From Combat to Clarity: The Healing Journey of Mark Keller This week's Team Never Quit episode features Lieutenant Commander Mark Keller, a retired U.S. Navy Naval Flight Officer who served his country with distinction in combat zones around the world—including Kosovo, Iraq, and post-9/11 Afghanistan. But after two decades of intense operational service, Mark faced a more insidious enemy at home: the devastating mental, emotional, and physical toll of war. In this powerful conversation, Mark opens up about his early years as a thrill-seeker, his journey from the Air Force to earning his commission into the Navy, and the harrowing missions that left scars no one could see. He recounts the mission that haunted him most—the unintended loss of innocent life—and how that moment triggered a years-long battle with PTSD, addiction, broken relationships, and near-death experiences. But Mark's story doesn't end in darkness. He takes us inside his transformational healing journey, made possible by plant-based neurogenesis therapies including Ibogaine and 5-MEO-DMT. Supported by the nonprofit Veterans Exploring Treatment Solutions (VETS) and inspired by fellow veterans like Marcus Luttrell and Marcus Capone, Mark discovered not only deep healing—but a new purpose. Now an advocate for alternative PTSD treatments and featured in the upcoming documentary No Fallen Heroes, Mark shares how love, neuroplasticity, and hard-fought self-discovery helped him reclaim his life. If you or someone you love is a veteran struggling with PTSD, you're not alone. Reach out, share this episode, and explore the healing resources shared today. In This Episode You Will Hear: • When you've got 2 Lieutenants with 15,000 pounds of gas and an hour to kill in an F-14, what are you gonna do? (18:46) • If there's any flat earthers listening to this… the earth is round. (19:28) • As I look over on my left, I start seeing bright orange, all over the place. And I switched around on my seat, and the whole back of the plane's on fire. Holy shit! (25:30) • A lot of guys got in the habit of making sure they had a mag in there. They wanted to be sure to take themselves out, before the Taliban got ‘em. (36:22) • [Marcus: a buddy of mine] came over the wood line and dropped down over our crawfish boil, you could see him come down; rolled over to do a panel check; and hung us the finger. (43:53) • Why are you gonna strap an explosive-laden rocket to your ass, if you can't do something fun with it? (44:44) • Detailed discussion related to lasers and precision bombing. (48:27 to 55:30) • People have different experiences, and you make decisions based on what you know. (59:21) • I got home to my wife and my 2 young sons, and I wasn't the same. (75:35) • Every time you launch, you gotta be on the ball. You're at 100% all the time. You have to. Mission success, and sometimes survival requires it. (77:19) • The life of a fighter air crew in the Navy: Poor quality sleep, not the best nutrition, constant high stress for months at a time, bathing in and drinking water contaminated with jet fuel, the G-forces associated with catapult shots and arrested landings deform your brain rather violently, you're flying with a 10,000 watt radar down by your feet, when you're at altitude, there's nothing between you and God but a piece of plexiglass. Why are guys getting prostate cancer? I don't know. We can guess about that, can't we? (78:09) • There were times that I was so screwed up that I knew that next one was gonna kill me and I said I don't care and I did it anyway. I don't know why I'm not dead. (95:47) • Ibogaine doesn't give you what you want, it gives you what you need. (124:45) • Ibogaine is a medicine that works on cellular metabolism and neuro transmitters and happens to have some psychedelic-like effects. (128:45) • I've just learned to not be too attached to what other people think. (164:42)

Albanië, Kosovo en Moldavië - alle drie de kleine landen zijn sterk afhankelijk van wat er in de wereld om hen heen gebeurt en voelen dat direct. Moldavië, met een oorlog in buurland Oekraïne, wacht met spanning af wat de Roemeense presidentsverkiezingen van zondag gaan brengen. Op de uitslag hebben de Moldaviërs zelf invloed. Ongeveer een miljoen Moldaviërs hebben een Roemeens paspoort, waaronder kiesgerechtigden. Voor Moldavië maakt het nogal wat uit wie er wint zondag, de pro-Europese Nicușor Dan of de radicaal-rechtse George ‘Roemenië eerst’ Simion. Floris zocht uit hoe de Moldaviërs naar deze verkiezingen kijken. Albanië dan, specifieker de premier Edi Rama, die zondag voor de vierde keer tot premier werd gekozen. De EU omarmt hem graag, want hij is pro-Europa. Maar die verkiezingen zelf, verliepen die wel zo netjes? De OVSE is kritisch. Standbeelden van Bill Clinton, Madeleine Albright, een boulevard genoemd naar George Bush, overal Amerikaanse vlaggen - Kosovo is niet alleen pro-EU, maar vooral pro-Amerika. In ieder geval voordat Donald Trump het voor de tweede keer tot Amerikaans president schopte. Zijn maatregel om ontwikkelingshulpagentschap USAID te ontmantelen laat zich voelen in Kosovo, ziet Geert Jan. Helaas geen mop, Joost had wat beters te doen. Wel wat extra's: Ons interview met Edi Rama. Vooruitblik op de Roemeense presidentsverkiezingen. De grote Albanese vier van de popmuziek.

