Podcast appearances and mentions of Vladimir Putin

Eric and Eliot lament the firing of 200 Foreign Service officers and the recent large-scale exodus of senior diplomats from public service. They discuss the impact of the Trump Administration's diplomatic malpractice including the handling of Operation Freedom and their own disagreements about it. They assess the likely costs of ensuring Iran is not left in control of the Strait of Hormuz and the inevitable long-term future US presence in the Persian Gulf. They also consider the impact of the UK local elections and the collapse of support for Keir Starmer's Labour Party. Finally, they address the US troop withdrawals from Germany and Vladimir Putin's worsening political, economic, and personal situation.Eric & Frank Miller on Withdrawing From Germany:https://www.thebulwark.com/p/withdrawing-troops-from-germany-is-own-goal-trump-merz-natoSecretary Hegseth's Defense Budget Video:https://x.com/SecWar/status/2052396775797891417?s=20Shield of the Republic is a Bulwark podcast co-sponsored by the Miller Center of Public Affairs at the University of Virginia.

Herzlich willkommen zu Ihrem morgendlichen Newsletter! Trump wartet: Wie reagiert der Iran auf den US-Vorschlag? / Putin in Moskau: „Unsere Sache ist gerecht“ - Waffenruhe bis zum 11. Mai US-Präsident Donald Trump präsentiert sich derzeit auf der weltpolitischen Bühne als Krisenmanager. Die Entwicklungen in zwei gefährlichen Konflikten tragen seine Handschrift. Im Nahen Osten wartet Trump auf eine Antwort Teherans auf seinen 14-Punkte-Plan, der 30-tägige Friedensverhandlungen im Iran-Krieg einleiten soll. Zeitgleich vermittelte er eine Waffenruhe bis zum 11. Mai, wodurch Russland den Tag des Sieges ungestört begehen konnte. Zwar trat Wladimir Putin in seiner Rede siegessicher auf und Kiew sowie Moskau werfen sich Verstöße gegen die Feuerpause vor, doch es gibt Hoffnung. Laut Umfragen befürwortet eine Mehrheit der Russen Verhandlungen, auch ein Gefangenaustausch scheint möglich. Ob Trumps Vorstöße echten Frieden bringen oder nur kurze Pausen in erbitterten Kriegen sind, wird sich in Kürze zeigen.

Izrazil je tudi omejeno pripravljenost na mehčanje odnosov z Zahodom, ob tem pa ponovil stare očitke glede podpore Ukrajini.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said the war in Ukraine was nearing an end on the first day of a United States-brokered ceasefire, despite mutual accusations of violations. Editor of New Voice of Ukraine Euan McDonald told Mike Hosking, "Putin makes these statements occasionally but, what we haven't seen really, is any major change in the situation. "So there's not really any evidence that the war could be coming to an end. In fact, it actually seems to be escalating a bit." LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

At 93, Paul Biya is the oldest head of state in the world. In June he will have been the leader of Cameroon for 44 years and is currently serving his eighth consecutive term. It was announced in April that for the first time in Biya's leadership, the position of vice-president would be created in the country. This new post has drawn attention to the lack of certainty within Cameroon over who will take over from Paul Biya once he is no longer in office. BBC Africa's Paul Njie is from Cameroon himself and has been looking into the story. A Thai drag performer has won the latest series of the television show RuPaul's Drag Race: UK versus The World. Gawdland is the first Thai winner of the all-star series and also the first non-native English speaker to take the title. Her triumph took some by surprise, but for fans of Drag Race, she's seen as a trailblazer for East Asian drag queens. Panisa Aemocha of BBC Thai explains what makes Gawdland such a stand-out performer. Like anyone forced to leave their home country against their will, Russians who've sought asylum abroad face a variety of painful realities. Besides homesickness and the challenges of adapting to a new country, they also cannot safely return home to visit loved ones. For many years, exiled Russians could reunite with Russian family and friends in a wide variety of European and other countries, including the Baltic states. But as the rift between Russia and the rest of Europe deepend in the wake of the war in Ukraine, visa restrictions changed, leaving Russians with only a small handful of countries in which they could meet people from home. Recently, an exiled Russian man in his twenties, Sasha, planned and filmed a unique reunion with Russian friends. BBC Russian's Tatiana Kovtun tells Sasha's story and discusses the online response.

