Just as Putin launched the largest drone assault of the war, President Trump overruled an order from the Pentagon that had halted the delivery of munitions to Ukraine. And despite what pundits say, new polling says his base isn't mad about it. Cliff May is joined by Carrie Filipetti of the Vandenberg Coalition to break down its polling data that shows most of Trump's base back peace through strength, see Russia and Iran as serious threats, support sanctions, and trust Trump to act decisively when force is needed. As it turns out, so-called "America First" voters want America to lead.
Today's Smerconish.com Daily Poll asks: “Russia vs. Ukraine: Is this the beginning of the end—or the end of the beginning?” Michael dives into this critical moment in the war, examining Trump's evolving position on arming Ukraine, the political risks he's navigating, and what Putin's long game might really be. From shifting GOP views to NATO backchannels, it's a moment that may redefine the conflict. Plus, a quick look back at yesterday's hot-button poll on the $1000 Trump Accounts for babies.

DESCRIPTION: Insights from Ukrainian Perspective: Russian Propaganda, Military Strategy, and the FutureIn this episode, the host is joined by Operator Starkey, a former Ukrainian military veteran, to discuss various topics including his experiences with Russian propaganda, the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the essential role of volunteers and civic society in Ukraine's defense. The conversation covers the underestimated resilience of Ukraine, the hubris of the Russian regime, and how Russia's internal issues and mismanagement may lead to its unraveling. Starkey also addresses how systemic corruption and a culture of fear in Russia affect both its governance and military capabilities. The discussion extends to the importance of Western support for Ukraine and strategies for enhancing communication and information warfare against Russian disinformation.----------Today I'm speaking with Operator Starsky, a former Ukrainian National Guardian, blogger, and inspiration for everyone who is following the war, and supporting a Ukrainian victory.

Former U.S. Ambassador to NATO Kurt Volker didn't mince words—Putin has effectively given U.S. Presient Donald Trump “the middle finger,” rejecting every offer of peace Trump has put on the table. From lifting sanctions to restoring Russia's global status, Trump tried to cut a deal. But Putin isn't interested. He's doubling down—escalating attacks on Ukraine, brushing off diplomacy, and chasing an imperial legacy soaked in blood. With over 100,000 Russian troops dead this year alone, even Putin's allies—Iran, North Korea, and China—are starting to question his grip. This war isn't just grinding on—it's accelerating toward a geopolitical rupture.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Pasa el tiempo y Donald Trump sigue sin solucionar, como prometió antes de llegar a la Casa Blanca, la guerra de Ucrania. El líder estadounidense, que se jactó de poder poner fín a la invasión rusa en 24h y de su buena relación con Vladimir Putin, parece ahora estar cayendo en la cuenta de que el presidente ruso no tiene intención alguna de detener sus operaciones militares en territorio ucraniano.Hablaremos hoy también de un encuentro entre los responsables de la diplomacia de los EEUU y China en el marco de una reunión de la ASEAN.Tendremos como invitado al interprete gazatí Kayed Hammad, que ha logrado recientemente salir de Gaza. Nos contará su experiencia. Además, recordaremos la masacre de Sbrenica con un reportaje y haremos un breve repaso a otras noticias del día.Escuchar audio
It's been a grim, record-breaking week for Ukraine, with Russia unleashing an unprecedented wave of missiles and drones, including decoys to overwhelm air defences. Amid the chaos, Trump seemed equally thrown—confused by Putin, then reversing course to reinstate military aid to Kyiv after pausing it just last week. Washington is now dangling sanctions as the carrot turns to stick in ceasefire efforts. Meanwhile, it's been pageantry over politics as the Macrons embarked on a three-day state visit to the UK. Kicking off with cocktails at Windsor Castle—“The Entente”, a symbolic mix of British gin and French pastis—the visit marked a reset in post-Brexit ties. There were toasts with the King and Keir, a nuclear cooperation deal, and a plan to stop migrant crossings. Macron couldn't resist a little “I told you so” on Brexit. And in tech: Elon Musk's AI chatbot Grok sparked outrage after it began imitating Hitler and promoting anti-Semitic views. Just days after Musk hailed its progress, Grok called itself “MechaHitler.” Musk blamed manipulation and removed the posts. The fallout continued with the sudden resignation of X CEO Linda Yaccarino—met with a cold, two-line farewell.
Hva skjer i Russland akkurat nå – og hvordan ble det slik? Aftenpostens Moskva-korrespondent Per Kristian Aale tar oss med fra pannekakefester og vodkaøkonomi på 90-tallet, til brutal krig, frykt og stillhet i Putins 2025-Russland.

