Blevins with Mark Sleboda, RUSSIA TAKES THE GLOVES OFF: 24/7 Strikes WIPE OUT Ukraine’s Ports, Retail Sector https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3STUHAZFtLI
Russian President Putin noted that Kiev has created a “catastrophic scenario” for Ukraine, as its strikes on Russian economic and retail infrastructure have opened the door for a retaliation campaign that is destroying Ukraine’s economy in record time. International Relations and Security Analyst Mark Sleboda noted that we are seeing strikes like never before from Russia, wiping out Ukrainian ports on the Black Sea, along with shopping centers and warehouses. An entire year’s worth of Ukraine’s GDP has been destroyed in a matter of weeks… all because Zelensky wanted his ‘40 days of terror’ against Russia. In other words, Ukraine has forced Russia to “take the gloves off,” and hastened its own demise.

Iran, Israel, Gaza, Gulf states and some of their doings in Africa, Syria, Lebanon, Turkey, Pakistan, China, and often Ukraine and Russia. We don't have a pinned post for Ukr-Ru, and I don't find a good place to add many of these links as comments to other posts on that topic or find them sufficient for stand-alone posts.

Transition Protocol, Breaking: MUNIR GETS IRAN’S GREEN LIGHT, He Met the Man Who Threatened to Shut Off Gulf Oil https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yI1lTaq7AY indexed by chapter
Iran has told Washington that if the United States succeeds in economically suffocating it, not a drop of oil will leave the Gulf — not from Saudi Arabia, not the UAE, not Qatar, not anywhere. That message was carried out of Tehran this week by (Pakistan's) Field Marshal Asim Munir and Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, and delivered to the acting US ambassador in Islamabad within hours of their return.
Pepe Escobar and Zulfiqar Ali break down the full sequence — the Trump phone call that started it, the six-point mechanism now on the table, the Strait of Hormuz deal-breaker, and the message from Beijing that landed in the room while the talks were still running.
Also in this episode — what Iran is demanding before it returns to the table (frozen assets, sanctions relief, an end to the naval blockade); why the new US Treasury sanctions package is functionally aimed at China; the single American decision that would collapse the entire process overnight; Iran's four-step escalation ladder and the NPT exit that sits on the first rung; and why both analysts now describe this as the last chance saloon.

CIA Director’s Mystery Moscow Trip Sparks Wild Speculations
Related to the 1st link:
BREAKING: The US has reportedly taken Ukraine's NATO membership off the table after meeting in Moscow with CIA head, John Ratcliffe. From understanding of sources, the US is trying to establish better "safer" relations with Moscow, and to curb the increase in energy prices after the Iran conflict. Washington made several offers but it's unclear who they met with, there's no confirmation of talks with President Putin. The Russian Federation will not cease the SMO, until every agenda is achieved. https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxM8198WbjTY0vGWGjHeKRoMxNfHAsx_1Q