Kate Adie introduces stories on Vladimir Putin's declining popularity, peace protests in Japan, Serbia's anti-corruption anger, and how Canadian robots are patrolling the Arctic.The Kremlin has recently increased security measures around President Vladimir Putin after a string of assassinations of top Russian military figures. This comes as the president has retreated from public view, as the economic impact of Russia's war in Ukraine continues to bite. Steve Rosenberg observes the shift in the country's moodJapan has taken a major step away from its post-war pacifist stance, lifting long-standing restrictions on arms exports. The government says it's a necessary step in an increasingly tense region - but it's raising alarm and in recent weeks there have been protests in major cities across the country. Kurumi Mori reports from Tokyo.Serbia has also been experiencing a series of protests over the past year – fuelled by anger over alleged government corruption. They began in November 2024 following the collapse of a train station roof in the northern city of Novi Sad, which killed 16 people. Jill McGivering has been to Belgrade to meet a woman whose tragic loss put her at the centre of the political crisis.Governments around the world are increasingly investing in military robots, as the nature of modern warfare evolves.

No tanks, great camera work. Victory Day is supposed to be Russia's most unshakeable story, the moment when the state proves its strength, its allies, and its confidence on Red Square. Yet watching this year's parade, I can't escape the sense that the symbolism is working harder than the reality: fewer troops, no heavy hardware in Moscow, and security concerns hanging over the whole performance. In the rest of the podcast, I look at a leaked report on spinning peace and wonder if it part of an attempt to lobby Putin indirectly, the appointment of a new commander of Aerospace Forces, Colonel General Chaiko, and that (to me, pretty dodgy) 'European intelligence report' that has caused such a storm. The bigger point is simple and uncomfortable: disinformation and psychological warfare are part of how this conflict is fought, and they thrive on our appetite for certainty.

In this episode of Hold Your Fire!, Richard is joined by Olga Oliker, Crisis Group's European Security director, to discuss the latest developments in Ukraine, more than four years into full-scale war with Russia. They talk about the mood in Kyiv, recent battlefield dynamics and how Ukraine's military continues to adapt as the war grinds on. They discuss the fallout from the war in the Gulf, including pressure on global missile interceptor stocks and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's diplomatic outreach to Gulf Arab states. They also unpack domestic politics in Ukraine and Russia, including growing criticism of President Vladimir Putin from nationalist circles and Moscow's anxiety around Victory Day. They also look at Putin's call for a ceasefire, seemingly motivated by fear that Ukrainian strikes will disrupt Victory Day celebrations. For more, check out our Ukraine page. Hosted on Acast.

On this episode of STRAT, retired Marine intelligence officer Hal Kempfer examines why Russia's much-anticipated Spring offensive is faltering and why Moscow may be in a far weaker position than many analysts realize. The discussion explores mounting Russian casualties, recruiting failures, growing unrest inside Russia, and signs of increasing paranoia surrounding Vladimir Putin and the Kremlin leadership. The episode also highlights Ukraine's expanding military innovation, including advanced drone warfare, laser counter-drone systems, long-range strikes on Russian logistics, and growing influence in international defense markets. Beyond the battlefield, the conversation addresses Russia's reported military cooperation with Iran, including drone technology transfers allegedly linked to attacks on American personnel in the Middle East. This strategic assessment provides a deeper look at the shifting balance of power in Ukraine and the broader geopolitical consequences emerging from the conflict.Takeaways:Russia's military position appears significantly weaker than one year ago.Russian troop losses and recruiting problems are creating sustainability concerns.Putin's Victory Day parade reflected growing shortages of military equipment.Reports suggest increasing paranoia and instability within the Kremlin leadership.Ukraine is becoming a global leader in drone warfare and counter-drone defense.Ukrainian long-range drone strikes are disrupting Russian logistics and oil exports.Russian oil revenues may be suffering severe declines from repeated infrastructure attacks.Russia's reported drone support for Iran raises concerns about attacks targeting Americans.#STRATPodcast #HalKempfer #MutualBroadcastingSystem #StrategicRiskAnalysis #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraineWar #Putin #DroneWarfare #MilitaryAnalysis #Geopolitics #NationalSecurity #DefenseNews #Ukraine #Russia #Iran #MiddleEast #GlobalSecurity #MilitaryStrategy #IntelligenceAnalysis #CurrentEvents

