My guest today, Thordis Gylfadottir, served as Iceland's foreign minister until 2024. We spoke last week at the Aspen Security Forum, where she delivered a forceful case for the necessity of continued military and diplomatic support for Ukraine. However, that view—once broadly shared across Europe and the Atlantic—is no longer as ubiquitous as it once was. In our conversation, I wanted to learn from her exactly how firm support for Ukraine remains across Europe, both in politics and in society. And what, if anything, can be done to shore up that support.  We begin, however, with a discussion of her current work as the Special Envoy for the Council of Europe on the situation of children in Ukraine, where she helps bring home Ukrainian children kidnapped by Russia during its invasion.

More than three years after Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the fighting continues despite President Trump's push for both sides to make peace since his return to the White House. Trump has been more critical lately of Russia's President Putin, who has been launching even bigger aerial assaults. This week, the President announced a new deal to get more weapons from the U.S. to Ukraine, through NATO, paid for by European allies. But the fighting is only part of the story. Earlier this week, FOX News Rundown host Lisa Brady spoke with Steven Moore, founder of the Ukraine Freedom Project, and Anna Shvetsova, the group's chief operating officer, who grew up not far from the Russian border The two discussed why American support means so much to Ukrainians, drone warfare, and why they say Christians are 'under siege' in Russian-controlled regions of the country. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview.

Joe Lindsley is a traveler and a writer, and American who was reporting for Chicago's WGN Radio from Ukraine each and every weekday of Russia's full-scale war. He once was protégé to Fox News founder Roger Ailes, but Lindsley escaped that frenzied world where power mattered more than truth. He came to Lviv for a Ukrainian Catholic University journalism conference on Information Overload, AI, and Responsibility. Then the pandemic shut down world travel, and he stayed to build a better vision for the media industry.----------DESCRIPTION:Navigating U.S. Support for Ukraine: Insights from Joseph Lindsley In this episode, Joseph Lindsley returns to discuss his daily reporting from Ukraine during the war. Highlighting his conservative stance and mission to inject truthful messages into U.S. conservative circles, Lindsley underscores the importance of influencing current power dynamics in support of Ukraine. They cover the experiences of Kyiv's recent calm interrupted by intense Russian attacks, the trauma left behind, and discussions about a potential awakening in Washington. Lindsley addresses being labeled as partisan while advocating for Ukraine, emphasizing the need to appeal to those in power. Key topics include Trump's perceived change in stance towards Ukraine, the importance of understanding MAGA's anti-war sentiment, and strategies to communicate Ukraine's actions and innovations effectively to the American public. The episode also features discussions on Russian propaganda, Ukraine's internal politics, and the significance of timely U.S. military support.----------CHAPTERS: 00:00 Welcome Back Joseph Lindsley 01:10 Current Situation in Kyiv02:01 Conservative Voices and Ukraine03:22 Trump's Influence and MAGA06:22 Ukraine's Innovation and Military Strategy16:10 Media Criticism and Russian Propaganda19:44 Ukraine's Political Strategy25:51 The Importance of American Support28:19 Distrust in Washington and Ukraine's Common Ground28:39 Challenges in Convincing MAGA Supporters29:47 Ukraine's Struggle Against Russian Propaganda31:39 The Forever War Dilemma36:56 Ukraine's Technological Edge and Innovation43:20 The 50-Day Ultimatum for Putin50:03 Strategic Communication and Persuasion----------LINKS:https://www.ukrainianfreedomnews.com/donation/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Lindsleyhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/joseph-lindsley-60087618/https://www.youtube.com/@jplindsleyhttps://twitter.com/JPLindsleyhttps://www.instagram.com/jplindsley/https://www.facebook.com/josephlindsleyhttps://www.ukrainianfreedomnews.com/ ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

