The Duran on Odysee

The Duran: Episode 2519Donald Trump's two-day visit to Beijing was billed as a major US-China summit but Alexander Mercouris of The Duran argues it was something far more modest: a business trip with diplomatic window dressing. With no substantive preparation by senior officials, no deep negotiations on Iran, Taiwan, or trade policy, and a delegation stacked almost entirely with CEOs, the real meetings were happening between Elon Musk, Nvidia, and their Chinese counterparts not between Trump and Xi Jinping. Mercouris draws a sharp contrast with Nixon and Kissinger's 1972 approach, which involved months of groundwork before the leaders ever met, and raises a troubling question: has the United States become not just agreement-incapable, but negotiations-incapable? Meanwhile, Putin's imminent visit to China promises a very different dynamic one built on continuous dialogue and genuine strategic depth. Is American foreign policy now little more than deal-making while the real geopolitical game moves on without it?00:00:00 Introduction: Trump-Xi summit overview00:01:22 Ceremony over substance: what the meeting revealed00:02:33 Why real summits require months of preparation00:03:38 The Anchorage comparison: a pattern of unpreparedness00:04:50 The Tajikistan signal: China not fully focused00:06:14 Red lines exchanged: Iran, Taiwan, rare earths00:07:32 The Nixon-Kissinger model: what real diplomacy looks like00:09:47 Where do we go from here?00:10:10 The real meeting: Musk, Nvidia, and the business deals00:13:13 Putin's upcoming China visit: a different dynamic00:15:25 America's diplomacy problem: negotiations incapable?00:17:59 The energy blockade strategy explained00:20:09 Why China already knows everything the US is doing00:21:12 The failed grand strategy: Venezuela, Iran, Russia00:23:18 What this summit signals to Beijing00:23:51 Wrap-up and closing***THE DURAN SHOP***https://theduranshop.com***REVERSE GEAR SHOP***Athleisure with Stylehttps://reversegear.shop/***THE DURAN COMMUNITY ON LOCALS***https://theduran.locals.com Join Now Get 1 Month Free Trial***OUR OFFICIAL CHANNELS***ALEXANDER: https://www.youtube.com/AlexanderMercourisRealALEX: https://www.youtube.com/alexchristoforou***CRYPTO SUPPORT***BITCOIN: 3JvdnoyWMb93hSRgk58ZstUxg11PW9mKSrETHEREUM: 0xF39BdFb41f639B82E3D2Bf022828bC6394F533A3LTC: MGFiMC18ZViF6DcCixMqAAP11TG4tF6AcjEMC2: EXX4KK9pZLx7uiLWnCXtp7iMKjtq6o5b6R***DONATE***CREDIT CARD: https://donorbox.org/the-duranSUBSCRIBE STAR: https://subscribestar.com/theduran PATREON: https://patreon.com/theduran***VIDEO***RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/c/theduranODYSEE: https://odysee.com/@theduranBITCHUTE: https://www.bitchute.com/theduran/***AUDIO***SPOTIFY: https://spoti.fi/3pMrfPDAPPLE PODCASTS: https://apple.co/2H9Hk0aSOUNDCLOUD: https://bit.ly/354ASQ9***FREE SPEECH***TELEGRAM: https://t.me/thedurancom X (Twitter): https://x.com/TheDuranReal?s=20GAB: https://gab.ai/TheDuranMINDS: https://minds.com/theduranAmazing music contribution from Peter Brown.

