Episode Summary:In this episode of Explaining History, Nick continues his exploration of post-war American affluence. We often think of the 1950s as a golden age of middle-class expansion, where the old divisions of wealth and status melted away under a wave of chrome-plated cars and suburban lawns. But was this "classless society" a reality or a comforting myth?Drawing again from James Patterson's Grand Expectations, we delve into the changing nature of work and the rise of the white-collar economy. We examine how unions secured unprecedented benefits like health insurance and paid vacations, creating a unique moment where a steelworker could live a life of bourgeois comfort. Yet, beneath the surface, manual labour remained the backbone of the economy, and inequality persisted. Why did the US labour movement abandon the fight for universal healthcare in favour of employer-based benefits? And how did this decision shape the fragmented social safety net we see today?Key Topics:The Myth of the Classless Society: How affluence disguised, but didn't erase, social stratification.The Rise of Fringe Benefits: Why unions prioritized employer-based healthcare over state provision.Blue Collar vs. White Collar: The shifting demographics of the American workforce.The End of an Era: How financialization and offshoring eventually hollowed out the working-class dream.Books Mentioned:Grand Expectations: The United States, 1945-1974 by James T.

This week, the focus is on diversification—and why it's getting harder to achieve. Portfolio Strategist Natalie Gill explains how the “diversification mirage,” a key theme in BII's 2026 outlook, is now showing up in real time. A small set of megaforces is increasingly dictating equity performance, meaning traditional attempts to diversify—whether toward equal-weighted indices or new regions—can amount to larger active positions than many investors realize.Natalie also breaks down how rising developed-market bond yields challenge the long-held assumption that long-term bonds reliably balance portfolios. Fiscal strains, shifting central bank stances, and policy divergence between the U.S. and other economies further complicate the diversification picture. As bond volatility rises and a small number of equity drivers dominate returns, investors may need to reconsider how and where true diversification can be found.The episode also highlights the growing disconnect between the Federal Reserve's policy posture and the more hawkish tone across Australia, Canada, and Japan—where fiscal dynamics and reopening risks are influencing long-term rates. These divergences, paired with delayed U.S. labor data and inflation considerations, shape the macro backdrop as markets enter the new year.Key Insights· Diversification is increasingly difficult as a handful of megaforces drive global equity performance.· Traditional diversifiers—such as long-term government bonds—provide less balance amid rising yields.· Policy divergence between the U.S. and other major central banks is creating new cross-market risks.· Fiscal concerns are influencing yield curves, particularly in Japan and the UK.· Portfolios may require more deliberate, active decisions and alternative sources of return to achieve true diversification. diversification, megaforces, capital markets, macro trends, bond yields, portfolio balance, market outlookThis content is for informational purposes only and is not an offer or a solicitation.

