La procura di Milano ha commissariato Foodinho SRL, la società che gestisce Glovo. L'accusa è quella che tutti conoscono da anni: l'algoritmo della piattaforma configura un rapporto di lavoro subordinato mascherato da collaborazione autonoma. Ci sono circa 40 mila rider in condizioni di povertà nonostante lavorino 12 ore al giorno 7 giorni su 7 — con paghe tra 2,50 e 3,70 euro a consegna, per stipendi da 700-1.100 euro lordi al mese. L'azienda fattura 255 milioni.Ne parliamo in questa puntata di TRAPPIST: se queste cose le sappiamo tutti, perché ci vuole un PM per farle emergere come problema? Il commissariamento di Glovo si inserisce nel lavoro della procura di Milano, che sta scoperchiando sistematicamente lo sfruttamento lavorativo in settori che vanno dal food delivery alla moda. Mentre i sindacati sembrano non avere gli strumenti per gestire la crisi e il governo fa finta di niente.In chiusura della puntata parliamo del referendum sulla Giustizia: il fronte del no sembra in rimonta, ma il vero nodo, a quanto pare, sarebbe la partecipazione. Bisogna vedere se chi dice di essere per il Sì, poi effettivamente andrà a votare. Con: Stefano Colombo e Alessandro Massone Sostieni the Submarine e ricevi la newsletter tutte le mattine

EPISODE SUMMARY In this deeply personal episode, Gary shares the full story behind one of the most common questions he receives: Why would a nuclear submarine commander on track for admiral leave it all to sell life insurance? The answer isn't about career change — it's about calling. Gary walks through pivotal life moments: growing up broke, attending the Naval Academy, commanding a submarine, losing half his wealth in the Great Recession, and realizing he had outsourced responsibility for his financial future. That wake-up call forced him to rethink everything — not just investing, but fatherhood, leadership, and legacy. He explains how shifting from market speculation to real estate ownership and liquidity-based financial strategies changed his trajectory. He also shares how mentorship at Paradigm Life introduced him to the power of safe, liquid capital as a foundation for business growth. Ultimately, this episode is about agency — taking control of your household first, then helping others scale their gifts through business ownership, liquidity, and intentional wealth-building. This is not just a career story. It's a mission story.   Links and Resources from this Episode Connect with Gary Pinkerton https://www.paradigmlife.net/  gpinkerton@paradigmlife.net https://garypinkerton.com/  https://clientportal.paradigmlife.net/WealthView360   KEYWORDS Agency Financial independence Liquidity Infinite banking Hierarchy of wealth Real estate investing Business ownership Exit planning Financial responsibility Leadership transition Wealth control Family legacy Liquidity strategy Personal finance awakening Economic resilience EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS 00:00–01:05 - Why Gary left a fast-track Navy career on the path to Admiral 01:05–02:12 - The tension between career prestige and personal calling 02:12–03:22 - Early life struggles and the Naval Academy opportunity 03:22–05:00 - His mother's life insurance payout and financial turning point 05:00–06:29 - The realization: outsourcing your finances is a mistake 06:29–07:45 - Losing half his wealth during the Great Recession 07:45–09:07 - Why market losses matter most when timing collides with life decisions 09:07–10:38 - The danger of blind trust in financial "professionals" 10:38–12:13 - Real estate as control vs. market speculation 12:13–13:45 - Liquidity as staying power during crisis 13:45–15:27 - Infinite Banking and building a tier-one foundation 15:27–17:43 - Why government contracting didn't align with his mission 17:43–19:32 - The turning point conversation with Patrick Donahoe 19:32–21:05 - Helping business owners scale their agency 21:05–23:12 - Wealth as fuel for impact — not status 23:12–End - Business ownership as a megaphone for your God-given talents  

The Marías is a band from Los Angeles, made up of María Zardoya, Josh Conway, Jesse Perlman, and Edward James. They released their first EPs in 2017 and 2018, and their first album in 2021. But then, as you'll hear, there was a period of a lot of uncertainty around the band's future. Eventually, their second album, Submarine, came out in 2024, and it was incredibly successful. Stereogum called it one of the best albums of the year, and the band was nominated for a Grammy for Best New Artist. But all of that almost didn't happen. I talked to María about the making of their hit song “No One Noticed.” The story's beginning, middle, and end all took place during different eras of the band's existence. In the middle section, when maybe they weren't going to even be a band anymore, María enlisted the help of Grammy-nominated producer Gianluca Buccellati. And I spoke to Luca for this episode, as well.For more, visit songexploder.net/the-marias.

