Day 1,425.Today, amid the gravest crisis for the transatlantic alliance in decades over the fate of Greenland, we examine the implications of Russia considering strikes on substations supplying Ukraine's nuclear power plants.

Day 1,419.Today, as much of Kyiv continues to live without power, so too does a region of Russia, as the United States accuses Moscow of making a mockery of peace through its continued attacks. Then, we explore the emerging phenomenon of so-called ‘dark tourism' in Ukraine, and what it reveals about how the war is being remembered. Later, in an exclusive interview, we speak to Moldovan President Maia Sandu, who reflects on a tumultuous five years in office – including last year's dramatic election campaign, which delivered Vladimir Putin one of his most significant political setbacks of the year.ContributorsDominic Nicholls (Associate Editor of Defence). @DomNicholls on X.Francis Dearnley (Executive Editor for Audio). @FrancisDearnley on X.Adrian Blomfield (Senior Foreign Correspondent). @adrianblomfield on X.Anna Emmett-Martin (Journalist).

[00:00:00] George Buhnici: Invitatul nostru în această seară este profesorul nostru preferat, domnul Dumitru Borțun. [00:00:05] Bine ați revenit, domnul profesor! Mulțumesc! Avem o teme fierbință la ordinea zile și una [00:00:10] dintre cele mai importante. Voi începe cu breaking news-ul săptămânii acestea. [00:00:15] asasinarea în public a unei dintre cei mai importanti să le spunem [00:00:20] așa, exponenței republicanilor MAGA din Statele [00:00:25] Unite Un tânăr de 31 de ani, Charlie Kirk, împușcat de un [00:00:30] aparent radicalizat care credea el că Charlie Kirk [00:00:35] împrăștie ură.[00:00:36] Dumitru Bortun: Da, dar se pare că ăsta e mai fascist decât [00:00:40] Kirk. Sunt doi radicali care au un discurs alurii [00:00:45] și unul și altul. [00:00:47] George Buhnici: Ok. Sunt doar câteva zile de la [00:00:50] moartea lui Charlie Kirk. Noi suntem la un pic de distanță, destul de safe. Acolo spiritele sunt atât de fierbinți [00:00:55] încât... Guvernatorul statului iutaiei le-a recomandat oamenilor să plece de pe social media pentru că era furia [00:01:00] prea mare.Trăim într-o economie a furiei. Însă deci de la distanță din [00:01:05] experiența noastră, când vă uitați și la Charlie Kirk și la asasinul lui, [00:01:10] nu vedeți o victimă și un agresor? [00:01:13] Dumitru Bortun: Ba da. Și [00:01:15] regret că un om tânăr și doar un [00:01:20] influencer, nu un om care apasă pe butoane, care ia decizii politice [00:01:25] Este omorât. Lasă în urma lui [00:01:30] doi copii fără tată, lasă o soție tânără, [00:01:35] neconsolată deci lucrurile astea sunt oribile.Dar [00:01:40] vreau să vă spun că asistăm la [00:01:45] simptomul unei rupturi foarte puternice în societatea americană. [00:01:50] Pentru că un astfel de eveniment nu polarizează o societate în halul ăsta, [00:01:55] dacă societatea respectivă nu este deja polarizată, dacă nu e [00:02:00] ruptă în două părți, cel puțin. Deci ruptura [00:02:05] preexista. [00:02:06] George Buhnici: Ok, vedem deja această ruptură care este [00:02:10] amplificată de toate părțile implicate de an de zile în Statele Unite, nu e nouă.Am văzut o [00:02:15] mâncă dinaintea lui Obama, apoi s-a transferat primar Am Trump [00:02:20] și a lui Biden și acum am ajuns la punctul la care vedem tentative de asasinat tot mai [00:02:25] des. Am văzut și cea împotriva lui Donald Trump, am văzut atentate teroriste, au fost denumite [00:02:30] încindierile showroom-urilor Tesla, tot pe motive politice.În momentul [00:02:35] acesta vedem această ruptură care ajunge în faza pe gloanțe, ca să zicem așa. [00:02:40] Faza pe, cum zic cei din zona militară, faza kinetică. [00:02:44] Dumitru Bortun: [00:02:45] Da, da. Este întâi faza violenței simptomale Simbolice, [00:02:50] când ne vorbim urât și ne jurăm, urmează faza violenței [00:02:55] fizice. După aceea urmează faza [00:03:00] gloanțelor, cum bine ați spus, și, Doamne ferește [00:03:05] următoarea este faza războiului civil.Deci genul [00:03:10] ăsta de conflict este amplificat din păcate de noile [00:03:15] mijloace de comunicare în masă, așa zisele new [00:03:20] media, tot ce ține de internet, de rețele sociale, de bloguri, de [00:03:25] vloguri și așa mai departe. Podcast-uri. [00:03:28] George Buhnici: Charlie Kirk [00:03:30] este un om născut din acest val de social media. Este unul dintre oamenii care a [00:03:35] folosit excepțional de bine algoritmul, avea [00:03:40] propriului podcast și a creat un ONG și a creat această faimă de om care [00:03:45] poate să dezbată cu oricine, mai ales în public, să zicea în universități și transforma chestia asta.[00:03:50]Un pe care îl publica peste tot. A devenit extrem de influent și a atras [00:03:55] destul de mulți oameni care au ajuns să-l susțină pe Donald Trump [00:04:00][00:04:00] Dumitru Bortun: prin aceste [00:04:01] George Buhnici: activări ale lui. [00:04:02] Dumitru Bortun: Sunt de acord că era foarte talentat [00:04:05] și că avea un talent deosebit de a mobiliza, avea o [00:04:10] anumită carismă de la modul în care arăta, la modul în care [00:04:15] vorbea, punea problema.Dar vreau să vă spun că, așa [00:04:20] zisele... Dezbatere ale lui nu erau chiar [00:04:25] dezbateri Vedeți că există pe internet, spun pentru cei care ne [00:04:30] urmăresc, dumneavoastră știți, pentru că le-am primit chiar de la dumneavoastră, sunt [00:04:35] două filme cu un cadru didactic un lecturer de la [00:04:40] Universitatea Cambridge, care face analiză pe text, [00:04:45] face analiză de discurs.[00:04:47] George Buhnici: Și vorbim despre niște dezbateri [00:04:50] pe care Charlie Kirk le-a făcut în Europa, a fost la Cambridge, la [00:04:55] Oxford și s-au zis acolo încercând să convingă universitățile britanice [00:05:00] să se lepede de ochism. [00:05:03] Dumitru Bortun: Să se [00:05:05] lepede de tot ce înseamnă stânga. Ochismul este doar pretextul. Așa. Vor să [00:05:10] scoată universitățile de sub influența mișcărilor [00:05:15] de stânga.Cele care vorbesc despre o societate deschisă despre emanciparea [00:05:20] oamenilor despre libertatea de alegere, despre [00:05:25] progres și care [00:05:30] sunt teme nesuferite celor de dreapta din Statele Unite. [00:05:35] Și am început cu aceste mari universități legendare [00:05:40] universități din Europa. Eu vreau să vă spun că acest film, care este [00:05:45] un...Studiu este un film didactic foarte reușit. Eu mi-am și [00:05:50] scos pe hârtie după ce mi-ați trimis... [00:05:55] Filmul, mi-am scos grășelile, pentru că și eu [00:06:00] predau gândire critică. Fallacies, nu? Fallacies. Erori de gândire [00:06:05] din perspectiva teoriei critical thinking. Și sunt de [00:06:10] pildă moving the goalpost, adică a schimba regulile [00:06:15] sau chiar subiectul sau criteriile după care discuți [00:06:20] și analizezi o problemă în timpul discuției.Sau burden of [00:06:25] prof, datoria de a dovedi ceva, o presiune de a dori ceva [00:06:30] pe care o pui în celuilalt. Sau post hoc, ergo [00:06:35] procter hoc. Post hoc înseamnă în latină după aceea, procter hoc, [00:06:40] din cauza aceea. Acest sofism, că dacă ceva urmează după [00:06:45] altceva, înseamnă că este efectul acelui fenomen. Doar pentru că e [00:06:50] după el.Nu e neapărat o relație. cauzală. El practică această [00:06:55] eroare de argumentare. Formă personal incredibility, [00:07:00] incredality, adică neîncrederea personală. Eu nu cred în ce spui. Tu nu poți [00:07:05] să credi așa ceva. [00:07:05] George Buhnici: Într-o dezbatere științifică chestia asta e inacceptabilă [00:07:08] Dumitru Bortun: E inacceptabilă. Nu mă interesează [00:07:10] că tu nu poți să crezi.E problemă subiectivă. Poate te-a bătut taică tu când erai mic. Poate [00:07:15] ai avut un unchi care era șeptic. Nu știu care e istoria ta [00:07:20] personală. De ce nu crezi treaba asta? Deci... Pe urmă [00:07:25] red herring, cherry picking, sunt mai multe [00:07:28] George Buhnici: [00:07:30] tehnici [00:07:31] Dumitru Bortun: tacticile, numește ele giz galop, [00:07:35] argument from tradition, pentru că s-a mai întâmplat, [00:07:40] înseamnă că e adevărat.Pentru că, așa, [00:07:45] argumentele circulare, de genul avortul e greșit fiindcă este o [00:07:50] crimă iar crimă este greșită. Deci te învârți în același, fără să [00:07:55] demonstrezi de ce este o crimă. Ai sărit peste etapa asta. [00:08:00] Cel care te ascultă aude doar faptul că crimă e [00:08:05] greșită ceea ce e corect, și tragi concluzia că și avortul e greșit.[00:08:10] Fără să... Argumentezi implicația de la mijloc. [00:08:15] Corect Este o crimă. Deflection. Deflection [00:08:20] înseamnă abatere, abatere la subiect. Mă abat de la subiect pentru că simt că tu [00:08:25] îl argumentezi mai bine și că eu nu mai am argumente. Corect Și atunci [00:08:30] schimbă subiectul, mă abat de la... Și în sfârșit special [00:08:35] plating, când decretăm că ceva este o excepție fără să [00:08:40] argumentăm.Bine ce special plating Spui tu, e o excepție În general, lucrurile astea au cum zic eu, fără [00:08:45] să... Toate lucrurile astea au fost depistate de [00:08:50] acest profesor de la Cambridge. Și puse pe film și a arătat fragment [00:08:55] din discuție între Kirk și un student [00:09:00] de la Universitatea în Cambridge, unde arăta cum a făcut această [00:09:05] greșeală.Deci una dintre erorile de [00:09:10] argumentare este că tu nu dovedești adevărul a ceea ce [00:09:15] spui dar aștepți ca celălalt să contrazică, spune, [00:09:20] dovedește-mi că n-am treptate. Nu e datoria lui să dovească că n treptate, e datoria ta să [00:09:25] dovedești că ai treptate. Deci dialogul ăsta era mai mult, cum să vă spun, un show, [00:09:30] un spectacol, din care probabil câștiga și bani, dar era finanțat [00:09:34] George Buhnici: [00:09:35] de mulți miliardari Charlie Kirk și nu doar el, prin acel ONG Turning Point [00:09:40] USA.Pentru cei care vor un pic mai mult context, nu știu câtă răbdare aveți să urmăriți toată [00:09:45] scena asta americana, eu o fac destul de îndeaproape, Charlie Kirk, [00:09:50] într-adevăr folosea exact toate texturile tehnicele pe care le-a spus și ceva în plus, dar reușise să fie atrăgător pentru [00:09:55] social media, pentru că livra soundbites, livra TikTok-uri, livra chestii condensate [00:10:00] într-un minut, în care te convingea că creștinismul este bun, iar islamul este [00:10:05] greșit, că albii sunt mai buni că negrii sunt răi, că omosexualitatea este sau nu [00:10:10] acceptabilă, căsătoria într-un fel Și în momentul în care era pus în fața unei dezbateri cu [00:10:15] oameni cu pregătire, cu educație, argumentele lui de foarte multe ori cedau.Asta s-a [00:10:20] întâmplat inclusiv în anumite universități Însă de cele mai multe ori Reușea să facă chestia asta cu [00:10:25] studenți În scena publică De pe o poziție în asta Nu știu câți dintre voi ați urmărit să tea [00:10:30] într-un cort Cu oameni în fața lui Ca și cum ar propovădui ceva Știți că e [00:10:35] interesantă chestia asta Că toți avem într-un fel sau altul până la un punct Acest cult al lui Iisus Că vrem să ne [00:10:40] împărtășim adevărul nostru Iar cei care interacționea el De foarte multe ori erau puși pe piciorul din [00:10:45] spate Pentru că el era un comunicator Excepțional de bun Ce [00:10:48] Dumitru Bortun: povestiți dumneavoastră [00:10:50] se numește în teoria discursului Miza scenă Punere în scenă [00:10:55] Sau încadrare unui discurs El asta făcea făcea frameworking [00:10:59] George Buhnici: Cu [00:10:59] Dumitru Bortun: [00:11:00] cortul ăla [00:11:01] George Buhnici: Exact, și el din cortul ăla Sătea de vorbă interacțiunea cu oameni pe [00:11:05] care îi bombarda Cu toate argumentele Pe care le-a spus puțin mai devreme Pentru oameni cu [00:11:10] pregătire filozofică Semiotică, comunicare, toate lucrurile astea Erau transparente [00:11:15] vedeau Prin ele, mai ales că făcea de foarte mult Tot ce a spus dumneavoastră Într-o dezbatere foarte [00:11:20] articulată cu acel student De la Cambridge, tot muta ținta Pentru că una dintre [00:11:25] temele De dezbatere de acolo, foarte scurt Ca să vă dau un rezumat o să vă dau link-urile Pentru aceste [00:11:30] analize Să le dați [00:11:31] Dumitru Bortun: neapărat, că sunt instructive Pentru că și [00:11:35] ascultătorii Noșterii trebuie să învețe Să se ferească de [00:11:40] Oratorii păcălici Care păcălesc auditorii [00:11:43] George Buhnici: Corect [00:11:45] Vă dau un exemplu foarte simplu Unul dintre argumentele lui Charlie Kirk este că [00:11:50] Creștinismul a susținut întotdeauna monogamia și asta este căsătorie într-un bărbat și o [00:11:55] femeie.Și că asta este bună pentru că nici o civilizație avansată [00:12:00] nu a avut căsătorie între persoane de același sex. [00:12:05] Și este contrazis. Și atunci nu insistă, nu doar să fie acceptată, să fie în lege, să fie legiferată. Și [00:12:10] studentul vine și spune, a fost legiferată în Mesopotamia. În Mesopotamia putea să ai [00:12:15] căsătorie între un bărbat și un bărbat.[00:12:17] Dumitru Bortun: Legar. O mare civilizație. [00:12:18] George Buhnici: O mare civilizație. Și îl [00:12:20] spune, da, da și la ce i-a ajutat chestia asta? Din nou tot muta ținta. Și zice, păi, a rezistat niște mii ani. Măi, la [00:12:25] civilizație americană nu are încă mii de Dar aminte, mii de ani de civilizație. [00:12:30] Acum, nu trebuie să fim de acord sau nu cu ce au făcut cei din Mesopotamia.Mesopotamia nu mai e [00:12:35] astăzi. Problema este cum [00:12:37] Dumitru Bortun: argumentăm. Exact. [00:12:39] George Buhnici: Bun. [00:12:40] Am vorbit așadar despre care este semnificația acestui asasinat. Nu vom lămuri încă, dar mie [00:12:45] mi-este clar că ce va urma, vor fi mai puține astfel de dezbatări în public. Exista totuși [00:12:50] valoare în ceea ce văd eu că făcea Charlie Kirk, faptul că pornea o conversație și cu oameni care [00:12:55] Nu îl simpatizau, nu erau de acord cu el și care chiar puteau să îl [00:13:00] dezbată.Nu aveau forța lui de expunere, dar puteam să vedem, cei care am urmărit [00:13:05] suficient de mult, că dincolo de prove me wrong a lui Charlie Kirk, da, [00:13:10] erau momente când era wrong. Dar foarte mulți politicieni se feresc de dezbatări. Și asta este [00:13:15] meritul lui, faptul că au umplut un gol. Bun. [00:13:20] Și acum, întrebarea, că noi avem o listă de teme aici prin care trebuie să trecem, nu avem foarte mult [00:13:25] timp la dispoziție, de aia o să ne vedeți că poate că ne grăbim un pic, dar încercăm, nu știu cât puteți să stați, [00:13:30] e seara, e duminică vă mulțumim că ați venit.Întrebarea care vine acum [00:13:35] este, totuși când devine acest free speech, acest absolutism al [00:13:40] libertății [00:13:41] Dumitru Bortun: de expresie, [00:13:41] George Buhnici: că putem să spunem orice, [00:13:45] unde se oprește această unde punem o limită pentru această exprimare, pentru [00:13:50] orice, ca să nu ajungem în astfel de situații în care unul din tabăra cealaltă să spună trebuie să te [00:13:55] opresc cu orice preț, pentru că împrăștii ură, între ghilemele.