Podcast appearances and mentions of volodymyr zelenskyy

John is joined by Massachusetts Democratic congressman Jake Auchincloss to discuss how his party is handling the clash over a government shutdown and the broader challenges of Donald Trump's second term. Jake argues that voting for the Republican measure to fund the government is a mistake in terms of both policy and politics; the freakout in the worlds of business and finance about Trump's trade war is nothing compared to what we'll see when (Jake predicts) Trump tries to take over the Fed; the cowering of Speaker Mike Johnson before Elon Musk is “pathetic”; and ordinary voters are “livid” about Trump's nastiness towards Volodymyr Zelensky and cozying up to Vladimir Putin. Jake also avers that Rahm Emanuel has it right when he says his party should spend more time talking about what goes on in America's classrooms than its locker rooms or bathrooms.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said he is "cautiously optimistic" about a Ukraine ceasefire, but admitted a deal wouldn't be easy or straightforward. Meanwhile, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has accused President Putin of deliberately setting conditions that drag out talks. We get the assessment of a former senior US intelligence officer. Also on the programme: Canada's new prime minister dismisses Donald Trump's idea of annexing his country as "crazy"; and a joey-grabbing social media influencer sparks controversy in Australia.(Photo: Ukrainian service members of the 65th Separate Mechanized Brigade prepare a fighting unmanned ground vehicle for a testing at a training ground, amid Russia's attack on Ukraine, in Zaporizhzhia region, Ukraine March 13, 2025.

Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky has accused his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin of dragging out the ceasefire process. 

At the Munich Security Conference, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy said, "Many, many leaders have talked about Europe that needs its own military, and army -- an Army of Europe. And I really believe that time has come. The Armed Forces of Europe must be created." This idea is almost as old as NATO, and it will likely come to nothing for the same reasons it was stillborn in the early years of the Cold War when France proposed and then rejected the European Defense Community. In this episode, historian Kevin Ruane traces the history of a never-realized idea, but one that is nonetheless urgent as Europe scrambles to provide for its own security in the Age of Trump.

A US delegation has touched down in Moscow, with a ceasefire deal in Ukraine on the cards. Russia's President Vladimir Putin threw his support behind the "idea" of a 30-day ceasefire, but Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he's sceptical.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has signalled his in-principle support for a US-proposed 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine, but raised concerns Ukraine might use the pause to re-arm. Donald Trump welcomed the comments, sending envoy Steve Witkoff to Moscow for talks. However, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is accusing President Putin of setting conditions to delay or derail the deal.

Meer dan ooit is Duitsland nu het cruciale buurland van Nederland en de essentiële lidstaat in de Europese Unie en onder de Europese NAVO-partners.

CDU-CSU en SPD nemen drastische besluiten. Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger over de gevolgen voor Duitsland, Europa en Nederland.***Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

De complete tekst plus linkjes en een overzicht van al onze eerdere afleveringen vind je hier***De nieuwe coalitie van de krimpende oude volkspartijen van christendemocraten en sociaaldemocraten - spottend meer Kleine Koalition dan Grosse Koalition genoemd - kreeg plotseling hulp van twee mensen die een uitweg boden om een adembenemend andere koers in te slaan dan de kiezers was beloofd. De Amerikaanse president Donald Trump en Europese Commissie-president Urlsula von der Leyen zorgden voor een 180 graden omwenteling.Jaap en PG schetsen de heftige botsingen waarmee de verkenningsfase van de coalitie begon en de ingrijpende conclusies waarmee die eindigde. "Das wird ein heisser Ritt", zuchtte Friedrich Merz.Door in de komende tien jaar € 1.000 miljard te reserveren voor investeringen in defensie, Oekraïne en achterstallig onderhoud in de infrastructuur wil de coalitie leiderschap in Europa en bij de transformatie van de economie tonen.Merz weet dat hij een nieuwe Helmut Kohl moet worden, in een minstens zo verbluffende 'Wende' als toen, in 1990. En bij de SPD zijn het de strategische lessen van Helmut Schmidt die getrokken worden.De opluchting in Europa is groot. De Franse president Emmanuel Macron ziet de as Parijs-Berlijn eindelijk herleven en laat geen traan om Olaf Scholz. De alliantie van politieke families rond het midden blijkt in het Europees Parlement al zichtbaar verstevigd.In Berlijn ondervindt Merz meer problemen. De jongerenclubs van zijn Union en de SPD zijn negatief, want zij vinden de eerste afspraken een ‘Boomerakkoord' ten koste van hun toekomst. En voor een snelle hervorming van de 'Schuldenbremse' – de strenge Duitse begrotingsregels – heeft Merz De Groenen nodig, maar zij zijn terughoudend; ze willen hun huid duur verkopen. Intussen moet de SPD haar aangeslagen leiderschap vernieuwen. Lars Klingbeil en Saskia Esken leiden de onderhandelingen. Maar let ook op de populaire minister van Defensie Olaf Pistorius. En op Bärbel Bas, nu nog Bondsdagpresident maar klaar voor de top van haar partij, gonst het door Berlijn. De consequenties van deze politieke omwenteling voor Den Haag zijn nauwelijks te overzien. Met de motie-Eerdmans tegen de EU-defensieplannen is Nederland politiek gecastreerd. Ook de industrie krijgt hiermee grote klappen.Voor NAVO-chef Mark Rutte is het beschamende vertoning dat zijn land in Europa nu alleen staat. Liever dan met Dick Schoof praat Merz met Henri Bontenbal van ‘splinterpartij' CDA, bleek in Brussel. Ondertussen poogt VVD-leider Dilan Yesilgöz in Kyiv president Volodymyr Zelensky te verzekeren dat Nederland Oekraïne volledig blijft steunen.Zou Schoof zwichten voor Omtzigts boekhoudkundige bezwaren dan is de premier volledig gemarginaliseerd. Maar wat Schoof ook doet, het is altijd verkeerd. Als hij afstand neemt van drie van de vier coalitiepartijen, dan is hij pas echt 'van niemand' en zijn positie onhoudbaar. Het was immers formateur Van Zwol die benadrukte dat hij premier werd ‘namens de vier fractieleiders' en dat eigenlijk alleen daarop zijn gezag zou berusten.***Verder luisteren484 - Hoe Trump chaos veroorzaakt en de Europeanen in elkaars armen drijft483 - Friedrich Merz, eerzuchtig en onbesuisd465 – Nederland en Duitsland, labiel en leiderloos.

