President Trump wants to make a deal with Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine. Putin says Russia wants to engage in peace talks, but Putin has also been ordering the most widespread and violent aerial attacks on Ukraine in years. This has led Trump to criticize Putin more and more in public — a step that's been rare over the course of Trump's two terms in office.Three years into his war on Ukraine, what does Putin really want? It's a question leaders around the world are trying to figure out.To learn more, NPR's Scott Detrow speaks with Angela Stent, Professor Emeritus at Georgetown University, Senior Fellow at the Brookings institution — a nonpartisan policy organization in Washington DC — and author of the book "Putin's World: Russia Against the West and With the Rest.

What a difference a month makes! The Democrats have a new Presidential nominee in Kamala Harris. But what are her views on Foreign Policy? We talk about the potential differences between her policies and those of the Biden Administration.Also in this episode, Anita had the pleasure of speaking to Angela Stent, a senior non-resident fellow at the Brookings Institution and Senior adviser to the U.S. Institute of Peace. We covered a range of topics, including how the U.S. elections might affect Putin's execution of the Ukraine war, the current domestic situation in Russia, and Russia's relationships with the large number of neutral countries that haven't bought into the West's story of the Ukraine war as an existential threat to democracy and the global order. We also discussed the far-right's white nationalist dream of allying with Russia against China.Topics Discussed in this EpisodeUS Election Madness18:00 - Kamala Harris Foreign Policy39:00 - Interview with Angela StentArticles and Resources Mentioned in EpisodeKamala Harris Foreign PolicyWhat a Kamala Harris foreign policy could look like (Politico)With Kamala Harris, U.S. Free Trade Skepticism May Continue (NY Times)Russia wary of U.S. and France election surprises, especially Kamala Harris (WaPo)How to decode Kamala Harris's foreign policy (The Economist)Interview with Angela StentPutin's World: Russia Against the West and with the RestGeorgetown University (Center for Eurasian, Russian, and East European Studies)BrookingsX|TwitterFollow Us Show Website: www.kelloggsglobalpolitics.com Show Twitter: @GlobalKellogg Anita's Twitter: @arkellogg Show YouTube

There were two moments that stood out to The New Abnormal host Andy Levy the most while watching the last Jan. 6 committee hearing on December 19, which made four scathing criminal referrals against former President Donald Trump for his alleged involvement in what happened that day. He and co-host Danielle Moodie also discuss other evidence presented during the hearings, the smartest thing the Jan. 6 committee ever did (Shonda Rhimes is brought up in this part of the conversation), and Merrick Garland. Also on this episode: Techdirt founder and CEO of The Copia Institute Mike Masnick tries to answer Andy Levy's burning Elon Musk questions, such as whether or not the Twitter CEO will step down after a “very scientific” poll on the platform. Last, Brooking Institute's Angela Stent, author of Putin's World: Russia Against the West and with the Rest, breaks down the weird infatuation Trump's Republicans have with Russia, why she thinks former marine Paul Whelan is still in Russian custody and the ways the country was mocking the U.S. for the Brittney Griner trade.

