How many stories died with our grandparents because we didn't ask in time? In this Bro History segment, we get personal: a 1950s interfaith marriage (Methodist → Catholic conversion), Irish/Polish/Ukrainian roots, Puerto Rican and Palestinian family lines, language barriers, Alzheimer's, and the regrets that come with unanswered questions. We talk about identity across faiths and borders, what we'd ask our grandparents today—from the Naqba to Cold War escapes—and why you should call yours now. TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – 1950s taboo?

In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin: Ukraine says it's cracked the case of the drones harassing northern Europe. According to Kyiv, they're not being launched from an airbase—but from Russia's secretive shadow fleet of oil tankers at sea. Later in the show—U.S. envoys are in Egypt to finalize the Gaza ceasefire agreement, with mounting pressure on both Israel and Hamas to seal the deal.

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, during a contentious appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Attorney General Pam Bondi deflected when grilled by Sen. Dick Durbin about the legal rationale for the deployment of National Guard Troops to Chicago saying "if you loved Chicago as much as you hate President Trump, you wouldn't have these problems". Also Dick Durbin releases false information about ICE agent raids, a newly released CIA report details Ukranian officials were left “bewildered and disappointed” by Vice President Joe Biden's December 2015 trip to Kyiv, during which he gave a speech decrying corruption as a “cancer” — with the Ukrainians accusing the US of a “double standard” given Biden's family ties to corrupt energy firm Burisma and emphasizing the corruption of the Russian hoax.

Fr. George Drance, SJ, is a great example of the fact that Jesuits can do and be anything. Fr. George is a theatre artist, which, in his case, encompasses acting on the stage, directing, teaching acting classes at Fordham University in New York, and writing and adapting his own shows. He's also the artistic director for the Magis Theatre Company, which he founded. His work takes him all over the world: he has performed and directed in more than 25 countries on five continents. This past summer, Fr. George's work took him to his ancestral homeland: Ukraine. Ukraine, of course, has been facing wartime conditions since 2014, and the full-scale invasion of the country Russia launched in February 2022 has disrupted or destroyed countless lives. In that context, Fr. George visited a former Fordham student of his who is now living in the city of Kyiv and running an experimental theatre company there. Fr. George ran a workshop with Ukrainian actors and was involved in some performances in the city. Host Mike Jordan Laskey asked him to talk about the experience of doing theatre in a war-torn land and why he thinks it's so vital to keep making art in a world that's on fire. It was a powerful conversation about his experiences in Ukraine and the inspiring artists he met there who are bringing beauty within a heartbreaking, enraging situation.

2025-10-08 | Silicon Wafers 023 | DAILY UPDATES | Russia is running short of fuel — both at the pumps for civilians and in supply lines for its war machine. Ukraine's escalating long-range strikes, many using its own domestically made weapons, are intensifying pressure. How serious is the crisis? Why Tomahawks are politically powerful but not the only threat, and how Ukraine's Flamingo missiles, drones, and refinery raids are already inflicting real damage. With winter approaching, how vulnerable is Moscow's energy grid and economy that has been retooled for war?Fuel running out — on the ground in Russia. The cracks are showing across Russia, Putin's fake empire. In multiple regions, gas stations are limiting volume per vehicle; fuel is scarce, queues are long, and prices are climbing. (Kyiv Post: “Putin's Gasoline Crisis Spreads: Sales Now Restricted in 4 Regions”) (Kyiv Post)Meduza, a Russian dissident publication, offers stark visuals: stations closed, pumps dry, drivers holding empty jerrycans. (Meduza) In fact, filling jerry cans is now banned in many of the worst affected areas. One station in Tyumen limits sales to 30 litres per car. (Kyiv Post)In Crimea, occupation authorities cut gasoline sales to 20 litres per customer, enforce price caps, and stations simply turn off pumps when they can't fulfil orders.

