Although NATO has survived - and even thrived - for over 75 years, its future looks more uncertain now than at perhaps any other time. The Alliance confronts not only a resurgent Russia, but serious questions over the US commitment to European security and the ability of European Allies to fill the gap a US withdrawal from Europe would leave. To discuss these and many other issues surrounding NATO's role in European security, Dr. Rick Landgraf joins host Bob Hamilton on Chain Reaction. A retired US Army Lieutenant Colonel with extensive scholarly and policy experience on NATO, Rick is also the host of a recent FPRI podcast series on the Alliance.Explore FPRI's special project: The Ties That Bind | NATO at 75 and Beyond This episode was recorded on February 28, 2025.

Hawk recorded this episode approximately 36 hours after Donald Trump was declared the winner of the 2024 presidential election, defeating Kamala Harris (who had taken over the Democratic nomination from Joe Biden). Hawk begins by sharing an editorial from Le Monde, which characterizes Trump's reelection as "the end of an American era" and warns of severe global consequences, particularly for European security and democratic institutions worldwide.He discusses various aspects of the election results, including the significant drop in Democratic voter turnout compared to 2020 (13 million fewer voters), Trump's gains in 48 out of 50 states, and the ineffectiveness of Harris's well-run campaign despite knocking on three million doors in swing states. The host covers multiple reactions from political figures and analysts, including Bernie Sanders' criticism of Democrats for abandoning the working class, and concerns about Trump's promises to pursue mass deportations, pardon January 6th rioters, and use the military against political opponents.Throughout the episode, Hawk expresses deep concern about the implications of Trump's victory, citing various indicators of potential authoritarian governance to come. He notes that California's governor Gavin Newsom is already preparing to counter potential Republican actions, and shares worrying quotes from Trump allies about plans for retribution against political opponents. He concludes the episode on an emotional note, expressing exhaustion with the continuous struggle for civil rights and democratic values, while promising to continue his work despite the election outcome.

China. Korea. Russia. Iran. Israel. Ukraine. These are more than just the names of countries. Each one represents a significant threat to the world order that took shape after World War II. That order survived the Cold War, armed conflicts in Korea and Vietnam, and seventy years of conflict in the Middle East – among other challenges. On February 24th, Two Thousand Twenty-Two, Russia invaded Ukraine. On October 7, Two Thousand Twenty-Three, Hamas invaded Israel. What will happen in Two Thousand Twenty-Four? Will China invade Taiwan? Will Iran finally obtain Nuclear Weapons? Will the United States and its European Allies find themselves involved in a four-part international conflict? On February 24th, Two Thousand Twenty-Two, Russia invaded Ukraine. On October 7, Two Thousand Twenty-Three, Hamas invaded Israel. What will happen in Two Thousand Twenty-Four? Will China invade Taiwan? Will Iran finally obtain Nuclear Weapons? Will the United States and its European Allies find themselves involved in a four-part international conflict? Unfortunately, that same spirit is becoming increasingly popular across the land. Many Christians are taking part in it, under the misconception that believing in a poorly defined and elusive “peace” can make it happen. They find their hopes in the tired phrase “Give peace a chance,” that they inherited from the sixties. Such an attitude is massively erroneous. To ignore the world situation because of fear would be a mistake equal to that made by Neville Chamberlain at Munich in 1938. We must remain alert and ready to support the cause of Western Christian Civilization. Thank you for listening.

