Dasha sits down with Finnish President Alexander Stubb in Helsinki for a wide-ranging conversation on NATO, Russia's war in Ukraine, Iran and the future of America's relationships with allies around the world.  Stubb, who has developed an unusually close personal relationship with Donald Trump, discusses how he approaches the president behind closed doors, why he believes Ukraine has the upper hand in the war against Russia and how he remains confident in NATO's future.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for June 18, 2026 is: acquiesce • ak-wee-ESS • verb To acquiesce to something is to accept it, agree with it, or allow it to happen by staying silent or by not arguing. Acquiesce is somewhat formal, and is often used with in or to. // Eventually, the professor acquiesced to the students' request to have the seminar's final class be a potluck lunch. See the entry > Examples: “It may be just the right time for a chicken burger to become a significant stop on the American burger's continual evolution—but whether beef-clinging purists will acquiesce to a poultry spin, or cry fowl, remains to be seen.” — Talib Visram, Slate, 6 Apr. 2026 Did you know? If you're looking to give your speech a gentle, formal flair, don't give acquiesce the silent treatment. Essentially meaning “to comply quietly,” acquiesce has as its ultimate source the Latin verb quiēscere, “to be quiet.” (Quiet itself is also a close relation.) Quiēscere can also mean “to repose,” “to fall asleep,” or “to rest,” and when acquiesce arrived in English via French in the early 1600s, it did so with two senses: the familiar “to agree or comply” and the now-obsolete “to rest satisfied.” Herman Melville employed the former in Moby-Dick, when Ahab orders the “confounded” crew to change the Pequod's course after a storm damages the compasses: “Meanwhile, whatever were his own secret thoughts, Starbuck said nothing, but quietly he issued all requisite orders; while Stubb and Flask—who in some small degree seemed then to be sharing his feelings—likewise unmurmuringly acquiesced.”

Die EU zwischen dem Wunsch nach Verhandlungen und dem Wunsch nach Krieg mit RusslandIn der EU gab es letzte Woche widersprüchliche Aussagen zum Ukraine-Krieg. Einige in der EU sprechen inzwischen von Verhandlungen mit Russland, während andere weiter für den Krieg gegen Russland trommeln. Was will die EU wirklich?Ein Kommentar von Thomas Röper.Weil das russische Fernsehen in den letzten Wochen keine Transkripte seiner Beiträge aus seinem wöchentlichen Nachrichtenrückblick veröffentlicht hat, konnte ich diese Beiträge nicht mehr übersetzen und am Montagmorgen hier veröffentlichen. Heute ist eine Ausnahme, denn ich konnte den Bericht des Deutschland-Korrespondenten übersetzen, den ich in der Sendung immer als den interessantesten Bericht empfand, weil er zeigt, wie man von außerhalb der deutschen Medienblase auf den Politzirkus in Deutschland und der EU blickt.Beginn der Übersetzung:„Oh, sorry“, sagte Selensky zu Stubb, als der finnische Präsident herauszufinden versuchte, warum ukrainische Drohnen in seinem Land abgestürzt sind. Stubb formulierte das in einem Interview so:„Ich fragte: ‚Wladimir, was passiert hier?‘ Und er sagte: ‚Oh, sorry, das wollten wir. Wissen Sie, das war ein Fehler, und das war unsere Drohne, aber das GPS-System wurde gestört.‘“Mit dieser „Entschuldigung“ schien der Konflikt abgewendet. In Lettland hingegen entwickelte sich eine ähnliche Situation zu einer politischen Krise und einem regelrechten Zirkus. Nach Abstürzen ukrainischer Drohnen auf das Öldepot Rēzekne trat Verteidigungsminister Spruds abrupt zurück. Ministerpräsidentin Silina veröffentlichte umgehend einen Beitrag, in dem sie behauptete, Spruds habe ihr Vertrauen verloren und sie selbst habe ihn entlassen. Da die Ministerpräsidentin und der Verteidigungsminister unterschiedlichen Parteien angehören, waren Spruds' Genossen verärgert und die Koalition zerbrach augenblicklich.Sowas kommt vor: Vor einigen Tagen verkündete Silina, Gott selbst habe sie zur Ministerpräsidentin Lettlands berufen. Aber Gottes Wege sind unergründlich. Sie sagte vor der Presse:„Aktuell haben politische Eifersucht und engstirnige Parteiinteressen über die Verantwortung gesiegt. Daher erkläre ich meinen Rücktritt als Ministerpräsidentin.“Der lettische Präsident Rinkēvičs, der bedeutungslose Staatschef eines unwichtigen Landes, dürfte kaum in der Lage sein, den Zynismus der Situation zu begreifen: Selensky bietet ihm ukrainische Drohnen an, um ukrainische Drohnen abzuschießen.Selensky traf sich mit Präsident Rinkēvičs und schrieb darüber auf X:„Wir rechnen damit, mit Lettland im Rahmen des Drohnenabkommens ein Abkommen zu unterzeichnen, um ein mehrschichtiges Luftverteidigungssystem gegen verschiedene Bedrohungen aufzubauen. Wir werden unsere Experten nach Lettland entsenden, um Erfahrungen auszutauschen und direkte Unterstützung beim Schutz des Luftraums zu leisten.“...https://apolut.net/europas-heuchlerischer-ukraine-kurs-von-thomas-roper/ Hosted on Acast.

CannCon and Ghost open Tuesday's geopolitics-heavy show with Ghost leading the charge. John Brennan goes on MSNBC and openly tells embedded bureaucrats to hold the line, and James Comey follows with the same message minutes later, giving CannCon two dog whistles in one segment to unpack. Netanyahu tells 60 Minutes he wants to zero out the $3.8 billion in annual US military aid within a decade, and CannCon catches that he skipped the 2020 Trump meeting entirely in his timeline of conversations about Iran. Meanwhile, Israeli Finance Minister Smotrich says the war must end with Israel changing its borders to include Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and the West Bank. Ghost breaks down the Knesset dissolution threat and why Netanyahu's only card left is reigniting the Iran war. The UAE is secretly attacking Iran while simultaneously begging Trump for a currency swap, as its banks hemorrhage hundreds of billions. Venezuela's oil is back at 2018 levels, global reserves are draining at a record pace from the Strait of Hormuz blockade, and Alaskan oil leases hit $163 million at auction. Ghost connects Trump's tariff history from McKinley through 1912 to today. Finnish president Stubb is profiled as a Western-groomed globalist, and a French presidential candidate calls for France to leave NATO.

