Lt. Gen. (retired) Ben Hodges is the former Commanding General of United States Army Europe, a post he held from 2014 to 2017 during the initial Russian invasion of Ukraine and NATO's subsequent reinforcement of its eastern flank. A 1980 West Point graduate and infantry officer, he commanded at company, battalion and brigade level, including the 1st Brigade Combat Team of the 101st Airborne Division during Operation Iraqi Freedom. He later served as Commander of NATO Allied Land Command in İzmir.Since retirement, Hodges has become a prominent analyst of European security, NATO logistics, Russia and Ukraine. He serves as a NATO Senior Mentor for Logistics, is associated with GLOBSEC's Future of Security and Defence Council, previously held CEPA's Pershing Chair in Strategic Studies, and co-authored Future War and the Defence of Europe. ----------LINKS:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Hodgeshttps://x.com/general_ben?lang=enhttps://www.globsec.org/who-we-are/our-people/lieutenant-general-retired-ben-hodgeshttps://www.rusi.org/people/hodges-0https://www.thecipherbrief.com/experts/ben-hodges----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------DESCRIPTION:Ben Hodges on Western Will, Russia's Escalation, and a Path to Ukrainian VictoryJonathan interviews retired Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges about what they describe as a “sub-admission” war in which the West fails to openly acknowledge Russia is at war with it, undermining political will, policy coherence, and a defined end state. They discuss Russia's rising risk-taking, including the Leipzig airport explosives drone incident and an underwhelming German response, arguing Moscow fills the space created by Western inaction and is rarely made to pay meaningful, unanticipated costs (including over frozen Russian assets). Hodges criticizes U.S. leadership under President Trump and urges Europe to “defeat Russia first” by enabling Ukraine to expel Russian forces, which would also signal resolve to China and isolate Iran. They contrast Ukraine's infrastructure-strike exhaustion strategy with Russia's strategy of erasure, warn about an accelerating drone arms race, and note civilians' constrained options under intensified strikes. Hodges argues strategic bombing is not decisive, highlights Ukraine's growing capacity to damage Russia's oil and gas revenue and to conduct integrated combined-arms operations, and closes by stressing war as a test of will.----------EPISODES:00:00 War Is a Test of Will01:08 Naming the Conflict03:10 Russia Fills the Space05:19 Seizing the Initiative07:21 Why the West Hasn't Mobilized09:26 Leadership and Defeat Russia First12:24 Theories of Victory16:17 Europe's Crocodile Strategy19:32 Drone Arms Race Reality21:35 Life Under Airstrikes25:19 Why Strategic Bombing Won't Win27:36 Combined Arms Hope29:34 Final Warning on Will30:25 Support the Channel----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Car4Ukrainehttps://car4ukraine.com/en-US/campaignsDzyga's Pawhttps://dzygaspaw.com/projectsSuperhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

On today's Iran: the Latest, Roland Oliphant and Venetia Rainey bring you the latest news from this dramatic story after a suspected knife attack by the co-pilot.

Plus, is the US-Iran war on the brink of fully restarting? Hamidreza Azizi, senior Iran analyst at the International Crisis Group, explains why despite ongoing peace talks, Iran's regime is betting it can outlast Trump or force the US into a strategic trap ahead of the November midterms.Hamidreza lays out how the mistrust on the Iranian side is “so deep that it has reached the level of paranoia” and that the current situation means the region may end up in an even bigger war.HighlightsIsrael plane pilot attacked mid-air amid hijack attempt‘Escalation is inevitable': Why the US-Iran war is about to restart CONTRIBUTORS:Roland Oliphant, co-host and chief foreign affairs analyst @RolandOliphantVenetia Rainey, co-host and executive producer @venetiaraineyHamidreza Azizi, senior Iran analyst International Crisis Group @HamidRezaAzWATCH US ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJnf_DDTfIVAif-vifC6F2aoPB8GIw6dkWinner Best News and Analysis Podcast - Publisher Podcast Awards 2026Nominated Podcast of the Year - Society of Editors News Podcasts Awards 2026Nominated Best News, Politics and Current Affairs - British Podcast Awards 2026The Telegraph, Winner Podcast Publisher of the Year 2026 - Publisher Podcast Awards 2026Producers: Peter Shevlin and Max Bower Researcher and Social Producer: Anna HindmarshStudio Operator: Andy WatsonExecutive Producer: Venetia Rainey ► Sign up to our most popular newsletter, From the Editor.

