Day 1,662.Today, the EU announces a ‘counter-hybrid playbook' and its own version of NATO's Article 4 after the worrying increase of hybrid incidents and attacks on Europe. The US indicts four Russian intelligence agents preparing acts of terrorism and assassinations across Europe and the US. Meanwhile, American lawmakers are set to vote on Lindsey Graham's Russian sanctions bill and President Zelensky claims that Moscow intentionally attacked Moldova.

David Waldman gets us to the middle of the week, and Greg Dworkin has GOT the polls! Polls really do mean something after Labor Day… Or is that when they become meaningless? Either way, polls are just numbers, a snapshot in time, a glance at the past rather than the future, not a prognostication, no guarantee... but darn it, they feel so nice… Polls don't mean a thing if they ain't got that swing. Even the Gop vote amid the biggest dweebs in 60 years seems to be sliding away from them. A fake $5 thousand won't buy Gop votes, although Sam Alito probably gets more than that. You don't need polls to understand where voters stand on AI & Flock, yet Dems are still afraid to run with that issue. Nonetheless, E. "No-Trump" Hansen found it difficult to be a single-issue candidate. Gop Tom Emmer will sell you ground beef for $2 a pound if you don't mind it's cut with bullshit. Thomas Massie introduced articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth… 8 articles, 34 pages, over an hour. Massie surprised his Gop bosses yesterday, so it was no surprise when Gops shut the place down today. They were finished rolling Mitch around anyhow. The House passed their War Powers Resolution, again and again, including the votes of a handful of Republicans. Donald K. Trump brokers peace in his mind with Putin and Zelensky. This puts him way ahead of SIL Jared Kushner, who still needs to actually travel and meet with the people screwing him in deals. Saudi Arabia bought every Trump they could find and still have buyer's remorse. Dr. Abdul El-Sayed could not debate one of the loser Gop Mikes, because that Gop Mike is a loser. Rudy Giuliani wanted to debate him but only had the courage to tweet.

Silicon Bites Ep401 | 2026-09-16 | Trump announced a truce that nobody had agreed to. As if uttering the lie loudly and demonstratively would make it so. This little authoritarian trick is wearing thin. Hours later Ukraine burned the AVT-6 unit at a Rosneft refinery — and Russia burned two Kyiv petrol stations. There is no truce. Never was and is very unlikely to be one until Putin snuffs it. The problem is that only one side's act of violence is being treated in Washington as a problem. And of course, the problem according to Trump is the victim defending themselves, lawfully. Trump is an abuser, and a grifter, and so will always politically and psychologically side with the aggressor, a fellow abuser, the bully and parasite. This is the world he is comfortable with. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

Zelensky Hits Russian Diesel Despite Trump_s Warning by Ron Paul Liberty Report

Day 1,661.Today, the Danish Prime Minister condemns the latest ‘reckless action' by Moscow, after a Russian frigate in the Baltic Sea fired flares at a military helicopter. NATO jets were also in action last night, shooting down a drone over Lithuania. The Ukrainian commander who masterminded the recent counterattack in the Donbas region gives a little more detail about what happened. And in news that will surprise almost no one, Donald Trump's claim to have got a deal over the line between Kyiv and Moscow about a ceasefire on energy facilities has, just like Russia's Syzran oil facility last night, gone up in smoke. Later, Dom speaks to the mother of a man missing on the frontline after being forced to fight for Russia.Contributors: Francis Dearnley (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @FrancisDearnley on X.Dominic Nicholls (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @DomNicholls on X.With thanks to Valerie Stobbart.Producer: Phil AtkinsSenior Producer: Lilian FawcettVideo Producer: Sophie O'SullivanSocial Producer: Tom SteedStudio Director: Meghan SearleExecutive Editor: Francis DearnleyCreated by David KnowlesNOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.

COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN - SEASON 5, EPISODE 5 A-Block (SPECIAL COMMENT) - Hey, yeah, sorry, we forgot to mench...before U.S. servicemen were killed at a base in Jordan, Iran got satellite images of the facility from "Chinese entities" according to The Wall Street Journal. Nobody's saying it's the GOVERNMENT so end of story, especially if you have the IQ of a Trump. Use your brain: Iran didn't buy these on eBay - there's only one kind of Chinese "Entity" - a Chinese GOVERNMENT Entity. Ten days before he's supposed to entertain Chinese Dictator Xi at the White House, Trump is on the losing end of a war with Iran (assists: China, Russia) and naturally Xi is threatening to cancel it because we're selling Taiwan nation-saving weapons. China knows Trump is useless, weak, imbecilic. As, obviously, does Putin, who is now threatening Kiev-to-Warsaw trains as they near the Polish border and Trump is blaming Zelensky because Diesel prices because Trump cannot understand people, only money. Thank god the president of Ireland, Catherine Connolly, made Trump sit at the kids' table yesterday. Literally. All this while A.I. might destroy all of humanity. All of humanity? So Trump is safe? B-Block (30:00) (MORE SPECIAL COMMENT) - The good news is, MAGA is slipping from a close second to extinction levels in all polling, polling analysis, and on the campaign trail. Jon Ossoff called Trump a draft-dodger but reserved worse remarks for his opponent, Mike Collins. Turns out Jon Karl and vandals didn't destroy the Lincoln Reflecting Pool remodeling - the contractor did, and confessed. And 25 years later and Ari Fleischer is still lying for George W. Bush, and as usual, managing to only make him look worse. C-Block (50:00) (THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL) - I put no weight in dreams as prophesy. Maybe as messages to yourself. But I don't mind telling you I was reminded of the breadth of the failure of cable and broadcast news in this time of institutional collapse, when my late friend Tim Russert showed up in a dream.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's Headlines: Trump skipped the 9/11 memorial ceremony in New York to fall asleep at the Pentagon's 9/11 ceremony. He then flew to Ireland where the Irish president seated him behind a notably small desk, protests featured an inflatable Trump being inflatable-Netanyahu'd in the streets, and he called Irish reunification "fantastic" and "a cool thing," breaking 28 years of official US neutrality on an issue that has historically caused quite a bit of conflict. This landed at an awkward moment given that Northern Ireland, Wales, and Scotland are meeting today to discuss potentially dissolving the United Kingdom entirely. Trump also lunged at ABC reporter Rachel Scott when she asked about his $5,000 check promise and pointed out the national debt is $40 trillion, the White House called journalist Aaron Rupar a "sick, deluded freak" for noting Natalie Harp was in Ireland, and Trump blamed Zelensky for global energy prices and told him to stop hitting Russian diesel. It was quite the weekend for the President. While we're on that, a Russian drone strike near the Polish border may have targeted a train carrying Boris Johnson and David Petraeus, prompting air raid warnings in Poland. In other news, An American diplomat accused of possessing child sex abuse material was quietly flown out of London on a secret military flight before police could question him. France expanded its Epstein investigation, identifying 13 new potential victims and multiple potential recruiters, one of whom was found dead in his home right before he was set to be questioned. On AI, Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and Dario Amodei all posted this weekend calling for AI regulation and a slowdown — simultaneously — very sketchy. And finally, ectopic pregnancy deaths have nearly doubled since the pandemic and increased even more in states with abortion bans, and Texas responded by simply deciding not to analyze maternal mortality data from 2022 and 2023 — the years the abortion ban went into effect — making it impossible to measure its impact.

