A lot has changed in Central Asia in the more than three years since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The region's giant neighbors -- Russia and China -- have played and will no doubt continue to play large roles in Central Asia. However, the Central Asian states have strengthened relations, economic partnerships, and export routes with other countries since February 2022, loosening, to some extent, the grip Russia and China have had over Central Asia. How much have the Central Asian states used this period to further consolidate their independence and sovereignty -- both in foreign policy and economic terms? Joining host Bruce Pannier to discuss this process are guests Nargis Kassenova, a senior fellow and director of the Program on Central Asia at Harvard University's Davis Center; Bakyt Beshimov, a former member of Kyrgyzstan's parliament and former Kyrgyz ambassador to the OSCE and India who now teaches at Northeastern University in Boston; and Temur Umarov, a fellow at the Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center in Berlin.

Today's guest is Anne Speckhard, Director of the International Center for the Study of Violent Extremism. She previously served for over two decades as Adjunct Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Georgetown University School of Medicine. She has interviewed over 800 terrorists, their family members and supporters in various parts of the world including in Western Europe, the Balkans, Central Asia, the Former Soviet Union and the Middle East, and has also been training key stakeholders in law enforcement, intelligence, educators, and other countering violent extremism professionals on the use of counter-narrative messaging materials both locally and internationally. In this episode, Alon and Anne discuss the rise in violent extremism and the causes behind it, the prospects of political violence in the US, the role of social media in promoting violent extremism and terrorism, and how violent extremist movements in the Middle East may evolve in relation to current events. Full bio Anne Speckhard, Ph.D., is Director of the International Center for the Study of Violent Extremism (ICSVE) and served for over two decades as Adjunct Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Georgetown University School of Medicine and also served as an Affiliate in the Center for Security Studies, Georgetown University. She has interviewed over 800 terrorists, violent extremists, their family members and supporters around the world, including in Western Europe, the Balkans, Central Asia, the Former Soviet Union and the Middle East. Over the past five years, she has conducted in-depth psychological interviews with 275 ISIS defectors, returnees and prisoners, as well as 16 al Shabaab cadres (as well as their family members and leaders,) studying their trajectories into and out of terrorism, and their experiences inside ISIS and al Shabaab. Speckhard developed the ICSVE Breaking the ISIS Brand Counter Narrative Project from these interviews, which includes over 250 short counter narrative videos that mimic ISIS recruitment videos but contain actual terrorists strongly denouncing ISIS as un-Islamic, corrupt and brutal. These videos have been utilized in over 200 Facebook and Instagram campaigns globally. Beginning in 2020, she launched the ICSVE Escape Hate Counter Narrative Project, interviewing 54 white supremacists and members of hate groups, developing counternarratives from their interviews, and creating anti-recruitment videos. She has also conducted rare interviews with five Antifa activists. Dr. Speckhard is also an expert in rehabilitation and repatriation of terrorists and their families. In 2007, she designed the psychological and Islamic aspects of the Detainee Rehabilitation Program in Iraq to be applied to 20,000+ detainees and 800 juveniles. This work led to consulting with foreign governments on issues of terrorist prevention, interventions and repatriation; and the rehabilitation and reintegration of ISIS foreign fighters, wives and children. She has worked individually with former terrorists from Belgium, Australia, Sweden and elsewhere. She has also worked on these issues with NATO, OSCE, UN Women, UNCTED, UNODC, the EU Commission and EU Parliament, and to the US Senate & House, Departments of State, Defense, Justice, Homeland Security, Health & Human Services, and the FBI. Dr. Speckhard actively trains key stakeholders in law enforcement, intelligence, elite hostage negotiation teams, educators, and other professionals in countering violent extremism, locally and internationally. Her focus is on the psychology of terrorism, the effective use of counter-narrative messaging materials produced by ICSVE, as well as studying the use of children as violent actors by groups such as ISIS. Her consultations and trainings include U.S., Australian, Canadian, German, British, Dutch, Austrian, Swiss, Belgian, Danish, Iraqi, Syrian, Jordanian and Thai national police and security officials, among others.

In this special episode of Disorder, you can hear some of the highlights from our first ever live show event at RUSI. To start things off, Jason Pack was joined on stage by his fellow co-hosts, Alex Hall Hall, Jane Kinninmont and Arthur Snell. The panel discussed how they experience Disorder in their own lives, as well as what they perceive makes this historic period novel.     Then, Jane and Alex departed the stage, while Arthur and Jason were joined by Neil Melvin, RUSI's Director of International Security. The trio investigated if Trump actually has a grand strategy and is deliberately accelerating the long durée US pivot to Asia or if he is merely a strategic-less deliberate Disorderer. Then the trio looked at the role Europe plays in global security, while Neil and Jason had an agreeable -- and not even staged -- disagreement about the ideal position the UK can play in global security  – should the UK continue cozying up to the US? Or seek to counterbalance it by forging new relationships and convening a coalition of orderers?    Lastly, the recording ends with a Lord of the Rings-themed question from a Mega-Ordering audience member.  If you would like to hear the rest of the audience questions and have access to the full recording, please join the pay for substack.    Producer: George McDonagh  Executive Producer: Neil Fearn    Subscribe to our Substack (paid members can listen to the whole unedited event including listener q and a): https://natoandtheged.substack.com/    Show Notes Links:  More on the RUSI Disorder partnership - https://www.rusi.org/news-and-comment/rusi-news/rusi-announces-partnership-disorder-podcast     Become RUSI members for more of their brilliant content:  https://my.rusi.org/membership.html     And From Neil Melvin Read:  Europe's attitude to Trump is dangerously naive.