Edition No195 | 20-07-2025 - The night skies turn hostile, but this time it's not only over Ukraine, but the capital of the aggressor, Moscow. This episode investigates the impact of three nights of drone raids on Moscow – both the material and psychological effects. There is a phrase is Russian, sow the wind, reap the whirlwind. Now the city of Lenin and Stalin is becoming Dronegrad, an imperial capital under fire. Did Putin think he could inflict aggression, but that Ukraine would not strike back? It seems he thought precisely this. Since early July, Moscow has faced repeated drone incursions. On July 19, Mayor Sobyanin announced that air defences shot down 2 drones, prompting temporary suspensions at Vnukovo and Domodedovo airports (Reuters). Similar closures occurred on July 17 and 18, with disruptions at all four major Moscow airports (tvpworld.com).----------DESCRIPTION:Drone Strikes on Moscow: Disruption and DestructionIn this episode of Silicon Bites, we delve into the third day of drone strikes on Moscow, which have significantly disrupted airports and travel in the city, turning it into a virtual no-fly zone. The strikes have inflicted both material and psychological damage, highlighting the vulnerability of Moscow despite Russia's aggression in Ukraine. We discuss the economic impact, including massive airline losses and delays, and the broader implications for Russian society and its government's perceived strength. We also examine Ukraine's strategic use of drone strikes as a form of guerrilla economics, aimed at inflicting financial and psychological pain on Russia. Despite Western caution, Ukraine is expanding its capabilities and normalizing these strikes, while Russian civilians remain anxious and frustrated. Ultimately, bringing the war to Russian soil alters the dynamics of the conflict, challenging the Kremlin's narrative and strategy.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction and Channel Support00:36 Drone Strikes on Moscow: An Overview01:11 Impact on Moscow's Airports and Economy02:13 Psychological and Symbolic Effects02:43 Ukraine's Strategic Calculations05:02 Western Reactions and Future Prospects06:58 Conclusion and Summary----------SOURCES: Reuters: Sobyanin on drones & airport halts (July 19, 2025)The Sun: four-night blitz, airport shutdowns Reuters: 122 drones intercepted July 17, broader strike Kyiv Independent: airlines' losses of 20 bn roublesWashington Post: infrastructure & telecom disruptionsReuters/AP: casualties and public frustrationAP News/Reuters: Russia-Ukraine drone exchanges, Western arms dealsWikipedia: Nov 2024, summer 2024 drone pushesAtlantic Council & CSIS: drone strategy, cost-effectivenessReuters: civilian impacts across regionsThe Washington Post: mobile internet blackouts centralised Guardian/Independent/WSJ: peace talks, escalation, Trump involvement----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

Andrey Kurkov is considered to be one of the greatest contemporary Ukrainian writers. His work, including novels like Death and the Penguin and Grey Bees, is dark, humorous and satirical. As a keen observer of post-Soviet society, Kurkov proved to have prophetic qualities. What role does literature have in times of war?Since Russia fully invaded Ukraine, Kurkov said he wasn't able to write fiction anymore. Yet, in a time when Ukraine's culture is under threat, Kurkov's voice remains vital. Kurkov has become one of the most important voices documenting the war's impact on Ukrainian culture and identity.Putin's calculation is simple: a Ukraine with a permanent war in its eastern region will never be fully welcomed by Europe or the rest of the world - Andrey KurkovAndrey Kurkov (1961) is a Ukrainian writer and journalist. His novels, including Death and the Penguin, Grey Bees, and The Silver Bone, have been translated into over 40 languages.

For this special episode, I sat down with Mykolai Sierga, the founder of Cultural Forces, a Ukrainian organization using art and culture to address wartime challenges. We explore how Mikolai rapidly pivoted from artist to soldier to cultural ambassador after Russia's invasion. He shares insights on masculinity in crisis, the power of storytelling in war, and using music to bridge divides. We discuss Cultural Forces' innovative approach to maintaining support for Ukraine internationally, including performances at NATO and Cannes. Mykolai offers a unique perspective on the transformative impact of war and the vital role of culture in shaping societal values and political landscapes.

