Peter Rough, Director of the Hudson Institute's Center on Europe and Eurasia, joins Michael to discuss why time may be running out for Russia in its war on Ukraine. He argues that tighter international sanctions enforcement and increased U.S. weapons and intelligence support could begin to squeeze the Kremlin as early as late this year, as the economic costs of the war mount. This comes as the dog days of summer in Ukraine wear on without any fundamental shifts in the conflict.

Edition No178 | 04-07-2025 - Earlier this year, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson conducted an interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin—a move that drew swift condemnation, not just from pro-democracy advocates, but also from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. "He works for Putin," Zelenskyy declared in a direct rebuke, calling Carlson's rhetoric nothing less than propaganda laundering for Moscow. He has a point. Carlson has become the most vociferous, unfiltered and effective megaphone for Russian disinformation in the Western world. But outside of the US he has little impact. But how toxic is his impact within the US? And might his views have helped to inform the decision to withdraw US military support to Ukraine? .----------DESCRIPTIONThe Role of Tucker Carlson in Spreading Kremlin Propaganda | Silicon BitesIn this episode of Silicon Bites, we're examining Tucker Carlson's role in propagating Russian disinformation. Through interviews with Vladimir Putin and framing controversial narratives, Carlson has become a significant voice for Kremlin-aligned messages in the West. This deep dive explores how his rhetoric may have influenced the US's recent withdrawal of military support to Ukraine and what this means for international relations. We also discuss the broader implications of such disinformation campaigns and their impact on the global stage, particularly in the context of the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia.----------CHAPTERS00:00 Introduction and Episode Overview00:51 Tucker Carlson's Controversial Interview with Putin02:08 Debunking Carlson's Claims on Ukraine03:21 Carlson's Interview with Ukrainian Oligarch06:37 Carlson's Propaganda and Influence11:34 Trump's Involvement and Secret Talks14:47 Conclusion: The Stakes for Ukraine----------LINKS: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/zelensky-tucker-carlson-putin-russia-b2692257.htmlhttps://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/tucker-carlson-putin-zelensky-b2711134.htmlhttps://unn.ua/en/news/tucker-carlson-again-spreads-a-refuted-fake-about-the-sale-of-ukrainian-weapons-to-mexican-cartelshttps://www.foxnews.com/video/6368078173112https://www.foxnews.com/world/zelenskyy-warns-peace-talks-without-ukraine-dangerous-after-trump-claims-meetings-russia-going-wellhttps://www.foxnews.com/world/trump-no-one-else-can-end-ukraine-russia-war-us-ally-sayshttps://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-plans-meet-zelenskyy-he-looks-end-ukraine-warhttps://nypost.com/2025/02/10/us-news/trump-says-ukraine-has-essentially-agreed-to-allow-the-us-access-to-500b-in-rare-earth-minerals/https://kyivindependent.com/he-works-for-putin-zelensky-slams-tucker-carlsons-pro-russian-commentary/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/business/media/fox-red-seat-ventures.htmlhttps://lansinginstitute.org/2025/05/29/orthodoxy-and-propaganda-analyzing-tucker-carlsons-interview-with-vadim-novinsky/----------Car for Ukraine has once again joined forces with a group of influencers, creators, and news observers during this summer.

Edition No177 | 03-07-2025 - Today we examine what is known so far about the back to back phone calls involving Trump and Putin, Putin and Macron, and the forthcoming call with Zelenskyy, and as well and the backdrop of topics happening in the last days and week. The halting of weapons shipments to Ukraine, and the restatement of Putin's maximalist war aims. Does the future of Ukraine hang by a thread, or did they foresee these complications and the abandonment of their cause by the Trump administration. I suspect that what's happening is not a huge surprise, or such a strategic shock.----------LINKS: [ft.com](https://www.ft.com/content/edac806d-5ece-439f-91a8-9769db5828b6?utm_source=chatgpt.com)[theguardian.com](https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2025/jul/03/europe-heatwave-live-news-latest-updates-crete-wildfire?utm_source=chatgpt.com)[reuters.com](https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/us-halts-some-missile-shipments-ukraine-over-low-stockpiles-politico-reports-2025-07-01/?utm_source=chatgpt.com)----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

