President Trump has made it clear: whichever nation is the obstacle to peace in ending Russia's war on Ukraine will face an opponent with the military aid and backing of the United States. Putin has no intention of giving up his objectives in Ukraine and Trump is over the bull. Reversing a Pentagon freeze of critical weapons shipments to Ukraine, Trump announced Monday night that more defensive weapons were on the way. In the wake of Russia's largest combined drone and missile strike, having Patriot missile systems is paramount to Ukraine's ability to defend themselves. So, what's it going to take to bring Putin to the table? How can we sufficiently arm Ukraine on Russia's dime? And when will this bloody war end?General Jack Keane is a retired 4-star general and the former Vice Chief of Staff of the US Army. He is also the Chairman of the Institute for the Study of War, a Fox News Senior Strategic Analyst, and a member of the Secretary of Defense Policy Board.

For review:1. The Houthi rebels launched a ballistic missile at Israel from Yemen Tuesday evening, marking the first attack from the Iran-backed group since the ceasefire came into effect in the Gaza Strip two months ago. 2. IDF Aerial Offensive in Gaza.  The Israeli PM- Benjamin Netanyahu- said that the military campaign was launched on the recommendation of Israel's intelligence services and the IDF, and that it was a last resort after weeks of failed efforts to get Hamas to free more hostages. 3.  President Trump & Russian President Putin Phone Call.4.  Germany's parliament on Tuesday voted in favor of amending the constitution to enable significantly increased defense spending. As a result, a new aid package to Ukraine worth €3 billion ($3.28 billion) could be released by Berlin by the end of this week.5. F-35 Joint Program Office Assures Allies that the Warplane Has "No Kill Switch".The Pentagon today attempted to reassure its international partners in the F-35 program that there is no “kill switch” on the stealth fighter jet that the US could use to render it ineffective — the latest signal that there are real concerns abroad about American stewardship of the program amid tensions with historical allies. 6.  US “near peer” adversaries are “practicing dogfighting” in space to simulate orbital combat in yet another step up their wide-ranging effort to develop capabilities to deny, disrupt, degrade and/or destroy US space capabilities, the Space Force's second in command warned today (General Michael Guetlein, Vice Chief of Space Operations).  And while General Guetlein did not specify which countries five satellites were involved, a Space Force spokesperson later told reporters that the demonstration was Chinese.

CQ Brown, the former Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Lisa Franchetti, the Vice Chief of the Air Force Gen. Jim Slife and the three military service judge advocates general; Elon Musk and his team continue to terrorize federal workers; Washington sides with Beijing, Pyongyang and Minsk by voting against a UN measure blaming Russia for the war against Ukraine as Washington extorts gas, oil and rare earths concessions from Kyiv without extending security guarantees; the suggestion that a neutral Ukraine will ensure peace; Trump's bizarre Gaza video as the first phase of hostage and prisoner exchanges end between Israel and Hamas.

Mark Norman believes an attack from the U.S. in not hypothetical. It's already happening. And Canada's lacking a strategy to respond.    He first laid out his argument in an opinion piece for the National Post titled  “Canada's relationship with the U.S. can't be saved.”   He joins Paul to explain why he thinks we need to change our national mindset towards the U.S.    Mark Norman is the former Commander of the Royal Canadian Navy and Vice Chief of the Defense Staff of Canada.   Season 3 of The Paul Wells Show is sponsored by McGill University's Max Bell School of Public Policy.

On this episode of Reaganism, Reagan Institute Director Roger Zakheim is joined by foreign policy and national security expert General Jack Keane who formerly served as the Vice Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army. They discuss the National Defense Strategy commission and its latest report, the ongoing war in Ukraine, and the increasingly dangerous and complex situation in the Middle East.

Ukraine's cross-border counterattack into Kursk Oblast, Russia, flipped the script on those who thought Ukrainians were losing in a stalemated war. Not only is the operation a brilliant tactical move, forcing the Russians to move troops to defend their own territory, but the invasion of Kursk also gives Ukraine leverage in any future negotiations. However the war is not won yet, and it is now up to the Biden administration to finally put an end to disastrous policies and restrictions on Ukraine that have only prolonged the fighting. General Jack Keane is a retired 4-star general and the former Vice Chief of Staff of the US Army. He is also the Chairman of the Institute for the Study of War, a Fox News Senior Strategic Analyst, and a member of the Secretary of Defense Policy Board. General Keane has previously advised four Defense Secretaries and was a member of the 2018 and 2022 Congressional Commission on the National Defense Strategy.Read the transcript here.

