Putin believes Russia is winning a global war against the West, even as Moscow resorts to arming disabled citizens and bank staff to defend its own skies.

@JasonJaySmart breaks down how the Kremlin is attempting to hide its severe 200-soldier-a-day manpower deficit as casualty rates skyrocket.

From drone incursions testing NATO airspace to indoctrinated schoolgirls training with assault rifles, Russia’s strategy relies on escalating hybrid warfare to exhaust Western political patience.

Meanwhile, pro-Kremlin commentators are beginning to publicly admit defeat on the front lines as economic desperation forces Moscow to beg Beijing for financial lifelines.

On September 25, I examine reports of a large Ukrainian long-range drone operation across Russia, including fires at Lukoil’s Perm oil refinery—some 1,500 kilometers from Ukraine—and strikes on the Iskra electronics plant in Ulyanovsk. Iskra is reportedly tied to semiconductor components for Kh-59 missiles, Pantsir air defenses, radar, and communications equipment. Reported targets also included the Novoshakhtinsk refinery, a synthetic-rubber facility in Voronezh, a logistics site in occupied Luhansk, and two radar stations in Rostov.

I compare this dispersed strike pattern with Russia’s overnight drone and missile attacks on Ukraine, including the deadly strike on a Kyiv residential high-rise and reported casualties in Kharkiv Oblast. I also assess airport disruptions, air-defense pressure, the earlier Kuibyshev refinery damage, and Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian logistics on the Zaporizhzhia front. The strategic issue is whether repeated, clustered drone raids can impose sustained costs on Russia’s oil, defense-industrial, and logistics networks.

176. Alaska’s Frozen Despair – Homeless in the Coldest State - Homeless in America

In this chilling documentary, we travel to the northern edge of America to expose a crisis hidden beneath the snow. “Alaska’s Frozen Despair – Homeless in the Coldest State” reveals the harsh, heartbreaking reality of life on the streets in one of the most unforgiving climates on Earth. Behind the postcard beauty of mountains and northern lights, thousands of people are fighting for survival — not against nature, but against neglect, addiction, and poverty.

This documentary takes viewers deep into Anchorage, Fairbanks, and the forgotten outskirts where the homeless face temperatures that can kill within hours. Shelters overflow, outreach programs are underfunded, and every night, the line between life and death grows thinner. For many, warmth has become a luxury — and hope, a distant memory.

We meet men and women who once had jobs, families, and homes but lost everything to rising costs, unemployment, and untreated trauma. The documentary captures their voices, their struggles, and their strength to endure the unimaginable. In a state so vast and resource-rich, how can so many be left behind?

Through powerful visuals and haunting testimonies, Homeless in America uncovers what the cameras rarely show — the human faces buried under layers of frost and despair. The cold in Alaska isn’t just physical; it’s systemic. It reflects a nation’s indifference to its most vulnerable.

As the snow falls and the streets freeze, this documentary asks a question every American must face: How did the richest nation on Earth allow its people to die in the cold?

291. $0 Cost Living: 5 Best Cities to Park Your RV on Public Land - Homeless Documentary 2025

In the volatile economic landscape of 2025, the cost of living has pushed the traditional American Dream to the breaking point. With rent prices hitting historic highs and inflation squeezing the working class, thousands are choosing—or are being forced—to find an alternative exit strategy: living in RVs on public lands.

This video is not a standard travel guide or a glossy "Van Life" montage. It is a tactical deep dive into the 5 best cities in the United States where you can legally park and live for $0. From the harsh deserts of Arizona to the remote forestry lands of Oregon, we analyze the logistics of survival. We break down exactly where to go, how to source water, and the unwritten rules of navigating the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) territories.

However, beyond the logistics lies a starker reality. Through the lens of an investigative homeless documentary, we deconstruct the razor-thin line between nomadic freedom and systemic displacement. We step inside the vehicles to interview the real people living on the fringes—those who have replaced mortgages with mobility to survive. This is an unflinching look at the current state of homeless in america, exploring how the RV has become the final fortress against total destitution for a growing segment of the population.

Is this a reclaiming of liberty, or a symptom of a broken housing system? Watch now to see the raw reality of zero-cost survival.