Geopolitieke omwentelingen laten allerlei nieuwe allianties ontstaan. De meest opmerkelijke is wel die van Canada met de Europese Unie. In hoog tempo verdiept, verbreedt en intensiveert die coalitie zich. Buitengewoon symbolisch hierbij was de uitnodiging aan premier Mark Carney om als eregast de Top bij te wonen van de Europese Politieke Gemeenschap in Jerevan, Armenië. Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger duiken in de zwaartepunten, de focus en de opmerkelijke inspiratiebronnen. Van het ontstaan van Canada in de 15e eeuw, cognac-export in het begin van de 20ste eeuw tot Havèl in 1978 en de Finse president nu. *** Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

Zend ons een mailtje en wij zoeken contact. *** De jonge Jean Monnet was als avontuurlijke cognac-handelaar al gefascineerd door Canada, zijn ondernemende migrantencultuur, innovatieve geest en openheid. Het eerste verdrag van 'zijn' EEG buiten Europa was dan ook met dat land, over hightech samenwerking rond kernenergie. En die avant garde rol werd traditie. In 1976 sloot de EEG een breed kaderakkoord met premier Pierre Trudeau, in 2017 met zijn zoon Justin het CETA-vrijhandelsakkoord met meteen weer zo'n brede opzet erbij, de Strategische Partnerschapovereenkomst. Deze aanpak is het model geworden voor alomvattende akkoorden die de EU wereldwijd sluit, zoals met India, Japan, Australië, Vietnam en Mercosur. Met Canada gaat deze coalitievorming in hoog tempo de diepte in. Bij de ruimtevaart in de ESA, Horizon Europe rond R&D, als enig niet-Europese land in het lange-termijn defensie-investeringen programma SAFE, met Oekraïne en in de JEF-coalitie rond de Pool en Oostzee. En nu als eerste niet-Europees land actief in de door Emmanuel Macron geïnitieerde Europese Politieke Gemeenschap die samenkwam in de Kaukasus, dichtbij een aantal spanningshaarden in de actuele geopolitiek. Mark Carney benut dit nadrukkelijk om met de EU samen afstand te nemen van allereerst Amerika, maar ook van China. Daarmee vult hij zijn geruchtmakende speech in Davos, eerder dit jaar, heel concreet in. Hij riep de ‘middelmachten’ op zich te emanciperen van 'hegemonen' als Poetin, Xi en Trump en realistisch te bezien wat zij met elkaar kunnen waarmaken. Alleen zo kunnen ze hun soevereiniteit bewaren. À la het kabinet-Jetten: “Aan tafel, niet op het menu.” Canada moest als een van de eersten meemaken wat zo'n 'middle power' existentieel kon bedreigen, schetste Carney scherp. Betreuren dat Trump, Poetin en Xi zich zo gedragen noemde hij zinloos. “Nostalgie is geen strategie.” Macron, Friedrich Merz, Mario Draghi en Alexander Stubb bouwen hier nadrukkelijk op voort. In de campagne in ons land klonk de echo ervan door in 'Het kan anders' en 'Het kan wél'. In Canada is inmiddels forse steun voor - zelfs – het lidmaatschap van de EU. Stubb noemt dit idee ‘a marriage made in heaven’. De Europese Commissie houdt het formeel braaf af, maar wijst op mechanismen als 'speciale partnerschapsovereenkomsten' met verwante landen. Ook voor Oekraïne en Moldavië wordt dit verkend en voor Noorwegen is het al een feit. Canada zou als hoogontwikkeld rijk land van 41 miljoen inwoners, met een bbp van 10% van de EU, ongeveer zo groot zijn als Italië en iets groter dan de Benelux of Spanje. Carney wil daarbij met zijn land de brug slaan tussen de EU en het Trans-Pacific Partnership waarin Canada een belangrijke rol speelt. Een hoogontwikkeld, vrijheidsgezind 'handelsblok' van 1,5 miljard mensen zou daarmee tegenover de 'hegemonen' geplaatst worden. En zou zoiets bij Canada zelf passen, gelet op de wortels van dit land? Wie daarin duikt ziet verrassende overeenkomsten. Hun Rudolf Thorbecke was diens tijdgenoot Lord Durham. Van een reeks losse, soevereine provincies werd na 1870 een coherente confederatie opgebouwd, die qua opbouw sterk doet denken aan de EU van nu. Warm bepleiter daarvan was nota bene queen Victoria. Drijfveer was toen al de schrik voor 'tariffs' en de expansiedrift uit Washington. Bewust koos men voor een Europese traditie met multiculturele vrijheden, een constitutionele monarchie en nadruk op betrouwbare, lange termijn relaties als land dat in essentiële, nu ook vaak zeer kritische grondstoffen op zekerheid van afnemers wilde kunnen rekenen. Carney's visioen voor zijn land als partner in de geopolitieke rol van de EU bouwt dus voort op een stevig fundament in historie en cultuur. *** Verder kijken Mark Carney speech in Jerevan Mark Carney speech in Davos Alexander Stubb: Canada in EU 'marriage made in heaven' *** Verder luisteren 578 - Oorlog voeren in een verdeelde wereld: misverstanden en mislukkingen 575 - Nederland staat niet langer op het menu, maar zit aan tafel 571 - Het kabinet-Jetten in een geopolitieke orkaan 567 - De geschiedenis beukt op Europa's deur.

