¡PROFESORA ALEMANA DESENMASCARA LAS MENTIRAS SOBRE UCRANIA! – Conferencia de Gabriele Krone-Schmalz
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQk8lbfcGTY)
Gabriele Krone-Schmalz, profesora alemana en la Universidad Europea de Ciencias Aplicadas, representa una de las escasísimas voces críticas en Alemania respecto a la guerra en Ucrania. En septiembre de 2024 (01-09-2024), Krone-Schmalz protagonizó una conferencia magistral sobre el tema, en la cual desenmascaró las mentiras difundidas por los grandes medios de comunicación occidentales sobre las causas, el desarrollo y las consecuencias de la guerra en Ucrania. Por gentileza de NachDenkSeiten y Neutrality Studies presentamos la conferencia magistral doblada al español sin cortes.

Muchas gracias les saludo a todos cordialmente sí Rusia y cómo seguir me
0:28
permiten comenzar con una cita nunca antes estuve desalentado nunca desesperé por la patria Pero ahora al ver a sus
0:34
salvadores perdí toda Esperanza esta cita es de heinry chine y la leí hace unas semanas en niten en un artículo que
0:42
trataba sobre el estado de nuestra democracia Considero que los sistemas democráticos son en principio la
0:49
variante más humana para organizar la convivencia pero no se debe olvidar las democracias dependen del llamado
0:54
ciudadano responsable para que funcionen sin embargo un ciudadano solo puede ser
1:00
responsable si en primer lugar recibe educación Y en segundo lugar está
1:05
continuamente y completamente
1:16
informado tanto la educación como la información completa en mi opinión no se dan tan fácilmente en cuanto a la
1:23
educación probablemente se pueda llegar a un consenso de que aún hay mucho margen de mejora en cuanto a la calidad
1:30
de la cobertura informativa esto es menos el caso estas deficiencias ponen en peligro la democracia y en última
1:37
instancia la paz que como se sabe es más que solo la ausencia de guerra el
1:42
periodismo es un Pilar importante para otorgar estabilidad a una democracia la tarea de decidir una y otra vez que
1:49
entra en las noticias sobre qué se debe informar Y qué se debe omitir inevitablemente es muy responsable
1:56
porque a menudo no se tiene la opción entre lo y lo incorrecto sino solo entre
2:01
lo incorrecto y lo incorrecto lo sé por experiencia
2:07
propia nur fal
2:15
fwi todo es difícil y complicado por eso es aún más importante tomar en serio al
2:20
ciudadano y proporcionarle toda la información disponible esto debería hacerse independientemente de la propia
2:27
postura en una disputa de opinión también se debe resistir la tentación de querer hacer política uno mismo en lugar
2:34
de explicarla un debate respetuoso y polémico sobre estos temas podría aumentar las posibilidades de encontrar
2:41
soluciones sostenibles y pacíficas esto no solo se aplica a Rusia y Ucrania así entiendo mi trabajo en
2:49
cualquier caso no estoy dispuesto a dejar el campo a aquellos que reclaman para sí solos la autoridad
2:55
interpretativa y creen tener una justificación moral para ello und meinen
3:00
dafür auch noch so etwas wie eine moral berechtigung zu [Aplausos]
3:16
haben entonces Rusia y ahora qué Para poder responder a esta pregunta es
3:22
importante conocer la historia previa y entender qué nos ha llevado a la situación actual esta historia previa no
3:29
comienza solo con el ataque ruso a Ucrania sino mucho antes básicamente comienza con la disolución de la unión
3:35
soviética Por cierto este es un ejemplo revelador del uso del lenguaje en occidente a menudo hablamos de la
3:41
desintegración de La Unión soviética sin embargo en realidad fue una disolución
3:46
más o menos dirigida políticamente pero eso es solo un comentario al margen ya que me ocuparé
3:53
más intensamente del lenguaje más adelante Así que la historia previa comienza básicamente con La Unión
4:06
soviética y no está de más recordar algunos puntos clave uno olvida las
4:12
cosas Tan rápido Ya lo verá bajo el liderazgo de mijail gorbachov la unión soviética se había abierto hacia
4:18
occidente de una manera sin precedentes este poderoso espíritu de cambio Es difícil de describir con palabras las
4:25
esperanzas y expectativas eran enormes sin embargo exigió a las personas también fue enorme pero en el ámbito
4:32
político occidental no se reconoció realmente su importancia fueron esencialmente tres revoluciones las que
4:39
