RH 4.23.26 | Russia: Drones, Economic Struggles, and Growing Tensions in Georgia

👉 Subscribe to The Restricted Handling Podcast https://www.restrictedhandling.com/  In today's episode, we're diving into Russia's latest moves on the geopolitical chessboard. From escalating drone warfare to internal economic struggles, we're covering it all. Russia continues to struggle under the weight of its own financial troubles, but the Kremlin's staying in the game. We'll talk about the situation with Russia's oil exports, how their internal security is ramping up, and why their economic system is holding on by a thread.  Russia's military is still in high gear, and Ukraine's been getting creative with defense. Drone warfare is the name of the game now, and Ukraine's not just sticking to land-based strikes. They've taken it to the seas, launching naval drones to intercept Russia's aerial attacks. It's like something out of a futuristic war movie, but this is the reality on the front lines. We'll break down the latest with these cutting-edge defense strategies and what it means for the future of warfare.  Meanwhile, back in Russia, the FSB is keeping busy. The Kremlin is tightening its grip on dissent, and the latest story is straight out of a spy novel—an alleged terrorist plot that the FSB says they thwarted. But whether this is a genuine threat or just another move in Russia's internal crackdown, we'll let you be the judge. What's clear is that Russia's security apparatus is on high alert, and they're sending a loud message: Don't mess with the regime.  And don't forget Georgia. Russia's throwing some serious diplomatic weight behind its attempt to keep Georgia from moving further into the European Union. The Kremlin's been warning of sanctions, including restrictions on air travel and visas, if Georgia continues on its EU path. But Georgia's not backing down. They're pushing ahead with their aspirations for membership, and this could turn into a high-stakes showdown between Russia and its neighbors.  From the battlefield to the boardroom, Russia's influence is shifting—and we're here to break it all down. With military operations still ongoing, diplomatic relations shifting, and internal economic challenges, Russia's world is in flux, and the stakes couldn't be higher. We'll give you the inside scoop on everything happening in Russia, from the latest on the front lines to the latest diplomatic games being played.  👉 Subscribe to The Restricted Handling Podcast https://www.restrictedhandling.com/  Get the daily intelligence brief Ryan and Glenn read covering Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, the Middle East, geopolitics, sanctions, military and intel operations.