In this episode of his "Thinking Out Loud" series, Double D uses a memorandum from the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, coupled with other sources, to examine the nature and breadth of U.S. technological and cultural hegemony and how this hegemony relates to the American Empire as a whole.Jumping in to the video, Double D recaps some of the discussion from the previous two episodes, before starting an analysis of the Plaza Accords and the Fairchild Agreement. Citing an article from Los Angeles Times, printed in 1987, he outlines how Japan was outcompeting the United States semi-conductor and microchip companies. A realization that lead U.S. corporations, in conjunction with the Defense Department and the Intelligence Community, to hobble Japanese financial markets as well as their high-tech industries; forcing them to open up their markets to U.S. industrial competition as well as financial speculation.Double D also outlines the various other ways the United States engages in protectionism. He insists that the "free-market" is an egregious lie, and shows how increasingly U.S. tech firms amount to nothing more than financialized conglomerates. Using Apple as an example, he explains how Apple does not manufacture products, provide research and development, or ship their own products; rather third party corporations do all the productive work, while Apple Corporation receives "rent" on their intellectual property.Double D goes on to explain how the same scheme used to hobble Japanese competition is being weaponized once again in the ongoing trade war with China. He highlights the recent barring or condemnation of Chinese firms such as Huawei or TikTok. He scoffs at rhetoric around this trade war, where the U.S. claims "the protection of democracy" or ensuring "national security" around these bans, noting that the situation really constitutes protectionism for American corporations which are increasingly no longer innovative or competitive on the global stage. He points out that this "high-tech economic war" has higher stakes for the U.S. Empire beyond controlling global markets, acknowledging that much of the recent "Chip War" rests on the fact that U.S. military hegemony is rooted in having access to cheap microchips as well as other tech commodities which are essential for military hardware and AI.Moving on, Double D attempts to provide some analysis which shows the conjunction between U.S. technological hegemony and its global surveillance state; noting the ties between the Intelligence Community and Tech Giants such as Twitter, Facebook, and Google. He goes on to outline the history of the U.S. surveillance state, noting the revelations brought about by Edward Snowden, as well as recent leaks which show that the United States has been spying on its European Allies, including French Presidents and Chancellor Angela Merkel.Ending the discussion on technological hegemony, Double D begins to analyze cultural hegemony. He begins by describing the "culture industrial complex." That is the relationships between Hollywood, Mass Media, the Intelligence Community, and the political class; and how this industrial complex is used to instill "cultural hegemony." Next he plays a brief video outlining Antonio Gramsci's theory of cultural hegemony, which explains how the dominant ideology of the ruling class is trickled through stories and images to become a "common-sense", that the majority of people will never question. Double D relates this to U.S. political culture as well, explaining how the same process, the same "spectacle" is played out via mass media. He ends the video by playing a brief explainer-visualizer that outline the principles of Noam Chomsky's "Manufacturing Consent", which shows on the mass media corporations act as a filter through which all political discourse must be sieved.Don't forget to like, subscribe, and comment; together we can beat the algorithm

Devotional-Guest Speaker Sis Cleomie speaks on: –What practical steps can the Bride of Christ adopt in order to be ready for the Lord's return?
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.

The Russian invasion in Ukraine has bogged down, forcing President Vladimir Putin to wrestle with a series of questions about how to continue the invasion. The United States and its European Allies have pledged open-ended military support for Ukraine, allowing President Zelensky to replace equipment, and retain critical capabilities to defend the country. To discuss the latest developments in the war, Rob Lee, FPRI Senior Fellow, and Michael Kofman, Research Program Director in the Russia Studies Program at CNA, join moderator Aaron Stein. This discussion was recorded live on Zoom on May 12, 2022.
President Biden is in Belgium for talks with NATO, G7 allies; Western countries to send more military, humanitarian aid to Ukraine; Moscow's stock market reopens, in what the White House calls a “charade” - March 24, 2022
As President Joe Biden heads to Europe to bolster the Western alliance in the face of Russian aggression in Ukraine, CFR experts discuss the response by the United States and its allies to the crisis and what lies ahead.
The U.S. and European allies have done as much as they can to support Ukraine except for getting their militaries involved. The challenge is not engaging in fighting with Russia for fear it could spur WW3. Military analysts think that the risk of use of nuclear weapons is low, but it's not a chance anyone wants to take. Stephen Fidler, bureau chief at large for the WSJ, joins us for how the West continues to help without getting directly involved in fighting. Next, a sad follow up to a story that was a medical first. David Bennett, the first patient ever to receive an animal organ genetically modified to prevent rejection in a person, has died. He died two months after being implanted with a pig heart. The heart was working fine for weeks, but Bennett's health deteriorated in the last few days. Karen Weintraub, health reporter at USA Today, joins us for what we know. Finally, Disney has been hearing from upset fans angry about the high cost of tickets and fees for line-cutting apps that used to be free. Pent up demand is sending people to both Disney World and Disneyland in droves, but many increasingly feel that fun trips are out of reach without some serious investment. Hannah Sampson, travel reporter at The Washington Post, joins us for more. Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com

The US House of Representatives passed a bill on September 23 with an amendment - introduced by Representative Dina Titus - that requires the secretary of state to submit a report assessing whether Turkey's Grey Wolves — a far-right militant group — meet the criteria to be designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. If the Senate also passes this legislation, then the US would join allies like France, Germany, Italy and Austria in targeting the Grey Wolves, which is linked to the MHP, Turkish President Erdogan's far-right coalition partners. Dr. Aykan Erdemir, joins us to talk about the Grey Wolves and this latest legislation in the US Congress.

