PREVIEW: WAR CRIMES: FIREBOMBING: Professor Gary Bass, author of "Judgment at Tokyo," discusses George Kennan's post-surrender analysis of Japan: that the country should be restored as an Asian power and U.S. ally, largely because Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalists in China were proving unreliable in their civil war against Soviet-backed Maoist forces.

Eric and Eliot host James Graham Wilson, an historian in the Department of State's Historian's Office to discuss his new book America's Cold Warrior: Paul Nitze and National Security From Roosevelt to Reagan. They discuss Nitze's background as an America First supporter between the wars, his anti-Semitism and his family's connection to the Black Tom sabotage incident during World War I. They talk about his pioneering work as a national security professional on the Strategic bombing survey during and after World War II as well as his role in drafting NSC 68 during the Truman Administration, his vexed personal relations with George Kennan (who he succeeded as Director of Policy Planning at State), Henry Kissinger, and Robert McNamara. His relentless focus on the strategic nuclear balance and the character traits that perhaps kept him from ever becoming the Cabinet Officer he longed to become while nonetheless serving and influencing national security policy for more than 40 years. They close noting that his concerns about nuclear self-deterrence seem eerily relevant in today's circumstances of great power competition. https://a.co/d/5thvl34 Shield of the Republic is a Bulwark podcast co-sponsored by the Miller Center of Public Affairs at the University of Virginia.
Die Verwirrung in den Köpfen der Washingtoner Machtelite ist nicht verwunderlich.Ein Kommentar von Rainer Rupp.Weil die US-Führungseliten sich weigern, die Ursachen der fundamentalen Verschiebung der globalen Kräfte zuungunsten des Westens wahrzunehmen, verstehen sie auch nicht, warum sie die Veränderungen nicht nach ihrem Willen steuern können, erklärte jüngst der international geschätzte Ökonom, Professor Richard Wolff.(1) Um dennoch ihre vermeintlichen Feinde abzuschrecken, fuchteln sie zunehmend nur noch symbolisch aber dafür unkontrolliert in der Luft herum, denn inzwischen mangelt es Washington auch an der materiellen Basis, um sich durchzusetzen.Zum besseren Verständnis der Situation schlägt der Professor in einem Gespräch auf der YouTube-Seite "Dialogue Works"(2) vor, sich in die Denkweise von Leuten wie US-Außenminister Antony Blinken, Präsident Joe Bidens Nationalem Sicherheitsberater Jake Sullivan oder anderen Top-Entscheidern in Washington zu versetzen, die z. B. entsetzt feststellen müssen, dass die Rolle des US-Präsidenten für den Großteil der Welt "nicht mehr besonders relevant ist". Die Beispiele dafür reichen in der Tat von den Huthis im Jemen über Afghanistan und Saudi-Arabien bis zu den BRICS-Ländern und -Anwärtern. Der erhobene Fingerzeig aus Washington wird immer weniger befolgt, bzw. zunehmend ignoriert.Die aktuelle US-Machtelite wuchs in den Vereinigten Staaten zu einer Zeit auf, in der die USA den größten Teil der Welt dominierte und dabei die alten Kolonialmächte in Europa – Großbritannien, Frankreich, Deutschland, Italien und einige andere wie die Niederlande – fest als Vasallen an seiner Seite wusste. Der einzige Feind der USA war ein Land, das sie nicht unterwerfen konnten, nämlich Russland, ab 1917 dann die Sowjetunion und ab 1991 wieder Russland.In der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts wurden die USA noch dominanter. Wenn sie sich Sorgen wegen der Sowjetunion machten, dann war das weniger eine politische oder wirtschaftliche, sondern hauptsächlich eine militärische Herausforderung. Die wurde jedoch durch die Politik der Eindämmung unter Kontrolle gehalten, die mit George Kennan, dem Vater des Kalten Kriegs, in den 1950er-Jahren begonnen hatte und für den größten Teil der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts bestehen blieb. Zugleich wuchs die Dominanz der USA in allen Bereichen weiter. Selbst die wirtschaftliche Revolution in China, die in den 1980er-Jahren begann, schien aus Washingtoner Sicht die US-Dominanz im Indopazifik nicht zu schmälern.Allerdings gab es auch schon damals einige besorgniserregende Entwicklungen wie den verlorenen Krieg in Vietnam. Dies war ein Schock, der die Machtelite in Washington beunruhigte, weshalb sie ihr Militär noch stärker aufbaute...... hier weiterlesen: https://apolut.net/die-verwirrung-in-washington-von-rainer-rupp+++Bildquelle: Gannvector / Shutterstock.com+++Ihnen gefällt unser Programm?

David Blankenhorn is an author, an activist, a community organizer, and the co-founder and President of Braver Angels. During our conversation, David talks about polarization in the United States, the workshops that Braver Angels puts together to bring together politically opposed Americans for conversation and common ground, the threat of division to the future of the country, the receding of a "civil religion" in the U.S., the importance of approaching disagreements with a sense of goodwill, and having hope in this dark time.------------Book a meeting with Dan------------Keep Talking SubstackRate on SpotifyRate on Apple PodcastsSocial media and all episodes------------Support via VenmoSupport on SubstackSupport on Patreon------------00:00 Intro00:37 The state of civic friendship in America04:27 The growth of Braver Angels11:22 What motivates Braver Angels' members?16:46 The work and mission of Braver Angels23:29 We're less polarized than we've been told27:34 Who is benefiting from social division?33:12 Habits to maintain one's humanity40:23 Politics replacing civic virtues in modern times49:37 George Kennan's threat of internal division55:34 The example of Daryl Davis

How To Think About Revenge 2024. Trump well above the fray, prefers "success" over settling scores. Gentle Dr. Phil agrees. But Bannon not so much, goes hard against Deep State "Gestapo." Confirmed FBI liar McCabe plays victim on CNN. Observing the guilty conscience of the Ruling Class, hands too long in the cookie jar. It's on them. Shakespeare on how "the whirligig of time brings in his revenges." The wisdom of George Kennan on how to deal with raging communists. Wyatt Earp v. Ike Clanton. Call it accountability? Call it justice? Meanwhile, a Las Vegas crowd sings Happy Birthday to Trump. Billionaire David Sacks endorses Trump in a very thoughtful essay. Plus, the Washington Post suddenly realizes it's lost half its readership. Hard times for Deep State stenography. With Great Listener Calls.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The American diplomat George Kennan was the architect of the Cold War "containment" policy toward the Soviet Union. Writing in the late 1940s, Kennan viewed the USSR as a hostile expansionist enemy, but one that would be willing to compromise if checked by the United States. Containment did not mean the U.S. could or should militarily crush the Soviets. Can Kennan's ideas be applied to Vladimir Putin's Russia? In this episode, historians Michael Kimmage and Frank Costigliola discuss the enduring influence of Kennan's ideas on American policy-makers.

„Základom kremeľského neurotického prístupu k svetovým udalostiam je ruský tradičný inštinktívny pocit neistoty.“ Tieto slová Georga Kennana, amerického diplomata, znalca ruských pomerov a popredného člena americkej diplomatickej misie v Sovietskom zväze v kľúčových rokoch 1944 až 1946, sú tak trochu psychologickou diagnostikou. Tá je zároveň súčasťou tzv. Dlhého telegramu, ktorý Kennan adresoval predstaviteľom americkej administratívy. Zahraničná politika Spojených štátov sa krátko po 2. svetovej vojne potácala pri zmätených úvahách o tom, ako utlmiť podozrievavosť niekdajšieho spojenca na východe a kam vlastne ustúpiť, aby bolo možné upokojiť paranoidnú myseľ sovietskeho vodcu Josifa Stalina. Nebol to však len George Kennan, ale aj niekdajší britský vojnový premiér Winston Churchill a mnohí ďalší, ktorí upozorňovali, že reakciou predsa nemôže byť politika ústupkov, ale naopak jedine asertívny a odvážny prístup, ktorý voči vonkajšej hrozbe nasadí rovnako silovú odpoveď. Keď pred 75 rokmi, 4. apríla 1949 ministri zahraničných vecí 12 zakladajúcich štátov Severoatlantickej aliancie podpisovali Washingtonskú zmluvu, Európa i svet sa nachádzali už v inom politickom ovzduší. Eufória z víťazstva nad nacizmom pominula a čoraz hmatateľnejšie bolo možné sledovať narastajúci prízrak komunizmu, ktorý medzičasom ovládol strednú Európu, vrátane Československa. Ako sa teda rodilo NATO? A vari ešte dôležitejšou otázkou je, prečo táto obranná aliancia vôbec vznikla? A je diagnostika, ktorú v roku 1946 vyslovil George Kennan nečakane aktuálna aj dnes?

