Bundeswehr-Major: Bis in die Tiefe des russischen Raumes schießenEin Kommentar von Paul Clemente.Man stelle sich vor: Zwei Gladiatoren kämpfen unaufhörlich. Tagelang. Wochenlang. Sie hören einfach nicht auf. Beide sind grenzwertig erschöpft, ihre Körper mit Wunden übersät - aber der der Kampf kann nicht enden. Hinter der Abzäunung stehen nämlich Verbündete. Die drücken den Kämpfern regelmäßig frische Waffen in die Hand, sobald die alten stumpf, zerschlagen oder zerbrochen sind. Außerdem reichen sie Aufputschmittel und versprechen ihrem Favoriten den baldigen Sieg: Jetzt bloß nicht aufhören! Dein Gegner macht nicht mehr lange. Dann bekommst du alles. - So ähnlich ließe sich der Russland-Ukraine-Konflikt beschreiben. Und nein, es sind nicht bloß westliche Regierungen, die solche Sprüche klopfen. Vor wenigen Tagen empfing Nordkoreas Machthaber Kim Jong Un den russischen Außenminister Sergej Lawrow. Laut der Nachrichtenagentur KCNA habe er dem Gast versichert, dass man „in allen strategischen Fragen die gleichen Ansichten" habe und er „die von der russischen Führung getroffenen Maßnahmen zur Beseitigung der Ursachen der Ukraine-Krise (...) auch in Zukunft bedingungslos unterstützen" werde. Der Diktator sei der festen Überzeugung, „dass die russische Armee und das russische Volk bei der Realisierung der heiligen Sache, die Würde und die grundlegenden Interessen des Landes zu verteidigen, mit Sicherheit siegen werden.“ Und um diesen Sieg zu beschleunigen, will er gerne weitere Soldaten als Kanonenfutter an die Front senden. Gerne bis zu 30.000.Daraufhin versprach Lawrow, Nordkoreas verheizten Soldaten in Kursk ein Denkmal zu errichten. Nein, das ist kein Witz. Und was springt noch für Nordkorea raus? Genannt werden: Lebensmittel und Unterstützung beim Raketenprogramm. Bleiben wir beim Stichwort Lebensmittel! Laut der Welthungerhilfe ist die Ernährungslage in Nordkorea weiterhin gefährdet. Das heißt: Eine Regierung, die keine ausreichende Versorgung ihrer Bürger hinbekommt, verschickt sie als Kanonenfutter. Aber der Kuhhandel verrät noch mehr: Anscheinend hat die russische Armee einen gewaltige Aderlass erlitten. So dass sie jetzt Kim Jong Un erneut um Nachschub fragen muss.Auch die USA plant ein Comeback auf dem osteuropäischen Schlachtfeld. Noch während des Wahlkampfes 2024 hatte Trump geprotzt: Wäre er Präsident, er würde den Russland-Ukraine-Konflikt in 24 Stunden beenden. Nun ist er schon ein halbes Jahr im Amt. Resultat: Null. Der Ex-Baulöwe ist über Putin verärgert, erklärt ihn für „verrückt“ und will wieder Waffen an die Ukraine senden. Wer die finanziert? Nein, nicht der US-Steuerzahler, sondern die Nato, sprich: Ihre europäischen Mitgliedsstaaten. Gegenüber dem Sender NBC-News bekannte der sprunghafte US-Präsident:„Wir schicken Waffen an die Nato, und die Nato wird die vollen Kosten für diese Waffen erstatten.“ Eine solche Hilfslieferung könne laut Spiegel-Bericht Patriot- und Mittelstreckenwaffen beinhalten. Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz bestätigte Trumps Aussage: Die deutsche Regierung wolle Luftverteidigungssysteme kaufen, und sie anschließend die Ukraine weiterreichen.Ins gleiche Horn blies am Wochenende auch Bundeswehr-Generalmajor Christian Freuding, Leiter des Sonderstabs Ukraine im Verteidigungsministerium. Der 53-jährige reist in regelmäßigen Abständen nach Kiew zur Besprechung gemeinsamer Militär-Projekte. Für Youtube-User ist Freuding kein Unbekannter: In „Nachgefragt“, einem Videoformat der Bundeswehr, hatte er regelmäßig den Ukraine-Krieg analysiert – und eine Klickzahl von einer Millionen erreicht....https://apolut.net/bis-tief-nach-russland-schiessen-von-paul-clemente/ Hosted on Acast.

y le ha vuelto a abrir las puertas del Vaticano para entablar negociaciones entre Ucrania y Rusia. Todo esto después de varios ataques entre ambos países. Ucrania bombardeó Kursk y mató a tres personas y los de Putin con misiles y más de 700 drones sobre varias ciudades sin dejar daños personales.

