While the military situation in Ukraine continues apace, with grinding Russian assaults gaining ground daily, but at a reduced pace and increasing rate of casualties, the diplomatic situation is changing rapidly. A flurry of US diplomatic activity aimed at ending the war has unnerved Ukrainians and America's allies, who fear the US is preparing to cut a deal with Russia over their heads. This activity includes a bilateral meeting between the US and Russia in Saudi Arabia that excluded America's NATO Allies and Ukraine itself, a series of confusing and contradictory statements from US officials, and an escalating war of words between the US and Ukrainian presidents. To help us make sense of both the military and political situations, Konrad Muzyka, who recently returned from Ukraine, joins Bob Hamilton on this episode of Chain Reaction.For more military analysis of the Russian invasion of Ukraine check out Konrad's Ukraine Conflict Monitor.This episode was recorded on February 20, 2025.

On the GZERO World Podcast, we're bringing you two starkly different views on Ukraine's future and European security. First, Ian Bremmer speaks with Latvian Foreign Minister Baiba Braže about the growing security threats facing the Baltics—from cyberattacks and disinformation to undersea sabotage in the Baltic Sea. When an oil tanker linked to Russia's shadow fleet recently severed a vital power cable between Estonia and Finland, it was a stark reminder of how hybrid warfare is playing out beyond the battlefield. Braže warns that Putin's ambitions extend far beyond Ukraine, aiming to weaken US alliances and destabilize Europe. She also pushes back against claims that Ukraine's NATO ambitions provoked the war, calling them “complete nonsense,” and outlines why Latvia is boosting its defense spending to 5% of GDP.The conversation then shifts to Moscow, where Bremmer speaks with former Russian colonel and ex-Carnegie Moscow Center director Dmitri Trenin. Once considered a pro-Western voice, Trenin's views now align closely with the Kremlin. He argues that the fate of Ukraine should be decided primarily by Russia and the United States—not Ukraine or Europe.Host: Ian BremmerGuest: Baiba Braže & Dmitri Trenin Subscribe to the GZERO World with Ian Bremmer Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred podcast platform, to receive new episodes as soon as they're published.

Three years into the invasion of Ukraine, and amid the Trump administration's rapid shift in US-Russia relations, can European and NATO allies continue to rely on the United States for support? On the GZERO World Podcast, Ian Bremmer is on the ground in Germany on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference for a hard look at the future of European security with US Senator Elissa Slotkin. World leaders and diplomats gathered at the annual conference to discuss global security challenges, but the biggest story, by far, in Munich was the news of President Trump's 90-minute phone call with Vladimir Putin, which upended three years of US-led efforts to isolate Russia diplomatically. The Trump administration is emphatic: it wants an end to the war and that Europe is responsible for maintaining peace in any ceasefire deal. But can Europe guarantee Ukraine's security without US support? Later in the episode, GZERO's Tony Maciulis speaks with Alina Polyakova, President and CEO of the Center for European Policy Analysis, to discuss the reaction to the Trump-Putin call and growing fears that NATO allies will be left on the sidelines of peace negotiations in Ukraine.Host: Ian BremmerGuest: Elissa Slotkin Subscribe to the GZERO World with Ian Bremmer Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred podcast platform, to receive new episodes as soon as they're published.

On this episode of the podcast, Amanda Head welcomes Victoria Coates, former Deputy National Security Advisor under President Trump's and current Vice President of the Kathryn and Shelby Cullom Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at the Heritage Foundation. Coates offers her unique insights into President Trump's strategy for resolving the Ukraine conflict, including his readiness to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin to negotiate peace while protecting Ukraine's sovereignty. She also emphasizes the importance of NATO allies meeting their financial commitments and critiques the Biden Administration's approach to China. Showcasing her art history expertise, Dr. Coates delves into the devastating impact of the Los Angeles fires on historical treasures and highlights how modern museums in the West are designed to withstand natural disasters like wildfires and earthquakes.

In his first press conference following the elections, the United Kingdom's new Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer stressed the UK's “unshakable” commitment to NATO and that his government's “first duty” must be security and defence. As part of this commitment, a significant focus should be placed on securing Britain's and other NATO Allies' digital supply chains against stepped up cyber attacks by threat actors determined to breach our critical national infrastructure.