Submarine and A Roach — Nigeria's funniest podcast and the #1 comedy podcast in Nigeria — presents “Your Toes are a Mess, You need to see a Pediatrician” hosted by TMT, Mayowa & Koj.A self-care mix-up becomes a doorway into the week: grooming, adulthood, and why your feet and your feelings both need maintenance. From there, the boys sprint through culture and campus—high-school rivalries, university choices, and school counselors who reroute destinies. Film heads get a quick review of One Battle After Another with character talk, plot notes, and what great performances teach us about representation.Pop culture and politics collide as Kanye's latest apology sparks a bigger conversation on mental health, sincerity, platform responsibility, and why celebrity influence warps public discourse. The guys weave through moon-landing skeptics, messy headlines, and “fascists are winning” anxieties, all while keeping it funny, curious, and deeply human.It's culture, film, sports, education, fashion, hair, Kanye, and current events—sharp takes with Submaroach mischief. Press play, book the pedicure, call your doctor, and carry on.

Canada’s submarine competition heats up between Korea and Germany; a U.S. crime investigation involving Savannah Guthrie’s mother takes place after she goes missing, and evacuations in Kashechewan after a parasite is found; and NASA prepares for a possible Sunday launch as the Artemis crew, including Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen, completes key rehearsals.

Nei giorni scorsi il governo ha finalmente confermato — dopo una serie di smentite al limite dell'imbarazzante — che agenti dell'ICE saranno presenti alle Olimpiadi di Milano-Cortina. L'ICE è l'agenzia preposta alla repressione delle migrazioni, che negli Stati Uniti ha piú di una volta ucciso civili in strada, con 3 morti in meno di un mese. Dopo le dichiarazioni sommesse dei giorni scorsi, giovedì Antonio Tajani ha rassicurato: "Non stanno arrivando le SS."Ma, mentre la preoccupazione per la violenza senza controllo degli agenti federali statunitensi era ancora tema al centro del dibattito italiano, in realtà le forze di governo guardavano a quel confronto piú violento e di repressione come a un modello. Sabato, a Torino, la protesta per Askatasuna è finita con veri e propri scontri tra manifestanti e Fdo. La risposta del governo? Crosetto ha definito i manifestanti "nemici, terroristi, guerriglieri" da trattare "senza sconti." Tajani ha rilanciato: "Ecco perché servono le nuove norme sulla sicurezza." Piantedosi ha annunciato nuove misure repressive. Salvini ha detto che "per questa gentaglia il carcere non basta." Senza chiarire cosa si potesse fargli di peggio: pestarli? Ucciderli direttamente?La pressione per ulteriore repressione arriva in un momento in cui le infiltrazioni d'estrema destra sono ormai continue: giovedì l'opposizione è riuscita a impedire solo in extremis una conferenza stampa alla Camera che avrebbe visto esponenti dell'estrema destra, e direttamente del movimento skinhead, per parlare di “remigrazione.” con: Arianna Bettin, Stefano Colombo, e Alessandro Massone Sostieni the Submarine e ricevi la newsletter tutte le mattine ✨

BILL WHITSITT TRT: 16:20 USS MONTANA NUCLEAR SUBMARINE ON ACTIVE DUTY/NEW LICENSE PLATES

Paul Byrne hears a mum's call for for fair playgrounds, talks to the Corkman with a submarine, chats with Brendan Canty & Jamie The King Forde as we hope for their film "Christy" to get an award. And more... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

