AND IT'S NOT JUST ONE LITTLE IT'S MANY, DIFFERENT THINGS THAT ARE NOW STARTING TO OVERLAP TO SHOWCASE A LARGER PICTURE THAT RUSSIA IS CLEARLY GETTING READY AND YOU CAN OPEN SOURCE INTELLIGENCE AND MOST RECENT REPORTING FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS OF THESE INDICATORS. STARTING OFF WITH RUSSIA TRIPLING THEIR PRODUCTION OF CREWS AND BALLISTIC MISSILES. ACCORDING TO UKRAINIAN INTELLIGENCE IT COULD BE UP TO 1300 MISSILES EVERY SINGLE YEAR. DATA INDICATE THAT RUSSIA'S PLANNING TO DO A MASSIVE STRIKE ON CAPITAL OF UKRAINE. SINCE THEY'RE KINDA HOLDING BACK HOW MANY OF THEY ARE FIRING, WHICH MEANS PROBABLY LUMPING TOGETHER FOR ONE LARGE ATTACK. INTELLIGENCE REPORT, INCLUDING SOME KREMLIN MEMBERS WHO WERE LEFT UNNAMED, ARE INDICATING THAT A MASSIVE MOBILIZATION FOR UP TO 300,000 RUSSIANS ONCE THE ELECTIONS INSIDE OF RUSSIA ARE OVER. WE'RE ALSO SEEING A LARGER UPTAKE IN RUSSIA'S HYBRID OR THOSE ARE THE DO INSIDE OF NATO COUNTRIES. TO BURN DOWN DRONE FACTORIES OR SENDING DRONES TOWARDS UKRAINIAN AIRCRAFT OR VIOLATING NATO AIRSPACE. THINGS RECENTLY HAVE GOTTEN WAY MORE AGGRESSIVE. NOW THAT ALL LEADS US TO TODAY. WE SAW THE CIA DIRECTOR MAKE HIS WAY ALL TO MOSCOW. WE SAW THIS HAPPEN, IT WAS ALL IN 2021, WHERE BIDEN THEN SENT THE CIA DIRECTOR ALL THE WAY OUT TO RUSSIA TO WARN RUSSIA NOT TO INVADE UKRAINE. WHEN IT COMES I. DIRECTOR NOW, JOHN RADCLIFFE, WE'RE ANY INFORMATION FROM WHAT'S GOING ON TRUMP DID MENTION A LITTLE BIT SOMETHING WORKS OUT, COULD SPECULATE THAT RADCLIFFE DID GO OUT THERE TO WARN RUSSIA SOMETHING ELSE. WHAT IS THAT OTHER THING? WE DON'T KNOW YET. WE'VE GOT TWO NEW REPORTINGS. FROM BELARUS, DICTATOR LUKASHENKO HAS ANNOUNCED THAT DOING A SURPRISE MILITARY READINESS CHECK. SOMETHING THAT IS HONESTLY OUT OF THE BLUE. NO ONE EXPECTED BUT IF RUSSIA DO SOME KIND OF MILITARY ESCALATION, THE HELP OF BELARUS TO EITHER CARRY THINGS THROUGH OR TO PROTECT AND THEN YOU'VE THE WALL STREET JOURNAL AND BLOOMBERG THAT IT LOOKS LIKE MOSCOW FEELS THAT NEGOTIATIONS WITH UKRAINE UNITED STATES, AND EUROPE HAVE COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE NEXT STEP BE SOME KIND OF ESCALATION. LET'S ALSO REMEMBER THAT ALL OF THIS IS COMING, SAW NATO, FOR FOUR DAYS IN DO SOME DRILLS TOWARDS THE BALTIC SEA, WHICH INDICATED THAT MAYBE NATO WAS TRYING TO STRETCH SHOW RUSSIA, IF YOU TRY ANYTHING, WE ARE KINDA READY TO GO. BUT RIGHT NOW US TO THIS WEIRD PERIOD IN WHICH IT SEEMS LIKE INDICATORS ARE POINTING GETTING READY TO DO A MAJOR ESCALATION. BUT TO THE EXTENT WE HONESTLY DON'T KNOW AT

I'm not trying to alarm anyone, but there's a lot of indicators that Russia's getting ready to escalate things. Since in their mind, diplomacy has officially failed. And it's not just one little event that happened. It's many, different things that are now starting to overlap to showcase a larger picture that Russia is clearly getting ready and you can open source intelligence and most recent reporting for the past few weeks of these indicators. Starting off with Russia tripling their production of cruise and ballistic missiles. According to Ukrainian intelligence, it could be up to 1300 missiles every single year. Data indicate that Russia's planning to do a massive strike on Kiev, the capital of Ukraine. Since they're kinda holding back how many of they are firing, which means probably lumping together for one large attack. Intelligence report, including some Kremlin members who were left unnamed, are indicating that a massive mobilization for up to 300,000 Russians once the elections inside of Russia are over. We're also seeing a larger uptake in Russia's hybrid or those are the attacks that they do inside of NATO countries. To burn down drone factories or sending drones towards Ukrainian aircraft or violating NATO airspace. Things recently have gotten way more aggressive. Now that all leads us to today. We saw the CIA director make his way all the way out to Moscow. We saw this happen, it was all the way back in 2021, where Biden then sent the CIA director all the way out to Russia to warn Russia not to invade Ukraine. When it comes to the CIA director now, John Radcliffe, we're not getting really any information from what's going on. Trump did mention a little bit, something works out, could speculate that Radcliffe did go out there to warn Russia something else. What is that other thing? We don't know yet. We've got two new reportings. One that comes from Belarus, dictator Lukashenko has announced that they're going to be doing a surprise military readiness check. Something that is honestly out of the blue. No one expected. But if Russia do some kind of military escalation, they would need the help of Belarus to either carry things through or to protect Russia. And then you've got the Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg all pointing out that it looks like Moscow feels that negotiations with Ukraine, the United States, and Europe have come to a complete stop. Well, the next step would be some kind of escalation. Let's also remember that all of this is coming. We saw NATO for four days in a row do some drills towards the Baltic Sea, which indicated that maybe NATO was trying to stretch, show Russia, hey, look, if you try anything, we are kinda ready to go. But right now, this all brings us to this weird period in which it seems like indicators are pointing, getting ready to do a major escalation. But to the extent we honestly don't know at
