Guten Morgen! Heute beleuchten wir, warum BAMF-Chef Sommer das Asylrecht in Deutschland abschaffen will. Weiter blicken wir auf Frankreich und die Reaktion von Marine Le Pen auf ihre Verurteilung. Danach geht es um die brachliegende Nord-Stream-2-Pipeline und die Debatte darüber, ob sie bald wieder Gas aus Russland liefert.
Der russische Außenminister Lawrow bestätigte vor Kurzem Gespräche mit den USA über die Wiederinbetriebnahme der brachliegenden Nord-Stream-2-Gaspipeline in der Ostsee. Diese Verhandlungen seien Teil des Friedensplans für die Ukraine. In der CDU und SPD gibt es Stimmen, die sich ein Comeback von Gaslieferungen aus Russland vorstellen können. Die Grünen sind massiv dagegen. Wie positioniert sich Merz? Eine Analyse.
Having ramped down imports of Russian gas at the start of the Russia-Ukraine war, the European Union may need to answer industry calls for higher imports if peace or a ceasefire are achieved. But will politicians be comfortable with this, and what about the damaged Nord Stream pipelines? And how does the US approach the topic, having become a major LNG supplier to Europe in the past few years? Laurent Ruseckas, executive director for gas at S&P Global Commodity Insights, shares his analysis with host Eklavya Gupte and correspondent Camilla Naschert. Energy Evolution has merged with Platts Future Energy, and episodes are now regularly published on Tuesdays.

Laut Gerüchten laufen zwischen Russland und den USA Gespräche über eine Inbetriebnahme von Nord Stream durch einen US-Investor. Die CDU ist nicht abgeneigt, die Grünen und die Deutsche Umwelthilfe sind empört. Dabei ist die Behauptung, Deutschland beziehe kein russisches Gas mehr, Augenwischerei. Von Gert Ewen Ungar

[WSPÓŁPRACA REKLAMOWA] Gościnią Witolda Jurasza i Zbigniewa Parafianowicza w najnowszym odcinku podcastu “Raport Międzynarodowy” jest dyrektor Przedstawicielstwa Komisji Europejskiej w Polsce, Katarzyna Smyk. Tematem rozmowy jest opublikowana przez Komisję Europejską biała księga ds. obronności. Dziennikarze rozmowę zaczynają jednak nie od pytań o samą białą księgę, lecz o to, czy atmosfera na korytarzach władzy w Brukseli w stosunku do Rosji rzeczywiście się zmienia, czy jedynie ulega modyfikacji w wyniku wojny w Ukrainie. Jeśli chodzi o samą białą księgę, prowadzący pytają, dlaczego Komisja Europejska postanowiła uruchomić jedynie (a może aż) 150 miliardów euro i dlaczego zbrojenia nie mogą być finansowane poprzez emisję euroobligacji, czy też ze wspólnego długo, co byłoby rozwiązaniem najbardziej korzystnym z punktu widzenia Polski. Katarzyna Smyk, która – podkreślmy – jest urzędniczką, a nie polityczką, przez co jej swoboda wypowiedzi jest, rzecz jasna, bardziej ograniczona, odpowiada, że Komisja Europejska stara się proponować takie rozwiązania, które zostaną zaakceptowane przez wszystkie państwa członkowskie. Choć tego już gościni podcastu wprost nie mówi, to powoduje, że wszelkie pretensje należy kierować bardziej do państw członkowskich niż do Komisji Europejskiej, która po prostu musi uwzględniać realia. Gościni “Raportu Międzynarodowego” podkreśla także, że 150 miliardów euro to nie jedyne pieniądze, które zostały uwolnione przez Komisję Europejską – należy również pamiętać o 650 miliardach euro, tj. kwocie, którą państwa członkowskie Unii Europejskiej mogą dodatkowo wydać, ponieważ w odniesieniu do tych środków nie obowiązuje procedura nadmiernego deficytu. Katarzyna Smyk bardzo wyraźnie zaznacza, że ten zapis zostaje wprowadzony w wyniku starań polskiej dyplomacji, gdyż nasz kraj – jako ten, który wydaje najwięcej na zbrojenia – był zainteresowany właśnie takim rozwiązaniem. Na pytanie, czy mechanizmy wprowadzane przez Komisję Europejską nie uderzają w amerykański przemysł zbrojeniowy, gościni podcastu odpowiada jednoznacznie negatywnie, zaznaczając jednocześnie, że oczywiście celem Brukseli jest stymulowanie wzrostu produkcji zbrojeniowej w Europie. Jeśli chodzi o polityczne zapisy białej księgi, Witold Jurasz pyta, czy zdefiniowanie Chin jako państwa stanowiącego wyzwanie podobne do Rosji nie jest w rzeczywistości niekorzystne, gdyż stawianie Chin i Rosji w jednym szeregu tak naprawdę działa na korzyść Moskwy. Tematem rozmowy jest również unijna biurokracja i problem polegający na tym, że wszelkie inwestycje zbrojeniowe musiały dotychczas przechodzić przez procedury uzyskiwania zgód, na przykład środowiskowych. W odpowiedzi na to pytanie Katarzyna Smyk bardzo wyraźnie podkreśla, że Komisja Europejska dostrzega ten problem i w białej księdze proponuje uproszczenie procedur, tak aby produkcja zbrojeniowa, w tym przede wszystkim produkcja amunicji, mogła ruszyć w najbliższym czasie. Zbigniew Parafianowicz i Witold Jurasz pytają również, dlaczego w białej księdze nie znajdują się zapisy dotyczące utrzymania sankcji na Rosję ani takie, które wykluczają ponowne uruchomienie gazociągów Nord Stream oraz Nord Stream 2. Dziennikarze zwracają także uwagę na jeden z zapisów białej księgi, w którym mowa jest o dostarczeniu Ukrainie w 2025 roku dwóch milionów sztuk amunicji artyleryjskiej. Przy czym mowa zarówno o dostawach z istniejących już zapasów, jak i o zakupach nowo wyprodukowanych pocisków. Autorzy podcastu pytają Katarzynę Smyk, czy takie sformułowanie nie oznacza przyznania, że Europa nie jest w stanie wyprodukować wspomnianej wyżej liczby pocisków artyleryjskich, a zatem – aby dostarczyć dwa miliony sztuk – musi sięgać do już uszczuplonych zapasów. Partnerem komercyjnym odcinka jest Komisja Europejska.
