In A Nasty Little War: The Western Fight to Reverse the Russian Revolution (Basic Books, 2024), award-winning reporter Anna Reid tells the extraordinary story of how the West tried to reverse the Russian Revolution. In the closing months of the First World War, Britain, America, France and Japan sent arms and 180,000 soldiers to Russia, with the aim of tipping the balance in her post-revolutionary Civil War. From Central Asia to the Arctic and from Poland to the Pacific, they joined anti-Bolshevik forces in trying to overthrow the new men in the Kremlin, in an astonishingly ambitious military adventure known as the Intervention. Fresh, in the case of the British, from the trenches, they found themselves in a mobile, multi-sided conflict as different as possible from the grim stasis of the Western Front. Criss-crossing the shattered Russian empire in trains, sleds and paddlesteamers, they bivouacked in snowbound cabins and Kirghiz yurts, torpedoed Red battleships from speedboats, improvised new currencies and the world's first air-dropped chemical weapons, got caught up in mass retreats and a typhus epidemic, organised several coups and at least one assassination. Taking tea with warlords and princesses, they also turned a blind eye to their Russian allies' numerous atrocities. Two years later they left again, filing glumly back onto their troopships as port after port fell to the Red Army. Later, American veterans compared the humiliation to Vietnam, and the politicians and generals responsible preferred to trivialise or forget. Drawing on previously unused diaries, letters and memoirs, A Nasty Little War brings an episode with echoes down the century since vividly to life. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose forthcoming book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Nick Reiner reportedly admits to killing his parents. That alone should end the conversation. But it doesn't — because what he says next reframes the entire case. Instead of focusing on the act, he reportedly describes his incarceration as a "conspiracy." And that single shift raises questions that can't be ignored.Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke — who ran the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program — breaks down the behavioral patterns emerging from publicly reported information in this case. This isn't about diagnosing mental illness or debating sympathy. It's about how people behave when consequences arrive.A critical focus is what reportedly happened after the killings. According to reports, there was calm movement, time, decision-making, and navigation — not immediate collapse. Nick reportedly checked into a hotel and moved through LA for 24 hours. Robin explains why analysts pay close attention to this phase, and why serious mental illness does not automatically eliminate awareness, planning, or accountability.The defense will likely invoke the M'Naghten rule — the same standard that freed David Carmichael, a father who planned his son's murder but was found not criminally responsible because a psychotic delusion changed what he believed he was doing. Carmichael's medication triggered his break. Nick's medication was changed one month before the killings.But Carmichael had no history of manipulation. Nick Reiner has 30 years of it. Experts repeatedly told the Reiner family he was "lying or manipulating them." More than 18 treatment facilities cashed checks and released him after 30 days.Robin explains how families don't ignore warning signs — they adapt to them. When instability lasts for years, chaos becomes routine. Intervention fatigue sets in. Boundaries soften. And that adaptation can quietly become dangerous.This episode doesn't ask for sympathy. It asks harder questions — about behavior, responsibility, and why words that redirect blame deserve scrutiny.#NickReiner #RobinDreeke #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #FBI #BehaviorAnalysis #InsanityDefense #DavidCarmichael #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What happens after the act matters. Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke says analysts pay close attention to post-offense behavior — and in the Nick Reiner case, the reported timeline raises serious questions.According to reports, Nick didn't collapse. He checked into a Santa Monica hotel. He navigated Los Angeles for 24 hours. There was calm movement, time, decision-making. Robin explains why serious mental illness does not automatically eliminate awareness, planning, or accountability.Nick reportedly admits to killing his parents Rob and Michele Reiner. But instead of focusing on the act, he describes his incarceration as a "conspiracy." That reframe is exactly what behavioral analysts examine — how people respond when consequences finally arrive.The defense will likely point to the M'Naghten rule, which doesn't require proving Nick didn't know right from wrong — only that he didn't understand the "nature and quality" of his actions. It's the same standard that freed David Carmichael, a father who researched murder charges, planned his son's killing, and still walked out of a psychiatric facility after two years. Carmichael's psychotic break was triggered by medication. Nick's medication was changed one month before the killings.But there's a critical difference. Carmichael had no history of manipulation. Nick Reiner has 30 years of it. His own father said experts repeatedly warned the family Nick was "lying or manipulating them." More than 18 treatment facilities cycled him through 30-day stays that satisfied the system without producing change.Robin explains how families normalize chaos over time. They don't ignore warning signs — they adapt to them. Boundaries soften. Intervention fatigue sets in. And that adaptation can become dangerous.The defense exists. The question is whether a jury will believe it from someone who's spent a lifetime ensuring no one should.#NickReiner #RobinDreeke #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #InsanityDefense #DavidCarmichael #FBI #HiddenKillers #BehaviorAnalysis #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Partnered with a Survivor: David Mandel and Ruth Stearns Mandel
What happens when David turns the tables on Ruth and interviews her—seven years into their shared body of work?In this special anniversary episode, David marks seven years since Ruth joined the Safe & Together Institute by stepping into the interviewer role. This is a founder-level conversation about vision, values, the hard work of scaling, and how systems actually change when lived experience is treated as critical professional expertise—not an add-on.Ruth traces her journey from working with medical practitioners to helping transform Safe & Together from a training organization into a systems-change engine. She shares the deeper vision behind that shift: embedding domestic abuse–informed, trauma-informed, child-centered practice into the real operating conditions of systems through values-aligned leadership, business rigor, and strong operations. A central theme is supporting frontline workers—how poor practice, rigid forms, siloed communication, and unrealistic mandates make ethical work harder, and how better systems design can reduce moral injury and make good practice more sustainable.Ruth also introduces the Credible Expert approach, embedding diverse, system-literate survivors as compensated contributors to design, strategy, and decision-making. Together, they offer an unflinching critique of “reduce removals” initiatives and explain what meaningful reform actually requires.Looking ahead, they introduce SafetyNexus, a technology platform designed to coach practitioners, map perpetrator patterns, strengthen documentation, and streamline workflows—without replacing professional judgment—while centering survivor governance from the start.This episode is both a milestone and an invitation to keep building systems that save lives and save money.Please follow us, share this episode, and send us your comments.Send us a text Now available!

