Three Wars: Russia, Iran and Mali Are Reshaping the World w/ Stanislav Krapivnik (The Duran)

Russia doesn't wage war the way the West does and that difference may be deciding the outcome in Ukraine, the Middle East, and now Africa. In this deep-dive episode, Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris are joined by military analyst Stanislav Krapyvnik, fresh from a visit to the Donbas front, for a sweeping breakdown of three simultaneous conflicts and the radically different military doctrines driving them. From Russia's systematic, science-based approach to warfare versus America's personality-driven "art of war," to the reorganization of Russian drone battalions, the gamification of Ukrainian drone kills, and the depletion of US Patriot missile stockpiles in the Iran campaign every thread points to a single uncomfortable conclusion. With Kupyansk fallen, Konstantinovka more than half-captured, and Russian forces just 10 kilometers from Sumy, the question isn't whether the front is moving it's how fast, and what comes after. Watch The Duran's full analysis to understand what the mainstream media isn't telling you.
