also need to be worried about our 49 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:37,500 own missile defense. There's no doubt that the Israeli missile defense, oh geez, they got the 50 00:05:37,500 --> 00:05:42,660 Iron Dome. Yeah, it's a great name. You get to hear all along, but that thing failed miserably. 51 00:05:43,410 --> 00:05:53,120 And the data from that is not good. But nobody's talking about it because they don't want you 52 00:05:53,120 --> 00:06:01,480 talking about it. And so they do not talk about it at all. They don't want you to know that the 53 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:07,740 Patriot really isn't what they claim it is. But it is the best that they have. Now the Russians have 54 00:06:07,740 --> 00:06:16,740 the SS-400 and the other stuff for their missile capabilities. Those are pretty accurate. But the 55 00:06:16,740 --> 00:06:29,640 war is changing to a drone war. That part is no doubt. The war has changed is the global point 56 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:44,140 of that. But over the weekend on the 18th, the attack of the Ukrainians, they attacked basically 57 00:06:44,860 --> 00:06:51,880 an Amazon plant in Russia. I've told you about this before. I know I have. There's a 58 00:06:54,340 --> 00:07:01,880 shipping, receiving company. They do the same things that we do. They buy things online. 59 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:09,080 And the biggest supplier of all things in Russia is a company called Wild Berries. 60 00:07:09,820 --> 00:07:16,100 And you see Wild Berries everywhere. And they have Wild Berries on their phone. I downloaded the app 61 00:07:16,100 --> 00:07:21,240 when I was in Russia just to check it out because you can do it anywhere and you can download it 62 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:27,160 and it arrives. The difference is Russians actually get out of their houses. We don't. 63 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:33,240 We don't go anywhere. They walk a lot of places. There's always people walking somewhere. And here 64 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:39,820 in America, that's a rarity. We get out, we get in our car, we drive to the store. They don't. 65 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:44,060 They get out, they walk to the store and they walk and they pick up fresh veggies and they do it 66 00:07:44,060 --> 00:07:49,080 basically every day. So you go down, if you're going to make a salad, you don't buy it two days 67 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:55,440 in advance. You buy it on the day and there's all people. There's a lot of outside of markets 68 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,760 and stuff. There's a lot of the farmers and the people will bring in their own goods and you can 69 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:05,740 buy them on the street. I mean, I personally like it. It's kind of like our farmer's market. There's 70 00:08:05,740 --> 00:08:14,820 one down here that's not too far away that I like to wander into and see if there's any fresh 71 00:08:14,820 --> 00:08:21,080 veggies. I like doing that. Well, Russians do that all the time and on their way to the market or on 72 00:08:21,080 -->

00:08:26,400 their way to buy, I don't know, whatever. They don't buy things in large quantities like we do. 73 00:08:26,460 --> 00:08:31,659 It's just not regular. They don't do it. It's very, you don't see people do that. They'll walk 74 00:08:31,659 --> 00:08:37,100 out with a mini sack, but they do it every day. So it's a different thought process and they get out 75 00:08:37,100 --> 00:08:42,960 and they see people and they chat and they do stuff like that. And it's always, now I got to 76 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:49,780 admit most of that has been in larger cities is where I've been and that in larger cities here in 77 00:08:49,780 --> 00:08:55,500 America, I'm sure is more prevalent as well that they do it. But I like that way of life. I've often 78 00:08:55,500 --> 00:09:03,360 thought about living in a medium sized small city or a large one. Moscow, I particularly like and 79 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:10,960 everything's available in Moscow and they have a great subway system and very clean, very safe and 80 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:18,540 they should take great pride in Moscow. And I'm going to go to St. Petersburg this year and I hear 81 00:09:18,540 --> 00:09:25,960 similar items, but even the smaller cities are generally clean, safe. Anyway, 82 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:31,140 Wild Berries is everywhere. So they'll have a little store somewhere and the store will be, 83 00:09:31,540 --> 00:09:36,960 you know, here's a Wild Berries drop off point and they bring like instead of Amazon going out 84 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:42,300 to everybody's houses, they go to the local place and they drop it off in a local point. 85 00:09:42,500 --> 00:09:47,100 And at the local point, people come and they pick it up instead of coming to their apartment, 86 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:52,020 wandering upstairs, you know, that's a, that's a, they're very protective over there and their 87 00:09:52,020 --> 00:09:56,620 ways into the apartments are severely blocked off. And I assume that's everywhere in these. 88 00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:01,300 And then, you know, you don't just get to wander around in other people's apartments. Anyway, 89 00:10:01,300 --> 00:10:09,100 Wild Berries, the Ukrainians attacked. And so the event is a coordinated Ukrainian drone attack on 90 00:10:09,100 --> 00:10:16,500 two major Wild Berries logistic centers on Saturday, July the 18th. And that's in Kutovsk 91 00:10:16,500 --> 00:10:24,060 and Tembov, about 360 kilometers from the Ukrainian border. And then Electrostal is 92 00:10:24,060 --> 00:10:30,740 the second one. And that's about 50 miles east of Moscow. So these two warehouses are ordinary, 93 00:10:30,740 --> 00:10:37,100 large-scale retail distribution centers belonging to Russia's largest online marketplace. 94 00:10:37,900 --> 00:10:44,980 On the evidence, you know, so far available, Ukraine says they had a military logistics 95 00:10:44,980 --> 00:10:53,140 function. I call BS on that. They do not have a military logistics function. And that is 96 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:59,440 personal. I mean, they're shipping clothes. You go by, if somebody, if you buy a stroller, 97 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:04,980 you don't go down the street and go to the local Walmart and buy a stroller. You buy it online, 98 00:11:05,100 --> 00:11:10,980 it's delivered to Wild Berries, and you go pick it up. You know, they don't, pots and pans, you 99 00:11:10,980 --> 00:11:16,420 know, same thing. The larger items you buy, you're not going to the store to buy that stuff. You buy 100 00:11:16,420 --> 00:11:24,240 it online, just like we do here. And so it's a, yeah, like, assume that they are the equivalent 101 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:31,700 as Amazon, because they are. And then assume how much Amazon is using as a distribution point for 102 00:11:31,700 --> 00:11:36,820 the military. You know, how would that be? If there was a war going on here in the United States, 103 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:43,000 would it be, you know, would Amazon switch to military function and ship stuff around? 104 00:11:44,180 --> 00:11:49,260 I don't think so. Not to the level that they're trying to claim. Is there something that maybe 105 00:11:49,260 --> 00:11:55,420 some part somewhere, so you blow up a plant, kill how many people? They killed like eight 106 00:11:55,840 --> 00:12:05,600 in the plant, because the plant's 24-7. And so it needs to be, they say they had these 107 00:12:06,220 --> 00:12:14,060 military logistics functions, but nobody anywhere has provided any independent documentation 108 00:12:14,060 --> 00:12:21,320 that it's even remotely accurate, okay, that they were predominantly for military purposes 109 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:29,400 or military installations. And so that, you know, is crap. But the Ukrainians are, you know, 110 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:36,700 forever lying anyway. So about what they hit, you know, and they want, the difference is, 111 00:12:36,860 --> 00:12:43,880 they don't want the Russian military to suffer. They want the Russian people to suffer. They 112 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:53,380 are still on the only way we win this war is kill Putin politically or physically. You know, 113 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:59,100 that is the only way they win the war, is kill him politically. And that's what they're trying 114 00:12:59,100 --> 00:13:04,580 to do, because there are big elections this fall in Russia as well. And they want all the 115 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:11,380 Politburo and all, well, it's not the Politburo anymore, but all of the House, you know, 116 00:13:11,380 --> 00:13:21,320 all of the legislative side, they want them to be not supportive of Putin in the war. They are 117 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:26,580 right now, and they want to try to change that. And so they change that by making the people 118 00:13:26,580 --> 00:13:33,620 suffer. So they're blowing up anything, they're far more civilian targets than military. And 119 00:13:33,620 --> 00:13:39,560 President Zelensky gets

up, the old Green Goblin stands up and defends the attack on these 120 00:13:39,560 --> 00:13:47,280 warehouses and says they supported Russia's military supply chain by distributing sanctioned 121 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:53,500 electronic components used in drones and navigation systems. And they portrayed it as 122 00:13:53,500 --> 00:14:00,560 retaliation. It's not retaliation. They always fire first for Ukrainian attacks on Ukraine's 123 00:14:00,560 --> 00:14:06,520 postal, commercial, and civilian infrastructure. So does the presence of these available electronics 124 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:14,900 somewhere inside a nationwide marketing warehouse make the entire warehouse and hundreds of civilian 125 00:14:14,900 --> 00:14:20,820 employees a lawful military target? A Wildberries warehouse, think of an Amazon warehouse, 126 00:14:20,940 --> 00:14:26,540 you can find them everywhere. A Wildberries warehouse has merchandise that belongs to 127 00:14:26,540 --> 00:14:32,500 thousands of independent sellers. Everybody sells through there. You make clothes somewhere, 128 00:14:32,500 --> 00:14:38,260 you sell them through Amazon or through Wildberries. You make toys, cosmetics, appliances, 129 00:14:38,500 --> 00:14:44,680 tools, electronics, strollers, consumer equipment, even assuming that some, they buy dryers and 130 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:52,660 frigging washers that way that they go and pick up. And it's a hell of a system. And it's, 131 00:14:53,660 --> 00:14:59,080 if there's any military, the percentage is tiny compared to everything else that's going on. So 132 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:04,400 blowing up two logistics plants for civilians, sure as hell ain't military objective. It's to 133 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:10,120 make the civilians suffer. And so, and I want to say this because this is the thinking process 134 00:15:10,980 --> 00:15:19,560 of the Ukrainians and they are brutal. I have something to share with you if the transcript 135 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:26,900 is finished for me. Let me have a look here and see, because it may be close. Yeah, I have the 136 00:15:26,900 --> 00:15:32,980 Russian version if I can find it. So during my break, I'll take it and I'll tell you about how 137 00:15:32,980 --> 00:15:38,480 Ukrainians think, because this in the Russian part, I mean, this is frigging brutal. And this 138 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:45,300 guy was on TV, but this is how they think. Okay. I've met a bunch of these type of people and then 139 00:15:45,300 --> 00:15:57,800 they, my God, I swallowed wrong. Anyway, they're scary people. And I wanted to give you a bit of 140 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:04,440 an example. Okay. Cause, uh, let's start with this. I don't, I don't watch scary movies. I don't like 141 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:10,280 them. I don't like to see the side of blood. I don't like to watch things, but 90% of the time 142 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:19,160 I can watch it because these scary, like monster movies, alien movies, uh,