The Air Force is at the epicenter of generational transformation. The security environment is posing severe risks the likes of which have not been seen in decades; the force is in the middle of a massive modernization cycle—including two legs of the nuclear triad and NC3; the information age is radically redefining elements of how missions are executed; and the attributes required for individual Airmen to meet mission objectives continue to evolve. All of this is occurring at a time of extreme budget pressure, high COCOM demand, and challenges tied to recruiting and retention. This is a no-fail era for the Air Force. The decisions made in the coming years will radically impact options available to future leaders for decades.

Where does it fall in sequencing?How do you decide which chemotherapy medication to recommend? Can they be stopped and restarted? Can they be repeated? Can you take more than one drug in the category? Can they be taken in combination with another drug?Does taking chemotherapy preclude someone from getting another treatment in the future such as Lutathera PRRT or a clinical trial of alpha PRRT?What do you see as the future of chemotherapy in neuroendocrine cancer treatment? MEET PAMELA L.

Unveiling a Heartfelt Journey: Love, Family, and Resilience in Military Life. This week, we honour Remembrance Day by shedding light on the selfless commitment and sacrifice of military spouses. My guest is Vicki Cody, author of here memoir “Army Wife: A Story of Love and Family in the Heart of the Army,” Vicki shares her experience as an army wife as well as a leader to many in her community. Our story begins in the summer of 1969 when Vicki crosses paths with West Point cadet Dick Cody. What initially began as a schoolgirl crush blossomed into a profound love story, spanning almost fifty years of marriage. Vicki's steadfast support accompanies Dick throughout his remarkable career, from lieutenant to four-star general and Vice Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army. Her memoir “Army Wife” not only delves into the commitment between spouses but also paints a vivid picture of unwavering dedication to the military way of life. While raising their two sons, Vicki learns to navigate the daily challenges intertwined with the Army's unique demands, including emotional roller coasters, extended separations and frequent relocations. Over more than three decades in an Army family, Vicki embraces her distinct circumstances and discovers joy, self-fulfillment, and pride while steadfastly preserving her identity as a woman, a leader, a successful author and a mentor to many others. This poignant tale of love, honour and commitment is a unique and fitting tribute to Remembrance Day and the often-untold story of all who support those who serve. At the 34:21 mark I end the show with my thoughts about November 11 and why this day matters.

He’s thankful that he can finally speak freely about what he’s passionate about. We must all remember that we are free people, and that we win by living free as ourselves in this world! No one can make you do anything. So, we all we need to all remember that we are free people. Let us be ourselves. That's how we win. So, here's the freedom." [...]

Our discussion with COL (R) L. Scott Lingamfelter, author of Desert Redleg and Yanks in Blue Berets.  L. Scott Lingamfelter was born in Richmond, VA. He then attended the Virginia Military Institute, graduating as a Distinguished Military Graduate, and commissioned in the Army as a Field Artilleryman in 1973. As a combat artilleryman with the 1st Infantry Division during Operation Desert Storm, he helped plan and execute the largest field artillery assault on enemy forces since World War II. He was then selected to command the 6th - 37th  FA BN in South Korea. After many assignments worldwide, including Germany, South Korea, and the Middle East, he rose to the rank of Colonel.  Following his service in numerous combat units, the Defense Intelligence Agency, as a Political-Military Officer in the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, and as a senior advisor on Special Access Programs to the Secretary of the Army, the Chief of Staff of the Army, and the Vice Chief of Staff of the Army, he concluded his military career as Military Assistant to the Director, Operational Test and Evaluation of the Office of the Secretary of Defense.  He retired in 2001 after 28 years of active duty service. Since retirement he gained significant experience in the war-torn Middle East as a US Army Military Observer with the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization, working with both Observer Group Syria and Observer Group Lebanon in the midst of armed turmoil. He has also worked for the private sector focused on strategic planning in support of the senior leadership for the US Missile Defense Agency in Washington, D.C.  Additionally, he has worked in the emergency management, homeland security, and border security arena in support of Federal agencies, states, and localities. Elected to the Virginia House of Delegates from 2002 to 2018 representing Prince William and Fauquier Counties, he was a prominent voice for both fiscal and social conservatism in the General Assembly. Since retiring from the General Assembly, he authored his first book, Desert Redleg: Artillery Warfare in the First Gulf War (University Press of Kentucky, 2020) and a second book Yanks in Blue Berets: American UN Peacekeeping in the Middle East that will be released on 4 July 2023 (University Press of Kentucky). He has started another book on reviving the revolutionary spirit of America's founding fathers in today's culture. Colonel Lingamfelter routinely contributes to the commentary page of The Washington Times on a range of political and national security topics.

