Show notes / PDF & Infographic / Free Audiobook / What if I told you that America is showing the exact same warning signs as every fallen empire in history? The U.S. is now 247 years old... and according to billionaire Ray Dalio's research, empires collapse after about 250 years. This isn't a conspiracy theory - it's a pattern that's repeated for centuries. In this 15-minute StoryShots audiobook summary, you'll discover why high debt, money printing, and political division aren't random problems... they're predictable stages of decline that have happened to EVERY major power before us. But here's the good news: once you understand the pattern, you can prepare. Listen to find out how... Ray Dalio's book 'Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order' explores how nations rise and fall through predictable historical cycles. By studying 500 years of global economic history, Dalio reveals a 'Big Cycle' where empires typically emerge, build strong systems, become powerful, and then decline over approximately 250 years. This pattern is characterized by specific stages, including building robust education and technology systems, becoming financially successful, achieving military strength, and eventually facing challenges like excessive debt, wealth inequality, and political division. The book identifies three primary forces driving these historical changes: the debt and money cycle, internal disorder, and external disorder. Dalio analyzes how countries like the United States and China fit into these patterns, highlighting eight key factors that determine a nation's power, including education, competitiveness, innovation, economic output, trade, military strength, financial systems, and reserve currency status. He specifically examines the United States' current position, noting warning signs of potential decline such as high government debt, wealth inequality, political polarization, and infrastructure decay. While the book presents a potentially concerning narrative about global power transitions, it also offers practical advice for individuals, investors, and policymakers. Dalio recommends developing adaptable skills, diversifying investments across countries, learning from historical patterns, and preparing for potential economic shifts. The core message is not one of inevitable doom, but of understanding historical cycles to navigate change more effectively. By studying these patterns, individuals and societies can better position themselves to thrive during significant global transformations.

On this episode of Domino Theory, co-hosts Christian Whiton and Mark Simon speak with Elliott Abrams about human rights in a notional Trump II administration. Abrams was as senior official in the Trump, Bush, and Reagan administrations. How did human rights become a woke progressive crusade, including against our allies, and how can a potentially reelected Trump and his top people bring it back to being a tool of unapologetic national power? We also throw around ideas for negotiating with governments like those of China and Russia, which is necessary, while still pressing human rights.

After ten years at the helm of Transpower, chief executive Alison Andrew is stepping down. She reflects on a tumultuous decade of managing Aotearoa's most important network, and why she considers being relatively unknown in the public arena as a mark of success. This interview was recorded shortly before a Transpower pylon collapsed in Northland on June 21st, causing widespread power outages in the region. The collapse was caused by contractors who failed to observe proper procedure while carrying out routine maintenance. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Feeling disillusioned by the state of national leadership? Welcome to the Daily Devo. I am Vince Miller. This week, we are reading 1 Samuel 4. I've titled this chapter "Misusing Divine Power." In the first few verses of Chapter 4, we discover that the Israelites were at war with the Philistines. They engaged in two battles sustaining devastating losses, first 7000 dead, then 30,000 dead, until the Philistines claimed victory, captured the Ark of God, and then sent the Israelites running. Now Eli was ninety-eight years old and his eyes were set so that he could not see. And the man said to Eli, “I am he who has come from the battle; I fled from the battle today.” And he said, “How did it go, my son?” He who brought the news answered and said, “Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has also been a great defeat among the people. Your two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God has been captured.” As soon as he mentioned the ark of God, Eli fell over backward from his seat by the side of the gate, and his neck was broken and he died, for the man was old and heavy. He had judged Israel forty years.— 1 Samuel 4:15-18 What we witness here is not just a catastrophic defeat in battle. This is the end of an era. The end of 200 years of the nation of Israel being led by Judges. It is a sad ending that comes about by an apathetic Priest and Judge who fails to lead. But it also marks the beginning of a new chapter. Samuel, the great Judge, will lead us from a Theocracy led by Judges into a Monarchy led by Kings, a transition that brings with it the promise of hope and change. As I have aged, I have learned a thing or two about national leaders and government powers. There isn't one who isn't corrupted by some form of sin. Israel, God's people, would be led by Judges, Priests, Kings, and Prophets, and not one of these men and their systems were without sin. There was and is only one perfect leader. He is our Judge, Priest, King, and Prophet — Jesus Christ. Till he comes to reign earth again and take us home, he reigns within our hearts. He is the only perfect leader. Till Jesus comes, we will live under the leadership of some unfortunate leader or power. In the next four years, Americans will either be led by a babbling puppet president or a self-absorbed playboy. Those are the choices we have in our Constitutional Republic. It does not matter how you present or position either one of these men. Neither man is our Savior because neither is a match for the Savior. And that is what Eli just learned. His failures in leadership were no match for God's plan, promises, and power. Age, blindness, apathy, poor parenting, and his failure to lead were not an excuse. God held him accountable for all this, tipped over his chair, and took the reigns from another apathetic and pathetic leader. We have a ruler. He is the only ruler. He rules all creation. It doesn't matter who rules and reigns our nation. The only thing that matters is if God rules your heart. If he doesn't, then you will have hell to pay, just like Eli. #DivinePower, #SpiritualLeadership, #GodsSovereignty Ask This: Reflecting on Eli's leadership, how can we ensure we don't become apathetic in our roles of influence, whether in our families, workplaces, or communities? Considering the contrast between human rule and God's sovereignty highlighted in this passage, how can we actively invite God to rule our hearts and guide our decisions in a world filled with imperfect leadership? Do This: Submit to the King. Pray This: Lord, help me recognize and resist the temptation of apathy in my leadership roles. Guide me to lead with integrity and passion, reflecting Your divine power and sovereignty in all I do. Have Your will with our national leaders. Amen. Play This: Champion.