The provided transcript features Donald Trump discussing his recent phone call with Vladimir Putin, where they purportedly talked about achieving peace in the conflict zone with "a lot of guns pointing at each other". Trump claims aid to Ukraine was not a topic of their conversation, despite reports suggesting otherwise. He also touches upon the possibility of improved US-Russia bilateral relations and his views on Russia's ties with China, mentioning historical context and potential future alignments. Furthermore, Trump defends his past actions concerning Nord Stream 2 and asserts his priority is the United States' interests, positioning himself as a nationalist who nonetheless had good relationships with various world leaders.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Beckmann, Anna-Lou www.deutschlandfunk.de, Informationen am Abend
Alf R. Jacobsen har med sin bok Den usynlige energikrigen avfyrt en torpedo mot den dype staten. Derav den totale taushet som har som har omgitt sprengningen av NordStream 1 og 2. Den norske regjering har selv plasserte ladningen, for en så stor operasjon som involverer så mange mennesker, lar seg ikke skjule i det lange løp.Jacobsen har i boken samlet nye indisier på at det var USA som sto bak, med norsk assistanse. Det er noe uhyggelig ved operasjonen som sprengte rørledningene til Tyskland, som landets statsminister Olaf Scholz selv var med på. Det fremgår med all tydelighet av hans svar på pressekonferansen i Washington rett før invasjonen i februar 2022.Den tyske reporteren fra Reuters, Andrea, spør perpleks hvordan Biden skal kunne sette en stopper for NordStream. -Stol på meg, vi er i stand til det og kommer til å gjøre det, svarer Biden. Scholz stepper inn og sier at Tyskland står sammen med USA i alt som kommer. Hans mimikk og kroppsspråk forteller at han også var informert.Det samme var Jonas Gahr Støre som uteble fra åpningen av Baltic Pipe 27. september, selv om han skulle vært hovedpersonen. Det var norsk gass som fløt gjennom rørene, en stor begivenhet for det norsk-polske samarbeidet. Men den norske statsminister meldte avbud i siste øyeblikk, med en svevende begrunnelse.2. oktober kom et fartøy som plukket opp den fjerde bomben som ikke hadde eksplodert fordi dykkerne hadde fått for dårlig tid.20. november dukker Normand Frontier fra Solstad Offshore opp og i ti dager saumfarer de bunnen og fjerner alle spor. Operasjonen voktes av kystvaktskipet Hamilton som holder nysgjerrige på avstand.Dette er bare et par av avsløringene i Jacobsens bok.Det er når alle disse brikkene settes sammen at bildet avtegner seg. Sprengningen av NordStream var et stykke statsterrorisme som den amerikanske regjering utførte med norsk assistanse. De gjorde det mot Russland og Tyskland som var medvitende om sabotasjen. Det var et selvskudd som ingen tysk regjering kan overleve.
