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.

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.

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

Chuck Todd begins by reacting to the senate passing Trump's signature piece of legislation: “The Big Beautiful Bill.” He reviews the excuses and rationales given by the senators who had expressed issues with the bill but still voted for it, and explains why the fear of Donald Trump's wrath is enough to get lawmakers to fall in line and explains why the bill's passage is emblematic of the broken state of Congress.Then, Chuck is joined by political scientist and Eurasia Group president Ian Bremmer to dissect the most pressing geopolitical challenges facing the world today. The discussion begins with analysis of recent Iranian strikes and the Middle East conflict, exploring whether Iran has been exposed as a "paper tiger" and examining the complex dynamics between Trump, Netanyahu, and regional powers like Saudi Arabia. Bremmer offers insights into Iran's domestic vulnerabilities—noting the regime's mere 20% public support—while assessing the likelihood of nuclear developments and potential exit strategies from current conflicts.The conversation expands to cover Trump's relationship with NATO allies, the slowly deteriorating situation in Ukraine, and Putin's potential next moves, including the concerning possibility of nuclear escalation if his regime faces existential threats. Bremmer and Todd also tackle the rise of populist movements globally, the erosion of democratic guardrails in America, and the fundamental shift toward reactionary politics that may define a generation. Throughout, Bremmer provides his characteristic blend of realpolitik analysis and concern for democratic institutions, culminating in a sobering assessment of how America's political system now rewards winners over leaders and creates conditions where "socialists can't beat capitalists, but they can beat kleptocrats."Finally, he answers listeners' questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment regarding the potential for erosion of Trump's support, election denialism and a fun alternate history theory where legendary Bears coach Mike Ditka beat Barack Obama for state office in Illinois.Timeline:(Timestamps may vary based on advertisements)00:00 Introduction00:15 90 days from Liberation Day and “90 deals in 90 days”, there are two deals01:30 Trump will back off on tariffs again to avoid economic damage02:30 The Big Beautiful Bill passes the Senate04:15 Josh Hawley votes for bill despite promises not to cut health care06:00 Lisa Murkowski cites tax break expiration for her yes vote08:15 Murkowski has always been Alaska first over America first09:30 Republicans fall in line out of fear of Trump11:00 Congress is broken 13:00 Bipartisanship is dead in the 21st century14:30 Both parties have weaponized partisanship16:15 How do we fix the broken congress?17:30 The public needs to understand WHY congress is broken19:00 Independents could force congress to function better21:00 Bill was rushed due to Trump's impatience22:30 We're in the kleptocracy stage, headed toward authoritarianism24:00 Dysfunction in congress has created a more powerful presidency26:00 Ian Bremmer joins the Chuck ToddCast! 28:00 Media cycle has already moved on from the Iran strike 29:15 The strike wasn't meant to be a war 30:15 Steve Bannon's theory that we're on the brink of WW3 31:45 Trump wanted a negotiated settlement with Iran 33:00 Netanyahu was always going to force the US's hand 34:30 Trump is capable of telling Bibi "no" 36:15 Would Trump support a two state solution? 38:30 Iran has no friends on the global stage willing to support them 40:15 After investigators access Gaza, Israel will lose support 41:45 Saudis will demand a two state solution 43:15 Did we expose Iran as a "paper tiger"? 45:30 The Iranian regime only has 20% support from the public 46:30 Iran's strong enough to put down an uprising 47:30 The U.S. won't put boots on the ground in Iran 49:00 What is Iran's exit strategy from this conflict? 52:00 Iran is likely 3 years away from a bomb 53:15 Iran may be a theocracy, but doesn't act irrationally 54:45 The state of Iraq's leadership? 56:15 Is there global investment in Iraq? 57:15 Status of Trump + NATO? 59:30 Europe underinvested in defense for decades 1:01:15 Pushing Europe to spend more on defense is one of Trump's best achievements 1:02:00 Status of Russia/Ukraine war? 1:03:00 Ukraine is losing slowly 1:04:15 Chances Putin would attack one of the Baltic states? 1:06:15 Putin could use a nuke if he felt his regime was at risk 1:08:15 The rise of left wing populism 1:10:00 American elections will be free and fair, but public won't think so 1:12:00 Guardrails on the executive branch have been weakened 1:13:15 Are we stuck with reactionary politics for a generation? 1:14:45 Trump didn't attend funeral for assassinated Minnesota lawmakers 1:15:45 The U.S. doesn't create leaders, it creates winners 1:18:30 The lack of bipartisanship creates bad legislation 1:19:45 The Big Beautiful Bill will create more Mamdanis 1:20:45 Socialists can't beat capitalists, but they can beat kleptocrats1:23:30 Thoughts on conversation with Ian Bremmer 1:24:00 Mamdani beat Cuomo by double digits in final tally 1:25:30 There will be a fight for the soul of the Democratic party 1:26:15 Ask Chuck 1:26:30 Could Trump's support erode like Marion Barry's? 1:30:30 Election denialism now coming from both sides regularly? 1:36:30 How different would things look if Mike Ditka had beat Obama in Illinois?

