Russian Corvette Burns in St. Petersburg After Drone Strike! Proect 20380 "Boykiy"
Suchomimus
A Ukrainian drone strike hit the Russian Steregushchy-class corvette *Boyky* (Project 20380) while it was in dry dock in St. Petersburg, with follow-up footage showing the warship burning heavily after being struck directly on the rear. The *Boyky* entered service in 2013, displaces around 1,800 tons, and is armed with anti-ship cruise missiles and anti-air missiles — one of five such corvettes Russia operated in the Baltic Fleet. The presenter notes this is the second Baltic Fleet corvette struck by Ukraine in recent months, following a hit on a Karakurt-class vessel, and assesses the *Boyky* as likely destroyed or very severely damaged. The strike coincided with the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.

Ammo Depot Destroyed at St. Petersburg: BIG Ammo Cookoffs!
Suchomimus
The video reports on a Ukrainian strike near St. Petersburg, Russia, specifically targeting the 15th Arsenal of the Russian Navy, with audio footage capturing large amounts of ammunition cooking off, confirming significant damage to the depot. Geolocation by open-source analysts identified the fire's origin at the spread-out arsenal complex, though its dispersed layout reduced the likelihood of a full chain-reaction destruction. A separate, simultaneous strike was also geolocated to Kronstadt Naval Base itself, making it two distinct hits in the area, though what was struck at the base remains unconfirmed, with unverified rumors including a submarine or a ship-building facility.

Satellite Imagery of Strike on x2 Tu-142 Maritime Patrol Aircraft at Taganrog
Suchomimus
Satellite imagery confirms damage to two Russian Tu-142 maritime patrol aircraft struck by drones at Taganrog Aviation Repair Plant. The first aircraft shows extensive fire damage at the wing-fuselage junction with a possible structural collapse, while the second had a wing completely knocked off by the drone strike. Both aircraft had been pulled from storage in May and were likely undergoing restoration to return to active service, possibly for patrolling against Ukrainian marine drones in the Kerch Strait area. The Taganrog facility is strategically significant as Russia's only plant capable of repairing its A50 AWACS aircraft fleet, and has been targeted by Ukraine on previous occasions.

Update from Ukraine | Big! Bridge in Crimea Hit! Ukraine Cuts All Supplies
Denys Davydov
Ukraine struck the Chongar Bridge connecting Crimea to the mainland multiple times using FPV and heavy beam UAV drones, with the Russian-installed governor of occupied Kherson Oblast confirming the damage and announcing traffic had been rerouted through Arman and Perekop crossings. The presenter notes this mirrors Ukraine's 2022 destruction of the Antonivka bridge, and argues that cheaper heavy drones carrying 200 kg of TNT are a more sustainable method than cruise missiles for destroying such infrastructure. Ukraine is simultaneously targeting Russian logistics vehicles in Donetsk Oblast and inside Russian territory itself, with strikes reported as far as Belgorod region, while Russian net protections on vehicles are shown to be ineffective against larger Ukrainian drones. An overnight Neptune missile strike on the Kerch Bridge was claimed by Russian sources to have been intercepted, though the Kerch Bridge remains Ukraine's hardest target due to heavy Russian air-defense concentrations around it.

Putin HUMILIATED As Ukraine Strikes Presidential Forum!
Combat Veteran News
Ukrainian drones struck a major oil terminal in St. Petersburg on the opening day of Russia's St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, causing large fires and sending smoke over the city as international delegates arrived. A former UK defense attaché described the attack as "exceptionally humiliating" for Putin, as it exposed Russia's inability to protect critical infrastructure in his own home city during a high-profile diplomatic event. Simultaneously, Ukraine struck a Russian Baltic Fleet corvette at its home base and hit additional oil terminals, demonstrating that Russian air defenses are overwhelmed by the vast distances drones must traverse across sparsely populated Russian territory. Russian state media largely ignored the attacks, which the video's host argues signals the Kremlin has no viable way to spin the security failures, particularly damaging given that the Russian elite class in St. Petersburg and Moscow—whose passive support Putin depends on—witnessed the embarrassment firsthand.