Quel avenir pour un cessez-le-feu en Ukraine ? Après une longue attente, le président russe a fait connaître son point de vue. « Un oui, mais », titrent d'une même voix, les quotidiens français Le Monde et Le Figaro. Alors qu'en Allemagne, die Welt estime que Poutine a prononcé « beaucoup de mots pour dire non », déclaration que le président ukrainien Volodymyr Zelensky, n'a pas tardé à commenter : qualifiant « les conditions posées par le chef du Kremlin de « manipulation »  ». En Suisse, Le Temps estime lui « que la Russie est d'accord sur le principe d'un cessez-le-feu, mais a beaucoup de questions qui rendent, pour l'instant, son application impossible ». Selon le New York Times, Vladimir Poutine « a suggéré que ses conditions porteraient sur les limites à imposer à l'Ukraine, pendant un cessez-le-feu, limites concernant notamment sur sa « capacité à mobiliser davantage de troupes, et à importer des armes pendant le cessez-le-feu ». « Ce qui, remarque le quotidien américain, placerait Kiev dans une situation encore plus désavantageuse si les combats reprenaient ».  De son côté, le Wall Street Journal est plus catégorique et estime que « la stratégie de paix de Trump en Ukraine, est mise à l'épreuve, après le refus de Poutine d'accepter un cessez-le-feu ».Au jour le jourÀ la Une également, un article du journal Le Soir sur la situation à Gaza. Le quotidien belge s'appuie sur des témoignages recueillis à distance, puisque, vous le savez, la presse internationale n'a pas accès à la bande de Gaza depuis le 7 octobre 2023 et le début de la guerre menée par Israël. Quelle est la situation aujourd'hui ? « Points de passage fermés, aide humanitaire bloquée, électricité coupée », énumère le Soir, qui constate : « le peu d'espoir qui avait germé avec le début du cessez-le-feu à Gaza, a laissé place au pessimisme alors que l'étau se resserre à nouveau et que les négociations pour le jour d'après patinent ». Le Soir a interrogé Amjad Shawa, directeur du réseau des ONG palestinienne à Gaza, le PNGO. « Aujourd'hui », dit-il, « 100 % des gens dépendent de l'aide humanitaire », qui est donc désormais bloquée. Et il ajoute : « il n'y a pas d'électricité, pas d'eau courante et nous sommes entourés de montagnes de déchets. Gaza vit au jour le jour ». Le Soir a aussi interrogé une jeune Palestinienne, Maram Faraj, qui se désespère : « c'est toujours la même misère », dit-elle, « Il n'y a pas de travail. La vie reste très dure. Les gens sont sous des tentes. Il faudra des années pour évacuer les gravats ». Elle pense à quitter l'enclave. Dès que ce sera possible. « Beaucoup de gens veulent partir, explique-t-elle, ils sentent qu'il n'y a plus d'espoir ».TélétravailEnfin, en Espagne, El País fait le bilan, cinq ans après le début du confinement pour enrayer la pandémie de Covid. « Un choc mondial qui a fait des millions de morts », rappelle dans un premier temps le quotidien espagnol. Mais ce n'est pas tout, « le Covid a dépassé le secteur de la santé », affirme El País, « il a bouleversé notre façon d'interagir, de consommer, de bouger, de dormir et de travailler ».  Mais la démonstration n'est pas aussi évidente qu'il y paraît. Dans le domaine professionnel notamment, la pandémie a encouragé le travail à distance, le « télétravail », « peu courant en Espagne, 4,8 % des salariés en 2019 », nous dit El País, « 10,9 % en 2020 ». « À l'époque », rappelle le quotidien espagnol, « beaucoup prédisaient un changement radical. Le télétravail allait s'imposer face au travail présentiel ». Un changement donc, mais qui, comme d'autres, (la diminution des émissions de CO2, par exemple) n'a pas duré. « La proportion de gens qui travaillent à distance, diminue d'année en année », constate El País. « Les grandes entreprises », précise le quotidien espagnol, « ont même fait du rejet du télétravail, l'une de leur fierté, en phase avec la vague réactionnaire actuelle ».

Tonight on The Last Word: The New York Times reports ICE returned all migrants from Guantánamo Bay to stateside facilities. Also, Vladimir Putin attacks Volodymyr Zelenskyy's hometown and still hasn't accepted the U.S.-proposed ceasefire deal. And Republicans remain silent on Donald Trump's antisemitic attack on Sen. Schumer. Rep. Sara Jacobs and Timothy Snyder join Lawrence O'Donnell.

Listeners-we're sorry! We uploaded this episode but it disappeared off the podcast distributor for some reason. -The left half of the country, and a good portion of the right, is defenseless against covert narcissism. They're treating Volodymyr Zelenskyy as a poor bullied little boy, and castigating Trump and Vance as "bullies." This is the biggest moral reversal of the current Trump era. -As children pay for the crimes of their abusive parents, so do normal, tough men pay for the crime of setting limits and boundaries. The reaction to the oval office meeting this week shows more than half the country will turn on their own president working in their own interests. It's a pure form of Cluster B reversal that should be preserved in amber for posterity. -Potpourri due Moquerie takes on Wisconsin's ban on the words "mother" and "husband," troons gone wild who still get called ladies in headlines, and deviant demands to Kenyon College to venerate trannies above all other gods.

