O Major-General do exército português Carlos Branco que tem partilhado periodicamente na RFI as suas análises sobre os conflitos vigentes no Médio Oriente e entre Kiev e Moscovo, lançou no passado mês de Julho um livro especificamente dedicado às raízes da guerra na Ucrânia. Intitulado "Ucrânia, variações de uma guerra inacabada", este livro compila uma série de artigos que o Major-General publicou nestes últimos anos sobre a história recente da Ucrânia. Autor de cinco livros publicados sobre a Guerra Fria, o Afeganistão, ou ainda sobre o conflito na ex-Jugoslávia, o Major-General Carlos Branco analisa ao pormenor e desfaz o discurso oficial em torno do conflito na Ucrânia, baseando-se em fontes documentais e na sua experiência em diversas organizações internacionais, nomeadamente a Aliança Atlântica, no seio da qual ocupou o cargo de Director da Divisão de Cooperação e Segurança Regional, do Estado-Maior Militar Internacional da NATO, em Bruxelas. Em entrevista à RFI, o Major-General Carlos Branco começa por apresentar no que consiste a sua obra sobre a Ucrânia. RFI: Do que fala concretamente o seu livro? Major-General Carlos Branco: Este livro é a compilação de mais de 70 artigos que eu fui publicando sobre o tema da guerra na Ucrânia, com uma série de artigos anteriores ao início da guerra propriamente dita em 2022, artigos publicados a seguir a 2014. Porque, na prática, a guerra não começa em 2022, começa em 2014 e é fundamentalmente uma reflexão no seu conjunto, claro, de uma uma interpretação realista das relações internacionais aplicadas ao caso concreto da guerra na Ucrânia. Basicamente, é uma análise centrada no papel das grandes potências na cena internacional. Neste caso concreto, o papel dos Estados Unidos e da Rússia e, no fundo, apresentar este conflito fundamentalmente com duas vertentes: a vertente internacional que envolve a afirmação hegemónica dos Estados Unidos. É apenas um capítulo, a guerra na Ucrânia, como outros, o Irão, como agora mais recentemente estas iniciativas para a Gronelândia, o controlo da Venezuela, o controlo do Canal do Panamá, etc. Portanto, uma dinâmica de conflito entre grandes potências e, nesse caso, uma tentativa dos Estados Unidos chegarem às fronteiras da Rússia, algo que uma grande potência não autoriza, não autoriza a Rússia, como também não autorizam os Estados Unidos, como também não autoriza a China. E depois há a outra dinâmica, que é um conflito que é fundamentalmente interno na Ucrânia, entre os diferentes grupos ucranianos. Porque a Ucrânia não é um país uno, é um país multinacional, é um país com vários grupos étnicos. E o que nós estamos a assistir é a tentativa de um grupo prevalecer relativamente aos outros, impondo-lhes uma série de coisas que para eles são inaceitáveis. Podíamos começar pelo exemplo da língua. O grupo que nesta altura se encontra no poder na Ucrânia, tenta que a língua ucraniana seja a única língua falada na Ucrânia. Quando nós sabemos perfeitamente que por toda a Europa democrática existem vários países multilingues e isso não é de modo nenhum uma excepção. São vários os países em que isso acontece. Não se compreende porque é que isto também não acontece na Ucrânia, um país que tem vários grupos étnicos e linguísticos. Portanto, a estes dois confrontos, este segundo confronto acabou por ser um confronto Ucrânia-Rússia. Uma vez que a esmagadora maioria da população do leste da Ucrânia é a população russa. Quando a população russa começou a ser atacada no rescaldo de um golpe de Estado de 2014 que derrubou um governo, um Presidente da República democraticamente eleito e instrumentalizado, sem qualquer margem para dúvidas e com a imensa evidência, por parte dos Estados Unidos, essas populações naturalmente reagiram. E houve, portanto, depois, uma solidariedade russa entre Moscovo e os seus 'irmãos' russos, que se encontravam inseridos na Ucrânia. Portanto, o livro elabora muito à volta dessas duas dinâmicas. Como é que elas se interceptam, como é que elas se influem mutuamente e como é que, em última análise, uma acaba por servir de instrumento à materialização da outra. Concretamente, refiro-me ao projecto hegemónico norte-americano que procura impor à Rússia uma derrota estratégica. Uma derrota estratégica essa que terá seguramente várias matizes, mas que fundamentalmente passa por colocar um governo que lhe seja favorável no Kremlin. E, portanto, a partir daí, desenvolver todas as suas acções, nomeadamente no domínio económico, do controlo energético, etc, etc. Se isso acontecesse, seria um controlo mundial por parte dos Estados Unidos e isso não vai acontecer. O que é de salientar, é mais um erro de cálculo estratégico dos Estados Unidos que nos tem vindo a habituar. Tiveram erros de cálculo no Vietname, no Afeganistão, no Iraque, na Líbia. É mais um erro de cálculo estratégico no Irão, porque as coisas saíram quase que diametralmente opostas àquilo que eles queriam fazer. E é sempre a mesma tentativa de substituir um governo por outro que lhe seja favorável. E a partir daí, conseguem manobrar. Foi o que fizeram em Kiev. E portanto, Kiev, na prática, é peão deste grande xadrez entre as grandes potências. RFI: Precisamente, desfaz uma série de mitos em torno das raízes da guerra, aquilo que foi apresentado como uma revolução em 2014, também desfaz os mitos sobre o que acontece dentro da própria Ucrânia, também sobre o estado da oposição dentro da Rússia e também dos próprios interesses, não só dos Estados Unidos, como também da Europa. No meio deste conflito, como é que está a Europa no meio disto tudo? Major-General Carlos Branco: A Europa está num beco sem saída porque com estes dirigentes que estão no poder nesta altura, é difícil ver uma saída para este conflito. Inicialmente, a Europa acabou por aliar-se aos Estados Unidos e apoiar os Estados Unidos neste esforço contra a Rússia. Temos presente, por exemplo, a questão das sanções, etc. Mas a Europa, no meio disto tudo, foi extremamente prejudicada. Por exemplo, a questão energética. O modelo de desenvolvimento industrial europeu baseava-se muito na energia barata que era fornecida pela Rússia e isso acabou. E nós sabemos quem é que fez isso. Os Estados Unidos não permitiram que existisse essa relação entre a Europa, mas fundamentalmente, entre a Alemanha e a Rússia. Isso não é nada de agora, é uma coisa