The White House has announced they support suspending the intellectual property rights on COVID-19 vaccine in order to increase vaccine production. This has surprised European Allies including Germany that have said they wouldn't like to cross that line. Other opponents say it won't help because ramping up production of vaccines is not based solely on the recipe but the raw materials available and the production facility capabilities. FOX's Trey Yingst speaks with Craig Singleton, of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, about the announcement and what it may mean to vaccine production and the companies that developed their own.

Nord Stream 2 is exacerbating the split between the United States and its European Allies. Across the Mediterranean Laurent Gbagbo is acquitted of crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court (ICC). Les Munson, Jamil Jaffer, Loren Dealy Mahler, and Andrew Borene discuss how the U.S. should push back against the Russians in Europe and how Americans should think about the ICC. In our under the radar segment, Les highlights the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam raising tensions along the Nile, Loren explores the legislative twists and turns of this year’s NDAA, Jamil discusses the tit-for-tat consulate closures in Chengdu and Houston, and Andrew discusses how rebalancing special operations forces and potentially elevating the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict to full Under Secretary will impact great power competition. Can the United States stop Nord Stream 2 at this point? Is the ICC an international institution worth protecting? Will the long-view of foreign policy return in a post-Trump America?

In The New Battle for the Atlantic: Emerging Naval Competition with Russia in the Far North (Naval Institute Press, 2019), Magnus Nordenman explores the emerging competition between the United States and its NATO allies and the resurgent Russian navy in the North Atlantic. This maritime region played a key role in the two world wars and the Cold War, serving as the strategic link between the United States and Europe that enabled the flow of reinforcements and supplies to the European Allies. Nordenman shows that while a conflict in Europe has never been won in the North Atlantic, it surely could have been lost there. With Vladimir Putin’s Russia threatening the peace in Europe following the annexation of Crimea in 2014, the North Atlantic and other maritime domains around Europe are once again vitally important. But this battle will in many ways be different, Nordenman demonstrates, due to an overstretched U.S. Navy, the rise of disruptive technologies, a beleaguered NATO that woke up to the Russian challenge unprepared for high-end warfighting in the maritime domain, and a Russia commanding a smaller, but more sophisticated, navy equipped with long-range cruise missiles. Nordenman also provides a set of recommendations for what the United States and NATO must do now in order to secure the North Atlantic in this new age of great power competition.

Isaiah 28: 5-6: In that day shall the Lord of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, to the residue of His people. And for a spirit of judgment to him that sits in judgment and for strength to them that turn the battle at the gate. November 11, 1918 was the end of World War I. Woodrow Wilson made this proclamation on November 11, 1919: “A year ago today our enemies laid down their arms in accordance with an armistice which rendered them impotent to renew hostilities, and gave to the world an assured opportunity to reconstruct its shattered order and to work out in peace a new and just set of international relations. The soldiers and people of the European Allies had fought and endured for more than four years to uphold the barrier of civilization against the aggressions of armed force. We ourselves had been in the conflict something more than a year and a half. With splendid forgetfulness of mere personal concerns, we remodeled our industries, concentrated our financial resources, increased our agricultural output, and assembled a great army, so that at the last our power was a decisive factor in the victory. We were able to bring the vast resources, material and moral, of a great and free people to the assistance of our associates in Europe who had suffered and sacrificed without limit in the cause for which we fought.

Many in the political class are missing the point about NATO. The very countries that claim to value our support against enemies are working with those enemies to sabotage America and self-immolate while sticking us with the tab. Today, for foreign policy Friday, we are joined by CR’s national security correspondent, Jordan Schachtel, to discuss the latest on Trump’s visit to Europe. Jordan gives us the full perspective on Germany’s perfidy with Russia and the problems with Turkey in NATO. We also discuss the opportunities to use a carrot-and-stick approach with the new Mexican president and the need to reorient our priorities, alliances, and focus on national security.