Modern, well-functioning, agile and responsive militaries rely on personnel with an eclectic range of skills and attributes. This, by definition, requires a diverse workforce. Militaries are historically predominantly male, but across NATO, Allied forces are looking to recruit and retain more women in their ranks. Women still only occupy an average of 9 to 16% of roles across NATO Allies, and shocking reporting in mainstream media of military rape cultures and rife sexual violence may detrimentally impact the future recruitment and retention of women in militaries.

The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail.Alright, you curious, you courageous Herle Burly-ites … welcome to the pod!On the heels of the NATO Summit in Washington, I want to do some real talk on Canada's stated commitment and the Prime Minister's comments at the Summit. In the context of an increasingly volatile world, 23 of 32 NATO Allies are currently meeting the 2% of GDP military investment threshold. Canada is not one of them.But, by 2032, Trudeau says the government “hopes to reach the target”. By spending on new capabilities like submarines, which have yet to be costed or approved. So, what does this all mean, exactly? And how best should we be spending our 2%?With me to have that discussion is Dr. David Perry, President of the Canadian Global Affairs Institute, a non-partisan, independent think tank. He's the author of multiple publications on defence budgeting, transformation and procurement, and a columnist for the Canadian Naval Review. His PhD in political science came from Carleton University and he's an adjunct professor at the Centre for Military and Strategic Studies at the University of Calgary, as well as a research fellow of the Centre for the Study of Security and Development at Dalhousie University.Thank you for joining us on #TheHerleBurly podcast.

AP correspondent Ben Thomas reports a record number of NATO allies are hitting their defense spending target during war in Ukraine.

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports a record number of NATO allies are expected to reach the alliance's recommended defense funding amid the war in Ukraine.

Russia's illegal war of aggression against Ukraine has shattered peace in Europe. NATO's Strategic doctrine states that Russia is the most significant and direct threat to Euro-Atlantic security, peace, and stability. It's clear Russia wants to establish spheres of influence and control other countries through coercion, subversion, aggression, and annexation. We can now see clearly that Russia uses conventional, cyber and hybrid means – including disinformation – against NATO Allies and partners. But it also deploys an array of illegal tactics against Ukraine – targeting civilian infrastructure, energy, agricultural, food and the economy and ecology, cultural targets, and civilian dwellings, uses rape, torture, and terror, and latterly strikes against first responders, massive glide bombs and chemical weapons. NATO says it does not seek confrontation and poses no threat to Russia, but that may be part of the problem. Russia commits crimes on this scale because no one, apart from Ukraine, has shown the will to stop them, or pose a significant threat to Russia's ambitions or Putin's regime. ---------- Sten Rynning is Director of the Danish Institute for Advanced Study.

Emmanuel Macron has turned heads at a hastily organised summit for Ukraine. The French president for the first time evoked the possibility of Western troops to thwart a Russian victory – one option among many. Macron himself acknowledged that opinions vary. In other words, he's very much in the minority. But with US aid lost in the gridlock of an election year, Europeans – including the UK – are showing a newfound sense of urgency as they watch the Ukrainians run low on manpower and ammunition. We ask how far this continent can go and about public opinion that's solidly behind Ukraine but wary of mission creep.We also ask whether we're talking about the same Macron who used to pride himself as the leader who can talk to Vladimir Putin. Finally, we examine Russia's reaction. Moscow has always backed Macron's main rival, the far-right's Marine Le Pen.Produced by Charles Wente, Guillaume Gougeon and Imen Mellaz. 

Trump triggers the left over NATO members' failure to pay their fair share for their defense. Once again, the globalists are alarmed that President Trump would dare to challenge NATO members to step up once he resumes office in January 2025. Not only have most of them failed to maintain defense spending at 2% of their GDP, but they depend on the U.S. to fund NATO's operations as well. The U.S. has $34 trillion in debt largely because we pay for Europe's protection since the Cold War. What a racket. Erik and Mark say it's time for a correction with the NATO alliance and only Donald Trump will deliver it.

