Does Putin love Russia? Is he an ideological man? As Pres. Trump and Pres. Putin meet in Alaska to negotiate a potential peace deal between Russia and Ukraine, I speak with scholars of Russia to answer the above question and more.

The host combines several narratives to expose what he calls the "deep state" and a "fake reality." He alleges a political standoff between President Trump and Republican Senate leadership, accusing Senator John Thune of blocking appointments to prevent budget cuts. The host then connects the ongoing war in Ukraine to the "Russia collusion hoax," claiming that it was a fabricated lie used by the "deep state" to justify sanctions and a military buildup, with Russia as a victim. He asserts that a series of "bombshell" declassified documents—found in a "burn bag" and meant to be destroyed—prove that former FBI Director James Comey and Democrats Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell committed felonies by leaking classified information. The host contrasts these alleged cover-ups with Trump's foreign policy successes, such as his pressure campaign that has led Mexico to hand over high-ranking cartel leaders, which he says previous administrations failed to do. He concludes that these events, along with rising blue-collar wages and the voluntary departure of illegal immigrants, demonstrate Trump's effectiveness and the ease with which these issues could have been solved all along, had previous leaders not had "contempt" for Americans

In today's episode, we are joined by Noelle Acheson, author of Crypto Is Macro Now, to unpack one of the most important but misunderstood shifts happening in global finance: how Bitcoin is quietly positioning itself as both a store of value and a risk-on asset in a world gone mad with debt, money printing, and geopolitical chaos.~~~~~

In this urgent and thought-provoking episode of "Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu," Tom and co-host Drew dive headfirst into some of the most consequential geopolitical and domestic events unfolding right now. The conversation kicks off with escalating tensions in the Israel-Iran conflict, speculation about U.S. involvement, and global reactions to the prospect of another major war in the Middle East. With the world watching as superpowers and regional players clash over nuclear ambitions, Tom and Drew provide a nuanced and unflinching analysis of the moral dilemmas, double standards, and historical context driving events on the ground. Together, Tom and Drew untangle the complicated web of alliances, power imbalances, and ideological clashes between democratic West and theocratic regimes. They also examine the rise of anti-Semitism, the evolving narrative around Israel's actions in Gaza versus Iran, and the hypocrisy surrounding nuclear proliferation. The stakes are high, and the intense back-and-forth ensures listeners come away with a deeper understanding of the forces shaping today's headlines and tomorrow's future.

In this explosive Tech Burst Talks episode, host Charles sits down with Andrew Staples, a battle-tested geopolitical expert who made the leap from The Economist to founding his own advisory firm, GeoPol Asia. Together, they dissect how corporations across Asia are caught in the crossfire of escalating US-China tensions, tariff wars, and supply chain disruptions. This isn't just academic analysis - it's corporate survival intelligence from the trenches.  Staples reveals how multinationals are paralysed by uncertainty, with investment plans on hold whilst executives scramble to navigate everything from Vietnam's tariff backlash to China's strategic overseas expansion. The conversation exposes the volatile landscape where Singapore battles the Middle East for innovation talent, venture capital dries up across Southeast Asia, and Western MNCs find themselves demoted to third-tier priorities by nervous headquarters. From the miscalculation risks that keep geopolitical experts awake at night to Japan's demographic time bomb spurring unprecedented innovation, this episode delivers the tactical insights C-suite leaders need to thrive when caught between superpowers. Whether you're repositioning supply chains or managing expat teams in Asia's dynamic markets, Staples provides the intelligence needed to survive the corporate crossfire of our fractured global order.   SHOW NOTES: 00:08 Introduction and Guest Background 04:17 Geopolitical Climate and Business Impact 06:44 Navigating Uncertainty in Asia 11:02 China's Strategy and Global Influence 13:57 Challenges for Western MNCs in Asia 15:54 Middle East vs. Asia: Innovation and Investment 20:05 VC Slowdown and Future Strategies 22:09 Advice for Western Expats in Asia 23:31 Networking and Curiosity in Asia 24:52 Geopolitical Risks in Asia 26:22 Future Prospects and Global Order 29:58 Personal Reflections and Predictions 37:27 The Allure of Japan 39:49 Conclusion and Final Thoughts

The U.S. has enjoyed unchallenged economic, technological and military dominance globally for several decades, but its hegemony is at risk as a strengthening China has shaken the status quo. The Trump administration seeks to reaffirm the U.S.'s superiority through policies focused on homeshoring, innovation through deregulation, and reducing global reliance on the USD as reserve currency, but with all of these priorities driving policy, what is the future of the new global order? What is the impact on investors as the U.S. renegotiates its position on the global stage?Join Ingrid Macintosh, Vice President, TD Wealth, Head of Global Marketing, Client & Colleague Enablement and Strategy, TD Asset Management Inc.