antiga. E a Europa, nesta altura, acaba por, em termos energéticos, consumir muito mais caro. O gás natural, vai comprá-lo aos Estados Unidos e não só, mas é muito mais caro e está a ter grandes dificuldades do ponto de vista do desenvolvimento económico e industrial, fundamentalmente porque não tem as matérias-primas que são indispensáveis para o novo paradigma económico, que passa fundamentalmente pela computação, a computação quântica, grande consumo de dados e a Europa não tem terras raras, para não falar na questão energética. Portanto, tem uma grande dependência. Mas o que é curioso é que a Europa está a falar para dentro, porque quando fala de autonomia, tem que perceber que não é autónoma e portanto, tem que considerar este elemento no processo de decisão e provavelmente terá que se adaptar do ponto de vista das políticas. Mas eu acho que o problema da Europa não é só a questão das matérias-primas. Repare, se nós tivermos em consideração as grandes tecnológicas mundiais, as 'sete magníficas' são todas americanas e nenhuma delas é europeia. E além disso, temos também a juntar-se a este grupo de grandes tecnológicas, também as chinesas. E quando falamos, por exemplo, de 'chips', a Europa é absolutamente deficitária nessa matéria. E se quisermos fazer uma análise mais profunda e verificarmos, por exemplo, as patentes nos mais variados domínios registadas pelos europeus e registadas pelos americanos e pela China, então pela China, muito mais, nós cada vez percebemos que existe uma 'décalage' aí. Repare, há cerca de talvez 20 anos, o PIB agregado da Europa era muito semelhante ao dos Estados Unidos. Hoje é cerca de dois terços. Portanto, quando falamos em dados concretos, nós podemos ter uma dimensão despida de preconceitos ideológicos e perceber que a Europa está numa regressão. Portanto, devia ter tomado uma série de medidas que pudessem inverter esse caminho. Mas as pessoas que estão nesta altura à frente da União Europeia e também dos países da Europa, não são pessoas qualificadas e, portanto, o caminho é escuro. Por exemplo, o comportamento da Europa relativamente a esta guerra na Rússia é uma coisa absolutamente difícil de explicar. RFI: Precisamente, no seu livro fala da deterioração das relações da Europa não só com a China, mas também com a Rússia. E, portanto, tendo em conta que a Europa, ou pelo menos os seus dirigentes, conhecem qual é a agenda dos Estados Unidos relativamente a este conflito, como é que se explica que hoje em dia, os líderes europeus, nomeadamente do Reino Unido, da Alemanha e da França, estejam actualmente com um discurso que tende a dar crédito à possibilidade de um conflito aberto com a Rússia? Major-General Carlos Branco: A explicação é difícil. Há várias possíveis. Uma delas é o facto de terem prometido às suas populações mundos e fundos e agora têm um nada para lhes dar. Não têm nada para lhes dar porque andaram a enganar as suas populações. Andaram a dizer que a Rússia não tinha mísseis, não tinha tecnologia, era apenas uma estação de serviços com armas nucleares. Portanto, deram uma imagem absolutamente errada da situação. Inclusivamente alinharam também num erro de cálculo estratégico, descurando a história. E nós sabemos o que tem sido o comportamento dos europeus relativamente às diferentes Rússias desde o século XVII que tem havido sempre tentativas de invasão da Rússia. A última foi no século XX, esta levada a cabo pelo presidente Biden. Era mais uma aventura, mas essa aí a iniciativa vinha do outro lado do Atlântico. A situação dos europeus relativamente à Rússia é diferente de país para país. Há um ódio visceral entre os russos e os ingleses. Relativamente à Alemanha, a situação tem outros matizes. Mas para responder à sua questão, esta gente andou a dizer que o caminho era a vitória, que íamos ser todos muito felizes e iriam fazer-se grandes negócios na Rússia, aliás, preferencialmente provocando a implosão da Federação e fazer negócios com as diferentes federações e ganhar muito dinheiro. Onde é que estamos? Agora estamos passados cinco anos numa Rússia que está na mó de cima do ponto de vista militar, como do ponto de vista económico, independentemente dos ataques que sofreu na sua profundidade, fundamentalmente nos últimos dois meses, o que é um facto, é que a Rússia não vai claudicar. E cada vez apresenta uma capacidade bélica maior. Como se está a verificar agora, há quase uma semana que Kiev está em permanente ataque e parece que estes dirigentes não perceberam ainda que se atingiu o 'impasse doloroso' e que se calhar, era altura de negociar. Era a altura de falar, era altura de pôr a diplomacia em cima da mesa. Mas isso não vai acontecer porque não estou a ver a Kaja Kallas (chefe da diplomacia da UE) com os requisitos mínimos para se encontrar na função em que se encontra. Tivemos, aliás, uma coisa absolutamente chocante. Houve uma reunião dos ministros das Finanças do G20 (esta semana) nos Estados Unidos. Repare bem nisto: o ministro das Finanças russo foi convidado pelo ministro das Finanças americano porque os Estados Unidos eram a nação anfitriã do evento e os países europeus recusaram-se a tirar uma fotografia dos participantes na reunião. Portanto, com esta gente, não vai haver nunca diplomacia. A situação vai-se agravar ou vai continuar. A isto acrescentam-se as iniciativas de Trump relativamente ao Médio Oriente, o petróleo, independentemente daquelas tiradas de Trump para que o petróleo afinal suba menos um bocadinho. O que é um facto é que continua a subir a inflação na Europa, salvo erro, já vai na casa dos 3% e eu não vejo como é que isto vai ser revertido, porque os europeus parecem estar empenhados em ir para o confronto militar. E hoje tivemos este caso absolutamente estúpido o argumento do tal drone que os alemães não conseguiram descobrir quem e que lhes rebentou com o Nord Stream (gasoduto Alemanha-Rússia), mas descobriram agora, passado um mês, que teria sido a Rússia, mas não apresentaram provas. Eu não estou a dizer que não foram os russos que fizeram aquilo, embora eu não perceba para quê. Eu não entendo. Mas não vamos excluir a possibilidade de terem sido os russos. Apresentem provas. Isso é a primeira questão. Mas isto só está a ser trazido ao de cima, porque Merz (o chanceler alemão) leva nesta altura cerca de 20 pontos de atraso relativamente à AFD (partido de extrema-direita) e vai ter eleições dentro de menos de uma semana. Isto é que é o problema e portanto estão a utilizar uma situação destas para procurar tirar benefícios em termos de política interna. Não há outra palavra. Mas isto cria dinâmicas. Por exemplo, ouvimos o secretário-geral da NATO a fazer uma série de afirmações absolutamente ignóbeis que, no fundo estava a alinhar com esta farsa toda e no fundo a criar situações que depois são extremamente difíceis de serem revertidas. RFI: No seu livro diz que no começo do conflito tinha havido uma possibilidade de eventualmente se chegar a um acordo de paz que foi impossibilitada, nomeadamente por líderes europeus, que convenceram Zelensky de que poderiam ter um acordo melhor e, portanto, relativamente a esta situação, quais são as possibilidades que existem neste momento de eventualmente negociar, sentar à mesa, discutir, chegar a um acordo? Major-General Carlos Branco: Eu vejo isso de forma muito remota. Isso só será possível, isso que eu vou dizer é incómodo, mas penso que nesta altura não há outra volta que é a vitória militar de uma das partes. Só haverá negociações quando se atingir aquilo que se chama de 'impasse doloroso', quando as partes perceberem que têm mais a ganhar à mesa das negociações do que no campo de batalha. Quando psicologicamente interiorizarem essa situação -e é o que nós dizemos- atingiu-se a maturidade e, portanto, há portas abertas para se avançar nesse caminho. Agora estamos longe de isso acontecer, porque a Ucrânia está a ser partida todos os dias. Há um sofrimento brutal para o povo ucraniano, mas os seus dirigentes estão a alimentar uma situação que está perdida. E eu sublinho isto. Mas vai ser até ao último ucraniano. Exactamente. Estes líderes não têm maturidade para perceber isto que eu estou a dizer e portanto vão continuar até ao fim. Para isto contribui também o papel dos europeus, porque se os europeus não dessem fogo a esta fornalha, se não criassem nos ucranianos o sonho de que isto pode ser revertido, de que podem derrotar a Rússia, quer dizer, eu não consigo perceber como é que isso acontece. O próprio chefe de gabinete do presidente Zelensky, Kyrylo Budanov, mas não só, foi também o seu lugar-tenente, que vieram dizer que a Ucrânia precisa de 30.000 soldados por mês. Não sou eu que digo. Portanto, um país que se encontra numa situação destas, que tem largos milhões de cidadãos fora das suas fronteiras, que está a recrutar da forma que é conhecida, que as pessoas são apanhadas no meio da rua e levadas à força, um país que está numa situação destas, a meu ver, está numa situação de grande vulnerabilidade. Mas os seus dirigentes continuam a achar que não. 'Não, isto ainda a gente ainda pode ganhar'. Portanto, é exactamente por causa disso e pela irresponsabilidade do estímulo que é dado pelos presidentes europeus. Aliás, vimos agora quando foi das comemorações do 35.º aniversário da independência da Ucrânia e que foram lá uma série de dirigentes a Kiev. E eles estavam com uma cara muito sorridente a tirar uma fotografia com o presidente. E eu interrogo-me: estão sorridentes porquê? Quer dizer, isto é de uma falta de senso e de uma falta de capacidade de análise da situação. Esta gente não sabe o que é que está a acontecer. Vivem numa bolha exactamente por causa disso. O futuro não pode ser brilhante. Para já, veremos se não há nenhuma movimentação incauta por parte de determinados países da Europa e que venham depois chamar a NATO. Até porque a tentativa de envolver a NATO com este argumento do ataque directo e na tentativa de provocar o artigo quinto (defesa colectiva no caso de um membro ser atacado), já houve várias. Portanto, nós estamos recordados quando houve o míssil ucraniano que caiu na Polónia e que matou, salvo erro, dois agricultores (em Novembro de 2022). O ministro dos Negócios Estrangeiros polaco e a Ucrânia começaram logo a dizer 'isso foi à Rússia, foi à Rússia' e, portanto, já abriu portas para Zelenksy, porque sabe que não consegue sozinho ganhar a guerra. Precisa dos europeus. E o Biden veio mandá-los calar. Objectivamente, foi isso que aconteceu. Portanto, não alinhou nesse projecto porque o que queria, não era criar uma guerra na Europa. O que queria era remover o Putin do poder e colocar lá um seu apaniguado. Mas é que as pessoas às vezes não conseguem distinguir uma coisa da outra. Aliás, isso é outra coisa importantíssima. Biden nunca esteve muito empenhado na vitória militar da Ucrânia. Isso é outra questão que está profusamente documentada. O que ele queria era provocar uma alteração do poder em Moscovo. São coisas diferentes. poderão ter caminhos paralelos, poderão interceptar-se nalgumas fases, mas são coisas diferentes porque, em última análise, o objectivo estratégico é distinto. Portanto, não ter clarividência sobre esta matéria é dramático. RFI: Outro aspecto também importante do seu livro tem a ver com a forma como também são apresentados os acontecimentos pela comunicação social aqui na Europa. É bastante crítico relativamente ao papel da comunicação social. Major-General Carlos Branco: Sim, é verdade. A comunicação social está, com algumas excepções, mas muito reduzidas, plenamente alinhada com uma das partes, está entrincheirada e, portanto, não é um espaço de debate sobre o que está a acontecer, mas é fundamentalmente um espaço onde se divulga de uma forma exclusiva e frequentemente propagandística, os pontos de vista de uma das facções. E o espaço de debate está extremamente reduzido. E muitas das vezes quem tem uma opinião que não coincide com a do meio, acaba por ser marginalizado. Associado a isso, a União Europeia tem-se tornado cada vez mais um organismo autoritário, porque há indivíduos que tiveram maior protagonismo no espaço público e o que lhes aconteceu foi inclusivamente congelarem-lhes as contas bancárias. Portanto, isto que está a acontecer é uma deriva autoritária na qual a comunicação social está a alinhar. Relativamente a estas matérias, não vi estas notícias na televisão e muito menos manifestação de desconforto e de discussão destes assuntos, porque estes assuntos são cruciais. Os americanos saberão muito bem o que aconteceu no rescaldo do 11 de Setembro e as tentativas de calar opiniões, críticas e outras opiniões, vamos pôr isto nesses termos, e a Europa vai por esse caminho.

