Russia secured a decisive geopolitical victory on Victory Day 2026 forcing Zelensky to accept a ceasefire he desperately wanted to avoid. Alexander Mercouris of The Duran breaks down how Putin leveraged a direct warning to Trump through their recent phone call, resulting in the US pressuring Ukraine to stand down and allowing the Moscow parade to proceed without incident, accompanied by a 1,000-prisoner exchange on each side.
Beyond Ukraine, Alex Christoforou and Mercouris examine explosive new reporting from The Economist revealing that Russia provided Iran with a three-stage military strategy including unjammable fiber-optic drone technology to counter any US ground operation, raising serious questions about how far the Russia-Iran-China axis will go as the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed to global shipping.
With Saudi Arabia and Qatar now reportedly entertaining a China-Russia regional security framework that would end American military dominance in the Persian Gulf, and the UK’s political establishment crumbling under the weight of Reform Party and Green Party surges, the global order is shifting faster than Western media is willing to admit are we watching the old world order collapse in real time? 00:00:00
