MBS Is Trapped. Europe is Doomed

Sun, 20 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Saudi Arabia is trapped, unable to export its own oil as the Houthis advance and a shattered pipeline chokes off supply to Europe. In this episode we break down how MBS gambled everything on Donald Trump, why that bet is now backfiring, and how the coming diesel and gas crisis could hit Poland, France and the rest of Europe just as winter approaches. Could a call to Vladimir Putin be the only move MBS has left?

500 Locomotives Destroyed, Warehouses Gone; Front Lines Crumble

Sat, 19 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Russia is dismantling Ukraine's ability to fight, destroying hundreds of locomotives, most of its warehouses, and now bombing the Zatoka bridge as fuel and ports run dry. In this episode we break down why Orikhiv is close to falling, why Ukraine's Lyman counteroffensive is really about spinning a victory story for Zelensky's meeting with Trump, and why the Kremlin has turned far more hardline on any diplomatic solution. Is Ukraine's economy collapsing faster than anyone in the West wants to admit?

The Duran: Episode 2627
00:00:00 Continued Russian strikes on Kyiv Odessa Zaporizhzhia and Dnipro
00:01:42 Mercouris says the Russian air campaign is unbroken and daily
00:02:44 Russia shifts to strike industrial targets and Zatoka bridge
00:05:11 Russia has destroyed 30 to 60 percent of Ukraine's warehouses
00:06:21 Russia's Razvet system targets locomotives with precision
00:07:58 Ukraine begs Europe for locomotives that do not exist
00:08:24 Blockaded ports and fuel shortages push Ukraine toward collapse
00:09:43 Tense exchange between Greece and Ukraine
00:11:16 Mercouris compares the campaign to the 1991 air war against Iraq
00:12:56 A wasted year of diplomacy leaves the Kremlin far more hardline
00:15:47 Talks go nowhere as BRICS states defy the Lindsey Graham sanctions
00:20:11 100 percent secondary sanctions on India and China
00:24:53 Orikhiv is close to falling in Zaporizhzhia
00:27:48 Dobropillya cluster under assault threatens Kramatorsk

UK Breakup on the Table; Merz CDU Collapse

Sat, 19 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland just signed a declaration pushing for secession from the United Kingdom. Alexander breaks down why Northern Ireland looks closest to actually leaving while Wales still has a long way to go. In this episode we unpack the odd contradiction of parties demanding sovereignty from London only to hand it straight to Brussels, plus why Germany's CDU may be about to abandon Friedrich Merz. Is the United Kingdom quietly starting to come apart?

The Duran: Episode 2626
00:00:00 Scotland Wales and Northern Ireland sign secession declaration
00:01:01 Mercouris calls it mostly a media PR stunt for now
00:01:28 Why Northern Ireland is likely to join the Republic of Ireland
00:03:29 Scotland and Wales are on very different timelines toward independence
00:04:28 Economic decline and rising English nationalism as wildcards
00:05:38 The contradiction of leaving the UK just to join the EU
00:06:23 Wales voted leave in Brexit and Brussels remains unpopular there
00:08:45 Scotland's independence debate and whether it would stay in the EU
00:10:21 Could Scotland Norway and Iceland form their own outside bloc
00:10:41 Friedrich Merz and the CDU collapse in Mecklenburg Vorpommern

Saudi Arabia is facing its greatest crisis since the founding of the kingdom, as Houthi forces seize the Red Sea coast and a crippling strike knocks out the East West pipeline, cutting off nearly all Saudi oil exports.

Russia Begins To Isolate Kiev. Elites Rattled as Rail Link Hit

Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Trump publicly blames Zelensky for the diesel price shortage even though he personally authorized the strikes on Russian oil refineries that caused it. In this episode we break down how the failed Ukrainian drone offensive, Eric Schmidt's grim admission that Kiev is losing the war, and new Russian strikes on the Kiev to Poland rail line all point toward Russia tightening its grip on the Ukrainian capital much like it did in Odessa. Is Washington preparing to abandon Kiev, or will the pressure for escalation from Sikorski, Rutte and Schmidt win out?

Merz Failed Platform of War and Deindustrialization

Sun, 13 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Germany is in political turmoil as the AfD surges to record highs following the Saxony Anhalt election, leaving Chancellor Friedrich Merz and his CDU government reeling. In this episode we break down why Merz looks like a dead man walking, how his disastrous Bundestag clash with Alice Weidel exposed the CDU's weakness, and why Brussels may punish German voters the same way it targeted Hungary and Poland.