A retired Major General says New Zealanders need to be aware the threat of terrorism is real. A Security Intelligence Service report shows the national terrorism threat level remains at Possible, with the most likely scenario caused by a lone actor. It says violent extremism is being influenced by a broad range of ideologies, a mix of domestic and international events, and extremist online rhetoric. New Zealand Initiative Senior Fellow and Retired Major General John Howard told Ryan Bridge if you see something that concerns you, discuss it with someone. He says it's not a cause for panic, but a cause for community for us to be aware of our neighbours and help them. New technology is said to be accelerating the national security challenges we face – the report suggesting our connections, innovations, and position, make us valuable to foreign powers. It suggests Chinese military intelligence has been using professional networking and job sites to target current and former government officials holding secrets. Howard told Bridge to be forewarned is to be forearmed, and drones and AI can be used with criminal or lethal intent against civilians.

A retired Major General says one-way military strike drones would rapidly modernise the nation's military. The Government is looking into buying the drones - that are operated by humans and used to drop explosives on a target. They're massively cheaper than missiles. New Zealand Initiative Senior Fellow John Howard says the technology's been used for half a decade now in the Ukraine-Russia war. "We've seen drone technology mature rapidly because of that crisis - in Eastern Europe and in the Middle East. For the Defence Force of today, this is promising for not just what we should aspire to do, but how we protect our national interests."

