Thank you for your daily work, Alexander. Your audience appreciates.
@@DTJKS The audience of russian trolls & fanboys. Hallelujah!
@bekeneel You Ukrop trolls and Bandera fanboys are still always here funny that.
@@bekeneel and 1 boring clown with fake news - @bekeneel
@@bekeneel where are your wing nafo cheerleaders? More and more nafo abandoned accounts😂
NATO should be ashamed of what they have done in Ukraine, Serbia and Libya.
Really ashamed
They are.murderers.
Clearly, they have no shame.
I do not support any war or any warmongers, but are Serbian politicians ashamed what they did to Sarajevo or Srebrenica.
they are a tool of a faction in the Illuminati, Trump, Putin are in a separate faction, its basically a civil war.
It truly is a struggle between good and evil. Spasibo, Russia!
There's a Chinese saying, 'In 3 days fish and visitors start to stink'. Blinken and Yellen have confirmed this...
💯✅️💯✅️
In Germany there is the same saying…😅
In Serbia we say: "Svakog gosta tri dana dosta", which means every guest three days enough.
Both have embarrassed the solid work of their predecessors ... Thx God, I eliminated the University where Yellenakis was teaching ... My goodness, what an academic failure 😢 and a monetary earthquake that her succession will need 100 years to fix.
China will look after China - If Russia wants their aid it will cost them Manchuria
Thank God for Russia 🇷🇺 ❤God bless president Putin and the brave people fighting for all of us❤.
Another vatnik who thinks "God" is on Russia's "side".
The biggest mistake zelensky and Ukraine 🇺🇦 did was to think Russia 🇷🇺 was libya 🇱🇾
Agree - also, both Kiev and several other eastern European gov'ts (who have been NATO members for more than twenty years) seem to think that Article 5 with the NATO charter make them co-owners of the entirety of NATO's armament stockpiles. This is clearly a misguided idea. but Washington of course find it hard to tell them openly that this is not quite how it works...
zelensky makes me laugh. he wears mens' high healed shoes. cause he is soo short, dies his hair, and loves his silk underwear.
I think the biggest mistake continues to be the refusals to make peace and accept the new borders.
True
Wahre Worte, Russland ist Weltmacht und wird dem Westen eine Lektion erteilen.
Sometimes soldiers who surrender do not want to be exchanged or even named to protect their relatives and friends.
True. And Ukraine politicians will continue to collect the soldiers pay instead of sending it to the families.
Unfortunately for them, Kiev knows who they are. The children, distant aunts, etc, etc
We have ukrain soldiers here in England safe Their families still receive money naturally they don’t want to be discovered ?
@@terryl858 there is a lot of them, every where I go all I hear is Ukrainian being spoken, not unlike 20 years ago when there was that massive influx of poles, I mean their voices in places outnumber all others it weird as.
They need to issue a rrest warrant for the Americans and their poodles for complicity in genocide. They won't; that court is a joke!
Americans never amits that it is looseing the war in Ukraine Long life to Mr Putin and the Russian people
Congratulations on hitting 260.000 subscribers, Alexander! :D
The Chinese has extended the maximum they can in terms of courtesy towards Blinken, given the extreme hostile attitude of the Americans.
I enjoy how Mr Mercouris narrates the information he provides us. Nice to get an accurate update and not the garbage corporate Fake News Media spews nonstop.
Mr Mercouris quotes a lot of pro-Russian garbage from various sources: DPR leadership , RU MoD, high RU officials and spokespeople that often turns out to be total dis-information and propaganda trash with a couple or three days....
The U.S. with its Afghan proxy force were at their strongest until the next day when the U.S. bolted like burglars. They left a victorious Taliban with $86.000.000.000 in arms and Afghanis lying dead, having fallen from C17 transport planes. A 20-year house takeover gone bad. So so many people were massacred in those two decades. Democracy in action. Ukraine take note. Thanks Alexander.