it by Stephen King, 143 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:25,140 you know, whatever, any of those things, the scary part, I don't, I don't like being scared. 144 00:16:25,140 --> 00:16:29,720 You know, I don't like that kind of thing. I don't like the, uh, anticipation and the tenseness. 145 00:16:29,820 --> 00:16:36,580 I just don't get it. But then again, that when it finally happens, it'll be a scary, I jumped thing. 146 00:16:36,580 --> 00:16:46,800 But mentally for me, that isn't really scary because that crap is not real. Now suppose aliens 147 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:52,860 show up at your house one day, then we got a problem, you know, but I'm scared of real things. 148 00:16:52,860 --> 00:16:58,240 What are my fears? I hate snakes. I don't want to be near a snake. I don't want to be eaten by a 149 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:05,760 shark. You know, I don't alligators that day. I went to the, to the wonderful open, uh, park in 150 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:10,440 Florida. I forget what it's called, but I went by myself. And so I had been there on the weekends 151 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,940 and I happened to be driving by and it only costs five bucks and I went in, but it was the middle of 152 00:17:14,940 --> 00:17:20,200 the day or it might be seven bucks. I don't know whatever veteran discount I got. And then, uh, 153 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:27,140 but you go in and, uh, and nobody was there. And I went to the same place I went where there were, 154 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:32,640 you know, maybe 50 people the last time, because that had the most alligators. Okay. And I walked 155 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:37,740 down the thing under this little bridge overhang, you know, and there's nobody there, but me, 156 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:43,780 there's my truck parked up on top. And I walked down and I'm looking off to the side and, uh, 157 00:17:43,780 --> 00:17:50,880 under this bridge, all you see are about nine heads, uh, just the eyeball part poked up over 158 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:56,960 the thing. And there's a couple of huge ones on the bank and I am down there with them. 159 00:17:57,300 --> 00:18:05,780 And I'm like, you know, what, this is not the place to be now. That's scary. Okay. And I know 160 00:18:05,780 --> 00:18:10,920 it's a long, stupid Sam story, but that, that is frightening to me. You know, that'd be like 161 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:15,980 swimming 10 feet from a, uh, you know, a shark, you know, I'm going, Hey, uh, you know, please, 162 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:24,020 my legs, not dinner, you know, something like that. And, uh, so I, I backed away slowly ran 163 00:18:24,020 --> 00:18:29,240 my ass out of there as fast as I can get out of there. It's like, man, why did you come here alone? 164 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:34,960 You moron. And, uh, or, or why don't you just stay up and watch them from the bridge, from the safe 165 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:40,800 point. Those, I was like, Holy crap. I'm going to get chewed up. Then, uh, anyway, those

things 166 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:48,740 frighten me. Real things frighten me. And people who think like these Ukrainians think frightened 167 00:18:48,740 --> 00:18:59,060 me, they will kill and not think twice about it. And they are brutal in what they say and what they 168 00:18:59,060 --> 00:19:05,880 do. And if it happens to kill a couple hundred factory workers in a wild berries plant, yeah. 169 00:19:05,940 --> 00:19:14,060 Well, you know, that was a, uh, a necessary thing to kill those people. And they kind of glorify it. 170 00:19:14,260 --> 00:19:21,080 You know what I mean? They think, they think these type of attacks are legitimate, justified 171 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:25,880 everything about it. And you know, what are you questioning us for? Don't question us. You know, 172 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:33,360 people are pressuring them to quit attacking the, uh, civilian style infrastructure all over the 173 00:19:33,360 --> 00:19:38,920 place, except America, because we don't even know about it. And, uh, so they're doing these things. 174 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:46,580 And it is, uh, truly, truly frightening to me that people like this exist in the world. 175 00:19:46,620 --> 00:19:51,760 They will kill people and not think twice about it. The, the kill list to the meter toward its 176 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:57,680 list is real. You can get on there and check that out. And then people get paid to kill other 177 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:04,000 people and they do it publicly the story of the, uh, uh, I hope it's done. Let me see if it's 178 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:10,120 finished because I had it translated to English. Uh, it's not done. We could start with the Russian 179 00:20:10,120 --> 00:20:16,620 part about what they did, but, uh, I didn't have time to translate it on my own. Uh, you know what 180 00:20:16,620 --> 00:20:24,300 I'm going to do? I'm going to play a song number one for you and, uh, and, and get my, my on that 181 00:20:24,300 --> 00:20:29,140 particular topic, get my thoughts organized. Cause I, I can do it and I can do it pretty quickly. 182 00:20:29,500 --> 00:20:35,860 Um, but I need the words of this guy to share with you specifically what a pig this guy was. 183 00:20:36,460 --> 00:20:45,420 And, uh, uh, and Ukrainian guy interviewed in Poland and, uh, he, he's harsh and they all are, 184 00:20:45,420 --> 00:20:50,200 you know, I've met people like this. I met so many Ukrainians when I lived in Russia and Russia in, 185 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:55,560 uh, uh, Florida. Uh, well, I, you know, still have a place down there, but the, the, the Russian, 186 00:20:56,180 --> 00:20:59,580 uh, Ukrainian community, people aren't allowed to speak Russian first of all, 187 00:20:59,920 --> 00:21:04,080 or people get upset. There's Ukrainian churches everywhere. Ukrainians, everybody's suddenly a 188 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:08,800 Ukrainian, right? None of them are Russian because they, you know, but they don't speak Ukrainian. 189 00:21:09,300 --> 00:21:14,560 It's pretty funny. And, uh, but anyway, and if you go in and speak Russian to them, they get upset. 190 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:21,280 Anyway, then they're, they're frigging brutal. And, uh, uh, there's David, I forgot where I was 191 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:26,180 going with that, with the, with the, uh, Ukrainians down in that area that speak that way. And they 192 00:21:26,180 --> 00:21:32,860 just speak matter of fact, matter of fact about the killing. It's, it's, it's, it's not even an 193 00:21:32,860 --> 00:21:38,020 issue. Well, why are you questioning? In other words, don't, don't, don't question us. It's 194 00:21:38,020 --> 00:21:44,980 we, you know, sorry, we have to do it. Well, you think Ukrainians are alone in that? You're not. 195 00:21:45,740 --> 00:21:49,980 I mean, you're not right. The, uh, Russians think that way too, to some extent, 196 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:55,060 you know, and, and, and, and as do many, many harsh, you know, they're harsh people in America 197 00:21:55,060 --> 00:21:59,940 too. Don't, don't, don't screw with me. And, and, but I don't believe we're accepting money to kill 198 00:21:59,940 --> 00:22:06,520 people like, uh, was going on in Russia. You know, the, the girl who went to, uh, Monaco or Morocco 199 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:11,640 or wherever she went, I think it was Monaco and killed, um, killed that oligarch, blew him up, 200 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:18,000 just put a bomb in another country, 200,000 bucks. And then somebody came, they, she came back, 201 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:24,760 somebody paid $50,000 to have her killed. That's it. That's, that's how you, how Ukrainians think. 202 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:30,780 Okay. They don't screw around with each other because they know that ultimately if you do 203 00:22:30,780 --> 00:22:35,180 some asshole is going to kill you. Some asshole is going to pay somebody else to kill you. 204 00:22:35,180 --> 00:22:40,020 And then they don't think twice about it. They're going, well, you know, you pissed him off. 205 00:22:40,940 --> 00:22:46,940 Did you know that in Russia, the penalty for murder is less than the penalty for drugs for murder. 206 00:22:47,060 --> 00:22:52,340 You go six, seven years, seven years in Ukraine too, by the way. And, uh, uh, but if you're 207 00:22:52,340 --> 00:22:57,300 convicted of drug use, you know, that's a drug distribution, stuff like that. You can go in for 208 00:22:57,300 --> 00:23:05,160 20 to 30 years. But the typical for a murder is, you know, Hey, the guy was upset. He killed 209 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:10,780 somebody. It's like, Holy crap. Really? You stole that man's life. Why don't they steal yours? 210 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:16,080 They don't believe in death penalty, you know? And, uh, you know, it's a, there's plenty to 211 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:21,600 talk about on that side. And I'm, you know, going too far from, from astray from where I intended to 212 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:27,280

go, but you know, I'm going to do, I'm going to play a, a, a riff for you. Something I like 213 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:34,840 to listen to. And, uh, I'm going to give you this, this is a Vivo and, uh, 214 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:41,640 Memify. Uh, it's a cool song. Um, let's see. Hopefully you will enjoy. I did. 215 00:24:15,120 --> 00:24:26,580 No one's there at all. Your sweater still hangs by the door. Like you're coming home once more. 216 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:35,620 I know you're gone. I know it's true, but every road leads back to you. 217 00:24:36,580 --> 00:24:47,280 The world keeps turning without us, but my heart is still where it was. I'm missing you forever. 218 00:24:48,440 --> 00:25:00,980 No matter how time flies. You're the tear I'll never cry. The truth behind my eyes. 219 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:18,580 I'm missing you forever. Like the moon misses the sun. Some stories never really end. Even when they're done. 220 00:25:35,820 --> 00:25:52,700 I read the letters that we wrote. Every word still gives me hope. Though I know there's no return. My heart still has to learn. 221 00:25:53,660 --> 00:26:10,860 The seasons changed a thousand times, but you still live inside my mind. Every sunrise, every rain brings your name again. 222 00:26:12,260 --> 00:26:28,940 Maybe one day you'll smile again. Without pretending now and then. But some love stay beneath the skin. Long after they have been. 223 00:26:30,500 --> 00:26:47,260 I'm missing you forever, but I won't ask you to stay. I'll carry all the love we had, as I find another way. 224 00:26:47,260 --> 00:27:05,100 I'm missing you forever. Yeah, I'll keep moving through. Because a part of me will always be in love with you. 225 00:27:05,100 --> 00:27:20,860 Forever gone. Forever true. Forever missing you. 226 00:27:40,100 --> 00:27:58,980 I like that. Good stuff. Okay. Let's see. I was successful in what I was trying to do here. And I wanted to, because this is why I watch it. Okay. Americans, we never get any, we don't get the other side of the news. We don't get the other side of the commentary. We don't get anything. 227 00:27:58,980 --> 00:28:12,140 Because nobody speaks a different language. In most countries, they speak different languages. You go somewhere in hell, a lot of people speak English. I want to practice my English with you, but I want to practice my Russian with them. 228 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:28,140 I wish I spoke more languages. My wife speaks five of them, and it's awesome to have her in Turkey. She speaks Arabic. She can get by with all of the basics, and everybody understands her, and they love the fact that she does it. 229 00:28:28,140 --> 00:28:40,580 But Turkish, she's fluent. She speaks Tatar, and so Tatar means she can speak some of the Bashkiri languages over there. There's so many of them, it's crazy. 230 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:51,640 So in order to live, they have to learn other languages. And in America, we're like, speak English! Get rid of that foreign stuff. We don't want to hear it. 231 00:28:51,640 --> 00:29:08,240 Anyway, so I like to share some of the construction. And so I watch Solovyov. Now this is actually pre-Wildberries 2. So Solovyov is definitely throttled on YouTube, so it's hard to find the video. 232 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:23,160 I used to be able to watch it on Smotrim with a VPN all the time, but now it's no longer there. They only do the weekly show, and so it's a bit of a pain in the rear end, but it's hard to get. 233 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:35,580 But I'm telling you, people listen to this. The older generation, for sure, are Solovyov, and they watch the Solovyov. And so this is in the format. I've told you before I love the format. 234 00:29:35,740 --> 00:29:46,260 I'm going to share with you the opening of this show where he was talking about this, and this was mainly on the death that I was talking about of that Ukrainian lady before. 235 00:29:46,260 --> 00:30:02,880 And this is the opener of his show, and I'm going to share it with you. Vladimir Solovyov. Something caught my attention, and the translations are always kind of iffy, but I got the service that I use. 236 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:14,660 I told that I wanted the speech to flow, so it's not an exact word-for-word translation, but it's extremely hard to do that with a technical text anyway. 237 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:25,360 But all of the main functions and things go, so this is a very accurate translation anyway, because I took time to read it whilst I put that beautiful song in your ears. 238 00:30:26,740 --> 00:30:33,570 So, he said, something caught my attention today, an extraordinary mantra by Marta Kos, one of the European commissioners. 239 00:30:34,220 --> 00:30:39,800 It is truly a mantra. I want you to hear it, and then we'll carefully take it apart with our friends. 240 00:30:40,100 --> 00:30:44,240 And he's got the six guys standing around ready to, you know, the political logs. 241 00:30:44,420 --> 00:30:47,980 And here's what she said, and she did say this. I listened to it. 242 00:30:47,980 --> 00:30:57,680 This is not simply a war over territory. This is a war over Ukraine's right to determine its own future as a sovereign state. 243 00:30:58,140 --> 00:31:05,900 A state that chose democracy, Europe, and the path toward membership in the European Union. 244 00:31:06,140 --> 00:31:11,300 It is precisely this choice that Moscow refuses to accept. 245 00:31:11,300 --> 00:31:13,780 That's what she said on the floor of the EU. 246 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:20,780 And Solovyov says, this is why I like watching him, he goes, every word of that is a lie. 247 00:31:21,100 --> 00:31:30,960 And a lie, you can say a lie is a losh, that's a bad word, but he called it vranyo, and vranyo is crap, is rubbish. 248 00:31:31,500 --> 00:31:36,140 It's a far more harsh word than just a losh, a lie. 249 00:31:36,140 --> 00:31:43,100 And so sometimes you definitely miss the context in translation, and that's why

