- Day 1,001.
Today, as the US closes its embassy in Kyiv in anticipation of Russian retaliation for Joe Biden’s recent policy shifts, we examine in more detail Russia’s new nuclear doctrine and ask: is it just the same old wine in a slightly newer bottle?.

Must be true if JD Vance says so😅
They took our dawgs! >:O
Abbott has been on the drink again
"Same old whine in a new bottle" 😂
Yes just wait we're going to send in Mike Tyson, he's the best
I have a feeling Putin will be 'signing off' his 'nuclear doctrine' at least once a week
If the US is concerned that their embassy might be attacked then this sounds like an excellent reason to protect their citizens and impose a no fly zone over the Kyiv region
Why don't u go fight tough guy?
@ great response, very relevant 👍
@LeeGoddard89 most people want to avoid ww3.

with what?
I just want to say it is wonderful how the Ukrainians remember David Knowles at the end of the podcast at Pen Ukraine. Very touching.
Diane Abbott is someone without "gravitas". How she ever became an MP is a mystery.
She has a negative effect on the army too, - 3 melee defence and - 3 missile attack
She has two left feet
One of the OG diversity hires of course
She weighs about 21 stone (of which 2 ounces are brain matter), plenty of gravity, zero gravitas.

The deployment of NATO forces to Ukraine would have catastrophic consequences for the entire world, marking the alliance’s formal entry into the conflict against Moscow, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said during a briefing.
"I truly don’t understand it; perhaps it hasn’t occurred to them that sending NATO troops to Ukraine would signify the alliance’s direct involvement in the war against our country. We have repeatedly warned them about this, as it would lead to devastating consequences not just for Europe, but for the entire globe," she remarked, commenting on Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna’s call for sending European forces to Ukraine in a bid to allegedly "facilitate" a peace agreement with Russia.
According to Zakharova, the Estonian minister is inciting other NATO members to engage in a venture that is "bound to fail." "Today, these very NATO nations are intensifying tensions, fueling conflict with the lives of Ukrainian citizens - something they are all too adept at," the diplomat noted.
"Estonia, along with other Baltic nations, belongs to the radical faction of the North Atlantic bloc and continues to make aggressive, inflammatory, and militaristic statements against our country - statements that, by the way, carry a distinctly nationalist undertone," she added.
The Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman also emphasized that it is NATO member states that are actively preventing the Kiev regime from engaging in negotiations with Moscow. "Those who cheer on and applaud the use of long-range weapons against Russia by the Kiev regime - what kind of agreements are they even talking about? How can such ideas even come from the same mind? The truth is, these are reckless and aggressive remarks, rooted in provocation, just like everything the North Atlantic Alliance does," Zakharova concluded.