Sorgen um die deutschen Staatsfinanzen und um die Ukraine Am Dienstag hat der Bundestag mit Zweidrittelmehrheit dafür gestimmt, die Schuldenbremse im Grundgesetz erheblich zu lockern. Freitag dürfte der Bundesrat folgen. Wie groß wird dadurch der Spielraum für zusätzliche Schulden? Und was heißt das für die Solidität unserer Staatsfinanzen? Können wir uns das leisten? – CDU, SPD und Grüne betonen die positive Seite des sogenannten Sondervermögens. Welche Chancen bietet das neue Finanzpaket für Deutschland? Und welche Risiken sind damit verbunden? – Die Koalitionsverhandlungen für eine neue Bundesregierung laufen an. Worauf kommt es jetzt an? Und was sollten die Unterhändler von Union und SPD auf jeden Fall beschließen? – Auch der russische Krieg gegen die Ukraine macht erneut Schlagzeilen. Wie sieht die militärische Lage aktuell aus? Trump und Putin haben am Dienstag länger telefoniert. Wie ist der Vorschlag für einen Teil-Waffenstillstand mit einem zeitweiligen Verzicht auf Angriffe auf Energieanlagen einzuschätzen? Und welche Rolle spielt Europa bei den Gesprächen? – An den Finanzmärkten hoffen viele Anleger auf ein baldiges Ende des Krieges. Der Preis für Erdgas ist in den letzten Wochen gefallen. Vereinzelt wird sogar diskutiert, nach einem möglichen Ende des Krieges die Nordstream-2-Pipeline zu öffnen. Ist das realistisch? Und auf welche Szenarien müssen wir uns im Ukraine-Krieg einstellen?
It's Wednesday, March 19th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Pakistan court annulled forced marriage of Christian girl to Muslim man A court in Pakistan issued an historic ruling in favor of a Christian woman last month. Shahida Bibi was 11 years old when her mother eloped with a Muslim man who then “gave” Bibi to his brother. She faced years of abuse and coercion and gave birth to two children. She was also forced into an Islamic marriage once she turned 18. Thankfully, a court annulled the forced marriage. Alliance Defending Freedom commented, “While these forced conversions and marriage abuses happen across the globe, they are especially prevalent in Pakistan. In coordination with our allied lawyers in the country, we are taking every step possible to prevent these situations from occurring.” Pakistan is ranked eighth on the Open Doors' World Watch List of nations where it is most difficult to be a Christian. Bible sales nearly double United Kingdom Bible sales have nearly doubled in the United Kingdom, reports The Times. Between 2019 and 2024, the sale of Bibles increased 87% from 2.69 million British pounds to 5.02 million pounds. Publishers credit this increased demand to the spiritual interest of young people. Sam Richardson, with The Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, said, “Atheism, once considered by modern society to be the view of most rational adults, no longer seems to carry the same weight or appeal. Young people — Gen Z in particular — are statistically far less likely to identify as atheists than their parents.” Psalm 119:9 asks, “How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word.” Putin agreed to limited ceasefire Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to a limited ceasefire in Ukraine during a call with U.S. President Donald Trump yesterday. For 30 days, Russia said it would halt strikes on energy and infrastructure targets in Ukraine. This falls short of a complete 30-day ceasefire that Ukraine has agreed to. Trump wrote on Truth Social, “My phone conversation today with President Putin of Russia was a very good and productive one. … We will be working quickly to have a Complete Ceasefire and, ultimately, an END to this very horrible War between Russia and Ukraine.” Appearing on the Real Clear Politics Radio Show, reporter Phil Wegman, offered a fascinating boxing analogy. Listen. WEGMAN: “What is absent from this readout between Trump and Putin is any type of fireworks. Both Trump and Putin, they know each other. They're known entities, and while Trump isn't as aggressive in his description of the Russian dictator, he doesn't trust the guy. That much is clear from his moves on arming the Ukrainians during his first term, from his moves on Nord Stream. (Look at the map here) “I think this is just two folks who know each other pretty well, who are circling one another before they get into the ring and actually begin trading diplomatic blows to get this thing to an end.” By the way, Nord Stream is a network of offshore natural gas pipelines which run under the Baltic Sea, from Russia all the way to Germany (759 miles), to provide Western Europe with natural gas. Trump sides with church in zoning case The Trump administration is backing a church in a case over religious discrimination with a California city. The city of Santa Ana denied a request by Anchor Stone Christian Church to operate in the city's professional district. The city's zoning laws make it difficult for churches, but not other groups like museums or art galleries, to operate in the district. The U.S. Department of Justice supports the church, accusing the city leaders of Santa Ana of violating the federal law by giving less favorable treatment to religious assemblies. Environmental Protection Agency rolls out biggest deregulation ever The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced the biggest deregulatory action in U.S. history last week. The agency announced 31 actions aimed at unleashing American energy, lowering the cost of living for American families, and giving power back to states to make their own decisions. The agency's administrator, Lee Zeldin, said, “Today is the greatest day of deregulation our nation has seen. We are driving a dagger straight into the heart of the climate change religion to drive down cost of living for American families, unleash American energy, bring auto jobs back to the U.S., and more.” Missouri AG to Planned Parenthood: No more Abortion Kill Pills Missouri is cracking down on chemical abortions in the state. Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey issued a cease-and-desist order to Planned Parenthood last week. Bailey noted, “This order is a necessary enforcement mechanism to prevent Planned Parenthood from continuing to disregard Missouri law and to protect the health and safety of Missouri women. Planned Parenthood has a documented history of subverting state law, including failure to file complication reports.” Two astronauts returned after 9 months stranded in space And finally … SPACEX ANNOUNCER: “And splashdown. Crew Nine, back on Earth. (applause and cheers) Butch, Suni, on behalf of SpaceX, welcome home!” two NASA astronauts headed back to Earth yesterday after spending an unexpected nine months aboard the International Space Station. Last June, they anticipated only an 8-day stay. They languished in space for 286 days – 35 times longer than the initially scheduled mission. Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams had planned on a short mission last spring. However, the Boeing Starliner crew capsule that took them to space encountered technical issues, stranding them on the space station. The astronauts returned thanks to a SpaceX Freedom capsule. The capsule entered our atmosphere at 17,500 miles per hour. The heat shield brought the speed down to 350 miles per hour. And then the four parachutes, which opened at 6,500 feet above Earth, lowered the speed to 119 miles per hour, enabling the capsule to land gently at 15 miles per hour in the Gulf of America off the coast of Tallahassee, Florida. During an interview on board the space station, Wilmore shared his Christian faith. WILMORE: “My feeling on all of this goes back to my faith. It's bound in my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He is working out His plan and His purposes for His glory throughout all of humanity. And how that plays into our lives is significant and important, and however that plays out, I am content because I understand that. I understand that He's at work in all things.” Romans 8:28 says, "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, March 19th, in the year of our Lord 2025.

