In this episode of the ChinaPower podcast, Dr. Janka Oertel joins us to discuss the evolving relationship between Europe and China, and how Europe views both economic ties and security challenges posed by Beijing. She argues that China is not engaging in a successful charm offensive. Dr. Oertel describes how both the first and second Trump administration have shaped economic and security dynamics within the China-Europe relationship and outlines how Europe-China relations have become increasingly strained by competitive economic pressures imposed by China, such as issues with overcapacity, as well as how China's support for Russia following its full-scale invasion of Ukraine has undermined the relationship. She also examines Europe's internal responses to pressures coming from China and Europe's active attempts at economic diversification, defense buildup and strategic autonomy, and global outreach to partners and allies. Lastly, she elaborates on areas of potential greater collaboration between the EU and the Indo-Pacific as well as avenues for the U.S. and Europe to continue working together to address dual security and economic challenges posed by China. Dr. Janka Oertel is the director of Asia Programme at the European Council on Foreign Relations. Her expertise focuses on transatlantic China policy, emerging technologies, Chinese foreign and security policies, and security issues in Asia. Previously, she worked as a senior fellow in the Asia programme at the Berlin office of the German Marshall Fund of the United States, a programme director at Körber Foundation's Berlin office, a visiting fellow at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs (SWP Berlin) and a Carlo-Schmid fellow at United Nations Headquarters, New York. She has testified before the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the German Bundestag, and is frequently quoted in leading media outlets such as the Financial Times, the New York Times, The Economist, Süddeutsche Zeitung, El Confidencial, Berlingske, and many more. She holds a PhD from the University of Jena in Germany.

In today's episode we will be addressing feminism, violence against women and embracing our unique gifts as women with the ability to understand our power as a priestess, officiating as apprentices to our heavenly mother. It may seem random, but we're going to tie together as we talk about what it takes to become a Zion type community. Today I'm interviewing Dr. Valerie Hudson a major thought leader when it comes to priestisthood and embracing the theology of heavenly mother, dr. Hudson has published several articles under the pen name of VH Kessler in regards to these ideas on square 2. In our next episode will be doing a reading of some of these articles. Her spiritual work is a passion project that runs alongside her academic work where Dr. Valerie Hudson is a Distinguished scholar and expert on international security and foreign policy, she specializes in analysis of the relationship between gender and security, Dr. Hudson has developed a nation-by-nation database, called the WomanStats Database, containing empirical work linking the security of women to the security of states that is used by the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee, the United Nations, and International Security. she has been named the top 100 most Influential Global Thinkers by foreign policy. Her findings have been widely published. She has also authored several books on the Security Implications of how Sex Shapes Governance and National Security world wide. Dr. Hudson sees her esteemed academic work and her spiritual journey playing hand and hand as she understands intimately violence against women and what she calls the curse of nations and how and what we must do to overcome the historical predicament of violence against women and the potential consequences if we do not overcome this horrific situation. In this podcast, we cover some amazing ground, there are definitely adult themes that are difficult to grapple with and may be inappropriate for little ears. We cover violence against women that could potentially be triggering if you have been exposed to these horrors. We encourage you to honor wherever you're at on these issues. If you feel like you need to skip our discussion about violence against women, you could skip to minute 45 where we will be focused on the helpful tools for embracing our full potential as women. With that said let's go ahead and jump right into my interview with Dr. Valerie Hudson. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/inherimage/support

