Edition No222 | 14-08-2025 - Putin and Trump seem intent on carving up Europe into an area for manipulation, appropriation and exploitation. This isn't diplomacy, it's geopolitical vandalism. There is an imperial and chauvinist style of geopolitics that treats the world like a Monopoly board: you move pieces, trade squares, bankrupt opponents. Everything is transactional, and everyone can be bought. Peace and justice don't play a role, unless they contribute to deals and relationships that keep the old hamster wheel turning. It's often referred to as the realistic school of geopolitics too, but the mechanistic theories that drive its logic bear little resemblance to what Putin wants, and how Russia is behaving. His game is closer to the military strategy game Risk. The challenge is that Trump is negotiating from this supremely transactional point of view, over layed by a veneer of so-called realist thought among his advisers and analysts. But Putin is playing a different game, and one on a larger board – in terms of scale and depth of time – namely the survival of his regime, and the impact of his person on history. He wants no less than to enter the annals of Russian political folklore as a great Tsar – among the ranks of Peter and Catherine, unifiers of imagined Russian lands and oppressors of the native populations of those places. Rulers that shaped Russia's militaristic civilisation and the contours of empire. Coming into the Alaska summit, Trump is playing Monopoly, while Putin is playing Risk. ----------DESCRIPTION: Alaska Peace Summit: Dangerous Proposals for Ukraine?In this episode of Silicon Bites, we delve into the controversial proposals ahead of the Alaska Peace Summit, which could model the occupied territories in Ukraine on Palestine—a move heavily criticized for legitimizing Russian aggression. Host highlights the transactional approach of Trump's administration and Putin's broader, historical ambitions, examining why such peace deals may perpetuate violence and instability. We review leaked proposals, their implications for Ukrainian sovereignty, and the moral imperatives at stake. Lastly, we analyze the attendees, the symbolic significance of Alaska, and the geopolitical stakes for Europe and Ukraine's future.----------CHAPTERS: 00:00 Introduction and Channel Support00:43 Geopolitical Games: Putin vs. Trump02:36 The Alaska Summit: A Dangerous Proposal03:57 The Palestine Model for Ukraine: A Terrible Idea06:37 Economic Bribes and Ideological Goals11:31 The Reality of Russian Occupation14:43 The Stakes of the Alaska Summit16:25 Non-Negotiables for Peace----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------SOURCES: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/08/12/the-daily-t-trump-and-putin-carve-up-europe/https://kyivindependent.com/russia-announces-delegation-schedule-for-putin-trump-alaska-meeting/https://www.ft.com/content/5031b199-344c-4fb0-8ce8-6f62165a0aa8https://kyivindependent.com/ukraine-war-latest-112/https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/trump-offers-hope-security-guarantees-ukraine-braces-putin-meet-2025-08-14/https://kyivindependent.com/zelensky-to-reportedly-meet-starmer-in-uk-after-call-with-trump/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025/08/13/trump-to-present-minerals-deal-to-putin-in-alaska/https://kyivindependent.com/ukraine-suffered-most-civilian-casualties-in-july-since-2022/https://kyivindependent.com/drone-attack-sparks-blaze-at-oil-refinery-in-russias-volgograd-russian-official-says/https://kyivindependent.com/us-will-support-ukraine-security-guarantees-but-no-nato-membership-macron-says/https://www.thetimes.com/us/american-politics/article/us-russia-deal-west-bank-occupation-ukraine-wfvnt6v6f----------

During the summer break, the 15-Minute History podcast team are republishing some of their favorite episodes. This episode originally aired on February 26, 2024.___Two men stood in a large room shouting at one another, raging over family and war or accusing each other of incompetence and cowardice. A third man stood nearby, servant of one and friend to both. In a corner, a young woman cowered with her face bruised and her body shaking. Anger swirled around the pair as words grew ever-more harsh. And then, the older man swung his scepter, the symbol of God's might wielded through him on earth, and it crashed into the temple of the younger man. Blood poured from the wound as the youth crumpled to the ground. And then, as if a veil had been lifted from his eyes, the Tsar of all Russia's knees gave out. He cradled his victim in his arms and howled to the heavens, "May I be damned! I've killed my son!"Ivan IV's long reign was among the most consequential for the Russian empire. His early reforms seemed to indicate that Russia was on the brink of a new age, only for it to fall into darkness as the tsar descended into paranoia and madness. The world soon gave him a new name as war and repression became ways of life under the man history knows as Ivan the Terrible.Join us as we teach you about Ivan the Terrible, his life, and the terror he caused.

