Yesterday marked the fourth anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Four years of war in which Russian forces have occupied roughly one and a half percent of Ukraine's territory at the cost of approximately half a million lives. Our guest, Frederick W. Kagan, and his team at the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) and the Critical Threats Project (CTP) assess that Russia's strategy is to win at the negotiating table what it cannot seize on the battlefield. Putin's theory of victory rests on the assumption that Russian forces will continue grinding forward indefinitely, regardless of the cost, and that he will be able to persuade the West to abandon Ukraine, ultimately forcing Kyiv to concede more than it already has. Successful negotiation requires changing Putin's calculus. Over the past four years, Ukrainians have made their position unmistakably clear: “We would rather die than be part of Russia.” So, what will drive this tipping point toward peace? Would a global inflection point against malign actors and axis partners change Putin's negotiating position? And what security guarantees from the West would be sufficient to sustain this hypothetical peace? Frederick W. Kagan is a senior fellow and the director of the Critical Threats Project (CTP) at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI). He edits CTP's and the Institute for the Study of War's (ISW) daily updates on Russia's invasion of Ukraine. He was previously an associate professor of military history at West Point, and he earned the Distinguished Public Service Award for his volunteer service in Afghanistan. Dr. Kagan coauthored the report Defining Success in Afghanistan and is the author of the “Choosing Victory” report series, which recommended and monitored the US military surge in Iraq.Read the transcript here.Subscribe to our Substack here.

Silicon Bites Ep291 | 2026-02-22 | Russia will disappear. Its population consumed by imperial lust and pointless aggression. Compliance to a dictator that expends their lives senselessly and without care. Putin may be prepping a new mobilisation and the further hardening of the police state and repression. In this episode we cover the evidence of what Moscow is doing now, and what it may be planning and the stakes if Putin does choose to mobilise. The social, demographic and strategic consequences of this ominous decision.Tonight: a single, brutal question — is Vladimir Putin preparing Russia for a new wave of explicit mobilisation this spring? We'll run the actions we can verify, the signals from inside the system, and the cascade of consequences — from tightened censorship to demographic collapse and, yes, the remote but real risk of historic imperial implosion and disappearance.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------SOURCES:ISW / RBC summary: “Putin readies hidden draft in 2026 amid heavy losses — ISW” — analysis of informational and legal moves toward staged conscription.The Guardian: “Russian crackdown on Telegram app prompts rare criticism from soldiers, pro-war bloggers and officials” — on throttling Telegram and frontline blowback.

2026-02-12 | UPDATES #128 | The Counteroffensive That Didn't Happen: Russia's “Movement” Problem in Zaporizhzhia. The front line isn't moving much — because the sky is full of drones, creating a transparent, saturated and lethal environment. Russia is burning through people and equipment faster than it can replace them, and heavy armour, such as tanks, have no chance to make rapid forward movements. But the Russian propaganda machine needs stories to spin for their lie machine, to deflect from catastrophic losses, and no progress to boast of. So, what does Russia do when it can't deliver movement? It manufactures it. With a story. With a map. With a flag in the mud and a camera drone overhead.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------A REQUEST FOR HELP!I'm heading back to Kyiv this week, to film, do research and conduct interviews.