Blames Zelensky

President Donald Trump van Amerika het sy Oekraïnse ampsgenoot, Volodymyr Zelensky, gevra om aanvalle op Russiese diesel-raffinaderye te staak en sê dit veroorsaak ʼn wêreldwye tekort. Kiëf val Moskou se olie- en gasbedryf met langafstand-wapens aan, wat gelei het tot rantsoenering en dat Moskou in Julie diesel-uitvoere verbied het. Rusland het die afgelope weke sy lugaanvalle verskerp, en gebruik ballistiese missiele en straal-aangedrewe hommeltuie om Oekraïne se kragnetwerk te teiken. Trump sê daar is baie ander teikens wat Zelensky kan tref:

For about a year, NYU mathematician Tristan Buckmaster and a researcher at Anthropic had been working on an obscure approach to one of the famous Clay Institute "millennium prize" problems (with $1 million on the line)—running their drafts through private OpenAI Codex sessions hosted on OpenAI's servers. When a step forward emerged (a result related to "blow-up" in the Euler equations of fluid dynamics), accusations flew that OpenAI's model had essentially "copied their homework"—learning from their private work and then producing the result itself. The host uses it to open up what he thinks is the defining debate of the era: when you collaborate with an AI, and it helps you reach an insight you genuinely pushed it toward, who owns the result? He walks through the emerging solutions—Alex Karp of Palantir's "put something in the middle" approach, versus self-hosting an open-source model behind your own servers with your own tuned "weights" so your inputs stay proprietary even as the world uses your outputs. He's candid that he's genuinely torn: as someone building his own project (Kaizen), he admits feeling the impulse to keep some paths secret for a six-month lead, while also arguing that since AI was trained on all of humanity, there's an obligation to keep letting it aggregate humanity's breakthroughs—especially in a field like medicine, where he shares a personal story about a family member's cancer and how siloed, firewalled medical data made coordination nearly impossible. His most provocative point is psychological: that the reason people aren't celebrating even a real (if modest) step forward is a raw human fear of being made to feel irrelevant—that "I can't let it be the AI that did this." He closes on his recurring throughline: rather than running to the government to regulate AI (which he thinks would hurt the open-source models that are the real check on Big AI), the open market and open source should be allowed to solve this—letting young upstarts protect their proprietary "weights" and compete, so a handful of giant companies can't hoard the breakthroughs.The team breaks down a sharp escalation in the Iran conflict and maps how it connects to a much bigger global picture. The immediate news: an intensifying tanker war in the Strait of Hormuz, with the IRGC claiming its largest attack of the war (striking multiple vessels and claiming hits on US destroyers), the US reportedly sinking eight Iranian oil tankers over four days, and Iran launching 20 ballistic missiles at a US base in Jordan—of which Jordan says 18 were intercepted and two hit empty desert, with no casualties reported. The host stresses a key caveat: with the IRGC claiming major damage and the Pentagon denying it, the truth is genuinely murky, and neither side's account should be taken at face value. He reads the "2-for-1" retaliation pattern and Rubio's "shoot at our ships and you lose tankers" posture as a deliberate US strategy of disproportionate response—while flagging the real risk that Iran is trying to bait the US into depleting munitions it may need for two other potential fights: a cornered, economically flailing Germany squaring off with a declining Russia, and the looming US-China collision. From there he lays out his central framework: that the US and China are two "wounded animals," both the largest economies, both feeling a narrow window, both pressing—China racing to divorce from the dollar (he floats his own contested theory that they may back the yuan with gold), reshore chip-making, and potentially move on Taiwan by 2027, because the deeper prize underneath everything is AI, and AI runs on chips. He argues energy undergirds the entire board, which is why the Strait, the Houthi attacks on Saudi oil infrastructure, OPEC fracturing, and the Venezuela play all matter, and offers his read on why the US actually entered Iran (securing GCC capital for the AI bet, under the banner of non-proliferation). He's candid about which parts are his interpretation, flags his gold-backed-yuan idea as highly contested, and lands on his recurring throughline: a multipolar world is coming, and the real question is what kind of "overlord" order the world ends up choosing—one you can vote out, or one you can't.The team connects a series of escalating global stories that the host argues are increasingly becoming one convergent conflict. First, Iran: the Revolutionary Guard reportedly fired hypersonic ballistic missiles at a US aircraft carrier and a guided-missile destroyer in the Strait of Hormuz—a dramatic escalation from base and drone attacks—with both ships evading and no Americans hurt, after which US forces struck and reportedly sank Iranian oil tankers. The host frames a country as most dangerous when it's weakest, and notes Bessent's argument that Iran is running out of the pre-purchased Chinese oil money keeping it afloat, meaning the coming months could get more dangerous before any off-ramp. Second, Europe: reports that Germany is moving toward direct conflict with Russia (closing Russian consulates, restricting entry after a drone incident), which could trigger NATO and pull in the US—complicated by the rise of Germany's AfD party (now reportedly the second-largest, around 23% to the leading party's ~30%), which has floated exiting the EU. Third, diplomacy: Witkoff and Kushner arriving to broker talks, with a reported 72-hour agreement between Putin and Zelensky not to strike each other's capitals (though front-line fighting continues and a broader ceasefire was rejected)—the host cautiously optimistic given their Abraham Accords track record, while noting their recent results have been thinner. Fourth, the US-Venezuela deal versus China, which claims its own competing, "internationally protected" interest there—prompting the host's blunt aside that "international law" is really just a function of who holds the most power. And finally, the bigger economic picture: a Nordic country reportedly selling ~$80B in US Treasuries, central banks buying gold in historic amounts (with gold reportedly overtaking US debt as the top reserve asset), and the resurfaced Ray Dalio warning about what happens when an empire has to start buying its own debt. The host's throughline: the US has a real opportunity—if it rebuilds a genuine moral center, restores fiscal discipline, and competes with China by being genuinely better for partner nations (Venezuela being the key test)—but the window is closing, and a multipolar world can deliver either the benefits of real competition or the dangers of everyone violently choosing sides.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In the wake of Zelensky's warning about Russian airspace safety, risk expert Matt Borie returns to the podcast to discuss the effect of drone activity on civil aviation, conflict zone impacts on commercial air transport and more.