VOV1 - Nga và Ukraine đã xác nhận chấp nhận đề xuất ngừng bắn kéo dài 3 ngày do Mỹ làm trung gian. Giới quan sát nhận định dù chỉ mang tính tạm thời, thỏa thuận lần này cho thấy các kênh đối thoại ngoại giao vẫn đang được duy trì giữa lúc xung đột tiếp tục gây tổn thất nặng nề cho cả hai phía.Thông báo được Tổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump đưa ra ngày 8/5 trên mạng xã hội Truth Social. Theo ông Trump, lệnh ngừng bắn sẽ có hiệu lực từ ngày 9 đến 11/5 và bao gồm việc đình chỉ các hoạt động quân sự cũng như trao đổi 1 nghìn tù binh từ mỗi bên.Nhà lãnh đạo Mỹ cho biết đề xuất này do chính ông trực tiếp đưa ra và đã nhận được sự đồng thuận từ Tổng thống Nga Vladimir Putin và Tổng thống Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky.Phát biểu với báo giới sau đó, ông Trump bày tỏ hy vọng lệnh ngừng bắn có thể được kéo dài hơn và mở đường cho một giải pháp lâu dài nhằm chấm dứt xung đột:“Điều đó hoàn toàn có thể xảy ra. Tôi muốn thấy cuộc chiến này chấm dứt. Đây là điều tồi tệ nhất kể từ Thế chiến thứ hai xét về sinh mạng. Hai mươi lăm nghìn binh sĩ trẻ thiệt mạng mỗi tháng. Thật điên rồ. Vì vậy, việc kéo dài lệnh ngừng bắn là điều hoàn toàn có thể. Tôi đã đưa ra đề nghị đó và Tổng thống Putin đã đồng ý. Tổng thống Zelensky cũng đồng ý. Hai bên cũng đồng ý trao trả 1.000 tù binh mỗi bên gần như ngay lập tức.”Ngay sau tuyên bố của Tổng thống Trump, Điện Kremlin đã xác nhận thông tin và hoan nghênh sáng kiến do Mỹ đề xuất. Trợ lý Điện Kremlin Yuri Ushakov cho biết Moskva chấp nhận lệnh ngừng bắn để tạo điều kiện cho hoạt động trao đổi tù binh với Ukraine. “Phía Nga chấp nhận đề xuất của Tổng thống Hoa Kỳ Donald Trump về một lệnh ngừng bắn nhằm tạo điều kiện cho việc trao đổi tù binh chiến tranh giữa Nga và Ukraine. Điểm mấu chốt đã được thống nhất là trong thời gian ngừng bắn từ ngày 9 đến ngày 11/5 sẽ tiến hành cuộc trao đổi tù binh với số lượng 1.000 người từ mỗi bên. Chúng tôi hoan nghênh sáng kiến này.”Về phía Ukraine, Tổng thống Volodymyr Zelensky cũng xác nhận nước này sẽ tham gia lệnh ngừng bắn và trao đổi tù binh theo tỷ lệ 1.000 đổi 1.000. Nhà lãnh đạo Ukraine cho biết ưu tiên hàng đầu của Ukraine vẫn là giải quyết các vấn đề nhân đạo, đặc biệt là đưa các binh sĩ bị bắt trở về nước. Ông Zelensky cũng đồng thời tuyên bố Ukraine sẽ không nhắm mục tiêu vào Quảng trường Đỏ tại Moskva trong thời gian Nga tổ chức lễ duyệt binh kỷ niệm Ngày Chiến thắng 9/5.Theo truyền thông quốc tế, việc cả Nga và Ukraine cùng công khai xác nhận thỏa thuận do Mỹ làm trung gian được xem là bước tiến ngoại giao hiếm hoi sau nhiều vòng tiếp xúc không đạt kết quả rõ rệt. Một số chuyên gia nhận định thỏa thuận ngừng bắn ngắn hạn lần này có thể đóng vai trò như phép thử ban đầu nhằm đánh giá thiện chí của các bên trước khả năng xúc tiến các cuộc đàm phán sâu rộng hơn.Tuy nhiên, giới phân tích cũng thận trọng cho rằng triển vọng duy trì hòa hoãn vẫn còn mong manh, bởi các lệnh ngừng bắn trước đây giữa Nga và Ukraine từng nhiều lần nhanh chóng đổ vỡ do các cáo buộc vi phạm từ cả hai phía. Trong bối cảnh giao tranh vẫn diễn ra tại nhiều khu vực tiền tuyến, hiệu quả thực tế của thỏa thuận lần này sẽ phụ thuộc lớn vào mức độ tuân thủ cam kết và vai trò thúc đẩy đối thoại của Mỹ trong thời gian tới./.Hồng Nhung/VOV1Ảnh minh họa: Reuters