Republicans promise to continue investigating former President Biden's inner circle about any use of the autopen, especially as tell-all books and interviews emerge about Biden's cognitive decline while in office. FOX News Digital reports former White House press secretary Karine Jean Pierre and White House attorney Ian Sams have been called to testify, with the House Oversight Committee considering calling on Jill Biden as well. FOX News Sunday anchor Shannon Bream joins the Rundown to discuss the ongoing investigation into Biden's autopen use and what is likely to be discovered. After advocating for a peaceful resolution to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, former President Trump has shifted course, now agreeing to send weapons to Ukraine, though not without cost. Founder of the Ukraine Freedom Project Steven Moore and the group's Chief Operating Officer and Ukrainian native Anna Shvetsova join the podcast to share what they've witnessed on the ground, the untrustworthiness of Vladimir Putin, and why they believe strong U.S. leadership could be the key to turning the tide in the conflict.

Edition No192 | 17-07-2025 - What has been the reaction to Trump's ultimatum of military backing and sanctions increases after 50 days? We break down Western and Ukrainian responses, but crucially also the reaction from Russian leaders and propagandists. Without giving too much away, the Russian reaction can be summarized as “so what”. It seems they have heard all these threats before, from stopping the war in 24 hours, to two weeks, two weeks, two weeks, two weeks. And now it's 50 days; I don't think they take the threat seriously. They still believe Trump is largely acting in their interests. Are they delusional to think so? Will this hubris and endless aggression eventually lead to the collapse of Russia? Let's unpack all this in today's episode – and Russians' attitude to the war, “Why Stop…”.----------DESCRIPTION:Analyzing Trump's 50-Day Ultimatum to Russia: Impacts and ReactionsIn this episode of Silicon Bites, we delve into the global reactions to Trump's 50-day ultimatum to Russia, promising military backing and increased sanctions. We explore the dismissive reaction from Russian leaders, responses from Western and Ukrainian politicians, and the skepticism surrounding the effectiveness of the ultimatum. The discussion covers potential outcomes, including increased Russian aggression, the impact on the Ukrainian conflict, and the broader implications for international relations. We also highlight calls for immediate action and a unified Western policy to counter Russia's ongoing military strategies in Ukraine.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction: The Provocative Question00:31 Trump's Ultimatum and Reactions01:57 Western and Ukrainian Responses02:33 Russian Dismissal and Propaganda05:26 European Disarray and Sanctions Debate06:23 Military Aid and Strategic Implications08:06 Russia's Summer Offensive11:39 Conclusion: The Need for Unified Action----------LINKS: https://x.com/JuliaDavisNews https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3072ezle7yo https://edition.cnn.com/2025/07/16/politics/ukraine-russia-putin-trump-strategy-shift-analysis https://www.cbsnews.com/news/russia-trump-ukraine-war-ceasefire-ultimatum-sanctions-unacceptable/ https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-war-putin-trump-zelenskyy-eb878d323d03656d9496d927ebb9e1c4 https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2025/07/14/trump-gives-russia-50-days-to-resolve-ukraine-war-a89813 https://www.ukrinform.net/rubric-polytics/4015860-latvian-fm-urges-trump-to-impose-russia-sanctions-now-not-wait-50-days.html https://news.sky.com/story/ukraine-war-latest-trump-to-announce-ukraine-weapons-plan-as-un-chief-visits-washington-12541713 https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/ukraine-russia-war-trump-50-day-peace-deal-sanctions-b2789842.html https://edition.cnn.com/2025/07/15/europe/putin-window-ukraine-war-trump-analysis-intl-hnk https://responsiblestatecraft.org/trump-50-day-deadline-russia/https://www.politico.com/news/2025/07/16/trump-sanctions-braze-latvia-00459093https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russias-medvedev-says-preemptive-strikes-against-west-could-be-needed-tass-2025-07-17/ https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jul/17/ukraine-war-briefing-weapons-will-be-europes-support-to-ukraine-not-trumps-kallas-suggestshttps://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/trump-can-end-ukraine-war-with-secondary-sanctions-says-zelensky-aide-fcn7b8x2s ----------