Disgraced former President Donald Trump again said on Wednesday that if he returns to the White House, he would not defend NATO members that don't meet defense spending targets, days after he set off alarms in Europe by suggesting he would tell Russia to attack NATO allies he considered delinquent. Speaking at a campaign rally in South Carolina, he retold the story of his alleged conversation with the head of a NATO member country that had not met its obligations. This time, though, he left out the line that drew the most outrage — encouraging Russia “to do whatever the hell they want.” Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkbwLFZhawBqK2b9gW08z3g/join Five Minute News with Anthony Davis is an Evergreen Podcast, covering politics, inequality, health and climate - delivering independent, unbiased and essential news for the US and across the world.

Former President Trump said this week that he would not defend a NATO country that hasn't paid the 2% of their GDP that they owe. His words were that Russia should "do whatever the hell they want." KSL Newsradio's Amanda Dickson asked her guests on A Woman's View whether that was traitorous or tough love or something else. Her guests this week include Susan Madsen, Founder and Director of the Utah Women and Leadership Project, Ginette Bott, President and CEO of the Utah Food Bank, and Luz Lewis Perez, the Director of Development for the Kidney Foundation for Utah and Idaho.

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReiOut with Donald Trump's "unhinged" NATO threat to allow Putin to do whatever he wants to our allies as the U.S. stands by and does nothing, while seemingly promising to appease Putin on the issue of Ukraine. Also, we cover how Trump has formally asked the Supreme Court to put a hold on last week's ruling finding that he does not have presidential immunity from criminal prosecution as he meets with his sympathetic Florida judge in his stolen classified documents case. Plus, just like "the deep state" planned it, Taylor Swift's boyfriend and a few of his friends have won the Super Bowl, as Donald Trump tries to take credit for Swift's wildly successful music career. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

The guest host for today's show is Brad Bannon. Brad runs Bannon Communications Research, a polling, message development and media firm which helps labor unions, progressive issue groups and Democratic candidates win public affairs and political campaigns. His show, 'Deadline D.C. with Brad Bannon,' airs every Monday from 3-4pm ET. Brad is joined by Sarah Jones, Editor in Chief, for PoliticusUSA, to help make the transition from the football season that culminated, in Super Bowl 53, to the political season, that ends on November 5th. They also discuss special prosecutor Robert Hur, a Trump holdover, who cleared President Biden of any wrongdoing with the handling of classified documents, but released a report that was critical of Biden's memory. On that same topic, Sarah and Brad explore what's going on with U.S. political media, why they're taking the bait in letting Trump's attacks set the narrative, and whether they've learned anything since Trump's first run in 2016. Sarah also explains why she's exceptionally disturbed by the media's obsession about President Biden's age without the context that he is functioning well as a president. Then, CNN military analyst Col. Cedric Leighton (USAF Ret.) joins Brad to examine the world at war in Gaza and Ukraine. This includes a discussion about Trump's latest comments attacking NATO, and giving Putin a free pass. The website for PoliticusUSA is www.PoliticusUSA.com and their X handle is @PoliticusUSA.

