    Shane Harris joins Matt to discuss his recent piece in The Atlantic, “Europe Is Answering Putin's Challenge.” From drone incursions over the Baltic to Trump's transactional diplomacy, Shane unpacks how European leaders are rearming, coordinating, and preparing for a future where Washington may no longer be the continent's security backstop. They explore NATO's shifting balance of power, the uneasy courtship between Trump and Europe's leaders, and whether the alliance can endure in an age of populism and uncertainty.

    Vor einem Jahr wurde Donald Trump als US-Präsident wiedergewählt. Seitdem schwankt der 79-Jährige zwischen Drohungen, Beschimpfungen, Versprechungen und manchmal auch Lügen. Vor allem aber ändert der US-Präsident ständig seine Meinung. Trump setzt auf das Prinzip der Unberechenbarkeit. Welche Folgen hat das für die internationale Gemeinschaft? Was hat sich in diesen zwölf Monaten verändert? Darüber spricht t-online-Chefredakteur Florian Harms mit Politikwissenschaftlerin Laura von Daniels und David Schafbuch, dem künftigen US-Korrespondenten von t-online.

    Vizita lui Mark Rutte văzută de la Chișinău: Un mesaj de continuitate strategică pe flancul estic, cu efecte și asupra R. Moldova

    Vizita secretarului general al NATO, Mark Rutte, la București a fost o demonstrație de forță diplomatică, menită să transmită un mesaj de continuitate și stabilitate strategică pe flancul estic, cu efecte și asupra Republicii Moldova. Pentru observatorii de la Chișinău, prezența lui Rutte vine să contracareze interpretările propagandistice ale Federației Ruse legate de decizia Washingtonului de a reduce formal efectivele americane din România. O corespondență semnată de Liliana Barbăroșie. Temele ediției: - Cum s-a văzut de la Chișinău vizita la București a noului secretar general al NATO, Mark Rutte. - Invitata Moldova Zoom de astăzi este Ramona Strugariu, directoarea Institutului Național al Justiției de la Chișinău. Într-un moment în care reformele din sistemul judiciar vor trebui doar să se amplifice, iar resursa umană este încă deficitară, Ramona Strugariu vorbește despre o soluție care ar putea schimba rezultatul: accesul direct în profesie al absolvenților Institutului Național al Justiției, așa cum se întâmplă în România. - Prima decizie a noului Guvern de la Chișinău a fost să închidă Centrul Cultural Rus. Dar Rusia are în continuare în România o instituție similară, constată jurnalistul Euronews România, Vitalie Cojocari. - Povestea tinerei artiste elisen.li: vocea unei generații care se întoarce acasă pentru a construi, a inspira și a schimba viitorul Republicii Moldova. Ecaterina Tanasiiciuc a căutat să afle povestea artistei elisen.li și a omului Elisaveta Ivasiuc. - Președinta Parlamentului European, Roberta Metsola, a ținut un discurs în fața noului Parlament de la Chișinău. - Secretarul general al NATO, Mark Rutte, mulțumește României pentru sprijinirea Republica Moldova în combaterea amenințărilor hibride din partea Rusiei. - Ucraina a reluat importurile de gaze prin ruta sudică Transbalcanică, care trece prin Republica Moldova, România și Bulgaria. Știrile zilei: Președinta Parlamentului European, Roberta Metsola, a ținut un discurs în fața noului Parlament de la Chișinău, ales în urma scrutinului din 28 septembrie și care este dominat de o majoritate