ocurrieron y que debían ser superadas la primera fue la transición de la economía
4:44
planificada a la economía de Mercado se dice fácilmente pero significa mucho las
4:50
personas de la antigua rda Generalmente entienden esto mejor que las personas en la parte occidental de Alemania
5:03
y para Rusia se suma a la dificultad aparte del tamaño por supuesto de que la economía rusa no fue arruinada por la
5:09
economía planificada sino creada por ella Esa es una diferencia
5:15
significativa la segunda Revolución fue la transición de la dictadura del partido comunista a estructuras de
5:21
Estado de derecho Quién es consciente hoy en día de que la pretensión de
5:26
Liderazgo del partido comunista estaba consagrada en la contitución soviética por lo tanto la Constitución tuvo que
5:33
ser modificada al principio el camino también parecía conducir directamente a
5:38
estructuras de Estado de derecho la Constitución no es el problema hoy en día sino la realidad
5:44
constitucional ha habido retrocesos masivos en ese aspecto y la tercera Revolución fue la transición de la unión
5:52
soviética al Estado nacional lo cual durante mucho tiempo no fue reconocido como un problema en occidente
6:05
tenga en cuenta también que por todos los crímenes y violaciones cometidos por la unión soviética occidente ha
6:11
responsabilizado a Rusia de manera general todos los demás estados que surgieron tras la disolución de la unión
6:18
soviética recibieron de occidente la oportunidad de un nuevo comienzo más o menos sin
6:24
cargas Rusia sin embargo no esta actituds significante ya que sienta las
6:31
bases para revivir rápidamente viejas imágenes enemigas los rusos fueron y son
6:36
vistos como los malos stalin tampoco es percibido como georgiano sino como alguien de Rusia Cómo continuó la
6:43
situación luego vino Boris yelsin quien al principio fue visto tanto en occidente como en Rusia como un símbolo
6:49
de Esperanza como reformador y demócrata
7:01
pero la vida cotidiana rusa pronto fue dominada por el capitalismo Salvaje la corrupción y un gran caos había
7:08
condiciones caóticas que apenas podemos imaginar en nuestro país relativamente estructurado yelsin a través de
7:15
privatizaciones dudosas de industrias clave se convirtió en el partero de los oligarcas la élite del dinero Bajo su
7:21
mandato se produjo una venta sin precedentes del país más que venderlo lo
7:27
regaló de esto no solo se benefició los oligarcas rusos sino también occidente y
7:32
de manera considerable por malo que sea todo esto lo peor de todo es que todos los bonitos términos occidentales como
7:39
liberalización y democratización sonaban bien en teoría pero en la práctica no
7:44
resultaron ser el paraíso prometido para la gente en Rusia sino un caos puro
7:59
apenas podía ser deseable con ello estos términos quedaron dañados de manera duradera ni siquiera hablo del bombardeo
8:06
del parlamento ruso que yelsin ordenó en 1993 eso también fue más bien
8:12
antidemocrático pero en el sentido del occidente por eso este acto no fue criticado como normalmente se debería
8:19
haber hecho en vista de los valores occidentales en cambio fue celebrado qué debían pensar los ciudadanos de Rusia al
8:26
respecto se puede leer los detalles y la cronología de los aconte en este caos en esta situación en la que
8:33
las estructuras criminales eran lo único fiable Putin llegó en el momento
8:46
justo un hombre joven sano y Deportivo que con su política y su comportamiento ha devuelto a la gente en Rusia la
8:52
confianza y la autoestima en lugar de aprovechar las oportunidades y finalmente Construir la
8:58
casa europea común los observadores occidentales Solo
9:04
criticaron que Putin era un hombre del kgb eso por sí solo no dice nada por un
9:10
lado el kgb a finales de los años 80 revisó su pasado criminal de una manera sin precedentes hay una producción de
9:17
emia titulada kgb y
9:28
gln y por otro lado Putin dijo en relación con el fallido intento de golpe de estado en el verano de
9:34
1991 recuerdan cuando un grupo alrededor del jefe de la kgb krikov quiso tomar el
9:41
poder los tanques rodaron por Moscú y gorbachov fue retenido con su familia en
9:46
crimea Putin renunció a su servicio exactamente en ese momento es decir cuando aún no se podía prever que este
9:52
golpe fracasaría eso es una declaración Clara pero esos detalles solo molestan
9:58
el hecho es que Putin en su primer mandato hizo muchas ofertas de cooperación al occidente el señor Müller