Vào thời điểm cuộc xâm lược Nga chống Ukraina kéo dài đã hơn ba năm và các nỗ lực to lớn của phương Tây hỗ trợ Kiev và trừng phạt Nga đã không đủ để giúp chấm dứt chiến tranh, giới chuyên gia, chiến lược gia đặt ra nhiều câu hỏi về tương lai chung của an ninh châu Âu. Làm thế nào để chấm dứt cuộc chiến tranh có nguy cơ châm ngòi cho một xung đột quy mô toàn châu lục, thậm chí toàn cầu ? Năm nay 2025 là tròn 50 năm Hiệp định Helsinki. Hiệp định, được ký kết ngày 01/08/1975 tại thủ đô Phần Lan thời Chiến tranh Lạnh, là kết quả của hai năm đàm phán trong khuôn khổ của Hội nghị về An ninh và Hợp tác châu Âu (CSCE) (1973 – 1994) (thường được gọi là « tiến trình Helsinki ») cho phép mở ra thời kỳ tan băng giữa khối phương Tây và khối cộng sản, đứng đầu là Hoa Kỳ và Liên Xô, hai siêu cường hạt nhân. Tuyên bố 10 điểm Helsinki được ký kết bởi tất cả các quốc gia thành viên hai tổ chức quân sự thù địch, Liên minh phòng thủ Bắc Đại Tây Dương – NATO và Hiệp ước Varsava.Hiệp định Helsinki: Nền móng của « Kiến trúc an ninh châu Âu »Các nguyên tắc của Hiệp định Helsinki, như tôn trọng chủ quyền quốc gia, toàn vẹn lãnh thổ, giải quyết các tranh chấp bằng con đường hòa bình, không can thiệp vào công việc nội bộ của nhau, tôn trọng quyền con người và các quyền tự do cơ bản, tăng cường hợp tác giữa các nước… là thỏa hiệp mà hai khối đạt được. Theo nhiều nhà quan sát, Hiệp định này đã cho phép Liên Xô cải thiện hình ảnh trên trường quốc tế sau các đàn áp tàn bạo nhắm vào phong trào dân chủ Mùa xuân Praha năm 1968. Về phía các nước phương Tây, một thành công căn bản là lần đầu tiên nhân quyền được coi là một vấn đề an ninh trong quan hệ giữa các quốc gia.Hiệp định Helsinki tiếp tục có ý nghĩa quan trọng sau khi bức tường Berlin sụp đổ, Liên Xô tan rã. Năm 1990, sau khi bức tường Berlin sụp đổ, Hội nghị về An ninh và Hợp tác châu Âu – CSCE, họp tại Paris, đã ra một « Hiến chương Paris vì một châu Âu mới » ghi nhận sự chấm dứt của thời kỳ Chiến tranh Lạnh. Với Hiến chương Paris vì một châu Âu mới, CSCE có các cơ quan thường trực, như Ban thư ký, hay Trung tâm ngăn ngừa các xung đột, và các cơ chế can thiệp, để sẵn sàng đối phó với các thách thức của kỷ nguyên hậu Chiến tranh Lạnh. Đọc thêm : Hiệp định tên lửa Mỹ - Liên Xô 1987 bên bờ tan vỡ ? (INF, ký ngày 08/12/1987, là một đóng góp quan trọng giúp chấm dứt cuộc Chiến tranh lạnh giữa hai siêu cường)Tổ chức An ninh và Hợp tác châu Âu (OSCE), kế tục Hội nghị CSCE từ năm 1995, đã mở ra khả năng quản lý các xung đột của thời kỳ hậu Chiến tranh Lạnh tại châu Âu bằng con đường hòa bình. Hiệp định Helsinki và các cơ chế, tổ chức phát sinh, cùng với các hiệp ước cắt giảm và kiểm soát vũ khí chiến lược Mỹ - Liên Xô và sau này là Mỹ - Nga, đã cho phép tạo lập lòng tin giữa các nước có chế độ chính trị khác nhau. Hiệp định Helsinki được coi là nền tảng của « kiến trúc an ninh châu Âu » trong nhiều thập niên.Chiến tranh Ukraina và Hiệp định Helsinki, từ suy yếu đến tan vỡĐông đảo chuyên gia, nhà quan sát ghi nhận là cuộc xâm lược Ukraina của Nga đã báo tử « trật tự an ninh của châu Âu », được xác lập từ năm 1975 với Hiệp định Helsinki. Cựu đại sứ Pháp Pierre Vimont, nguyên tổng thư ký điều hành của cơ quan đối ngoại Liên Âu, tức nhân vật số hai của ngành ngoại giao Liên Âu (2010-2015), trong bài viết « Một trật tự an ninh châu Âu mới », nhấn mạnh với « chiến dịch quân sự đặc biệt » tại Ukraina, điện Kremlin đã tấn công vào « chủ quyền và toàn vẹn lãnh thổ », những nguyên tắc căn bản nhất của Hiệp định Helsinki, nền tảng của thế cân bằng tại châu Âu được xác lập một cách gian nan vào năm 1975. « Hợp tác kinh tế được dày công vun đắp từ hơn 40 năm qua bị hủy hoại với các đòn trừng phạt kinh tế và tài chính của phương Tây » nhắm vào Nga, « quan hệ giữa các xã hội dân sự, thành tố chủ chốt thứ ba của Hiệp định Helsinki, cũng đứng trước nguy cơ bị cắt đứt hoàn toàn do cuộc xung đột với các áp lực tẩy chay văn hóa Nga và xã hội Nga ».Cựu đại sứ Pháp Pierre Vimont ghi nhận việc kiến trúc an ninh châu Âu, ra đời với Hiệp định Helsinki, trên thực tế, đã suy yếu nghiêm trọng từ lâu trước khi Nga mở màn cuộc xâm lăng Ukraina, đặc biệt với cuộc can thiệp quân sự của Nga tại Gruzia, quốc gia thuộc Liên Xô cũ, vào năm 2008 (sau khi Mỹ để ngỏ khả năng Gruzia gia nhập khối NATO) và việc Nga thôn tính bán đảo Crimée năm 2014 và hậu thuẫn các lực lượng ly khai miền đông Ukraina, sau chính biến Maidan, đầu 2014, lật đổ lãnh đạo thân Nga Viktor Yanukovych.Tái xây dựng lòng tin hay đại cường phân