Podcasts about Realpolitik

Friedrich Merz reist als Kanzler in die Türkei. Es wird ein Besuch zwischen Realpolitik und Risiko. In Ankara trifft er Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, um über Sicherheit und Migration zu sprechen. Ein Gespräch, das Kooperation und Konflikt zugleich bedeutet; über Waffenlieferungen, Rechtsstaat und das Verhältnis zu Russland. Die Analyse dazu von Gordon Repinski. Im 200-Sekunden-Interview spricht Ines Schwerdtner, Parteichefin der Linkspartei, über rote Linien und den Umgang mit der CDU. Sie erklärt, warum die Linke trotz inhaltlicher Differenzen bei zentralen Reformen wie der Schuldenbremse mitreden will und wo sie sich klar von Friedrich Merz abgrenzt.Zum Schluss analysiert Hans von der Burchard die Neuwahl in den Niederlanden: Vier Parteien liegen Kopf an Kopf und alles läuft auf ein „Alle gegen Wilders“-Szenario hinaus. Das Berlin Playbook als Podcast gibt es jeden Morgen ab 5 Uhr. Gordon Repinski und das POLITICO-Team liefern Politik zum Hören – kompakt, international, hintergründig.

Today, Les, Martha, Andy, and Jess discuss Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's White House visit and a pair of major announcements: a reinvigorated AUKUS partnership and a new U.S.–Australia critical minerals deal. While both moves signal deepening strategic and economic ties, the real test will be delivery, building nuclear-powered submarines, securing rare earth supply chains, and reducing reliance on China's market dominance.Can Washington and Canberra turn these announcements into action, or will timelines and industrial bottlenecks slow progress into the 2030s? Is this partnership a true step toward allied self-reliance, or mostly a political win for both leaders? And with China already waging what some would call supply chain warfare, how quickly can the U.S. and its allies really catch up?More information on today's topic: https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-anthony-albanese-submarine-australia-trade-7db18e2b942176623dcad283bfad3a6c https://www.foxnews.com/politics/us-expedite-nuclear-powered-subs-australia-sit-near-chinas-doorstep https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/china-responds-us-australia-rare-earths-dealvhttps://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/10/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-closes-billion-dollar-deals-with-australia/ @lestermunson@marthamillerdc@nottvjessjones@andykeiserLike what we're doing here?

 War with Iran looks imminent, again. Can Trump stop it, and will Azerbaijan join in alongside Israel?