I like listening to the guy. 250 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:47,880 He goes, every word of it is crap. That would be the equivalent, right? 251 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,800 And he explains it, and he's right, by the way. 252 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:57,140 He goes, first, Moscow is profoundly indifferent to whether Ukraine joins the European Union. 253 00:31:57,300 --> 00:32:00,600 And that's true. Putin has said it repeatedly. 254 00:32:00,860 --> 00:32:03,840 You want to join the EU? Great. You're not joining NATO. 255 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:07,440 And no weapons will be over there. We don't give a crap if you join the EU. 256 00:32:07,580 --> 00:32:14,120 He's never had any problem with that. Other people have, but Putin's been pretty straightforward on that. 257 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:18,760 We have said repeatedly that we have no objection to Ukraine entering the European Union. 258 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:20,300 This is Solovyov again. 259 00:32:20,380 --> 00:32:25,880 In fact, I personally insist that Ukraine should be admitted to the European Union immediately. 260 00:32:26,340 --> 00:32:32,760 Our issue concerns NATO, and NATO alone. Ukraine's entry into NATO is unacceptable to us. 261 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:37,260 Second, this conflict was never fundamentally about territory. 262 00:32:37,420 --> 00:32:42,680 It was always about the will of the people living on historically Russian land. 263 00:32:42,980 --> 00:32:44,940 It's absolutely true. 264 00:32:45,460 --> 00:32:47,540 We've been lied to over here forever. 265 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:52,640 Russians want to take over the world. Grab your nuclear weapons and get in a bunker. 266 00:32:53,300 --> 00:32:57,820 He said so. Martakos is lying about that as well. 267 00:32:57,940 --> 00:33:02,320 And they've been lying about it in the West for the entire period of the war. 268 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,020 They've been lying about it for longer and longer, all the way back to 2014. 269 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:10,580 And she apparently does not understand what kind of Ukraine she is describing. 270 00:33:11,260 --> 00:33:15,820 What relationship do freedom and democracy have in contemporary Ukraine? 271 00:33:16,380 --> 00:33:17,720 None whatsoever. 272 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:21,440 And I agree with him completely there, because there is none. 273 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:25,640 There's no democracy, and there's no freedom. Not in Ukraine. 274 00:33:26,300 --> 00:33:30,840 No way. You get killed for money over there. Everybody's corrupt. 275 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,400 It's all about sucking up to the proper power. 276 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,820 And that power channel is now funded by the West. 277 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,600 Wholly. And that's where the money's coming from. 278 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:46,840 So you better talk to the people who get the Western money. Period. 279 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:49,580 He said, today, during the NATO gathering... 280 00:33:49,580 --> 00:33:53,520 This

is actually the one from when they had the weekend. This is the last week's show. 281 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:59,000 Today, during the NATO gathering, Zelensky appeared before a Congress of weapon manufacturers. 282 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:03,060 He stood at a podium marked with NATO symbols and delivered his speech. 283 00:34:03,340 --> 00:34:07,300 This illegitimate terrorist, this scoundrel, this degenerate 284 00:34:07,300 --> 00:34:11,659 began loudly talking about how many Russians had been killed. 285 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:14,800 And he really did. He was talking about, 286 00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,420 we killed a bunch of them, and we're bombing the crap out of them. 287 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:22,520 And his only positive was that they were bombing and droning Russia. 288 00:34:22,639 --> 00:34:24,620 That's it. They're not winning the war. They're losing. 289 00:34:24,620 --> 00:34:28,699 So Solovyov continues, I have a proposal. 290 00:34:29,679 --> 00:34:32,260 Ukraine is refusing to take back the bodies 291 00:34:32,460 --> 00:34:36,460 of its soldiers at Konstantinovka. I shared that story with you last week. 292 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:40,280 Let us decide which NATO country embassy in Moscow 293 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:44,380 should receive the bodies. If those countries 294 00:34:44,380 --> 00:34:48,080 openly stand behind Ukraine, boast about Russian losses, 295 00:34:48,260 --> 00:34:52,020 and continue supplying Ukraine with weapons, 296 00:34:52,020 --> 00:34:54,699 then they are participants in the conflict. 297 00:34:55,400 --> 00:35:00,220 Now, that particular exchange, Russia had some 7,000 298 00:35:00,220 --> 00:35:03,800 or something bodies from Konstantinovka 299 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:07,140 that they wanted to give back to Ukraine, and Ukraine had 300 00:35:07,140 --> 00:35:11,660 51 or 39, something like that, way under 100, 301 00:35:12,240 --> 00:35:14,540 that they were going to return to Russia. 302 00:35:15,380 --> 00:35:18,840 And then they refused the bodies. Ukraine always refuses the bodies, 303 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:22,660 because as soon as they take the bodies, they have to acknowledge the deaths of the people 304 00:35:22,660 --> 00:35:25,660 that they're returning, and it costs them 300,000, 305 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:30,580 by one of the estimates that I read, 300,000 bucks 306 00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:35,000 per, and that's in dollars, by the way, 307 00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:38,540 for a death payment to the family. And they don't want to pay it. 308 00:35:38,820 --> 00:35:42,760 And they're not paying it. And if they leave the bodies in Russia, then they don't have to pay it. 309 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:46,880 So these are real issues, right? And if these 310 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:50,860 countries, oh, I already read that, Macron himself has said 311 00:35:50,860 --> 00:35:54,740 that Europe is a party to the conflict. The Germans say they will not allow 312 00:35:54,740 --> 00:35:58,720 Ukraine to be defeated, yet Ukraine doesn't even collect the bodies of the 313 00:35:58,720 --> 00:36:02,020 soldiers that the European Union sent to their deaths. 314 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:06,460 Bring in the journalists, put the transfer on camera. 315 00:36:06,700 --> 00:36:10,760 Let everyone see the reality behind the Green Goblin, behind 316 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:14,700 the Z-Monster's assertion that Ukraine isn't losing. If Ukraine 317 00:36:14,700 --> 00:36:18,460 does not want to collect its dead, then let the European Union 318 00:36:18,460 --> 00:36:22,420 collect them. The European Union is in practice fighting Russia through 319 00:36:22,420 --> 00:36:26,480 NATO anyway. If the European Union still maintains a 320 00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:30,820 representation in Moscow, if it has not yet been expelled, then perhaps 321 00:36:30,820 --> 00:36:34,780 the bodies should be delivered there. Invite the Ukrainian 322 00:36:34,780 --> 00:36:38,520 families as well. Let them identify their relatives, recover their 323 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:42,140 remains, and bury them in a Christian manner. Is that harsh? 324 00:36:42,140 --> 00:36:45,840 Was it not harsh when they killed our women and children? 325 00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:50,120 Was it not harsh when Ukrainian terrorists hunted them and 326 00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:54,160 were awarded points for killing them? He's talking about Miro Tvorets. 327 00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:58,260 So there are several questions that must be asked after 328 00:36:58,260 --> 00:37:02,400 Zelensky's performance and after the latest attack on our territory. 329 00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:06,480 What was the name of the place that exploded during the night? 330 00:37:07,740 --> 00:37:10,000 Vyshnevoye. I therefore have three words, 331 00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,920 three questions for Zelensky. Konstantinovka, 332 00:37:14,180 --> 00:37:18,200 Vyshnevoye, and Monaco. Konstantinovka has been taken. 333 00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:22,200 Vyshnevoye demonstrated clearly what Russia is capable 334 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,860 of doing and showed that underground installations will not 335 00:37:25,860 --> 00:37:29,740 protect the Ukrainians. Let Zelensky tell us how many 336 00:37:29,740 --> 00:37:34,480 civilians were killed in Vyshnevoye 337 00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:38,080 because Ukrainian arsenals and military production had 338 00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:42,400 been placed in a residential neighborhood. And then there is Monaco. 339 00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:46,020 That is a question for the Europeans. Did they 340 00:37:46,020 --> 00:37:50,260 fail to notice that a political assassination occurred 341 00:37:50,260 --> 00:37:53,820 on the territory of Monaco? Why have Ukrainian 342 00:37:53,820 --> 00:37:58,140 ambassadors not been expelled from France? Everybody knows this by 343 00:37:58,140 --> 00:38:02,080 the way. Why have sanctions not been introduced? Everybody knows it was a 344 00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:06,120 hit and everybody knows the