pro-europeană. Roberta Metsola a venit cu mesaje de sprijin pentru parcursul european accelerat al Republicii Moldova și a dat asigurări că Bruxellesul va susține aspirația Chișinăului de a avea un acord de aderare în 2028. În același timp, ea a subliniat că transparența în cheltuirea fondurilor europene este esențială. Roberta Metsola efectuează o vizită de două zile în Republica Moldova în cadrul căreia are întâlniri cu oficialii moldoveni, dar și ci tinerii de la Liceul „Spiru Haret” din Chișinău. *** Secretarul general al NATO, Mark Rutte, a declarat că împărtășește „sentimentul de urgență” exprimat de președintele României, Nicușor Dan, cu privire la amenințările hibride din partea Rusiei și la faptul că România sprijină R. Moldova în acest sens. Declarațiile au fost făcute în cadrul unui interviu oferit portalului Calea Europeană. „Vă pot asigura că întreaga NATO, inclusiv România, suntem cu toții foarte conștienți de amenințarea hibridă. Nu putem vorbi întotdeauna public despre ceea ce facem pentru a o contracara, pentru a ne asigura că alții nu vor încerca din nou. Dar este o parte integrantă a apărării noastre”, a continuat secretarul general al Alianței. Președintele Nicușor Dan a prezentat în octombrie liderilor europeni, la summitul Comunității Politice Europene de la Copenhaga, un document privind ingerințele Rusiei care au condus la anularea alegerilor prezidențiale din noiembrie 2024. Mark Rutte a precizat că a văzut același mod de operare și la alegerile parlamentare din R. Moldova. „Mulțumiri României pentru tot ceea ce faceți în acest sens pentru Moldova. Este crucial. Este extrem de important ca alegerile să fie cât mai libere posibil”, a spus Mark Rutte. *** Ucraina a reluat importurile de gaze prin ruta sudică Transbalcanică, care trece prin Republica Moldova, România și Bulgaria, așa-numitul Coridor Vertical, ca răspuns la intensificarea atacurilor rusești asupra infrastructurii de gaze și energie, care au redus producția internă cu cel puțin jumătate. Folosirea traseului de către Ucraina a devenit posibilă după ce recent România și Republica Moldova au redus cu 50 la sută tarifele de tranzit prin Coridorului vertical. *** Comerciantul global de mărfuri Gunvor a renunțat la achiziția activelor externe ale „Lukoil”. Decizia vine după ce Ministerul de Finanțe al SUA a numit compania de trading petrolier „o marionetă a Kremlinului”, scrie Ziarul de Gardă. În Republica Moldova Lukoil are o cotă de piață importantă și este furnizor unic pentru aeroportul internațional Chișinău. Autoritățile moldovene sunt în căutarea de soluții pentru a preveni o eventuală criză. „Lukoil” anunțase vânzarea activelor sale din străinătate, evaluate la aproximativ 20 de miliarde de euro, la patru zile după ce a fost supus sancțiunilor americane, iar trei zile mai târziu ajunsese la un acord cu traderul de petrol Gunvor. Pentru încheierea tranzacției era necesară aprobarea autorităților americane responsabile de sancțiuni. Totuși, Ministerul de Finanțe al SUA a declarat că „atâta timp cât Putin continuă aceste crime fără sens, marioneta Kremlinului — Gunvor — nu va primi niciodată o licență pentru a opera și a obține profit”. După această declarație, reprezentantul Gunvor, Seth Pietras, a declarat pentru Politico că firma își retrage oferta pentru activele externe ale „Lukoil”.