1947Escalating Fear And Korean ConflictNick Bunker, Part Two: Bunker details the dramatic escalation of Cold War tensions leading up to the June 1950 Korean War outbreak. The discussion highlights the perjury sentencing of Alger Hiss, Joe McCarthy's aggressive anti-communist speech campaign, and Stalin's secret authorization of Kim Il Sung's invasion plan.

Since Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022, Western policymakers have faced a recurring dilemma: how much escalation risk is acceptable in pursuit of a Ukrainian battlefield advantage? Samuel Charap and Mick Ryan join Maria Snegovaya to discuss whether Western fears of escalation systematically delayed critical military aid, how to weigh battlefield support against diplomatic engagement, and what victory for Ukraine might actually look like — including how different U.S. administrations have approached each of these questions.

Episode #1192 How do you have a difficult conversation with someone you care about without turning it into a confrontation? In this episode of The TPM Show, Doug Holt and Christopher Hansen work through that question in real time after Doug receives a message about someone close to him who appears to have lied. Normally, Doug's instinct would be to address the issue head-on. But this person is already going through a difficult season, which raises a bigger question: Does every problem need to be confronted immediately? Doug and Chris explore the difference between accountability and punishment, and why connection can sometimes be the best place to start a tough conversation. Instead of avoiding an issue completely or coming in with a hammer, they discuss how to consider what the other person is experiencing while still honoring your own boundaries. The conversation also applies directly to marriage. When your wife is dealing with perimenopause, health issues, grief, family challenges, or another difficult season, it can be tempting to stop addressing important issues altogether. Chris shares why those circumstances don't mean difficult conversations should disappear. They may simply require more care in how you approach them. The goal isn't to ignore problems. It's to create enough connection and emotional safety that honest conversations can actually happen. Timestamp Chapters 00:00 The challenge of having a difficult conversation 00:59 Doug receives an unexpected message 03:15 When someone who lied is already struggling 03:56 Accountability versus compassion 04:34 Why every situation doesn't need a hammer 07:12 When to address an issue and when to wait 07:56 How difficult seasons affect communication 09:05 Why connection should come first 10:33 Why people sometimes lie to avoid punishment 11:15 How to confront someone without attacking them 13:21 Addressing dishonesty while preserving connection 14:22 Difficult conversations when your wife is struggling 15:10 Connection first in marriage 16:55 Creating safety before addressing the issue 18:22 How to frame your next difficult conversation If your marriage is struggling and you've lost the love, admiration, or respect you once had, Doug offers his book, A Man's Guide on How to Save Your Marriage Without Talking About It, as a practical place to start: Prefer to watch instead of listen?

Ahead of the 2026 ASTRO Annual Meeting, Dr Raj Singh of Baptist Health joins the podcast to break down the studies he's watching most closely. The conversation opens with a pooled analysis of 3 phase 2 trials using FMISO PET imaging to identify hypoxic tumor regions and select patients with HPV-positive head and neck cancer who may safely de-escalate radiation dose, and Singh discusses what it would take to move this biomarker-driven approach beyond a single high-volume academic center. He then turns to updated C-POST data on the timing of cemiplimab initiation after radiotherapy in high-risk cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, and to Alliance A071801, a phase 3 trial comparing single-fraction vs fractionated stereotactic radiosurgery to the resection cavity after brain metastasis surgery, including why patient-reported cognitive and emotional well-being end points matter alongside recurrence-free survival.The discussion moves to two practice-shaping trials in small cell lung cancer: MAVERICK, which found no overall survival benefit for prophylactic cranial irradiation over MRI surveillance alone in limited-stage disease, and NRG CC009, comparing radiosurgery with hippocampal-avoidance whole brain radiotherapy plus memantine for patients with limited brain metastatic disease. Singh explains how these results may accelerate an already-underway shift away from whole brain radiotherapy. The episode closes with a look at TRIDENT, a tumor-treating fields trial in newly diagnosed glioblastoma that missed its primary end point, and what subgroup data might still reveal—plus Singh's broader take on radiation oncology's shift toward patient-reported, quality-of-life-focused outcomes.