Military marriages face many challenges that can negatively impact your relationship. Unfortunately, the divorce rate among military couples is higher than in the civilian population. The good news is, a study published in 2017 in the Journal of Family Issues found that the divorce rate among military couples declined between 2005 and 2011. So how can we keep up with that popular trend? In this episode, Vicki Cody, an expert military spouse and author, breaks down how to keep your marriage vibrant during and after military service, mistakes to avoid, and the resources available to military couples.  Vicki knows a thing or two about military marriage, she has been an Army wife for 33 years. Her husband is Richard Arthur “Dick” Cody, a retired decorated four-star general who served as the 31st Vice Chief of Staff of the United States Army. In 1991, then Col. Cody's Apache battalion fired the first shots of Operation Desert Storm. Vicki is the author of Army Wife: A Story of Love and Family in the Heart of the Army and Fly Safe: Letters from the Gulf War and Reflections from Back Home. She is also now an Army mom, with two sons active in the service as Apache helicopter pilots. In our interview, Mrs. Cody shares that one of her sons is the commander of the 101st Airborne Division's combat aviation brigade at Fort Campbell. His unit suffered a devastating loss on March 29, 2023, during a training mission when two HH-60 Black Hawk helicopters crashed, killing all 9 soldiers aboard the Black Hawks. You'll her tell the story and how it impacted everyone. The show notes can be found here: https://laceylangford.com/podcast/Military-Marriage-Strong-and-Vibrant

Vicki Cody's narrative and journal entries-highlights the selflessness and sacrifices families make for their military members. She also illuminates the roller coaster of stress, loneliness, sleepless nights, humor, joys, and, eventually, resilience that make up her life while her husband is away at war. Her husband, Richard Cody, is a retired four-star general and served as the 31st Vice Chief of Staff of the United States Army. She was with him – oceans apart -- as he served in the evacuation of Vietnam and later when he was in the Gulf during Operation Desert Storm.They would move 18 times in 33 years, and as she raised their family of two sons she would see them turn into Apache helicopter pilots for the famed 101st Airborne Division. When Vicki Cody got married 46 years ago, she also became wedded to the Army. In fact, her marriage has been inseparable from the military. She has spent her adult life supporting her family of soldiers and penned two award-winning books –Army Wife and Fly Safe – that help tell the story of what she and millions of army spouses and parents face when their loved ones go off to serve their country thousands of miles away. An author, speaker, and relentless military family advocate, Vicki is on a mission to help those who support our selfless service members. “Through my narrative and journal entries, I share my journey giving the reader a glimpse of the ups and downs, challenges, and triumphs, and the stress of war as seen through the eyes of the families back home,” says Vicki. “When you have no control over a situation you have to have faith; faith in yourself, faith in your partner, and during the really difficult times, I relied on my faith in God.” “Families live in fear of the late-night call or knock at the door to deliver bad news,” says Vicki. “I know many friends who have lost sons and daughters to the battle field. My books provide an authentic, insightful, and heartfelt look at those who are the backbone for our soldiers.”http://vickicody.comThe Douglas Coleman Show now offers audio and video promotional packages for music artists as well as video promotional packages for authors.Please see our website for complete details. http://douglascolemanshow.comIf you have a comment about this episode or any other, please click the link below.https://ratethispodcast.com/douglascolemanshow Please help us to continue to bring you quality content by showing your support for our show.https://fundrazr.com/e2CLX2?ref=ab_eCTqb8

This week marks the first anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The anniversary comes on the heels of the Chinese spy balloon debacle. Think these are unrelated issues? Not so – as General Jack Keane explains in this masterclass of logical statesmanship and responsible deterrence, victory in Ukraine is not only in America's interest and in the interest of the security of Europe, it is also crucial to deterring China from acts of aggression. From China buying Russian oil, to now hinting at supplying them with lethal weapons, these two American adversaries are increasingly interconnected. President Biden made a commendable trip to Kyiv to commemorate the anniversary of the war, a significant demonstration of America's continued support in the conflict. But hard power is also necessary to win in Ukraine, and yes, even retake territory formerly lost to Russian annexation. Jack Keane explains, in detail, what is required to make this possible.General Jack Keane is a retired 4-star general, former Vice Chief of Staff of the US Army, the chairman of the Institute for the Study of War, and a Fox News Senior Strategic Analyst.Download the transcript here.

General Charles Krulak coined the term "Three Block War" to describe the nature of 21st-century military service defined by peace-keeping, humanitarian aid, and full combat. But what happens next? Veterans are often unprepared to return home and begin new careers. We call this the Fourth Block.  FourBlock is a national non-profit that has supported thousands of transitioning service members across the nation in beginning new and meaningful careers.  Mike Abrams (@fourblock) is an Afghanistan veteran, founder of FourBlock, and author of two military transition books. He represents the military transition perspective. Lindsey Pollak (@lindsaypollak) is a career and workplace expert and New York Times bestselling author of three career advice books.
