The Duran: Episode 2543
Alexander Mercouris reports live from Russia with a damning verdict: after 21 EU sanctions packages, the Russian economy is growing, shops are fully stocked, and the collective West's economic strategy has delivered nothing. Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris break down the China drone pipeline supplying Ukraine, the mysterious disappearance of Russian central bank chief Nabiullina, Europe's rearmament agenda, and the FSB's failure to protect Russian military officers from a fresh wave of assassinations. Is the EU's sanctions campaign less about crippling Russia and more about consolidating power in Brussels, and what does Mercouris's firsthand account reveal that Western media refuses to report?

00:00:28 Mercouris reports from Moscow and Pskov: sanctions have completely failed
00:00:55 High interest rates and Russian central bank

00:05:26 Sanctions as EU power consolidation: Christoforou and Mercouris discuss
00:07:18 European rearmament plans: Germany financialization theory
00:10:05 The China drone pipeline: FPV components routed through Malaysia to Ukraine
00:11:33 Putin and Xi: Russia raises China drone issue at highest level
00:15:38 Russia oil and gas sales remain at record highs despite four years of SMO

The Duran: Episode 2542
The Iran ceasefire has collapsed, a US Apache helicopter has been shot down over the Strait of Hormuz, and both sides are escalating toward a full resumption of conflict with no viable offramp in sight. Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris break down how Trump's strategy of stringing along negotiations while buying time for Israel in Lebanon has now unraveled, why the Strait of Hormuz closure will send oil prices sharply higher, and how the economic pain of this confrontation will ultimately determine which side blinks. Is the autumn oil price shock the moment that finally forces Trump to make the concessions he has refused to consider?

00:00 Introduction: ceasefire collapse and Apache helicopter incident
00:28 US strikes Iran, Iran retaliates against Gulf allies
01:00 The waiting game: why both sides delayed real negotiations
02:04 What was the Apache doing over the Strait of Hormuz?
03:26 Trump forced to respond: the logic of escalation
04:46 Strait of Hormuz shut: oil prices begin to climb
06:07 Why neither side can back down politically
07:44 Trump's real strategy: buying time for Israel in Lebanon
10:16 Mercouris: Trump has botched the negotiations
11:45 US grand strategy: China blockade and regime change in Iran
15:41 Why the ceasefire was always fragile
17:12 Which side feels the economic pain first?
19:54 Expert forecast: oil price surge expected by autumn
23:38 Prediction: oil price pops suddenly, not gradually

The Duran: Episode 2541
Germany has failed to secure a rotating UN Security Council seat for the first time in memory, losing to Austria and Portugal in a vote presided over by Annalena Baerbock herself, the former foreign minister widely blamed for accelerating Germany's diplomatic collapse through deindustrialization, the Nordstream silence, and an ideologically driven foreign policy that has made Berlin one of the least popular capitals in the Global South. Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris on The Duran argue the defeat is entirely self-inflicted, a reflection of a country that chose vassalage over sovereignty, and that Germany's humiliation at the UN is inseparable from the broader implosion of the European Union's ambitions as a global power. If Germany, once the engine of European diplomacy and the continent's most respected voice, can no longer win a basic UN vote, what does that tell us about where Europe is really headed?

The Duran: Episode 2541
Armenia's Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan is steering his country toward the European Union and NATO in what Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris on The Duran call a near carbon copy of the Maidan playbook that devastated Ukraine, with Russia now cutting Armenian agricultural imports and energy pressure looming over an economy that depends on Moscow for over 80% of its power. While Pashinyan promises his people the best of both worlds and a future referendum on alignment, Mercouris argues Armenia is already retreating on every front, having lost Nagorno Karabakh, alienated its primary security guarantor, and left itself encircled by a hostile Azerbaijan and Turkey with no credible Western replacement in sight. Can the EU and US actually prop up a small landlocked country surrounded by rivals, or is Armenia walking blindly into the same trap that brought Ukraine to the brink?

The Duran: Episode 2540
Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris break down Putin's St Petersburg press conference and reveal what Western coverage is missing: a deepening split inside the Russian Security Council, with Putin standing virtually alone in keeping the door open to the Anchorage agreement while Lavrov, Medvedev, and the rest push for a harder line. The Duran examines Zelensky's open letter as a coordinated Western operation timed to the forum, the reality behind the House Ukraine aid bills, the fading influence of Russia's business oligarchs, and why the Oreshnik is being quietly perfected for strikes on Kiev command centers. Is Putin running out of time to close a deal with Trump before the window shuts and a new Democratic administration resets everything?