Edition No193 | 18-07-2025 - After episodes that focused on the utterances of Igor Girkin (Strelkov), here is another repugnant character, but one nonetheless that is speaking out about the ineptitude and pointlessness of Putin's war against Ukraine. Is this the start of a Z-Patriot rebellion, something that Putin is likely far more fearful of, than the so-called liberal opposition. Z Rebellion: Gubarev, Putin, and the Cracking Facade of Russian Ultra-Loyalism. Today's episode: how a strange group of bloggers, loud mouths, and battlefield fantasists — the so-called Z-Patriots — are turning on their own emperor – or at least starting to point in his direction and proclaim that the emperor has no clothes on. Our criminal Russian nationalist of the week? Pavel Gubarev. The former governor of the self-proclaimed Peoples of Donetsk in 2014. Once a proud foot soldier of Russia's imperialist crusade — now sounding alarm bells that Putin's army is losing. And claiming the losses are spectacular. With Igor Strelkov in jail, Gubarev has inherited his crown — not as a leader of troops, but of outrage. And his new role? Frontline Cassandra. Warning that defeat is near while the Kremlin fiddles and drops glide bombs on Ukrainian apartment blocks yet has no military strategy.----------DESCRIPTION:----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------CHAPTERS:----------LINKS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1TrJyUJljs&t=710shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQesztN6TeAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wixw7suSFjUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNYc7tZxa5ohttps://www.independent.co.uk/tv/news/ukraine-russia-war-donetsk-putin-b2200925.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavel_Gubarev ----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

Israel targets Syria's Sweida in new strike "Israel has launched a new air strike in southern Syria's Sweida city. The attack late on Thursday targeted the outskirts of the city. The strike came a day after the Syrian Interior Ministry confirmed a new ceasefire agreement in the city, which includes full reintegration of the southern province under central government authority. Israel has been targeting the capital, Damascus, as well as Sweida and Daraa. Meanwhile, the United States has said it opposed its ally Israel's strikes in Syria but did not take up the matter with Tel Aviv. " Israel's bloodbath in Gaza continues "Israel has killed at least 94 Palestinians and wounded 367 others in besieged Gaza over the last 24 hours amid its ongoing genocide in the enclave. The death toll since Israel's resumption of the genocide on March 18 after a two-month truce has also climbed to 7,843, in addition to 27,933 others wounded. The majority of the victims are women and children. Meanwhile, Israel bombed the Catholic Holy Family Church in Gaza City's Zeitoun neighbourhood, the only Catholic church in Gaza, killing at least three people and wounding several others including the priest of the church. "Ukraine, US considering major drone deal" "President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy are considering a deal that involves Washington buying battlefield-tested Ukrainian drones in exchange for Kiev purchasing weapons from the US. Ukrainian drones have been able to strike targets as deep as 1,300 kilometers into Russian territory. Zelenskyy has said drones were the key tool that has allowed his country to fight with Russia's for more than three years." Slovenia bans Ben-Gvir, Smotrich over Gaza's 'unbearable situation' "Slovenia has become the first EU member state to formally declare two Israeli ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich as persona non grata, citing their role in what it called the ""unbearable situation"" in Gaza. Slovenia's move follows its June recognition of the State of Palestine. Meanwhile Belgium is mulling to impose sanctions against Israel if the humanitarian situation in Gaza does not improve." G20 finance chiefs meet under tariff cloud in South Africa "South Africa has urged G20 countries to provide global and cooperative leadership to tackle challenges, including rising trade barriers, as the bloc's finance chiefs met under the shadow of President Donald Trump's tariff threats. Host South Africa, under its presidency's motto ""Solidarity, Equality, Sustainability"", has aimed to promote a Pan-African agenda, with topics including the high cost of capital and funding for climate crisis action."

We hear from Ksenia Kagarlitskaya, founder of the Freedom Zone campaign that organizes festivals around the world in support of political prisoners and their families. She plays a recorded message from her father, imprisoned Marxist Boris Kagarlitsky in Penal Colony No. 4. Historian Simon Pirani and exiled scholar Ilya Budraitskis draw attention to the silenced left prisoners of conscience resisting war — both from inside Russia's prison system and in exile. This is not just about Russia. As authoritarianism surges globally, the criminalization of dissent follows a familiar script. The day before this panel on July 3, eleven political prisoners, including Kagarlitsky, issued an open letter to world leaders. They called for the mass release of Russian political prisoners and Ukrainian civilian hostages — an estimated 10,000 people — as part of any peace settlement between Russia and Ukraine. As pressure builds for an end to the war, their call must become ours: freedom for all political prisoners! Jacobin Radio with Suzi Weissman features conversations with leading thinkers and activists, with a focus on labor, the economy, and protest movements.