January 28, 2026 - Join us for a virtual program examining the geopolitical impact of South Korea's development of nuclear submarines. When Republic of Korea (ROK) President Lee Jae Myung hosted US President Donald Trump for a State Visit in Gyeongju, South Korea in October of last year, the allies committed to developing the maritime and nuclear relationship. A Fact Sheet published after the summit meeting describes that: "The United States has given approval for the ROK to build nuclear-powered attack submarines… [and] will work closely with the ROK to advance requirements for this shipbuilding project, including avenues to source fuel." Rather than focusing on the engineering processes and logistical challenges of shipbuilding cooperation, which you can learn about here, this discussion explores the strategic and geopolitical consequences of South Korea's emergent nuclear submarine program. Against a backdrop of North Korea's quickly evolving nuclear arsenal as well as revived interest in diplomatic engagement, this program investigates how nuclear submarines impact South Korea's defensive capabilities and strategic posture, its contribution to and coordination with the US-ROK alliance, its regional role, and the balance of power and relations with North Korea. The discussion features Dr. Sang Hyun Lee, Fellow Emeritus of the Sejong Institute, and Dr. James R. Holmes, J. C. Wylie Chair of Maritime Strategy at the U.S. Naval War College, and Minkyung Jung, Staff Reporter for The Korea Herald, in conversation with policy director Jonathan Corrado. This program is made possible by the generous support of the Korea Foundation and our individual and corporate members.

Submarine and A Roach—Nigeria's funniest podcast and the #1 comedy podcast in Nigeria—presents “Seyi Tinubu's Internet,” hosted by TMT & Koj. The boys kick off with money talk: childhood class realities, why degrees don't guarantee a soft life, and how “education vs. wealth” plays out in real families. Geography nerdery slides in next: is Greenland effectively an extension of Denmark, and which country secretly wins the “most time zones” trick? (Hint: France.) Plus, Koj's trivia plans with Toronto Raptors tickets as the grand prize.Then Bible lore meets modern Lagos: King Solomon's “split-the-baby” dilemma as a lens for frustration. Domestic life gets delicious: plating as a mental-health unlock, chicken love (and chicken slander), and the immortal wisdom that wraps are “an efficient transportation method.” (Salad & Bread) Fashion & Tumblr-core arrive with sunglasses-by-dictators, and the Lagos Millennial fashion crisis: too much “put it on,” not enough “authenticity.” Finally, internet culture proper: the Brooklyn-Peltz Beckham AI-handstand moment; “agenda” accounts reframing wedding clips into propaganda; and a chaotic IShowSpeed Lagos tour ranked by moments—baby hand-off, horseback riding, and speed's speedy legwork lesson. It's wealth gaps, Bible parables, geography hot takes, plated lunches, Tumblr aesthetics, and the algorithm's favorite sons—by the Submaroach boys.

From hand-cranked wooden death traps to steel predators stalking the depths, this episode of the Professor Liberty Podcast dives deep into the deadliest submarines of World War II and the men who dared to serve aboard them. Mr. Palumbo traces the origins of submarine warfare from the American Revolution to the Atlantic and Pacific battlefields, explains why submarines are still called “boats,” and unpacks the brutal reality of life inside a cramped, airless steel tube where one mistake could mean death for everyone aboard. Along the way, we meet legendary vessels like Germany's U-48 and U-99 and America's USS Tang, explore the tactics and commanders that made them so lethal, and confront the human cost behind every ton sunk. It's a story of innovation, strategy, fear, and endurance—where oceans became chessboards, submarines reshaped global warfare, and courage turned even the smallest boat into a legend.