Ukraine is Destroying Russia's 3rd Largest Refinery
Jake Broe
Ukrainian drones struck Russia's third-largest oil refinery in Ryazan, southeast of Moscow, causing a massive fire and destroying multiple distillation towers and a diesel hydrotreatment facility, with the explosion so powerful it caused oil to rain down on the surrounding city. Ukraine also struck the Nevinnomyssk Azot chemical plant in Stavropol Krai for the sixth time and hit a Gazprom gas processing plant in Astrakhan, halting its operations. Ukraine's FPV "Fire Point" drones additionally destroyed a naval aircraft, a Ka-27 helicopter, two air defense systems (Tor-M2 and Pantsir-S1), and a cargo ship, with nightly equipment losses estimated at over $100 million. The video also covers growing discontent within Russia, including pro-war military bloggers turning against the Kremlin and Putin's approval rating dropping to 65% — prompting the state polling agency to abandon phone surveys in favor of in-person visits.

Massive Russian Drone & Missile Strike Hits Ukraine Overnight!
Combat Veteran News
Russia launched one of the largest missile and drone strikes of the war, firing 729 missiles and drones at Kyiv, Dnipro, and other Ukrainian cities overnight, killing 17 people, including an emergency responder killed in a deliberate "double-tap" follow-up strike on a residential area. Ukrainian air defenses performed strongly against drones and cruise missiles, downing over 90% of the 656 Shahed drones and most cruise missiles, but struggled against the approximately 30 Iskander ballistic missiles, intercepting only about 11 of them — meaning two-thirds hit their targets. The video highlights that Russia is increasingly relying on ballistic missiles precisely because they penetrate Ukrainian defenses, and that Russia now produces up to three Iskander missiles for every single U.S. Patriot interceptor manufactured. In response, Ukrainian President Zelensky has called on European allies to share Patriot systems and proposed that Ukraine be allowed to manufacture Patriot missiles domestically to address the critical global shortage of ballistic missile interceptors.

1,000 Ukrainian Drones Stormed the Core of Russia
Jake Broe
Ukraine launched a massive drone assault involving over 1,000 drones targeting the Moscow region, striking key infrastructure including the Solnechnogorsk fuel pumping station and oil depot (destroying four storage tanks), the Moscow refinery, and causing disruptions at Sheremetyevo International Airport. Russian air defenses shot down the majority of drones, but falling debris and misfired surface-to-air missiles struck Russian apartment buildings, with millions of Moscow residents experiencing drone warfare for the first time. Ukrainian intelligence also released intercepted Russian documents showing that sanctions and drone strikes on export infrastructure have forced at least one Russian oil company to shut down around 400 wells, significantly impacting oil production. Russian state media largely ignored the attacks during the assault, while viral social media videos showed Russian civilians visibly shaken by the explosions — experiencing what Ukrainian civilians have endured almost daily for over four years.

DISASTER FOR PUTIN? RUSSIAN FLEET UNDER FIRE: UKRAINE HITS SHIPS IN MAJOR PORT ATTACK || 2026
Warthog Defense
Ukraine launched a major long-range drone attack on Russia's Kronstadt naval base in the Leningrad region, striking ships and infrastructure approximately 684 miles from the front lines. The Russian Baltic Fleet corvette *Boyky*, a Project 20380 guided-missile warship undergoing repairs in dry dock, was set on fire and confirmed damaged by Ukraine's unmanned systems forces. The same overnight operation also struck the St. Petersburg oil terminal — one of the largest in Northwestern Russia — and a defense industry plant in the Tambov region that reportedly produces systems for military aviation and missiles. The attacks coincided with the opening of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum 2026, causing flight disruptions at Pulkovo Airport and severely undermining the Kremlin's efforts to project economic stability and normalcy to international guests.

BREAKING! DIRECT HIT on nuclear fuel storage near Chornobyl! Fire, destruction & threat to Europe
UATV English
Russian forces struck the centralized storage facility for spent nuclear fuel near the Chornobyl nuclear power plant, causing a fire and structural damage. Ukraine's state nuclear company Energoatom confirmed that no spent fuel was stored in the building at the time, the fire was extinguished, no employees were injured, and radiation levels remained normal. President Zelenskyy condemned the strike as an act of nuclear terrorism and called on the international community to take firm new steps against Russia. The broadcast also covered widespread Russian drone and missile attacks across multiple Ukrainian regions, including Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, Odessa, and Sumy, resulting in casualties and infrastructure damage.