Israel kills over 100 Palestinians in Gaza "Israel has killed more than 100 Palestinians in last 24 hours, including many aid seekers, and wounded hundreds others in besieged Gaza. Meanwhile,the UN agency for Palestinian refugees has warned that Palestinians in Gaza face a severe water crisis threatening them with death from thirst, as Israeli strikes and fuel restrictions have crippled the enclave's water infrastructure. " Trump open to Iran nuclear talks " President Donald Trump has said the United States will hold talks with Iran over its nuclear programme next week, following a 12-day conflict with Israel that drew in the US and left hundreds dead and wounded. Trump claimed recent US air strikes had led to the ""total obliteration"" of Iran's nuclear capabilities, setting the programme back ""decades"". He added that the ceasefire he announced earlier in the week was ""going very well."" However, a leaked US intelligence assessment seen by American media suggested the strikes may have delayed Iran's nuclear efforts by only a few months." Israeli military, illegal Zionist settlers kill four Palestinians in occupied West Bank "Israeli military and illegal Zionist settlers have killed at least four Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. Three Palestinians were killed in Kafr Malik, a village northeast of Ramallah, where dozens of illegal Israeli settlers stormed the area, set vehicles on fire and attacked residents. At least seven others were wounded, including one person in critical condition." Kenya protests turn deadly "Sixteen protesters were killed and at least 400 wounded, with 83 in serious condition, following protests across Kenya. A rights group said most were killed by police. Protests raged across at least 23 counties and coincided with the first anniversary of demonstrations opposing tax hikes that left 60 people dead and 20 others missing." Zelenskyy seeks to buy US air defence systems "Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said he had discussed buying US air-defence systems with President Donald Trump during their meeting on the sidelines of NATO's summit in The Hague. He added that Kiev was ready to buy this equipment and support American weapons manufacturers and the two leaders have also discussed a potential joint drone production. "

AP correspondent Ed Donahue reports on efforts to end the war in Ukraine.

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is expected to formally approve plans to establish a new international court to prosecute senior Russian officials for the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

ABC's Karen Travers tells us what's on President Trump's agenda today, including a meeting with Ukraine's Zelenskyy.

In February 2022, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. China has never condemned the invasion, and its government and media have carefully avoided using term “Ukraine War,” opting instead to refer to the war as the “Ukraine crisis,” the “Russia-Ukraine conflict,” or the “special military operation,” a term that echoes Moscow's language. Beijing's approach to the Ukraine War has included support for Russia, a commitment China's own principles, including respecting Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and a professed desire for peace.This episode's discussion will focus on China's evolving posture toward the war and China's relationship with Ukraine. Joining the podcast this episode is Dr. Vita Golod, who is a Junior Research Fellow at the A. Yu Krymskyi Institute of Oriental Studies, National Academy Sciences of Ukraine, and a Visiting Adjunct Instructor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.She is also the co-founder of the Ukrainian Platform for Contemporary China and a board member of the Ukrainian Association of Sinologists.  Timestamps[00:00] Start[01:35] China's Relationship with Ukraine Prior to Russia's Invasion[05:06] President Zelenskyy's Accusations Against China [08:20] Contemporary Ukrainian Perceptions of Relations with China [12:14] Ukrainian Perceptions of Sino-Russian Relations[16:25] China as a Mediator and Peacemaker[19:06] China's Interests in the Outcome of the Russo-Ukrainian War[21:21] What concrete steps could China take to facilitate peace? [23:14] China's Role in the Post-War Reconstruction of Ukraine[28:08] The Future of Sino-Ukrainian Relations

