A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away… Back when I was at university, there was a guy who was part of some kind of weird political Muzlamik organization. (Muzlamik is a made up word - it means kinda' sorta' tryin' to be Muslim or Islamic but not really). And, one day the Muzlamik political guy got really clever. When the UK and the US had just gone to war with Iraq, all the students on campus (including the vast majority of the Muslim students), joined the "Stop The War" campaign and organized the 2 Million man anti-war march in London. But for some reason, this particular character didn't like the way we were all going about it - campaigning side-by-side with all those lefties. Something had to be done about it.
Was this the week that shattered the western alliance? Not so fast, says Group Chief Economist Neil Shearing. Despite the strains of a Trump presidency, deep economic dependencies on the US suggest that talk of a new international order is overblown. Neil cuts through the Davos rhetoric to explain the reality of the current global macro landscape.Later in the show, as the fourth anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine approaches, Senior EM Economist Liam Peach explains what many get wrong about Russia's economy. He explores how initial resilience has finally given way to weakness, but also why this shift is unlikely to force Putin into meaningful concessions to end the war.Referenced in this episode:Analysis hub: Japan's reinflationary reawakeningDrop-In: The shape of the fractured world in 2026EM Financial Risk Indicators
2026-01-20 | UPDATES #109 | The Kremlin's Coming Economic Squeeze and potential mobilisation prompts whispers of discontent from Russian Oligarchs. In Putin's Russia, oligarchs don't speak their minds, and certainty cannot critique power, or the decision that are made by the Tsar. They make noises that approximate dissent, coded signals with critical subtext. But if you read between the lines, the message is always the same: this war is eating the system alive – consuming the country's economic potential and resources — but nobody is allowed to say that out loud. Today's signal flare comes from a familiar messenger: Oleg Deripaska.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------SOURCES: Reuters (Aug 9, 2024): Deripaska called war “mad,” urged ceasefire without preconditions Guardian (Feb 27, 2022): Deripaska Telegram post “Peace is very important…” Fortune (Mar 28, 2022): Deripaska Telegram post “hellish ideological mobilization,” war may last years TASS (Jan 2026): Deripaska “settlement cheaper than war” framing Meduza (Jan 9, 2025): elite disappointment war didn't end; economic tensions Kyiv Independent summary (Jan 10, 2025) NEST Centre analysis (Dec 2025): elite winners/losers, limited leverage ----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur events of the first half of the year in Lviv, Kyiv and Odesa were a huge success.

251126PC Stop the War – Now!Mensch Mahler am 26.11.2025Der russische Angriffskrieg auf die Ukraine könnte im 3. Kriegswinter endlich zu Ende gehen. Wenigstens ein Waffenstillstand scheint in greifbarer Nähe zu sein. Endlich sind die USA und Europa gemeinsam dabei, eine Verhandlungslösung vorzuschlagen. Und sie haben eine Menge in der Hand: Ohne die Unterstützung der NATO muss die Ukraine sofort kapitulieren, will sie nicht von Russland überrollt und komplett kassiert werden. Jetzt kommt es auf 2 Faktoren an: Natürlich ist es zu hoffen, dass Putin sich auf irgendeine Art der Verhandlungslösung einlässt. Lange wird er den für sein eigenes Volk verlustreichen Zermürbungskrieg nicht mehr durchhalten können. Und die Ukraine muss sich auf Gebietsabtretungen einlassen. Mit oder ohne Selenskyj. Seine No-Go-Politik, was die Abgabe von Gebieten angeht, die überwiegend von russischen Menschen bewohnt ist, ist nicht länger durchzuhalten. Natürlich geht es da auch um Bodenschätze – allen voran die seltenen Erden, auf die die ganze Welt scharf ist.Gestern war der ukrainische Botschafter Makeiev im Morgenmagazin. Ja, es ist ein europäischer Krieg. Und es ist auch jetzt schon ein Weltkrieg. Ich denke, die westliche, freie Welt muss jetzt mit allen Mitteln den Aggressor stoppen. So wie sie es von 1944 bis 1945 schon einmal getan hat. Putin hat bewiesen, dass er die Bombe nicht zünden wird. Weil klar ist, dass dann sofort Moskau in Rauch aufgehen würde. Jetzt muss Schluss sein. Mögen die Verhandlungen endlich wenigstens zum Waffenstillstand führen. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Whoever dwells whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress, my god, whom I trust, surely he will save you from the Fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence, he will cover you with his feathers and under his wings. You will find refuge. His faithfulness will be your shield and your rampart. You will not fear the terror of the night, nor will you, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence the stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. 1000 they may fall at your side. 10s of 1000s at fall at your right hand, but it will not come near you. You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. If you say, Lord is my refuge and make the Most High your dwelling. No harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/faith-love-trust--3493635/support.