Donald Trump's emergency appeal to the Supreme Court could be his best and last shot to quash his trial until after the election. His argument to the justices is that without absolute immunity from criminal prosecution, the presidency, as we know it, would cease to exist. Plus, shockwaves from Washington to Warsaw tonight as the former president is deriding a 75-year-old security alliance with U.S. allies. Instead, Trump says Russia can do whatever the hell it wants. Our guest tonight knows firsthand just how close he came to pulling out of NATO before. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Officers, ladies and gentlemen of the National Press Club and, as of a very short time ago, fellow members:Back in April while in the hospital I had, as you can readily understand, a lot of time for reflection. And one day I decided to send a personal, handwritten letter to Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev reminding him that we had met about 10 years ago in San Clemente, California, as he and President Nixon were concluding a series of meetings that had brought hope to all the world. Never had peace and good will seemed closer at hand.I'd like to read you a few paragraphs from that letter. “Mr. President: When we met, I asked if you were aware that the hopes and aspirations of millions of people throughout the world were dependent on the decisions that would be reached in those meetings. You took my hand in both of yours and assured me that you were aware of that and that you were dedicated with all your heart and soul and mind to fulfilling those hopes and dreams.”I went on in my letter to say: “The people of the world still share that hope. Indeed, the peoples of the world, despite differences in racial and ethnic origin, have very much in common. They want the dignity of having some control over their individual lives, their destiny. They want to work at the craft or trade of their own choosing and to be fairly rewarded. They want to raise their families in peace without harming anyone or suffering harm themselves. Government exists for their convenience, not the other way around.“If they are incapable, as some would have us believe, of self-government, then where among them do we find any who are capable of governing others?“Is it possible that we have permitted ideology, political and economic philosophies, and governmental policies to keep us from considering the very real, everyday problems of our peoples? Will the average Soviet family be better off or even aware that the Soviet Union has imposed a government of its own choice on the people of Afghanistan? Is life better for the people of Cuba because the Cuban military dictate who shall govern the people of Angola?“It is often implied that such things have been made necessary because of territorial ambitions of the United States; that we have imperialistic designs, and thus constitute a threat to your own security and that of the newly emerging nations. Not only is there no evidence to support such a charge, there is solid evidence that the United States, when it could have dominated the world with no risk to itself, made no effort whatsoever to do so.“When World War II ended, the United States had the only undamaged industrial power in the world. Our military might was at its peak, and we alone had the ultimate weapon, the nuclear weapon, with the unquestioned ability to deliver it anywhere in the world. If we had sought world domination then, who could have opposed us?“But the United States followed a different course, one unique in all the history of mankind. We used our power and wealth to rebuild the war-ravished economies of the world, including those of the nations who had been our enemies. May I say, there is absolutely no substance to charges that the United States is guilty of imperialism or attempts to impose its will on other countries, by use of force.”I continued my letter by saying—or concluded my letter, I should say—by saying, “Mr. President, should we not be concerned with eliminating the obstacles which prevent our people, those you and I represent, from achieving their most cherished goals?”Well, it's in the same spirit that I want to speak today to this audience and the people of the world about America's program for peace and the coming negotiations which begin November 30th in Geneva, Switzerland. Specifically, I want to present our program for preserving peace in Europe and our wider program for arms control.Twice in my lifetime, I have seen the peoples of Europe plunged into the tragedy of war. Twice in my lifetime, Europe has suffered destruction and military occupation in wars that statesmen proved powerless to prevent, soldiers unable to contain, and ordinary citizens unable to escape. And twice in my lifetime, young Americans have bled their lives into the soil of those battlefields not to enrich or enlarge our domain, but to restore the peace and independence of our friends and Allies.All of us who lived through those troubled times share a common resolve that they must never come again. And most of us share a common appreciation of the Atlantic Alliance that has made a peaceful, free, and prosperous Western Europe in the post-war era possible.But today, a new