Podcasts about Troika

For sixty years Washington and Havana have been having a geopolitical tango fuelled by obsession and ideology. The island nation of Cuba has been a socialist splinter in the finger of the Florida coastline, its regime infecting the region. Now, with the toppling of Nicolás Maduro and Venezuelan oil tightly controlled by the US, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel could be next. To get into the finer details of the US's new found dominance in the Caribbean, Venetia is joined by The Telegraph's foreign reporter, Lily Shanagher.Plus, former national security advisor John Bolton, voices the need for regime change in Venezuela, Iran and Cuba. Coining the phrase ‘Troika of Tyranny' in 2018, Bolton has had Cuba in his sights for many years as a rogue state. So what should happen next in the region? John Bolton lays bare the truth about Trump's decision making and the need for swift action.Producer: Peter ShevlinExecutive Producer: Louisa Wells► Sign up to our most popular newsletter, From the Editor.

This week, Kate Molleson explores the life and music of Sergey Prokofiev – a composer whose imagination shaped some of the most vivid music of the 20th century. From childhood stories in rural Ukraine to bold experiments at the St Petersburg Conservatory, from revolutionary Russia to the bright lights of New York, and finally to his dramatic homecoming, Prokofiev's journey is full of ambition, upheaval and colour. We hear music that tells tales – fairytales, fantasies and fragments of real life – revealing a composer who never stopped dreaming.Troika (from Lieutenant Kijé Suite, Op. 60) Cinderella Suite, Op. 87 The Winter Bonfire, Op. 122: IV–VIII Music for Children, Op. 65: Nos. 1–9 Peter and the Wolf, Op. 67 Four Études, Op. 2 Autumnal Sketch Piano Concerto No. 1 in D flat major, Op. 10 The Ugly Duckling, Op. 18 Cinderella Suite No. 1, Op. 107: IV.

Die minister van internasionale betrekkinge en samewerking, Ronald Lamola, het bevestig Suid-Afrika skakel met verskeie ambassades weens kommer oor Amerika se optrede in die G20. Lamola het in 'n onderhoud met SABC News beklemtoon Suid-Afrika, as 'n stigterslid van G20 en deel van die Troika, vra nie 'n boikot deur ambassades nie. Hy moedig lande aan om Washington DC te betrek en multilateralisme en G20-beginsels te steun:

(Ayelet Lerman - Gaza Support Network) 2) Gli scomparsi della Siria. Nel paese che prova a guardare avanti, centinaia di famiglie stanno ancora cercando i propri cari spariti nel buco nero della dittatura. (Emanuele Valenti) 3) Stati Uniti, sulla guerra in Ucraina Trump non vuole perdere tempo, né con Zelensky né con gli europei. Ma nemmeno tra i repubblicani sono tutti convinti della sua dottrina. (Roberto Festa) 4) Dopo 12 anni, il Portogallo torna in piazza con il primo sciopero generale dai tempi delle Troika. Tre milioni di persone in strada contro una riforma che rende il lavoro più precario. (Goffredo Adinolfi - univ. Lisbona) 5) Il primo social media ban del mondo. In Australia milioni di bambini e ragazzi under 16 non possono più creare un account sui social network. (Stefano Girola) 6) World Music. Dal Portogallo Lina, l'artista di Porto che fa rivivere il fado. (Marcello Lorrai)

The Finest Hour: How the Assassination Attempt Secured Reaganomics and the Rise of the Baker-Deaver Troika.Max Boot discusses how on March 30, 1981, just 69 days into his administration, Ronald Reagan was shot after giving a speech in Washington and came very close to death. Boot describes the event as Reagan's "finest hour," as Reagan behaved heroically, maintaining his composure and humor, famously joking with doctors, "I hope you're all Republicans," and telling Nancy, "Honey, I forgot to duck." The immediate political benefit was a huge boost in popularity and a massive increase in the prospects for his first budget, which included tax and spending cuts (Reaganomics). Reagan's great strength was convincing people to see the world as he wished it to be, persuading himself that dramatically cutting taxes and raising defense spending would eliminate the budget deficit, though this proved incorrect as budget deficits grew. Reagan was a "great leader but a poor manager," requiring highly capable people to manage for him, particularly Jim Baker. Boot considers appointing Jim Baker as White House Chief of Staff Reagan's most important decision, creating the Troika structure with James Baker, Ed Meese, and Mike Deaver. Another significant first-term achievement was Reagan's appointment of Sandra Day O'Connor to the Supreme Court in August 1981, fulfilling a campaign promise to appoint a woman.

      Saul and Jolene went to a game convention over Labor Day weekend.  Their first game there was a RPG called Troika.  Saul had seen this rpg mentioned quite a bit in various posts.  From "Best Ever Indie Game", to "Most Underrated RPG" and many other lists.   Even though Saul had bought the PDF of Troika he had not yet looked at the rules, but had been very interested in what the buzz was about this RPG.         So Saul and Jolene played Troika for the very first time.  It wasn't the "usual" Troika, the GM was using a setting about the world consisting of only a huge bridge.  We had 7 players in the game and though we didn't know anything about the rules this RPG is pretty light so it was very easy to pick up.       After Saul and Jolene discussed this game, they decided to do an  episode of Troika.

This week on the Troika we complete our short, interruption-filled foray into "The Lavender Scare," a time in America where the US government used laws, and moral and nationalistic fear-mongering to preclude a certain group of people from being safe, employed, or legally American.

Carlos Moedas diz que não é um político convencional e que gosta de abordar quem discorda dele primeiro, para saber as opiniões contrárias. Nesta conversa intimista, relata a morte da mãe, da qual tem boas memórias, e também o alcoolismo do pai e de como isso o afetou e afeta ainda hoje em pequenos momentos da sua vida. Pai de família, enaltece o amor que tem pelos filhos mas também as dificuldades que existem por ter uma vida pública, que tem um preço elevado.

Crisis Cycle: Challenges, Evolution, and Future of the Euro (Princeton UP, 2025) John Cochrane Luis Garicano Klaus Masuch PRINCETON UNIVERSITY PRESS, 2025 Launched 26 years ago, the euro was never expected to have an easy life but it wasn't supposed to be this hard. A three-year solvency crisis, a string of bailouts, and a rescue by the European Central Bank (ECB) was followed by threats of deflation, negative interest rates, massive purchases of government debt, a global pandemic, a European land war, and an inflation surge. The euro area emerged from these tests but may not survive the next without reforms during this period of relative calm. In Crisis Cycle, economists John Cochrane, Luis Garicano, and Klaus Masuch call for critical reforms to rebuild the system's incentive structure and stop the ECB's unsought mission creep. "A beautiful ship was constructed," they write. "Out at sea, it ran into severe storms. Its captain and crew patched the holes as best they could. Now though it is time to return to the dry dock and fix the ship properly". John Cochrane is a professor of economics at Stanford University, best-known for his work on asset prices and the fiscal theory of the price level. Luis Garicano is an economics professor at the London School of Economics and former vice-chair of the Renew group in the European Parliament.

Man - it sure is beardy around here.Host segments: awkward invasion tactics; Roger Corman got his paws on this one, too; some people will be charred; death or Sharla?; this is now an Ilya Muromets fancast; always open with the dragon; Bergman does SNL; the magic tablecloth of lost opportunities.