146. Michigan's Homeless Crisis: Fentanyl's Toll Echoes America's Silent Epidemic - Documentary is a gripping exploration of the intertwined crises of homelessness and fentanyl addiction ravaging communities across Michigan and beyond. This powerful documentary delves into the heart of Michigan’s homeless crisis, where the deadly grip of fentanyl has deepened the struggles of those living on the margins. Through intimate interviews and raw footage, it unveils the stark realities faced by individuals in cities like Detroit and rural areas alike, where homelessness in America has surged alongside the opioid epidemic. The film highlights how fentanyl, often laced into street drugs, has become a silent killer, claiming lives at an alarming rate—70% of Michigan’s overdose deaths by 2020 involved this synthetic opioid. The documentary weaves personal stories of loss and resilience, showcasing the human toll of this crisis while connecting Michigan’s plight to a broader national emergency. Homelessness in America, exacerbated by evictions and inadequate mental health support, creates a vicious cycle where fentanyl thrives, with unsheltered individuals facing overdose risks far higher than their housed counterparts. From local harm reduction efforts like naloxone distribution to the systemic failures fueling this epidemic, the film exposes the urgent need for action. With haunting visuals and heartfelt narratives, this documentary challenges viewers—especially those over 60 who’ve witnessed America’s changing landscape—to confront the silent epidemic tearing at the nation’s fabric. It calls for community-driven solutions, from supporting shelters to advocating for policy reform. Michigan's Homeless Crisis: Fentanyl’s Toll Echoes America’s Silent Epidemic - Documentary is both a wake-up call and a beacon of hope, urging us to address the interconnected crises of homelessness in America and fentanyl’s devastating impact before more lives are lost.

231. Utah’s Homeless Crisis EXPLODES as Washington Sleeps - Homeless in America

This documentary takes a closer look at Utah’s growing homeless crisis, examining how one of America’s once most praised housing models is now struggling under rising demand, limited resources, and shifting economic pressures. As tents spread across city streets and shelters reach capacity, many are asking how the situation escalated so quickly—and why Washington appears slow to respond.

Through interviews with local outreach workers, city officials, and individuals currently experiencing homelessness, this film highlights the human realities behind the headlines. The crisis in Utah is not just about housing; it is deeply connected to mental health, addiction, unemployment, and the increasing cost of living across the country. These are challenges seen in cities nationwide, making Utah a powerful example of a larger homelessness emergency unfolding in America.

While some communities push for expanded services and long-term support solutions, others call for stricter enforcement and relocation policies. This documentary explores both perspectives, urging viewers to consider what kind of approach leads to real, sustainable change.

249. The Secret Underworld Beneath America’s Streets - Documentary

The Secret Underworld Beneath America’s Streets reveals a grim, unseen reality where tunnels and tent cities form a hidden network of survival, addiction, and abandonment. This documentary exposes the silent corridors beneath major cities, where people navigate darkness, cold, and desperation while society walks above unaware. With raw stories of mental health struggles, drug crisis, camp sweeps, and collapsing social support, the documentary shows how these underground spaces become both shelter and trap. From forgotten tunnels to overcrowded tent cities, this film captures the human toll behind every shadowed corner, asking how a nation so powerful can allow such suffering to exist out of sight. This is not just a documentary—it is a wake-up call demanding accountability, compassion, and real solutions before the underworld grows even deeper.

@DailyHomelessNewss clearly has a awful person behind the channel making content. STAY AWAY FROM THEIR CHANNEL!!!!They continue to post dehumanizing images and thumbnails about homeless people just to get clicks and views. They are complete hypocrites who clearly don’t care enough to do the right thing. I don’t recommend subscribing to that channel and honestly they should be CANCELLED and banned from YouTube. Dehumanizing people and putting awful images up isn’t okay regardless of who you are doing it to and it should not be tolerated or acceptable behavior.

I can’t believe they really thought i would stick around when they continue to do the very awful thing they said they would stop doing because it’s wrong. Foolish.

Today, the most insane news is coming from the Liman direction. 

Recent reports from Ukrainian soldiers on the ground show that after clearing the forest south of Liman, Ukrainians just kept advancing and pushing Russians further back. Taking advantage of their newly captured territory, Ukrainians crossed over the river into the rear of the Russian advance on Sloviansk and collapsed it completely. 

For several months, Russians had been achieving a slow but gradual advance toward the Ukrainian city of Sloviansk through their infiltration tactics. The absence of any engineering fortifications such as deep anti-tank ditches or lines of razorwire meant that Russian infiltrators were never funneled into concentrated kill zones for Ukrainian defenders to eliminate. While Russians suffered notable losses during their advance, they had been successfully able to push Ukrainian lines back to the town of Mykolaivka. This is where Ukrainian engineering fortifications began again, and Russian forces were already launching their first probing assaults by the time Operation Vivaldi kicked into gear at Liman. 

However, this Russian push was fully dependent on their flanks being secured by the Serebryanski forest and the Donets River to the north, where Russian forces had been attempting to infiltrate into Liman. As Russian lines broke at Liman, so did the flank of the Russian force grouping advancing on Ukraine’s fortress belt. The biggest problem for Russians then became clear, as their denial about the severity of Ukrainian advances and lost territory left the Russian force grouping to the south completely unaware of the new threat on their flanks. 