Regeringen och president Stubb har uppdaterat vår utrikespolitiska linje. Arbetet började då USA hotade ta Grönland, och nu betonar redogörelsen att USA blivit oförutsägbart. Vad innebär den förnyade linjen i praktiken? De tidigare utrikesministrarna Erkki Tuomioja (SDP) och Pär Stenbäck (SFP) analyserar under ledning av Bettina Sågbom. E-post: slaget@yle.fi

Anna-Maja har hämtat en historisk Renew Europe-delegation till Finland. Hon har visat över 20 Europaparlamentariker runt - allt från träff med president Stubb, till bombskydd under Helsingfors och besök vid gränsen till Ryssland uppe i Raja-Jooseppi. Anna-Maja berättar om resan och gläds också över att folket i Ungern visade dörren till Orbán. Till slut analyserar hon också läget för SFP inför riksdagsvalet om ett år. Podden modereras av Anna-Majas medarbetare Oscar Byman.

Czy istnieje ktoś, kto mówi po angielsku lepiej niż native speakerzy, mimo że... nie jest native speakerem? Brzmi jak przesada? A jednak. Alexander Stubb właśnie to robi. W tym odcinku "English Biz" wracamy do polityka, którego sposób mówienia po angielsku został okrzyknięty… niemal perfekcyjnym. Aleksander Wielki współczesnego Business English. Analizujemy jego viralowy występ w podcaście The Rest is Politics i zadajemy kluczowe pytania: czy Stubb naprawdę brzmi jak native? Czy popełnia błędy? I najważniejsze: dlaczego brzmi lepiej niż większość osób, które uczą się angielskiego latami? Słówka: So I grew up very much in a bilingual family. I tried my bearings in golf. I tried to find my bearings in golf. I've had three careers because the sports stuff didn't pan out. The sports stuff didn't pan out. So the starting point is different. The pressure is constant. It doesn't hold up. It's not sustainable. My off ramp was the European Investment Bank. The jury is out. It's still unclear. The outcome remains uncertain. Has been spotless. Pitch perfect. This is going too far. This crosses the line. This is unacceptable. We should have woken up. Smelt the coffee. We should have faced reality. We should have recognized the warning signs. The bottom line is that… The key takeaway is… Ultimately… First there is a crisis, then there's chaos, and finally there's a suboptimal solution. Suboptimal solution. Less-than-ideal solution. Compromise solution. So it's a complicated mix. A complex interplay of factors. A multifaceted issue. How do we get there? We get there by starting the conversation. It starts with dialogue. We get there through open discussion. Go the full mile. Go all the way. Escalate fully. Outsized influence. Disproportionate influence. Punch above its weight.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 71: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump is paying Iran to try to kill Americans. $14 billion, he’s giving them. Fourteen billion for oil Iran can now sell, per Trump. What’s that called again? If you’re ‘adhering to our enemies, giving them aid and comfort’? And that fop Scott Bessent defended it yesterday as "jujitsuing" Iran, using its money against it. In fact Trump is using Iran's money against American troops. Trump, who is garbage - who celebrated the death of Robert Mueller just as he celebrated the death of Rob Reiner - who Friday said the Strait of Hormuz would open itself and then Saturday said he would destroy Iran’s power grid unless Iran opened it - who then compared the majority political party of this nation TO Iran - who announced he is sending his ICE terrorists into the airports because ANYBODY can be a TSA agent and apparently he forgot about his mass deportation thing – and who has had some sort of hallucinatory dream in which he decided this was quote “the death of Iran” when Iran is not only winning but most Americans recognize that Iran is winning... Trump has freed up $14,000,000,000 of Iranian oil because that will lower the price of a barrel of oil by like a dollar for like a week. Oh and remember when he made that joke to the Prime Minister of Japan about Pearl Harbor? Turns out President S-Stain didn’t know what HAPPENED… AT… Pearl Harbor. BY THE WAY the Iranians say if Trump does attack their energy infrastructure, that'll black out much of the Gulf, and they'll hit Israel's energy infrastructure, and all the neighboring nations' desalination plants. Good plan, Grampa Garbage. B-Block (36:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Twitter-X user Chris950003 has invented a new "eggcorn." Is Peter Navarro sticking to his prediction that Trump's war would lower energy prices? And the sabotage of CBS is nearly complete: Bari Weiss and the Ellisons have not only destroyed the birthplace of American broadcast journalism (Edward R. Murrow's CBS Radio) but she actually wants to have Stephen A. Smith host the CBS morning show. C-Block (50:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: I am an alum of CBS Radio - at KNX in Los Angeles and for the radio network as a sportscaster and reporter in the '80s - and I bleed for its murder. But my connection is even more personal. The head of its all-news operation in New York personally validated, personally made tangible, my career aspirations. With one note he turned my possibility into a reality. The story of the Lou Adler Letter. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Day 1,488.Today, after another weekend of so-called peace talks over Russia's war in Ukraine, we search for signs of a diplomatic breakthrough (spoiler: there isn't one). We report on a fresh wave of long-range Ukrainian strikes deep inside Russia that forced at least 15 Russian airports to suspend flight operations and also examine the so-called “Gamechanger” plot – allegations of a plan to stage a fake assassination attempt on Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán to boost his chances in next month's election. Later, we catch-up with Michael Bohnert at the RAND Corporation, and ask whether Ukraine's Flamingo cruise missiles and interceptor drones are now setting the pace for aerial warfare and military innovation.Contributors:Francis Dearnley (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @FrancisDearnley on X.Dominic Nicholls (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @DomNicholls on X.With thanks to Michael Bohnert of RAND.NOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.

“The changing date was the war in Ukraine in February 2022, and then probably the new American administration. So we don't know where the world is going to land. We live a little bit in a world of disorder right now.”Matt Chorley speaks to Alexander Stubb, President of Finland about shifting global priorities and allegiances.President Stubb is known for his good relationship with his American counterpart Donald Trump, forged in part over their shared love of golf. But in spite of this he believes it is right that Nato, as a defensive alliance, should stay out of the war in Iran. This, he says, is the US and Israel's conflict.Thank you to the BBC Newsnight team for its help in making this programme.