Mea Culpa welcomes back our good friend Norm Eisen. There's nothing going on in politics today that Eisen doesn't have an educated opinion about. Eisen is a CNN Legal Analyst.  And the founder and executive chair of “States United Democracy Center”, a nonpartisan organization advancing free, fair, and secure elections. Eisen served as special counsel to President Barack Obama on ethics. In that role, he was dubbed “Mr. No” and the “Ethics Czar” because he's well known for his strict anti-corruption approach to governance. Eisen is also active with the Brookings Institute and other groups working to expose the myriad of ways Trump and others like him broke the law and attempted to overturn the 2020 election. Eisen is also working with the Brookings Institute to help Ukraine recover and thrive once Putin's war has ended. So, let's go now to my conversation with Norm Eisen. Michael and Morm really dug into the indictment and all the other Trump cases on the horizon.

Colonel Douglas Macgregor joins the show to tell Jimmy that a new phase of the Iran war is "definitely going to happen" within days, as Iran has "instructed everybody to go below ground and hide out" and the US is bombing empty buildings — to which Iran would respond asymmetrically by destroying Gulf States' power grids and desalination plants, causing mass migration and a global depression.  He notes that after Trump's "Project Freedom" failed when Iran attacked a French-owned cargo ship attempting the US-designated route, Trump suspended the operation and is now threatening a "much higher level and intensity" of bombing if Iran doesn't agree to terms. Meanwhile, Jimmy points out that Marco Rubio's statement that the goal is to get the strait "back to the way it was" means the US had to start a war so we could go back to the way things were before we started the war. Macgregor argues that Trump's advisers are too afraid to tell him the truth because "he blows up" and "doesn't like facts that get in the way of his preferences," and that the Navy has already been forced to retreat 300-400 miles offshore because Iran's hypersonic missiles make close-in naval power impossible. He concludes that even if a deal is signed, US credibility is destroyed and "we're not going to recover from this very quickly," with a recession already underway that could turn into a decade-long depression if bombing resumes. Plus segments on mass layoffs at Ben Shapiro's Daily Wire, Putin making a major move to crush the Petrodollar and Marco Rubio begging the Chinese to save the global economy.