Edition No251 | 07-10-2025 - “Happy Birthday, Mr. Putin — Ukraine's Gift to the Dictator, Long-Range Strikes.” A birthday present for Vladimir Putin, Ukrainian style — deep-strike drone operations timed to his birthday. We'll unpack the symbolism of this move, the military mechanics behind it, and what it suggests about escalation, deterrence, Kremlin overreach and Ukrainian strength.The Kyiv Post headline is vivid: “On Putin's birthday, Ukraine launched a 209-drone strike deep into Russia” (Kyiv Post). This birthday present had teeth and quite a bite. * Overnight, Ukraine launched 209 drones targeting deep Russian territory. (Kyiv Post)* The strike allegedly reached Tyumen, over 2,000 km from the border. The target: an oil refinery (the Antipinsky facility) in Tyumen.* Moscow claimed it intercepted 184 drones overnight; others say those numbers may be inflated. (Russian MoD claims)* Local Telegram channels in Tyumen reported explosions, fire trucks, emergency response. ----------This is super important.

Day 1,322Today, we examine the escalating conflict in Ukraine after another night of bombardments, looking at the potential impact of US Tomahawk missiles if supplied to Kyiv, along with new Western weapons innovations shaping the battlefield. We also discuss another mysterious death in Moscow and what it reveals about the power struggles inside Russia. Finally, we explore whether the post-World War II reconstruction of Germany offers a realistic blueprint for rebuilding Ukraine once the war ends.Contributors:Dominic Nicholls (Associate Editor of Defence). @DomNicholls on X.Francis Dearnley (Executive Editor for Audio). @FrancisDearnley on X.With thanks to historian Dr Thomas Clausen. @DrThomasClausen on X.BOOK NOW: 'UKRAINE: THE LATEST' LIVE, IN-PERSON:Join us for an in-person discussion and Q&A at the distinguished Honourable Artillery Company in London on 22nd October at 7pm.Our panel includes General Sir Richard Barrons, former head of UK Joint Forces Command and latterly one of the authors of Britain's Strategic Defence Review, and Orysia Lutsevych, head of the Ukraine Forum at the Chatham House think tank.

2025-10-07 | Silicon Wafers 022 | DAILY UPDATES | Today we dig into Vladimir Putin's latest Valdai address in Sochi, the ominous threats he's issuing toward Europe, and what it all says about a Kremlin that may be overreaching — doubling down in delusion, preparing for more direct confrontation. We'll tie together his rhetoric, Medvedev's inflammatory commentary, the creeping hybrid assaults across NATO space, and the question: when might threatening words give way to kinetic action?The Valdai Discussion Club is the Kremlin's preferred stage for strategic and PR theatre — a hybrid of salon, power speech, foreign policy signaling – one of the few fixtures that has lasted near annually throughout Putin's reign. It's as much internal as external. (The Valdai forum has been described as “a swanky high-level conference put on by the Russian elite” and often dubbed the Kremlin's answer to Davos) (Wikipedia)At his latest Valdai plenary in Sochi, Putin walked a balancing line: denying any intent to attack NATO, while condemning Europe for “escalating militarization.” (The Guardian)“We are closely monitoring the escalating militarization of Europe … We simply cannot ignore what is happening. We have no right to do so for reasons of our own security.” (The Guardian)“I think no one doubts that Russia's countermeasures will not be long in coming.” (The Guardian)----------Partner on this video: KYIV OF MINE Watch the trailer now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arJUcE1rxY0'Kyiv of Mine' is a documentary series about Ukraine's beautiful capital, Kyiv.