Battlefield medicine is as much an enabler and force multiplier as good logistics. Whilst this is acknowledged by many, including those in the US Army, there is a peculiar absence of consideration for Battlefield Health in selection and development of its new command and control system. Major General (retired) Edward Dorman, a proven combat leader and master logistician, digs into what is needed for medical C2 as an operational consideration in the future, about which lessons are relevant from both US experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan and from partners experiences in Ukraine and wider contemporary conflict. Structured data alone is not the answer, neither is agentic AI, Large Language Models, or boutique systems. The conversation has a realism about Battlefield Medicine and Healthcare that has been absent for too long.

Episode 4165 │ July 1, 2026 Joseph Warren was the most valuable patriot in Massachusetts. He walked up Bunker Hill in a suit, with a musket, knowing he would not come back. WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS  Scott Kesterson opens the second episode of the 250th anniversary week series with the story of Joseph Warren — Harvard-educated physician, president pro tempore of the Massachusetts Provincial Congress, the man who sent Paul Revere on his midnight ride, offered a Major General commission before the battle — who showed up at Bunker Hill on June 17, 1775 as a volunteer private, refused command when offered it, took a musket, and stood in the line with the men, knowing, as his son later testified, that he would not return. The battle itself is examined through the lens of what it cost — two thousand British regulars in full formation took 1,000 casualties, nearly half their assault force, to dislodge farmers and tradesmen who ran out of ammunition on the third assault, killing the myth of British invincibility and proving to every wavering colonial delegate that these men could fight — but the price on the patriot side was Warren himself, shot in the head at thirty-four, his body mutilated, buried in a mass grave, later identified by Paul Revere through the dental work he had constructed for his friend. The episode closes with the question Warren's obscurity demands: not whether you know his name, but whether you know what he knew — that some things are worth more than survival — and whether you are building the kind of conviction that could, if the moment demanded it, walk you up the hill. KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED  Who was Joseph Warren — and why does the fact that he refused command, took a musket as a volunteer private, and walked up Bunker Hill in a suit knowing he would not return tell you more about the founding generation than almost any other single act of the Revolution? What did the Battle of Bunker Hill actually prove — and why did a British tactical victory that cost them half their assault force do more damage to the Crown's position than a defeat would have? What is the difference between battlefield courage and the kind of courage Warren showed — and what does his son's testimony that his father went up knowing he would not return mean for how we understand what conviction actually costs?

"When allied intelligence sharing fails, it's almost never a collection failure - it's an integration failure." That's the uncomfortable argument Major General Paul Lynch opened the main stage with at GEOINT 2026, and it's the thread Torsten Kriening pulls on in this candid, wide-ranging conversation recorded live in Aurora, Colorado.As Deputy Assistant Secretary General for Intelligence at NATO Headquarters for nearly three years - and a Royal Marine with a 30-year career behind him - Lynch has a rare vantage point on how the alliance turns raw collection into decisions at speed. He walks us through the hard-won lessons of Ukraine, where fusing geospatial, open-source and electronic intelligence onto a single platform and linking it directly to effect transformed battlefield effectiveness in months, not years. He explains how NATO is capturing those lessons through JATEC, the first joint NATO–Ukraine centre in Poland, and why the real challenge is never just identifying a lesson, but turning it into capability, doctrine and policy - knowing all the while that the next war won't look like this one.The discussion ranges across the deterrence operations now shaping the alliance - Eastern Sentry, Baltic Sentry, Arctic Sentry - the power and friction of 32-nation consensus, and the growing role of commercial GEOINT as a core part of the enterprise rather than an afterthought. Lynch makes a clear-eyed case for NGA's LUNO model of machine-driven, near-real-time intelligence, and argues that the barrier isn't technology but data and trust: sharing by default, and commercial integration at scale.It closes on something more personal. In his final GEOINT in this role, Lynch reflects on why he calls legacy "a comforting illusion," on the informal trust he calls HANDCON - the relationships that let you make things work when it matters most - and on a borrowed line from Lincoln: "character is the tree, reputation merely its shadow."Honest, human, and genuinely thought-provoking.

Bert Mizusawa is a retired major general in the United States Army, serving in the Army from 1979 to 2015. Mizusawa also served in the United States Senate as a professional staff member and as a Senior Executive in the Pentagon, making him one of only a handful of individuals to serve at flag rank in the military as well as in both the legislative and executive branches. Mizusawa is also an attorney and is admitted to the bars of New York, the District of Columbia, Virginia and the United States Supreme Court. Awards: Distinguished Service Medal Silver Star Defense Superior Service Medal Legion of Merit Bronze Star Medal Combat Infantryman Master Parachutist Ranger Air Assault Joint Chiefs of Staff Identification Badge Humanitarian Service Medal 1983 Soviet defector incident Mizusawa led the Joint Security Force in a historic firefight against North Korean forces. Mizusawa was awarded the Silver Star for “exceptional valor and gallantry in action” while serving as the Commander of the Joint Security Force (JSF) Company at Panmunjom, Korea on 22 and 23 November 1984. His citation reads “In reaction to thirty attacking North Korean soldiers in pursuit of a Soviet defector, Captain Mizusawa's outstanding leadership and aggressive actions in leading his company while under fire were instrumental in defeating the enemy. Additionally, he personally led the defector to safety while under fire and deliberately, at great risk to himself, exposed himself to the enemy in front of his own troops to ensure the success of his company's combat action. Throughout the intense firefight, Captain Mizusawa displayed a complete disregard for his own personal safety while accomplishing his mission.” Some have credited the successful firefight and rescue of the Soviet defector, which unexpectedly did not result in a Soviet demarche, for convincing President Reagan to hold firm in his negotiations with the Soviet Union, which ultimately led to the end of the Cold War.