Not even two months into his second term, U.S. President Donald Trump is reshaping U.S.-Russian relations at a critical juncture for the war in Ukraine. As Russian President Vladimir Putin presses his advantage on the battlefield, Trump's admiration for the Russian leader, and his push for warmer relations with Moscow, is raising alarms across European capitals—in Kyiv most of all. Fiona Hill spent years studying Putin and Russia as a scholar and U.S. intelligence official before serving, in the first Trump administration, as senior director for European and Russian affairs on the National Security Council. She became a household name during Trump's first impeachment, when her testimony provided crucial insights into Trump's dynamic with Putin and his early interactions with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Today, she is a senior fellow at the Center on the United States and Europe at the Brookings Institution and serves as Chancellor of Durham University. Hill spoke with editor Dan Kurtz-Phelan on the morning of Tuesday, March 11, about Trump's relationship with Putin, the prospects for peace in Ukraine, and European security in an age of American retreat. Later that afternoon, U.S. and Ukrainian officials unveiled a tentative agreement for a 30-day cease-fire—putting the ball in Putin's court.

C dans l'air du 13 mars 2025 - Poutine: "La Russie soutient la trêve"L'accord de cessez-le-feu conclu mardi entre l'Ukraine et les États-Unis attend toujours l'aval russe alors que sur le front, la trêve semble encore loin, notamment dans la région russe de Koursk, en partie envahie par l'armée ukrainiens depuis août 2024 et que les Russes sont en train de reprendre. C'est dans ce territoire frontalier de l'Ukraine que Vladimir Poutine a effectué une rare visite sur le terrain mercredi soir. Vêtu d'un uniforme militaire, il a ordonné à ses troupes de "libérer complètement" la région Koursk et de poursuivre les opérations en territoire ukrainien. Il a également demandé que les soldats ukrainiens capturés soient "traités comme des terroristes". Le chef d'Etat russe qui est resté silencieux sur la proposition d'un cessez-le-feu de 30 jours devrait s'exprimer aujourd'hui à l'occasion d'une conférence de presse prévue dans la foulée de sa rencontre avec son homologue biélorusse. Mais en fin de matinée, son conseiller diplomatique a déjà indiqué qu'un cessez-le-feu donnerait "un répit" à l'armée ukrainienne et qu'il n'est "pas propice" à un règlement "durable" du conflit. La Russie a également averti qu'elle considérerait l'envoi de soldats de la paix européens en Ukraine comme un "conflit armé direct" avec Moscou. Le président ukrainien Volodymyr Zelensky a dénoncé ce jeudi l'absence de réponse russe à la proposition américaine de trêve de 30 jours en Ukraine, accusant Moscou de chercher à "prolonger la guerre". "Nous espérons que la pression des États-Unis" permettra de "contraindre la Russie à mettre fin à la guerre", a-t-il ajouté.Des négociateurs américains ont décollé mercredi pour la Russie en vue d'obtenir un feu vert à la proposition d'un cessez-le-feu. De son côté Donald Trump a dit espérer que Vladimir Poutine acceptera un cessez-le-feu et menacé le Kremlin de représailles économiques en cas de refus. « Sur le plan financier, je peux faire des choses qui seraient très mauvaises pour la Russie. Je ne veux pas faire ça parce que je veux la paix", a-t-il ainsi lancé, laissant planer le doute sur ses pensées exactes. Le président américain devrait s'entretenir dans la semaine avec le maître du Kremlin. D'ici là, Donald Trump poursuit sa guerre commerciale, avec l'entrée en vigueur d'une taxe de 25 % sur les importations d'acier et l'aluminium, avant toute une série d‘autres produits taxés à partir du 1er avril. L'Europe dans la foulée a annoncé hier la riposte et Donald Trump a menacé de répondre à la décision de Bruxelles en taxant de 200 % le champagne et les vins français et européens. Un jeu de ping-pong qui fait reculer la Bourse de Paris ce jeudi et déstabilise Wall Street depuis dimanche. Optimistes après l'élection, les marchés redoutent désormais l'impact d'une guerre commerciale menée par le président américain. Inquiets, les investisseurs craignent les conséquences de sa politique économique alors que se multiplient les signaux d'alerte. Ainsi les dépenses de consommation des ménages américains ont baissé en janvier 2025, la bourse connaît une dégringolade, en particulier chez certaines places fortes comme Tesla. Le chômage a connu une hausse en février et la prévision de croissance américaine pour le premier trimestre 2025 est désormais de - 1,5 %.Parallèlement, ces derniers jours, les témoignages de salariés fédéraux licenciés quelques mois après avoir déposé un bulletin au nom du candidat républicain dans les urnes se multiplient dans les médias américains et sur les réseaux sociaux. En un mois, ce sont plus de 60 000 Américains qui ont dû précipitamment faire leurs cartons, victimes inattendues des brutales coupes budgétaires opérées par Elon Musk et ses équipes. Et c'est loin d'être terminé. Le ministère américain de l'Éducation, que Donald Trump entend supprimer, a annoncé le licenciement de près de la moitié de son personnel avant son démantèlement complet, alors que 23 postes, dont celui de la scientifique en chef, vont être supprimés à la Nasa. Au-delà de réduire drastiquement le nombre de ses fonctionnaires, Donald Trump s'en prend aussi aux scientifiques et à la recherche. Une politique qui passe par le licenciement de nombreux chercheurs, la réduction des budgets mais aussi par la suppression de très nombreuses données et de très nombreux travaux. Des milliers de pages web sur un certain nombre de sites d'agences fédérales ont été supprimées de façon assez systématique car elles contenaient des termes désormais interdits, qu'on ne peut plus utiliser à la fois dans la communication mais également dans la recherche. "Équité", "femme", "trauma", "inégalité", "injustices", "racisme", "pollution" sont tous autant de termes qui désormais posent problème à l'administration de Donald Trump. Des photos sont également effacées par l'armée américaine. D'après une enquête de l'Associated Press, au moins vingt-six mille photos des archives numériques du Pentagone devraient être supprimées pour gommer toute référence aux programmes favorisant "diversité, équité et inclusion".

