Dr. David Wurmser fellow at the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs and CSP Senior Analyst for Middle East Affairs, speaking at the “Iran at a Crossroads” conference in Washington, compares Iran’s current situation to the final years of the Soviet Union: the collapse of the communist bloc states did not immediately lead to the fall of the regime in Moscow. According to Wurmser, one of the decisive variables is ideology. As long as the ideology of the Islamic Republic continues to hold the governing system together, external pressure and crises alone do not guarantee the regime’s collapse. Watch hereOpen
Something metallic turned up under a garden in a quiet Tallinn suburb in 1969, and the Soviets spent the next twenty years trying to get it out, bringing in excavators and scientists and military, borrowing the house from its owners and living in it, digging on and off until perestroika ended the whole effort and they walked away. Astrophysicist Dr. Beatriz Villarroel and Ocean X co-founder Dennis Åsberg went to that address to find out what is still down there. Nobody came to the door, but the neighbor who had watched all of it from his window talked to them for an hour. This is their full conversation with Ross Coulthart, recorded for "Secret Soviet UFOs" and running well past what the special had room for. Villarroel walks through the…
The UFO story is not just an American one. As a new era of drone war rages in Eastern Europe, strange sightings in the skies invite questions about an overlooked Cold War mystery in the same region.

NewsNation takes you on the ground to Estonia with the scientists pushing for answers, and the man who claims to have a piece of the mysterious "Object M."

‘The Brink of War’ is a new historical drama based on the true story of the 1986 Reykjavik Summit, where President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev met to discuss reducing their nations’ nuclear arsenals amid the threat of global annihilation during the Cold War. Emmy Award-winning actor Jeff Daniels stars as Reagan in the film, and he joins Morning Joe to discuss the challenge of channeling the ‘courage of Reagan’ during this ‘dangerous time.’
What was the Cold War? Forty-five years on the brink of nuclear war — and many Americans can barely explain it. So PragerU’s Franklin Camargo hits Hollywood Boulevard to find out how much Americans actually know about the war that could have ended the world. Who were we up against? Why was it called “cold”? And did America even win? A few people know their history. Most don’t come close. Their answers might just surprise you.

In 1969, a man drilling a well in the Tallinn suburb of Merivälja struck something solid roughly seven meters down, and the fragments he broke loose eventually reached Soviet laboratories that concluded the alloy could not have been produced on this planet. Sander walks Coulthart through the two decades of excavation that…

They explain why a judicial institution that claims to be devoted to “protecting the weakest people on the planet” is actually the antithesis of Judeo-Christian values.