The Ukrainian town of Irpin made international headlines at the outset of Russia's 2022 full-scale invasion when local reservists repelled Russian forces advancing toward Kyiv. But the toll was severe for the town Ukraine has now designated a “hero city.” Hundreds of civilians were killed during Russia's month-long occupation of Irpin, and thousands of buildings were destroyed. Among those was the main campus building of the State Tax University. Now a Bay Area organization is helping to rebuild the university, bringing design and construction ideas that it hopes will be a model for other sites. We'll talk about the project and the multilayered challenges Ukraine faces as it seeks to rebuild while still at war. The reporting for this episode was supported by the International Women's Media Foundation's Women on the Ground: Reporting from Ukraine's Unseen Frontlines Initiative in partnership with the Howard G.

Edition No191 | 17-07-2025 - Putin's Economic Terminal Spiral — More Guns, No Butter, and Not Much of anything Else. This is what happens when you launch a war, alienate the civilized world, and try to run a dark-ages style empire on barrels of crude and a bunch of Telegram propagandists.Let's dig into the quiet implosion of the Russian economy – rampant inflation, falsified numbers, and a military-industrial complex so bloated it's eating the country alive. Let's start with the basics: Russia isn't just in a war—it's in a payment crisis. But unlike in the 1990s, the regime is denying it and trying to falsify economic figures to cover up the sale of the crisis. And unlike that 1990s, no one is coming to help in the West. Some presume that China and India will continue to support Russia, but those relationships are far shallower and more transactional than many assume. China will not be bailing out the Russian economy. ----------DESCRIPTION:Putin's Economic Terminal Spiral: The Imminent Collapse of Russia's EconomyThis episode delves into the severe economic crisis facing Russia as a result of its ongoing war and isolation from the global community. It explores rampant inflation, falsified economic data, and a massive military-industrial complex that's consuming the country's resources. With a focus on ghost payments, the depletion of the Sovereign Wealth Fund, and the struggle to maintain civilian infrastructure, the video highlights the unsustainable financial bubble that Putin's regime has built. The episode also discusses the broader implications for Russia's future as Western sanctions bite harder and public discontent rises.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction to the Series00:08 Putin's Economic Terminal Spiral00:50 The Quiet Implosion of the Russian Economy01:08 Russia's Payment Crisis02:34 The Ministry of Lies and Deferred Liabilities03:26 Military Spending and Civilian Struggles04:15 Inflation and Budget Deficit06:27 Western Sanctions and Import Substitution08:22 The Desperate Gamble08:46 Conclusion: The Looming Collapse----------LINKS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w501eh8QGTQ&t=156s ----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

It's been 3 1/2 years since Russia launched an unprovoked invasion of its Ukrainian neighbour. Ukraine's capacity to resist has depended on two things: its own will to fight and support from its allies. Until January this year the US was one of those allies. Then things changed. But in the last week President Trump seems to have taken a turn against Russia. The US president said he was “very unhappy” with President Putin over the lack of progress towards a ceasefire agreement to end the war in Ukraine. On Monday the White House announced 100 per cent tariffs on countries which do business with Russia - those tariffs to begin in 50 days time unless a ceasefire with Ukraine is agreed. President Trump also announced that the US would be sending weapons to Ukraine which NATO allies - and not America - would pay for. David Aaronovitch and guests discuss whether the tide is turning in the Trump-Putin relationship and if this could change the course of the war between Russia and Ukraine.