Darrell Castle talks about Iran today and exploring the possibilities for changing the regime there from one run by Islamic fundamentalists to one run by the ex-Shah’s son, Reza Pahlavi. Transcription / Notes REGIME CHANGE IN IRAN Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 16th day of January in the year of our Lord 2026. I will be talking about Iran today and exploring the possibilities for changing the regime there from one run by Islamic fundamentalists to one run by the ex-Shah's son Reza Pahlavi. What does the US want in Iran and what is it willing to do to have it. Yes, it seems that revolution is in the air once again in Iran but this time it seems to be different. Every few years people grow weary of the Ayatollah's strict laws, its moral police, etc. and they take to the streets to protest. This time it seems to be different for several reasons. The protests are much more massive and widespread this time and the people are showing great courage because the last report I saw showed more than 2500 dead and 10,000 arrested so not just protests but war in the streets it seems. The Iranians don't waste much time on niceties such as a fair trial either because they arrest a protester one day and publicly hang him the next as a warning to others. Another reason why this time might be different is that the US President is clearly fully supporting the protesters with his words and promises of military action. The primary reason, however, is that this time there are real reasons other that the resistance to fundamentalist Islam. The last large-scale protests happened when a young woman was arrested by the moral police and she ended up raped and murdered in their custody. The regime is apparently then made up of very bad people and that is always involved in the unrest. This time, in addition, there is a critical, life threatening nationwide water shortage caused or at least made worse by the regime's misuse of water facilities, reservoirs, etc. The water shortage is so bad that the capital city of Tehran is threatened with water rationing. For a city of 9 million that would be catastrophic. The final straw in this round of unrest has been the skyrocketing inflation and destruction of the purchasing power of the Iranian rial. The rial has been devalued so much that Iranian reports now express inflation in terms of dollars. It has lost 60% of its value since last June. So, the regime is bad and the people are courageous. Hundreds killed and thousands arrested which for many is the same thing. The US, through its chief executive, threatens to “hit them very hard.” The US currently has about 2000 troops next door in Iraq and all US bases in the region are on high alert. The US Central Command and certain regional partners have opened a new Middle East Air and Missile Defense command center at the US airbase in Qatar. Reports yesterday said that US troops are now being evacuated in expectation of an Iranian attack. If you have any doubt about whether the US considers itself to be responsible for policing the world and making it right in the US President's eyes those doubts should be erased. When one country has regime change fostered on it quite often it makes a lot of other countries mad and this situation is no different. The US announced a 25% tariff on countries that do business with Iran and that has made the Chinese very angry, Iran is a key part of China's multi-trillion-dollar Belt and Road Initiative and they desperately want the Mullahs to stay in power. So, the US is, in its own eyes, the policeman of the world. The Iranians seem genuinely disturbed this time unlike all the other times. Their repressive tactics don't seem to be working as well this time. I guess all the Mossad and CIA agents on the ground in Iran encourage the people to carry on. Reports coming out of Iran are that many in the regime want to talk diplomatically with the US this time to avoid a US attack. Talks were scheduled but when Trump heard that people were being killed and hanged he canceled the talks. My opinion is that the regime wanted talks not to diplomatically agree to reforms but to preserve their power. The other problem with talks is that if the US held talks and agreed for the regime to stay in power with US blessing then the US administration would lose its standing. Right now, the people protesting, undoubtedly with Mossad and CIA encouragement, are literally dying and risking their lives to bring about the downfall of the Ayatollah's rule and they expect the US to refrain from diplomatically supporting it. We now have about four decades of diplomatic efforts with Iran without any noticeable results except to make the situation worse so I suppose talking to them and sending them money is pointless. It makes sense to me to stop business and encourage our allies to stop business with a regime that commits such human rights abuses as long as it's universally applied. That's the problem though isn't it. The concept of isolating human rights abusers is not universally applied and everyone knows it including the Iranians. It's hard to stay on the moral high road under such circumstances. Iran, ever the implacable adversary, as usual is talking tough. Would a sensible leader threaten war with an adversary many times stronger when that leader has what appears to be a weakened or destroyed armed forces. The Ayatollah is doing just that but I don't think he is insane, no, he is living out the Islamic book as he perceives it. It tells him seek death instead of life and wash the cities of the world with blood and constant war until the 12th Imman, the Mahdi comes and makes the world into what the books tells him it should be and will be. Rather than insanity he really does literally believe the words in the Islamic Holy Book written almost 1400 years ago. Western leaders don't understand that because they believe nothing. Religion, whether Christianity or anything else is just a ruse they use to get elected. They really believe nothing and worship only the god of power to which they are utterly addicted. This man, the Ayatollah, the unbending foe is different. He will pretend to negotiate for a better deal but when his gullible adversaries in the West deliver he will not comply because he believes the words in that book and nothing else matters to him. He warns the US, through his foreign minister, that he is ready for war if Washington wants to test it. I'm sure he is ready and he apparently doesn't mind how much his people suffer. Why doesn't he get them some food and especially water. I guess it's because he doesn't know how and besides the book doesn't tell him to do that. Why won't he make a deal with the great Satan for water technology and resources, well the answer to that question is obvious by the name of his adversary. The foreign minister said if the US wants war like it did before, Iran is ready for it but he hopes the US will choose the wise diplomatic option. The other way leads to criminal war like the abduction of Nichalos Maduro did. He hopes the US will negotiate rather than make war for Israel's interests. There is a man here in the US who has been very vocal in support of the protestors on social media. That man is Reza Pahlavi, the son of former Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, who has been living in exile in the US since the ouster from power of the Shah in 1979 Islamic Revolution. He has been very active with international media appearances as well as social media and the other day he met with Trump's chief Middle East negotiator, Steve Wittkof. Some of the demonstrators in Tehran shout long live the Shah. My guess is that they are too young to remember what life was really like under the Shah. Pahlavi, to my knowledge, has not stated his true intentions with respect to Iran but he is scheduled to travel to Mar-a-Lago to meet with Trump as well as to deliver a speech at the Jerusalem Prayer Breakfast. Very interesting indeed because that makes me think of the real reason for all this. Who are the American politicians who favor the interests of a foreign country over that of the American people. Just about all of them it seems. Last Tuesday, the US ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, said there is no room in his party for those who do not support regime change wars. He said all should be in on overthrowing the Iranian government allegedly on Israel's behalf. There are many polls which show the Ambassador is dead wrong (no pun intended) about that. Polls show that far more Americans support my position of come home and mind your own business rather than the Ambassador's position of fighting for greater Israel in the Middle East. Did Trump commit an act of war against Iran when he sent stealth bombers a few weeks ago. The real question is not was the attack an act of war but was the attack at the bequest of a foreign leader and if so will that same leader request or demand another attack on Iran this time. My conclusion is that yes, he will do it despite the undeniable fact that the American people are sick of foreign wars that have nothing to do with them but are beneficial to foreign nations and their leaders. Meanwhile, in Iran the regime has shut down the internet across the country in an effort to prevent people from organizing meetings and protests. Elon Musk has provided his Starlink system and anyone in Iran can access it without charge he says. There are rumors that the Chinese have provided technology to Iran to disable Starlink. Anytime it is so obvious that an entire people group is not free it causes anger and outrage here in America. In response the Iranians have threatened to assassinate President Trump pledging that “this time we will not miss.” Well, a regime that murders and hangs its own people and which is mired in a water crises and inflation might want to consider a more low-key approach especially when that regime's past performance against the US air force is considered. For now the ISW reports that protests have been suppressed by security forces but could erupt again at any time so we will see. Finally, folks, to close this Castle Report here is an interesting quote from Paul Craig Roberts. “The United States is a strange place. Americans pledge their allegiance to the United States of America, but their government pledges allegiance to Israel. President Trump parades around as if he is master of the world, but he is not even master of his own country.” At least that's the way I see it, Until next time folks, This is Darrell Castle, Thanks for listening.