SCHEDULE OF THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 5-7-2026.1945 BERLIN.Ian Buruma discusses his book Stay Alive, focusing on his father Leo's 1943 decision to enter mandatory labor in a Berlin factory to protect his parents from Nazi retaliation. The narrative explores Berlin's transition from a striving capital into a city facing bombings, malnutrition, and lice. (1/16)Ian Buruma describes Joseph Goebbels as a master propagandist who used entertainment to distract Berliners from wartime horrors. He explains "unpolitical" as a psychological justification for ignoring Nazi atrocities. The segment also details the complex Nuremberg racial laws used to systematically categorize and persecute Jewish populations. (2/16)Ian Buruma defines the wartime greeting "Stay Alive" and profiles resistors like von Moltke. He discusses jazz guitarist Coco Schumann, who survived Auschwitz by playing in a band while others were executed. The segment also covers the Wannsee Conference, where the "final solution" was organized. (3/16)Ian Buruma details the "U-boats," young Jews living clandestine lives in Berlin without legal papers. He describes the city's descent into lawlessness following the defeat at Stalingrad. Survival became transactional, relying on the goodwill or opportunism of strangers in a society where Hitler was the law. (4/16)Ian Buruma examines the failure of strategic bombing to break civilian morale, which instead fostered solidarity. He recounts his father's letters from a Berlin labor barracks, describing the harsh conditions of malnutrition and vermin. He also highlights diaries showing how individuals navigated the criminal regime. (5/16)Ian Buruma discusses the moral dilemmas of survival, focusing on Stella Kübler, who betrayed other Jews to save her parents from Auschwitz. He asserts that information about the Holocaust was widely available via the BBC and soldiers' letters, meaning that for many Berliners, ignorance was a choice. (6/16)Ian Buruma recounts the final months of the war, dominated by Goebbels' "death cult" propaganda and the film Colberg. He describes the trial of resistor von Moltke, who stood up to the sadistic judge Roland Freisler, and the eventual bombing of the court that killed the judge. (7/16)Ian Buruma details the Soviet occupation of Berlin, characterized by mass looting and rape. He tracks the fates of his book's protagonists: his father Leo narrowly escaped execution by a Russian soldier, while resistance leader Borchardtwas tragically killed by a stray shot after liberation. (8/16)Anatol Lieven analyzes China's diplomatic strategy, noting Beijing's desire for a Trump-Xi summit despite Middle Eastern conflicts. China aims to manage trade tariffs and stabilize Taiwan relations, believing that U.S. involvement in external wars may ultimately weaken American alliances in Asia and strengthen China's regional standing. (9/16)Anatol Lieven analyzes reports of Vladimir Putin operating from bunkers to avoid precision strikes. He discusses Ukraine's emergence as a "drone war startup" and the resulting economic strain. Lieven notes that while the frontline remains frozen, Russian public support for the conflict is beginning to crumble. (10/16)Rick Fisher reveals China's plans to double the size of the Tiangong space station by 2030. He warns of its military dual-use potential, suggesting the station and Shuntan telescope could serve as orbital "battle stations" for surveillance or strikes, providing China with a significant new strategic deterrent. (11/16)Rick Fisher explores the militarization of the Moon, citing Chinese interest in lunar radar and "moon hoppers" for resource discovery. He describes a technological competition with the U.S. involving nuclear power plants, lasers, and satellite constellations intended for both peaceful research and potential offensive or defensive combat. (12/16)Veronique de Rugy critiques government-matched savings plans like the "Trump IRA." She argues these technocratic fixes add to the national debt without addressing core tax code flaws. She highlights how high penalties for early withdrawals and payroll taxes effectively discourage lower-income workers from saving for the future. (13/16)Jim McTague examines the AI boom, noting the high valuation of DeepSeek and its use of black-market chips. He discusses a lawsuit against Character AI for unlicensed medical advice and the economic impact of data centers, which provide local tax revenue but consume significant real estate. (14/16)Ken Croswell describes the Milky Way's structure as a barred spiral galaxy. He explains that the central bar exerts massive gravitational force. This gravity has trapped billions of "Trojan stars" into two vast whirlpools, similar to how Jupiter's gravity captures Trojan asteroids in its orbit. (15/16)Ken Croswell details the discovery of the "Hercules stream," stars resonating with the galaxy's central bar. He notes that as the bar's rotation slows, there is a 20% chance Earth's solar system will join this "exclusive club" of Trojan stars in two billion years, changing our galactic position. (16/16)

Anatol Lieven analyzes reports of Vladimir Putin operating from bunkers to avoid precision strikes. He discusses Ukraine's emergence as a "drone war startup" and the resulting economic strain. Lieven notes that while the frontline remains frozen, Russian public support for the conflict is beginning to crumble. (10/16)1938 HITLERJUGEND

Russia's annual Victory Day Parade this weekend is expected to lack the usual show of ballistic missiles and tanks. Meanwhile, a leaked security brief claims that President Vladimir Putin has tightened his personal security and faces increased threats of assassination and coup attempts. Also, according to a new report by the NGO Mercy Corps, only 4% of Gaza's farmlands remain accessible to its residents for farming, with the rest being damaged in war or under Israeli control. And, Sir David Attenborough, who has documented the natural world and the creatures in it for decades, turns 100.

Before invasions of Ukraine and Crimea and various “resets” of America's diplomatic approach toward the Kremlin, there was the “Boris and Bill Show” – two chummy and newly-installed presidents meeting multiple times at the tail-end of the 20th Century with the shared goal of bringing Russia into a post-Cold War world order as a peaceful, prosperous (and non-proliferating) society. Rose Gottemoeller, a Hoover Institution research fellow and former Clinton and Obama administration national security aide, sets the record straight on the Clinton-Yeltsin summits, what she learned as the first American woman to lead nuclear arms talks, why Vladimir Putin went from offering help in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks to seeing America as a threat Russia's security, and the challenges of serving as NATO's deputy secretary general during the first Trump presidency. It's all chronicled in her new book, Security Through Cooperation: Space, Nuclear Weapons, and US-Russia Relations after the Cold War, a must-read for history buffs and students of the enigma that is Putin and the Russian mindset. 