details about the hit and nobody's doing 345 00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:09,840 the damn thing about it. Oh, well, that's Ukrainian, right? It's 346 00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:13,960 international freaking. Where's everybody? How come nobody's 347 00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:18,200 bitching? I mean, this is legitimate points, right? And he says 348 00:38:19,860 --> 00:38:21,960 why have Ukrainian ambassadors not been 349 00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:25,740 expelled from France? Why have sanctions not been introduced? There was an attempted 350 00:38:25,740 --> 00:38:29,880 political assassination of a citizen of the European Union in Monaco. 351 00:38:30,140 --> 00:38:34,020 The man who was targeted, businessman Yermolayev, is not 352 00:38:34,020 --> 00:38:38,080 merely Ukrainian. He's a citizen of Cyprus and Cyprus 353 00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:41,740 has not revoked his citizenship. Therefore, the European 354 00:38:41,740 --> 00:38:45,780 Union has demonstrated that it will not protect even its own citizens. 355 00:38:46,020 --> 00:38:50,160 Now we are watching clumsy attempts to cover the tracks of this 356 00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:53,900 event. Near Kiev, authorities found the body 357 00:38:53,900 --> 00:38:57,820 of a woman named Berezovskaya and she was suspected 358 00:38:57,820 --> 00:39:02,460 of participating in the attempted assassination of Yermolayev 359 00:39:02,460 --> 00:39:06,560 in Monaco. She was killed for a small amount of money, practically 360 00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:10,460 nothing. According to reports being circulated, approximately 361 00:39:10,460 --> 00:39:14,580 200,000 euro had been allocated for the whole 362 00:39:14,580 --> 00:39:18,420 operation. Around 150,000 was taken by the 363 00:39:19,100 --> 00:39:22,240 organizers or principal operatives. Only about 364 00:39:22,240 --> 00:39:25,760 8,000 of it reached Berezovskaya, along with 365 00:39:26,460 --> 00:39:29,760 approximately 5,000 more euros for travel. 366 00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:33,700 The remainder was taken by two men involved in the operation. 367 00:39:33,980 --> 00:39:37,580 One was an active employee of the Ukrainian military intelligence. 368 00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:41,900 The other was a law enforcement officer, former, in whose basement 369 00:39:41,900 --> 00:39:45,980 investigators discovered a torture room. Berezovskaya 370 00:39:45,980 --> 00:39:49,800 was killed with a shot to the back of the head. We know how she crossed 371 00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:53,920 the border. It is obvious that this could not have happened without direct 372 00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:57,720 assistance from state structures. And now those tracks are 373 00:39:57,720 --> 00:40:01,780 being erased. I am surprised that the other two men haven't been killed 374 00:40:01,780 --> 00:40:05,940 yet. Perhaps they are still needed to provide testimony to redirect 375 00:40:05,940 --> 00:40:09,780 suspicion away from the highest levels of the Ukrainian authority. 376 00:40:10,180 --> 00:40:13,860 This is

not merely a dispute among small-time criminals. 377 00:40:14,140 --> 00:40:17,560 It was very revealing. There was an assassination 378 00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:21,720 of Andrei Portnoy in Spain, connected 379 00:40:21,720 --> 00:40:25,740 to Ukraine. There was neither the first nor the last assassination 380 00:40:25,740 --> 00:40:29,940 of politically inconvenient persons carried out by Ukrainian security 381 00:40:29,940 --> 00:40:33,340 structures on European territory. You remember me telling you about 382 00:40:33,340 --> 00:40:37,820 the first ship that the Ukrainians blew up was in 383 00:40:37,820 --> 00:40:41,960 the Mediterranean? They blew up a cargo ship 384 00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:45,860 in the Mediterranean. I think an oil ship, whatever. They blew it up. Nobody said 385 00:40:45,860 --> 00:40:49,320 a word. And it's traveling through the Mediterranean, for God's sake. 386 00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:53,380 Nobody said anything. It's okay, because Ukraine 387 00:40:53,380 --> 00:40:56,820 and that was the very first one. And you know what that meant? 388 00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:01,600 That meant that shipping and the bombing of shipping 389 00:41:03,660 --> 00:41:05,100 of container ships 390 00:41:05,100 --> 00:41:08,280 of, man, that's a different word in Russian. 391 00:41:09,220 --> 00:41:12,740 Of the large cargo ships. 392 00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:17,240 Those are all fair game now, worldwide. You can just go out and kill them 393 00:41:17,240 --> 00:41:20,820 and all you got to do is, oh, sanctions. I put sanctions out 394 00:41:20,820 --> 00:41:23,460 and these assholes didn't follow them. Nonsense. 395 00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:28,820 That's international law for you. No wonder Lloyd's and neither will the Chinese. 396 00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:32,900 Nobody will insure them anymore. And you know, in order to get 397 00:41:32,900 --> 00:41:37,040 to the port, well, we'll get to that. That's another thing for another story. But his point, 398 00:41:37,260 --> 00:41:40,900 Solovyov is right. I went on my own personal rant. I'm going to go back to his 399 00:41:40,900 --> 00:41:44,760 now. The European Union is silent. And I say this 400 00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:48,720 directly to the European law enforcement agencies and European politicians. 401 00:41:48,720 --> 00:41:53,080 Solovyov, you are incapable of protecting European citizens 402 00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:57,100 even during the initial stage of the penetration of Ukrainian 403 00:41:57,100 --> 00:42:01,080 organized crime into your territory. 404 00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:05,040 And this is the point for you Americans, because if they 405 00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:09,040 show up, they're already here, by the way, they're everywhere. 406 00:42:09,540 --> 00:42:13,060 Nobody's safe. You cannot yet imagine the bloodshed 407 00:42:13,260 --> 00:42:17,300 that will begin in Europe. And incidentally, a hint 408 00:42:17,300 --> 00:42:20,460 of what awaits Europe has already been delivered by Budanov. 409 00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:25,200 He decided to put Poland in its place. Poland, 410 00:42:25,540 --> 00:42:29,120 the country that for a long period has done more than anyone else 411 00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:33,200 for Ukraine. The Poles believe naively that the 412 00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:37,120 Ukrainians can be trusted. Well, well, let us listen 413 00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:40,720 in. And here's the Polish interviewer. The Polish interviewer says 414 00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:44,060 he's interviewing a Ukrainian official. 415 00:42:45,220 --> 00:42:48,080 Interviewer says among our friends and partners, 416 00:42:48,240 --> 00:42:52,180 there is one country that is particularly important in 417 00:42:52,180 --> 00:42:56,320 that country is Poland. You yourself have said perhaps about a week 418 00:42:56,320 --> 00:43:00,380 ago that unless further escalation is stopped, the peak 419 00:43:00,380 --> 00:43:04,180 of the crisis may still lie ahead. And the Ukrainian guy 420 00:43:04,180 --> 00:43:08,000 says the peak is certainly still ahead. There's no great mystery 421 00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:12,040 there. A little more than a week remains 422 00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:15,540 before the anniversary of the Volhynia tragedy. 423 00:43:15,940 --> 00:43:20,040 And that's the Polish, you know, that that's where all the Poles were 424 00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:23,860 killed. Hundreds of thousands of them. According to the information available 425 00:43:23,860 --> 00:43:27,800 to me, the Polish side is preparing what I would describe 426 00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:31,760 as further immature steps of escalation. Therefore, 427 00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:35,460 all of this is clearly continuing of the Volhynia tragedy. 428 00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:40,160 And the interviewer goes, how seriously do you regard the situation in practical 429 00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:44,200 and pragmatic terms? I'm not asking about symbolic gestures, the 430 00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:47,620 removal of the reward. Remember, they took the award away from 431 00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:52,280 Zelensky, the Eagle Award, the renaming of something 432 00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:55,980 or another historical declaration. I'm talking about the 433 00:43:55,980 --> 00:44:00,360 consequence clusters, military assistance and broader cooperation. 434 00:44:00,540 --> 00:44:01,960 And here's the Ukrainian guy says, 435 00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:08,100 I use the term immaturity, and that's exactly how I 436 00:44:08,100 --> 00:44:12,240 see it. Let me repeat, because the 437 00:44:12,240 --> 00:44:16,120 Poles had given him, they said, look, you need to quit doing this and naming your 438 00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:20,020 units after Nazi units that destroyed the Poles, Ukrainian 439 00:44:20,020 --> 00:44:24,120 Nazis that destroyed the Poles in Volhynia. And they're going, screw you. 440 00:44:24,420 --> 00:44:27,860 We, you know, we they're honoring Nazism 441 00:44:27,860 --> 00:44:32,180 right here and Poles. And