Nestor MAKHNO était un anarchiste ukrainien, qui se battait pour une Ukraine libre à l'époque de Lénine. En fait, il se battait contre tout le monde qui souhaitait contrôler l'Ukraine : Lénine et son armée rouge, Denikine et son armée blanche (qui voulait remettre le Tsar en place), les envahisseurs austro-allemands... Nestor MAKHNO est un anarchiste très important car c'est celui qui s'est battu réellement et qui a réussi à instaurer pendant le plus longtemps "l'idéal" anarchiste. Je reçois Edouard Jourdain, maître de conférences en Sciences Politiques pour en discuter. Edouard a écrit un livre très accessible sur Nestor MAKHNO, d'environ 120 pages, que je ne peux que vous recommander.

Throughout their centuries-long dynasty, the Romanovs oversaw the transformation of Russia from a fragmented medieval state, into a vast empire. Despite their power though, the period of the Romanovs was plagued by violence, assassinations, and the heavy hand of autocratic rule. Then, in 1917, the course of Russian history took an irreversible turn, and the fate of the Romanovs was changed forever.  So what do we know of the lives of the Romanov family? Was it possible for monarchs such as Catherine the Great to balance Enlightenment ideals with absolute power? And did any of the family survive the infamous assassination of 1918?  This is a Short History Of The Romanovs. A Noiser production, written by Nicola Rayner. With thanks to Russell E. Martin, Distinguished Professor of History at Westminster College, Pennsylvania, and author of The Tsar's Happy Occasion: Ritual and Dynasty in the Weddings of Russia's Rulers.

We would love to have you with us!Janiece Johnson and Kerry discuss important and hard lessons that are learned in the early Church as they figured out what were appropriate manifestations of the Spirit, and how Satan imitates revelation. They look at how God revealed to His prophet the things they, and we, need to learn in order to avoid being deceived. They help us see the need for growing in our revelatory relationship with God. They explore how misunderstanding God's revelatory process can lead to us being "overthrown", and how we can grow in the light and thus overcoming darkness rather than being overcome by it. They look at how that which is worldly and fallen lead to deception as well. They focus on how Christ is the one who overcomes, and that if we don't come to Christ and accept His light in His way we will be overcome rather than overcoming through Christ. They also look at how important it is to follow the revelation we receive, and how we need to use it to know what voices to listen to and what to accept from the voices around us.

What abominable mischief and hedonism did the seventeen year old Peter the Great revel in during his strange and remarkable travels through Europe, before truly stepping into the role of Tsar of all the Russias? Did it serve a secret political purpose? What was the outcome of the first war he chose to wage against the Ottoman Empire? Why did he go on a crucial and possibly dangerous diplomatic mission disguised as a member of his own staff? And, when news reached him from Russia, of a mutiny that directly challenged his rule, what gruesome revenge did he wreak…? Join Dominic and Tom as they discuss in lurid technicolour, Peter the Great's early life and rule: his flamboyant “gap year” and foreign travels, his early military conquests, his drastic reforms to Russia, and the outbreak of the Great Northern War, which would see Europe transformed forever.

Why was the early life of Peter the Great - Tsar and autocrat of all the Russias, who endures to this day as an iconic symbol of Russian might - drenched in blood and violence? What amalgamation of court politics and family feuding saw him catapulted to the role of Tsar against all the odds? What did he do during the course of his colourful life and tumultuous reign to earn the moniker ‘the Great'? And, why is he considered by many, the father of Russia?  Join Dominic and Tom as they launch into the early life of one of history's most bombastic rulers - Peter the Great; the conditions in 17th century Russia, the violent palace coup that nearly destroyed him as a boy, and his road to the Great Northern War that would later make his name, and change the fate of Europe.  The Rest Is History Club: Become a member for exclusive bonus content, early access to full series and live show tickets, ad-free listening, our exclusive newsletter, discount book prices on titles mentioned on the pod, and our members' chatroom on Discord.

Pavel Ivanovich Ibis, or Paul Ibis, a 22-year-old Russian naval officer (he was born in today's Estonia) embarked alone on a dangerous and adventurous journey – on foot – through Taiwan in the winter of 1875. At the time, much of the island was under Qing rule; a prefecture of Fujian Province.So, what was he doing here? He left very detailed accounts of places, people and customs, and Paul Ibis seems to have had a genuine “anthropological” interest in this island. But was he also possibly a spy? Or at least gathering data for his superiors in the then-still powerful Russian Empire under Tsar Alexander II? (And, yeah, that was the Tsar who sold Alaska to the US in 1867.) Visit formosafiles.com for more.

Stéphane Bern raconte Alexandre II, resté dans l'Histoire comme “le tsar libérateur” qui a modernisé la Russie – sa paysannerie, son armée ou son enseignement – sans avoir pu apaiser les révoltes dont il a payé le prix fort, en finissant assassiné.… Aujourd'hui, comment la figure d'Alexandre II est-elle perçue en Russie ? Comment a-t-il rendu la Russie plus puissante ? Comment a-t-il créé l'émergence d'un mouvement populiste russe ? Pour en parler, Stéphane Bern reçoit Stéphanie Burgaud, historienne et auteure de “Alexandre II ou l'identité russe” dans l'ouvrage "La Russie des tsars, D'Ivan le Terrible à Vladimir Poutine" dirigé par Emmanuel Hecht (Perrin)

Elle sera la dernière joie d'Alexandre II, le tsar abolitionniste : la belle Katia lui fait tourner la tête, il finira par l'épouser.

