Captīvus līberātus Richardus Grenell, lēgātus Americānus, nūntiāvit sē Iōsēphum St. Clair, cīvem Americānum quem Venetiolānī vinculīs ā mēnse Novembrī tenuerant, in Americam reduxisse.

Coniūrātī in Ceirum Starmer In Britanniā duo hominēs, Rōmānus Lavynovych Ūcrāīnēnsis et Stanislaus Capiuc Romāniānus in occidentālī Ūcrāīnā nātus, reī sunt cōniūrātiōnis adversum Ceirum Starmer: nam tria incendia fēcērunt in locīs, ubi Ceirus Starmer, minister prīmārius Britannōrum, ōlim habitāverat. Incertum est, ob quam causam illī incendia fēcerint.

Magistrātūs autem Gallōrum negant id, quod Pavelus Durov, praefectus societātī Tēlegrammatī dictae, cūius ope hominēs clam atque ēlectronicē colloquuntur, accūsāvit, vidēlicet ā suīs speculātōribus postulātum esse, ut Tēlegramma arcēret hominēs dextrārum partium, quōminus dē rē politicā Rōmāniānōrum colloquerentur. Sed, cum rumor illīus postulātiōnis ortus esset, Simiōn dīxit sē rogātūrum esse ut iūdicēs, quī priōra comitia abrogāvissent propter rumōrem, quō Russī per TikTok comitia clam aggressī esse putābantur, etiam novissima comitia abrogārent propter similem rumōrem, quō Gallī per Tēlegramma comitia clam aggressī esse putābantur.

#Actualidad #GuerraDeUcrania #geopolítica 30/4/225 En esta edición de Frente de Batalla con Anfisa Motora, José María Rodríguez y Francisco García Campa, abordamos una revelación histórica y una coyuntura geopolítica crítica. Corea del Norte reconoce oficialmente la participación de sus tropas en la batalla de Kursk. Analizamos las claves de esta sorprendente afirmación del régimen de Kim Jong-un: ▶️ ¿Qué papel real jugaron los combatientes coreanos en el Frente Oriental? ▶️ ¿Por qué Pyongyang decide hacer pública esta narrativa en plena guerra en Ucrania? 100 días de Trump: la política exterior del nuevo gabinete estadounidense pone en tensión las relaciones transatlánticas. ▶️ ¿Está abandonando Washington a sus aliados europeos? ▶️ ¿Qué implicaciones tiene este giro estratégico en el equilibrio global? Además: Posible ofensiva rusa del "Día de la Victoria" La situación táctica en el Donbás: Ucrania mantiene sus líneas, refuerza su defensa antiaérea y resiste bajo presión constante. ▶️ ¿Estamos ante un cambio de doctrina militar rusa hacia una guerra total? ▶️ ¿Hasta dónde puede resistir Ucrania sin apoyo aéreo occidental directo? Todo esto y más, con el análisis riguroso y sin concesiones de Frente de Batalla.

C dans l'air du 28 avril 2025 - Trump / Zelensky : ce qu'ils se sont dit...Vladimir Poutine a annoncé ce lundi un cessez-le-feu sur le front en Ukraine du 8 au 10 mai, à l'occasion des 80 ans de la victoire contre l'Allemagne nazie, tout en prévenant que Moscou répliquera "en cas de violation" par Kiev de cette trêve. "À partir de minuit entre le 7 et le 8 mai, et jusqu'à minuit entre le 10 et le 11 mai, la partie russe annonce un cessez-le-feu", a indiqué le Kremlin dans un communiqué. "En cas de violation du cessez-le-feu par la partie ukrainienne, les forces armées russes fourniront une réponse adéquate et efficace", a-t-il ajouté. Parallèlement, le chef de la diplomatie russe, Sergueï Lavrov, a posé, comme condition – à toute discussion – avec Kiev la reconnaissance par la communauté internationale de l'annexion russe de la Crimée et d'autres régions ukrainiennes. Ces déclarations surviennent au moment où les négociations sur l'Ukraine entrent dans une "semaine cruciale" selon Washington. La veille le président américain avait exhorté son homologue russe avec qui il a effectué un rapprochement spectaculaire depuis son retour à la Maison-Blanche, d'"arrêter de tirer". "Asseyez-vous et signez l'accord", avait déclaré dimanche soir Donald Trump sur le tarmac de l'aéroport de Morristown, à Bedminster, dans le New Jersey. Dans le même temps, Donald Trump avait estimé que Volodymyr Zelensky était prêt à céder sur le sujet de la Crimée, annexée illégalement par la Russie en 2014. "Je pense que oui. La Crimée, c'était il y a douze ans", a-t-il affirmé, en réponse à la question de savoir s'il pensait que Volodymyr Zelensky, avec qui il s'est entretenu samedi en marge des obsèques du pape François au Vatican, était prêt à "abandonner" ce territoire.Même si Kiev s'est jusqu'ici refusé à l'idée d'abandonner la péninsule et à faire des concessions territoriales, Washington continue à avancer cette possibilité comme prémices à un plan de paix avec Moscou, largement défavorable à Kiev. Dans une interview accordée au magazine Time, Donald Trump a également une fois de plus accusé Kiev d'avoir déclenché la guerre, citant ses ambitions de rejoindre l'Otan et indiquant : "La Crimée restera sous la domination de la Russie". Le plan de paix, selon les projets de l'administration américaine, comprendrait également un gel avec la ligne de front. Une nouvelle fois, Washington fait donc preuve d'un biais pro-Poutine flagrant, avec des arrière-pensées économiques puisque les États-Unis se disent prêts à lever les sanctions contre la Russie : à savoir reprendre le business. Côté russe, la Crimée représente le trophée que Vladimir Poutine voudrait pouvoir brandir le 9 mai prochain, pour le 80eme anniversaire de la victoire de l'Armée rouge dans la grande guerre patriotique. Inacceptable jusqu'à présent pour Kiev pour qui la Crimée est, comme pour Moscou, un enjeu aussi bien stratégique que symbolique. Alors le président des États-Unis qui souffle le chaud et le froid entend-il forcer la main de son homologue ukrainien ? Qu'en pensent les Européens ? Si l'Ukraine veut poursuivre la guerre sans le soutien américain, que fera l'Europe ? Enfin alors que la Corée du Nord a confirmé avoir envoyé des forces armées en Ukraine, avec pas moins de 14 000 soldats nord-coréens mais aussi des millions de munitions, quelle est la puissance militaire de l'armée de Kim Jong-un ? Que sait-on du déploiement des troupes nord-coréennes aux côtés des Russes ? Et quelle est la situation sur le front ?Nous avons rencontré des soldats ukrainiens qui reviennent du front.LES EXPERTS : - FRÉDÉRIC ENCEL - Docteur en géopolitique- Sciences Po Paris, auteur de La guerre mondiale n'aura pas lieu- JAMES ANDRÉ - Grand reporter - France 24- MARIE JÉGO - Journaliste spécialiste de la Russie - Le Monde - ALAIN PIROT - Journaliste spécialiste des questions de défense