Discussion shifts to the overwhelming US military buildup near Venezuela, which might force Maduro's departure by damaging his credibility, possibly via anti-narcotics action. The interview concludes by analyzing the anticlimactic Trump-Xi meeting, attributing the lack of confrontation to Xi Jinping's significantly weakened position due to China's shattered economy and internal power struggles.

    Igennem et helt år skal Anders Fogh Rasmussen gentage den samme sætning om, at han ikke kandiderer til nogen toppost. Virkeligheden er en lidt anden. Men det er der kun tre mennesker, der ved, udover ham selv: Hans kone, hans departementschef og en enkelt rådgiver i Statsministeriet. Til sidst bliver det så ulideligt at gentage sætningen, at han rejser til udlandet, når der er tirsdags-pressemøde. Mens Anders Fogh Rasmussen er generalsekretær i NATO vælter han på cyklen og brækker sin skulder. Behandlingen kræver morfin. Det gjorde ham mere medgørlig i forhandlingerne i NATO-rådet. I dette kapitel fortæller Anders Fogh Rasmussen også, hvad han mener om, at Venstre i 2022 valgte at gå i regering med Socialdemokratiet og om det forhandlingsresultat, der kom ud af det.

    Donald Trump's suggested the US could restart explosive tests of nuclear weapons, after more than 30 years. Is this a symptom of a nuclear arms race already underway, or could it kickstart one?William Alberque, who has played a leading role in NATO's nuclear policies, and Jon Wolfsthal who advised President Obama, share their thoughts on whether the US is about to break a global ban on detonations, and what that could mean for us all.Sitrep also explains how atomic weapons have been tested and verified, without explosions, since the 1990s.And as the UK develops a new nuclear warhead in parallel with the US, Professor Michael Clarke assesses whether any testing row could drag Britain in by association.

    Poslanci si včera zvolili většinu vedení nové Sněmovny. A do jejího čela i přes odpor končících vládních stran a Pirátů dosadili lídra SPD Tomia Okamuru. Může si nový šéf dolní komory získat respekt na mezinárodním poli?Hostem Ptám se já byl europoslanec Jan Farský (STAN). Předsedou Poslanecké sněmovny se ve středu podle dohody vznikající vládní koalice ANO, SPD a Motoristů stal lídr SPD Tomio Okamura. Do dvou ze čtyř místopředsednických funkcí poslanci zvolili Patrika Nachera (ANO) a Jiřího Bartáka (Motoristé). Kandidáti budoucích opozičních stran Jan Skopeček (ODS) a Olga Richterová (Piráti) neuspěli. Volba dalších dvou místopředsedovů tak bude pokračovat příští týden. Tomio Okamura získal v tajné volbě 107 poslaneckých hlasů ze 197 odevzdaných. Jeho zvolení ostře zkritizovali politici dosavadní vládní koalice a Pirátů. Ti proti jeho kandidatuře vystupovali ještě před volbou ve sněmovní diskusi. Vinili přitom Okamuru z rasismu, xenofobie a šovinismu, z rozdělování společnosti nebo z šíření proruských narativů a z jeho zpochybňování členství v EU a v NATO. Připomínali i jeho přerušené stíhání pro podezření z podněcování k nenávisti v souvislosti s loňskými předvolebními plakáty SPD.Nový šéf Sněmovny přislíbil, že v případě zvolení bude nestranným předsedou a uvedl, že chce v dolní komoře přispět k lepší atmosféře.„Je to určitě součást dohody o nevydání jednotlivců, o nezbavení imunity. A tahle první část dohody se naplnila a naplnila se vrchovatě. Až mě překvapilo, jak snadno to šlo,“ reagoval europoslanec Jan Farský s tím, že Okamuru podle něj evropští politici svým způsobem přijmou.„Speciálně v Evropě je snaha jednat s každým. Ale (Tomio Okamura) historický záznam nezruší, včetně popírání nebo minimálně zlehčování holocaustu. A to jsou věci, které se v Evropě nenosí. Ale třeba se změní.“ A jak by evropští politici přistupovali k Filipovi Turkovi, pokud by se nakonec stal ministrem zahraničí? „Do místnosti ho pustí, samozřejmě je otázka, jakou sílu bude mít v té místnosti. A ta úplně minimální. Bude to ostuda pro Českou republiku a oslabení pozice České republiky i v evropském i ve světovém měřítku. Jestli to je cílem Andreje Babiše a jeho nominace, tak se nedá nic dělat,“ dodal Farský. Co lze od Okamury čekat v roli třetího nejvyššího ústavního činitele?  Jak se v Evropě dívají na vznikající euroskeptickou vládu Česka?