C dans l'air l'invitée du 12 mars 2025 : Alexandra de Hoop Scheffer, politologue, spécialiste des relations transatlantiques et internationales, présidente du think tank German Marshall Fund of the United States.Plus de huit heures de "discussions productives". L'Ukraine a affirmé que les négociations mardi avec les États-Unis à Jeddah (Arabie saoudite) avaient débuté de manière "très constructive", avec une proposition de cessez-le-feu partiel. La Maison Blanche a applaudi de son côté des discussions "productives", après huit heures de pourparlers.Les négociateurs ukrainiens sont arrivés à Jeddah avec une proposition de "trêve dans les airs" et "en mer" avec Moscou, avait indiqué lundi à l'AFP un haut responsable ukrainien. Et ce mardi soir, à la fin des réunions, l'offre d'une trêve de 30 jours avec la Russie est sur la table.L'Ukraine "accepte cette proposition" et "est prête pour la paix", a répété le président ukrainien Volodymyr Zelensky sur ses réseaux sociaux. Cependant "la Russie doit montrer si elle est prête à mettre fin à la guerre ou à la poursuivre" a-t-il ajouté. Washington doit donc désormais convaincre le Kremlin d'accepter cette trêve. Le président américain a déclaré dans la soirée qu'il "allait parler à Vladimir Poutine", sans doute cette semaine.En échange de l'accord de l'Ukraine, les États-Unis acceptent de leur côté de lever leurs restrictions, selon la déclaration commune. "Les États-Unis feront savoir à la Russie que la réciprocité russe est la clé de la paix", déclare le communiqué

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: 5:00pm- The House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on a stopgap spending bill that will fund the government through September—avoiding a potential government shutdown at midnight on Friday. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) is expected to vote against the continuing resolution, meaning Republicans cannot afford any other defects assuming Democrats vote in unison against the bill. 5:20pm- While appearing on Fox News, Trump Administration Special Envoy Steve Witkoff revealed that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky wrote a letter to President Donald Trump apologizing for his adversarial attitude while visiting the Oval Office earlier this month. 5:25pm- After meeting with Ukrainian officials in Saudi Arabia, Secretary of State Marco Rubio revealed that Ukraine has agreed to terms for an immediate ceasefire with a willingness to enter “immediate negotiations to end this conflict [with Russia] in a way that's enduring and sustainable." National Security Advisor Mike Waltz added, “The president has made it clear…that all fighting needs to end.” 5:30pm- While speaking at the HumanX A.I. Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada, former Vice President Kamala Harris noted her experience with the technology citing her history of ordering Doritos through DoorDash—but is that really an example of cutting-edge artificial intelligence? Isn't it just a service that has been around for a while? 5:40pm- The House of Representatives has passed a continuing resolution to fund the government through September. If the CR passes in the Senate, Congress will narrowly avert a government shutdown on Friday at midnight. However, several Democrats will be needed to overcome the Senate filibuster which requires 60 votes.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (03/11/2025): 3:05pm- After meeting with Ukrainian officials in Saudi Arabia, Secretary of State Marco Rubio revealed that Ukraine has agreed to terms for an immediate ceasefire with a willingness to enter “immediate negotiations to end this conflict [with Russia] in a way that's enduring and sustainable." National Security Advisor Mike Waltz added, “The president has made it clear…that all fighting needs to end.” 3:15pm- Last week, in a post to X, Secretary of State Marco Rubio wrote: “Those who support designated terrorist organizations, including Hamas, threaten our national security. The United States has zero tolerance for foreign visitors who support terrorists. Violators of U.S. law—including international students—face visa denial or revocation, and deportation.” On Sunday, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested Mahmoud Khalil—a former Columbia University graduate student and a lawful permanent resident alien—who has been outspoken about his support for the terrorist organization Hamas. The Trump Administration intends to deport Khalil, who was born in Syria. But does this infringe upon free speech rights? In National Review, legal expert Andrew C. McCarthy notes that Khalil's association with, and vocal support for, Hamas are debatable grounds for deportation—however, Khalil likely engaged in unlawful activities, citing the numerous arrests that occurred as a result of destructive, unauthorized on-campus protests. This makes the case against Khalil more compelling. The New York Post reported that Khalil was also being investigated as a possible national security threat. 3:40pm- In recent days, Tesla's stock has tumbled and there have been a growing number of social media influencers advocating for a Tesla boycott in response to CEO Elon Musk's work on behalf of the Trump Administration. In a show of support, President Donald Trump bought a Tesla at the White House on Tuesday. 4:05pm- Susan Crabtree—RealClearPolitics National Political Correspondent—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss her new book, “Fools Gold: The Radicals, Con Artists, and Traitors Who Killed the California Dream and Now Threaten Us All,” which releases today! In the book, Crabtree investigates, among other things, Governor Gavin Newsom's ties to the Chinese Communist Party. Crabtree says of Newsome: “he acts like he can run for president via podcast when his state is in shambles.” Plus, could Mel Gibson run for governor of California? You can find the book here: https://a.co/d/1g9qLKf. 4:40pm- In recent days, Tesla's stock has tumbled and there have been a growing number of social media influencers advocating for a Tesla boycott in response to CEO Elon Musk's work on behalf of the Trump Administration. In a show of support, President Donald Trump bought a Tesla at the White House on Tuesday. While speaking with the press, President Trump said he does not believe the country will experience a depression, hilariously adding that “Trump is always right.” 4:50pm- Confirmed: On April 28th, the Philadelphia Eagles will visit President Donald Trump at the White House to celebrate their Super Bowl victory. 5:00pm- The House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on a stopgap spending bill that will fund the government through September—avoiding a potential government shutdown at midnight on Friday. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) is expected to vote against the continuing resolution, meaning Republicans cannot afford any other defects assuming Democrats vote in unison against the bill. 5:20pm- While appearing on Fox News, Trump Administration Special Envoy Steve Witkoff revealed that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky wrote a letter to President Donald Trump apologizing for his adversarial attitude while visiting the Oval Office earlier this month. 5:25pm- After meeting with Ukrainian officials in Saudi Arabia, Secretary of State Marco Rubio revealed that Ukraine has agreed to terms for an ...