This episode was produced in the run-up to the new government's first budget later in May. There is an expectation of increased spending on Defence. That remains to be seen but if there is, what should it be on?A lot of discussion takes place around what sort of hardware and how many people the New Zealand Defence Force needs to have in order to achieve its mission.Considerably less discussion focuses on what the Government and people of New Zealand need to do to allow the NZDF to achieve that same mission.I talk about some of the elements of that in this episode – what is National Power and how do we optimize it?Tactical effectiveness is essentially the capacity to bring together training, equipment, leadership, and other military endeavours to win battles and keep winning them in a changing battlefield environment. That is the primary job of the NZDF.That can't be done without several other elements being in place including good policy and strategy at the political level.This has been poorly done for years with successive governments adopting a satisficing approach best summarised as ‘how little can we get away with?' A strategy doesn't cost any money. Execution of it does. Last year's announcement that claimed to be a Defence Policy and Strategy was little more than a meta-policy sitting above many other existing policies. And now we wait for the next Defence Capability Framework.Success for New Zealand requires the effective wielding of all elements of national power – people, ideas, industry, information, alliances, etc.I am not suggesting we put our economy on a war footing. But we should know how to and we need to move closer to it now if we truly believe the deteriorating international security situation reports. That means trying to generate optimum rather than maximum national power.Traditional views of generating national power have focused on population size, wealth and abundance of natural resources, industrial base and productivity. But these measures fall short when you consider the massive military effectiveness generated by relatively small countries such as those of the Baltic states, Israel and the countries of Scandinavia.What is different is that these countries have cultures, social structures, and political institutions that emphasise and strengthen national power. All these countries have some form of national service.This episode traverses goverenment policy, voluntary national service, defence industry, business continuity planning and individual preparedness for disruption.

About the Lecture: The Wagner Group has operated as a manifestation of Russian influence, supporting critical Russian interests in key domains across the globe. The organization, originally founded in 2014 by oligarch businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin as a private mercenary force, has become one of the more prolific instruments of power projection in the Russian geopolitical arsenal. About the Speaker: Dr. John R. McCarthy is currently the Senior Program Advisor with the US Navy's only explosives, weapons, and foreign materiel Technical Exploitation command. In 2006, John was recruited from the private sector by Naval Surface Warfare Center, Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Division and subsequently mobilized as a naval reserve officer to initiate programmatic, infrastructure, and organizational development for the newly established Technical Support Detachment (TSD), which was to specialize in investigating, exploiting, and attacking the improvised explosive device (IED) manufacturing network on the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan. The command, renamed Expeditionary Exploitation Unit ONE (EXU-1), now spans the globe working with Combatant Commanders, Special Operations Command and forces, and the Intelligence Community supporting technical exploitation, technical intelligence collection, counterterrorism, and irregular warfare activities. Prior to his return to active-duty military and current federal service, John held a senior leadership position supporting business and financial operations at a non-profit healthcare organization and was a technical business development executive for a global specialty chemical manufacturer serving the industrial sector, for over 16 years. In addition, he has served as an adjunct professor and part time faculty of leadership & management and other business and intelligence disciplines for a number of universities, since 2004. Educationally, Dr. McCarthy holds a Graduate Certificate of Intelligence Studies (Strategic Intelligence in Special Operations concentration), a Master of Science of Strategic Intelligence (MSSI) degree, a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree, and a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Organization and Management with a specialization in Leadership studies.