Which countries are best positioned to thrive in the 21st century? No, it's not Denmark. Nor China. According to Parag Khanna, the Singapore based geo-strategist, the three countries that top what he calls The Periodic Table of States are Germany, Japan and Switzerland. And the United States of America, Khanna says, going against conventional wisdom, isn't far behind. Khanna's analysis describes a "post-Westphalian world" where non-state actors like corporations and diasporas hold significant influence. Khanna challenges the more conventional rankings of countries by incorporating climate resilience, governance quality, and economic stability alongside traditional metrics into his Periodic Table.The 5 KEEN ON AMERICA takeaways from our conversation with Khanna* Traditional power metrics are insufficient for measuring state stability - Khanna's "Periodic Table of States" incorporates factors like climate resilience, governance quality, and institutional effectiveness alongside conventional metrics.* Small states often outperform large powers in stability - Switzerland, Germany, and Japan top the rankings while large nations like India, Brazil, and Russia fall into the second tier.* We live in a "post-Westphalian" world where non-state actors (corporations like Google, diaspora networks, and even organized crime) wield significant power beyond traditional nation-state frameworks.* Migration management varies significantly across governance systems - Khanna notes that non-democratic states like UAE and Singapore have effectively managed high immigration rates while democratic nations have struggled politically with migration issues.* A "neo-Hanseatic league" of small, innovative states (like Estonia, Singapore, and Israel) is emerging as a powerful network outside traditional alliance structures, forming their own connections through academic exchanges, free labor mobility, and economic partnerships.Parag Khanna is Founder & CEO of AlphaGeo, the leading AI-powered geospatial analytics platform. He is the internationally bestselling author of seven books including MOVE: Where People Are Going for a Better Future (2021), preceded by The Future is Asian: Commerce, Conflict & Culture in the 21st Century (2019), as well as a trilogy of books on the future of world order beginning with The Second World: Empires and Influence in the New Global Order (2008), followed by How to Run the World: Charting a Course to the Next Renaissance (2011), and concluding with Connectography: Mapping the Future of Global Civilization (2016). He is also the author of Technocracy in America: Rise of the Info-State (2017) and co-author of Hybrid Reality: Thriving in the Emerging Human-Technology Civilization (2012). Parag was named one of Esquire's “75 Most Influential People of the 21st Century,” and featured in WIRED magazine's “Smart List.” He holds a Ph.D. from the London School of Economics, and Bachelors and Masters degrees from the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University. Born in India and raised in the UAE, New York and Germany, he has traveled to more than 150 countries and is a Young Global Leader of the World Economic Forum.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators.

In the opening address of the seventh BizNews Conference BNC#7, Chairperson of the Federal Council of the Democratic Alliance, Helen Zille, delivered a hard-hitting speech, dissecting the shifting global order and South Africa's precarious position within it. From the rise of geopolitical oligarchs—Trump, Putin, and Xi—to the ANC's foreign policy missteps, Zille laid bare the challenges ahead. She championed the DA's role in the Government of National Unity (GNU) as a necessary bulwark against state collapse, urging South Africans to embrace liberal democracy as the only viable path forward. Following her keynote address, Zille sat down with BizNews founder Alec Hogg to tackle tough questions on coalition politics, the DA's leverage in budget negotiations, and South Africa's foreign policy missteps. She warned of the ANC's devious negotiation tactics, outlined the DA's fight against reckless government spending, and explained why aligning with Iran could have devastating consequences for the country. Addressing concerns from the BNC#7 delegates about the GNU's risks for the DA, Zille made it clear: strategic muscle and principled governance are key to shaping South Africa's future.

The breakdown in communication between the US and Ukraine two weeks ago, for all the world to see, raises myriad questions, from the near-term state of the peace process in the Ukraine War, to the further-reaching framework of great power dynamics. As our guest this week details, the roles played in an emergent world order by the US, Europe, Russia and China are in flux, and we face potentially the most momentous geopolitical reorientation since the collapse of the Soviet Union.

As the second inauguration of Donald Trump approaches and global leaders head to Davos, Switzerland for the World Economic Forum, we at Mixed Signals want to know: what will media's role be in an increasingly unstable era? And will it bring more order or disorder for global politics? To discuss this, Ben and Max bring on political risk advisor Ian Bremmer of the Eurasia Group. They talk about how global leaders are engaging with new media and if digital media is shaping global politics, or vice versa. They also talk about Ian's run-in with Elon Musk in 2022, and how Donald Trump's second term will influence media leaders like Zuckerberg and Bezos.