Europe treats Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy like a superstar, yet still expects the United States to fund Ukraine's war against Russia. Is this fair? “ Of all the players in this drama, it's Europe who should be in the driver's seat. They have 500 million people,” says Victor Davis Hanson on this episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “We have 500 million people in Europe and they're very upset that 330 million people across the ocean will not help 40 million people fighting 140 million people in Russia. In other words, of all the players in this drama, it's Europe who should be in the driver's seat. They have 500 million people. And yet, when we look at their expenditures, nine countries out of the 32, 11 years later, have not increased their NATO contributions to 2%.

After a short hiatus, Storm and Matt are back to give their hot takes and discuss all the big news over the last two weeks – from Volodymyr Zelenskyy's disastrous White House visit, Donald Trump's joint address to confirmation, the latest economic numbers, and all the president is doing to make America great again.

Europe is not typically the focus of the Grand Tamasha podcast but recent developments involving Europe, the United States, and India raise fresh questions about the future shape of the international order.Last week, a high-level European Commission delegation embarked on a historic trip to New Delhi, where the two sides spoke optimistically of a promising new chapter in their relationship. Across the ocean in Washington, however, there were alarming signs of a breakdown in the Trans-Atlantic relationship, with the unprecedented Oval Office dressing down of Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy.To discuss where things stand in Europe, India, and the United States, Milan is joined on the show this week by Tara Varma. Tara is a visiting fellow in the Center of the United States and Europe at the Brookings Institution. Until December 2022, she was a senior policy fellow and the head of the Paris office of the European Council on Foreign Relations. She has previously worked and lived in Shanghai, London, New Delhi, and Paris.Milan and Tara discuss the growing wedge between the United States and Europe, the significance of the recent EC visit to New Delhi, the prospects of an EU-India trade pact, and the prospects of a “New Yalta” summit between China, Russia, and the United States. Plus, the two discuss the emerging bonhomie among right-wing nationalists and the prospects of the Trump administration engineering a Sino-Russia split.Episode notes:1.

In recent weeks President Trump's foreign policy pronouncements have been loud and abrasive. American allies watched in barely concealed dismay as the US president shouted at Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval office. Since then Trump has halted military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine and embarked on trade wars with Canada, Mexico, China - and perhaps next, the EU.In this episode Katie Stallard reports on America First - the Trumpian turn in US foreign policy and the end of the world as we knew it.

Talk about mood swings: is that epic White House bust-up that we are still processing already water under the bridge?Donald Trump's envoys making that recent dumpster fire of a sitdown with Volodymyr Zelenskiy sound like a fading memory. The US now unpausing military assistance to Kyiv and talking up the imminence of a rare minerals deal, this in exchange for Ukraine agreeing to a 30-day truce with Russia. All is forgiven… up to a point.  With the ball now in the Kremlin's court, Ukraine is still shut out of direct bargaining over its own fate. For now, it is still between Moscow and Washington.We will ask about the dizzying ups and downs of diplomacy à la Trump, and how allies feel about this rollercoaster ride. On that score, special attention to all the huddling we have seen in London and Paris as Europeans figure out how to rewrite their own security strategy on the fly, what with a U-S-led Nato no longer what it used to be. Produced by Théophile Vareille, Rebecca Gnignati and Ilayda Habip. 

The ball is in Vladimir Putin's court today after the US and Ukraine reached a ceasefire proposal at a meeting in Saudi Arabia, in what marked a dramatic change of tone in Washington-Kyiv relations.Kyiv said it is ready to accept a US proposal for an immediate 30-day ceasefire. Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky said it was now up to the US to convince Russia.So what is Putin's next move? Kamal and Camilla ask Kremlinologist Emily Ferris about the Russian president's thinking and whether there is any kind of succession plan in Moscow.Elsewhere, in a remarkable development, it transpires that the captain of the Portuguese-flagged ship that crashed into an oil tanker transporting American fuel in the North Sea on Monday was Russian.

Ottawa is putting reciprocal tariffs on U.S. goods after another 25 per cent tariff came into effect on steel and aluminum. Prime minister-designate Mark Carney says he is waiting until he is sworn in before speaking to U.S. president Donald Trump.People in Ontario's steel town, Hamilton, say they are worried about their jobs. And the effect will trickle down to the whole local economy. U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says the tariffs will stay in place until the country's manufacturing catches up.Also: The Bank of Canada cuts its trend-setting rate by a quarter of a percentage point. It also signalled an economic slowdown has started — spurred in part by the uncertainty brought on by tariff chaos.And: The world is waiting to hear what Russian President Vladimir Putin will say about a proposed ceasefire in Ukraine. Trump says it's a good deal; Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has signed on. But it will fall apart if Putin rejects it.Plus: Demonstrators in New York City support a Palestinian activist arrested for on-campus demonstrations at Columbia University, the Canadian Navy's top commander is in Antarctica, and more.

Later today Taoiseach Micheal Martin will meet US president Donald Trump in Washington, against a backdrop of Trump's tariff threats and huge economic uncertainty.The economic relationship between Ireland and the United States is likely to feature when both leaders face the press.The recent torrid experience at the White House of Ukrainain president Volodymyr Zelenskiy suggests its possible Mr Martin could be in for a difficult day.So how should the Taoiseach handle Mr Trump?Political correspondent Jack Horgan-Jones explains where and how problems may arise.Then neuropsychologist Ian Robertson suggests some strategies for dealing with Trump's singular personality.

Ukraine has backed a US proposal for a 30 day ceasefire in the war with Russia, subject to the agreement of Moscow. The announcement follows eight hours of talks between Ukrainian and US delegations in Saudi Arabia. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky (who wasn't at the talks) said the proposal included a truce along the entire front line, not just in the air and at sea. The US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told journalists in Jeddah that the ball was now in Russia's court. The US has agreed to immediately lift its pause on military aid for Ukraine and intelligence sharing as a result of the talks. We speak to veteran US diplomat Kurt Volker.Also in the programme: The former President of the Philippines Rodrigo Duterte is on his way to The Netherlands to face charges from the International Criminal Court related to his war on drugs; and armed militants in Pakistan attack a train and seize hundreds of hostages.(Photo: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and National Security Advisor Mike Waltz speak with the media after meetings with a Ukrainian delegation in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia March 11, 2025.