Suomen valtiojohto on viestinyt kieli keskellä suuta Yhdysvaltain aloittamista sotatoimista Iranissa. Tasavallan presidentti Alexander Stubb on varonut ottamasta suoraan kantaa Yhdysvaltain pommituksiin. Sen sijaan Iranin iskut Stubb on tuominnut oikeudettomina. Miten Iranin sodasta puhutaan Suomen valtiojohdon ja suomalaisten poliitikkojen toimesta? Miksi kansainvälisen oikeuden polkeminen on valtiojohdolle niin hankala asia? Miksi Stubb viestii Trumpista kieli keskellä suuta? Mikä on päivänpolitiikan sana? Suomen kielen dosentti Vesa Heikkinen ja Politiikkaradion toimittaja Tapio Pajunen analysoivat politiikan kielen ajankohtaisuuksia ja valitsevat päivänpolitiikan sanan. Voit ehdottaa päivänpolitiikan sanoja verkkolomakkeella, sähköpostitse, tai Bluesky:ssa ja X:ssä @tapiopajunen ja @tosentti. Puheet päreiksi -ohjelmaa esitetään Politiikkaradiossa perjantaisin.

Wij Europeanen hebben de afgelopen tachtig jaar afgeleerd waar we in de eeuwen daarvoor nog zo intens mee bezig waren. Oorlog voeren. Met de Europese samenwerking namen we afscheid van de geschiedenis. Oorlog was iets van anderen en bij anderen. Als Europeanen slaagden we er in conflicten op te knippen in technische compromissen en zo keer op keer te depolitiseren. Zelfs het gedurige geklaag over die technocratie, de slappe compromissen en 'te weinig democratie' hoorde bij de succesvolle lessen uit die historie. Maar de geschiedenis is terug, zij beukt onstuitbaar op onze deur. Caroline de Gruyter schreef er een boek over: Zondagskinderen. Ze is te gast bij Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger. *** Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken. Word ook vriend van de show! Heb je belangstelling om in onze podcast te adverteren of ons te sponsoren? Zend ons een mailtje en wij zoeken contact. *** Het debat over de regeringsverklaring van Rob Jetten zal ongetwijfeld gaan over dilemma’s in de sociale zekerheid en met de begroting gaan, maar zijn kabinet kon weleens voor grotere geopolitieke uitdagingen en keuzes geplaatst worden dan geen eerdere ministersploeg sinds de val van de Muur. Jetten en zijn team zullen geen 'zondagskinderen’ meer zijn. De Franse denker Raymond Aron zei het al: "Connaître le passé est une manière de s'en liberer", noteert De Gruyter. Wie het verleden kent, kan zich ervan bevrijden. Want de oorlog in Oekraïne is veel meer dan die in Joegoslavië destijds 'onze oorlog'. Dat hier de rol van Rusland als koloniaal imperium een cruciaal verschil vormt, werd eigenlijk pas vier jaar geleden een nieuw besef. De gevolgen voor de Europese Unie zijn ingrijpend, maar zien we dat al scherp genoeg? Keer op keer zien we dat crises ertoe leiden dat de urgentie zo hoog wordt, dat alleen oplossingen op bovennationaal niveau een uitweg vormen. Jean Monnet had dat al door in 1951 bij de oprichting van de Europese Gemeenschap voor Kolen en Staal. Jacques Delors bij de val van de Muur met de Interne Markt. Angela Merkel bij de pandemie en de vluchtelingencrisis en nu staat de EU voor een vergelijkbare uitdaging omdat de Verenigde Staten noch Rusland een betrouwbare partner meer is. De veiligheidsgaranties die wij Oekraïne willen geven, geeft Kyiv de facto ook aan ons, zoals Volodymyr Zelensky fijntjes opmerkte tijdens de veiligheidsconferentie in München. Eigenlijk gaat alles zo op de schop. Ook de Frans-Duitse as. Ineens is niet Frankrijk de militaire, geopolitieke actor, maar treedt Friedrich Merz zo op. Ineens zou de radicaal-rechtse Jordan Bardella zich kunnen ontpoppen als een soort Giorgia Meloni in Parijs. Ineens worden nieuwe organisaties ingericht om de nieuwe uitdagingen het hoofd te bieden: een EU-Veiligheidsraad, een soort Europese Defensiegemeenschap - die in 1954 zo tragisch mislukte - en supranationale vormen van hightech militaire industrie. De Gruyter ziet één land dat hier allang de knop heeft omgezet. Eigenlijk kón Finland nooit anders, wilde het overleven. Of het nu hybride aanvallen, manipulaties via fake news of militaire en politieke intimidatie betreft, de Finnen waren er altijd tegen bewapend. Dat zij meteen de kans grepen toen ze EU-lid en recent ook NAVO-lid konden worden, is voor hen vanzelfsprekend. ‘Se-cu-ri-ty’ zoals een Fin het wat hem betreft allesoverheersende motief formuleerde. Dat juist nu president Alexander Stubb als een heldere, invloedrijke stem op het wereldtoneel klinkt kan dan ook niet verrassen. Hij kan als geen ander uiteenzetten hoezeer Europeanen anders moeten gaan denken over de nieuwe realiteit. Volgens De Gruyter laat de weerklank van Zelensky's moed en van Stubbs betoog zien dat veel Europese burgers al veel verder zijn dan vele nationale leiders durven denken. Dat de Litouwse oud-premier Andrius Kubilius net zo optreedt als Stubb kan evenmin verbazen. Zijn kleine Baltische land heeft nog erger geleden onder Russisch koloniaal imperialisme dan Finland. De Gruyter wijst op iemand die dit aspect al decennia geleden agendeerde: Otto von Habsburg. De kleinzoon van de laatste keizer in Wenen kende als geen ander de wortels van de machtspolitiek van de 18e en 19e eeuw en de rol van Rusland als koloniaal imperium. Kubilius probeert als Eurocommissaris voor defensiesamenwerking die lessen te vertalen naar het Europa van onze tijd. Een Europa dat mentaal en materieel nog maar net is wakker geschud. De Gruyter diepte dit uit met een van diens meest invloedrijke adviseurs achter de schermen, Klaus Welle, een Duitser die ook dicht bij Merz staat. Die wijst erop dat een aantal EU-lidstaten die met Duitsland altijd argwanend stonden tegenover gezamenlijke initiatieven zoals 'eurobonds' nu 180 graden gedraaid zijn. Van de lange tijd nogal eurosceptische Deense premier Mette Frederiksen tot de van nature conservatieve Bundesbank. Alleen het kabinet-Schoof wilde er officieel niets van weten. Ook hier een majeure uitdaging voor Jetten en zijn ploeg. Dilan Yesilgöz (Defensie) en Tom Berendsen (Buitenlandse Zaken) zullen in Europa, in de NAVO en breder geopolitiek minstens zo offensief en doelgericht moeten gaan werken als Jetten en Eelco Heinen (Financiën). De Europese Veiligheidsraad in opbouw, de 'E6' van de grote economieën in Europa en de bouw van een eigen Europese pijler binnen de NAVO zullen veel van hen vergen. Onberekenbare onrust rond de Caraïben in ons koninkrijk niet minder, wellicht. Want pogingen vanuit de MAGA-hoek om de EU te splijten en te vervangen door een losse federatie van Orbánachtige patriottische staten laten één ding zien. Net als het Kremlin is Donald Trumps Amerika bang voor een EU als succesverhaal; als model van effectieve samenwerking. Dat compliment mag ons aan het denken zetten, zegt Caroline de Gruyter. *** Verder lezen Caroline de Gruyter - Zondagskinderen (De Geus, 2026) *** Verder luisteren Hoe verder met Europa? 71 - Caroline de Gruyter: 'Brexit maakt Europa sterker' - De EU als het Habsburgse Rijk van onze tijd https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/43edd541-d5b5-43dd-a574-1399b6ba05bb 378 - Dertig jaar na 'Maastricht' is Europa toe aan een nieuwe sprong voorwaarts https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/329dfa50-7d58-4642-b29f-febc346d5a3f 427 - Europa wordt een grootmacht en daar moeten we het over hebben https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/84273d61-0203-4764-b876-79a25695bed1 447 - Als Trump wint staat Europa er alleen voor https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/eee9ebfb-042b-4753-b70d-a48e915b5beb MAGA en geopolitiek 494 - Trumps aanval op de geschiedenis en de geest van Amerika https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/ec4b170a-05a9-4af3-9010-c0986376dd3a 484 - Hoe Trump chaos veroorzaakt en de Europeanen in elkaars armen drijft https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/c725d191-aa05-46ff-946f-de0d951a94ab Macron en Merz 566 - Emmanuel Macron, de nieuwe Baron von Munchhausen https://omny.fm/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/566-emmanuel-macron-de-nieuwe-baron-von-munchhausen 492 – Macrons Europese atoombom https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/74f5b1d5-4824-482a-a504-704904c8b021 490 – Duitslands grote draai.

