Today, Les, Jamil, and Matt discuss the removal of General Zhang Youxia, one of the most senior figures in China's military. Zheng's ouster, amid allegations of corruption and possible espionage, marks the latest in a sweeping series of purges that many say have hollowed out China's top military leadership, leaving Xi and just one other general at the apex of the Central Military Commission. As Xi appears to position himself for an unprecedented fourth term in 2027, the shakeup raises new questions about stability inside the Chinese Communist Party and the People's Liberation Army.Is Xi consolidating power or has paranoia begun to consume his own system? Do these purges weaken China's ability to act militarily, particularly toward Taiwan, or do they increase the risk of miscalculation? And as Beijing continues aggressive exercises, cyber operations, and coordination with Russia, how should the United States interpret this moment? @jamil_n_jaffer@lestermunson@WMattHaydenLike what we're doing here?

Today, Les, Jamil, Morgan, and Jess discuss Greenland as President Trump arrives at the World Economic Forum in Davos and once again places the Arctic island at the center of global attention. While Trump's rhetoric has sparked backlash across Europe, the debate raises serious strategic questions: Greenland's growing importance to U.S. national security, its role in Arctic defense, and why Washington has sought greater influence over the territory for more than a century.Should we be wringing our hands or rending our garments over the Kerfuffle with Europe? Does the United States have a legitimate national security interest in Greenland, and if so, what's the right way to pursue it without fracturing NATO unity? How should Washington balance pressure with reassurance to allies already rattled by the war in Ukraine? And as Trump enters his second year in office, what does the Greenland debate tell us about how this administration plans to wield power going forward?@lestermunson@jamil_n_jaffer@morganlroach@NotTVJessJonesLike what we're doing here?

What happens when a once-fringe sport starts to go mainstream — and can it grow without losing its soul? In this episode of Trail Runner Nation, we sit down with Jamil Coury, founder and CEO of Aravaipa Running and publisher of UltraRunning Magazine, to explore the State of Trail and Ultrarunning in 2026. Jamil shares a 30,000-foot view of how the sport has evolved over the past decade, from participation and media coverage to rising expectations around professionalism and athlete experience. We discuss the emergence of 200+ mile races, the power of livestreaming and storytelling, and how technology is changing how runners train, race, and engage with the sport. The conversation also tackles cost, accessibility, and the growing presence of corporate influence, alongside the responsibility of race directors as stewards of ultrarunning's culture. Throughout it all, Jamil reminds us why the sport still works — community, shared suffering, and a deep respect between elites and back-of-the-pack runners alike.

Today, Les, Jamil, Morgan, and Andy revisit Iran as protests continue to escalate and the reported death toll climbs into the thousands. President Trump was briefed this week on response options and has publicly signaled support for demonstrators, saying that “help is on the way.” What does meaningful support for Iranian protesters actually look like? Should the United States openly back regime change—and if so, how, given limited military presence and a fractured opposition? Are covert action, cyber operations, and coordination with regional partners more realistic tools than overt force? And as Trump isolates Iran economically and diplomatically, is this the beginning of a pressure campaign that could genuinely tip the balance, or another moment of outrage without follow-through?@lestermunson@jamil_n_jaffer@morganlroach@andykeiserLike what we're doing here?

Today, Les, Jamil, Morgan, and Jess discuss escalating protests across Iran, where economic collapse and political repression are driving nationwide unrest. Demonstrations that began with small business owners have spread to major cities, prompting a violent crackdown by security forces and an internet shutdown. As the regime insists the situation is under control, President Trump has warned publicly that continued mass killings could trigger U.S. action, while Iranian officials have quietly floated the possibility of renewed nuclear talks.Is this protest movement meaningfully different from past uprisings that fizzled under pressure? Has the regime been weakened enough, internally and externally, for unrest to threaten its hold on power? And with Iran's opposition fractured and no clear alternative government waiting in the wings, what leverage does the United States actually have if it wants to support change without creating a far more dangerous vacuum?@lestermunson@jamil_n_jaffer@morganlroach@NotTVJessJonesLike what we're doing here?

Today, Morgan, Les, Jamil, and Algene discuss the United States' announcement that it would provide security guarantees to Ukraine as part of a potential peace settlement with Russia. The move follows discussions in Paris between U.S. and European partners, outlining a proposed security architecture for Ukraine and “legally binding” commitments meant to support a postwar order. U.S. Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have both indicated President Trump's backing, and Ukrainian officials say roughly 90 percent of a peace framework is agreed—though major territorial questions remain unresolved.What do security guarantees actually mean in practice, and do they bring Ukraine any closer to a durable peace? Are these commitments meaningful deterrents, or largely symbolic without clear enforcement mechanisms? And with Russia showing no willingness to accept a ceasefire—or the presence of Western peacekeepers—what happens if Moscow simply ignores the framework altogether?