Réunis à Bruxelles, les dirigeants européens ont trouvé ce vendredi 19 décembre un accord pour financer l'effort de guerre de l'Ukraine, à hauteur de 90 milliards d'euros. Dans ce contexte, plusieurs fausses informations ciblent directement l'aide militaire à Kiev. La dernière infox en date, diffusée sur TikTok, s'attaque à la France et à ses avions de chasse. À en croire une série de vidéos mensongères diffusées sur les réseaux sociaux, la Russie aurait récemment « abattu plusieurs aéronefs français remis à Kiev ». La rumeur parle « d'appareils stratégiques livrés en cachette par Emmanuel Macron à Volodymyr Zelensky ». Certains évoquent, sans preuves, la destruction de Rafale, le chasseur polyvalent du constructeur français Dassault. Un narratif repris dans une dizaine de vidéos diffusées sur TikTok et vu plus de deux millions de fois. En réalité, tout est faux, de la livraison secrète de ces appareils à leur destruction au combat. Dans les faits, aucun avion de chasse français n'a été abattu par la Russie en Ukraine. L'armée russe n'a d'ailleurs jamais communiqué sur un tel événement. Aujourd'hui, les seuls avions de chasse fournis à l'Ukraine par la France sont des Mirage 2000. Selon Kiev, ces appareils sont majoritairement engagés dans des missions de défense aérienne pour contrer les vagues de drones et de missiles russes. Quant aux Rafale, la livraison d'appareils à l'Ukraine n'en est qu'au stade des tractations. Un réseau de désinformation Les images que l'on voit dans la vidéo sont toutes sorties de leur contexte. Les différentes séquences sont sans rapport avec la France et ses avions de chasse. L'une montre un char de combat américain Abrams en plein exercice. Une autre documente une patrouille de F-16 polonais en plein vol. À l'origine de cette infox, nous avons identifié un écosystème de comptes TikTok francophones, habitués à diffuser de la désinformation. Au gré de l'actualité internationale, ils diffusent chaque jour des vidéos sensationnalistes avec un titre et des images chocs, le tout accompagné d'une musique angoissante et d'une voix générée par intelligence artificielle. Ces comptes font tout pour se faire passer pour des médias. Leur nom, Info monde, Info Actuality, Info Paris, et leur photo de profil sont volontairement trompeurs. Ce verni cache en réalité un vaste réseau de désinformation. Désinformation et propagande Ces vidéos servent à saturer les réseaux sociaux de contenus trompeurs, souvent à la gloire de la Russie et de son armée. Les comptes à la manœuvre comptabilisent des millions de vues et des centaines de milliers de likes. Cette audience, conséquente, permet de viraliser la propagande du Kremlin et de monétiser des fausses informations produites en quantité industrielle.

Jim weighs in on the floor crossing Plus - 33 weeks? Give me a break GUEST: John Wright - veteran pollster and head of the polling firm Canada Pulse Insights

Au Mali, le JNIM a repris cette semaine les attaques contre les convois de carburant, mettant fin à une accalmie de courte durée. La junte au pouvoir à Bamako peine à desserrer l'étau. Dans toute la région, l'on assiste depuis plusieurs années à une explosion des attaques jihadistes, venant contredire le récit officiel des pays de l'AES et de la Russie, toujours plus offensifs sur le plan informationnel. Un an s'est écoulé depuis la chute de Bachar el-Assad en Syrie, qui a permis de dissiper le mythe de l'assistance russe au régime et de dévoiler l'ampleur des exactions contre les populations. Mais qu'en est-il au Sahel ? On en parle avec Jonathan Guiffard, membre de Géode, le projet de géopolitique de la data sphère.  Jonathan Guiffard est expert associé à l'Institut Montaigne, chargé des Affaires internationales, stratégiques et de défense, et membre de GEODE, projet de recherche en géopolitique de la data sphère, partenaire des Dessous de l'infox. Il signe une série d'articles intitulée Afrique: les rivalités stratégiques qui met en lumière les stratégies des différents acteurs internationaux en Afrique centrale et Afrique de l'ouest, évoque «l'expansion d'un système russe en échec», montrant le paradoxe d'un dispositif qui ne délivre pas les résultats annoncés, mais «gagne du terrain à la faveur de la corruption, de la course aux ressources et d'un ordre mondial déséquilibré».    La chronique des dessous de l'infox, par Grégory Genevrier: RDC: cette vidéo d'Ibrahim Traoré critiquant Paul Kagame est un hypertrucage. Les vidéos générées par l'intelligence artificielle sont de plus en plus présentes sur les réseaux sociaux. Elles s'immiscent dans les conflits, comme celui qui se déroule dans l'est de la République démocratique du Congo, où le groupe armé du M23 soutenu par le Rwanda se livre à une nouvelle offensive, quelques jours après la signature à Washington d'un «Accord de paix» entre la RDC et le Rwanda. Les vidéos mensongères générées par l'IA sont de plus en plus difficiles à repérer, sauf lorsque certains comptes s'en font une spécialité et recyclent les mêmes images dans des situations différentes.