Are you exhausted from constantly fighting temptation and sin? In this episode, Dr. Alex Lloyd reveals why focusing on NOT sinning actually makes you sin MORE—and what to focus on instead. Drawing from the Seven Deadly Sins, Harvard's Grant Study (the longest study on human flourishing), and Viktor Frankl's work on meaning, Alex and Harry unpack the paradox of righteous living. ✓ What You'll Discover: ✓ Why the "Seven Deadly Sins" are actually rooted in wrong thinking, not just actions ✓ The original 4th-century list called "evil thoughts" (logosmoi) ✓ Why happiness as a goal makes you LESS happy (and what to focus on instead) ✓ Harvard's 80-year study conclusion: "Happiness equals love, full stop" ✓ The two death traps: following your heart vs. rigid stoicism ✓ Why 50% of your heart's information is factually wrong ✓ How to practice Intervention 2 (crying out to God) with the right heart posture ✓ The Prodigal Son secret: what God really requires from you Key Topics Covered: The Seven Deadly Sins vs. Evagrius Ponticus's original list of "evil thoughts" Why sloth became "acedia" (spiritual apathy/despair)—and why that matters Viktor Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning" and the trap of hyper-intention The Harvard Grant Longitudinal Study: what determines human flourishing Why 90% of New Year's resolutions fail by January 21st The difference between nocebo, placebo, and de facto truth Biblical forgiveness, humility, and surrender vs. perfectionism How to use the Tree of Life intervention with belief mapping

The latest on the violence in Iran … so how should the U.S. and President Trump respond? Democrats in Congress look to defund immigration enforcement as activist judges continue to block the Trump administration at every turn. If the fraud is to be stopped in Minnesota and elsewhere, it has to be now. Supreme Court hears arguments about men competing against women in sports, and Justice Alito shines while Justice Brown Jackson whines. The president gives the bird to a heckler. Long-term Rock and Roll Hall of Fame snubs … is this their year? Secret Service agent gives way too much information to a Tinder date. Will the U.S. and NATO come to blows over Greenland?