President Poetin blijft weg uit Istanbul en weigert dus in gesprek te gaan met president Zelensky. Een oplossing voor de oorlog is ver weg, maar dat vindt Poetin niet erg. ‘Zolang de oorlog loopt zit Poetin goed', zegt Gijs Kessler, senior onderzoeker bij het Internationaal Instituut voor Sociale Geschiedenis en schrijver van het boek ‘Rusland - land dat anders wil zijn'. Luister ook | 'Oorlogsdreiging tussen India en Pakistan is serieus' Kessler plaatst wel een kanttekening, want hoewel de economie nog redelijk goed draait doemt er wel een probleem op. ‘De Russische overheidsuitgaven zijn enorm. Dat veroorzaakt een schuldenberg en dat is een probleem. De situatie is precair’. Mede daarom denkt Kessler dat Poetin geen andere oorlog wil beginnen. 'Poetin is er niet op uit om meerdere landen aan te vallen. Het gaat om invloedssfeer: achtertuinimperialisme.' Lees ook | Zelensky naar Turkije, Poetin blijft thuis, 'Zelensky heeft gebluft, wist dat Poetin niet zou komen' De Westerse liberale democratie onder druk Rechters die onder vuur liggen, de wetenschap die niet meer vertrouwd wordt en media die worden beschuldigd van het brengen van nepnieuws. De Westerse liberale democratie is niet langer een vanzelfsprekendheid. Hoe komt het dat de democratie hier geen antwoord op heeft? Daarover schreef schrijver Roxane van Iperen het essay ‘Eigen Planeet Eerst’. Luister ook | Handel met Trump, overleg zonder Poetin - 15 mei 2025 Kosovo houdt (nog) van Amerika Europa mag dan een beetje zijn uitgekeken op Amerika. In Kosovo denken ze daar heel anders over, ziet Europa-verslaggever Geert Jan Hahn. Maar het stopzetten van Amerikaanse hulpgoederen van USAID zorgt wel voor gefronste wenkbrauwen in de Kosovaarse hoofdstad Pristina.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this inspiring and wisdom-packed episode of Brad & Abbey Live, hosts Brad Zerbo and Abbey Blue Eyes welcome special guest Lt. Colonel Oak McCulloch, veteran, author, and leadership coach, for an unforgettable conversation about what it really means to lead with courage, humility, and service. Drawing from over 40 years of experience in the military, disaster relief, and civic leadership, Oak shares powerful stories and principles from his book Your Leadership Legacy that apply to every level of life, from the battlefield to the boardroom to the kitchen table. The discussion covers everything from the importance of reflection and accountability to the dangers of micromanagement and ego-driven leadership. Oak emphasizes that great leaders teach, train, and trust their people, and they do it with consistency, integrity, and compassion. Whether recounting tense moments in Kosovo or managing a Gulf Coast food bank after the BP oil spill, Oak delivers hard-won truths with warmth, humor, and straight-shooting candor. Together, Brad, Abbey, and Oak explore generational challenges, the destruction of the nuclear family, the emotional toll of leadership, and why true influence begins at home. From “lead by walking around” to the idea of the “holy moment,” this episode offers not just leadership advice, but life advice, reminding us all that leadership isn't about titles, it's about impact. Whether you're a CEO, a foreman, a parent, or a stay-at-home mom, this episode will leave you with practical tools and timeless insight to lead well and live with purpose.
Fabio Mini"La NATO in guerra"Dal patto di difesa alla frenesia bellicaPrefazione di Luciano CanforaEdizioni Dedalowww.edizionidedalo.itQual è il ruolo della NATO oggi? Quali sono i suoi nemici? Può entrare in guerra? L'autore, per molti anni ai vertici NATO, offre proposte concrete per rivedere l'organizzazione dall'interno.Come si è arrivati a questo punto? Se la Nato è in guerra lo deve alla sua sistematica e irrazionale violazione delle proprie regole e dello stesso Trattato costitutivo. Per quasi mezzo secolo la Nato ha rispettato i limiti geografici e operativi stabiliti, anche se seguiva e sosteneva la politica statunitense nel mondo. Con la fine dell'Unione Sovietica, però, la Nato ha cominciato a “giocare” con le parole del Trattato, poi a mistificarle e infine a tradirle. Ora la Nato non ha limiti di territorio e non ha un solo Nemico. Ne ha molti, scelti con cura rispettando le priorità americane. E così ogni Stato membro deve vedersela con la Russia, la Cina, l'Iran, la Corea del Nord, l'India, i Brics, gli Stati nuclearizzati, i terroristi, i criminali, gli scafisti, le organizzazioni umanitarie e perfino i pacifisti. L'autore svela i metodi, i pretesti e i trucchi che hanno portato la Nato alla frenesia bellica e l'Europa all'autodistruzione, con l'auspicio che si torni a ragionare.Per tutti quelli che desiderano comprendere i retroscena del clima politico attuale e la situazione di guerra che viviamo ogni giorno.Fabio Mini è Generale di Corpo d'Armata dell'Esercito Italiano. Ha comandato tutti i livelli di unità Bersaglieri e ricoperto incarichi dirigenziali presso gli Stati Maggiori dell'Esercito e della Difesa. È stato direttore dell'ISSMI presso il Centro Alti Studi e ha prestato servizio negli Stati Uniti, in Cina e nei Balcani. È stato Capo di Stato Maggiore del Comando Nato del Sud Europa e comandante della missione internazionale in Kosovo. Collabora con le riviste Limes e Geopolitica e dal 1989 al 2024 ha pubblicato e curato una ventina di libri sulla guerra con vari editori tra cui Einaudi, il Mulino e Paper First.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.
Die “Bergfreundinnen” Antonia Schlosser, Katharina Kestler und Lisa Bartelmus berichten in ihrem gleichnamigen Podcast über ihr Leben mit den Bergen. In ihrem Buch “Wilde Berge des Balkan” (Ullstein, 2025) berichten sie von ihrer abenteuerliche Wanderung am “High Scardus Trail“ durch Nordmazedonien, Kosovo und Albanien - ganze 175km und 10.000 Höhenmeter! Wir unterhalten uns in dieser Folge kritisch über die sogenannte “Wildnis”, warum Abenteuer (endlich) nicht mehr nur Männern vorbehalten sind, welche Herausforderungen es für Frauen bei Bergabenteuern gibt, und was Feminismus eigentlich mit Bergsport zu tun hat.