Vào lúc Trung Quốc tăng cường các hoạt động hăm dọa quân sự xung quanh đảo Đài Loan, tổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump kể từ ngày nhậm chức đã có những cử chỉ gây áp lực với chính quyền Đài Bắc từ quốc phòng, kinh tế cho đến công nghệ. Điều này làm dấy lên nghi vấn : Liệu các bảo đảm về an ninh trong khuôn khổ Taiwan Relations Act mà Hoa Kỳ cung cấp cho Đài Loan vẫn sẽ vững chắc ? Kể từ khi lên nắm quyền vào năm 2013, chủ tịch Trung Quốc Tập Cận Bình đã có một mục tiêu : Thống nhất Trung Quốc bằng cách đặt Đài Loan dưới sự quản lý của Bắc Kinh, kể cả bằng vũ lực nếu cần thiết. Tuy nhiên, đảo Đài Loan, mà Trung Quốc coi như là một phần lãnh thổ, một tỉnh ly khai, từ năm 1979, được hưởng sự bảo vệ của Mỹ thông qua Taiwan Relations Act (Đạo luật Quan hệ Đài Loan). TRA : Hoàn cảnh ra đời Chính sách này của Mỹ đối với Đài Loan ra đời trong bối cảnh Washington công nhận nước Cộng hòa Nhân dân Trung Hoa, có thủ đô là Bắc Kinh, như là nước Trung Quốc duy nhất, quốc gia mà Mỹ thiết lập quan hệ chính thức. Theo Camille Grand, nhà nghiên cứu tại Hội đồng Châu Âu về Quan hệ Quốc tế (ECFR), cựu trợ lý tổng thư ký NATO, trên làn sóng France Culture ngày 18/07/2025, việc Hoa Kỳ tìm cách xích lại gần Trung Quốc của Mao Trạch Đông, ngoài mục tiêu chiến lược chống Liên Xô, còn thể hiện một cái nhìn thực tế chiến lược của Washington, « về một đất nước sắp có một tỷ dân so với một hòn đảo nhỏ dân tộc chủ nghĩa mà cơ may lấy lại quyền lực ở lục địa đã trở thành một điều khôi hài ». Tuy công nhận Cộng hòa Nhân dân Trung Hoa, Washington vẫn muốn duy trì các mối quan hệ đồng minh tại vùng Thái Bình Dương, và do vậy Mỹ vẫn hiện diện tại Hàn Quốc, Nhật Bản, cũng như đúc kết một mối quan hệ với Đài Loan trong nhiều lĩnh vực, đặc biệt là về an ninh, quốc phòng. Cũng trên làn sóng France Culture, chuyên gia về Trung Quốc, Alice Ekman, giám đốc nghiên cứu Viện Nghiên cứu An ninh Liên Hiệp Châu Âu, lưu ý TRA là một văn bản cho phép định hình hợp tác quốc phòng, nhưng không bảo đảm bất kỳ sự can thiệp quân sự nào của Mỹ nếu Đài Loan bị tấn công: «"Hoa Kỳ cam kết hỗ trợ duy trì hòa bình, an ninh và ổn định ở Tây Thái Bình Dương", như cách gọi vào thời điểm đó. Sau đó, mục 2, đoạn 2, đề nghị cung cấp cho Đài Loan "vũ khí phòng thủ cần thiết để đảm bảo sự ổn định và an ninh này". Rồi ở mục 3, tôi sẽ không đi sâu vào thủ tục và chi tiết, nhưng điều quan trọng là văn bản này cũng chính thức hóa việc bán vũ khí cho Đài Loan: "Hoa Kỳ cam kết cung cấp cho Đài Loan các mặt hàng quốc phòng và dịch vụ quốc phòng với số lượng đủ để đảm bảo khả năng tự vệ của Đài Loan" ». Trump II và những thách thức cho TRA Trong nhiệm kỳ I, tổng thống Trump đã để lại ấn tượng mạnh mẽ và tích cực đối với Đài Loan. Chính sách thuế quan và các quyết định hạn chế chuyển giao công nghệ của ông đã giúp Đài Loan đạt được mục tiêu mà họ theo đuổi từ gần hai thập niên : Đa dạng hóa đầu tư Đài Loan và dịch chuyển sang các quốc gia khác trong khu vực, đồng thời khuyến khích đưa một số nhà xưởng về đảo. Trong lĩnh vực quốc phòng, chính quyền Trump I cũng có những cử chỉ tích cực với doanh số bán vũ khí cho Đài Bắc đã đạt mức 18 tỷ đô la, so với con số 14 tỷ thời chính quyền Obama. Cũng trong nhiệm kỳ I, ông Trump còn ký Taiwan Travel Act (Đạo luật Du lịch Đài Loan) năm 2018, chấm dứt một số hạn chế trao đổi chính thức kể từ khi quan hệ bang giao bị cắt đứt năm 1979. Nhưng từ khi bắt đầu nhiệm kỳ II, mọi sự thay đổi. Tổng thống Trump có những phát biểu gay gắt đối với Đài Bắc, cho rằng hòn đảo này đã đánh cắp công nghệ chip bán dẫn, rằng Đài Loan