chia thế giới: Hướng đến « Helsinki II » hay « Yalta II » ?Trước thềm cuộc xâm lăng Ukraina, cuối năm 2021, đầu năm 2022, Matxcơva liên tục phát đi các tín hiệu đòi phương Tây, trước hết là Mỹ, xem xét lại « kiến trúc an ninh châu Âu », đòi khối NATO không tiếp tục mở rộng sang phía đông, không kết nạp Ukraina, đồng thời giảm sự hiện diện quân sự tại các nước thành viên mới của NATO tại khu vực thuộc khối Đông Âu cộng sản trước đây, như Ba Lan, Rumani hay các nước Baltic. Đọc thêm : Châu Âu không muốn một Yalta II mà Nga đang cố áp đặt Đề nghị lúc đó của Nga đã bị Mỹ và các nước châu Âu bác bỏ. Ngoại trưởng Pháp vào thời điểm đó, Jean-Yves Le Drian, nhận định là đòi hỏi của Nga « rất giống với việc quay trở lại hiện trạng trước năm 1975, tức là một kiểu Yalta II, sẽ dẫn đến việc hình thành trở lại các khối, các vùng ảnh hưởng ». Hội nghị Yalta, rồi hội nghị Potsdam, diễn ra năm 1945, sau Thế Chiến Hai, được coi là các sự kiện có ý nghĩa biểu tượng cho việc các cường quốc thắng trận, Mỹ và Liên Xô, phân chia các khu vực kiểm soát.Ngoại trưởng Pháp nhấn mạnh là, để chống lại một « Yalta II », « cần phát triển một chiến lược thúc đẩy một Helsinki II, theo tinh thần những cam kết mà toàn bộ các nước ký kết các hiệp định Helsinki đã đưa ra năm 1975, trong đó có Liên Xô vào thời điểm đó, được tiếp nối với Hiến chương Paris (vì một châu Âu mới) năm 1990 ».Liên Âu tê liệt về « tư duy chiến lược » trước thời điểm sống cònVấn đề là để thúc đẩy được tinh thần Helsinki 1975, hướng đến xác lập một « Helsinki II », làm nền tảng cho một « kiến trúc an ninh châu Âu mới », các nước châu Âu phải xác lập được một tư duy chiến lược chung, trong đó quan hệ như thế nào với Nga là vấn đề cốt lõi. Nội bộ châu Âu phân rẽ sâu sắc về vấn đề này, từ nhiều năm nay. Trước chiến tranh Ukraina, các nỗ lực cải thiện quan hệ với Nga của nhiều lãnh đạo ngoại giao Liên Âu, từ Federica Mogherini đến Joseph Borell, đều không thuyết phục được Matxcơva. Kể từ khi chiến tranh bùng nổ, việc thảo luận về chủ đề này coi như kết thúc.Theo nhà ngoại giao Pháp Pierre Vimont, có một hố sâu ngăn cách giữa nhóm các nước cho rằng không thể đối thoại với Nga (đa số là các nạn nhân trước đây của đế chế Nga và Liên Xô), coi Nga là một đe dọa sinh tồn, và các nước cổ vũ cho việc mở ra các cơ hội đối thoại để vượt qua tình trạng mất lòng tin song phương. Đọc thêm : Chính sách quan hệ với Nga : Liên Hiệp Châu Âu và sự « chia năm xẻ bảy »Trong một cuộc trả lời Viện Nghiên cứu Cao cấp về Quốc phòng (IHEDN - Institut des hautes études de défense nationale) Pháp vào thời điểm hơn hai năm chiến tranh Nga - Ukraina, nhà chính trị học Barbara Kunz, giám đốc chương trình An ninh châu Âu của Viện Nghiên cứu về Hòa bình Quốc tế ở Stockholm (SIPRI) nhận định :« Tôi cho rằng tại châu Âu, thảo luận về vấn đề này sẽ rất là phức tạp, bởi có hai trường phái. Thứ nhất là những nước cho rằng cần phải cô lập Nga hoàn toàn, cụ thể như hoàn toàn không chấp nhận sự có mặt của các đại diện của Nga trong các hội nghị của Tổ chức An ninh và Hợp tác châu Âu OSCE. Và thứ hai là các nước có quan điểm gọi là ‘‘thực tế''. Những nước này trong lúc luôn cảnh giác về đe dọa từ Nga, nhưng khẳng định cần phải tìm ra các cách thức cho phép ít nhất là sống bên cạnh Nga, cho dù không thể cùng chung sống với Nga. Tìm ra được những cách thức hợp tác tối thiểu, ví dụ như trong việc kiểm soát vũ khí, để tránh leo thang, tìm thấy các cơ chế đối thoại để tránh tình hình trở nên tồi tệ hơn hiện nay. »Nước Mỹ của Trump: Bị đẩy vào chân tường, châu Âu buộc phải hướng đến « tự chủ chiến lược »Theo chuyên gia về an ninh châu Âu Viện Nghiên cứu về Hòa bình Quốc tế Stockholm, đối thoại để tìm kiếm một kiến trúc an ninh mới cho châu Âu một phần đáng kể bị cản trở do sự bất đồng cao độ và thái độ thụ động của đông đảo các nước châu Âu, lập trường của Mỹ có ý nghĩa quyết định trong bối cảnh này:« Cuộc thảo luận về tương lai của kiến trúc an ninh châu Âu, tôi có cảm giác là chưa thực sự bắt đầu. Hiện tại, chúng ta đang tập trung vào chiến tranh tại Ukraina, điều hoàn toàn có thể thông cảm được. Để nói một cách tóm lược, các nước ở sườn đông châu Âu, như các nước vùng Baltic, Ba Lan, Rumani, và những nước khác vốn có những kinh nghiệm lịch sử với Nga, khiến họ có thái độ hoài nghi cao độ về khả năng cùng tồn tại với Nga. Nước Đức có quan điểm như thế nào ? Về mặt lịch sử, trong thời kỳ Chiến tranh Lạnh, Đức thiên về phía các nước có quan điểm thực tế, tức tìm kiếm các khả năng chung sống với Nga. Điều