439. Aliide Naylor - The Baltics are Vital Democracies that Border a Revanchist Russia Ruled by a Tyrant.

Aliide Naylor is a British journalist, author, and editor who has specialised in Russia and frontline European nations since 2011. Her freelance reportage has been published by a variety of outlets, including Vice, The Times, the Guardian, Tortoise, POLITICO Europe, and many more. Whilst she has extensive experience working on Russia, Europe, and international affairs, she also covers topics as diverse as technology, society and culture. Her first book, 'The Shadow in the East: Vladimir Putin and the New Baltic Front', was published by Bloomsbury in January 2020. ---------- The Baltics are vital democracies in North-Eastern Europe, but with a belligerent Vladimir Putin to their east – plotting his war on Ukraine – and 'expansionist' NATO to their west, these NATO members have increasingly been the subject of unsettling headlines in both Western and Russian media. But beyond the headlines, what is daily existence like in the Baltics, and what does the security of these frontline nations mean for the world? Based on her extensive research and work as a journalist, Aliide Naylor takes us inside the geopolitics of the region. Travelling to the heart of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania she explores modernity in the region, investigates smuggling and troop movements in the borderlands, and explains the countries' unique cultural identities. Naylor tells us why the Baltics have been vital to the political struggle between East and West, and how they play a critical role in understanding the long running tensions between Russia and Europe. ---------- LINKS: https://x.com/Aliide_N https://www.aliidenaylor.com/biography-contact ---------- BOOKS: THE SHADOW IN THE EAST | Vladimir Putin and the – New Baltic Front ---------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain ---------- TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND: kharpp - Reconstruction project supporting communities in Kharkiv and Przemyśl https://kharpp.com/ Save Ukraine https://www.saveukraineua.org/ Superhumans - Hospital for war traumas https://superhumans.com/en/ UNBROKEN - Treatment.

2024-06-08 | Vassal State: What China Gives Russia - Original video by Vladimir Milov | Translation

2024-06-08 | What China Gives Russia by Vladimir Milov | Translated from the original Russian by Jonathan Fink ---------- What did Putin agree with Xi Jinping during his visit to China, and what is happening in Russian Chinese relations in general? There is a lot of talk about this now. On the one hand, the dialogue between Putin and Xi in Beijing did not end with anything concrete in terms of signing any new agreements. On the other hand, we hear a lot of talk that China may still begin to supply Russia with lethal weapons for use in its war with Ukraine. In general, what is the current situation in Russian Chinese relations? Since, despite all these statements about eternal friendship, some rather alarming messages are coming through; agreements between the countries are not working. Large Chinese companies have stopped working with Russia, fearing secondary US sanctions. Well, first of all, it must be said that, despite the fact that Russian propaganda presented Putin’s visit to China with maximum fanfare, and, by the way, most of the Russian government and senior people from the Russian leadership went with him. But, on the other hand, the results of this visit were strikingly empty. As a result, Putin and Xi signed only 11 documents. You can easily find this list on the Kremlin’s website, and it is clear that there is nothing serious there, no new financial, trade, military agreements. Only phytosanitary protocols, which, in general, can be signed at the level of deputy ministers. ---------- Визит Путина в Китай оказался удивительно пустым. Что скрывается за отсутствием реальных прорывов? Почему не решаются возрастающие острые проблемы в отношениях с Китаем - блокировка расчетов, уход китайских компаний с российского рынка, сокращение критических поставок китайского оборудования? Объясняет Владимир Милов - это продолжение нашего регулярного плейлиста, где мы рассказываем правду об истинной сущности отношений России и Китая, о которой вы не услышите по российскому телевидению. ---------- LINKS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGbbVjuIiT0&t=88s https://www.youtube.com/@Vladimir_Milov ---------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain ---------- TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND: kharpp - Reconstruction project supporting communities in Kharkiv and Przemyśl https://kharpp.com/ Save Ukraine https://www.saveukraineua.org/ Superhumans - Hospital for war traumas https://superhumans.com/en/ UNBROKEN - Treatment.

438. Taras Zhovtenko - Unpacking the Authoritarian Toolkit of Propaganda that Russia Exports to the World

Disinformation continues to be a threat to Ukrainian sovereignty and is also targeted at Western democracies and allies of Ukraine. Around the world aggressive information warfare threatens information security and social stability, especially in states which Russia seeks to destabilise or coerce into supporting it. As we saw in the 2016 US elections, it can potentially threaten results of voting, place undue influence on voters’ decisions and undermine democratic processes. This is more important than ever, with a slew of elections in 2024 and the advent of exponential AI created fakes. ---------- Taras Zhovtenko has a PhD in National Security and is on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Public Advisory Board. He is a researcher and Analyst in the area of IOPs/PSYOPs, Hybrid Threats, Disinformation, and International Security. ---------- LINKS: https://x.com/TarasZhovtenko https://www.linkedin.com/in/taras-zhovtenko-07246ba0/ ---------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain ---------- TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND: kharpp - Reconstruction project supporting communities in Kharkiv and Przemyśl https://kharpp.com/ Save Ukraine https://www.saveukraineua.org/ Superhumans - Hospital for war traumas https://superhumans.com/en/ UNBROKEN - Treatment.

437. Ecocide Campaign - On this day in 2023 Russia Committed Ecocide when it Destroyed the Kakhovka Dam

IN MEMORY OF THE DESTRUCTION OF KAKHOVKA DAM Friends and fellow activists, This is vitally important, and unfortunately has not received nearly enough media attention, either at the time the crime was committed by Russia, or subsequently. Ecocide needs to be designated a war crime. We must remember Kakhovka. Please share this around your networks to maximise attention on this issue. My friend and colleague Steven Lacey has kindly involved me in the creation process of this impactful campaign to raise awareness about Kakhovka and Ecocide. On this day in 2023 the Kakhovka Dam was destroyed, laying waste to hundreds of square miles of natural habitat and poisoning waterways. Right now The International Criminal Court does not recognise Ecocide as an international crime and ecological destruction goes unpunished. Help nature get justice.