Herzlich willkommen zu Ihrem morgendlichen Newsletter! Ob das Verfahren gegen Michael Ballweg eingestellt wird, fragen wir in unserem ersten Beitrag. Eine Probeberechnung des Finanzamtes spricht dafür. In unserem zweiten Artikel zeigt sich Trump enttäuscht von Putin und droht mit Zöllen in Höhe von 500 Prozent. Schließlich beschäftigen wir uns mit der weltweiten Flüchtlingsproblematik anhand aktueller Beispiele aus dem Iran und Frankreich.
Chrissy Stroop, a leading voice in the #Exvangelical movement, brings historical insight and personal experience to a conversation that traces the Christian right's rise to power from the Reagan era to its disturbing alignment with Russian authoritarianism today. This week's bonus show explores how evangelical leaders used strategic alliances, particularly the anti-abortion movement, to unite conservative Christians and Catholics under a single political banner. Stroop explains how this coalition gained momentum during Reagan's presidency and has since embedded itself deeply into U.S. policymaking. Particularly troubling is the influence of Christian nationalists on education through the deregulation of homeschooling, often leaving children vulnerable due to lack of oversight. Stroop also highlights how Christian nationalism, once cloaked in calls for "religious freedom," now openly embraces authoritarian tactics. The alignment with Vladimir Putin's regime, admired by many on the far right, underscores a global trend toward anti-democratic ideologies under the guise of defending “traditional values.” Yet, amidst the bleak realities, Stroop points to reasons for hope. Grassroots activism is on the rise, as communities across the country push back against oppressive legislation and public protests grow more frequent. Organizers are working tirelessly to safeguard democracy and protect civil liberties, especially for marginalized groups targeted by these far-right movements. The episode is a sobering reminder of how deeply Christian nationalism is embedded in American history, but also a call to action. As this bonus show emphasizes, defending democracy requires vigilance, public engagement, and an unwavering commitment to truth. EVENTS AT GASLIT NATION: NEW DATE!

It appears to be dawning on President Trump that he will not be ending the Russia-Ukraine war in one day, as he promised during the campaign. Trump's frustration at Vladimir Putin is rising: This week he accused Putin of hitting him with “bullshit,” and even admitted Putin's word to him is “meaningless.” This comes as it's now being reported that Putin is escalating the war against Ukraine, and that he's brushing aside Trump's anger about it. Add it all up and Trump is plainly humiliated, realizing that Putin is laughing off his demand for “peace.” We talked to Mona Charen, policy editor at The Bulwark, who writes well about the Trumpified GOP's embrace of Putin. She explains how Putin has long played Trump, why Putin feels free to humiliate him, and what the various scenarios ahead look like. Listen to this episode here. Learn more about your ad choices.

President Donald Trump voiced sharp criticism of Russian President Vladimir Putin this week saying that the Russian leader's words are "meaningless." Shipments of arms to Ukraine had been halted by the Pentagon but then resumed by orders of the White House. Meanwhile, Senator Lindsey Graham has suggested tough sanctions be placed on Russia and even the countries that buy energy from Moscow. Fox's John Saucier speaks to (Ret.) Rear Admiral Mark Montgomery, senior director of the Center on Cyber and Technology Innovation for the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, who says the United States needs to take a three pronged approach of sanctions and an uptick in defensive and offensive weapons deliveries to Ukraine to put real pressure on Putin to end this war.

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.

Today, Secretary of State Marco Rubio will meet with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Malaysia, where the ASEAN Foreign Ministers summit is underway. On its surface, the Rubio-Lavrov meeting isn't necessarily notable. But it comes as a seismic shift is underway in President Donald Trump's approach to Russia and Ukraine — and as he seems to have finally reached the limit of his patience with Russian President Vladimir Putin. As Russia continues to attack Ukraine, Putin is putting Trump's reputation as an expert negotiator — and his desire for a Nobel Peace Prize — on the line. Playbook author Jack Blanchard and chief Playbook correspondent Dasha Burns discuss how this could play out, and what it means for the future of Ukraine.
US President Donald Trump has threatened heavy tariffs on BRICS, claiming the organization is "dead", but it is actually growing in size and influence. 10 members and 10 partners participated in the 2025 BRICS summit in Brazil, where they discussed plans for dedollarization, trade and investment in national currencies, and how to create a more multipolar global order. Ben Norton explains.

