Ramani, author of books such as 'Russia in Africa' and 'Putin's War on Ukraine: Russia's campaign for Global Counter-Revolution,' discusses the overarching narrative behind Russia's global resurgence and counter-revolutionary efforts. They delve into the ideological and pragmatic motivations of Vladimir Putin, Russia's historical sense of humiliation, and Putin's strategic alignment with global far-right movements. The conversation also covers the implications of a potential post-war period in Ukraine and the future of Russian imperialism in regions like the Black Sea, Baltic Sea, and South Caucasus. Through detailed analysis, Ramani elucidates the complexities of Russia's domestic politics, its international strategies, and the sociopolitical forces that sustain Putin's regime.----------CHAPTERS: 00:00 Introduction to Samuel Ramani and His Work00:21 Overview of Russia's Global Counter-Revolution02:06 Putin's Historical Ambitions and Russian Identity05:06 Russian Ideology and the Invasion of Ukraine08:50 Generational Divide in Support for the War13:40 Economic Stability and Rising Ultra-Nationalism20:46 Putin's Pragmatism vs. Ideology25:57 Reconciling Contradictions and Promoting Sovereign Democracy27:14 Russia's Multipolar World and Sovereignty Contradictions29:45 Russian Propaganda and Anti-Western Sentiment32:08 The Evolution of the Russia-Ukraine Conflict36:04 Russia's Global Influence and Counter-Revolutionary Strategy41:10 Putin's Grip on Power and Potential Threats44:54 The Future of Russian Aggression and Global Stability50:54 Conclusion and Final Thoughts----------

Zelensky said on Friday that "the basic document on security guarantees for Ukraine, and therefore for the whole of our Europe, is practically ready." I suspect this may be a stretch, but it is worth considering what might and might not work. Crucially, any guarantees must be credible, meaningful and sustainable, if they are to reassure Kyiv and deter Moscow.As I mention, the revised and updated version of my book We Need To Talk About Putin is published in the UK by Penguin on 13 November, and is available for pre-order. Elsewhere, it may take longer for physical editions to be on sale, but the e-book should be available around the same time.The podcast's corporate partner and sponsor is Conducttr, which provides software for innovative and immersive crisis exercises in hybrid warfare, counter-terrorism, civil affairs and similar situations.You can also follow my blog, In Moscow's Shadows, and become one of the podcast's supporting Patrons and gain question-asking rights and access to exclusive extra materials including the (almost-) weekly Govorit Moskva news briefing right here. Support the show

