticipated counter-offensive against Russia. More ominous were social media postings by former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev who implied that Russia will utterly destroy the Ukrainian military and the nations that support it.

Spinning off from a recent piece for the Spectator, I look at Dmitri Medvedev's decline and fall, from technocratic liberal hope to peddler of toxic anti-Western vitriol, and what this tells us about late Putinism: the hawkish turn, chameleonic politics, the need for scarecrows and the downside of Putin's loyalty.The Spectator piece is hereYou can also follow my blog, In Moscow's Shadows, and become one of the podcast's supporting Patrons and gain question-asking rights and access to exclusive extra materials right here. Support the show

North Korea has reportedly tested a tsunami-generating nuclear attack drone that is designed to produce a radioactive tsunami, which can launch a stealth attack on its enemies. The test was carried out to warn the United States and South Korea of the possibility of a nuclear war with North Korea. In response, South Korea's President, Yoon Suk Yeol, warned that North Korea would be accountable for its reckless provocations, and the country would reinforce its military capabilities in the face of the North's progressing nuclear dangers.In other news, Russia's former president, Dmitry Medvedev, warned that any attempt to enforce an arrest warrant for President Vladimir Putin from the International Criminal Court would be a declaration of war against Russia, and any such attempt would prompt an immediate response with a missile attack.Finally, NATO's Secretary-General has warned that there are signs of Russia requesting lethal aid from China, which will only prolong the conflict in Ukraine and lend support to an illegal war.Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart.

David Waldman wishes KITM listeners residing on Eastern Orthodox Earth a cheer-filled Equinox. But can it really be that great if we can't celebrate Arrestmas today? Today, tens of ones of protesters are feeling kind of silly, accurately, here and there across the US. Again, Antifa sends its regrets for not being able to attend. Republicans shout “Calm down everyone!” in an effort to make it seem like someone is excited. They demand investigations in an effort to make it seem that someone other than Donald Trump is on trial. They issue threats to make it seem like they are capable of following through. Then they say it really doesn't matter to make it seem as if they aren't in the same legal trouble as well. Ron DeSantis will degrade himself to appease Trump and it will destroy him. No way around that. Ron should enjoy his time subverting justice and razing society while he still can. Florida textbooks will equate Rosa Parks with a guy who needed to be wrapped in duct tape to remove off an airliner. If they succeed, it won't be just Florida. Or maybe the free market will intervene, and all schools will move to blue states.  Are we all like fetuses, but with less rights? The Fox v Dominion lawsuit heads to court. The Fox v Smartmatic lawsuit will pick up from there. Everybody, take a number and get in line. Grandpa always said not to take any wooden nickels, but JPMorgan Chase accepted bags of stones. Congressional absences are hurting both parties, but not as much as some of the ones that stick around. Things aren't going well for Russia right now, but Dmitry Medvedev believes that threatening to shoot up the courthouse might help. Greta Thunberg will sue Sweden for not doing enough about climate. Unemployment is low, so are layoffs. What can employers do to trick employees into not quitting?

Rick Wiles was faced with a dilemma trying to decide which headline was the most important to open today's TruNews. Should he start with the impending arrest of President Donald Trump, or should he talk about the ongoing implosion of Western banks? Maybe he should begin with Dmitry Medvedev's threat to nuke the International Criminal Court headquarters in the Netherlands. Or start today's TruNews talking about North Korea's war drills over the weekend to carry out a pre-emptive nuclear strike on the USA. Rick decided to go with Mr. Medvedev's warning to the ICC.

World War 3 was elevated to a new level today. The International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin. Russia's former president Dmitry Medvedev referred to the arrest warrant as toilet paper. And Mr. Medvedev issued a veiled threat against US Senator Lindsay Graham that the South Carolina Republican could be killed in a plane crash.Tune in as your TruNews team is ready to give you the most complete report anywhere on World War 3 and the reason for it, the implosion of the Western financial system.

One of Vladimir Putin's closest allies is warning the West that if they supply more arms to Ukraine, it will lead to an ‘apocalypse.' Former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev warned this week that the NATO-led alliance's attempt to weaken and destroy Russia could cause a nuclear war.Medvedev describes the apocalypse as a global nuclear catastrophe in which cities and industrial areas are destroyed by blasts from weapons, which release large amounts of radioactive smoke into the air. The smoke would eventually reach the stratosphere, where it could stay for decades unless there is no rain to wash it away.If the United States, Britain, and France started a nuclear war with Russia, it would wreak havoc on virtually every aspect of human life over several decades. It could deplete world supplies of oil, water, and food and lead to widespread famine.In addition, it could result in an apocalyptic winter with temperatures below zero and no rainfall. The coldest parts of the earth would become uninhabitable, leaving the vast majority of humanity unable to survive and requiring them to seek shelter elsewhere. It would also leave the land unusable for agriculture, resulting in widespread famine and starvation. We will discuss the deepening fears that Western support for Ukraine could result in a global war that involves weapons of mass destruction on this edition of TruNews. Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart.