Quantum Nurse https://graceasagra.com/  http://graceasagra.bio.link/presents Freedom International Livestream  Dec 5, 2024, Thursday 12:00 PM EST   Guest: Lawrence Freeman  Topic: Africa's Role in Shaping the New Global Order: Economic Growth, Geopolitical Strategies, Fight for Sovereignty and Freedom from Poverty  https://lawrencefreemanafricaandtheworld.com/ Bio: Lawrence Freeman stands as a prominent political-economic analyst with over three decades of dedicated experience in Africa, particularly within the discipline of physical economics. His unwavering advocacy for authentic economic growth through the enhancement of critical infrastructure, particularly in rail transportation and electricity, underscores his commitment to the principle that economic development is a fundamental human right. By prioritizing the sovereignty of African nations, Freeman empowers local leaders to advocate for policies that center on the welfare of their citizens. Freeman's significant contributions to economic policy span several countries, including Ethiopia, Sudan, Mali, Chad, Nigeria, the Central African Republic, and Côte d'Ivoire. He champions transformative projects such as the Transaqua initiative, aimed at revitalizing Lake Chad, and the African Union's African Integrated High-Speed Rail Network (AIHSN). Additionally, he is actively engaged in developing an African Infrastructure Development Plan inspired by Alexander Hamilton's National Bank framework.  In addition to his policy work, Freeman enriches the academic landscape by teaching African history at a Maryland institution and disseminating his insights through a multitude of scholarly articles. His proactive involvement in international media, along with advisory roles—most notably with the Lake Chad Basin Commission—further amplifies his influence. Freeman's work is not just critical; it is also inspiring, fostering a promising vision for Africa's socio-economic development, and highlighting the indispensable role that infrastructure plays in achieving sustainable growth and prosperity.   Creator Host: Grace Asagra, RN MA  Podcast:  Quantum Nurse: Out of the Rabbit Hole from Stress to Bliss  http://graceasagra.bio.link/ https://www.quantumnurse.life/ Bichute https://www.bitchute.com/channel/nDjE6Ciyg0ED/ TIP/DONATE LINK for Grace Asagra @ Quantum Nurse Podcast https://patron.podbean.com/QuantumNurse https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=FHUXTQVAVJDPU Venmo - @Grace-Asagra 609-203-5854  Special Guest Host: Drago Bosnic BRICS portal (infobrics.org) https://t.me/CerFunhouse Special Guest Host: PD Lawton https://africanagenda.net/ WELLNESS RESOURCES • Optimal Health and Wellness with Grace Virtual Dispensary Link (Designs for Health)    2https://www.designsforhealth.com/u/optimalhealthwellness • Quantum Nurse Eternal Health (Face Skin Care, Protein Powder and Elderberry) https://www.quantumnurseeternalhealth.com/ • Premier Research Labs – (QRA Biofield Energy Tested Nutraceuticals) https://prlabs.com/customer/account/create/code/59n84f/ Co-host/s: Roy Coughlan Podcast: AWAKENING https://www.awakeningpodcast.org/ https://www.awakeningpodcast.org/support/ Hartmut Schumacher Podcast: GO YOUR OWN PATH https://anchor.fm/hartmut-schumacher-path

“This is much deeper than just ‘let's figure out how we can get both sides to get along.'” When Ukraine declared itself an independent state during the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union, most Ukrainians celebrated the historic move. To Vladimir Putin, however, the formal separation of Ukraine from Russia represented the “greatest geopolitical catastrophe” of the 20th century. Today, the two nations are locked in war. The inability to end the fighting in the foreseeable future will largely be driven by their shared history, about which Ukraine and Russia have starkly different views. Another factor working against a swift end to the war is the inability of modern institutions to effectively prevent and handle crises like the Russia-Ukraine war, according to the political scientist and author Ian Bremmer. Still, amid this “geopolitical recession” lie opportunities to reinvigorate waning institutions and create new ones, hopefully rebalancing the global order for the better.

The success of last week's NATO Summit in Washington was mostly due to the management of expectations. The Ukrainian President already knew not to expect a formal invitation to join the military alliance and had to content himself with knowing that Ukraine's path to NATO's membership was “irreversible”. With that in mind, the summit was a success, even if overshadowed by a possible Trump return to the White House and Biden still trying to prove he's up for the job. Also looming large was China's military exercises with Belarus right outside NATO's border. To unpack the summit, host Catarina Vila Nova spoke to Jamie Shea, Senior Fellow for Peace, Security and Defence at Friends of Europe, and former Deputy Assistant Secretary-General for Emerging Security Challenges at NATO.

