Edition No179 | 05-07-2025 - The number of incidents befalling Russia's sanctions-busting grey fleet of oil tankers is increasing. Is a pattern emerging, or are these accidents inevitable for a vast fleet of vessels that have outlived their mandated lifespans? Or is Ukraine enforcing oil sanctions in the only way that works – by physically disabling Russian ships on the high seas? Today, we will revisit the topic of oil sanctions by other means — and ask if grey fleet incidents, are covert military cover, and the strategic pain that may be inflicted on Moscow's war machine. We dig deeper into each maritime event, unpack Europe's response, and trace the illicit oil trading that is bringing in vast sums of money to power Putin's war machine.----------DESCRIPTION:Targeting Russia's Gray Fleet: An Inside Look at Covert Maritime WarfareIn this episode of Silicon Bites, we delve into the targeting of Russia's 'gray fleet'—a clandestine fleet of oil tankers sustaining Putin's economy and war efforts. We examine various incidents involving these vessels, potential acts of sabotage, and how Ukraine and Europe are responding. Detailed events such as the Eagle S incident, the Koala's hull blast, and mediteranean attacks on Sea Charm, Sea Jewel, and Grace Phem are discussed. Additionally, we analyze the strategic economic impact of these actions and the need for a united NATO and EU stance to choke off Russia's illegal oil trade support, implicating higher necessary pressure on Putin's war economy.----------CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction to Russia's Gray Fleet01:43 Incidents Involving Russian Ships04:58 European Response to the Gray Fleet06:28 Russia's Countermeasures11:33 Strategic Importance and Conclusion----------LINKS: https://www.ft.com/content/b2671301-d71f-4781-8d8d-86f7b350ff3c https://www.reuters.com/world/germany-launches-additional-measures-against-russias-shadow-fleet-2025-07-01/https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/key-points-about-russias-shadow-fleet-oil-tankers-2025-05-15/ https://apnews.com/article/5e74109e5b1d84dc73ac2592068d4689 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/may/18/eu-foreign-ministers-call-for-coordinated-action-on-russian-shadow-fleet-in-baltic-sea https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/05/20/russia-shadow-fleet-sanctions-baltic-sea/ ----------Car for Ukraine has once again joined forces with a group of influencers, creators, and news observers during this summer.

The legacy of the Cold War in Europe continues to impact present day events, most notably in Ukraine. In this episode I speak with author Stephan Kieninger about his new book Securing Peace in Europe - Strobe Talbott, NATO, and Russia After the Cold War. Talbott was a key figure in US President Clinton's administration playing a pivotal role in shaping US foreign policy, We talk about the NATO negotiations with Mikhail Gorbachev, his successor Boris Yeltsin and subsequently Vladimir Putin. The discussion delves into NATO's expansion and Russia's desire for a seat at the table in the new European security framework. Also covered are Russia's objectives and the misunderstandings that arose as NATO began to expand, often leading to tensions between the West and Russia. The episode also addresses the critical issue of nuclear proliferation, particularly concerning Ukraine, and the challenges faced in negotiating security guarantees that ultimately proved insufficient to deter Russia.

Brian Mudd fills in for Clay and Buck, he opens with sharp commentary on House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’ extended “magic minute” speech, a procedural move delaying the final vote on the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act." Mudd humorously critiques Jeffries’ filibuster-style tactics, drawing comparisons to Cory Booker’s past Senate performance and highlighting the strategic implications for House Republicans. The show dives deep into the legislative showdown in Congress, emphasizing the GOP’s push to pass President Trump’s signature bill before July 4th. Mudd explores the political theater surrounding the vote, including reactions from figures like AOC and Chuck Schumer, and the broader implications for Trump’s second-term agenda. The hour transitions into foreign policy, where Mudd and guest Jon Decker, iHeartRadio’s White House correspondent, analyze Trump’s recent NATO summit success, the crippling of Iran’s nuclear program, and new trade deals with the UK and Vietnam. Decker praises Trump’s strategic use of executive power and legislative influence, noting his rapid pace of executive orders and legislative wins compared to his first term. The segment closes with legal analysis of the Diddy trial verdict, where Decker discusses the implications of the not-guilty ruling on major charges, the high bond amount, and the possibility of a presidential pardon. Mudd speaks with Congressman Jimmy Patronis from Florida, who expresses frustration over House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries' record-breaking "magic minute" speech that has delayed the vote. Patronis describes the speech as "a colossal waste of time" and "ridiculous," noting that Jeffries appears to be attempting to break Kevin McCarthy's record for the longest continuous floor speech. The conversation shifts to the fiscal conservative perspective on the bill, with Mudd questioning Patronis about concerns regarding federal debt and deficit implications. Despite some controversial elements like allowing certain illegal immigrants access to Medicaid, Patronis indicates he will vote in favor of the legislation. Brian Mudd gives listeners a detailed breakdown of how the BBB legislation will financially impact average American families and taxpayers, emphasizing that "the round trip impact of this bill is so much more than the average person begins to understand."

