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. If after four years Russia hasn't collapsed, why would it collapse now? 00:00:00 Introduction: Front Lines, Armenia & CNN Intelligence Report 00:00:49 Russian Offensive Pattern: How the War Moves Each Year 00:01:57 Russian Breakthrough Tactics & Fortified Ukrainian Lines 00:03:05 Battle of Constantinovka: The Donbass Cauldron Forms 00:04:49 Sumi & Kharkov: Russia's Northern Push Explained 00:08:10 Is Russia Preparing a Future Attack on Kiev? 00:09:19 Armenia: Europe's New Strategic Bet Against Russia 00:11:18 Putin to Pashinyan: Choose One Side or the Other 00:13:14 Armenia Risk: Strategic Asset or Western Liability? 00:14:16 May 9th Victory Day Parade: Drone Threat or Non-Issue? 00:15:29 CNN Report: European Intel on Putin Coup & Assassination Fears 00:17:21 Shoygu Coup Theory: Why It's Pure Fantasy 00:20:09 Valdai Attack: The Trump-Putin Inflection Point 00:22:40 Trump's Role in Valdai & the Breakdown of Russia-US Trust 00:26:28 Europe's Sole Strategy Revealed: Wait for Russia's Internal Collapse ***THE DURAN SHOP*** https://theduranshop.com ***REVERSE GEAR SHOP*** Athleisure with Style https://reversegear.shop/ ***THE DURAN COMMUNITY ON LOCALS*** https://theduran.locals.com Join Now Get 1 Month Free Trial ***OUR OFFICIAL CHANNELS*** ALEXANDER: https://www.youtube.com/AlexanderMercourisReal ALEX: https://www.youtube.com/alexchristoforou ***CRYPTO SUPPORT*** BITCOIN: 3JvdnoyWMb93hSRgk58ZstUxg11PW9mKSr ETHEREUM: 0xF39BdFb41f639B82E3D2Bf022828bC6394F533A3 LTC: MGFiMC18ZViF6DcCixMqAAP11TG4tF6Acj EMC2: EXX4KK9pZLx7uiLWnCXtp7iMKjtq6o5b6R ***DONATE*** CREDIT CARD: https://donorbox.org/the-duran SUBSCRIBE STAR: https://subscribestar.com/theduran PATREON: https://patreon.com/theduran ***VIDEO*** RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/c/theduran ODYSEE: https://odysee.com/@theduran BITCHUTE: https://www.bitchute.com/theduran/ ***AUDIO*** SPOTIFY: https://spoti.fi/3pMrfPD APPLE PODCASTS: https://apple.co/2H9Hk0a SOUNDCLOUD: https://bit.ly/354ASQ9 ***FREE SPEECH*** TELEGRAM: https://t.me/thedurancom X (Twitter): https://x.com/TheDuranReal?s=20 GAB: https://gab.ai/TheDuran MINDS: https://minds.com/theduran Amazing music contribution from Peter Brown.
