Description:
For the past decade, we've been programmed with the idea that NATO is obsolete. Now, US forces are withdrawing from Europe and the EUreaucrats have the perfect excuse for their 70-year-old dream: the creation of an EU army. 

Join James for today's edition of Questions For Corbett where he connects the dots from Bilderberg to Trump to the rise of the EU superstate.

The Duran | Armenia Pashinyan Repeats Ukraine's Maidan Mistake, Disaster Looms | June 6, 2026

Source: The Duran YouTube

 

 

Description:
Armenia's Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan is steering his country toward the European Union and NATO in what Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris on The Duran call a near carbon copy of the Maidan playbook that devastated Ukraine, with Russia now cutting Armenian agricultural imports and energy pressure looming over an economy that depends on Moscow for over 80% of its power. 

While Pashinyan promises his people the best of both worlds and a future referendum on alignment, Mercouris argues Armenia is already retreating on every front, having lost Nagorno Karabakh, alienated its primary security guarantor, and left itself encircled by a hostile Azerbaijan and Turkey with no credible Western replacement in sight. Can the EU and US actually prop up a small landlocked country surrounded by rivals, or is Armenia walking blindly into the same trap that brought Ukraine to the brink?

The Duran | E3 wants to talk as Russia makes big advance on frontline | June 4, 2026

Source: The Duran youtube



Description:
While the collective West floods the media with drone strike footage, Russian forces are breaking through in Konstantinovka, Kamatsk, and Slavyansk in what Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris of The Duran describe as an imminent cascade collapse across the entire Donbass fortified line.

Bloomberg reports that the E3, the UK, France, and Germany, are now seeking direct talks with Moscow, but as Mercouris argues, the real driver is not leverage but desperation as Europe quietly acknowledges the situation on the ground is turning fast against Ukraine. Is Russia winning the battlefield while catastrophically losing the information war, and what does that mean for any ceasefire deal?

Description:
A small but vocal group of hardliners is quietly steering Europe toward a potential conflict with Russia by 2030, and Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris on The Duran break down exactly who they are, why the majority of European politicians are failing to stop them, and how Macron's latest tanker seizure fits into a deliberate strategy of manufactured crisis.

At the same time Europe talks tough and seizes ships in the Atlantic, it is quietly easing Russian oil sanctions because it cannot function without that energy, a contradiction so glaring that it raises an obvious question: is this really about standing up to Russia, or is someone using the threat of conflict for entirely different reasons?

Description:
Is NATO provoking a direct war with Russia? The ultimate aim of Project Ukraine has always been to weaken Russia and overthrow Vladimir Putin. To launch the economic, information and ground proxy war on Moscow, NATO needed Russia to invade Ukraine. Now it needs Russia to attack a NATO country to justify direct war on Putin.

Alex Christoforou | NATO freak out Romania drone CRISIS. Armenia looks West, Lavrov mocks Kaja. Ursula targets CHINA | May 29, 2026

Source: Alex Christoforou youtube



Description:
NATO and the EU are in full freakout mode after a drone came down in Romania, with Ursula von der Leyen rushing to announce a 21st sanctions package and European leaders demanding more money for the eastern flank, while Russia's Sergei Lavrov flatly refused to engage with Kallas's demands that Moscow disarm its nuclear arsenal before any talks can begin.

Alex Christoforou of The Duran breaks down the Romania drone incident, Lavrov's blunt response to EU diplomacy, Ursula's push to block Chinese imports, Trump's endorsement of Armenian Prime Minister Pashinyan, and Iran's parliament ruling out any uranium transfer to a third country. 

With Europe escalating on every front while its own economy crumbles and its demands go unacknowledged in Moscow, is the EU's foreign policy producing any results at all?

Description:
Russian forces are closing in on Konstantinovka as Ukrainian resistance in southern Donbass collapses, while new insider intelligence shared with Alexander Mercouris on The Duran reveals the full Oreshnik missile family including bunker busting variants more capable than any weapon the United States has fielded.

As Zelensky slips out of Kiev ahead of a looming Russian strike campaign, Europe's foreign policy establishment led by figures like Kaja Kallas continues to block all negotiation with Moscow, doubling down on military buildups they cannot deliver while the front lines deteriorate by the day. Is Europe sleepwalking toward a direct confrontation with Russia at the very moment Ukraine is running out of time?

The Duran | Mats Nilsson | From Peace Nation to Battlefield, Sweden's NATO Transformation | May 28, 2026

Source: The Duran youtube



Description:
Sweden has quietly ended 200 years of neutrality and is now officially designated as a NATO staging area against Russia, a transformation driven not by public debate but by the behind-the-scenes influence of the powerful Wallenberg banking dynasty and their stakes in Ericsson and Saab.

Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris are joined on The Duran by Swedish dissident journalist Mats Nilsson, who reveals how a series of agreements including the DCA deal, PAX Sinica membership, and a new US technology prosperity pact have locked Sweden into Washington's military-industrial agenda, sidelining the European Union and stripping Sweden of meaningful sovereignty. Did Swedish citizens ever get a vote on becoming a frontline battlefield, and is it already too late to reverse course?