In this episode of the 47 Morning Update w Ben Ferguson, Ben discusses Chris Coons’ remarks about American leadership, debate the role of Volodymyr Zelensky on the world stage, examine Democratic positions on ICE and immigration enforcement, and analyze reports involving CARE Action, the Unity and Justice Fund, and support for candidates including Abdul El-Sayed. They also explore campaign fundraising, voter mobilization efforts, and what these developments could mean for the 2026 midterm elections. A clip from Chris Coons arguing that America is “no longer the leader of the free world” and pointing to Volodymyr Zelensky as a leading figure for freedom becomes the launching point for a broader discussion about Democratic messaging, immigration policy, and the political stakes of the 2026 election cycle.The conversation also examines comments from Chris Coons regarding ICE enforcement, government funding battles, and the role immigration policy is expected to play in upcoming campaigns. The hosts argue that these issues highlight a deeper divide over national identity, public safety, and voter priorities. Topics Covered: Chris Coons’ comments on whether America remains the leader of the free world. Debate over Volodymyr Zelensky’s role and international leadership during the war in Ukraine. ICE enforcement, immigration policy, and Senate funding disputes. CARE Action and the Unity and Justice Fund’s political organizing and fundraising efforts.

Day 1,656.Today, there are reports President Zelensky's plane taking him to Norway yesterday may have been the target of the Russian drone that crashed in Moldova. Then, Ukraine is ensuring the war is brought home to previously untouched parts of Russia, as its latest long range drone strike hit Siberia, 3000km inside the country. Kyiv claims it was the longest drone strike in history. Meanwhile, Putin's folly means his country has now passed the grim milestone of killing or wounding one percent of its entire population and there are question marks over the future diplomatic role for Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. And later, Dom and Alex dive into the postbag to answer your questions.Contributors:Dominic Nicholls (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @DomNicholls on X.Alex Nichol (Telegraph Journalist).Producer: Rachel PorterSenior Producer: Lilian FawcettVideo Producer: Tom SteedSocial Producer: Anita BlayStudio Director: Meghan SearleExecutive Editor: Francis DearnleyCreated by David KnowlesNOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.