phải tăng chi quốc phòng, và phải trả « phí bảo vệ » tương tự như một loại phí « bảo hiểm an ninh ». Và gần đây nhất, theo như tiết lộ của tờ Washington Post, tổng thống Mỹ dường như đã từ chối phê duyệt gói viện trợ quân sự cho Đài Loan trị giá hơn 400 triệu đô la. Gói viện trợ này bao gồm các mặt hàng như đạn dược và drone. Nhà Trắng tuyên bố rằng quyết định này vẫn chưa hoàn tất. Ngoài ra, hồi tháng 7/2025, ông Trump còn ngăn cản tổng thống Đài Loan trên đường đến thăm các nước bạn bè Trung Mỹ quá cảnh vào Mỹ sau khi có những phản đối từ Trung Quốc, khiến ông phải hủy chuyến đi. Trước đó, một tháng, Washington hủy một cuộc họp dự kiến tại Mỹ với bộ trưởng Quốc Phòng Đài Loan. Tất cả những động thái « bất thường » này của Mỹ đã làm dấy lên nỗi lo lắng : Chính sách bảo vệ Đài Loan của Mỹ có được bảo đảm dưới thời chính quyền Trump 2.0 ? Liệu những cử chỉ này của ông Trump có làm suy yếu « TRA » mà Mỹ cung cấp cho Đài Bắc ?   Để trả lời những câu hỏi trên, nữ chuyên gia về Trung Quốc Alice Ekman, cho rằng nên xét đến vấn đề bán vũ khí. « TRA » là một văn bản chính thức hóa tính liên tục và nhu cầu cung cấp vũ khí cho Đài Loan. Câu hỏi đặt ra ở đây là bất chấp những áp lực từ Trung Quốc, tình hình bán vũ khí cho Đài Loan dưới thời Trump II ra sao ? « Vẫn còn quá sớm để biết được vì ông ấy chỉ mới bắt đầu nhiệm kỳ, nhưng người ta cũng đã bắt đầu có vài ước tính. Chính quyền Mỹ hy vọng sẽ đạt được thành tích như thời Trump I trên phương diện bán vũ khí. Nghĩa là, trong nhiệm kỳ I, họ đã phê duyệt các giao dịch bán vũ khí cho Đài Loan với tổng trị giá là 18 tỷ đô la và do vậy, họ hy vọng chí ít sẽ đạt được con số tương tự, thậm chí cao hơn. Để so sánh, dưới thời Biden, doanh số bán vũ khí của Mỹ cho Đài Loan đạt tổng cộng 8 tỷ đô la. Vì vậy, đây là điều thú vị nên xem xét đến, dù rằng người ta có ấn tượng là ông Trump chưa nói nhiều đến Đài Loan, thậm chí không hề nhắc đến hòn đảo này trong bài phát biểu nhậm chức ngày 20/01/2025. Nhưng điều tôi muốn nói là tôi không thấy bất kỳ dấu hiệu nào cho thấy Hoa Kỳ sẽ thay đổi hướng đi liên quan đến Đài Loan kể từ đầu nhiệm kỳ của Trump. Điều tôi thấy, và tôi nghĩ nhiều nhà phân tích cũng thấy, là một cách tiếp cận mang tính giao dịch nhiều hơn, điều đó không có gì mới mẻ ». « TRA » : Đối tượng gây căng thẳng và áp lực Tuy nhiên, theo cách nhìn từ nhà nghiên cứu về an ninh Camille Grand, những phát biểu trên của tổng thống Trump còn là biểu hiện của những căng thẳng trong nội bộ chính trường Mỹ từ hai trường phái. Giữa một bên có sự đồng thuận lưỡng đảng xem cạnh tranh với Trung Quốc là một ưu tiên, trong đó Đài Loan là một trong những điểm nóng và do vậy, ủng hộ bảo đảm an ninh cho Đài Loan mạnh mẽ. « Và đây đặc biệt là quan điểm rất rõ ràng của Lầu Năm Góc, đề cập đến một phần lớn các công cụ quân sự của họ, vị thế của họ ở châu Á, trong trường hợp xảy ra khủng hoảng liên quan đến Đài Loan. Đây chính xác là những gì Bộ trưởng Quốc phòng Peter Hegseth đã phát biểu tại Singapore cách đây không lâu. Nhưng cũng có một xu hướng thứ hai trong phe Cộng hòa, nhìn chung theo chủ nghĩa biệt lập hơn, vì vậy họ rất thô bạo với châu Âu, với chủ trương "hãy tự lo liệu an ninh của mình", và cả trong bối cảnh châu Á, họ cũng nói với các đồng minh rằng, "nếu quý vị không tăng chi tiêu quốc phòng, nếu quý vị không tự lo cho an ninh của mình, chúng tôi sẽ xem xét những gì chúng tôi có thể sẽ làm". Và như vậy, với một thứ áp lực ngầm lên các đồng minh châu Á, dù là Nhật Bản, Hàn Quốc và nhất là Đài Loan hiện đang trên tuyến đầu do mối quan hệ an ninh kém vững chắc của họ, vì không