The liberal international order, characterized by rules-based multilateralism and values such as openness and representation, is often portrayed in terms of multiple crises. These crises, often analyzed from a Western perspective, include the reduced support of some Western powers towards certain multilateral institutions and the establishment of new ones by rising powers. However, these narratives often overlook the perspectives of low and middle-income countries, which is why in this episode, we shift our focus to understand how the Global South perceives and engages with this international order.Rohan Mukherjee is an assistant professor at the Department of International Relations, at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE).

An analysis of the merits and demerits of the new power bloc.

On Friday June 23rd Yevgeny Prighozin, the leader of the Russian mercenary Wagner Group, took to Telegram to announce that he would, “march for justice” to stop the Russian defense ministry “evil”. By Saturday morning Wagner forces had claimed control of Rostov-on-Don, the Russian military headquarters near the Ukrainian border. His forces proceeded in a convoy into Russia toward Moscow, getting to within 200 km of the capital. Putin declared him a traitor and seemed destined for a bloody showdown. Then in a dizzying turn it was announced that Prighozin would be allowed to retire to Belarus and his troops disbanded. To try and understand what happened and what it means for Putin's hold on power in Russia, "Hot Wash" host John Sorensen speaks with Kathryn Stoner, the Mosbacher Director at the Center on Democracy, Development and the Rule of Law at the Hoover Institution.

How do we make sense of geopolitical upheaval? The ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine has highlighted radical changes in international affairs but the nature of a new global political order is far from clear; with complex crises of energy and food security bubbling under shifts of strategic power alliances.John Kampfner has covered international politics for more than 35 years. He reported on the fall of the Berlin wall and the dissolution of the soviet union for the Daily Telegraph before working as chief political correspondent for the Financial Times. At the BBC he covered politics for The Today programme and Newsnight and later edited the New Statesman. His books on Russia, Germany, capitalism and democracy have become bestsellers and he currently serves as Executive Director of the U.K in the World Project at Chatham House, Britain's leading foreign policy Think Tank.

Today's Flashback Friday is from episode 378 published last May 6, 2014. Greg Palast is the author of the New York Times bestsellers Billionaires & Ballot Bandits, Armed Madhouse , The Best Democracy Money Can Buy and the highly acclaimed Vultures' Picnic, named Book of the Year 2012 on BBC Newsnight Review. His books have been translated into two dozen languages. His brand new film of his documentary reports for BBC Newsnight and Democracy Now! is called Vultures and Vote Rustlers. Palast is known for complex undercover investigations, spanning five continents, from the Arctic to the Amazon, from Caracas to California, using the skills he learned over two decades as a top investigator of corporate fraud. Palast, who has led investigations of multi-billion-dollar frauds in the oil, nuclear, power and finance industries for governments on three continents, has an academic side: he is the author of Democracy and Regulation, a seminal treatise on energy corporations and government control, commissioned by the United Nations and based on his lectures at Cambridge University and the University of São Paulo. In the 1970s, after earning a finance degree from the University of Chicago while studying under Milt Friedman and other "free trade luminaries," Palast went on to challenge their vision of a New Global Order. He did this while working for the United Steelworkers of America, the Enron workers' coalition in Latin America and consumer and environmental groups worldwide. Palast is Patron of the Trinity College Philosophical Society, an honor previously held by Jonathan Swift and Oscar Wilde. His writings have won him the Financial Times David Thomas Prize. Palast was called"An American hero," said Martin Luther King III and the ultra famous political activist Noam Chomsky says Greg "Upsets all the right people." Palast won the George Orwell Courage in Journalism Award for his BBC documentary, Bush Family Fortunes, where he exposed George W. Bush dodging the Vietnam War draft.

