Edition No181 | 07-07-2025 - This episode humorously examines the suspicious death of people working under Putin, comparing these incidents to critical "Windows errors," suggesting the regime might need a reboot. We discuss this pattern of mysterious deaths and unexplained accidents, and the impact of these events on the perception of working inside Russia. Stay tuned as we delve into this dark history and try to understand the possible causes.----------PLASMA AND AMBULANCES APPEAL:Please write to: Director Objective Ukraine, Info@ObjectiveUkraine.comBefore we do this is a message from a dear friend in Kyvi who works with the Ukrainian Armed Forces and Ministry of Defence. He says, there is a serious shortage of blood plasma here in Ukraine. He has had several messages from ex-comrades and medics, asking if the Allies can help find much needed plasma for medical stations at various depths behind the 'zero' or frontline. This shortage is killing wounded fighting men and women and, all too often, the medics and ambulance drivers who try to evacuate them.A medic friend who has been saving lives in Ukraine for three years, he says, explained how she lost four medic friends and units sustained several casualties, because of the lack of medical evacuation units, ambulances at the front and plasma. During recent delays in receiving equipment and supplies, one group had to walk out...like WW1 stretcher bearers...during which episode they suffered 50% casualties from enemy drones. Including new solar powered drone variants. We desperately need to find ways to improve casualty survival rates, with basic supplies like plasma that we take for granted outside Ukraine. ----------CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction: Putin's Regime Under Scrutiny00:30 Wave of Unexplained Deaths Among Russia's Elite01:02 Case Studies of Suspicious Deaths04:24 Expert Opinions and Analysis06:23 International Ramifications and Economic Impact07:28 Recent Developments: Grounded Jets and Arrests09:55 Conclusion: The Insecurity of Putin's Regime10:15 Urgent Appeal for Blood Plasma in Ukraine----------LINKS: https://foreignpolicy.com/2025/06/03/russia-putin-ukraine-war-trump-strategy-politics/?tpcc=recirc_more_from_fp051524 https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/2061159/president-finland-putin-mistake https://theconversation.com/history-shows-that-donald-trump-is-making-a-serious-error-in-appeasing-vladimir-putin-257252 https://www.businessinsider.com/putin-copying-soviet-union-approach-bankrupted-russia-poland-minister-davos-2025-1 https://mickryan.substack.com/p/another-big-putin-mistake https://www.theglobalist.com/russia-china-united-states-europe-geopolitics-ukraine-war-donald-trump-vladimir-putin/ https://edition.cnn.com/2025/05/27/world/video/stubb-putin-strategy-live-fst052707pseg1-cnn-world-fast https://ig.ft.com/russias-war-in-ukraine-mapped/ https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainealert/putins-biggest-mistake-was-believing-ukrainians-were-really-russians/ https://www.rferl.org/a/russia-putin-fundamental-mistake-snyder/32824024.html----------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 No180 | 06-07-2025 - Today we'll dig deep into why Putin's strategy in Ukraine is failing, why pursuing the same delusion objectives using the same methods was always going to fail. We'll question n why Trump has back the wrong horse – decided to appease a loser, and what all this reveals about Putin's regime and its likely downfall. How it's collapse will rebound negatively onto Trump. And in case you're wondering, the horse with glasses in the video thumbnail is Lavrov. He is already so close to resembling a horse, very few modifications to the image were required.

