Podcasts about Max Bergmann

Max Bergmann dreamt of having his own farm — until the diagnosis of retinitis pigmentosa turned his everyday life upside down. But instead of giving up, he fought his way back: two Paralympic participations, a PhD in agricultural sciences and finally the founding of the DromeDairy camel farm in Western Australia. My colleague Barbara Barkhausen spoke to him about how he realized his dream — and why camel milk can do much more than you think. - Max Bergmann träumte von einer eigenen Farm – bis die Diagnose Retinitis Pigmentosa seinen Alltag auf den Kopf stellte. Doch statt aufzugeben, kämpfte er sich zurück: Zwei Paralympics-Teilnahmen, eine Promotion in Agrarwissenschaften und schließlich die Gründung der Kamelfarm DromeDairy in Westaustralien. Meine Kollegin Barbara Barkhausen hat mit ihm darüber gesprochen, wie er seinen Traum verwirklichte – und warum Kamelmilch viel mehr kann, als man denkt.

Since Nato's inception in 1949, the US has always formed a central part of the alliance and been the biggest contributor to its defensive strength.However, since his second term began, President Donald Trump has shifted the US's allegiances towards Vladimir Putin's Russia and away from Nato. Simultaneously, the US President has repeatedly criticised Europe's defence spending and the continent's reliance on the US.This radical shift from the Nato status quo has brought the alliance's future into question.Katie Stallard is joined by David Reynolds and Max Bergmann.

In 2016 European leaders treated Trump's win as an aberration, something to ride out. Eight years later, European leaders are now trying to gauge what a second Trump presidency will mean for the continent. While Jean Monnet famously said “Europe will be forged in crisis,” the political turmoil in Germany and France, Europe's two largest economies, has many asking if Europe is up for the challenge. Expert Max Bergmann joins Thanos Davelis to break down what European leaders should expect from the incoming Trump administration, and whether the continent is ready to meet the challenges ahead.Max Bergmann is the director of the Europe, Russia, and Eurasia Program and the Stuart Center in Euro-Atlantic and Northern European Studies at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:The Trump challenge for EuropeNew Democracy rift and SYRIZA polls in the spotlightGov't dismisses stability concerns after Samaras expulsion; focus shifts to KaramanlisTurkey expands grip in Libya

This year marked 75 years since the creation of NATO, and the latest summit in Washington, DC sent a clear message that NATO is back, returning to its Cold War roots deterring the Russians and adding new members. At the same time, however, there are increasing concerns in Europe about America's long-term commitment to their security. This has revived the notion of building up Europe's defense capabilities. Max Bergmann, the director of the Europe, Russia, and Eurasia Program and the Stuart Center in Euro-Atlantic and Northern European Studies at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), joins Thanos Davelis to look at why this 75th anniversary is an opportunity for the US to lead the way in plotting a new course for NATO and European defense. You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:NATO Missed a Chance to Transform ItselfPlan for recovery of forests in AtticaGreece to compensate fire-stricken households near AthensGreek-flagged vessel ‘Sounion' attacked in Red Sea

Center-right and far-right parties are now set to take the largest number of seats in the most populous nations. Max Bergmann, the director of the Europe, Russia, and Eurasia Program and the Stuart Center in Euro-Atlantic and Northern European Studies at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), joins Thanos Davelis with the main takeaways from the European elections while looking at what this means for transatlantic relations.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:In E.U.

The war in Ukraine has reached a pivotal moment. After months of an apparent stalling on the frontlines, Russia has recently made a series of critical breakthroughs.Now the race is on for Kyiv to get newly approved military aid to the front line before Russian forces attack Ukraine's second largest city, Kharkiv.The 60 billion dollar bill passed in America's congress at the end of April allows for Ukraine to push back against Russian forces and prepare to mount an offensive next year.But a gap in the supply of missiles has left Kyiv dangerously exposed and huge questions remain about how Ukraine's President will act next. So, on this week's Inquiry, we're asking ‘Has US military aid come in time for President Zelensky?'Contributors:Gustav Gressel, senior policy fellow with the Wider Europe Programme at the European Council on Foreign Relations' Berlin office.

