Description:
Thomas Massie has been defeated in the Kentucky primary by a candidate who refused to debate and barely campaigned, raising uncomfortable questions about money, power, and whether American elections can simply be purchased by the establishment.
Alex Christoforou of The Duran breaks down the Massie loss and the 2028 speculation, then covers Putin's Beijing summit with Xi Jinping where 40 bilateral agreements are being signed, the NATO fighter jet that shot down a Ukrainian drone over Estonia, the UK quietly importing fuel refined from Russian oil as Western sanctions continue to collapse, and the US bond market flashing its most alarming signals since 2007. Is the global order reshaping itself faster than Western leaders are willing to admit?
