Two numbers explain everything. It's the weakness of Trump’s political position (36% poll rating), and Putin’s economy (Urals crude $36 a barrel) that define why this barrage of fake diplomacy has broken out now, and why it’s so irrationally ferocious. youtu.be/tpxGLTqXeBA

The tyrant in the Kremlin does not tolerate dissenting voices, and when you're on their radar, it can be worrying. This week Dugin threatened my friend Konstantin. It's concerning, but also suggests his work is making a difference and having an impact. youtu.be/nkwzCjLi_Ik

Konstantin's truth telling on his 'Inside Russia' YouTube channel is becoming inconvenient for figures close to the Kremlin - He's now on Alexander Dugin's radar, and is on the receiving end of very threatening social media posts from Tsar's philosopher.

Putin’s regime hits an iceberg – the collapse of Urals crude oil to thirty-six dollars a barrel. Russia’s flagship Urals crude has collapsed to its lowest price since early 2023 – just as U.S. sanctions on Rosneft and Lukoil, are about to fully bite. youtu.be/Dg1KpxxuSJU