¡Todos nos acordamos de la saga de Mad Max! Un Mundo distópico en el que la gasolina valía más que el agua, la comida…e incluso que la vida de una persona. La pregunta es, ¿de verdad se va a acabar el petróleo? ¿Cuándo? ¿Esteremos preparados? ¿Son la solución los coches eléctricos? … lo llevas claro. Muchas preguntas…a las que vamos a responder… aunque no os gusten las respuestas. ¡Tranquilos! En este vídeo vais a encontrar las respuestas… algunas que a lo mejor no os gustan…. Voy a daros una mala noticia, sobre todo a los “electrohead”: Si piensas que los coches eléctricos son la solución para acabar con la dependencia del petróleo, lo llevas claro, como os decía al comenzar. Un estudio del Energy Institute, una agrupación internacional de ingenieros y expertos en energía dice que, en 2023, último año con estadísticas cerradas, el 82 por ciento de la energía provenía de combustible fósiles. Eso incluye petróleo, por supuesto, un 32 por ciento, gas natural, que no sé si lo esperabas, y alucina, un ¡27 por ciento! del carbón. Sí, en pleno Siglo XXI seguimos quemando carbón para producir electricidad. Y todo ese carbón se utiliza para producir la “limpia” energía eléctrica que mueve nuestros “limpios” coches eléctricos… recordad que, en China, donde se producen el 80 por ciento de las baterías de coches, fabricación que demanda mucha energía, más del 70 por ciento de la electricidad se produce quemando carbón… ¡toma ya ecología! Un dato resumen: Aproximadamente el 75 por ciento de la electricidad producida en el Mundo procede de combustibles fósiles y la mayor parte del petróleo… Así que si se acaba el petróleo… tu coche eléctrico no sé si te servirá de mucho. Pero… ¿cuándo se va a terminar el petróleo? Pocas preguntas generan tanta controversia, porque hay datos de todo tipo. Pero, tranquilos, he buscado y encontrado datos fiables. Te doy una buena noticia: Nunca hemos tenido tanto petróleo como ahora. ¿Cómo es posible? ¿Es que el petróleo se “reproduce”? Obviamente, no. Esta afirmación quiere decir que nunca hemos tenido tantos yacimientos localizados y económicamente viables como ahora. Entre otras cosas porque el avance de la tecnología permite localizar mejor estos yacimientos y hacer rentable su extracción. ¿Sabías que el primer productor de petróleo del Mundo son los EE.UU. de Norteamérica? Casi doblan al segundo, que es Arabia Saudí. En 2021 hablamos de 18,6 barriles de petróleo contra 10,82. Pero podrían producir más… lo que sucede es que les sale más barato importar… pero si el precio sube, yacimientos que ahora no son rentables, lo serían… y los USA podrían incrementar notablemente la producción. Termino otra vez con un dato resumen: Si tenemos en cuenta el aumento de la demanda, el incremento de otras energías alternativas, como la nuclear o las sostenibles y la totalidad de las reservas de petróleo conocidas, en explotación o en reserva, se puede decir que nos queda petróleo para más o menos unos 100 años… Y es que el problema no es que se acabe, el problema es otro: Que lo podamos pagar, porque el petróleo no para de subir, más fruto del incremento de la demanda que de su escasez. Desde el fin de la Segunda Guerra Mundial hasta hoy, ha multiplicado por 50 su precio… pero no, no te asustes, esta cifra no es real. Y os recuerdo algo: Siempre que pensamos en el petróleo pensamos en combustibles… pues te equivocas. Del petróleo se extraen muchos tipos de combustibles, gasolina, diésel y queroseno entre ellos, pero también asfaltos para nuestras calles y carreteras, fertilizantes, pesticidas, lubricantes, incluso componentes para productos de belleza y, ¡muy importante! todo tipo de plásticos. Así que el riesgo no es que se acabe el petróleo, sino que suban los precios. Y ¿estamos preparados? ¿Qué pasaría si subiesen desorbitadamente los precios? Así que nos vamos al futuro… no se ha acabado el petróleo, pero ha multiplicado su precio por 10… no nos hace falta una guerra nuclear, solo un loco poniendo aranceles disparatados, cargándose el mercado mundial, para producir un efecto así… ¿Qué sucedería? Por supuesto la gasolina estaría por las nubes, y nacería un “mercado negro”. Pero es que también la energía eléctrica estaría por las nubes, con lo cual se restringiría de forma brutal el alumbrado en las ciudades… viviríamos en ciudades oscuras, semilla ideal para la delincuencia… El consumo eléctrico sería un lujo… encenderíamos la luz lo justo… adiós a tener un armario a temperaturas bajo cero, que es lo que es un frigorífico. ¿Te gusta la cerveza caliente? Más vale que te acostumbres. El transporte sería muy caro y los viajes en coche se reducirían y en avión… solo para ricos… como era en los años 60. Nuestras ciudades se llenarían de bicicletas, como muchas ciudades del llamado “tercer mundo” … que es en lo que se convertirían la mayor parte de los países. Un mundo hostil, agobiante, triste… … que no vas a vivir. Porque, salvo que Putin, Kim Jong-un, Trump o algunos de estos locos la lie, esto no es que vaya a pasar en un siglo… es que no pasará. ¿Por qué? Porque el estudio del progreso técnico a lo largo de la historia demuestra de forma fehaciente que la tecnología avanza de forma exponencial. El hombre tardo siglos en dominar el fuego, siglos en inventar la ruedas… y ahora en pocas décadas se producen cambios increíbles. Conclusión. La imagen quimérica de un coche eléctrico rodeado de hojitas verdes, hoy por hoy, es una falacia. Pero la imagen distópica de un Mundo sin energía o con la energía a precios prohibitivos, salvo como digo desastres imprevistos, es también falsa. Y en todo caso, si llega, ni a ti a mí nos va a pillar… por muy joven que seas.