[This is one of the finalists in the 2025 review contest, written by an ACX reader who will remain anonymous until after voting is done. I'll be posting about one of these a week for several months. When you've read them all, I'll ask you to vote for a favorite, so remember which ones you liked] You Can Just Do Things In the winter of 2022 I was unhappily working at a dull but decently compensated IT job, which I had come upon at last after four years of phoning it in at college and abandoning my brief stint as an MMA Fighter/Porn Store Security Guard due to feeling like I was getting too old to be broke. If pressure to fit in with my yuppie, family-and-career-having peers pushed me into corporate life, the depressing mundanity of Covid-era day-to-day pushed me out just as quickly. On February 24th, 2022, Russia began its full scale invasion, and America learned what a “Ukraine” was. Having long used politics as a surrogate activity to distract myself from my life of chronic underachievement, I was already a little more familiar than most with the country's woes, and had followed the conflict from the time of the Euromaidan protests. Years before I had read of the likes of Azov and its many foreign volunteers, and had even periodically fantasized about dropping everything and going to the Donetsk Airport. But no, that Wasn't The Type Of Thing Normal People Like Me Did, so instead I joined my own country's armed forces, sat around pushing papers, earned the dubious honor of washing out “ahead of schedule”, and finally graduated college with a not very useful degree and a mediocre GPA. With the invasion however, things changed. Before I had always vaguely felt that I would eventually end up doing something “cool”, and had soothed myself with reassurances that I was still in the “early life” section of my future Wikipedia article and would bide my time before I made my play at greatness. Now however, the unrealisticness of this conceit was thrown into uncomfortably sharp relief by a certain contrast I could not not ignore. Only three days after the start of the full scale invasion, Ukrainian foreign minister Dymytro Kuleba announced the creation of the “International Legion For The Territorial Defense Of Ukraine”. Unlike in 2014, Ukraine was now specifically and officially soliciting foreigners with military experience to fight for them! I was at least technically in that category! I thought about my own time in the military. My ideas of going to war in Afghanistan had been quashed by the US withdrawal not long after I joined, and I had quickly found that military life involved more editing forms in Adobe Acrobat and less explosions than I had naively supposed. But this was a real war, a deadly serious war, and a major, world defining event at that. In the early months of the invasion the international media talked about almost nothing else. I spent all day at my desk pretending to work while frantically refreshing OSINT live maps and breathlessly following news from the front. I remember the circulation of harrowing video clips. Kalashnikovs being distributed to civilians in Kyiv, the mayor of a small village publicly asking its inhabitants whether they should personally accede to Russian ultimatums, or risk having their property destroyed and lives forfeit- to resounding cries of “Glory to Ukraine”. The Ukrainians' courage blew my mind. There were people who really had something to die for, and by extension something to live for. Meanwhile, there I was, sipping coffee and getting fat. The creation of the legion felt like destiny was reaching its hand out to me. Was I really going to ignore it so I could handle support tickets for the rest of my life? https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/your-review-the-russo-ukrainian-war  

2025-10-05 | Silicon Wafers 020 | DAILY UPDATES | The last 48 hours has seen savage strikes by Russia against Ukraine. They coincide with the annual Valdai press event, which can hardly be a coincidence, but they also smack of desperation. It seems that Russia is taking its vengeance on civilians for its failure to breakthrough on the battlefield. Russian strikes have impacted across Kyiv, Lviv, Sumy, and more. The civilian suffering is horrific, the infrastructure wreckage widespread. How should Ukraine respond, especially when winter looms and its energy grid is under renewed assault?The Night of Fire: Russia's Massive Strikes Across Ukraine. Let's begin with what just happened. Over the night of October 4–5, 2025, Russia launched what Ukrainian officials say was one of the largest combined drone-missile barrages yet — roughly 50 missiles and about 500 attack drones. (AP News) The targets: 9 regions across Ukraine, including Lviv, Zaporizhzhia, Ivano-Frankivsk, Chernihiv, Kherson, Kharkiv, Odesa, plus Sumy and Kyiv's periphery.

Mike Pompeo, former Secretary of State and CIA Director, Fox News Contributor, and author of Never Give an Inch: Fighting for the America I Love, joined The Guy Benson Show today for a wide-ranging conversation on foreign policy and national security. Pompeo weighed in on President Trump's pitched plan to end the conflict in Gaza, along with his brand new Sunday ultimatum, arguing the proposal offers the best hope for Gazans, Palestinians, and Israel, even though Hamas may never abandon its terrorist mindset. Sec. Pompeo also addressed the troubling rise of global antisemitism, including an attack in the UK on Yom Kippur, before turning to the war in Ukraine and the growing intelligence partnership between Washington and Kyiv that is enabling strikes deep inside Russian territory. Pompeo and Benson also detailed the CCP's foiled effort to target New York City's cell grid, as well as the potential TikTok deal that could finally force Beijing to relinquish control of the platform's algorithm, a development that would help quell many national security fears.