This week on Killers, Cults & Queens, it's time for another Spooky Sleepover — and things get unexpectedly nautical.Nikki and Cheryl settle in for their weekly catch-up, covering everything from grim January weather and vegetarian resolutions (briefly derailed by a certain sausage roll), to live orchestras, IMAX screens, melted chocolate disasters, and the absolute audacity of putting Smarties in popcorn.Cheryl joins us live on location from rehearsals for the Adult Panto tour, sharing tales from life on the road, missing home comforts, and uncovering what may be the greatest mystery of all: why one small town needs so many barber shops. Is it innocent? Is it suspicious? Should Detective Cheryl be on the case? The jury's out.Then it's time for the rabbit holes — and this week they go deep.Cheryl becomes utterly consumed by the secret world of British submarines: how they're built in giant slices, welded with terrifying precision, tested in silence, and engineered to be quieter than the ocean itself… quieter even than shrimp. Equal parts fascinating and existentially horrifying.Meanwhile, Nikki brings us a tale of chaos, celebrity, and seals as we meet Neil the Seal — a teenage elephant seal causing havoc in Tasmania by blocking roads, squashing cones, knocking over bollards, and preventing people from leaving their homes. He's enormous, unruly, going through puberty, and important enough to have his own marine biologist on speed dial. A true diva of the deep.It's submarines, seals, touring tales, and cosy chaos — all wrapped up in one very silly, very comforting Spooky Sleepover.Pop the kettle on, get comfy, and join us.

Submarine and A Roach, Nigeria's funniest podcast and the #1 comedy podcast in Nigeria, presents “2026 Predictions: Nostradamus vs Adeboye,” hosted by Mayowa, TMT, and Koj.Quatrains meet altar calls as the boys translate two very different prophets for 2026. Nostradamus' “thunderbolt” and “blood flowed” are remixed into cancel-culture hazards and pregnancy hopes.Pastor Adeboye's 2026 notes include: “more remarkable than 2025,” stronger winds, more opportunities, less hunger, SMEs blooming, a touch of reverse JAPA, fewer chances of major war, and a hurricane watch; they become a point of contact for hope and survival.From there, it's culture and sport: paying athletes on time (and why “disgrace the shameless” sometimes works), the art of grooming your kids into your football club, and a bold World Cup prophecy that has Declan Rice polishing a Ballon d'Or.Music heads get a Wizkid × Asake temperature check, while politicians get roasted for their palatial interior design choices and Ozempic.Farmers and the Middle Belt get their flowers, Harmattan gets side-eyed, and 2026 car lots are predicted to invent saner payment plans, because everybody deserves a clean whip.Personal prophecies land too: one truly viral guest, at least one live show, crypto finally paying rent, a 15-minute comedy taping, pickleball and squash supremacy, and, Insha'Allah, IG-approved abs. It's predictions, prayers, hot takes, and practical optimism, the Submaroach way.

SummaryIn this conversation, the hosts and Palantir's Head of Defense Mike Gallagher and Head of Shipbuilding and Naval Programs Matt Babin discuss the integration of AI and advanced manufacturing techniques in shipbuilding, particularly focusing on the role of Palantir's ShipOS in transforming shipyard operations. They explore the generational gap in expertise within the industry, the importance of optimizing workforce efficiency, and the collaboration between NAVSEA and the Maritime Industrial Base Program. The discussion also touches on legislative support needed for modern shipbuilding and the challenges faced in submarine maintenance and production.ShowlinksU.S. Navy Partners with Palantir to Modernize Shipbuilding Supply Chain and Accelerate ShipbuildingThe Maritime Industrial Base ProgramHow big is the Columbia SSBN?TakeawaysAI and software can enhance traditional shipbuilding processes.ShipOS integrates various aspects of shipyard operations.Bridging the generational gap is crucial for shipbuilding.Workforce efficiency can be optimized through better planning.Legislative support is needed for consistent funding in shipbuilding.Software tools can help decision-makers understand costs better.The shipbuilding industry must attract younger talent.Chapters00:00: The Future of Shipbuilding and AI Integration03:55: Transforming Shipyard Operations with ShipOS10:31: Bridging Generational Gaps in Shipbuilding Expertise12:00: Optimizing Workforce Efficiency in Shipyards18:24: Advanced Manufacturing Techniques in Shipbuilding20:48: Leveraging Commercial Technology for Naval Advantage25:51: Collaboration Between NAVSEA and the Maritime Industrial Base Program33:42: Legislative Support for Modern Shipbuilding44:32: Addressing Challenges in Submarine Maintenance and Production