This week we talk about Euromaidan, minerals deals, and propaganda.We also discuss European security, NATO, and the western-led world order.Recommended Book: Storm Front by Jim ButcherTranscriptIn February of 2014, pro-Russian protests racked parts of southeastern Ukraine and Russian soldiers, their uniforms and weapons stripped of flags and other identifying markers, occupied another part of Ukraine called Crimea.This was seemingly in response to Ukraine's overthrow of its pro-Russian president, Viktor Yanukovych, who was toppled as part of the Euromaidan protests, which were themselves a response to Yanukovych deciding to aim for closer ties with Russia, rather than signing an association agreement with the EU, which would have committed Ukraine to several EU-oriented reforms, related to corruption, among other things, while also giving Ukrainians many new rights, including visa-free movement and access to the European Investment Bank, beginning a few years later, in 2017.This sudden pivot away from the EU and toward Russia didn't go down well with the Ukrainian public, which had repeatedly shown it wanted to lean toward the west, and the Euromaidan protests were focused on weeding out government corruption; the existing government was accused of being all sorts of corrupt, and had also been accused of human rights abuses and allowing Russian oligarchs undo influence at the highest rungs of power; Yanukovych was in Russia's pocket, basically, and his overthrow made Russia worry that they would lose control of their neighbor.So Russia moved in to take part of Ukraine, basically uncontested, both internally and externally—a lot of other governments made upset noises about this, but Russia gave itself cover by removing their flags from their personnel, and that gave them the ability to paint everything that happened as a natural uprising from within Ukraine, the people wanting freedom from their Ukrainian oppressors, and Russia was just supporting this cry to overthrow oppressive tyrants, because they're very nice and love freedom.For the next eight years, the Ukrainian government fought separatist forces, funded and reinforced by the Russian government, in the southeastern portion of their country, while Russia expanded their infrastructure in Crimea, which again, they stole from Ukraine early on, and where they previously leased vital naval facilities from Ukraine; and those facilities are assumed to be a big part of why all this went down the way it did, as without said naval facilities, they wouldn't have a naval presence in the Black Sea.Then, in February of 2022, after a multi-month buildup of troops and military hardware along their shared border, which they provided all sorts of excuses for, and which many commentators and governments around the world excused as just a bunch of saber-rattling, nothing to worry about, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, initially aiming for a blitzkrieg-like assault that was meant to take Ukraine's capital city, Kyiv, and decapitate the country's government within just days, at which point they could replace the government with someone who's working for them, another puppet they controlled.As of the day I'm recording this, in early March of 2025, the war is still ongoing, though. And in the years since it began, it's estimated that more than a million people have been killed or injured, while entire cities across Ukraine have been leveled and tens of thousands of Ukrainian refugees have fled Russia's forces as they've raped and pillaged and murdered their way across the Ukrainian countryside, those refugees leaving for destinations around the world, but creating a refugee crisis in nearby European nations like Poland and Germany, in particular.There's been a lot of back and forth in this conflict, Russia initially thought to have a massive upper hand, probably winning within days, as intended, but then Ukraine held fast, Russia redeployed its troops and armor, Ukraine got some remarkable counter-attacks in, and then Russia started to reset its economy to allow for a more drawn-out conflict.As of early 2025, Russia is once against considered to have the upper-hand, and though Ukraine has been holding the line even in the most under-assault regions in the eastern portion of its territory, and has in recent weeks managed to take some Russian-held territory back, Russia's comparably larger number of troops, its recent resupply of soldiers from North Korea, its larger economy and number of supply chains, and its relationships with entities like China and Iran, in addition to North Korea, all of which have been supplying it with things it needs to keep the war effort going, at length, have all conspired to put Ukraine on the back foot.Additionally, Ukraine is struggling, after this many years of total war, to refill empty boots and make do with whatever their allies can and will offer them, in terms of money, weapons, but also the basics, like food and fuel. They've been able to shore-up some limited aspects of their economy, and have innovated like crazy when it comes to things like drones and other fundamentals of asymmetric, defensive warfare, but right now at least, the larger forces swirling around in the geopolitical realm are making life difficult for Ukraine, and for those who are still supporting them.And that's what I'd like to talk about today; the continuing conflict in Ukraine, but especially what's happening on the sidelines, beyond the battle itself—and how those sideline happenings might lead to some fundamental changes in how Europe is organized, and the makeup of the modern world order.—At this point I've done probably half a dozen or more episodes on this conflict; it's long-lasting, it's big, it's important locally, but also globally, and it's been informing both geopolitical and economic outcomes since day one.Today I'd like to talk about some recent happenings, most of them from the past few months, that could prove impactful on the eventual outcome of this conflict, and might even determine when that end of fighting arrives.And at the center of these happenings is recently reelected US President Trump, who has always had a, let's call it unusual, public appreciation for Russian President Putin, and the strongman image he and other global authoritarians wield, while at the same time not being a big fan of Ukrainian President Zelensky—perhaps in part because Trump called Zelensky back in 2019 to try to get him to come up with evidence supporting a debunked conspiracy theory about his opponent, Joe Biden's administration, related to alleged impropriety in US-Ukrainian relations.Zelensky could find no such evidence, and when he told Trump there was nothing to be found, Trump blocked payments on $400 million worth of military aid for Ukraine, holding it hostage until Zelensky came up with what he wanted. This became a big scandal only after the fact, and before it could be made public or became known by congress via a whistleblower complaint, Trump released the money. This led to a formal impeachment inquiry into Trump later that year, which led to his impeachment for abusing his power and obstructing Congress—but he was then acquitted by the Republican-led Senate.This, it's thought, may have colored Trump's behavior toward Zelensky when the two men sat down, alongside several other US officials, including US Vice President JD Vance, to discuss a potential mineral deal between the US and Ukraine, which was based on an earlier deal that the Ukrainian government dismissed.The original deal basically required that Ukraine exploit its mineral wealth and put half of the money it makes from those minerals into a fund that would be used to pay the US back for the military assistance it's provided so far, to the tune of $500 billion; which is quite a lot more than the $175 billion or so the US has spent on this conflict since Russia invaded, only $128 billion of which has directly aided the Ukrainian government, as opposed to funding US activities associated with the war, or supporting other affected countries thereabouts.So originally the US asked for more than double what's been provided so far, in return, paid for by Ukraine's mineral wealth, which includes a lot of the types of rare earth minerals that are vital for common modern technologies, like computers, batteries, and solar panels.That didn't fly, mostly because it didn't contain a security guarantee for Ukraine—the US saying it would protect them if necessary, basically, in exchange for this huge sum of money—so the new deal asked for $500 billion be placed in a fund, and that fund would be jointly controlled by the US and Ukraine, the funds used to rebuild the country after the war.50% of all revenues from Ukrainian natural resources newly exploited after the war, so not from existing mines and ports and such, would be put into this fund. Like the first time around, this deal didn't include a security agreement from the US, but the general idea was that this fund would incentivize new investment in the area, and because Ukraine has a lot of unexploited mineral wealth, this could give the US a new source for these sorts of valuable raw materials that are currently mostly controlled by China, but which the US government is attempting to claim more of, now that it's realized it's way behind on locking down sources of these really important things.At the meeting where this second deal was meant to be signed, though, Zelensky flying to the US to sit down with Trump to make it happen, the President and Vice President more or less verbally attacked Zelensky, criticizing him for not being more overtly grateful, and telling him he was wrong when he said that Russia started the war by invading Ukraine.It was all pretty bizarre, and even folks in Trump's own party seemed pretty puzzled by the whole thing, some of them calling it embarrassing, as Trump and Vance were basically parroting Putin's propaganda that no one actually believes because they ignore easily verifiable facts.In any event, this led to a lot of fallout between the US and Ukrainian governments, with Trump suggesting he would lean more heavily on Ukraine to get them to accept peace on Russia's terms, because the