Russian response was to send an icbm into Dnipro - bit underwhelming and pathetic.
Why give them the green light for using the missiles if they are afraid of the retaliation? Wtf?
Because they will not surrender
The US missile defense base in Poland has long been considered a priority target for potential neutralization by the Russian Armed Forces, Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated during a briefing.
"Given the level of threats posed by such Western military facilities, the missile defense base in Poland has long been included among the priority targets for potential neutralization. If necessary, this can be achieved using a wide range of advanced weaponry," the diplomat said.
Zakharova stated that the US-NATO construction project, ongoing for nearly a decade with complete disregard to Russian security concerns, has consistently been a focus of Russia's attention. She emphasized that Russia has spent these years preparing countermeasures in response.
Zakharova described the establishment of such a base as yet another blatantly provocative move, calling it part of "a series of deeply destabilizing actions by the Americans and their North Atlantic allies in the strategic sphere."
"This move aligns with the longstanding and destructive practice of advancing NATO's military infrastructure closer to Russia's borders," the spokeswoman stated. "Such actions undermine strategic stability. Coupled with other harmful military-political and military-technical measures aimed at projecting US power thousands of kilometers from its own territory to exert pressure on Russia and other nuclear powers, this inevitably heightens strategic risks and, consequently, raises the overall level of nuclear danger," Zakharova added.
The missile defense complex in Poland
Construction of the missile defense facility in Redzikow began in 2016, with costs reportedly amounting to $850 million for the United States, according to open sources. The facility became operational in December 2023 and was subsequently handed over to NATO. Following the summit in Washington in July 2024, the alliance announced the full operational readiness of the Aegis Ashore complex in Poland.
The Aegis Ashore facility in Redzikow is part of the EPAA (European Phased Adaptive Approach) program for the phased deployment of missile defense systems in Europe. The framework also includes Aegis radar-equipped ships based in Rota, Spain, an AN/TPY-2 radar station in Turkey (on alert since 2011), and another Aegis Ashore facility at the Deveslu base in Romania.
Great content, thank you, really appreciated the story on David.
Why don't russia just leave. That will end the war.
there's an ongoing security operation in progress
Russians live in Eastern Ukraine and not going anywhere
@@stevetalevskiYeah they are worse than Israeli settlers in the West Bank.
Because russians can't ever ever admit to being wrong. Don't forget they are God's gift to mankind and everyone else is inferior.
Putin can’t just leave. His oligarchs will kill him. Actually they’ll prbly kill him if he doesn’t take all of Ukraine.
Another great job guys, however, I do feel that this podcast can be a bit overly precarious to any Russian threat to a wider conflict.
I would ask, without sounding to much like an alarmist, that the podcast considers dedicating an episode to the potential threat of a wider conflict.
What it might look like, a potential chronological timeline of events, and how we the public can both anticipate and prepare for any such scenario.
It’s not got unnoticed that here in the UK, civil defence is woefully inadequate and actually, a little bit of knowledge could potentially save a lot of lives. Thanks
Your preparedness isn't the only thing inadequate.Just listen to the rest of the british media.
Basically all the aircraft of nato would blob up with refuelling aircraft and own anything without 1k miles of it.
Our submarines would be kept until they are really needed.
Just watch the film Threads @JordanBriody difference scenario, but likely a similar ending
Joseph Lindsley reports daily from Ukraine through WGN radio (Chicago) and TVP World (Poland).
Thanks for a very good episode as always. Listing online from Sweden.
A very moving segment from Ukraine tonight. Thanks for your wonderful podcast, as always.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov blamed on Thursday the Biden administration for the recent escalation in the war with Ukraine, claiming that it "adds fuel to the fire of the Ukrainian conflict, preventing any dynamics toward its completion and using Ukraine as a tool in their hands in their war with the Russian Federation." The United States allowed Ukraine to use long-range missiles to strike Russia last week, resulting in Ukraine firing US-made ATACMS missiles earlier this week.Peskov insisted that Russia "takes a responsible position" regarding nuclear weapons, making "maximum efforts" to prevent a nuclear conflict. He called on other nuclear states to act accordingly and refrain from "engaging in provocative actions."
Yes, but Dimwitty Pisskoff will parrot whatever his warlord tells him to
If Russia does anything, then give Ukraine even more.
Ukraine has the right to defend it self ... Russia is the aggresor...
Fvck Ukraine
NATO and Obiden are.
Obiden started this escalation, and that other one in Ukraine.
@@cockneycharm3970 Pretty sure Putin started this when he decided to forgo diplomacy and invade his sovereign neighbors in a blatant land grab war of choice.
If only Ukraine defended itself from Barack Obama in 2014.We wouldn't be having this problem.
Great show. Much appreciated to hear from Francis in Kyiv.
Russian forces did not launch intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) at Ukraine on Thursday, but a ballistic missile, which targeted Dnipro in southeastern Ukraine, a Western official told ABC News.Earlier in the day, the Ukrainian Air Force claimed that Russia fired an ICBM along with a hypersonic Kinzhal air-launched ballistic missile and seven cruise missiles from the Astrakhan region.However, Russia has not yet confirmed the launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile toward Ukraine, and Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov declined to comment on the matter at his daily press conference.
Excellent report.
David Knowles - remembered very fondly by many people who never met him.
I've never understood why Dom goes into such detail about the overnight drone attacks while essentially ignoring the matter of the ground war. I keep hearing that there was "virtually no movement" only to find Russia's been advancing at the rate of 2 km / day. I wish they would get Roland to do it, he has a gift for that.
BlueSky is an excellenth choice to avoid X type Must sensorship

It angers me when I think of how inadequate our {US) government has failed Ukraine. It is nearsighted and almost cowardice. This is an opportunity for once to support the right cause. Same goes for Israel. I don't know that Trump's leadership will be any better.
They haven't failed Ukraine, it's a giant money laundering machine working nicely
The US is the reason for both of these massacres.
At least Israel has been insanely effective at taking out Iran’s proxies. But that was really because they didn’t listen to Biden.
It angers me when I think of how inadequate our {US) government has failed the US.
Thanks UTL.