Poté, co se Česko na summitu NATO v Haagu zavázalo, že stejně jako ostatní členské státy do roku 2035 navýší výdaje na obranu na 5% HDP, ministr financí Zbyněk Stanjura z ODS o víkendu České televizi řekl, že je v příštím roce potřeba počítat s prohloubením rozpočtového schodku. Dalším důvodem je i stavba nových bloků jaderné elektrárny Dukovany. Deficit státního rozpočtu by tak v roce 2026 mohl dosáhnout 280 miliard korun. Faktem ale je, že vládní ani opoziční strany nepřichází s konkrétními návrhy, kde peníze na růst obranných výdajů vzít. Lidé by tak raději měli v dalších letech počítat se zvýšením daní bez ohledu na to, kdo bude zrovna u moci. Jaké má ale stát možnosti? A co by konkrétně v Česku mohlo být součástí oněch pěti procent hrubého domácího produktu? I o tom ve Výtahu Respektu mluví Filip Zelenka.

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?

Let's talk about Trump's win, NATO, and Monkey Paws....

This past week, President Donald J. Trump scored a series of triumphant wins—each one dismantling the left’s attacks and reaffirming America First dominance. Legal Hammer Down – The Supreme Court’s landmark 6–3 ruling strips activist judges of the power to issue nationwide injunctions, cementing presidential immunity and delivering a knockout to the left’s lawfare tactics. NATO Wake-Up Call – Thanks to Trump’s pressure, NATO nations agreed to raise defense spending to 5% of GDP—a historic game-changer. Europe is finally paying its fair share. Iran on the Ropes – Trump ordered precision strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities—Operation Midnight Hammer—and pushed for peace through strength. Tehran is on the back foot and forced into indirect talks. Bill Bulldozes Senate – The “Great, Big, Beautiful Bill” blasted through a 51–49 procedural vote, advancing sweeping tax cuts, military funding, and border security measures. The Senate is set to make a final vote on the bill today (Monday) Markets Skyrocket – With Trump back in command, stocks are roaring—investor confidence has surged on his America‑First economic agenda. Border Lockdown – The new house‑and‑security measures are in motion, and illegal crossings are falling—Trump’s blueprint is working again. Tune in to Stinchfield this week as we expose the mainstream meltdown, unveil how Trump crushed every obstacle, and explain why this is a crushing week of victories for American strength.

What if the next virus isn't natural, but deliberately engineered and used as a weapon? As geopolitical tensions rise and biological threats become more complex, health security and life sciences are emerging as critical pillars of national defense.In the special edition episode from our new series, “The Ripple Effect: Investing in Life Sciences”, host Dan Riskin is joined by two leading voices at the intersection of biotechnology and defense: Dawn Meyerriecks, former CIA Deputy Director for Science and Technology and current member of the National Security Commission on Emerging Biotechnology, and Jason Kelly, co-founder and CEO of Ginkgo Bioworks. Together, they explore the dual-use nature of biotechnology and the urgent need for international oversight, genetic attribution standards, and robust viral surveillance. From pandemic preparedness and fragile supply chains to AI-driven lab automation and airport biosurveillance, their conversation highlights how life science innovation strengthens national resilience and strategic defense.This timely conversation follows the June 25th, 2025 Hague Summit Declaration, where NATO allies pledged to invest 5% of GDP in defense by 2035—including up to 1.5% on resilience and innovation to safeguard critical infrastructure, civil preparedness, networks, and the defense industrial base. This limited series, produced by GZERO's Blue Circle Studios in partnership with Novartis, examines how life science innovation plays a vital role in fulfilling that commitment.