The United States airlifted over 120,000 Taliban into the country afterwards. So now the Taliban can take direct action against the US for what they did in Afghanistan.
Yes agree and what makes me sick is that according to Assange, the US were in Afghanistan only for money laundering and the heroine control
71.000 civilians were bombed, murdered, by NATO’s “coalition of the killing” in Afghanistan, 30.000 women and children. A strange way of “saving the women”. The ultimate excuse for overstaying by 19 and half years.
It’s sad that the people on Facebook will not see your comments American s think Afghanistan is old news great comparison?
Sadly the ANZUS collaborators incl. secret services were operating as death squads and whistleblowers were treated as criminals instead of the commanders.
Brian Beletic's The New Atlas is a great source. Thanks for mentioning it.

Thank u alex without your news we would never know what really going on
ICC? Don’t underestimate West’s leaders’ capacity for double standards and hypocrisy. But don’t underestimate consequences of such blindness.
An arrest warrant issued by them is recognised worldwide, Netanyhu and co will have to worry whenever they travel outside Israel, anywhere. Govts change,,,
@@HerrDirleWanger1 I get the impression ICC on its own is not enough. It tends to be ignored. USA doesn’t really recognise it so there is no pressure on others to do so … unless … unless for some reason it fits USA purposes and ‘interests’ to back it up on something - as with President Putin.
@@stephendgreen1502 I appreciate that, but the various characters around Netanyhu might need to plan there trips carefully. They can surround themselves with Mossad as they please, but they don’t frighten people. The other thing is if Britain/America tries to ignore one charge how can they expect the world to take the one against, for example, Putin seriously? The world doesn’t revolve around Britain.
@@HerrDirleWanger1 if people let hypocrites lead them, they only have themselves to blame if they are blindly led by the blind into a catastrophe.
@@stephendgreen1502 Cuz US didn't sign it, many other countries did. Then you are obliged to act, that's why South Africa for example told putin not to come, as they'd have to arrest him.
The Kerch Bridge design in detail appeared briefly online many months ago - it was clear then 450kg warheads either ATACMS or Storm Shadow were not going to bring down the bridges - it would take something considerably bigger - people who destroy the Nord Stream Pipeline would have worked on a solution and had time to develop it by now - this is a bonkers war where beautiful things are destroyed
Even poor old me is learning about the real art of war Tkank you Mr Putin
Blinken is embarrassing himself and all Americans as the obnoxious guest who was only reluctantly invited and now won't leave.
That's because Yellen turned him onto magic mushroom soup!
someone called him and said ..when you get back ,you're fired!! so he isnt going home..
Blinken's family originally came from Kiev. Furthermore, his father in law is Samuel Pisar, who was Ghislane Maxwell's father's lawyer. Small world.
@@carbonjohnson6414 Ghislaine was a Mossad asset.
Why is this man so yellow!
[Congratulations, Athletes of the Russian Federation, no one, repeat, no one, can ever shut you up!] While Chumgalakova was receiving her award, the recording of the Russian national anthem abruptly stopped. According to footage posted online, the crowd picked up the verses, completing the anthem. - RT
💯 Long live Russian Federation. Long live President Putin ❤
In Serbia... yeah a place known for loving Russia.
@@Jamicaman516 and!
I will have a guess that those missiles will be fired by the YANKS or the BRITISH.
Russia has reported that 6,500 mercs have been deleted since the start of the SMO. So the ones who fire those missiles have a date with destiny!
Somewhere an English Woman Shits.
I think a Ukr soldier will push the launch button. Who does what before that final step is the question.
"Gee, instead of using these missiles to keep our soldiers alive, why don't we use them to get headlines?"
Thank you for your great analysis, Alexander ❤
Alexander, I could listen to you all day. I never miss you, Alex or the Duran.
If it was me, I would arrest Blinken as a war criminal and send him in handcuffs to the Hague.