này còn để xem. Nước Pháp tôi cho rằng cũng theo quan điểm thực tế. Các nước phía nam châu Âu, tôi nghĩ cũng tương tự, không nghi ngờ gì về đe dọa của Nga, nhưng đối với nhiều nước, đây không phải là chủ đề ưu tiên. Tôi cho rằng, rất nhiều điều trong vấn đề này phụ thuộc vào vai trò dẫn dắt của Mỹ. Bởi các nước châu Âu rất khó đạt đồng thuận về tiếp cận chung cần theo đuổi. » Đọc thêm : Tự chủ chiến lược của Liên Hiệp Châu Âu là một viễn cảnh xa vời (Lãnh đạo đảng bảo thủ Đức năm 2022 phản đối châu Âu "tự chủ chiến lược")Việc Donald Trump trở lại Nhà Trắng đầu năm 2025 này, và các chính sách của Washington trong những tuần cầm quyền đầu tiên của Trump cho thấy quan hệ hai bờ Đại Tây Dương bước vào một giai đoạn đầy bất định. Tân tổng thống Mỹ coi việc chấm dứt chiến tranh là ưu tiên cho dù có phải chấp nhận nhiều nhân nhượng với Nga, và việc hậu thuẫn Ukraina được coi gần như là chuyện riêng của châu Âu, khối NATO mà Mỹ là trụ cột sẽ không can dự.Bảo vệ Ukraina và tái lập quan hệ với Nga: Thách thức của một « kiến trúc an ninh châu Âu » mớiViệc đảng Cộng Hòa cầm quyền tại Mỹ là tác nhân trực tiếp kích phát trở lại đòi hỏi « tự chủ chiến lược » của châu Âu, vốn bị nhiều quốc gia chủ chốt của châu Âu như Đức không mặn mà. Hôm nay, 06/03/2025, Liên Hiệp Châu Âu họp thượng đỉnh để bàn về việc tăng cường tiềm lực quốc phòng của khối và hỗ trợ quân sự cho Ukraina. « Tự chủ chiến lược » bao gồm cả hai vế, quân sự và ngoại giao. Đọc thêm : Liên Hiệp Châu Âu phải làm gì để tự chủ về quốc phòng ? (Pháp thúc đẩy Liên Âu xác lập "la bàn chiến lược")Theo nhà ngoại giao Pháp Pierre Vimont, nguyên tổng thư ký điều hành của cơ quan đối ngoại Liên Âu, bên cạnh việc dành sự hậu thuẫn quân sự mạnh mẽ để giúp Ukraina tự vệ, Liên Hiệp Châu Âu cần chuẩn bị xác lập quan hệ hợp tác với Nga sau chiến tranh. Nhà ngoại giao, được tổng thống Pháp Emmanuel Macron bổ nhiệm làm đại diện đặc biệt của tổng thống trong các đối thoại vì « một kiến trúc an ninh châu Âu và xây dựng niềm tin với Nga » trước khi chiến tranh bùng nổ, lưu ý đến bài học lịch sử : tổng thống Mỹ Franklin Roosevelt không phải đợi đến khi Thế chiến Hai kết thúc mới chuẩn bị cho việc xây dựng một hệ thống quốc tế mới, và « những người sáng lập » Liên Âu cũng đã chuẩn bị nền móng cho việc xây dựng khối, nhiều năm trước 1945. Đọc thêm - Cuộc chiến vệ quốc chống Nga: Ukraina và Liên Âu ngày càng ‘‘vận mệnh tương liên''Cũng nhà ngoại giao kỳ cựu này, trong một bài viết với nhan đề « Châu Âu và Ukraina : Lấy lại thế chủ động » (nguyên văn « Europe et Ukraine : reprendre l'initiative », Viện nghiên cứu châu Âu Jacques Delors), ra mắt cuối tháng 1/2025, nhấn mạnh : « Thời kỳ bất ổn sẽ còn kéo dài trên lục địa châu Âu, do các đe dọa Nga, không cho phép trật tự Helsinki trở lại nhanh chóng. Nhưng thời kỳ căng thẳng không tránh khỏi diễn ra trong quá trình xác lập hòa bình tại Ukraina này sẽ là một trắc nghiệm đối với khả năng của châu Âu vươn lên để trở thành một thực thể địa chính trị độc lập, điều mà người châu Âu mong muốn ».Thách thức với châu Âu không phải chỉ là tái lập quan hệ với Nga để xây dựng một kiến trúc an ninh mới cho châu Âu, mà còn là « sáng tạo nên một cơ chế đa phương quốc tế mới ». Trong bối cảnh cơ chế đa phương quốc tế được xác lập sau Thế chiến Hai đang « sụp đổ », cộng đồng quốc tế đang cần đến các cơ chế hợp tác mới giữa các nước phương Tây với các nước phương Nam toàn cầu, để hóa giải hàng loạt thách thức sống còn với nhân loại, như đại khủng hoảng khí hậu.

Tajikistan has been acknowledged by Freedom House as one of the worst human rights violators for years, but 2025 has seen Tajik authorities take repression to new levels. Eight former government officials and political opposition figures were convicted at a closed-door trial of plotting a coup and given lengthy prison sentences. In addition, a journalist was convicted of treason for reporting on Tajik citizens' opinions on Chinese influence in their country, and the OSCE said it would not observe Tajikistan's March 2 parliamentary elections because Tajik authorities failed to give assurances of accreditation. Joining host Bruce Pannier to discuss events in Tajikistan in early 2025 are guests Muhamadjon Kabirov, editor at Azda.tv, a media outlet run by exile Tajik journalists; Edward Lemon, the president of the Washington-based Oxus Society for Central Asian Affairs; and Steve Swerdlow, a rights lawyer who is currently an associate professor at the University of Southern California.