The leaders of NATO met in The Hague on June 25th for a rather truncated meeting with a limited agenda. Unlike recent NATO summits, this one did not focus much on the war in Ukraine, countering China, or other broad international security concerns. Rather, this meeting was dedicated to securing a commitment by most NATO members to double their defense spending from 2.5% to 5% of member states' GDP. This is a massive increase with profound implications for both European security and, according to my guest today, European society as a whole. Zachary Paikin is a research fellow at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft. We kick off by discussing why Ukraine was not on the agenda and the odd comportment of NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, before having a broader conversation about what this summit says about the future of Europe and transatlantic relations.    

SummaryIn this episode, Clayton Cuteri explores significant global events, including the Israel-Hamas conflict, NATO's defense spending commitments, and the Rwanda-Congo peace deal. He delves into the implications of these events on international relations and the humanitarian crises they create, while also reflecting on the need for strong leadership to address these complex issues.Clayton's Social MediaLinkTree | TikTok | Instagram | Twitter (X) | YouTubeTimecodes00:00 - Intro00:35 - Israel-Hamas Conflict and Civilian Casualties06:05 - Netanyahu's Legal Troubles and Political Landscape12:58 - NATO Summit and Defense Spending Commitments16:49 - Rwanda-Congo Peace Deal and Historical ContextIntro/Outro Music Producer: Don KinIG: https://www.instagram.com/donkinmusic/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/44QKqKsd81oJEBKffwdFfPSuper grateful for this guy ^Send Clayton a text message!Support the showNEWSLETTER - SIGN UP HERE

In this broadcast, the hosts reflect on an extraordinary week in the Trump presidency and American history, defying mainstream media predictions of disaster. From easing tensions with Iran and stabilizing oil prices to record highs in the stock market, progress on trade deals, and major policy wins—including NATO defense funding and Supreme Court rulings—the show highlights how forecasts of economic collapse and geopolitical crisis failed to materialize. They also discuss media bias, the impact of tariffs, corporate moves back to the U.S., and the continuing transformation of policy and culture under the Trump administration.

In back-to-back broadcasts, the hosts chronicle a remarkable stretch of wins for President Trump that defied nearly every media forecast of economic collapse and geopolitical crisis. They detail how expert predictions of skyrocketing oil prices, market crashes, and World War III never materialized—instead giving way to historic achievements: a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, record stock market highs, falling gas prices, NATO funding commitments, and peace deals in Africa. The second segment highlights the Supreme Court's landmark decision ending nationwide injunctions, restoring presidential authority over immigration policy, and freeing Trump to govern without constant obstruction from liberal district judges. With pointed criticism of media bias, European censorship, and political complacency, the commentary frames these events as a powerful reassertion of American strength and constitutional order.

“I think what happened here is Europeans made a lot of commitments that they don't have any intention of fulfilling—at least in the near term—and this is all about appeasing President Trump to keep him engaged with the NATO alliance.” At the recent summit in The Hague, Netherlands, NATO allies agreed to spend a target 5 percent of GDP on defense in a win for Donald Trump, who has repeatedly expressed the belief that European NATO allies are not spending enough. Was this a mistake—and can European nations afford to follow through?CSIS's Max Bergmann, director of the CSIS Europe, Russia, and Eurasia Program, joins the podcast to discuss what really happened at the NATO summit and how defense spending will impact European economies going forward.

Why are Poland's young voters turning to the right? With his veto powers, Poland's president-elect Karol Nawrocki could halt the pro-EU government of Donald Tusk. Poland is a NATO member and backs Ukraine in the war with Russia. Scaling up security is an issue almost all Poles agree on, yet there are some signs of shifting attitudes - on foreign policy and immigration. We examine the gender gap among voters and the recent election discourse to understand how conflicting priorities and enduring conservative values are shaping the eastern flank of the West.