Firas sits down to talk about the wars involving Iran and Russia how there's no real way out, and where things could go if this continues.

The United States, a global superpower for the last several decades, is now locked into a battle for control over the region with the bulk of the world's remaining fossil fuel reserves. Despite U.S. military strength, Iran is not backing down, equipped with a new era of military technology. What happens if the U.S. strategy backfires against its leadership's intention, and what are the larger implications for the balance of geopolitical power?  In this episode, Nate welcomes military historian and political scientist Robert Pape for an in-the-moment breakdown of the Iran war's trajectory. Drawing on more than two decades of modeling U.S. strikes on Iran, Pape lays out his central concept: the "escalation trap," in which tactical military success – such as killing leaders, hitting key assets, or a blockade – actually results in a strategic backfire as the attacked side is motivated by the need to survive. He layers this dynamic with the "Second Precision Revolution," which describes the rise of cheap, mass-produced drones that enable countries like Iran and Ukraine to withstand attacks from far stronger militaries. The two also discuss the tenuous position of the other Gulf States bordering Iran, the effects of this war on the financial power of the U.S., and the risk of an Iranian nuclear test in the next few months. Pape brings this all together to point toward the United States' position at the edge of losing its status as a lone superpower, pushing the world back toward regional power centers. What does the United States risk by continuing its strategy of brute punishment? How is the rest of the world adapting to the rapidly changing geopolitical gameboard? And if the United States global standing is relegated – and modern warfare is redefined by decentralized drone technology – what will it mean for stability and globalization more broadly?  (Conversation recorded on September 15th, 2026)   About Robert Pape: Robert A. Pape is Professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago specializing in international security affairs. His publications include Dying to Win: The Strategic Logic of Suicide Terrorism and Bombing to Win: Air Power and Coercion in War. His newest book, Our Own Worst Enemies: America in the Age of Violent Populism, is now available. Before teaching at the University of Chicago in 1999, Pape taught international relations at Dartmouth College for five years and air power strategy for the USAF's School of Advanced Airpower Studies for three years. He received his PhD from the University of Chicago in 1988. He is the director of the Chicago Project on Security and Threats.   Show Notes and More   Watch this video episode on YouTube   Want to learn the broad overview of The Great Simplification in 30 minutes?

AP correspondent Ed Donahue reports on new threats from Iran.

You wouldn't call 9-1-1 for a twisted ankle. And you wouldn't casually drive to the hospital if you were having a heart attack. This week's guest says that proper evaluation and severity ratings are crucial to effective crisis response, and that includes communications.   Hello everyone and welcome to episode 252 of the Resilient Journey Podcast, presented by Anesis Consulting Group!   This week we are joined by Philippe Borremans, a global risk, crisis and emergency communication consultant. Philippe shares his model for crisis response and tells us that the most common mistake he sees companies make is under-estimating the severity of the crisis. He encourages us to follow our operational guidelines when responding to a crisis, but adds that we need to put the same effort and curiosity into our communications.   Philippe encourages us to understand the difference between stakeholders and audiences and how our communications will differ between the two.   Be sure to follow The Resilient Journey!  We sure do appreciate it!

They examine reports of a Russian drone strike occurring near a train carrying former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, David Petraeus, and Carl Bildt near the Ukraine-Poland border. Germanicus argues that Western leaders are engaging in dangerous proxy escalation against Russia while living in a delusional dream world. Comparing current events to the 1939–1940 "Phony War" before the German Blitzkrieg, they warn that uncontrolled escalation threatens a major global conflict. (1)R

He also fact checks Trump's tarmac claims that the Iran war and high gas prices will both end right after the midterms, pointing out that Iran has in fact been escalating, launching one of its largest attacks of the war against US bases and ships in the region.He places all of it against the human cost of the war, including the US strike on a girls' school in Minab early in the conflict, and closes on the approaching first anniversary of Charlie Kirk's killing with a clear statement that he condemns political violence of any kind.