Keep up the good work fellas!
Diane Abbot is a fool, she’d still be uming and ahhing about acting if Putin were crossing the channel.
Hamish: nuclear weapons, nothing to worry about !! Really ?
How can there be a failure rate on a battery powered device that relies on the battery wearing out to be effective? All batteries wear out.
Hahahah.. don't poke bear...
Ukraine has kicked the bear in the nuts fella!
Hasn't the Ukraine signed a convention ruling out the use of anti-personnel mines?
You’d be surprised at some of the countries that haven’t signed up to that
no
Didn’t Ruzzia give Ukraine security guarantees after they gave up the third largest nuclear arsenal in the world?
BBC "More than 160 nations have signed the Mine Ban Treaty which commits to banning the production, use and stockpiling of anti-personnel mines. Ukraine IS a signatory to this treaty"
Always remember.
Putin. Chose. This.
Oh. Key. Dough. Chi.
True. Not only chose but planned for a decade.
@@anthonyhulse1248longer. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
@@anthonyhulse1248more than a decade ago. 2008 wikileaks cable from the US regarding Russia. NATO enlargement, particularly to Ukraine, remains ‘an emotional and neuralgic’ issue for Russia, but strategic policy considerations also underlie strong opposition to NATO membership for Ukraine and Georgia. In Ukraine, these include fears that the issue could potentially split the country in two, leading to violence or even, some claim, civil war, which would force Russia to decide whether to intervene," the cable read.
Burns, who is now CIA director, admitted in a classified 2008 embassy cable that NATO expansion to Ukraine crosses Moscow’s security “redlines” and “could potentially split the country in two, leading to violence or even, some claim, civil war, which would force Russia to decide whether to intervene
4:30 Does this guy believe everything kiev regime says? lol
If they only now are allowing these type of minesuncertain why this wasn’t don’t earlier
When was the last time a Super power closed its embassy, and where was it?
Iraq?
Iraq?
Oops, I meant Iran?
They close and lock the doors they're still there. It's not like they close it down completely.
Why does the media use the phrase "full-scale invasion" rather than "invasion" e.g. first sentence when this podcast starts after the intro?
Because Russia's invasion of Ukraine on a more limited scale began 10 years ago in Donbas and Crimea
Sounds better.
Swedish laboratory confirmed 2010 Polish flight to Katyn, carrying the Polish government, was brought down mid air, by an explosive bolt fitted during a service.
New to me. Has taken a while.
If y’all didn’t know attacking a us embassy is considered an act of war according to us policy.
The US would find a way to pretend it hadn't happened. The failure of leadership is cataclysmic. Every country will now seek to acquire nuclear weapons, and dictators everywhere will think they can launch wars. Here in Russia the victory parades and parties are already being planned.
Please teach this man how to pronounce "nuclear". It wouldn't be so bad if he didn't keep saying it so frequently
about that ICBM launch, today: If they wanted to go nuclear, they could. I find that opposite to what a lot of experts say, it shows weakness , maybe in the nuclear tech, maybe on the shorter range missile production on Russia's part and not a warning... the more I think of it, the more It shouts "We will not go nuclear because we cannot afford it on any level, so this is the closest we can go, and we plan on doing that more often." . It really shows how scared Putin is of imminent defeat (maybe not on the feild, maybe more politicaly and economicaly on the homefront).
Anyway: He'll end up like ghadaffi. (If that was what shocked him into his lunacy, that is what he will get.)
I think that the US is confusing Russian millitary behaviour with that of the Israeli embassy attacking tactics.
Too many commercials to listen to this channel !!

I think... if they are using DBX explosives in the US supplied landmines then they release fumes after a time period, the fumes are result of a reaction which neutralises the nitroglycerine and the explosive effectively turns to a clay line compound.
Zelensky has said that there will be no elections until Kiev prevails in the war. In other words he will remain ( unelected ) president for the forseeable future. A Ukrainian poll found that 52% of Ukrainians want peace negotiations NOW.
Those in Ukraine that want the war to end have no voice. We learn so much about 'democracy' from Kiev.
Sources or stfu
If only Russians were as concerned with the 20 year long regime of the old fool in the kremlin, none of this would be happening.
That’s sever
I followed this podcast since day one and I just want to reiterate, the UK is in NATO - Ukraine is not. Ukraine, without the help of NATO, could not launch these long range missiles. What does that mean?
It means NATO people, are firing NATO weapons, into Russia. Without NATO Ukraine would have lost the war already for sure but its not our job to interfere in foreign wars that could see us enter a nuclear war. I see on here all the time people calling and cheering for nuclear war its crazy.
As a member of NATO we are bound to fight (and i would) if article 5 is triggered, but we are NOT allies with Ukraine. Countries are invaded all the time and we do nothing. Stand up and let your voice be heard. "NO MORE WAR".
ok Putin

Enthralled with Hamish today, Dom holds the pods together and is ever stronger in knowledge. Submarine launches are harder to detect until launched, I would ask Hamish and Dom on this. I think Putin will be pushed to a point where he thinks Alles Kaput, he'll lose his palatial life and say in politics. He will nuke comprehensivly and strategically when he has nothing to lose, he thinks. 5 kiloton? What retaliation for that sized effect on the enemy. They will be far more powerful than aa suggested and will simultaneously hit literally anywhere. A chemical weapon is another story as is an EMP that would be met with weapons that work and truthfully out number any one country's ability to match. These things were rhetoric earlier in this war, the proxy WW3 one, but like Adolf, once stated they are are resorted to in desperate awareness of losing outright.
Duck n cover….
United Kingdom (and Ukraine) as signatory of the 1997 U.N. Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention is forced by international law to condemn the use of ANY anti-personnel mines as war crimes, not to present it as something acceptable. This also applies to media outlets based on signatory's countries.
I'm not saying it's okay to used anti-personnel mines but if they are using DBX explosives in the US supplied landmines then they release fumes after a time period, the fumes are result of a reaction which neutralises the nitroglycerine and the explosive effectively turns to a clay line compound. Very different to the French, Russian, Chinese and Brazilian made mines which stay line almost indefinitely.
@@evilaquaman not "not ok", this is pure war crime according to the law.
Both have the right under international law to withdraw from that convention too