2025-10-02 | Silicon Wafers 017 | Today's episode focuses on a blistering new front of the war in Ukraine — energy warfare inside Russia — and what this means for Putin's war machine and his regime. We'll walk through four interlinked stories:1. Ukraine's strikes on Russian refineries and the fuel shock inside Russia2. Russia's pivot to Asian gasoline imports as its refining base crumbles3. Trump's green-light for U.S. intelligence sharing aimed at Russian energy targets4. What all this reveals about Putin's war, domestic repression, and regime brittleness. Ukraine's strikes on Russian refineries: fuel lines, export bans, price shockFor four years, Ukraine's military campaign has largely focused on military sites — barracks, command posts, supply lines. But in recent weeks, a new vector has burst into view: the decapitation of Russia's refining and fuel infrastructure.According to the Kyiv Independent, “Ukraine's sustained campaign of strikes on refineries is now causing havoc at gas stations in Russia and occupied Crimea, with prices skyrocketing and short-term shortages widely reported.” (Karol Luczka, Oct. 1, 2025) (The Kyiv Independent)----------Partner on this video: KYIV OF MINE Watch the trailer now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arJUcE1rxY0'Kyiv of Mine' is a documentary series about Ukraine's beautiful capital, Kyiv.

2025-10-03 | Silicon Wafers 018 | DAILY UPDATES | Russia's looming budget crisis. How fuel shortages, collapsing revenues, and war spending are squeezing the Kremlin. Can Putin keep paying his army next year? What happens if he can't? And what do these pressures mean for the broader alliance between China, Russia and Iran. To understand the immediate danger, we need to map how Russia's fiscal model has cracked under war conditions. For years, Moscow has run a heavily militarized economy: energy exports, sanctions arbitrage, deep state control, subsidies, extraction of wealth from occupied territories. That model is fraying.----------Partner on this video: KYIV OF MINE Watch the trailer now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arJUcE1rxY0'Kyiv of Mine' is a documentary series about Ukraine's beautiful capital, Kyiv.

Kenneth “Cruiser” Wilsbach as the next Air Force chief of staff; Russia's continued drone flights over Europe — including from a cargo ship — threats to undersea cables and ever bigger attacks on Ukraine as the White House now says it will provide Ukraine with targeting data to strike deep into Russian territory as some worry the disclosure is more about pressuring Moscow rather than helping Kyiv; Japan and Australia's announcement of deeper defense ties as Tokyo and Canberra worry about US reliability in the region; Washington's strategic pact with Qatar; Europe's “SnapBack” sanctions on Iran; and the president's 21-point plan to end fighting in Gaza. central to which is Hamas laying down its arms.

Roger Moorhouse and Saul David analyze a week of intense combat and high-stakes diplomacy. Russia launched a heavy aerial assault on Ukrainian cities, while in the West, they discuss reports that Trump is a "spurned lover," frustrated by Putin's refusal to strike a peace deal. The hosts also examine the critical power failure at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Plant and the safety risk it poses. Finally, they cover the new European plan for a continent-wide "drone wall" and the controversial debate over holding a wartime election in Ukraine.

Over the last month, there have been multiple violations of NATO airspace by Russian fighter jets and drones most likely launched by Russia. The alliance must now come up with an adequate response to this “probing” by the Kremlin and develop a sensible strategy to prevent future violations—while managing the risk of escalation. What is the Kremlin trying to achieve? How prepared is NATO to face this challenge, and what would an effective mitigation strategy look like? How will this new dynamic impact the war in Ukraine and the level of European support for Kyiv?

Day 1,316.Today, as fears are sounded over the state of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, we hear how Princess Anne has made a surprise visit to Kyiv to “demonstrate solidarity” with Ukrainian children and families affected by the conflict.

