Summary
Europe reveals ONLY strategy to DEFEAT Russia The Duran: Episode 2512 Europe has finally admitted what Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris on The Duran have argued since 2022 that their only remaining strategy to defeat Russia is to engineer an internal collapse, a stunning revelation buried at the bottom of a CNN report citing European intelligence. In this episode, Alexander Mercouris breaks down the accelerating battle for Constantinovka, where Russian forces are closing a cauldron around Ukrainian defenders in what may become the most significant Ukrainian city to fall since Severodonetsk in 2022 a story the Western media has almost entirely ignored until now. The discussion also covers the Armenia summit, where European leaders and NATO allies are racing to pull Yerevan out of Russia's orbit ahead of June elections, despite Putin drawing a clear red line with Pashinyan in Moscow. And then there's the CNN piece: European intelligence leaking claims of coup fears around Putin, Shoygu as a potential challenger, and the Valdai attack as a defining inflection point in Moscow's view of Donald Trump, all of it unverified even by CNN itself, and all of it pointing to a West that has run out of real options.