This is your host, Jack Gaines. 1CA is a product of the Civil Affairs Association and brings in people who are current or former military, diplomats, development officers, and field agents to discuss their experiences on ground with the partner nation's people and leadership. Our goal is to inspire anyone interested in working the last three feet of foreign relations. To contact the show, email us at capodcasting@gmail.com. Or look us up on the Civil Affairs Association website at www.civilaffairsassos.org. I'll have those in the show notes. 00:00:39    Colleen Ryan My name is Colleen Ryan. I'm currently the Border Advisor to the OSC in Vienna. I'm seconded by the United States. So I do need to make it clear that I'm not speaking on behalf of the OSC or on the broader political or organizational context right now. I'm specifically focusing on my work and my experiences. Wow. You're seconded? What does that mean? Yeah, I'm essentially loaned out by the U .S. to the OSCE to serve in this role. They pay my salary. 00:01:13    Jack Nice. How did you get nominated? Where do you normally work? 00:01:15    COLLEEN RYAN In a past life, I was a police officer back in the U .S. before transitioning to working internationally. So I came to find out about OSCE and opportunities while I was doing my master's back in the States. And then I just ended up applying for the special monitoring mission to Ukraine. So I was out there as a monitoring officer up until Russia's full -scale invasion. And then went back during the war with a non -governmental organization working on humanitarian protection in the South. And then made my way to this current role. That's great. So you've been part of living history in a way. Yeah, to be out in Donetsk up until a couple days before the invasion. Working with border guards all across Europe and the changing security landscape has been an interesting role so far. 00:02:04    JACK GAINES So you've lived what soldiers call the moment before. There's a feel in the air, and it makes you edgy, it makes you a little twitchy, because you know that you're about to go down with an enemy. And so did you get that sense? Did you get that feel that things were coming close in Donetsk? 00:02:23    COLLEEN RYAN We were there at the time to monitor the Minsk agreements, which was a ceasefire at the time. It wasn't until when the U .S. evacuated all U .S. personnel that you started to realize that, you know, it may actually happen. 00:02:36    JACK GAINES Right. And so your current position is now training the border guards of Ukraine. 00:02:44    COLLEEN RYAN Yes, I manage a project that trains border guards across the OSCE, specifically on detecting porch documents and imposters. So if it's a forged passport presented at the airport or at the road crossing or for the train, we train the border guards, whether it's from Ukraine, Moldova, Bulgaria, Albania. So it really depends on the needs of OSC participating states in this realm. It's obviously a field that requires recurrent training because travel documents like passports are constantly updated. that national authorities can stay ahead of forgers. So it is something that we have to continue training on. And with the current war against Ukraine, they have the most need. They're one of the bigger border services in Europe. And then just the need in terms of half their border guard is currently engaged in combat operations, while you have the rest who are working to secure their western and southern borders and the surge in western and southern border crossings with the closure of Ukraine's airspace. You know, all of that contributes to an ongoing need for these skills and updated training on detecting passport forgeries and detecting imposters. And then you see that on the flip side with Moldova, they've seen a surge in the border crossings because a lot evacuated from Ukraine into Moldova. A lot of humanitarian NGOs and other people now fly into Kijanel to go to Ukraine. And so they've seen just a huge... spike in terms of the number of travel documents and also diversity in terms of different countries, different types of documents. And so that's why we've also been training Moldovan border police as well. 00:04:29    JACK GAINES Sure. So you're there to teach them how to spot forged documents, but is there also a follow on either by that nation's foreign affairs office or their law enforcement that tries to find the forger and remove them? 00:04:43    COLLEEN RYAN Yeah, there is very likely follow on. in terms of criminal investigations when they find forged documents or if they identify an imposter. But our project primarily focuses on those who are working on the first line and second line document checks to just spot the person posing as someone else. And then we do some work with the forensic experts after the fact to make sure that they've got that next level of training as part of their investigations. But primarily it's focusing on the first and second line officers. 00:05:14    JACK GAINES I'm sure they see all kinds of crazy stuff. Everything from the amateur glue stick to people who actually have passport printer creating forged documents. 00:05:24    COLLEEN RYAN Yeah, it's sad and it's also really interesting, the surge in the use of artificial intelligence and seeing the ways that they're incorporating things like morphing into the passport to their forgeries where two people can now travel on one passport using morphing images and things like that. It really just shows how quickly this field in terms of document forgeries is evolving and how much border services are struggling to keep up and to maintain their training so they can spot these techniques. Right, which is why they're starting to put chips and other special films that have a radio signature and stuff like that. 00:05:53    JACK GAINES they're starting to put chips and other special films that have a radio signature and stuff like that. You could print it, but to actually find those films or chips that have that radio signature has got to be a lot tougher. 00:06:08    COLLEEN RYAN Yeah, and a lot of it is just down to, like, Order guards are under a lot of stress and pressure and they don't have much time to spot the fakes. They're getting crushed by people. Yeah. So a lot of it is just making sure that they can spot some of these easier to identify orgery trends and to make a quicker decision before it gets to the point of really having to do an in -depth examination of the document. 00:06:32    JACK GAINES Yeah, I would imagine that you would see forgery trends because people would be going to the same forger and they would be doing similar patterns until that turned away. 00:06:41    COLLEEN RYAN Yeah. 00:06:41    JACK GAINES And what's it like working with all these different border guards from different countries? I mean, everyone has got to be a little different, but the same. 00:06:49    COLLEEN RYAN For me, it's interesting because I'm one of the few who has worked in policing, worked in this operational arena, kind of understands a lot of what they've done. And so you kind of speak the same language. It's interesting to hear from them, like what they view as their biggest security challenges and what their biggest day -to -day challenges are in terms of their work life. Because you see common trends across a lot of the services. A lot of them can be underpaid and that contributes to staff turnover. And so then that means you go back to a country to do more training because you have new staffs. But then to see how a country's security... You know, their perspective in terms of their biggest border security threats in Albania, where I trained in June, might be different from Bulgaria, where I trained last month. But, you know, it's still the commonalities of document forgeries, imposters, making sure your airports are secure and things like that. So I like talking with the border guards, such a different perspective across each country. Right. 