C dans l'air du 11 septembre 2025 - Drones russes en Pologne : l'OTAN fait feuDans la nuit du 9 au 10 septembre, dix-neuf drones ont pénétré l'espace aérien polonais, un fait inédit pour un pays membre de l'Alliance atlantique. Des avions de chasse polonais et néerlandais ont été mobilisés et ont traqué les engins jusqu'au petit matin. Un avion-ravitailleur de l'OTAN, un avion-radar italien, ainsi qu'une batterie antiaérienne Patriot allemande ont également été déployés.Au moins trois de ces drones — des Shahed de conception iranienne, désormais produits en Russie — ont été abattus. Cette nuit a pris les allures d'un exercice grandeur nature de défense aérienne de l'OTAN… sauf que ce n'en était pas un. L'un des drones a été retrouvé à seulement 35 kilomètres de la frontière ukrainienne, un autre s'est écrasé à 130 kilomètres de Varsovie, et plusieurs ont percuté des habitations civiles.En Pologne, la population est sous le choc. Le Premier ministre, Donald Tusk, a dénoncé une « provocation » et mis en garde contre le risque d'un « conflit ouvert » avec la Russie. Il a aussitôt appelé à l'activation de l'article 4 du traité de l'Atlantique Nord, qui prévoit des consultations entre alliés en cas de menace pour l'un d'entre eux. Il a également demandé la convocation du Conseil de sécurité des Nations unies ce jeudi, afin de « porter l'attention du monde entier sur cette attaque sans précédent de drones russes ».De son côté, Moscou a nié toute intention hostile, affirmant ne pas avoir visé la Pologne. Le ministère russe de la Défense a dénoncé des « mythes » propagés par Varsovie pour justifier une escalade du conflit en Ukraine. Pourtant, 19 drones, ce n'est pas une erreur isolée. D'où l'hypothèse d'un test délibéré, destiné à jauger les capacités de réaction de l'Otan, des pays européens et des États-Unis.La réponse européenne a été immédiate. Outre la mobilisation de moyens aériens par plusieurs États membres, les représentants des cinq principales puissances européennes — Allemagne, France, Italie, Pologne et Royaume-Uni — se sont réunis mercredi à Londres pour condamner un acte « sans précédent ».Le Conseil de l'Atlantique Nord a modifié, jeudi, le format de sa réunion hebdomadaire, la tenant dans le cadre de l'article 4, comme le réclamait la Pologne. Le secrétaire général de l'OTAN, Mark Rutte, s'est félicité de la rapidité de la réponse alliée face à cette « intrusion dangereuse, intentionnelle ou non », et a adressé un avertissement clair à Moscou : « Nous défendrons chaque centimètre du territoire de l'Otan. »Mais à Kiev, le président Volodymyr Zelensky a regretté le « manque d'action » des dirigeants occidentaux. Il a estimé que la Russie n'avait pas reçu de réponse ferme, qui aurait dû, selon lui, se traduire par des mesures concrètes.Quant à Donald Trump, il a réagi via son réseau Truth Social, dans un message énigmatique, au ton presque désinvolte : « Qu'est-ce qui se passe avec la Russie qui viole l'espace aérien polonais avec des drones ? C'est parti ! », a écrit le président américain.Alors, que s'est-il passé dans le ciel polonais ? Que révèle cette incursion de drones en Pologne ? Vladimir Poutine est-il en train de tester les limites de l'Otan ? Et quelle est la situation en Ukraine ?LES EXPERTS :- Marion Van Renterghem - Grand reporter, chroniqueuse à L'Express, et spécialiste des questions européennes- Gallagher Fenwick - Journaliste, spécialiste des Etats-Unis et des relations internationales- Alain Pirot - Journaliste, documentariste, spécialiste des questions de défense- Isabelle Lasserre - Correspondante diplomatique au Figaro

Edition No245 | 10-09-2025 - Poland has triggered NATO Article 4, in what is being interpreted by informed commentators as a significant sub-threshold escalation by Russia's, and explicit threat Europe and the NATO alliance, as well as marking the war's widening arc. Poland says a mass of Russian “drone-type objects” broke into its airspace as Moscow hammered Ukraine. Polish and allied jets — including Dutch F-35s — scrambled and shot several down. Warsaw shut airports, ordered people indoors, and did something only anticipated in the gravest moments: invoked Article 4 of the North Atlantic Treaty. “Last night the Polish airspace was violated by a huge number of Russian drones. Those drones that posed a direct threat were shot down,” Prime Minister Donald Tusk wrote. (Associated Press via NPR/OPB, Sept. 10, 2025)The EU's top diplomat Kaja Kallas called it “the most serious European airspace violation by Russia since the war began,” adding that “indications suggest it was intentional, not accidental.” (Reuters, Sept. 10, 2025; ABC News, Sept. 10, 2025) This is no isolated scare. It fits a pattern: missiles and drones “straying” into NATO skies, GPS jamming from Kaliningrad, and the return of Zapad, Russia's most confrontational military drills with Belarus. Tonight, we map the pattern, the risks, and what comes next.