In this episode, I sit down with pianist and educator Mirna Lekić for a conversation that spans continents, sound worlds, and the deeper layers of what music can mean in a human life.Born and raised in Sarajevo during the Bosnian War and now based in New York City, Mirna brings a rare perspective to the piano — one shaped by resilience, migration, devotion, and an unshakable belief in music as a stabilizing, healing force.We explore her acclaimed 2023 album MIRAGE, a breathtaking collection of sonic illusions and cultural crossings that reimagines the piano as a global storyteller — moving from Azerbaijan to Spain, Armenia to Java, and beyond.This episode dives into:how early musical experiences during war shaped Mirna's artistic identitythe healing and stabilizing role music played during her family's resettlementthe depth of Bosnian and Balkan musical influenceshow cultural diversity becomes musical philosophy, not performanceMIRAGE and its groundbreaking approach to sound, resonance, and identitycollaborative work with living composers, shadow puppeteers, and multidisciplinary artistshow educators can guide young musicians toward authenticity in a rapidly changing worldIt's a conversation about healing, devotion, heritage, and the power of sound to help us make sense of where we come from — and where we're going.

Ford's “$120K mechanic shortage” isn't a labor crisis—it's a mirage. This episode blows past the headline to expose how America devalued the trades, oversold college, and turned work into a gamble. The real shortage isn't workers—it's honesty about the system we built. | To keep up with what's happening now and next in the world of work - Subscribe to "The Recruiting Life" newsletter at https://jimstroud.com Learn more about your ad choices.

I had the honor of speaking this week to one of my favorite producers Elaquent on episode 285! This was definitely one for me to check off the bucket list and It was great to get to breakdown his amazing 2025 run on this one! He spoke about his collaborations with Chester Watson including their February EP titled “Mirage” that coincided with a European tour this past winter. This was followed up by a full length Instrumental album “If Not Now, When?” in June and a House EP titled “Excursion” that most recently dropped a few weeks back. I loved hearing from Elaquent on how all of these projects came together and allowed him to experiment while showcasing different sides to his sound. He also revealed what might be on the horizon as we head into 2026 and as someone who is always checking for his new releases, I'm very excited for what's to come. I want to extend another big thanks to Elaquent for joining me and look forward to hopefully getting to connect with him again for future conversations!Consider becoming a monthly supporter of the show by visiting the link here

La décision de la Cour du Conseil constitutionnel de vendredi soir sur une doctrine judiciaire à propos du procès Sarkozy, à propos du procès Le Pen, l'exécution provisoire, a fait couler énormément d'encre. Ruth Elkrief pense que cette décision donne le droit de douter. Il s'agit d'un sujet qui nous concerne tous et qui a pris beaucoup de place. Le géant de la plateforme payante Netflix rachète le géant du cinéma mondial Warner. Selon François Lenglet, la bataille qu'il y a autour de ce rachat, c'est le grand cinéma. Il y a quelques années, tout le monde disait que le métavers, c'est l'avenir de l'humanité. C'était la grande prophétie. Pourtant, quatre ans après, Meta s'apprête à réduire de 30?% le budget de sa division Reality Labs. Pour Abnousse Shalmani, c'était depuis le début qu'elle n'était pas intéressée.

Today we're talking about the rise of independent hype watches. Until very recently, as we've discussed on this podcast, independent watchmaking was something of a backwater of the watch industry or at best the realm of the cognoscenti. But in recent years, creations from the likes of MB&F, Simon Brette, Rexhep Rexhepi and today's guest Sylvain Berneron have become objects of desire, cutthroat demand and even speculation. How did it get this way? What are the drivers? And what role do the brands and watchmakers themselves play in the economy of hype? Our guest is Sylvain Berneron, a French-born industrial and fine-arts trained designer who, after early roles in automotive design at BMW, moved into the watch world — spending five years at Breitling (ultimately as Chief Product Officer) and earlier working for the Richemont Group on brands such as IWC and Jaeger‑LeCoultre. In 2022 Sylvain founded his independent brand Berneron (based in Neuchâtel, Switzerland) and launched the Mirage collection, noted for its all-gold movement, shaped asymmetric case. And this summer, he unveiled his second collection, the Quantième Annuel. Both collections are highly limited – variants are produced in just 24 units each annually. Hosted by Asher Rapkin and Gabe Reilly, co-founders of Collective Horology, Openwork goes inside the watch industry. You can find us online at collectivehorology.com.

