Atesh Rail Sabotage Rocks Russia - Jason Jay Smart



Despite Russia's bold claims of "victory", a close look at the numbers reveals a very different story. While Russia has lost more than one million soldiers, its territorial gains remain minimal, proving this is a war Russia cannot win.

This video exposes the shocking truth behind the Russian military’s attrition rate and its deep-seated corruption. Ukraine's long-range drone strikes are wreaking havoc, targeting key Russian airbases and crippling oil refineries deep inside Russia. The Black Sea Fleet is no longer a credible threat, having been decimated by a country with no traditional navy.
The war at home is just as brutal. Russia's economy is in a state of freefall, struggling with high inflation and a low growth rate, while the population suffers. The financial burden of the war is unsustainable, and a growing number of Russian citizens are expressing dissent through sabotage and rebellion.

The evidence proves the Putin regime is far more fragile than it appears. The ongoing disaster is a direct result of Vladimir Putin's corrupt leadership, which has left the nation vulnerable and on the brink of collapse.