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) President Trump offered voters a quid pro quo, saying elect Republicans and get a $5,000 payout, which he called the Trump dividend. The proposal is unlikely to become law, as fellow Republicans have already rejected similar ideas and Congress would need to approve a cash payment program with a price tag well over $1 trillion. Trump's announcement was met with skepticism, with some seeing it as a desperate attempt to motivate voters and others predicting it will backfire, particularly given the US debt at record levels.2) Iran is ready for a more intense war and will escalate counterstrikes if the US continues attacking its territory and infrastructure, according to a senior official. The US and Iran have been engaged in a war for seven months, with recent tit-for-tat attacks pushing up energy prices and adding pressure on President Trump to end the conflict. Iran's leaders believe they have little choice but to keep fighting until they're confident Washington will be too wary to attack again in future, despite the worsening economic situation in the country.3) Apple unveiled the iPhone Duo, the company's first foldable smartphone, which will improve on rivals' foldable models. The iPhone Duo has a 7.6-inch screen, an outer 5.4-inch screen, and will be able to work with the iPad's Apple Pencil stylus, with a cost starting at $1,999. The device will be available for preorder on Oct. 16 in more than 70 countries and regions, ahead of its release on Oct. 23, and will sit at the top of Apple's iPhone lineup.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

CAPTION 1969 SAN'AAMiddle East Conflict Sparks EscalationJonathan Schanzer analyzes the expanding Middle East conflict, noting recent Iran-backed Houthi strikes on four Saudi cities. This dangerous escalation highlights Iran's strategy to disrupt regional energy assets and exploit vulnerabilities in the United States security architecture. Schanzer also details a worrying alliance between the Houthis and Somalia's al-Shabaab. In Lebanon, the Israeli military has cleared a key subterranean Hezbollah nerve center, leaving the proxy in financial disarray. Ultimately, Schanzer argues that Iran acts like a battered boxer playing "rope-a-dope," surviving to maintain its revolutionary ideology. Turkey is also complicating matters by pursuing an active encirclement strategy near Israel's borders. (2)

As the violence escalated, Grace finally called 911. She describes the police officer who recognised something Grace could not yet fully see herself. She reveals why and how he identified how dangerous the abuser was.  Grace describes the successful strategy she used to leave. Laura examines why victims may continue to protect, defend or return to the abuser - and why these behaviours need to be understood within the wider pattern of coercive control by EVERYONE.  Grace shares how her ex-partner pressured her to become pregnant and how his sense of entitlement extended to her reproductive choices. Laura unpacks reproductive coercion and how perpetrators can use pregnancy and children to increase dependency, entrapment and control.  Laura and Grace explore how an abuser can use a program and those running them as another means of manipulation and re-grooming.  Laura and Grace discuss:  Successful strategies for leaving  Reproductive coercion and entrapment   Trauma bonding and re-grooming   Escalation and high-risk behaviours   The weaponisation of therapeutic and recovery language   Why victims may protect or defend the abuser   The importance of informed police responses   Why leaving is a process, not an event   Accountability versus apologies   Grace's journey from survivor to advocate   Coercive control correlates significantly with femicide, familicide, homicide, and suicide.  Never tell the abuser you are leaving.  #GraceStewart #WhySheStayed #CoerciveControl #DomesticAbuse #DomesticViolence #SurvivorVoices #SurvivorStories #TraumaBond #EmotionalAbuse #PsychologicalAbuse #SexualCoercion #ReproductiveCoercion #PowerAndControl #AbuseIsAPattern #TrustYourInstincts #CrimeAnalyst #LauraRichards #BehaviouralAnalysis #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #Podcast   More from Grace Stuart Why She Stayed Podcast on Spotify   Why She Stayed Podcast on  Apple   Instagram      Clip    https://fb.watch/JqIfBK4k3q/?mibextid=wwXIfr  Support Crime Analyst     If you value these conversations, please follow, rate, and review Crime Analyst wherever you listen to podcasts.