Reaching net-zero emissions by 2035 will require major overhauls to Canada's national power grid. One of the major challenges to doing so is the patchwork of power-generation methods across different provinces, making it impossible to implement a one-size-fits-all approach to decarbonization. And political differences between provincial leaders and the federal government will only complicate things further. So what will it take to develop a clean national grid in Canada? What are the feds doing to bring resistant provinces on-side?GUEST: Adam Radwanski, climate change columnist and feature writer for The Globe and Mail  

U.S. policymakers and strategists have long understood there are many more instruments involved in national security policy development and implementation than the DIME model (Diplomacy - Information - Military - Economic). Law Enforcement, often misunderstood, if not forgotten, is one of these instruments. Yet it possesses a powerful combination of hard and soft power, complements all other Instruments of National Power, and can be wielded at all levels – political - strategic, operational, and tactical. In this discussion, Marine Corps University's FBI Chair Supervisory Special Agent Joseph F. Garbato addresses existing generalizations and misconceptions, defines the instrument, and underscores its utility. Enjoyed this episode? Think there's room for improvement?

RT discusses Best Team that is not traditional national power

RT discusses Best Team that is not traditional national power

Often, policy makers and cybersecurity professionals talk about cybersecurity as if cybersecurity is only important insofar as it benefits or protects other assets or values. For example, it is common to hear people argue that cybersecurity is important because of its role in economic growth, or potential damage military operations. Those arguments are not wrong, but they fail to understand national power, and consequently grossly understate cybersecurity's importance in international politics. Information is a component of national power all on its own, and cybersecurity is an important part of that component. Properly situating information as a component of national power, and cybersecurity in its appropriate place within information will better inform policy and practice. Informational considerations should hold equal weight in national policy, and not be subordinated military or economic concerns. As a component of information power, cybersecurity operates alongside other components of information power, and should cooperate with, and learn from those components of informational power.

Welcome to August 28th, 2022 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate cheesy shows and seeing red. If you're a fan of Zordon or Rita Repulsa, then you know exactly what we're celebrating today. Although this kid's show was pieced together with old footage from a Japanese TV show, Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers was a huge hit in 1993. Five teenagers transformed into...well Power Rangers, who then merged into a giant robot that fought monsters. Yeah, it sounds crazy, but if you grew up in the 90s, this was THE show to watch. And your neighborhood was probably full of every color of Ranger on Halloween. On National Power Rangers Day, celebrate with a walk down memory lane and watch some old episodes. The special effects are cheesy but the lessons on teamwork are priceless! Though folks enjoy wine all year long, the end of Summer begins the seasonal celebration of the varietals known as reds. Merlot, Cabernet and Pinot Noir all pair well with the richer foods we all love to indulge in during cooler weather. And the good news is that reds are actually healthier for you than whites. The rule of thumb is that dryer wines are better for you than sweeter ones. And young wines, which tend to be darker, are healthier than the older, lighter ones. Moderation in all things is the key to a healthy life, but on National Red Wine Day, have fun indulging in the drink that's the very symbol of celebration.   I'm Anna Devere and I'm Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every  Learn more about your ad choices.

Coach Nichols considered by many to be one of the top women's college basketball recruiters in the country.  Coach Nichols takes us from the time we met in Mobile, while he was coaching at Central Florida, and throughout collegiate career.  We talk about his stops at the University of Kansas, University of Michigan, and his job in helping take West Virginia from the bottom of the Big East to a National Power.

The primary purpose of any nation's military force is to fight and win its wars. However, the military instrument of national power does much more than that. Most of those things keep the nation from having to fight wars. US and NATO support to Ukraine provides examples of the non-conflict roles of the military instrument.   If you think this material is worthwhile, please hit the like button, leave a comment, or share it with someone.

Since 2014, Moscow has used mercenaries in Ukraine, Syria, Africa, and other places to exert military power without accountability. Although these mercenaries, commonly referred to as the Wagner Group, never left Eastern Ukraine, they are now active again with the Russian invasion. Why? What is their value in a conventional war? What dangers do they present? That is the subject of this episode.   For more in-depth discussion of Wagner and other Russian mercenaries, please visit Episode  2, “What Are Russian Private Military Companies”; Episode 4, “The Difference Between Russian Quasi-Mercenary Organizations and Western PMSCs”; and Episode 6, “Meeting the Challenge.”

On this episode of Pilsners and Politics Podcast Benjamin sits down with Colonel Peterman and Colonel Davis, retired, to discuss the Instruments of National Power as it pertains to China. The trio focus on the acronym DIME. D - Diplomatic, I- Information, M-Military, and E-Economics. How does China size up to the United States? Is China our biggest foe? We answer these questions and more.  