Ukrainians immediately took advantage, and dedicated a good number of forces to crossing the river and engaging with the Russian forces in the rear of the Sloviansk offensive. Notably, these Russian forces included drone operators trained by the infamous Rubicon drone brigade, who had been deployed to the sector to train new Russian drone pilots, and are credited for a big portion of the success that Russians have experienced here. Ukrainians themselves positioned their own drone units directly on the frontline, allowing FPV kamikaze and bomber drones to strike deep into the Russian lines and putting Russians under heavy pressure. 

As Ukrainian assaults pinned down Russian fire and drone support units, Ukrainians initiated sector-wide counterattacks from the direction of Mykolaivka. These forces moved quickly to maintain their shock advantage, surrounding Russian forces before penetrating rapidly and deeply into Russian lines. As the Ukrainian force grouping from Mykolaivka advanced, they linked up with assault units that had crossed the river from Liman before continuing the advance. Ukrainian soldiers report that Russians had poorly consolidated their positions here in their hurry to advance. This allowed Ukrainian counterattacks to snowball to the point that Ukrainians began fully overrunning Russian drone pilots, frontline logistics depots, and low-level Russian command centers. As a result, Ukrainians captured an additional two hundred square kilometers south of the forest, and there is no report yet of the advance coming to a halt. 

Overall, the recent Ukrainian counterattacks into the Serebryanski forest and the Russian advance east of Mykolaivka have brought the total amount of liberated Ukrainian territory to a staggering eight hundred square kilometers. At this point, Ukraine’s Operation Vivaldi is turning from operational counterattacks to a full-blown sector-wide counteroffensive. Undoing over one-and-a-half years of Russian gains along a sixty-kilometer-wide frontline, and collapsing the Russian advance on one of the largest Ukrainian fortress cities left in Donbas.

Ukrainian forces have launched an intense strike campaign across the Orikhiv and Huliaipole directions, targeting the logistics network sustaining Russia’s offensive operations in Zaporizhzhia. One of the clearest examples came in Huliaipole, where Ukrainian reconnaissance tracked a Russian ammunition truck as it moved through the area and followed it to a hangar being used as cover. Less than three and a half hours after the vehicle was detected, pilots from the two hundred twenty fifth Assault Regiment struck it inside the shelter with a single FPV drone. Around sixty one hundred fifty two millimeter artillery shells stored in the hangar detonated, destroying the truck and its cargo. At the same time, Ukrainian aircraft were carrying out strikes against logistics routes feeding Russian forces toward Orikhiv.

This strike campaign follows the stabilization of the Orikhiv sector after Ukrainian airborne reinforcements were moved into the area from other parts of the front. Since their arrival, the frontline has remained largely unchanged, showing that the Russian advance has lost the momentum it previously had. Russian pressure has not disappeared, as shelling inside Orikhiv has shifted farther north through the city center, indicating continued assault and infiltration attempts against Ukrainian positions. With the frontline stabilized, Ukrainian forces have gained more room to target the logistics supporting Russian attacks. Instead of allowing Russian units to regroup and prepare another concentrated push, Ukrainian forces are now turning their attention toward the transport routes, ammunition flows, and rear positions keeping those assaults supplied. The battle around Orikhiv is therefore shifting from emergency stabilization toward systematically weakening the Russian offensive before it can rebuild momentum.

The main target of this campaign is the transport network connecting Russian rear areas around Polohy with the fighting near Orikhiv. Ukrainian aircraft carried out four airstrikes against bridges across the Konka River near Inzhenerne and Polohy, crossings used to move personnel, ammunition, and heavy equipment toward the front. Cutting these routes restricts heavier vehicles and forces supplies onto fewer remaining approaches, with the Seventh Air Assault Corps reporting that Russian troops have already increased their use of motorcycles as access deteriorated. Russian reconnaissance footage shows Ukrainian forces blowing up the bridge between Inzhenerne and Novokarlivka on the Orikhiv–Polohy road. The crossing appears to have been prepared with explosives, and its destruction cuts another route toward Orikhiv.  Elsewhere, FPV operators from the Sixty Fifth Ronin unit destroyed a Russian vehicle transporting BM Twenty One Grad rockets toward the fighting. Farther south, Hungry Falcons operators used fiber optic FPV drones between Orikhiv and Tokmak to strike Russian personnel, communications equipment, and logistics behind the frontline. Separate footage from Ilchenkove shows one of these drones damaging a Russian Tigr M infantry mobility vehicle.