00:07:51    JACK GAINES I think that's really helpful that you have a law enforcement background. helps break that ice. 00:07:58    COLLEEN RYAN I understand the perspective, but we're really just there to help and to fill the gaps that their service might not have the time or the funding to provide additional training because they've got the whole spectrum of border security issues to deal with within their service. And so that's where our organization or other international organizations doing these types of projects come in is just fill the gaps and help them develop their capacity. Especially with some other countries we train for where Frontex, maybe they're not working in that country. So then we can help supplement other EU or Frontex or IOM or UN initiatives and help to harmonize border security standards across Europe, South Caucasus, Central Asia. 00:08:45    JACK GAINES I don't want to just keep circling around Ukraine. Is there any stories you have from some of the other countries you worked with? What's your favorite beer hall story on those? 00:08:53    COLLEEN RYAN Yeah, I mean, most of my stories are with Ukraine because I've trained Ukraine so much. So I'm happy to talk about that. Yeah, I feel very fortunate so far in the last year and a half to have trained almost 50 Ukraine border guards. And I was able to go to meet with their administration and their main forensic center in June to do a needs assessment to see how we could keep supporting. to make sure we weren't duplicating efforts from other international organizations or other bilateral initiatives there because we do know it's a crowded space there. 00:09:28    JACK GAINES I'm sure talking to them, you could figure out pretty quickly what those border guards needed, even if they were getting training from two or three organizations, if they weren't hitting it on the head. Yeah. And what was nice for us is we were able to actually shadow them on their train from out west as entered from. 00:09:38    COLLEEN RYAN was nice for us is we were able to actually shadow them on their train from out west as entered from. Shamashil, Poland, and went to Lviv. And so we got to board on the Ukrainian side and just seeing what they're dealing with in terms of doing document checks aboard the trains now and the different challenges they have with that as opposed to what it would be like to check a document at the airport. It's a very different perspective and it gives you insights on things like lighting and being able to see different security features in the passport. With the lighting on the train and the time of day when they're doing the document check, the technical equipment that they have aboard and that may not be connecting to the cell tower or have service as the train moves. And so it gives you a different perspective to actually be there and see it instead of just hearing about it over a Zoom call or in a sterile training environment. And so then building on that. We've been able to take some of those lessons learned and put them into our training where we're encouraging them and reminding them to say, hey, how would you see this in different types of light settings, running different types of simulations, so it more accurately reflects the conditions that they'll be doing the document checks in. So what's coming up next? 00:10:57    JACK GAINES What's the future of training? Do you have anything interesting coming up that you want to promote? 00:11:02    COLLEEN RYAN Yes, through the rest of the year, we have a couple more study visits. And these are important because they help the border guards to learn from other counterparts. They will look through how this country that they're visiting manages their forgery desk at an airport or in their border service. And it really helps with networking and sharing more information in terms of what they're seeing in terms of detecting trends or alerts on forged documents. We've got a couple of study visits coming up next week. I'll be in Madrid with another group from Ukraine. The following week, I'll be with Albania and Milan. And then a week after that, I'll be in Dublin, Ireland with forensic experts from Ukraine's border service to round out the year. So it's a busy stretch right now. That's very cool. 00:11:50    JACK GAINES Do these multinational engagements, do they ever end up with countries with border guards doing a bilateral agreement on border protection? Or do they ever work on... building something like Eurogest, where if they find a forger from multiple countries, they'll work together to try to find out where the route is. Is that multinational cooperation starting to build, or have you seen it? 00:12:14    COLLEEN RYAN On a smaller level with us, we do see that. So at the operational level with these border guards, even in -country, being able to message colleagues around their own country. Or the experts that do our trainings are active document experts serving in their border service. So now they've got another resource, say, if we're using experts from Spain or the Netherlands or UK or Italy, then these trainees now have another resource to flag potential trends and forge documents or to ask questions if they're unsure. And then, you know, moving ahead, we'll be looking to do some more joint training between two or three countries. Especially if we do it with bordering countries, it will really help that collaboration to, say, connect the two participating states. And now they've got operational contacts to ping across the border to say, hey, we're seeing this. What are you seeing? Things like that. So it's a good opportunity for us to foster that collaboration and increase the information sharing with us through the training or study visits. Right. Because it's so important to have that contact. 00:13:23    JACK GAINES to have that contact. It's one thing when you see an issue and you want to reach out and you have to make that cold call and figure out who's the right person. It's better if you've made a contact, you know someone from training, you can just say, hey, what's this and what's going on? And they can just plug you in with the right person and then Zoom. You know, a problem's fixed versus making it a whole, oh, you have to talk to our embassy and our embassy has to write our embassy. And so it's great that those kind of cross -border contacts are being made because. Even though so much of Europe is dominated by the Schengen, there's still issues with legal immigration and criminal movement that each country still monitors what's going on and partners. And then those that are outside the Schengen zone, it's just as important for them to actually have that contact so they can partner and work on things to quickly spot forgeries, theft, criminal activity, then stop it before it becomes rampant. So that's awesome. 00:14:22    COLLEEN RYAN And it's just it's it's the first building block of really increasing that cooperation, especially with your neighboring state and contributing towards that angle of integrated border management and jointly managed VCP. So even being able to have frontline document inspectors from two neighboring countries being able to reach out, that's just your first building block to building that relationship. So, yeah, it's always useful to have those contacts. Must be fun to be in the middle of it. Yeah. And it's really rewarding. To get your group of border officers on day one, you've got 20 to 30 border officers from all across their country, wherever we're training, they're virtual strangers, and to see them learn to open up and engage and to learn from our experts and then start to share some of their challenges with me and to build those relationships, whether it's in a group or with our experts or with OSCE, it's super rewarding because then you just get to keep building from there and asking, okay, what's next? What do you need next in addition to these document trainings? What do your forensic experts need or what do your border control officers need? So, yeah, it's really rewarding to be able to deliver when you've got the funding and you've got the interest of participating states and to help them manage their borders better. 00:15:37    JACK GAINES You know, we kind of forgot to talk about who OSCE is, Organization for Security Cooperation in Europe. You want to give me a brief overview of what the organization is? Yes. But it does. 00:15:50    COLLEEN RYAN Yeah. So the OSCE is world's largest regional security organization, the state of 57 participating states. And we operate on a consensus -based approach where all participating states have to agree. And we utilize an approach of comprehensive security. And so this really helps us to support our participating states in developing. their security sector and to enhance resilience and to develop capacity to address transnational threats. So my border security management unit is situated within the Transnational Threats Department. So that's our goal is to help participating states build their capacity to confront a wide array of transnational threats that can harm their national security and pan security more broadly. Right. Now, when I think security, I think of NATO. 00:16:38    JACK GAINES I think of NATO. So you've got to be a little different. NATO is, of course, a military organization that deals with security from conflict, either deterrence or response to conflict or crisis, disaster. What is it that OSCE does in terms of security? 