WKI: Debüt für die Warburg- und Dulles-Brüder (1919-1959)Ein Standpunkt von Wolfgang Effenberger.Bei der Pariser Friedenskonferenz 1919 hatten US-Außenminister Robert Lansing und dessen Neffen, die Dulles-Brüder, verschiedene, aber jeweils bedeutsame Rollen gespielt:Robert Lansing hatte als US-Außenminister bereits 1918 die "Lansing-Note" verfasst. Sie diente als Grundlage der harten Waffenstillstandsbedingungen gegenüber Deutschland und bildete schließlich die Basis für den Versailler Vertrag. Lansing leitete die Kommission für Kriegsverantwortlichkeiten, die die rechtlichen Grundlagen für die Sanktionierung Deutschlands und die Anklage des Kaisers erarbeitete. Wilsons Idee zur Gründung eines Völkerbundes unterstütze Lansing nicht uneingeschränkt und verlor daher schließlich das Vertrauen des Präsidenten.John Foster Dulles, damals ein junger Jurist, war enger Mitarbeiter der US-Delegation und gehörte zu jenen, die am Entwurf der wirtschaftlichen Bedingungen des Friedensvertrags mitarbeiteten. Er war insbesondere für Reparationen und wirtschaftliche Regelungen zuständig sowie für die Koordination zwischen Delegationsmitgliedern und internationalen Experten.Allen Dulles wirkte ebenfalls im Stab der US-Delegation, zunächst als junger Diplomat und Nachrichtenmann. Seine Aufgaben lagen vor allem in der Informationsbeschaffung und Hintergrundanalyse politischer Entwicklungen in Mitteleuropa, insbesondere Deutschlands. Robert Lansing gehörte zu den politisch und juristisch zentralen Figuren bei den Verhandlungen, John Foster Dulles spielte im Bereich Wirtschaftsfragen und Reparationsregelungen eine entscheidende Rolle, während Allen Dulles als junger Diplomat in der Nachrichtenarbeit und als "Verbindungsmann" tätig war. Alle drei wurden in dieser Zeit maßgeblich von den Erfahrungen und Netzwerken geprägt, die ihre späteren Karrieren entscheidend beeinflussen sollten. (1)Nach der Friedenskonferenz machten die Brüder Dulles einen Abstecher in das politisch gärende Berlin. Ihr Vater hatte in Göttingen und Leipzig Theologie studiert und seine Söhne mit Geschichten über die reiche intellektuelle Tradition und die Rolle des Landes in der Reformation begeistert.Allen Dulles blieb in Deutschland und wurde erster Sekretär der US-amerikanischen Botschaft in Berlin. Sein Bruder ging zurück in die New Yorker Industriekanzlei Sullivan & Cromwell und agierte global, wobei er sich mit größter Sorgfalt Deutschland widmete. Aus seiner Bewunderung für die Leistungsbereitschaft sowie die Strenge der Gesellschaftsordnung erwuchs seine Überzeugung, dass Deutschland eine aufstrebende Nation und ein Bollwerk gegen den Bolschewismus war.ZwischenkriegszeitDie Erfahrungen während des Ersten Weltkriegs – John als Pragmatiker im strukturierenden Hintergrund, Allen als Abenteurer im Feld – sollten ihre späteren Haltungen prägen: kompromisslose Realpolitik, Vertrauen in eigene Netzwerke und große Skepsis gegenüber Ideologien. Beide Brüder stehen für eine amerikanische Elite, die aus der Katastrophe des Ersten Weltkriegs gelernt hatte. Allen und John nutzten ihre juristischen, wirtschaftlichen und diplomatischen Netzwerke aus dieser Zeit zunächst als Partner der renommierten Anwaltskanzlei Sullivan & Cromwell, die sie später als führende Figuren des amerikanischen Staates im Kalten Krieg in ihrem eigenen Sinn weltpolitisch weiter ausbauen konnten....https://apolut.net/august-1914-der-verzerrte-ursprung-unserer-gegenwart-teil-6-von-wolfgang-effenberger/ Hosted on Acast.

Was passiert, wenn zwei Länder, die auf den ersten Blick so unterschiedlich wirken, plötzlich ganz eng zusammenrücken? Deutschland und Indien – das klingt nach großer Distanz. Aber schaut man genauer hin, zeigt sich ein dichtes Netz aus Kooperationen: Immer mehr indische Studierende prägen deutsche Hörsäle. Start-ups und Unternehmen entdecken neue Märkte und Chancen. Und mit der gemeinsamen Partnerschaft für grüne und nachhaltige Entwicklung haben beide Länder beschlossen, Klimaschutz und Zukunftstechnologien gemeinsam voranzutreiben. Und trotzdem: Oft bleibt das Gefühl, wir verstehen uns noch nicht wirklich. Während Indien rasant wächst, Innovationen treibt und nach globalem Einfluss greift, fragt sich Deutschland: Wie können wir Schritt halten? Und was bedeutet das für unsere eigene Zukunft? Genau hier steigen wir ein. Julius und Christian schauen in dieser Folge nicht nur auf Zahlen, Verträge und politische Gipfel – sondern auch auf Geschichten, Überraschungen und Perspektiven. Von Bildungskooperationen über erneuerbare Energien bis hin zu der Frage, warum Indien manchmal als „Deutschlands Partner von morgen“ bezeichnet wird. Ein Deepdive über Chancen, Missverständnisse und die Kunst, Brücken zu bauen – zwischen Neu-Delhi und Berlin, zwischen Forschungslaboren und Hörsälen, zwischen Visionen und Realpolitik.

