October 09, 2024 Ep 31: What Was Hezbollah?
Welcome to another episode of Headlines and History with Jon Molik. This week we discuss the most popular topic in the foreign affairs space: Hezbollah. The Islamic Republic of Iran's original proxy, once a major force in the region, has been dealt numerous blows by Israel over the past few weeks in what some consider the most audacious and effective intelligence operations in history. Multiple leaders, to include Hassan Nasrallah, are dead and the organization is reeling. Join me today as we discuss the organization's history, its purpose, and what it might become, if anything, in the future.

September 25, 2024 Ep 29: Bolívar, Chávez, and Maduro. A Concise History of Venezuela.
In this latest episode of Headlines and History we explore the history of Venezuela through three of its more influential leaders: Simón Bolívar, Hugo Chávez, and Nicolás Maduro. This we are doing in preparation for next week's show when I sit down with Alexandra Winkler, a Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) fellow to discuss the current state of Venezuela. We will begin with how and why Simón Bolívar came to create an independent Venezuela, followed by how Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro, through socialist principles and egomania, ruined it. Enjoy!

September 18, 2024 Ep 28: Israel's Pager Operation
In this latest episode of Headlines and History we discuss what might be the greatest intelligence operation in history: Israel's decision to detonate thousands of pagers worn by Hezbollah members in Lebanon. While Israel has not claimed responsibility, so we don't know for sure, it seems most likely Israel is responsible given they are the only regional entity to have the capability and motive. How did they do it? And why? Is this part of a larger operation to come? Was it an accident? We discuss these questions and more on this week's episode. Enjoy!

September 11, 2024 Ep 27: Linda Sun. China's Source in New York.
In this latest episode of Headlines and History we discuss Linda Sun and her time in New York State government working for two governors and the Chinese Communist Party. She was indicted this week by the Eastern District of New York for working to influence New York politics in a way that supported the People's Republic of China and hurt Taiwan. As we discuss, I wouldn't call her a spy per se, but she worked for an adversary nonetheless, and will likely be found guilty of her alleged crimes. Also is there a historical example that mirrors Sun's behavior...from a friend no less? We find out, on this week's episode, of Headlines and History. Enjoy!

September 04, 2024 Ep 26: INTEL Summit 2024. AI, China, Elections, and Space.
In this latest episode of Headlines and History we review my time at the 2024 Intelligence and National Security Summit hosted in the Washington D.C. area in late August. The summit is designed to bring together intelligence leaders in government, industry, and academia to network and devise ways to make collaboration easier and more efficient. Many topics were discussed during the plenary panels and breakout sessions, but a few key topics stood out: artificial intelligence, China, election interference, and the Space domain. Join me as I discuss the event's highlights and how these topics, and more, affect the foreign affairs and military conflict landscapes. Enjoy!

August 21, 2024 Ep 24: What is happening in Kursk?
In this latest episode of Headlines and History we talk about the story on everyone's mind...Kursk. I explain in American military doctrinal terms what the Ukrainians accomplished on August 6th, 2024, and if they were effective. I discuss whether the prognosticators are correct on what this operation means for the war against Russia and if President Putin can do anything about it. We wrap up by comparing this operation to others in history in an attempt to discern what just might happen going forward. Enjoy!