(Bonus) The Truman Doctrine is an American foreign policy that pledges American "support for democracies against authoritarian threats."[1] The doctrine originated with the primary goal of countering the growth of the Soviet bloc during the Cold War. It was announced to Congress by President Harry S. Truman on March 12, 1947,[2] and further developed on July 4, 1948, when he pledged to oppose the communist rebellions in Greece and Soviet demands from Turkey. More generally, the Truman Doctrine implied American support for other nations threatened by Moscow. It led to the formation of NATO in 1949. Historians often use Truman's speech to Congress on March 12, 1947 to date the start of the Cold War. Truman told Congress that "it must be the policy of the United States to support free peoples who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressures."[4] Truman contended that because totalitarian regimes coerced free peoples, they automatically represented a threat to international peace and the national security of the United States. Truman argued that if Greece and Turkey did not receive the aid, they would inevitably fall out of the United States sphere of influence and into the communist bloc with grave consequences throughout the region. The Truman Doctrine was informally extended to become the basis of American Cold War policy throughout Europe and around the world.[5] It shifted U.S. policy toward the Soviet Union from a wartime alliance to containment of Soviet expansion, as advocated by diplomat George Kennan. It was distinguished from rollback by implicitly tolerating the previous Soviet takeovers in Eastern Europe.
It's perhaps one of history's funny accidents that relations between the U.S. and Russia were changed not by one, but two, George Kennans. Decades before George F. Kennan wrote his famous Long Telegram that set the tone for the Cold War, his predecessor was exploring Russia's Far East on a quest to investigate the then-Russian Empire's practice of exiling political prisoners to Siberia. What Kennan saw on his journey shook him to his very core, forcing him to question his respect for the Russian Empire. And as writer Gregory Wallance explains in his book Into Siberia: George Kennan's Epic Journey Through the Brutal, Frozen Heart of Russia (St. Martin's Press, 2023), Kennan's advocacy upon his return turned U.S. views from Russia away from being a faraway friend to something far more skeptical. Gregory Wallance is a lawyer and writer in New York City. He is the author of Papa's Game (Ballantine Books: 1982) which received a nonfiction nomination for an Edgar Allan Poe Award; America's Soul In the Balance: The Holocaust, FDR's State Department, And The Moral Disgrace Of An American Aristocracy (Greenleaf Book Group: 2012), The Woman Who Fought an Empire: Sarah Aaronsohn and Her Nili Spy Ring (Potomac Books: 2018), and the historical novel Two Men Before the Storm: Arba Crane's Recollection of Dred Scott And the Supreme Court Case That Started the Civil War (Greenleaf Book Group: 2015). He is currently an opinion contributor for The Hill. Today, Gregory and I talk about Kennan, his many trips to Siberia, and the effect his journalism had on American views of Russia.