Der Politikwissenschaftler Sebastian Schäffer über Motive, Instrumente und Methoden russischer Desinformation. Ein Podcast vom Pragmaticus. Das Thema:Die Ukraine weiß es seit 2004: Putin führt Krieg gegen den Westen. Russische Einflussnahme passiert deshalb nicht nur in den USA, in Deutschland, oder in Großbritannien, sondern überall dort, wo sich Menschen für Demokratie und Menschenrechte einsetzen und sich von Russland lösen wollen – in Rumänien und der Republik Moldau etwa. Der Politikwissenschaftler Sebastian Schäffer erklärt Motive, Methoden und Instrumente russischer Desinformation.Unser Gast in dieser Folge: Sebastian Schäffer ist Politikwissenschaftler. Ein Schwerpunkt seiner Forschung sind Demokratiebewegungen, europäische Integration und Desinformation. Seit 2019 leitet er das Institut für den Donauraum und Mitteleuropa (IDM) in Wien.Dies ist ein Podcast von Der Pragmaticus. Sie finden uns auch auf Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn und X (Twitter).
ORELLA: "Trump defiende que EEUU es la primera potencia. No habrá un conflicto si no le beneficia"Se empieza a abrir el melón de la tregua con la primera conversación entre Trump y el ruso, Putin. "Todo el mundo ha ido con sus barajas y está poniendo sus cartas encima de la mesa". En las primeras reuniones todo el mundo pedirá lo máximo para poder llevarse victorias para vender ante su población. "Donald Trump quiere quedar como el gran árbitro de la situación internacional y que EEUU sigue estando presente, es la primera potencia del mundo y no habrá ningún conflicto que no beneficie a EEUU", ah defendido José Luis Orella, profesor de Historia Contemporánea de la Universidad CEU San Pablo. El presidente ruso, Putin "va a aceptar los planteamientos del nuevo orden internacional", siempre que la reconstrucción del NordStream esté bajo el control de EEUU. El objetivo que le hubiera gustado a Rusia era recrear una federación de Bielorrusia: Rusia y Ucrania, pero "se va a tener que conformar con una parte", la más afín del ámbito ucraniano, lo que exige una "amputación del territorio ucraniano". Así, la Ucrania independiente tendrá lazos estrechos con EEUU, pero la parte rusa se integrará como una prolongación de Rusia, asegurando la salida de Rusia al mar Negro. Zelensky es una figura política que carece de futuro como reflejó Trump, "Ucrania no pinta nada en la negociación de paz, tampoco ha pintado nada antes, pero ahora todo el mundo se está dando cuenta", sostiene Orella. Quizás, Gran Bretaña, la única que no es potencia europea, ha favorecido la prolongación de la guerra, teniendo a su maquinaria militar bajo el control de EEUU. "Macron es una mediocridad política, que casi es mejor esconderlo antes de que meta la pata". Donald Trump está volviendo a una política tradicional: relaciones estrechas con Israel y Arabia Saudí, con el mundo islámico suní. Pretendiendo que Irán no vuelva a tener importancia como potencia en la región. La pregunta es por qué EEUU hace esto. #trump #eeuu #guerra #ucrania #rusia #putin #zelensky #ukrainewar #tregua #paz #useconomy #geopolitica #orella #negociostv #vizner Si quieres entrar en la Academia de Negocios TV, este es el enlace: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwd8Byi93KbnsYmCcKLExvQ/join Síguenos en directo ➡️ https://bit.ly/2Ts9V3pSuscríbete a nuestro canal: https://bit.ly/3jsMzp2Suscríbete a nuestro segundo canal, másnegocios: https://n9.cl/4dca4Visita Negocios TV https://bit.ly/2Ts9V3pMás vídeos de Negocios TV: https://youtube.com/@NegociosTVSíguenos en Telegram: https://t.me/negociostvSíguenos en Instagram: https://bit.ly/3oytWndTwitter: https://bit.ly/3jz6LptFacebook: https://bit.ly/3e3kIuy
Spekulationen über mögliche Gespräche zwischen den USA und Russland zur Wiederinbetriebnahme der Nord Stream 2-Pipeline werfen Fragen zur zukünftigen Energiestrategie Europas auf. Könnte Trump als Vermittler neue Impulse setzen? Wird Europa von diesen Entwicklungen überrascht? von Hans-Ueli Läppli https://rtde.online/meinung/239760-eu-denkt-ueber-nord-stream/
LORENZO RAMÍREZ: "Rusia no tiene prisa para el alto el fuego". Esta es su jugada maestra para la pazEl presidente ruso, Putin quiere hablar con Donald Trump para barajar sus condiciones para la tregua con Ucrania. Cada uno al lado de la trinchera hace su lectura, "ambos contentos", sostiene Lorenzo Ramírez, periodista económico. Hay medios que entienden que Putin rechaza el alto el fuego y otros que lo apoyan, una divergencia porque en EEUU y Europa se comete el error de calibrar la reacción del adversario en función "de nuestros objetivos"."Rusia no tiene prisa para el alto el fuego, ahora que Zelensky deja de mandar soldados al matadero de Kursk", Putin quiere un alto el fuego a largo plazo. Rusia pide que EEUU y la OTAN se comprometan a no enviar misiles cerca de sus fronteas, afectando a Ucrania y a Polonia, que quiere luz verde para el armamento nuclear. "Mientras el Kremlin tenga una amenaza militar en la puerta no aceptará ninguna solución negociada, algo racional", sostiene el periodista económico. La