Podcasts about Escalation

This conversation was recorded before Russia's drone strike on Poland. But in the conversation we speculate that just such an incident is becoming an inevitable part of the Kremlin's escalating aggression and probing of Western defenses and resolve. ----------Today I'm speaking with Operator Starsky, a former Ukrainian National Guardian, blogger, and inspiration for everyone who is following the war, and supporting a Ukrainian victory. He has created one of the most popular and original YouTube channels dedicated to the international community.

They highlight the severe implications of this decision for national security and counter-intelligence efforts. The conversation turns to the lamentable yet strategic nature of disinformation campaigns and their harmful impacts and stresses the necessity for robust countermeasures. The discussion also delves into Ukraine's ongoing struggle and how the nation has remarkably adapted to external threats by enhancing its defensive and offensive capabilities, including the development of advanced drones and missiles like Flamingo. The societal and geopolitical impacts are examined, with specific focus on how international communities can provide better support against such pervasive threats. The episode wraps up with a poignant reminder of the unyielding resilience of the Ukrainian people amid these extraordinary challenges.----------CHAPTERS: 00:00 Introduction and Recap00:42 Breaking News: Disinformation Agreement Annulled01:57 The Threat of Russian Disinformation04:57 Propagandists and Justice08:11 Film Recommendation: Kiev of Mine11:02 Escalation in Ukraine13:31 Trump's Impact on Ukraine28:54 Ukraine's Resilience and Innovation36:03 Escalating Fuel Crisis in Russia38:18 Historical Context and Comparisons40:20 Russian Air Defense and Strategic Targets44:00 Internal Russian Politics and Potential Coups46:58 Ukraine's Strategic Strikes and International Support52:35 Impact of Sanctions on Russian Aviation58:52 Western Perceptions of Russia01:04:16 Historical Atrocities and Misconceptions01:08:44 Conclusion and Final Thoughts----------

Nelle ore scorse si sono tenute le celebrazioni per la Festa dell'Indipendenza dell'Ucraina, per commemorare la dichiarazione di indipendenza dall'Unione Sovietica nel 1991.

In this urgent bonus episode, Ray Powell and Jim Carouso return to discuss the sharp re-escalation at Second Thomas Shoal in the South China Sea following the highly publicized Chinese naval collision at Scarborough Shoal on August 11, 2025. Drawing from satellite imagery, open-source information, and media reports, they analyze China's deployment of an armed maritime “swarm” near the BRP Sierra Madre, including coast guard cutters, maritime militia vessels, and rigid-hulled inflatable boats (RHIBs) equipped with mounted weapons.China's Escalation and Swarming TacticsRay details how, just a day after the collision, China shifted significant assets from Mischief Reef to Second Thomas Shoal, amassing a force that now includes coast guard ships, maritime militia vessels, and armed RHIBs maneuvering alarmingly close to the Philippine military outpost. This “swarming” not only serves as a physical blockade but also as psychological intimidation through water cannon drills and propaganda operations.Historical and Strategic ContextThe BRP Sierra Madre has symbolized Philippine sovereignty at the shoal since being deliberately grounded in 1999, which lies within the Philippine Exclusive Economic Zone. Despite China's extensive militarization of neighboring Mischief Reef and other features, they have yet to dislodge this single ship—a continuous thorn in Beijing's nine-dash line claims and a longtime flashpoint for maritime confrontation.Provocation, Deterrence, and International ImplicationsJim and Ray explore the strategic calculus behind China's move, interpreting it as a probe aimed at provoking a Philippine misstep to justify more forceful measures, such as seizure or siege of the outpost. Philippine forces remain strictly instructed to exercise restraint, aware of the potentially explosive consequences. The episode places these events within a broader geopolitical framework, including rising tensions in U.S.-Taiwan relations, the recent Trump-Putin summit in Anchorage, and emerging uncertainties in U.S. alliances across Asia.What's Next: Risks and ResponsesThe hosts weigh the possibility of China demanding new concessions to allow future Philippine resupply missions, emphasizing that a full siege would be catastrophic and globally indefensible. Given the rusted state of the Sierra Madre and its irreplaceable symbolic value, any disruption to resupply could be a tipping point. They also assess the credibility of U.S. treaty commitments and freedom of navigation operations as signals of deterrence or escalation.Anecdote on Summit DiplomacyOn a lighter note, Ray offers a “there I was” story from President Obama's 2016 visit to Vietnam, where a meticulously planned official lunch was upended for an impromptu meal with Anthony Bourdain, which became the headline for the visit.Why Listen?A definitive update and expert analysis on the mounting crisis in the South China Sea, China's maritime gray-zone tactics and their implications for Philippine sovereignty, and Indo-Pacific alliances and security dynamics.

Edition No226 | 18-08-2025 - Oil and Omissions: the Alaska Summit and the Business of War. The curtain has dropped on the Alaska summit, but the analysis goes on – especially as there's a sequel, in the meeting of Zelenskyy and European leaders with Trump in Washington today. But is it oil that greased the wheels of the Alaska summit, and not peace. But like it's oil that is greasing the gears of war, but perpetuating the Kremlin's war machine? We dive into oil deals, Kremlin ploys, and why this summit's headline theme of peace may have in fact been a smokescreen for the real agenda – cut deals with Putin, agreed to lift sanctions, and push Ukraine into a disadvantageous and dangerous peace as quickly as possible. Could it be that both Trump and Putin need to rehabilitate the Russian regime as quickly as possible to get the black gold flowing as quickly as possible, as well as the dollars? War Rages in Kharkiv While the Alaska Summit Glitters with a false promise of fool's gold. The noise of the summit had barely cooled, and already Kharkiv was aflame.

He Didn't Snap—He Planned It: Bryan Kohberger's Chilling Escalation Before the Idaho Murders Everyone wants to believe that mass killers just “snap.” That something short-circuits and pushes them to kill. But what if that's not true at all? What if Bryan Kohberger didn't explode—but evolved? In this gripping first installment of a four-part deep dive, Tony Brueski sits down with psychotherapist and author of The Minds of Mass Killers, Shavaun Scott, to break down the pre-crime behavior revealed in the newly unsealed documents in the Kohberger case. And what we learn is disturbing. According to investigators, Kohberger allegedly visited the King Road home more than 20 times in the weeks leading up to the murders. He didn't just happen upon it. He stalked it. Cell tower pings, video surveillance, late-night drives. He may have even entered the home before the murders—walking its floors, studying its layout, preparing. So how does someone get there? From criminology student to killer? Shavaun Scott walks us through the psychology of escalation. We unpack how his reported fixation with control, the alleged trophy collection of women's ID cards, and his disturbing use of police scanner websites all fit into a pattern—not of impulse, but of obsession. Was the 2021 Pullman break-in part of his evolution? Was he rehearsing? Could law enforcement have seen this coming? Could anyone? This is the episode that sets the foundation. Because once you understand the beginning, the ending becomes even more chilling.