Guest: General Blaine Holt (retired). Holt discusses potential U.S. intervention to support Iranian protesters, emphasizing strikes on command nodes rather than ground troops. While the U.S. maintains air superiority, putting special operators on the ground carries high risk. The Iranian people face a critical window of days to succeed before facing stunning reprisals.1920 PERSIA

Michael Allen speaks with Dr. Ryan Berg, Director of the Americas Program and Head of the Future of Venezuela Initiative at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), about the stunning aftermath of the U.S. military intervention in Venezuela. Ryan breaks down the high-stakes Delta Force raid that successfully captured Nicolas Maduro for trial in New York—an operation that lasted only two hours. Dr. Berg also explores the strategic necessity of the U.S. naval presence in the Caribbean and the administration's new oil policy, which involves the U.S. marketing Venezuelan oil to benefit both nations. Finally, Dr. Berg takes a closer look at the broader implications for regional security and the immense challenges of managing the transition in a post-Maduro Caracas.
Iran is in crisis. The price of bread has more than doubled, the currency has collapsed to record lows, and protests have erupted across the country. As security forces respond with deadly force, doctors inside Iran are being warned not to treat injured protesters and hospitals are buckling under the strain.In this episode of Battle Lines: Global Health Security, we go inside Iran's overwhelmed healthcare system. We speak to Dr Kayvan Mirhadi, an Iranian-American doctor who has gathered testimonies from doctors across the country. Venetia and Arthur also speak to Dr Sanam Vakil from Chatham House to examine the deeper forces driving this moment: food insecurity, economic collapse, water shortages, women's rights, and years of systemic mismanagement.Producer: Sophie O'SullivanExecutive Producer: Louisa WellsStudio Operator: Meghan Searle► Sign up to our most popular newsletter, From the Editor.

Haqqani warns against military intervention in Iran, citing past failures like Vietnam and Iraq, noting that military force cannot solve misunderstood political problems. NUMBER 21908 PERSIA
ESCALATING IRANIAN PROTESTS AND POTENTIAL US INTERVENTION Colleague Edmund Fitton-Brown. Edmund Fitton-Brown describes the current Iranian protests as a movement that has shifted into a repression phase characterized by internet blackouts and rising casualties. He argues that US military force targeting repression organs could tip the balance in favor of the protesters, who are increasingly calling for a constitutional monarchy. The regime is reportedly attempting to negotiate following US strike threats. NUMBER 131400 ALI SIMJURI IN BATTLE.

Luke Hedrick, Dave Furfaro, and recurrent RFJC guest Robert Wharton are joined again today by Nicole Ng to discuss the FIBRONEER-IPF trial investigating Nerandomilast in patients with IPF. This trial was published in NEJM in 2025 and looked at Neradomilast vs placebo for treating patients with IPF, on or off background anti-fibrotic therapy. This agents is now FDA approved for pulmonary fibrosis, and understanding the trial results is essential for any pulmonary physician treating patients with IPF or progressive pulmonary fibrosis. Article and Reference Today’s episode discusses the FIBRONEER-IPF trial published in NEJM in 2025.