this is the point. Listen to this. 442 00:44:33,420 --> 00:44:35,600 Let me repeat, he said. 443 00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:39,720 Ukraine will not accept ultimatums from anyone 444 00:44:39,720 --> 00:44:43,580 in the world. The last country that attempted to present 445 00:44:43,580 --> 00:44:47,640 us with an ultimatum was the Russian Federation. No 446 00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:51,520 offense to Poland, but Russia is somewhat more powerful than Poland. 447 00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:55,820 And even Russia's ultimatum was not accepted 448 00:44:55,820 --> 00:44:59,700 by us. Yes, it has been difficult. Yes, the situation is bad 449 00:44:59,700 --> 00:45:03,580 and a great deal of blood has been shed. But we still do not 450 00:45:03,580 --> 00:45:07,560 accept an ultimatum. So why does anyone imagine we would 451 00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:11,660 ever accept a different ultimatum from anybody else? No one 452 00:45:11,660 --> 00:45:14,700 should speak to Ukraine in the language of ultimatums. 453 00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:18,380 That's the Ukrainian thought process for 454 00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:23,560 the majority. I mean, a lot. And if they want to 455 00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:27,560 be Nazis, by God, you ain't going to stop them. If they want to be 456 00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:31,600 white supremacists, you ain't going to stop them. And if they think you 457 00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:35,560 need to be killed because you disagree with them, you're not going to stop them. 458 00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:38,140 And they don't care about the consequences. 459 00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:43,300 We got the money. They'll disappear. 460 00:45:43,720 --> 00:45:46,240 And they are harsh and brutal. 461 00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:51,780 And I don't generalize. There are some beautiful people as well. 462 00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:55,600 But don't think that just because they're 463 00:45:57,400 --> 00:45:59,520 waving a Ukrainian flag that they're 464 00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:03,100 necessarily the good guy. And that is the problem. 465 00:46:03,260 --> 00:46:06,500 And Solovyov's reaction to this was, he said, there you have it, Poles. 466 00:46:06,860 --> 00:46:08,980 Wipe yourselves with that. 467 00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:14,300 Wipe yourselves with all the assistance you give them. 468 00:46:14,580 --> 00:46:19,540 You're raising not only your former executioners, but your future executioners 469 00:46:19,540 --> 00:46:22,280 as well. Is that clear? Okay. 470 00:46:22,620 --> 00:46:27,720 Let them swallow everything they've spent all these years cultivating Ukraine. 471 00:46:27,720 --> 00:46:32,140 They built this. They encouraged it. They excused it. 472 00:46:32,240 --> 00:46:35,920 They armed it. And now they are discovering that Ukraine 473 00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:39,900 does not regard Poland as a benefactor whose concerns should be 474 00:46:39,900 --> 00:46:43,940 respected. Ukraine regards Poland as a weak state that has no 475 00:46:43,940 --> 00:46:47,200 right to issue demands. The Ukrainian message is simple. 476 00:46:47,620 --> 00:46:51,100 We did not obey Russia. And Russia is more powerful than you. 477 00:46:51,340 --> 00:46:55,860 So why would we obey Poland? That is the gratitude that Poland receives. 478 00:46:55,860 --> 00:46:59,480 That is the result of spending and nurturing 479 00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:03,820 the Ukrainian regime. And then he said he wanted to 480 00:47:03,820 --> 00:47:07,700 say a few words about Berezovskaya. That's the girl who killed the guy 481 00:47:07,700 --> 00:47:10,620 or tried to kill the guy in Monaco. Put a bomb out there. 482 00:47:11,820 --> 00:47:15,660 When she disappeared and could not be found, I had no doubt 483 00:47:15,660 --> 00:47:18,240 that she was already dead. She was. 484 00:47:19,020 --> 00:47:23,580 That was the logical conclusion considering the publicity surrounding the crime 485 00:47:23,580 --> 00:47:27,620 that occurred in Monaco. But what kind of idiot would kill her in Ukraine 486 00:47:27,620 --> 00:47:31,560 and then allow her body to be discovered? What kind of stupidity 487 00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:35,660 is that? It shows they have completely lost their minds because they have 488 00:47:35,660 --> 00:47:39,380 enjoyed impunity for so long. The Kiev regime 489 00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:43,620 consists... where did I go here? The Kiev regime 490 00:47:43,620 --> 00:47:47,640 consists of scoundrels and criminals. That is obvious. Well, it's true too. 491 00:47:47,720 --> 00:47:51,620 But they are not ordinarily stupid. They understand their 492 00:47:51,620 --> 00:47:55,740 position in the geopolitical structure perfectly well. They understand 493 00:47:55,740 --> 00:47:59,540 that they are playing a central role in the West's confrontation 494 00:47:59,540 --> 00:48:03,940 with Russia. For that reason, they believe quite rationally from their point of view 495 00:48:03,940 --> 00:48:07,740 that they will never be punished for anything they do. And I agree 496 00:48:07,740 --> 00:48:11,840 with that assessment completely. The woman crossed the border quickly. 497 00:48:12,240 --> 00:48:15,920 She was given assistance and passage. She was not forcibly 498 00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:19,520 transported out of Europe. She drove herself back to Ukraine. 499 00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:23,540 But once information concerning her identity began appearing 500 00:48:23,540 --> 00:48:26,680 publicly and photographs of her and information concerning her 501 00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:31,380 connection surfaced online, everything became clear and 502 00:48:31,380 --> 00:48:35,480 she knew she was going to be dead. At that point, she probably panicked and 503 00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:39,560 tried to save herself. But the two men connected to the operation also 504 00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:43,640 began panicking because they understand that the trail will lead 505 00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:47,600 to them also. But they didn't act independently. Somebody gave them 506 00:48:47,600 -->

00:48:51,420 200,000 euro. This was not some 507 00:48:51,420 --> 00:48:55,560 spontaneous criminal improvisation. This is crime at the highest level 508 00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:59,360 by the way. Someone at a significant level authorized 509 00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:03,740 the operation. Zelensky once again demonstrated that the Ukrainian 510 00:49:03,740 --> 00:49:07,760 state functions like an organized criminal group. 511 00:49:08,180 --> 00:49:11,700 And that's true, friends and neighbors. There is one more 512 00:49:11,700 --> 00:49:15,640 possibility. Perhaps the Americans embedded within the 513 00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:19,700 Ukrainian security structure are now attempting to restrain the regime 514 00:49:19,700 --> 00:49:23,200 because it has become too reckless. I think that's what's going on with 515 00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:27,760 Sierski right now. Because they got rid of that guy Fyodorov last week. 516 00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:30,760 I mean, there's all kinds of inner drama going on in Ukraine. 517 00:49:31,380 --> 00:49:35,480 And the reason I'm sharing Solovyov, I don't usually share Solovyov with you 518 00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:39,220 in so much detail, but I wanted to put this out there because he's freaking right. 519 00:49:39,540 --> 00:49:43,600 Just because he gets throttled everywhere and they don't want to put his 520 00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:47,140 information out, they'll throttle me for putting this out. 521 00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:51,480 I won't be... You can't have an opinion like 522 00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:55,140 mine and have it broadcast to anywhere suitable 523 00:49:55,140 --> 00:49:59,440 to get a large... They're all throttling it. They don't want 524 00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:03,280 to hear the truth, period. And that's the way it is. 525 00:50:03,540 --> 00:50:07,520 You think America's different than anywhere else? It is not. 526 00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:10,760 It's throttled, it's controlled, and that's that. 527 00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:13,580 And this is where we are. 528 00:50:14,860 --> 00:50:19,140 Let's see. Perhaps the regime crossed even the red lines tolerated 529 00:50:19,140 --> 00:50:23,000 by the European Union by killing this guy in Monaco, or trying to. 530 00:50:23,300 --> 00:50:26,320 The Monaco operation communicated the message that 531 00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:30,800 we do not care where you are. There is no safe 532 00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:34,300 territory. And they have behaved in this way, 533 00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:38,720 because they believe their current position protects them. 534 00:50:38,720 --> 00:50:41,640 They truly believe that. We can do anything. 535 00:50:42,140 --> 00:50:45,940 Somebody's at war with us. Therefore, we can kill anybody connected to it. 536 00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:49,160 We can blow up wild berries plants connected... Oh, Jesus. 537 00:50:49,540 --> 00:50:53,260 Somebody mailed a drone... What do you call it? 538 00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:58,060 Board. Tech board. You know, whatever the board is. It goes... Circuit board. 539 00:50:58,340 --> 00:51:02,100 Somebody mailed a circuit board by Amazon, so therefore, 540 00:51:02,240 --> 00:51:06,120 we got to blow up Amazon. That'd be the equivalent of what they did to wild berries. 541 00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:09,940 Oh, geez. Maybe they send these electronic components 542 00:51:09,940 --> 00:51:14,200 and those electronic components are going to people who manufacture drones 543 00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:17,140 in their houses. What a bunch of crap. 544 00:51:17,460 --> 00:51:21,660 So you blow up the whole logistics. So Russia's been doing the same. 545 00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:24,740 I've been watching these videos, and it's friggin' frightening. 546 00:51:25,240 --> 00:51:28,220 They are taking out train stations. They are taking out 547 00:51:30,460 --> 00:51:34,080 shipping yards and those huge cranes. You ain't just putting a crane back 548 00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:36,860 in the ground. I mean, they are destroyed. 549 00:51:37,300 --> 00:51:40,740 They are taking these places to rubble, and Kiev is next. 550 00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:44,960 And I'm telling you, it's not good over there. 551 00:51:45,340 --> 00:51:49,880 Anyway, let's get back to Solovyov, because there's only a little bit more I want to say 552 00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:54,360 with him, but I want to finish on his thought process of the Monaco attempts. 553 00:51:54,860 --> 00:51:58,500 He said... I'm going to repeat this for you. 554 00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:01,720 The Monaco operation communicated the message, 555 00:52:01,720 --> 00:52:05,940 we do not care where you are, there is no safe territory. 556 00:52:06,260 --> 00:52:09,640 Basically, they're going to kill you anyway. And they have behaved in this way 557 00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:12,880 because they believe their current position protects them. 558 00:52:13,260 --> 00:52:17,700 They believe the West, us, we need this 559 00:52:17,700 --> 00:52:21,140 struggle against Russia and will therefore forgive 560 00:52:21,720 --> 00:52:25,900 anything. Now that's telling, because I think that's 561 00:52:25,900 --> 00:52:29,340 true too. They let these assholes get away with anything 562 00:52:29,340 --> 00:52:32,920 they want, because they're fighting Russia. 563 00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:37,200 Do you want to blow up a school in 564 00:52:38,700 --> 00:52:40,800 I forget the name of the town. 565 00:52:42,620 --> 00:52:44,380 Stutterville? I can't remember. 566 00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:48,680 Do you want to blow up a young girl's school? 567 00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:53,140 Nobody will question you for that. It's no big deal. You're forgiven. 568 00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:57,360 Bless you. Continue bombing. Keep it up. And everything is 569 00:52:57,360 --> 00:53:01,380 civilian. It's crazy. They're not even attacked. Remember when 570 00:53:01,380 --> 00:53:04,440 they attacked those planes before and they had that drone thing? 571 00:53:04,620 --> 00:53:09,400 It was