One year after Moscow launched its invasion, ceremonies have been held in Kyiv and towns and cities across Ukraine - while in Russia the occasion is not being conspicuously marked. There's been no comment from President Putin, although the former president, Dmitry Medvedev, suggested his country should push Ukrainian forces all the way back to the Polish border. In Ukraine's capital, President Zelensky pledged to do everything to achieve victory in the year ahead. Newshour's Lyse Doucet is live in the capital Kyiv and we'll be live in Moscow as well.

It's Tuesday, January 24th, A.D. 2023. This The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Former homosexual faces prison over Christian testimony A Christian man in Malta, an island near Sicily, faces five months in prison and/or a $5,000-euro fine for giving his testimony on PMNews Malta last April, reports Fox News. Matthew Grech told the news outlet he had become a Christian and turned away from the homosexual lifestyle. This may be the first case of this form of Christian persecution in the Western world.   For the record, this is what Matthew said on the broadcast. “In the Bible, homosexuality is not an identity as we make it nowadays. And neither is it a feeling, but a practice. This means that no matter what sexual feelings a man or a woman is experiencing, if they have sexual relations with a person of the same sex, they commit the homosexual act in God's eyes, and that is a sin. Just like every other sin, one can repent from it and ask God for forgiveness and ask Him for strength to overcome.” Malta became the first nation in the European Union to ban conversion “therapy” for homosexuals in 2016.   ChristianConcern.com notes that the homosexual lobby in Malta has an end goal in mind. It's “aggressive campaigning is aimed at criminalizing Christian beliefs on human sexuality and silencing any opposition.” Muslims killed 14 Christians, wounded 63, during Congo baptism More Christian martyrdoms in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Africa where Muslim extremists are suspected of bombing a Church of Christ baptismal service, reports Morning Star News. At least 14 died and 63 more were wounded in the blast in Kasindi. A church elder reported that two men entered the church building and left a bag, which contained an improvised explosive device that soon detonated. Discrimination against churches in Indonesia Indonesian churches are increasingly finding it hard to find places to worship in the 86% Muslim- majority nation, reports Morning Star News.   A church in North Sumatra was kicked out of the mall where they worshiped, and prohibited from worshiping outdoors near the Medan City Hall.    Ironically enough, International Christian Concern documented that Indonesian President Joko Widodo recently addressed the National Coordination Meeting of Regional Head. He said “those who are Christians, Catholics, Hindus, and Confucians have the same rights in worship and freedom of religion.”    Biden applauds abortion on 50th Roe v. Wade anniversary The president of the United States took the opportunity to issue an official proclamation on the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade to commemorate the record of abortions.  Not only did President Biden call on the Congress to pass legislation to encode abortion as ”the law of the land,” but he committed to use “Executive Power” to enforce abortion in the U.S. He also commended the American voters for approving “the right to choose” in recent elections, including Kansas, California, and Michigan.  Surgical abortions, abortifacients, the IUD, Day After Pill, and the Kill Pill Over 65 million children have been murdered by abortion in the United State since 1973 -- up through 2022, reports the American Life League.   Unknown millions of other children have been killed by abortifacients, the IUD, the day after pill, and the undocumented use of Mifeprestone (the Kill Pill). Psalm 106:36-40 warns of this. “They even sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons, and shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; and the land was polluted with blood. … Therefore, the wrath of the Lord was kindled.”  Russian leader: U.S. involvement in war with Ukraine dangerous More saber-rattling from Russia. Dmitry Medvedev, the nation's deputy chairman of the security council (and former President), threatened that, "The world has come close to the threat of World War III due to impending U.S. aggression against the Russian Federation,” reports Sky News Arabia. Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov, told a South African audience over the weekend that the war is shifting from a proxy war (on the part of the European Allies) to “almost a real one” with Europe and America. Lab-grown meat coming soon Lab grown meat is soon to be on the market in the United States as early as this year, reports Reuters. Singapore has been selling the fake meat since 2021. Scientists have taken a few cells from real meat, and submitted the cells to intense anabolic growth hormones. A company called UPSIDE has the capacity of an annual production of 400,000 pounds of what they call “cultivated meat.” Home sales have dropped 44% Let us not forget that “the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils.” (1 Timothy 6:10) Home sales are tanking in the U.S. — and its worse in the West. Sales have dropped 44% in the Western states. Median prices are off 11.3% from their peak last June, almost entirely reversing year-on-year increases.   The worst decrease was seen in the San Francisco Bay Area — thus far, a 33% decrease in price from its April 2022 peak. 57,000 layoffs in tech firms this month And finally, so far in January, almost 57,000 layoffs have been announced for the tech industry, reports Business Insider.   That's in addition to 159,000 layoffs last year. The states claiming the highest percentage of tech jobs are Washington State, Virginia, and Colorado.