In this week's Huddle Breakdown Extra Time, Alan and James react to Celtic's shock 3–1 win away to Feyenoord, a performance nobody expected after the St Mirren debacle. They break down how Celtic produced one of their best European displays in years — pressing with intelligence, controlling transitions, and showing real identity and bravery — while also asking whether it was an outlier or the start of something real. The lads analyse the tactical changes under O'Neill and Maloney, standout displays from Yang, Donovan, Idah & Scales, and where caution remains ahead of a tricky trip to Easter Road.

"The original field recording had a mesmerising quality that pulled me toward Bamiyan's complex and fascinating history. I wanted my remix to encapsulate the emotions I experienced along the way. The piece is a very minimal, improvised song, centred on one instrument supported by a time-stretched slice of the field recording."   Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Gholghata reimagined by Anni Elea.

In this episode, Chris Keefer speaks with Hadron Energy founder Samuel Gibson, the twenty four year old entrepreneur pursuing a ten megawatt integral pressurized water microreactor through a one point two billion dollar business combination with GigCapital7. Gibson outlines why he believes light water is the fastest licensing path, how he assembled a veteran nuclear team, and why Hadron shifted from a one megawatt concept to a ten megawatt design built around LEU plus fuel, modular plant layouts, and air cooled decay heat removal. Keefer presses on the harder questions: whether factory fabrication can overcome the fixed civil works and regulatory burdens that have crippled previous SMR efforts like NuScale and mPower, what off the shelf really means in a hollowed out US supply chain, and how long refueling cycles, fuel qualification, and decommissioning challenges scale at microreactor size. The conversation becomes a broader test case for whether startup optimism can meaningfully confront the industrial, economic, and physics grounded constraints that define real world nuclear deployment.Listen to Decouple on:• Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6PNr3ml8nEQotWWavE9kQz• Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/decouple/id1516526694?uo=4• Overcast: https://overcast.fm/itunes1516526694/decouple• Pocket Casts: https://pca.st/ehbfrn44• RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/23775178/podcast/rss

In this video, Ross Rosenberg explains how an article on the “Happiness Paradox” completely changed his understanding of happiness by revealing that chasing it actually destroys it. He describes how true happiness arises naturally when we're present, emotionally aligned, and engaged in life—not when we try to force it as a goal. Rosenberg connects this to self‑love deficit disorder (SLDD), noting that many codependents mistake the absence of pain or the approval of narcissistic partners for happiness, leaving them stuck in a cycle of chasing emotional “mirages.” He emphasizes that real happiness comes from healing, building self‑love, and creating a life rooted in peace and authenticity. Instead of chasing “butterflies,” he urges viewers to “mend their garden”—to care for themselves and their emotional world—so joy can appear on its own.Support the showABOUT ROSS ROSENBERG Ross Rosenberg, M.Ed., LCPC, CADC, is a psychotherapist, educator, expert witness, and celebrated author.

Bonni Stachowiak shares about her card game, Go Somewhere: A game of metaphors, AI, and what comes next on episode 597 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Quotes from the episode A lot of you have been asking me about this game that I've played now and facilitated at over 10 universities and conferences called Go Somewhere. -Bonni Stachowiak What the game allows people to do is to be a little bit playful, laugh, and smile as we explore very serious things. -Bonni Stachowiak It can be helpful to have a map when we think about all of the different ways that artificial intelligence might impact our teaching. -Bonni Stachowiak The other issue that comes up a lot as we start talking about artificial intelligence is how often it bumps up against our sense of identity. -Bonni Stachowiak Continue to learn, reflect, and keep moving.