Seit Jahrzehnten kämpfen die Sahraouis, das Volk der Westsahara, für ihren eigenen, unabhängigen Staat in der «letzten Kolonie Afrikas», der Westsahara. Gegen einen Gegner, der andere Pläne hat: Marokko. Es ist einer jener Konflikte, die die Welt fast vergessen hat. Gelöst ist er bei weitem nicht. «Es gibt ganz offensichtlich Menschen, die mehr wert sind als andere». Der Ingenieur Lehbib Mahjoub Abdelfatah sagt diesen Satz, ein bisschen verärgert und vielleicht auch verbittert. Wovon er spricht? Vom Wunsch seines Volkes, dass die Einhaltung des Völkerrechts nicht der «Realpolitik» weicht. Seit rund einem halben Jahrhundert lebt ein Grossteil der Sahraouis im Exil im Südwesten Algeriens, angeführt vom Frente Polisario, der politisch-militärischen Organisation der Sahraouis. Sie leben in einer der unwirtlichsten Gegenden der Welt: Wüste, so weit das Auge blicken kann, kaum Wasser, kaum Vegetation. Die Menschen hier sind Flüchtlinge, einst geflohen vor der Armee Marokkos, das einen Grossteil ihres angestammten Gebietes besetzte: der Westsahara. Seither warten die Sahraouis darauf, dass sie zu ihrem Recht kommen: dem Recht, selbst darüber bestimmen zu dürfen, ob sie in der Westsahara ihren eigenen Staat errichten oder zu Marokko gehören wollen. Sie warten. Und bereiten sich vor. Auf den Tag der Unabhängigkeit, den sie einst nahe glaubten, und der inzwischen weit in die Ferne gerückt ist. Augenschein in den sahraouischen Flüchtlingslagern in Algerien, bei Menschen, die ohne fremde Hilfe nicht überleben können, für die aber Aufgeben auch keine Option ist. Erstaustrahlung: 29. März 2025

Why diversity is not a strength, why organised religion beats unorganised religion most common mistakes that political analysts make.

Israel: why it was created, why the West supports it, and the near impossibility of peace.

In today's episode, Tom pulls back the curtain on the hard truths that shape our world, diving into the bloody history and cold calculations that drive geopolitics. Using the concept of “realpolitik” as his lens, Tom explores why nations act not according to ideals, but ruthless self-interest, and how this approach accurately predicts the cycles of conflict, power struggles, and shifting borders that have marked human history. From Genghis Khan to today's nuclear standoffs, Tom examines why humanity's dual capacity for both devastating violence and breathtaking kindness continues to shape the fate of nations. You'll learn the nine core tenets of realpolitik, see how power and survival instincts play out on the global stage, and discover why understanding the unvarnished reality of how nations operate is essential—not just for world leaders, but for anyone who wants to protect and thrive in today's chaotic world. But this isn't just a journey through the darkness of history and politics. Tom also shows how culture, empathy, and pragmatism temper our most savage impulses, offering hope even amidst turmoil. By the end, you'll have a clear-eyed framework for understanding global events, decoding market movements, and safeguarding your freedom in uncertain times. Get ready to challenge your assumptions and build a worldview that actually works.

Firas explains the geopolitics of Iran, the Islamic Revolution, and its relationship with Israel.

Carl, Dan, and Firas attempt to divine truth from Donald Trump's Truths on the war, ask if Rachel Reeves has understood the internet revolution yet, and we regret to inform you: women. Watch first episode of Realpolitik, our new geopolitics series, here: https://lotuseaters.com/freemium-realpolitik-1-or-defining-geopolitics-23-06-25

In this episode, Firas Modad introduces geopolitics and his brand new Realpolitik show. Please note this was episode recorded prior to the Israel-Iran War.

In the electrifying conclusion to Tom Bilyeu's conversation with ex-CIA officer Andrew Bustamante, the lens widens to encompass today's global flashpoints. Andrew applies his framework of power, leverage, and outcomes to the powder keg of present-day geopolitics. From Covid conspiracies and biological warfare, to the rise of China, the fate of the U.S. dollar, and the shifting allegiances shaping the 21st century, Andrew breaks down how world leaders really make decisions—far removed from conventional morality. This part takes a deep dive into modern conflict zones including Russia-Ukraine, the Israel-Palestine crisis, and the West's declining grip amid new authoritarian contenders. Tom and Andrew wrestle with the hard questions: Are chemical and biological weapons just another leverage tool? Why are democracies struggling while strongman regimes rise? And what does the America-first, leverage-maximizing approach actually look like in real time? Buckle in for a rapid-fire tour through the next era of global power, what it has to do with everyday life, and why understanding the "spy playbook" has never mattered more.

Eli Lake and Michael A. Cohen take stock of the Biden health debate—diagnosis, exaggeration, and whether it's actually affected his presidency. Michael pushes back on what he calls the “decline industrial complex,” while Eli says its denial to think Biden was up to the job. Then they turn to Donald Trump's proudly post-moral foreign policy, where human rights don't even make the brochure and alliances are strictly optional. Realpolitik or just real reckless? Either way, they're not even mad.
