Podcasts about global power

For half a century, the Cold War defined global politics. Contested by two superpowers with opposing ideologies and interests, it touched nearly every part of the globe. It threatened nuclear war, and brought incalculable devastation to its battlefields – from Korea to Vietnam to Afghanistan and beyond. Could all the tension and violence have been avoided? Did the U.S. triumph or did the Soviet Union surrender? Where can we find Cold War continuities as the world unravels today? In this episode, historians Vladislav Zubok and Sergey Radchenko address these questions, which remain as relevant as ever, 30 years after the end of the Cold War. This episode was inspired by Zubok's new book (see below). Recommended reading: The World of the Cold War, 1945-1991 by Vladislav Zubok (2025) To Run the World: The Kremlin's Cold War Bid for Global Power by Sergey Radchenko (2024) Zubok teaches history at the London School of Economics and Political Science. Radchenko teaches history at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies. They were born in the Soviet Union.          

A bold, unapologetic breakdown of how Donald Trump's economic and foreign policy strategies defied expert predictions and rewrote global norms. From the media's dire warnings about tariffs and inflation to the reality of booming stock markets and record-setting trade deals, the narrative challenges the mainstream consensus. The segments delve into Trump's overhaul of U.S.-Europe trade relations, NATO funding, and military accountability, while exposing corruption concerns in Ukraine and the shifting financial burden to the European Union. Through it all, the transcripts highlight the deep disconnect between political elites, media narratives, and unfolding geopolitical realities.

What would it feel like To Run the World? The Soviet rulers spent the Cold War trying desperately to find out. In To Run The World: The Kremlin's Cold War Bid for Global Power, Sergey Radchenko provides an unprecedented deep dive into the psychology of the Kremlin's decision-making. He reveals how the Soviet struggle with the United States and China reflected its irreconcilable ambitions as a self-proclaimed superpower and the leader of global revolution. This tension drove Soviet policies from Stalin's postwar scramble for territory to Khrushchev's reckless overseas adventurism and nuclear brinksmanship, Brezhnev's jockeying for influence in the third world, and Gorbachev's failed attempts to reinvent Moscow's claims to greatness. Perennial insecurities, delusions of grandeur, and desire for recognition propelled Moscow on a headlong quest for global power, with dire consequences and painful legacies that continue to shape our world. Sergey Radchenko is the Wilson E. Schmidt Distinguished Professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies. He has written extensively on the Cold War, nuclear history, and on Russian and Chinese foreign and security policies. He has served as a Global Fellow and a Public Policy Fellow at the Woodrow Wilson Centre and as the Zi Jiang Distinguished Professor at East China Normal University (Shanghai). Professor Radchenko's books include To Run the World: the Kremlin's Cold War Bid for Global Power (Cambridge UP, forthcoming in 2024), Two Suns in the Heavens: the Sino-Soviet Struggle for Supremacy (Wilson Center Press & Stanford UP, 2009), and Unwanted Visionaries: the Soviet Failure in Asia (Oxford UP, 2014). Professor Radchenko is a native of Sakhalin Island, Russia, was educated in the US, Hong Kong, and the UK, where he received his PhD in 2005 (LSE). Before he joined SAIS, Professor Radchenko worked and lived in Mongolia, China, and Wales. Sidney Michelini is a post-doctoral researcher working on Ecology, Climate, and Violence at the Peace Research Institute of Frankfurt (PRIF).

Former Mossad official Oded Ailam joins us to explain how Israeli espionage shaped the outcome.   While the weapons of war grabbed headlines, the end of the conflict came through diplomacy, pressure, and negotiation. Stephen Yates from The Heritage Foundation breaks down how the Trump administration ended the war—and what that reveals about America's global power today.   To listen to the show ad-free, become a premium member of The President's Daily Brief by visiting PDBPremium.com.

Is the AI race entering a new global phase—driven by sovereign investments, smaller models, and smarter use cases?In this two-part XTraw AI special, we explore the most important stories shaping AI across continents—from bold infrastructure bets to real-world deployments and policy shifts.