What does it take for a nation to treat space not as a scientific hobby, but as a strategic necessity? Live from the 41st Space Symposium in Colorado Springs, Torsten Kriening sits down with Major General Michael Traut, Commander of the German Space Command, for a candid conversation about turning vision into execution.This episode moves from strategy to hard numbers: Germany's historic €35 billion (rising to roughly €45 billion) space investment, the new Space Safety and Security Strategy with its 65 named missions, and SATCOM Stage 4 - the largest space programme the Bundeswehr has ever attempted, a multi-orbit constellation of several hundred satellites modelled on the U.S. SDA's "rolling fleets" approach.Traut speaks frankly about the tensions shaping Europe's space moment: speed versus competition, the SPOCK reconnaissance awards and the risk of new monopolies, SIGINT from space, inspector satellites and counter-space capabilities, and how national capability (SATCOM Stage 4) and European cooperation (IRIS²) can reinforce rather than rival each other. With the clock ticking toward 2029, it's a clear-eyed look at how Germany intends to become a partner others can lean on - and why time, not money, is now the scarcest resource.Essential listening for anyone tracking the future of European security in orbit.To read: German Space Safety and Security StrategySpace Café Radio brings you talks, interviews, and reports from the team of SpaceWatchers while out on the road.

"Space is a team sport." With that single phrase, German Major General Wolfgang Ohl captures the shift that defined Germany's presence at the 41st Space Symposium - and perhaps the decade ahead for European space defense.Recorded live on the final day in Colorado Springs, Torsten Kriening sits down with the Deputy Director of the Armed Forces Department at the German Ministry of Defense for a candid, strategic conversation. Germany arrived this year with a footprint never seen before: its largest-ever cross-ministerial delegation, a whole-of-government booth under the banner of the national space security and defense strategy, and - for the first time in its history - a federal ministry with "space" in its name.But the real story is what sits behind the €35 billion headline figure (€45 billion across civil and defense combined). General Ohl walks us through the language everyone was using in the keynotes - burden sharing, and increasingly, burden shifting - and what it means now that American partners may one day pull critical capabilities from the European theater. ISR, space-based missile defense, resilient constellations: which of these can Europe substitute, and how fast?From Olympic Defender and Combined Space Operations to bringing space assets into NATO's defense planning process, from the framework-nation concept that lets smaller allies plug into German capabilities to the hard questions of interoperability and sharing classified data in an age of AI and spoofing - this is a clear-eyed look at how Europe builds a genuine pillar in space. Not as a slogan, but as a requirement.Honest, forward-looking, and grounded in the realities of the free world's defense.

In this episode of THE MENTORS RADIO, Host Tom Loarie talks with Major General David Smith, USAF, deputy to the Chief of Air Force Reserve at the Pentagon. You’ll learn about a realm most people never get to see: the intersection of high-stakes national defense, cutting-edge technology and extreme physical endurance. General Smith is a combat-proven command pilot with over 4,000 flying hours—including 700 in combat across operations like Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom. On his last appearance, as an F-16 Squadron Commander, he discussed what it takes to get your goals and dreams airborne. Since then, his leadership journey has scaled significantly. In this episode, we aren’t just talking about flying fighter jets. We are tracking a lifetime journey of constant re-invention—from the cockpit of an F-16, to operationalizing the advanced F-35 platform, to studying Artificial Intelligence at MIT and Harvard. We also dive deep into General Smith’s core thesis: why physical fitness is a non-negotiable leadership responsibility, and how that legacy of grit is carrying forward to the next generation of American leaders. General David Smith has flown in combat and conquered the Ironman World Championship, and shares insights about why physical grit, constant re-invention and data-driven innovation are the ultimate keys to sustaining your life’s goals. You will not only learn about leadership, but also about teamwork, humility, trust, and translating cockpit “wingman” reliance into selflessness and service in corporate culture. General Smith’s own 30+ year career spans commanding fighter squadrons, operationalizing the cutting-edge F-35, and studying Artificial Intelligence at MIT, Harvard and John Hopkins. He knows exactly what skills the next generation will need to navigate a rapidly evolving future. You’ll learn about the Ironman Mindset, breaking down the mental “wall” of an endurance race to conquer massive organizational barriers. And you’ll learn about the Future of Talent; Why tomorrow’s leaders must anchor themselves in STEM and AI while maintaining core human values. General Smith also talks about family legacy, and he and his wife Stacy raised two incredible, service-driven daughters: Sidney (Virgnia Military Institute graduate) and Ella (a standout collegiate athlete at the U.S. Naval Academy). Whether you are an aspiring young professional or a C-suite executive, this discussion is packed with actionable wisdom.