Nel discorso sullo Stato dell’Unione a Strasburgo, Ursula von der Leyen ha invocato maggiore autonomia europea in difesa, energia, tecnologia ed economia. Sull’Ucraina, proposta l’utilizzazione dei fondi russi congelati per prestiti a Kiev e un’alleanza per la produzione di droni (6 miliardi di euro). Sul fronte economico, annunciata una tabella di marcia per rafforzare il mercato unico entro il 2028, liberalizzando servizi, energia e telecomunicazioni. In materia ambientale, confermata la riduzione del 90% delle emissioni al 2040, con il futuro dell’auto orientato all’elettrico, ma restano dubbi sui costi. L’industria automobilistica europea, riunita a Monaco, chiede più flessibilità normativa, appello sostenuto anche dal cancelliere tedesco Merz. Ne parliamo con Adriana Cerretelli, editorialista Sole 24 Ore Bruxelles.Macron nomina nuovo premier il giovane LecornuEmmanuel Macron ha nominato premier Sébastien Lecornu, 39 anni, ministro delle Forze Armate e suo fedelissimo, dopo le dimissioni di François Bayrou. Lecornu eredita un contesto complicato: una manovra da 43,8 miliardi, un voto di sfiducia e una maggioranza frammentata. Dovrà costruire una coalizione stabile, con LFI che continua a chiedere la destituzione di Macron. La nomina segna anche una rivincita politica del presidente, che aveva scelto Lecornu già a dicembre. Intanto, proteste in strada e oltre 100 arresti, soprattutto a Parigi. Il commento è di Marc Lazar, Presidente della School of Government dell'Università Luiss.Istat, boom prezzi alimentari: +30% rispetto al 2019 Secondo l’Istat, a luglio 2025 i prezzi degli alimentari in Italia sono saliti del 30,1% rispetto al 2019, meno della media UE (+39,2%). Germania e Spagna hanno registrato rincari maggiori, mentre la Francia un aumento più contenuto (+27,5%). L’aumento dei beni alimentari (88,5% del “carrello della spesa”) ha allargato il divario con l’inflazione generale, influenzata anche dai prezzi energetici: a agosto il differenziale ha raggiunto 1,9 punti percentuali. Interviene Massimo Baldini, docente di Scienza delle Finanze presso l' Università di Modena e Reggio Emilia.Novo Nordisk taglierà 9.000 posti di lavoro. Nel 2025 stime profitti riviste tre volte. Pesa la concorrenzaDopo aver perso il 60% in Borsa e 170 miliardi di euro di capitalizzazione, Novo Nordisk annuncia 9.000 tagli (11% della forza lavoro) per risparmiare 1,3 miliardi di dollari entro il 2026. Riviste al ribasso per la terza volta le stime di crescita dei profitti, ora previste tra il 4% e il 10% contro il 27% stimato a inizio anno. L’azienda punta a riorganizzarsi per concentrarsi su diabete e obesità, ma soffre la concorrenza di Eli Lilly, che domina il mercato Usa. Tentativi legali contro copie non autorizzate del semaglutide non hanno fermato la perdita di quote. Il nuovo Ceo Doustdar parla di decisioni difficili ma necessarie per il futuro. Il commento è affidato a Biagio Simonetta, Il Sole 24 Ore.

Update from John Carter - 9-9-25

I helgen träffades Ukraina av den största attacken från Ryssland sen krigets start. Över 800 drönare och 13 robotar skickades mot Ukraina och minst 4 har bekräftats döda i attackerna, enligt president Zelenskyj. För första gången sen krigsutbrottet attackerade Ryssland en regeringsbyggnad i Kiev – bör det ses som en eskalation från rysk sida, hur är läget vid fronten just nu och vad kan omvärlden göra för att få till en vapenvila mellan länderna?

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: As Moscow ramps up its aerial attacks on Kyiv, Russia is massing 100,000 troops in Donetsk, fueling fears that a major new offensive may be imminent. President Trump vows harsher sanctions on Russia after this weekend's strikes on the Ukrainian capital—but questions remain about whether he'll follow through. One of the deadliest shootings in Jerusalem in years leaves six people dead and dozens wounded, with Hamas quickly claiming responsibility. And in today's Back of the Brief—a warning system breakdown allows a Houthi drone to strike an Israeli airport, forcing a shutdown and injuring two.

As Russian forces continue striking Kyiv, U.S. President Donald Trump has once again made sweeping claims about his role in achieving global peace. Speaking in Washington, D.C., he said that within just seven months, his administration had managed to halt seven wars around the world. Critics argue that Trump often exaggerates his accomplishments. In the past, he claimed credit for preventing a potential nuclear clash between India and Pakistan - an assertion the Indian government dismissed, stating he had no role in the matter.Join this channel for exclusive access and bonus content: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkbwLFZhawBqK2b9gW08z3g/join Five Minute News is an Evergreen Podcast, covering politics, inequality, health and climate - delivering independent, unbiased and essential news for the US and across the world.