Episode 540: The Holiday Special - Unwrapping 2025Today, Jessica, Jamil, Morgan, Lester, Les, Lipsey, Matthew, and Marc take stock of a consequential year in U.S. national security. From President Trump's push to brand himself as a “peace president”—highlighted by multiple diplomatic agreements and the Gaza peace plan—to moments of hard power, including U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran's nuclear program, 2025 defied easy labels. The team reflects on undercovered but significant developments as well: the dismantling of the U.S. foreign assistance architecture, growing concern over advanced technology transfers to China, sweeping changes to the federal workforce through DOGE, and a renewed focus on the Western Hemisphere, particularly Venezuela and Haiti.Looking ahead to 2026, what will ultimately shape U.S. national security: the trajectory of Ukraine, a recalibration of China policy, or the domestic pressures of a midterm election year? Are tariffs becoming a permanent tool of U.S. leverage or a temporary negotiating tactic? And as the administration continues to reshape how American power is exercised, which lessons from 2025 will matter most?@jamil_n_jaffer@nottvjessjones@lestermunson@WashingtonFlack@morganlroachLike what we're doing here?

With more than 35 years of diplomatic experience—including senior leadership roles in Taiwan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and postings across Europe, Latin America, and the U.S.—Ambassador Yui offers a uniquely informed view of the shifting security landscape in the Indo-Pacific and Taiwan's evolving role within it.How does Taiwan assess the current deterrence environment amid intensifying PLA activity and hybrid pressure from Beijing? Where are the biggest opportunities, and remaining obstacles, in United States–Taiwan defense, economic, and technological partnership? And as Taiwan advances major modernization efforts, from asymmetric defense to cyber resilience and semiconductor security, what should Washington understand about the capabilities, priorities, and challenges shaping Taiwan's strategic future?@jamil_n_jaffer@nottvjessjonesLike what we're doing here?

As part of our crossover series of Fault Lines and CTRL+F, “Modern Deterrence: Allies, Innovation, and the Future of Defense,” recorded live at the Reagan National Defense Forum, Jess and Jamil sit down with Washington Harbour Partners Founder and Chief Investment Officer Mina Faltas - with a surprise appearance from NSI Advisory Board Member and Silverado Policy Accelerator co-founder Dmitri Alperovitch. Together, they explore how private capital, technological innovation, and strategic competition are reshaping the future of American and allied deterrence. How are investors evaluating risk in an era defined by U.S.–China rivalry, hybrid conflict, and accelerating breakthroughs in technology? What role should private capital play in national security, and where is the market still mispricing geopolitical and regulatory risk? And as cyber and space become more central to modern conflict, how can the U.S. and its allies strengthen resilience and build the next generation of deterrence?@NotTVJessJones@jamil_n_jafferLike what we're doing here?

As part of our crossover series of Fault Lines and CTRL+F, “Modern Deterrence: Allies, Innovation, and the Future of Defense,” recorded live at the Reagan National Defense Forum, Jamil, Morgan, and Jess discuss the Trump Administration's newly released National Security Strategy. They break down the major pillars of the strategy, from the administration's call for “peace through strength” and its renewed emphasis on economic security, reindustrialization, and energy dominance, to its focus on burden-shifting with allies, deterring adversaries, and reasserting U.S. primacy in key regions, including the Western Hemisphere, the Indo-Pacific, and Europe.What does this strategy signal about the Trump Administration's priorities heading into 2026? How does it reshape America's approach to allies, competitors, and emerging technologies? And what does it reveal, explicitly and implicitly, about the administration's theory of deterrence in an age defined by simultaneous regional crises and great-power rivalry?Check out these sources that helped shape our fellows' discussions: https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/2025-National-Security-Strategy.pdf@morganlroach@jamil_n_jaffer@nottvjessjonesLike what we're doing here?

Today, Jess, Jamil, Les, and Amy dig into the latest round of U.S.-Russia peace talks after Vladimir Putin spent nearly five hours behind closed doors with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. No breakthrough occurred, but the stakes keep rising: Putin says Russia is “ready” for a conflict with Europe, Ukraine is grappling with corruption scandals and the resignation of Zelenskyy's chief of staff, Sudan is offering Moscow a Red Sea naval base, and the Senate's sanctions bill is still stalled.Did anything new actually from the talks? What should we make of the economic incentives reportedly being floated in some of these negotiations?