The World Order which has stood since 1945 is today being tested in every corner of the globe and affecting our economy here in America. Host Fran Racioppi is joined in this episode by Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich to speak strategy across the Elements of National Power, the effectiveness of our diplomacy in the war between Russia and Ukraine, and the precedent set for our dealings with China, North Korea, Iran and other nuclear capable nations. They also discuss the point at which the US economy cracks into a recession, the decision to take the military option off the table and how education is critical for the next generation of American leaders.Read the full episode transcription here and learn more on The Jedburgh Podcast Website.Highlights:-Speaker Gingrich and Fran break down the current war between Ukraine and Russia along diplomatic, informational, military and economic fronts. -The Speaker provides his assessment of the Biden Administration's handling of the Ukraine-Russia conflict and America's relationship with Iran.-Fran asks the Speaker to explain the precedent being set by not directly intervening in the conflict. -Speaker Gingrich compares the leadership of Vladimir Putin, Volodymyr Zelensky and Joe Biden.-Fran presses the Speaker on his economic outlook for America, the drivers and impacts of inflation and the likelihood of a recession. -Military force is the last line of diplomacy. Speaker Gingrich assesses the capability of the Russian Army, the strength of American Armed Forces and what China is learning from watching.-Speaker Gingrich speaks about America's next generation of leaders, what they must do to keep America safe and free, the importance of improving our education system and why competition with China is the long game.Quotes:-“Virtually every medium-sized country is going to conclude that they need to get nuclear weapons.”-”Putin is behaving like the Russian bear. Zelensky has proven that the Ukrainians are lions.”-”People should not think this is incompetence….they are doing what they want to do. And they are doing what they believe in”-“I'll be very surprised if we aren't in a recession by 2023.”-”The non-commissioned officers, the sergeants, the warrant officers…they really drive the system.”-”I suspect (Xi Xingping) is asking himself ‘am I really as confident that the People's Liberation Army could effectively cross 160 miles of The Taiwan Straits and be successful.”-“This is an ideological worldview which is extraordinarily dangerous and runs a real risk, I think, of degenerating into a major war. “-“It's not so much superpower in the arrogant sense as it is sustaining a capability to ensure that freedom and safety survive.”-”I would say the number one challenge we have is the education system because we are literally not producing people today capable of competing with the Chinese.”Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich's Three Daily Foundations to Success:-Read 3-6 hours per day to remain informed-Have a defined process for Listening, Learning, Helping and Leading to plan around vision, strategy, projects and tasks -Focus on the most important tasks to bring value to a causeThis episode is brought to you by Jersey Mike's, 18A Fitness and Analytix Solutions.

On this episode of Pilsners and Politics Podcast, Benjamin sits down with Ret. Colonel Peterman to discuss the many questions surrounding the War in Ukraine. We cut through the noise that you hear from the mainstream media and discuss the instruments of national power. What are the instruments of national power? Instruments of national power include diplomacy, information, military, and economy, collectively identified by the acronym DIME. A nation does not necessarily have to be superior in each element of the DIME to achieve its national goals and interests. It does, however, have to be adept in managing each element of national power synergistically in order to achieve its desired results. We discuss DIME from the perspective of Russia and Ukraine. 

Nick opens this episode by talking to the head coach of Sunrise Christian Academy, Luke Barnwell, about helping build Sunrise into the top high school program in the country, coaching Zac Clemence and Buddy Hield, and how Gradey Dick will fit in at Kansas. Kevin Flaherty of CBS Sports joins the preview the Big 12 Tournament and who Kansas' most important player this postseason is. Finally we end with a mailbag including a mini-impromptu Bruce Weber rant.

“I have seen the future, and it works”. That was what Lincoln Steffens wrote in a letter to Maria Howe in 1919 with respect to Vladimir Lenin’s Soviet Union. Which societies are thought to “work”, and how does that influence the power and authority such societies have, and the global leadership they can exercise? Key Insights:We need to have another podcast on emerging great-power competition in a time of increasing global authoritarianismGreat powers remain great powers not just through economic and military strength, but by projecting an image that they are the wave of the future that others find attractive, or at least irresistibleIf Europe is a great power over the next two generations, it will be because of the great power status of fear—because fear of what unstable and inconsistent America, China, India, and perhaps Russia might try to bully it to do if it does not present a united front.The rise and fall of great powers is much more bizarre and contingent and subtle than historians see it in retrospectHexapodia!References:David Abernethy: The Dynamics of Global Dominance: European Overseas Empires, 1415-1980 Peter Falk & al.(1971): Columbo Justin Kaplan: Lincoln Steffens: A Biography Jacob T.