Lumea a văzut o Americă mult mai puțin ofensivă la Conferința de Securitate de la München din acest an. Este aceasta și reflectarea unei schimbări de politică? Unul dintre liderii proeminenți ai Europei vede o schimbare de ton, nu de substanță. Când vine vorba despre abordarea Rusiei sau a relației transatlantice, cuvintele unui anumit lider european devin repere importante. Vorbim despre președintele finlandez Alexander Stubb. Țara sa are o experiență de lungă durată în a ține Rusia sub radar – prin descurajare militară și diplomație. Atlantist convins, Alexander Stubb a reușit să clădească o bună relație personală cu dificilul președinte american Donald Trump. Și asta eventual la o partidă de golf, dar fără a-l linguși sau a-și afirma întotdeauna acordul cu liderul de la Casa Albă. În cazul Groenlandei, de exemplu, Stubb s-a situat clar de partea Danemarcei și a Europei. Într-un interviu pentru Politico, în marja Conferinței pentru Securitate de la München, președintele finlandez a atras atenția că politica americană față de Europa nu s-a schimbat fundamental, cu tot discursul mai împăciuitor al secretarului de stat Marco Rubio, în comparație cu cel de anul trecut al vicepreședintelui JD Vance. „Politica externă americană s-a schimbat”, a declarat Alexander Stubb, referindu-se la Strategia de Securitate Națională a SUA, care a rezervat unele dintre cele mai dure remarci aliaților din Europa și la mesajele recente ale unor oficiali de rang înalt. Un mesaj este ideologic, este foarte MAGA... iar al doilea este America pe primul loc.” ”Relația transatlantică nu se încheie” Potrivit lui Alexander Stubb, comentariile lui Rubio despre Statele Unite care mută povara apărării convenționale către Europa, concentrându-se în același timp pe emisfera vestică și Asia, nu sunt foarte diferite de cele ale lui Vance. Totuși, președintele finlandez crede că discursul secretarului de stat american a mai ”redus temperatura în relația transatlantică”, Stubb a menționat că a vorbit cu Rubio aproximativ o jumătate de oră după discurs, adăugând: „Respectăm alegerile suverane ale țărilor”. Potrivit analizei președintelui finlandez, comentariile lui Rubio au arătat o ordine clară a priorităților pentru Washington: „Nr. 1 este emisfera vestică, nr. 2 este Indo-Pacificul și apoi nr. 3 este Europa.” Stubb a susținut că europenii ar trebui să înțeleagă schimbarea americană condusă de Trump. Președintele finlandez - un atlantist de lungă durată - a subliniat, de asemenea, că integrarea militară a Finlandei cu Statele Unite este anterioară aderării la NATO, iar cooperarea bilaterală „este mai bună decât a fost vreodată”. Relația transatlantică nu se încheie, a susținut el, ci evoluează către un echilibru diferit al rolurilor. „Este în interesul Statelor Unite să aibă forțe de apărare foarte puternice în Finlanda, Suedia și Norvegia”, a spus Stubb. „Haideți să continuăm să lucrăm la acest parteneriat transatlantic”, a îndemnat președintele finlandez.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney may have made headlines when he described a “rupture” in global order in a speech at Davos last month. But long before that, policymakers and analysts had already been grappling with this unsettled—and unsettling—era in global politics. And the challenge has of course been especially great for American allies facing a very different Washington.    President Alexander Stubb of Finland has become central both to navigating and to understanding this time of rupture. He has emerged as a leader who is particularly adept at managing the rift in the U.S.-European relationship, and at talking to Donald Trump, whether about Greenland or about golf. Yet even as he's scrambled seemingly every week to avert a transatlantic crisis, Stubb has also gone out of his way to stress the long-term stakes of this moment—as he did in a recent Foreign Affairs essay. He warns that without significant changes, “the multilateral system as it exists will crumble,” and that “the alternatives are much worse: spheres of influence, chaos, and disorder.”   Dan Kurtz-Phelan spoke to Stubb on Tuesday, February 3 about geopolitical challenges from China and Russia to Ukraine and, of course, Greenland; about Trump and the future of alliances; and about what a true breakdown in global order would mean in the years ahead.  You can find sources, transcripts, and more episodes of The Foreign Affairs Interview at https://www.foreignaffairs.com/podcasts/foreign-affairs-interview.