Today, Les, Jamil, Morgan, and Jess discuss rising tensions around Venezuela, where the U.S. has surged military assets into the region after months of striking drug-running vessels, and President Trump is set to meet with his cabinet tonight to decide next steps. Reports suggest an ultimatum may have been delivered to Nicolás Maduro over the weekend. One early U.S. strike is now under bipartisan scrutiny after allegations that American forces fired on survivors—prompting both Armed Services Committees to open investigations into the legality and authorities behind current operations.What are the administration's strategic aims, and is the U.S. prepared for the consequences of the largest Western military buildup in the Caribbean since 1994? How will Congress' stepped-up oversight shape the administration's options? And with a streamlined NSC structure and an administration leaning into ambiguity, does this campaign reflect a coherent strategy—or a high-risk pressure play designed to keep allies and adversaries off balance?Check out these sources that helped shape our fellows' discussions: https://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/world/americas/venezuela/article313261442.html https://stories.theconversation.com/tracking-the-us-military-in-the-caribbean/ @lestermunson@jamil_n_jaffer@morganlroach@nottvjessjonesLike what we're doing here?

In this fascinating episode, we sit down with Dr. Jamil Bayram, an ER physician, who has researched the origins of Levantine dialects, to uncover the deep historical layers embedded in the way we speak today. From the ancient shores of the Phoenicians to the bustling streets of Beirut, Damascus, Haifa, and Amman, our modern Levantine dialect carries echoes of civilizations that shaped the identity, culture, and sound of the region. Together, we explore: - What the Phoenician language really was and what we actually know about it - How Levantine dialect evolved and why it differs so markedly from other Arabic dialects - Words, expressions, and grammatical structures that may have Phoenician roots - How linguists reconstruct ancient languages and detect “linguistic DNA” - The core arguments and surprising findings from Dr. Bayram's upcoming book This episode is a deep dive into history, linguistics, identity, and culture, an exploration of how a language can carry the memory of thousands of years.

Depuis la chute du régime de Bachar el-Assad, un groupe de femmes tentent de faire survivre l'art traditionnel de la broderie en Syrie. Durant la guerre, la plupart d'entre elles ont été forcées à l'exil ont ont été tuées dans les bombardements. De 1 000, elles sont passées à 80. Ces rescapées essaient de relancer leur business, pour récupérer des fonds et reconstruire leurs villages, ainsi que pour former les nouvelles générations, et que jamais ne se perde cette tradition. Une dizaine de femmes se sont réunies dans une petite salle, un sac plastique à la main. À l'intérieur, des bouts de tissus colorés et des broderies qu'elles ont ces derniers mois fabriqués. Objectif : les vendre dans une galerie à Damas, explique Jamilé, pour faire revivre cet art en perdition. « Sur cette broderie, j'ai dessiné la montagne, l'herbe, et ici le linge suspendu. Au loin, il y a les maisons détruites par la guerre », détaille-t-elle. Comme les autres femmes ici présentes, Wattah, 61 ans, brode les contours de son village. Des dessins qui ont, depuis la guerre, perdus de leurs éclats. « Avant la guerre, nous étions plus sereines. Tout était beau à voir. Les terres verdoyantes, la tempête, les oiseaux... Désormais, notre humeur est plus morose. Même les couleurs que nous utilisons pour broder sont plus déprimantes », soupire-t-elle. Plus moroses, déprimantes, dit-elle, depuis qu'elles ont dû fuir leurs villages. Parmi elles, Um Loaï. Avant la guerre en Syrie, elle supervisait le travail de 200 femmes depuis sa maison, en périphérie d'Alep. Elle rêve aujourd'hui de s'y réinstaller afin de relancer son activité, mais sur place. « Quand je viens ici, c'est dur. Je ressens beaucoup de peine parce que... Regardez. C'est vrai, ce ne sont plus que des ruines, mais ça reste ma maison. Ma propre maison, que j'avais décoré avec l'argent des broderies », montre-t-elle en sanglotant. Partout, des impacts de balles, des murs éventrés... Les traces des années de combat entre le régime et l'armée syrienne libre, et des années d'occupation du groupe État islamique (EI). « Quand je suis arrivée ici pour la toute première fois, j'ai pleuré à chaudes larmes. Les portes avaient été volées, toute la maison avait été pillée », se remémore-t-elle. Sur la terrasse de la maison dans laquelle elle est réfugiée, Um Loaï compte les billets de ses dernières ventes. Aujourd'hui, coûte que coûte, elle et les dernières brodeuses essaient de remonter leur business. « ​​​​​​​On veut reconstruire nos villages. On a déjà installé un système de dessalement de l'eau financé par nos économies et par des dons. On a planté des oliviers sur nos terres et creusé un puits. J'essaie de rassembler à nouveau les filles pour broder. Mais c'est très difficile », confie-t-elle. À la tête de cette petite entreprise, il y a une Allemande, Heike Weber, tombée d'amour pour la broderie syrienne dans les années 1980. Depuis Damas, elle supervise le travail des dernières brodeuses et collectionne les pièces pour les vendre une à une. « Maintenant, elles sont assises entre quatre murs, sans lumière. La plupart de leurs maisons sont très sombres. L'inspiration de leur environnement, c'est très important pour créer. Si elles ne peuvent pas retourner dans leur village, je pense que tout cela va mourir », redoute-t-elle. Demain, Heike Weber recevra de nouvelles femmes pour leur apprendre la broderie. Pour que tout cela ne meure pas et que la tradition perdure.  À lire aussiReconstruction de la Syrie: une opération à 216 milliards de dollars, selon la Banque mondiale

