The Duran | Russia Votes for Stability. West Panics Over Looming Defeat | Sept. 22, 2026

Labels , , , , , ,

Source: The Duran youtube



Description:
Russia just delivered a vote of confidence in Putin as the Duma election results confirm total political stability despite a massive Western backed drone offensive designed to disrupt them. 

In this episode we break down why United Russia's dominant win, the rise of veteran soldiers in the new parliament, and Poland's Sikorski openly admitting the sabotage narrative is being used to justify soaring military budgets all point to a collective West growing more desperate and more dangerous as it faces defeat in Ukraine. With diplomacy stalled and BRICS nations defying new sanctions on Russia, is Washington and Europe now bracing for a war they cannot win?

Jim Jatras | Russia UNLEASHES Strikes Across Ukraine as Kiev's Election-Day DRONE Attack BACKFIRES | Sept. 22, 2026

Description:
Ukraine is being credited in the West for carrying out its largest drone attack yet, as the Russian Defense Ministry announced it shot down over 1,600 drones going into the final day of Russian parliamentary elections. Russia is now retaliating, carrying out new waves of strikes across Ukraine.

Former U.S. Diplomat and Geopolitical Analyst, Jim Jatras, noted that Russia needs to decide what its “end game” looks like in both Ukraine, and in its relationship with NATO. He also said that while Moscow may be trying to carry out this war slowly, a quick victory would be the biggest warning to Europe and the U.S. to LEAVE RUSSIA ALONE.
