Not that long ago many church-going Americans saw Russia as a godless place, an “evil empire” in the words of Ronald Reagan. But in President Trump's second term, US-Russia relations have been turned on their head. The White House sided with the Kremlin at the United Nations, voting against a resolution to condemn Russia's invasion of Ukraine.This seismic shift is also being felt in parishes across America. Increasing numbers of US Catholics and Protestants are embracing Eastern Orthodoxy. Many converts disillusioned by the showbiz elements in many megachurches, say they are drawn to a faith with enduring traditions. Some, uneasy with social and demographic change, believe the churches they were raised in have lost their authority by going “woke” – shorthand for supporting equal marriage, female clergy, pro-choice, Black Lives Matter and other liberal issues.Some converts have hundreds of thousands of followers online, and push Kremlin narratives that Russia is the world's last bastion of true Christianity - a few of the most radical have even emigrated there. Lucy Ash has been to Texas – one of the most religious states in the US – to meet some new converts.

Welcome to Counter Stream—DiEM25's unfiltered monthly dive into the stories shaping our world that mainstream media ignores or distorts. In this powerful new episode, Julijana Zita is joined by Kinza Saleem for a wide-ranging conversation that connects the dots between Trump's authoritarian circus, global resource grabs, and the crumbling illusions of European identity. From Trump's self-coronation and war on democracy to the brutal deportations and executive orders that target the most vulnerable, we examine how psychological warfare and spectacle are being used to desensitise and divide. We look at the US-Russia deal-making over Ukraine exposing the new phase of imperialism: economic colonisation wrapped in “reconstruction.” Meanwhile, Congo burns in silence. China rises with vision and strategy. Europe cries at its own irrelevance. And the far right surges—while the left, once again, stands to pick up the pieces. This is not business as usual.

AP correspondent Naeun Kim reports on US-Russia officials holding talks right now in Saudi Arabia on a possible ceasefire in Ukraine.

Christo Grozev is a Bulgarian investigative journalist who has spent years tracking down Russian spies and is on Vladimir Putin's wanted list. Grozev's open-source journalism exposed spies linked to the poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal in 2018 and Alexei Navalny in 2020. Now he is at the centre of his own sinister Kremlin plot, as a Bulgarian spy-ring was sent by Moscow to target him and planned to kidnap and kill him, before they were arrested and convicted in the UK. He speaks to Krishnan Guru-Murthy in this episode of Ways to Change the World ahead of the streaming release of his new documentary ‘Kill List: Hunted by Putin's Spies' - which is available on Channel 4. Produced by Silvia Maresca, Calum Fraser, Ka Yee Mak.

Today's Headlines:  The ceasefire in Gaza has officially collapsed after months of stalled negotiations. The IDF launched widespread strikes, while the U.S. blamed Hamas for rejecting past proposals and refusing to return hostages. Meanwhile, Trump and Putin's highly anticipated call resulted in a 30-day ceasefire on energy infrastructure in Ukraine and Russia, suspension of U.S. aid to Ukraine, and negotiations for a maritime ceasefire. The Kremlin also claimed they discussed hosting a U.S.-Russia hockey series. At the same time, the Trump administration terminated a U.S.-funded initiative tracking Russian war crimes, including the deportation of Ukrainian children. Trump faced rare criticism from Chief Justice John Roberts for calling for a judge's impeachment after a ruling against his deportation policy. Separately, a federal judge blocked Elon Musk's attempt to shut down USAID, ruling it unconstitutional, and another judge ordered the Department of Education to restore grants cut during the administration's DEI purge. In a controversial move, Trump fired two Democratic members of the FTC, who argue the decision was illegal. And finally, NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore returned to Earth after an unplanned nine-month stay on the ISS due to a failed test flight.

Trump's recent meeting with Putin signals a major shift in global politics. The conversation focused on trade agreements and a potential ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine war. It highlighted a new world order where powerful nations like Russia, China, and India shape global dynamics. Trump's approach emphasizes the reestablishment of US-Russia relations, with real significance in the broader geopolitical shift rather than just the war itself.--Visit https://sambrosa.com/discount/TURLEY and use code TURLEY to get your 25% Discount*If you wanna take advantage of this ECONOMIC BOOM click on the link https://neoscdg.org/golden-age-summit or scan the QR code and get registered!**The content presented by sponsors may contain affiliate links.