negociación de tregua con el Kremlin no la hace Marco Rubio, sino el enviado especial a Oriente Medio, es decir, las conversaciones entre EEUU y Rusia no tienen a Ucrania en el centro, sino que quieren redefinir la presencia en los países del Golfo y en África. "La cuestión es si el plan para rearmar europea será un saqueo institucional para robar el ahorro a los ciudadanos o un plan para provocar una Tercera Guerra Mundial", ha defendido Lorenzo Ramírez. Una guerra con la que se pretende tapar las vergüenzas económicas de una Europa que se desangra por las heridas provocadas por unos políticos que no se interesan por Europa. Europa cada vez ha comprado más gas natural licuado ruso. El gas ruso puede volver a llegar a Europa por gasoducto, "una muy buena noticia para la industria del viejo continente", sostiene Lorenzo Ramírez. Se vuelve a hablar de poner en marcha los gasoductos de NordStream. "Que haya un acuerdo global en materia energética sin bombas puede salvar a una Europa que sin el gas ruso no puede sacar adelante su plan energético". Y EEUU no puede cumplir su promesa de llenar de gas licuado a Europa, los números no salen. Trump está como pez en el agua con la guerra de aranceles: puede usarlo como arma de negociación, puede mantener a todos en vilo. Aunque es una guerra de divisa, recuerda Lorenzo Ramírez, "tras la bomba de humo de guerra de aranceles" con un alto déficit de EEUU. El tira y afloja con Canadá ahora llega a Europa, porque estos países ya negocian los aranceles. "Europa hace tiempo que es esteril para que las potencias den su mano a torcer". España es uno de los países que más sufrirá con productos como el aceite y el vino.

Die Nord-Stream-Pipelines sind aktuell wieder in den Schlagzeilen. Nachdem Gerüchte über eine US-amerikanische Übernahme der Pipelines durch Kauf vor Kurzem für Aufregung sorgten, meldete am 4. März 2025 die BILD-Zeitung, dass derzeit intensiv geprüft werde, welche Hebel Deutschland in der Hand habe, um ein Comeback von Nord Stream 2 zu verhindern. Immer, wennWeiterlesen
00:00:00 - The episode kicks off with casual banter, including voice strain from a concert, password-resetting jokes, and a backlog of Alex Jones clips. The hosts dive into an extended segment of Alex Jones' past rants, featuring over-the-top claims and signature outbursts. 00:10:00 - Scientific protests and funding struggles—scientists are organizing against budget cuts, with some forming a new lobbying group to influence policy. The hosts mock the idea of scientists feeling entitled to government funding and joke about dead-end research projects like studies on chimpanzee urination habits. 00:20:00 - Discussion of a study linking belief in conspiracy theories to spitefulness. The hosts argue that many official narratives, like the Nord Stream pipeline explosion or COVID-19 policies, were initially dismissed as conspiracy theories but later found merit. They criticize the mainstream framing of skepticism as irrational. 00:30:00 - Joe Rogan discussion—the hosts joke about compiling a database of Rogan's soundbites to create an AI-generated Rogan interview. They also play a clip about identifying psyops, arguing that censorship is a key indicator of psychological operations. 00:40:00 - James Bond Jr. legal case—a man named James Bond Jr. was jailed for 60 days because police thought he was lying about his name. The hosts find this absurd and discuss how tone and sarcasm can lead to police escalation. 00:50:00 - The JD Vance meme phenomenon—the internet has exploded with "fat head" JD Vance memes, depicting him as Bob Ross, a Black woman, a Halo gamer, and even a pro wrestler. The hosts react to these bizarre edits and discuss how meme culture has become a political tool. 01:00:00 - AOC's immigration comments—AOC claims that Republicans are building "private prison camp pipelines" rather than addressing immigration. The hosts criticize her misrepresentation of the legislation, pointing out how the Lakein Riley Act (named after a murdered woman) was twisted into an attack on Dreamers. 01:10:00 - Trump's speech highlights—a major line from Trump states that "all we needed was a new president" to fix the border crisis, implying Biden's executive orders caused the surge. Polling suggests many Americans found the speech entertaining and agreed with its sentiment. 01:20:00 - Trump exposes absurd government spending—in an extended segment, Trump lists billions wasted on projects like: $20 million for "Arab Sesame Street" $10 million for male circumcision in Mozambique $22 billion for free housing & cars for illegal immigrants $8 million for transgender research on mice $42 million for “social behavior change” in Uganda $250K for vegan climate action in Zambia The hosts highlight how Democrats refuse to address these wasteful expenditures. 01:30:00 - Elon Musk vs. the deep state—Democrats criticize Musk's access to IRS data, calling his team a "gang of twenty-year-olds" with dangerous oversight of private records. The hosts point out the hypocrisy, referencing Hillary Clinton's private email server scandal. They argue that government systems are outdated, and Musk's involvement might actually improve efficiency. 