[00:13:58] Dumitru Bortun: Să fie clar aici sunt [00:14:00] două extreme, domnul Bucnici Primul lucru pe care îl vreau să-l spun este [00:14:05] că nu e cazul să apelăm la așa zisul bun simț, că aud foarte des [00:14:10] lucrurile astea la comentatori superficiali pe postul de [00:14:15] televiziune pe rețele sociale. Bunul simț este un ghid foarte bun, [00:14:20] pentru că bunul simț e definit cultural.El difere de la o [00:14:25] cultură la altă cultură, de la o subcultură la altă subcultură deci e [00:14:30] circumscris unei culturi sau subculturi. Deci bunul simț nu este universal. [00:14:35] Deci nu rezolvă. La nivelul unei societăți imense, cum e societatea nord-americană, [00:14:40] n-ai cum să apelezi la bunul simț ca... La un criteriu [00:14:45] universal valabil pentru a te opri unde trebuie cu libertatea de expresie.Și [00:14:50] atunci vă spun două lucruri. Sunt două extreme aici. Pe de o parte, [00:14:55] libertatea de expresie dusă la paroxism poate să ducă la [00:15:00] [00:15:05] violență. [00:15:10] Deci odată este violența asta [00:15:15] verbală, violență [00:15:20] simbolică, violență psihologică prin priviri, până la [00:15:25] violența gloanțelor, cum spuneați, și până la, Doamne ferește un război [00:15:30] civil.Deci violența poate să ducă pentru că eu îmi exprim [00:15:35] gândurile mele fără să am nicio oprelișe, pentru că mă prevalez [00:15:40] amendamentului al Constituției Americanei, libertatea de expresie. [00:15:45] Ori, libertatea de expresie poate să ducă la faptul că îi jignesc pe seminii mei, că [00:15:50] le dau motive să-mi furie, le dau motive să se răzbune, [00:15:55] să-mi replice și așa mai departe.Pentru asta s-a inventat [00:16:00] ceea ce se numește corectitudine politică. Dar corectitudinea politică [00:16:05] ea limitează la extrema cealaltă pentru că mai e o problemă aici [00:16:10] De atâta corectivine politică ajungi să [00:16:15] sufoci să restrângi reptul la liberă exprimare. [00:16:17] George Buhnici: Exact. [00:16:18] Dumitru Bortun: Se [00:16:18] George Buhnici: ridică pendulul [00:16:20] în extrema cealaltă. În cealaltă [00:16:21] Dumitru Bortun: extremă.Deci nici corectivinea politică nu este [00:16:25] absolut, un criteriu absolut, pentru că asta [00:16:30] acumulează frustrări, acumulează... [00:16:33] George Buhnici: Haideți să dăm două exemple, [00:16:35] dacă vreți. Una dintre chestiile, pe care Charlie Karrick le spunea, este că [00:16:40] tinerii de culoare au mai multe probleme pentru că nu [00:16:45] trăiesc cu un tată în casă pe parcursul [00:16:50] copilăriei lor.E o chestie culturală în familiile de culoare din Statele Unite. [00:16:55] Undeva la trei din patru tați, bărbați, pleacă de acasă. [00:17:00] Și îl zicea că ăsta este un motiv pentru [00:17:05] violența lor, pentru lipsa lor... Delinvență. Delinvență. Copilăria [00:17:08] Dumitru Bortun: în stradă [00:17:09] George Buhnici: [00:17:10] Intră chestia asta la libertate de exprimare? [00:17:13] Dumitru Bortun: Intră, dar când [00:17:15] îți dai seama că jignești și pui pe jar o mare [00:17:20] categorie umană, poți să te abții și să spui așa, [00:17:25] există familii americane în care tații lipsesc, nu își îndeplinești [00:17:30] rolul și nu oferă un pattern cultural, un model cultural de [00:17:35] comportament băieților.De aici ies tinerii responsabili, [00:17:40] bărbați care nu pot întemeia o familie și care nu se vor putea purta cum trebuie cu [00:17:45] soțiile și cu copiilor. De ce? Fiindcă n-au un model anterior. Dar nu spui neapărat că-s [00:17:50] negri. Pentru că s-ar putea ca majoritatea să fie într-adevăr din [00:17:55] populația de culoare pentru că se explică [00:18:00] culturalicește.Din cultura lor există [00:18:05] treaba asta, că bărbatul poate să plece când vrea. Dar nu spui. [00:18:10] Pentru că asta se numește responsabilitate. Domnul Bun, și nu este vorba nici de a încălca... Chiar dacă [00:18:15] e [00:18:15] George Buhnici: adevărat statistic? [00:18:17] Dumitru Bortun: Dacă e adevărat statistic, [00:18:20] adevărul nu e niciodată un scop în sine. Un scop în sine e binele. Eu [00:18:25] pot să imaginez o politică adevărului spus în așa fel, într-un [00:18:30] anumit fel, într-un anumit...În un moment, unor anumiți oameni ca să facem bine nu ca să [00:18:35] facem rău. Pentru că ipocrizia aia să știți că am fost sincer. Nu mă ajută cu nimic. [00:18:40] Cu sinceritatea ta ai distrus o familie. Ai înăgrit [00:18:45] imaginea unui părinte fața copilului său. Ai distrus prestigiul unui profesor în [00:18:50] fața elevului. Poți să faci foarte mult rău fiind sincer.Ai spus adevărul [00:18:55] Sau ai spus ce credeai tu că trebuie spus. De acord. Trebuie să ne înfrânăm singuri. [00:19:00] Asta se numește responsabilitate. Adică să fii conștient de consecințele [00:19:05] faptelor tale. Și când zic fapte, zic și acte de comunicare. [00:19:09] George Buhnici: Asta este cea [00:19:10] importantă lecție pe care mi-ați dat-o și mie în vara lui 2022.Da. Că până la urmă cuvintele [00:19:15] contează. [00:19:15] Dumitru Bortun: Da. [00:19:16] George Buhnici: Pe de altă parte însă, comportamentul și afirmația lui Charlie [00:19:20] Kirk, din nou vin după ce pendulul s-a ridicat prea mult în partea cealaltă și am ajuns în situația în care [00:19:25] putem să permitem unor bărbați să se declare femei. Deși, [00:19:30] biologic, sunt masculi. Doar pentru că au decis [00:19:35] dintr-o dată că vor să se declare femei, că vor să umble pe unde sunt femeile și [00:19:40] nimeni nu se opune la această chestie Ca nu-i [00:19:42] Dumitru Bortun: jignească.[00:19:42] George Buhnici: Ca să nu-i jignească. Acea [00:19:45] corectitudine politică de care vorbiți noastră a dus-o la extrema cealaltă. Sunteți de acord că este și asta o extremă? [00:19:49] Dumitru Bortun: Da. [00:19:50] Și sunt de acord că în istorie sunt... Sunt mii de cazuri de idei [00:19:55] bune care au căput pe mâna unor ticăloși și care s-au transformat în [00:20:00] lucruri oribile. Idei bune.Care se degradează în mâna unor oameni [00:20:05] Care nu sunt la înălțimea ideii. A construi o societate [00:20:10] bazată pe reguli de comportament civilizat. Corectiunea asta politică ar trebui tradusă [00:20:15] corect în românește corectiune socială. Fiindcă la ei politic are mai multe sensuri [00:20:20] Aici e sensul de la polis. De la societate De la societate [00:20:25] Deci corecțiune socială să fim corecți unii cu alții, să nu ne umilim, să [00:20:30] nu facem bullying.Ce mi se pare [00:20:32] George Buhnici: mie grav este că de foarte multe ori oamenii care [00:20:35] ajung să facă rău altora, o fac în numele [00:20:40] altor oameni sau altor ființe mai nou care nu sunt de față. [00:20:45] Nu ați observat lucrul ăsta? Da, da da. E interesant. Ne punem noi ca [00:20:50] apărători ai... Ne erijăm în... Protectorii unei categorii defavorizate. [00:20:55] Da atacăm individul, îl luăm individual din mulțime, deci îl [00:21:00] discriminăm pentru că ar face rău unor [00:21:05] clase care nu sunt prezente.[00:21:06] Dumitru Bortun: Dar eu aș vrea să termin ideea pentru că n-am spus [00:21:10] decât jumătate din ea. Mă scuzează că m-am... Nu, nu m-ați întrebat. [00:21:15] Ați făcut completării necesare. Începusem să spun [00:21:20] cum nu trebuie să gândim să nu venim cu argumentul bunui simț pentru [00:21:25] că nu rezolvăm mare lucru. Bunul simț nu poate fi cuantificat și nu este universal [00:21:30] valabil.Difere de la o cultură la altă Însă, pide la cultura [00:21:35] afroamericanilor la cultura albilor protestanți. Și diferă [00:21:40] bunul simț de la cultura în raport cu cultura catolicilor. Deci [00:21:45] sunt culturi în care ceea ce e de bun simț pentru mine, [00:21:50] pentru ei nu e de bun simț. Deci nu bunul simț trebuie să [00:21:55] prevaleze trebuie să prevaleze ideea de bine comun, codificată în [00:22:00] limbaj politic, interesul public.Interesul public ce înseamnă? [00:22:05] Să încerci să iei drept criteriul de evaluare unde ne oprim [00:22:10] cu libertatea de expresie, acolo unde se pune problema [00:22:15] binelui tuturor, dacă nu al tuturor, pentru că e greu de realizat asta, [00:22:20] binele cât mai mult pentru un număr cât mai mare [00:22:25] de oameni. Este criteriul utilitarismului.[00:22:27] George Buhnici: Ok, sau dacă vreți o întorc eu invers, [00:22:30] lucrurile pe care ne-am vorbit de foarte multe ori aici să reducem suferința. [00:22:33] Dumitru Bortun: Să reducem suferința. [00:22:35] Ăsta e criteriul doctrinei utilitariste o doctrină etică, [00:22:40] reprezentatul cel mai important e John Stuart Mill. Are și o carte apărută în limba română [00:22:45] în librării, se găsește utilitarismul.John Stuart Mill asta spune că [00:22:50] ai un criteriu pentru cât mai mulți [00:22:55] oameni. Criteriul ăla pe care îl spune [00:23:00] în Sinedru, marele preot al [00:23:05] Israelului, că e bine să-l sacrifice pe Iisus decât să facă rău unui [00:23:10] popor întreg, era un sofist de fapt pentru că poporul nu murea dacă [00:23:15] ei nu-l crucificau. Însă el pune, argumentul ăsta este, pentru că [00:23:20] Iisus era un singur individ, iar poporul lui Izrael era format din [00:23:25] milioane.Și atunci dă prioritate celor care [00:23:30] sunt mai mulți. Genul ăsta de a gândi însă este salvator în [00:23:35] multe situații, pentru că alt criteriu nu avem. Nu avem criterii absolute pentru bine și rău. [00:23:40] Și atunci ne oprim cu libertatea de expresie acolo ne simțim că facem rău [00:23:45] mai mare. Și atunci haideți să comparăm.Dacă merg pe [00:23:50] discursul urii ăsta creează niște frustrări și [00:23:55] niște replici. Și feedback-ul ăla pozitiv care [00:24:00] amplifica, am mai vorbit despre el, și care poate să se ducă până la război civil. [00:24:03] George Buhnici: Când ziceți feedback [00:24:05] pozitiv este amplificarea urii. E [00:24:06] Dumitru Bortun: amplificare, nu e negativ, adică nu scade. [00:24:10] Iar ăsta, [00:24:15] libertatea de expresie, care poate să fie [00:24:20] deșântată duce la niște jigniri dar nu duce la violență.Și atunci, [00:24:25] care este mai aproape de binele comun? [00:24:30] Discursul urii sau corectul înapolitic? [00:24:35] Înțelegeți cum trebuie să gândim? Dar [00:24:40] corectitudinea [00:24:43] George Buhnici: politică a fost acuzată de foarte [00:24:45] multe ori de conservatori că este un slippery slope, că este alunecoasă, că ne [00:24:50] aduce către alte probleme Lucru pe care îl vedem și începem să venim ușor către Europa, [00:24:55] că se pare că noi nu am învățat din ce s-a întâmplat în Statele Unite și vedem asta acum în [00:25:00] Marea Britanie.Pas cu pas, britanicii simt că au [00:25:05] alunecat, că au ajuns într-un stat care [00:25:10] încearcă să-i controleze, care încearcă să-i forceze cu [00:25:15] migrație excesivă. Pentru [00:25:18] Dumitru Bortun: că ei nu au ajuns la [00:25:20] nivelul de autocontrol. Deci eu când am vorbit până acum, eu [00:25:25] vorbesc idealizând puțin adică idealizând ființa umană ca fiind o ființă [00:25:30] morală care are responsabilitatea faptelor sale și [00:25:35] consecințele științelor faptelor sale și atunci îți pui problema ce e mai rău [00:25:40] corecturile politică sau discursul lor și până la urmă îmi spui că e mai rău [00:25:45] discursul lor, că poate să ducă la război civil.Dar aveți [00:25:50] dreptate că nu toți oamenii sunt capabili de gândirea asta, pentru că gândirea asta de tip [00:25:55] moral este și o gândire mai abstractă. Ori nu toți oamenii își termină [00:26:00] ciclu de formare spirituală Nu-ți rămân needucați pe la jumătatea [00:26:05] drumului, sunt așa zis și neisprăviți. Oamenii ăștia nu pot să gândească moral, nu pot să [00:26:10] se gândească la...De-aia pleacă de acasă și își lasă copiii de [00:26:15] izbeliște, pentru că nu sunt suficient de responsabili, nu [00:26:20] s-au maturizat, nu au intrat în etapa etică a vârstei a vieții, sunt la [00:26:25] vârsta estetică, fac ce le place. Deci genul ăsta de [00:26:30] comportament l-a țăizat bine. Există [00:26:35] și societatea americană, și în societatea [00:26:40] britanică dar la britanici și știu unde batez la evenimente recente, este vorba de [00:26:45] revoltele care au avut loc de curând împotriva [00:26:50] imigranților.[00:26:50] George Buhnici: Despre ele vreau să vorbim acum. [00:26:52] Dumitru Bortun: Da. [00:26:52] George Buhnici: Așadar am văzut [00:26:55] protestele foarte recente cu peste 100 de 100 de oameni în stradă mult peste 100 de mii În [00:27:00] anumite locuri am văzut 100 de mii că se spunea. Important este că au ieșit mult mai mulți în stradă cei [00:27:05] care scandează împotriva imigrației, în timp ce pe [00:27:10] partea cealaltă am văzut puțini oameni la protestele care să protejeze [00:27:15] imigranții.Am văzut inclusiv pancarte de pe tabara cealaltă [00:27:20] destul de greu găsit, care spunea să-i mulțumim Lui Dumnezeu pentru imigranții. Thank God for [00:27:25] immigration, da, și alte lucruri, că mai bine să ne educăm decât să urăm imigranții și așa mai [00:27:30] departe Pe de altă parte ceilalți vin și spun că imigrația a fost scăpată de sub [00:27:35] control și că imigranții abuzează serviciile sociale, că nu vor să se [00:27:40] integreze, că schimbă țesătura socială a Marii Britanii.[00:27:44] Dumitru Bortun: [00:27:45] Domnul Bucnici, să încep tot cu un adevăr banal dar de multe ori [00:27:50] trebuie să plecăm de la lucruri banale ca să construim un argument. [00:27:55] Imensa majoritatea oamenilor nu sunt filozofii [00:28:00] și cetățenii britanici intră în aceeași categorie. Nu fac filozofie [00:28:05] istoriei și nu gândesc din perspectiva unei [00:28:10] istorie a civilizației.Dacă... [00:28:15] Vedeți am citit cu ani în urmă istoria civilizațiilor al lui Arnold [00:28:20] Toynbee. Pe urmă am citit... citit cartea lui Neagos Juvara, teza lui de [00:28:25] doctorat de istoria civilizațiilor. Știți cât e de șocant [00:28:30] când citești așa ceva? Seamănă cu o vizită la [00:28:35] cimitir. După o vizită la cimitir se devalorizează [00:28:40] totul.Nu mai știi dacă merită să te lupti pentru ce te-ai luptat până în ziua de azi. [00:28:45] Când vezi acolo că cimitirul e plin de oameni de neînlocuit. [00:28:49] George Buhnici: Care [00:28:49] Dumitru Bortun: au [00:28:50] fost cineva la viața lor. Și care până la urmă ajungem tot. [00:28:54] George Buhnici: Deocamdată [00:28:55] Ați văzut liderii din BRICS Care își fac planuri pentru încă [00:29:00] 70 de ani Fiecare Și [00:29:02] Dumitru Bortun: ce vreau să vă spun [00:29:05] Are loc o devalorizare A mizelor Pentru care noi trăim [00:29:10] La fel este când vezi istoria La scară mare [00:29:15] Când am citit Neagul Juvara de pildă Faptul că [00:29:20] Atunci când se schimbă o civilizație Cu alta Ajung în [00:29:25] frunte Oameni care nu au nimic de pierdut Care în civilizația trecută Nu [00:29:30] aveau nimic Și sunt primii Care luptă pentru [00:29:35] schimbare Și în mod firesc ajung în frunte Nu te mai miri Că au ajuns [00:29:40] în fruntea României Cei mai bogați oameni Niște oameni neanalfabeți Sau niște [00:29:45] oameni semidocți Deci [00:29:47] George Buhnici: vorbim despre oportuniști Care [00:29:50] neavând nimic de pierdut Și asumă Riscuri pe care oamenii De treabă [00:29:55] Oamenii civilizati, educați Și care au [00:29:57] Dumitru Bortun: un statut socioprofesional La care [00:30:00] țin s-au învățat în el S-au învățat cu avantajele lui Ăia nu milțează [00:30:05] pentru schimbare Și cu timpul schimbarea Îi ia pe sus și ei rămân în urmă [00:30:10] Rămân printre ultimii Și în frunte se trezesc Ăia care nu aveau nimic de [00:30:15] pierdut Când Neagul Juvara face analiză istorică Și arată că de fiecare dată [00:30:20] S-a întâmplat așa Când s-a trecut de la civilizația agrară la civilizația industrială, [00:30:25] acum se trece de la civilizația industrială la civilizația informațională și sunt la același [00:30:30] lucru.