a pretty good military operation. Successful. 572 00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:13,260 But it was at least a military-related target. 573 00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:17,040 Now they're blowing up civilians. They're attacking school buses 574 00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:20,660 with drones and laughing about it. 575 00:53:22,100 --> 00:53:25,420 At the moment, everyone's attention is focused on the 576 00:53:25,420 --> 00:53:29,340 NATO summit. Everyone will flatter Trump, manipulate Trump, or extract 577 00:53:29,340 --> 00:53:33,500 something from Trump. And Trump will attempt to manipulate all of them. 578 00:53:33,740 --> 00:53:37,480 He is a creative and entertaining character. Every day can produce 579 00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:41,680 the same story, but this is a significant moment. We will be 580 00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:45,440 approaching accumulation. And after this summit, events may finally 581 00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:49,220 begin moving toward a result. Situation cannot continue 582 00:53:49,220 --> 00:53:53,460 indefinitely in its present suspended form. And that's absolutely 583 00:53:53,460 --> 00:53:57,160 true. The infrastructure of Ukraine is 584 00:53:57,160 --> 00:54:01,080 disappearing. There's nothing. 585 00:54:02,860 --> 00:54:04,140 There's trains, 586 00:54:05,580 --> 00:54:09,240 gas stations, all down any main road in between 587 00:54:09,240 --> 00:54:13,620 any of the main cities. They can't get between the major cities without carrying their own 588 00:54:14,740 --> 00:54:16,980 significant amount of backup oil. 589 00:54:17,240 --> 00:54:21,560 Because you can't even necessarily get it when you get to the new place. 590 00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:25,960 They've been systematically taking out hundreds of gas stations. 591 00:54:26,620 --> 00:54:29,280 And certainly along the main roads. 592 00:54:30,460 --> 00:54:33,660 So, let's see. Let's go 593 00:54:33,660 --> 00:54:36,920 to the British in Sevastopol. 594 00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:40,640 A report from Russian intelligence service 595 00:54:42,380 --> 00:54:45,280 hasn't been paid that much attention to either. 596 00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:49,840 It says the British were behind the strike on the museum in Sevastopol. 597 00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:53,780 Remember me telling you about that? This museum, this shipping museum that's been 598 00:54:53,780 --> 00:54:57,860 around 400 years of Russian shipping in Sevastopol. 599 00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:01,940 And they blew up the friggin' museum. Why would you do that? 600 00:55:02,240 --> 00:55:04,400 I mean, it's like attacking a church. 601 00:55:04,780 --> 00:55:10,020 What the hell? What are you doing? But they're doing it. And we've discussed this 602 00:55:10,020 --> 00:55:13,400 before. I did not understand why their 603 00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:17,640 report suggested the Ukrainians didn't know about this target. 604 00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:21,980 They did know. Of course they knew. But why would the British be involved? 605 00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:25,660 Because the museum wasn't a military target. But it represents 606 00:55:25,660 --> 00:55:29,480 something else. History, identity, 607 00:55:30,060 --> 00:55:33,660 humiliation. It represents reminders of 608 00:55:33,660 --> 00:55:37,420 defeat. And until Britain is restrained, 609 00:55:37,700 --> 00:55:41,900 this will continue. But we've got to expand the geography. 610 00:55:42,240 --> 00:55:45,720 The problem is Europe as a whole. Look at what 611 00:55:45,720 --> 00:55:49,540 European politicians now openly permit themselves 612 00:55:49,540 --> 00:55:53,540 to say. They concede that Russia cannot be defeated on the battlefield. 613 00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:56,800 They concede the Russian economy has not collapsed. 614 00:55:57,420 --> 00:56:01,940 Therefore, they say their principal task is to destabilize Russian society 615 00:56:01,940 --> 00:56:05,560 from within. That's what they're all saying. That's what the Ukrainians 616 00:56:05,560 --> 00:56:09,160 have been doing. They want to control these elections that are coming up. 617 00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:12,680 And the only way they can do that is blow up Wildberry's plants. 618 00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:16,520 Attack concerts. Blow up 619 00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:19,280 families on the Crimean beach. 620 00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:24,680 This is how you say the torment of civilians 621 00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:28,320 is how the Ukrainians intend to get their goal. 622 00:56:28,460 --> 00:56:32,540 And you hear their actions. The way they talk. They are brutal. 623 00:56:33,220 --> 00:56:36,500 And they don't care. You aren't giving us an ultimatum. 624 00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:41,120 If we want to blow up an oligarch in Monaco, we're going to. 625 00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:44,940 And that is true. The consequences do 626 00:56:44,940 --> 00:56:47,940 not matter. You ever watch those shows 627 00:56:47,940 --> 00:56:51,080 and that's all we have for the Russians. 628 00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:56,760 The allegations. And one of my favorite shows of the Russian ones is 629 00:56:56,760 --> 00:57:00,000 Brat 1 and Brat 2. 630 00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:04,560 Brat means brother. And I've talked about it before on this show. 631 00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:09,140 And Brat 2, brother 2, they come to Chicago 632 00:57:09,140 --> 00:57:12,080 and engage in something. And it's the Ukrainian mafia. 633 00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:16,280 Because Ukrainian mafia is all over Chicago and everybody knows it. 634 00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:20,900 And they are harsh. They are very, very harsh. 635 00:57:21,340 --> 00:57:25,560 And they chase them through here. Even the Russians were talking about it in the 90s. 636 00:57:25,820 --> 00:57:29,320 The Ukrainians. And anything for money. Anything for power. 637 00:57:30,300 --> 00:57:33,380 And if that means you've got to kill some people, well, it means you've got to kill some people. 638 00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:35,600 And that's that. 639 00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:39,600 But Russia

640 00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:43,760 is being destabilized. 641 00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:47,360 And how do you destabilize it? You act like the mafia. 642 00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:51,680 This is exactly right. This is mafia style 643 00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:55,560 tactics. The principal task is to destabilize 644 00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:59,540 Russia. And look what the Netherlands are saying. They call for maximum 645 00:57:59,540 --> 00:58:03,500 assistance to Ukraine and increase participation in the 646 00:58:03,500 --> 00:58:07,560 confrontation. But then, this is Solovyov asking about 647 00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:11,480 this. He has one question. Why haven't Dutch oil refineries 648 00:58:11,480 --> 00:58:15,460 yet exploded? If everybody's involved in a war 649 00:58:15,460 --> 00:58:19,220 with Russia and the war involves blowing up oil refineries in Russia, 650 00:58:19,340 --> 00:58:23,400 why aren't they blowing them up elsewhere? Why is Russia restraining 651 00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:27,240 itself? Why? Against these civilian 652 00:58:27,240 --> 00:58:31,420 types. Now they're taking out Odessa. And they're doing it 653 00:58:31,420 --> 00:58:35,700 in Odessa and Ukraine. But they haven't crossed the borders. They're not going to other places. 654 00:58:36,620 --> 00:58:39,280 But it's certainly free for Ukraine to go 655 00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:43,600 anywhere in the country of Russia and destroy anything out there. 656 00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:46,920 Well, if the Russians are really fighting the entire West, 657 00:58:47,700 --> 00:58:49,520 why isn't it justified for 658 00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:55,040 them to do the same? To blow up shipping? I don't know. 659 00:58:55,320 --> 00:58:59,200 It's an interesting question. I don't agree with it. I don't agree with the expansion. 660 00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:03,500 I don't agree with what they're doing anyway. There's always kind of been an unspoken 661 00:59:03,500 --> 00:59:07,220 rule. You don't attack 662 00:59:07,220 --> 00:59:11,380 the people. It's a war. You fight 663 00:59:11,380 --> 00:59:15,500 the combatants. That's not Ukraine. That is not Ukraine at all. 664 00:59:15,580 --> 00:59:18,740 They're losing their asses on the front lines. I've got to get to Sierski. 665 00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:23,240 And I want to talk a little bit about that. And it's almost 666 00:59:23,240 --> 00:59:25,760 finished here where he says 667 00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:29,800 they're all about this destabilization. 668 00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:34,320 But we also have people inside of Russia 669 00:59:34,320 --> 00:59:36,460 who insist that destabilization 670 00:59:38,660 --> 00:59:42,760 continue, whether deliberately or through stupidity. 671 00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:46,260 Several months ago, information appeared that Ukrainian nationalist 672 00:59:46,260 --> 00:59:50,380 structures using NATO money were purchasing media channels, 673 00:59:50,540 --> 00:59:54,000 telegram channels, and other information platforms. There were even 674 00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:58,260 allegations concerning supposed pro-Russian or Z military 675 00:59:58,260 --> 01:00:01,460 bloggers. But the FSP, the Foreign Intelligence Service, 676 01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:05,140 reportedly observed and reported this activity. One matter 677 01:00:05,780 --> 01:00:10,040 is an invented provocation with no foundation. It's another when our own 678 01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:13,880 institutions are giving ammunition to the same people. And it sometimes appears 679 01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:17,740 deliberate. But it becomes difficult to believe that all of it is just 680 01:00:17,740 --> 01:00:21,940 accidental, so I will put it more harshly. A reasonable suspicion 681 01:00:21,940 --> 01:00:26,020 has arisen. Is there some form of agreement among 682 01:00:27,380 --> 01:00:28,000 oligarchs? 683 01:00:30,620 --> 01:00:34,000 Comprador bourgeoisie, he said something in French, which I assume 684 01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:37,920 is a group of bourgeoisie, whose principal objective is to force 685 01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:41,900 Russia into an unfavorable peace. That is a question not 686 01:00:41,900 --> 01:00:45,760 merely for public discussion, but for highly professional services. 687 01:00:46,140 --> 01:00:50,100 They should be given freedom to act. Ukraine is increasingly brazen 688 01:00:50,100 --> 01:00:54,040 about its efforts. Goes out, kills civilians, blows them up. 689 01:00:54,940 --> 01:00:58,080 Our air defenses are working as hard as possible, but the 690 01:00:58,080 --> 01:01:02,320 attacks continue. And he's talking about Russia, of course. Europe remains untouched, 691 01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:06,140 while the damage inflicted on Russia grows larger every day. 692 01:01:06,420 --> 01:01:09,960 At some point, this arrangement must end, and we have to identify 693 01:01:09,960 --> 01:01:14,200 the real source of the threat. The source of the threat is not just Ukraine. 694 01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:18,220 The source is Europe. Ukraine is not independently carrying 695 01:01:18,220 --> 01:01:21,960 out these attacks. Target selection, intelligence, 696 01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:25,880 guidance, and support are provided by NATO. 697 01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:29,440 Yes, caller, how may I help you? 698 01:01:29,820 --> 01:01:31,260 You've got to turn your radio down. 699 01:01:32,900 --> 01:01:36,060 Can you hear me? I can. Continue. 700 01:01:39,620 --> 01:01:42,320 It's kind of hypocritical for you to talk about 701 01:01:42,320 --> 01:01:45,300 Ukraine blowing up citizens when 702 01:01:46,100 --> 01:01:48,420 everybody on Fox News is chanting about 703 01:01:49,100 --> 01:01:51,100 bridge and power plant day. 704 01:01:51,460 --> 01:01:53,800 Yeah, I know. It's crazy, isn't it? 705 01:01:58,650 --> 01:02:02,730 You're up in arms that they're fighting a war in Ukraine, but you're not concerned 706 01:02:02,730 --> 01:02:04,850 that your own country is doing the exact same thing? 707 01:02:05,190 -->

01:02:08,250 I know we're doing the exact same thing. That's not today's topic. 708 01:02:10,930 --> 01:02:14,090 I know we're doing the same thing.

My topic today is not Iran. 715 01:02:40,070 --> 01:02:42,490 I'm not talking about Iran either. I'm talking about 716 01:02:44,250 --> 01:02:45,210 war-thirsty 717 01:02:46,290 --> 01:02:48,630 war criminal countries like you are. 718 01:02:50,290 --> 01:02:52,470 I'm a war criminal?

