The Collective Security Treaty Organization has weakened, Moscow’s authority in the South Caucasus has been damaged, and Armenia has moved away from its old security dependence. Meanwhile, Belarus has been pulled deeper into Russian military planning and nuclear signaling. China, Iran and North Korea now sustain Russia with technology, drones, ammunition, missiles and manpower, while Africa Corps has brought much of Wagner’s former network under direct Kremlin control. This episode examines how Moscow replaced a broad sphere of influence with a smaller, more militarized and transactional wartime system.