"Israel openly threatens to eliminate Iran's Khamenei " "Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz has threatened to eliminate Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Calling the Iranian leader “the modern Hitler,” the Israeli minister said: ""A dictator like Khamenei, who leads Iran and has made the destruction of Israel his banner, cannot continue to exist.” The threat comes hours after some 20-30 Iranian missiles targeted Israel's central cities, including Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan, and Holon, as well as Soroka Hospital in the southern city of Beersheba." "Trump to decide if US joins assault on Iran ‘within two weeks' " "US President Donald Trump has said he will decide whether to attack Iran within the next two weeks due to a ""substantial"" chance of negotiations, as Tel Aviv and Tehran traded fire for a seventh day. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said hat Trump was interested in pursuing a diplomatic solution with Iran, but his top priority was ensuring that Iran could not obtain a nuclear weapon. She said any deal would have to prohibit enrichment of uranium by Tehran and eliminate Iran's ability to achieve a nuclear weapon, adding that ""correspondence has continued"" between the United States and Iran." "UN adds Israel to blacklist of worst violators of children's rights " "The UN once again included the Israeli troops among ""parties that commit grave violations affecting children in situations of armed conflict,"" according to a report. The report said: ""In 2024, violence against children in armed conflict reached unprecedented levels, with a staggering 25 percent surge in the number of grave violations in comparison with 2023."" It added that the UN verified 41,370 grave violations against children, with 36,221 committed in 2024 — a nearly 50% rise in deadly incidents compared to the previous year." "Kiev worries Iran-Israel tensions may divert US attention " "Fighting between Iran and Israel could deflect global attention from the Russian incursion into Ukraine and even bolster Kremlin's war effort, Ukrainian officials have said. ""For Ukraine, the challenge is the price of oil, because if prices remain high for a long time, the Russians will earn more,"" a senior Ukrainian political source said. Kiev is concerned that waning attention and support from Washington could lead to a muted US response to further Russian advances or deadly aerial attacks. Ukrainian leader Zelenskyy said that the war between Iran and Israel carried risks for Kiev, adding that they would like to see the aid to Ukraine would not be reduced because of Israel-Iran conflict. " "Türkiye will never forget Azerbaijan's solidarity after earthquakes: Erdogan " "Türkiye will never forget the solidarity of the Azerbaijani people after the earthquakes that hit southern Türkiye in February 2023, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said. Speaking at the key delivery ceremony of post-quake houses in Türkiye's Kahramanmaras province alongside his Azerbaijani counterpart Ilham Aliyev, he said that Azerbaijan was one of the first countries that came to his country's aid after the quakes. He recalled Türkiye's support for Azerbaijan on the issue of Karabakh from the first days of the 44-day conflict with Armenia in fall 2020, expressing Turkish solidarity “gave us additional strength.”"

This week, Catherine Whiteford joins me to discuss the issues with the Orthodox Church inside of Ukraine. You may have heard that there's a new "church" sponsored by the US State Department in Ukraine. Yet the government is trying to close out and ban the real Church that has been in existence there for over 1000 years. In this video, Catherine breaks all of this down for you and explains the differences between the real and fake church in Ukraine and who's fighting for which one. In this interview, we discussed Catherine meeting with the White House Faith Office. She is indeed officially in contact with them now. They are looking for more stories and data on the magnitude of the R-1 Visa issues. If you have any, please contact her!

Renowned actor, writer and director Liev Schreiber recently released “Meeting Zelenskyy”, a feature documentary in which he sits down with Ukraine's embattled leader. In an extended conversation, Schreiber speaks actor-to-actor about Volodymyr Zelenskyy's rise from entertainer to war time leader. In this exclusive interview with Laura Flanders, Schreiber discusses how the documentary came to be, how he personally became involved, and how technology could shape the outcome of the Russia-Ukraine war. The film includes never-before-seen footage from Zelenskyy's childhood and career. Join us for this historic conversation, plus a commentary from Laura.“I've always felt optimistic about this because [Ukraine is] on the side of truth. That's the kind of thing you can cover briefly, but it always comes out, it always surfaces. It's also the kind of thing that builds morale. It builds courage. It builds principle. They have that on their side, where the Russian military is struggling.” - Liev Schreiber“This was never about Ukraine for me. This was always about American values and democracy and what it is, where it comes from and what it means. I don't think those values and those principles are on display anywhere more clearly than in Ukraine.” - Liev Schreiber“I've always felt optimistic about this because [Ukraine is] on the side of truth.