(1:09:44) Livro recomendado: Putin's World: Russia Against the West and with the Rest Hardcover, by Angela Stent  _______________ Desde a invasão da Ucrânia, a 24 de fevereiro, que a guerra tem dominado a discussão no espaço público. Tenho hesitado, porém, em trazer um tema tão volátil ao 45 Graus, tendo em conta um dos princípios do podcast: que cada episódio seja o mais perene possível -- isto é, que perca pouco em ser ouvido 1, 2 ou 5 anos depois de ter sido gravado.  E, no entanto, este é, de facto, um tema incontornável -- e um evento que, qualquer que venha ser o desfecho, veio alterar a Ordem Mundial de maneira irreversível.  E imprevisível, também? No início da guerra -- que apanhou (quase) todos de surpresa -- provavelmente sim, mas agora que passam já 3 meses do início da invasão, numa altura em que as posições da Rússia, da Ucrânia e o Ocidente e, igualmente importante, o resto do mundo começam já a ficar claras, achei que era uma boa altura para finalmente trazer o tema ao podcast.    Nesta conversa com Lívia Franco, abordámos três aspectos essenciais para compreender a guerra e as suas implicações geopolíticas: Primeiro, as motivações da Rússia para a invasão.  Eu sei que este é um tema pisado e repisado, mas é mais complexo do que transparece da análise muitas vezes apressada das televisões, por isso vale a pena aprofundá-lo com a calma e profundidade que um podcast proporciona.  A verdade é que as motivações russas são complexas e difíceis de discernir. Há quem veja na invasão simplesmente a loucura de um déspota isolado pela pandemia, que vê neo-nazis em todo o lado. Mas essa explicação é, necessariamente, curta. Já todos vimos também a invasão ser descrita numa lógica mais consequente como a vontade de Putin em recuperar o território da antiga URSS; mas também é muitas vezes descrita como uma reacção à ameaça trazida pela suposta intenção da Nato de expandir a leste. Da mesma forma, há quem diga que a preocupação da cúpula russa está não tanto no território ou estritamente na ameaça bélica, mas sobretudo na aproximação dos governos e da política ucraniana nos últimos anos na direcção das democracias liberais ocidentais. E há mesmo quem sugira, como faz a convidada, que a guerra tem também a intenção de afirmar o poder russo num mundo a convergir para dois polos: EUA e China. Vale, por isso, a pena tentar perceber melhor estas explicações políticas e, sobretudo, o modo como se relacionam entre si. O segundo aspecto que abordámos na conversa é o passo seguinte: qual poderá ser o desfecho da guerra? Nesta altura, parece quase certo que nem a Rússia nem a Ucrânia irão poder cantar vitória e que o desfecho terá de decorrer, por isso, pela via negocial. E aí, que cedências, que compromissos poderão estar em cima da mesa? O que poderá ser aceitável para ambos os lados e, desejavelmente, dar alguma estabilidade geopolítica. E, finalmente, o terceiro tópico que discutimos, que está relacionado com este, é o mais importante de todos: que implicações terá esta guerra na Ordem Mundial?  A convidada lembra a certo ponto a famosa tese do cientista político norte-americano Francis Fukuyama, no seu livro de 1992, «O fim da História». Segundo esta tese, a queda da URSS, que acabava de ocorrer -- e, com ela, do modelo comunista -- trazia consigo a convergência do Mundo inteiro para a ordem liberal do modelo ocidental: com democracia, economia de mercado, defesa dos direitos humanos, respeito pela integridade territorial dos Estados e da auto-determinação dos povos. No meu livro, pego na tese de Fukuyama para mostrar que esta era demasiado optimista no que diz respeito à suposta superioridade prática das democracias, como tem ficado evidente com a expansão dos populismos este século.  