JB White delivers a fiery, free-ranging episode from Tallahassee, unpacking everything from his recent account hack to a spirited back-and-forth with CannCon that sparks a deeper meditation on unity, dissent, and American political culture. Using their exchange as a springboard, JB dives into the geopolitical realignment around Trump, MBS, and Netanyahu, arguing that Israel and Saudi Arabia are cooperating far more closely than media narratives suggest. He warns listeners about the influence of the British deep state and the City of London, tying them to global left-wing operations, anti-Israel narratives, and the infiltration of conservative movements through strategically placed insiders. JB revisits early hacked posts from 2018, recounts the rise of Candace Owens and how she may have been targeted, and exposes the pattern of political operators embedded through marriage and influence networks. With riffs on Gaza, Ukraine, Tucker, Candace, Megan Kelly, Trump's BBC lawsuit, stablecoins, global realignment, and the hidden battles inside U.S. agencies, JB urges discernment, healthy friction, and unwavering commitment to Trump's long-game strategy.

SHOW 11-17-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR 1899 UKRAINE THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT POTUS... FIRST HOUR 9-915 Pakistan's Military Dominance: Field Marshal Munir's Power and US Relations Guest: Ambassador Husain Haqqani Ambassador Husain Haqqani detailed the institutional dominance of Pakistan's military, noting that Parliament recently granted Field Marshal Asim Munir legal immunity for life and expanded his power by designating him Chief of Defense Forces, giving him control over the entire military, as Munir aims for presidential privileges without directly taking power, backed by a national narrative that Pakistan is perpetually under threat from India, and gained significant political and psychological advantage through two meetings and praise from President Trump, despite no new US aid or weapons, while Trump, who favors strongmen, may also be using this praise to leverage concessions from Indian Prime Minister Modi, as Munir is taking risks by adopting a firmer stance regarding violence on the Northwest frontier with the Taliban, an approach not well received by the Afghans, with Pakistani politicians historically conceding ground to the military to secure a shared portion of power. 915-930 CONTINUED Pakistan's Military Dominance: Field Marshal Munir's Power and US Relations Guest: Ambassador Husain Haqqani Ambassador Husain Haqqani detailed the institutional dominance of Pakistan's military, noting that Parliament recently granted Field Marshal Asim Munir legal immunity for life and expanded his power 930-945 China's Economic Slump: Export Decline, Policy Failures, and Property Market Stagnation Guests: Anne Stevenson-Yang and Gordon Chang Anne Stevenson-Yang and Gordon Chang discussed the unprecedented slump in China's economic activity, noting cooled investment and slowing industrial output, with exports falling 25% to the US, attributing this long-term decline to the government's 2008 decision to pull back economic reforms and the current 15th Five-Year Plan lacking viable solutions or bailouts for hurting localities, while consumption remains dangerously low (around 38% of GDP) and is expected to shrink further as the government prioritizes technological development and factory production, with the property market collapsing as capital investment, land sales, and unit prices decline, forcing people to hold onto decaying apartments and risking stagnation for decades similar to Japan post-1989, a problem largely self-created due to overcapacity, although other countries like Brazil are also restricting Chinese imports. 945-1000 China's Role in Global Drug Epidemics: Meth Precursors and Weaponizing Chemicals. Guests: Kelly Curry and Gordon Chang. Kelly Curry and Gordon Chang detailed China's crucial role in the global drug trade, asserting that China's chemical exports are fueling a "tsunami of meth" across Asia. Chinese manufacturers supply meth precursor chemicals to warlords, notably the Chinese-aligned, US-sanctioned United Wa State Army in Myanmar. This production (Yaba/ice) is believed to have been diverted from China's domestic market in the 1990s. Both guests confirmed this activity is impossible without the explicit knowledge and support of the Central Committee, noting China grants export subsidies, tax rebates, and uses state banks for money laundering associated with the drug trade. China benefits financially and strategically by weakening US-backed allies like Thailand and South Korea who are flooded with the drugs. This structure mirrors the fentanyl crisis in North America, and experts predict increasing co-production and sharing of chemical methods between Asian drug groups and Mexican cartels. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Syria's Complex Geopolitics: Air Bases, Sanctions, Accountability, and Great Power Mediation Guest: Ahmad Sharawi Ahmad Sharawi discussed the non-transparent situation in Syria, focusing on reports of potential US air bases (Mezzeh and Dumayr), with denials from the Syrian government suggesting they won't possess the bases but might allow US use for counter-ISIS missions or potentially a security agreement requested by Israel for deconfliction, noting a recent US C-130 spotted landing at the Mezzeh air base near Damascus, while during a reported White House visit, Syrian requests included the removal of Caesar sanctions (partially waived by President Trump) and an Israeli withdrawal from the southern border buffer zone, with domestic movement towards accountability for the Suwayda province massacre and government security forces being arrested, as a Russian military delegation visited Damascus and southern Syria, potentially acting as a deconfliction mechanism between Syria and Israeli forces, with Russia's goal appearing to be balancing regional interests while maintaining its bases in western Syria. 1015-1030 CONTINUED Syria's Complex Geopolitics: Air Bases, Sanctions, Accountability, and Great Power Mediation Guest: Ahmad Sharawi Ahmad Sharawi discussed the non-transparent situation in Syria, focusing on reports of potential US air bases (Mezzeh and Dumayr), with denials from the Syrian government... 1030-1045 Venezuela Crisis: Potential Maduro Exit and Shifting Political Tides in Latin America Guests: Ernesto Araújo and Alejandro Peña Esclusa Alejandro Peña Esclusa and Ernesto Araújo discussed the crisis in Venezuela, noting a powerful US fleet gathered nearby, with Maduro fearing military intervention and reportedly wanting to discuss surrender conditions with President Trump, though his exit is complicated by his ally Diosdado Cabello, who heads operations for the Cartel of the Suns and has no path for redemption, while Maduro's potential fall would deliver a severe blow to the organized crime and drug trafficking networks that permeate South America's political structures, with the opposition, led by María Corina Machado, having transition plans, and Brazilian President Lula neutralized from strongly opposing US actions due to ongoing tariff negotiations with Trump, as the conversation highlighted a new conservative political wave in Latin America, with optimism reported in Argentina following elections that strengthened Javier Milei, and in Chile, where conservative José Antonio Kast is strongly positioned, representing a blend of economic freedom, anti-organized crime platforms, and conservative values. 1045-1100 CONTINUED Venezuela Crisis: Potential Maduro Exit and Shifting Political Tides in Latin America Guests: Ernesto Araújo and Alejandro Peña Esclusa Alejandro Peña Esclusa and Ernesto Araújo discussed the crisis in Venezuela, noting a powerful US fleet gathered nearby, with Maduro fearing military intervention and... THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 1/4 Jews Versus Rome: Two Centuries of Rebellion and the Cost of Diaspora Revolts Professor Barry Strauss of Cornell University, Professor Emeritus and Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, discusses the history of Jewish resistance against the Roman Empire as detailed in his book Jews versus Rome. Following the destruction of the Temple and Jerusalem, rebellion continued among Jewish communities scattered across the Roman world. 1115-1130 CONTINUED 2/4 During Emperor Trajan's campaign against the Parthian Empire, a widespread and coordinated "diaspora revolt" erupted in 115–117 AD, beginning in Libya and spreading to Egypt, Cyprus, and Mesopotamia. This was a major challenge, forcing Trajan to divert a legion, as Egypt was the empire's strategic breadbasket. The revolt was spurred by the insulting Jewish tax, the fiscus Judaicus, paid to Jupiter, and the frustrated expectation that the Temple would be rebuilt within 70 years. The Jewish community in Alexandria, possibly the largest Jewish city in the ancient world, was wiped out during the suppression, a disaster for diaspora Judaism. 