Trump Urges Evacuation of Tehran as U.S. Military Assets Move In President Trump calls for Tehran's 17 million residents to evacuate as the USS Nimitz and 31 refueling aircraft reposition toward the Middle East. Trump warns Iran cannot have nuclear weapons and says the U.S. will stay out of the war unless American assets are attacked. Iran's Ayatollah is now urgently seeking peace talks through Arab and Russian intermediaries. Israel Escalates Strikes, Iran's Military Decimated Israeli forces continue bombing Tehran and key military targets. Mossad agents have eliminated top commanders and scientists. Iran's air defenses remain crippled and its missile transport fleet is heavily damaged. Only Fordow, Iran's deepest nuclear site, remains intact. Zelenskyy Asks Trump for Weapons, China Disrupts Supply Chains At a global summit in Canada, Ukraine's President Zelenskyy pleads for U.S. arms. Trump is hesitant, partly due to China's squeeze on rare earth minerals critical to defense production. Although some exports resumed, licenses are limited, and military-grade minerals like samarium remain blocked. America's Rare Earth Emergency and Domestic Production Push Trump may invoke Cold War-era laws to jumpstart domestic rare earth mining in states like Wyoming, California, and Texas. A $120 million loan for a Greenland project signals the urgency of ending China's control over the supply chain. Confusion Over Trump's Immigration Orders Trump calls for ramped-up ICE raids in sanctuary cities but had paused enforcement at farms and hotels just days earlier. Following backlash from business and agriculture, the administration reversed course, then appeared to reconsider again. Meanwhile, a meatpacking plant in Nebraska raided by ICE now sees lines of job applicants, raising new questions about the true labor market.

Amid deadly Russia attacks in Kyiv, and the absence of a disappearing Donald Trump, Prime Minister Mark Carney announces billions in new support for Ukraine at the G7 summit.The federal government says its recently tabled "Strong Borders Act" is meant to keep Canadians safe. But a lawyer says it's a thinly veiled excuse to give police access to personal data.Today, the IDF killed dozens of Palestinians who were waiting for flour; the UN's special rapporteur says that proves armed peacekeepers should be deployed to protect aid convoys.A mother and daughter describe the surreal – and memorable – moment that they were both called to the bar at the same ceremony yesterday.As the G7 summit in Alberta wraps up today, minus one key player, a reporter says Donald Trump's sudden departure was a snub, but not exactly a surprise. A once-in-a-lifetime screening of a long-lost original print of "Star Wars" stuns an audience because it looks a lot more amateurish than they'd expected.As It Happens, the Tuesday Edition. Radio that hears even Chewbacca looked sloppy – and that's just a Wookiee mistake.

Edition No161 | 17-06-2025 - Trump has fled the G7, where it seems like his only significant contribution was to whine about how unfair it was that his fiend Vald has been kicked out of the club. He then repeated a total fantasy story, about how it was Justin Trudeau's fault Russia was kicked out and that Putin would never have gone to war if 1) he had been president and 2) Trudeau and pals had not been so mean to Putin. The reality of course, is that Russia was ejected from the G8 precisely because it started a war in Crimea and then Donbas in 2014, and Justin Trudeau would not become premier of Canada until 2015. The most shocking thing perhaps, was not that Trump would lies and spin fantasies so readily, but that no leader was prepared to confront those falsehoods and blatant lies publicly. Nothing must spoil the photo ops. So, the endless photo opportunities the event created for world leaders, look like it'll amount to little more than that. No decisions were reached. No joint communiques were issued. No press releases agreed upon or published. And Trump departs the day before he was supposed to meet Zelenskyy – an encounter and conversation that likely will not happen. If it was Trump's intention to turn the G7 into a hollow facade, a kind of zombie institution, then there is little more he could have done to achieve this. If we are conspiratorially minded, degrading and eliminating another fixture of international cooperation was top of Putin's wish list. The symbolism of Russia's contempt for international institutions and the Western world could not have been made plainer by the massive attack on Kyiv to coincide with the G7 meeting.----------Links: https://kyivindependent.com/trump-to-depart-g7-summit-ahead-of-june-17-meeting-with-zelensky/https://unn.ua/en/news/negotiations-instead-of-weapons-the-us-is-effectively-stopping-military-aid-to-ukrainehttps://kyivindependent.com/kyiv-hit-by-russian-drones-and-ballistic-missiles-over-a-dozen-injured/ ----------Car for Ukraine has once again joined forces with a group of influencers, creators, and news observers during this summer.