00:16:55    COLLEEN RYAN Our three dimensions are political, military, economic and environmental, and human dimension. So what you would traditionally think of as human rights. And so being able to take that comprehensive approach opens up. a library of opportunities for us in terms of what we can provide support on. And so my unit's mandate stems from our border security management concept that the OSC Ministerial Council adopted in 2005. So our mandate in terms of border security is pretty broad. And I think our bread and butter really is helping to develop capacity of our participating states and providing technical assistance. I mean, our unique added value is that we can provide this tailored approach and we're pretty responsive when participating states do approach us with needs. So it's a bit different from NATO since we're not providing military support. We're looking at long -term institutional capacity buildings, whether it's in border security, policing, security sector agencies. That's the core of our work. And can you talk about what the application process was like to get involved? It's different for each job. So OSC, you either have secondments, like when I am on, where your national authority nominates you, or you have the professional contract where OSC directly hires you. So for mine, I had to apply through my seconding authority in the U .S., and I was competing amongst the Americans who wanted to be nominated. And so then once I got past that, then the U .S. put my name forward in the process, and then it was straight into the OSC hiring process. It's a written exam, and then it was an oral interview, and then it's shortlisted, and you go from there. But if it's a contracted offer, obviously you skip the secondment stage of it, and it's applying straight to OSC in the typical HR process. So it's a little different. You just have to look at the job posting and if it's a secondment or not. 00:19:01    JACK GAINES They give you a salary. 00:19:02    COLLEEN RYAN Do they give you a housing allowance? 00:19:02    JACK GAINES give you a housing allowance? 00:19:04    COLLEEN RYAN Yeah, it's about when I was paying in the U .S. The really fun expense was moving my cats over. So that it's a week in a housing allowance. But it's different for contracted. So it really just depends on which job you're going for, contracted or second. 00:19:22    JACK GAINES Had you traveled internationally before you joined this position? 00:19:26    COLLEEN RYAN Yeah, I had traveled quite a bit. Back when I was still a police officer, I liked to take my leave time to go over to Europe. So I did travel a bit. But never officially. It was always first travel. It was always tourist travel. Yeah, no, I had very, very little duty travel as a cop. 00:19:43    JACK GAINES But I bet that travel helped with your application to say, yeah, I've been to Europe and I've toured around, even though I was a tourist. 00:19:50    COLLEEN RYAN Yeah, and travel is just a great educator. And I know it's expensive and not everyone can do it. Travel just gives you good life experience, especially if you're doing it solo and traveling in Europe and interacting with different cultures and just finding your way and being able to navigate and step outside of your American comfort zone. If you're looking to work internationally, in addition, obviously, to the job experience and language and whatnot, travel is just such a good educator and a good way to end your horizons. Right. And I'll tell you what, traveling and living someplace, 00:20:23    JACK GAINES living someplace, It's a whole new experience because you learned the trains when you traveled, but now you got to find out, get a lease and what that takes. 00:20:32    COLLEEN RYAN Yeah. And then if you don't speak German or you don't speak the local English, that adds another layer of complexity. So yeah, you're absolutely right. The difference between living somewhere and traveling is huge. 00:20:43    JACK GAINES But it's fun. And actually, once you've lived overseas, you start to do quirky things, I find. Like, I'll travel and I'll go to a grocery store just to see how they do their business there. Yeah. You know, you go to restaurants, but see how laundry is done or, you know, just how the public services are done because you think, man, if I had to live here, I'd have to drag my trash to the backyard this time. Or over here, they take it on the street or the Germans, they have to have a lockbox. 00:21:12    COLLEEN RYAN What's been really interesting for me is my American friends hear me speak now and they think I'm starting to lose my accent and I can't tell where I'm from or I'll... interact with Europeans over here and they can't quite pick up on my American accent and I think I'm from the UK or Ireland or Australia. So that's been a really interesting experience because I don't think about it. I just talk and just the little things that come when you're living abroad. 00:21:37    SPEAKER_00 Okay. I think we got everything we wanted. Is there anything left that you want to draw on the table? 00:21:44    COLLEEN RYAN As I've mentioned, I firmly believe that any type of security cooperation, defense cooperation is built on relationships and trust. And so there's two of the Ukrainians in particular that I've become close with because they joined our training last year. And then this year they served as trainers for us and they've joined a few study visits. And so through that, we've developed trust and become friends. So now it's gotten to a point where they know I'm a huge Swifty. Oh, no. 00:22:14    SPEAKER_01 no. 00:22:16    COLLEEN RYAN You're a Swifty? Yeah. 00:22:16    SPEAKER_01 a Swifty? 00:22:19    COLLEEN RYAN So they'll ask, oh, what's the Taylor Swift song we should listen to for this trip? Or what's your favorite Taylor Swift song these days? And it's just a funny example of how this all starts with just building those relationships and getting people's trust when you're working with your partner nations. Sure. 00:22:38    SPEAKER_01 I thought maybe you brought Taylor Swift to the border and you couldn't get her across. 00:22:44    COLLEEN RYAN No, but I did give them Taylor Swift friendship bracelets when I was in Ukraine in June. 00:22:50    SPEAKER_01 Oh my gosh. I was going to say, next time you see them, they'll be like, hey, still have my Taylor Swift. They had them in London last week, so they still have them. 00:22:57    COLLEEN RYAN week, so they 00:23:02    SPEAKER_01 They probably feel obligated, like I can't take it off. She'll think less of me. 00:23:10    SPEAKER_01 It was quite funny. Cool. 00:23:14    SPEAKER_01 But yeah, you're right. It's those relationships, right? You build them and then you can reach out and the people are there. It's so much easier than a cold call. So much easier. That's half the job. 00:23:25    COLLEEN RYAN On one hand, you can joke about Taylor Swift, but then on the other, they can come to you with more training needs or more requests for specific areas of engagement. 00:23:34    SPEAKER_01 Yeah, they know they're safe to do it. Yeah, exactly. By just talking to you. Yeah. 00:23:39    SPEAKER_01 Well, cool. Okay. Well, I got it. And I will say just one more thing that I should mention. 00:23:43    COLLEEN RYAN I will say just one more thing that I should mention. I'm able to do all this work because I'm very lucky that the U .S. mission has fully funded my project and recognize the importance of OSCE as a multilateral line of effort to strengthen international security and broaden our engagement. Honestly, the amount of funding they've given me has been a huge boost and really made this work possible. So I feel like I have to give them a shout out here. 00:24:11    SPEAKER_01 Cool. All right, Coley. Well, thanks a bunch. All right.