They look at the use of Section 20 in the original Pearl of Great Price. They explore the importance of this section in our ability to have the Church function. They also look at the relationship between Section 21 and Section 20. They also talk about God's instructions to keep records in the Church and the impact that has had on us.

In this episode Kerry and Andrew Skinner explore the historical background of the revelation, which gives surprising added meaning to this profound section. They help us see how Martin Harris and his questions about financing the publication of the Book of Mormon draw forth this revelation, and how it is about consecrating, and how Christ uses His own consecration to the Father to help Martin, and by extension all of us, to give ourselves fully to God. They delve into the profound teachings about Christ's sufferings that are a part of Christ's teachings, one of the few places we hear Christ Himself describe the depth of His suffering for us.

He was born in Syria in 1860, in the waning years of the Ottoman Empire. In his childhood, his family took refuge in Lebanon after their parish priest, St Joseph of Damascus (July 10) was martyred; but they later returned to Damascus. In 1879 he was tonsured a monk and entered into the service of Patriarch Hierotheos of Antioch. The Balamand Seminary had been closed since 1840, but the young monk was offered a scholarship at the Constantinople Patriarchate's seminary at Halki. Returning to Syria with a theological degree, St Raphael became assistant to Gerasimos, the new Patriarch of Antioch, traveling and preaching on his behalf. After further studies in Kiev, he transferred to the jurisdiction of the Patriarchate of Moscow and for a time was professer of Arabic studies at the Theological Academy in Kazan. (At that time the downtrodden Orthodox of the Middle East received considerable aid and theological training from the Tsar and from the Church in Russia).   In 1895 he was sent to the United States to shepherd the Arab Orthodox Community in New York, which was without a church or a priest. He quickly consecrated a chapel and with great energy set about the work of shepherding his flock there; but he was concerned not only for them but for the Arab Christian immigrants scattered through North America, most of whom were without a pastor and in danger of falling into heterodoxy or abandoning religious life. He traveled widely throughout the continent, visiting, counseling and serving Arab Christians, preaching, celebrating marriages and baptisms, receiving confessions and celebrating the Divine Liturgy, usually in private houses. In 1898 he published the first Orthodox prayer book in Arabic to appear in the New World. In 1899, he made a seven-month journey through forty-three American cities, seeking out the "scattered sheep" of the Church in America. His services were attended not only by Arabs but by Russians and Greeks, all of whom at that time depended on the Russian mission to North America. During this entire period, he held the official rank of Archimandrite, though his work and duties exceeded those of most bishops.   In 1901, Patriarch Meletios was elected to the see of Antioch, the first Arab to occupy the patriarchal throne for 168 years. Several proposals were made to elect Archimandrite Raphael to a see in Syria; but he refused all such offers, pointing out the Orthodox people's great and little-met needs in North America. In 1904, the Moscow Patriarchate made him Bishop of Brooklyn, the first Orthodox bishop to be consecrated on American soil. He redoubled his already impressive pastoral work, ordaining priests to the many new parishes that he had founded, and assisting Saint Tikhon (then Bishop of North America) in the care of his huge diocese. In 1905 he laid the foundation of the Monastery of St Tikhon in Pennsylvania.   The bishop saw the importance of integrating the faithful into the life of their new homeland, and was an early advocate of the use of English in American Church services. When Isabel Hapgood's Service Book — the first useful English translation of the Church's services — was published in 1906, he advocated its use in all his parishes.   In 1912, St Raphael was found to be suffering from heart disease, but continued his exhausting pastoral work for two more years. In 1915 he was finally unable to continue, and reposed after two months' illness.   When his relics were transported in 1998 from Brooklyn to Antiochian Village in Ligonier, PA, they were found to be incorrupt, and in 2000 he became the most recently glorified Saint of North America.   In North America St Raphael is commemorated on the anniversary of his repose: February 27 on the Civil/New Calendar, February 14 on the Julian Calendar. He is also commemorated with the Synaxis of Saints of North America on the Second Sunday after Pentecost. The Patriarchate of Antioch also commemorates him, but on Saturday before the Synaxis of the Archangels (November 8).

The movement to get money out of politics will take a very long time. I know people don’t want to hear that. My guess is, in the best case scenario, we’re looking at 20 years. Best case. If it makes you feel any better, the movement to get money into politics took 181 years so by that measure, two decades to unravel what took 181 to build isn’t all that bad. Either we’re committed to playing the long game or not. The assholes that got us here were.