Hello Fully Automated listeners! This is a rebroadcast of Episode 7 of Class Unity: Transmissions, as posted here. Transmissions is the official podcast of Class Unity, and I want to thank them for their permission to use this episode. You can find out more about Class Unity over at https://classunity.org/ For those curious, there will be more independent ‘Fully Automated' content coming soon. But I will continue to repost those ‘Transmissions' episodes in which I am involved, as I think they will be of interest to listeners of this show, too. Welcome to Episode 7 of Class Unity “Transmissions.” In this episode we are joined by Doug Lain, Commissioning Editor at Sublation Media. Lain is a real veteran of the left podcast scene. From his old philosophy podcast "Diet Soap,” which ran from 2009 through 2014, to his work as host of the Zero Books podcast, Zero Squared, Lain's impact as a formative voice on the contemporary socialist left cannot be understated. In this show we cover a wide range of topics, including Lain's recent ban from Elon Musk's newly “pro-free speech” Twitter (for a joke about RFK Jnr). However, the real purpose of the interview is to revisit an old Tweet of his, from April this year. On April 15, Lain posted three priorities that, he said, “an independent left” should be focused on right now: Ending the conflict in Ukraine by opposing the very dangerous continuing escalation; Protecting the working class from the consequences from the continuing financial and fiscal crisis that has been expressed through inflation and the banking crisis; Opposing the war on disinformation and the expansion of the security state into the “whole of society.” In recent months, Lain has been particularly strident on the first and the third of these priorities. However, his arguments have not been especially well received (his recent encounter with the Majority Report's Matt Binder offers a fairly representative example of the disdain many progressives have for Lain's views). Noting the vehemence of this response, we were curious. And so we decided to invite Lain for a chat. We start by asking Lain what he means by the phrase “an independent left”? We then move onto the first of his priorities, the war in Ukraine. The US left has been strangely quiet on this conflict. Where it has addressed the issue, it has usually been in handwaving fashion, arguing that it is a case of “imperialism on both sides.” We put it to Lain that this is kind of an inversion of Trump's infamous “very fine people on both sides” comment. Perhaps the imperialism on both sides argument had some empirical application in the lead up to World War I. But Russia has a GDP close to that of Italy. Equally, US foreign policy insiders like Former Ambassador to USSR Jack Matlock, George Kennan, William Burns have warned DC policymakers for decades about eastwards NATO expansion, saying in no uncertain terms that Ukraine would be the hardest of red lines for Russia. Moreover, now, as Lev Golonkin reports in The Nation in June, the US is openly funding and arming the Ukrainian military despite the presence in its ranks of openly fascist regiments. It seems clear therefore not only who started this war, and why, but that its moral costs and risks for future catastrophe are unacceptable. So why is the left so adamant in its avoidance of this topic? Lain's second priority is protecting the working class from the continuing financial and fiscal crisis. Lain argues “there was never any chance to transform the democratic party into a vehicle for socialism.” But where does that now leave us, on the question of socialist strategy? Does he think the Bernie wave is over, and the left is now basically done with parliamentary politics for another couple of generations? As he surveys the landscape of the contemporary left, what hope does he see for a revolutionary politics? The third topic for Lain essentially stems from his commitment t...

George Kennan was a man of contradictions: an icon yet something of an enigma, a strategist who “used emotionally evocative language in the name of cool, calculated realism,” a bold thinker who warned of overreach. Frank Costigliola puts the architect of Cold War containment in a larger context in his new book, Kennan: A Life between Worlds (https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691165400/kennan). He joins host Richard Aldous to discuss our continuing fascination with this public intellectual par excellence.

What does war and violence abroad do to politics at home? Why were early Cold War intellectuals obsessed with who "lost China?" And what did the realists of the 1940s and 1950s believe about not just the limits of American power but how US hegemony might be the road to fascism in America? John Delury sits down with Van to discuss all that and more as part of his new book, Agents of Subversion: The Fate of John T. Downey and the CIA's Covert War in China.