Een groepje van 200 sporters van over de hele wereld liep mee met de marathon van Pyongyang, de hoofdstad van Noord-Korea. Voor de coronapandemie kwamen er duizenden toeristen per jaar in de dictatuur van Kim Jong-un. Maar de afgelopen 6 jaar bleven de grenzen dicht. Tot nu. In Podcast De Dag een reisverslag van Gijs die meedeed aan de marathon en vervolgens nog een paar dagen met gids door Pyongyang trok. Van tevoren was hij best bang iets fout te doen: een krantje met het hoofd van leider Kim Jong-un erop mocht bijvoorbeeld niet gevouwen worden. Dus sleepte Gijs die krant ongekreukt de halve dag mee tot hij in zijn hotelkamer was. Maar die spanning verdwijnt snel door het contact met de mensen. Vooral de gesprekken met de gids blijven hem bij. Maar wat heeft dit kleine groepje toeristen gezien van Noord-Korea? Volgens journalist en Koreakenner Casper van der Veen slechts de showroom van het regime. De onderdrukking, de strafkampen en de armoede blijven allemaal buiten beeld voor buitenstaanders. Noord-Korea is heel gesloten en invloed van buitenaf wordt vakkundig weggehouden bij de eigen bevolking. Wat heeft Noord-Korea dan aan het toerisme? Reageren?

In the chaos of Kuala Lumpur's bustling airport, a man clutching his face collapsed into whispers and mystery. These were North Korean's Kim Jong-nam's final moments (Kim Jon-un's half brother). Two women, gloved and unwitting, vanished into the crowd, their poison leaving a trail of unanswered questions across borders. Behind closed doors, a regime's secrets simmered, but the truth, like the assailants, dissolved into the fog of espionage and denial.

VOV1 - Triều Tiên đã thử nghiệm thành công hệ thống tên lửa phòng không mới nhất, vừa được đưa vào sản xuất hàng loạt, dưới sự giám sát của nhà lãnh đạo Kim Jong-un. Cuộc thử nghiệm chứng minh khả năng phản ứng nhanh trong chiến đấu của tên lửa là "có lợi thế" và "độ tin cậy cao".

Es difícil saber si las lideresas de Podemos y sus adláteres saben el significado histórico del término señor de la guerra. Es posible que hayan visto la película de ficción protagonizada por Nicolas Cage sobre un traficante de armas ruso. Todo el mundo recuerda el fervor de Pablo Iglesias por «Juego de Tronos», aunque para ese modelo de política sórdida y criminal no hay mejor referencia que la Unión Soviética y el comunismo en todos los países en los que se ha implantado. Nunca entenderé que alguien se pueda denominar comunista, porque es una de las ideologías más abyectas, liberticidas y criminales de la Historia. Belarra, en uno de esos gestos ingeniosos siguiendo al gurú Iglesias, aseguró que Sánchez «se ha convertido por méritos propios en un señor de la guerra» y criticó que se duplique el gasto militar, ya que es «un aumento sin precedentes en los próximos tres años». En esto es una mala comunista, porque a los comunistas siempre les gusta tener un ejército poderoso. No olvidemos que Putin, al igual que Xi Jinping o Kim Jong-un, son comunistas de manual, aunque adaptados al siglo XXI.

This week Matt brings the lads the thrilling conclusion of an impossibly obscure cinema saga! Kim Jong-il holds the stars of South Korea film royalty in captivity in a bid to boost the silver screen output of the most sinister regime on earth, while our estranged stars dream of an escape! What happens next?? Be forewarned: harsh descriptions of prison torture contained herein! 

This week Matt brings the first part of the history of film on BOTH sides of the demilitarized zone in Korea! We hear the struggle of South Korean actress Choi Eun-hee and her oddball producer husband Shin Sang-ok and how their meteoric rise in cinema success led them to catch the eye of a secret cinephile - Kim Jong-il?? 