Russia Just Rejected the Off-Ramp — And Raised the Stakes
Professor Gerdes Explains 🇺🇦
Putin rejected Zelenskyy's open letter calling for peace, dismissing it as "rude" and unworthy of direct engagement, instead redirecting his message to Russian troops on the front lines with the rallying call "Keep working, brothers." The video analyzes Putin's remarks at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), where he falsely characterized a Ukrainian strike on a drone-training dormitory in Luhansk as a "terrorist attack on a college dorm killing children," a claim the host disputes. A Russian retired colonel speaking at the same forum chillingly floated the idea of detonating a liquefied natural gas carrier to simulate a nuclear-level shock without crossing the nuclear threshold, while Russian officials presented a facade of economic stability despite real shortages. The video also highlights Candace Owens appearing as a speaker at SPIEF alongside sanctioned Russian disinformation agents and philosopher Alexander Dugin, with investigative documents showing SPIEF panels serve as recruitment pipelines for Russian state propaganda and influence operations targeting foreign influencers.

Putin's Fuel Crisis Is Spreading Fast
Professor Gerdes Explains 🇺🇦
Ukraine's sustained drone and missile campaign against Russian fuel infrastructure has triggered a severe fuel crisis spreading from occupied Crimea to Moscow itself. In May 2026 alone, Ukraine struck 8 of Russia's 10 largest refineries at least 16 times, pushing refinery output to its lowest level in 16 years; in Crimea, all three rail ferry supply routes were destroyed, civilian drivers refuse to haul fuel due to danger, and residents have resorted to horse-drawn transport while black-market gasoline fetches up to $15 per gallon. The crisis has now reached Moscow, where major fuel retailers have imposed purchase caps of 60–150 liters per customer, and Russia's budget deficit has ballooned to 5.9 trillion rubles (≈$75 billion) in just four months—already 55% above the full-year target—even as oil export revenues nearly doubled due to the Iran war, because non-oil revenues remain weak and soaring military spending cannot be sustained.

Even Putin's Own War Bloggers Are Mocking Him
Professor Gerdes Explains 🇺🇦
Putin admitted in a meeting with officials that Russia's much-hyped Arishnik hypersonic missile strikes on Ukraine were not genuine combat operations but rather tests to observe how the missile's warheads dispersed — with one missile hitting a civilian garage complex and another misfiring and landing in Russian-held territory. This directly contradicted the narrative pushed by Russian state propaganda and pro-war Telegram channels, which had claimed the strikes destroyed secret facilities and eliminated Ukrainian commanders as retaliation for the attack on Starobilsk. The admission prompted widespread mockery and incredulity from Russia's own military bloggers, who noted the absurdity of spending an estimated $80 million on two Arishnik missiles only to hit a barn and misfire. The video's presenter argues the Arishnik is an overrated, repurposed older system being marketed as a wonder weapon, and that Putin's explanation appears to be a face-saving cover story for what was likely a significant targeting failure.

UKRAINE ADVANCES NEAR STEPNOHIRSK - RUSSIAN PANIC GROWS AS UKRAINE PUSHES FORWARD IN ZAPORIZHZHIA
Warthog Defense
Ukrainian forces are reportedly conducting localized offensive operations south of Zaporizhzhia, with claims of regaining control of Stepnohirsk and pushing toward Kamyanske, exploiting what they describe as strained Russian logistics and supply lines. Russian military bloggers and pro-war commentators are expressing growing concern, acknowledging that some previously held positions are being contested or lost, and warning of a widening gap between official Russian narratives and battlefield realities. Drone warfare has emerged as a critical factor, with Ukrainian FPV and reconnaissance drones allegedly outnumbering Russian capabilities at the tactical level, disrupting supply routes across the southern front including corridors to Crimea. Both sides face constraints, but Russian sources describe the Zaporizhzhia front as shifting from a static line to a fluid zone of continuous attritional pressure with gradual positional erosion.

Ukraine is Destroying Russia's Baltic Sea Fleet Now
Jake Broe
Ukrainian drones struck Russia's Kronstadt naval base near St. Petersburg — headquarters of Russia's Baltic Fleet — hitting the naval port, a fuel depot, and ammunition depots, marking a significant long-range strike over 1,000 km from Ukraine. The attack followed Ukraine's drone strikes on five vessels in occupied Azov Sea ports near Mariupol and Berdyansk, which Ukraine labeled smuggling ships supplying Russian forces or stealing Ukrainian grain. These military actions coincided with a diplomatic exchange in which Zelensky wrote an open letter to Putin calling for a meeting and ceasefire after Putin hinted at readiness for an agreement, but Putin dismissed a meeting as pointless the following day. Zelensky characterized Putin's rejection as choosing war, while analysts noted the letter was largely aimed at the Russian public to highlight that Putin alone is prolonging the conflict.