I'm speaking today with Yevhen Lyr, author of the novels, The God of the Steps (Євген Лір «Степовий бог») and The Flood. On June 6, 2023, the Kakhovka Dam in Russian-occupied Ukraine was destroyed, unleashing catastrophic flooding in Kherson and surrounding regions. It is widely believed to have been a deliberate act of ecocide by Russian forces. The Flood was inspired, provoked event by that act of barbarism and is a is a literary tapestry woven from real testimonies, documentary journalism, and fictional connectors. It centres on the aftermath of the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam — an event that devastated parts of southern Ukraine and submerged Kherson in water and grief. The story follows a newcomer to the city, “the Clock smith,” who listens to and collects the stories of soldiers, volunteers, survivors, and locals. ----------LINKS:https://x.com/lyryevhenhttps://store.ukrainer.net/en/product/book-flood/https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/235824462-the-flood----------Yevhen Lyr Discusses 'The Flood': A Novel Inspired by Ukraine's TragedyIn this episode, we speak with Yevhen Lyr, author of 'The Flood,' a novel inspired by the catastrophic flooding following the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam in Russian-occupied Ukraine on June 6, 2023. We discuss the real-life testimonies, documentary journalism, and fictional elements that make up his work. Yevhen Lyr shares his personal connection to Southern Ukraine, his experiences as a volunteer and soldier, and the importance of bearing witness through literature. The narrative follows a clocksmith who collects stories from those affected by the disaster. We also touch on the challenges of translating the novel into Ukrainian, the media's response to the dam's destruction, and the vital role of culture in countering Russian propaganda.----------CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction to Yevhen Lyr and His Novel 'The Flood'00:08 Background of the Kakhovka Dam Destruction01:52 Yevhen Lyr's Personal Connection to Ukraine04:48 The Challenges of Translating 'The Flood'05:52 Bearing Witness to Man-Made Disasters15:37 The Artistic and Cultural Losses21:04 The Symbolism in 'The Flood'39:56 The Role of Ukrainian Writers in Countering Propaganda45:42 Promoting 'The Flood' and Future Plans----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

In this episode of Breaking History, Matt Ehret and Ghost welcome special guest Joaquin Flores for an in-depth exploration of the escalating geopolitical conflicts in Syria, Azerbaijan, and beyond. The conversation opens with analysis of Israel's sudden strikes on Damascus and the Druze regions, dissecting how internal Israeli politics, including Netanyahu's fragile coalition, are driving aggressive military actions. The discussion expands to the strategic aims of partitioning Syria along sectarian lines to create buffer zones and disrupt Russian and Iranian influence. From there, the hosts dive into the tangled dynamics in the Caucasus, explaining how Azerbaijan's ambitions, energy corridors, and tensions with Armenia could be used to bait Russia into a second front. They examine Turkey's delicate balancing act between NATO and Russia, the implications of pan-Turkic ideology, and how overlapping proxy interests risk merging the Ukrainian and Middle Eastern theaters into one broader conflict. The episode closes with reflections on NATO's looming financial crisis, the potential bankruptcy of European powers fueling arms sales, and whether Trump's geopolitical maneuvers are deliberately designed to drain the West's war machine.

The White House has played down reports that Donald Trump privately encouraged Volodymyr Zelensky to strike targets deep inside Russia, including Moscow and St Petersburg. That's despite the US president's promise to deliver more weapons to Ukraine via NATO allies, and a new threat of secondary tariffs on countries buying Russian oil and gas. So is his administration's approach to Russia changing?Also, we hear about the more than 250,000 Ukrainians who came to the UK under schemes granting them special protections in the first three years of war. With their initial permission to stay running out, many must now make difficult choices about whether to try and claim asylum or renew their existing status on a shorter-term basis. We speak to Oleksandra, who has seen her asylum application refused, and her lawyer Halyna Semchak, who is challenging government policy on the issue.Today's episode is presented by Jamie Coomarasamy and Vitaly Shevchenko.

HAS THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION SWITCHED SIDES TO KYIV?   1/8: The Russo-Ukrainian War: The Return of History. by  Serhii Plokhy  (Author) POPULAR SCIENCE 1920 https://www.amazon.com/Russo-Ukrainian-War-Return-History/dp/1324051191 Despite repeated warnings from the White House, Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 shocked the world. Why did Putin start the war―and why has it unfolded in previously unimaginable ways? Ukrainians have resisted a superior military; the West has united, while Russia grows increasingly isolated. Serhii Plokhy, a leading historian of Ukraine and the Cold War, offers a definitive account of this conflict, its origins, course, and the already apparent and possible future consequences. Though the current war began eight years before the all-out assault―on February 27, 2014, when Russian armed forces seized the building of the Crimean parliament―the roots of this conflict can be traced back even earlier, to post-Soviet tensions and imperial collapse in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Providing a broad historical context and an examination of Ukraine and Russia's ideas and cultures, as well as domestic and international politics, Plokhy reveals that while this new Cold War was not inevitable, it was predictable. Ukraine, Plokhy argues, has remained central to Russia's idea of itself even as Ukrainians have followed a radically different path. In a new international environment defined by the proliferation of nuclear weapons, the disintegration of the post–Cold War international order, and a resurgence of populist nationalism, Ukraine is now more than ever the most volatile fault line between authoritarianism and democratic Europe.