2025-10-01 | Silicon Wafers 016 | DAILY UPDATES | Lately, there's been a flood of voices in Russian circles admitting that things on the front are nowhere near as rosy as state television makes them out to be. Complaints about high casualties, poor equipment, and a shortage of manpower are everywhere. And crucially, aside from the most die-hard propagandists, almost everyone admits that victory in this war is now out of reach.Dmitry Rogozin—former head of Roscosmos, now commander of the “Bars Sarmat” drone unit and still carrying shrapnel in his backside—recently gave a strikingly gloomy interview. He declared bluntly that the front is at a dead end. He admitted Russia has no chance of winning with its current methods, and that Ukraine's armed forces are ahead in many critical areas. His words are worth looking at carefully. ----------Partner on this video: KYIV OF MINE Watch the trailer now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arJUcE1rxY0'Kyiv of Mine' is a documentary series about Ukraine's beautiful capital, Kyiv.

Edition No250 | 01-10-2025 - There has been a dramatic maritime showdown involving a grey fleet oil tanker, with shocking implications for Russia's hybrid warfare in Western Europe's backyard. French forces have just boarded a tanker tied to Russia's “shadow fleet,” suspected of launching drones over Denmark. Moscow fired back, calling the move “provocative.” We'll trace how these fits into a larger pattern: drone incursions, hybrid escalation, and Russia's threats towards Europe.Let's start with the facts as they're known. In late September 2025, multiple drone incursions over Danish airspace triggered disruptions at airports in Copenhagen and Aalborg. The flights were mysterious, unauthorized, and widely suspected to be part of a hybrid operation by Russia, though Moscow denied direct involvement. (Le Monde.fr)Around October 1, French authorities moved in. The oil tanker known as Boracay (formerly Pushpa among other aliases) — flagged under Benin but with opaque ownership ties — was boarded by French military personnel off the coast near Saint-Nazaire. (The Guardian)Two senior crew members — the captain and first mate — were arrested. The Brest prosecutor's office confirmed the investigation is ongoing, citing “very serious wrongdoings,” including refusal to cooperate and failure to justify the ship's nationality.

The Third World War we warned about feels closer at hand than the last time we spoke, and deterrent actions that could have been taken were largely ignored. We're now in a rerun of the cold war, but this time it's much hotter, there are no rules to bound and limit the offensive actions of Russia, and it no longer seems to care whether we think of it as a barbarous nation or not. We've left it to five to midnight to act – is it too late to turn the tide, and are we even prepared to act now? ----------Partner on this video: KYIV OF MINE Watch the trailer now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arJUcE1rxY0'Kyiv of Mine' is a documentary series about Ukraine's beautiful capital, Kyiv.

The discussion highlights escalating tensions with Russia, the challenges facing NATO, and the significant threat to European security. Sir Richard underscores the urgent need for Europe to bolster its own defenses in the face of dwindling US support. They discuss the critical importance of supporting Ukraine's war efforts, as well as the potential long-term involvement of China. This episode is a stark reminder of the fragility of democracy and the vital importance of military readiness in an increasingly unstable world.----------

2025-10-30 | Silicon Wafers 015 | DAILY UPDATES | Tonight, the voices from Moscow we prefer not hear from, unless they are prophesying the fall of the Putin regime and doom for the Russian military operation in Ukraine. It's not Western politicians or Ukrainian commanders — but the Kremlin's chorus of hawks, genocidal sycophants, propagandist talk-show stars and death-cult nationalist influencers. Over the past weeks some of those voices have drifted from mumbling out the official script and started to admit what everyone else can see: the war is failing: grindingly slow, costs are stacking up, and successes are thin on the ground.We'll walk through what those propagandists are saying, what some Russian economists quietly admit about the state of the war-economy, and why the rage of nationalist ideologues — Tatyana Montyan, Dmitry Rogozin, Pavel Gubarev, Igor “Strelkov” Girkin and others — matters for the strength of Putin regime. The chorus of discontent and whining is signaling that his grip on power may be brittle and tenuous. What happens when a fascistic regime's loudest cheerleaders turn into resentful critics?----------Autumn Harvest: Silicon Curtain (Goal €22,000)This is super important.