Silicon Bites Ep397 | 2026-09-10 | Putin switched the terror off, in Kyiv at least, for a short period of time, and across a narrow corridor of space. Once more demonstrating that he has full control over the taps of terror – he can turn them on and off at will. The zombie empire that Russia has become is entirely tuned to his pathological will, and like a loyal, murderous machine it faithfully carries out his orders to inflict murder and mayhem, pain and destruction. Only by eliminating Putin is there any hope of ending this slaughter. This should be clear to all but apparently is not. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

Monica Guerzoni racconta il duello tra maggioranza e opposizione sull'introduzione (nella legge elettorale in discussione al Senato) della possibilità di votare o meno i candidati in lista. Viviana Mazza parla del discorso in cui il presidente Usa si è detto pronto a dare 5.000 dollari a ogni americano in caso di vittoria alle elezioni di midterm. Marta Serafini ricostruisce la vicenda del presunto attentato contro l'aereo del leader ucrainoLegge elettorale in Senato: bocciato l'emendamento del Pd sulle preferenze, la maggioranza si ricompattaTrump, show a Dallas: «Se vinciamo le elezioni di midterm, darò 5.000 dollari a ogni americano»L'aereo di Zelensky «quasi colpito da un drone» in Moldavia: l'allarme, l'ipotesi attentato. Ecco cosa è successo

Il presidente ucraino Volodimyr Zelensky apre alla trattativa con i russi su grano ed energia, ma a patto che anche Mosca faccia passi avanti. Vedrà Donald Trump il prossimo 20 settembre, ha già chiesto missili per la difesa dei cieli ucraini. In Israele il primo ministro Benjamin Netanyahu si difende: Haaretz mente, non ho mai avuto colloqui col presidente degli Emirati arabi uniti in cui sono stato avvisato di una grossa operazione di Hamas, quello che poi si è rivelato essere il 7 ottobre 2023. E querela il quotidiano, che per parte sua sottolinea: colloqui di 45 minuti con apparecchiatura criptata. Infine la space economy: rapporto Ocse, l'Italia è leader in Europa con 350 aziende e investimenti da record. Il ministro delle imprese e Made in Italy Adolfo Urso: vogliamo rendere il settore più aperto anche ad accordi internazionali. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today's Headlines: It was a wild Labor Day weekend for Trump who spent the holiday posting AI images of himself as the Hulk, on the moon, with George Washington, and a map renaming New Mexico to "New America" and stepped off Air Force One as a brunette. Meanwhile, Tweedles Dum and Dee, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff visited Kyiv for peace talks with Zelensky, raved about how respectful Putin has been to them personally, and promised announcements "in the coming weeks" before winter. In semi-related news, the Russia backed far-right AFD party won a landslide in Germany's Saxony-Anhalt regional election with 78% turnout, forming the first far-right state government since the original Nazis, with two more German regional elections coming September 20th. Canada's 50% retaliatory tariffs on over 700 American imports went into effect at midnight, doubling what they already had in place, because liberation day is the gift that keeps on giving. In disturbing news, the Tate brothers, picked up another set of Romanian indictments for trafficking minors, money laundering, and witness intimidation while sitting in Florida custody awaiting potential extradition to the UK, and seven Epstein survivors sued hairstylist Frederic Fekkai — named by Massie last week — alleging his salon was the "epicenter for victim grooming," with one of his locations inside a store owned by Les Wexner, also named by Massie, so the connections keep connecting. And finally, Hunter Biden announced a meme coin called $LAPTOP launching on Coinbase, with 20% of proceeds going to people who lost money on Trump's meme coin, which is something.