Na nossa conversa, a convidada assinala como a tese de Fukuyama estava também errada na sua vertente geopolítica, uma vez que, apesar do sistema de instituições multilaterais que hoje existem, como a ONU, e da integração da economia mundial, ainda é possível a líderes autocráticos usar o seu poder e capacidade de acicatar sentimentos nacionalistas entre a população para invadir outros países, desrespeitando estes princípios.  A invasão da Ucrânia veio, assim, mostrar que esta expectativa era ingénua. Ao mesmo tempo, a acção da Rússia forçou os países, sobretudo aqueles com mais peso geopolítico, a porem as cartas na mesa: contra a Rússia (como a generalidade dos países ocidentais) ou a favor desta -- ou, pelo menos, assumindo uma postura ambígua, como países como a Índia têm tentado fazer. E o retrato que tem emergido é, aliás, menos harmonioso do que possa parecer aos olhos ocidentais, pois nem todos os países estão dispostos a alinhar na postura de condenação absoluta ao regime de Putin.  O que parece hoje quase certo é que a invasão da Ucrânia irá alterar a Ordem Mundial. Mas para onde? Segundo a convidada, a acção da Rússia, ao invés de dar um renovado peso na arena mundial pode, pelo contrário, precipitado a tendência que vinha ganhando forma este século: a emergência de um mundo bipolar dividido entre os EUA e a China.  _______________ Obrigado aos mecenas do podcast: João Teixeira, Gualter Agrochão, Ricardo Evangelista, Julie Piccini, Ana Raquel Guimarães Ricardo Santos, Bruno Heleno, Mário Teixeira, António Santos, bfdc, GalarÓ family, Manuel Canelas, Fernando Nunes, Luis Fernambuco, JosÉ LuÍs Malaquias, Francisco Hermenegildo, Nuno Costa, Abilio Silva, Salvador Cunha, Cesar Carpinteiro, Pedro Lima Ferreira, Miguel van Uden, JoÃo Ribeiro, Nuno e Ana, JoÃo Baltazar, Miguel Marques, Margarida Varela, Corto Lemos, Carlos Martins Tiago Leite, Tomás Costa, André Gamito, Isabel Moita, B Cortez, João Teixeira, Miguel Bastos, Ricardo Leitão, Tiago Taveira, Diogo Costa, AntÓnio Rocha Pinto, Ana Pina, Alberto Alcalde, GonÇalo Morgado, Joao Alves, Geoffrey Marcelino, Luis, Maria Pimentel, RB, Gabriel Sousa, Mário LourenÇo, Andreia Esteves, Ana Cantanhede Arune Bhuralal, Isabel Oliveira, Ana Teresa Mota, Francisco Fonseca, JoÃo Nelas, Tiago Queiroz, AntÓnio Padilha, Rita Mateus, Daniel Correia, Joao Saro, Pedro Gaspar, Dario Rodrigues, David Gil, Bernardo Pimentel, Tiago Parente, Emanuel Saramago, Daniel Pais, Miguel Jacinto, Luís Santos, Bernardo Pimentel, tati lima, Teresa Melvill de AraÚjo, FÁbio Videira Santos, Rui Martins, Helena Pinheiro, Tiago Agostinho, Miguel Jacinto, InÊs Ribeiro, Sofia Ferreira, JC Pacheco, Catarina Fonseca, Pedro On The Road, Carla Bosco, GonÇalo Baptista, Joana Pereirinha, ZÉ, JosÉ Fangueiro, Rita Noronha, Pedro RomÃo, JoÃo Pereira Amorim, SÉrgio Nunes, Telmo Gomes, Antonio Loureiro, Beatriz Bagulho, Tiago Stock, Gabriel Candal, FÁbio Monteiro, Joao Barbosa, Rita Sousa Pereira, HENRIQUE PEDRO, CloÉ Leal de MagalhÃes, Francisco Moura, Rui Antunes7, Joel, Pedro L, JoÃo Diamantino, Nuno Lages, JoÃo Farinha, Henrique Vieira, AndrÉ Abrantes, HÉlder Moreira, JosÉ Losa, JoÃo Ferreira, Rui Vilao, JoÃo Pereira, Goncalo Murteira Machado Monteiro, Luis Miguel da Silva Barbosa, Bruno Lamas, Diogo Rombo, Francisco L.

