🇷🇺🇪🇺 Europe may be preparing for the wrong Russian war
Ukraine just launched one of its largest attacks on Russia, with Moscow saying more than 1,600 drones were intercepted, including hundreds headed toward the capital.
At the same time, European intelligence warnings are getting darker.
Officials cited by The Guardian say Russia could test NATO within months through sabotage, drones, missiles or even a limited incursion, while France reportedly says it is already conducting undisclosed conventional responses to Russian hybrid attacks.
Brandon thinks Europe is misreading the danger.
He does not believe Moscow is preparing a conventional invasion of NATO.
Instead, he expects Russia to keep grinding through Ukraine while potentially targeting the infrastructure and supply networks supporting Kyiv.
But there’s a much more dangerous possibility.
Europe could prepare so aggressively for a Russian attack that the preparations themselves help create the confrontation everyone claims to be trying to prevent.
European governments increasingly see rearmament not merely as defense policy, but as a way of rebuilding the continent around a new military economy.
Meanwhile, the battlefield itself keeps moving.
That leaves Europe in an increasingly ugly position.
Russia doesn't need to invade NATO for this to become a NATO-Russia war.
It only needs one escalation, one retaliation and one badly misunderstood red line.
World wars rarely begin because everyone decides they want one.
They begin because everyone thinks the next escalation will still be manageable.

🇮🇱🇸🇦🇺🇸 Netanyahu is secretly pushing to normalize with Saudi Arabia, and the reason why reveals just how badly this war has gone...
University of London Prof. Haim Bresheeth, who also happens to be an ex-IDF soldier, joins the show with a picture that is bleaker than most are willing to admit:
Saudi cannot export oil, its East-West pipeline is down until late October, it cannot use the Bab el-Mandeb, and it is now buying spot oil in Europe, which is exactly why Netanyahu sees an opening: offer military help against the Houthis, extract political concessions in return.
On the Israeli public, Bresheeth is direct: Israelis do NOT understand how much the country is hated abroad, and when they do register it, they call it 'antisemitism' rather than what it actually is, a reaction to Gaza.
On Trump: he has access to the most sophisticated intelligence system ever built and makes no use of it, preferring to take direction from Netanyahu and Mossad because "they tell him what to do and he does it."
All of this feeds into the book Bresheeth is currently writing, "Israel as the Chaos Engine of the West," arguing that American decline began in '91 and accelerated with every war Israel pulled the U.S. into.
The most dangerous window ahead? The six weeks after Trump loses Congress, but before the new majority is sworn in...
Thanks for coming on, @HaimBresh