Și zic dom'le, gata, am înțeles. Dar [00:30:35] devii mai calm, devii mai zen, înțelegi cum stau [00:30:40] lucrurile, nu te mai înfurii, nu te mai indignezi, nu mai protestezi. Ori acești [00:30:45] oameni care ies în stradă n-au cum să-și dea seama că există o [00:30:50] tendință la nivel civilizațional de [00:30:55] migrarea oamenilor din spre est spre vest și din spre sud spre nord.[00:30:59] George Buhnici: [00:31:00] Și care va fi amplificată [00:31:01] Dumitru Bortun: Va fi amplificată în viitor. [00:31:03] George Buhnici: Și [00:31:03] Dumitru Bortun: ei nefiind [00:31:05] filozofia istoriei nu pot să zic, da, dom'le, așa stau lucrurile, ăsta e trendul. Ies [00:31:10] și-și apără locurile de muncă, își apără fetele ca să nu fie [00:31:15] violate de niște oameni, care vin din alte țări, sau [00:31:20] pur și simplu își apără identitatea domnului București.Pentru că mulți au [00:31:25] problema asta. Sunt de altă religie. Sunt de altă [00:31:30] factură. Ăștia nu putem ști la ce ne aștept de la ei. Și de multe ori e și [00:31:35] ignoranța. Pentru că ce s-a înzblat în București cu [00:31:40] băiatul ăla pognit în față pentru că e diferit și pentru că e [00:31:45] invadatorul nostru, asta vine din ignoranță. O dată tipul ăla de [00:31:50] 22 de ani care l-a pognit în față nu știe că noi nu avem resursă [00:31:55] umană, nu avem forță de muncă pentru aceste joburi și în al lui el nu știe că oamenii ăștia [00:32:00] sunt ori hinduși ori budiști, ori confucianiști [00:32:05] din țării din care vin, în care sunt oameni pașnici oameni care nu fură, [00:32:10] sunt mai cinstizi decât majoritatea românilor.Noi până nu facem [00:32:15] un chilipir, până nu păcărim pe cineva Pe [00:32:17] George Buhnici: da. Cum? Pe medie da. Pe [00:32:18] Dumitru Bortun: medie vorbesc. [00:32:20] Noi avem o rală a foloaselor necuvenite pe care se vede în toate domeniile. De la ăla [00:32:25] care i-aș pagă până la ăla care plăcează la doctorat în loc să [00:32:29] George Buhnici: [00:32:30] muncească el. Corect. Dar e exact ca în trafic, am mai dat exemplul ăsta de foarte [00:32:35] multe ori, unul singur trebuie să iasă din coloană și îl vedem toți.O să ne fugă atenția la [00:32:40] el. Un singur migrant care creează o problemă, la câteva mii, zeci de [00:32:45] mii, noi avem prea puțin într-adevăr Doar pentru câte nevoie este de resursă umană. Dacă stai de vorbă [00:32:50] cu orice antreprenor din țara, s-o să spună că duce lipsă acută de forță de muncă de [00:32:55] orice nivel de calificare.[00:32:56] Dumitru Bortun: Dar noi schimbarăm puțin subiectul. Asta era doar o [00:33:00] paranteză. Problema era că ăsta fiind străin, fiind diferit, fiind de altă religie s-ar [00:33:05] putea să cine știe ce ne facă. Fiindcă noi nu-l cunoaștem. [00:33:10] Documentează-te, interesează-te. [00:33:12] George Buhnici: Ajungem și acolo pentru că România este într-o situație foarte [00:33:15] interesantă.Această comunicare atât agresivă împotriva [00:33:20] imigranților într-o țară care de fapt are mari probleme de [00:33:25] emigrație, nu de imigrație. Este o țară de emigranți, nu în care se imigrează. Până și [00:33:30] ucrainenii. Era un comedian care a făcut o poantă foarte, foarte faină [00:33:35] care spunea că românii sunt atât de [00:33:40] primitori încât sunt mai mulți ucraineni refugiați în Bulgaria decât în România.Ăia [00:33:45] ca să ajungă în Bulgaria să treacă prin România, nu să oprescă, să duc la Bulgari. Bă, și Bulgaria e mai săracă Și [00:33:50] totuși sunt mai mulți ucraineni per total, ca număr refugiați decât în România. Te pun [00:33:55] un pic pe gânduri chestia asta. Ăia nu sunt nici de altă culoare, nici de altă religie. [00:34:00] Merg la următoare întrebare.[00:34:04] Dumitru Bortun: Dumneavoastră, nu [00:34:05] aveți o explicație? [00:34:06] George Buhnici: Ba da. [00:34:07] Dumitru Bortun: Nu suntem așa cum ne place să credem [00:34:10] că suntem. Că suntem toleranți și primitori. Știți cum suntem noi? Suntem ca [00:34:13] George Buhnici: mașinilele pe care scrie [00:34:15] sport. Dacă scrie sport pe mașină mașina aia nu-i sport. N-ar fi [00:34:20] nevoie [00:34:20] Dumitru Bortun: să scrie. [00:34:21] George Buhnici: Exact. [00:34:22] Dumitru Bortun: Deci noi ne punem aceste podoabe că [00:34:25] suntem toleranți.Dar din când în când în [00:34:30] istorie am dovedit că nu suntem. Dumneavoastră știți cât greu s-a [00:34:35] desfințat sclavia în România? [00:34:36] George Buhnici: Am fost ultimii din Europa care am oprit eobagia. [00:34:40][00:34:40] Dumitru Bortun: Da. [00:34:40] George Buhnici: Am [00:34:41] Dumitru Bortun: fost ultimii în Europa care am destinsat robia. Romii erau [00:34:45] robi. Asta sclavacism. Și era sub [00:34:50] presiunea Europei exact cum este acum.Ne spuneau [00:34:55] dacă vreți să vă primim în cadrele noastre și să deveniți europeni, trebuie să [00:35:00] terminați cu mizeria asta care este sclavacism. [00:35:05] Robii domnești, robii mânăstirești, robii boierești. Și toți erau [00:35:10] romi Deci asta nu înseamnă... Și eu [00:35:15] vă spun, am auzit acum câțiva ani, la aeroport eram la otopeni, o [00:35:20] discuție între niște din poliția de aeroport.Ce mă mai [00:35:25] revede că așteaptă și niște oameni acolo să uită și zice ăia sunt oameni, sunt țigani. Deci [00:35:30] această formă de [00:35:35] rasism și această formă de șovinism există încă, dar nu e [00:35:40] recunoscută palpită Știți? [00:35:45] În populația României și în instituții de multe ori Constituțiile statului au [00:35:50] astfel de atitudini.Deci nu. Pământ, gândiți-vă ce am făcut [00:35:55] în timpul celui de-al doilea război mondial vis-a-vis de evrei. Și [00:36:00] multe alte exemple. Nu mai zic ce au făcut [00:36:05] administratorii români în cadrii la ter în timpul ocupației românești de acolo Cu [00:36:10] turții, cu tătarii. Sau-au făcut [00:36:12] George Buhnici: jandarmii în Basarabia. [00:36:13] Dumitru Bortun: Da, jandarmii care [00:36:15] au lăsat o amintire foarte urâtă acolo.Deci toate lucrurile astea scot [00:36:20] la iveală anumite aspecte ale psihologiei românilor de care [00:36:25] nu ne place să vorbim, le băgăm sub covor, dar care îi zbognesc din când în [00:36:30] când. Iată de ce în România nu se simt foarte [00:36:35] bine niște oameni veniți din afară și preferă să se ducă în Bulgaria, de pildă, care [00:36:40] e mai sărac.[00:36:40] George Buhnici: Vin de la festivalul vinului moldovenesc, [00:36:45] pe Kiselev. Acolo am fost în seara asta și [00:36:50] de fapt profesional mă uit la oameni. Am văzut un cuplu de [00:36:55] japonezi cred că era, și un singur tip de culoare. În [00:37:00] rest nu prea am văzut străini. Pe de altă parte ni se tot spune pe social media că [00:37:05] românii habar nu au ce să Frumoasă țară au și ce [00:37:10] frumoasă e coeziunea noastră socială în care nu suntem invadați și care să [00:37:15] ținem să protejăm chestia asta.Din nou, nu sunt sigur [00:37:20] dacă îmi doresc să văd mult mai mult străini, dar nu sunt sigur [00:37:25] dacă avem prea puțini. [00:37:27] Dumitru Bortun: Eu unul m-aș bucura. Eu sunt [00:37:30] unul dintre oamenii care valorizează pozitiv diferența. [00:37:35] Care cred că diferențele sunt o sursă de dezvoltare, [00:37:40] sunt un bagaj. Apropo de cei care scuiau, [00:37:45] ne-a dat Dumnezeu darul ăsta cu imigranții, [00:37:50] pentru că unii îi urăsc și vor să-i trimită înapoi iar alții spun că este un [00:37:55] dar de la Dumnezeu să ai imigranții, să ai în primul rând o forță de muncă pentru anumite [00:38:00] meserici, în al doilea rând să ai o diversitate culturală religioasă.Care e problema? [00:38:05] Care e problema că sunt diferiți de tine? Te sperii atât mult diferența? Te bag [00:38:10] așa în angoasă și în insecuritate și în incertitudine? Iată, [00:38:15] deci, eu cred că oamenii care îi urăsc pe străini sunt [00:38:20] permite să încalcă principiul corectitudinii politice, [00:38:25] am să fiu liber, ca la exprimare sunt minți înguste și suflete [00:38:30] mici.[00:38:30] George Buhnici: Ok. Pentru că noi toți am profitat de pe urma [00:38:35] prosperității și felul în care am fost primiți în multe alte țări. [00:38:40][00:38:40] Dumitru Bortun: Absolut. [00:38:41] George Buhnici: Și totuși, ce face aceste proteste cum am văzut în Marea [00:38:45] Britanie? Nu bag mâna în foc, că nu o vedem unul curând și pe la noi, deși încă o dată, noi nu avem o problemă urgentă, [00:38:50] dar ce face ca aceste proteste să strângă masea atât de [00:38:55] mari?Încă o dată, eu cred că ce-am văzut la Londra e doar începutul. De unde vine chestia asta? Pentru că e prima [00:39:00] dată când auzim că oamenii sunt mai preocupați de migrație decât de economie. [00:39:05] E o chestie de identitate? E o chestie de manipulare prin presă sau de social media? [00:39:10] Și, și, și. [00:39:11] Dumitru Bortun: În primul rând e o problemă de identitate și oamenii sunt [00:39:15] foarte sensibili la problema asta cu [00:39:20] identitatea Cine sunt?Cine suntem noi? Ne raportăm la alții [00:39:25] prin diferențe și vin ăștia peste noi care sunt diferiți și așa mai [00:39:30] departe. Pe urmă este lipsa de cunoaștere. Dumneavoastră [00:39:35] am mai vorbit cred, la dumneavoastră, am vorbit despre sindromul chinezesc. [00:39:40] Eu folosesc expresia asta, expresia [00:39:45] mea. De la distanță tot chinezii sunt la fel.[00:39:50]Seamănă între ei. Dar ia du-te și stai acolo câteva [00:39:55] luni sau câțiva ani că începi să-i deosebești. Îți dai seama ce vârste au. Ce [00:40:00] înseamnă un chinez tânăr un chinez la vârstă mijlocie, un chinez în vârstă bătrân. [00:40:05] Opa, stai că începi să-mi nuanțezi percepția. De ce? Îi [00:40:10] cunosc. Cu cât îi cunoști mai puțin cu atât îi vezi la fel.[00:40:15] Ăsta-i sindromul chinezesc. Păi asta este cu orice alt grup uman. De la [00:40:20] distanță par toți la fel. Îi bagi într-o categorie fiindcă e mai comod mental. [00:40:25] În momentul în care îi cunoști, viața te obligă să faci diferență Între ei, [00:40:30] ce spună Spună bună dimineața îi spun să rămână. Deci trebuie să știu cu [00:40:35] cine am de-a face, încep să vezi diferențele.Eu cred că [00:40:40] o mare parte dintre aceste [00:40:45] mișcări de masă se bazează pe ignoranță. În [00:40:50] altă parte, în altă măsură, se bazează pe grija [00:40:55] pentru identitate și în altă măsură pe manipulare. [00:41:00] Pe faptul că rețelele sociale amplifică. Și atunci ce se întâmplă, [00:41:05] domnul Bunic? Rețelele astea sociale amplifică, știți cum?[00:41:10] Și intensiv și ca amploare, [00:41:15] extensiv. Ca amploare e normal să înțelege toată lumea. Datorită [00:41:20] multiplicării fără limite a mesajelor, o masă [00:41:25] imensă de oameni... [00:41:25] George Buhnici: Poate să afle orice nenorocire Mesajul. Da [00:41:28] Dumitru Bortun: Și poate să [00:41:30] creadă că mai are puțin și ia foc Marea Britanie. Sau [00:41:33] George Buhnici: că usturoiul ăla chiar [00:41:35] este cât roata de la bicicletă.[00:41:36] Dumitru Bortun: Exact. Și cred, pentru că sunt mai mulți. [00:41:40] Și apare acel sofism, acel argument [00:41:45] fals, că dacă și alții zic înseamnă că așa e. Pe urmă... [00:41:50] Știu [00:41:50] George Buhnici: eu pe cineva care a văzut că pământul e plat. [00:41:51] Dumitru Bortun: Da, da, da. Cunosc și eu un caz la Bacău.[00:41:55]Ceva de genul ăsta. S-a [00:42:00] labuzat. S-a labuzat, labuzat labuzat Labuzat, da. Așa. Deci asta este [00:42:05] un aspect. Dar mai e un aspect. Cu cât discuțiile [00:42:10] sunt mai numeroase pe internet, cu atât oamenii [00:42:15] devin mai fanatici cu propriile opinii. Și știți de ce? Noi am mai [00:42:20] discutat la un podcastul meu astăzi. Aici vorbim de paradigme.Ori într-o paradigmă [00:42:25] argumentele sunt circulare. Ele pleacă de la premisele paradigmei [00:42:30] și confirmă întăresc premisele. Și cu cât un [00:42:35] om își dezvoltă mai mult demonstrația și argumentele, cu atât se [00:42:40] luminează mai mult câtă dreptate are. Ca Charlie Kirk. Exact. Exact [00:42:45] cazul ăsta. Și atunci apare... Această circularitate, cu [00:42:50] cât vorbesc mai mult, cu atât mă convinc mai mult.Deci dialogul nu ne unește. Dialogul ne [00:42:55] desparte și mai rău. Este ceea ce se numește, în teoria comunicării, [00:43:00] dialogul surzilor. Fiecare s-au de pe el, nu l-au de pe celălalt. Deci [00:43:05] rețele sociale au dus la o amplificare și ca amploare, [00:43:10] la o adâncime și adâncire a diferențelor și [00:43:15] a opozițiilor ca intensitate.[00:43:17] George Buhnici: Nu durează puțin chestia asta. Durează [00:43:20] E un proces complex. Dar dacă ne uităm un pic în spate aveam rețele sociale de suficient de multă vreme încât să-și făcut [00:43:25] efectul acești algoritmi Într-o competiție acerbă pentru audiență au amplificat lucrurile care [00:43:30] se viralizează, iar apoi au apărut actorii statali care folosesc [00:43:35] aceste narațiuni pentru politica lor externă.Și aici întrebarea este, cum [00:43:40] lucrează aceste narațiuni, cum ar fi narațiunea invaziei a re-emigrării în aceste emoții [00:43:45] colective? Și cine le orchestrează? Credeți că există păpușari sau este doar furia noastră [00:43:50] care ne ocupă pe noi înșine pe toți? Există păpușari [00:43:54] Dumitru Bortun: care [00:43:55] profită de pe urma acestor furii. [00:44:00] E foarte interesant.Are Salman Rushdie, cel care a scris [00:44:05] versetele satanice, are un roman, Furia, în care [00:44:10] face o analiză de mare subtilitate acolo, acțiunea petrecându-se în Statele Unite ale [00:44:15] Americii. Se izizează manifestările de furie în [00:44:20] diferite domenii și pe diferite niveluri sociale. Furia ca stat. [00:44:25] E spirit, ca spirit al epocii de spirit de taim [00:44:30] Putem spune că furia este emoția [00:44:32] George Buhnici: acestei generații?Da, [00:44:33] Dumitru Bortun: da. Asta [00:44:35] demonstrează Salman Rushdie. E tulburător să [00:44:40] ai zis seama că s-a născut o generație sub ochii noștri și din mâinile noastre [00:44:45] furioasă. Știți că prin anii 60 a păruse un [00:44:50] curent în dramaturgia britanică tinerii furioși. Care au scris [00:44:55] niște piese foarte cunoscute la vremea respectivă, Camera în formă [00:45:00] de el, Fiață sportivă, Privește înapoi cu mânie, [00:45:05] Singurătatea alergătorii de cursă lungă, toate astea au devenit filme de mare [00:45:10] artisticitate.Tinerii furioși era [00:45:15] prima repriză. Au urmat repriza a doua, s-au mai calmat, au [00:45:20] urmat Revoluția sexuală, au urmat mișcări despre înțelegi în 68, hippie [00:45:25] și așa mai departe. Hippie care erau pacifiști la bază. Da erau pacifiști, dar tot [00:45:30] pacifismul ăsta lor retragerea din societate era de fapt o reacție de contestare a [00:45:35] societății moștenite la părinților.