485 | Sirens and Silence: Israel Under Fire, Iran on the Edge Jun 30, 2025

Show notes

In this episode, we cover the deadliest escalation between Iran and Israel in years. Beginning June 13, Iran launched up to 350 ballistic missiles and drones in waves that pounded Israeli cities through June 16. Civilian areas were hit hard—28 people killed, including children and a Holocaust survivor, and hundreds injured in Tel Aviv, Bat Yam, Rehovot, and Rishon LeZion. This wasn’t routine retaliation—it marked a dangerous shift into a wider conflict. And today, we bring you voices from inside two different bomb shelters—two very different perspectives on fear, resilience, and what this war feels like from the ground in Israel. We also have an update on where Iran's nuclear program stands.

483 | Ukraine: Behind Putin's Obsession Jun 11, 2025

Show notes

Two men. One war. And a war of words that could dictate the terms of a new world order. Trump calls Putin crazy. Putin fires back—calls Trump emotional. Trump warns he’s playing with fire. But behind the insults is a deeper conflict—one that could tip the scales of history. At the center: Ukraine. Not just a battlefield, but a test of resolve, ego, and global power. This is where rhetoric meets reality—and the consequences are deadly. Former CIA covert operative Robert Baer explains what drives Vladimir Putin.

482 | Ghost Fleet: Russia’s Lawless Armada of Oil Tankers Jun 04, 2025

Show notes

The world’s most dangerous fleet isn’t on any navy’s registry—it sails in the shadows. Russia’s so-called shadow oil fleet is a rogue armada of unflagged, uninsured, barely seaworthy tankers hauling sanctioned crude across the globe. Estonia’s Undersecretary for Legal and Consular Affairs, Kerli Veski, explains what it is, how it works and why it's a problem.

The 2025 Lennart Meri Conference in Tallinn wasn’t just another diplomatic gathering—it was a strategic wake-up call. With war raging in Ukraine and hybrid threats escalating across Europe, leaders from NATO, the EU, and beyond converged to confront what they called a new axis of authoritarian aggression—Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea. Jonatan Vseviov, Secretary General of the Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, delivers a blunt assessment of the situation and what needs to be done.