Peste 600 de oameni au plecat deja (Ziarul Financiar)  Analiză: Vizită de consolare a liderului NATO în România? (DW) Secretarul general al NATO a venit la București să convingă România că retragerea parțială a trupelor americane nu afectează securitatea statului, fiindcă „toată Alianța va veni să salveze țara” în cazul unui atac. Liderul NATO, Mark Rutte, primit pentru prima dată în această calitate la București, a declarat că președintele american Donald Trump a păstrat „angajamentul față de Alianță” și față de „efeorturile ei comune” și că oricum intră în funcțiune de acum Santinela Estului (Eastern Sentry). După întâlnirea pe care a avut-o cu președintele Nicușor Dan, cei doi adus argumente prin care să demonstreze că plecarea militarilor americani de elită de la Baza Mihail Kogălniceanu și rămânerea aici a tehnicienilor și aviației nu afectează în niciun fel siguranța României. Atât Rutte, cât și Dan au insistat că Santinela Estului îi va înlocui cu brio pe soldații SUA. După ce 21 de drone rusești au intrat în spațiul aerian al Poloniei, în septembrie, NATO a anunțat că lansează operațiunea Santinela Estului care urmează să integreze toate capacitățile de apărare din regiunea aflată între Marea Neagră, Marea Baltică și Mediterana. Secretarul general NATO a venit în România nu doar pentru a discuta cu oficialii români despre cum evoluează Santinela Estului sau despre cumpărăturile de care are nevoie țara pentru a se apăra, cât mai cu seamă pentru a da asigurări că țara nu va fi abandonată. Mark Rutte a vrut să fie sigur că fiecare român va înțelege că NATO va apăra la o adică România și că nu doar americanii pot întări scutul defensiv la Marea Neagră și la granița de Est a Alianței. A fost un fel de vizită de consolare, după anunțul plecării celor 1000 de militari trimiși aici de SUA, consideră jurnalista DW Sabina Fati. Cine este Bogos, afaceristul din Vaslui acuzat acum de DNA că punea presiuni pentru schimbarea unui director care descoperise nereguli grave la fermele lui. Ironizat de un om din dosar că „degeaba s-a dus la Bolojan. I-a zis: «Nu mă bag»” (HotNews) Considerat unul dintre principalii jucători de pe piața avicolă din România, Fănel Bogos a fost reținut de procurori pentru 24 de ore în dosarul în care este acuzat de DNA că „a apelat la rețele de influență” pentru a schimba conducerea DSVSA Vaslui. DNA nu a făcut, încă, publice captele de acuzare și nici numele persoanelor inculpate în dosarul Bogos. Mediafax a scris ieri, citând stenograme din dosar, că Bogos a apelat la „rețele de influență” pentru a schimba conducerea DSVSA Vaslui ajungând și la premierul Ilie Bolojan. Guvernul a confirmat că premierul s-a întâlnit cu Bogos, care a însoțit un lider PNL la întrevedere, dar discuția „nu a avut niciun fel de urmări”. Versiunea guvernului e confirmată de o stenogramă din dosar, în care un apropiat râde de Bogos că a discutat cu Bolojan, care a zis că „nu se bagă”. De la un fost CAP cumpărat în 2001, medicul veterinar Fănel Bogos din Vaslui a reușit să dezvolte o afacere impresionantă, ajungând în prezent la peste 20 de ferme de păsări în Vaslui, Iași și Galați, stație de incubație și o fabrică de preparate din carne.  Pe larg, pe pagina HotNews.

OMV Petrom disponibilizează 10% din forţa de muncă până în 2027. Peste 600 de oameni au plecat deja. „Vrem economii de 150 mil. euro, de la personal până la tot ce ne putem imagina. Vrem să fim rezilienţi pentru vremurile dificile care ar putea veni.“ (Ziarul Financiar)  OMV Petrom, cea mai mare companie din România, ia măsuri importante pentru optimizarea costurilor. „Investim mult timp pentru a ne asigura că suntem rezilienţi pentru vremurile dificile ce ar putea veni“, a spus Alina Popa, CFO al OMV Petrom, într-o întâlnire cu analiştii. Neptun Deep rămâne în grafic, la fel şi dimensiunea portofoliului de energie verde. OMV Petrom, singurul producător local de petrol şi gaze, îşi va diminua până la finalul lui 2027 numărul de angajaţi la nivel de grup cu circa 10% faţă de efectivul cu care a început acest an. OMV Petrom a raportat venituri con­solidate de 26,8 mi­liarde de lei pentru primele nouă luni din 2025, în uşoară creştere cu 1% faţă de aceeaşi perioadă a anului trecut. În schimb, profitul net s-a redus cu 13%, la 3,4 miliarde de lei, potrivit raportului publicat de companie. Mai multe informații în ZF.

    Is Donald Trump dying, or just decomposing in real time? He's slurring words, disappearing for days, and bragging that he "aced" an IQ test that was actually a dementia screening. Florida Man may be wilding out destroying our White House, but his VP seems to be circling.  It looks like JD Vance is wasting no time trying to lock down the Christian nationalist vote by publicly humiliating his Hindu wife Usha and cuddling up to Charlie Kirk's leather-clad widow.