The conversation centers on executive decision-making under pressure, including Kelly's three-question framework for leaders: creating organizational value, stewarding talent, and sustaining long-term performance. Through real-world examples like the Potomac River sewage crisis and Winter Storm response operations, Kelly emphasizes agility, risk assessment, and the importance of acting decisively even amid uncertainty.The episode highlights how trust, relationships, and mission-first thinking enable effective coordination across federal, state, and local partners in high-stakes emergency management environments.Looking ahead, the discussion explores flood forecasting, infrastructure resilience, and evolving national risk conditions, with cautious optimism for a “normal to below normal” flood season tempered by the reality that even one major event can strain systems. Kelly underscores the Army Corps' rollout of Building Infrastructure, Not Paperwork,” for the Army's Civil Works program, reinforcing a culture of action over bureaucracy and the critical role of partnerships in delivering outcomes. From personal insights on burnout and sustainability to strategic perspectives on national resilience, this episode offers actionable leadership lessons for emergency managers, policymakers, and infrastructure professionals alike.#DisasterTough #EmergencyManagement #Leadership #Resilience #USACE #Infrastructure #DisasterResponse #RiskManagement #PublicSafety #HurricaneSeason #FloodRisk #NationalSecurity 

Weather, some say, is fickle. Of course nature is just nature but when you're on high ground, the mountains, and the weather moves in, the temperature drops in minutes and wind shifts. It is a dangerous place and that's during mid-summer. Perhaps summer is the most dangerous time to be caught in a mountain storm, particularly in South Africa because there's more moisture and freezing sleet and snow sweeps over the summit, overwhelming hikers in shorts and T-shirts. During January and February 1881, the weather along the Natal escarpment near Volksrust and Majuba was characterized by high rainfall, frequent thunderstorms, thick mist, and cold nights. This period was at the height of the summer rainy season, creating wet, muddy conditions that significantly impacted military operations during the First Boer War. The weather at times was bitter, just like the Boer sentiment. Laing's Nek gravesite was desecrated in 1969 when Afrikaner Nationalists under cover of dark, blew up a large Cross that had been erected over the graves of Royal Navy sailors who'd perished during the Battle of Laing's Nek in February 1881. Such was the depth of historical bitterness. Memories run deep. The last known Boer of the First Anglo-Boer war, Jacob "Jaap" Coetzer died in the same year as the exploding cross — 1969 - showing just how long veterans of war can live amongst a population that has no clue about their past. A vet of the first Anglo-Boer War had lived to hear Beatles music. Coetzer was 15 year's old when he joined Commandant Piet Joubert's commandos in the area of Laings Nek, and was a survivor of the next major clash, Majuba. Not that Jaap Coetzer was in any way linked to the desecration. Laing's Nek lies on the N11, a quick 20 minute drive through this pass and you ascend from the rolling hills of KZN into the highground of Mpumalanga — or the Transvaal as it was in 1881. In January 1881, the British force under Major General Sir George Pomeroy Colley moved off from Newcastle after his ultimatum to the Boers had been ignored. Despite his intelligence and administrative competence, his battlefield record would reveal a critical weakness: a tendency to apply textbook European tactics in environments where they were increasingly obsolete. The Boers, by contrast, were armed with modern Westley Richards breech-loading rifles and other similar breech-loading firearms, which allowed for faster and more accurate fire than the older muzzle-loading weapons that had shaped earlier British tactics. Many Boers were also skilled marksmen, accustomed to hunting and irregular warfare, and they fought from concealed positions—rocks, ridges, and scrub—rather than in formal lines. This combination of mobility, cover, and firepower was going to be devastating. Colley led 1216 officers and men including five companies of the 58th Regiment, 5 companies of the 3rd Battalion of the 60th Rifles, 150 cavalrymen, a party of Royal Navy sailors with two 7 pound guns, and a mounted unit of Royal Artillery with four 9 pound guns. Major General Colley was determined to revenge the previous month's debacle at Bronkhorstpruit. The Boers setup four main laagers on the escarpment north east of Majuba. Their main camp was based at a point south of the Standerton Road, about 10 kilometers from Wakkerstroom. From here, flanking the two roads which approached from Newcastle, their patrols could ride out to watch the Buffalo River fords, as well as Laing's Nek. Colley had moved off from Newcastle on the 24th January, after two days of heavy rain held up his wagons. On the 25th they struggled across the Imbazane River, and on the 26th, crossed the Ingogo River. British patrols saw Boers moving on the pass, and on the evening of the 27th, noted that Laings Nek was occupied in force. More heavy rain fell that day, and a thick mist drifted across the landscape. On the morning of the 28th, Colley led his force out of the laager.

There are concerns we're moving too slow to shore up New Zealand's security. A New Zealand Initiative report warns the Government's $12 billion defence plan risks being absorbed into a system too slow and fragmented to deliver for our security. It recommends six areas of action, including an independent 90-day review of defence policy settings reporting to Cabinet. New Zealand Initiative Senior Fellow and Retired Major General John Howard told Mike Hosking we need to think quite differently about national security and defence. He says we have combat capability, but were now in a very different contested environment and we should be making better use of intelligence capabilities and systems, including open-source intelligence and AI.

