Russia Military warning freaks out Globalist Elite & Zelensky. UAE oil pipeline escape route smashed
Topic 2046
Russia's military has issued what may be its most consequential statement since the start of the special military operation a direct threat to launch a massive missile strike on the center of Kiev if Ukraine attempts drone attacks on Moscow's Victory Day parade on May 9th. In this update, Alex Christoforou of The Duran breaks down how Zelensky's theatrical threat in Yerevan spectacularly backfired, forcing Kiev into a face-saving ceasefire maneuver that fools nobody. Meanwhile, the Fujairah petroleum terminal the UAE's only pipeline bypassing the Strait of Hormuz was struck in a major attack, raising urgent questions about whether this was an Iranian operation or a false flag designed to drag the US back into open conflict. From the EU's energy self-sabotage and the collapse of Starmer's political authority ahead of UK elections, to Rubio's Vatican trip and the darkly comic scenes from the European Political Community summit in Yerevan, today's video maps a Western establishment that is visibly losing control of the narrative. Is the collective West finally running out of moves and does Zelensky know it?