The Ukrainian drone pilots behind NATO's drill failure
Kyiv Independent
At NATO's Aurora 2025 war games in Sweden, a small team of Ukrainian drone specialists from the 20th Brigade of Ukraine's National Guard were brought in to simulate Russian drone forces against NATO troops. Playing as "OPFOR," the Ukrainians used FPV and ISR drones to so thoroughly dominate the exercises — destroying NATO armored columns, neutralizing engineering vehicles, and locating enemy commanders — that organizers were forced to repeatedly restart the drills because NATO forces could not complete their objectives. The two Ukrainian pilots interviewed describe how NATO soldiers, particularly those at an airport defense exercise, were eager to learn from their real combat experience but noted that institutional bureaucracy and strict flight regulations hamper NATO's ability to rapidly adopt drone warfare tactics. The Ukrainians emphasized that meaningful change needs to come from the highest command levels, not just from individual soldiers absorbing lessons on the ground.

MACRON STRIKES BACK: FRENCH WARSHIPS STOP RUSSIAN OIL TANKER LINKED TO SHADOW FLEET || 2026
Warthog Defense
On May 31st, the French Navy intercepted the Russian shadow fleet tanker *Teagor* in the Atlantic Ocean, a vessel already sanctioned by the EU, UK, and Ukraine for transporting Russian crude oil. French President Macron defended the operation, stating it is unacceptable for ships to bypass international sanctions and fund Russia's war against Ukraine. Separately, Ukrainian drone strikes disrupted fuel supplies to occupied Crimea, forcing Russian-installed authorities to introduce fuel rationing, while Ukraine's 3rd Army Corps announced drone control over key Russian military supply routes deep into occupied Luhansk Oblast. Ukrainian unmanned forces also struck training grounds and military camps of multiple Russian armies, including the 64th Brigade — notorious for its role in the Bucha massacre — confirming at least 31 casualties from that unit.

Ukraine Gets MASSIVE $ 8 Billion Arms Shipment!
Combat Veteran News
Hungary's new Prime Minister Peter Magyar reversed his predecessor Viktor Orbán's two-year veto, unblocking $7.7 billion in EU arms payments to Ukraine through the European Peace Facility — an EU mechanism that reimburses member states for up to 40% of the value of weapons donated from their own stockpiles. This is described as the first tranche of a potential $40 billion in backlogged EU aid. Meanwhile, Russia's economic situation is deteriorating, with sovereign bond yields around 15% and a budget deficit of roughly 15% of GDP; Russian billionaires have been compelled to "voluntarily" donate approximately $3 billion to the state treasury, which still covers only about 5% of the annual budget shortfall.

Ukraine unleashes constant JDAM airstrikes after securing its largest bomb package yet
RFU News — Strategic Geopolitics
Ukraine has received its largest single precision-strike package of the war — a $373 million deal for over 1,500 JDAM-ER (extended range) bombs, financed jointly by Ukrainian funds and European NATO contributions. The extended-range variant adds deployable wings enabling glide attacks from up to 80 kilometers, allowing Ukrainian MiG-29 and Su-27 jets to strike targets accurately in any weather while staying outside Russian frontline air defenses. Ukraine has used the influx to intensify strikes on Russian command-and-control nodes, drone operator posts, logistics infrastructure, and troop concentrations across the Zaporizhzhia region, near Kostiantynivka, Pokrovsk, and other frontline areas. Analysts note that the now-predictable resupply pipeline transforms precision air strikes from rare, conserved assets into routine battlefield tools, significantly raising Ukraine's operational tempo.

Update from Ukraine | Russian Army Exhausted. Worst month since 2023
Denys Davydov
In May 2025, Ukraine liberated 120 square kilometers more than Russia managed to capture, making it Russia's worst month for territorial gains in several years, despite a record-high number of combat clashes (over 7,000) that month. Putin contradicted himself in a recent interview, first claiming Russia held the initiative on the front lines and then acknowledging a "standstill situation," while also admitting proper decisions were not being made in time. Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich reportedly met with Zelensky in Kyiv as a possible back-channel envoy from Putin, suggesting Russia may be seeking to pause or freeze the conflict, though Putin still aims to hold Donbas and reportedly plans to remain in power through 2036. Ukrainian drone strikes continue to devastate Russian logistics, and the presenter suggests June could set a new record for Russian losses in the war.