Londinium Chronicles Part 1 Sept 28.mp3 HEADLINE: Reorganizing the Legions: Fortress America, the Corrupt Senate, and the Stranglehold of the Military-Industrial Complex SPEAKERS: Gaius Londinium and Germanicus 200 WORD SUMMARY: The Friends of History Debating Society opens by discussing the panicking temperament of European leadership due to Russian provocations (drones, jamming) and Washington's silence on requests for Tomahawks for Kyiv. They contrast the effective Roman legions—combat units and engineers—with the modern USmilitary, which has "too many generals and too few war fighters." Major changes are anticipated, including a speech by Secretary of Defense Hegseth promoting the theme of "Fortress America" and reorganizing the military to match the needs of an empire. Germanicus argues that the US military needs an overhaul akin to Rome's transition from the Republic, having squandered its post-Cold War strength and now facing powerful rivals like Russia and China, who have adopted new technologies. He notes that the US military is hampered by reliance on 1945 weapon systems (like the heavy bomber). Germanicus believes the military is unwilling to change because the military-industrial complex (MIC), dominated by five defense firms, maintains a powerful stranglehold over procurement and general officers. This results in massive inefficiencies, such as the F-35 program, a trillion-dollar effort with only 10% combat availability. Gaius insists the core problem is the corrupt Senate (Congress), which enables these wasteful contracts and sets priorities like focusing on DEI and climate change over war fighters. 1770 PANTHEON

The conversation continues on the eastern Viking diaspora, noting that the power base of the Rus shifted from Novgorod to Kyiv, forming Kievan Rus. Although early rulers had Norsedescent, they assimilated culturally, blending Scandinavian and Slavic elements; Norse names like Ingvar and Helgabecame Igor and Olga. History is flexible, and competing groups interpret this mixed heritage. A major mystery discussed is the Salme ship burials in Estonia (Saaremaa island), dating around 750 AD, prior to Lindisfarne. The high-status dead, likely Swedish men on a diplomatic mission, died violently but were buried carefully with rich goods, including falcons and a king gaming piece in the mouth of a leader.

Our guest is Julie Smolyansky, CEO of Lifeway Foods, the company that pioneered the kefir market in America and today produces 95% of the kefir sold in the U.S. Julie's story begins in 1976, when her parents immigrated from Kiev ( the former Soviet Union)  to Chicago. Her mother opened a deli, while her father, a mechanical engineer, missed the kefir he had back in the Soviet Union so he started making his own, and from that, Lifeway Foods was born. In 2002, tragedy struck. Julie's father, Michael Smolyansky, died suddenly of a heart attack. At just 27, Julie stepped into the CEO role, becoming the youngest female CEO of a publicly traded company. Under her leadership, Lifeway expanded its product lines and grew internationally. Today, with revenues topping $200 million, Julie has proven herself a powerhouse CEO—while also raising two daughters, running marathons, reading voraciously, and giving back through philanthropy and community leadership. This is the kind of conversation we love: a woman courageously living a full, multidimensional life. In this episode, we cover her parents' immigrant journey, the rise of kefir in America, the science of gut health, and Lifeway's latest innovations, including kefir with collagen and creatine.   This conversation is about courage, resilience, and building a full life. We get into: ✨ Her family's immigrant journey from Kiev to Chicago ✨ How kefir conquered America ✨ The science of gut health ✨ Lifeway's bold new products (yes—kefir with collagen + creatine!)   Check out our website: https://meantforyoupod.com Reach out to us: meantforyoupod@gmail.com Follow us on IG