AOC gets asked a simple question with enormous consequences: should Benjamin Netanyahu be arrested if he lands in the United States while an ICC warrant hangs over him? We unpack why her cautious answer lands like a warning flare for the 2028 election, especially with younger Democratic voters who want clear accountability, a real break from blank-check military aid, and an end to rhetorical gymnastics about international law. Then we shift to the right, where J.D. Vance's supposed non-interventionist image runs into a wall of donor politics and hardline messaging about Iran and Israel. We talk through what his Republican Jewish Coalition remarks suggest about where the party is headed, why “no new wars” branding keeps collapsing into escalation, and how the pro-Israel lobby can punish even friendly politicians who do not deliver everything it demands. If you care about U.S. foreign policy, the U.S.-Israel relationship, and the political incentives that keep Washington locked into the same playbook, this part connects the dots. The middle of the show turns grim and specific: U.S. strikes on Iran, reports of civilians killed, and a new embrace of “mowing the lawn” as a strategy for periodic bombing and permanent war. We dig into why that approach fails against a fortified state, how retaliation and the Strait of Hormuz can hit Americans through gas prices and supply shocks, and why escalation can push adversaries toward nuclear deterrence. We close with Ukraine, where Zelensky's warning about Russian airspace and civilian aviation raises stakes that touch international law, global travel, and the risk of catastrophic miscalculation.

Recording from his in laws house on Labor Day, Ghost breaks down the biggest diplomatic weekend in months. Kushner and Witkoff spent three hours with Putin in Moscow, then flew straight to Kyiv to meet Zelensky, and Ghost walks through what a former Austrian foreign minister and a former Bush and Clinton trade advisor both made of it. He also unpacks Scott Bessent's awkward sideline meeting with Russia's finance minister at the G20, connects rising gas prices to what he calls software warfare, and pulls apart a leaked Financial Times map showing Ukraine potentially carved up between Poland, Hungary and Romania. From there it is Germany closing Russian consulates in a tit for tat spat, and Germany quietly signing on for Israel's Iron Dome, built at, of all places, a Volkswagen factory. Ghost has thoughts about the historical irony there. A dense, fast moving catch up.

In Episode 496 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with Yaroslav Trofimov, Ukrainian-born chief foreign affairs correspondent for The Wall Street Journal and author of Our Enemies Will Vanish, about the Russia-Ukraine war, CIA director John Ratcliffe's recent visit to Moscow, and the growing risk that Russia will escalate beyond Ukraine's borders to test NATO's Article 5, how America's entanglement in the Middle East has depleted Western missile reserves and emboldened the Kremlin, turmoil inside Zelensky's government, China's role in prolonging a war it wants neither side to win, and the deepening fracture in the transatlantic alliance. Yaroslav and Demetri begin their conversation by trying to make sense of the war — its origins, its stakes, and the prospects for its near-term conclusion. They assess claims related to the CIA director's recent trip to Moscow, the form that any potential Russian attack on NATO could take, and what the Europeans can do to try to stop it. They also discuss the political turmoil surrounding a recent shakeup in President Zelensky's cabinet, claims of corruption, and whether Western countries can be expected to continue supporting Ukraine amid declining public support for the war and mounting political resistance movements led by Europe's far-right parties.  The second hour examines Western strategic thinking and the widening schism between Washington and the capitals of Europe's largest countries. They discuss why Yaroslav believes the West's difficulties begin with a flawed diagnosis of the war based on the comforting assumption that this is a fight over territory in the Donbas rather than a contest over the future of Europe, the ideological sympathy many on the right feel toward Moscow, the nature and limits of China's support for Russia, how the war against Iran is reshaping the strategic battlefield by consuming Washington's attention and roughly half of US Patriot and THAAD interceptor reserves while bolstering Russian oil revenues, the implications for Taiwan and US allies in the Pacific, and why Europe increasingly views America not merely as an unreliable ally but as a potential strategic threat—a shift that may have mortally wounded the transatlantic relationship as it has existed since the end of World War II.

In de Duitse deelstaat Saksen-Anhalt behaalt de Alternative für Deutschland een historische verkiezingszege met 43,8% van de stemmen en wordt veruit de grootste partij. De CDU van bondskanselier Merz halveert naar 17,2%, waardoor de vorming van een nieuwe Landesregierung en de keuze voor een minister-president nu volledig in het teken staan van de vraag hoe om te gaan met een partij die door veiligheidsdiensten als extreemrechts wordt bestempeld. In Kiev spreken Amerikaanse gezanten Steve Witkoff en Jared Kushner met president Zelensky na eerdere gesprekken met Poetin in Moskou, maar een doorbraak richting een einde van de oorlog blijft uit. Volgens Witkoff zijn er ‘bemoedigende aanknopingspunten’, maar grote hindernissen rond grondgebied en veiligheidsgaranties maken dat Oekraïne, Rusland, de VS en Europese landen voorlopig alleen afspreken verder te praten. Minister van Klimaat en Groene Groei Stientje van Veldhoven waarschuwt voor sterk oplopende gasprijzen bij een strenge winter, terwijl het kabinet overweegt het vuldoel van 80% voor gasopslagen te verlagen. Energie-expert Rene Peters van TNO wijst op Europese solidariteitsverplichtingen en adviseert huishoudens een langetermijncontract af te sluiten, omdat de wereldmarkt voor LNG en concurrentie met landen als Duitsland en Engeland de prijs verder kunnen opstuwen.

I start with a round-up of current news stories: the Witkoff-Kushner peace mission that is likely heading nowhere, Zelensky's apparent threat to civil aviation that was likely more psyop than serious, and the SCO summit in Bishkek that was likely more significant than either of the above. (And medieval counterfeiting, for good measure...)In the second half, I look at Russia's drone strike on the SBU HQ in Kyiv and the signs of a SBU-GUR rivalry, driven by both politics and also the thriving criminal call centre fraud industry.The podcast's corporate partner and sponsor is Conducttr, which provides software for innovative and immersive crisis exercises in hybrid warfare, counter-terrorism, civil affairs and similar situations.You can also follow my blog, In Moscow's Shadows, and become one of the podcast's supporting Patrons and gain question-asking rights and access to exclusive extra materials including the (almost-) weekly Govorit Moskva news briefing right here. Support the show

Sau hơn bảy năm cầm quyền, bốn năm rưỡi chiến tranh với Nga và một loạt vụ bê bối liên quan đến đội ngũ lãnh đạo cùng những người thân cận, Zelensky dường như đang đánh mất sự ủng hộ chính trị của đất nước. Các cuộc thăm dò công bố vào đầu tháng 8 cho thấy tâm trạng trong xã hội Ukraine đã thay đổi đáng kể: nhiều người không còn tin tưởng Zelensky và sẵn sàng loại ông khỏi chức tổng thống ngay khi có cơ hội bỏ phiếu.Xem thêm.

A.M. Edition for Sept. 3. The U.S. is extending its troop deployments to the Middle East well into 2027, putting the prospects of an end to the Iran war further away. WSJ's Jared Malsin and Matt Dalton explain what that means for the troops, the U.S. war effort and energy price-driven inflation. Plus, Russia gains the upper hand in Ukraine, with a barrage of new drones. And Uber's global robotaxi push faces a litmus test on the mean streets of London. Luke Vargas hosts.

Day 1,649Today, as every scheduled flight this afternoon from two of Moscow's major airports are delayed or cancelled, Ukraine seeks international approval for all flights in Russian airspace to be grounded. Marco Rubio confirms talks with Ukraine about Patriot licenses are ongoing, just as NATO reveals it's been secretly testing Israeli ballistic missiles on German frigates. Plus, there was a suspected arson attack on an arms factory in Germany last night, just hours before Denmark's intelligence agency warned Russia is 'actively' preparing acts of sabotage.