Back Home, One week later.By FinalStand. Listen to the Podcast at Explicit Novels.There is something worse than waking up and not knowing where you are: you could wake up and not know who you are.Note: World Events Stuff ~ aka Why things are happening in Cáel's lifeThe phone was from Iskender. His boss, Oyuun Tömörbaatar (OT), the former UN ambassador from Kazakhstan and now the informal and unrecognized UN representative and chief diplomat of the Khanate to the same august body, wanted to talk with me, immediately. OT wasn't being diplomatic at the moment, that would come later.{Now this is going to get convoluted}Any inquiries to the Khanate that didn't also include immediate official recognition of the Khanate currently were being steered my (and Hana's) way. For all the behind closed doors crap, he had me, his loyal ass-monkey mutton-head. I held faint hope that this latest meeting would work out to my benefit. For the meeting, I traveled light, only Naomi (the Amazon) and Chaz (British SRR) watched over me.Now fathers who know me, hide their daughters. I'd earned my 'scoundrel' reputation. T. Sarangerel, OT's daughter, was in the room when Iskender ushered me in. She gave me an uncertain look, I shrugged and she smiled. It took me 3 nano seconds to figure that out, OT was scoping me out as a potential son-in-law. I was in Temujin's Inner Circle and a man who he trusted (a rarity). Any union with me would strengthen OT's clan's standing in the new regime.The genetic footprint Temujin, and his immediate family collectively, had put down in the 13th and 14th centuries CE today was vast. He needed that to make his plans for the internal reorganization of the Khanate work. The old republics would go away, to be replaced by a system akin to the Byzantine 'themes, the re-organization of regions based on the recruitment of the Tumens.The Khanate was aiming for an 'Autocratic Republic' ~ a term invented in the 19th century. My use of this terminology was based on my gut instinct, Alal's host of memories involving every form of governance, and my experience with human nature. That clued me in to what Temujin was up to, his Greater Plan. He wasn't going to form a false-front government. He was going to retain the decision-making powers and do so openly, thus 'Autocratic'.He also planned to have a bicameral legislative branch. The Upper House would be based in Tumens and bureaucratic leadership, intellectual standing, religious sects, and tribal entities. This body would be based on merit, not primogeniture. The Lower, main chamber, would be a democratically-elected assembly (aka a democratic republic) that advised him on policy matters, thus 'Republic'.All the power would remain in the Great Khan's hands and would be exercised by his genetic descendants (which some geneticists estimated as being as high as 25% of the Central Asian population.) Marrying into that extended family would be easy, the 'family' itself would have a vested interesting in supporting a state that benefited them.Men and women could exercise power in the government through marriage alliances, identical to the manner Hana was working through me. Being surrounded by very populous countries in various states of belligerence, empowering women wouldn't be an issue since every willing mind and pair of hands mattered. Outsiders who shone through could be offered a spouse and brought into the ruling elite since polygamy was permissible.In the Khanate there would be universal compulsive suffrage (everyone 18+ was legally required to vote) to decide on the representatives in the new legislative body. Everyone was expected to fight, so everyone voted. It would be modeled on the Duma of early 20th century Imperial Russia. Unlike the ill-fated Tsar Nicholas II, Temujin would be much more attentive to the voice of the people, in the Information Age, he had to.Or so I hoped. I spewed forth my ideas to OT who didn't agree, or disagree with my vision. Perhaps Temujin and I did share a bond that went beyond obligation. OT then pulled a 'Pamela'."He told me he knew immediately you were his brother when you and I shared that vision," he commented out of nowhere."His words: You (Earth and Sky) are the old. He (meaning me) is the new. He (me again) will show us the way." My, that was nice, obtuse and not at all helpful. What did OT want? My good buddy, the Great Khan, wanted to cash in on Hana's and my sudden popularity. His most pressing need remained 'time'. He needed to have a cease-fire in the wings when his offensive resumed the next day.The Earth and Sky had moved, well, the Heaven and Earth to get the Tumens and their accompanying national armies up and running after only a two day respite. Thanks to me, Manchuria was a mess. The Russians had carried out my 'Operation: Funhouse' with mixed, mostly positive results.Dozens of smaller Chinese military police units along the border went, 'inactive' was the term most often used in the media. They didn't disarm, yet they didn't fight the Russians either. They sat back and let events unfold. The issue wasn't the Chinese's willingness to fight and die for their country. It was the schizophrenic government in Beijing.The PRC didn't want to wage a war with the Russian Federation at that moment. The Khanate was the priority. There were two fundamentally incompatible courses of action favored for dealing with the Russians:One large group advocated a passive Option A: let the Russians step in and shield the three remaining provinces making up Manchuria that were still in Chinese possession. Later, China would use military, economic and political means to edge the Russians out, once the Khanate was dealt with.A sizable faction favored a more aggressive Option B: play a game of chicken with Vladimir Putin. Tell the Bear not to come across the border while threatening him with a bloody and pointless (for him) guerilla war if he did intervene. Events on the ground were not providing a lot of support for that school of thought,However, this split at the highest levels of leadership left the local and regional commanders to try and muddle through as best they could. To the local commanders defending the Amur River side of the Chinese-Russian border, common sense dictated that they not oppose the Russian crossings, because the Russian 35th Army would kill them.All their military units had gone west to the Nen River line. With no heavy weapons and little air support, the People's Armed Police (PAP) (paramilitary) and the Public Security Bureau (regular police) units would be wiped out for little gain.Russia's GRU (Military Intelligence) sweetened the pot by allowing the police units to remain armed and in formation. It could be argued that they weren't even committing treason. At any time, they could throw themselves into the battle, or form the core of a resistance movement. 'Conserving your strength' had been a hallmark of the Communist Chinese struggle against the Imperial Japanese and Nationalists forces from the 1920's until 1945 and it had served them well.For the party officials, civil authorities and the People's Liberation Army (PLA), Army Air Force (PLAAF), and Army Navy (PLAN) who had gone with Option B, things weren't working out. In the north of Heilongjiang province at Morin Dawa/the Nen River line, the regional commander of the ad hoc forces facing the Khanate decided to duke it out with the Russian 36th Army as well. He was boned from the get-go.The PLAAF's overall command and control had been badly disrupted in the first few hours of The Unification War and had never fully recovered. Of the 22 air regiments that the PLAAF had started the war with in the Shenyang Military District (NE China), only 5 remained as effective formations flying, on average, a meager 20% of their original complement of advanced Shenyang J-16's, J-11's, Chengdu J-10's and Xian JH-7's aircraft.Replacing their aircraft losses meant sending up aged Shenyang J-8's (rolled out in 1980) and Nanchang Q-5's (in 1970) to fly and die in droves fighting their technologically superior Khanate foes. To add insult to injury, China's fleet of 97 Su-30MKK/MK2's (built in Russia) had suffered numerous suspicious mechanical and electronic failures, rendering them either flying coffins, or space holders in bomb-proof shelters.Furthermore, of the forces arrayed in the far north, only two of the five air regiments were responding. Two of the other three had begun displacing south into the Beijing Military District and preparing to defend the capital city. The fifth formation had another problem, North Korea (, more on that later.)In opposition to those two Chinese air regiments (roughly 60 aircraft of mixed types) stood seven complete and fresh Russian air regiments (over 400 front-line aircraft) and that didn't include the regiment and elements of the Far East Naval Aviation which was ALSO watching North Korea (, again more on that later.) The latter was of small comfort to the forces trying to hold the already compromised Nen River line.Behind those valiant troops, along the much more defensible Amur River line, the commander of the key city of Heihe sided with the Option A group and let the Russian 35th Army cross the river unopposed. By the time the PLA commanding general of the 'Nen Force' (the 69th Motorized Division and the subordinate 7th Reserve Division) figured that out, he was already in a shooting war with the Russians. So his supply lines weren't in danger, they were lost.The final indignity took place at Zalantun. The commander of the 3rd Reserve Div. had died during the attempt to recapture Zalantun. His replacement died when his helicopter was shot down as he was coming to assume command. In the absence of these officers, the divisional chief of staff told his men, including two hastily hustled forward mechanized brigades, to put down their arms. That meant 'Nen Force' was completely cut-off and surrounded.One battalion of the 36th Russian Motorized Brigade (yes, too many 36's running around) disarmed the Chinese troops while the rest, plus the 74th Independent Motorized Brigade raced for the prize, the city of Qiqihar. The last major mechanized formation of the 36th Rus. Army, the 39th MB was following them. However, instead of manning Qiqihar's defenses, the Chinese garrison in that city was waging war on its own populace.It wasn't only in Qiqihar; chaos reigned throughout Heilongjiang province. The Provincial Head of the Communist Party, Wang Xiankui, supported Option A. The Provincial Governor, Lu Hao, went with Option B. Both figures were rising stars in the PRC. Wang had ordered the still forming Reserve Divisions and the PAP units to disperse, thus avoiding any untimely confrontations with the Russians.Lu, without consulting Wang, ordered the same forces to launch a violent crackdown on all dissident forces, specifically all racial minorities. (It turned out that Lu was also a member of the Seven Pillars and his witch-hunt was aimed at getting the Earth and Sky organization operating in Heilongjiang).For the men and women on the other end of those phone conversations, there was no 'right' answer. Lest we forget, their organizations were already degraded by the Anthrax outbreak. Both men were powerful and represented China's future leadership, so if the person in charge at the ground level obeyed the wrong one, they could be assured of being roasted by the other.Some did try to do both, repress and disband at the same time. That meant that in the process of making mass arrests among an already war-fearful and plague-fearful populace, the law enforcement infrastructure began disintegrating.The problem with Lu's/7P's plan was that there was no 'revolutionary' organization to round up. That wasn't how the Earth and Sky operated in North-East China. They remained in tiny sabotage and reconnaissance cells. While they were scurrying for cover from the police crackdown, an opportunity presented itself.The afflicted minorities were getting furious with their treatment. These minorities saw themselves as loyal Chinese, yet they were being dragged out into the streets, put in detentions centers and (in a few cases) summarily executed. Being less than 10% of the overall population, resistance had never crossed their minds. It seemed all that those defenseless people could do was pray for Russian intervention forces to arrive.Within