Has Israel just become the undisputed power in the Middle East? After a lightning-fast 12-day conflict, oil prices fell instead of spiking, Iran backed off with symbolic missile strikes (after giving the U.S. a heads-up), and Russia is suddenly too nostalgic about its expats in Tel Aviv to pick a side. We unpack how this war, short, sharp, and stunning, shifted the entire balance of power in the region. Why didn't the Strait of Hormuz crisis materialise? Why are markets pricing in peace while Gaza burns? And what does this all mean for Iran's regime, which now looks more cornered than combative? We also take a surprising detour through France, exploring how language is shaped by power, and why the poor speak more languages than the rich. Is this the start of a new Middle East? Or just the next chapter in a permanent struggle? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Cyrus Accord and the Future of the New World Order Welcome to a riveting episode of Right On Radio where we delve into the complex interplay of prophecy, politics, and global power dynamics. Join us as we kick off this enlightening discussion with Jeff and special guest John Brisson from "We've Read the Documents," available on Substack and YouTube. John shares his insights on the attempted acceleration of prophecy by world powers, suggesting that a malevolent force is pushing to fulfill prophecy on their timeline. We extend the discourse with thought-provoking discussions about the political chess game involving figures like RFK Jr., who, while advocating for superficial health improvements, are surreptitiously promoting transhumanism and surveillance through wearables and digital currencies. The conversation unveils troubling connections and agendas concealed from the public eye, urging listeners to question the apparent narratives provided by political elites. Dive into compelling narratives around the geopolitical tensions between Iran, Israel, and the USA, as our hosts consider the historical underpinnings of these conflicts, speculating on economic motivations and potential moves towards a new world order. Revelations about Iran's involvement in the global financial system and the possible implementation of digital currencies highlight the march towards a unified control system, potentially heralding a one-world currency propounded by biblical prophecy. Throughout this enlightening episode, Jeff and John examine the role of faith versus deception in this turbulent world, shedding light on potential false flags and deceptions that may lead many astray, but also rallying believers to stand firm in their faith and discernment. The episode concludes with personal anecdotes and a reminder of the underlying spiritual battle, encouraging a return to foundational Christian values in the face of uncertainty.

After the U.S. bombed Iran's nuclear facilities last Saturday, many fear the outbreak of World War III.

Tensions with Iran reach a breaking point as bizarre propaganda meets deadly serious threats. Tara Servatius breaks down Iran's outlandish claim that Israel is deploying “ghosts, demons, and witches” to assassinate Iranian leaders, while U.S. officials weigh surgical military strikes to neutralize nuclear facilities. Former Assistant Secretary of State Brian Hook outlines Trump's strategic options — including joint Israeli strikes and devastating bunker-buster bombing campaigns. Meanwhile, Tara and Lisa dive deep into geopolitical power dynamics, calling out misplaced U.S. focus on Russia while China and Iran menace the globe. This pivotal conversation challenges conventional narratives, explores military history in real time, and warns of the high stakes if America fails to act with resolve.

Two explosive stories converge: Israel's Mossad pulls off a covert drone strike from inside Iran, signaling a potential collapse of Iran's influence as its proxy Hezbollah backs down. Meanwhile, America faces a sobering reality—China's grip on rare earth minerals forces Trump into a humiliating compromise, allowing 500,000 Chinese students to remain in the U.S., even after a bioweapon smuggling incident. Domestically, the chaos escalates. Democrats defend lawlessness as Senator Padilla disrupts a press event under the guise of “oversight,” while Gallup reveals even Democrat voters are rejecting woke extremism. Ron DeSantis champions the right to self-defense in Florida, and a new push to ban Big Pharma ads emerges amid revelations the government hid vaccine risks. This episode connects the dots between global intelligence warfare, economic coercion, and America's cultural battle—all in a time of critical decision-making.

The Spanish-American War of 1898 marked the first milestone of the US making an appearance as a global power. But the period between the two World Wars was one of isolation for the US. However, once it entered WWII in 1941, the US showed it military, economic and financial might, emerging as a global Super power, by the end of the War.

Their conversation sheds light on contradictions, realignments, and the potential for a fairer, more collaborative international system in uncertain times.