FIRST HOUR 9-915 Middle East Disorder, Gaza Ceasefire, and Lessons from War Reporting. Bill Roggio and Husain Haqqani address the persistent disorder in the Middle East, noting that the Gaza ceasefire ("hudna") is only a pause. Ambassador Haqqani critiques the flawed concept of pursuing a "war to end all wars," suggesting the world is a situation to endure, not solve permanently. Bill Roggio compares the current stabilization efforts to the failed attempts in Afghanistan following the Taliban's ouster, noting that key players like Hamas remain undefeated or unwilling to disarm. Both experts stress the difficulty of verifying initial reports of mass violence, urging patience and skepticism regarding premature assumptions about perpetrators or motivations. 915-930 Middle East Disorder, Gaza Ceasefire, and Lessons from War Reporting.

David Daoud and Bill Roggio discuss how following the Gaza ceasefire, the process of returning remains of slain hostages remains delayed, which Daoud suggests Hamas uses as leverage to prevent Israel from resuming conflict and entrenching a "post-war mentality." Experts note that Hezbollah is actively regenerating its military capabilities in Lebanon, bypassing disarmament efforts. Despite continuous, targeted Israeli strikes against Hezbollah personnel, there is minimal international condemnation because the organization maintains overwhelming Shiite support and the Lebanese government fails to enforce disarmament. Plans for an international security force in Gaza remain vague. 945-1000 Post-Ceasefire Gaza Hostages and Hezbollah Regeneration in Lebanon.

Malcolm Hoenlein discusses the New York City mayoral election, focusing on the populist rise of candidate Zelldin Maamoun, whose anti-Israel stance and lack of economic knowledge threaten the city's large Israeli-founded tech sector. He reveals that a World Health Organization official admitted that promoting "famine" in Gaza was a deliberate communications and political pressure strategy, despite adequate food supply. Hoenlein confirms that Hezbollah is rearming and refashioning ordnance in Lebanon, forcing Israel's hand. University leaders have begun acknowledging that campus unrest was largely foreign-driven, specifically citing Iran.

Ernesto Araújo and Alejandro Peña Esclusa discuss the unprecedented US military buildup at the former Roosevelt Roads Naval Base in Puerto Rico, interpreted as preparations for action against Venezuela. Peña Esclusa clarifies that the true Venezuelan opposition, led by María Corina Machado (who won 93% of the primary vote), supports US action against the Maduro drug cartel. Araújo asserts that this is viewed regionally as a "crusade against organized crime," not an invasion, and would be welcomed by people tired of instability.

John Hardie and Bill Roggio discuss how Russia has introduced new, longer-range guided glide bombs (like the UMPK and Grom-E1) that utilize cheap kits or purpose-built designs, offering a cost-effective, more survivable standoff weapon to attack critical infrastructure deep inside Ukraine. Meanwhile, the situation in the key logistics hub of Kurakhove is deteriorating, with Russian infantry infiltrating the city, disrupting crucial drone and mortar positions, and threatening to encircle remaining Ukrainian forces. Russia continues to maintain maximalist peace demands, including a ban on Ukraine joining NATO and demilitarization, resulting in the cancellation of proposed peace talks. 1115-1130 Russia's New Glide Bombs and Ukraine's Battlefield Crisis at Kurakhove.

Alan Tonelson discusses a Supreme Court case challenging the president's tariff powers (the "Liberation Day tariffs"), which he expects the administration to win. Tonelson cites historical deference to presidential foreign policy power and the president's authority to use other well-established tariffing measures, calling arguments against his powers "legally ignorant." The conversation also explores Michael Beckley's theory of a "stagnant order" among superpowers, leading them to act parasitically or defensively. Tonelson disagrees with the stagnation premise for the US, anticipating a major productivity boom thanks to artificial intelligence. 1145-1200 Supreme Court, Trade Tariffs, and the Stagnant Order.

FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 AI Revolution, Cloud Growth, and the Virtual Cell. Brandon Weichert reports on how AI is driving massive growth in cloud computing, exemplified by Amazon's surging shares and AWS growth, reaching paces "we haven't seen since 2022." Weichert dismisses fears of an "AI crash" as fear-mongering rooted in ignorance and past market bubbles, arguing that AI is sparking new sectors and enhancing productivity across industries. He details the cutting-edge application of AI in creating a "virtual cell"—computer models that simulate cell functions to speed up drug discovery, understand disease mechanisms, and inform scientific investigation. 1215-1230 Iran's Contradictory Nuclear Signals and Proxy Support. Jonathan Schanzer and Bill Roggio discuss how Iran is sending contradictory messages regarding its nuclear enrichment program and negotiations, with President Pezeshkian ("the dove") threatening to restart enrichment. Schanzer explains that "reformists" like Pezeshkian serve as a calculated front to signal openness while building leverage for future talks. Iran appears willing to risk future strikes, believing it can absorb them. However, Iran's ability to significantly rebuild its air defenses is complicated by the risk of UN snapback sanctions potentially deterring Russia and China from supplying advanced systems. Sanctions relief remains a key factor in Iran's proxy support. 1230-1245 UNIFIL's Failure, Hezbollah's Rebuilding, and Syria's Fragmented Future. Edmund Fitton-Brown, Ahmad Sharawi, and Bill Roggio label the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) a "spectacular failure" that allowed Hezbollah's military buildup near the Israeli border. Despite the ceasefire terms requiring demilitarization south of the Litani River, the Lebanese government is stalling. Hezbollah is actively rebuilding its infrastructure, forcing Israel to conduct targeted enforcement actions. They also discuss Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa, who is seeking international legitimacy, sanctions relief, and partners to counter ISIS, even as his state remains domestically fragmented by regional demands for separation or autonomy. 1245-100 AM UNIFIL's Failure, Hezbollah's Rebuilding, and Syria's Fragmented Future.

    Silicon Bites Ep264 - Day 1,349 - 2025-11-03 | Washington trims forces in NATO's front line member state, causing concern in some quarters, and signalling weakness and withdrawal in the face of a revanchist Russia. This broad geopolitical canvas unfolds as Moscow hammers Ukraine's grid and Kyiv hits back, deep and hard, at Russia's fuel arteries. Drones stalk a base in Belgian thought to host U.S. nukes, China's refiners blink on Russian oil, and Brussels looks for a way to keep Ukraine's accession moving — whether Orbán tries to throw a spanner in the works or not. Is the U.S. easing off Europe's front line?

    1. LONDINIUM 91 CE. Seven Warnings, Part I. Gaius and Germanicus, joined by retired centurions, convened at the Friends of History Debating Society to discuss Germanicus's list of seven maxims detailing how empires, specifically the US, engage in self-harm or self-destruction. Gaius offered the example of the emperor deciding Nigeria needs attention due to the killing of Christians, asserting America has no interest whatsoever in this venture. He contrasted this unnecessary entanglement with Rome's historical method of handling threats in its self-interest. Rome, when it decided to win, completely wiped out resisting enemies, as demonstrated by the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 CE and the earlier obliteration of Sepphoris, the capital of Galilee, around 4 BCE. The Romans even renamed Judea to Palestine to deny the populace their historical identity. Germanicus then presented the first four maxims routinely ignored by US war fighters: (1) Never let a foreign power define your interests and objectives—this warning cited historical entanglement examples, including the British in two World Wars and modern manipulation by Ukraine, NATO countries, and Israel; (2) Never let initial success fool you into thinking you're winning—Germanicus noted that this "victory disease" affected the Japanese after Pearl Harbor and the US during the invasion of Iraq and the initial stages of the Ukraine war; (3) The failure chosen now is always better than the failure forced upon you later—this maxim addresses the destructive "stay the course" mentality, exemplified by the Vietnam War, driven by courtiers worried about reputation rather than effectiveness; (4) Judgment of the enemy should not be confirmed by internal biases—this bias leads to disastrous strategy, such as the initial belief that the Japanese could not fly effectively due to poor eyesight, viewing Pearl Harbor as a "freak."