“This was never about Ukraine for me. This was always about American values and democracy and what it is, where it comes from and what it means. I don't think those values and those principles are on display anywhere more clearly than in Ukraine.” - Liev SchreiberDescription: Renowned actor, writer and director Liev Schreiber recently released “Meeting Zelenskyy”, a feature documentary in which he sits down with Ukraine's embattled leader. In an extended conversation, Schreiber speaks actor-to-actor about Volodymyr Zelenskyy's rise from entertainer to war time leader. In this exclusive interview with Laura Flanders, Schreiber discusses how the documentary came to be, how he personally became involved, and how technology could shape the outcome of the Russia-Ukraine war. The film includes never-before-seen footage from Zelenskyy's childhood and career. Join us for this historic conversation, plus a commentary from Laura.“I've always felt optimistic about this because [Ukraine is] on the side of truth. That's the kind of thing you can cover briefly, but it always comes out, it always surfaces. It's also the kind of thing that builds morale. It builds courage. It builds principle. They have that on their side, where the Russian military is struggling.” - Liev SchreiberGuest:  Liev Schreiber: Award-Winning Actor, Director & Writer; Co-Founder, BlueCheck Ukraine This show is made possible by you!

Chuck Todd criticizes the controversial military birthday parade planned by Trump in Washington, D.C., which marks both the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary and Trump's 79th birthday. He calls out the event as a politicization of the military, a costly spectacle ($25–$45 million) that could have been spent addressing critical social needs such as homeless veterans, Medicaid funding, or infrastructure repair. He takes particular issue with the military personnel being vetted for political loyalty to Trump, which undermines the traditionally apolitical nature of the military and risks eroding public trust. Chuck examines the broader consequences of Trump's actions, including his use of military intervention in domestic unrest and harsh rhetoric against protestors, which contributes to the dangerous polarization of Americans and threatens democratic norms.Chuck Todd sits down with former Congresswoman Barbara Comstock to discuss her ongoing efforts to reform the Republican Party from within and the challenges facing the GOP in the Trump era. Comstock argues that the party's fundamental problem isn't ideological but character-based, as Republicans have abandoned character as a voting issue and are now required to lie to their voters to maintain political viability. She believes reform must come from the bottom up through state and local politics, which have been less infected by Trumpism, and warns that MAGA Republicans' indifference to whether government actually works has created a dangerous dynamic where loyalty to Trump is the only qualification that matters.The conversation explores the practical consequences of Republican governance, from potential Medicaid cuts that could devastate rural hospitals and long-term care facilities, to the party's abandonment of Christian principles regarding care for the vulnerable. Comstock sees an opportunity for reform during the eventual succession fight after Trump, arguing that it will take just one person of character to begin rebuilding the party. She's particularly critical of figures like JD Vance, whom she describes as a charlatan who cannot represent the party's future, while expressing cautious optimism about leaders like Glenn Youngkin. Throughout the discussion, Comstock draws parallels to international politics, praising Zelenskyy as the world's greatest leader while condemning the Tucker Carlson wing of the party for siding with Putin, ultimately arguing that voters will punish incumbents of both parties if government continues to fail.00:00  Introduction01:05 The two types of ex-Repubicans03:40 The bleak future of the two-party system04:30 Trump's military birthday parade07:20 Longterm damage of politicizing the military08:55 Conservative's absurd renaming of Confederate bases11:30 The HUGE price of this military parade13:30 What the $45 million COULD have been used to fix15:10 Why politicizing the military would be end of the republic16:00 How this stunt is escalating tensions w/ ongoing protests17:15 Why this Trump scandal is particularly un-American19:45 Barbara Comstock joins the Chuck ToddCast!20:45 Efforts to reform the Republican party from within23:00 State and local level politics have been less infected by Trumpism25:15 Republicans are required to lie to their voters26:15 Reform will come from the bottom up27:00 Character is a bigger problem for Republicans than ideology28:30 Republicans have given up on character as a voting issue30:30 Winsome Earle-Sears has capitulated to the Trump movement33:15 Should Republicans embrace Trump's ideology but with high character candidates?35:15 MAGA Republicans don't care if government doesn't work36:00 Loyalty is the only qualification Trump cares about39:00 Attrition and incentives are a better way of cutting government42:15 Emergency care for illegal immigrants is mandated by law43:00 Christian Republicans want to kick the samaritan to the curb44:00 Medicaid cuts will cause rural hospitals to close45:00 Medicaid sustains the long term care industry46:45 Congress has abdicated its responsibility to govern48:15 It takes one person of character to begin reforming the GOP49:15 There will be opportunity for reform during the succession fight50:45 When you make government work well, voters notice52:00 Could Republicans get wiped out like the Tories in the UK?53:30 Zelenskyy is the greatest leader on the world stage55:00 The Tucker Carlson wing has sided with Putin56:15 Can a non MAGA Republican win over MAGA voters in the future?58:45 Howard Lutnick and Linda McMahon have looked clueless1:00:15 The Republican party has become an anti-intellectual party1:01:30 Has JD Vance always been a charlatan?1:03:30 JD Vance can't be the future of the party1:04:45 Is Glenn Youngkin redeemable?1:07:00 Trump will want to anoint his successor1:07:30 Who are some current Republicans that could reclaim the GOP?1:10:15 The potential GOP reformer needs to be someone new1:13:15 Voters won't be kind to incumbents of either party1:17:45 Analyzing the Musk-Trump breakup1:22:30 What would happen if Trump... raised taxes on billionaires?