It was pretty fun. 728 01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:34,380 I was trying to save the world way back in my youth. 729 01:03:34,980 --> 01:03:38,800 I didn't engage in any crime. It was even during the Gulf War. I never got sent there. 730 01:03:38,800 --> 01:03:41,600 What the hell's the use of a Russian interpreter over there? 731 01:03:41,620 --> 01:03:46,680 I didn't get any wartime 732 01:03:46,680 --> 01:03:50,800 even though I was in for one and two, but I got no wartime. 733 01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:53,440 Enough about you. 734 01:03:56,700 --> 01:03:58,860 I haven't blown up any bridges in Iran 735 01:03:58,860 --> 01:04:00,340 either, so I'm doing well. 736 01:04:02,540 --> 01:04:06,020 Do you think that Ukraine is really winning? 737 01:04:06,020 --> 01:04:08,300 No hell no. 738 01:04:09,820 --> 01:04:14,560 Do you think Russia is really winning if it was supposed to be a three days? 739 01:04:15,780 --> 01:04:18,040 See, that's a bunch of crap anyway. 740 01:04:18,320 --> 01:04:22,260 They had him on their knees in the first week and then gave up 741 01:04:22,260 --> 01:04:26,200 because of Bojo. They retreated in there. 742 01:04:26,900 --> 01:04:29,360 It was a massive, massive push. 743 01:04:30,140 --> 01:04:30,540 Say what? 744 01:04:32,720 --> 01:04:35,660 They had him all the way up through Zaporozhye. 745 01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:39,020 They were almost to Dnipropetrovsk 746 01:04:39,020 --> 01:04:40,920 and right outside of Kiev. 747 01:04:41,460 --> 01:04:46,460 Then they said, look, we don't want that. All we want is Donetsk, Lugansk, 748 01:04:46,880 --> 01:04:49,980 and now Zaporozhye and Kharkov because they all 749 01:04:50,300 --> 01:04:51,620 filed a memorandum. 750 01:04:52,160 --> 01:04:56,460 They had votes and they had referendums. 751 01:04:56,460 --> 01:05:00,160 They had a vote and they're 90% Russian 752 01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:04,480 anyway and they don't want to be Ukrainian and they're not letting 753 01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:06,000 them be Russian. 754 01:05:07,780 --> 01:05:10,780 So Russia said, we want these four territories. 755 01:05:11,900 --> 01:05:16,760 They actually had an agreement to go back to that in April of 2022. 756 01:05:17,500 --> 01:05:20,160 I can't believe I've got to repeat this. You know all this stuff. 757 01:05:22,320 --> 01:05:24,920 You know all that and you know that the Russians 758 01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:28,460 during the six day or whatever it was 759 01:05:29,260 --> 01:05:32,060 negotiation, which they were going to accept, they 760 01:05:33,500 --> 01:05:36,680 retreated back from all kinds of places. They pulled 761 01:05:36,680 --> 01:05:41,020 back during that time period. I mean, go check 762 01:05:41,020 --> 01:05:44,480 it out. They did it. And they pulled back. 763 01:05:45,300 --> 01:05:48,980 We'll do it. Go back. Go watch. There's several channels out there 764 01:05:48,980 --> 01:05:53,060 where you can watch in the first days of the Russian invasion if you 765 01:05:53,060 --> 01:05:57,060 want to call it what the West is calling it. You can go back and look at it that they 766 01:05:57,060 --> 01:06:01,080 went much, much further than where the front line is right 767 01:06:01,080 --> 01:06:05,000 now. And all they wanted was to stop it and Bojo 768 01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:09,180 and the Biden administration encouraged them to not 769 01:06:09,180 --> 01:06:12,920 go. We'll keep funding you. But they were capitulating 770 01:06:12,920 --> 01:06:17,140 in April of 2022. In two months. They were 771 01:06:17,140 --> 01:06:21,080 capitulating and there were documents to prove it. You can go out 772 01:06:21,080 --> 01:06:25,080 check it out. And then they went and since that time it's 773 01:06:25,080 --> 01:06:29,080 been a grind and it's a grind for territory 774 01:06:29,080 --> 01:06:33,040 and the Ukrainians have lost last estimates 775 01:06:33,040 --> 01:06:36,040 that I heard were at least one point two million 776 01:06:36,900 --> 01:06:39,700 and nobody knows the Russians but most 777 01:06:40,660 --> 01:06:45,040 most of the experts in that like the Institute of War and 778 01:06:45,040 --> 01:06:49,100 places like that estimate the losses are at least 779 01:06:49,100 --> 01:06:52,980 well one to five which means Ukrainians lost 780 01:06:52,980 --> 01:06:57,160 five to every one of Russian and that so that puts 781 01:06:57,160 -->

01:07:01,080 the Russians somewhere in the neighborhood of two three hundred thousand and I 782 01:07:01,080 --> 01:07:05,240 bet it's higher than that myself. I imagine it's about 783 01:07:05,240 --> 01:07:09,200 it's got to be at least half of what the Ukrainians 784 01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:13,160 have lost but that's me but nobody gives those numbers but the Ukrainians 785 01:07:13,160 --> 01:07:14,860 are losing massively. 786 01:07:16,940 --> 01:07:19,080 Things I say says 787 01:07:19,900 --> 01:07:22,920 450,000 Russians and 150,000 788 01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:27,480 Ukrainians.

that you know that is winning 921 01:17:48,860 --> 01:17:53,020 the war that is winning and you know we can do that 922 01:17:53,020 --> 01:17:56,800 and that's fine because the new generation they only want to play video 923 01:17:56,800 --> 01:18:01,080 games and be underground in a bunker using weapons that fly 924 01:18:01,080 --> 01:18:05,020 somewhere and they won't risk their own bodies ever you know nor do they want 925 01:18:05,020 --> 01:18:09,080 to so Russia has to find the drone facilities and bomb and kill them and the same 926 01:18:09,080 --> 01:18:12,820 thing has to go on the other direction but Ukraine is losing 927 01:18:12,820 --> 01:18:16,900 on the front there's no doubt so under the 928 01:18:16,900 --> 01:18:20,780 arrangement that was offered Fyodorov would oversee defense technology 929 01:18:20,780 --> 01:18:24,760 programs and efforts to scale production of long range weapons 930 01:18:24,760 --> 01:18:28,460 which is what they want they want long range you want to keep blowing up Russia 931 01:18:28,460 --> 01:18:32,820 from afar allowing him to continue pushing reform outside the 932 01:18:32,820 --> 01:18:37,060 defense ministry and military command he would also have worked to attract 933 01:18:37,060 --> 01:18:40,820 foreign investment in Ukraine's defense industry and Fyodorov did 934 01:18:40,820 --> 01:18:42,700 not respond to requests for comment 935 01:18:44,500 --> 01:18:48,840 President met Fyodorov for six hours over the weekend and has been in contact with him 936 01:18:48,840 --> 01:18:52,800 daily since he got rid of him on Thursday according to people briefed on the matter 937 01:18:52,800 --> 01:18:56,960 and Zelensky offered him several alternative positions to his past defense 938 01:18:56,960 --> 01:19:00,880 minister role but he declined all of them he has a lot of leverage right now said 939 01:19:00,880 --> 01:19:04,980 a person familiar with the discussions between Fyodorov and Zelensky he wants one 940 01:19:04,980 --> 01:19:08,940 thing to be restored as the minister of defense and he knows most of 941 01:19:08,940 --> 01:19:12,920 society is on his side the situation is compounded the related 942 01:19:12,920 --> 01:19:16,740 dilemma facing Zelensky over the future of Siersky changing 943 01:19:16,740 --> 01:19:21,120 leadership risk disrupting the entire institution central to Ukraine's 944 01:19:21,120 --> 01:19:24,880 defense amid Russia's escalating airstrikes they're destroying 945 01:19:24,880 --> 01:19:28,900 Ukraine inside but resisting calls for change will further alienate the 946 01:19:28,900 --> 01:19:32,740 public with a long record of force in its political leadership to reverse 947 01:19:32,740 --> 01:19:36,860 course through mass mobilization moreover Siersky has been 948 01:19:36,860 --> 01:19:41,000 a close ally of Zelensky and has at times closely coordinated military plans 949 01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:44,760 according to the desire of the president Kursk region 950 01:19:44,760 --> 01:19:49,000 remember that farce that was crap we're need to go up and take over 951 01:19:49,000 --> 01:19:52,440 the Kursk power plant because they took over his operation that was idiocy 952 01:19:52,440 --> 01:19:56,920 and they lost an estimated 75,000 soldiers during that stupidity 953 01:19:57,620 --> 01:20:00,760 and the people with knowledge of the relationship so say that he and 954 01:20:00,760 --> 01:20:04,700 Zelensky are pretty close so it's important to assess further strategy and how to force 955 01:20:04,700 --> 01:20:09,220 Russia to end the war with a worthy peace for Ukraine and guaranteed security 956 01:20:09,220 --> 01:20:13,040 said Zelensky on Sunday suggesting a change in the top may be 957 01:20:13,040 --> 01:20:17,300 imminent okay among militaries we met over the weekend 958 01:20:17,300 --> 01:20:20,840 Mikhail Drapatye 959 01:20:20,840 --> 01:20:25,080 commander the joint forces Ukraine Vladimir Horbatyuk 960 01:20:25,080 --> 01:20:28,960 deputy chief of staff and Oleg Apostol 961 01:20:28,960 --> 01:20:33,340 commander of the assault air forces all are among contenders to take 962 01:20:33,340 --> 01:20:36,940 over the job of commander in chief from 963 01:20:36,940 --> 01:20:41,080 Siersky and several senior Ukrainian officials and people close said there 964 01:20:41,080 --> 01:20:45,140 were appeared to be growing momentum behind promoting younger officers 965 01:20:45,140 --> 01:20:49,280 whose careers were shaped by Russia's war rather than 966 01:20:49,280 --> 01:20:53,100 Soviet traditions support supporters 967 01:20:53,100 --> 01:20:57,380 argue that these commanders are now turned attuned to new realities 968 01:20:57,380 --> 01:21:01,160 reshaping the war including the expansion 969 01:21:01,160 --> 01:21:05,080 rapid of drone warfare decentralized 970 01:21:05,620 --> 01:21:09,340 decision making in the need for fast adaptations at the 971 01:21:09,340 --> 01:21:13,280 front Western partners urged the president to settle this 972 01:21:13,280 --> 01:21:17,080 matter quickly we are your financier 973 01:21:17,080 --> 01:21:21,360 and we need stability said a Western supporter of 974 01:21:21,360 --> 01:21:25,460 Kiev we need people to know and trust we can work 975 01:21:25,460 --> 01:21:29,360 with Ukraine and you can't 976 01:21:29,360 --> 01:21:33,460 because the mafia runs Ukraine and you can't 977 01:21:33,460 --> 01:21:36,620 trust these a-holes you can't do it and so 978 01:21:36,620 --> 01:21:40,120 there you have it let's see 979 01:21:40,120 --> 01:21:44,280 and I think that's a I think it's a 980 01:21:45,140 --> 01:21:48,980 it's very interesting to follow all the drama going on over there 981 01:21:48,980 --> 01:21:52,860 but nobody knows much about it so but as of this morning 982 01:21:52,860 --> 01:21:56,640 Alexander Siersky has not been dismissed as 983 01:21:56,640 --> 01:22:00,660 commander in chief there's no presidential decree or official Ukrainian 984 01:22:00,660