As the Russian invasion of Ukraine grinds on, it's nearly impossible for the ordinary observer to figure out what's really happening.  One of the problems is that war news is generated primarily by Ukrainian propaganda, which is endlessly parroted in the Western media. Anytime there is contradictory information – for example, mention of Ukraine's high casualties – Kiev pushes back so hard that Western leaders go silent. But what is clear is that looming on the horizon is the very real possibility of a nuclear war, as more and more European countries are drawn in to the conflict. The stakes could not be higher. To understand what's happening as the Ukraine situation grows more dire, I'm joined on this episode by my frequent guest Dr. Stephen Bryen, a senior fellow at the Center for Security Policy and by David P. Goldman - Spengler columnist and Deputy Editor for Asia Times and PJ Media. Stephen has over 50 years national security experience that includes serving as Senior Staff Director of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee and several stints in the Pentagon where he was known as the Yoda of the arms trade. David is also the Washington Fellow at the Claremont Institute and has vast subject matter expertise and has written extensively on international affairs and security matters.  This was a disturbing conversation framed in part by US Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley's recent statement that “it would be very, very difficult to militarily eject the Russian forces from Ukraine in 2023” and that the casualties on both sides are very high.  “This is something that Ukrainians keep trying to hide, but it's not a symmetrical conflict. It's an asymmetrical conflict,” explains Stephen. “The Russian side is much heavier, much bigger, more troops, more capabilities. In a war of attrition, Ukraine loses.”  “A few dozen tanks are not going to really make any difference in the strategic balance,” concurs David. “Ukrainians have fought very well and very hard, and they've been, from a command and control point of view, superior to the Russians overall, but remember that the troops they started with are not the troops they have now.” Among Ukraine's urgent call for more weapons is a 100-mile ground-launched long-range bomb known as ATACMS which would shift the war from Ukrainian to Russian territory. Putting this sort of weapon in Ukrainian hands will likely result in a wider war in Europe. And the US decision to ship upgraded nuclear bombs to Europe leads the Russians to conclude that a tactical nuclear war may be NATO's response if Ukraine collapses.  Washington is facing dangerous choices.  “Should it commit US forces or US air power to Ukraine?” asks Stephen. “If it did so, how quickly would the war spread in Europe? Would NATO, always far more boisterous than can be justified by reality, support sending NATO forces to Ukraine? Or would NATO's knees finally buckle?” “Reality is starting to set in a little bit in Europe that the next Russian target is not going to be in Ukraine. It's going to be in Europe.” David says it's time for a gut check: “The United States should step back and ask what our strategic interests are. Do we have an existential or even an important strategic interest in Ukraine?” “The Biden Administration, personified by Victoria Nuland, believes with religious fervor that Russia is destined to be a liberal democracy and that our goal in one way or another should be regime change, to get rid of Putin.”  But from the Russian's perspective, explains Stephen, “They lost their entire buffer, which was their award for winning a big part of World War II, when the Soviet Union collapsed. The Russians extracted promises from us that we wouldn't expand NATO further, and certainly not to Ukraine, and we broke those promises. Absolutely broke those promises.”  So here we are. Ukraine is being reduced to rubble. Russia is not going to be a liberal democracy.  “By making this a war effectively for regime change and threatening the Russians with not just asset seizures, but also war crimes and tribunals, this has caused everyone to rally around Putin,” David warns. “If we wanted to ensure his absolute leadership there, we couldn't have done it better.” The Russians firmly believe that the only negotiation is with Washington. It's time for some grown up diplomacy and for Washington to push for what up until now it has strictly opposed: a peace settlement.   Will Russia be willing to sit down and discuss a deal?  Stephen and David have a surprising candidate from within the Administration who might be able pull it off.

A message to the United States government and the international community to take concrete measures to ensure that President Erdogan is held accountable for his continued violation of international law and human rights was sent by the Chairman of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Robert Menendez. - Μήνυμα προς την κυβέρνηση των Ηνωμένων Πολιτειών αλλά και τη διεθνή κοινότητα για τη λήψη συγκεκριμένων μέτρων που θα διασφαλίσουν ότι ο πρόεδρος Ερντογάν θα λογοδοτήσει για τη συνεχόμενη παραβίαση του Διεθνούς Δικαίου και των ανθρωπίνων δικαιωμάτων, απέστειλε ο πρόεδρος της Επιτροπής Εξωτερικών Σχέσεων της αμερικανικής Γερουσίας, Ρόμπερτ Μενέντεζ.