His work contributes to ongoing discussions about who gets to be seen and who doesn't and the power of visual storytelling as a form of resistance.Hellu earned his MFA in Art Practice from Stanford University and has exhibited widely. His work has been discussed in publications such as The New York Times, The Guardian, Artforum, and VICE.

Today, Les, Jamil, Morgan, and Jess unpack new revelations about the 28-point Ukraine peace proposal. Over the weekend several senators went to the press and announced that Secretary of State Rubio had told them the plan was drafted originally by Russians. The White House attempted to walk that back, saying it was a U.S. plan that incorporated Russian ideas, but the concessions it outlines for Ukraine have reinforced suspicions about its true authorship. Has the plan moved talks forward, or revealed how week Washington's leverage really is? Can Zelensky navigate between maintaining U.S. support and avoiding a deal that rewards Russian aggression? And with President Trump pushing for progress, are we on the path toward a ceasefire–or simply watching the opening moves of a long and messy negotiation?Check out these sources that helped shape our fellows' discussions: https://www.axios.com/2025/11/20/trump-ukraine-peace-plan-28-points-russia https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-war-peace-plan-europe-witkoff-33545b140c5bfbbc5e9061a739802e54 https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cly1ypqlle0o @lestermunson@nottvjessjones@morganlroach@jamil_n_jafferLike what we're doing here?

Today, Jess, Jamil, Les, and Morgan break down the Trump Administration's new 28-point peace plan for Ukraine — a proposal that would cap Ukraine's military size, cede territory to Russia, redirect frozen Russian assets toward reconstruction, and ban future NATO membership. Moscow's envoy praised the plan, Kyiv says it plans on discussing it with the White House, and European allies and some Congressional members express alarm over the terms.Is this the beginning of the end of the war, or a diplomatic dead end? What does the proposal signal about the White House's larger Ukraine-Russia strategy? Does this proposal reward Russian aggression and risk legitimizing invasion as a negotiating tool?Check out these sources that helped shape our fellows' discussions: https://www.axios.com/2025/11/20/trump-ukraine-peace-plan-28-points-russia https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-war-peace-plan-europe-witkoff-33545b140c5bfbbc5e9061a739802e54 https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cly1ypqlle0o @nottvjessjones@morganlroach@jamil_n_jaffer@lestermunsonLike what we're doing here?

Today, Morgan, Jamil, Matt, and Jess unpack Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's high-profile visit to Washington, his first since the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, and a landmark $1 trillion investment announcement alongside a U.S. agreement to sell the Kingdom F-35 fighter jets. The visit, including a business summit at the Kennedy Center, underscores Saudi Arabia's growing economic and strategic importance to the United States.As President Trump deepens ties with Riyadh and pushes for Saudi normalization with Israel through the Abraham Accords, is this a pragmatic step toward regional stability — or a transactional bet with long-term risks? Can trade and tech cooperation truly build a new Middle Eastern “NATO,” or is Washington gambling on partnerships that could prove fragile?@morganlroach@jamil_n_jaffer@nottvjessjones@WMattHaydenLike what we're doing here?