After a Ukrainian government building was damaged in a Russian strike for the first time, Donald Trump told reporters outside the White House that he was ready to implement new sanctions against Moscow. So, what might ‘phase two' of a US sanctions package look like, and could it impact the Kremlin's ability to finance its ongoing invasion?To discuss Washington's options, we're joined by Stephanie Baker, a senior writer in Bloomberg's investigations team and author of ‘Punishing Putin: Inside the Global Economic War to Bring Down Russia'. Plus, Mikey Kay from the Security Brief on BBC News gives his take on how this latest strike could have happened.Today's episode is presented by Lucy Hockings and Vitaly Shevchenko.The producers were Laurie Kalus and Julia Webster.

It's Tuesday, September 9th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Nigerian Muslims kill and injure Christian farmers On August 27th, when five Nigerian Christians went to check on their farms  located in Bauchi State, they found Fulani Muslim herdsmen grazing their cattle on the land owned by the Christians.  The argument led to the Muslims killing a Christian farmer and wounding three others, reports Morning Star News. Rev. Samson Habila, local chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria, said, “We solicit that we all go on our knees for prayers to our loving God to bring this conflict to a swift end for the betterment of our land and people.” In a separate incident on the same day, Muslim herdsmen assaulted two Christian women and a teenager who were on their way back from their farm. Naomi Sabo, was cut on her hand with a machete, her teenage son was cut with a machete, and a third victim, another Christian woman, had her ear cut off by the Muslims. In a span of two weeks in late August, hundreds of Nigerian Christian farmers lost their crops to Muslim Fulani herdsmen who took their cattle to graze on them. According to Open Doors' 2025 World Watch List, Nigeria is the 7th most dangerous country on Earth for Christians. Of the 4,476 Christians killed for their faith worldwide during the reporting period, 3,100 of those Christians -- or 69% -- lived in Nigeria. Russia launched 800 drones against Ukraine Russia has stepped up its drone attacks on Ukraine, in its largest salvo since the beginning of the war, reports KGOU Radio. The aggressor launched 800 drones over the weekend — hitting the government building in Kyiv for the first time. Japanese Prime Minister resigns Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba has announced his resignation.   Japan's economy is still hurting. The nation's real Gross Domestic Product is just now recovering to 2019 levels, after an extended 5-year recession. Japan's national debt is the highest in the world, at 255% of GDP.   The Japanese government's proposed budget for 2026 represents another 8% increase, year over year.  Indeed, 27% of the budget is set aside just to service the nation's debt. G7 vs BRICS The Group of 7 or “G7” nations includes Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States.  BRICS is now recognized as the competing force opposing the G7 nations. BRICS includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates. In a BRICS summit, spearheaded by Brazil's socialist president, Luiz Lula, the mostly southern and eastern world powers worked on what they called “joint responses to tariffs and sanctions under the Trump administration and discussions on a multipolar world order.” Thousands of Brazilian protestors object to trial of Jair Bolsonaro Tens of thousands of Brazilians have taken the streets over in the last week, protesting the trial of Brazil's former president, Jair Bolsonaro, reports the Associated Press. He is facing 46 years in prison for allegedly supporting an attempt to overturn the 2022 election. Plus, Bolsonaro's opponents also claim that he encouraged a protest on January 8, 2023 that resulted in several millions of dollars of damage to the capital building. Brazil's Supreme Court is expecting to sentence the former president later this week. Bolsonaro was a pro-life president, and opposed homosexual marriage for his country. The current president, Luiz Lula, has committed himself to the pro-abortion and LGBTQ agenda for the nation since his election in 2022. 47% of Brazilians receive welfare In a related story, 47% of Brazilians receive a welfare check from the government. The most welfare dependent states are in the north and northeast of the country. These twelve states record more welfare recipients than jobs among their residents. The socialist candidate in the last election, Lula de Silva, won 10 out of 12 of these states. He only won the votes with three other states in the election. God is sovereign over all. Jesus told Pontius Pilate, “You would have no authority over Me at all unless it had been given you from above.” Company that profits from porn fined $5 million The Canadian company Aylo has been fined $5 million by the US Federal Trade Commission for portraying certain egregious forms of sexual sin on its websites (which include PornHub).   This amounts to a slap on the wrist for a company operating on an estimated $700 million of annual income. That's about 0.7%. The Federal Trade Commission has charged the company with allowing non-consensual and child-abuse related material on its websites. Democrats blocking all Trump's civilian nominees The U.S. government has come to loggerheads. Thus far, not a single Trump civilian nominee has been confirmed by a voice vote through the US Senate — due to Democrat filibusters. That's the first time this has occurred in the nation's government in a century. That compares to 65% of Trump's nominees clearing the Senate by voice vote in his first term and 57% of Joe Biden's nominees confirmed by voice vote.   GOP Senate Majority Leader John Thune is considering pulling the nuclear option, or a rule change, to speed up the approval process, according to the Daily Caller. Few Americans, Christians included, believe we are sinful American Christians are pretty much agreed on this statement: “Sin is real, but people are basically good at heart.” That according to the latest George Barna survey. The pollsters discovered that 82% of Catholics and 70% of self-identified born-again Christians believe in “The basic goodness of humanity.” And only 57% of Catholics and 85% of self-identified born again Christians believe Romans 3:23 — that “All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.”  Meryl Streep to voice Aslan in new “Chronicles of Narnia” And finally, Netflix plans to release the next movie installment of C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia story in November of 2026. Filming began last month which included a well-publicized street chase of Jadis, “the White Witch” last weekend. Brace yourself. Greta Gerwig, best known for directing the feminist hit film “Barbie” released in 2023, is directing this next Narnia release. Not surprisingly, Meryl Streep is slated to voice Aslan.  (The character of Aslan, Lewis's Lion, is meant as a personification of Jesus Christ). Movieguide, the Christian ministry led by founder Ted Baehr, calls this “a dangerous cultural shift,” and has initiated a petition to "respect the theological foundation of the story.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, September 9th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