01:40:00 - Ian Crossland on Joe Rogan—Rogan interviews Ian Crossland from Timcast, discussing controlled opposition and how Alex Jones has been consistently right for decades. They recall Jones' early coverage of staged provocateurs at protests, suggesting history is repeating itself. 01:50:00 - PizzaGate discussion resurfaces—They revisit the weird Instagram posts of James Alefantis, archived evidence, and how the media intentionally misrepresented the scandal to discredit the investigation. They highlight Podesta's art collection and Marina Abramovic's connections. 02:00:00 - "Do Americans pee in the shower?"—A new study claims 25% of Americans pee in the shower, leading to jokes about government funding wasted on ridiculous research.

Bundesregierung lehnt Comeback von Nord Stream 2 rigoros ab - TE-Wecker vom 04. März 2025
In a dramatic turn of events last Friday, an Oval Office press conference meant to signal unity between the U.S. and Ukraine spiraled into an unanticipated disaster. What was supposed to be a step toward solidifying a peace negotiation framework with Russia instead resulted in the unraveling of a crucial minerals-for-aid deal. The fallout has raised pressing questions about the future of U.S.-Ukraine relations, President Trump's foreign policy, and Ukraine's ability to sustain its war efforts.The Lead-Up: A Fragile PartnershipTo understand the significance of last Friday's debacle, it's essential to examine the events leading up to it. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, a seasoned political operator, has long been reliant on U.S. support. Despite initial tensions, particularly regarding Biden's approval of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, the Ukraine-U.S. relationship strengthened in the wake of Russia's full-scale invasion. The Biden administration's vocal support and military aid were critical in keeping Ukraine afloat.However, Zelenskyy has never shied away from playing hardball in the American political arena, a strategy that has at times put him at odds with U.S. leaders. His aggressive advocacy for Ukraine, including his willingness to publicly challenge U.S. decisions, set the stage for what would become a deeply consequential clash with the Trump administration.The Minerals-for-Aid Deal: A Shaky FoundationOne of the most underreported aspects of Friday's breakdown was the origins of the proposed minerals-for-aid agreement. Contrary to some portrayals, this wasn't a Trump-led shakedown—it was an idea first floated by Zelenskyy himself in October 2024. His proposal sought to leverage Ukraine's vast rare-earth mineral reserves, essential for advanced technology and defense systems, in exchange for long-term U.S. and European support.The Trump administration seized on this idea, seeing it as a way to justify continued investment in Ukraine while securing critical materials. However, negotiations faltered. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and a delegation, including Senator JD Vance and Marco Rubio, attempted to finalize the agreement in multiple rounds of talks. Zelenskyy, at one point, appeared ready to sign—only to later insist on additional approvals from Ukraine's parliament, frustrating Trump and his team.The Press Conference MeltdownThe diplomatic strain reached its breaking point at the White House. The stage was set for Zelenskyy and Trump to present a united front and sign the minerals deal. Instead, what followed was an unexpectedly confrontational exchange that unraveled months of negotiation.The first warning signs appeared when Zelenskyy openly bristled at Trump's references to Russian casualties, signaling an underlying frustration with the framing of the discussion. Tensions escalated when Zelenskyy, rather than using the platform to solidify the agreement, engaged in an impromptu challenge to JD Vance regarding U.S. support for Ukraine.Key moments included:* Trump's unexpected commitments: Despite accusations that his administration is soft on Russia, Trump pledged continued arms shipments to Ukraine and even left the door open for U.S. troops participating in a peacekeeping force.* Zelenskyy's misstep: His attempt to push for additional reparations from Russia, while politically sound, was ill-timed given the fragile state of negotiations.* The breaking point: A contentious back-and-forth between Zelenskyy and Vance, initiated by Zelenskyy, derailed the proceedings. Within hours, the deal was dead.The Fallout: A Win for Moscow?The failure to secure an agreement is a major setback for Ukraine. Without a clear U.S. commitment, European nations may hesitate to maintain their full-throated support, wary of straining relations with Washington. Meanwhile, Russia stands to benefit from any cracks in the Western alliance's stance on Ukraine.For Trump, the incident may not be the political liability that critics assume. Polling suggests that a majority of Americans remain skeptical of prolonged foreign military commitments. His stance, which aligns with a broader shift toward isolationism within the Republican Party, is unlikely to cost him significant political capital.What Happens Next?Despite the disastrous turn of events, all hope is not lost. The underlying incentives for a deal remain strong—Ukraine needs U.S. support, and the U.S. has a strategic interest in securing rare-earth minerals.