Patrick Henningsen with Stanislav Krapivnik on the UN session, where they say leaders walked out on Netanyahu but not on Trump, and on threats of annihilation from a nuclear-armed United States.
Henningsen says Republican polling points to a Vance-Gabbard ticket as an alternative to Trump, and that Tulsi Gabbard has said nothing since leaving as director of national intelligence.

Episode 2038. Alexander examines Russia's Geran drone strikes on the Dnieper bridges in Kiev and the new Russian Foreign Ministry statement telling Western diplomats and foreign nationals they are in mortal danger if they stay in Ukraine.
He explains why Ukraine's air defenses are failing, why Patriot PAC 3 supplies will not arrive in time, and how the quiet Russian offensive in Kharkov, Dobropillia and Zaporozhye connects to the campaign against the capital. If the West and the Zelensky government are pushed out of Kiev, will Europe keep sending billions, a question Mercouris and Alex Christoforou have been asking for months?

Andrei Martyanov on the Center 2026 exercise at the Chebarkul range in Chelyabinsk, with Vladimir Putin present and Valery Gerasimov away running the war. He says the clips show a short-barrel infantry-support gun on T-80 and T-72 chassis, already in serial production for street fighting, and anti-ship missiles.
He then cites 1,157 drones shot down the day before, a daily rate near 1,400, strikes on the ties of Kiev bridges, and pockets around Glukhov in Sumy, Orekhov in Zaporizhzhia, and Vovchansk.
Richard Wolff discusses the implosion of the political and economic system organised around the US, and how the US is responding by returning to more traditional imperialism.
Episode 2196. Russia is hitting the bridges of Kiev and Western embassies are quietly preparing plans to relocate to Lviv or Poland, as Alex breaks down the reports from Klitschko and the Guardian. Alex also covers the secret Camp David meeting on Iran and Yemen, the G7 diesel release, violent student protests across France with Macron nowhere to be seen, and Tucker Carlson's interview with Jacob Rees Mogg on the Budapest Memorandum. Is Kiev about to be isolated as winter approaches, and what does it mean for Zelensky, Trump and Europe?

Russia is moving to isolate Kiev, and on this episode we explain how strikes on the capital's energy grid, power lines, rail links and Dnieper bridges point to a plan to make the city unusable. With Ukraine's economy in freefall and its funding needs climbing toward 200 billion, they argue the EU has one card left to play, which is seizing the frozen Russian assets held at Euroclear, despite objections from Belgium and Putin's warnings at Valdai. If Kiev is cut off and the government is forced to leave, what exactly would that money buy Europe?

Daniel Liszt presents an X-series part 2 with Giza Death Star author Joseph Farrell on White House statements that 'we own the Moon,' rising space-war rhetoric, new Space Force uniforms, and a false CIA UFO threat that blocked UFO-file disclosure.
They also continue their discussion of 9/11 as a deep event after the 25th anniversary, including hidden energy weapons at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon 'disappearing missile.'
Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson and former U.S. Army officer Stanislav Krapivnik examine why Europe is drifting toward direct confrontation with Russia despite lacking the industrial capacity to sustain a major war. Johnson puts the risk of exchanges of fire within seven months at 70 percent.
They also discuss Ukraine’s battlefield position, Russia’s artillery and glide-bomb advantage, whether Israel can survive its current course and the danger that U.S. escalation against Iran could accelerate nuclear proliferation.
Alastair Crooke discusses Trump sending 10,000 more US troops to the Middle East as tensions with Iran reach a breaking point. With a third US aircraft carrier heading toward Iran, Alastair Crooke breaks down the real consequences of the US-Israeli march back to war and Iran's devastating card it has yet to play.
Alastair Crooke is a former British diplomat and the Founder of the Conflicts Forum based in Beirut.
Paul Stonehill on Russian physicists at Tomsk State University who revived the ancient light telegraph as an ultraviolet link for short ranges, where radio is easy to intercept and jam. A thin platinum layer on gallium oxide made the receiver about a thousand times faster, with no external power, so drones, vehicles, or a small group can pass a signal the eye cannot see.
Today James talks to Barry Cooper about his remarkable journey from being one of the top narcotics officers in Texas law enforcement to an activist busting crooked cops and helping drug users avoid arrest.