What if the leadership edge you're looking for doesn't come from working harder, but listening deeper? We talk often about productivity, performance, and pushing through. But few conversations explore the quieter forces shaping our best decisions, like intuition. In this episode, I speak with Hrund Gunnsteinsdóttir, a director, writer, systems thinker, and an award-winning sustainability leader, about intuition as a source of strength, clarity, and resilience in both leadership and life. Hrund shares how her work in post-conflict Kosovo with the UN led to burnout and a full reset — one that turned her toward the science and practice of intuition. Through personal stories, research, and the Icelandic concept of innsæi (“the sea within”), she explains how we can train our intuition as rigorously as we train our intellect. We explore: How to know whether your intuition is guiding you, or your ego is pulling you Why many of us lose touch with inner guidance (and how to return to it) How to use an “attention journal” to strengthen your discernment The difference between insight and overthinking What it takes to create workplace cultures that respect sensing as much as data Why intuition is not the opposite of reason, but essential to it This episode is for anyone navigating uncertainty, complexity, or the quiet knowing that something needs to change. Whether you're leading a team, facing a major decision, or simply looking to reconnect with your inner compass, this conversation offers both inspiration and practical tools to help you find your way — from the inside out. Hrund Gunnsteinsdóttir is an Advisory Council member at Yale's International Leadership Centre and has been recognised for her work as a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader and Cultural Leader and Yale World Fellow. She has qualifications from Yale, Harvard Kennedy School, the London School of Economics and Political Sciences, Oxford Said Business School and the University of Iceland.