có quân đội Mỹ thường trực, không có hiệp ước nào, như chúng tôi đã đề cập trước đó. » Ngoài ra, vì chỉ là một văn bản luật, không phải là một hiệp ước liên minh quân sự như ông Camille Grand đề cập ở trên, nên TRA luôn mang tính bất ổn và là đối tượng gây sức ép thường trực từ phía Đài Loan và Trung Quốc. Ông giải thích tiếp : « Một nhóm vận động hành lang của Đài Loan hoạt động rất mạnh mẽ - không phải theo nghĩa xấu - tại Washington, và nhóm này vẫn rất tích cực cho đến ngày nay, nhằm đảm bảo việc bảo vệ lợi ích của Đài Bắc trong các cuộc tranh luận tại Hoa Kỳ. Rồi còn có hoạt động của một nhóm vận động hành lang Trung Quốc, nhằm gây ảnh hưởng đến các quyết định của Mỹ ví dụ như chất lượng vũ khí được chuyển giao cho Đài Bắc, chiều sâu của mối quan hệ chính trị, v.v… » Trả lời phỏng vấn The Wall Street Journal, đại diện của Đài Loan tại Hoa Kỳ  Alexander Tah Ray Yui khẳng định, trong vòng 10 năm qua, chi tiêu quốc phòng của Đài Loan tăng gần gấp đôi. Trong 8 năm, Đài Loan đã chi 26 tỷ đô la mua vũ khí, chủ yếu từ Mỹ. Và tổng thống Lại Thanh Đức cũng đã tuyên bố sẵn sàng tăng ít nhất 3% GDP cho quốc phòng. Đại diện Đài Loan tại Mỹ nói thêm một chi tiết : « Đã có 48 thông báo bán vũ khí từ Hoa Kỳ cho Đài Loan nhưng bất chấp một phần lớn trong ngân sách mà Đài Loan đã chi, những thiết bị đó vẫn chưa đến được Đài Loan vì nhiều lý do. Chúng tôi rất đánh giá cao việc Mỹ cung cấp những thiết bị này, nhưng điều quan trọng là tốc độ giao hàng mà những thiết bị này, vốn đã có sẵn trong kho, có thể được cung cấp cho Đài Loan ». Trung Quốc : Mối đe dọa hàng đầu Nhìn chung, chính sách của Mỹ đối với Đài Loan là không thay đổi. Trong nhãn quan Hoa Kỳ, Trung Quốc vẫn là mối đe dọa hàng đầu. Chỉ có điều phương thức thực hiện có thể sẽ mang tính « giao dịch » nhiều hơn, theo như nhận xét của Alice Ekman. Đây còn là cách để Mỹ có thể tiếp tục hỗ trợ Đài Loan và tránh được sức ép từ Trung Quốc trong các cuộc đàm phán về thương mại, theo như nhận định từ Viện Nghiên cứu Chiến tranh (ISW), trụ sở tại Mỹ. Quyết định hủy bỏ gói viện trợ quân sự 400 triệu đô la, nếu được xác nhận, sẽ phù hợp với ưu tiên của chính quyền Trump đối với việc bán vũ khí quân sự hơn là viện trợ quân sự. Đài Loan đã đáp trả mong muốn này của Washington qua việc bày tỏ ý định tăng cường mua thiết bị quân sự Mỹ thông qua các giao dịch mua bán vũ khí với nước ngoài. Cử chỉ này của Đài Bắc đã được Washington ủng hộ mạnh mẽ. Và điều đó cũng đồng nghĩa với việc các yêu cầu mang tính cưỡng ép của Trung Quốc đối với Đài Loan chỉ có tác dụng hạn chế. Theo trang ISW, Ủy ban Đối ngoại Hạ viện Mỹ thông qua Đạo luật Quỹ Đồng minh Đài Loan và Đạo luật Sáu Đảm bảo với Đài Loan để bỏ phiếu vào ngày 18/09 trước khi được tổng thống ký thành luật. Văn bản thứ nhất quy định dành 120 triệu đô la cho giai đoạn 2026-2028 để trợ cấp các đồng minh ngoại giao và kinh tế của Đài Loan, chống lại sức ép kinh tế từ Trung Quốc nhằm cô lập ngoại giao Đài Loan. Dự luật thứ hai là những cam kết bán chính thức của Hoa Kỳ đã định hướng chính sách của Mỹ - Đài kể từ năm 1982 và các chính quyền tiếp theo « không thể thay đổi các bảo đảm » mà không có sự chấp thuận của Quốc Hội. Cụ thể, Hoa Kỳ cam kết : Không ấn định ngày chấm dứt bán vũ khí cho Đài Loan, Không đồng ý tham vấn với Trung Quốc về việc bán vũ khí cho Đài Loan, Không đóng vai trò trung gian hòa giải giữa Trung Quốc và Đài Loan, Không đồng ý sửa đổi Đạo luật Quan hệ Đài Loan (TRA), Không đưa ra bất kỳ lập trường nào về chủ quyền Đài Loan và cuối cùng, Hoa Kỳ sẽ không gây áp lực buộc Đài Loan đàm phán với Trung Quốc !