    President Donald Trump just forced China into its most vulnerable position in decades. Trump wrapped up a weeklong trip to Asia and, after years of tension and economic warfare, negotiated a sweeping deal with Beijing. Victor Davis Hanson breaks down the specifics of the deal—including China's promise to stop the flow of fentanyl to Mexico—how this breakthrough happened, and what this means for the future of U.S.-China relations on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” “ [China] sized up the domestic renaissance here at home—low inflation, basically 3% or below, 3%, probably, at the end of the year of GDP, stock market record levels, vast new investments—and they said: You know what? The United States is back. And the foreign—the atmosphere is very different. “Neutrals will probably join them. And their friends are emboldened. So, they've got new alliances. NATO is stronger than it's ever been. So, you add all of that up and the Chinese said to themselves the following: I think it's time to cut a deal.

In the early 1990s, while serving in Port Alberni, British Columbia, he uncovered evidence of unimaginable atrocities: the systematic abuse, torture, and murder of Indigenous children in church-run residential schools. Rather than remain silent, Kevin spoke out, documenting mass graves and survivor testimonies that revealed a genocidal collusion between church, state, and corporate powers. And this was only the beginning of his fight.Refusing to be silenced, Kevin founded the International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State (ITCCS), a groundbreaking platform to hold the powerful accountable through common law courts. His work has most recently exposed the Ninth Circle, a satanic cult allegedly involving high-ranking figures like Prince Andrew, King Charles, and Vatican officials, including Cardinals Reinhardt Marx and Timothy Dolan. Kevin's revelations are harrowing: children subjected to ritual sacrifices, the Vatican's complicity in MK ULTRA-style programming; and the use of military bases, churches, and even NATO headquarters for Ninth Circle ritual ceremonies. The stakes are high, and the enemy is formidable. Kevin's evidence points to a vast network - church, state, and corporate elites - protected by wealth, power, and a system that thrives on the expendability of children. He reveals how the Vatican and CIA collaborate. He warns of geopolitical maneuvers, such as attempts by Donald Trump and Cardinal Dolan to control Vatican funds, mirroring the forced resignation of Pope Benedict. Yet, amidst this darkness, Kevin sees hope: “You create hope by what you do,” he urges, calling on society to move from spectatorship to action.INTERIM REPORT:https://murderbydecree.com/2025/08/09/interim-report-of-the-special-prosecutor/#page-contentCONNECT WITH KEVIN:Email: angelfire101@protonmail.comPhone: 289-680-8724Websites:-Republic of Kanata: https://republicofkanata.org/-Radio Free Kanata: https://bbsradio.com/radiofreekanata-'Murder by Decree' & other books published by Kevin: https://murderbydecree.com/#books-'Unrepentant' Documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Czej73SfYJcCONNECT WITH THE IMAGINATION:EMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimaginationAll links: https://direct.me/theimaginationpodcastRIFE TECHNOLOGIES:https://realrifetechnology.com/15% Code: 420CZTL METHELENE BLUE:https://cztl.bz?ref=2BzG1Free Shipping Code: IMAGINSupport the show

    Keen On Democracy
    Democracy's Dangerous Flirtation with Autocracy: Michael McFaul on America's Abdication of Global Leadership