In einer am 5. Juni veröffentlichten Umfrage des Levada-Zentrums in Russland, eines soziologischen Instituts, geben 55 % der Russinnen und Russen an, dass Deutschland Russland gegenüber das feindseligste Land sei. Seit dem Amtsantritt von Donald Trump hat sich der Fokus von den USA auf Deutschland verschoben. Ein Grund dafür ist u.a. die erfolgreiche Instrumentalisierung der Erfahrungen aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg. Als Deutschland die Ukraine im Kampf gegen die russische Aggression mit Leopard-Panzern unterstützte, gab es in Russland einen Aufschrei der Entrüstung und die propagandistische Parallelisierung, man habe es mit der Schlacht von Kursk 2.0 zu tun. Die engen Beziehungen zwischen Deutschland und Russland lassen sich bis ins 18. Jahrhundert zurückverfolgen. Zar Peter I. holte gezielt deutsche Fachleute zum Aufbau seines modernisierten Reiches nach Russland und betrieb eine systematische Heiratspolitik. Für seine Kinder und Nichten wählte er ausschließlich dynastische Verbindungen mit den deutschen Fürstenhäusern. Höhepunkt dieser Entwicklung war die Herrschaft von Prinzessin Sophie Friederike Auguste von Anhalt-Zerbst in Russland unter dem Namen Katharina II. In St. Petersburg, der damaligen russischen Hauptstadt, gab es eine deutsche Vorstadt, in der 1850 schon 40 000 Deutsche lebten. Mit Hitlers Überfall auf die Sowjetunion im Sommer 1941 und dem darauffolgenden deutschen Vernichtungskrieg gegen die Völker der Sowjetunion beginnt eine traumatische geschichtliche Erfahrung. Das Putin Regime macht sie sich heute für seine antiwestliche Propaganda zunutze. Der Zweite Weltkrieg bildet den Kern von Putins Ideologie. Für die Erinnerungspolitik zieht das weitreichende Folgen nach sich. Russische Historiker können sich mit dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wissenschaftlich nicht mehr beschäftigen, zahlreiche Institutionen wie das Deutsche Historische Institut in Moskau mussten schließen, das Zentrum für Osteuropa und internationale Studien (ZOiS) erklärte das russische Justizministerium zur "unerwünschten Organisation". Wie geht es weiter mit der deutsch-russischen Erinnerungspolitik? Mit den deutsch-russischen Beziehungen überhaupt? Darüber diskutieren wir mit der Petersburger Historikerin Ekaterina Makhotina und dem deutschen Historiker Jörg Morré.

On Friday, Ukraine's air force said Russia had launched a record 539 drones and 11 missiles in overnight airstrikes. Kyiv was at the epicentre of the attack, with every district in the capital targeted. We've been speaking with two residents of the city, about their experiences - Dasha, who spent the night sheltering at a local metro station, and Oleksiy, who watched his business go up in flames on CCTV.Also, on Monday Russia's Investigative Committee said that Vladimir Putin's former transport minister Roman Starovoit had been found dead, apparently with a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Victoria and Vitaly explain why the ex-Kursk governor's death is driving intense speculation online.Today's episode is presented by Victoria Derbyshire and Vitaly Shevchenko.

The end of the Battle of Kursk did not mean the end of the Red Army advance. The Germans withdrew, but the Red Army just kept coming.

Die Welt schaut gespannt nach Tel Aviv und Teheran, aber im Moment nicht nach Kiew. Host Anna Engelke hat den Blick auf beide Kriegsgebiete - den Nahen Osten und die Ukraine. In dieser Folge geht es auch um Deutschland, die NATO und Donald Trump. Kann der US-Präsident strategisch denken, hat er einen Plan für den Krieg im Nahen Osten? Co-Host Stefan Niemann bezweifelt beides. Trump hasse es zwar, schwach oder unentschlossen zu wirken, habe aber gleichzeitig große Angst, in den Krieg zwischen Israel und dem Iran hineingezogen zu werden: Donalds Dilemma. Israel hat seine Luftschläge auf Ziele im Iran am Ende der Woche noch einmal verstärkt. Das Mullah-Regime antwortet mit ballistischen Raketen auf Tel Aviv und andere Städte. Dabei wurde auch ein Krankenhaus getroffen. Parallel laufen diplomatische Bemühungen um eine Deeskalation. So verhandeln Deutschland, Frankreich und Großbritannien in Genf mit Irans Außenminister - in Abstimmung mit den USA. Russlands Sommeroffensive in der Ukraine geht an etlichen Frontabschnitten weiter, wenn auch mit geringen Geländegewinnen. Wladimir Putin scheint sich stärker auf den Verbündeten Nordkorea zu stützen: Kim Jong-un will Pioniere ins russische Kursk schicken und auch Arbeiter für die Drohnenproduktion. Das Thema „Rüstung in Deutschland“ beobachtet Host Anna Engelke in den nächsten Monaten im Podcast immer wieder mit Christian Mölling, Sicherheitsexperte beim European Policy Center. „Wir haben eine Deadline, bis zu der wir fertig sein müssen“, erklärt Mölling den Zeitdruck bei der Beschaffung in der Rüstungsindustrie. Weil sich die Bedrohungslage seit dem Angriffskrieg Russlands in der Ukraine verändert habe, müsse die Bundeswehr bei der Rüstung umstellen im Rahmen einer Abschreckungsstrategie, auch mit Blick auf die Bündnispartner. In der kommenden Woche wird Anna den NATO-Gipfel in Den Haag besuchen. Welche Zukunft das Bündnis hat und was Generalsekretär Marc Rutte US-Präsident Donald Trump anbieten kann, darum geht es abschließend in einem Gespräch mit der ARD-Korrespondentin Kathrin Schmid in Brüssel.

Boots, Boots, Boots: Wir stiefeln 28 YEARS LATER durch Schottland und sind uns uneins, ob das Sequel von 28 DAYS und 28 WEEKS LATER wirklich so gelungen ist. Daneben sind sich Schlogger, Antje und Schröck aber ziemlich einig, was ELIO und seine Reise zu den Sternen angeht und dass hier die Zielgruppe(n) ähnlich unklar ist/sind wie bei MIRAI - DAS MÄDCHEN AUS DER ZUKUNFT, das noch mal wiederaufgeführt wird. Abgerundet durch Donnie Yens nächste Regie-Arbeit und Anwaltskarriere in THE PROSECUTOR, bei dem der 61-Jährige nicht nur Akten, sondern auch ein paar kräftige Hiebe und Tritte austeilt. Darüber hinaus gibt es wie immer noch ein paar Streaming- und Mediatheken-Tipps, die sich zum einen aus Titeln wie KPOP DEMON HUNTERS, der populären Papstwahl KONKLAVE, dem Coralie Fargeat-Vorgänger REVENGE, dem thematisch passenden Doppelpack aus 28 DAYS LATER und 28 WEEKS LATER und dem durchgeknallten SUKIYAKI WESTERN DJANGO von Takeshi Miike zusammen setzen. Und zum anderen aus den thematisch wundervoll zusammen passenden Streifen ALL IST LOST, CAPTAIN PHILLIPS, KURSK und THE BEACH HOUSE, die allesamt über die Seiten diverser TV-Sender abrufbar sind. Eine doch sehr angeregte Folge, bei der wir Euch nun viel Spaß wünschen, mindestens genauso viel wie im Kino oder auf der Heimkino-Couch, und die dann am Samstag noch mit Schlogger, Wolf, Andre und einem Talk rund um Alex Garland fortgesetzt wird. Bleibt bis dahin gesund und gut drauf. Und jetzt alle: Boots - boots - boots - boots - movin' up an' down again! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this Echoes of War Podcast Craig interviews Jack Bowsher, of The Forgotten War Podcast, and author of Forgotten Armour, who has just written a new book titled Thunder Run Meiktila 1945: The greatest combined arms manoeuvre battle of WW2. Many histories of the Burma Campaign reach their peak with the remarkable battles of Imphal and Kohima in 1944. However, the subsequent reconquest of Burma in 1945 is often dismissed as merely “mopping up.” In reality, it marked the culmination of an arduous journey undertaken by the British and Indian armies since December 1941. This remarkable achievement occurred without the extensive resources allocated to other theaters, amid a landscape characterized by diverse and extreme geographic challenges. The campaign, particularly around the Japanese supply hub in Meiktila, deserves to be legendary in our collective memory of the Second World War. Had it been executed by renowned commanders like Monty, Patton, Rommel, or Zhukov, it would be as celebrated as the battles of France, Alamein, the Bulge, Kursk, or Overlord. Yet, it stands as the most extraordinary battle you may have never heard of. This campaign epitomized all-arms maneuver warfare of the Second World War, involving tanks, mechanized infantry, self-propelled artillery, and air support surging across the arid central Burma landscape, striking the Japanese Burma Area Army where least expected. Outnumbered and encircled, the 17th Indian Infantry Division and the 255th Indian Tank Brigade delivered a devastating blow to their adversaries in a battle that decisively ended Japanese dominance in Southeast Asia. This is Thunder Run: Meiktila 1945.

The Germans launched “Operation Citadel” on July 5th, 1943.  They wanted to encircle and destroy Soviet forces in a salient centered on the city of Kursk.  The Soviets knew they were coming and had spent months preparing.  What followed was the greatest land battle in history.  About two million men with 6,000 tanks, 35,000 guns, and 5,000 aircraft fought into late August.  Despite horrific losses, the Soviets stood their ground.  Lloyd Clark tells the story in “The Battle of the Tanks: Kursk 1943”.

EPISODE #455-- Alexis Simpson returns to talk to us about the feminist/kinda-problematic cult classic TANK GIRL (1995) directed by Rachel Talalay. It's a good one. Both the movie and the show. Worth your time. We also talk general nonsense about the 90's, the failures of third-wave feminism, and how racist and weird some of the alt-rock scene used to be. We also talk WATTSTAX (1973), DIE HARD (1985), PEEWEE HERMAN AS HIMSELF (2025), THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME (2025), and MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 8 (2025). Sorry for not time stamping these. It was a long edit. Sorry. I'm trying to go to grad school here, okay? Leave me alone. TIME STAMPS: 15:45: The Battle of Kursk mentioned 18:45: THE NIGHT PORTER (1974) mentioned. It's that kind of an episode. 32:00: We talk KROQ, 311, Shaq, Biohazard, Onyx, and the general look and feel of 1990's al-rock. 35:00: We talk LIVING SINGLE versus FRIENDS. 47:45: We mock Harry Potter and JK Rowling's proximity to white supremacy. 59:35: James names a bunch of apes.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 78-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 21,696 on turnover of $6.5-billion N-T. Taiwan and Marshall Islands sign security pact amid growing hybrid threats Taiwan and the Marshall Islands has signed security pact - that both sides say will pave the way for the deepening of a security partnership amid growing hybrid threats in the region. The letter of intent was signed by National Security Bureau head Tsai Ming-yen and the Marshall Island's top diplomat, Kalani Kan-eko. Kaneko is part of a delegation being led by Marshall Islands President Hilda Heine that is visiting Taiwan this week. According to the National Security Bureau, the pact aims to help the Pacific island state enhance its security through collaborations in areas such as "maritime domain awareness, cybersecurity and countering foreign malign (惡意的;) influence." The Ministry of Foreign Affairs says the Marshall Islands' delegation is visiting Taiwan until Saturday. Food courier companies face fine of US$6.67 million for order contamination The Food and Drug Administration says food courier companies could face fines if their employees smoke, fail to keep the food items securely packaged, or demonstrate other behavior that could contaminate the orders. The statement comes after the F-D-A formally implemented (實施) revisions to the Regulations on Good Hygiene Practices for Food. According to the revisions, delivery containers must be sealed and insulated. Before delivering food, equipment should be inspected to ensure cleanliness and hygiene. While during transportation, the food must be fully wrapped, with measures in place to prevent contamination and avoid drastic temperature fluctuations. The F-D-A says companies found to be in violation of the regulations face fines of between 60,000 and 200-million N-T. NKorea Promises Unconditional Support for Russia's War Against Ukraine North Korea says that leader Kim Jong Un told a top Russian official that his country will “unconditionally support” Russia's war against Ukraine. The official Korean Central News Agency says Kim made the remarks (發言) during a meeting with Russian Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu. The agency says the two discussed how to solidify strategic partnership between North Korea and Russia and reached a consensus on the Ukraine issue and other unspecified international situations. In April, the two countries confirmed North Korean soldiers were fighting alongside Russian forces to repel a Ukrainian incursion into Russia's Kursk border region. Trump Ends Policy Requiring Emergency Abortions if Mother's Life is in Danger The Trump administration has ended a policy that requires hospitals to perform emergency abortions if the mother's health is in danger…even in states where the procedure is banned. Nineteen states have either banned or restricted (限制) abortions since Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022. Toni Waterman has more. Germany WWII Bombs Defused Atter Evac Three unexploded U.S. bombs from World War II were defused on Wednesday in Cologne after the German city's biggest evacuation since the end of the war. More than 20,000 residents were evacuated from the city center earlier Wednesday after the bombs were unearthed on Monday during preparatory (準備性的) work for road construction. City authorities say experts defused the bombs within about an hour. Even 80 years after the end of the war, unexploded bombs dropped during wartime air raids are frequently (常常) found in Germany.