Too often, we are told that Russia plays a weak hand well. But, perhaps the nation's cards are better than we know. Russia ranks significantly behind the US and China by traditional measures of power: GDP, population size and health, and military might. Yet 25 years removed from its mid-1990s nadir following the collapse of the USSR, Russia has become a supremely disruptive force in world politics. Kathryn E. Stoner assesses the resurrection of Russia and argues that we should look beyond traditional means of power to assess its strength in global affairs. Taking into account how Russian domestic politics under Vladimir Putin influence its foreign policy, Stoner explains how Russia has battled its way back to international prominence. From Russia's seizure of the Crimea from Ukraine to its military support for the Assad regime in Syria, the country has reasserted itself as a major global power. Stoner examines these developments and more in tackling the big questions about Russia's turnaround and global future. Stoner marshals data on Russia's political, economic, and social development and uncovers key insights from its domestic politics. Russian people are wealthier than the Chinese, debt is low, and fiscal policy is good despite sanctions and the volatile global economy. Vladimir Putin's autocratic regime faces virtually no organized domestic opposition. Yet, mindful of maintaining control at home, Russia under Putin also uses its varied power capacities to extend its influence abroad. While we often underestimate Russia's global influence, the consequences are evident in the disruption of politics in the US, Syria, and Venezuela, to name a few. Russia Resurrected: Its Power and Purpose in a New Global Order (Oxford UP, 2020) is an eye-opening reassessment of the country, identifying the actual sources of its power in international politics and why it has been able to redefine the post-Cold War global order. Kathryn E. Stoner is the Deputy Director at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies and a Senior Fellow at the Center on Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law, and at the Center for International Security and Cooperation, all at Stanford University. She is the author orco-editor of five books, including Transitions to Democracy: A Comparative Perspective, written and edited with Ambassador Michael A. McFaul, and Resisting the State: Reform and Retrenchment in Post-Soviet Russia. Charles Coutinho, PH. D., Associate Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, received his doctorate from New York University. His area of specialization is 19th and 20th-century European, American diplomatic and political history. He has written for Chatham House's International Affairs, the Institute of Historical Research's Reviews in History and the University of Rouen's online periodical Cercles.

While we often underestimate Russia's global influence, the consequences are evident in the disruption of politics in the US, Syria, and Venezuela, to name a few. Russia Resurrected: Its Power and Purpose in a New Global Order (Oxford UP, 2020) is an eye-opening reassessment of the country, identifying the actual sources of its power in international politics and why it has been able to redefine the post-Cold War global order. Kathryn E. Stoner is the Deputy Director at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies and a Senior Fellow at the Center on Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law, and at the Center for International Security and Cooperation, all at Stanford University. She is the author orco-editor of five books, including Transitions to Democracy: A Comparative Perspective, written and edited with Ambassador Michael A. McFaul, and Resisting the State: Reform and Retrenchment in Post-Soviet Russia. Charles Coutinho, PH. D., Associate Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, received his doctorate from New York University. His area of specialization is 19th and 20th-century European, American diplomatic and political history.

Nasıl Bir Dünya? Nasıl Bir Türkiye? (97): Putin‘s War in Ukraine and the New Global Order

"The Putin Puzzle: Why Ukraine? Why Now?" is a recent WSJ essay by Professor Kathryn Stoner of Stanford University. She is also the author of Russia Resurrected: Its Power and Purpose in a New Global Order, a 2021 book published by Oxford University Press. In this episode, Professor Stoner tells us about Mr. Putin's early years, his moment of shock in Dresden when he received no help from Moscow in response to anti-communist protests. The year was 1989! She also talks about Mr. Putin's love of the Russian Empire - its geography, which he expresses now with nationalism and also his support of the Russian Orthodox Church. His pride in Russia was exhibited in his renovation of historic Russian Empire palaces, and his attempts to create a modern, stable Russian economy, about which Professor Stoner educates us as well. So does Mr. Putin want to resurrect the Soviet Union? Our news media seems to think so, as they often repeat Mr. Putin's infamous line that the collapse of the Soviet empire “was the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the [20th] century”. But there is a second part to this statement that is not often repeated. It provides a clue to Mr. Putin's true intentions, which Professor Stoner sets out to explain in this episode. To learn more about Dr. Stoner, her academic work many publications and projects, visit her academic homepage. I hope you enjoy this episode and gain some perspective about Mr. Putin and Russia.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine has already caused untold suffering to millions of people and upended the global order as we know it. The international community, apart from a few exceptions, has been largely united in its condemnation of this attack on a sovereign country's ability to decide its own future. And several sanctions have thus far been imposed on Russia, many of which also target President Putin, senior Russian officials, and their rich financial backers. President Putin has tried, although without much success, to justify what he terms to be a military operation (and not an invasion). President Zelenskyy of Ukraine has refused to flee his war-ravaged country, and this, together with his regular morale boosting social media posts, has made him a household name in many parts of the world. What kind of threat does Ukraine pose to Russia? How did we get to this point? Can President Putin withstand the backlash from this war? What is Russia's role and purpose in a new global order, and how has it managed to develop an outsized influence in international politics even though it does not have the traditional means of power possessed by the United States or China? Kathryn Stoner is the Mosbacher Director of Stanford University's Center on Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law (CDDRL). She is also a Senior Fellow the Hoover Institution and a professor of political science. She has conducted extensive research on contemporary Russia and has a new book: "Russia Resurrected: Its Power and Purpose in a New Global Order".
