Putin's Elite Forces Surrounded -- Ukraine's Deadly Trap Revealed - Jason Jay Smart [View all]

Vladimir Putin’s Kremlin is waking up to more bad news: Russia’s Elite naval marines – trained in advanced amphibious landings - are now stranded in the forests of Ukraine’s Sumy, over 1100 kilometers/700 miles from the nearest coastline and they are surrounded by Ukrainian troops - signaling another dramatic failure of Kremlin strategy.

Globally, things are not looking any better: India’s top oil refiners have halted Russian crude imports, slashing a vital revenue stream for Moscow just as economic pressures mount.

How about in Russia’s Far East? A catastrophic 8.8 magnitude earthquake and tsunami have crippled Russia’s only Pacific nuclear submarine base at Vilyuchinsk, threatening the backbone of its strategic deterrent.

Meanwhile, in the rest of Russia? July alone saw over 2,000 internet shutdowns across Russia as the regime cracks down on the free flow of information and the actual digital infrastructure of Russia cracks.

Even worse for Moscow but good for Kyiv? Putin’s frozen billions are now being converted into ammunition for Ukraine. If Pres. Donald Trump supports the initiative, Trump will have served a significant blow to Putin.