Russia Is Losing the War in Ukraine, says a former senior US diplomat. In today's interview I'm honoured to be joined by Ambassador James Gilmore, who explains the broader consequences of Russia's actions and what's at stake if the international community fails to push back against Putin's aggressive imperialist and expansionist ambitions. As a Trump-era diplomat James Gilmore has had firsthand experience of negotiating with the US's European partners and our common Russian foe. ---------- James Gilmore was the former US Ambassador to the OSCE during the first administration of President-elect Donald Trump. A member of the Republican Party, Gilmore also chaired the Republican National Committee in 2001 and served as the U.S. Ambassador to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe during the first Trump administration. In 1997 James Gilmore was elected as Governor of Virginia with a majority of 56%, where improvements to education quality and teacher numbers formed one of his key manifesto policies. ---------- KYIV POST INTERVIEW: Russia is losing: Former Trump Admin Insider Speaks Out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhS-Gi4mrwk ---------- LINKS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Gilmore https://caprifoundation.org/james-s-gilmore-iii/ https://ua.usembassy.gov/tag/ambassador-james-s-gilmore-iii/ https://www.nga.org/governor/james-s-gilmore/ ---------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain ---------- TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND: Save Ukraine https://www.saveukraineua.org/ Superhumans - Hospital for war traumas https://superhumans.com/en/ UNBROKEN - Treatment.

We know what U.S. policy for Central Asia was when Donald Trump was president the first time. But the region has changed significantly in the four years since. U.S. forces are no longer in Afghanistan, the relationships between Central Asia's governments and Russia have shifted since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, trade routes have expanded, and there are new issues like energy resources and access to critical minerals. Joining host Bruce Pannier to discuss U.S.-Central Asian ties under the second Trump administration are guests Bakyt Beshimov, a former member of Kyrgyzstan's parliament and former Kyrgyz ambassador to the OSCE and to India who now teaches at Northeastern University in Boston; Richard Hoagland of the Washington-based Caspian Policy Center, who previously served as U.S. ambassador to Kazakhstan and Tajikistan and charge d'affaires to Turkmenistan; and Eric Rudenshiold, also of the Washington-based Caspian Policy Center, who served as director for Central Asia in the National Security Council under both Trump and President Joe Biden.

However, it isn't without risks. Renal colic has several mimics which are life threatening emergencies, indeed the disease itself can have a wide spectrum of complications.

Today on Raise the Line, we make a stop in Northern Europe on our ongoing tour of medical education around the globe and bring  you the perspective of Dr. Povilas Ignatavicius, a hepato-pancreato-biliary and liver transplant surgeon and vice dean at Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, which is the largest institution of higher education for biomedical sciences in that country. In particular, Dr. Ignatavicius shares his insights on medical simulation and student evaluations, which are among his areas of responsibility.  As he describes to host Michael Carrese, his school takes an approach to simulation that values a continual presence of instructors and distributes resources so that individual programs such as surgery and nursing can offer access to what he describes as improved simulation technology. “Our students are exposed to medical simulation starting in year one. Our plan for the next year is that they will spend about 30% of the time with medical simulation at different levels,” he explains. This enlightening conversation also touches on the growth of international students at the university, how AI is impacting education, and a key quality that he thinks sets his school apart from others in Europe. Mentioned in this episode: Lithuanian University of Health Sciences

In this episode, MPP students Erik Kucherenko and Kseniia Velychko talk to Oleksandra Matviichuk, a Ukrainian human rights lawyer and civil rights defender, whose organisation Centre for Civil Liberties (CCL) won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2022. In an incredibly emotional and sincere episode, Erik, Kseniia, and Oleksandra discuss the motivation behind Oleksandra and the CCL's fight for human rights, the importance of documenting war crimes, the ongoing Russian full-scale aggression against Ukraine, the role of civil society in bringing about political and diplomatic change, and why justice is so important today.***Oleksandra Matviichuk is a human rights defender who works on issues in Ukraine and the OSCE region.

The organisation is developing legislative changes, exercises public oversight over law enforcement agencies and judiciary, conducts educational activities for young people and implements international solidarity programs.After the beginning of new armed aggression in February 2022, Matviichuk together with other partners created the ‘Tribunal for Putin' initiative in order to document international crimes under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court in all regions of Ukraine which became the targets of attacks of the Russian Federation.In 2016 she received the Democracy Defender Award for ‘Exclusive Contribution to Promoting Democracy and Human Rights' from missions to the OSCE. In 2017 she became the first woman to participate in the Ukrainian Emerging Leaders Program of Stanford University.