In one corner, Azerbaijan's Ilhan Aliev, in the other, Russia's Vladimir Putin, two autocrats locked in an increasingly acrimonious political conflict sparked by, of all things, the arrest of some gangsters in Ekaterinburg. But it's bigger than that, and I locate the conflict in the context of Russia's receding role as regional hegemon, the politics of personalised authoritarianisms, and the agency and agendas of low-level political actors.The podcast's corporate partner and sponsor is Conducttr, which provides software for innovative and immersive crisis exercises in hybrid warfare, counter-terrorism, civil affairs and similar situations.You can also follow my blog, In Moscow's Shadows, and become one of the podcast's supporting Patrons and gain question-asking rights and access to exclusive extra materials including the (almost-) weekly Govorit Moskva news briefing right here. Support the show

Edition No178 | 04-07-2025 - Earlier this year, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson conducted an interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin—a move that drew swift condemnation, not just from pro-democracy advocates, but also from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. "He works for Putin," Zelenskyy declared in a direct rebuke, calling Carlson's rhetoric nothing less than propaganda laundering for Moscow. He has a point. Carlson has become the most vociferous, unfiltered and effective megaphone for Russian disinformation in the Western world. But outside of the US he has little impact. But how toxic is his impact within the US? And might his views have helped to inform the decision to withdraw US military support to Ukraine? .----------DESCRIPTIONThe Role of Tucker Carlson in Spreading Kremlin Propaganda | Silicon BitesIn this episode of Silicon Bites, we're examining Tucker Carlson's role in propagating Russian disinformation. Through interviews with Vladimir Putin and framing controversial narratives, Carlson has become a significant voice for Kremlin-aligned messages in the West. This deep dive explores how his rhetoric may have influenced the US's recent withdrawal of military support to Ukraine and what this means for international relations. We also discuss the broader implications of such disinformation campaigns and their impact on the global stage, particularly in the context of the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia.----------CHAPTERS00:00 Introduction and Episode Overview00:51 Tucker Carlson's Controversial Interview with Putin02:08 Debunking Carlson's Claims on Ukraine03:21 Carlson's Interview with Ukrainian Oligarch06:37 Carlson's Propaganda and Influence11:34 Trump's Involvement and Secret Talks14:47 Conclusion: The Stakes for Ukraine----------LINKS: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/zelensky-tucker-carlson-putin-russia-b2692257.htmlhttps://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/tucker-carlson-putin-zelensky-b2711134.htmlhttps://unn.ua/en/news/tucker-carlson-again-spreads-a-refuted-fake-about-the-sale-of-ukrainian-weapons-to-mexican-cartelshttps://www.foxnews.com/video/6368078173112https://www.foxnews.com/world/zelenskyy-warns-peace-talks-without-ukraine-dangerous-after-trump-claims-meetings-russia-going-wellhttps://www.foxnews.com/world/trump-no-one-else-can-end-ukraine-russia-war-us-ally-sayshttps://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-plans-meet-zelenskyy-he-looks-end-ukraine-warhttps://nypost.com/2025/02/10/us-news/trump-says-ukraine-has-essentially-agreed-to-allow-the-us-access-to-500b-in-rare-earth-minerals/https://kyivindependent.com/he-works-for-putin-zelensky-slams-tucker-carlsons-pro-russian-commentary/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/business/media/fox-red-seat-ventures.htmlhttps://lansinginstitute.org/2025/05/29/orthodoxy-and-propaganda-analyzing-tucker-carlsons-interview-with-vadim-novinsky/----------Car for Ukraine has once again joined forces with a group of influencers, creators, and news observers during this summer.