Ăștia de astăzi nu mă să mai retrag pur [00:45:40] și simplu for să o distrugă, pentru că nu le place ce au primit ca moștenire. [00:45:44] George Buhnici: O parte [00:45:45] dintre ei, că avem și retrași o vedem în Asia, începem să vedem și [00:45:50] la noi, nu știu dacă ați auzit, n-am apucat eu să vă trimit înainte, vorbim mai nou, să [00:45:55] mă ierte cei mai tineri despre the Gen Z stare, adică [00:46:00] chestia asta, atitudinea asta, că orice îl întrebi, când vorbești cu unul mai [00:46:05] tânăr, care a luat un job, se uită așa la tine, fără reacție.The [00:46:10] stare, adică pur și simplu se uită, această mină pietrificată. Poker face. [00:46:15] Poker face. Acest poker face, generația poker face, am putea să-i spună dacă vreți. Deci [00:46:20] avem genul ăsta de retragere orică un fel de revolt orică ar pur și simplu ca plictiseală [00:46:25] ca demotivare sau pur și simplu descărcare completă de emoție după atât de [00:46:30] multă furie cât este amplificată și refuzul [00:46:32] Dumitru Bortun: de implicare emoțională [00:46:33] George Buhnici: da [00:46:35] deci furie și refuz de implicare aici suntem între astea două [00:46:40] ok, toate astea sunt amplificate de tot felul de [00:46:45] influențări care mulți dintre ei se pun în fața oamenilor dar de fapt sunt niște miliardari [00:46:50] de aici spun că luptă acolo pentru interesea oamenilor și Charlie Kirk era finanțat de miliardari nu era nici el [00:46:55] sărac foarte puternic susținut de Elon Musk transportat [00:47:00] sicriul lui de J.D Vance cu Air Force 2 și [00:47:05] asta este doar exemplul ăsta concret dar mai avem oameni foarte bucăți cum a fost pe exemplu că vă [00:47:10] povesteam la un moment dat vorbeam noi despre acel influencer care a venit cu un avion privat la București [00:47:15] să ia un interviu unei candidate la prezidențiale doar dorind să [00:47:20] salveze democrația românească tot felul de influențări în ăștia parașutați cu foarte mulți bani [00:47:25] de ce credeți că acești miliardari folosesc aceste [00:47:30] narațiuni în acest mod și acești algoritmi împotriva oamenilor [00:47:35] ce [00:47:35] Dumitru Bortun: se iunește pe ei Pe [00:47:40] evanghelicii albi din Middle America parcă de [00:47:45] mijlocul Americii Și pe mari miliardari care vin din aceste [00:47:50] industrie de vârf.[00:47:51] George Buhnici: Așa. [00:47:54] Dumitru Bortun: [00:47:55] Doctrina acceleraționistă. Se numește așa pentru că pleacă de la... [00:48:00] Se duce în multe direcții, dar pleacă de la un trunc comun. De la [00:48:05] constatarea că istoria s-a accelerat și că [00:48:10] ritmul de evoluție tehnologică e atât de mare [00:48:15] încât societatea nu mai face față nu mai ține ritm. Și atunci, [00:48:20] marii reprezentanții ai firmelor tehnologice [00:48:25] vor să limiteze democrația, pe care o simt [00:48:30] înceată, birocratizată o simt că nu ține pasul cu [00:48:35] inovarea tehnologică și domeniul cu care sunteți foarte [00:48:40] familiari, că lucrați în domeniul ăsta și promovați, progresul [00:48:45] tehnologic, bine faceți, dar ei spun așa că democrația este un [00:48:50] regim politic cronofag.Știți? [00:48:53] George Buhnici: Că ține pe loc. [00:48:55][00:48:55] Dumitru Bortun: Mănâncă timp Și până când [00:49:00] ajungi să iei o decizie, a trecut, a zburat [00:49:05] gaia cu mațul. Nu mai ai timp. [00:49:10] A zburat momentul în care trebuia luată decizia Și să [00:49:15] acumulează o serie întreagă de blocaje care până la urmă să intră în criză și ei vor să [00:49:20] deblocheze chestia asta. [00:49:21] George Buhnici: Pentru că se văd într-o competiție cu alții care fac același lucru.Da. [00:49:25] Și vor să... [00:49:26] Dumitru Bortun: Toți ăștia care sunt în jurul lui Trump și [00:49:30] care finanțează MAGA, mișcarea asta, [00:49:35] America Great Again, sunt ăștia, [00:49:40] acceleraționiști. Ei se întâlnesc foarte bine cu aceștii [00:49:45] evanghelici albi din Middle America pentru că și pleacă de la ideea că s-a accelerat [00:49:50] și că dacă vrem să accelerăm, dacă e bine că [00:49:55] s-accelerează, pentru că vine...Mai repede Iisus. A doua venire a lui Iisus să se apropie mai [00:50:00] repede. Și atunci ei au intrat în administrație în politică [00:50:05] în școli, vor să intre peste tot, au teoria celor 8 munți. Nu [00:50:10] știu dacă știți vorbesc cu cei care ne urmăresc, dumneavoastră știți că în [00:50:15] Vechiul Testament există un simbol al muntelui, muntele Sinai, în care [00:50:20] Dumnezeu vorbește cu Moise și îi dă cele 10 [00:50:25] porunci, cele două table cu cele 10 porunci, există [00:50:30] muntele Tabor, există muntele Templului, sunt mai multe munți sfinți [00:50:35] care au o simbolistică foarte puternică pentru [00:50:40] iudaism pentru creștinism.Deci pentru iudeocrăștini, [00:50:45] aceștia evanghelici spun că îi trebuie să cucerească opt munți. Un munte [00:50:50] este administrația, alt munte este învățământul educația în [00:50:55] general, alt munte este sănătatea și trebuie să aibă oameni peste tot. Și [00:51:00] ăștia toți trebuie să accelereze și să țină ritm cât mai mult și s-au [00:51:05] întâlnit în foarte multe obiective, printre care cel antidemocratic, cu oamenii [00:51:10] de afaceri cu mari businessmen.Iată de ce se întâmplă în America. Se [00:51:15] dă peste cap o întreagă tradiție și un întreg mecanism de [00:51:20] evoluție socială. Și totul de la tehnologie, [00:51:25] domnul Bucnici. Cum adică de la tehnologie? Păi întotdeauna a fost așa Karl Marx [00:51:30] a vorbit în alți termeni, dar el spunea așa, forțele de producție determină tipul de relație de [00:51:35] producție.Și a vorbit de legea concordanței, între forțele de producție și relații de producție Ce sunt forțele [00:51:40] de producție? E tehnologia. [00:51:41] George Buhnici: Eu sunt de acord că e tehnologia, dar ce adaugă [00:51:45] marxistile în iniște este că, faimoasa zicere, că nu există câștig fără [00:51:50] ca cineva să-și fost furat. Și în cazul ăsta oamenii munce Nu, [00:51:53] Dumitru Bortun: e pe [00:51:55] altă linie, e pe altă direcție.În ceea ce plăcește mecanismul evoluției sociale În mecanismele de [00:51:58] George Buhnici: producție există un [00:52:00] asupritor care ia roadele acestei productivități de la oamenii muncii și nu [00:52:05] distribuie Știu [00:52:05] Dumitru Bortun: dar nu asta contează acum. Contează ce spuneam că ei spun că modurile de producție sunt [00:52:10] schimbate. Din cauza evoluției tehnologice.[00:52:13] George Buhnici: Așa. [00:52:13] Dumitru Bortun: Că [00:52:15] atunci când mijloacele de producții erau atât rudimentare încât trebuia să ne [00:52:20] ajutăm noi între noi, era comuna primitivă, după care s-au mai [00:52:25] evoluat mijloacele de producții, dar atunci nu erau suficiente pentru [00:52:30] ca toată lumea să stea și să producă, fiindcă nu erau mașini. Și atunci jumătatea din [00:52:35] omenire a fost transformată în sclavi.Și jumătatea au devenit stăpâni de [00:52:40] sclavi. Și au folosit păștea păstă unelte. Unelte vorbitoare cum [00:52:45] definește sclavul Aristotel. Un altă vorbitoare. O dată cu o [00:52:50] revoluție industrială apar mașinile. Opa, în momentul ăsta omul devine [00:52:55] conducător al mașinii, dar mașina face efortul în locul lui. Să termină cu [00:53:00] sclavia, apare capitalismul.Deci toate lucrurile astea sunt trase de [00:53:05] dezvoltarea tehnologică. [00:53:06] George Buhnici: Păi da dar tehnologia despre care ne-ați vorbit și care duce la această [00:53:10] tensiune, este cea care a redus cel mai mult suferința pentru toată planeta. [00:53:14] Dumitru Bortun: Eu n-am spus [00:53:15] că e rea. Eu explic de ce se întâmplă. Se întâmplă această mare transformare [00:53:20] socială în America, ea fiind vârful de lance al civilizației occidentale, se întâmplă [00:53:25] întâi la ei.[00:53:25] George Buhnici: Se [00:53:25] Dumitru Bortun: va întâmpla și la noi. Este vorba de aceste schimbări [00:53:30] produse de progresul tehnologic. Într-adevăr accelerat. [00:53:33] George Buhnici: Trebuie să mai gândiți la asta, [00:53:35] pentru că m-ați pus un pic pe gânduri. [00:53:36] Dumitru Bortun: Da, mai meditați. [00:53:37] George Buhnici: Mai dați un pic de gândire. [00:53:39] Dumitru Bortun: Asta nu [00:53:40] înseamnă că nu trebuie să promovați progresul tehnologii. Promovați-i Dar promovați-i în acea [00:53:45] paradigma [00:53:47] George Buhnici: utilitarismului.Da. Eu la asta mă uit. Spre binele [00:53:50] cât mai mari, pentru cât mai [00:53:51] Dumitru Bortun: mulți. [00:53:52] George Buhnici: Mâi la ceasul de la mâna noastră, care vă poate anunța când [00:53:55] aveți probleme de puls. Da, [00:53:56] Dumitru Bortun: exact. [00:53:56] George Buhnici: E nevoie de [00:53:57] Dumitru Bortun: așa ceva. Da, e un câștig. [00:53:58] George Buhnici: Dar nu putem să-l lăsăm pe [00:54:00] băiatul care deține compania aia să-și pună președinte. [00:54:03] Dumitru Bortun: Să ne pună șeful. [00:54:05] Exact.Pentru că el are companie, e lăudabil, dar nu îl a ales nimeni. [00:54:10] Exact. [00:54:10] George Buhnici: Bun. Revenim către România. România trece la [00:54:15] sfârșitul anului trecut prin anularea alegerilor prezidențiale, apoi vin valurile de proteste și o campanie [00:54:20] rerulată sub umbra acestei ingerințe ruse, despre care vorbim inclusiv în [00:54:25] Moldova cum și în alte locuri.Avem rețele pro-Kremlin și conexiuni [00:54:30] moldovene, inclusiv rețeaua SHORE, despre care aflăm tot mai multe zile la acestea prin cei care urmăresc foarte, [00:54:35] foarte interesant câte informații se laiveau în ultima perioadă despre această rețea SHORE, care [00:54:40] operează și la noi, care au amplificat Narațiuni peste tot, Facebook, Telegram și așa mai departe, [00:54:45] inclusiv mesajele anti-UE, dar și anti-migrație, despre care vorbeam puțin mai devreme.[00:54:50]Acum, întrebarea este. Revin un pic și aș vrea să [00:54:55] închidem această discuție Înțelegem că există aceste forme de manipulare și mult [00:55:00] o să zică, iarăși începe să vorbească buhnici de troli ruși. Dar credeți că există o [00:55:05] legătură între discursul anti-imigrație în România, o țară de emigranți nu de [00:55:10] imigrație, care să fie folosite de aceste rețele de [00:55:15] propagandă rusești?[00:55:16] Dumitru Bortun: Da. Scopul final [00:55:20] al propagandei rusești este dezmembrarea Uniunii [00:55:25] Europene, care reprezintă un mare obstacol din punct de vedere [00:55:30] comercial, tehnologic, economic, politic. Și [00:55:35] pentru asta trebuie să întoarcă popoarele astea [00:55:40] needucate din fosta zonă comunistă, [00:55:45] care au ieșit de curând din regimuri totalitare sau dictatoriale, să [00:55:50] le întoarcă împotriva Uniunii Europene.Și n-ai cum să-i [00:55:55] întorci decât spunându-le ce răi Uniunea Europeană, ce răi sunt [00:56:00] birocrații de la Bruxelles, ce lucruri relevă. Trebuie să le [00:56:05] dezvolți și mândria de a fi români sau de a fi bulgari [00:56:10] să dezvolți identitatea lor naționalistă, suveranistă, să le [00:56:15] propui suveranitate în condițiile în care o lume întreagă să devine [00:56:20] interconectată.Ei propun suveranitatea să rămași răul de tot în urmă. [00:56:25] Ca evoluție istorică Ei nu pricep în ce epocă ne aflăm, dar lucrează [00:56:30] cu materialul clientului. [00:56:31] George Buhnici: Ei vor să aibă telefoane produse în străinătate, internet, să se [00:56:35] uită să vadă, să aibă lumea să aibă o fereastră către lume aici? [00:56:37] Dumitru Bortun: Da, dar asta e tehnologie.Nu este [00:56:40] o imagine despre procesul istoric. Ei habar n-au că a existat [00:56:45] o epocă feudală, că a existat o epocă modernă că noi suntem în postmodernitate. Nu [00:56:50] au poziționat. Și gândesc că a nevăd mediul. [00:56:53] George Buhnici: Au acest fallacy că [00:56:55] poți să păstrezi, să stăm cu toții în ie și în costum popular, dar înconjurați de toate [00:57:00] fructele globalizării.[00:57:01] Dumitru Bortun: Da. Exact cum era în Iran la Revoluția lui Khomeini. Mi-a [00:57:05] spus cineva care a fugit de acolo. Era la noi în țară era studentul meu la [00:57:10] arhitectură. Și mi-a spus că marea majoritate, 80% [00:57:15] erau analfabeți, dar aveau televizor color în bordeile lor [00:57:20] acolo și câte un calașnicov dat de ruși. Așa s-a făcut Revoluția [00:57:25] musulmană.Ca la [00:57:25] George Buhnici: noi. Toată lumea are câte un smartphone și opinie pe TikTok. Și ei [00:57:29] Dumitru Bortun: [00:57:30] analfabetiți funcționă. Și [00:57:31] George Buhnici: totuși, atinge niște anxietăți, așa cum am mai auzit [00:57:35] lucrul ăsta, propaganda folosește anxietăți reale. Lucrează cu materialul [00:57:40] clientului. Piața muncii de identitate Mi-ați vorbit, servicii [00:57:45] publice. [00:57:45] Dumitru Bortun: Păi orice schimbare, domnul Bucurniciu orice schimbare creează anxietate.Prima este să [00:57:50] ești pregătit Sufletește de schimbare? Ești pregătit ideologic? [00:57:55] Ai niște idei care justifică schimbarea? Ți-a spus vreodată cineva că singurul absolut [00:58:00] care există în lume e schimbarea? În lumea de azi, [00:58:05] în lumea de aici, singurul lucru absolut e schimbarea. Restul e relativ, [00:58:10] pentru că totul se schimbă.Numai în cer există cineva care nu se [00:58:15] schimbă. Dumnezeu. Și-o și spune în Maleachi, unul dintre [00:58:20] cei mai interesanții profeți mici spune, eu nu mă schimb. [00:58:25] Eu sunt Dumnezeu nu mă schimb. Deci el e reperul fundamental pentru [00:58:30] noi ca să știm când ne schimbăm, când nu. Avem un reper fix, Dumnezeu [00:58:35] cu legile lui, cu legea morală, cu legea sanitară, cu tot ce [00:58:40] știm, discursul despre fericiri de pe munte.[00:58:45] Deci toate lucrurile astea să [00:58:50] înțelegem cred foarte bine când ai o cultură a schimbării [00:58:55] Și tu îți dai seama că trebuie să faci parte din schimbare, să ții pasul cu schimbarea, că dacă [00:59:00] nu-ți place schimbarea sau nu înțelege problema ta, nu e problema schimbării și că nimeni nu e de [00:59:05] vină. Tu trebuie să ții pasul cu ea.Dacă ai niște copii pe [00:59:10] care nu-i mai înțelegi e problema ta, trebuia să ții pasul cu ei și să înveți și [00:59:15] tu de la copiii tăi, nu doar Ei de la tine Pentru că tu le predai Ce se învețe de [00:59:19] George Buhnici: la [00:59:19] Dumitru Bortun: tine? Păi [00:59:20] ce se învețe de la tine? Ce era sub Ceaușescu? Să le bați, îi bați [00:59:25] la cap că era mai bine înainte sub Ceaușescu?Era mai bine pentru tine că era mai tânăr. Pentru ei n-ar fi [00:59:30] mai bine. Deci toate înapoierile astea ale noastre, [00:59:35] încetinea, inerția de a ne schimba, frica de a ne schimba, comoditatea. [00:59:40] Sunt multe ori care ne țin în loc să nu ne schimbăm. Și începem să înjurăm [00:59:45] schimbarea. Suntem împotriva ei. Și respectiv împotriva progresului [00:59:50] tehnologic, împotriva integrării transnaționale și împotriva [00:59:55] Uniunii Europene.