1130-1145 CONTINUED 3/4 srajan's successor, Hadrian, revered the war against Parthia but recognized the Jews' disloyalty. Starting in 117 AD, Hadrian planned to rebuild Jerusalem as a pagan city named Aelia Capitolina to demonstrate that the Temple would never be restored and to discourage collusion between Jews and Parthians. This provoked the Bar Kokhba Revolt in 132 AD. The leader, Simon Bar Kosa, took the messianic title Bar Kokhba, meaning "Son of the Star," and was accepted as the Messiah by some leading rabbis, including Rabbi Akiva. 1145-1200 CONTINUED The rebels utilized successful asymmetrical warfare, operating from underground tunnel systems and ambushing Roman forces. The conflict was so severe that Hadrian deployed reinforcements from across the empire, including Britain, and the Roman army was badly mauled. The revolt ended bloodily at the stronghold of Betar. As lasting punishment for centuries of trouble and rebellion, the Romans renamed the province from Judea to Syria Palestina. Pockets of resistance continued, notably the Gallus Revolt in 351–352 AD. Guest: Professor Barry Strauss. FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Iran's Multi-Faceted Crises: Water Scarcity, Pollution, and Transnational Repression Guest: Jonathan Sayah Jonathan Sayah discussed the multi-faceted crises plaguing Iran, reflecting poor management and ecological decline, with Tehran overwhelmed by severe water scarcity as dams dry up and crippling air pollution with CO2 levels 10 times the WHO standard, while the water crisis is worsened by the regime, especially IRGC-affiliated contractors, who prioritize their support base through unregulated mega-projects, leading to rivers and lakes drying up, a deliberate deprivation of clean water that constitutes a human rights violation, as environmental disasters have driven widespread internal migration into Tehran, taxing infrastructure and leading to issues like land subsidence, with the population considered "prime for unrest," while separately, Iran continues its policy of transnational repression, highlighted by the recent foiled plot to assassinate Israel's ambassador in Mexico, as Iran targets both Israeli/American officials and relies on criminal networks to repress Iranian dissidents abroad, while consistently holding American dual citizens hostage as political leverage. 1215-1230 CONTINUED 1230-1245 Ukraine Conflict: French Arms Deal, Sabotage, and the Perilous Battle for Pokrovsk. Guest: John Hardy. John Hardy reported that Ukraine signed a letter of intent with France to obtain 100 Rafale warplanes over 10 years, along with air defense systems. While this partnership is encouraging, Hardy expressed concern that Ukraine is excessively over-diversifying its future air fleet (including F-16, Grippen, Mirage, and Rafale) which complicates long-term sustainment and maintenance. Simultaneously, alarming reports surfaced that sabotage was blamed for an explosion on a major railway line in Poland used to supply Ukraine, fitting a pattern of suspected Russian covert operations against European infrastructure. On the battlefield, fighting continues in Pokrovsk (Picro). Hardy warned that if Ukrainian forces prioritize a politically motivated hold, they risk the encirclement and destruction of troops in nearby areas. Poor weather, such as fog, plays a significant role in the conflict, as Russians often time assaults during these conditions to impede Ukrainian aerial reconnaissance and FPV drones 1245-100 AM raq Elections and Yemen's Houthi Crackdown Guest: Bridget Toomey Bridget Toomey discussed recent developments in Iraq and Yemen, noting that Iraqi parliamentary elections saw a higher-than-expected 56% voter turnout, with preliminary results suggesting Shiite parties close to Tehran performed well and might secure enough seats to form the next government, despite internal infighting and votes remaining largely sectarian, while Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani received credit for stability and his party performed strongly, though many Iraqis doubt the elections affect real change, believing critical decisions are made via elite backroom deals, and turning to Yemen, the Houthis announced the arrest of a purported Saudi-American-Israeli spy ring, a paranoid crackdown following Israel's successful targeting of Houthi government and military leaders in August, with arrests including 59 UN workers and prosecutors requesting the death sentence for 21, aiming to intimidate domestic dissent and signal resolve to Western and regional adversaries, especially in sensitive Houthi locations in Sana'a.