“There is more respect to be won in the opinion of this world by a resolute and courageous liquidation of unsound positions than by the most stubborn pursuit of extravagant or unpromising objectives.” George F. Kennan, 1966 Americans may admire the valiant resistance of the Ukrainians to the Russian invasion and be proud that we have been able to support their defense. Yet now we have to ask: how does this war end? Neither the leaders of Russia or Ukraine have espoused a goal that can restore peace in the area. Nor have any other suppliers of cash, military assistance and equipment - including the United States - articulated what an acceptable outcome might be.  At what point are the players in the conflict in Ukraine willing to stop fighting and enter into genuine negotiations to bring peace in Ukraine? The primary concern of any American government must be the security interests of the American people. How is continuing to escalate the conflict in Ukraine serving American interests?  To learn more about what's increasingly looking like madness, I'm talking again with the very wise Dr. Stephen Bryen, a senior fellow at the Center for Security Policy and the Yorktown Institute. Dr Bryen has over 50 years national security experience with a long resume that includes serving as Senior Staff Director of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee and several stints in the Pentagon where he was known as the Yoda of the arms trade. “How many Ukrainians have to die before we sort this thing out?” asks Stephen. “What's the end game here?” Ukraine has never been of strategic importance to the United States. We have no treaties or agreements with Ukraine. The Ukrainians are now saying they need air defenses. Where are we going to get them? We would have to take them out of our inventory of active systems and move them to Ukraine.  The Biden Administration has been bent on regime change in Russia from day one. There were any number of things that could have been done to deter Putin's invasion of Ukraine, but we did not do them. “It's clear, this is an American war, using the Ukrainians as proxies,” says Stephen.  And now the war is escalating beyond what most “official Washington” could have imagined. Putin has installed a new commander, whose nickname is “General Armageddon” for his ruthless annihilation of Syria. Ukraine's President Zelensky has called for nuclear weapons. “They're calling tactical nuclear weapons at 15 kilotons tactical. The bomb that destroyed Hiroshima was 11 kilotons,” reminds Stephen “Nuclear war is nuclear war. If we get into a nuclear war, the chance of global nuclear war is very high indeed.” “This is not a Nintendo game. This is a deadly, serious, dangerous, globally dangerous situation, and we're not handling it responsibly.”  Strong and upsetting words. But true words. You won't find Dr Stephen Bryen's wisdom covered by the mainstream media. His is a voice that must be listened to.

In today's episode, there was a strong police presence in Lara in the Akamas peninsula on Sunday in efforts to prevent the residents of Ineia from digging turtle nests on Lara beach. In other news, “the status quo in Cyprus and Turkish activity in Varosha are unacceptable and contrary to the resolutions of the UN Security Council,” the president of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Robert Menendez said.

In his briefing to the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee, the Asst Sec of State for Central and South Asia Affairs, Donald Lu, has painted a picture of India as being intolerant to its minorities, especially the Muslims. Sree Iyer rebuts this premise and questions the data based on which this was arrived at, in this must-watch video. #India #SenateForeignRelations #DonaldLu #SecState #NarendraModi #JoeBiden References: 1. https://www.foreign.senate.gov/hearings/us-policy-towards-india030222

In today's episode, a massive oil slick which originated in Syria is expected to hit Cyprus' eastern coast early this morning. In other news, President Nicos Anastasiades yesterday bestowed Cyprus' highest order of merit to Robert Menendez, chairman of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and the shock over the 38 per cent hike in electricity prices compared to last August is still sparking outrage.

The US Senate Foreign Relations Committee recently passed the "Strategic Competition Act of 2021," a 281-page draft legislation with only one objective: full strategic competition with China.Considering that the two parties in the United States are currently highly aligned on anti-China issues, the specific content of the bill may still be adjusted, but the possibility of its final passage is very high.The content of this bill is very extensive, which is equivalent to the United States in the 21st century putting forward a complete "blueprint" for the Sino-US competition. In this "blueprint", it contains US strategic thinking and the specific operational methods and roadmap that the United States will implement in response to the rise of China.To a certain extent, the United States used this bill to sound the clarion call for comprehensive competition between China and the United States in the 21st century, and the outcome of this competition will also determine the respective national fortunes of China and the United States.I suggest that everyone who cares about international news and Sino-US relations should try their best to read the original text of this bill.Next, I will try to answer the following the most critical questions:What are the key points of the US "Strategic Competition Act of 2021"? and will the US achieve its goals?China Explained will show you that because of China's continued success in industrial upgrading, technological innovation and realizing its huge potential, it is an unstoppable process. The inevitable rise of China may feel intimidating and some simply reject it. Don't be. China's rise is part of the new global trend unlike what we have seen in the past one hundred years.

