Jay in Kyiv
As Ukraine dismantles Russia’s economy through precision strikes on oil assets and the energy grid, the Kremlin turns abroad — flooding weapons into Venezuela in a desperate attempt to keep Nicolás Maduro in power. Inside Russia, the picture is bleak: the domestic economy is collapsing, factories are silent, and the country’s largest automaker admits it won’t be profitable until at least 2028.
Meanwhile, Putin’s puppet regime in Belarus issues new threats, vowing to launch Oreshnik missiles against “civilized nations” in a last-ditch bid to hold power. And Russian oil exports? They’re in freefall.
This episode examines Moscow’s unraveling influence — from Latin America to Eastern Europe — and how Ukraine’s targeted strikes are accelerating Russia’s economic collapse.

I don’t know about any of you, what you think when mafia land or its fat, mustachioed dipshit gofer spill out another nuclear threat, but I hardly take note of it anymore. I’m not kidding or being sarcastic. This is an absolute nothingburger news to me.
Once the potato farmer loses his protector, he will be on the first plane out of Belarus, headed to any shithole that will have him.
Belarus should have sided with Ukraine, not Putin. The consequences of this betrayal could be bitter.
