Alex Christoforou | Putin Called a 'Player'; Zelensky NATO Jedi Trick; Oil Surge, Bonds Spike; Serbia Rally | Oct. 23, 2026

Source: Alex Christoforou youtube



Description: 

Washington has reportedly handed Russia yet another peace plan for Ukraine, complete with a Donbas demilitarized zone, sanctions relief and a single reopened Nord Stream pipeline, and Alex explains why it is the same old offer in new packaging. Alex breaks down Europe auditioning Meloni, Stubb and Frederiksen to negotiate with Putin, Zelensky's media blitz, the Abu Dhabi talks, Trump and Musk on Starlink, oil at $113 and Macron's move to ban protests as French bond yields soar. Is the West finally negotiating, or just hoping to wear down the Kremlin?

The Duran | France and the hollowing out of Europe | Oct. 21, 2026

Description:
France is in flames and Macron has left the country, but in this episode we argue this is not just a French crisis, it is a European one rooted in a Brussels center that now controls borders, migration, the euro, foreign policy and Project Ukraine. From Orban and Georgescu to Meloni, Le Pen, Merz and the AfD, we explain why national governments can no longer answer to their own voters, and why Macron may already have his eyes on the European Central Bank as Lagarde moves on. Will the EU outlive the very nations it was built on?

Description: 

Europe is finally ready to talk to Russia, but the two option offer reported by the Financial Times looks designed to be rejected. Alex walks through the Witkoff Oslo meeting with the E4, Zelensky lobbying US senators against Trump, Elon Musk distancing Starlink from Star Shield, plus curfews in France, Albania blaming Russia for its protests, the Kim Jong Un coma rumor and Christiane Amanpour leaving CNN. Why would Putin pick either door when Russia is already winning?

In the video I reference the Putin-Trump call on October 9th. I said "December 9th" multiple times. This is my mistake. I meant to say October 9th. My apologies for the error.

Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump may meet at the APEC summit in China to discuss Ukraine, and Zelensky is not invited. Alex breaks down the Wall Street Journal report, Trump's blunt Truth Social message to Zelensky after pausing Graham's sanctions, Russia's Rasvet guided strikes on western Ukraine, and Macron's speech blaming Trump for fuel prices before flying off to the Gulf. Is Europe's leadership running out of excuses as protests spread from Paris to Milan?

Big Three, real one. Stand-off arsenals. Andrei Martyanov says political and military elites have brought Europe to the end, with France convulsing, and that only the United States, China, and Russia will decide a relatively peaceful world, because Russia's standoff arsenal, used every day, is not comparable to what he says remains of U.S. munitions after the Iran war.

Alexander Mercouris | NATO Generals Rush To Kiev; Surovikin Directs Dnieper Bridge Strikes; Peskov: Peace Talks Pointless | Oct. 8, 2026

Source: Alexander Mercouris youtube



Description: 

Alexander examines why the largest NATO military delegation in eight years made an unannounced trip to Kiev just as the Dnieper bridges go down and the front lines buckle at Dobropillia and Lyman. Drawing on a trusted source, Alexander explains why Russia is weakening the bridges rather than destroying them, how that links to rumors of General Surovikin's return, and what Peskov, Lavrov and Rubio saying talks are pointless means for the months ahead. If the generals came to Kiev to be told all is well, who is left to tell them the truth?

The Duran | France Protests Spiral Out of Control as Euro Crisis Looms | Oct. 8, 2026

Description: 

France is spiraling as student protests turn violent, bond yields climb and the debt crisis deepens, while President Macron looks everywhere except home. In this episode we break down how the euro crushed French competitiveness, how Macron's parliamentary election gamble left a broken parliament and sidelined Marine Le Pen's National Rally, and why rumors now point to Macron angling for the top job at the European Central Bank after Christine Lagarde. Is France too big to bail out, and could a French crisis finally bring down the entire euro system?