Thompson has long been a competitive runner; in 2021, he set the American record for men 45+ in the 50K race and is currently ranked as one of the top 10 masters marathoners in the world. Nick had a number of amazing insights during our conversation. Some of them include: “I try to do my best within all the limitations of how darn hard it is to be a good parent” (10:30). “In some ways, [being a CEO and being a parent] are the opposite” (10:50). “My job as a CEO is to try to drive the organization in the best direction based on our most important values” (10:50). “I'm driving things more as a CEO, and as a father I'm supporting more and trying to help them find their way” (11:30). “My job is to make the business as successful as possible, as innovative as possible, as future-proofed as possible, so that we can sustain that mission of the magazine that's existed since 1857” (13:35). “We are open to a much broader range of opinions than our peer publications” (15:40). “I'm trying to develop a new platform for conversations that will allow people… to increase empathy” (18:20). “You start with the assumption you're going to do the absolute best content. You're going to do the best content you're capable of, and then you build the business model around that. You don't do that the other way around” (31:35). “Journalism is not a profession for people who are economically motivated” (32:15). “I got into journalism kind of by accident… I fell into it” (33:40). “You can come to something thinking about the right things, and then propose a solution that doesn't actually make things better” (37:55). “I look at every piece of data on every story” (43:15). “There's a period in the process of the creation of a story that is sacred and should not be touched by the people who care about the analytics, and that is the process from when the story is assigned to when the words in the story are finished” (43:40). “Being a good editor requires being able to juggle a whole bunch of things at the same time” (45:30). “The adrenaline flow of being a CEO is very different than the adrenaline flow of being a writer or being an editor” (47:00). “I've always been hyper-curious, which is something that's good for a writer. I meet someone new and I'm curious about who they are and what they do” (48:40). “[As a CEO], you have to be curious about how everything in your business works because you have to master it” (49:20). “I'm learning a lot, but am I getting smarter?” (50:15). “Running gives me a connection to the outside world, to the natural world” (54:20). “The discipline it takes to be a good runner rubs off on the discipline it takes to do well at work” (55:00). “You learn lessons while you're running” (55:05). “[Running and playing the guitar] are the two things I do in my life that are the most meditative” (57:00). “Making sure you're balancing the needs of the moment with the needs of the future is one of the great challenges of being a CEO” (1:01:10).

A history of how the US military-industrial complex was created, with its deep links to Wall Street, following the National Security Council's top secret memo NSC 68: a blueprint for the first cold war. First cold war architect George Kennan wrote in 1987: "Were the Soviet Union to sink tomorrow under the waters of the ocean, the American military-industrial complex would have to go on, substantially unchanged, until some other adversary could be invented. Anything else would be an unacceptable shock to the American economy."