On April 22, 2025, gunmen in the town of Pahalgam, located in the disputed region of Kashmir, killed 26 people—mostly Indian tourists. A four-day military clash between India and Pakistan ensued, bringing both countries to the brink of a full-blown war, before a ceasefire was reached on May 10, 2025. During the India-Pakistan clashes, Beijing urged both sides to deescalate and called for a “political settlement through peaceful means.” But China did not play a neutral role in the conflict. Consistent with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi's purported statement to his Pakistani counterpart that “China fully understands Pakistan's legitimate security concerns and supports Pakistan in safeguarding its sovereignty and security interests,” China reportedly provided intelligence, satellite equipment, and other forms of support to Pakistan before and during the clashes.To analyze China's role in the conflict, host Bonnie Glaser is joined by Andrew Small. Andrew is a senior transatlantic fellow with GMF's Indo-Pacific program, and author of two books on China, including “The China-Pakistan Axis: Asia's New Geopolitics,” which is now ten years old, but remains an insightful and relevant study. Timestamps[00:00] Start[01:46] China's Diplomatic Response to the India-Pakistan Clashes[05:58] Beijing's Offer of Playing a “Constructive Role”[10:56] A Testing Ground for Chinese Weaponry and Equipment[14:03] China's Cautious Approach to Sino-Indian Relations[18:10] Military Support and the Sino-Pakistan Relationship[23:44] Implications for Chinese Arms Exports[26:27] Indian and Pakistani Assessments of Chinese Involvement[30:06] Influence of US-China Rivalry on India-Pakistan Relations

Edition No154 | 07-06-2025 - Trump was asked a simple question. One which any man with empathy, leadership qualities, or any human dignity would find simple to answer. His instinct was to reach for a classic rapists' response, or defense. Ukraine was asking for it, he basically said.

Patrick Bet-David, Tom Ellsworth, Vincent Oshana, and Adam Sosnick react to Donald Trump's scathing criticism of the Federal Reserve and Chairman Jerome Powell, Dave Portnoy's viral meltdown over media hypocrisy, and rising global concerns as Volodymyr Zelenskyy's war powers face scrutiny.------

After a dramatic drone strike on 40 Russian bombers, Trump reacts to his call with Putin and posts details online. The panel debates Zelensky's authority, NATO's role, Trump's peace credibility, and Putin's next move. Tensions rise as military and political stakes escalate fast.