that mix of fear, betrayal and rage, the E and S discovered a way to start the dominos falling. The small, well-armed and well-trained E and S cells began ambushing police detachments. Weapons from those dead men and women were turned over to the pissed off locals before the cell went off to stalk the next police unit.Wash, rinse and repeat. It became a perverse and bloody case of wish fulfillment. Lu and the 7P's had been looking for an insurrection and they started one. Even though a miniscule portion of the population was involved, from the outside looking in, it reinforced the Putin Public Affairs initiative that portrayed Putin (and his army) as coming in to restore order to a collapsing civil system, which he was helping disrupt.From Moscow, the PRC's indecisiveness looked like Manna from Heaven. For the massive numbers of Russian soldiers riding through the Manchurian countryside, it felt like they were rolling into Arkham Asylum. Unlike the NATO countries' professional armies, Russia remained a largely conscript force whose normal term of service was only one year. These unseasoned troops could never tell if the local military, military police and police would attack until they rolled up on the Chinese units.At the start of that Day One of Operation: Funhouse, the Russian ROE (Rules of Engagement) was 'Ask and Verify'. It was tactically advantageous for the belligerent Chinese forces to lie about their intentions, then begin shooting at the Russians when they got close enough to hurt them. By Day Two, the standard front-line Russian soldier had adjusted that ROE to 'if they look at us wrong, light their asses up'. By Day Three, the officers had stopped trying to enforce Moscow's ROE orders.That was fine for the combat and rear echelon support troops because both the Chinese and Russian governments had another series of problems and they all centered around Pyongyang and Kim Jong-un's declaration that North Korea would intervene as well, without letting anyone know who he was 'intervening' against. To keep everyone guessing, the North Korean' People's Army was massing on all three borders, facing off with the PRC, Russia and South Korea. To prove his diplomatic intentions, Kim pledged to only mobilize half of his reserves, merely 4,250,000 extra men and women to go with his 950,000 strong standing army.It didn't take a military, or economic genius to realize the North Korean's chronically 'near death' economy was stampeding off a cliff. The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) was in the middle of an oil crisis and Kim was increasing their fuel consumption by 400% while decreasing his workforce by 10%. To put it in perspective, the US unemployment was around 6%. Now imagine that in one week's time it would become 26%. One week, no severance packages. Would the population become unsettled?But wait, it gets better. The Secret War was colliding with the Real World in more places than Manchuria. Setting aside the assassination attempt (Grrr) of Hana Sulkanen, my fiancée, six Nipponese elders (two women and four men) appeared in the personal quarters of the Japanese Prime Minister on the first full night of 'Funhouse' and relayed their urgent requests.Those six were the Head of the Six (formerly Seven) Ninja Families and they were there at, my urging. Cause I'm an idiot and requiring the deaths of Romanians in my personal crusade obviously wasn't enough. Now I was asking the Japanese Defense Forces (JDF) to pony up as well. So take a deep breath and put on the hip-waders.You might be wondering why I would want the JDF, see, there was part of Operation: Funhouse that was hitting a predictable snag, namely the Korea People's Navy Force (KPNF) and the uncertain determination of the PLAN:The KPNF's vessels were rather old, small and crappy. They also had a love affair with anything that could launch a torpedo and they listed over 700 of these floating deathtraps (only 13 of which could be classified as surface warships) and the fanatical crews to take them into battle.The PLAN's numbers were far more realistic and the fleet generally more modern. Only their North (18 surface warships) and East Fleets (22 plus 5 'elsewhere') could play any role in an upcoming FUBAR, and both fleets were heading out to sea, mainly to avoid the sporadic, but increasingly effective Khanate air strikes.The FU to be BAR'ed was the Russian Far East Fleet (RFEF) (6 warships strong, ) that had seized on this crazy idea (per my suggestion) to sail south, around the Korean peninsula so they could land elements of the 55th Guards Red Banner Marine Brigade (the 165th Marine Regiment and the 180th Marine Tank Battalion).Theoretically they were going to be the 'Southern Shielding Force' that would interpose itself between the Khanate and Beijing. It should surprise no one that the RFEF's flotilla was unequal to the task of taking their destination, the port of Qinhuangdao, by amphibious assault. Fortunately for the Gods of War (which did not include me), there were five other navies involved.Meanwhile, South Korea was having kittens because their always crazy northern kin were slathering on the insanity. (In how many Buddhist countries do people flock to the temples and pray that their neighbor attacks someone, anyone else, but them? That wasn't a religious conundrum I wanted to deal with.) N.Korea mobilizing meant S.Korea had to mobilize, which sucked down on their GNP as well.Besides, N.Korean dams and coal-powered plants kept the lights on in Seoul. Erring on the side of caution, the S. Korea (aka Republic of Korea, ROK) Army suggested calling up only one million of their three million person reserve force in order to assure Cousin Kim that this was a purely defensive gesture. It didn't work. Kim Jong-un castigated the ROK for antagonizing him, despite his declaration that he 'might' feel like invading the South in the immediate future.Into the emerging crisis, the ROK Navy could sortie nineteen small surface ships. Japan's Navy wasn't up to its old imperial standards, but could still deploy 45 surface warships. The 800 lb. gorilla in the room was the core of the 7th Fleet stationed at Yokosuka, Japan, the USS carrier George Washington and her 14 escort vessels.If the George Washington was the gorilla, RIMPAC 2014 was King Kong. 22 nations, 50 ships, including the USS carrier Ronald Reagan were engaged in war games in the Central Pacific. With them were 5 vessels of the PLAN, had Kim Jong-un just kept his mouth shut, this wouldn't have been an issue. Hell, if the Khanate had not come into existence and launched its Unification War, but he had and they did,To show the US was taking this escalation seriously (without tipping their hand that they knew about Funhouse, Carrier Strike Group One (CSG 1) (the Carl Vinson +10) was rushing across the Pacific from San Diego. CSG 3 (the John C. Stennis +2) was being assembled hastily so that they could rendezvous with CSG 1 ASAP. So many brave souls running toward the danger, sometimes I hate myself.So now does it make sense that I found myself in a room with a US Senator tasked with riding herd on me?Anyway, there were the other three navies still unaccounted for, Taiwan / the Republic of China (ROC) (22 surface ships), Vietnam (7) and the Philippines (3). Taiwanese involvement was easy to explain, the PRC refused to acknowledge them as an independent country and probably never would.The Vietnam People's Navy was tiny in both numbers and tonnage. Five of the vessels were 1960's Soviet frigates. What Vietnam did have was a huge grudge against the PRC. The PLA invaded Vietnam in 1979 and devastated the northernmost provinces, killing as many as 100,000 civilians.The PLAN had walloped the VPN in 1974 (technically South Vietnam) and again in 1988. Out in the South China Sea were two island archipelagos; the Paracel (occupied by a small PLA garrison and claimed by the PRC, Vietnam and the ROC) and Spratlys Islands (disputed by Brunei, Malaysia, Philippines, the PRC, the ROC, and Vietnam).The Philippines had a grand total of three frigates (all between 50 and 70 years old). 99% of the time, they faced a hopeless struggle enforcing Philippines' South China Sea claims, except they were now experiencing that 1% where the PRC found itself in a life and death struggle. Even then, the PLAN's South Sea Fleet was hands-down the biggest player with 26 surface warships centered on the Carrier Liaoning.Except (and there always seems to be an 'except') virtually all the PLAN's naval aviation had gone off to fight the Khanate and it wasn't coming back, ever. In the air, the Philippines was next to useless. What did they have of offer in the struggle for the South China Sea? Bases. The ROC and Vietnam had much more to bring to the table.The Vietnamese People's Liberation Air Force (VPLAR) had about 50 front-line aircraft and 175 nearly obsolete models ~ the same models the PLAAF was now piloting. The ROC Air Force could put up 325 almost-new fighters that were now superior to their opponents on the mainland. Why would I give a shit?Things cascade. The Khanate Air Force took a two-day long deep breath as Putin's 'Policeman that only looks like an invading army' started their intervention. Forty-eight hours later, the Khanate started the fourth stage (the first lunge, defeat the PLA's counter-attack then the second lunge) of the campaign.Their initial air power was still skating on thin ice where maintenance was concerned. They need more time to thoroughly rest their pilots and bring all their top-flight equipment to 100% working condition. Against them, in two days the PLAAF's assets increased by over 250 fighters.In turn, the Khanate had added their constituent state air forces plus nearly 80 new cutting edge air planes and 25 drones. Phase Four saw rolling airstrikes all along the forces massing in front of the northern and central Tumens. For a few hours, the PLA thought they knew what was going on.They were wrong and this was where my meeting with OT came in. Jab with the right, cut them down with the left. The left in my case was Tibet. Yeah, Tibet. Economic value = not nearly enough. From the very start of the war, a small number of seemingly inconsequential air strikes had seriously eroded the PLA and PLAAFs combat power in the Tibetan Plateau while leaving the roads, bridges and towns intact.Common military logic dictated that the Khanate had to punch their way further east into Qinghai (to the south) and Gansu (to the north) provinces. That was where the population and industry where. Farther east were even greater numbers of people and factories and the Khanate forces in the North hadn't been strong enough to threaten to cut off the Qinghai-Gansu front. Then the Russians showed up and the Khanate forces threatening that flank doubled overnight.The PLA hastily reinforced their northern flank, using troops from their strategic reserves. The move resulted in incredible attrition by airpower to the freshly equipped formations. The PLA was about to get flanked, but not from the north. Southwest of Qinghai was Tibet. A third of the Khanate's mobile forces now swept around in a huge left haymaker to the south.My job? I needed the 'Free Tibet' forces in the US and UK to provide public and moral support to the Khanate move. As Khanate Special Forces seized crucial bottlenecks in Tibet, they needed the locals to keep their 'liberators' informed of PLA presences and undermine any attempt to create a guerilla movement.The five Tumens dedicated to being the Schwerpunkt (point of maximum effort) of this flanking maneuver were going to be on a tight timetable if they were going to surround the PLA forces in Central China.My plan was to convince the Tibetans that the PRC's 55 years of occupation was coming to an end and the Great Khan wanted to sign a 'Treaty of Mutual Respect' (my invention). This would require both the Khanate and Tibet to recognize each other's right to exist the moment a cease-fire was reached. That was it. No 'armed presence', or 'mutual defense' agreements.The treaty would be formally signed in Lhasa, the Tibetan capital, when the city was safe ~ as determined by the Central Tibetan Administration (the Tibetan Government in Exile, CTA). Riki came up with an additional sweetener and proved she was quickly adjusting to our group's extra-governmental capabilities.