Additionally, the conversation delves into how the West can protect itself from Russian aggression, the role of Trump in enabling Putin, and the dangerous reality of appeasement strategies within European diplomacy.

Edition No244 | 09-09-2025 - America steps back from resisting information warfare and foreign interference, just as the barrage from unfriendly actors intensifies. Nothing screams sovereignty like allowing disingenuous foreign influence to pollute your information sphere. Today, the United States just unplugged part of its information defense grid — ending joint anti-disinformation pacts with 22 partner countries. The timing? Perfect, if you're the Kremlin, Beijing, or Tehran, that is. We'll explain what exactly was shut down, how it fits a broader rollback of U.S. defenses against foreign information and cyber-operations, why science and media are squarely in the crosshairs as well, and what adversaries are doing right now to flood our feeds, weaken trust in our institutions and fracture our democracies. Late on September 8–9, 2025, European governments received formal notice from the U.S. State Department: Washington is terminating memorandum of understanding that underpinned a common playbook for spotting and exposing foreign disinformation from Russia, China, and Iran. ----------SOURCES: https://meduza.io/en/news/2025/09/09/u-s-tells-europe-it-s-withdrawing-from-joint-effort-to-combat-foreign-disinformation-including-russia-shttps://kyivindependent.com/us-steps-back-from-joint-efforts-to-combat-misinformation-ft-reports/https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/sep/09/science-under-siege-weaponised-disinformation-michael-mann-peter-hotezhttps://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-europe-russia-disinformation-memorandum-b2823146.htmlhttps://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2025/09/9/7529949/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/07/business/russia-disinformation-trump.htmlhttps://www.ft.com/content/d31b56e3-aca9-4ee7-af5a-abec74830455https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/07/business/russia-disinformation-trump.html ----------SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISERA project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's front-line towns.https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur events of the first half of the year in Lviv, Kyiv and Odesa were a huge success.