O Conselho Europeu, que decorre esta semana, é marcado sobretudo por questões relacionadas com políticas externas e de forma muito particular com o apoio da Europa à Ucrânia. Na quinta-feira, o chanceler alemão, Olaf Scholz, disse que os lucros dos activos russos deveriam ser utilizados para comprar armas para Kiev. Mas até que ponto está a opinião pública convencida do regresso da guerra ao continente europeu? Nesta quinta-feira, Max Bergmann, na revista Foreign Affairs, diz que a NATO precisa de ser mais Europeia. “Está a surgir um consenso em ambos os lados do Atlântico de que os europeus devem assumir a responsabilidade pela sua própria segurança”, escreve. Que papel pode desempenhar a Alemanha neste processo?

In the two years since the invasion of Ukraine, the U.S. has tried to cut off Russia's access to microchips and other technology that helps its war effort. But Moscow has proven resilient — and continues to circumvent trade restrictions with the help of its neighbors. On POLITICO Tech, Max Bergmann from the Center for Strategic and International Studies explains how Russia is pulling it off and what more the Biden administration can do.

As Western leaders gathered in Munich this weekend for the Munich Security Conference, warnings about Russian President Putin's possible next moves were mixed with Europe's growing concerns that it could soon be abandoned by the United States as aid to Ukraine is stalled in Congress and former President Trump casts doubts on America's commitment to NATO. Max Bergmann, the director of the Europe, Russia, and Eurasia Program and the Stuart Center in Euro-Atlantic and Northern European Studies at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), joins Thanos Davelis to look at these concerns and explore whether European defense has now become a necessity.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Europe's security elite braces for Trump, searches for backup plansAs Putin Threatens, Despair and Hedging in EuropeCan Europe defend itself without America?Greece to prioritize strengthening relations with India, says PMGreece is India's gateway to Europe, PM saysGreek farmers join tractor protest in front of parliament for second day

The end of February marks the second anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The conflict has long since developed into a brutal trench war in the east and south of Ukraine. Russia has built a land bridge from its territory to the Crimean peninsula, which it has annexed since 2014. Hundreds of Ukrainian and Russian soldiers are dying every day. The USA, Germany and the EU are supporting Ukraine in its defense with weapons, ammunition, training, financial resources and humanitarian aid. Peace negotiations, let alone the reconstruction of the country, are a long way off. While Republicans and Democrats in the US Congress are unable to agree on a new aid package, the European Council was able to initiate new aid deliveries worth 50 billion euros after a lengthy blockade by Hungary. At the same time, other geopolitical developments such as the war in the Middle East are diverting the West's attention away from Ukraine. Is a war of attrition becoming more and more entrenched? Where was the West wrong in its assessment of the war, and what are the consequences? To what extent does the dispute in Congress affect US support for Ukraine? What would happen to US support for Ukraine if Donald Trump were to win the presidential election? Podcast host Stormy-Annika Mildner, Aspen Institute Germany, discusses these questions with Max Bergmann, Director of the Europe, Russia and Eurasia Program and the Stuart Center at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) in Washington, D.C. and Julia Friedlander, CEO of Atlantik-Brücke.

Max Bergmann joins the show to discuss the second anniversary of the war in Ukraine, the need to pass defense aid for Ukraine and other allies, and NATO's critical role in countering Russian aggression. Daniella and Colin also talk about former President Donald Trump's efforts to pause his 2020 election case and special counsel Robert Hur's report on President Joe Biden.

Finland became NATO's 31st member on Tuesday, marking a major shift in Europe's security landscape and a setback for Russia's Vladimir Putin. Until late last week, Turkey had maintained a block on Finland's membership bid, and is still keeping Sweden - which is also seeking NATO membership - in limbo. Expert Max Bergmann joins Thanos Davelis to explain why this moment is significant for NATO, how Russia's invasion of Ukraine has revitalized the transatlantic alliance and the the US presence in Europe, and look at what Turkey's obstructionist position in NATO - whether it's blocking Sweden's membership bid, its ties to Russia, or its threats and provocations in the Aegean - means for the alliance in the long term.Max Bergmann is the director of the Europe, Russia, and Eurasia Program and the Stuart Center in Euro-Atlantic and Northern European Studies at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).