Today, Morgan, Les, John, and Matt take stock of a Russia that looks increasingly beleaguered on multiple fronts. With Victory Day tomorrow, Putin is reportedly anxious enough to have called Trump requesting a ceasefire — due to Ukrainian threats to Moscow, military vehicles and troops for the parade are expected to be scaled back, and Putin has ordered an internet blackout. Meanwhile, Russian casualties in Ukraine may now exceed one million, recruits are dying faster than they can be replaced, and Moscow's sphere of influence is contracting from Syria to Mali to Venezuela.Is Putin's obsession with the Victory Day spectacle a sign that his grip on power is slipping? How has Ukraine managed to turn the window created by Middle East instability into new weapons deals, Gulf investment, and fresh diplomatic momentum? With coup rumors circulating and opposition figures being targeted, how real is the threat to Putin's hold on the Kremlin?

Conversations on Groong - May 8, 2026In this episode of Conversations on Groong, Dr. Anatol Lieven joins us to examine Russia's place in a rapidly shifting global order. The discussion looks at the war in Ukraine, the state of Russia-EU relations after Viktor Orbán's political defeat, and the uncertain trajectory of the war on Iran, including whether any real diplomatic offramp still exists. They also explore whether Russia's relationship with Iran is truly strategic or mainly transactional, how China fits into the wider balance of power, and what all of this means for the South Caucasus, Armenia's current path under Pashinyan, and Azerbaijan's ambitions to turn wartime leverage into lasting regional influence.TopicsRussia, Iran, Europe, multipolar orderUkraine war and Russia-West tensionsIran war and diplomatic offrampsArmenia, TRIPP, South CaucasusGuest: Anatol LievenHosts:Hovik ManucharyanAsbed BedrossianEpisode 541 | Recorded: May 5, 2026SHOW NOTES: https://podcasts.groong.org/541VIDEO: https://youtu.be/bnwKcnMSZTk#AnatolLieven #Russia #Iran #Europe #UkraineWar #SouthCaucasusSubscribe and follow us everywhere you are: linktr.ee/groong

In this special bonus show, Gaslit Nation reminds you that Hitler and Trump rose to power in very similar ways, and why we must stay grounded in that historical truth. The fate of the world literally depends on it. The Holocaust and World War II happened, because people didn't want to believe it would be so bad. Normalcy bias is a dangerous coping mechanism.  As the world marks the 81st anniversary of Victory in Europe Day, with Putin, like Hitler, hiding in his bunker, reports of his hands shaking, of parades canceled or scaled back across Russia–it's a reminder that we can stand up to fascism, when we align our will with a higher purpose, like Ukraine and its allies.  To celebrate the power of remembering, and Andrea's birthday (caaaaake!), we're opening this Monday's Gaslit Nation Salon at 4pm E.T. with a reading of the first 10 pages of her screenplay, about the power of forbidden love in a time of fascism. To join us, look out for the Zoom link posted Monday morning on Patreon. This week's bonus show, available in full for our subscribers at the Truth-teller ($5/month) level and higher, we continue on with Gal Beckerman about his new book How to Be a Dissident.

Shortages in refined products like jet fuel and diesel are particularly critical.12/16: Michael Toth attributes California's high energy costs to political ideology rather than global events. These "self-inflicted wounds" have caused a middle-class exodus and potential shortages of materials like asphalt.13/16: Simon Constable reviews surging commodity prices and the threat of famine in North Africa. He also discusses UK local elections, framing them as a protest vote against Keir Starmer's leadership.14/16: Simon Constable analyzes potential Labour Party leaders Andy Burnham and Angela Rayner.

Ben and Tommy break down another chaotic week in foreign policy full of bad ideas and worse outcomes. Trump rolls out—and just as quickly unrolls—a new Pentagon plan—dubbed “Project Freedom”—to “guide” ships through the Strait of Hormuz, leaked intelligence reports show that the war has not changed Iran's nuclear timeline, and polling confirms that the war has become a political disaster for Trump. They also share a rare, firsthand account from a teacher in Iran about living under the regime's internet blackout and surveillance state, and discuss how the war has derailed Trump's upcoming trip to China. Then they turn to the humanitarian catastrophes unfolding in Lebanon and Gaza, where so-called ceasefires have not stopped the killing, rodent infestations are causing infant deaths, and reconstruction is fantasy. They also check in on the war in Ukraine, from the staggering death toll to reports that Putin has retreated into his bunker because he fears for his life, and how online dissent from a Russian influencer finally broke through. Finally, Tommy speaks to Rep. Jason Crow about Iran, why he wants to get Pete Hegseth fired, and what troop reductions in Germany will mean for our relationship with Europe.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.