Ukraine Just Made the Sea of Azov Unsafe for Russia
Professor Gerdes Explains 🇺🇦
On June 5, 2026, Ukrainian drone strikes hit five Russian vessels in the Sea of Azov's Taganrog Bay, including a tanker and cargo ships named Natacha and Sirus, each struck by four drones, killing five people and injuring six according to Russian media. The targeted vessels were being used to smuggle stolen Ukrainian grain, transport military cargo, and move fuel, representing an extension of Ukraine's broader campaign to disrupt Russian logistics that had previously targeted land corridors, Crimean roadways, and the Kerch Bridge area. Ukrainian drones also struck an oil depot in occupied Luhansk overnight, triggering a large fire, while Russia simultaneously launched 216 UAVs and cruise missiles at Ukraine, with a 91.67% shoot-down rate but still causing civilian casualties including four workers killed at a Kyiv Oblast food plant. The video also notes Russia's new tactic of delayed-detonation submunitions from Iskander missiles designed to kill rescuers and civilians returning to strike sites 20-30 minutes after initial impact.

NO SAFE ROADS LEFT: UKRAINE CAN NOW STRIKE ALL RUSSIAN LOGISTICS IN OCCUPIED TERRITORIES || 2026
Warthog Defense
Ukraine's drone campaign has entered a new phase, with President Zelensky stating that Ukrainian forces can now strike Russian military logistics across virtually all occupied territories, leaving "practically no safe roads" for Russian troops and supplies. Between January and May, Ukraine struck 15 Russian oil refineries, pushing nearly 40% of Russia's primary refining capacity offline and causing fuel shortages severe enough that occupied Crimea began rationing gasoline via vouchers. On the battlefield, the Ukrainian monitoring group Deep State reported that May marked the first month since the 2023 counteroffensive where Russia's net territorial gains turned negative, despite a 37.5% increase in Russian assault operations. Zelensky and presidential office chief Budanov have both expressed that ending the war before winter 2026 is a realistic goal, while peace negotiations remain stalled over Russia's demand that Ukraine withdraw from parts of Donbas.

Desertion Crisis ROCKS Russian Army!!
Combat Veteran News
Russia's military is facing a significant desertion crisis, with soldiers actively seeking to be sent to prison as the only realistic legal escape from open-ended military service, since Putin's mobilization decree eliminated fixed-term contracts and requires soldiers to serve until death, age 65, or a court sentence. Some deserters are even hiring lawyers to help secure a criminal conviction, as commanders — desperate for manpower — typically refuse to press charges and instead return deserters to their units, where they face brutal informal punishment such as being tied to trees and beaten. Russia has been recruiting from increasingly unconventional sources including pre-trial detainees, failing university students, and coerced civilian workers, all of whom face devastating casualties on the front lines, with Ukrainian drones reportedly killing Russian troops at a 5-to-1 ratio. Even when deserters do face court proceedings, they often receive only suspended sentences and are sent back to their units rather than to prison.

Update from Ukraine | Great! Donetsk Airport Drone Base Ambushed Frontline Details
Denys Davydov
The video provides a frontline update across multiple sectors of the Ukraine war. In the Zaporizhzhia direction, Ukrainian forces made small advances near Stepnehirsk toward Plumley, while Russia conducted drone strikes on civilian targets in Zaporizhzhia city, hitting a trolley bus, a fire truck, and an ambulance. Russian forces achieved a limited infiltration gain in the Huliaipole area, capturing part of the village of Hulle Pilske, though Ukraine is counterattacking and the frontline remains highly unstable. In the Donetsk region, the situation in Kostiantynivka is deteriorating as Russian forces have pushed into the city's central areas, using heavy gliding bombs to demolish entire blocks before sending in infantry, while Ukraine struggles to maintain positions due to aviation bombardment and resource shortages.