Михайло Жирохов, військовий експерт, на Radio NV про українську ракету Сапсан, ураження нафтобази “Атлас” у Ростовській області РФ, про те, що рашисти накопичують резерви для наступу в Україні чи нападу на країну НАТО – йдеться в матеріалі ISW, а також про саміт НАТО.Ведучий – Павло Новіков

Edition No93 | 07-02-2025 - Ukraine has struck again in the Kursk direction, advancing up to 6km it is claimed. Russian reports described being struck ‘Like a Bolt from the Blue', raising the question of preparedness of Russian troops and lack of effective monitoring of Ukrainian preparations. So far, the only information we have is from Russian Mil bloggers, and Z-patriots, so we need to be cautious about the details, as the Ukrainian side is observing tight operational silence. According to these sources, Ukrainian troops launched a surprise offensive in Kursk with 500 personnel and 50 armoured vehicles. It is alleged that gas pipelines were damaged and the strike comes as a blow to Russian control in the area, as well as to Putin image. ----------We ran two events in Ukraine in the last two weeks. Lviv (part 2) and Kyiv. The event we ran in August 2023 was a huge success, and had a great impact. Now our aim is even more ambitious. Two cities. Two events. Multiple panels consisting of the best experts, and all filmed in high definition for the channel.https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasBut it costs. Last time the overall cost was £3,500 for Live in Lviv, and we covered 80% of this through ticket sales. This time the costs are higher, and there's less opportunity to sell tickets at the available venues and studios, so I'm creating a campaign to raise £5,000 to make this trip a reality. We also have a much more ambitious programme to film interviews around Kyiv and Lviv for the channel. This project will have an impact, so please help if you can. https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras----------Kursk has become not just a significant meat grinder to sap Russia's human resources, but a metal grinder, destroying huge amounts of Russian armour and kit. It is interesting to end this episode on some quotes and conclusions from the ISW report: - A small group of Ukrainian troops in Kursk Oblast have complicated the Russian military's efforts to advance in Ukraine over the last six months. - Roughly a division's worth of Ukrainian troops has undermined the Russian military's ability to launch or renew offensive operations in lower-priority areas of the frontline and to reinforce priority efforts with elite airborne (VDV) and naval infantry units. - The Ukrainian incursion in Kursk Oblast is a partial proof of concept of how limited Ukrainian battlefield activity that leverages vulnerabilities in Russia's warfighting capabilities and that integrates technological adaptations with mechanized manoeuvre can have theatre-wide impacts on operations. - It showed that surprise is still possible even on a partially transparent battlefield and that rapid manoeuvre is possible under the right conditions. The war in Ukraine, in other words, is not permanently stalemated. - Either side can potentially restore manoeuvre and begin to gain or regain significant territory. Russia will be able to do so if the West reduces or cuts off aid. Ukraine may be able to do so if Western support continues to empower Ukrainian innovation.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------