(Part 2 of 2) – In honor of Law Day on May 1st, we bring you special opening remarks from ABA President, Reginald Turner, along with the second half of our interview with Russia-Eurasia expert, Professor Angela Stent. Together with Elisa, Professor Stent continues to unpack the tangled history between Russia and Ukraine, and the resulting conflict that has dominated the world stage. What role does corruption play in the Russian military? And what are the scenarios in which this conflict may end?

In order to understand today's tensions between Russia and Ukraine, we have to start at the beginning. This week, host Elisa is joined by Russia-Eurasia expert, Professor Angela Stent, to unpack the tangled history between these two nations, and the resulting conflict that has dominated the world stage. How have the last two decades, and the rise of Vladimir Putin, altered the Russian-Ukrainian relationship? What is Ukraine's history with international partnerships and treaties? And why are Crimea and other assets along the Black Sea of such interest to Putin right now? Professor Angela Stent is Director of the Center for Eurasian, Russian & East European Studies at Georgetown University, and Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution: https://gufaculty360.georgetown.edu/s/contact/00336000014RWsfAAG/angela-stent References: Angela Stent, “Putin's World: Russia Against the West and with the Rest” Twelve, 2019: https://www.twelvebooks.com/titles/angela-stent/putins-world/9781455533015/ Angela Stent, “The Limits of Partnership: U.S.-Russian Relations in the Twenty-First Century” Princeton University Press, 2015: https://press.princeton.edu/books/paperback/9780691165868/the-limits-of-partnership The 1994 Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances: https://treaties.un.org/doc/Publication/UNTS/Volume%203007/Part/volume-3007-I-52241.pdf

Vladimir Putin was looking for a swift invasion that would halt Ukraine's drift toward the West, reveal NATO's fractures and weaknesses and solidify Russia as a global power. In response, the West threatened moderate sanctions, but ultimately showed little interest in stepping between Russia and Ukraine.Then came the war, and everything changed. Russia's invasion met with valiant Ukrainian resistance. President Volodymyr Zelensky became an international hero. NATO countries unified behind a truly punishing sanctions regime and significant military support. Russia's attack strengthened Ukraine's national identity — and its desire to join the European Union. A conflict that the U.S. and Europe were treating as purely strategic is now a conflict about the West's most fundamental values.Much of this has felt hopeful, even inspiring, to those watching from the comfort of home. But it has the potential to unleash a truly terrifying spiral of escalation. Putin, feeling backed into a corner, has raised the stakes. Last week, he called the West's sanctions akin to an act of war and has put Russia's nuclear arsenal on alert. And the global wave of support for Ukraine has made it increasingly difficult for Western leaders to de-escalate. In the fog of war, it isn't hard to imagine an accident or miscommunication that triggers a World War III-like scenario.So what does a settlement here look like? What does Putin want? What would Zelensky accept? What will Europe and the U.S. sign onto? Is there any deal that could work for all the players?There are few people better positioned to answer those questions than Fiona Hill. Hill is a senior fellow in the Center on the United States and Europe at the Brookings Institution. She served as deputy assistant to the president and senior director for European and Russian affairs on the National Security Council under Donald Trump and as a national intelligence officer for Russia and Eurasian affairs under Barack Obama and George W. Bush. And she is the co-author of the influential Putin biography “Mr. Putin: Operative in the Kremlin.”We discuss how Putin's motivations and ambitions have changed dramatically in the last decade, why Ukrainian identity is absolutely central to understanding this conflict, whether NATO expansionism is responsible for the current conflict, the different pathways the war could take, how political incentives have created a spiral of escalation for Russia, Ukraine and the West, whether the economic pain of the sanctions can incentivize regime change in Moscow, the possibility of China playing a mediating role in resolving the conflict, the dangers of backing Putin into a corner, whether Putin is willing to use nuclear weapons, what de-escalation could look like at this point, and much more.Mentioned: “Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin” by Timothy Snyder“Not One Inch: America, Russia and the Making of Post-Cold War Stalemate” by M.E.

Russia's continued military aggression towards Ukraine has become a full-blown humanitarian crisis. At the same time, energy prices are soaring as markets react to Russian oil and gas disruptions, including President Biden's announcement today to ban US imports of Russian oil.    The global energy ramifications of the conflict are profound. As a major oil and gas supplier – to Europe in particular – Russia has the power to weaponize its fossil fuels. And that has markets worried.  For a deeper look at how the Russia-Ukraine conflict is impacting energy markets globally, host Jason Bordoff speaks with two foreign policy experts on energy: Angela Stent and Meghan O'Sullivan.  Stent is senior adviser to the Center for Eurasian, Russian and East European Studies and professor emerita of government and foreign service at Georgetown University. She's published extensively on Russia-related foreign policy matters including “Putin's World: Russia Against the West and With the Rest.”  O'Sullivan is the Jeane Kirkpatrick Professor of the Practice of International Affairs and the director of the Geopolitics of Energy Project at Harvard University. She served as a national security advisor to President George W. Bush, and has written various books and articles on international affairs.  Together, they discuss the complex energy security and resource management challenges during this time. 

