Putin Warns Russia And Europe At War If Europe Troops Enter Ukraine; Big Houthi Victory; BRICS Meets (Alexander Mercouris)

Putin has just delivered his bluntest warning yet, telling Europe that sending troops into Ukraine means direct conflict with Russia, a message he chose to deliver from the BRICS summit stage in New Delhi alongside Modi and Xi Jinping. Alexander breaks down why Putin timed this warning now, how a stunning Houthi battlefield surge in Yemen has forced Saudi Arabia to shut down a critical oil pipeline, and why Donald Trump has twice turned away a desperate Mohammed bin Salman. With Europe's rhetoric growing more reckless by the day, how much longer before this warning is tested?