Many who follow Russia's invasion of Ukraine have come to the same conclusion: Russia can defeat Ukraine with its “incredible” strength. However, Russia is much weaker than even many in the American media let on. The Russian military is bleeding troops for minor gains on the battlefield, running out of men to fight, and has so little equipment it's turning to movie studios to recoup donated Soviet military equipment from the 1950s. How long can Putin continue his illegal war on Ukraine? How can Trump leverage Russia's weakness to bring Putin to the negotiating table? George Barros is the Russia Team & Geospatial Intelligence Team Lead on the Russia and Ukraine portfolio at the Institute for the Study of War. George's work focuses on open-source research and geospatial analysis of Russia's war in Ukraine, Russian information operations, and Ukrainian politics. Prior to joining ISW, he worked in the U.S. House of Representatives as an advisor on Ukraine and Russia for a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee.Read the transcript here.

Státní ruská nadace pro veřejné mínění vydala průzkum, který ukázal, že v posledním měsíci je s postupem ruských úřadů nespokojených 28 procent respondentů. Je to o čtvrtinu víc než v průzkumu z 11. srpna. Tak vysokou nespokojenost Rusové nevyjádřili od ankety v listopadu 2022, kterou tatáž agentura provedla měsíc po velmi nepopulární částečné mobilizaci v Rusku, píše na svém webu americký neziskový Institut pro studium války (ISW).Všechny díly podcastu Svět ve 20 minutách můžete pohodlně poslouchat v mobilní aplikaci mujRozhlas pro Android a iOS nebo na webu mujRozhlas.cz.

This is a conversation with George Barros. George leads the team at the Institute for the Study of War that is responsible for tracking and analyzing the war in Ukraine and making daily updates on what is going on in the battlefield and on the strategic level. They are now the most quoted think-tank in the world and so there is a good chance that you have seen George's work before.  In this conversation, we talk about the shape of the Russian military as it's getting ready for a major offensive against Ukraine, what are the real Russian losses and when will the Russians finally run out of tanks and whether Russia would and could attack NATO. And we also talked about the work of his team at ISW, how they track and analyze the conflict and how open source intelligence is changing the character of war. Enjoy the conversation. 

The war in Ukraine seems to have entered a new phase. Confluence Chief Market Strategist Patrick Fearon-Hernandez joins Phil Adler to discuss what investors might do to prepare for a range of possible outcomes.

Schweden diskutiert bereits darüber, ob die Zivilbevölkerung auf einen möglichen Krieg mit Russland vorbereitet werden muss. Auch Deutschland ist im zivilen Bereich "nicht sehr kriegstüchtig", sagt Prof. Dr. Dominic Kudlacek, Sicherheitsexperte von der Hochschule Bremerhaven in dieser Podcast-Folge im Interview mit Carsten Schmiester. Es fehle dabei aber nicht nur an Material und Strukturen, sondern auch an der Bereitschaft vieler Menschen, umzudenken. Der Schock des Krieges in der Ukraine könne dies aber ändern. Der Wissenschaftler rät, Zivilschutz neu und umfassender zu denken, ihn nicht nur auf eine Bedrohung auszurichten und so auf eine dauerhafte Basis zu stellen. Eine weitere These: Zivilschutz fängt bei jeder und jedem Einzelnen an, wir haben unsere Sicherheit selbst in der Hand. Anna Engelke schaut im Podcast auf die massiven russischen Angriffe auf zivile Ziele und Zivilisten in der Ukraine, die erste Auslandsreise des ukrainischen Präsidenten Selenskyj, die ihn ins Baltikum geführt hat und auf die Frage, aus welchen westlichen Staaten die weiteren Militär- und Finanzhilfen für die Ukraine kommen können.