* Will Zelenskyy make amends? His best course of action may be to reopen negotiations, perhaps even making a direct appeal to Trump at Mar-a-Lago.* Can Europe fill the gap? In the immediate term, European leaders, including France and the UK, are trying to reassure Ukraine, but their ability to replace U.S. support remains in question.* Will the Trump administration re-engage? The White House has signaled that the door is not entirely closed. Treasury Secretary Bessent has expressed confidence that an agreement can still be reached.Friday's Oval Office debacle was a textbook case of diplomatic miscalculation. Zelenskyy, known for his sharp political instincts, overplayed his hand at a critical moment, while Trump's characteristic unpredictability added to the chaos. The result was a self-inflicted wound for Ukraine at a time when it can least afford uncertainty.In the coming weeks, the world will watch closely to see if this was a temporary setback or a turning point in the war. One thing is certain—Ukraine cannot afford another misstep.

Al voordat hij tot president werd gekozen was het duidelijk dat Donald Trump de relatie met Vladimir Poetin wilde normaliseren en Oekraïne wilde dwingen tot enorme concessies. Met de politieke soapopera van de afgelopen dagen in de Verenigde Naties heeft hij laten zien dat het hem menens is. Het is nu een openlijk bonje met de bondgenoten. Alleen moeten we niet net doen of dat voor het eerst is, en een beetje historisch perspectief kan geen kwaad. Zomaar een paar voorbeelden. In 1956 nationaliseerde Egypte het Suezkanaal, dat toen werd geëxploiteerd door een Brits-Frans bedrijf. Israël, het VK en Frankrijk begonnen een oorlog tegen Egypte, tot woede van de Amerikaanse president Eisenhower. Het leidde tot een enorme crisis binnen de NAVO. Frankrijk ergerde zich zo aan de ‘Amerikaanse arrogantie’ dat president De Gaulle in 1966 zelfs uit het militaire pakt stapte. De NAVO moest ook opkrassen uit Parijs, en verhuisde naar Brussel. Pas in 2009 werd het land, onder Sarkozy, weer volledig lid. Eind jaren 70 ontstond er knallende ruzie over de plaatsing van Pershings en kruisraketten, onder meer in Nederland, waar in 1981 het anti-Amerikaanse verzet zo overweldigend was dat journalist en commentator Walter Laqueur het een ziekte noemde: Hollanditis. Koningin Beatrix werd naar Washington gestuurd om het Congres sussend toe te spreken. Tegelijkertijd was er knallende ruzie tussen de VS en de Europese NAVO-leden over de aanleg van een gaspijplijn van Siberië naar Duitsland. De regering-Reagan legde sancties op aan alle Europese bedrijven die aan het project meewerkten. Toen hadden we nog nooit van Nordstream gehoord. In 2003 ontstond een diepe crisis binnen de NAVO, toen Amerika Irak binnenviel. Frankrijk en Duitsland keerden zich tegen president Bush. Minister Rumsfeld van Defensie vergeleek de dwarsliggers met Libië en Cuba. Met Frankrijk liep de spanning zo hoog op dat Franse frietjes geen ‘French fries’ meer werden genoemd maar ‘freedom fries’. Over en weer heerste een stemming van haat en minachting. De afkeer van de oorlog in Irak spreidde zich uit over de hele NAVO, toen duidelijk werd dat de aanleiding voor de invasie – Iraks bezit van massavernietigingswapens – een verzinsel was. Kortom: het beeld van de NAVO als blok van nederige volgelingen van het oppermachtige Amerika is historische apekool. Voor Nederland is het extra navrant vanwege de open wond van MH17, maar dat Trump vindt dat het tijd is om de oorlog in Oekraïne te beëindigen en Poetin uit zijn isolement te halen is geen oprisping, maar een doctrine. Wij kunnen stoer toppen blijven beleggen over onderlinge samenwerking en leven zonder Amerika, maar tegen de tijd dat de EU is uitgepraat is Oekraïne allang opgedeeld en is Trump met pensioen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For more like this, join us at patreon.com/bungacast On German political derangement. Independent researcher and writer Gregor Baszak joins us to talk about German centrism being squeezed under pressure from both left and right — Sahra Wagenknecht and the AFD. Meanwhile the German economy is getting squeezed between the US and Russia, and NATO pressures Germany to up its defence spending. Is German public life remilitarising? What are the prospects for Sahra Wagenknecht's new ‘left-conservative' politics? What was the original political vision behind the Nordstream 2 pipeline? Why are Marine Le Pen and Giorgia Meloni trying to carve the AFD out of pan-European national-populist cooperation? Where does Germany now stand in relation to the Ukraine War?