Și ăștia atât așteaptă. Să ne întoarcă împotriva Uniunii Europene. [00:59:59] George Buhnici: Mi s-a [01:00:00] părut maxim când am văzut-o pe Madame Șoșoacă în căruță. Nu și-a căzut [01:00:05] imaginea. Cântând într-o căruță. [01:00:06] Dumitru Bortun: Dar face pe autochronista. [01:00:10][01:00:10] George Buhnici: Așadar avem partii de care au învățat să folosească chestiile astea. [01:00:15] Și folosesc toate acestea anxietate Și le transformă în capital politic.Pe de altă parte [01:00:20] avem și o coaliție la putere Care repetă toate greșelile pe care le-au făcut și alte [01:00:25] coaliții de voință. Din mai multe țări europene. În care ne strângem împreună pentru [01:00:30] interesul public. Nu mai face nimeni o poziție reală. Și atunci singurii care capitalizează [01:00:35] cine sunt. Exact cum s-a întâmplat în Germania.Că și Frau Merkel era într-o alianță [01:00:40] mare de tot acolo la putere. Multă vreme n-a deranjat-o nimeni. A avut [01:00:45] niște mandate foarte lungi și foarte liniștite. Era [01:00:48] Dumitru Bortun: chiar o liniște [01:00:50] suspectă. Știți cum se spune în literatură? Liniștea dinaintea furtunii. Asta era. [01:00:55][01:00:55] George Buhnici: Și acolo unde nu există opoziție, nu există dezbatere, democrația nu este vie, [01:01:00] se ridică întotdeauna extremiștii.Și acum vedem același lucru la noi. Am avut USL [01:01:05] până recent. Eu o-i zic USL, acest PSD-PNL, care acum este [01:01:10] în continuare mângăiat pe creștetă de președintele nostru Nicușor [01:01:15] Dan. Și vedem cum crește de la o zi la alta. Săptămâna asta a ieșit un [01:01:20] sondaj că coaliția de la putere mai are procente puține în [01:01:25] față În condițiile actuale.[01:01:27] Dumitru Bortun: E vreo 4%. [01:01:30] Vreau să vă spun că m-am gândit la aspectul ăsta. Am [01:01:35] trei recomandări, trei soluții. În primul rând ar [01:01:40] trebui să descurajeze statul și chiar să interzică dacă e cazul, [01:01:45] discursul urii Și să o facă până nu va fi prea târziu. [01:01:50] Atenți, unde discursul urii. O să-mi zic, da, dar asta nu e restrângerea libertății de [01:01:55] expresie?Ba da. Dar trebuie făcut. Și am să vă povestesc o [01:02:00] poezie lăsată moștenire de Martin [01:02:05] Niemöller, un pastor luteran din Germania, Care [01:02:10] a trăit 92 de ani, a murit în 1984, a supraviețuit la mai multe [01:02:15] lagăre naziste. Și își se spune în nume alături. Foarte interesan

Day 1,418.Today, as thousands remain without power in Kyiv, we examine President Zelensky's pledge to carry out more operations “inside” Russia and analyse Moscow's latest tank and weapons innovations. We then unpack an extraordinary outburst from a Russian spokesperson, who dismissed the “wet dreams of British perverts”, before considering what the fall of Iran's regime would mean for the war in Ukraine. Later, we return to the issue of Ukraine's stolen children, with new details on the military training they are being forced to undergo.ContributorsFrancis Dearnley (Executive Editor for Audio). @FrancisDearnley on X.Dominic Nicholls (Associate Editor of Defence). @DomNicholls on X.Adélie Pojzman-Pontay (Journalist and Producer). @adeliepjz on X.With thanks to Olesia Bida (Journalist, The Kyiv Independent's War Crimes investigations). @olesyabida on X.SIGN UP TO THE ‘UKRAINE: THE LATEST' WEEKLY NEWSLETTER:http://telegraph.co.uk/ukrainenewsletter Each week, Dom Nicholls and Francis Dearnley answer your questions, provide recommended reading, and give exclusive analysis and behind-the-scenes insights – plus maps of the frontlines and diagrams of weapons to complement our daily reporting.

Day 1,415. Today, the world responds to Putin's latest outrage that has seen a nuclear-capable ballistic missile fired by Russia hit Ukraine just 50km from Nato's border, with one leading European politician saying the pressure on Putin must now be “turned up to the maximum and made unbearable.” We hear from the man who recently interviewed Oleksandr Kamyshin, a key aide to President Zelensky and get Francis's final thoughts from Hungary.

You are listening to Overtired and I am Christina Warren, and I’m joined as always by Jeff Severance Zel and, uh, Brett Terpstra couldn’t be, uh, here with us in this, uh, happy early 2026 episode, but I’m, I’m super excited to be able to kick off the, uh, the first pot of the year with you, Jeff, how are you? Jeff: I am good. Happy New Year to you. Christina: Likewise, likewise. Um, oh, here, here, here’s to 2026 being significantly better than 20, 25. So Jeff: So far, not so good, but I’m, I’m really, I’m really excited about 2026. I’m Christina: I was gonna say, like, like globally, globally, so far not great, but, but, Jeff: in here. Good in here. Personal Updates and Health Challenges Christina: So, um, so how are, uh, uh, how, how, how is the, I guess a, I guess we can kind of a drill into like a, a brief kind of mental health or, or just personal update thing if we want. Um, how, um. How are things for you so far? Um, I guess the end of the year. How are things with the kids? Um, the [00:01:00] wife, everything. Jeff: the, how the year ended is, and that gets us back to almost a political level. I will save for a topic ’cause boy do I have a story. Um, but, uh, generally speaking, doing really well. Like we traveled, saw my dad and stepmom in Iowa. Saw my in-laws in Indiana, had a really nice, just like generally had a really nice time off. Um, and despite the fact that I’m under a super stressful deadline over the next few days, I feel good. How about you? You got a lot going on. Christina: I, I do, I do. So I guess just kind of a, a, an, an update on, um, the, uh, the Christina, you know, cervical spine, um, saga since we last spoke a couple of weeks ago. Um, I guess maybe two weeks ago now. Um, uh, it was maybe a week ago. Um, uh, it was two weeks ago, I think. Sorry, it was, it was right before Christmas. Surgery Details and Insurance Woes Christina: Um, I was still awaiting, um, hearing back about when I would be scheduled for, uh, surgery and I’m getting, um, uh, artificial disc replacement in, um, I guess [00:02:00] between like C six, C seven of my cervical spine. And I do finally have a surgery date. Yay. Um, the bad, yeah, the bad news is it’s not until February 2nd, so I’ve gotta wait, you know, a month, which sucks. Um, I would have been able to get in, you know, uh, three weeks ago at this point. Um, had I been able to like, I guess like book immediately, but without insurance, like approval, um, I didn’t really want to do that. Um, I think, I think people, uh, can understand why, like, you know, when the doctor’s like, well, we can book you now, but you’ll just need to sign some forms that say you’ll be responsible for the bill if insurance doesn’t pay. Jeff: Oh fine. Get Where’s my pen? Christina: right, right. And I’m like, yeah, this is, you’re gonna keep me overnight just for, you know, observation to make sure like nothing bleeds or, or, or whatever’s a problem. Um, ’cause they’re gonna go through like the, the, the front of my, of my neck to, to be able to reach, you know, um, things that way and, and, and so, [00:03:00] you know, and be under, you know, anesthesia, you know, it’s, it’s, it’s not like a huge critical procedure, but it’s still neurosurgery. Jeff: is through the front of your neck. Christina: and, and, and, and, and, and again, and it’s a neurosurgeon and it’s like, you know, they’re gonna, you know, take some stuff out and try to make sure that like, you know, very, like they’re gonna be, you know, um, screwing up against my trachea and stuff. And like, yeah. I mean, like, you know, it’s, it’s not, it’s not minor. It’s not like I can just go in in an afternoon and be like, oh, I’m, I’m, I can just like walk out. Jeff: Right. Christina: Um, um, although apparently I will feel better, uh, as soon as it happens, but yeah, I mean, this is probably gonna be a six figure, you know, operation, I’m assuming so. No, I, I, I’m sorry. In, in this climate, uh, I don’t feel comfortable. Just, I need my name to be like, oh, yeah, I’ll, I’ll be responsible for that, and then be responsible for trying to track everyone down to, to pay. So that’s the frustrating thing is that, and now of course, you know, you, you get the beginning of the year, a bunch of people have been waiting, you know, to get, you know, things scheduled, I’m sure, and [00:04:00] whatnot. So I’m grateful that I’m scheduled at all. Um, I’m also grateful that right now I’m not insignificant pain, which is a really good thing because if this had been the pain level that I was in for the first few weeks, then like, I wouldn’t, I, you know, I mean, I would wait. I mean, if, if, if you have to wait, you have to wait. But, um, I, I, I might have like pressed upon them like. Is there any way we can move this up? Um, but I’m not in that position, which is good. The only thing is just that the numbness, um, on both arms. But, but, but primarily, yeah. No, I mean, that’s not gone away and, and it’s, and it’s not going to is the thing, right? Like there are a lot of people and like, and I, I’ve started now that I’ve got, got it like actually like done and like scheduled and you know, I’m going through all like the, you know, um, checklist stuff before you, you go in and whatnot. And I have like my, you know, pre-up appointments and all that stuff scheduled. Exploring Surgery Options and Recovery Christina: Um, I am starting to, to look more into, I guess like, you know, I guess recovery videos that people have put up on YouTube and, and reading a few things on Reddit. Although I’m doing my best to, to stay off the internet with [00:05:00] this stuff as much as possible. Um, just because for me it’s, it’s not beneficial, right? Like, it, it’s, it’s one thing if you know, um, you, uh, you don’t like. If, if you can separate and not kind of go down rabbit holes and like freak yourself out or whatever, sure. Maybe it can be good information, but for me, like I, I know my own kind of, you know, limits in terms of, of how much is good for me. And so I’ve, I’ve tried to keep that in moderation, but I have watched a few, you know, videos of people, you know, kind of talking about their experiences. And then of course then that gets used sent with like videos of like doctors who of course, for their own reasons, like are trying to promote like, oh, well you should do the, the, the fusion versus the, the, the disc replacement and, or you should do this versus that. And I’m like, okay. I actually watched one interesting talk that, that some guy gave it a medical conference and neurologist gave it a medical conference and it was a neurosurgeon, I guess is, is the proper term. But that I think kind of really distinctly a, it was very similar to. Exactly what my surgeon said to me, [00:06:00] um, when he was kind of explaining the differences in the procedures. Um, and, and b but kind of went into, I guess like the, the difference in terms of outcomes and, um, and it made me feel better about like that if I’m a good candidate for this procedure, that, that this is, um, the right thing to, to do and probably will be better for me long term. Um, because the, the results are, are better and, but not by a small portion, not like by like a, a gargantuan portion. But they are, they are, there is like a sizable difference between outcomes in terms of whether like the average person who needs a revision, um. For, you know, cervical spine versus getting, you know, disc replacement versus, um, uh, fusion. Fusion has been around a lot longer, and so insurance companies are a lot more likely to approve that. But in Europe, they’ve been doing the, the disc replacement stuff for 25, 30 years. Um, and so there is a lot of data on it, but it’s been a much more recent thing in the United States because insurance companies didn’t really start to do it until about five or 10 years ago. And so, and so, you know, some people will, [00:07:00] like some doctors who very clearly have an agenda on, on YouTube and like, that’s fine, like your practices, your practice and you’re comfortable with what you’re comfortable with. But they’ll be like, oh, we don’t have enough data on, you know, the types of, um, you know, discs that we’re putting in people’s, you know, necks and, and how, how long they, you know, last and, and there might be some differences in terms of if you’re doing like a multi-step, meaning you’re doing like multiple discs at once. Or if, you know, depending on like what, what, what part of the spine you’re in. And like, I, I think at this point for, for artificial disc replacement in the US they’ll do it two steps. So they can do two at once, but they won’t typically do three, although they will do three in Europe. And so there are people who will go to Europe and get the three Jeff: They’re so liberal in Europe. We’ll do three. Christina: Well, I mean, I think it’s a difference in, in that case, just a matter of like, if they’ve been doing the surgeries there longer, you know, then, then they, you know, and, and, and you know, and, and this is not uncommon in, in various forms of, of medicine, you know, where like you have different, you know, procedures and different exploratory things in different fields, in different areas.[00:08:00] So anyway, so then I get kind of trapped into those rabbit holes. But the interesting, the night, the, the, I guess comforting thing is that like, you know, I’ve been reading, you know, around reading, but watching people who were doing vlogs, like after their surgery and like there was this guy who. I was a few years younger than me, but he, you know, posted some updates. I, I guess he got his in July and he kind of did like, you know, updates, you know, kind of like, you know, this was me right after surgery. This was me, you know, three weeks later. This was me however many months later. And that was really great to see. Um, and, and his, his scar actually healed really nicely, which was encouraging. So, um, yeah, I mean, I’m, I’m, I’m, I’m hopeful. I mean, the one thing that’s interesting that, like almost the universal thing that people say, of course you have a few people who say, this didn’t help or, or, you know, this, this was bad or whatever. And, and obviously like that’s always terrible to see that, but you know, you’d have to kind of like go by law of averages. But the, one of the central kind of things is a lot of people being like, I should have done this earlier. And, and so I’m feeling good about that because that is, I, I, I, I don’t know what this says about me, [00:09:00] but like there’s was never a moment in my mind where I’ve been like, oh, I’m not gonna get the surgery as soon as I can get the surgery. That’s never even been part of my like, thought process. And, and, and, and, and it’s funny because I think that like, that is actually odd compared to almost everybody else. Um, the general public, I guess, who goes into these sorts of things. Um, or at least the people who are vocal on the internet, right? So, so maybe like, maybe there are a lot more people like me who just don’t go to forums and comment on stuff and are just like, yeah, I’m gonna get the surgery because that’s what the doctor says. There’s the right thing to do, and that’s what makes sense to me and I wanna, you know, not be in pain and I wanna be able to feel my arm and all that stuff. Um, but there are a lot of people who, I don’t know why, um, I mean, I guess the idea of surgery is, is really scary. And, and like, I can, I can understand that obviously, but to the point where they’re like, okay, well no, I’m gonna try physical therapy and I’m gonna do everything I can to avoid surgical intervention. And I’m, I’m like, no. Like, like [00:10:00] freaking cut me up, doc. Right? Like, like, like, get me in, get me in. Like, let’s get better, right? Like, I, I’m not, I’m not here to like fuck around with like, ’cause right now, because the immediate pain is not there, I could be okay. Right? Like, I Jeff: Sure. Christina: try steroids, I could try pt, I could try to do other types of therapies and be like, well, maybe that will move the nerve around. Or maybe it can get the disc like UN you know, bolt, whatever the case may be. And maybe I won’t need surgery. Um, or I could let this go on longer and continue to be weakness, you know, and, and, and in, you know, it’s not like I’m not in, I’m, I’m not in active pain, but it’s not, not painful at certain times. Not worrying about is this just going to become like a permanent way that I feel, which would be. Awful. Um, and, you know, and, and, and like, it’s not the most debil debilitating thing, like I said. Um, if, if I was in a position where I, I couldn’t get surgery, obviously I could be okay right now, but you never know. Also, like, when is it going to, to swap again? Right? [00:11:00] Like, and, and, and, and for me, I’m also, I’m like, I, I don’t wanna have to like, live in fear of doing something, you know, to my arm or my neck or, or whatever, and, you know, making things worse. So, Jeff: right. Oh, I’m glad you’re doing it. Christina: yeah, me too. So anyway, that was a long-winded update, but Wow. Jeff: Yeah, that’s intense. So I’m really glad the pain is not what it was ’cause Holy shit. Christina: Yeah, the pain was, was really, really bad. And I, like, I look back now and it’s, you know, I, I guess ’cause it’s been a couple of weeks since it’s been really debilitating and it is, and again, I don’t know like that this is me or this is like just somebody else, but I, or this is me or this is the comment with other people. Sorry. Um, is that. Like when I’m not in pain anymore. It is such, so much like, I mean, depression is like this too. It’s so much like a vacuum. It’s like when you’re in it, that’s all you can see. But when you’re out of it, like it’s so easy to forget what it was like Jeff: Yeah, yeah, totally. Completely. Christina: totally completely right. Yeah. Jeff: Yeah. I can even imagine being in the [00:12:00] situation you’re describing, knowing I have a surgery coming up and being like, well, do I want to? Which, like, to your point now, you make that call and you’re worrying forever. Am I gonna wake up? And this thing’s there. Next time it happens, I gotta wait another God knows how long before the surgery, when I’ll know it’s time. Like, you know it’s time now. Get in there. Christina: No, totally, totally. And and that’s the thing. And I think sometimes it can be. Like I said, like when you’re not in the thick of, of it, whether it’s like, you know, feeling depressed or feeling overwhelmed or, or stressed or, or in physical pain or whatever, like it’s easy for to forget like what that can be like. And so I have to just kind of like remind myself like, no, this was really fucking bad. And yeah, you got through it and now you’re on the other side of it. And so you’re like, oh, okay, well, you know, I, I, I could, you know, do whatever, but you’re like, don’t, don’t forget what that was like. Right. Journaling and Mental Health Christina: Um, sometimes I think like, and, and I, and I’m bad at remembering to do this, but new thing for the new year, I guess is why, um, it is important I think to like write things down, right. Like however we’re feeling, whether it’s, you know, good, bad, whatever. [00:13:00] Sometimes, like for me, like it is Jeff: Just like journal you mean, right? Christina: Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Be, because it can be useful just to like look back and like, if you’re in a darker spot to remember, hey, there were times when I felt this way. Right. Might not bring, bring me back to that place. But it’s a good reminder. But also I think almost just, it’s importantly, it’s, it’s, it’s the inverse where it’s like you need to remember when you’re in a good place. What it can be like to be in a worse place. Um, because, you know, I think that’s why sometimes people make decisions they make about what medicines they’re going to take or not take or what therapies they’re going to continue or not continue. And, um, and it’s, and it’s really easy to get into that, you know, cycle of, okay, well I’m fine now, um, because you’re removed enough from what it felt like to be bad, you know? And, and then, and, and, and also I think sometimes like, uh, and this is why I wish that I’ve been journaling more over the last few years. You can really get yourself into a deep depression and not realize it. Jeff: Yes, yes. Yeah. And I feel like journaling too, just like helps you internalize some of the flags and [00:14:00] warning signs, even if you’re never looking back, like, ’cause you’re gonna process them a little bit. Christina: yeah, yeah. Jeff: can’t, I, I’ve journaled over the years for stints of time. I can’t go back into them. I almost like, I almost like bounce off the page when I try. Um, but I really have come to believe that just the act of doing it is the thing. Christina: agree. Jeff: Yeah, Christina: Yeah, I agree. Yeah, I, I usually don’t re reread my old stuff either, and I haven’t journaled regularly in a really, really long time, and I actually would like to get back into that again. I think it would be better for my overall health, but similar to you, it’s one of those things I wouldn’t necessarily revisit, Jeff: But now, you know, you have a document, you have a reason to go back into it. Christina: right. Well, but, but also, I mean, I think to your point, just the act of doing it, um, you know, and this is case, we’re both writers. I think this is the, the case for a lot of, of people who, who write like it, it is one of those things that like, that’s what will almost like cement it in my mind. You know what I mean? Like, as, as, as mattering [00:15:00] like, like even if it’s something innocuous, even if I don’t remember the small details of just that, that the fact that like, I’ve done it, like, like to your point, helps you kind of process things and kind of, you know, act more as kind of a therapeutic place. Jeff: Yeah, I don’t, when I’m writing like that, or just in general, I don’t feel like I’m writing from my brain or feel like I’m writing on my brain. Christina: Yeah, yeah. Jeff: It’s like I am actually putting the information in, not drawing it out weirdly. Christina: Yeah. Yeah. No, I, I know, I, I, I, I love that actually, I’ve never thought of it before. Writing on my brain. I love that. That’s really, that, I think that’s really profound. Jeff: Yeah. So there’s, um, there’s a kind of journaling that I wish I, I, well, I don’t beat myself up at all to be clear about this ’cause that I’m too old to do that anymore. The Artist’s Way and Creative Practices Jeff: Um, but there’s this book I read back in. Oh God, 2019 99 called The Artist’s Way by this woman Julie Cameron. And I don’t remember much about this book except for, and I probably have talked about it on this podcast [00:16:00] years ago at this point, but she has this practice, she calls morning Pages. And the idea is you sit down first thing in the morning, you fill three pages, you don’t think about what you’re writing or why you just keep the pen moving. And, and I, what I have found, that’s the only kind of real regular journaling I’ve ever done. It’s a great, great hack for me. ’cause it, it, I can do that. And I fill, I’ll fill a, you know, big notebook and I have a box full of them from over the years. ’cause again, I’m old. Um, but what is, I have never, I don’t think there’s been a single day that I’ve done those morning pages when I haven’t been a little surprised and something hasn’t emerged that. I’m like, I’ll think to myself, well shit, if I hadn’t have done this, where would that have stayed and lived and, and lodged itself. Right. Like, um, so anyway, I I’m glad you are bringing this up ’cause it’s reminding me of that and New Year is a great time to be thinking about that. Christina: Totally, totally. No, I love that. And I, yeah, I, I found the book The Artist’s Way, a Spiritual Path to Higher [00:17:00] Creativity. Jeff: Yes, Christina: and it’s like this yellow gold book, but like, apparently, and then like they, they, they, they, they sell Morning pages Journal, a Jeff: they do, of course. I Christina: Yeah. Yeah, of course. Jeff: it probably took her two decades to realize she should be cashing in on that, but she did. Christina: No, honestly, so the book, it looks like it was published the first one in 92, Jeff: Yeah. Christina: then they were selling the companion volume to the Artist’s Way as December 29th, 1997. Um, so, so like Jeff: that you’re doing this history. This is delightful. Christina: I, well, I just looked at Amazon is just kind of filling this out for me, so I’m, I’m, I’m, I’m, I’m, I’m, so at least it is possible that, that the, the book pages might have been even earlier than that, but like, good for her on like, recognizing there’s also a Artist’s Way workbook, um, now that was like a decade later, like 2006. Jeff: Yeah, that’s what I, maybe that’s what I’m thinking of. That came much later. Christina: Yeah, yeah. But, but it does seem like she got into that, like a David Allen kind of, you know, like, you know, whatever steps of highly, you know what I mean? Like, like all that kind of like stuff, [00:18:00] which Jeff: You’re letting the publisher have those meetings with you. Christina: Which honestly look good for you if you’re selling that many and whatnot. And, and if you come up with this journaling way, yes, sell the freaking paper. You should be selling PDF copies so that people can have it on their iPads now, like, you know, Jeff: Yeah. Christina: or, or, or on the remarkable tablets or whatever. Jeff: she had another thing actually I haven’t thought about in a long time. It wasn’t as useful to me long term. It helped me in the moment I. In the moment I was in, she called ’em artist dates and the idea was like, ’cause as you said in the title, it’s all about creativity. She was like, you, you take yourself out, go to a, whatever it is, a museum, a art supply shop, something like that. But with intention, like, I am going out to do this thing on my own alone because I know that it has some connection to what feels good to me about art and creativity and expression, whatever it was. That seems like a silly thing. Like it’s basically her saying, go to a museum. There was something about calling it an artist date. I think I was in a relationship too at the time where I was like not, it was not easy for me to [00:19:00] just go do something on my own. It was just a weird dynamic a little bit. So anyway, that was another good thing that came out of it. I mean, I, you don’t really have to work hard to tell me to go do something on my own, but at that time in my life you did. Yeah, she was great. That’s awesome. Christina: Yeah. Yeah. Uh, yeah. No, that is funny. Yeah. So yeah, so apparently that book was published in, in 1992 and, um, you know, uh, was immediately like, well, the first printing was about 9,000 copies. In 1992, the book was published by Jeremy Tarcher. Now part of Pink Wing Group revised and millions of copies have since been sold millions. Jeff: it was total like guru status by the Christina: Oh yeah, absolutely. No, absolutely. You know, and, and in a, yeah, she, she was, uh, she’s a, she was born in 1948, and so, uh, she’s still alive. She’s still kicking it. Um, Jeff: yeah. I think she made some new book that was like kind of a take on it, but it was a different, I don’t remember. Anyway. You’re the Christina: Yeah, no, no. Her, her list of like, of like books that she’s published is, she’s the, the most recent one. So she’s still doing the, the, the [00:20:00] writer’s way thing, living the, the artist’s way. An intuitive path to greater creativity. So I guess they did a 2024 version Write for Life, a toolkit for Writers Seeking wisdom, A spiritual Path to Creative Connection. Six week artist program. Jeff: it’s kind of like David Allen, where it’s like, wouldn’t it be nice to have created something when you were, whatever, reasonably younger, like 20, 30 years ago, that not only that you can ride for a long time, but you probably don’t feel bad about riding it for a long time. Right? Like, ’cause you can create things or have a band or something like that, that like your only choice is to ride that thing, but it gets pretty ugly. I see you Vince Neil. Um, but yeah, anyway, must be Christina: No, it ha it has to be nice, right? ’cause it’s like, okay, well no, and, and then it has all these little spinoff things, so it’s not like you have to feel like, I mean, although th this actually, this would, this would be an interesting idea for like a, a, a novel or a screenplay or something, which would be to be like, okay, you know, and people have have done like riffs on these things before on, on, you know, shows or whatever. But, so this would be an interesting story, I think to kind of focus on where it’s like you have somebody who is like, just famous for like, this, this one thing that they did, [00:21:00] and now their whole life has to revolve around it. But what if it was like, something that they didn’t like actually, like, believe in? Jeff: yes, Christina: what if you have the guru? What if you have the guru who’s like, actually is like, actually I don’t really, you know, I’m, I’m, I’m David Allen, but I, but I can’t actually get anything done. I have to have like a whole, you know, cadre of assistance to actually organize my, my, my, my calendar and my life. For me, you know, I don’t Jeff: Carol and Pluribus, I don’t know if you’re watching Pluribus, but that Yes. Her, her whole like book series. Clearly she was at a point where she’s like, yes, I should still ride this, but I cannot. That’s all right. Things changed for her. Um, okay. I have to tell you about something insane that happened to me at the end of 25. Christina: Okay. Alright.