Ukrainians couldn't see reason and accept his version of reality, essentially.Trump has also suggested that he's been talking a lot with Putin, and that he believes Putin wants peace, and it's time to end the war. Putin, for his part, has not seemed inclined to give up anything in order to achieve peace, and Russian attacks on Ukraine have increased in scale since Trump came into office, and even more so after talks about a supposed peace agreement began.All of which has had implications on the ground.In Ukraine, Ukrainian soldiers have had to operate with fewer resources, as Trump cut off additional funding and supply shipments, post-meeting. He recently ordered that the US not share intelligence with them, too, and they cut off the sharing of satellite imagery, which Ukraine has used to great effect to strike Russian targets from a distance.This has also had implications across Europe, though, as while Ukraine is being invaded now, there are concerns that if Putin gets away with taking part or all of Ukraine, he'll go for other previous Soviet assets, next, maybe starting with the Baltic nations—Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania—and then tearing off chunks of Poland, Finland, or other neighbors that were previously part of the Soviet Union, like eastern Germany.The European Union, despite a fair bit of warning about Trump's stance on the issue, and the possibility that he would return to office, has been seemingly dumbstruck by Trump's sudden pivot away from supporting Ukraine, and away from NATO more broadly, toward a stance that favors Russia, instead. European governments have been scrambling to come up with an aid package that will replace some of what the US would have given, and have started sharing more intelligence, as well, including satellite imagery.It won't be easy, though, as the US versions of these things, from monetary resources to eyes in the sky vastly outshine what even the combination of British, French, and German assets can offer—at least at this stage. And the US has traditionally handled the lion's share of spending and building in these areas, shouldering the majority of NATO spending, because, well, it could, and that was a major premise of the post-WWII, western-led world order. The US said it would protect global capitalist democracies with its military might and nukes, if necessary, and European nations have been generally happy with this setup as it has generally allowed European governments to spend less money on their militaries and more on other stuff.That state of affairs seems to have ended, or at the very least become too unreliable to bet on, though, so EU nations are attempting to fill in the gaps left by the suddenly less-reliable-seeming US government, not just for Ukraine, but for themselves, as well.Poland's president recently announced that he wants to develop nuclear weapons and wants every adult male to undergo military training, so the country can field an army 500,000-strong.The French president has said he wants to extend his country's nuclear umbrella—guaranteed deterrence, basically, using nuclear weapons—to the whole of the EU. France has far fewer nukes than the US and Russia, but this captures a sense of the moment in the Union, where a bunch of currently underfunded militaries are realizing they might not be able to rely on the US in a pinch. And while they collectively have a lot more people and resources than Russia, Russia is fully mobilized and has shown itself to be willing to attack sovereign nations, whenever it pleases, caring a lot less for the human lives it spends, in the process, than is typical in western-style democracies.Even short of full-scale, out of nowhere invasions, Russia could pose a threat to European governments via asymmetrical routes. It's been seemingly approving all sorts of espionage operations meant to increase immigration arrivals in European nations where immigration is already a hot-button issue, nudging politics to the far-right, and it's allegedly been attacking infrastructure, in terms of hacking and just blowing stuff up, in order to sow discord and fear.As I mentioned earlier, too, part of Germany was previously held by the Soviet Union, and that same part of the country has recently voted heavily in favor of the country's furthest-right party, which wants stronger ties with Russia. So while conventional military issues are at the forefront of discussion, right now, Russia's long history of asymmetric warfare is also getting a fair bit of attention, as it could conceivably use these groups as a casus belli to attack, carving off pieces of its European neighbors and slowly incorporating them into its sphere of influence, similar to what it did in Ukraine, beginning in 2014; if eastern Germany supports Russia, it could fund and in other ways support uprising efforts in these regions, creating chaos and potentially even breaking off separatist states that would pull those regions into Russia's orbit.It's a tumultuous moment in this part of the world, then, in part because of the conflict that's still ongoing—a much larger and more powerful nation having invaded its smaller, less-powerful neighbor. But it's also tumultuous because of the implications of that conflict, especially if Russia comes out on top. If they win, there would seem to be a far greater chance of their deciding to keep the ball rolling, replicating a model that worked (without significant long-term consequences) across more neighboring nations.And if they can do that before Europe reinforces itself—assuming that's what the EU does, as it can be difficult to get a bunch of people with a bunch of at times competing interests to agree on anything, and even more so when said agreement involves both money and potentially sending civilians into harm's way—if Russia can get there before a new, restructured and reinforced Europe emerges, we could see another, similar conflict soon, and this one could be even more successful than the last, if Russia tweaks its formula to make it more effective, and European governments succumb to war weariness, exhausted by the war in Ukraine, in the meantime.Show Noteshttps://www.cfr.org/article/how-much-us-aid-going-ukrainehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump%E2%80%93Ukraine_scandalhttps://www.csis.org/analysis/breaking-down-us-ukraine-minerals-dealhttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/08/world/europe/ukraine-russia-north-korea-kursk.htmlhttps://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/03/08/zelensky-trump-fallout-ukraine/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/04/world/europe/ukraine-us-trump-military-support.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/06/us/politics/ukraine-zelensky-trump-russia.htmlhttps://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-war-dobropillya-us-intelligence-3d0bad105a93933e9cdaca5cf31fcf74https://mwi.westpoint.edu/no-substitute-for-victory-how-to-negotiate-from-a-position-of-strength-to-end-the-russo-ukraine-war/https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/eu-leaders-cautiously-welcome-macrons-nuclear-umbrella-offer-2025-03-06/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/world/europe/bulgarians-guilty-spying-russia-uk.htmlhttps://www.politico.com/news/2025/03/08/europe-scrambles-to-aid-ukraine-after-us-intelligence-cutoff-00219678https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9wpy9x890wohttps://www.cbsnews.com/news/keith-kellogg-ukraine-intelligence-sharing-pause/https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ce8yz5dk82wohttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/world/us-ukraine-satellite-imagery.htmlhttps://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c05m907r39qohttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/us/politics/trump-russia-sanctions-tariffs.htmlhttps://www.csis.org/analysis/ukraines-future-vision-and-current-capabilities-waging-ai-enabled-autonomous-warfarehttps://www.politico.eu/article/donald-tusk-plan-train-poland-men-military-service-russiahttps://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2025/03/08/poland-says-it-plans-to-give-every-adult-male-military-traininghttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/world/europe/ukraine-trump-minerals.htmlhttps://apnews.com/article/ten-days-that-upended-us-support-for-ukraine-8930c01a15910a7ad8a7f7c7fac9ba3ahttps://www.wsj.com/world/white-house-and-ukraine-close-in-on-deal-for-mineral-rights-e924c672https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/ukraine-us-still-ironing-parts-191805611.htmlhttps://www.reuters.com/business/us-could-cut-ukraines-access-starlink-internet-services-over-minerals-say-2025-02-22/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/world/europe/ukraine-minerals-deal.htmlhttps://www.cnn.com/2025/02/26/europe/ukraine-us-mineral-resources-deal-explained-intl-latam/index.htmlhttps://www.spglobal.com/commodity-insights/en/news-research/latest-news/electric-power/122624-eu-moving-to-develop-infrastructure-for-nuclear-energy-expansion-officialshttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-07/european-stocks-see-most-inflows-in-decade-amid-defense-splurgehttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/business/ai-summit-paris.htmlhttps://apnews.com/article/germany-ukraine-debt-brake-economy-military-spending-74be8e96d8515ddddd53a99a69957651https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/03/03/world/europe/ukraine-russia-war-drones-deaths.html?unlocked_article_code=1.2U4.b15Z.1EA4tDb_37Bqhttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/10/world/europe/ukraine-russia-eastern-front-line.htmlhttps://www.iiss.org/online-analysis/military-balance/2025/02/combat-losses-and-manpower-challenges-underscore-the-importance-of-mass-in-ukraine/https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-march-7-2025https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euromaidanhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union%E2%80%93Ukraine_Association_Agreementhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russo-Ukrainian_Warhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine_(1_January_2025_%E2%80%93_present) This is a public episode.