The pressure on Russian logistics now has to translate into pushing Russian forces away from Orikhiv itself. Even with the frontline stabilized, continued Russian assault and infiltration activity through the city leaves Russia in position to keep tightening pressure from multiple directions. A half encirclement around Orikhiv gives Russian forces more approaches toward the city while placing greater strain on the Ukrainian roads and supply routes needed to sustain its defense. Leaving that position intact also gives Russia a prepared starting point for another offensive once fresh troops, ammunition, and equipment are brought forward. Ukraine is trying to make those forward positions harder to reinforce, giving Russian forces less ability to use them as a base for further attacks and giving Ukraine a better chance to push them back. The more those supply lines are disrupted, the harder it becomes for Russian troops to hold their ground around Orikhiv, giving Ukraine a better chance to push them back from the city.

Overall, the next stage around Orikhiv will be decided by whether Ukraine can turn Russian supply problems into a permanent loss of ground around the city. As crossings disappear and rear routes come under constant attack, Russia will have to move supplies over longer, more exposed approaches, forcing more vehicles and troops into areas already covered by Ukrainian drones. That pressure will slow every attempt to rebuild the assault force around Orikhiv while giving Ukraine more time to prepare the next local counterattacks.

Things are just getting started in the east

Operation Vivaldi is off and running and today, we’re talking with a member of the Ukrainian 3rd Army Corps to get an idea of what we’re seeing and maybe more importantly, how much is still yet to be released.

SGT John "Jackie" Roberts is an American veteran who has been fighting in Ukraine since 2022. He now serves as a Senior American Military Instructor the 3rd Army Corps who is leading this current offensive in the east.

We get into why this area is so important to warrant an operation of this scale, some of the brand new tactics deployed and what to watch for in the coming months.

«دیگه آروم نمی‌شم من» نسخه‌ای تازه از ترانه "کاش میشد ببینمت" در سبک بلوز است؛ ترانه‌ای دربارهٔ دلتنگی، جدایی و عشقی که با گذشت زمان هنوز در قلب زنده مانده است.
این شعر و ترانه را خودم، رامتین هنرمندان، نوشته‌ام. نسخهٔ قبلی این اثر با فضایی جاز و صدای زن منتشر شده بود؛ اما در این اجرا، ترانه با تنظیمی بلوز، فضایی تاریک‌تر و صدایی مردانه، بم، خسته و زخمی بازآفرینی شده است تا درد و تنهایی موجود در کلمات، عمیق‌تر شنیده شود.
گاهی یک دلتنگی آن‌قدر بزرگ می‌شود که مثل کوهی روی قلب می‌ماند؛ نه می‌توان فراموشش کرد و نه می‌توان دوباره آرام شد:
«توو دلم یه کوه درده
پُر اشک و آه سرده
دیگه آروم نمی‌شم من
غم تو با من چه کرده…»

I examine Sergei Lavrov’s claim that European rearmament is provoking Russia, even as Moscow sustains its war against Ukraine and reportedly plans major spending on jet-powered drones and loitering munitions. The strategic issue is not whether NATO should react impulsively to every Russian action; it is whether repeated drone incursions, aggressive flight paths, and hybrid operations can gradually raise the threshold for an allied response. The Institute for the Study of War warns that such normalization could create tactical surprise.

I also cover the reported major security incident near RAF Fairford, Germany’s allegations of Russian hybrid activity, and Putin’s renewed rhetoric about Russian speakers in the Baltic states. Ukraine is testing interceptor drones while Poland has offered to host Patriot missile production. I assess Moscow’s political warfare aimed at Germany and France, including messaging around Nord Stream and the online “Russia is not my enemy” campaign—and why European unity remains a central strategic target.

00:00 Ukraine negotiations and the drone war
01:42 North Korean POWs and South Korea’s concerns
03:38 Lavrov’s warning on European rearmament
05:40 Hybrid pressure and NATO’s response threshold
07:50 RAF Fairford security incident
11:25 Patriot production, Nord Stream, and Russian messaging
13:25 Starlink, the Trump-Xi summit, and leadership
16:02 US midterms and the debate over Russia
18:05 Why the “Russia is not my enemy” campaign matters

These would cause absolute chaos

So now we’ve got Ukrainian robots being dropped off behind the front lines, firing rockets into where the Russians are hiding, then, once they’re suppressed, driving in and blowing up. That’s a bad day and a pretty wild new use of drones in the Ukraine war.

We’re seeing new tactics and techniques like this on a daily basis from Ukraine’s 3rd Army Corps as they continue pushing in the east during Operation Vivaldi. In fact, today we have the Russian perspective on how their mistakes led to this Ukrainian advance and how the chaos is spreading to other sectors of the front.
