RUSSIA - MASSIVE EXPLOSION: DRUZHBA PIPELINE

Russian Railways Collapsing

Russia is now facing a MAJOR infrastructure crisis.
Russian Railways (RZhD) – the backbone of the entire Russian economy and military logistics – is drowning in 4 trillion roubles of debt (around $51 billion).

The Kremlin is holding emergency talks on how to save the rail network as freight volumes fall, interest costs surge, and critical investment collapses.

In today’s video, I break down:

Why Russian Railways is in such deep trouble
How the company built up more than $50B in debt
Why freight volumes are collapsing across Russia
The impact on coal, metals, grain and oil exports
How sanctions and war pressures have crippled the network
The Kremlin’s rescue plan — debt conversion, tariff hikes, subsidies and NWF funds
Why Russia is considering turning debt into equity despite RZhD being state-owned

The long-term risks for Russia’s economy and war logistics

This is a huge story with major implications for Russia’s future economic stability, export capacity, and internal infrastructure.

NATO Left In The Cold As Trump Embraces Moscow​

The US appears to be increasingly stepping back from its leadership role in Europe, leaving European nations to face Russia largely on their own while Washington deepens its own contacts with Moscow. This geopolitical shift comes as pressure continues to mount across Russia’s collapsing economy and expanding war effort.

Another of Russia’s top bankers has now publicly called for a ruble devaluation, confirming what markets have been signaling for months: the financial system is under unsustainable strain. At the same time, Ukraine’s long-range drone campaign against Russian oil refineries continues to intensify, steadily degrading the infrastructure that fuels the Kremlin’s war machine.

Russia has also suffered fresh losses abroad, with reports that nearly $12 billion in oil and financial reserves tied to Iraq have effectively been written off. Inside Russia, scientists warn the country’s HIV crisis is worsening dramatically, estimating that nearly one in every 25 Russian men is now infected — a public health catastrophe unfolding amid state censorship and international isolation.

On the battlefield, Vladimir Putin has announced another expansion of the war while Ukrainian forces struck a major Chechen military base, further demonstrating Kyiv’s ability to reach deep into Russian and proxy territory. Meanwhile, the Kremlin tightens information control at home by blocking WhatsApp, accelerating the digital isolation of its own population.

This video connects the dots between Washington’s shifting posture toward Europe, Russia’s accelerating economic decay, Ukraine’s expanding strike campaign, and the Kremlin’s tightening grip as the consequences of the war continue to spiral beyond the battlefield.

RUSSIA Plunges Into DEVASTATING FUEL CRISIS. Kremlin is NON-RESPONSIVE

Russia is plunging into a full-blown fuel crisis that exposes the deepest vulnerabilities of Putin’s war machine and the collapsing myth of Kremlin control. Oil refineries across Russia are burning from Belgorod to Krasnodar, 30 to 40 percent of refining capacity is offline, gas stations are shutting down, and entire regions are rationing fuel like it’s the 1990s. Crimea now limits drivers to 20 liters, annexed territories face widespread closures, and independent stations have nothing left to sell. What the Kremlin calls “temporary limitations” is in reality a devastating nationwide shortage created by Ukrainian strikes on the core of Russia’s energy infrastructure. This isn’t a minor disruption or market fluctuation—this is the largest and most politically dangerous breakdown of Russia’s energy system in decades.

The crisis shatters the illusion of Putin’s invincibility. For years propaganda insisted Russia was winning, the economy was stable, and the war was under control. But refinery explosions, endless lines at gas stations, and rationing inside Russia show the opposite. The Kremlin can ignore battlefield losses, but it cannot hide economic collapse, panic among elites, growing shortages, and a leader who looks increasingly powerless. With Ukraine striking deep inside Russian territory, the myth of “red lines” has dissolved, the image of the strongman is cracking, and even Trump publicly calls Putin weak. What was once a psychological fortress has become an exposed, fragile system no longer protected by fear.

As the war comes home, ordinary Russians now face the direct consequences of a conflict the Kremlin promised would never affect them. Shortages, rationing, frantic policy reversals, and silence from state media reveal a government that has no plan. The economy is collapsing under labor shortages, budget deficits, a failing shadow fleet, and now crippling refinery damage. Every burning oil facility erodes the foundation of Putin’s rule, because authoritarian systems survive on money and myth—and Russia is rapidly losing both.