Vladimir Putin launches the largest land invasion in Europe since World War II and escalates the bombing of civilian targets. Led by its charismatic President Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukraine mounts a David-and-Goliath-style resistance that inspires the world. A surprisingly unified West imposes the most devastating sanctions package in history, isolating Russia and effectively cutting it off from the global economy. And across the globe, many are asking: Has Putin become unhinged? And what does that mean going forward? On this week's Power Vertical Podcast, host Brian Whitmore speaks with Georgetown University Professor and former U.S. State Department official Angela Stent, author of the book Putin's World: Russia Against the West and with the Rest, about the latest developments.

On this special "Twosday," we had the fortune of welcoming back two special guests for a discussion centered on Russia and the Ukraine and all the potential reverberations from the current conflict. Our first guest is Dr. Angela Stent, Senior Fellow at Brookings and one of the world's leading specialists on the Former Soviet Union, Russia, and Russia's relations with the West. In our discussion, we reference her most recent book, "Putin's World: Russia Against the West and With the Rest." Our second guest is our longtime friend, Dr. Dan Yergin, Vice Chairman at IHS Markit and Chairman of CERAWeek. Dan is the author of a number of seminal books on energy and in our discussion we also touch on Dan's latest book, "The New Map."Angela provided an excellent synopsis of how and why we got here to launch our conversation. My own personal summary would be an aggressive leader and an aggressive country sensed the time was now to press their agenda. We covered a whole range of important topics with Angela and Dan including Putin's potential master plan, what influenced Putin to start this, how Russia and China are increasingly working together, how this all effects the plans for energy transition, the impact of a potential Iran deal, why energy security is now firmly back on the table, and many other issues. In sum, Dan and Angela tag-teamed everything we threw their way and we came away much more informed. We are so grateful to visit with them both and appreciate them sharing their knowledge and expertise with us all!As always, our Veriten team kicked off the show: Mike Bradley shared an update on weekly energy performance, upcoming earnings, and his observations on Iranian sanctions vs. OPEC spare capacity vs. crude oil price. Colin Fenton chimed in with a satellite-based count of current global crude oil stocks and freight rates, a snapshot of Chinese-Russian oil flows, and an overview of the current Chinese market economy to prepare us for our global conversation.

On this episode, a discussion with experts Fiona Hill and Angela Stent on Russia's re-emergence as a great power after the Cold War ended, under the leadership of Vladimir Putin, and also more broadly on how economic change, deindustrialization, and other forces open doors for populist leaders to rise in places like Russia, and the United States and the United Kingdom as well, as we've seen in recent years. Stent is a nonresident senior fellow with the Center on the United States and Europe at Brookings and senior adviser to the Center for Eurasian, Russian and East European Studies and professor emerita of government and foreign service at Georgetown University. She is the author, most recently, of “Putin's World: Russia Against the West and with the Rest.” Fiona Hill, the Robert Bosch Senior Fellow in the Center on the United States and Europe, served from 2017 to 2019 as deputy assistant to the president and senior director for European and Russian Affairs on the National Security Council. Her most recent book is “There Is Nothing for You Here; Finding Opportunity in the Twenty-First Century.” Hill and Stent also talk about how their careers in Soviet and Russian studies got started, the rise of Putin's Russia, how social and economic decay can lead to the rise of populist leaders, and how to revive opportunity in America.

A few weeks ago, President Biden met with Russian President Putin in Geneva for their first summit. Since then, we have searched for a Russian expert - and wow, did we get lucky! We found Dr. Angela Stent, Director of the Center for Eurasian, Russian and East European Studies and Professor of Government and Foreign Service at Georgetown University. Dr. Stent is also a non-resident Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution. As excited as we were, it was even better than what we expected. Her background is so extensive (you may read her full biography here) and there is no angle she hasn't seen. Our discussion crossed many borders and we started with Dr. Stent's latest book, "Putin's World: Russia Against the West and With the Rest." From there, we learned about Putin's childhood, how Russia operates, how they might perceive the energy transition, the Tokyo Olympics, and importantly the relationship between the U.S., Russia and China. We had a wonderful time and can't thank Dr. Stent enough for sharing her knowledge with us.Our TPH crew had some topical items to prepare us for our Russian discussion: Mike Bradley opened with an OPEC+ meeting preview and also reviewed what has happened since their last meeting. Matt Portillo chimed in with a look at equity and natural gas outlook and demand through 2022. Colin Fenton summarized current conditions by pulling 5 main headlines over the past few weeks including Russia, solar, nuclear, climate law and geothermal.We want to sincerely thank Dr. Stent for her time and expertise. Thanks to you all! We hope you enjoy.​​​​----------Copyright 2021, Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co.

The oil war between Russia and Saudi Arabia has plunged energy markets into a freefall, threatening U.S. energy independence as many domestic producers are faced with bankruptcy. Is this another calculated challenge against the U.S. by Vladimir Putin? The guile and aggression of the Russian president has “resurrected Russia’s status as a force to be reckoned with,” says foreign policy expert Angela Stent, author of “Putin’s World: Russia Against the West and With the Rest.” Stent examines how Russian history formed this mercurial leader in what Kirkus Reviews calls “a compelling historico-psychological work.” Angela Stent is a former national intelligence officer and current director of the Center for Eurasian, Russian and East European Studies and professor of government and foreign service at Georgetown University. She is a Brookings Institution senior fellow and is an editorial board member of the Journal of Cold War Studies and the World Policy Journal.