Though the current war began eight years before the all-out assault―on February 27, 2014, when Russian armed forces seized the building of the Crimean parliament―the roots of this conflict can be traced back even earlier, to post-Soviet tensions and imperial collapse in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Providing a broad historical context and an examination of Ukraine and Russia's ideas and cultures, as well as domestic and international politics, Plokhy reveals that while this new Cold War was not inevitable, it was predictable. Ukraine, Plokhy argues, has remained central to Russia's idea of itself even as Ukrainians have followed a radically different path. In a new international environment defined by the proliferation of nuclear weapons, the disintegration of the post–Cold War international order, and a resurgence of populist nationalism, Ukraine is now more than ever the most volatile fault line between authoritarianism and democratic Europe.

HAS THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION SWITCHED SIDES TO KYIV?   8/8: The Russo-Ukrainian War: The Return of History. by  Serhii Plokhy  (Author) 1923 https://www.amazon.com/Russo-Ukrainian-War-Return-History/dp/1324051191 Despite repeated warnings from the White House, Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 shocked the world. Why did Putin start the war―and why has it unfolded in previously unimaginable ways? Ukrainians have resisted a superior military; the West has united, while Russia grows increasingly isolated.

Send us a textThis episode is a gut punch of clarity and common sense wrapped in Hoist-fueled sarcasm. Aaron and Peaches sits down with retired Marine Corps Colonel Curtis Lee—civil affairs legend, community builder, and founder of Carolinas for Ukraine. From mentoring under three-war combat vets to spearheading grassroots refugee resettlement, Curtis breaks down the real meaning of service after service.And oh yeah—we're not afraid to poke the bear. Illegal immigration? We say no. Strategic, vetted, value-driven immigration? Hell yes. Curtis' program resettles Ukrainian families legally—and it might just be the model for how we fix the entire U.S. immigration dumpster fire.We hit topics the media won't touch with a ten-foot boom mic:The Afghanistan withdrawal debacle

This week on the Mark Levin Show, there's a fake MAGA faction within conservatism that harbors dangerous ideologies, including affinities for Hitler sympathizers and antisemitic rhetoric. Darryl Cooper promotes revisionist history, such as portraying Churchill as a villain and Hitler as misunderstood. Later, the big, beautiful bill is not perfect, but it's pretty good. Republicans didn't have enough votes to cut anymore. Democrats are trying to tell you there are Medicaid cuts. No, it's cutting off people who shouldn't be getting Medicaid. The Texas flood has caused immense heartbreak, with over 100 dead and more than 160 missing. Among the tragic stories are two young sisters, aged 13 and 11, found drowned but holding hands. Mother Nature can be a monster. Also, President Trump has had enough of Putin. Putin is a genocidal maniac responsible for slaughtering Ukrainian civilians, but there are some in Fake MAGA who root for Russia. Lower federal courts are ignoring Supreme Court rulings, with judges defying the Constitution and law on immigration. In LA, a judge rules that ICE roundups are racist, alleging indiscriminate arrests of brown-skinned people at Home Depots, car washes, farms, etc., due to ethnicity and a 3,000-daily quota. In addition, in New Hampshire, a judge upholds birthright citizenship via national injunction, citing long-standing practice over constitutional analysis. The media ignore this, while actions persist. The judges have changed, not the Constitution. Also, President Trump has made enormous progress domestically and internationally, but institutions are being turned against Americans. Democrats will inevitably win elections and use the permanent government, courts, and administrative state to try to permanently embed their ideology, making it irreversible.