Voor onze Handbalmannen was het een alles of niets week. Van de resterende duels in de EK-kwalificatie tegen Oekraïne en Kosovo moest er in ieder geval eentje gewonnen worden om plaatsing voor het EK af te dwingen. Uiteindelijk werden beide duels gewonnen en dus mogen onze mannen begin 2026 afreizen naar het continentale kampioenschap in Noorwegen, Zweden en Denemarken. We spraken erover met Stijn Steenhuis van Handbal Inside. Presentatie: Robert Denneman
Goran Zlović ble født i et land som ikke lenger eksisterer. Etter mange år i Norge reiste han tilbake til de sju landene som det tidligere Jugoslavia bestod av: Bosnia-Hercegovina, Kosovo, Kroatia, Montenegro, Nord-Makedonia, Serbia og Slovenia for å researche boken Myriade. Målet var å finne ut hva som hadde gått tapt og hva som hadde vokst frem i asken av Jugoslavia's oppløsning. Gundersen og Garfors blir med på en litterær reise.

In this gripping episode, we hear a detailed account from an eyewitness right at the heart of the tense NATO and Russian confrontation in Kosovo in 1999 at Pristina Airport. NATO General Wesley Clark had ordered the British to use force to remove Russian forces, however British General Mike Jackson refused with the immortal words “Sir, I'm not going to start World War Three for you”. Former BRIXMIS officer Stephen Harrison was a British Army liaison officer to the Russians and the translator at the complex and fraught negotiations at the airport. He provides a blow-by-blow account from the detailed notes he took at the time.

Blerim Skoro is a Kosovo-born former CIA operative whose life took a dramatic turn after deserting the Yugoslav army in the 1990s. Arriving in New York as an asylum seeker, Skoro's journey led him from a drug trafficking conviction to becoming a key informant for the FBI and CIA post-9/11. Posing as a radicalized Islamist, he infiltrated al-Qaeda networks in the Balkans, Middle East, and Pakistan, providing critical intelligence. His covert work ended after a 2010 shooting in Macedonia, when the CIA severed ties, leaving him with minimal compensation. Facing deportation in 2016, Skoro's story, detailed in the documentary The Accidental Spy, highlights the perils of espionage and abandonment by his handlers.

GLOSSARYMilošević regime (p. 5 in the transcript, 17:28)Slobodan Milošević was a central figure in the breakup of Yugoslavia and a key instigator of the ethnic conflicts that plagued the Balkans in the 1990s. Rising through the ranks of the Communist Party, he became Serbia's president in 1989 and quickly moved to consolidate power by revoking the autonomy of Kosovo and Vojvodina. His leadership fueled a wave of Serbian nationalism and played a major role in the wars in Croatia, Bosnia, and later Kosovo, supporting Serbian forces involved in ethnic violence and atrocities.Milošević's regime was marked by authoritarian control, suppression of opposition, and state-controlled media. Though he maintained popular support in the early years by presenting himself as a defender of Serbs, his policies led to international isolation, UN sanctions, and ultimately NATO intervention. In 1999, following a brutal crackdown on ethnic Albanians in Kosovo, NATO launched a bombing campaign against Serbia.Domestically, economic hardship and political repression led to growing dissatisfaction. After a disputed election in 2000, massive protests forced Milošević to resign. He was arrested in 2001 and extradited to the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia in The Hague, where he faced charges of war crimes, including genocide. He died in 2006 during the trial.source
Die “Bergfreundinnen” Antonia Schlosser, Katharina Kestler und Lisa Bartelmus berichten in ihrem gleichnamigen Podcast über ihr Leben mit den Bergen. In ihrem Buch “Wilde Berge des Balkan” (Ullstein, 2025) berichten sie von ihrer abenteuerliche Wanderung am “High Scardus Trail“ durch Nordmazedonien, Kosovo und Albanien - ganze 175km und 10.000 Höhenmeter! Wir unterhalten uns in dieser Folge kritisch über die sogenannte “Wildnis”, warum Abenteuer (endlich) nicht mehr nur Männern vorbehalten sind, welche Herausforderungen es für Frauen bei Bergabenteuern gibt, und was Feminismus eigentlich mit Bergsport zu tun hat.
Baroness Catherine Ashton, formerly the European Union's lead for foreign and security strategy, discusses challenges, opportunities and tips for collaborative strategy-making. As the EU's first High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Baroness Ashton was at the heart of international strategy making between 2009 and 2014 working on some of the world's most intractable problems. She was appointed by the UN Security Council to lead the P5+1 negotiations for a nuclear deal with Iran and was in post when Russia first invaded Ukraine, seizing Crimea and parts of the Donbas in 2014. She also led peace negotiations in the Western Balkans between Serbia and Kosovo, for which she was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. In this episode, she reflects on strategy-making in an international and supranational context, the challenges facing Europe today and how ‘false binaries' – such as those that posit the EU and NATO as being in opposition – stifle effective strategy elaboration. She argues that strategy makers need preparedness of thought and action, the ability to ground their ambition both in reality but also in individual and organisational values, as well as the will to ask, and respond to, the key question of any adaptive strategy, ‘And then what?'. In an illustrious career, The Rt Hon The Baroness Catherine Ashton of Upholland LG GCMG PC was a minister, Leader of the House of Lords, the UK's first female Commissioner in the European Union and the High Representative and First Vice President for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy in the Barroso Commission establishing the European External Action Service as a major actor in international affairs.
What does it take to complete Canada's "Top Gun", the Fighter Weapons Instructor Course? What is it like to deploy to Bosnia or take part in the bombing campaign in Kosovo with real air-to-air and ground-to-air threats? What does it take to coordinate strikes in Afghanistan? How are we shifting from a counter-insurgency to peer-to-peer warfighting mentality? Today we have Lieutenant-General Eric Kenny, Commander of the RCAF on the show to discuss all these things and much more. Eric has 2900 flying hours, 2200 of which are on the CF-188 Hornet. He has been there and done that at the pointy end as well as from a command perspective. Join us today for a great discussion on his career as we lead up to a discussion on the RCAF as a whole!