Felicitaciones en el Día del Veterano http://www.ajterapia.com 0103 AjiTerapia 11 Nov 2016 | Valor Miedo Batalla | Día de la Recordación | Día de los Veteranos | Amnistía | Puerto Rico | ASPIRA | Carta de Derechos del Veterano Puertorriqueño http://www.ajiterapia.com Día del Veterano y Puertorriqueñidad Del latino Veterānus nos llega al español como veterano. Un veterano es un soldado que se ha retirado. En Estados Unidos, el Día del Veterano es el 11 de noviembre . Un día festivo nacional en el que la población rinde homenaje a aquellos que han servido en las Fuerzas Armadas de los Estados Unidos. La distinciones entre Día del Veterano, Día de Recordación y Amnistía La primera es la celebración del servicio de todos los militares. La segunda honra los que perdieron su vida mientras servían en las Fuerzas Armadas. El tercero, fue el nombre original desde el final de la primera Guerra Mundial con la Amnistía del 11 de noviembre de 1918. Historia El 11 de noviembre de 1919, el Presidente Woodrow Wilson dio un discurso al pueblo estadounidense en el primer dia de la Amnistía. "Hoy hace un año que nuestros enemigos bajaron sus armas de acuerdo con la amnistía que los hizo impotentes para retomar las hostilidades. Esto le dio al mundo una oportunidad segura para reconstruir y restablecer el orden y poder trabajar en paz un nuevo y más justo acuerdo de relaciones internacionales. Los soldados y gente de los aliados Europeos, han peleado y sufrido por más de cuatro (4) años para mantener la barrera de civilización ante la agresión de fuerzas armadas. Nosotros mismos hemos estado en el conflicto algo más de año y medio (1.5) con excelencia capacidad de poder olvidar las preocupaciones personales, remodelamos nuestras industrias, concentramos nuestros recursos económicos, aumentamos la producción agrícola y montamos unas fuerzas armadas de excelencia. Nuestro poder, al final, fue un factor decisivo en la victoria. Pudimos traer vastos recursos, materiales y morales, de una gran nación de gente libre, para asistir a nuestros asociados Europeos que habían sufrido y hecho sacrificios sin límite en la causa por la que luchamos. De esta victoria, se levantan nuevas posibilidades para libertad política y acuerdos económicos. La guerra nos enseñó el poder de las grandes naciones actuando al unísono por altos propósitos. . The victory of arms nos presenta las duraderas conquistas que se pueden lograr en paz cuando las naciones actúan con justicia y en pos de los intereses comunes de los pueblos. Para nosotros en América, la refleccion del Dia de la Amnistía estará lleno de orgullo solemne del heroísmo de los que murieron en el servicio de su país y con gratitud por la victoria por dos razones; por liberarnos de de tanto y por la oportunidad que nos ha dado a América para mostrar su simpatía con paz y justicia en el conjunto de naciones" Woodrow Wilson Versión original en inglés "A year ago today our enemies laid down their arms in accordance with an armistice which rendered them impotent to renew hostilities, and gave to the world an assured opportunity to reconstruct its shattered order and to work out in peace a new and juster set of international relations. The soldiers and people of the European Allies had fought and endured for more than four years to uphold the barrier of civilization against the aggressions of armed force. We ourselves had been in the conflict something more than a year and a half. - With splendid forgetfulness of mere personal concerns, we remodeled our industries, concentrated our financial resources, increased our agricultural output, and assembled a great army, so that at the last our power was a decisive factor in the victory. We were able to bring the vast resources, material and moral, of a great and free people to the assistance of our associates in Europe who had suffered and sacrificed without limit in the cause for which we fought. Out of this victory there arose new possibilities of political freedom and economic concert. The war showed us the strength of great nations acting together for high purposes, and the victory of arms foretells the enduring conquests which can be made in peace when nations act justly and in furtherance of the common interests of men. To us in America the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with - solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service, and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of nations. WOODROW WILSON." Día de la Amnistía El Congreso adoptó una resolución un 4 de Junio de 1926, pidiendo que el Presidente Calvin Coolidge creara una proclama para la observación de la Amnistía un 11 de noviembre. El Acta Congressional Act (52 Stat. 351; 5 U.S. Code, Sec. 87a) se aprobó el 13 de mayo de 1938. En 1945, el veterano de la Primera Guerra Mundial, Raymond Weeks de Birmingham, Alabama, impulsó el extender la amnistía para incluir veteranos de otras guerras. Weeks movió una delegación ante el Gen. Dwight Eisenhower, quien estaba a favor de la celebración del Día del Veterano. Weeks celebró tal evento en Alabama desde el 1947 hasta 1985. Weeks es reconocido como el Padre del Día de los Veteranos. Se cambió Amnistía por Veterano convirtiéndose en ley el 26 de mayo de 1954, conociéndose como El Día del Veterano desde entonces. Si serviste en un conflicto bélico, puedes estar sufriendo de consecuencias físicas y emocionales, conocido como síndrome postraumático de los veteranos de guerra. Cuando heridos, ese golpe de verse física y/o mentalmente lisiados de un día para el otro, resulta especialmente duro. Los Síntomas * apatía, mutismo y autoaislamiento social * conflictos emocionales * derrotismo * pérdida de sueño * irritabilidad * pérdida de concentración * trastorno bipolar * desvalorización personal ¿Dejó sus sueños para servir en el ejército y no encuentra cómo retomarlos?