ABOUT POLAR WARPOLAR WAR: Submarines, Spies, and the Struggle for Power in a Melting Arctic by Kenneth R. Rosen (January 6, 2026/$29.00 hardcover) offers a blend of travelogue and frontline reporting that reveals how climate change, military ambition, and economic opportunity are transforming the Arctic into the epicenter of a new cold war in which the planet's great powers are struggling for dominance.Russian spies. Nuclear submarines. Sabotaged pipelines. Undersea communications severed in the dark of night. The fastest-warming place on earth-where apartment buildings, hospitals, and homes crumble daily as permafrost melts and villages get washed away by rising seas-the Arctic stands at the crossroads of geopolitical ambition and environmental catastrophe. As climate change thaws the northern latitudes, opening once ice-bound shipping lanes and access to natural resources, the world's military powers are rushing to stake their claims in this increasingly strategic region. We've entered a new cold war-and every day it grows hotter.In POLAR WAR, Rosen takes readers on an extraordinary journey across the changing face of the far north. Through intimate portraits of scientists, soldiers, and Indigenous community leaders representing the interests of twenty-one countries across four continents, he witnesses firsthand how rising temperatures and growing tensions are reshaping life above and below the Arctic Circle. He finds himself on the trail of Navy SEALs training for arctic warfare, embarks on Coast Guard patrols monitoring Russian incursions, participates in close-quarter-combat training aboard foreign icebreakers in the Arctic sea ice, and visits remote research stations where international cooperation is giving way to espionage and the search for long-frozen biological weapons.POLAR WAR concludes with a prescriptive Appendix, "Reigning in the Arctic," in which Rosen elucidates "several definite and immediate steps American lawmakers and the current presidential administration must take to not only advance our national security in the arctic but also preserve the region for generations to come."Drawing on hundreds of interviews and three years of reporting from the frontlines of climate change and great power competition, Rosen's deeply researched and personal accounts capture the diverse landscapes, people, and conflicted interests that define this complex northern region. The result is both an elegy for a vanishing landscape and an urgent warning about how the race for Arctic dominance could spark the next global conflict.ABOUT KENNETH R. ROSENKenneth R.

Guest: General Blaine Holt. The U.S. seized a Russian-flagged vessel, the "Bella 1," in the Atlantic, prompting a Russian submarine to track the operation. This Cold War-style confrontation highlights the risks of miscalculation as Washington enforces an energy quarantine against Venezuela, targeting shadow fleet vessels involved in illicit activities.

Tara breaks down what the media refuses to connect: sanctions ignored, illegal oil flowing through Venezuela, terror regimes getting rich, and massive domestic fraud keeping the whole system afloat. While headlines scream “Trump is unhinged,” the reality is far more methodical. Court-ordered sanctions are finally being enforced, a Russian “ghost fleet” is being challenged, and the same money funding illegal oil is also propping up riots, fraud, and a broken immigration system at home. This episode pulls the curtain back on the oil, the money, the submarines—and the panic behind the noise.

Tara unpacks a geopolitical story the mainstream media refuses to explain clearly. Sanctions against Iran, Russia, and their allies were supposed to choke off terror funding—but instead, loopholes, ignored enforcement, and political corruption turned Venezuela into an illegal oil way station for America's enemies. Now, with a Russian tanker, a shadowing submarine, and court-backed enforcement finally underway, the stakes couldn't be higher. This isn't chaos. It's strategy. And it may reshape global energy and power for decades.