This fuel crisis marks a turning point. It exposes the Kremlin’s inability to defend critical infrastructure, protect its economy, or maintain its image of total control. It shows a nation once calling itself an energy superpower now scrambling to buy gasoline from Belarus at inflated prices. And most importantly, it reveals the beginning of the end of the Putin era, where elites question his competence, citizens question his promises, and the world sees a leader who can no longer manage the consequences of his own war. Russia isn’t just struggling with oil shortages—Russia is watching its entire system crack in real time, and the Kremlin has no response.

St. Petersburg Streets Brink of Chaos as Police Shortages Hit 200,000

Russia is experiencing the largest security collapse in its modern history. Moscow's streets are no longer patrolled by police, but by masked, military-clad, ultranationalist gangs from the "Russkaya Obshchina" (Russian Community).

This situation, following the mass ethnic unrest in the capital, is proof of the complete collapse of state authority. In this video, we examine the chaos created by Putin and the Kremlin's own confession:

OFFICIAL CIVIL WAR CONFESSION: In a leaked report, the Kremlin's top sociologist, Aleksandr Kharichev, cited the risk of "the collapse of the political system" and "a possible internal conflict (CIVIL WAR)" as the greatest threats. This is the final "SOS" call from the wheelhouse of a sinking ship.
66% HEADLESS POLICE STATIONS: Russia faces a massive 200,000-person police shortage. The vacancy rate in critical neighborhood police stations has reached 66%. This means the state has physically withdrawn from the streets, the law is gone.
ECONOMIC CANNIBALISM: Putin has allocated $166 billion to the war effort, leaving police salaries (40,000-70,000 rubles) far below those of the military and couriers. Police officers, feeling like "stepchildren" of the state, are resigning with the speed of "escaping a burning building."
NO-GO ZONES: The police vacuum is being filled by masked, club-wielding Vigilante groups on one side and self-defense units in uncontrolled migrant ghettos on the other. Moscow is teetering on the brink of ethnic and class-based civil conflict.
ELITE BETRAYAL: The Kharichev report revealed that the elite are focused solely on "sending their children abroad and smuggling their assets." This demonstrates the complete bankruptcy of Putin's promise of "stability" in a "Rats Abandon Ship" scenario.

Russia is fighting with much less than it has because it's building reserves and staying ready for a bigger fight with Europe, which may be less of a fight, but Putin won't forget the lessons of history.

I'd be rather doubtful of that. It's all noise from the Russians - they are having manpower problems in Ukraine and everywhere else these days.

Russia Loses 4th Oil Tanker to Ukrainian Attack

Ukraine has now successfully struck a fourth Russian shadow fleet tanker. More than 1,000 shadow fleet tankers are sailing around the world serving Russia and Ukraine has put them all on notice than any could be targeted next. Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have flown to Moscow to meet with Putin and discuss how many billions of dollars in Russian money they can expect for the Trump family to sell out Ukraine and Europe.

"NO WAY WE WIN THIS": Z-Soldier's Accidental CONFESSION

A shocking new confession from Dmitry Rogozin — the self-proclaimed “senator of Zaporizhzhia” — exposes the deepest cracks inside Putin’s war machine. In a bizarre hour-long frontline monologue, Rogozin reveals far more than Kremlin propaganda ever intended: catastrophic Russian losses, collapsing soldier morale, Ukraine’s overwhelming drone warfare advantage, and the growing panic among Russia’s most loyal insiders. His racist pseudoscience, historical distortions, and rambling “theories” accidentally confirm what analysts have been warning for months — that Russia’s invasion is falling apart on every level.

Rogozin admits Ukraine’s drone forces, especially units led by Robert Brovdi (Madyar), are eliminating thousands of Russians weekly. He describes soldiers terrified of the buzzing overhead, entire regiments wiped out, and families back home searching drone footage to identify their missing men. His comments about Stepnohirsk expose a forgotten battlefield where Russia has suffered staggering losses storming a town smaller than a university campus. These confessions show a regime wasting human lives for territory it cannot hold — all while ignoring the truth that none of these deaths would exist if the invasion never began.

Rogozin’s worldview collapses further when he blames “genetic impurity” and “racial categories” instead of Putin’s decisions. His contradictions highlight the desperation inside the Kremlin: they cannot stop the war without admitting defeat, and they cannot win without sacrificing endless waves of soldiers. This is why Putin rejects every ceasefire proposal, even those offering to keep occupied territories. Ending the war would expose the failure of Russia’s military, the false promises of a quick victory, and the reality that the Kremlin is running out of manpower, equipment, and excuses.