Trois décennies après, les guerres des années 90 continuent d'alimenter les tensions politiques dans les Balkans, en Bosnie-Herzégovine, et au Kosovo où la question des disparus oppose Belgrade et Pristina. Les disparus du Kosovo Depuis février 2022 et le retour de la guerre en Europe, la crainte d'une déstabilisation de certains territoires ou de la reprise de conflits gelés inquiète régulièrement experts et ambassades, notamment dans les Balkans. La question des 1.600 disparus est au cœur du bras de fer qui oppose la Serbie et son ancienne province majoritairement peuplée d'Albanais, le Kosovo. Belgrade et Pristina s'accusent mutuellement de ne pas donner accès aux archives et à l'ensemble des fosses communes. Pendant ce temps, les familles, elles, attendent toujours. Reportage à Gjakova, Louis Seiller. En un mot : cinquième colonneUne autre région d'Europe est en alerte face à la Russie et plus encore depuis le retour de Donald Trump au pouvoir à Washington, ce sont les Pays Baltes. En témoigne par exemple, en Lituanie, le retour dans le débat de l'expression « cinquième colonne », qui évoque un climat de suspicion déjà vu. C'est la chronique En un mot de cette semaine, avec les explications de notre correspondante à Vilnius, Marielle Vitureau. L'extrême droite confirmera-t-elle sa poussée en Roumanie ? Le scrutin présidentiel approche, il aura lieu le 4 mai - dans un climat tendu. Depuis l'annulation spectaculaire du premier tour en décembre 2024, la démocratie roumaine vit une période agitée. La tension s'est encore accrue après le rejet de la candidature du favori Calin Georgescu. Cette figure de l'extrême-droite, qui avait émergé l'an dernier, ne sera pas dans la course, en raison d'irrégularités et de soupçons d'ingérence russe a jugé la Cour constitutionnelle. Ce n'est pas du goût d'une assez grande partie de la population, les manifestations houleuses qui ont suivi l'ont montré. La percée de l'extrême droite, qui a surpris à l'automne, pourrait se confirmer. Elle a déjà commencé à marquer la société. Reportage de Benjamin Ribout à Bucarest. Le deuil des catholiques latino-américains de MadridLe décès du pape François a sonné comme un coup de tonnerre ce lundi 21 avril en Espagne. Dans ce grand pays catholique, le gouvernement a déclaré 3 jours de deuil national, et le Real Madrid a observé une minute de silence. Même si le pape argentin n'était pas apprécié partout de la même manière, l'émotion est palpable. Et tout spécialement dans la communauté latino-américaine, très présente dans le pays, venue en particulier du Venezuela, de Colombie et d'Équateur. Reportage à Madrid, François Musseau.