    Keen On Democracy

    A former US ambassador to Russia warns of America's slide into autocracyAs American ambassador in Moscow between 2012 and 2014, Michael McFaul had a front row seat on Russia's slide into autocracy. But in his new book, Autocrats vs Democrats, McFaul warns that it's not just Putin, but also Xi and Trump who are fueling the “new global disorder”. And the intended audience for his jeremiad against autocracy is, of course, in the United States, rather than China or Russia. McFaul, who now teaches at Stanford, is warning about democracy's dangerous flirtation with autocracy, especially in the United States. The parallels are chilling. Putin used the law to target enemies, reorganized property rights to silence independent media, and cultivated a patrimonial relationship with supporters who saw him as their protector. Trump, McFaul argues, is following a similar playbook—though America's deeper democratic traditions and more autonomous institutions provide stronger resistance. Yet McFaul sees cause for alarm in Trump's rapid moves to “bulldoze” democratic norms, from weaponizing the Justice Department to attacking press freedom. The question, for Michael McFaul, isn't if America could slide into autocracy, but whether its citizens will recognize the threat before the current flirtation is consummated. 1. Democratic Expansion, Not NATO, Turned Putin Against the West McFaul demolishes the Mearsheimer thesis that NATO expansion provoked Putin. As ambassador, he was in every meeting with Putin and Medvedev for five years—NATO simply wasn't a major issue. What terrified Putin were democratic revolutions: Serbia 2000, Georgia 2003, Ukraine's Orange Revolution 2004, and especially the 2011 protests when a quarter million Russians demanded reform in Moscow. Putin blamed the CIA and saw American-style democracy as an existential threat to his autocratic rule.2. Trump Is Following Putin's Autocratic Playbook—With One Crucial Difference Like Putin, Trump weaponizes the Justice Department against enemies, attacks independent media through property rights reorganization, and moves fast to “bulldoze” democratic norms (making reconstruction nearly impossible). But America has what Russia lacked: deeper democratic traditions going back centuries, autonomous state governments, genuinely independent media, and even a functioning opposition party. McFaul notes Trump's failures—unable to silence critics like Kimmel—suggest democratic antibodies still work, though the threat remains real.3. Xi's Slow Game Is More Dangerous Than Putin's Imperial Aggression Putin exports illiberal nationalism, seeking ideological allies in Europe and America who share his contempt for liberal “decadence.” Xi plays differently: he's not trying to destroy the liberal international order but to increase Chinese power within it while building parallel structures (BRICS, Shanghai Cooperation Organization) where China serves as anchor for an autocratic world. McFaul warns this evolutionary approach may prove more dangerous precisely because it's less visible than Putin's tanks rolling into Ukraine.4. America's Fatal Post-Cold War Mistake: We Stopped Selling Democracy to Americans The West assumed democracy was inevitable after 1991 and stopped doing the hard work. Political elites in both parties said “we got this” and stopped explaining to middle America why global engagement, free trade, and democracy promotion serve national interests. This created a vacuum Trump filled with isolationism. McFaul argues the book is written not for Cambridge and Palo Alto, but for the entire country—an attempt to restart that abandoned conversation.5. The Choice: Lead the Free World Collectively or Watch Dictators Dominate America will never regain the hegemonic power it held after World War II, and attempting unilateral dominance risks dangerous overreach that pushes wavering democracies toward China. But if democracies unite, they collectively have more economic and military power than China and its autocratic allies. The alternative to collective democratic leadership isn't Chinese hegemony—it's anarchic disorder where the powerful do what they can, a return to the chaotic map of European history where borders constantly shifted and weak states got swallowed. If democracies fail to organize, dictators will dominate the 21st century.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

We met in Tallinn on the eve of the Software Defined Space Conference to explore how Estonia, in collaboration with the European Space Agency, is helping define the future of space cybersecurity through the world's first Space Cyber Range. The story begins unexpectedly—with a childhood memory of marmalade in a tube, the same kind sent to Soviet astronauts in orbit. For Aare Reintam, that small detail became the first spark of fascination with space, one that decades later evolved into CybExer's partnership with ESA. Together they've created a digital testing environment where satellites, ground stations, and communication protocols can be stress-tested for cyber resilience long before launch.  It's a bold move in an era when satellites underpin everything from GPS and precision farming to air travel and climate observation, yet often rely on decades-old technology vulnerable to attack. Kristiina Omri explains how the Space Cyber Range replicates real-world missions, allowing engineers and analysts to train under simulated attack conditions that feel indistinguishable from their actual control systems. The range combines the precision of digital twins with the competitive intensity of cyber exercises, preparing teams for threats that can ripple from orbit to everyday life on Earth. The conversation covers everything from the growing space-debris crisis to the global shortage of cybersecurity professionals, and the urgent need to blend space engineering with cyber education. We also discuss the deeper strategic implications. What happens when quantum computing enters the battlefield? How should Europe prepare for the convergence of cyber and kinetic threats in orbit? And what lessons can be learned from Estonia's leadership in NATO cyber defense as it extends that expertise to the stars? By the end of the discussion, one theme stands out clearly: the future of cybersecurity is no longer confined to our planet. From digital twins to orbital trust networks, CybExer Technologies and the European Space Agency are proving that the next frontier for cyber readiness lies in space itself.
