Alexander Mercouris reports live from Russia with a damning verdict: after 21 EU sanctions packages, the Russian economy is growing, shops are fully stocked, and the collective West's economic strategy has delivered nothing.
Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris break down the China drone pipeline supplying Ukraine, the mysterious disappearance of Russian central bank chief Nabiullina, Europe's rearmament agenda, and the FSB's failure to protect Russian military officers from a fresh wave of assassinations.
Is the EU's sanctions campaign less about crippling Russia and more about consolidating power in Brussels, and what does Mercouris's firsthand account reveal that Western media refuses to report?

Description:
Alexander Mercouris reports live from Russia with a sweeping analysis of the escalating US strikes on Iran, the growing threat to Hormuz shipping, and the prospect of a sudden oil price shock as the confrontation deepens.
Reporting exclusively from an international conference, Mercouris reveals that Ukrainian drones are built entirely on Chinese components routed through third parties in Malaysia, that China is quietly throttling rare earth and tungsten exports to Europe, and that the Kremlin has issued quiet guidance to Russian media not to criticise Donald Trump, a calculated strategy Alex Christoforou and The Duran have been tracking closely.
With Russian forces closing in on Lyman and Slavyansk and the Donbas front shifting faster than Western media acknowledges, is a cascade collapse of Ukrainian positions now inevitable?

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.

Is the collective West dismantling itself faster than any Russian sanction ever could?