It's Tuesday, October 4th, A.D. 2022. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes and heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Writing letters to persecuted Christians helps International Christian Concern reports that writing letters to Christians in prison is highly effective. In regards to 7,500 letters mailed to two Iranian Christians imprisoned for their faith, ICC reports, “The letters don't always reach the prisoner. In Maryam and Marziyeh's case, they never actually got to read a single one. But guess who did read the letters? All 7,500 of them? Their guards! And as the guards read letter after letter, they began to treat Maryam and Marziyeh differently knowing the world was watching everything they did. The guards even became curious about the Bible verses written in the letters and would ask Maryam and Marziyeh for explanations.” Find out how to write letters to persecuted saints at www.persecution.org/letters Christian physician assistant fired over refusal to use fake pronouns Speaking of persecution, there's another example in the American workplace. Valerie Kloosterman, a physician assistant within the University of Michigan Health system, has been punished for her Christian convictions. When asked by representatives of Human Resources and the Department of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion if she would use “gender identity-based pronouns and be willing to refer patients for gender reassignment surgery,” she told them she could not because of her religious beliefs, reports The Christian Post.   According to First Liberty, the interviewer “grew hostile, visibly angry with tight fists and a flushed demeanor, and attacked her religious beliefs.  … [He] told Ms. Kloosterman that she ‘could not take the Bible or her religious beliefs to work with her, either literally or figuratively;' that given her religious beliefs against gender identity-based pronouns and ‘gender reassignment surgery,' she was to blame for transgender suicides; and that she was ‘evil.”   Subsequently, she was fired after a stellar,17-year career. First Liberty is demanding that she be reinstated or the legal defense organization is promising a lawsuit in a federal court.  Revelation 14:12 challenges believers to endure persecution. The Scripture says, “This calls for patient endurance on the part of the people of God who keep His commands and remain faithful to Jesus.” Big Tech upset with porn-filtering software Big Tech is demonstrating its commitment to online pornography, with Google removing porn-filtering companies from the Android Play Store.   This comes after the left-leaning Wired.com published an article titled "The Ungodly Surveillance of Anti-Porn ‘Shameware' Apps.” It was an attack piece on Covenant Eyes and Accountable2You.  Not the Bee commented on Google's actions. They wrote, “Meanwhile, Amazon, Instagram, Facebook and other apps all listen to you ALL THE TIME and give you ads based on things you just say out loud near your phone.”  But, let us remember, “If we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, His Son, cleanses us from all sin.” (1 John 1:7) New poll: Republicans have shot at retaking Congress In God's providence, it appears the Republicans have a good shot at regaining control of Congress in the 2022 elections because Americans are more concerned about their money than abortion.   A Monmouth poll found that 47% of voters would prefer a Republican-controlled Congress than Democrats, reports The Washington Examiner. And 82% of Americans see inflation as extremely or very important, over 56% who rank abortion as a significant concern.  Ukrainian president wants NATO membership fast-tracked As of last Friday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is asking NATO to accelerate Ukraine's membership application, reports World Magazine. This follows Russia's claim on four provinces in the Ukrainian state. In response, Dmitry Medvedev, Russia's top security official, called Zelenskyy's request akin to “begging NATO to accelerate the start of World War III.” Gun sales continue to skyrocket For gun sales, 2022 will turn out to be the third strongest year in American history, right behind 2020 and 2021. That's according to AmericanRifleman.org.   Gun sales in the U.S. averaged 4,000,000 in the 1990s and early 2000s. Over the last three years, the average has been between 10 and 13 million.  Europe's 10% inflation rate There is no abating inflation in the Eurozone — registering 10% in September, up from 9.1% in August. Meanwhile, the Bank of England has jumped back into Quantitative Easing with plans to issue another $650 billion in the upcoming weeks. The UK national bank has increased its base rate to 2.5% throughout seven rate hikes since January, fighting its own 10.0% inflation rate.  Brazil's Bolsonaro outperforms polls, headed to run-off And finally, pundits are saying it was a victory for conservatives in the Brazilian elections over the weekend. The presidential race tips to a runoff election scheduled for October 30th. The incumbent, Jair Bolsonaro, came within 5% of his challenger, Luiz Inácio Lula, the former leftist president. Indeed, Bolsonaro outperformed the prediction of the polls by 6-8%, giving Bolsonaro a fighting chance for the October 30th runoff. Sometimes referred to as South America's Donald Trump, Bolsonaro's favored candidates won the governorship of São Paulo, and the governorship of Rio de Janeiro. Bolsonaro to Tucker Carlson: My campaign anchored by John 8:32 Tucker Carlson from Fox News interviewed President Bolsonaro before the weekend's election. The president quoted from John 8:32 in his comments. BOLSONARO: “I connected my campaign anchored only with a biblical passage: John 8:32. ‘Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.' The media never gave me any visibility or space.  Much to the contrary, they attacked me all the time throughout the campaign. If the left wing does come back to power, in my view, they will never leave power, and this country will follow the same path as Venezuela, Argentina, Chile, and Colombia. Brazil will become one more wagon on that train. “The losers will be the Brazilian population and also the left wing itself. The left wing voters will lose as a result. All of South America will be colored red, if you understand me. And, in my view, the United States will become virtually an isolated country in the world.” CARLSON: “Amazing interview. And guess what? This will shock you.  Bolsonaro bears no resemblance whatsoever to the descriptions of Bolsonaro you have read in the New York Times. Completely different person. Seen that before?” Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Tuesday, October 4th, in the year of our Lord 2022.