Edition No151 | 05-06-2025 - Trump is apparently annoyed with both Putin and Zelenskyy, according to aides, but his approbation and ire is especially reserved for Zelenskyy, who Trump is said to consider “a bad guy”, “who will lead the world to the brink of nuclear war.” This is a narrative likely planted in his head by Vladimir Putin, who has once again apparently exerted an extraordinary amount of influence over Trump's words and action, after ‘another' of their infamous phone calls. This special hostility of Trump towards Zelenskyy likely has many origins. But envy of Ukrainian President's clear leadership qualities and charisma, his authority among other world leaders, and refusal to abandon his truth for the expediency of sucking up to Trump play a role. We must not lose sight in the face of Trump's comments, or the iniquitous both siding that some of the media falls into, that Ukraine is in face the defender, the victim and Russia the aggressor. Ukraine attacks military targets, sometimes the very equipment used to deliver death and destruction to Ukrainian cities, and Russians mostly choose to hit civilian targets.----------Links: https://kyivindependent.com/putin-casts-doubt-on-peace-talks-accuses-ukraine-of-deadly-bridge-attack-in-russia/https://kyivindependent.com/trump-urges-senate-to-postpone-vote-on-russia-sanctions-bill/https://kyivindependent.com/ukraine-strike-on-russian-bombers-could-escalate-war-kellogg-says/https://kyivindependent.com/for-the-first-time-pentagon-chief-to-skip-ramstein-format-meeting-of-ukraines-allies/https://kyivindependent.com/trump-administration-redirecting-anti-drone-tech-from-ukraine-to-us-forces-in-middle-east-wsj-reports/https://kyivindependent.com/russia-launches-over-48-000-aerial-attacks-in-6-months-zelensky-says/----------SUMMER FUNDRAISERSNAFO & Silicon Curtain community - Let's help help 5th SAB together https://www.help99.co/patches/nafo-silicon-curtain-communityWe are teaming up with NAFO 69th Sniffing Brigade to provide 2nd Assault Battalion of 5th SAB with a pickup truck that they need for their missions.

After all the bravado, several deal-spurnings and a recent drone strike against Russia, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy now wants to talk about a ceasefire. What's the reason for the sudden turnaround? Meantime, several EU nations are facing economic disaster and hoping an escalated conflict could jumpstart their financial situations at the expense of two nations and their people. Dr. Jerome Corsi takes a close look at the economic factors potentially bringing us closer to a world war --- either in Ukraine or in the Middle East -- and the extra obstacles President Trump needs to navigate to calm down both conflicts on Corsi Nation.Visit The Corsi Nation website: https://www.corsination.comIf you like what we are doing, please support our Sponsors:Get RX Meds Now: https://www.getrxmedsnow.comMyVitalC https://www.thetruthcentral.com/myvitalc-ess60-in-organic-olive-oil/Swiss America: https://www.swissamerica.com/offer/CorsiRMP.phpGet Dr. Corsi's new book, The Assassination of President John F.

Tổng thống Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy đã đề xuất thực hiện một lệnh ngừng bắn cho đến khi có thể sắp xếp một cuộc gặp với Tổng thống Nga Vladimir Putin để thảo luận về hòa bình. Tổng thống Nga được cho là đã nói với người đồng cấp Hoa Kỳ rằng ông coi các cuộc đàm phán ngừng bắn là hữu ích, tuy nhiên cuộc gặp cấp cao mà Ukraine mong muốn khó có khả năng diễn ra.

Michael Allen welcomes back RADM (Ret.) Mark Montgomery to the podcast, where he explains why—even with a ceasefire—ending the war between Russia and Ukraine could be “impossible.” He discusses the recent shifts in military gains and losses on both sides, and what it could take to change the odds in favor of either Moscow or Kyiv.

AP's Lisa Dwyer reports that while a ceasefire proposal in the Russian Ukraine war falls through, and Zelenskyy pushes for direct talks, the war is not diminishing.

Trump's own attendance was pulled after Putin backed out. The PBD crew breaks down the drama behind the scenes: Why didn't Putin show? Was it all about Trump? Is Zelensky using this moment as a photo op? And is anyone in the West serious about ending this war?

President Trump raged against Amazon's plan to pass tariffs on to customers, prompting a quick backtrack from Jeff Bezos, who called it a “mistake.” But did Bezos have another reason for backtracking? Pat Gray and Jeffy Fisher discuss. At his 100-day Michigan rally, Trump touted securing the border and slashing trade deficits while praising a “big, beautiful bill” coming to Congress. He also blasted Democrats for a third impeachment push, calling them “lunatics,” and mocked their Capitol steps sing-along with Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), and he also caught Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D) off guard. In a White House sit-down with Glenn, Trump detailed his plans to codify tax cuts and deregulation and end the war in Ukraine and Russia to save lives and money. Trump also remarked that he finds dealing with Putin easier than working with Zelenskyy. Meanwhile, the trial over Kim Kardashian's 2016 Paris robbery began, with 10 suspects accused of storming her hotel room at gunpoint and stealing millions in jewelry.