The Duran: Episode 2518Donald Trump is heading to Beijing for a two-day summit with Xi Jinping, but according to Alexander Mercouris and Alex Christoforou on The Duran, he's arriving in a far weaker position than he ever anticipated. China has effectively won the trade wars, the US tariff strategy has been repeatedly struck down by the courts, and Iran which Trump hoped to use as leverage over Beijing has proven far more resilient than expected. With China holding the cards on rare earths, energy, and Iran diplomacy, Beijing has little incentive to offer concessions, leaving Trump to negotiate from a position of dependency rather than strength. Meanwhile, neocon architect Robert Kagan has published a chilling Atlantic article that, when read carefully, is quietly making the case for a full-scale US ground invasion of Iran a warning The Duran unpacks in detail. Is Washington's neocon establishment pushing America toward its most dangerous escalation yet, and does Trump have any way out?00:00:00 Introduction: Trump-Xi Beijing summit overview00:00:31 Agenda: Iran, Taiwan, trade, and rare earths00:00:55 Context: A difficult year in US-China relations00:01:24 Trump's tariff problems and Supreme Court losses00:02:10 How China won the trade wars00:03:18 Iran factor: Trump's failed strategy for leverage00:04:25 Trump goes to Beijing with a weak hand00:05:24 Is Trump looking for a way out of the Iran conflict?00:07:20 China's oil reserves and energy resilience00:09:52 China's strategy: wait it out, like the Vietnam era00:10:56 Chinese diplomatic style vs. the Russian approach00:11:28 What does Trump actually want from China?00:13:44 Kagan and Nuland: the Atlantic article decoded00:15:32 Nuland, Ukraine 2014, and the neocon memory hole00:17:18 Kagan's ground invasion blueprint for Iran***THE DURAN SHOP***https://theduranshop.com***REVERSE GEAR SHOP***Athleisure with Stylehttps://reversegear.shop/***THE DURAN COMMUNITY ON LOCALS***https://theduran.locals.com Join Now Get 1 Month Free Trial***OUR OFFICIAL CHANNELS***ALEXANDER: https://www.youtube.com/AlexanderMercourisRealALEX: https://www.youtube.com/alexchristoforou***CRYPTO SUPPORT***BITCOIN: 3JvdnoyWMb93hSRgk58ZstUxg11PW9mKSrETHEREUM: 0xF39BdFb41f639B82E3D2Bf022828bC6394F533A3LTC: MGFiMC18ZViF6DcCixMqAAP11TG4tF6AcjEMC2: EXX4KK9pZLx7uiLWnCXtp7iMKjtq6o5b6R***DONATE***CREDIT CARD: https://donorbox.org/the-duranSUBSCRIBE STAR: https://subscribestar.com/theduran PATREON: https://patreon.com/theduran***VIDEO***RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/c/theduranODYSEE: https://odysee.com/@theduranBITCHUTE: https://www.bitchute.com/theduran/***AUDIO***SPOTIFY: https://spoti.fi/3pMrfPDAPPLE PODCASTS: https://apple.co/2H9Hk0aSOUNDCLOUD: https://bit.ly/354ASQ9***FREE SPEECH***TELEGRAM: https://t.me/thedurancom X (Twitter): https://x.com/TheDuranReal?s=20GAB: https://gab.ai/TheDuranMINDS: https://minds.com/theduranAmazing music contribution from Peter Brown.

The Duran: Episode 2517Putin has made it official: Europe is Russia's true enemy, not America. In this latest breakdown from The Duran, Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris unpack the seismic fallout from Putin's Victory Day press conference where the Russian president delivered his most scathing attack on European leadership ever recorded, revealing how he believes Macron and Boris Johnson conspired to sabotage the Istanbul peace deal. The pair also reveal how a direct Trump-Putin phone call forced Zelensky to stand down from a planned May 9th strike on Moscow, marking the first time Washington has actively restrained Ukraine since the conflict began. With Russia now pivoting its energy future entirely toward China and the Power Siberia pipeline expansion, the economic divorce from Europe looks permanent. Is "Project Ukraine" the Western plan to break up Russia — truly finished, and what does Putin's new assertiveness mean for the next phase of this conflict?00:00:00 Introduction: ceasefire ends, Victory Day recap00:01:27 The Trump-Putin April 29 call that changed everything00:02:12 Putin's ultimatum: attack the parade and Kiev gets hit00:03:18 How America forced Zelensky to stand down00:04:10 Putin's press conference: Europe declared the real enemy00:05:38 Putin blames Europe, not America — why?00:07:13 Clinton era parallels: plundering Russia in the 1990s00:09:39 Is Putin's anti-Europe stance strategic or sincere?00:11:42 Macron's phone call, Istanbul betrayal, and Putin's anger00:18:54 Negotiations at a dead end — what happens next?00:20:30 The TASS misquote: "the war is ending" debunked00:22:10 Project Ukraine: what it was and why Putin says it failed00:24:07 Russia-China energy mega-deal and Power Siberia pipeline00:25:22 Putin's lawyer strategy: offers designed to be rejected00:28:25 Russia-Europe relations: permanently over?00:32:18 Medvedev positioning for a presidential run?00:35:02 How Victory Day changed Putin's mood and posture***THE DURAN SHOP***https://theduranshop.com***REVERSE GEAR SHOP***Athleisure with Stylehttps://reversegear.shop/***THE DURAN COMMUNITY ON LOCALS***https://theduran.locals.com Join Now Get 1 Month Free Trial***OUR OFFICIAL CHANNELS***ALEXANDER: https://www.youtube.com/AlexanderMercourisRealALEX: https://www.youtube.com/alexchristoforou***CRYPTO SUPPORT***BITCOIN: 3JvdnoyWMb93hSRgk58ZstUxg11PW9mKSrETHEREUM: 0xF39BdFb41f639B82E3D2Bf022828bC6394F533A3LTC: MGFiMC18ZViF6DcCixMqAAP11TG4tF6AcjEMC2: EXX4KK9pZLx7uiLWnCXtp7iMKjtq6o5b6R***DONATE***CREDIT CARD: https://donorbox.org/the-duranSUBSCRIBE STAR: https://subscribestar.com/theduran PATREON: https://patreon.com/theduran***VIDEO***RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/c/theduranODYSEE: https://odysee.com/@theduranBITCHUTE: https://www.bitchute.com/theduran/***AUDIO***SPOTIFY: https://spoti.fi/3pMrfPDAPPLE PODCASTS: https://apple.co/2H9Hk0aSOUNDCLOUD: https://bit.ly/354ASQ9***FREE SPEECH***TELEGRAM: https://t.me/thedurancom X (Twitter): https://x.com/TheDuranReal?s=20GAB: https://gab.ai/TheDuranMINDS: https://minds.com/theduranAmazing music contribution from Peter Brown.

Starmer Judgment Day: Blairite Plot To Take PowerThe Duran: Episode 2516Keir Starmer is on the brink and the Blairite faction inside the Labour Party is moving fast to replace him with their preferred candidate, Wes Streeting. Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris of The Duran break down the unfolding political coup in the UK, from Starmer's desperate last ditch appointments of Gordon Brown and Harriet Harman to the coordinated parliamentary rebellion now forcing his hand. The real story isn't about ideology — it's about which faction of globalist insiders gets to control Britain's direction from now until 2029, continuing the pro Ukraine agenda, immigration policy, and quiet Brexit reversal. Meanwhile, Angela Rayner's conveniently prolonged tax investigation and Streeting's own Mandelson connections raise serious questions about how clean this so called "change" really is. Is this a genuine political reset for Britain or just the same establishment reshuffling its personnel while ordinary people pay the price?00:00:00 Introduction Starmer's crisis appointments Gordon Brown & Harriet Harman00:01:07 Post local election fallout the make or break weekend pattern in UK politics00:02:14 Starmer in serious trouble denial delusion & the reshuffle that never happened00:03:38 Gordon Brown's appointment why it's a strange and desperate move00:04:57 Harriet Harman a controversial choice that signals deeper weakness00:06:06 The speech strategy Starmer's last ditch attempt to shore up support00:07:14 The Blairite plot MPs rebel and the plan to install Wes Streeting00:08:29 Mandelson Angela Rayner & the factional chess game00:09:26 How does the handover work the Labour leadership succession process explained00:10:22 The Blairite argument why Rayner and Burnham are being sidelined00:12:13 Globalists left and right the real spectrum inside the Labour Party00:13:33 What would Streeting or Rayner actually do differently00:16:52 Why Blair wants Streeting and why the public doesn't00:20:12 Angela Rayner's tax scandal is it being deliberately prolonged00:23:40 Streeting's Mandelson connection will it haunt him00:24:30 The real goal survival to 2029 Ukraine Brexit reversal & migration***THE DURAN SHOP***https://theduranshop.com***REVERSE GEAR SHOP***Athleisure with Stylehttps://reversegear.shop/***THE DURAN COMMUNITY ON LOCALS***https://theduran.locals.com Join Now Get 1 Month Free Trial***OUR OFFICIAL CHANNELS***ALEXANDER: https://www.youtube.com/AlexanderMercourisRealALEX: https://www.youtube.com/alexchristoforou***CRYPTO SUPPORT***BITCOIN: 3JvdnoyWMb93hSRgk58ZstUxg11PW9mKSrETHEREUM: 0xF39BdFb41f639B82E3D2Bf022828bC6394F533A3LTC: MGFiMC18ZViF6DcCixMqAAP11TG4tF6AcjEMC2: EXX4KK9pZLx7uiLWnCXtp7iMKjtq6o5b6R***DONATE***CREDIT CARD: https://donorbox.org/the-duranSUBSCRIBE STAR: https://subscribestar.com/theduran PATREON: https://patreon.com/theduran***VIDEO***RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/c/theduranODYSEE: https://odysee.com/@theduranBITCHUTE: https://www.bitchute.com/theduran/***AUDIO***SPOTIFY: https://spoti.fi/3pMrfPDAPPLE PODCASTS: https://apple.co/2H9Hk0aSOUNDCLOUD: https://bit.ly/354ASQ9***FREE SPEECH***TELEGRAM: https://t.me/thedurancom X (Twitter): https://x.com/TheDuranReal?s=20GAB: https://gab.ai/TheDuranMINDS: https://minds.com/theduranAmazing music contribution from Peter Brown.

Follow Stanislav Krapivnik:https://www.youtube.com/@MrSlavikman/videosRussia doesn't wage war the way the West does and that difference may be deciding the outcome in Ukraine, the Middle East, and now Africa. In this deep-dive episode, Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris are joined by military analyst Stanislav Krapyvnik, fresh from a visit to the Donbas front, for a sweeping breakdown of three simultaneous conflicts and the radically different military doctrines driving them. From Russia's systematic, science-based approach to warfare versus America's personality-driven "art of war," to the reorganization of Russian drone battalions, the gamification of Ukrainian drone kills, and the depletion of US Patriot missile stockpiles in the Iran campaign every thread points to a single uncomfortable conclusion. With Kupyansk fallen, Konstantinovka more than half-captured, and Russian forces just 10 kilometers from Sumy, the question isn't whether the front is moving it's how fast, and what comes after.

UK Elections: Labour Crushed, Reform LandslideThe Duran: Episode 2515Britain's political landscape was shattered overnight as Reform UK delivered a historic landslide in the 2025 local elections, signaling a complete collapse of the Labour Party's working-class base and a fundamental realignment of British politics. Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris of The Duran break down why this result goes far beyond a protest vote for the first time in over a century, working-class England has fully divorced itself from the left and handed Nigel Farage the keys to their political identity. With Keir Starmer clinging to power despite approval ratings near 10%, the duo explores whether the Labour Party faces an existential reckoning or whether the globalist establishment will keep Starmer in place as a stabilizing "stopper" against an even faster Reform takeover. Meanwhile, Britain edges toward a financial crisis with debt-to-GDP above 100% and bond yields at G20 highs — yet Starmer's government is pledging billions more to Ukraine. Is this the beginning of the end for Britain's political consensus, or can Reform actually deliver the change voters are demanding?00:00:00 Introduction: UK local election results overview00:00:29 Starmer refuses to resign after devastating results00:00:48 Mercouris: this is a Reform landslide, not just a win00:01:35 Working class England abandons Labour completely00:02:36 Why this moment is unlike any previous Reform surge00:04:06 Nigel Farage becomes the voice of working class England00:04:41 Is this an existential crisis for the Labour Party?00:06:36 Will Reform actually govern differently on foreign policy?00:10:23 Britain's financial crisis: debt, bonds, and a possible IMF bailout00:12:42 Should Starmer step down?

The Duran: Episode 2514Russia has just issued its most serious military warning of the entire conflict and the world should be paying close attention. On The Duran, Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris break down the explosive situation unfolding around Russia's Victory Day ceasefire, after Ukraine launched a massive wave of 260–300 drones deep into Russian territory in direct defiance of Moscow's ultimatum. The Russian Defense Ministry not Putin, not Lavrov, but the military itself has formally stated that a Ukrainian attack on the Victory Day parade in Moscow will trigger a retaliatory strike on central Kiev, with Western diplomats explicitly warned they are not safe. Zelensky appears to be gambling that Russia is bluffing, while Germany and NATO back his play, but inside the Kremlin, the hawks in the Defense Ministry, Foreign Ministry, and intelligence agencies are now firmly in control, leaving Putin increasingly isolated in his pursuit of diplomacy with Trump. Is this the moment the Russia-Ukraine conflict spirals into something far more dangerous and is Zelensky deliberately trying to force an escalation that pulls the West back in?00:00:00 - Introduction: Russia's Victory Day Ceasefire Announced00:02:17 - Why Ukraine Was Never Going to Honor the Ceasefire00:03:11 - Zelensky's Phony Counter-Ceasefire Explained00:04:37 - Ukraine Drone Escalation: Baltic States Overflight Confirmed00:05:22 - Russia's Unprecedented Threat to Strike Central Kiev00:07:35 - Is Zelensky Trying to Drag NATO Back Into the War?00:10:52 - Was Zelensky's Ceasefire an Attempt at a Face-Saving Offramp?00:13:00 - The West Calls Russia's Bluff: Germany's Dangerous Gamble00:16:26 - The Two Scenarios: Russia Looks Weak or NATO Goes to War00:22:09 - Red Square as Sacred Space: Why Moscow Is a Red Line00:24:06 - Why Did Russia Telegraph Its Warning?

Follow Jeffrey Sachs: https://www.jeffsachs.org/The Center for Sustainable Development: https://csd.columbia.edu/Professor Jeffrey Sachs joins Alexander Mercouris and The Duran for one of the most important analyses of the Iran conflict yet and his verdict is damning. Sachs reveals that Trump's attack on Iran on February 28th was conceived as a one-day regime change operation modeled on Venezuela, a plan that collapsed within hours when Iran's IRGC reconstituted its command and launched a devastating counterattack. With the Strait of Hormuz partially closed and oil prices swinging between $100 and $120 a barrel, Sachs warns the world is facing a supply shock potentially far worse than the stagflation crises of the 1970s one that threatens cascading financial collapse across every economy, regardless of whether a country exports or imports oil. Beyond the economics, Sachs delivers a blunt indictment of US diplomacy: Washington doesn't negotiate in good faith, it negotiates to dominate and Iran, one of the world's oldest and most technologically sophisticated civilizations, was never going to fold the way the architects of this operation imagined. Can Trump find an exit ramp before the situation escalates into something truly catastrophic, or is the world already paying the price for the greatest foreign policy miscalculation of the century?00:00:00 Introduction, Mercouris frames the Iran conflict with Prof. Jeffrey Sachs00:01:04 Sachs confirms: this was a regime change operation modeled on Venezuela00:02:28 Netanyahu's role, what Trump and Mossad promised before the attack00:03:35 Iran's counterattack: IRGC reconstituted within hours, damage escalating00:04:24 Trump's two options: escalate or declare victory and exit00:05:12 Netanyahu's goal keeping the US in the war at all costs00:06:23 Trump's pressure points: polls, midterms, Saudi & Russian signals00:07:36 Why a comprehensive peace deal is off the table00:09:31 Hormuz and the global economy Mercouris sets up the supply shock question00:10:53 Sachs: oil spiked 50%, two blockades, and the threat of physical infrastructure destruction00:13:28 Supply shock explained worse than the 1970s oil crises and stagflation00:17:54 How the oil shock hits every economy gas prices, food, manufacturing00:20:27 Oil exporters vs importers why no country is truly insulated00:26:42 Back to negotiations why the US is structurally incapable of good faith00:29:24 US statecraft as dominance, not diplomacy the bully model explained00:33:46 Trump as the caricature of bad faith and why voters chose the bully00:36:41 Ukraine parallel NATO expansion, Minsk 2, and decades of broken promises00:38:35 Iran as a civilizational state. 5,000 years of history, advanced science & technology00:41:11 Eurasia rising and Europe's self-imposed isolation from the world economy***THE DURAN SHOP***https://theduranshop.com***REVERSE GEAR SHOP***Athleisure with Stylehttps://reversegear.shop/***THE DURAN COMMUNITY ON LOCALS***https://theduran.locals.com Join Now Get 1 Month Free Trial***OUR OFFICIAL CHANNELS***ALEXANDER: https://www.youtube.com/AlexanderMercourisRealALEX: https://www.youtube.com/alexchristoforou***CRYPTO SUPPORT***BITCOIN: 3JvdnoyWMb93hSRgk58ZstUxg11PW9mKSrETHEREUM: 0xF39BdFb41f639B82E3D2Bf022828bC6394F533A3LTC: MGFiMC18ZViF6DcCixMqAAP11TG4tF6AcjEMC2: EXX4KK9pZLx7uiLWnCXtp7iMKjtq6o5b6R***DONATE***CREDIT CARD: https://donorbox.org/the-duranSUBSCRIBE STAR: https://subscribestar.com/theduran PATREON: https://patreon.com/theduran***VIDEO***RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/c/theduranODYSEE: https://odysee.com/@theduranBITCHUTE: https://www.bitchute.com/theduran/***AUDIO***SPOTIFY: https://spoti.fi/3pMrfPDAPPLE PODCASTS: https://apple.co/2H9Hk0aSOUNDCLOUD: https://bit.ly/354ASQ9***FREE SPEECH***TELEGRAM: https://t.me/thedurancom X (Twitter): https://x.com/TheDuranReal?s=20GAB: https://gab.ai/TheDuranMINDS: https://minds.com/theduranAmazing music contribution from Peter Brown.

In a landmark conversation on The Duran, Alexander Mercouris and Alex Christoforou sit down with Trita Parsi to dissect exactly how America's 40-year obsession with finding a "silver bullet" against Iran has brought Washington to its weakest position in the Middle East since 1979. Parsi argues that the naval blockade of Iran sold to Trump as the final pressure tool that would force capitulation was built on dangerously flimsy analysis, and that the window for Trump to negotiate a genuine exit and spin it as a win is rapidly closing. From Iran's nuclear calculus and the prospect of a grand bargain replacing the JCPOA, to the long-term unraveling of the American security umbrella across the Gulf states, this episode maps out the tectonic shift now reshaping the global order. The question is no longer whether US primacy in the Middle East is ending it's whether Washington will recognize it in time to leave on its own terms.00:00:00 Introduction — Trita Parsi joins The Duran for the first time00:00:51 Where to follow Trita Parsi: Substack, Twitter, Quincy Institute00:01:17 Setting the scene: yesterday's Hormuz events and what they mean00:02:18 The blockade as a failed silver bullet — Parsi's key article explained00:03:26 40 years of US "silver bullet" thinking on Iran — and why it always fails00:04:42 Why the ceasefire was lopsided against Iran from the start00:05:55 Iran only accepted the ceasefire under pressure from China and Pakistan00:07:10 Why the US Navy won't actually escort ships through Hormuz00:08:20 UAE drone strike: Iran signals it still has escalation dominance00:09:38 Iran's original opposition to the ceasefire — the inside story00:10:28 What would it actually take to force open the Strait of Hormuz?00:11:36 The real military answer: occupying 1,500km of Iranian coastline00:14:13 A watershed moment: the US failed to knock out an adversary on first punch00:16:19 Can this strategy be replicated by other states?

The Duran: Episode 2513Russia's oil export volumes held firm in April and that's just the beginning of the story. In this episode of The Duran, Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris break down the latest Russian economic data, revealing that despite relentless Ukrainian drone strikes on oil infrastructure, Russia's energy revenues are not only surviving but rebounding. The bigger geopolitical earthquake, however, is China's direct order to its state refineries to ignore US sanctions entirely and buy Russian oil without restriction a move that could unravel the entire Western sanctions architecture. As Russia simultaneously cuts off LNG exports to Europe and deepens energy ties with India, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines, a fundamental restructuring of global trade is now underway.

Europe reveals ONLY strategy to DEFEAT RussiaThe Duran: Episode 2512Europe has finally admitted what Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris on The Duran have argued since 2022 that their only remaining strategy to defeat Russia is to engineer an internal collapse, a stunning revelation buried at the bottom of a CNN report citing European intelligence. In this episode, Alexander Mercouris breaks down the accelerating battle for Constantinovka, where Russian forces are closing a cauldron around Ukrainian defenders in what may become the most significant Ukrainian city to fall since Severodonetsk in 2022 a story the Western media has almost entirely ignored until now. The discussion also covers the Armenia summit, where European leaders and NATO allies are racing to pull Yerevan out of Russia's orbit ahead of June elections, despite Putin drawing a clear red line with Pashinyan in Moscow. And then there's the CNN piece: European intelligence leaking claims of coup fears around Putin, Shoygu as a potential challenger, and the Valdai attack as a defining inflection point in Moscow's view of Donald Trump, all of it unverified even by CNN itself, and all of it pointing to a West that has run out of real options.

Follow Ray: https://rvx-am.com - https://x.com/RayZucaroThe global economy is flashing red — and Ray Zucaro explains why. Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris sit down with Ray for a wide-ranging financial analysis covering the UAE's shock exit from OPEC, mounting capital flight from the Gulf running at an estimated $40 billion a week into Hong Kong, and the last major oil deliveries arriving on European shores as the Iran war continues to strangle global energy supply. Ray delivers a stark verdict: with demand destruction accelerating, diesel prices spiking in the American heartland, Jerome Powell refusing to cut rates, and inflation potentially hitting 6% in Britain by August, the world is entering a classic stagflation environment with no obvious exit. From the fragility of European bond markets to the startling possibility of an Argentine move on the Falklands triggering a global liquidity crunch, this is one of the most sobering and clear-eyed financial assessments The Duran has aired this year.

The Duran: Episode 2511Europe's €90 billion loan to Ukraine is not what it appears — and Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris of The Duran break down exactly why. Germany is set to funnel €20 billion directly to Kyiv in what looks less like a loan and more like a financial sleight of hand, all while German citizens endure austerity cuts at home. Meanwhile, Ukraine's long-promised EU membership is hitting a wall of resistance from existing member states — raising a devastating question: was that promise ever real? The Duran traces this deception all the way back to 2013, when the EU dangled membership as bait to rupture the Ukraine-Russia relationship, not to genuinely integrate Ukraine into Europe. As the front lines grind on and drone strikes hit Russian infrastructure, one question remains: has Ukraine been fighting a decade-long conflict for a future it was never actually going to receive?00:00:00 Intro – Ukraine's €90B EU loan & what's really going on00:00:53 Germany's €20B direct transfer: a confidence trick?00:02:32 Germany implementing austerity while funding Zelensky00:04:09 Ukraine demands EU membership – the promise revisited00:05:20 Maidan 2013: it was always about EU entry, not NATO00:07:19 EU pushback: member states don't want Ukraine in00:08:57 The EU bait: Moldova, Serbia – the same playbook00:12:14 Ukraine was duped – hook, line and sinker00:21:02 Drone attacks on Russia: Tuapse refinery explained00:30:08 Putin's indecision?

The Duran: Episode 2510Germany is in crisis. Friedrich Merz and the CDU are pushing Germany toward confrontation with Russia, slashing social services to fund a massive military buildup, and picking fights with both the United States and China — all while Germany's industrial economy collapses to 2008 financial crisis levels. Alexander Mercouris and Alex Christoforou of The Duran break down how Germany is abandoning the very foundations it was built on, why the CDU is united behind this self-destructive course, and whether stoking fear of Russia is the establishment's last desperate move to block the AfD from taking power. Is Germany heading toward a complete political and economic breakdown?00:00:00 Intro — Merz, Germany, and the Russia escalation debate00:00:31 Mercouris: Germany hurtling toward the cliff00:01:35 The foundations of the German Federal Republic explained00:02:54 Why German leaders are always sensitive about the US alliance00:03:56 Quarreling with America during an economic collapse00:04:53 Germany's industrial PMI drops to 2008 crisis levels00:05:28 CDU fully on board — a kamikaze approach to policy00:06:33 Why Merz's unpopularity is an asset for the CDU00:09:03 Regional elections — CDU stable, SPD and FDP collapsing00:11:54 Is stoking Russia fear the CDU's plan to block the AfD?***THE DURAN SHOP***https://theduranshop.com***REVERSE GEAR SHOP***Athleisure with Stylehttps://reversegear.shop/***THE DURAN COMMUNITY ON LOCALS***https://theduran.locals.com Join Now Get 1 Month Free Trial***OUR OFFICIAL CHANNELS***ALEXANDER: https://www.youtube.com/AlexanderMercourisRealALEX: https://www.youtube.com/alexchristoforou***CRYPTO SUPPORT***BITCOIN: 3JvdnoyWMb93hSRgk58ZstUxg11PW9mKSrETHEREUM: 0xF39BdFb41f639B82E3D2Bf022828bC6394F533A3LTC: MGFiMC18ZViF6DcCixMqAAP11TG4tF6AcjEMC2: EXX4KK9pZLx7uiLWnCXtp7iMKjtq6o5b6R***DONATE***CREDIT CARD: https://donorbox.org/the-duranSUBSCRIBE STAR: https://subscribestar.com/theduran PATREON: https://patreon.com/theduran***VIDEO***RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/c/theduranODYSEE: https://odysee.com/@theduranBITCHUTE: https://www.bitchute.com/theduran/***AUDIO***SPOTIFY: https://spoti.fi/3pMrfPDAPPLE PODCASTS: https://apple.co/2H9Hk0aSOUNDCLOUD: https://bit.ly/354ASQ9***FREE SPEECH***TELEGRAM: https://t.me/thedurancom X (Twitter): https://x.com/TheDuranReal?s=20GAB: https://gab.ai/TheDuranMINDS: https://minds.com/theduranAmazing music contribution from Peter Brown.