This video breaks down Rogozin’s explosive interview, the fear behind his bravado, the drone warfare reshaping the conflict, the hidden mass casualties in Stepnohirsk, and what his words reveal about Putin’s endless war strategy. A rare moment of candor from inside Russia’s propaganda bubble — and a devastating confirmation that the Kremlin is terrified of the truth reaching its own people.

Exclusive Drone Footage Shows Devastated Ukrainian Town Almost Encircled by Russian Forces​

Wednesday, 03 December 2025 01:00 PM EST


KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Exclusive drone footage obtained by The Associated Press on Wednesday shows a devastated Ukrainian town nearly encircled by Russian forces near the city that Moscow this week claimed to now control.

Barely a street appears to be untouched in Myrnohrad in Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region, 12 kilometers (7 miles) from the key logistics hub of Pokrovsk. Some destruction is so fresh that smoke was still rising in the footage shot in the past few days.

“They are trying to simply erase the (town) from the face of the earth,” said Oleksii Hodzenko, press officer of the drone battalion of the 38th Marine Brigade, whose soldiers were still fighting inside Myrnohrad on Wednesday.

The town is almost encircled by Russian forces, according to DeepState, an open-source Ukrainian map widely used by the military and analysts.

Also Russiaguide (note the date):

The Fall of Pokrovsk is explained in poetic detail by Professor John Mearsheimer "where the logic of power finally overwhelms the illusions of ideology." He explains exactly why there was never any hope for Ukraine and why the future of the war in Ukraine looks grim for Ukraine.

It is now a MONTH later and Pokrovsk has STILL not fallen (and Pokrovsk has become even MOAR of an attrition trap for Putin / Russia (See also: Kupiansk, which Russia also claimed had fallen).



While Myrnohrad & Pokrovsk may eventually come under complete Russian control, it will be at the cost of MOAR Russian blood and treasure.


And in the meantime, Ukraine will continue to blow up Russian oil infrastructure and military production targets:

I think we can now take it for granted that Trump's meain reason to force Ukraine intom a surrender is that he thinks he and a lot of other American oligarchs can make lots of money.

He doesn't care one but for the Ukrainian people who are suffering or will suffer, and in fact he seems to publicly enjoy their suffering.

Ukraine has significantly increased its drone production estimates, projecting the capability to manufacture up to 20 million drones by 2026, contingent on receiving necessary international funding. This marks a substantial rise from the earlier estimate of producing 1 million drones in 2024.

FURIOUS Zelenskyy BLASTS Trump after RUSSIAN ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT in Ireland

MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas reports Ukraine President Zelenskyy avoiding an assassination attempt in Ireland by Putin before he spoke to the Ireland Parliament and Meiselas discusses how Zelenskyy is fighting back against the Trump and Putin alliance and taking a very different tone now with Trump and the rest of the Trump regime after their ultimate betrayal.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s visit to Ireland took an unexpected turn when four unidentified military-grade drones breached Dublin Airport’s no-fly zone moments after his plane landed. Their flight path, timing, and approach from the sea raise serious questions about intent—and who was behind them. Were they meant as a warning, a test, or something more? In this video, we break down the incident, Ireland’s response, and what it could mean next…

Ireland made a mistake by not taking the drones out immediately. It already looked bad that the drones were able to just swoop in like that and then even hover over a military ship operating in secret. It looks even worse that Ireland did nothing after discovering this massive security breach.

Did Russia Attack Their Own Ship in the Black Sea?

Ukraine is denying they struck a Russian tanker in the Black Sea that was transporting sunflower oil. Ukraine is speculating that Russia attacked their own agricultural ship to justify attacking the agricultural ships of other countries going to and from Ukraine. Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner's talks in Moscow went nowhere, as Putin rejected any deal and made it clear he has no interest in stopping his wars.

Ukraine strikes CHECHEN SECURITY COUNCIL building: KADYROV IN SHOCK

Near Kadyrov’s residence in Grozny, Chechnya, explosions were heard. A drone struck his “pride” Grozny-City, that hosts offices of Chechen Defence Council. The report about the attack came from NYISO, an opposition Telegram channel to the authorities in Chechnya. The building is located approximately 830 meters from Ramzan Kadyrov’s official residence, and in addition, the FSB building of Chechnya is located nearby.