John is joined by New York Times opinion columnist M. Gessen to discuss Donald Trump's affinity for Vladimir Putin and what it means for Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukraine, and the whole of Europe. Gessen, winner of the 2017 National Book Award for The Future Is History: How Totalitarianism Reclaimed Russia, contends it's now crystal clear that the U.S. has switched sides in the Ukraine war and offers a number of entwined explanations as to Trump's motives for doing so; that Putin's larger territorial/imperial ambitions are rooted in his fixation on the 1945 Yalta accords and the framework established there by FDR, Stalin, and Churchill; and that Europe's swift and dramatic response to Trump's turn against Zelensky may prove as historic as the other paradigm-shifting events of the past fortnight.

This motivating discussion was supposed to run earlier, but then the third year anniversary of Russia's full scale invasion of Ukraine was marked by Trump viciously reminding the world he works for Russia by kicking Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy out of the White House, after he, Vance, and MTG's boyfriend tried to ambush the war hero.    In our recorded first ever Gaslit Nation book club, we discussed Albert Camus' The Stranger (Matthew Ward translation) and Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning, to see what wisdom they hold for us today, and how these two works “talk to each other.”    For March, we're reading Gene Sharp's revolutionary handbook From Dictatorship to Democracy: A Conceptual Framework for Liberation, which informed revolts in Ukraine, the Arab Spring, Hong Kong, and beyond. Our March 31st salon at 4pm will open with a book club discussion of Dictatorship to Democracy. For April, we're reading (if you haven't already!) Octavia Butler's The Parable of the Sower, and May's book club pick is Total Resistance: Swiss Army Guide to Guerrilla Warefare And Underground Operations.