The show opens with a heated discussion on the new reality of professional sports broadcasting—Cardinals, Blues, NFL games now locked behind multiple paywalls on Peacock, Prime, Apple TV, and more. Annie and the team ask: Should the FCC intervene? Listeners vote live. Then Rep. Eric Burlison (House Oversight Committee) joins for a riveting interview on the mysterious deaths and disappearances of top U.S. scientists working on nuclear, space, hypersonic, and UAP-related projects. From a Major General walking out without his phone to connections with anti-gravity research and Havana Syndrome, this segment raises urgent national security red flags. High-stakes radio you can't miss.

Missouri Rep. Eric Burlison (House Oversight Committee) sits down with Annie Frey to expose the alarming pattern of five scientists and a Major General who vanished—walking out of their homes without phones or belongings—plus several others found dead under suspicious circumstances. All were working on cutting-edge nuclear, hypersonic missile, plasma, and UAP-related projects. Burlison discusses possible foreign actors (China's Operation Fox Hunt), Havana Syndrome attacks, and why this demands immediate FBI and congressional investigation. A gripping, must-hear national security wake-up call.

On this episode we're diving into the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Inevitably that conversation involves a little bit of drone technology talk, but we focus mostly on the human demands of this kind of warfare. When every single piece of equipment, food, etc. has to travel the last several miles on foot, what does that require of the individual soldier? When there is near constant visual and thermal surveillance, how do operations have to adapt? We break down all that and more, with some time saved at the end to talk about the ACFT implementation, since our guest played a key role in that as well. Major General Kline graduated from Shippensburg University, Pennsylvania in 1992 and was commissioned as a Field Artillery officer where he served three years as a Fire Support Officer and later a MLRS platoon leader before transferring to the Aviation branch until his promotion to Major General.Major General Kline commanded tactical aviation units at the company, battalion, and brigade levels. His aviation command assignments include A Company, 5th Battalion, 158th Aviation Regiment in Germany; 5th Battalion, 101st Aviation Regiment (Task Force Eagle Assault) in Fort Campbell, Kentucky and the 3rd Combat Aviation Brigade located at Hunter Army Airfield in Savannah, Georgia. In combat, Major General Kline served as the Executive Officer for 5th Battalion, 101st Aviation Regiment in Tikrit, Iraq from 2005-2006; Deputy Brigade Commander for 101st Combat Aviation Brigade in Bagram, Afghanistan in 2008; Battalion Commander of 5th Battalion, 101st Aviation Regiment at FOB Wolverine near Qalat, Afghanistan from 2010-2011; and Commander of Task Force Forge in Helmand, Afghanistan from 2015-2016. Uniquely, he also represented the United States in direct communication with the Taliban Political Commission (TPC) in Doha, Qatar in 2021. Specific to this podcast, he was Alex's commander at CIMT as his final command, overseeing the implementation of the ACFT and H2F. After leaving command but before retiring, he was the Army lead for the Ukraine/Russia Lessons study focused on capturing the lessons from that conflict, which is what we'll be focusing most of today's conversation on.

The discussion centers on the Strait of Hormuz and its economic impact, including rising costs and the broader consequences of disrupting global oil supply. Hawk and Manner examine how the Iran War differs from past conflicts, why a ground invasion of Iran would be a disaster, and how modern warfare involving drones and asymmetric tactics is changing everything. The conversation also addresses leadership decisions, military readiness, and the long term risks tied to escalating the Iran War. China, Russia, and shifting alliances are part of the bigger picture, with a focus on how economic power and diplomacy are being sidelined. The Strait of Hormuz crisis becomes a key turning point, with implications for global markets and American policy.

A ceasefire was announced. Iran fired missiles at Tel Aviv two hours later. A retired Major General called every bit of this.In this episode, host Gaurav Arora sits down with Major General Neeraj Bali (Retired), one of India's most respected strategic and military minds, for a deeply informed breakdown of the Israel-US war on Iran: what caused it, what's really driving it, and where it's heading.From the 1979 Islamic Revolution to the JCPOA, from the 12-Day War of June 2025 to the bombing of Iran on 28th February 2026, General Bali connects every dot. He explains why the US-Israel strategy was built on a fatal assumption, why Iran will not fold the way anyone planned, and why the Strait of Hormuz — not nuclear weapons — is the real centre of gravity in this war.He also breaks down what this war means for India, for your fuel prices, for your food, and for the shifting balance of global power between the US, China, Russia, NATO, and the Gulf states.This is not a news panel. This is military intelligence meets strategic clarity — in plain English.

Major General Jim “beak” Hunt grew up in So Cal and went to USAFA to avoid a certain academic topic he covers. Turned out to be one of the many assignments he tried to avoid throughout his career but eventually came to enjoy and overcome. Most notably BEAK is likely the first USAF general officer to command a US ARMY Corps in combat. This was at the end of his long flying career in the USAF where he flew F-4, F-15, F-117, and the memorable U-2. Post USAF activities include training flight surgeons by flying them, consulting for joint operations outfits, and running his local airport.