In Brussel en München kwam de nieuwe Amerikaanse regering afgelopen week met haar geopolitieke 'real stuff'. Europeanen hapten naar adem of voelden zich geschoffeerd. Maar nog het meest opmerkelijk was de incoherentie van de boodschappen die Trumps gezanten lieten horen. Wilde Donald Trump dit bewust zo: verwarring zaaien en iedereen op het verkeerde been zetten? En moeten we niet oppassen met al te makkelijke historische analogieën die - bij al deze ophef - München als plek dreigt op te roepen? Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger lopen daarom de signalen en de verwarring nog eens scherp langs. ***Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

Hij vergoelijkte een reeks capitulaties voor Vladimir Poetin omdat er nu eenmaal een eind moet komen aan al het bloedvergieten en iets anders ‘onrealistisch' zou zijn. Trump wilde wel bemiddelen en als Europa meer garanties wilde geven aan Kyiv, dan moest het dat dat zelf maar regelen. Trump deed precies hetzelfde bij allerlei andere conflicten waar hij tijdens Trump I al vanaf wilde. Eenzijdige stappen buiten zijn bondgenoten om zagen we ook in Afghanistan met de Taliban, in Syrië met ISIS en met het regime van Kim Jong-un. Maar het Kremlin kon nog meer oogsten. Nog voordat de ‘vredesdialoog' was begonnen. Sancties tegen Rusland vindt Trump maar vervelend zaken doen. En hij wil Poetin zelfs weer laten deelnemen aan de G8. Hiermee wordt het Kremlin vrijwel meteen na de zwaarste geopolitieke nederlaag in 25 jaar - de val van Assad - door Washington weer op het schild gehesen.Wat betreft Oekraïne waren de signalen onhelder. Het uitsluiten van NAVO-lidmaatschap bleek ineens toch weer niet zó categorisch. En wilde de president nu mét of zonder Kyiv en Europa onderhandelen met Poetin? Trump zag wel kans op een vette deal waarbij hij 50% van de kostbare Oekraïense kritieke grondstoffen wil reserveren voor Amerika.Alsof de verwarring niet voldoende was, lanceerde Trump vanachter zijn bureau in het Oval Office opeens een veel verder gaande strategie. Hij wil met XI Jinping en Poetin een geopolitiek akkoord sluiten, buiten alle andere naties en organisaties om – met een halvering van de militaire uitgaven en drastische vermindering van kernwapens.Minstens zo opvallend was de lange reeks actuele conflictpunten die genegeerd werd. Het inlijven van NAVO-lidstaat Canada, het annexeren van Groenland, de dreiging met 'tariffs', de effecten van Poetins nederlaag in Syrië, diens allianties met Iran en Noord Korea, niets hiervan werd door Trumps afgevaardigden op de agenda gezet. Wat wél gebeurde was minstens zo eigenaardig. Vicepresident JD Vance kwam met een speech die nergens raakte aan de geopolitieke uitdagingen aan het Westen. Hij kwam met twee boodschappen: Europa moest het niet wagen Big Tech aan banden te leggen en Musks politieke acties pro ten faveure van extreemrechts werden hartelijk bijgevallen. Dit schoffeerde zijn gastheren zozeer dat hij de Europese mogendheden in elkaars armen joeg.Kortom, het is allemaal 'disruptief' en Trump wil in deze chaos bewust buiten de bestaande allianties om zijn eigen plan trekken. Precies zoals hij deed bij Kim en de Taliban. En zoals hij bij Gaza van plan lijkt. Waar lijkt dit op, in historische blik? Nee, niet op München 1938. Wellicht meer op het Congres van Wenen in 1815. Maar de meest pakkende analogie komt uit 1772. De Eerste Poolse Deling. Met Friedrich der Große van Pruisen als 'Trump de Bemiddelaar' en Catharina de Grote als veroveraar van Oekraïne.***Verder luisteren476 – Trump II en de gevolgen voor Europa en de NAVO481 - Donald Trumps nieuwe idool William McKinley, ‘de tarievenkoning'475 – Trumps rolmodel Andrew Jackson455 - De bufferstaat als historische - maar ongewenste - oplossing voor Oekraïne447 - Als Trump wint staat Europa er alleen voor427 - Europa wordt een grootmacht en daar moeten we het over hebben413 - "Eensgezind kunnen we elke tegenstander aan."