Edition No249 | 28-09-2025 - Today we turn the spotlight squarely on Russia's propaganda machinery — and how its most vicious threats now extend even to Britain's ancient universities. Solovyov has threatened to wipe out the town where I live in an atomic inferno, for no other reason that we refuse to allow Russia to erase Ukraine from the world map. Perhaps he's also upset he can't get to his Italian villas since 2022. So, Russia's foremost propagandist has threatened to wipe out one of the most ancient seats of learning and civilisation, and by extension threaten to kill me. Apart from the bluster and vicious hatred, it's such utterances that show Russia has fallen far from what could be considered civilisation, civilised language and behaviour, and that no regime hack or representative should be allowed in civilised company, at least for the lifetime of the current regime. That ban should also extend to all the minions and enablers of the regime. We'll explore how that fits into a broader pattern: Russia's imperial ambitions, its civilizational decline, and the accelerating slide in global norms under pressure from China, Russia, and their allies — but also how Ukraine and its global backers confront this – showing that resistance, and a reassertion of civilised values is possible – though it comes at a steep price.We begin — shockingly — with Vladimir Solovyov's threat to bomb Oxford and Cambridge.----------This is super important.

2025-09-28 | Silicon Wafers 013 | DAILY UPDATES | Today's episode energy warfare: how Russia is threatening Ukraine's lights this winter, and for the fourth winter in a row, but this time, Kyiv is also threatening to darken Russia in turn, and with the scaled-up production of the Flamingo missile complex, may have that capability. The contested space over energy production, distribution and export is increasingly central to the war and is an indicator of why the momentum is shifting decisively in favor of Ukraine. We'll walk through:* Russia's stated intention to target Ukraine's energy utilities this winter* Zelenskyy's fiery warning that if Kyiv goes dark, Moscow might too* The rising strike capabilities of Ukraine (Flamingo, long-range drones)* The vulnerabilities of Russia's energy network — civilian, export, transit* Recent Ukrainian attacks on Russian energy facilities* The growing seriousness among allies to disrupt Russia's “grey fleet” oil tankers----------Autumn Harvest: Silicon Curtain (Goal €22,000)This is super important.

The war in Ukraine has entered a dangerous new phase, with Russia sending bigger, more powerful drone attacks across the border nearly every day. Gone are the tanks, columns of troops, and heavy artillery from the early days of Moscow's full-scale invasion. Now, tens of thousands of drones swarm Ukraine's skies at any given moment. Christopher Miller, chief Ukraine correspondent at the Financial Times, joins Ian Bremmer on the GZERO World Podcast to discuss the war's evolution from a conventional land invasion into a high-tech war of attrition dominated by drones. Artificial intelligence, drones, all types of unmanned vehicles are being used to wage war alongside traditional tanks and artillery. Civilians in Ukraine's cities are under constant threat from aerial attacks, sheltering in subways and bomb shelters every night. Despite immense resilience, Ukraine's people are getting exhausted and the country is running out of manpower. How long can Ukraine hold out? Is a diplomatic ceasefire at all a possibility?Host: Ian BremmerGuest: Christopher Miller   Subscribe to the GZERO World with Ian Bremmer Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred podcast platform, to receive new episodes as soon as they're published.

President Trump has said Kyiv can 'win all of Ukraine back in its original form', marking a major shift in his position on the war with Russia. His comments came after talks with the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York. Also: a super typhoon is heading towards the southern Chinese coast, where hundreds of thousands of people have been evacuated. We hear from Somalia's President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, who says he's survived attempts on his life and is a target of Al-Shabaab, an Islamist group affiliated to Al-Qaeda. And, one of the greats of Italian cinema, Claudia Cardinale, has died at the age of 87. We look back at her life. The Global News Podcast brings you the breaking news you need to hear, as it happens.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: Following his sit-down with President Zelensky at the U.N., President Trump appears to have completely reversed course on Ukraine—declaring it may be possible for Kyiv to reclaim all its lost ground. Later in the show—the Secret Service takes down a rogue telecom network that threatened New York during the U.N. General Assembly. Plus—it's a showdown between Washington and Sacramento: DHS calls California's new ban on masked law enforcement agents unconstitutional and says it won't comply.