--> 01:22:04,620 announcement that removes him and the Ukrainian general staff denies that 985 01:22:04,620 --> 01:22:08,200 immediate dismissal has been decided but the pressure is very serious 986 01:22:08,200 --> 01:22:12,520 and enough that several reports have described him including that one I just 987 01:22:12,520 --> 01:22:16,480 shared with you the most of from the Financial Times and so the 988 01:22:16,480 --> 01:22:20,820 immediate crisis wasn't a battlefield defeat but Zelensky's dismissal 989 01:22:20,820 --> 01:22:24,740 of Fyodorov after a deep conflict between Fyodorov 990 01:22:24,740 --> 01:22:28,240 and Siersky or his general staff Fyodorov 991 01:22:28,240 --> 01:22:32,700 has become identified with drone warfare fast weapon procurement 992 01:22:32,700 --> 01:22:36,680 he's he's he's in bed with all the oligarchs 993 01:22:36,680 --> 01:22:40,980 and with all the Western money train and so Ukraine 994 01:22:40,980 --> 01:22:44,880 through Zelensky and the former people who are collecting all this 995 01:22:44,880 --> 01:22:48,800 wealth to themselves don't want this young kid 996 01:22:48,800 --> 01:22:52,860 coming in and taking it and that's what's really going on 997 01:22:52,860 --> 01:22:56,140 is this young kid has made great 998 01:22:56,700 --> 01:23:00,060 strides with Western contacts in his own right 999 01:23:00,060 --> 01:23:04,140 that's why he has so much power and can tell him no I just want my defense 1000 01:23:04,140 --> 01:23:07,860 minister spot back you reappoint me or we'll continue these 1001 01:23:07,860 --> 01:23:09,740 protests for weeks 1002 01:23:11,760 --> 01:23:16,240 greater autonomy for field commanders is what they want technology 1003 01:23:16,240 --> 01:23:20,180 driven military reform reducing the dependence on 1004 01:23:20,180 --> 01:23:24,140 assault infantry and breaking what supporters call 1005 01:23:24,140 --> 01:23:26,900 Soviet style bureaucracy mafia 1006 01:23:28,140 --> 01:23:30,580 Siersky and traditional military 1007 01:23:30,580 --> 01:23:35,200 reportedly resisted portions of that program that the defense 1008 01:23:35,200 --> 01:23:38,640 minister wanted argued that drones cannot replace 1009 01:23:38,640 --> 01:23:42,860 infantry artillery discipline command and conventional 1010 01:23:42,860 --> 01:23:46,900 force structure you can't get rid of the conventionals for structure 1011 01:23:46,900 --> 01:23:51,120 and fight only a drone and missile war but apparently 1012 01:23:51,120 --> 01:23:54,620 that's the way the world is going you know that's all we're doing 1013 01:23:54,620 --> 01:23:58,160 what did he say on the phone earlier bridge and 1014 01:23:58,160 --> 01:24:02,600 bridge and something day that they're all talking about 1015 01:24:02,600 --> 01:24:06,320 and on Fox News Zelensky 1016 01:24:06,320 --> 01:24:10,400 ultimately chose Siersky over Fyodorov because 1017 01:24:10,400 --> 01:24:14,420 of the loyalty of Siersky 1018 01:24:14,420 --> 01:24:18,640 to

Zelensky so he acknowledged that the 1019 01:24:18,640 --> 01:24:22,560 two sides had failed to achieve unity and he had to choose between 1020 01:24:22,560 --> 01:24:26,660 them and their public protests not only for Fyodorov but 1021 01:24:26,660 --> 01:24:30,480 against Siersky and it's all young people Fyodorov's removal 1022 01:24:30,480 --> 01:24:34,780 has several demonstrations in Kiev and now numerous other Ukrainian 1023 01:24:34,780 --> 01:24:38,720 cities they all say Siersky out Siersky 1024 01:24:38,720 --> 01:24:42,560 out demanded Fyodorov's reinstatement they accused Siersky 1025 01:24:42,560 --> 01:24:46,800 of obstructing military modernization accused the general staff 1026 01:24:46,800 --> 01:24:50,900 of promoting loyalty over competence and blamed centralized 1027 01:24:50,900 --> 01:24:55,220 command practice for unnecessary casualties reports 1028 01:24:55,220 --> 01:24:59,380 describe thousands of participating 1029 01:24:59,380 --> 01:25:02,640 over thousands of protesters 1030 01:25:02,640 --> 01:25:07,260 participating over several days which is an unusual public 1031 01:25:07,260 --> 01:25:11,280 challenge to Zelensky during wartime and some protesters 1032 01:25:11,280 --> 01:25:15,220 have established a deadline for Fyodorov's 1033 01:25:15,220 --> 01:25:19,240 return and they threaten expanded demonstration and so this is more than 1034 01:25:19,240 --> 01:25:23,700 just a personal dispute it's a test of whether wartime Ukraine 1035 01:25:23,700 --> 01:25:27,160 can tolerate a public revolt against military commander 1036 01:25:27,160 --> 01:25:30,640 who is personally protected by Zelensky 1037 01:25:31,240 --> 01:25:35,660 Siersky denies that he regarded his relationship with Fyodorov 1038 01:25:35,660 --> 01:25:39,300 as a conflict he described disagreements as normal 1039 01:25:39,300 --> 01:25:43,420 institutional differences during a major war and said he was surprised to learn 1040 01:25:43,420 --> 01:25:46,660 the relationship was being portrayed as a feud 1041 01:25:46,660 --> 01:25:50,240 that response is designed to distance him from 1042 01:25:50,240 --> 01:25:54,280 Fyodorov's dismissal prevent himself as a professional soldier 1043 01:25:54,280 --> 01:25:58,340 rather than a politician avoid directly attacking 1044 01:25:58,340 --> 01:26:02,120 Fyodorov whose popularity exceeds his 1045 01:26:02,660 --> 01:26:06,180 that's for sure and keep Zelensky from being 1046 01:26:06,180 --> 01:26:10,340 forced into another humiliation and having to come up with a 1047 01:26:10,340 --> 01:26:14,540 reversal narrative his difficulty is that Fyodorov supporters 1048 01:26:14,540 --> 01:26:18,580 do not regard this as only a misunderstanding they regarded 1049 01:26:18,580 --> 01:26:22,780 as a contest between young technology driven 1050 01:26:22,780 --> 01:26:26,700 models and older command culture 1051 01:26:26,700 --> 01:26:30,520 they want to go with the young one so why Siersky is vulnerable 1052 01:26:30,520 --> 01:26:34,900 because his battlefield reputation has been associated with costly 1053 01:26:34,900 --> 01:26:36,980 defensive battles he lost Bahmut 1054 01:26:38,260 --> 01:26:41,940 he centralized command micromanagement 1055 01:26:41,940 --> 01:26:45,880 high personnel losses continued reliance on 1056 01:26:45,880 --> 01:26:49,460 infantry despite Ukraine's shortage in manpower 1057 01:26:49,460 --> 01:26:53,080 the nickname for him is sometimes of his critics is sometimes 1058 01:26:53,940 --> 01:26:57,820 General 200 which reflects accusations 1059 01:26:57,820 --> 01:27:01,500 that he tolerates excessive loss and it explains 1060 01:27:01,500 --> 01:27:05,320 the dispute over drone warfare and it's emotional 1061 01:27:05,520 --> 01:27:08,860 why it's so emotionally driven 1062 01:27:08,860 --> 01:27:13,220 because they want to use only drones they don't want people dying 1063 01:27:13,220 --> 01:27:17,000 they want drone warfare that's it we fly drones into Russia 1064 01:27:17,000 --> 01:27:19,820 Russia flies drones into us that's the war 1065 01:27:20,740 --> 01:27:24,900 the manpower crisis is another Siersky vulnerability 1066 01:27:26,260 --> 01:27:29,180 only got a couple minutes left so I'll talk about that 1067 01:27:29,180 --> 01:27:33,180 and the fact that Fyodorov is a pretty big potential 1068 01:27:33,180 --> 01:27:37,140 political rival now who would be the possible replacements nobody 1069 01:27:37,140 --> 01:27:40,520 really knows but the name getting the most attention is Mikhailo 1070 01:27:40,970 --> 01:27:44,680 Drapati the younger and comparatively respected Ukrainian commander 1071 01:27:44,680 --> 01:27:48,820 whose appeal would be that he represents generational change 1072 01:27:48,820 --> 01:27:51,800 preserve professional military leadership 1073 01:27:52,980 --> 01:27:57,260 reconcile portions of Fyodorov's reform agenda with the conventional 1074 01:27:57,260 --> 01:28:01,160 operations of Siersky he could reduce political pressure without immediately 1075 01:28:01,160 --> 01:28:05,260 returning Fyodorov to the defense ministry and no replacement has been 1076 01:28:05,260 --> 01:28:09,220 confirmed and Zelensky is going to attempt another compromise rather 1077 01:28:09,220 --> 01:28:13,380 than remove Siersky immediately but Fyodorov rejects the compromise 1078 01:28:13,380 --> 01:28:17,040 so the strategic argument there are two models 1079 01:28:17,040 --> 01:28:21,320 Siersky's model which is infantry driven artillery and organized formation 1080 01:28:21,320 --> 01:28:25,240 drones supplement rather than replace conventional 1081 01:28:25,240 --> 01:28:28,700 forces and central command is necessary Fyodorov 1082 01:28:28,920 --> 01:28:32,420 says Ukraine doesn't possess Russia's manpower or industry 1083 01:28:32,420 --> 01:28:36,320 Ukraine has to fight asymmetrically drones should 1084 01:28:36,320 --> 01:28:40,560 go first command should be decentralized and rapid 1085 01:28:40,560 --> 01:28:44,540 private sector innovations matter more than military bureaucracy 1086 01:28:44,540 --> 01:28:48,340 so long range strikes is what he's all for inside 1087 01:28:48,340 --> 01:28:52,420 of Russia that can impose significant costs on 1088 01:28:52,420 --> 01:28:56,380 Russia without Ukrainian troop losses so they're 1089 01:28:56,380 --> 01:28:59,260 more into a long term they want to drag on this 1090 01:28:59,260 --> 01:29:03,520 this warfare of blowing up civilians inside 1091 01:29:03,520 --> 01:29:06,180 of Russia and blowing up 1092 01:29:07,040 --> 01:29:10,540 wild berries factories is the younger generation 1093 01:29:10,540 --> 01:29:15,260 and you know there's some naturally there'd be a lot of support for that 1094 01:29:15,260 --> 01:29:19,300 because you can do it without dying and they don't want to go 1095 01:29:19,300 --> 01:29:23,120 to the front and die they don't want to fight they want to play video games these are video 1096 01:29:23,120 --> 01:29:27,180 games and they can do it Russians we can play video games too they say 1097 01:29:27,180 --> 01:29:31,140 right everybody can sit around play video games but at some point you 1098 01:29:31,140 --> 01:29:35,000 got to take the territory and how you going to do it without an infantry without 1099 01:29:35,000 --> 01:29:39,220 any tanks that's the argument so this is why the wild 1100 01:29:39,220 --> 01:29:43,240 berries attack matters because Fyodorov supporters want an aggressive drone 1101 01:29:43,240 --> 01:29:47,360 technology war Siersky is accused of obstructing that Fyodorov 1102 01:29:47,360 --> 01:29:51,020 has been dismissed the protests demand that Siersky 1103 01:29:51,020 --> 01:29:54,520 get removed and Fyodorov gets put back Ukraine conducts