On this edition of Parallax Views, a previously unpublished conversation with John D. Wilsey, associate professor of church history at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, about his book God's Cold Warrior: The Life and Faith of John Foster Dulles. In past episodes, John Foster Dulles and his brother Allen Dulles have been discussed critically for their role in 20th century U.S. foreign policy. John Foster Dulles served as a Secretary of State and his brother Allen Dulles was a Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. Both were major figures in the Cold War and were crusaders against communism. Previous Parallax Views guests such as Andrew Bacevich, Greg Poulgrain, and, most notably, Stephen Kinzer, who wrote The Brothers: John Foster Dulles, Allen Dulles, and Their Secret World War: John Foster Dulles, Allen Dulles, and Their Secret World War, have all been extremely critical of the Dulles legacy. John D. Wilsey, although sharing many of those criticisms, was interested in examining John Foster Dulles from a different angle. Namely the role of Dulles' faith in his endeavors as a diplomat and Cold Warrior. Specifically, what was the influence of Protestant Christianity on John Foster Dulles? In this conversation we delve into the theological framework that informed the ways Dulles thoughts about diplomacy and his view that Soviet communism was an existential threat to the U.S. We delve into the ways in which diplomat George Kennan found Dulles' framework and the religious influence on it to be dangerous and Manichean in nature. We also look at the way in which Dulles believed that the Church would play an important role in the fight against Soviet communism. Other issues covered include moral law and Christianity, the early life of John Foster Dulles, Christian nationalism (a subject that Wilsey has written extensively on), the view of the Cold War as a Manichean battle between good and evil, the paradoxes and contradictions of Dulles' thought and diplomacy, Protestant liberalism, the Federal Council of Churches, WWII, the Cold War and the threat of nuclear annihilation, Dulles as product of his time, U.S. covert wars during the Cold War, comparing and contrasting Martin Luther King and John Foster Dulles (Wilsey devotes a whole chapter to this in his book American Exceptionalism and Civil Religion: Reassessing the History of an Idea), and much, much more. Those looking for a conversation about whether Dulles was right or wrong in his views may be disappointed by this conversation. Wilsey's book is ultimately a religious biography of Dulles rather than a critical look at his role in foreign policy. However, I believe it nonetheless sheds light on Dulles and his thinking regardless where one stands on his whether his influence on U.S. foreign policy was positive or negative.
https://youtu.be/YynHmjv1hmQ After America emerged as the undisputed leader of the West in 1945, however, the shocks, reversals, and humiliations at the hands of Stalin were greater than those that had caused Britain to declare war in 1939. America, however, chose a different course. Embracing the wisdom of George Kennan, America pursued a policy of containment and conscious avoidance of a Third World War. When Stalin trashed the Yalta agreement, terrorizing the peoples of Poland and Eastern Europe for whom Britain had gone to war, America was stunned and sickened but issued no ultimata. When Moscow blockaded Berlin in violation of Allied rights, Truman responded with an airlift, not armored divisions or atom bombs. When Stalin's agents carried out the Prague coup in 1948, Truman did not see in Czechoslovakia an issue that justified war, as Churchill had when the Czechs were forced to give up the Sudetenland. America's answer was NATO, drawing a red line across Europe that the West could defend, as Britain should have done in that March of 1939, instead of handing out the insane war guarantee to Poland. And where the British had failed to line up a Russian alliance before giving its war guarantee, America enlisted ten European allies before committing herself to defend West Germany. Unlike Churchill in the 1930s, American leaders of the late 1940s and 1950s believed that, while the fate of Poland and Czechoslovakia was tragic, both were beyond any U.S. vital interest. From 1949 to 1989, the American army never crossed the Yalta line. When East Germans rose in 1953 and Hungarians in 1956, Eisenhower declined to act. In 1959, Ike welcomed the “Butcher of Budapest” to Camp David. When Khrushchev built the Berlin Wall, Kennedy called up the reserves, then sent them home after a year. In the missile crisis of 1962, Kennedy cut a secret deal to take U.S. missiles out of Turkey for Khrushchev's taking Russian missiles out of Cuba. When the Prague Spring was crushed in 1968, LBJ did nothing. U.S. inaction was not due to cowardice but cold calculation as to what was worth risking war with a nuclear-armed Soviet Union and what was not worth risking war. When the Polish workers' movement, Solidarity, was crushed in 1981, Ronald Reagan denounced the repression but he neither broke diplomatic relations with Warsaw nor imposed economic sanctions. Eisenhower and Reagan were not Chamberlains, but neither were they Churchills. Who ruled in the capitals east of the Elbe was not to them a vital U.S. interest worth a war. – Patrick J.

The February 24th Russian invasion of Ukraine has rattled the world and has unleashed misery, death and destruction. What prompted Moscow's attack? From their perspective, the expansion of NATO, a U.S.-led military alliance, up to Russia's borders threatens their national security interests. It went against assurances given by Washington that that would not happen. Years ago, George Kennan, the much venerated State Department diplomat warned against NATO expansion. With great foresight he said, it “would be the most fateful error of American policy in the entire post-cold-war era. Such a decision may be expected to inflame the nationalistic, anti-Western and militaristic tendencies in Russian opinion; to have an adverse effect on the development of Russian democracy; to restore the atmosphere of the cold war to East-West relations, and to impel Russian foreign policy in directions decidedly not to our liking.”