Inside the Life and Power of Kim Jong Un (0:32)Guest: Anna Fifield, Beijing Bureau Chief, Washington Post, Author of “The Great Successor: The Divinely Perfect Destiny of Brilliant Comrade Kim Jong Un”North Korean leader Kim Jong Un ended 2019 with a threat to resume nuclear weapons and long-range missile testing. That's bad news for negotiations to end North Korea's nuclear program entirely. But President Trump says he's optimistic a deal could still happen. Two unprecedented summits between President Trump and Chairman Kim in 2019, heightened interest in just who the secretive leader of North Korea is and how he came to power at such a young age. Washington Post Beijing bureau chief Anna Fifield spent a decade tracking down the answers for her book, “The Great Successor.” It came out last year and led to one of our favorite interviews of 2019. The day I spoke with Fifield, news had broken that Kim Jong Un's older half-brother was a CIA informant before his assassination. (Originally aired June 14, 2019).  Pro-Democracy Protests Rock Moscow, but Putin Remains Unshaken (24:04)Guest: Angela Stent, Director of the Center for Eurasian, Russian and East European Studies and Professor of Government and Foreign Service at Georgetown University, Author “Putin's World: Russia Against the West and with the Rest”While America obsessed over the threat Russia poses to our politics and democracy, Russian President Vladimir Putin faced threats to his own power in 2019. Over the summer, there were large scale protests in Russia, particularly over the decision of Putin's political party to disqualify some opposition candidates from city council elections in Moscow. Even with that suppression, Putin's political allies went on to suffer embarrassing defeat in the Moscow elections. (Originally aired August 28, 2019).  China's Mass Incarceration of Muslim Uyghurs May Be a New Form of Ethnic Cleansing (37:27)Guest: Sean R. Roberts, Ph.D., Director and Associate Professor, International Development Studies Program, Elliott School of International Affairs, George Washington UniversityIn 2019, the world learned of a massive campaign of suppression and imprisonment in Western China. The Chinese Communist Government views a Muslim ethnic group called Uyghurs(Wee-gores) as a terrorist threat. The Uyghurs claim a portion of Western China as their indigenous homeland. The Chinese government disagrees and has placed millions of people in that region under intense surveillance. Up to a million Muslim Uyghurs are believed to have been imprisoned in the so-called “re-education camps” outside scholars have compared to the boarding schools where Native American youth were sent to be “re-educated.” (Originally aired July 5, 2019).  Baking Your Own Happiness (50:44)Guest: Michael Platt, Head Baker, and Spokesperson for Michaels Desserts and Danita Platt, Michael's Mother“People underestimate the power of kids in general, and they certainly underestimate our power to do something about big problems.” That's a clip from a TEDx talk Michael gave not long after we spoke on Top of Mind. The big problem he's decided to tackle? Hunger. He started his bakery Michaels Desserts two years ago–when he was 11. For every cupcake or cookie, he sells, he donates one to someone in need. (Originally aired August 13, 2019).  Hiring with No Questions Asked (1:06:42)Guest: Mike Brady, President, and CEO, Greyston BakeryFor people who have served time behind bars, it can be very difficult to get a job. But there's a commercial bakery in New York that opts simply not to ask any questions about the background of people who apply. They call it “open hiring.” Greyston Bakery is known for its brownies –you've had them on Delta flights and in Ben and Jerry's ice cream. (Originally aired January 7, 2019).  What Has Become of the Last Blockbuster on Earth (1:23:52)Guest: Sandi Harding, General ManagerThe world's last Blockbuster video store is in Bend, Oregon. Your kids have no idea what life was like before Netflix and Disney+, do they? Browsing the DVDs on a Friday night, looking for something to watch. You're probably wondering what Blockbuster has to do with people doing good. But the store has become a delightful blast of nostalgia for tourists, and manager Sandi Mann believes it's important for maintaining human connection. (Originally aired March 20, 2019).

Why Treatment of Women Is Crucial in War and PeaceGuest: Eric Jensen, Professor of International Law, BYU J. Reuben Clark Law SchoolA peace deal in Afghanistan appears imminent. The deal between the United States and the Taliban centers on withdrawing American troops from Afghanistan in exchange for a promise that the Taliban will prevent international terrorist groups from plotting on Afghan soil. And where does that leave the people of Afghanistan? In particular, the women who have enrolled in school and university and joined the workforce by the hundreds of thousands since the Taliban was forced out of Kabul in 2001? All of that was prohibited under Taliban rule. And today, women hold a larger share of seats in Afghanistan's National Assembly than they do in the US Congress Maryland Truth CommissionGuest: Joseline Pena-Melnyk, (Democrat), Member of the Maryland House of Delegates, Representing District 21During the late 1800s and early 1900s, more than 4,000 African Americans were murdered by lynch mobs across the US. Most of the killings were never prosecuted. And most happened in the South. But Maryland recently became the first state to create a statewide commission to investigate lynching. It's called the Maryland Lynching Truth and Reconciliation Commission. New Study Claims Majority of Antibiotics Prescribed from Dentists Are UnnecessaryGuest: Katie Suda, Associate Professor of Pharmacy Systems, Outcomes and Policy, University of Illinois at ChicagoMany people are afraid of the dentist, and for good reason –having someone else's hands in your mouth and having drilling done on your jaw is never a good time. But researchers are discovering that maybe we should be less afraid of what happens in the dentist chair and more afraid of the little slip of paper we often walk out with –an antibiotic prescription. Pro-Democracy Protests Rock Moscow, but Putin Remains UnshakenGuest: Angela Stent, Director of the Center for Eurasian, Russian and East European Studies and Professor of Government and Foreign Service, Georgetown University, Author “Putin's World: Russia Against the West and With the Rest”Since mid-July, people have been protesting in the streets of Moscow. Two weeks ago, as many as 50,000 people rallied calling for fair local elections. Protest organizers hope an even larger group will gather this weekend. They're focused on Moscow city elections schedule for September 9th. Vladimir Putin's powerful political party has blocked opposition candidates from appearing on the ballot.  A New Life-saving Treatment for EbolaGuest: Steven Hatch, Associate Professor of Infectious Diseases and Immunology, University of Massachusetts Medical SchoolThe World Health Organization has announced an important breakthrough in the ongoing Ebola crisis in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Researchers say they've found a treatment –some are event calling it a cure. Everyone with Ebola in the current outbreak will now be offered the new drugs. Worlds Awaiting: Reading eBooks Out LoudGuest: Rachel Wadham, host, Worlds Awaiting on BYUradio, Education and Juvenile Collections Librarian, BYU