“History Doesn't Repeat Itself, but It Often Rhymes” – Mark Twain. In this midweek episode of 21WIRE LIVE, host Patrick Henningsen talks with guests Mats Nilsson and Freddie Ponton about the historic parallels of the 1982 CIA sabotage of Russia's Yamal pipeline - almost identical political and economic factors as with Nord Stream pipeline sabotage in 2022. Also, we revisit the infamous "Whiskey on the Rocks" submarine incident in 1981 between Sweden and the Soviet Union under the cloud of the Cold War and an expanding NATO nuclear umbrella in Europe. All this and more.

In this special midweek edition of 21WIRE LIVE host Patrick Henningsen talks with journalist Freddie Ponton about whether Trump can avoid dragging Europe into a war over Ukraine, as Zelensky's sell-by date expires, and the Nord Stream pipeline problem reemerges as a bargaining chip between Trump and Denmark with Greenland as the negotiation piece.

Today, Martha, Matt, Bishop, and Andrew break down the latest Russia-Ukraine developments, the growing pressure on Putin, and the rising costs of war. They examine the strength of the Western alliance, the effect of sanctions against Russia, the Nord Stream 2 fallout, and whether boosting U.S. energy production could curb Europe's reliance on Russian oil. As modern warfare evolves, hybrid conflict, drone strikes, and Wagner's war crimes are reshaping security far beyond Ukraine.Will Russia's mounting losses force Putin to negotiate? How strong is the U.S. and European alliance as the war drags on? Could energy shifts change the geopolitical balance? And is modern conflict entering a dangerous new phase?Check out the answers to these questions and more in this episode of Fault Lines.Check out the sources that helped shape our expert's discussion!https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/2000262/putin-russia-revolthttps://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2025/01/29/ukrainian-drones-flew-500-miles-and-in-a-single-strike-damaged-5-of-russias-oil-refining-capacity/https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvg84r5g8d0oFollow our experts on Twitter: @marthamillerdc@WMattHayden@AndrewBorene@BishopGarrisonLike what we're doing here?

New types of snake-bite anti-venoms are designed by AI. Also, how much meat did human ancestors eat? How the Baltic Nord Stream gas pipeline rupture of 2022 was the biggest single release of methane ever caused by humans, and that Pluto met Charon, not with a bang, but more of a kiss.Using a high precision technique for spotting different isotopes of Nitrogen, Tina Lüdecke of the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry has concluded that a group of early hominin Australopithecus living in South Africa were predominantly vegetarian, putting the date that human ancestors started eating meat (and thence growing bigger brains) to more recently. The technique, she thinks, can enlighten prehistoric food webs and ecologies from millions of years ago.Last year's Nobel prizes showed the potential new techniques of AI to design synthetic proteins. Timothy P Jenkins and colleagues decided to try designing treatments for snakebite venoms, with remarkable apparent success. It could save many thousands of lives a year.Since the September 2022 explosions at the Nord Stream gas pipeline in the Baltic sea, many different analyses of how much methane was released have provided a variety of estimates. This week, scientists at the UNEP International Methane emissions observatory – including Stephen Harris - published a study estimating it to be a little under half a million tonnes, making it by far the single biggest human caused release of this most dangerous greenhouse gas. Yet, they say, even that is a tiny fraction of what is released overall around the world every year. And Finally, a new analysis of the original formation of the Pluto-Charon binary Dwarf Planetary system suggests they – and possibly many other Kuiper belt pairing – were born of a gentle astronomical dance and a peck on the cheek, rather than the catastrophic collision we associate with the earth-moon's fiery first date. And it may have lasted just a matter of days, according to author Adeene Denton of the University of Arizona.Presenter: Roland Pease Producer: Alex Mansfield Production Coordinator: Jana Bennett-Holesworth(Photo: Gorilla feeding.

From January 5, 2023: It was a few months ago that something went boom under the sea and the Nord Stream 2 pipelines were severely damaged. Everyone assumed the perpetrator was the Russian Federation because of the Russian Federation's war in Ukraine, and because the pipeline carried natural gas from Russia to Europe. But, months have gone by and evidence that Russia was behind the Nord Stream attacks has not surfaced.This was the subject of a lengthy article in the Washington Post, the lead author of which was Shane Harris. Lawfare editor-in-chief Benjamin Wittes sat down with Shane to discuss the article, what we know about the Nord Stream attacks, and what we know about who could be behind them.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.