Darrell Castle talks about examples of madness occurring in America and around the world that he never thought he would live to see. Transcription / Notes WORLD GONE MAD Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is the 8th day of December in the year of our Lord 2023. I will be talking about madness occurring in America and around the world that I never thought I would live to see. The continuation and funding of pointless wars by the United States around the world along with continuing and intensifying attacks on Jews in America and around the Western world are just two of the many examples of madness. Before I start with the madness Report, I remind you that yesterday, December 7th was the 82nd anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor or the day of infamy as FDR put it. Today is the beginning of Hanukkah for our Jewish friends as they suffer the brunt of much of the madness that I will be talking about. Tomorrow December 9th is my dear wife's birthday so happy birthday Joan. In a couple of weeks, we will celebrate our 46th anniversary, and that is no small achievement today. War is my subject and my beat today, and the war in Gaza seems to have taken the war in Ukraine off the front pages at least for a while, but that doesn't mean the U.S. has stopped fighting Russia. The German Corporation, Rheinmetall, has been given a large contract by some unnamed NATO country that has been a large financial supporter of the Ukraine war effort. Well, I scratch my head and I wonder which country that could be. Who could afford to give a German Company 142 million Euros to build 155MM howitzer shells for Ukraine. How many rounds of 155 shells, tens of thousands is all they will say. The shells from Rheinmetall are not expected to be ready until 2025 so a long war perhaps. There is an existing Rheinmetall order from October 2023 of 150,000 rounds of 155 which will be delivered sooner. Rheinmetall is a historic German company that supplied Keyser Wilhelm with ammunition in World War l, and it supplied ammunition, tracked vehicles, and other armored vehicles to Hitler in World War ll. That's a lot of madness, I know folks, but stay with me because it gets worse. The U.S. has more for the arms industry than just German companies because it has given $522 million in contracts to U.S. arms companies to produce 155 howitzer shells. Most of the money will go to Northrop Grumman and Global Military Products, Inc. but there is enough to spread among various ammunition plants around the country. The estimate is about 50,000 rounds per month next year accelerating to 85,000 per month by 2028. Will we really need 85,000 155MM howitzer rounds per month in 2028? I guess so folks, and I suppose we are expected to accept it as all part of the new madness in which we live. Not to put too fine a point on it but that is approximately 1,800,000 rounds before the big numbers kick in 2028, and not counting Rheinmetall's contribution. Both sides in Ukraine continue to respond to tactical changes dictated by new weapons and tactics supplied to Ukrainian forces by the U.S. In other words, the supplies make the conflict worse because they must and will be countered. For example, reports by the ISW, or the Institute for the Study of War, indicate that the Ukrainian air defense system especially along the border with Russia is becoming more and more effective against Russian aircraft. To counter that the Russians have gone to more frequent use of long-range glide bombs and cruise missiles as well as swarms of what are being called suicide or kamikaze drones. My point is that both sides seem to be settling in for a long war. Putin just directed that the Russian military be increased in personnel by 170,000. In its efforts to “weaken Russia” as Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin put it, Russia has been made much stronger. This madness is great news for arms makers here and around the world, but bad news for humanity.

The world of AI is exploding, as excitement about generative AI creates a gold rush. We've already seen a huge number of new GenAI-based startups, products, and features flooding the market and we'll see a lot more emerge over the next few years. Generative AI will transform how we do business and how we interact with businesses, so right now is an excellent time to consider how to adopt AI safely. Pamela Gupta's company literally has "trust" and "AI" in the name (Trusted.ai), so we couldn't think of anyone better to come on and have this conversation with. Interview Resources: https://trusted.ai https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/ai/nist.ai.100-1.pdf There's a lot of talk about AI, especially with the rise of apps like ChatGPT.

In this podcast episode, Jennifer Cafarella, Director of Strategic Initiatives at the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), discusses her expertise in Syria and counter-ISIS work. The ISW focused on Syria. Over time they expanded their Russia program, recognizing Putin's intervention in Syria as part of his global strategy. ISW provides support to educate civilian leaders on military force usage. They also train and advise senior military commanders while fostering young national security talent.  The podcast highlights the attempted coup by Progozhin, leader of the Wagner Group, and the group's uncertain future. The brutality associated with Wagner, such as disturbing videos from Syria and Ukraine, is discussed. Speculation arises on potential Russian defense and leadership changes due to the coup attempt. The ISW provides daily briefs and updates on the fighting in eastern Ukraine, which I think is the best publicly available information on the war.

On May 21, Russian forces declared victory in Bakhmut after nearly a year of battle, marking their first seizure over a major city since Severodonetsk and Lysychansk in the summer of 2022. While Russian propagandists have likened the victory in Bakhmut to the Fall of Berlin, analysts at the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) argue that Bakhmut actually lost its (limited) strategic significance back in September. On this week's episode of The Eastern Front, Giselle, Dalibor, and Iulia speak with one of ISW's Russia analysts, Kateryna Stepanenko, to discuss her new piece contextualizing the battle for Bakhmut since its start in the spring of 2022 and what it might suggest about Russia's ability to mount successful offensive operations. Is the Russian army able to adapt to the realities of the battlefield? Do they value "information victories" over military victories? Stepanenko and the co-hosts also discuss the right-wing pro-Kremlin milbloggers' sudden shift from staunch ultra-nationalism to deep skepticism over a potential Russian mobilization. Show notes: Sign up for The Eastern Front's bi-weekly newsletter here and follow us on Twitter here; "The Kremlin's Pyrrhic Victory in Bakhmut: A Retrospective on the Battle for Bakhmut" by Kateryna Stepanenko.