Behind the News, 7/3/25 - guests: Lily Lynch on the NATO summit, Megan Greenwell on private equity - Doug Henwood

For years, U.S. presidents have complained that European governments spend far too little on their militaries, leaving the United States to pick up a disproportionate share of the tab for the transatlantic alliance. But in the past few years, Europe's defense spending has exploded. At the NATO summit last week, U.S. allies committed to spending five percent of GDP on defense. That's far more than the two percent target U.S. policymakers long called for. It's even more than the United States itself spends on defense—the result of both escalating pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump and escalating threats from Russian President Vladimir Putin. But Celeste Wallander, until recently the top defense official overseeing U.S. policy toward Europe and Russia, warns in a new Foreign Affairs essay that this transformation will have more complicated consequences than most Americans expect. A more capable Europe will also mean a more independent Europe, more willing to defy U.S. priorities and make demands for cooperation. Wallander has been a key player in the transatlantic alliance as a top official on the National Security Council and in the Pentagon, including as assistant secretary of defense for international security affairs during the Biden administration. She is now executive director of Penn Washington and an adjunct senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security. The United States, in her view, will have to take a very different approach to the transatlantic alliance—at a time when it's as vital as ever, in Ukraine and beyond.

Nielsen emphasizes the need for Europe to adopt a leadership role in defense strategies, touching upon the complexities of nuclear deterrence and the resilience required to counteract Russian aggression.

The language from European leaders was fawning and obsequious. At one point, the head of Nato, Mark Rutte, even called Donald Trump “daddy”. But when the US president left the Nato summit in late June, there was a sigh of relief that he had not made any more angry criticism of the alliance. And after months of American pressure, Nato members agreed to increase their spending on defence to 5% of GDP by 2035.  So how did Europe become so unable to defend itself that it was forced to resort to outright flattery of an American president?In this episode, we report from the recent Siena Conference on the Europe of the Future in Italy about how the EU dropped the ball on its own defence and what its options are now. Featuring Ana E. Juncos, professor of European politics and the University of Bristol in the UK, Francesco Grillo, academic fellow at Bocconi University in Italy, and François Lafond, former assistant professor at  Sciences Po University in France and a former advisor to the Western Balkans.This episode was written and produced by Gemma Ware with assistance from Katie Flood and Mend Mariwany.

Last week on Fox News the network worked its audience into a frenzy of paranoia over possible secret Iranian sleeper cells while it celebrated the cruelty of a migrant detention center surrounded by alligators and pythons. As the network focused on fear and sadism it also lauded Donald J. Trump as the daddy of NATO.As a new detention center in Florida nicknamed ‘Alligator Alcatraz' was announced last week Fox News hosts couldn't hide their excitement over the prospect of an undocumented immigrant being eaten by a giant reptile or suffocated by a enormous snake.Folks at Fox News might not have realized they were echoing a dark and sinister past in the American south when Black Americans were once used as actual bait for alligators according to researchers at the Jim Crow Museum.

On June 25, NATO leaders agreed at their annual summit on a goal of spending five percent of their gross domestic product on defense, more than doubling the old two-percent target. It's unclear how many members will actually reach this goal. Even the target relies on some creative accounting: of the five percent, only 3.5 percent is pledged to what officials call “pure” defense spending, with the remainder going to security and defense-related “critical infrastructure.” Ahead of the NATO summit, The New Yorker published “Collective Punishment: Why is Donald Trump upending America's commitment to NATO?” a story by contributing writer Joshua Yaffa, the author of the 2021 Orwell Prize-winning book “Between Two Fires: Truth, Ambition, and Compromise in Putin's Russia.” In his new article, Yaffa describes how the looming threats of Russian aggression and American withdrawal are pressuring European leaders to reassess their approach to NATO and their broader defense strategies. He joined this episode of The Naked Pravda to discuss the story.Как поддержать нашу редакцию — даже если вы в России и вам очень страшно

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, WJNO's Brian Mudd fills in. The Senate Parliament has rejected a central Medicaid provision in the Senate GOP's sweeping budget bill, delivering a significant setback to Republican efforts to reduce federal spending. In addition, the Big Beautiful Bill is a determent to the Democratic agenda, which is why there are efforts to oppose it. If the bill does not pass, taxes could rise significantly, placing a heavy financial burden on average households. Estimates suggest that families could face an increase of up to $3,900 in annual taxes, which leads to increased financial strain, requiring people to work more or rely on government assistance. Lastly, one of the bill's key components involves encouraging NATO allies to contribute more to shared defense costs. Under President Donald Trump's leadership, the U.S. has invested approximately $404 billion into NATO, and the bill proposes using tariffs as a way to balance these contributions. Advocates believe this approach would help ensure that other countries share the financial responsibility, making this another reason to support the bill. Learn more about your ad choices.

Last week, a clip of BBC Ukrainian reporter Myroslava Petsa went viral, after President Trump asked a series of questions about her personal story during a press conference at the Nato summit. Myroslava tells us what was going through her mind at that moment, and what it has been like to cover the conflict while her husband fights for Ukraine.We also hear from Matthew Savill at RUSI about the intensification of nightly Russian drone attacks on Ukrainian towns and cities. Can Russia sustain this level of aerial pressure? Is Ukraine's effort to target manufacturing hubs actually effective? And why is President Zelensky so keen to buy new Patriot missile defence systems?Today's episode is presented by Victoria Derbyshire and Vitaly Shevchenko.