Mon ami Kim Jong-un, c'est une bande dessinée sur le parcours du dictateur nord-coréen écrite par… une Sud-Coréenne. Éditée chez Futuropolis, cette BD dresse le portrait de ce que l'on sait sur l'un des plus jeunes dirigeants de la planète. Figure mystérieuse et fascinante, despote sanguinaire, simple enfant héritier d'une lourde dynastie, la dessinatrice Keum Suk Gendry-Kim livre un récit contrasté de cette figure incontournable, au cœur du conflit qui divise la péninsule coréenne depuis plus de 70 ans.   À lire aussiCorée du Nord: des badges à l'effigie de Kim Jong-un, une première

In today's fearless episode of The Coop, we welcome the one and only Margaret Cho—comedian, actor, musician, activist, and absolute legend. From crushing stand-up stages at 14 years old, to breaking racial barriers with All-American Girl, to selling out Carnegie Hall, and even playing Kim Jong-il on 30 Rock—Margaret has done it all, and then some.She's Live and Livid on stage these days, and we get into exactly what's fueling her fire—from women's rights to political absurdity to finding joy in the madness. She opens up about sobriety, body image, love, loss, and why she's choosing “situationships” over marriage. And yes, we dig into her famous 12 hours up, 12 hours down sleep practice, how she writes a joke every single day before getting out of bed, and why her mother has an actual prayer group dedicated to finding her a husband (bless her heart).Margaret doesn't just push boundaries—she obliterates them. Whether she's talking about being one of the few women in stand-up in the ‘90s, the sheer injustice of Hollywood's double standards, or why love isn't just for the young and beautiful (the theme behind her new song Lucky Gift), this conversation is as bold as it is soulful—with just the right amount of bite.And because The Coop always leaves you with something to chew on, we'll close it out with a Margaret-ism to live by:“You reap what you sow. So I'm sowing joy.”Or just the life mantra we all need:“Do it. It doesn't have to be good. Just do it.”So y'all, tune in and get ready for a conversation that is sharp-witted, unfiltered, and deeply, beautifully human.

Putin, Kim Jong-un, Daniel Ortega: Wie Autokraten stürzen können, ist vielfältig, sagt Autor Marcel Dirsus. Seine Analyse in seinem Buch "Wie Diktatoren stürzen": Selten sind die Massen auf der Straße ausschlaggebend, eher die eigenen Generäle. Dirsus, Marcel www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, Interview

Accerchiare Vladimir Putin. Dopo aver parlato con Xi Jinping e fatto sapere a Pechino che Cina e Stati Uniti possono andar d'accordo, Donald Trump ha lanciato messaggi distensivi pure al presidente della Corea del Nord, Kim Jong-un. «Vado d'accordo col leader nordcoreano. È un ragazzo intelligente, lo contatterò». L'obiettivo del presidente americano appare chiaro: far sentire il fiato sul collo a Putin.

In his first week back in the White House, Donald Trump has said North Korea is a ‘nuclear power' and described its leader Kim Jong-un as a ‘very smart guy'. The Times' Asia Editor Richard Lloyd Parry explains why that has sparked fears of nuclear proliferation in South Korea, and whether the US president can get the deal with Pyongyang which eluded him in his first term.The World in 10 is the Times' daily podcast dedicated to global security.

Au Royaume-Uni, nous apprenons que de nombreux musées et théâtres sont en danger. Selon les journaux, plus de 500 établissements culturels ont fermé leurs portes depuis l'an 2000, victimes de coupes budgétaires et de sous-financement chronique. La pandémie de Covid-19 n'a fait qu'aggraver une situation déjà précaire, avec de nouvelles difficultés comme la hausse des factures d'énergie ou l'augmentation des charges patronales. Les professionnels du secteur lancent un appel urgent au nouveau gouvernement travailliste pour qu'il investisse massivement afin de sauver ce patrimoine culturel.En Corée du Sud, où la Une de la presse locale est dominée par les tests de missiles balistiques menés par la Corée du Nord. Le régime de Kim Jong-un a en effet procédé à un tir d'essai d'un nouveau missile équipé d'une ogive hypersonique, capable de dépasser la vitesse du son. Selon les informations, ce missile aurait parcouru environ 1500 km avant de s'écraser en mer de l'Est. Une prouesse technique qui inquiète les observateurs, car ce type d'armement pourrait théoriquement atteindre la base américaine de Guam dans le Pacifique.En Égypte, où l'actualité est marquée par la décision de l'Autorité nationale des médias d'interdire l'apparition des voyants et astrologues à la télévision. Bien que la religion occupe une place importante dans la société égyptienne, le marché de la voyance, souvent aux mains de charlatans, attire un large public. Près de la moitié des Égyptiens y croient, selon une étude. Mais le président de l'autorité des médias justifie cette mesure en rappelant le rôle des médias dans la lutte contre l'ignorance.Notre équipe a utilisé un outil d'Intelligence artificielle via les technologies d'Audiomeans© pour accompagner la création de ce contenu écrit.

U.S. authorities arrested dozens of members of the Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua during recent operations in two major American cities.