10:05
también mencionó algunas propuestas que sin embargo fueron todas ignoradas o rechazadas de
10:19
inmediato Y esto no es una cuestión marginal sino una experiencia fundamental que moldea el comportamiento
10:26
futuro también es un hecho que Putin en su primer mandato valoró mucho la importancia de una sociedad civil fuerte
10:32
e hizo mucho para desarrollarla los numerosos intentos no fueron reconocidos en absoluto por nosotros o fueron
10:41
ridiculizados para aquellos que ahora piensan que puedo contar mucho pero faltan pruebas las encontrarán en mis
10:47
libros anteriores entre ellos qué pasa en Rusia Allí se describe detallada y
10:52
cronológicamente todo lo que ha sucedido no nos interesó en lo más mínimo en
10:57
tiempos de cambio importante evitar
11:08
entendidos por eso en este punto una observación intermedia cuando menciono errores
11:14
occidentales no significa que esté afirmando que por el contrario Rusia sea impecable y solo la pobre víctima no son
11:22
esas las categorías en las que pienso cuando explico y analizo la política de Putin en sus inicios como presidente no
11:29
tiene nada que ver con justificar sus actividades posteriores tanto en política interna como externa explicar
11:36
no tiene nada que ver con justificar ese es uno de los grandes malentendidos de nuestro
11:41
tiempo me concentro en los errores occidentales por dos razones primero
11:46
porque se examinan menos en nuestro entorno así queo de alguna manera
11:58
equilibrar por otro lado uno debería conocerlos para no repetirlos esto nos lleva a la cuestión fundamental que debe
12:05
responderse persigue Rusia intereses imperialistas o se trata de una arquitectura de seguridad funcional que
12:11
incluya a Rusia esto debe debatirse basándose en hechos Es decir de manera
12:16
analítica y no ideológica O moral no ayuda que los políticos alemanes diseñen
12:22
escenarios de amenaza y adviertan cito de las fantasías de Gran Potencia de Putin o que los expertos de desarrollen
12:29
cronogramas según los cuales los rusos estarán en Berlín en 5 años tales declaraciones fomentan Más el miedo que
12:37
ser el resultado de una evaluación objetiva de la
12:49
situación Incluso el secretario general de la otan stoltenberg que no es precisamente conocido por su moderación
12:55
hacia Rusia ha dicho recientemente que actualmente y una amenaza por parte de
13:01
Rusia Algo similar se encuentra también en varios documentos estratégicos de Estados
13:06
minos Entonces por qué esta alarma si se deben continuar los enormes esfuerzos
13:12
Para apoyar a Ucrania en la guerra contra Rusia financieramente y con armas se debe fomentar el miedo a un ataque
13:18
ruso Más allá de Ucrania así se lleva la población a aceptar todo esto sin
13:24
resistencia a esto se suma la afirmación de que nuestra democracia y Libertad se
13:29
defienden en
13:38
Ucrania eso es tampoco cierto esta vez como lo fue en su momento en Afganistán cuando se decía que nuestra libertad y
13:46
democracia se defendían en el hindukush desafortunadamente hay ejemplos
13:51
repetidos en la historia que muestran que las imágenes de amigo enemigo y la
13:56
demonización del adversario para preparar a toda una sociedad para la guerra nuestro ministro de defensa
14:03
que no se llama ministro de
14:24
guerra una consideración sistemática y cronológica de las declaraciones rusas y de la política rusa muestra una y otra
14:31
vez que a Moscú le interesa un lugar adecuado en la nueva arquitectura de seguridad esto se hizo necesario después
14:39
de que la confrontación este-oeste pareciera superada a finales de los años 80 tras la disolución del Pacto de
14:46
Varsovia la otá debería haberse transformado de manera
14:53
lógica laan fue fund originalmente como una defensiva
14:59
[Música]
15:04
Solo que el enemigo es decir la Unión soviética o Rusia ya no existía Así que
15:10
se necesitaba una nueva misión y se proclamaron las operaciones fuera del área es decir operaciones fuera del
15:17
propio territorio desde mi punto de vista eso fue el principio del fin en lugar de incluir de alguna manera a la
15:23
enorme Rusia en términos de seguridad la otá no se transformó estructuralmente sino simplemente se expandió hacia el
15:30
este aunque existía el consejo otan Rusia este era más bien una Corre sis
15:36
mética y no una participación en igualdad de condiciones la expansión hacia el este