Peter Rough, Director of the Hudson Institute's Center on Europe and Eurasia, joins Michael to discuss why time may be running out for Russia in its war on Ukraine. He argues that tighter international sanctions enforcement and increased U.S. weapons and intelligence support could begin to squeeze the Kremlin as early as late this year, as the economic costs of the war mount. This comes as the dog days of summer in Ukraine wear on without any fundamental shifts in the conflict.
Greg Dworkin heard from a friend that they have a friend whose other friend says that Vladimir Putin doesn't want to go out with Donald Trump anymore. Or maybe vice versa. Anyway, somebody is gonna be upset over the resumption of arms shipments to Ukraine. Could be Trump. Certainly will be Putin. Might also be Hegseth! The eyes of Texas (and everywhere else) are still upon “Flash Flood Alley,” so they'll have to get their story straight (and tell it to the judge) about whether they do or don't have an emergency alert system, and if so, whether they did or didn't use it. They certainly should have one. After all, they're now acknowledging that extreme weather incidents are human-caused. Sort of. The national obsession over the New York City mayoral election continues, mostly because Zohran Mamdani's sizeable lead in the polls continues. The Adams camp is making some… unusual choices for managing the campaign. Or at least, someone is making them for them. Anyway, the political scientists have a heads up for you, if you've been wondering where the winning coalition would come from. Meanwhile, Donald Trump has opened up (even) dumb(er) new frontiers in his “Trade Wars,” this time with the largest coffee producer in the world and second-most-populous country in the Western Hemisphere: Brazil. And they don't like it. But they are also not as dumb, as anyone can plainly see. Dumber still, but even more frightening, Trump continues to use vast federal powers to prosecute his personal gripes. We heard the other day about his insistence that “investigations” be opened into former FBI Director James Comey and former CIA Director John Brennan. Now we learn that… for some strange reason… the Secret Service decided to tail Comey on his way back from his beach vacation, then haul him in for questioning over that “86 47” message he wrote out in seashells. And it looks like they have the same and more planned for Chris Wray, too. You know, the FBI Director Trump picked after he fired Comey.
Edition No184 | 10-07-2025 - Putin is under pressure. We are seeing a regime fraying from the inside. This episode digs deeper into three seismic trends:1. The widening cohesion cracks at the top of the Kremlin.2. A spate of mysterious 'accidents' among high-ranking officials.3. Signs of an approaching summer offensive, possibly fueled by forced mobilization—even in Russia's major cities.The chaos in the Kremlin is accelerating so buckle up for a wild ride. Putin will fall, not necessarily when he is materially weakest, but if he stumbles and losing the will to rule. That could come from being too paranoid and taking out too many officials, and even loyalists. Or could come from making too many concessions to other officials. Let's see how this plays out. ----------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. ----------DESCRIPTION:Regime Fractures: The Unraveling of Putin's PowerIn this episode of Silicon Bites, we explore the growing fragility within Putin's regime. We begin by thanking our supporters who make our operations and upcoming events in Kiev and Odessa possible. The discussion then delves into three major trends indicating regime cracks: elite dissatisfaction, mysterious deaths of high-ranking officials, and preparations for a large-scale military mobilization. The analysis explores the potential collapse of Putin's regime, driven by internal paranoia and forced decisions. We provide historical and contemporary examples of elite defections, mysterious deaths, and the ongoing strain caused by military and economic pressures. The episode calls for the West to take decisive action by increasing sanctions, supporting Ukraine, and leveraging Russian assets to counteract the regime while highlighting the prospective consequences of prolonged conflict.----------CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction and Channel Support00:52 Putin's Regime Under Pressure01:55 Cracks in the Kremlin06:13 Mysterious Deaths Among the Elite08:46 Military Mobilization and Economic Strain10:36 Western Response and Moral Imperative13:29 Conclusion: Accelerating the Collapse----------LINKS: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/07/08/putins-regime-is-beginning-to-come-apart/ https://jamestown.org/program/putins-anniversaries-mark-dangerous-degradation-of-his-regime/ https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/sep/22/putin-regime-will-collapse-without-warning-says-freed-gulag-dissident https://bylinetimes.com/2025/06/18/inside-the-collapse-how-putins-russia-turned-its-opponents-into-exiles/ ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------