Recorded live at Stubb's in Austin, Texas Take host Jeremy Wallace sits down with Beto O'Rourke for a conversation about why he chose not to run for office this cycle and what he's doing instead. O'Rourke talks about his work with Powered by People, efforts to register and turn out new voters across Texas, and why down-ballot races matter as much as marquee contests. The discussion also touches on Democratic primary dynamics where O'Rourke weighs in on the race between Jasmine Crockett and James Talarico, voter suppression, the stakes of the 2026 midterms, and the unexpected parallels between grassroots politics and punk rock, drawing on O'Rourke's time as a musician.

Suomen tavoite tänä vuonna on rauha, linjasi tasavallan presidentti Alexander Stubb uudenvuodenpuheessaan. Stubbin puhuessa rauhasta vaatii Yhdysvaltain presidentti Donald Trump Grönlantia itselleen. Ovatko Stubbin ajatukset rauhasta eri maailmasta kuin mistä uutiset kertovat? Miksi Trump-kuiskaajana tunnettu Stubb verhoaa Trump-kritiikkinsä epäsuoraksi vihjailuksi? Uskaltaako Stubb mainita arveluttavaa presidenttiä nimeltä? Mistä löytyvät Stubbin Suomen todelliset ystävät? Mikä on päivänpolitiikan sana?

Rok 2025 pokazał jedno: polityka stała się językową grą. Wygrywali ci, którzy potrafili rzucić jedno zdanie — takie, które niesie za sobą obraz, emocję i gotową narrację. W tym odcinku przedstawiamy zwroty, które przebiły się do mainstreamu dzięki politykom. Przykłady? Alexander Stubb i jego “case in point” czy “toolkit”. Trumpowskie “cards”. Niemieckie “Zeitenwende”, “resilience” oraz “industrial backbone”. Dlaczego politycy coraz częściej mówią jak CEO, a “corporate speak” wchodzi na salony dyplomacji? Dlaczego krótkie “soundbites“ żyją w obiegu dłużej niż całe przemówienia? I jak te polityczne frazy możemy świadomie wykorzystywać w Business English?

Etupiiripolitiikka on palannut määrittämään kansainvälisiä suhteita. Ministeri Jaakko Iloniemi katsoo, että Eurooppaa ei poliittisena toimijana oikeastaan ole. Iloniemen mukaan EU on voimapoliittisessa mielessä heikko. Eurooppa näyttäytyy nyt voimattomana ja lepsuna, kun Yhdysvallat ja Venäjä sopivat sen yli Ukrainan kohtalosta. Maailmanpolitiikan arkipäivää tutkailee pitkän linjan diplomatian ammattilaisen Jaakko Iloniemen kanssa muuttuvaa maailmanjärjestystä. Iloniemen mukaan vanha kansainvälisten suhteiden järjestelmä on edelleen olemassa, mutta siinä on säröjä. Säröt saattavat olla vakaviakin. Se tekee tilanteen arvioinnin hankalaksi, 93-vuotias diplomatian veteraani Jaakko Iloniemi arvioi. Jaakko Iloniemen mielestä Suomen asema on suhteellisen vakaa. Nato-ratkaisu ja aiemmat päätökset olla mukana kansainvälisessä järjestelmässä ovat vakauttaneet asemaa. Tasavallan presidentti Alexander Stubbin aktiivinen rooli suhteessa Yhdysvaltain presidenttiin Donald Trumpiin on Iloniemen mielestä merkittävä asia. Stubb ei pyytele anteeksi Suomen pienuutta, muttei myöskään rehvastele maan olemattomalla suuruudella. Ohjelman on toimittanut Sampo Vaarakallio. Äänitarkkailija on Katri Koivula.

Today, Les, Bishop, Marc, and Jess break down Monday's White House meeting between President Trump, President Zelensky, and a lineup of European leaders—including Starmer, Macron, Stubb, Meloni, Mertz, von der Leyen, and Rutte. Coming just days after Trump's Alaska summit with Putin, the gathering underscored both the importance of allied unity and the uncertainty of Trump's approach. Unlike past tense encounters, Trump and Zelensky struck a more cordial tone, though the meeting produced few concrete outcomes.Was this “boring” but expected sit-down a sign of stability—or simply a pause before the next shock? Can Europe truly step up and lead in its own backyard, or will Ukraine once again be left holding the line alone? And as talk of U.S. air support, tougher sanctions, and security guarantees surfaces, is Trump's instinct-driven diplomacy putting more pressure on Putin than it seems—or setting up another disappointment?@NotTVJessJones@LesterMunson@BishopGarrison@WashingtonFlackLike what we're doing here?