Moscow is issuing contradictory and incredulous statements to characterize an explosion from a nuclear-powered engine meant to circumvent US missile defenses. The accident killed at least seven employees of Russia’s atomic energy agency and boosted radiation levels. On this encore edition of PCUSA, Angela Stent, professor of government and foreign service at Georgetown University, talks with host Carol Castiel and Danila Galperovich, a reporter in VOA’s Russia Service, about her new book, Putin’s World: Russia Against the West and with the Rest. It examines the rise of Russia in the post-Cold War era and how Vladimir Putin has moved the country in an increasingly authoritarian and autocratic direction.

Over the last decade, Russia has re-emerged as a powerful global player. In this week’s episode, we’re considering how President Vladimir Putin reinvigorated Russia's influence on the global stage and the potential impact of his future ambitions. Angela Stent,director of the center for Eurasian, Russian and East European studies at Georgetown University and author of the new book “Putin’s World: Russia Against the West and With the Rest,” discusses what Russian resurgence means for the world with WorldAffairs Co-Host Ray Suarez.

For decades, Donald Trump has cultivated Russian money and investment to keep his hotels and other business interests afloat. But as Trump was cultivating Russian money; Vladimir Putin's Russia was cultivating him. With Putin consolidating power at home and trying to revive Russia as a great power abroad, he faced a challenge: democracy. “Color revolutions” – pro-democracy uprisings - threatened Russia's rise and Putin's rule. He blamed the United States and sought to hit back where we were most vulnerable: our politics. Donald Trump became the perfect vehicle; the ideal asset. As Trump's campaign built up steam, Russia set up its own campaign to support him. These two campaigns shared the same goals, same tactics, and were in constant contact. In other words, these campaigns colluded. Since coming to office, Trump has continued to align himself with Putin, all while trying to obstruct the investigation into Russia's interference in the 2016 election and his own campaign's complicity in that effort. Host Max Bergmann is a veteran of the State Department who worked on sensitive military and national security issues under Secretaries of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and John Kerry. He now runs an initiative for the Center for American Progress Action Fund called The Moscow Project. For the past two years, he and his team have been examining Russia's interference in the 2016 election.Beginning with this trailer of The Asset, you will hear everything they have learned over the past two years to help you make sense of the biggest political scandal in American history, including elements of our exclusive interviews with:Tim O'Brien, Executive Editor of Bloomberg Opinion and author of Trump NationAngela Stent, Professor of Government and Foreign Service at Georgetown University and director of its Center for Eurasian, Russian, and East European Studies and author of Putin's World: Russia Against the West and with the RestLuke Harding, Foreign Correspondent for The Guardian and author of Collusion: Secret Meetings, Dirty Money, and How Russia Helped Donald Trump WinAsha Rangappa, former Special Agent for the FBI, specializing in counterintelligence investigations in New York City John Sipher, former member of the CIA's Senior Intelligence Service, Chief of Station and Deputy Chief of Station in Europe, Asia, and in high-threat environments, including Moscow David Corn Washington Bureau Chief for Mother Jones and co-author of Russian Roulette: The Inside Story of Putin's War on America and the Election of Donald TrumpSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