15:42
de la otá fue en cualquier caso uno de los mayores errores desde el final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial
15:52
[Aplausos]
16:06
eso lo vio también el veterano ministro de asuntos exteriores alemán hanser y lo que quizás es aún más
16:14
significativo incluso George Kenan en esencia el arquitecto de la política de contención
16:19
estadounidense dijo en ese momento y cito textualmente creo que es un error
16:24
trágico no había ninguna razón para ello nadie amenaza nadie y un poco más
16:30
adelante dice Por supuesto que habrá una mala reacción de Rusia en el futuro y entonces ustedes los que amplían laan
16:37
dirán así son los rusos Siempre se lo dijimos pero eso es completamente incorrecto George Canon que según mi
16:44
conocimiento No se identifica con el significado actual de comprensivo con
16:55
Rusia ukra de la otan para Ucrania un vecino
17:01
inmediato con un significado histórico y emocional especial para Rusia se había superado el límite del dolor la
17:08
necesidad de seguridad de Rusia a menudo se ridiculiza en la agenda política de occidente se Argumenta país enorme quién
17:17
podría amenazarlo pero una mirada al mapa y a los documentos estratégicos muestra que
17:22
se busca la fragmentación de Rusia y un cambio de régimen en Moscú una diferencia clave en política de
17:28
seguridad ria y estad Unidos radica simplemente en la
17:39
geografía hab Estados Unidos tiene océanos al
17:45
oeste y al este de su país al norte tienen a Canadá como socio de la otan y
17:50
al sur el país limita con México del cual no hay riesgo en términos de seguridad para Estados Unidos con Rusia
17:59
es completamente diferente Rusia se extiende sobre una enorme masa terrestre con más de 22000 km de frontera
18:06
terrestre que en gran parte es difícil de defender Rusia tiene 14 vecinos no
18:12
Solo dos con algunos de los países las de est paion están fuertemente tensas
18:17
desde el punto de vista de la seguridad es una tarea cualitativamente diferente Que naturalmente también
18:24
conduces a otras sensibilidades
18:32
lo que tampoco se debe olvidar son los miedos históricos de Rusia siempre estamos programados para reconocer los
18:39
miedos históricos de Polonia y los Estados bálticos Eso es correcto pero no
18:44
reconocemos los miedos históricos de Rusia en 1904 Rusia fue atacada por
18:49
Japón en el este en la Primera Guerra Mundial las tropas alemanas ocuparon grandes partes de Rusia
19:09
yici en la subsiguiente guerra civil rusa las potencias occidentales intervinieron especialmente Francia y
19:16
Gran Bretaña lo que también se pasa por alto a menudo es que Polonia intentó
19:23
aprovechar la debilidad de Rusia después de la Primera Guerra Mundial para expandir su territorio hacia el este y
19:30
lo hizo más allá de la línea que en las negociaciones de paz debería haber formado la frontera oriental de Polonia
19:36
la gran Polonia del periodo de entreguerras se apropió de los territorios soviéticos que stalin
19:41
recuperó en 1939 Sí y luego por supuesto No hay que
19:47
olvidar la invasión alemana de 1941 con todo el sufrimiento inmenso inimaginable crueldad
20:00
más atrás en el tiempo pero aún presente Está también el ataque francés bajo Napoleón en
20:06
1812 los miedos y sentimientos de amenaza rusos tienen un trasfondo real
20:12
estos miedos están en absoluto contraste con los Estados Unidos debido a esta combinación de experiencias históricas y
20:19
ubicación geográfica la situación de amenaza se presenta de manera muy diferente para Rusia
20:46
para comparar Rusia tiene 11 bases militares fuera de su propio país de las
20:51
cuales nueve están en las inmediaciones de Rusia Estados Unidos tiene casi 800 bases militares en más de 70 paí del
20:59
mundo Quién amenaza a quién aquí no importa si una amenaza es real o solo percibida como tal eso es suficiente
21:07
para destruir la base de una coexistencia pacífica o incluso de una colaboración esa base sería un mínimo de
21:14
confianza y de dónde debería venir en la situación actual yo diría la
21:19
desconfianza muda Nunca es tan grande como
21:30
tes declaraciones como las de la señora Merkel naturalmente contribuyen a esto
21:36
ella dijo que los acuerdos de Minsk solo se llevaron a cabo para darle tiempo a Ucrania para volverse más defensiva En
21:43
otras palabras Los acuerdos en sí mismos no Se tomaron en serio es una señal devastadora para qué hacer acuerdos
