Topic 2090
Alex Christoforou breaks down a chaotic 24 hours where Macron declared Russia is losing at the G7 while a record wave of drones slammed into a Moscow oil refinery. The Duran digs into why the new licensing deal letting Ukraine produce American interceptors and long range missiles looks less like real manufacturing and more like a cover story for direct NATO strikes into Russia, alongside Starmer's defense budget reshuffle and a new EU back channel to the Kremlin. If long range missiles really do start hitting Russia, has the collective west just crossed Putin's clearest red line?