After a shift at Zepeddie's Pizzeria in Charlotte, North Carolina, Iryna Zarutska boarded the train and quickly made a decision where to sit. Did she think about her safety? Did she fear sitting in front of a Black man with dreadlocks and a face twisted into worried knots? Or did she find a seat far away from him, just on a hunch?The truth is that Iryna had no real choice. If she avoided the seat in front of the Black man, she might look like a racist. She had no reason to fear him, after all, because she was sympathetic to the plight of racism in America and even had the words “Black Lives Matter” and “I can't breathe” scrawled on a chalkboard in her room. She was learning to speak English, and what better way than to get to know the villains and the heroes in America in 2025? She was just 23, having arrived in the US at the age of 20, with a degree in art and restoration from Synergy College in Kyiv. She joined a settlement of other Ukrainian refugees in Charlotte. She knew enough to tuck her hair into her cap, keep her glasses on, and not look like the blonde beauty that has now blanketed all social media. If you look like that, no one will leave you alone. But a little fear would have done Iryna good, as it would do any young woman riding the train at night. Fear is her only protection. The problem is, when it comes to Black men, white women are shamed out of that fear. They don't want to appear like racists or Karens. They won't grab their purse in an elevator or avoid sitting too close to a Black man. They don't want to buy into the stereotype that has white women fearing Black men for centuries.As she boarded the train that night heading home, she could not have known that the man she sat in front of had thirteen previous arrests and was diagnosed with schizophrenia. She wrapped her arms around her body and seemed to display a sense of foreboding. She looked afraid of something or someone, just not of the guy sitting behind her.With her earbuds canceling out all noise, she might not have heard the man take out his knife. Before she knew it, he was stabbing her neck, killing her. Did the other passengers scream? Did anyone try to do anything to alert her to the danger? No. They were too afraid. When her murderer finished, he paced around the train as the passengers huddled in fear, with blood dripping all around him, her blood. She escaped the war in Ukraine only to be murdered by a country also at war, at war with the truth. The truth about crime, about mental health, about Defund the Police, about bad governance.There was a time when this would have been a major news story. Now, after 2020, this story would have to be memory-holed, like every other story where a Black man is the perp. The only stories that go viral now or become major news stories are those that fit the narrative - it's white men, incels, “white supremacists,” and MAGA you have to fear. So, how would Iryna have known to even be afraid or cautious that she might want to find a seat far from everyone on the train? Maybe she wouldn't wear her headphones. Maybe she would look around at everyone, even the guy sitting behind her. But she didn't. Here are Megyn Kelly, Rich Lowry, and Charles C. W. Cooke.Stories like these are reported on local news, but they never capture the attention of the major networks or legacy media, like this story of a woman in Chicago who was beaten to a pulp by a repeat offender. Reporting on white women as victims might devalue their brand. It might generate outrage and an uproar that they are contributing to racism and discrimination. But what about Iryna and other young women just like her? Will we send them out into the world without warning that violence can come at any time, no matter the skin color?And why is everyone okay with the double standard? The silence by the media on deaths or killings that don't involve a white man? How do they get away with lying to their viewers and their readers? Has the New York Times even covered this story? If they do, it will likely be only to call out “MAGA” for turning it into a story about race.“Don't be a Good White Liberal” Those were the words I told my daughter many years ago when she went off to college. “Always protect yourself, no matter who it is. Don't let white guilt prevent you from being cautious.” I had to tell her that. I had to drill it into her head. It would be our secret. She would never have to tell anyone, but she would know. What prompted me to tell her that was the story of Lily Burk from 2009. She was the daughter of a progressive Liberal who helped her mother feed the homeless in Los Angeles. She attended one of the expensive, fancy private schools I could never have afforded for my daughter. One day, Burk wanted to practice driving, so her mother sent her out to run some errands. She happened to see one of the homeless people she fed for charity. She knew him. He knew her. He pressured her to drive him to an ATM and get him some money. Her card didn't work. So he bashed her head against the dashboard and murdered her.That was long before Black Lives Matter, before Defund the Police, before cashless bail. Even then, it wasn't exactly easy to talk about a crime like this, much less warn our daughters as they headed off to college. But that story haunted me. Even now, I can't imagine what it must have been like for her mother to wonder, How could I have let her take my car? How could I have raised her to be so trusting? Why didn't I tell her to be cautious even around homeless Black men? I knew I had to get the message across to my daughter, Don't be a Good White Liberal at the cost of your own safety. You'd think I would have followed my own advice. But white guilt runs deep. That's why in 2023, I fell for a scam. I thought it was a call from my bank. I could tell the caller was Black, so I was as accommodating and trusting as I could be, not wanting to seem like a Karen. He told me that someone had stolen my bank card, and he listed my purchases. Somehow, he had my account information. Then he said, “Did you wire $4,000 to someone?” And in a panic, I said NO! He said he'd stop the payment, but I had to confirm that it was me. That was my mistake. If I hadn't been trying not to be a racist, I might have doubted him or asked him if I could call him back, but I was too worried about his feelings. Once he got my confirmation, he was able to disappear with $5,000 from my bank account, all the money I had. I've never told that story because I am ashamed of how stupid I was, how easily manipulated I was, and that white guilt. It turned out to be a harbinger of things to come. The next year, I was canceled by Hollywood and called a “racist,” which would wipe out my income. Oh, the irony.The story here isn't to fear Black men or that Black men are more dangerous. It's that white guilt often means ignoring the gut instinct for self-protection. The false narrative pushed out by Hollywood, the legacy media, and the Democrats - that only white men are bad or violent will ultimately make all women unsafe, and hiding the truth to fit the narrative will get more women like Iryna killed.Every night I go to sleep, I worry about my daughter. I want Trump to send the National Guard into Cleveland. I want her to be protected while living in such close proximity to a high-crime city. But if she can't be protected and the streets can't be safe, then let her remember to protect herself, to be aware of who and what is around her at all times. I made her watch the video. I don't want her to be another girl on the train, failed by weak leaders and undone by white guilt. Iryna deserved better. She deserved to fulfill her life as an artist. To maybe get married, maybe travel back to Ukraine when the war is over. But most of all, she deserved to be safe, to be left alone, to make it to her stop just so she could get off the train and find her way back home safe and sound.The GoFundMe for Iryna has now raised $112,616. // This is a public episode.