21:51
Entonces si consideramos el pasado reciente desde la perspectiva rusa estuvo la guerra de kosovo en 1999
21:58
y la guerra de Irak en 2003 ambas guerras Fueron lideradas por Estados Unidos sin la aprobación del
22:05
Consejo de Seguridad de la ONU Por así decirlo por su propia autoridad donde las reglas internacionales ya no
22:12
importaban no fue Moscú quien intentó remodelar el mundo fueron los Estados Unidos o el occidente
22:26
político est denuncia de casi todos los tratados de desarme que en parte tenían
22:32
dimensiones históricas basta compensar que con el tratado inf se logró realmente no solo limitar sino eliminar
22:39
y destruir toda una categoría de armas tampoco fue Moscú quien canceló los tratados sino Estados Unidos en este
22:47
contexto vale la pena echar un vistazo a la cronología de las acusaciones mutuas
22:52
sobre quién supuestamente violó los tratados correspondientes Y cuándo los misiles
22:59
cado mencionados a menudo fueron una contramedida al sistema de defensa antimisiles que Estados Unidos desplegó
23:05
en Polonia y Rumanía Cabe destacar que estos sistemas de defensa pueden convertirse técnicamente en sistemas de
23:12
ataque con facilidad systeme sich technisch ganz leicht in angriff systeme umwandeln
23:18
lassen das ist alles nicht so schwarz wie es uns ofts suert wir no es todo tan blanco y negro como a menudo se nos
23:25
sugiere para relacionarlo ahora con Ucrania el compromiso estadounidense en Ucrania Es realmente notable no me
23:33
refiero solo a las enormes sumas con las que se han influido repetidamente las elecciones en Ucrania o se han
23:39
financiado programas educativos estos programas se llaman realmente programas educativos pretenden transmitir a los
23:46
ucranianos en todas las regiones del país que estarían mejor en la
23:52
otanes ti
24:02
al contrario el estatus neutral de Ucrania incluso estaba consagrado en la Constitución aparte de eso Ucrania fue
24:09
repetidamente escenario de grandes maniobras de la otan Estados Unidos aumentó sistemáticamente el número de
24:16
sus vuelos de reconocimiento en la frontera ucraniano rusa como se pudo leer recientemente en el New York Times
24:23
Estados Unidos ha operado durante unos 8 años 12 bases secretas de la Cia frona
24:29
ucan rusa según el New York Times el compromiso de los servicios de inteligencia estadounidenses habría
24:35
jugado un papel clave en la decisión del presidente ruso de invadir Ucrania en febrero de
24:49
2022 Moscú temía que Ucrania pudiera convertirse con la ayuda de la Cia el
24:54
servicio de inteligencia exterior británico servicios occidentales en una plataforma
25:01
para operaciones contra Rusia antes de la invasión a Ucrania el presidente ruso pidió formalmente
25:07
garantías de seguridad pero ni siquiera querían hablar con él no me refiero a
25:12
las conversaciones entre schz y Putin o macron y Putin en esa mesa descomunalmente larga sino a cómo se
25:18
reaccionó en los Estados Unidos quien se sienta recordado a los tiempos de la guerra la Guerra Fría debería tener una
25:24
intensificación conceptual preparada porque hoy es mucho más
25:37
peligroso no en vano se hablaba entonces del equilibrio del terror se trata precisamente de este equilibrio de
25:44
ajustar y mantener la capacidad de segundo ataque esta capacidad disuade a
25:49
un posible agresor de realizar el primer golpe porque debe contar con ser destruido como segundo occidente
25:55
político hace todo lo posible equilibrar este equilibrio en los tratados internacionales a menudo se enfatiza que
26:03
la seguridad de uno no debe desarrollarse o garantizarse a expensas de la seguridad del otro Pero quién
26:10
sigue respetando eso Qué ha pasado con los canales de comunicación que se crearon para tiempos de
26:25
crisis consj otros foros de diálogo han sido suspendidos o completamente eliminados
26:32
desde la invasión rusa a Ucrania se ha vuelto común responsabilizar a los políticos de distensión por este
26:38
desarrollo y culparlos parcialmente de que el ataque ruso haya ocurrido muchos
26:43
de estos políticos de distensión incluso algunos conocidos ahora se retiran y declaran que esta política fue un error
26:51
lamentable sin embargo en mi opinión es exactamente al revés no son los
26:57
políticos de estado actual sino el hecho de que no
27:02
pudieron imponer su política ihr nicht hab durch
27:09