Jon Herold and Burning Bright open with some personal banter (mystery health scares, homeschooling law rabbit holes) before landing on the real meat of the episode: Russia getting invited back to the G20 for the first time since the Ukraine war started. The guys walk through why that timing lines up suspiciously well with CIA Director Ratcliffe's recent trip to Moscow, and what it might signal about where the Ukraine conflict is actually headed. There's a deep dive into the mixed messaging coming out of the administration, sanctions talk that doesn't quite match the rhetoric, and speculation about Trump, Zelensky, and Putin edging toward some kind of resolution despite public posturing suggesting otherwise. An older Zelensky extortion allegation also gets revisited for context. As always, it's a mix of geopolitical connect the dots and the hosts talking each other in and out of theories in real time.

Day 1,648.Today, the market is already reacting to President Zelensky's warning last night that Russian airspace is now "completely unsafe” thanks to Ukrainian drones, with some flights cancelled. We report August's statistics from the ground in Ukraine, which don't end well for Putin, or the over 40,000 soldiers who became casualty statistics of their own. We assess the reaction to Nato member Germany officially naming Russia as the perpetrator of the Leipzig-Halle drone attack and we look at the support Russia is said to be giving to Iran; a direct threat to the United States. Later, we hear from journalist Annie Jacobsen on her new book detailing how biological warfare could break out entirely by accident.Contributors: Dominic Nicholls (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @DomNicholls on X.Alex Nichol (Telegraph Journalist).Sophie O'Sullivan (Telegraph Journalist).With thanks to Annia Jacobsen, author of Biological War: A Scenario.Senior Producer: Lilian FawcettVideo Producer: Sophie O'SullivanSocial Producer: Anita BlayStudio Director: James EnglandExecutive Editor: Francis DearnleyCreated by David KnowlesNOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.

Ukraine's President, Volodymyr Zelensky, has ordered an investigation after a Russian airstrike detonated munitions kept in warehouse close to a residential area outside Kyiv, killing dozens of people. Mr Zelensky said it was "horrific negligence" to store explosives near civilians. Meanwhile, rescue efforts continue in Nepal and Tibet, where a glacial collapse caused flooding and landslides; and the former home secretary, Sir James Cleverly, has announced he will stand to become the next London mayor.

Day 1,643.Today, an hours-long drone and missile attack on Kyiv overnight as Russia continues its push on three key towns in the fortress belt in the East. But in some welcome news, Ukraine appears to have repelled Putin's forces north of Lyman in a secret counterattack. Plus, the real reason for CIA director John Ratfcliffe's visit to Moscow this week, and President Zelensky's top aid says Ukraine and Russia could hold talks as soon as September. Then Francis reports from Germany, where elections could trigger a dramatic shift in the country's defence policy. Meanwhile Friedrich Merz's government considers investing in Britain's nuclear programme to bolster Europe's deterrent against Moscow.Contributors:Adelie Pojzman-Pontay (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @Adeliepjz on X.Francis Dearnley (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @FrancisDearnley on X.James Rothwell (Berlin Correspondent). @JamesERothwell on X.Producer: Rachel PorterSenior Producer: Lilian FawcettVideo Producer: James England and Hana KellySocial Producer: Tom SteedStudio Director: Meghan SearleExecutive Editor: Francis DearnleyCreated by David KnowlesNOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.

Ukraine's President, Volodymyr Zelensky, has fired one of his top aides, who is reported to be the target of a corruption investigation. Iryna Mudra, the president's deputy chief of staff, was sacked after Ukraine's anti-corruption agency said it had raided the homes of a senior official on Wednesday morning. Meanwhile the former defence minister, Mykhailo Fedorov - whose removal last month prompted widespread street protests - has called for elections. Also: Israel opens up bids for construction of more than 1,000 new homes east of Jerusalem, that would contravene international law. We hear from Gaza about families searching for their relatives - some of the thousands of people missing presumed dead in the conflict with Israel.
