John Helmer: PUTIN'S CRISIS OF CONFIDENCE?

Explore the deep internal divisions within the Russian leadership regarding the Ukraine conflict. This analysis breaks down the clash between the oligarch-finance faction pushing for economic stabilization and an end to the war, versus the military-intelligence bloc that distrusts US security guarantees. We examine why the "Anchorage formula" for peace is failing, how NATO's decentralized drone warfare has shifted the battlefield, and the true obstacles to demilitarization. Finally, the discussion draws parallels between Western strategies in Eastern Europe and US policies in the Middle East, concluding that a permanent geopolitical struggle lies ahead. Hosted on Acast.