generation is emerging on both sides of the Atlantic. Its members were not present at the creation of the North Atlantic Alliance. Many of them don't fully understand its roots in defending freedom and rebuilding a war-torn continent. Some young people question why we need weapons, particularly nuclear weapons, to deter war and to assure peaceful development. They fear that the accumulation of weapons itself may lead to conflagration. Some even propose unilateral disarmament.I understand their concerns. Their questions deserve to be answered. But we have an obligation to answer their questions on the basis of judgment and reason and experience. Our policies have resulted in the longest European peace in this century. Wouldn't a rash departure from these policies, as some now suggest, endanger that peace?From its founding, the Atlantic Alliance has preserved the peace through unity, deterrence, and dialog. First, we and our Allies have stood united by the firm commitment that an attack upon any one of us would be considered an attack upon us all. Second, we and our Allies have deterred aggression by maintaining forces strong enough to ensure that any aggressor would lose more from an attack than he could possibly gain. And third, we and our Allies have engaged the Soviets in a dialog about mutual restraint and arms limitations, hoping to reduce the risk of war and the burden of armaments and to lower the barriers that divide East from West.These three elements of our policy have preserved the peace in Europe for more than a third of a century. They can preserve it for generations to come, so long as we pursue them with sufficient will and vigor.Today, I wish to reaffirm America's commitment to the Atlantic Alliance and our resolve to sustain the peace. And from my conversations with allied leaders, I know that they also remain true to this tried and proven course.NATO's policy of peace is based on restraint and balance. No NATO weapons, conventional or nuclear, will ever be used in Europe except in response to attack. NATO's defense plans have been responsible and restrained. The Allies remain strong, united, and resolute. But the momentum of the continuing Soviet military buildup threatens both the conventional and the nuclear balance.Consider the facts. Over the past decade, the United States reduced the size of its Armed Forces and decreased its military spending. The Soviets steadily increased the number of men under arms. They now number more than double those of the United States. Over the same period, the Soviets expanded their real military spending by about one-third. The Soviet Union increased its inventory of tanks to some 50,000, compared to our 11,000. Historically a land power, they transformed their navy from a coastal defense force to an open ocean fleet, while the United States, a sea power with transoceanic alliances, cut its fleet in half.During a period when NATO deployed no new intermediate-range nuclear missiles and actually withdrew 1,000 nuclear warheads, the Soviet Union deployed more than 750 nuclear warheads on the new SS20 missiles alone.Our response to this relentless buildup of Soviet military power has been restrained but firm. We have made decisions to strengthen all three legs of the strategic triad: sea-, land-, and air-based. We have proposed a defense program in the United States for the next 5 years which will remedy the neglect of the past decade and restore the eroding balance on which our security depends.I would like to discuss more specifically the growing threat to Western Europe which is posed by the continuing deployment of certain Soviet intermediate-range nuclear missiles. The Soviet Union has three different type such missile systems: the SS20, the SS-4, and the SS-5, all with the range capable of reaching virtually all of Western Europe. There are other Soviet weapon systems which also represent a major threat.Now, the only answer to these systems is a comparable threat to Soviet threats, to Soviet targets; in other words, a deterrent preventing the use of these Soviet weapons by the counterthreat of a like response against their own territory. At present, however, there is no equivalent deterrent to these Soviet intermediate missiles. And the Soviets continue to add one new SS-20 a week.To counter this, the Allies agreed in 1979, as part of a two-track decision, to deploy as a deterrent land-based cruise missiles and Pershing II missiles capable of reaching targets in the Soviet Union. These missiles are to be deployed in several countries of Western Europe. This relatively limited force in no way serves as a substitute for the much larger strategic umbrella spread over our NATO Allies. Rather, it provides a vital link between conventional shorter-range nuclear forces in Europe and intercontinental forces in the United States.Deployment of these systems will demonstrate to the Soviet Union that this link cannot be broken. Deterring war depends on the perceived ability of our forces to perform effectively. The more effective our forces are, the less likely it is that we'll have to use them. So, we and our allies are proceeding to modernize NATO's nuclear forces of intermediate range to meet increased Soviet deployments of nuclea