PREVIEW: Colleague David Maxwell reports what is known of how DPRK troops performed in the Kursk salient. More later. 1951 KOREAN WAR

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he breaks down today's biggest stories shaping America and the world. Putin Survives Assassination Attempt, Trump Calls Him “Crazy” – Vladimir Putin narrowly escapes a Ukrainian drone strike during a visit to the Kursk region. In response, Russia unleashes its most intense wave of missile attacks on Ukraine to date. Trump reacts by calling Putin “absolutely CRAZY,” signaling a sharp shift in tone. Trump Revives Nuclear Power—but Russia Controls the Fuel – Trump signs executive orders to accelerate U.S. nuclear energy expansion, especially small modular reactors. But a critical fuel—HALEU, is almost entirely sourced from Russia, raising concerns over energy independence and Putin's leverage. EU Trade War Paused as Trump Pushes Anti-China Alliance – After threatening a 50% tariff on EU imports, Trump delays action to July, aiming to secure a broader anti-China trade pact. European reluctance stems from pressure by Beijing and concerns over American economic demands. Trump Downplays U.S. Textile Industry – Trump says America doesn't need to manufacture T-shirts or sneakers—just tanks and chips. But experts and small business leaders argue U.S.-made apparel is critical to economic security, moral supply chains, and affordability. Wells Fargo: It Will Take $3 Trillion to Restore U.S. Industry – A new report estimates that returning U.S. manufacturing to 1970s strength would require $3 trillion in capital investment. Investors want policy consistency from Washington before backing the reshoring revolution. Beef Shortage Ahead: USDA Reports Lowest Supply in Years – Feedlot numbers and cold storage levels hit decade lows. Combined with poor grazing conditions, beef prices are set to rise, just in time for BBQ season. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." – John 8:32

In Episode 10 of Geopolitics with Ghost, host Gordon McCormick unpacks a geopolitical whirlwind. The show opens with Trump's Oval Office confrontation of South African President Cyril Ramaphosa over white farmer genocide and the ANC's corruption, including a bold video expose featuring Julius Malema and burial fields. Ghost dives deep into South Africa's post-apartheid politics, the Gupta brothers' corruption network, and Ramaphosa's entanglement in BRICS, Russia, and UAE relations. The episode also spotlights the latest nuclear developments, Trump's executive orders to revive domestic energy and a tense fifth round of U.S.-Iran negotiations in Rome, where uranium enrichment remains the red line. Ghost analyzes the dangerous escalation brewing between Israel and Iran, and Netanyahu's controversial appointment of a “messianic” new Shin Bet chief despite Supreme Court pushback. Add in rumors of drunken North Korean troops in Kursk, their rumored deployment to Burkina Faso, and escalating ICJ proceedings against Israel, and you've got one packed episode. Ghost ties it all together with sharp commentary, mind maps, and historical insight, questioning official narratives and highlighting the overlapping alliances driving the next phase of global realignment.