"The number of reported coronavirus cases in the United States topped 5 million on Sunday, double the number since the end of June," the Washington Post reported Monday. "The 5 million mark comes just 17 days after the US total exceeded 4 million ... The United States leads the world with a quarter of global infections." The Post also reported, "More than 97,000 US children tested positive for the coronavirus in the last two weeks of July ... according to data from the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Children's Hospital Association." How big of a problem is this for the US going forward?"Negotiations broke down this week between the White House and top Democrats in Congress over how best to help Americans cope with the heavy human and economic toll of the [COVID-19] crisis," Reuters reported over the weekend. With so much suffering in the US, why can't the two sides find a solution? We continue to hear vague warnings about various forms of foreign interference in the upcoming US elections in November. China, Iran and, of course, Russia are all allegedly scheming to interfere in the contest. The fact that the Supreme Court allowed a poll tax to be imposed upon released felons in Florida or that 6.7 million legal voters have been removed from the voting rolls are not the focus of media attention. Is this coincidental?Is the US launching an offensive against Chinese technology companies? Could this be the beginning of the end of the world wide web?"Three Republican senators have ordered Murkan Port on the island of Rugen to stop assisting Russian vessels constructing the final sections of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline," Deutsche Welle reported on August 7. "Republican Senators Ted Cruz, Tom Cotton and Ron Johnson accuse port operator Faehrhafen Sassnitz of 'knowingly providing significant goods, services, and support' for the project. ... In December 2019, Washington passed the Protecting Europe's Energy Security Act, targeting companies working on Nord Stream 2." When did this become illegal?A paper released by The Quincy Institute entitled "A New US Paradigm for the Middle East" calls for a "definitive end to the disastrous policy the United States has pursued in the region for nearly two decades," Gareth Porter wrote on August 7 in Responsible Statecraft. He believes that it "offers the first coherent analysis of what is wrong with that policy and the first conceptual framework for a fundamentally different approach." Is it feasible?According to Max Blumenthal at The Grayzone, "A prominent Hong Kong pundit and anti-China activist named Kong Tsung-gan has become a go-to source for Western media. An investigation by The Grayzone confirms Kong as a fake identity employed by an American teacher who's a ubiquitous figure at local protests." What are we to make of this?"How the US Failed at Its Foreign Policy Toward Venezuela" is a great article in CounterPunch by Vijay Prishad and Érika Ortega Sanoja. It opens with a recounting of an August 4 hearing before the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee, at which US State Department Special Representative Elliott Abrams was lambasted for his failures in Venezuela. "The senators, almost without exception, suggested that Abrams had been — since 2019 — responsible for a failed U.S. attempt to overthrow the Venezuelan government of President Nicolás Maduro," the article said. "From Republican Senator Mitt Romney to Democratic Senator Chris Murphy, Abrams received a severe tongue-lashing. There was no disagreement in the committee about the goals of U.S. policy, namely to overthrow — with force if necessary — the government of President Maduro." What does this tell us going forward?

Perhaps the most important global trend of the last few years has been the rise and transformation of information warfare. Researcher of media and propaganda Peter Pomerantsev asserted that in the digital age, real military engagement matters less than how it is broadcast—resulting is a constant deluge of lies, shock humor, absurdity, and fear-mongering designed to disorient us and undermine our sense of truth. Pomerantsev invited us to journey behind the enemy lines of the endless, multinational information war, offering insight from his book This Is Not Propaganda in order to explore the contours of this new global order. He shared information learned from protesters in Serbia, narco-warlords in Mexico, Fox News hosts in America, and the KGB officer who forced his own family into exile. Join Pomerantsev for a surreal envisioning of modern disinformation—and a critical treatise for navigating our new reality. Peter Pomerantsev is a Visiting Senior Fellow at the Institute of Global Affairs at the London School of Economics, an author and TV producer. He studies propaganda and media development, and has testified on the challenges of information war to the US House Foreign Affairs Committee, US Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the UK Parliament Defense Select Committee. Presented by Town Hall Seattle as part of the 2019 Homecoming Festival. Recorded live in The Forum on September 10, 2019.