The World Economic Forum and Climate Alarmists' war on the global food supply marches on in lockstep as world elites try their best to re-shape the world into their own image and under their control. At this point, with the demands to cut farm food production and demonize the fuel which provides the energy to do so by blaming the new boogeyman - "Nitrogen," the Great Reset movement is back in full swing with a new component: population control through causing a famine.

The one where we talk about the somewhat anticlimactic indictment of Donald Trump, Adam Nettina's violent threats, and some of the developments in Russia's War Of Choice in Ukraine. Here are some of the sources and references that we used to create this episode:Trump judge and his family receive threats after New York arrestIn the 24 hours since former President Donald Trump's arraignment, the presiding judge and his family have received multiple threats, two sources familiar with the matter said.One official said “dozens” of threats have recently been directed at Judge Juan Merchanand his chambers but did not give an exact time frame for them.The other source said Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and other top officials in his office continue to receive threats. The threats have been in the form of calls, emails and letters.Maryland man threatened to 'slaughter' LGBTQ+ people after Covenant School shooting, DOJ saysAccording to an affidavit, on the morning of March 28, Nettina left a threatening voice mail at the D.C. office of the Human Rights Campaign, the largest LGBTQ+ civil rights organization in the United States. The call came just one day after six people, including three children, were killed in a shooting at The Covenant School – a private Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee. Evan Gershkovich Loved Russia, the Country That Turned on Him. Mr. Gershkovich, 31 years old, is the American son of Soviet-born Jewish exiles who had settled in New Jersey. He fell in love with Russia—its language, the people he chatted with for hours in regional capitals, the punk bands he hung out with at Moscow dive bars. Now, espionage charges leave him facing a possible prison sentence of up to 20 years. His employer, colleagues and the Biden administration all deny Russia's claimthat he was spying on behalf of the U.S., and have called for his immediate release. Diplomats and legal experts see little hope Mr. Gershkovich, a reporter accredited by the Russian foreign ministry, will immediately be freed, given that espionage trials in Russia are conducted in secret and almost always end in a conviction.Finland joins NATO as 31st AllyFinland became NATO's newest member today (4 April 2023), upon depositing its instrument of accession to the North Atlantic Treaty with the United States at NATO Headquarters in Brussels. NATO Allies signed Finland's Accession Protocol on 5 July 2022, after which all 30 national parliaments voted to ratify the country's membership. Speaking ahead of the ceremony, the Secretary General thanked President Niinistö for his outstanding leadership and for leading Finland into the most successful Alliance in history. “I am deeply proud to welcome Finland as a full-fledged member of our Alliance and I look forward to also welcoming Sweden as soon as possible,” he said. “Joining NATO is good for Finland, it is good for Nordic security and it is good for NATO as a whole,” he added. The Secretary General also noted that Finland's accession shows the world that President Putin failed to “slam NATO's door shut.” “Instead of less NATO, he has achieved the opposite; more NATO and our door remains firmly open,” he said. Putin has gone crazy' says his defected security officerPutin has 'gone crazy' according to one of highest ranking Russian security service officers who defected in 2022, Marc Bennetts tells Times Radio.‘He's a war criminal': Elite Putin security officer defects On Oct. 14, a Russian engineer named Gleb Karakulov boarded a flight from Kazakhstan to Turkey with his wife and daughter. He switched off his phone to shut out the crescendo of urgent, enraged messages, said goodbye to his life in Russia and tried to calm his fast-beating heart.But this was no ordinary Russian defector. Karakulov was an officer in President Vladimir Putin's secretive elite personal security service — one of the few Russians to flee and go public who have rank, as well as knowledge of intimate details of Putin's life and potentially classified information.Karakulov, who was responsible for secure communications, said moral opposition to Russia's invasion of Ukraine and his fear of dying there drove him to speak out, despite the risks to himself and his family. He said he hoped to inspire other Russians to speak out also.“Our president has become a war criminal,” he said. “It is time to end this war and stop being silent.”Bill Clinton says he feels 'terrible' for pushing a 1994 agreement with Russia that resulted in Ukraine giving up its nuclear weaponsFormer US President Bill Clinton said that he regrets pressuring Ukraine to give up its nuclear warheads in a high-stakes negotiation in 1994. In an interview with Irish news service RTÉ released on Tuesday,Clinton said that he felt a "personal stake" in Ukraine's fragile territorial integrity. He said he believed that Russia would not have invaded Ukraine in 2014, and in 2022, had the weapons still been in the country — a position that a Soviet historian echoed to Insider."I feel a personal stake because I got them [Ukraine] to agree to give up their nuclear weapons," Clinton said. "And none of them believe that Russia would have pulled this stunt if Ukraine still had their weapons."This is our current events recap program, where we offer our takes on what's going on at the bleeding edge of the information war.

A Union Pacific coal train derailed in Nebraska on Feb. 21. It was the third major derailment in the Midwest in less than a month. Meanwhile, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ordered Norfolk Southern to handle and pay for all necessary cleanup after its train carrying toxic chemicals derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, more than two weeks ago. Speaking in Poland, President Joe Biden vowed to maintain U.S. support for Ukraine. His remarks came shortly after President Vladimir Putin announced that Russia was suspending its participation in the New START treaty with the United States that limits the two sides' strategic nuclear arsenals. The Supreme Court heard its first case on Section 230, which protects tech companies from liability for content posted by third parties. The decision on the case could make major changes across the internet. ⭕️ Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV
