Through an aggressive, ongoing drone and missile campaign, Ukrainian forces have severely damaged land bridges, targeted dozens of Russian oil tankers in the Sea of Azov, and destroyed regional power hubs. This sustained offensive has prompted Russian authorities to declare a state of emergency across the peninsula amid critical fuel shortages and widespread power blackouts.

The bill would hit countries buying Russian oil, uranium, and gas including LNG with heavy tariffs. Considering the EU is still importing record volumes of Russian LNG from projects like Yamal, this could create real tension between sanctions goals and energy reality. Senate leaders are pushing to pass it fast as a fitting legacy for Graham. Source: CNN / Writer: Lucas #CIA #FBI #ODNI Russia End State: Unravelling of an Empire? | George C.

To get from “Bratva’s Imperial Putinism” (a state run by a security-mafia syndicate fueled by revanchist grievance) to a “normal European state,” the current system must unravel. A normal European state is defined by defined borders, the rule of law, and a civic national identity rather than an imperial one. For Russia, becoming a “nation” requires the death of the “empire.” Here is how poli Espionage history meets modern warfare and political spectacle Espionage history meets modern warfare and political spectacle China’s warning to Russia: NO NUKES! – Google Search !&rlz=1C1ONGR_enUS1133US1133&oq=China%27s+warning+to+Russia%3A+NO+NUKES!&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOdIBCTM3NTExajBqN6gCALACAA&sourceid=chrome&source=chrome.ob&ie=UTF-8 #CIA #Russia #Putin How will Russia unravel? From the Golden Horde, via the Bratva’s Imperial Putinism, to the “NORMAL European State”. How will Russia unravel? Via Putin’s reckless war on Ukraine. The resulting systemic brittleness could trigger wider domestic unrest. Instead of a sudden, dramatic collapse, experts suggest Russia is undergoing a slow, structural deterioration. The ongoing conflict in Ukraine is draining the country’s economic foundations, shrinking its human capital, and eroding its geopolitical influence.

Operating from Arctic waters, this heavily armed surface combatant can now strike targets as far as the Norwegian Sea, presenting a direct threat to NATO’s northern flank and Atlantic sea lines of communication.

The Pantsir-S1 was designed to protect high-value assets from cruise missiles and aircraft. But its radars struggle to track small, low-flying UAVs, a problem Russian defense experts flagged as far back as 2018 after what it experienced in Syria. Ukraine’s coordinated swarms often contain hundreds of drones approaching from multiple directions, designed to overwhelm Russia’s systems.