Suoraa puhetta johtaa Maria Pettersson. Studiossa keskustelemassa Kaarina Hazard, Juha Itkonen ja Petja Kopperoinen. Kaarina nostaa keskusteluun Euroopan suurten maiden johtajien matkan Yhdysvaltoihin, jossa keskusteltiin presidentti Trumpin kanssa, miten saataisiin rauha Ukrainaan. Mukana matkalla oli myös pikkuisen Suomen presidentti Stubb. Kaarina korostaa että oli aivan fantastista, että meidän presidenttimme oli mukana suuren pöydän keskustelussa. Etukäteisarvioissa puhuttiin Stubbin olevan mukana, koska hän voi toimia jonkinlaisena pehmikkeenä Trumpin ja Zelenskyin välissä, jotta kaikki menisi vaivattomasti. Kaarinan mielestä tällainen myötäilijän tai hovipojan rooli muistuttaa hänen nuoruusvuosiaan, jolloin samalla tavalla oltiin hyvää pataa idän suuntaan. Onko tilanne nyt sama tuonne lännen suuntaan? Kaarina haluaa kuulla raatilaisten mielipiteet presidentti Stubbin roolista neuvotteluissa. Juha Itkonen on lukenut tarkalla silmällä Helsingin Sanomien tuoreen mielipidemittauksen puolueiden kannatuksesta. Siinä oli keskustan kannatus jo 16,3 prosenttia, viisi prosenttia perussuomalaisten edellä ja vain 2,5 prosenttia kokoomuksen takana. Sdp oli ylivoimaisessa johdossa 25,2 prosentin kannatuksella. Juha muistelee, että keskustapuolueen hiipumista pienpuolueeksi on povattu melkein koko hänen aikuisiän ajan. Kuitenkin keskusta on osoittautunut hyvin sitkeäksi. Eduskuntavaaleissa 2015 se oli vielä Suomen suurin puolue ja nappasi pääministeripaikan. Sen jälkeen tulikin sitten niin jyrkkä lasku, että ennustus näytti viimein käyvän toteen. Marinin hallituksen loppuvaiheissa, joulukuussa -22, keskustaa kannatti Ylen gallupissa alle 9 prosenttia suomalaisista. Ei siis todellakaan enää suuri puolue.  Mutta kuinkas sitten kävikään. Tuuli on kääntynyt ja keskusta on selvästi noussut kanveesista ja poliittinen peli seuraavasta hallituksesta on eri asennossa. Yllättääkö tämä teitä? Onko kyseessä normaali hallitus-opposiotio asetelmiin liittyvä kannatusvaihtelu vai onko keskusta jonkinlainen erityistapaus? Edustaako se teille nimensä mukaisesti poliittista keskustaa vai jotain muuta? Petja Kopperoinen haluaa puhua kasvot peittävien huntujen käytöstä. Parisen viikkoa sitten Riikka Purra ja Sanni Grahn-Laasonen nostivat jälleen keskusteluun, pitäisikö kasvot peittävät hunnut kieltää kouluissa. Kun keskustelunavaukset burkan ja niqabin käyttökiellosta nousevat lähes poikkeuksetta poliittisen kartan oikealta, niin näissä on ihan omanlainen klanginsa, eikä hiertävä ongelma välttämättä ole hunnuissa. Petjan mielestä on omituista, että mediassa näkyy eniten ei muslimeita keskustelemassa huntukiellosta. Mitä arvon pöytä on mieltä, korjaisiko huntukielto niitä ongelmia, jotka huntujen käyttöön liitetään? Toisiko huntukielto tasa-arvon tämän maan naisille? Vai mitä tässä haetaan?

SEASON 4 EPISODE 5: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: THE DISASTA IN ALASKA The Disasta in Alaska - starring the cheeseburger-eating surrender monkey. We have, to quote Churchill, suffered a defeat, without a war. Because we forget we don’t MERELY have an evil, deranged president, we have an evil, deranged president who is also a moron. Now, Trump - Putin’s butt boy, his errand carrier - will deliver Putin’s message to Zelensky in Washington. He will be accompanied by EU President von der Leyen, NATO Secretary General Rutte, Presidents Macron of France and Stubb of Finland, Prime Ministers Starmer of the U-K and Meloni of Italy, and Chancellor Merz of Germany. Trump will be accompanied by a large selection of mirrors. I suspect Trump will parrot what he remembers of Putin's message (whatever Trump's staff didn't leave on the printer of the business center at the Hotel Captain Cook in Anchorage) and tell Zelensky that the way to achieve an end to the war in Ukraine is: to lose. The best thing Zelensky and the Europeans could say in response would be to state that they are withdrawing their recognition of the government of the United States of America because it is just too effing stupid. From the Disasta in Alaska to the Occupied territory of Washington, D.C. And don’t forget what Trump today DOUBLING the number of National Guard in DC with new recruits from Ohio, West Virginia, and South Carolina (all of them, far more violent than DC) means: It means he’s read his cratering polls number and declared war on the United States of America. Also: we rejoin the Trumpstein Cover-up Scandal, already in progress. B-Block (30:02) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: International Fop Piers Morgan FINALLY does a journalism - posts a meme of Trump on his way to meet Putin and Trump is wearing kneepads - and then DELETES the first journalism of his life? Pam Bondi proudly admits The Deep State has defeated her fascist DOJ with nothing more than a Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki Sub. And the battle of the most overrated people in their field: neither CNBC's Andrew Ross Sorkin nor House Democratic mis-Leader Hakeem Jeffries repeat Andrew Cuomo's canard that Democratic NYC mayor nominee Zohran Mamdani lives in a rent-CONTROLLED apartment when he, like HALF of all NYC renters (myself included) lives in a rent-STABILIZED apartment. Sorkin repeats this FOUR times, Jeffries doesn't correct him, and Jeffries who is theoretically a congressman from New York STILL refuses to endorse his own party's nominee, chosen by its MEMBERS, for mayor OF New York. Sorkin should be fired and Jeffries should resign. C-Block (43:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Somebody wrote last week that Aaron Sorkin's HBO "Newsroom" version of some of what happened to Countdown on MSNBC was the worst fictionalization of journalism in the English language. I think that's an exaggeration. It wasn't nearly that good.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Son las 11, las 10 en Canarias. Nos queda media horita con la linterna encendida de este lunes. Con Expósito, la última hora en la linterna. Cope, estar informado. Esta noche, Trump ha descolgado el teléfono para llamar a los socios europeos y hablar de las conversaciones con Putin y con Zelensky. En una llamada conjunta ha hablado con la presidenta de la Comisión, Úrsula Von der Leyen, con el francés Macron, el alemán Merz, el finlandés Stubb y la italiana Meloni. Evidentemente falta alguno. Todos han acogido con satisfacción los avances hacia un posible alto el fuego. Detalles, Álvaro ...