Russia Got Hit Hard Last Night
Professor Gerdes Explains 🇺🇦
Ukraine launched approximately 410 drones overnight on January 5-6, 2026, striking targets across Russia after Putin rejected Zelensky's peace talks proposal. Key targets hit included a naval ammunition depot near St. Petersburg (which detonated for hours during the St. Petersburg Economic Forum), the Antipinsky oil refinery in the Urals, an oil depot in Krasondar region covering 5,000 square meters, and the port of Mariupol. Russia responded by cutting internet access in the St. Petersburg area, while Russian authorities falsely attributed the Tyumen refinery fire to a "technical malfunction." On the battlefield, Russia suffered approximately 1,380 casualties with no territorial changes, and the video warns that Russia is stockpiling missiles—estimated at around 50 ready for the next strike—and has been doubling production of the cheaper RM-48U missile as a decoy to drain Ukraine's interceptor supplies.

Zelensky: "Putin, End the War or We'll End It For You"
Combat Veteran News
Zelensky published an open letter to Putin — written in English and Ukrainian and posted on the presidential website — demanding that Russia end the war or Ukraine will end it by force. The video's host analyzes the letter, noting it is clearly aimed at a broader Western audience rather than Putin personally, given that it was published in English rather than Russian. Key points in the letter include reminding Putin that he has waged war against Ukraine for roughly half of his 26 years in power, highlighting growing Russian domestic discontent over drone strikes, fuel shortages, and looming mobilization, and refuting the NATO-encirclement justification for the invasion. The host concludes the letter reads more as deliberate trolling and a propaganda message to Western audiences than a sincere peace overture.

Ukraine Building ITS OWN Patriot Missile!!
Combat Veteran News
Ukrainian private defense startup Firepoint has conducted a successful test of its FP7X missile, a domestically developed air defense interceptor intended as a Patriot alternative. The missile is approximately 10 meters long, capable of reaching speeds of around 2,000 meters per second, and is equipped with an infrared seeker, with plans to add semi-active and visual tracking options and integration with radars such as the Swedish Giraffe and French Ground Master. The video argues this development reflects a broader shift in European thinking, as NATO nations — alarmed by U.S. troop withdrawals, political unpredictability under Trump, and America's near-monopoly on critical capabilities like ballistic missile defense — are increasingly motivated to build their own sovereign military systems. The FP7X is reportedly being considered as the basis for a European missile defense project, signaling that Ukraine's wartime innovation may help fill a major gap in European security independence.

Putin's options after the war has stalled
Anders Puck Nielsen
The analyst identifies four options available to Putin as the war has stalled due to Ukraine's drone warfare, successful mid-range strikes on Russian logistics, and Russia's inability to replace battlefield losses. The options are: accepting defeat (low regime risk short-term but politically toxic medium-term), freezing the conflict (low regime risk, perpetual war that would devastate Ukraine's strategy), mass mobilization (high regime risk, economic catastrophe, unlikely to change battlefield dynamics), and dramatic escalation against NATO to frighten Western Europe into abandoning Ukraine (high risk/high reward gamble). The analyst argues that freezing the conflict would be Putin's smartest move as it is most damaging to Ukraine long-term, but predicts Putin will most likely choose another wave of mass mobilization, which is assessed as the least effective option, while warning Europeans to prepare for the possibility of direct military confrontation with Russia.

What does the US get out of NATO? — And why Rubio is talking to Trump through the TV
Anders Puck Nielsen
Marco Rubio recently argued that a key U.S. benefit from NATO is the ability to use European bases to project military power globally, citing how Spain's refusal to allow base access during the Iran war created complications for the mission. The video's host interprets this not as criticism directed at Europeans, but as Rubio's attempt to contribute to an internal American debate by reminding the Trump administration of the strategic advantages the U.S. derives from its global alliance system. The host also draws a parallel to communication dynamics in Putin's circle, arguing that Rubio appears to be deliberately framing his message through media appearances to reach Trump indirectly, since Trump is reportedly unreceptive to direct briefings but watches a great deal of television. This suggests that senior advisors like Rubio feel it is more effective to influence the president through televised statements than through face-to-face meetings.

Global Warning with Ryan McBeth Episode 14
Ryan McBeth
In Episode 14 of *Global Warning*, Ryan McBeth covers five under-reported security and geopolitical stories. He discusses the FBI's warning about fake FIFA websites being used to steal personal data, and Congress's long-overdue concern that commercial data brokers are selling US military personnel's location data—including cell phone data—to anyone with a credit card, a threat the Pentagon has ignored for over a decade. He also examines China's potential relaxation of its Hukou (household registration) system, arguing that easing movement restrictions could lower China's abnormally high savings rate and stimulate domestic consumption. Finally, he touches on the US military developing cost-effective methods to counter cheap drones, and China's growing maritime assertiveness.