Edition No179 | 05-07-2025 - The number of incidents befalling Russia's sanctions-busting grey fleet of oil tankers is increasing. Is a pattern emerging, or are these accidents inevitable for a vast fleet of vessels that have outlived their mandated lifespans? Or is Ukraine enforcing oil sanctions in the only way that works – by physically disabling Russian ships on the high seas? Today, we will revisit the topic of oil sanctions by other means — and ask if grey fleet incidents, are covert military cover, and the strategic pain that may be inflicted on Moscow's war machine. We dig deeper into each maritime event, unpack Europe's response, and trace the illicit oil trading that is bringing in vast sums of money to power Putin's war machine.----------DESCRIPTION:Targeting Russia's Gray Fleet: An Inside Look at Covert Maritime WarfareIn this episode of Silicon Bites, we delve into the targeting of Russia's 'gray fleet'—a clandestine fleet of oil tankers sustaining Putin's economy and war efforts. We examine various incidents involving these vessels, potential acts of sabotage, and how Ukraine and Europe are responding. Detailed events such as the Eagle S incident, the Koala's hull blast, and mediteranean attacks on Sea Charm, Sea Jewel, and Grace Phem are discussed. Additionally, we analyze the strategic economic impact of these actions and the need for a united NATO and EU stance to choke off Russia's illegal oil trade support, implicating higher necessary pressure on Putin's war economy.----------CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction to Russia's Gray Fleet01:43 Incidents Involving Russian Ships04:58 European Response to the Gray Fleet06:28 Russia's Countermeasures11:33 Strategic Importance and Conclusion----------LINKS: https://www.ft.com/content/b2671301-d71f-4781-8d8d-86f7b350ff3c https://www.reuters.com/world/germany-launches-additional-measures-against-russias-shadow-fleet-2025-07-01/https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/key-points-about-russias-shadow-fleet-oil-tankers-2025-05-15/ https://apnews.com/article/5e74109e5b1d84dc73ac2592068d4689 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/may/18/eu-foreign-ministers-call-for-coordinated-action-on-russian-shadow-fleet-in-baltic-sea https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/05/20/russia-shadow-fleet-sanctions-baltic-sea/ ----------Car for Ukraine has once again joined forces with a group of influencers, creators, and news observers during this summer.

Ukraine says Russia carried out its biggest drone and missile attack on the capital yet, just two days after the US announced it was suspending the supply of some critical weapons to Kyiv, and hours after Presidents Trump and Putin spoke on the phone. We report from Kyiv. Also in the programme: President Trump's huge tax and spending bill squeaks through Congress – but will it be a vote-winner or loser at next year's midterm elections? We hear from a Republican pollster; and a security contractor for the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation tells the BBC they were instructed to shoot first and ask questions later.(IMAGE: Smoke is seen from outskirts of the city, after a Russian drone and missile strike, amid Russia's attack on Ukraine, in Kyiv, Ukraine July 4, 2025 / CREDIT: Alina Smutko / Reuters)

The legacy of the Cold War in Europe continues to impact present day events, most notably in Ukraine. In this episode I speak with author Stephan Kieninger about his new book Securing Peace in Europe - Strobe Talbott, NATO, and Russia After the Cold War. Talbott was a key figure in US President Clinton's administration playing a pivotal role in shaping US foreign policy, We talk about the NATO negotiations with Mikhail Gorbachev, his successor Boris Yeltsin and subsequently Vladimir Putin. The discussion delves into NATO's expansion and Russia's desire for a seat at the table in the new European security framework. Also covered are Russia's objectives and the misunderstandings that arose as NATO began to expand, often leading to tensions between the West and Russia. The episode also addresses the critical issue of nuclear proliferation, particularly concerning Ukraine, and the challenges faced in negotiating security guarantees that ultimately proved insufficient to deter Russia.

//The Wire//1800Z July 4, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: MIGRANT CRIMINALS INCREASINGLY IMPLEMENTING ADVANCED TACTICS DURING CRIMES. TRUMP STATES NO PROGRESS MADE WITH PUTIN ON ENDING UKRAINE WAR. NORTHCOM DEPLOYS MARINES TO FLORIDA.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------HomeFront-Washington D.C. - Yesterday President Trump spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin by phone, to discuss various issues pertaining to the Middle East and the war in Ukraine. After the phone call, President Trump stated that he was not happy with the discussion, as no progress was made on concluding the war in Ukraine.Florida: Yesterday afternoon, U.S. Northern Command (NORTHCOM) released a statement confirming that 200 U.S. Marines will be deployed to the state to provide logistical support to ICE. The press release also stated that more deployments are expected.California: A total of 7x Central and South American migrants were arrested yesterday in conjunction with a jewelry heist that occurred back in May. Local authorities state that the Bidrussian Jewelry store in Glendale was burglarized by the seven assailants, who exhibited more advanced tactics than normally presented during a standard smash-and-grab. The city's 911 service and internet connectivity was impacted due to the thieves cutting communications cables and using signal jammers during the robbery.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: The use of signal jammers is interesting in that it's a major indicator for the progression of the sophistication of crime in an area. All of the assailants were caught, so it didn't work out too well for them in the end, however this is the latest example of how criminals are learning tactics from around the world. Criminals in South Africa, for instance, are legendary for their widespread use of jammers during criminal activities, both to prevent victims from calling emergency services, but also to disable WiFi cameras and GPS tracking devices. Similarly, the cutting of communications cables has been noted as being effective due to the commonality of  climate activists cutting cables in sabotage operations throughout Europe.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground//END REPORT//

