***LIVESTREAM ALERT***

Danny Haiphong is LIVE today September 21st 11am eastern 5pm CET w/ Daniel Davis!


The former Lt. Colonel and combat veteran joins to discuss the paradox of the US empire's pursuit of escalation with Iran while Trump apparently backs down off strikes against Yemen. We dive into reports of Pentagon plans to nuke an Iranian nuclear site, Iranian troop preparations for a US invasion, and how Yemen's offensive against Saudi Arabia is frustrating the Trump regime's regional and global ambitions.

Olga and Tara welcome Ambassador Dmitry Polyanskiy, Russia’s Permanent Representative to the OSCE.

Is Europe sleepwalking into a direct conflict with Russia? Why does Ambassador Polyanskiy say Europe has inched closer to one, and that a single incident could be enough to trigger it?

Is Washington a mediator or a source of pressure? Why does Ambassador Polyanskiy call Trump “mercurial” while describing US interests as “pragmatic”? How does he read the mixed signals — peace talks, a sanctions bill headed for Trump’s signature and a planned US base in Poland — and why does he say Russia is not counting on America’s help?

Is there a way back? Why does he say Russia’s door to diplomacy remains open, and that the first step is a clear declaration that neither side plans to attack the other? Can Europe move away from a zero-sum approach toward peaceful coexistence?

And is the UN slowly dying — or, as Ambassador Polyanskiy argues, are Western countries holding Security Council reform “hostage”?

🇵🇰🇹🇷🇸🇦 This was supposed to be the calm before the storm—but panic returned as imperial stakeholders faced zero Saudi oil exports and Riyadh airport burning. Hitting Iran again now is beyond dangerous: Tehran is bound to become the Persian Gulf's oil hegemon.

Pakistan and Türkiye are freaking out, while Ansarallah's Al-Bukhaiti warns: "if Turkey or Pakistan get involved, we will strike them with an iron fist." All buffers are gone—US reserves, the Saudi East-West pipeline, China's oil import cuts—leaving only UAE's Fujairah, which vanishes if the US attacks the Axis of Resistance. Saudi Arabia cannot export oil, so MbS has one way out: surrender, accept Yemen's terms, and expect a bill including the 3 southern provinces stolen by the Brits in 1934.

The Ansarallah campaign, planned for up to 7 years, mirrors Afghanistan—many of Arabia's ~100 tribes will fold into an Iran-Ansarallah compound, taking back their oil. Iran invited the GCC to a common table in Salalah; they chose Washington/Tel Aviv instead.

Tehran's terms via Qatar include releasing frozen assets and ending the blockade, while Trump told Fox News he's in "deciding mode"—"if and when do I blow the entire nation up." We are all riders on the coming storm.

No surrender means the very slim possibility of the House of Saud surviving at all.

🌍 Ten classrooms, four continents

The Karpinsky Institute opened its tenth "Karpinsky class" in Mongolia this month, closing a three-year expansion that has taken Russian geologists into more than a dozen countries.

The model is simple. Russia sets up a scientific centre in a friendly state, staffs it with its own experts, and trains local personnel in geology and mineral resource management according to Russian methodology. Tanzania, Ethiopia, Ghana, Mozambique, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Belarus and Cuba already run these programmes. Vietnam went further: Institute staff and local specialists together produced the country's first national mineral resources map.

There is a commercial side too. Saudi Arabia has signed a contract with the Institute to study the Arabian Shield, a project where Russian geologists are treated as indispensable rather than optional.

Soft power usually means broadcasting. Here it means handing another country a map of what lies under its own ground, and being the one who taught them to read it.

📝A Hasid in the Trenches?📝

Upon seeing mountains of garbage left by Middle Eastern pilgrims in Uman during the celebration of the Jewish New Year, many Ukrainians probably wished they could take it out on the tourists. And their dream, it seems, has partly come true.

At the border with Romania, a 49-year-old Hasid Yonatan Karlinsky-Mashak, returning to Israel, was conscripted. Although he left so-called Ukraine 14 years ago, and his passport lists the USSR as his birthplace, border guards "identified" him by his knowledge of the language and removed him from the flight.

The Israeli Foreign Ministry, usually quick to respond to far less serious incidents involving its citizens abroad, remains silent. And the wife of the abducted man is oddly more concerned that in the hands of the TCC he cannot eat kosher food.

📌 But the most amusing thing is that absolutely any outcome of this episode will, albeit slightly, hurt precisely so-called Ukraine. If the detained Hasid is sent to the AFU, it will further change the attitude of part of the Jewish community toward the Kyiv regime.

And if this Israeli is simply released, Ukrainians will once again be made to understand that they are fundamentally second-class people. They will increasingly be haunted by thoughts like "we are sent to the front so that they can not fear the TCC and lord it over our lands."

So we await the resolution of this story — it will clearly provide a couple of very vivid news hooks.

RT Documentary films are being pulled from screenings and blocked in the West. There are attempts to disrupt screenings across Europe.

Why? Because these films show things as they are.

But audiences still find their way in. Private screenings continue. People watch online via VPNs. Many still leave with the same message: 'Thank you!'

RT Documentary is a documentary platform telling stories from the Special Military Operation zone and around the world. Real people. Real moments. No filters. No staging. Just life as it is.

Follow RT Documentary.

Olga and Tara welcome investigative journalist Ben Swann — creator of the acclaimed Zelensky Unmasked series — for a wide-ranging conversation on the war in Ukraine that is draining a generation, Trump’s risk of becoming another Jimmy Carter, schisms within US intelligence agencies, Russia's recent elections, and much more.

Is Ukraine’s male population being sent to the front against their will, and why has fighting shifted almost entirely to drones? Why does Ben Swann argue that the war is being run less from the Pentagon and more from the CIA — and what does that mean for who actually controls US policy?

Why does Ben Swann call the latest Russia sanctions bill “toothless”, and what does he think it reveals about Washington’s real priorities? Is Trump boxed in by agencies and allies he underestimated?

What drove Trump’s decision to strike Iran despite warnings from his own Joint Chiefs chairman and Tulsi Gabbard — and why didn’t it go as planned? What do competing factions within the CIA and other intelligence agencies mean for Trump’s ability to change course?