Jonathan GrossmanTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Jonathan Grossman. Known in some circles as Johnny Keys; Jon is the keyboard player for the rock band Uncle Lucius. Jon is from Kentucky, and how he became part of this kickass south Texas band is a good story, I get him to tell it to me in this episode. We discuss his growing up in Lexington, and what he was doing after school before the universe aligned and Uncle Lucius rolled into his town. We also chat about other bands that have keyboard players in them, and even some fake movie bands that do. Uncle Lucius took a bit of a break a few years ago, and then through a series of magical events, they were almost forced back together. The television show Yellowstone happened to feature an Uncle Lucius song in the fourth episode of the first season. The song caught fire all over again and made the band look into getting back together to see what they had left in the tank. As it turns out, they had quite a lot. Since then, they have released 3 more albums and just recorded yet another one a few weeks ago live at Gruene Hall. I ask Jon about the royalty implications of having a song blow up on a TV show like that, and he give HUGE props to Austin attorney Gwendolyn Seale! One of their more recent albums is called 'Like It's The Last One Left' and features one of my favorite Uncle Lucius songs (All the Angelenos). Jon is gracious enough to let me play that song, and their massive hit (from Yellowstone) called Keep the Wolve Away. Naturally we talk about the live show at Gruene Hall, why they haven't headlined at world famous Stubb's in Austin, and Uncle Lucius' insane touring schedule. We end the show talking about some of Jon's other work. He releases music under the name 'Sleepy Jon', as well as performing live at Sam's Town Point (south of Austin) EVERY Wednesday that Uncle Lucius is in town. Three members of Uncle Lucius are in this weekly performing band with some of Arlo Guthrie's daughters. The band is called The Guthrie Girls.

Suoraa puhetta johtaa Maria Pettersson. Keskustelijoina ovat Hilkka Olkinuora, Ruben Stiller ja Mika Pantzar. Hilkka Olkinuora muistelee, että Pyöreän pöydän ympärilläkin on toisinaan joku parahtanut "vaalit ovat ihmisen parasta aikaa". Toisaalta tänään alkoi alue- ja kuntavaalien ennakkoäänestys, johon oli vaikea saada ehdokkaita ja ilmeisesti myös äänestäjiäkin. Hilkka kysyy ytimekkäästi, miksi kannattaa äänestää. Ruben Stiller ryydittää puhettaan lyömällä nyrkkiä pöytään ja samalla kertoo innostuneesti, kuinka presidentti Stubb oli seitsemän tuntia Yhdysvaltain presidentti Trumpin seurassa. Suomi puttasi itsensä maailmankartalle! Kotimaahan palattuaan Stubb ilmoitti, että meidän pitää valmistautua avaamaan uudelleen poliittiset suhteet Venäjään ja sieltä on tullut tähän ajatukseen innostunut vastaus. Ruben kysyy, missä geopoliittisessa tilanteessa Suomi on nyt. Mitä mieltä olette golf-diplomatian tuloksesta? Entä kuinka otettuja olette presidenttimme taitavuudesta? Mika Pantzar nurisee hyväntahtoisesti Pyöreän pöydän puheenaiheiden Trump keskeisyydestä, hänestä emme tunnu pääsevän eroon. Mikakin tarttuu aiheeseen, siirtämällä Trumpin ajattelua vähän Suomeen. Trumpilla on slogan "järjen ja totuuden palauttaminen Amerikan historiaan". Mikan kysymys kuuluu, mitä ajattelette jos Suomeen tulisi ääriliikkeen presidentti. Minkälainen tulisi olemaan tällaisen ajan historiankirjoitus? Mitä tehtäisiin uudelle Kansallismuseolle, mitä sinne tuotaisiin ja mitä poistettaisiin? Onko meillä kyky tuottaa uutta historinkirjoitusta ja kuka sitä tuottaa? Kertokaa millaisia ideoita teillä on uudelle ääriliikkeen edustajalle? Kenen patsaita poistetaan ja kenelle niitä pystytetään?

It's a new year and the abacus has been reset. The boys are in the Temple this week as the calendar turns to 2025. There's so much to look forward to this year, but first, we must figure out why Fort Worth keeps getting these black eyes. Stubb's went to a 9-hour funeral and Jerry […] The post Show 609 – Cold Testies appeared first on The Jerry Jonestown Massacre.

Kate Adie presents stories from Israel and Gaza, Guyana, Finland and the USA.International media have been campaigning to gain access to Gaza in the months since the Israeli bombardment began - with only occasional access granted, which is closely supervised by the Israeli military. More often, news organisations have relied on Palestinian journalists already living and working in Gaza, who continue to operate under dangerous conditions. Jeremy Bowen reflects on the difficulties of telling the story of the Israel-Gaza war.After Guyana discovered it had substantial oil reserves almost ten years ago, its economy was quickly transformed and it's now the world's fastest growing economy. But its neighbour, Venezuela, recently contested Guyana's claim to oil-rich Essequibo region, which makes up two-thirds of Guyana's territory, reviving a centuries-old territorial dispute. Michelle Jana Chan went to see how the country had changed.Alexander Stubb was elected as Finland's president in polls last weekend, heralding a more hawkish approach to Russia. Finland acceded to NATO last year, and has a strategic role to play given its long border with its giant neighbour. Emilia Jansson reflects on what sort of President, Mr Stubb will be - and on what the presidential campaign revealed about Finnish attitudes.And in the US, the decor of the Oval Office in the White House is always closely watched when there's a change of President. Donald Trump's military flags were replaced with busts of influential figures from America's past, ranging from Franklin D. Roosevelt to Rosa Parks. Nick Bryant reports on what the contents of the President's bookshelf might reveal.Series Producer: Serena Tarling Editor: Richard Fenton-Smith Production coordinator: Katie Morrison