Happy New Year's everyone!New Year is the time of year when we build unrealistic expectations about what the huge celebration we should be part of, and what big changes we are going to make in the form of our resolutions. It is a lot to live up to, and can create a lot of pressure. All of which is why I don't like New Year's. To be honest, I feel like our run of holidays go steadily downhill starting with Labor Day and ending with New Year's Day in terms of the pressure that they create. We can get fixated on the types of experiences we should be having, and measuring what happens to often unrealistic expectations. The good news is that the only way to go is up! However your holidays went, I hope things are looking up for you.Experiencing a lot of pressure, going down, and going back up are all great themes for this week's guest on Experience by Design. I first learned of Henry Rausch when I found his book “Submerged: Life on a Fast Attack Submarine in the Last Days of the Cold War.” For long-time listeners, you will be familiar with my fascination with US naval history as well as the working environments of submarines. His book is a great first-person account of being deployed on a submarine, including the “ups and downs” associated with submarine life. “Submerged” is currently the #1 Best Seller on Amazon in the Biographies of the Military Navy, as well as a winner of other book awards, including First Place in Published Nonfiction at WriterCon 2025. Hank's second book is “How to Hotwire an Airplane: A Novel of Regret and Redemption,” and weaves together his father's experience being a medic in the Vietnam War along with his own experiences being a pilot. The book places this in the context of US border policy its impact on those who cross the border seeking a better life. Taken together, Hank's work explores personal transformation under stressful and sometimes dire circumstances. We discuss his experiences in the US Navy, and what he learned about leadership as a naval officer. He describes the months submerged while on patrol, along with the good times of being back in port. He talks about his subsequent work as an IT consultant working in satellite operation centers, and how lessons from his submarine tours informed his management style in civilian life. Finally we talk about the lessons that learning to fly has on life. As Hank describes, when you are teaching someone to fly, you have to let them fail up to the point that they might die. He emphasizes the need to enforce high standards, and how performance and recognition will predict how much satisfaction is felt in their work. He also teases the new book that he is working on, so we get a sneak preview of that as well. Henry Rausch: https://henryrausch.com/“Submerged: Life on a Fast Attack Submarine in the Last Days of the Cold War”: https://www.amazon.com/Submerged-Life-Fast-Attack-Submarine-ebook/dp/B0DN8CFV3S“How to Hotwire an Airplane: A Novel of Regret and Redemption”: https://www.amazon.com/How-Hotwire-Airplane-Henry-Rausch-ebook/dp/B0DHV4VVHX

This week, Korea Risk Group Executive Director Jeongmin Kim kicks off the podcast by discussing North Korea's upcoming plans for New Year's Day, including the possibility of a special message from leader Kim Jong Un. NK News' Kim discusses how the DPRK leader has retreated from the tradition of delivering a dedicated New Year's Day speech over the years, instead opting to publish personal letters to the people in the party daily or lay out his annual priorities in remarks at end-of-year party plenums. The discussion also covers North Korea's unveiling of a purported 8,700-ton nuclear-powered submarine, which state media described on Christmas Day as a necessary deterrent against a nuclear submarine that the South plans to build. About the podcast: The North Korea News Podcast is a weekly podcast hosted by Jacco Zwetsloot exclusively for NK News, covering all things DPRK — from news to extended interviews with leading experts and analysts in the field, along with insights from our very own journalists.

Submarine and A Roach—Nigeria's funniest podcast and the #1 comedy podcast in Nigeria—is back. This week, TMT & Koj dig into a truth every Millennial in the diaspora eventually learns: no matter how far you travel, you can't outrun the Naij inside of you.The Millennial Reality Check: The boys open with the “Millennial Dream” and the corporate bias that still favors the married-with-kids crowd. From ballot boxes to boardrooms, they land on a thesis: the world isn't as progressive as it pretends—everywhere has a conservative spine, just like Naij.Wedding Warfare & “The Bottle Guy”: What does it take to survive a 700-person Nigerian wedding as a sober person? TMT breaks down his promotion to “The Bottle Guy”—part event planner, part logistics wizard, part miracle worker—and the pressure of delivering a brother-of-the-bride toast to a sea of aunties and expectations.Why Shelter Is… Sexy: Domestic life gets spicy as Koj chronicles furniture hunts and couch lust. They argue for lived-in homes over sterile showrooms—ditch the museum vibes, keep the joy, make your house feel like yours.The Anti-Hustle Manifesto: A liberating reminder for the burnt-out millennial: not everything needs a side hustle.