The Western Balkans are often seen as Europe's periphery, but they are in fact embedded within the continent's history and future ambitions. Despite close economic ties with the EU, these six countries—Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Serbia—remain outside the Union, navigating a complex path toward accession. In this episode of The Sound of Economics, Rebecca Christie is joined by Simonida Kacarska, Nina Vujanović and Anna Fiore to explore the economic realities, trade dynamics, and political hurdles facing the region. How integrated are these economies already? What barriers remain, and can the new EU growth plan bring about meaningful progress? This podcast was produced with financial support from The Open Society Foundations Western Balkans.

Today we had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Kostas Bakoyannis, Chair of the Committee on the Environment, Climate Change and Energy at the European Committee of the Regions. Kostas has served as a member of the Committee since 2020 and previously held elected roles as Mayor of Athens, Governor of Central Greece, and Mayor of Karpenisi. He brings nearly two decades of public service experience including roles at the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the European Parliament in Brussels, and the World Bank in Kosovo. We were thrilled to connect with Kostas for an insightful discussion on Europe's energy future, the pressures facing European industry, and how the EU is navigating today's complex geopolitical landscape. In our conversation, Kostas shares his perspective on Europe's environmental and energy policies and the challenge of balancing energy security with energy transition amidst rising geopolitical tensions. We discuss the impact of tariffs and trade relations, Europe's internal challenges regarding energy affordability, regulatory complexity, and bureaucracy, and Greece's more balanced and pragmatic energy policies. We explore the importance of interconnection and regional energy cooperation within Europe, as well as the broader geopolitical and economic implications of efforts to connect energy systems with Cyprus and Israel. Kostas offers insights into how average Greek and EU citizens experience energy and financial pressures, the limitations of EU communication, and the importance of preserving the U.S.-European alliance built after WWII. We examine how different EU countries are pursuing diverse energy mixes and the need for technological neutrality in policymaking. We touch on Europe's evolving strategy on industrial policy and tariffs, the urgency of presenting a united Western front in dealing with China, calls for increased European defense spending, and the seriousness of concurrent economic, national security, and ideological tensions. Kostas highlights Greece's economic transformation, the investment climate, lessons from local governance, the need for more flexible, innovation-friendly regulation within the EU, and more. It was a broad-based discussion and we're thankful to Kostas for sharing his time and unique insights. Mike Bradley opened by discussing that “Trumpatility” is alive and global fear is high! He noted that Trump's reciprocal tariffs are dominating global markets and that broader equity markets could still have additional downside. However, the time for panic was weeks ago when equity market volatility was low, not today, when fear is extremely high. On the broader equity market front, Trump's reciprocal tariffs haven't just affected U.S. equities (S&P 500 down 12% over last 5 trading days) but also global equity markets (down 8-12%) over the same timeframe. Investor fear is historically high with the S&P 500 Volatility Index (VIX) trading at ~55 today and as high as 60 on Monday (3rd highest VIX level of the last 30 years). The S&P 500 opened strongly on Tuesday (up 3.5%) before ending the day down just under 2.0%, which looks to be signaling that investors are “selling the bounce” rather than “buying the dip.” Investors seem inclined to “buy the dip” around the S&P's 200-day moving average of 4,675 (6-7% lower). On bonds, he pointed out that the 10yr bond yield trades at ~4.25%, which is a higher yield than it traded on Liberation Day, as traders sense the Fed could be conflicted between tariff induced price inflation and a tariff induced U.S. recession. March CPI & PPI reports due this week could influence Fed decisions, with a cooler-than-expected inflation reading possibly paving the way for interest rate cuts as early as the May 7th FOMC Meeting. In the oil market, WTI price has plunged ~$14/bbl (to $58/bbl) over the last five trading days and is now trading at Mar '21 price levels. The recent plunge in oil price was due not only to Trump

To start of the episode, Adam and Alexandra talk about the prospect of foreign troop deployment in Ukraine, a historic border agreement between Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, a further crackdown against opposition in Georgia, and the fleeing of Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik to Moscow. Alexandra is then joined by policy analyst Alejandro Esteso Pérez, who specializes in the Western Balkans, EU enlargement, corruption, and authoritarianism.