Donald Trump rolled out the red carpet for Vladimir Putin in Alaska last month and came up empty handed...  No ceasefire, no concessions, nothing. So what does the future of the war in Ukraine look like? We turn to journalist Tim Mak who has been based in Kiev since the start of the war. Tim is the founder of The Counteroffensive, a Substack that chronicles life in Ukraine and the agony of this war. Tim breaks down the current state of the war, and he's not too optimistic about the possibility of peace anytime soon. 70% of Ukrainians believe the war will still be going on a year from now. And if a deal is struck, how does the world make sure that Russia doesn't just attack again?

SHOW SCHEDULE  9-4 The show begins in the EU, fretting Kyiv, Paris, London, Berlin. 1578 ALEX-TRAIMAN-JNS-9-4.mp3 Guest Name: Alex TRAIman MALCOLM HOENLEIN @CONF_OF_PRES @MHOENLEIN1 Affiliation: CEO and Jerusalem Bureau Chief for Jewish News Service (JNS) Summary: The discussion focuses on the Israel-Hamas conflict, emphasizing the Israeli government's preference for all hostage releases and Hamas's surrender for an end to the war. It details the IDF's military campaign in Gaza City, the challenges of urban warfare, and the ongoing threat from Iranian-backed proxies like Hamas and the Houthis. The long-term outlook suggests a complex, "unclean" end to the conflict, with continued terror attacks likely. ANATOL-LIEVEN-KYIV-9-4.mp3 Guest Name: Anatol LIeven Affiliation: Eurasia Project Director of the Quinsey Institute for Responsible Statecraft Summary: The conversation critically examines a proposal for a Eurocentric security force in Ukraine, highlighting its practical unfeasibility given European military limitations and domestic fiscal challenges, particularly in France. It suggests the proposal might be political grandstanding or a strategy to "trap" the US. Ukraine's strategy aims to wear Russia down to concede on demands, recognizing they cannot achieve a full military victory. ANNA-BORSCHEVSKAYA-9-4.mp3 Guest Name: Anna Borschevskaya MALCOLM HOENLEIN @CONF_OF_PRES @MHOENLEIN1 Affiliation: The Washington Institute Summary: This segment discusses Vladimir Putin's vision for a multipolar world with diminished US influence, emphasizing a strategic triangle of Russia, China, and India. It highlights Russia's increasing cooperation with Iran and Belarus, despite conventional wisdom. Putin is seen as willing to accept Russia's junior position to China, viewing it as a necessary alliance against a perceived Western attack on Russia. CHRIS-RIEGEL-HBM-9-4.mp3 Guest Name: Chris RIEGEL Affiliation: CEO of #SCALAREPORT: CHRIS RIEGEL CEO, SCALA.COM @STRATACACHE.  Summary: The discussion centers on High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) as a critical innovation driving the AI revolution. SK Hynix has surpassed competitors by vertically stacking memory chips, overcoming the "memory wall" to allow faster data access for AI processors. This technology is crucial for AI development, with the US leading innovation. Strict US and EU export controls aim to prevent China from acquiring advanced chip-making tools. CLIFF-MAY-ENERGY-9-4.mp3 Guest Name: Cliff May Affiliation: Founder and President of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies Summary: The conversation challenges current energy policies, noting that fossil fuels still provide over 81% of global energy despite decades of renewables promotion. Cliff May argues that climate policy often weakens the US while adversaries like China and Russia continue to rely on coal and hydrocarbons without climate concerns. He emphasizes energy security as intrinsic to national security, criticizing government subsidies as ineffective and prone to cronyism. COL-GRANT-NEWWSHAM-ROK-DPRK-9-4.mp3 Guest Name: Grant NEWSHam Affiliation: Colonel, United States Marine Corps retired, and author of "When China Attacks" Summary: The discussion traces the cynical division