*) EU weighs suspension of political ties with Israel European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell urges bold action, proposing a suspension of political dialogue with Israel and a ban on imports from illegal settlements. Citing Israel's disregard for international law in Gaza, Borrell calls for decisive measures, set for discussion at next week's Foreign Affairs Council. Israel's war in Gaza — now in its 407th day — has killed at least 43,000 Palestinians and wounded over 103,000, with another 10,000 feared buried under debris. *) Muslim Trump supporters criticise his pro-Israel cabinet picks Muslim Trump supporters voice dismay over his pro-Israel cabinet, labelling it "Zionist overdrive." Picks like Marco Rubio, Mike Huckabee and Elise Stefanik spark backlash among those who helped secure swing state victories. Leaders cite broken peace promises and a tilt toward neo-conservatism. Yet some defend Trump, emphasising his broader peace agenda amid Middle East turmoil. *) Zelenskyy believes Trump can end Russia-Ukraine War Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed optimism that Donald Trump's leadership could hasten the end of the Russia-Ukraine war. Trump, reiterating his "America First" stance, pledged to broker peace, calling for an end to the conflict. Zelenskyy emphasized the need for a just resolution, stressing Ukraine's independence and firm stance in negotiations. *) North Korean leader orders 'mass production' of attack drones North Korea's Kim Jong-un has ordered the mass production of attack drones, escalating tensions in the region. These drones are designed to target both land and sea, raising concerns about potential attacks on South Korea and beyond. This move comes amid increasing military cooperation between North Korea and Russia. Experts believe that North Korea may have acquired drone technology from Russia, which could have implications for the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. *) Brazil takes the lead in global alliance to combat hunger Brazil has taken the lead in forming a global alliance to combat hunger and poverty. The initiative, launched ahead of the G20 summit, aims to lift 500 million people out of poverty by 2030. The alliance brings together wealthy nations, NGOs, and financial institutions to provide financial aid and expertise to countries in need.

Da præsident Putin lander i Nordkoreas hovedstad Pyongyang i juni, bliver han bliver budt velkommen af Nordkoreas leder, Kim Jong-un, til en kæmpemæssig fejring af de to landes venskab. Diktatorerne taler om både handel og udveksling af teknologi, og indgår i en millitæralliance, som muligvis har sendt omkring titusind nordkoreanske soldater til fronten i Ukraine. I dagens afsnit af 'Du lytter til Politiken' fortæller Politikens Asien-korrespondent Sebastian Stryhn Kjeldtoft om, hvordan alliancen mellem Rusland og Nordkorea er større end krigen i Ukraine og kan få konsekvenser for både Sydkorea, NATO og en ny verdensorden.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kim Jong-un og Putin griner hjerteligt til hinanden, imens de på skift styrer en stor, russisk-produceret limousine. Stemningen er også i top, da de senere klapper to snehvide nordkoreanske racehunde og fodrer en eventyrlig hvid hest med gulerødder. De glade scener stammer fra Putins seneste besøg i Nordkorea, og de er et meget godt billede på det varme forhold, der har udviklet sig mellem de to lande, og som lige nu har en mere foruroligende konsekvens. I den her uge bekræftede NATO og Pentagon nemlig rygterne om, at Nordkorea har sendt soldater af kød og blod til Rusland - formentlig for at assistere Rusland i krigen mod Ukraine. I dagens Genstart taler vi med Anna Libak, udlandsredaktør på Weekendavisen, om Kim Jong-un og Putins alliance, som hun mener er del af en meget større alliance, vi bør tage os i agt overfor.

South America is seeing a record number of wildfires, and a smoky haze hung in the air in cities like São Paulo this week. The World's Carolyn Beeler reports from western Brazil, where climate change is fueling unprecedented flames in the Pantanal wetlands. Plus, video has emerged of North Korea's Kim Jong-un touring a uranium enrichment facility. Analysts say these images will help experts estimate with more accuracy how much nuclear capability North Korea has achieved.

In this episode of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered,” Sara tackles the escalating issue of illegal immigration, with a particular focus on Springfield, Ohio, where a small town of 60,000 residents has been flooded with up to 20,000 undocumented Haitian immigrants. The influx has placed immense strain on local infrastructure, public safety, and essential services, creating a community in chaos. Sara discusses the resulting rise in car accidents due to untrained drivers, surging insurance premiums, and disturbing incidents of animal cruelty — all tied to the sudden arrival of immigrants. She points out how the Biden administration's refugee resettlement program is responsible for this destabilization, with unvetted immigrants being deliberately flown into conservative regions. The episode highlights how both political parties are complicit, with businesses exploiting cheap labor and politicians benefiting from federal funding. Sara also addresses the ongoing neglect of long-standing issues in the black community as attention and resources are diverted to immigrant populations. A Springfield resident shares their frustration with local authorities, describing the increasing sense of danger as their town becomes overwhelmed. Sara also turns her attention to Kamala Harris, who recently launched a policy page just weeks before the election. She criticizes Harris' support of an amnesty bill falsely presented as a border security measure, likening it to the misleading Inflation Reduction Act, which was more about climate change than inflation. The episode underscores the Left's manipulation of language and policy to push its agenda while glossing over the real consequences for American citizens. As the discussion unfolds, Sara touches on a recent article celebrating supposed "Republican" endorsements for Kamala Harris, with figures like Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger being touted as key supporters. Sara points out how irrelevant these establishment figures have become as the Republican base shifts toward a more populist, America First movement. Wrapping up the episode, Sara comments on the lasting impact of Donald Trump's nickname for Kim Jong-un, "Rocket Man," a label even Elton John found humorous. Sara is joined by BlazeTV contributors Matthew Marsden, host of the “Matthew Marsden Channel” on YouTube, and Jack Posobiec, senior editor at Human Events.

Marine veteran Christopher Ahn explains why he got involved with helping North Koreans defect to the West, and how this has put him in danger. [Part 1/2] What We Discuss with Christopher Ahn: Christopher Ahn, a Korean-American Marine veteran, became involved in helping North Korean defectors escape through an organization called the Chosen Institute, founded by Adrian Hong. In 2017, after the assassination of Kim Jong-un's half-brother Kim Jong-nam, Christopher was called upon to provide emotional support and protection for Kim Han-sol, Kim Jong-nam's son, who feared for his life. Christopher met with Kim Han-sol and his family in Taiwan, providing them with a sense of safety and comfort while the Chosen Institute worked on a plan to find asylum for them. Christopher's role in these operations was to offer emotional support and guidance to the defectors, drawing from his own family's experience as immigrants and his understanding of the immense courage it takes to leave everything behind for a chance at a better life. In the second half of this two-part episode, we'll learn more about the part Christopher played in the 2019 incident at the North Korean embassy in Madrid for which he is facing life-threatening extradition.