Adults are allowed to learn for the sake of being human.Culture, weddings, furniture thirst, and soft rebellion—proof that Nigeria isn't just a place; it's a pattern you'll keep recognizing everywhere.

Imagine this: a high-tech submarine was sent under the thick Antarctic ice to explore the mysterious world beneath. While cruising through the freezing waters, it stumbled upon some strange, unidentified objects that had scientists scratching their heads. Before anyone could figure out what these oddities were, the submarine suddenly went completely off the grid—vanished without a trace! No signals, no wreckage, and no clues about what happened. Some believe it might have been crushed by the ice, while others think the mysterious objects might have been more than they appeared. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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.

 Nuclear Ambitions in South Korea: Colleague Henry Sokolski reports that South Korea is requesting nuclear-powered submarines and enrichment rights, raising concerns about potential nuclear proliferation, with some arguing this could lead to a confederation with the North or US withdrawal, while others prefer Seoul invest in American nuclear facilities to strengthen the alliance. 1953

PLA Anti-Submarine Warfare Grows, But Taiwan Conflict Will Immediately Escalate to Total War for Ryukyu Islands — Rick Fisher — Fisher notes that the PLA Navy has invested heavily in advanced anti-submarine warfare (ASW) capabilities. However, Japan maintains a meaningful deterrent margin through its new lithium-battery powered submarines. Fisher warns that China cannot impose an effective blockade of Taiwan without invading and occupying the Sakushima Islands (part of the Ryukyu chain), guaranteeing that any conflict over Taiwan's status will immediately transition into total, wider warfare involving Japan and the United States. 1937 ESTONIA

SHOW 11-12-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR 1930 THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT CHINA'S LEADERSHIP. FIRST HOUR 9-915 Allied AI Competition and Submarine Requests. Scott Harold examines the crucial role of allies Japan and South Korea in the AI competition against China. Japan is developing locally tailored AI models built on US technology for use in Southeast Asia. South Korea aims to become the third-largest AI power, offering reliable models to counter China's untrustworthy technology. Harold also discusses South Korea's surprising request for nuclear-powered, conventionally armed submarines to track Chinese and North Korean vessels, signaling a greater public willingness to contribute to China deterrence. 915-930 Rare Earths Monopoly and US Strategy. General Blaine Holt discusses China's challenge to the US and its allies regarding rare earths, noting that China previously threatened to cut off supply. The US is securing deals with partners like Australia and is on track to replace China entirely, despite initial processing reliance on Chinese predatory practices. Holt suggests a two-year recovery is conservative, as technology for domestic processing exists. He also notes China's leadership is in turmoil, trying to buy time through trade deals. 930-945 Russian Economic Stagnation and War Finance. Michael Bernstam confirms that the Russian economy is stagnating, expecting no growth for years due to exhausted resources and reliance on military production. Oil and gas revenues are down significantly due to Western sanctions and high discounts, widening the budget deficit. Russia is increasing taxes, including the VAT, which drives inflation in staples. This economic pain damages the popularity of the war by hurting the low-income population—the primary source of military recruitment. 945-1000 Buckley, Fusionism, and Conservative Integrity. Peter Berkowitz explores William F. Buckley's consolidation of the conservative movement through "fusionism"—blending limited government and social conservatism. Buckley purged the movement of anti-Semites based on core principles. Berkowitz uses this historical context to analyze the controversy surrounding Tucker Carlson giving a platform to Nick Fuentes, who openly celebrates Stalin and Hitler. This incident caused division after the Heritage Foundation's president, Kevin Roberts, defended Carlson, prompting Roberts to issue an apology. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Commodity Markets and UK Political Instability. Simon Constable analyzes rare earth markets, noting China's dominance is achieved through undercutting prices and buying out competitors. Prices for key industrial commodities like copper and aluminum are up, indicating high demand. Constable also discusses UK political instability, noting that Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer lacks natural leadership and confidence. The major political driver for a potential leadership change is the party's broken promise regarding income taxes, which severely undermines public trust before the next election, 1015-1030 Commodity Markets and UK Political Instability.