of Korea at the 38th parallel and the resulting prosperity of South Korea versus the starvation in North Korea. It highlights the current South Korean administration's pro-North Korea stance and its alignment with China and Russia. Kim Jong-un's presence at a Beijing military parade signifies a strengthening, serious alliance among these adversarial nations, aiming to intimidate the West. DALLAS-BIENHOFF-DSVID-LIVINGSTON-MARS-9-4.mp3 Guest Name: Dallas BIEnhof and David Livingston Affiliation:  Space Systems Architect for Offworld.ai; David Livingston: Dr. Space of The Space Show Summary: The discussion defines cis-lunar space as the volume around the Moon, highlighting planned missions and the Artemis program as a key driver. It explores the utility of Lagrange points for stable orbital stations and the need for extensive infrastructure, including transportation nodes and propellant depots, to support a permanent human presence on the Moon and Mars. Future plans also include resource utilization and space tourism. JULIA-CARTWRIGHT-HOUSING-9-4.mp3 Guest Name: Julia Cartwright Affiliation: Senior Research Fellow in Law and Economics at the American Institute for Economic Research Summary: The conversation examines the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as a major impediment to housing development, particularly for rebuilding after wildfires. Julia Cartwright details how CEQA, along with restrictive building and zoning codes, creates costly delays, making California the most expensive state for construction. This bureaucracy disproportionately impacts affordable housing and is exacerbated by entities like the California Coastal Commission. MICHAEL-BERNSTAM-9-4.mp3 Guest Name: Michael Bernstam Affiliation: Hoover Institution Summary: The segment discusses Russia's energy deals with China, including the Power of Siberia pipelines, noting financing and pricing disputes. Michael Bernstam highlights Russia's struggle with declining oil prices, leading to budget deficits and losses for major oil companies. China and India are benefiting from discounted Russian crude, processing it for sale to Europe, bypassing sanctions. Secondary sanctions on China could disrupt this trade. MOHSEN-SAZEGARA-IRAN-9-4.mp3 Guest Name: Mohsen Sazagara Affiliation: Democracy activist from Iran Summary: Mohsen Sazagara confirms Iran's rearmament efforts, fueled by its leadership's belief in success against Israel and continued anti-US policies. Iran is seeking arms from Russia (via Belarus) and China (via North Korea), though Russia is reportedly less generous than expected. The speaker notes growing internal opposition within Iran and a high probability of another military conflict with Israel, especially concerning nuclear development or air defense rebuilding. SADANAND-DHUME-MODI-9-4.mp3 Guest Name: Sadanand Dhume Affiliation: American Enterprise Institute, writes "East to East" column for the Wall Street Journal Summary: The discussion analyzes Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to China for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, amidst declining US-India relations due to tariffs. India's large farm lobby, especially dairy, heavily influences trade policy. Despite diplomatic gestures, India maintains vigilance against Chinese aggression due to deep-rooted border disputes and China's close ties with Pakistan, indicating India won't align closely with China. VERONIQUE-DERUGY-9-4.mp3 Guest Name: Veronique de Rugy Affiliation: Mercatus Center Summary: Veronique de Rugy strongly critiques the proposal for a US sovereign wealth fund, arguing it's a poor idea given the US's high debt-to-GDP ratio and existing budget deficits. She contends that borrowing to invest would be fiscally unsound and would lead to "cronyism on steroids," as government investment decisions are driven by political priorities rather than viable market opportunities, unlike private sector investments.