Not doable. Diplomatic status. Only Israel and NATO tend to "forget" that diplomatic personnel and locations are taboo!
As gracious as the Chinese are I very much doubt any American will be welcomed in China for the foreseeable future
It's facinating how people start to realise the american eagle is made of paper.
Origami Eagle!
I am here too, Alexander is the best.
I watched Brians programe woow what graphic details I have heard many others but his explaination was a degree highter in details , quite impressive , I also urge other to view him an talented individual the originator in alot of ways *the new atlas*
History legends is a good channel as well. He explains with his colorful map what's going on.
@@doroparker1702 yes agree also thanks for the advice much appreciated
he is just a russian propagandist it was funny to hear him explain the loss of territory in 2023. He has never been to either Russia or Ukraine I heard him express surprise that anyone associated the Soviet Empire with Russia in Eastern Europe thinking that somehow that didn't matter. |He has no idea how much Russia is hated by its former Empire
Blinken's next trip will be a backpacker tour.
Handcuffed and drug to the Hague.
Every day I look forward to your updates Alexander. Thank you for your amazing work
I note that this broadcast is watched by Russia. Alexander has been quoted authoritatively by Ria Novosti. The quote was not "adjusted" and was, as I recall, exactly what he said in his own broadcast.
Today the Leopard 2 tank finally drove through the streets of Moscow, but not as NATO planned... The tank was delivered to the museum. It’s a shame that Russian engineers were not interested in the Leopard; it was only suitable for an exhibition
Prolly they can use the leopard as a door stopper
t-62 are way better
@@User-nw37how about any Abrams to display?
@@user-zj7cv6mp8t Russia showed the towed Abrams, but it has not yet been delivered to Moscow. Abrams was very damaged, most likely it will take time to restore it to the state of a museum exhibit
@@user-zj7cv6mp8t I believe there is indeed an Abrams on its way.
Why should the Russians destroy the Dnjepr bridges if these enable the Ukrainians to move troops to the "meat grinders"? Demilitarisation is much easier this way, especially as the Russians are logistically set up much better in the east than they'd be operating on the western side of the Dnjepr ...
Superb analysis Alexander, you are a riveting host and we are enthralled by your most thorough reportage! We learn so much each and every day. A metaphorical gold Hero's star to You, Sir.. Today in The Washington Pest, an article declaring that they don't believe Zel's figure of only 31,000 Ukrainian soldiers dead! If 31,000 dead were indeed the case, Zel wouldn't have had to forcibly draft young men, women, middle-aged and old men; not to mention instigating the draconian withdrawal of consular services for Ukrainian refugees, denying them visas, updates, documents, etc., unless they return home to the awaiting slaughter on the front lines. Oh the Humanity!!! The Horror, the horror...
a "thrall" is a slave; we are not "enthralled" by this guy nor are we amused by your comment
In the British media, claim the AFU need a holiday after being on active duty for 2 years. So they need ‘holiday cover’, I’m paraphrasing of course but not making that entirely up.
@@filmbuffo5616Who is, “We?” You seem to be in the extreme minority here.
Excellent analysis as always Alexander!
🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺💪💪💪ZOV❤️❤️❤️👑👑👑🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
Things are going HORRIBLE for Ukraine, and that's under stating it.
It's better that it gets over quickly for all parties involved. Let there be a settlement, diplomatic measures. Right now however, the Kiev regime is in no position to be trusted.
Hi Alexander, thanks for all the informative work you are doing. Could you maybe invite someone on the Duran to talk about all the contributions that the Federation of Russia made to Ukrainian economic transition and development during the 2000-2021 period, which V. Putin was outlining in his Feb. 2022 speech, but have been, I think, a little forgotten by now ?
It appears that campus arrests in the US have broken 1,000. Just looking at a few reported incidents. It is at least 1K.
❤😊THANK YOU SIR
Russia is standing up to America.
Russia is standing up to the entire collective west and winning big!