I, [00:24:00] uh, I completely clean, installed my Synology after like six years. ’cause when I did. Build it. Initially, I actually didn’t really understand how to use it, and I, and I made some mistakes that because of all the stuff I put on, it was hard to sort of, I was treating it like it was gonna be an external drive and I could just kind of work with, you know, which was a huge mistake. Um, but anyway, I, it’s working so hard. It’s working so hard and it’s on my desk, which it normally wouldn’t be. So I hear this humming. Didn’t know if you heard it. Christina: I, I did not, I did not, which is a good thing. So, okay, so, all right. Uh, let, let’s, let’s go back. So what, what, yeah, I’m ready. I need to hear what happened to you at the end of 2025. All right. Unexpected Alley Incident Jeff: All right, so, um, my boys are out. They’re almost never out, but they’re both out with friends, different places. My wife and I we’re home and we were eating dinner and I got an alert from my back door ring camera, and. That almost never happens. It’s only exists to, to notify me of like alley shoppers. We’re in, in the city. We have an alley behind us and, and we get a fair amount of pretty [00:25:00] harmless alley shopping. Like it’s, is the car unlocked? If it is, you got some change. If not, I’m moving on. Um, but I like to know when they’re there. Christina: yeah, Jeff: We’ve had some bikes stolen and some people go into our garage and stuff like that. It’s very rare that it goes off less than I actually thought it would. Um, and so it goes off and it goes off at around 7:00 PM very unusual. And, uh, and so I, I, I pull it up and I look and, and I, all I can see is there’s two cars parked in the alley. I have this weird view where, um, it’s kind of a fence and then our garage. So I can see between those two things to the alley basically. So there’s two cars. That’s weird actually. And when I see some of people’s like videos about folks breaking into their cars, there’s often two that come. And so I was like, oh, okay, well it’s, I should just like go out and look. So we go and we kind of look at our, at our back window to see if we can see anything. And we’re just like, yeah, it’s weird. They’re not only parked but the headlights are off. And like, I’m gonna go out and check it out. She’s like, well first, why don’t you look at the video it recorded, which I wasn’t thinking of at all. So I pull up the video, it recorded, and I see these [00:26:00] cars park, but it’s like three or four of them come through the two that I can see park. And all of a sudden there are probably seven or eight figures running down the alley from these cars. Okay? And I’m like, well, that’s crazy. And so I walk out there and I go up to the first car and it’s got Texas plates. And around here where we have a little bit of an ice invasion, Texas plates are reported a lot. I look at the next car and it’s got no plates at all. And I look at the car after that and it’s got vanity plates, specifically chosen one with a Z. Um, and, and I’m like, oh my God. It’s the thing like ice is in my alley. And, uh, and so I come back in, I I’m like, you tell my wife, like, should probably get your coat on. I think it’s the thing is what I said. And, and we go out and sure enough, like at the end of our alley where there is a family and, and they are, um, US citizens, they’re Mexican immigrants, um, that’s where I see all these officers sort of, or these agents sort of coalescing and um, I’m gonna leave some aspects of this out. They were [00:27:00] actually, they were serving, uh, uh, narcotics warrant that ended up being totally misguided. Nothing happened of it. Um, but it was super scary. But I kind of don’t wanna say more than that because I wanna be really clear that as everyone should know about policing, a search warrant is not an indictment. Um, and oftentimes search warrants are so searching and, and, and often come up with. With nothing. Right? And, and maybe even were targeted at the wrong person. And there’s didn’t even have the name of my neighbor on it. It’s this whole thing. But the point is, it was a little different from what we’ve been hearing because there was a different agency there serving a warrant. It was the airport, airport, police department, ’cause of a package. So there was that piece, there was actually a signed warrant. ’cause everyone’s trained to say, show me the warrant. Show me the warrant. So everyone, you know, my wife and I were the first ones there. Um, and then another neighbor rolled up, and then I’ll get to the rest in a second. Um, so it, it’s shocking that it’s happening in our alley. Christina: in our alley, right? Jeff: just like, Christina: you, yeah. Jeff: what? What the Christina: I, I mean, how [00:28:00] I would feel to a certain extent would be like, I’d be like, am I in Amer in an episode of the Americans? Like, like, you know, Jeff: is, did they have to write it this way? Just ’cause how else are you gonna bring it to the people? You know? It’s, you gotta bring it to the characters. Um, so anyway, we go down there and, and there’s one, so all of the, everyone decides the airport PD guy who has no mask and is kind of like presenting like a pretty normal cop basically. And he is got a badge and a name and a number. But walking in and out of the house, all around us are these guys who are in full battle fatigues. They’ve got masks on, they’ve got ars. Um, they are, they are a weird mix of people. There’s a woman in there who’s like looking like, literally like she was cast for a movie to be, uh, an, an ice person. In this case they were Homeland Security Investigations, HSI. But it’s all intertwined at this point. Um, and then there was a guy that must have been like eight feet. That was crazy. There was a single guy that was wearing a, like a straight up like helmet, uh, for, as if he were going into battle. [00:29:00] Nobody else is wearing a helmet. Um. And none of them were talking. They were just passing through. And, um, and so we tried to engage one of them, talked to them for a little bit, do the thing you do. Hey, why don’t you take that mask off? You know, I don’t wanna get docked. I was like, uh, Christina: around. Jeff: it was like, I both understand why you don’t wanna get docked. I also feel like you’ve got the power here, brother. Um, and which was the conversation we had, um, I was like, you have a mask on. You also have your finger on the trigger of a gun. And he’s like, well, that’s not, it’s not on the trigger. This is how we hold guns, dude. I was like, I understand that, but your finger is itching at the trigger of a gun. And so he put his hands on top of the butt of the gun. ’cause it was kind of, you know, mounted the way it is. Is that better? I was like, no, you’ve still got all the power. Take the mask off. Like, at least. Um, and uh, what, what was really interesting, and I I have this sort of like wrap up that occurred to me later that kind of blew my mind is, you know, in our neighborhood, um, because ice activity has been going on all around our neighborhood, like in. Neighborhoods [00:30:00] surrounding our neighborhood or a little further out, but all within a, I could get in the car and rush out there distance. Basically we have these, we have these neighborhood signal groups. The first one that popped up was actually around my son’s school, which is very close to here and has a lot of East African and Hispanic, um, immigrants and, and, um, and so that we knew that was like, you know, people were scared there. Some kids weren’t coming to school. And so, um, some neighbors organized in such a way that they could a, have a signal, uh, communication channel. But also part of that was planning at the beginning of the day and that release time for enough people to sort of be paired up in areas around the school, but not so close that it freaks the kids out. That like if something happened, there could be sort of a rapid response. So we had that signal group. There’s a broader signal group that probably covers like a four block area, and then there’s a wider one that’s our wider neighborhood basically. And that one’s like a rapid response signal group. So these have been going. Pretty, like consistently [00:31:00] ever since it was announced that we were getting ICE and Homeland Security folks here. Um, so the network was all in place. And, and so I’m out there initially and I see all the cars. I’m like, holy shit. Wife and I go to the end of the block. We start talking to first the airport PD guy who’s there, and then the the one HSI guy who comes out. Then another neighbor, another neighbor. I go back to take pictures of the plates because folks around here are keeping a registry that you can get through the signal group of all of the makes and models of cars that we know have been at these, um, kind of ICE activities or homeland security activities, and then their license plates. And so there’s like a running log, which has happened in other cities too. So I was taking pictures of all the cars. Um, but I was pretty like, I mean, I’ve been through some shit and. Having it in your alley is very different from going halfway across the world as like an activist or something. Um, and having it ha neighbors are people we know and care about. And so knowing that, not knowing what’s happening for them, which I don’t mean to bury that lead [00:32:00] ’cause I’m kind of getting to that part, but I also want to just respect their privacy. Um, so like the thing I should have mentioned at the top is like, we know these folks and it was fucking terrifying to be standing there arguing with these HSI guys knowing that at some point, or just assuming at some point these people we know are gonna be dragged outta the house in front of us. And then it was just like this constant question of what the fuck will we do? Then? It did not happen to be really clear, uh, ahead of time. So I’m taking pictures of these cars, I’m like, oh shit. I’m supposed to notify like the signal group, but I’ve got, I’ve got all the presence I need to take pictures of cars. I’ve got the presence I need to engage these guys, which my wife was doing plenty good job of, so I could just like walk away and do the license plate thing. But when I pulled up my phone. To open signal. I opened Slack three times, like I could not, I got an S into my search, my app search, and like kept clicking the wrong thing. I was shaking. It was also freezing out and so like I’m shaking and so [00:33:00] thank God it occurred to me. I have one friend I know on this signal group that I, I know would answer the phone, so I called her. I called her and I was like, I need to be quick. Here are like the fundamental details. Can you please notify? The signal group and the rapid response people. So that was great. She did initially, the first group that showed up, which was just incredible, were like all of our neighbors, we all know this family. Like it’s not, they are just neighbors. It’s not like it’s a special offset group or something. Like they’re neighbors. So all of the neighbors show up. We have a really tight block. Um, that was incredible because it’s not like it’s a neighbor of activists. It’s what’s been incredible about this stuff from the beginning, which is like how easy it seems to be for people to pop outta their house and be like, Uhuh. Like it seems like, it seems like a lot of people are not feeling inhibited about that, which I think is really cool. And I totally respect the people that feel inhibited, right? Like, ’cause it’s just, it’s a whole thing to go out there. So we had this great group of neighbors and they were all, we had a public school teacher who was just killing it with this one HSI guy. It was so, [00:34:00] so good to watch and it felt really powerful and I think she was doing a really good job of trying to sort of like. Knock some things into this guy’s head knowing that like, you know, you’re in a dynamic that kind of you, there’s not a lot of room for things to change. Right. But given that she, it was really just inspiring watching her do her thing and then the like rapid response community showed up, which is like a mix of, you know, folks who are kind of just dedicated neighbors and then people who are sort of what you might call the usual suspects, right? Like the people you would expect, especially in South Minneapolis to show up at a thing like this. And I don’t know if you’ve heard about the thing people do with whistles around these things. Christina: Yeah. Well, I, I, all I’ve heard is that, and I ha, so all I know is I think sometimes people have whistles and kind of like, like, like blow them, almost like to alert people like that, that like, like the, like the, the, the, that like ice is there. Jeff: Yes, exactly. And that yes, that’s exactly it. And that’s been going on here and, [00:35:00] and everybody’s getting whistle. You know, sometimes when you get a good, it’s, I’m not calling it a bit, ’cause I’ll tell you in a minute why it was effective, um, in ways that I hadn’t anticipated. But, uh, you know, it’s like a, it’s, I can do this, I can get a whistle, I’m gonna get a whistle, right? Like, that’s something I can do. Like, it’s something that really caught on and there’s all these whistles being passed around and people on the neighborhood group being like, got a bag of whistles if you wanna come by. So I, ima imagine at this point that when these HSI or ICE people roll up to a thing before they get out, they’re like T minus 15 minutes to whistles, right? Like, this is how long we have before everyone shows up. And, and so pretty soon it’s whistles everywhere. I had a neighbor who kept putting off her, um. Car alarm just to make more crazy noise. We had another neighbor next to this neighbor who is a very conservative like Trump guy who, when he doesn’t like the noise that’s happening in the neighborhood sets off fireworks. And for some reason he was like, I’m gonna do the thing I do, even though there’s all these guys with guns and I’m gonna set off fireworks. But in that case, ’cause he is pissed off at all of us, like it was so [00:36:00] fucking chaotic for a minute. Um, but it was, it was an incredible thing to see how quickly people can deploy basically. Um, ’cause we aren’t like Chicago where like we’ve had a lot of activity here, but it’s been pretty quiet activity. Like, it’s like what happened here? It’s like you and your neighbors know about it and maybe 20 people showed up from your neighborhood rapid response. But like, they’re not the kinds of stories that. They’re not landing on rooftops, they’re not showing up with a hundred cars and calling people away. They’re hauling one person at a time away. And you hear about it here and there, but it’s been very quiet, unlike Chicago. Um, and so to have it given that, especially to have it show up just in your alley was like really, really insane. Um, so anyway, so it all, fortunately the, the police HSI, everybody left with nothing. They did not carry our neighbors away. They did not have any, any result of this warrant that we could tell. But of course, we’re not gonna know. Another [00:37:00] theme of this is how, how hard it is for good information to be resilient in a moment like this, right? That’s a whole other theme. And that, that’s one that gets me kinda riled up when people start after the fact or during the fact really kind of shouting out almost things that are wrong. Like the, the call that went out. For people to come. Said there were six cars in my alley with Texas plates, but I was very clear, there are six cars in my alley. One of them has Texas plates, right? So it’s like, that kind of stuff is a little spooky, but here’s what happened. So at the end it was all over. Our neighbors were able to pop out, wave at everybody, thank everybody. They had been handcuffed this family, um, in their living room while HSI figured out if they were citizens. And, um, what had what the whistles meant in this case was that they knew people were all over around the house. And that was, I’m sure, a level of comfort to know that like something’s happening out there. And then we learned later that there was an immigrant family down the block in the [00:38:00] other direction, across kind of a thoroughfare that we’re on the intersection of who heard the whistles and knew like, let’s stay in the house. There’s a lot going on out there. I dunno what it is, but now I hear whistles. Let’s stay in the house. And, um, and so it was quite a, quite a thing. Family Activism and Signal Setup Jeff: And what I kind of realized afterwards. Was we started this year. My family, my in-laws, my in-laws especially, were very, they’re, they’re, they’re very, um, active. They do kind of activist work, but it’s very like, um, service oriented. But they’ll go to an anti-war protest. They’ll go, you know, they’ll do the thing. They’re, they’re lovely people. And my father-in-law, especially at the beginning of the year, I was like, I don’t know what’s coming. Um, I hear that it’s good for everyone to have signal if we wanna be able to communicate to each other. So I wanna learn how to use signal. And so I helped him, my mother-in-law set it up. I created kind of a family group for Signal and everyone was setting up signal, right? Like at that point, not knowing what was gonna come. It wasn’t even January 20th yet. Unexpected End of Year Incident Jeff: And I wrapped up my year activating a signal network for rapid response because I [00:39:00] had masked people in my alley with guns refusing to identify themselves driving cars from out of state. That is insane. And I was like, that looks pretty tight. Season wrap up. Like, what the fuck? Because I kind of had gotten to the point, I guess prior to when ICE got here in, in the first place, I’d gotten to the point where I’m like, I don’t even really think about Signal anymore. Um, but then they came here and it, and it popped up. So that’s what, that’s what happened in my alley. Um, at the end of the year. Christina: And, and, and, and, and, and I mean, and, and, and you said, you said your neighbors are okay. Speculations and Concerns Christina: I mean, do, do you know anything more about like, like what, what happened or like what the, what the situation was? Jeff: I don’t know anymore. And that’s where I’m like a little cautious because since it was like a warrant for something, it was a narcotics warrant, right? Like, I, I have no idea what happened there. I don’t know. I can, I can only speculate. Um, but I know that the, the [00:40:00] name on that warrant was not someone that lives there. Um, so I can tell you that ’cause I saw the warrant. Um, and, and that’s the most I really feel comfortable