PMID: 40387033. https://www.nejm.org/doi/abs/10.1056/NEJMoa2414108 Meet Our Guests Luke Hedrick is an Associate Editor at Pulm PEEPs and runs the Rapid Fire Journal Club Series. He is a senior PCCM fellow at Emory, and will be starting as a pulmonary attending at Duke University next year. Robert Wharton is a recurring guest on Pulm PEEPs as a part of our Rapid Fire Journal Club Series. He completed his internal medicine residency at Mt. Sinai in New York City, and is currently a pulmonary and critical care fellow at Johns Hopkins. Dr. Nicole Ng is an Assistant Profess of Medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital, and is the Associate Director of the Interstitial Lung Disease Program for the Mount Sinai National Jewish Health Respiratory Institute. Infographic Key Learning Points Why this trial mattered IPF therapies remain limited: nintedanib and pirfenidone slow (but do not stop) decline and often cause GI side effects. Nerandomilast is a newer agent (a preferential PDE4B inhibitor) with antifibrotic + immunomodulatory effects. Phase 2 data (NEJM 2022) looked very promising (suggesting near-“halt” of FVC decline), so this phase 3 trial was a big test of that signal. Trial design essentials Industry-sponsored, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, large multinational study (332 sites, 36 countries). Population: IPF diagnosed via guideline-aligned criteria with central imaging review and multidisciplinary diagnostic confirmation. Intervention: nerandomilast 18 mg BID, 9 mg BID, or placebo; stratified by background antifibrotic use. Primary endpoint: change in FVC at 52 weeks, analyzed with a mixed model for repeated measures. Key secondary endpoint: time to first acute exacerbation, respiratory hospitalization, or death (composite). Who was enrolled Typical IPF trial demographics: ~80% male, mean age ~70, many former smokers. Many were already on background therapy (~45% nintedanib, ~30–33% pirfenidone). Notable exclusions included significant liver disease, advanced CKD, recent major cardiovascular events, and psychiatric risk (suicidality/severe depression), reflecting class concerns seen with other PDE4 inhibitors. Efficacy: what the primary endpoint showed Nerandomilast produced a statistically significant but modest reduction in annual FVC decline vs placebo (roughly 60–70 mL difference). Importantly, it did not halt FVC decline the way the phase 2 data suggested; patients still progressed. Important nuance: interaction with pirfenidone Patients on pirfenidone had ~50% lower nerandomilast trough levels. Clinically: 9 mg BID looked ineffective with pirfenidone, so 18 mg BID is needed if used together. In those not on background therapy or on nintedanib, 9 mg and 18 mg looked similar—suggesting the apparent “dose-response” might be partly driven by the pirfenidone drug interaction Secondary and patient-centered outcomes were neutral No demonstrated benefit in the composite outcome (exacerbation/resp hospitalization/death) or its components. Quality of life measures were neutral and declined in all groups, emphasizing that slowing FVC alone may not translate into felt improvement without a disease-reversing therapy. The discussants noted this may reflect limited power/duration for these outcomes and mentioned signals from other datasets/pooling that might suggest mortality benefit—but in this specific trial, the key secondary endpoint was not positive. Safety and tolerability Diarrhea was the main adverse event: Higher overall with the 18 mg dose, and highest when combined with nintedanib (up to ~62%). Mostly mild/manageable; discontinuation due to diarrhea was relatively uncommon (but higher in those on nintedanib). Reassuringly, there was no signal for increased depression/suicidality/vasculitis despite psychiatric exclusions and theoretical class risk. How to interpret “modest FVC benefit” clinically The group framed nerandomilast as another tool that adds incremental slowing of progression. They emphasized that comparing absolute FVC differences across trials (ASCEND/INPULSIS vs this trial) is tricky because populations and “natural history” in placebo arms have changed over time (earlier diagnosis, improved supportive care, etc.). They highlighted channeling bias: patients already on antifibrotics may be sicker (longer disease duration, lower PFTs, more oxygen), complicating subgroup comparisons. Practical takeaways for real-world use All three antifibrotics are “fair game”; choice should be shared decision-making based on goals, tolerability, dosing preferences, and logistics. Reasons they favored nerandomilast in practice: No routine lab monitoring (major convenience advantage vs traditional antifibrotics). Generally better GI tolerability than nintedanib. BID dosing (vs pirfenidone TID). Approach to combination therapy: They generally favor add-on rather than immediate combination to reduce confusion about side effects—while acknowledging it may slow reaching “maximal therapy.” Dosing guidance emphasized: Start 18 mg BID for IPF, especially if combined with pirfenidone (since dose reduction may make it ineffective). 9 mg BID may be considered if dose reduction is needed and the patient is not on pirfenidone (e.g., monotherapy or with nintedanib).
A U.S. operation that captured Venezuela's president has raised hard questions about authority, truthfulness, and the constitutional limits of executive power. The larger issue goes deeper than geopolitics: broken nations don't get healed by force, propaganda, or swapped-out strongmen. Scripture calls for sober rulers who fear God—and for Christians who insist on higher-law thinking while laboring for the only lasting remedy: gospel-driven discipleship of families and nations.
On today's show host, Dana Pellebon is joined in the studio with long-time Madison leader, Anthony Cooper Sr. the CEO and Founder of Focused Interruption which provides community violence intervention and prevention in Dane County. Their work includes mentorship, trauma-informed care, and direct support to survivors of violence and individuals seeking a fresh start. Cooper discusses how his experience of incarceration paved the way for the work that he's doing now with Focused Interruption and how he draws on his prior experience working for Nehemiah. He says that crisis intervention is important for everyone in the community, in addition to the victim and the perpetrator. With Focused Interruption, Cooper works to address gun violence in a preventative way, though much of their work includes working with perpetrators of violence, navigating law enforcement and investigations, and community needs. This means pointing out challenges and moving toward repair in situations where “trauma is stacked on top of violence,” says Cooper. Community members are partners in this work, in helping the folks at Focused Interruption identify situations before they escalate. They also discuss how important it is to show up in your community spaces in order to make a positive impact, what it would look like to have community rather than community policing, and how Focused Interruption takes care of its workers. Anthony Cooper Sr. is a dedicated and visionary leader, serving as the CEO and Founder of Focused Interruption, a pioneering organization specializing in community violence intervention and prevention in Dane County. His leadership is defined by a deep commitment to creating safer, more inclusive communities through innovative and compassionate approaches.