In this jam-packed episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Ghost tackle the geopolitical chessboard reshaped by Trump's triumphant Middle East tour. From trillion-dollar investment deals to the snub heard 'round the world, Trump's strategic bypass of Netanyahu signals a seismic shift in the U.S.-Israel relationship. Ghost breaks down the symbolic sword dances, economic alliances with MBS and Qatar, and what it all means for the emerging sovereign order. Meanwhile, back in the States, Biden's Gleason-9 prostate cancer diagnosis raises serious red flags. The hosts question the timing, transparency, and potential narrative utility of the announcement, especially in light of the devastating Robert Hur tapes and Biden's cognitive decline. They also explore the AutoPen scandal, Jill Biden's rumored revenge arc, and how the Democrats may be preparing a scorched-earth exit. The show hits everything from Trump's peace-brokering ambitions in Ukraine and Syria to bizarre Supreme Court rulings, DOJ shake-ups, and rumors of rogue North Korean special forces liberating Africa. Add in some spicy media takedowns, international election interference, and birthday celebrations for Ghost, and you've got one hell of an episode.

In this fiery monologue, Tara dissects the recent media narrative surrounding Trump's tariffs, pushing back against claims of inflation and exposing what she views as a coordinated attempt by globalist elites and mainstream media to undermine Trump's economic and foreign policy victories. From inflation myths to the shocking economic pivot in Saudi Arabia, this segment traces a high-stakes geopolitical realignment and a flex of American power the media couldn't ignore.

Andy Schectman returns to the program to discuss the latest shifts in the economic landscape, including the rapid global de-dollarization movement, record-breaking central bank gold purchases, and the accelerating transition toward BRICS+ trade alliances. We explore the growing global distrust in Western financial institutions and how Trump's actions may be fueling a dangerous game as a historic monetary realignment unfolds. We break down what these changes mean for everyday people, how wealth is being quietly repositioned, and why precious metals are once again at the heart of global strategy.Learn how you can protect your assets with Gold and Silver at https://SarahWestall.com/MilesFranklin

In a whirlwind of breaking developments, Donald Trump signs an executive order banning gain-of-function research in foreign countries, while RFK Jr. delivers a bombshell interview detailing the U.S. government's controversial history with bioweapons research and Anthony Fauci's alleged role in past lab leaks. Meanwhile, India pivots toward the U.S. in the global trade war, signaling a major geopolitical shift—and it's all happening under the radar of mainstream media.

Donald Trump's executive order banning gain-of-function research abroad, coupled with RFK Jr.'s explosive claims about Fauci's bioweapons history, signals a seismic reckoning in U.S. public health policy. Simultaneously, India quietly aligns with the U.S. in the trade war against China, marking a dramatic geopolitical turn. With mainstream media largely silent, these interconnected events reveal a deeper struggle over transparency, power, and the future of global influence.

This broadcast explores two major stories ignored by mainstream American media: the Pentagon's plan to cut top military brass, viewed as a reversal of what the host calls a “Marxist purge” under Obama, and a foreign report that India has accepted all U.S. trade demands under Trump, signaling a major shift in global alliances. Tying both narratives together, the host argues that powerful institutions at home and abroad are being challenged by nationalist and constitutionalist movements—developments the legacy media allegedly refuse to cover.

As China's economy teeters on the edge of collapse, U.S. tariffs under Donald Trump have triggered mass factory shutdowns, skyrocketing unemployment, and rising civil unrest. This explosive analysis dives into the unfolding economic catastrophe in China, the potential endgame of Communist Party rule, and the growing belief that the world is entering an economic war with global dominance at stake. With deflation, riots, and nationalist rhetoric on the rise, is China on the brink of its own 2008-style meltdown—and what role will the West play in shaping the outcome?

A landmark agreement between the U.S. and Ukraine grants America first rights to Ukraine's natural resources—coal, gas, and critical minerals—while signaling financial and defensive commitments that may pressure Russia to negotiate. This deal gives Trump newfound geopolitical leverage and potentially reshapes U.S.-Russia-China relations.

Tom Bilyeu is joined by his insightful co-host, Drew, to confront a cascade of world-shaking headlines and dig into their far-reaching implications. Kicking things off with a prophetic rundown of global events—ranging from the death of Pope Francis to tech innovations straight out of sci-fi—Tom and Drew tackle the convergence of geopolitics, religion, and technology like never before. Together, they examine the unique legacy of Pope Francis, the strategic genius (and missteps) in religious recruitment, and the historic moments that shaped global culture. The conversation then pivots to the U.S. Supreme Court's surprise late-night injunction on immigration issues, as Tom dissects the tension between due process, executive power, and the present-day political landscape. Interwoven are reflections on good governance, the rise of the “dumb voter” problem, and the essential role of free speech in a society hungry for truth and self-determination.