Ghost and Matt Ehret break down the rise of Mark Carney, the globalist banker now positioned to take over Canada, and his deep ties to the World Economic Forum, Bilderberg, and the British Crown. They expose Canada's long-standing role as a tool of the British Empire, the technocratic networks shaping its policies, and how Trudeau's departure signals a shift in the global power game. Plus, they connect the dots between Carney's financial schemes, the push for a Green New Deal economy, and the historic battle to keep Canada from being used as a wedge against US-Russia relations. If you think Canada is just America's polite northern neighbor, think again...this episode will make you see it in a whole new light.

Eric and Eliot welcome Lt. Col. (ret.) Alexander Vindman, former director for Europe on the National Security Council during the first Trump term and author of The Folly of Realism: How the West Deceived Itself about Russia and Betrayed Ukraine (New York: Public Affairs Press, 2025). They discuss the U.S. government's prioritization of US-Russia relations over Ukraine policy across multiple Administrations and the tendency towards a transactional relationship with Ukraine as well as the degree of agency and responsibility of Ukrainian officials for this chronic state of affairs. They touch on the Obama Administration's underwhelming response to the seizure of Crimea and destabilization of Ukraine in 2014 as well as Trump's vulgar transactionalism and personal grudge against Zelensky as a motivation for the Oval Office meltdown two weeks ago. Eric and Eliot also discuss their respective articles in the Dispatch and the Atlantic on Russia's habit of violating agreements it has reached and Ukraine's success in fighting a war of attrition against Russia despite the media's misreporting of the state of the war. They also discuss the generational damage to American alliances and national security intellectual capital that the second Trump term is creating, Trump hostage envoy Adam Boehler's direct negotiation with Hamas terrorists, Trump's mistaken reference to Viktor Orban as the leader of Turkey, and Elon Musk and Marco Rubio's trashing of Poland's Foreign Minister on Twitter.

In this conversation, Brian Karem speaks with Alexander Vindman about his new book, 'The Folly of Realism,' which critiques the West's approach to Russia and its implications for Ukraine. Vindman discusses the historical context of US-Russia relations, the current state of the war in Ukraine, and the impact of Trump's foreign policy. He emphasizes the need for a long-term strategy that prioritizes democratic values and alliances over short-term gains. The conversation also touches on the internal dynamics of the Trump administration and the potential for future political shifts in the US.Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/JATQPodcastFollow us on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/jatqpodcast.bsky.socialIntragram: https://www.instagram.com/jatqpodcastYoutube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCET7k2_Y9P9Fz0MZRARGqVwThis Show is Available Ad-Free And Early For Patreon supporters here:https://www.patreon.com/justaskthequestionpodcastPurchase Brian's book "Free The Press"  

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met Donald Trump at the White House today for the first time since US-Russia negotiations on ending the war in Ukraine began. During the meeting, he clashed with Trump and Vice President JD Vance, who told him he was being “disrespectful”. We hear reaction from Washington DC, Kyiv, and elsewhere in Europe.Also on the programme: Protests erupt across Greece on the second anniversary of a train crash that killed 57 people; and the Japanese documentary about sexual assault that could win an Oscar this weekend.(Photo: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky departs the White House in Washington DC, USA, 28th February 2025.

Three years into the invasion of Ukraine, and amid the Trump administration's rapid shift in US-Russia relations, can European and NATO allies continue to rely on the United States for support? On the GZERO World Podcast, Ian Bremmer is on the ground in Germany on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference for a hard look at the future of European security with US Senator Elissa Slotkin. World leaders and diplomats gathered at the annual conference to discuss global security challenges, but the biggest story, by far, in Munich was the news of President Trump's 90-minute phone call with Vladimir Putin, which upended three years of US-led efforts to isolate Russia diplomatically.