Today, Les, Jamil, Morgan, and Jess break from the usual policy deep-dives for a special episode: a review of A House of Dynamite, the new 90-minute Netflix thriller that imagines a nuclear missile headed straight for the United States. The film unfolds through three overlapping vantage points—a Navy captain running the White House Situation Room, a deputy national security advisor suddenly thrust into a life-or-death decision cycle, and a Secretary of Defense guiding a president portrayed by Idris Elba. With standout performances from Jared Harris, Rebecca Ferguson, and newcomer Gabriel Basso, the movie blends high-stakes crisis response with surprisingly grounded depictions of how the U.S. government might react in the unthinkable scenario of an inbound nuclear strike.How realistic is Hollywood's take on nuclear command and control? Which perspective offers the most credible view of how the system actually works? And what does the film get right—or wrong—about the speed, uncertainty, and pressure of decision-making when minutes determine national survival?@lestermunson@jamil_n_jaffer@nottvjessjones@morganlroachLike what we're doing here?

Today, Morgan, Jamil, Les, and Jess discuss the Trump administration's deployment of the USS Gerald R. Ford carrier strike group to the Caribbean as part of its intensified campaign against Latin American drug cartels. The move dramatically expands U.S. presence in the U.S. Southern Command's area of operations—with destroyers, F-35 fighters, and Reaper drones joining the effort—and has drawn a fierce response from Venezuela's Maduro regime, which launched its own military exercises in protest.What's Washington's real objective here, countering narcotics networks or signaling to Caracas? And if most fentanyl traffics through land routes via Mexico, not by sea, is this deployment really about fighting the drug trade, or about projecting power closer to Venezuela's shores? As regional partners like Colombia and the UK distance themselves from the mission, is this bold strategy a show of deterrence—or a costly display of overkill?Check out this source that helped shape our fellows' discussion: @morganlroach@lestermunson@nottvjessjones@jamil_n_jafferLike what we're doing here?

Today, Les, Jamil, and Jess discuss the Trump administration's successful effort to delay a major vote at the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the UN body that oversees global shipping regulations. The proposal would have taxed vessels based on carbon emissions, with revenues funneled to the UN. The U.S. opposed the measure, warning it would raise shipping fuel costs and threaten to worsen inflation at home. After intense U.S. lobbying—described by some as bullying—the IMO voted to postpone the plan.Was this coercion or simply hardball diplomacy? Should the UN, through the IMO, have the authority to levy global taxes in the first place? And as the administration frames its push as economic self-defense, does this signal a broader rejection of multilateral climate measures that Washington sees as bad for business?Check out this souce that helped shape our fellows' discussion: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/climate/trump-climate-international-bullying.html @lestermunson@nottvjessjones@jamil_n_jafferLike what we're doing here?

Today, Les, Jamil, Morgan, and Andrew discuss President Trump's latest statement that U.S. troops may be sent to Nigeria to confront what he described as terrorists targeting Christians. The post sparked immediate controversy, with some analysts noting the Administration may be conflating two distinct conflicts: sectarian violence between Fulani herders and Christian farmers, and the extremist insurgencies of Boko Haram and the Islamic State in West Africa. President Tinubu has said he would welcome U.S. security assistance, but the situation on the ground—and Washington's strategy—remain deeply unclear.Is the Trump administration misdiagnosing Nigeria's complex conflict? What would an American military intervention look like, especially after the U.S. was expelled from Niger and pulled back counterterrorism operations across the Sahel? And with terrorist groups resurging in West Africa and Russia's Africa Corps expanding its footprint, can the U.S. afford to stay disengaged or is it about to overcorrect?@lestermunson@morganlroach@jamil_n_jaffer@andrewboreneLike what we're doing here?

Mamileiros e mamiletes, hoje a conversa é com um dos jornalistas brasileiros mais respeitados no cenário internacional. Jamil Chade construiu uma carreira cobrindo a ONU, crises humanitárias, política internacional e os dilemas da democracia no mundo. E é justamente sobre democracia que ele nos convida a refletir em seu novo livro Tomara que você seja deportado. Nessa obra, Jamil mistura distopia, memória e análise política para criar um alerta: os Estados Unidos, que por tanto tempo foram vistos como referência democrática, vivem hoje um processo acelerado de erosão institucional e avanço autoritário. A partir de exemplos que vão da pobreza crescente à manipulação algorítmica, da guerra cultural à tentativa de reescrever a história, ele mostra como o populismo de extrema direita transformou linguagem em arma e a política em campo de batalha simbólico. Mas esse não é apenas um livro sobre os EUA. É também um espelho (e um aviso) para todos os países que se veem diante das mesmas tensões. O que acontece lá tem muito a dizer sobre nós. Então prepara o coração e a mente, porque hoje vamos falar sobre distopia, democracia e resistência, na companhia de Jamil Chade. ----- Anuncie no Mamilos ou contrate a consultoria Milos: mamilos@mamilos.me Saiba mais em Mamilos.me