saying. Christina: Fair enough. Yeah. I, I, I, I, yeah. I’m not, I’m not trying to like, Jeff: No, I get it. I get it. That’s me actually. Dealing with Law Enforcement Jeff: I’ve been wrestling with like, how much, even on the, I kind of like was asking people to be cautious, even on the signal, because they were sharing details about the warrant. I was like, Hey, details in a warrant. Do not share those, because that sticks to people. And like the details in the warrant were just like, no, we’re not gonna do this. Even when the guy read me the warrant, I was like, are you serious about that? He’s like, oh man, for sure. Okay, sounds good. Let’s, we’ll talk in an hour when you’re all done and you don’t have anything. Like I, I’ve been down this road before. I was a reporter for a long time, like I watched The Wire. Um, Christina: exactly. I was gonna say, yeah, I was gonna say the, the sort of reporting I did, like, yeah, I watched the Wire. Um, so would be Jeff: I said that to the guy. I didn’t say I watched the, yeah, I didn’t say I watched The Wire to the guy, but I was like, he [00:41:00] kept gaslighting us and I was like, come on man. Like you and I we’re smart people, you and I, and that was me being generous. But like, we’re smart people. You and I like, we know this thing you’re saying. It’s like, it’s totally not the case. Like when I asked him. The airport PD guy. What’s up with the cars with Texas plates and no plates and vanity plates? I don’t know, I don’t coordinate with those guys. I was like, okay, that’s weird. ’cause like here you are and they’re walking all around you. Surely you coordinated with them enough to get them here. It was just like, what the fuck? Just so much gaslighting that I won’t even get into, but it was just nonstop. But I was so proud watching my neighbors when the rapid responsible showed up. It was a, there’s always like some people in those situations where I, I, I get pretty activated around lack of discipline and I understand how that happens. But having been in like really super high stakes situations where people could, and who this was one, right? Like I don’t, I don’t react well internally to people who I feel like are working out something that’s theirs. Um, [00:42:00] and at the same time, how do we know how to process this, right? Like, I don’t, we, it was something incredible to watch Mask men and one masked woman walking up and down my alley, bumping past me with guns, with masks, with no idea, with no badges, refusing to pro produce any saying, why does it matter anyhow, saying how much threat they’re under, seeing how they get followed, like just, it was, it was an incredible thing. I had my reaction, but my reaction was based on wiring, based on really intense, unusual experiences. Um, other people, this is new to them. This kind of thing is new to me too, but, so anyway, I, I just like, I saved that. I didn’t even tell you guys when it happened. I’m like, I’ll just tell them on the podcast. ’cause Christina: yeah, no, I mean, that’s, that’s wild. I mean, like, and it’s just, it’s just, well, and, and it’s, I don’t know, it’s so dystopic, right? Like, it’s such a, like a, a terrible like thing to like have to like witness part of, right? Because like, look, yeah, there are going to be circumstances when maybe like, you know, Homeland Security or somebody else, like really actually does need to be involved and, you know, [00:43:00] um, you know, at your neighbor’s house. And like, that’s unfortunate, right? But like, there, there are real circumstances where that could be a case. Like I, I, I, I, I mentioned the, the Americans earlier, that was like, based Jeff: I need to watch that. Christina: It’s a great show. But, but the, the, the, uh, a former CIA agent was one of the, the, the, the creators. But the, um, the idea came to like, uh, one of the showrunners basically, he read an article, I think in the New Yorker or something about a, a family that like seemed like, just like the perfect, like normal family next door. And like the kids came home from school one day and the parents had been picked up because it turns out that they had been Russian spies living in the United States for like 20 years. And like, they were like actual Russian spies. And, and then that kind of like went into, okay, well, well, well, what happens then? Like, what happens to that family and, and what happens to get to that point? Like, what happens? Like if your neighbors are those things, right? And so there are those like very much like stranger than fiction. Like, like things, right? But in most cases, that’s not the circumstance. And, and certainly the way that like all this has been handled and the way that they’re doing all of this treat things for, [00:44:00] you know, like whatever the warrants were for whatever the situations are where they’re like, okay, now we’re gonna bring all these other groups in. We’re not going to have any due process at all, and we’re not going to, to bother with any sort of thing of humanity at all and then freak everybody else out, like is just, you know, then, and then it puts you like, as, as the neighbor, like in this position where you’re like, okay, well how do we get the word out? How do we help, how do we, you know, make sure that if’s something, is that if this is something that you know, isn’t what we, what we think that it is or whatever, that we can make sure that they’re not going to be. ’cause we see all the reports all the time. I mean, US citizens are getting arrested for, Jeff: Yeah, totally. Christina: the wrong way, Jeff: Oh yeah, we had a, we had a woman here probably, I think she was like in her sixties, and she walked out of her house ’cause there was something happening across the street. And in moments she was in the car, she was gone. Her husband didn’t know where she was. She was released later that day. Like we’ve had a lot of stories like that. And so that was stressful too, going in, right? Like when my partner and I went, went up to talk to this guy, I, I left down the alley to take pictures, but I [00:45:00] was like looking over my shoulder constantly. ’cause she and I have talked about how, like, can you imagine if one of us was taken and we didn’t know? And I was like, oh, we are in a situation right now where no way can I say, there’s no chance one of us will be taken. Like, no way. And you know, the longer you’re there, the more you push it a little bit, you know, not push it like physically or something, but just like push it a little more people out front. Someone kicked an ice car in, in an HSI car and got like pepper sprayed or whatever. Um, Christina: and it’s, and it’s like, don’t do that. Like, don’t like, Jeff: Well, it’s funny because, it’s funny because that per I, this is, I, I know there are people listening who will think I’m such an asshole for this, but I, to I, I feel zero apologetic for it. Reflections on Responsibility Jeff: So I am, I’m not like a huge fan, like kick the car when there’s a family that we don’t know how they’re doing and these people are around, like, don’t escalate in that way with these people. Don’t set off fireworks behind the guys that have their fingers resting near triggers. Like you Christina: That’s what I’m saying. That, that, yeah. Jeff: yeah, you just don’t do that. Uh, but here’s the part that makes me sound like an asshole and, and I don’t mind at all. [00:46:00] Um, they were, they were the only person that was pepper sprayed. And, and it was this, you know, certain people that come from outside the neighborhood. It was this very dramatic thing, whatever they pepper spray, you know, whatever. And I was like, what, what happened? They kicked the car. I was like, eh, I’m going in like, I mean like, yeah, you got pepper spray because you kicked the car. I assume you were in for that. Like you signed just like the guy with the mask who’s worried about being docked. He signed up for this dude. Christina: I was gonna say, you, you, you, you signed up for this, you, you, you, you’ve signed up because you saw Christina O’s you know, like ridiculous, like, you know, like, come, come join Ice, you know, like, like, you know, freaking social media, you know, posts or whatever, like there ads you’re doing like, yeah. Like you, you know exactly what you’re doing, so fuck off. I don’t, yeah, I have zero. Jeff: I I said you signed up for this. I did not sign up for this. I said you signed up for all of it, dude. Like you Christina: Yeah, absolutely. No, I mean, honestly, well, well look, you know, it’s the same thing like the military, frankly, like, you know, like in the, in, in the seventies and stuff, and we saw, you know, more of it then, like, I’m not saying that it was like the, the right or like nice or like humane thing to spit in the, in their faces. [00:47:00] Right. But like. Especially after the draft was gone. Like, you sign up for that shit, Jeff: It’s a tough man. I, I had that, I, that experience throughout the Iraq war where. I knew. I mean, there’s the economic draft. There’s all right, there’s all these reasons people end up in war. But at the end of the day, when I am walking around a city I love, and other Americans are there in armor and Humvees and they have destroyed a city, I feel like this is what you signed up for. It’s not what you signed up for, but it is literally what you signed. Same with police. It’s a little bit Christina: that’s Jeff: I totally respect the trauma. I respect that you’re in situations where Christina: that’s real. No. Jeff: your values. Like I Christina: Absolutely. Absolutely. And, and, and that, that is real. And, and to your point, there might be like, like economic scenarios, drafts and other scenarios where like you’re like, well, I had a choice, but I didn’t have a choice. Okay, but you knew that this was a trade off. Like you knew that this was a thing that comes with, with, with the territory. If it comes with adulation, but it comes with the bad stuff too. Right. Jeff: And if you’re killing people, I don’t feel super bad about saying that. I feel super bad for you for having to live with that [00:48:00] fact. But like I don’t feel bad for saying, Hey man, Christina: well, I mean, like, and, and it’s a Jeff: have said no. Christina: and it’s a completely different like thing. I’m not even trying to categorize it the same way. ’cause it’s, it’s not. But like, just, just like in, in my life, you know, people oftentimes will like, yell at me about stuff that they don’t like, about, like the companies like that I work for. And you know, what I, I’m, I’m part of my job is to kind of be a public face for, for those things. And that means that I get yelled at and that’s okay. And like that, that I, I quite literally knew that I signed up for that. Does that mean that I always appreciate it? That is, does that mean that I don’t get annoyed sometimes? Does that mean that I like being like tarred and feathered with like mistakes or decisions that like, I had nothing to do with Absolutely not right. But like, that’s quite literally part of my job. So, you know, it, it, it is. So I can’t like turn around and be like, oh, well, you know, you can’t, you know, like. You know, say, say this to me, or whatever. Right. Um, but, and, and again, I realize it’s a completely different scale of things. I’m not in any way trying to equate the, the, the, the two [00:49:00] scenarios, Jeff: No, but it’s, I mean, it is, yeah, Christina: but all of us, but all of us, we have jobs and we do things and like in a case like this, like if you work for those agencies, right. Especially right now, and like I recognize and I can be sympathetic that you may not have signed up. Under these circumstances. Having said that, I will say that if you signed up in the last eight years, you knew that these were things that were going in a certain direction, right? Um, I, I, I, I, I will, I will further say that like I, I’m not gonna say that like every single person is involved, but I will say like in the last eight years, you’ve, you’ve seen which way the wind was going and, and, and, and, and that’s okay. You can make that decision and, and like, I’m not gonna judge you or your character as a person for that decision. I’m, I’m, I’m, I’m not. ’cause we all have to make decisions about where we work. Having said that, that just also means like what we’ve been saying, you’re gonna have to deal with some shit. You’re gonna deal with people recording your face. You’re gonna have to deal with people being angry with you. You’re gonna have to deal with, to your point, people kicking the cop car. And if that’s all that happens and like, and, and, and, and it’s not gonna lead to another escalation point, that’s fine. I, I’m with you. I

Day 1,408. At the start of the fifth calendar year of the full scale invasion, attacks across Ukraine saw the beginning of 2026 marked with yet more death, injury and destruction across Ukraine. It has also seen General Budanov named as Andrii Yermak's replacement, a remarkable double-cross operation by Budanov's military intelligence department and a rebuttal by the CIA into claims by Moscow earlier this week that Ukraine tried to attack Putin directly. We report how Australian tanks have been in action around Pokrovsk, Chechen warlord Ramzan Kadyrov has been rushed to hospital and Finnish authorities have boarded and seized a Russian vessel in the Baltic. Plus, we have an interview with a journalist looking at Colombian fighters who have joined Ukraine's foreign legion.

It all began in November 1961, when Arthur Duperrault, a 40-year-old optometrist from Green Bay, Wisconsin, finally set out to give his family the adventure he had been dreaming of for years. Arthur had built a thriving practice specializing in contact lenses, a career that afforded him comfort and stability. But he wanted more than the routines of Midwestern life. What he craved was experience, something unforgettable for himself, for his wife Jean, and for their children: 14-year-old Brian,  11-year-old Terry Jo, and little René, just 7 years old. For years, Arthur had talked about escaping the bitter Wisconsin winters, of trading frost for sunlight and snow for turquoise waters. The Bahamas, in particular, held a special place in his memory. He had promised himself then that he would one day return with the family he dreamed of building. That promise became a plan, and over time, a quiet obsession.

A lifelong Kansas City Chiefs fan – born and raised in Missouri, now living in Kansas – delivers a raw, heartfelt breakdown of the team's bombshell move across the state line: excitement for the new dome and what it means for fans… mixed with deep concern over the $3 billion deal's hidden risks to taxpayers. Doug Billings on The Right Side pulls no punches: politicians promise "not one dime" from your pocket, but is that the full truth? With empathy for Missouri's loss and tough questions for Kansas leaders, this 15-minute fire mission demands accountability while celebrating Chiefs Kingdom. If you bleed red and hate wasteful spending, you NEED to watch this. Hit play now — your wallet might thank you. Subscribe to Doug's YouTube Channel at: @TheRightSideDougBillings  @DougBillings on X/Truth  #Chiefs #MAGA #AmericaFirstSupport the show

Another vintage Bald and Bingeable, originally released on 04/20/2021, this is the first time Dangilo and Doctor Carlton ever talked on pod and you can hear the impotence for what eventually became BUTT HONESTLY. In this episode Dangilo brings you in on one of his favorite bingeable TikTok Creators, Doctor Carlton, a gay gastroenterologist (aka. G.I. Doctor) that knows the medical side of things but is no stranger to anal sex himself. Dangilo asks "The Butt Stuff Doc" about how it feels to wake up to 1 million views and 50k followers after his simple video tackling the taboo topic of BUTT SEX blew up overnight. The LOWER LEVEL segment has Doctor Carlton answering some of Dangilo's friend's and follower's questions like, "How much should I douche before butt sex?", "Is there an anal pap smear?" and even how hot the water should be when cleaning out. They round out their talk with the doctor's favorite binge: RuPaul's Drag Race and discuss the RU-union and the top 4 girls of Season 13.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Day 1,391.Today, we assess what some are calling a “breakthrough” in talks between Europe, Ukraine, and the United States, after reports that Washington is offering Kyiv security guarantees equivalent to NATO's Article 5. But is the proposal all it appears to be – and would Vladimir Putin ever accept it? We then report a first in military history: the sinking of a submarine in port by a drone, before examining internal pressures within Russian society, and reflecting on what Moscow has done to the Ukrainian city of Mariupol, reopening its destroyed theatre with a performance many see as shockingly insensitive.ContributorsFrancis Dearnley (Executive Editor for Audio). @FrancisDearnley on X.Roland Oliphant (Chief Foreign Analyst). @RolandOliphant on X.James Kilner (Russian Analyst). @jkjourno on X.SIGN UP TO THE ‘UKRAINE: THE LATEST' WEEKLY NEWSLETTER:http://telegraph.co.uk/ukrainenewsletter Each week, Dom Nicholls and Francis Dearnley answer your questions, provide recommended reading, and give exclusive analysis and behind-the-scenes insights – plus maps of the frontlines and diagrams of weapons to complement our daily reporting.

The head of NATO warns that the West faces the prospect of war with Russia on a scale not seen since the days of “our grandparents and great-grandparents” and we examine the latest diplomatic manoeuvres ahead of tomorrow's meeting in Paris, where the question of territorial concessions will be front and centre.

Day 1,386.Today, as Ukraine fires hundreds of drones into Russia – forcing the closure of all major Moscow airports – we report on how the maritime war is intensifying, with Kyiv striking shadow fleet tankers in the Black Sea and oil rigs in the Caspian Sea.

Day 1,383.Today, after a weekend marked by continued talks in Florida between the Ukrainian and American delegations and President Donald Trump's comments blaming Zelensky for stalling negotiations, the Ukrainian president meets British PM Keir Starmer, French President Macron and German Chancellor Merz in London today. The talks, which finished as we were recording this episode, opened with Germany's ‘scepticism' of US peace proposals and France's assurance that ‘Europe had a lot of cards in its hands.' Meanwhile, Russia targets a dam near Kharkiv which supplies water to Ukraine's second biggest city. Finally, we discuss the US's National Security Strategy and the current state of Ukraine's air defence.