Carola Binder discusses the Austrian School of Economics, highlighting its focus on free markets and Ludwig von Mises's opposition to government "interventionism," including rent and price controls. Mises argued these policies distort markets, leading to shortages and inefficiency. Binder emphasizes Mises's belief that economic literacy is a primary civic duty necessary for citizens to reject socialism and interventionist panaceas, especially as new generations are exposed to such ideas. 1045-1100 Austrian Economics, Von Mises, and the Fight Against Interventionism.

THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Philippine Missile Deployment to Deter China. Captain Jim Fanell reports that the Philippines unveiled its first operational BrahMos anti-ship cruise missile battery in western Luzon to deter Chinese aggression. This supersonic missile system, part of the $7.2 billion Reorizon 3 modernization program, gives the Philippines "skin in the game" near disputed waters like Scarborough Shoal. The deployment signifies a strategy to turn the Philippines into a "porcupine," focusing defense on the West Philippine Sea. The systems are road-mobile, making them difficult to target. 1115-1130 AI, Cyber Attacks, and Nuclear Deterrence. Peter Huessy discusses the challenges to nuclear deterrence posed by AI and cyber intrusions. General Flynn highlighted that attacks on satellites, the backbone of deterrence, could prevent the US from confirming where a launch originated. Huessy emphasizes the need to improve deterrence, noting that the US likely requires presidential authorization for retaliation, unlike potential Russian "dead hand" systems. The biggest risk is misinformation delivered by cyber attacks, although the US maintains stringent protocols and would never launch based solely on a computer warning. 1130-1145 Sudan Civil War, Global Proxies, and Nigerian Violence. Caleb Weiss and Bill Roggio analyze the civil war in Sudan between the SAF and the RSF, noting both factions commit atrocities, including massacres after the capture of El Fasher. The conflict is fueled by opposing global coalitions: the UAE and Russia support the RSF, while Iran, Egypt, and Turkey back the SAF. The Islamic State has called for foreign jihadis to mobilize. Weiss also addresses the complicated violence in Nigeria, differentiating jihadist attacks on Christians from communal farmer-herder conflict. 1145-1200 Sudan Civil War, Global Proxies, and Nigerian Violence.

Weiss also addresses the complicated violence in Nigeria, differentiating jihadist attacks on Christians from communal farmer-herder conflict. FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Corruption, Chinese Influence, and Protests in Serbia. Ivana Stradner discusses protests in Serbia demanding accountability one year after a canopy collapse killed 16 people, with investigations linking the accident to high-level corruption involving a Chinese company. Leader Vučić suppresses discontent by alleging the West is plotting a "color revolution." Although Vučić aligns his heart with Russia and China, he needs EU money for political survival, prompting him to offer weapons to the West and claim Serbia is on the EU path. 1215-1230 The Muslim Brotherhood and Its Global Network. Cliff May discusses the Muslim Brotherhood (MB), the progenitor of Hamas, founded in 1928 after the Ottoman Caliphate's abolition. The MB's goal is to establish a new Islamic empire. Qatar is highly supportive, hosting Hamas leaders, while the UAE and Saudi Arabia have banned the MB. Turkish President Erdoğan is considered MB-adjacent and sympathetic, supporting Hamas and potentially viewing himself as a future Caliph, despite Turkey being a NATO member. 1230-1245 Commercial Space Records and Political Impacts on NASA. Bob Zimmerman covers new records in commercial space: SpaceX achieved 147 launches this year, and one booster tied the Space Shuttle Columbia for 28 reuses. China also set a record with 70 launches but had a failure. Commercial space faced temporary impacts, such as an FAA launch curfew due to a government shutdown and air traffic controller shortages. Zimmerman speculates that Jared Isaacman's conservative-leaning public appearance at Turning Point USA might have convinced Trump to renominate him for NASA Administrator. 1245-100 AM Commercial Space Records and Political Impacts on NASA.