Friday Focus provides listeners with a focused, half-hour masterclass on the big issues, events and trends driving the news and current events. The show features Janice Gross Stein, the founding director of the Munk School of Global Affairs and bestselling author, in conversation with Rudyard Griffiths, Chair and moderator of the Munk Debates. Rudyard and Janice open the show unpacking the effect America's pause on military shipments will have on Ukraine's war effort. Putin has managed to drive a wedge between the US and Ukraine, thus removing the biggest obstacle to his maximalist ambitions. Has America officially walked away from Ukraine? And does Europe have the will, the weapons, and the finances to fill the void and give Ukraine a fighting chance in a war that they are losing? In the second half of the show Rudyard and Janice take stock of America on its Independence Day and agree that things do not look good from north of the border: a President who shows contempt for the courts and rule of law, and a country that is now spending more money servicing its debt than its military. Both Rudyard and Janice worry for America's short term future under this administration, but both are optimistic that American Exceptionalism can withstand this current moment and save the country from decline.

President Donald Trump has signed the "Big Beautiful Bill" into law, fulfilling multiple campaign promises as the legislation's journey concludes on Independence Day.Multiple people are reported dead in Texas amid catastrophic flash flooding, as severe thunderstorms continue to cause major problems across central and western parts of the state.Trump spoke by phone with Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy, just one day after a call with Russia's Vladimir Putin—a conversation Trump described as disappointing.

On this Fourth of July edition of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold delivers a thorough, unflinching look at Trump's massive “Big Beautiful Bill,” examining the last-minute concessions and hidden provisions that sparked frustration across the conservative base. Jon breaks down everything from the $85 million relocation of the Space Shuttle Discovery to new taxes on gamblers, commercial space launches, and Alaskan whaling expenses. He questions why Republican leadership weakened measures against illegal immigration and stripped out promised long-term defunding of Planned Parenthood. Jon also highlights Trump's surprising proposal letting farmers vouch for long-time undocumented workers, sparking a debate over priorities and enforcement. The show touches on the President's quiet call with Putin, Russia's formal recognition of the Taliban, and plans for a UFC fight on the White House lawn to kick off America's 250th birthday celebrations. Capping off the episode, Jon reflects on how patriotism and skepticism can coexist, reminding listeners it's possible to support Trump's mission while demanding accountability from Congress.

The White House gets ready for a Fourth of July celebration with their own fireworks. The party on the lawn and in the skies later today over the passage of the big, beautiful bill and who's going. Plus, President Donald Trump described his phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin as a disappointment. Why, this morning, things seem to remain the same regarding the war with Ukraine and what Trump plans to do next. Also, a former boxing champ now faces deportation after losing a boxing match to Jake Paul last week, and he is likely to be sent back home. Why the son of Julio Cesar Chavez is getting kicked out of the United States.

This week, David Plotz and guest hosts Will Saletan and Catherine Rampell discuss what the Senate's regressive budget bill will do to the health of America, whether there is space left for non-Trump conservatives in American politics, and how Paramount's settlement of Trump's meritless lawsuit signifies the fall of another guardrail against an authoritarian president.