Iran is facing its deadliest wave of unrest in years, with mass protests spreading nationwide and the reported death toll climbing into the thousands as the regime cracks down. As much of the Middle East stays conspicuously quiet, this episode asks the looming question: will Trump intervene—and what happens if he does?
As protests in Iran continue into their third week, the country's foreign minister claims the situation is "under total control". President Donald Trump has warned that the US could intervene and has "very strong options". In response, Iran says it's "prepared" for war, but "does not seek" it. Also: Myanmar is accused of genocide over attacks on the Muslim Rohingya minority in 2017. The chairman of the US Federal Reserve is facing legal action. He claims it's a political attack. Hamas says it's prepared to hand over power in Gaza -- but is it? We hear how the campaign to end child marriage in the US has some powerful opponents. And, the chimpanzee who beat humans at a memory test has died.The Global News Podcast brings you the breaking news you need to hear, as it happens.

US INTERVENTION IN IRAN: FROM OPERATION AJAX TO THE SHAH'S FALL Colleague Brandon Weichert. This segment introduces Brandon Weichert's book, The Shadow War, and examines the history of USinterference in Iran. It details Ambassador William Sullivan's 1978 "Thinking the Unthinkable" memo, which suggested the Carter administration prepare for the Shah's removal as he weakened. The discussion highlights how the USconsidered Ayatollah Khomeini a potential replacement to stabilize Iran, a massive miscalculation. It also revisits the 1953 Operation Ajax, clarifying that pro-Western Iranian military forces, aided by the British and CIA, ousted Prime Minister Mosaddegh after he attempted to consolidate power and nationalize oil.

President Trump raised eyebrows when he told the New York Times that there was only one thing that could stop him on the global stage: his own morality.So what do Americans think about the moral standing of the United States? Well, a new NPR-Ipsos poll finds Americans still want the U.S. to be a moral leader in the world — but far fewer think it actually is. Senior Political Editor and Correspondent Domenico Montanaro shares more from the poll, and Senior International Affairs Correspondent Jackie Northam helps make sense of what it means globally.For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org.

This episode contains description of addiction, eating disorders and discussion of suicide. Our guest today is the pioneering comedian, actor and activist Margaret Cho. She began performing comedy as a teenager, opening for Jerry Seinfeld at just 14, before becoming one of the most influential stand-ups of her generation. Now in her 50s, Margaret reflects in this episode on the cancellation of her groundbreaking sitcom, All-American Girl, and the surreal "miscalculations" of a network that hired consultants to ensure she was "doing Asian right". She speaks candidly about the "mind f***" of being told she was "too fat to play herself", which triggered a dangerous spiral into disordered eating, 90s diet drugs and eventual kidney failure. She opens up about a suicidal near-death experience that she was initially too afraid to admit even to herself - and about the intervention by friends that finally led her to sobriety. This conversation explores shame, rage and the life-saving importance of humour. Because, as Margaret says, sometimes laughter can be the thing that keeps you breathing. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Introduction 04:37 Childhood Reflections 06:59 Political and Social Commentary 10:43 The Sitcom Experience 18:35 Body Image and Health Struggles 26:13 Legacy and Influence 26:54 The Struggle with Diet Culture 28:34 Embarrassing Moments on Stage 32:10 Family Influence on Weight Issues 33:22 Seeking Help and Therapy 34:05 Childhood Abuse and Its Impact 37:27 Battling Drug and Alcohol Addiction 43:09 Intervention and Recovery 46:51 Finding Hope and Happiness