Starmer vs Russia: No War in Our Name! You're No Churchill or Thatcher! RESIGN! Starmer #Russia #StopTheWar #Ukraine #Putin Is Keir Starmer pushing Britain closer to war with Russia? Jon Gaunt exposes how the Labour leader is talking tough on Putin while failing at home – from Dover's migrant crisis to surrendering British territories like the Chagos Islands. Starmer backs Ukraine drone strikes, increases defence spending promises with no dates, and now entertains conscription talk — echoing Tony Blair's Iraq war mistakes. But the British people don't want another war. They want secure borders, accountability, and real leadership — not Churchill cosplay. Jon Gaunt breaks down: • Starmer's reckless war rhetoric • The truth behind UK-US support for Ukraine's drone attacks • Why Starmer's comparisons to Churchill or Thatcher fall flat • Border failures and migrant chaos • Conscription fears and the lack of public support Subscribe, share, and comment your thoughts on whether Starmer should resign before dragging the UK further into global conflict. #Starmer #Russia #StopTheWar #Ukraine #Putin #NoWarInOurName #UKPolitics #Conscription #BorderCrisis #Thatcher #Churchill #Zelensky #MigrantCrisis #KeirStarmer With Hashtags #KeirStarmer, #NoWar, #RussiaUK, #StarmerVsPutin, #JonGaunt, #Churchill, #Thatcher, #UKPolitics, #UkraineWar, #Zelensky, #StopTheWar, #BritishBorders, #IllegalMigrants, #DroneStrike, #ConscriptionUK, #Putin, #StarmerResign, #LabourParty, #GlobalConflict, #Falklands Keir Starmer, No War, Russia UK, Starmer Vs Putin, Jon Gaunt, Churchill, Thatcher, UK Politics, Ukraine War, Zelensky, Stop The War, British Borders, Illegal Migrants, Drone Strike, Conscription UK, Putin, Starmer Resign, Labour Party, Global Conflict, Falklands
It's been called the most influential protest you've never heard about. In April and May 1971, week-long protests rippled across Washington, DC. Thousands in the streets. Their slogan: “If the government won't stop the war, we'll stop the government.” The Nixon administration cracked down, arresting 7,000 people in just one day, and 12,000 people over the first week of May—the largest mass arrest in the history of the United States.This is episode 27 of Stories of Resistance — a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.

In this video or recording, AI Philosopher Prince Israel Zaar starts by stating the negative connotations attributed to the word "Peace." He encourages parties in conflict to seek "Fair Peace" by giving tons of reasons while Peace is necessary. It describes and paints a devastating picture of the negative consequences of Wars and the effect on children, women, population, infrastructure, institutions, history, traditions, cultures, economy, the system of government, and the impact war has on the humane conscience or consciousness of humanity. He ends by encouraging every human being to be part of the “Peace Process” that ends war or brings stability and “Sustainable Peace.” Prince Zaar motivates humans to praise and reward the bravery of those who end wars rather than the callousness of those who start them. The recording emphasizes that it's never too late to give peace a fair chance. It's signatured February 28, 2025, by Prince Israel Zaar from the City of Las Vegas, USA.
Russia is willing to talk about ending the war with Ukraine. Will it happen?
Trump wants to stop Russia's war against Ukraine, but what difficulties will he face? Why must he genuinely engage with Ukraine and the EU to achieve this goal?

Wesslau is currently a Senior Advisor at Rasmussen Global and a Distinguished Policy Fellow at the Stockholm Centre for Eastern European Studies (SCEEUS).

In November 2023, South Africa approached the International Court of Justice, to consider whether Israel is committing acts of genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza. It also called for an immediate ceasefire. And on Friday, the 26th of January, the UN's top court made its interim ruling. It said, among other things, that Israel must do everything in its power to prevent genocidal acts in Gaza. But the court did stop short of ordering an immediate halt to military operations. So, what's next? Will this ruling change anything in relation to the war in the Middle East? Africa Daily's Mpho Lakaje talks to Palestinian ambassador to South Africa, Hanan Jarrar, and Benji Shulman of the South African Zionist Federation. He also sits down with Dr. Hlengiwe Ndlovu from the Wits School of Governance in Johannesburg, to unpack the recent developments.

On the 7th of October 2023, Palestinian Islamist group Hamas and other factions, launched a surprise attack on Israel. It led to the deaths of about 1,200 people, including foreign nationals, according to the Israeli government. More than 200 others were taken to Gaza as hostages, over a hundred have since been released. Israel retaliated with a series of air and artillery strikes in Gaza. The Hamas-led Health Ministry says more than 22,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed to date. South Africa subsequently filed a case against Israel at the United Nations' top court alleging that Israel's military campaign in Gaza amounts to an act of genocide. But Israel has dismissed this accusation, promising to fight back. The hearing officially kicks off at the Hague in the Netherlands today.Africa Daily's Alan Kasujja has been looking at the significance of this court case.

Remy explains the proposal—to limit the foods that people can buy with SNAP, including no white grains, no fresh meats, and no sliced cheese. Remy and Emily have some thoughts, starting with, is this ethical? This leads into a convo about Gwyneth Paltrow's 2015 food stamp challenge (tbt), before they read a Dear DST about how to cope when someone is making comments about their eating. In this case it's the Dear DSTer's boss, and Remy and Emily share some tips. Then they answer the most important question of the day—what was their last best meal? And share their delicious Last Licks. Check out our latest promo codes here: https://betches.com/promos Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