@@josephvanwie6706 😂😂 You kids have no clue about the giant losses russia takes, for temporary advancing a few km..
@@bekeneel If you believe that, you're in for a very rude awakening. The Russian economy is growing, has overtaken Germany's, while the situation in the UK and France is so dire, that the IMF brought out a report yesterday showing that France will drop out of the Top 10 economies in the world in the next five years
Russia is standing up to the Fourth Reich
@@bekeneelSuuure, we know this because Ukraine and the Western media tell us so, just like they've told us a lot of things.
Joe Biden and Mike Johnson: "Don't worry. Another $300 billion on the way"
Actually, 300 billion is the amount added to the national debt every month now. On top of that, Yellen is borrowing the same sum at even higher interest rates.
Are they printing $1000 dollar notes now to keep ahead of the money supply?
Ukraine aid costs almost nothing to US, and boost their weapon industry. Yearly defense budget is almost 1 trillion$
There are still no available weapons even if they do steal all the money.
Yeah Mikee Johnson found out what Putin is doing to Evangelicals in Ukraine and Russia. So heaven's sky is the limit on Ukraine aid...
Thank you Alexander .
the most important defensive equipment any ukrainian soldier would appear to need, in my book, is an operable yet almost undetectable phone to do a well timed Volga. creeps me out, to even think what it must be like to be in that position.
❤😊YOU ARE THE BEST.
Thank you sir for your diligence. Hopefully everyone will once again meet their families.
The Russians intend to use the bridges over the Dniper, so why destroy them.
Thank you Alexander, please take good care of yourself friend
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Stop Netanyahu now, USA.
And ICC
@@aidanmacdougall9250 I don't think ICC is associated with UN , except sharing the same address in the Hague. Wasn't it used to indict Putin?
@@SeanPan-it3jm I never said it was but it would hold a certain power over Satanyahu, even if it was just to stop him traveling freely like with President Putin. ICJ should arrest/ indite him also!
Thank you Alexander, always looking forward to listening your analysis ❤🙏
Apr 28, 2024 Update on the conflict in Ukraine for April 28, 2024… - US announces that it has secretly transferred long-range ATACMS to Ukraine recently, ahead of the more recent arms package; - Fewer ATACMS are available to Ukraine than Russia’s Iskander equivalent which also has a longer range than ATACMS; - The ATACMS along with the weapons and ammunition sent to Ukraine as part of the recent arms package are not war-winning capabilities, lacking the full combined arms capabilities Russia possesses as well as qualitative and quantitative disadvantages. - Meanwhile, on the battlefield, Russia forces continue advancing particularly in the Donbass region as exhausted Ukrainian forces continue withdrawing along the front; - While the collective West struggles to arm Ukraine, Ukraine itself is suffering from an increasing manpower crisis. Even if it was able to recruit a large enough quantity of manpower, it does not have the time or resources to properly train and arms them; - It must be remembered that while Ukrainian military capabilities diminish, Russian capabilities continue to expand; - The New Atlas
Thank You.
Thank you Alexander for painting a picture of how the war is going on the ground. It makes me think about the people living in those villages - are they in the midst of all these shellings etc? Can they tend to their veggies and animals? or are they evacuated for the duration of the battling?
Good questions❤
PL an American provides a pretty good perspective although as he states, get educated from all possible information sources including ones on the ground on both sides and get to your common denominator on your own instead of being served with one 😊
Good day! 👍
Another great load of truth information Alex, thank you for all your time in this subject
Love your “Good Day” opening today!!! 👍🙏🍀
Splendid job Alexander.
I think they haven't destroyed the bridges so it's easier for Ukraine to bring over their tanks and military equipment so it's easier to destroy
ICC judges will now require heavy police protection.
Why? They didn't when they charged Putin so why now.
From who?
@@filmbuffo5616 Stern gang sorts
The unit decided to survive
Surrender if possible, it beats the alternative..