Diesel Crisis Worsens as Houthis Tighten Grip on al-Mandeb Strait

Sat, 12 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Diesel and gasoline prices are hitting historic highs as Donald Trump finally admits the United States is at war with Iran, a war he now says will not end until after the midterms. In this episode we break down how a spiraling energy crisis, a resurgent Houthi offensive against Saudi Arabia, and Scott Bessent's plan to use the energy shock against China could collide into a genuine economic storm for the West.

Putin's Advice to Trump; Ratcliffe's Ukraine Power Grab

Thu, 10 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Ukraine's military and financial collapse is accelerating as Russian forces bomb Black Sea ports and logistics hubs while Kiev runs low on fuel and cash. In this episode we break down Putin's blunt advice to Trump to simply stop helping Ukraine, the CIA's Ratcliffe pushing to replace Witkoff and Kushner as chief negotiator, and the New York Times and Spectator reports admitting Ukraine is losing the war. With Zelensky flying to the UN chasing more money instead of missiles, how much longer can this go on?

The Duran: Episode 2620
00:00:00 Intro: the military picture
00:00:50 Ukraine's military situation is deteriorating fast
00:01:10 Russia bombs Ukraine's Black Sea ports
00:02:23 Round the clock strikes resume on Kiev with no air defense
00:04:01 Ukrainian troops reportedly pull back near Kramatorsk and Kharkiv
00:05:44 Is the reported Lyman counteroffensive real or a media construct
00:06:33 Ukraine's economy and tax revenue are collapsing
00:07:30 New York Times asks where Ukraine's 27 billion dollars went
00:09:16 The pattern behind Ukraine's PR offensives
00:13:17 Zelensky asks for 27 billion in weapons and 36 billion for government
00:14:18 The Spectator says plainly that Ukraine is losing the war
00:19:15 Ratcliffe's threats and Witkoff and Kushner's bribes both fail
00:23:53 Ratcliffe's push to become chief negotiator and escalate
00:27:03 Putin tells Trump to simply stop helping Ukraine
00:29:33 Zelensky heads to the UN chasing money

Tue, 08 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT

In this episode we break down the chaotic Witkoff and Kushner diplomatic trip to Moscow and Kyiv, where Vladimir Putin firmly rejected a Trump Zelensky trilateral meeting.

Geopolitical Lies Fuel Financial Bubble w/ Jeffrey Sachs

Tue, 01 Sep 2026 20:01:43 GMT

Follow Jeffrey Sachs: https://www.jeffsachs.org/
The Center for Sustainable Development: https://csd.columbia.edu/

Jeffrey Sachs joins Alexander and Alex to explain why the collapse of American and European hegemony is not a crisis for the world, but only for the political class clinging to it. Sachs breaks down the delusional thinking behind Scott Bessent's economic D Day, draws a chilling parallel to the events of 1914, and reveals why Iran, China and Russia are far stronger and more rational than Western leaders admit. Is the American empire finally facing the reckoning it cannot escape?

00:00:00 Intro: Jeffrey Sachs joins The Duran
00:00:59 Alexander's overview of crises in Ukraine, Iran, China and the economy
00:02:01 Sachs frames it as a crisis of Western hegemony, not the world
00:04:27 Why Europe's behavior is even stranger than America's
00:06:18 Multipolarity is good for living standards, not a disaster
00:08:34 Grandiosity, denial and the collapse of truthful government narratives
00:10:30 How the geopolitical bubble is fueling a financial bubble
00:12:22 The public already senses something is deeply wrong
00:14:46 Reading Foreign Affairs: the establishment's five scenarios for world order
00:20:28 Scott Bessent's economic D Day and the backlash it triggered
00:23:05 Alexander on Britain's decline and the origins of World War One
00:27:48 Parallels and differences between 1914 and today
00:32:54 Why China is not the new Kaiser Wilhelm
00:36:22 Inside the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and BRICS
00:41:43 The truth about Iran's civilization, resilience and economy
00:44:18 How the US weaponized the dollar, and why it is failing
00:48:01 Can the West face reality before the reckoning arrives
00:52:09 Why ordinary people, not elites, may be the last hope

Russian Strikes Are Breaking The Zelensky Regime

Mon, 31 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT
