8 febbraio 2025 - Seth Cropsey e Federico Petroni

Federico Petroni"Festival Limes 2025"Genova, Palazzo DucaleL'ordine del caosUn giro del mondo delle crisi geopolitiche a partire da quella americana, con Trump appena insediatodal 7 al 9 febbraio 2025La dodicesima edizione del Festival di Limes è una ricognizione delle molteplici crisi geopolitiche in corso a cominciare da quella americana, con Donald Trump appena insediato. Il ritorno di Trump alla Casa Bianca certifica la “stanchezza imperiale” degli Stati Uniti e la ritrosia, oltre che la difficoltà, dell'America a fungere da soggetto ordinatore del contesto internazionale.I fronti di guerra che si moltiplicano nel mondo – ultima, in ordine di tempo, la dissoluzione del regime siriano – sono il sintomo più evidente di un ordine mondiale in tumultuosa e violenta trasformazione.Il Festival porta a Genova, come ogni anno, gli analisti di Limes e altre personalità italiane e straniere, per confrontarsi sui grandi temi del momento: le divisioni interne dell'America e l'impatto del fenomeno Musk sulla “costituzione materiale” del paese, l'incipiente crisi della Germania, il confronto Usa-Cina che entra ora in una nuova fase, stato e prospettive della guerra in Ucraina, la situazione mediorientale e altro ancora, con un occhio particolare alla posizione e alle opzioni dell'Italia.sabato 8 febbraio 2025ore 10 > America vs AmericaIl ritorno di Trump alla presidenza è causa ed effetto delle profonde spaccature che segnano oggi il panorama sociopolitico ed economico degli Stati Uniti. Verso una nuova “età dell'oro” o un'accelerazione del declino?con Seth Cropsey, fondatore e presidente dello Yorktown Institute, già ufficiale di Marina e vicesottosegretario della U.S. Navye Federico Petroni, consigliere redazionale di Limes e coordinatore didattico Scuola di Limesmodera Agnese Rossi, collaboratrice di Limes, analista geopolitica e studiosa di filosofiaIL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Itamar Marcus, Founder and Director of Palestinian Media Watch I spoke with Edomar Marcus about the threats that Israel is now facing from inside territory that is ostensibly being controlled by the good Palestinians, the Palestinian Authority said to be Israel's reliable partner for peace, if only it could have its own state. Well, we learned that the Palestinian Authority is right up there with Hamas in extolling the virtues of jihad against Israel and exhorting its people to engage in intifada and violent attacks both in Judea and Samaria and in Israel proper. Clearly, this is evidence of the worst kind of Sharia supremacist intent and hardly an outfit to which Israel should be insistently coerced into making concessions. Seth Cropsey, Author of “Seablindness” I spoke with Seth Cropsey about the state of the United States Navy and the extraordinary challenge it now faces from a Chinese Navy that is not only quantitatively and qualitatively superior, but evermore, it appears, poised for combat operations against our service and what we must do to try to right the ship. Elliot Shodov, Political and Military Analyst, Hamartzim Educational Services Elliot Shodov, major of Israel Defense Forces Reserves, and I spoke about the state of the IDF's operations at the moment in the West Bank.

Seth Cropsey, president of Yorktown Institute, joins to discuss how last week's NATO summit in Washington, DC, showed cracks in NATO's current foundation. With the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, coupled with shifting geopolitical dynamics, NATO is now facing a period of intense self-reflection and strategic reassessment. The alliance has long been a cornerstone of transatlantic security, but questions now arise about its ability to adapt to new threats and maintain its relevance in an increasingly complex global landscape. What was left out of the conversation during the recent 75th anniversary NATO conference?

As the Israel Defense Forces appear to have almost completed their mission to defeat Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists in Rafah, a Gazan city along the Egyptian border, the Islamic Republic of Iran is activating Hezbollah, its proxy in southern Lebanon at Israel's northern border. Behind Hezbollah, behind Hamas, behind Islamic Jihad, behind the Houthi rebels in Yemen, and multiple Shia militias in Syria and Iraq is an expanding jihadist empire whose metropole is in Tehran.Seth Cropsey, former naval officer and deputy undersecretary of the Navy, recently wrote in the Wall Street Journal that Israel faces a tough choice: to go to war directly against the Tehran regime now, or to go war against the Tehran regime later. He joins host Cliff May along with FDD's RADM (Ret.) Mark Montgomery to discuss his article and Tehran's war strategy, the Houthi chokehold on commercial shipping, and Beijing's threat to Taiwan.

As the Israel Defense Forces appear to have almost completed their mission to defeat Hamas terrorists in Rafah, a Gazan city along the Egyptian border, the Islamic Republic of Iran is utilizing Hezbollah, its proxy in Lebanon, to attack – even more aggressively – Israel's northern territories. Behind Hezbollah, behind Hamas, behind Islamic Jihad, behind the Houthi rebels in Yemen, and multiple Shia militias in Syria and Iraq is an expanding jihadist empire whose metropole is in Tehran.Seth Cropsey, former naval officer and deputy undersecretary of the Navy, recently wrote in the Wall Street Journal that Israel faces a tough choice: to go to war directly against the Tehran regime now, or to go war against the Tehran regime later. He joins host Cliff May along with FDD's RADM (Ret.) Mark Montgomery to discuss his article and Tehran's war strategy, the Houthi chokehold on commercial shipping, and Beijing's threat to Taiwan.

Israel cannot tolerate incoming missiles and drones in the north of the country by the Hezbollah, which is a proxy or Iran. And soon it is believed that Iran will have nuclear capability and become an even bigger threat, not just for Israel, but for the West as well. So what should Israel do? Strike now, or strategize for later? Tamar interviews author Seth Cropsey, a former U.S. naval officer and a deputy undersecretary of the United States Navy. His recent article published in the Wall Street Journal, is called: 'War Between Israel and Iran Is Inevitable': The question is now or later. Strategy argues for now, even if the politics might be better later.

It’s a big scary world out there–or so we’re told. But how do we sort what to worry about and what not to? We say: bring on some guys who know their stuff! That’s why Dr. Jay Bhattacharya is back. He wants to keep us calm, despite the return of variant hysteria; he and the hosts talk Omicron and a world limping its way back to normal. Then, Seth Cropsey, senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, joins the gang to take us through the vanishing power vacuum left by the US, Putin’s goals in Ukraine, and the future of American naval power. Abandon all hope? Or can we bounce back? Listen to find out! Plus we’ve got James’ thoughts on the Golden State; Rob talks EU, sugar cubes and the creeping pace of bad policy and the disasters they create; Peter’s wife is none too pleased to see the Pelosi’s latest purchase; and the gang is happy to see that Democrats are losing ground with the non-crazies.