I'd love to know what the Ukrainian officer asked in his term for surrender. Especially when it would have been FABulous if he refused.
Seeing the 90% of exchanged Ukrainians say they were tortured and Russians often kill prisoners even wounded ones its not really all that attractive as an alternative...
Thank you
Thank u Alexander for the analysis.
Morning Alexander. Keep up the good work. J.
Nice episode!
Russian forces advanced all along the Donbass frontline over the last week, seizing the villages of Pervomayskoe, Novomikhailovka and Bogdanovka - the latter of which is located a kilometer from the key strategic town of Chasov Yar - in Donetsk People’s Republic. Further south in the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions, the Russian military wiped out 360 Ukrainian troops, 30 motor vehicles, and 20 field artillery guns, including eight US-made M777 howitzers since last Saturday, the ministry said in a statement. Across the entire theater of operations, Ukraine lost a total of 8,280 soldiers over the past seven days, according to the ministry’s data. - RT

❤😊HAPPY SUNDAY SIR
Blinken is a good actor. You have to be to be really good at being two faced, to hold a press conference to threaten a country then go to a meeting with the country's leader
G'DAY!
I told you guys you were being duped by the ashkanazi americans, but you did not listen. better than later, than never.
I agree with you Alexander. As always..Washington will happily sacrifice human life to cause embarrassment that may last a week. The sickest minds at work.
Yeah back at you Alex good day.
Good day!
You can join military here in US at age 18 and could have been drafted at same age during a conflict.
Thank you for your work.
Thanks for the update
Predicting future can get close to encouraging it.
Russia is huge superpower and will always be!! BTW, countries from NATO can only afford fighting each other as already happened when USA ended Germanyś Nord stream !!!! Last year we could see the "quality" of USA´s weapons in counterofensive in Ukraine. The only things which were remarkable about those guns were the PRICE and the SPEED in which these were wiped out... USA decided not to use the remaining Abrams, since they found out, that it could not survive any direct contact wit Russia´s very capable army. Notice the paradox: Ukraine is forcefully sending man to front lines to die there, while USA decided, that their machines should not "die" in Ukraine , crazy disgusting NATO...
❤😮UKRAINE IS RETREATING AND SURRENDERING
💯✅️
great news
If the US/UK destroy the Kurch Bridge, I doubt that Russia will allow Ukraine to remain in existence in any form. Russia would go all the way to the Polish border. The Russians are probably keeping the Dnieper bridges intact because they know that they will soon be using them.
That will be day if and when the ICC will publish indictments and issue “arrest warrants”. It will be a glorious day and signify the beginning of the end of the ZGI. They should act brave and decisively.
Thank you Alexander!
😂
Thanks for the update, Alexander.
Just because the US bully say fight Ukraine needs to stand alone and bloody talk.
*THIS IS APPALLING* 👇 President Emmanuel Macron has been accused of undermining French sovereignty and military deterrence after the head of state “opened the debate” about creating a common European defence armed with nuclear weapons. In an interview published on Saturday evening with the Ebra group of regional French newspapers, Mr Macron said per Le Figaro: “I am in favour of opening this debate which must include anti-missile defence, the firing of long-range weapons, nuclear weapons for those who have them or who have American nuclear weapons on their soil.” “Let’s put everything on the table and look at what truly protects us in a credible way,” he continued, but maintained that France would keep “its specificity but is ready to contribute more to the defence of European soil”. “Being credible also means having long-range missiles that would deter the Russians. And there is nuclear weapons: French doctrine is that we can use them when our vital interests are threatened. I have already said that there is a European dimension to these vital interests,” the president said.
ROFLMAO.Da Tovarishch?
Macron doesn't know french history he better look up Wikipedia 1814 when french signed capitulation if front of Russians in Paris
$100 bet: ICC won’t indict Israel high level government officials; Ukraine-USA won’t destroy bridge to spoil Putin’s inaugural party celebration.