[Aplausos]
27:28
y debería debatir de manera basada en hechos y civilizada no se debería descartar cada argumento que no se
27:34
ajuste a la línea actual del gobierno como desinformación o noticias falsas
27:39
para hacerlo indiscutible o peor aún llamarlo propaganda rusa en la que supuestamente todos caemos
27:46
masivamente sobre eso se podría debatir interminablemente pero me parece mucho más importante mirar hacia delante eso
27:54
ya es bastante difícil
28:10
Comencemos con los intereses la política pacífica no es más que un equilibrio de intereses que funciona no se trata de
28:17
moral como se afirma a menudo incluso la candidata presidencial demócrata en los Estados unidosa haris dijo en la
28:24
conferencia de seguridad de Munich refiriéndose aliso est en Europa no lo
28:30
hacemos por caridad sino porque está en nuestro interés estratégico
28:45
[Aplausos]
28:58
seguramente hay puntos de contacto con los Estados Unidos o áreas comunes como se dice hoy en día pero también hay
29:05
diferencias significativas que no deben subestimarse estas diferencias deben ser elaboradas y claramente nombradas por
29:13
ejemplo es del interés de la oe especialmente de Alemania mantener buenas relaciones con Rusia Asimismo es
29:20
del interés de Rusia tener buenas relaciones con la o y con Alemania no solo somos vecinos sino también socios
29:26
naturales se complementan sin embargo esto no era en absoluto en el interés de
29:32
los estados unos Unidos todo lo contrario hay una razón por la cual en los documentos estadounidenses se afirma
29:38
que el único peligro real para la supremacía de los Estados Unidos es un continente euroasiático
29:52
funcional china desempeña un papel especial desde la perspectiva
29:58
el peligro de una buena cooperación con china ha sido evitado por el momento los únicos que se benefician de esta
30:05
situación son los Estados Unidos y la industria armamentística para los Estados Unidos
30:11
es un éxito haber alcanzado su objetivo estratégico este objetivo que aparece en
30:17
documentos oficiales desde hace unos 100 años
30:35
Die
30:40
[Aplausos]
30:48
preisen Deer Alemania los precios de la energía
30:54
son tan altos que se está volviendo o se vuelto para la existencia de muchas empresas
31:01
Esto no se debe a que Rusia nos haya cerrado el Grifo del gas como se afirma a menudo más bien nosotros mismos
31:08
renunciamos al gas ruso para no apoyar la maquinaria de guerra rusa lo loco de
31:13
esto es que a pesar de todo seguimos recibiendo gas ruso Solo que a través de intermediarios y a un precio mucho más
31:26
alto antes de abar el inventario anunciado me gustaría hacer un comentario intermedio para evitar
31:32
posibles malentendidos cuando critico la política de los Estados Unidos no debe
31:37
confundirse con antiamericanismo encuentro a los Estados Unidos de América tan fascinantes como a Rusia
31:44
también mis experiencias con personas en mis viajes a través del continente fueron en su mayoría
31:55
positivas se interen
32:01
[Aplausos]
32:11
y luego considerar Cómo se podría conectar eso con el bienestar de los vecinos me parece bien siempre y cuando
32:18
se hable abiertamente sobre los intereses y no se les de pretextos humanitarios para presentarlos
32:24
mejor hasta aquí todo bien vuelve preocupante cuando un fervor casi
32:29
religioso y misionero lleva a tomar el derecho de intervenir en cualquier parte del mundo de manera encubierta o abierta
32:36
violentamente para perseguir intereses propios eso
32:55
contradice inter esto contradice todos los acuerdos
33:00
internacionales y de manera masiva la carta de la ONU en nombre de la Democracia No todo está permitido ahora
33:08
sobre el estado de la situación esto incluye la constatación de que la tragedia de Ucrania no solo se
33:14
manifiesta en muertos heridos traumatizados y la indescriptible destrucción del país también radica en
33:21
que una política inteligente según todo lo que se sabe podría haber evitado todo esto si se le hubiera permitido el
33:28
presidente brasileño Lula da Silva lo resume bien cuando dice que Rusia tiene la responsabilidad exclusiva del
33:34
estallido de la guerra pero actualmente Estados Unidos y Europa son responsables
33:39
de fomentar una guerra de
33:49
poder apenas cuatro semanas después del estallido de la guerra hubo una gran oportunidad para ponerle fin a través de
33:56
la mediación de el entonces Primer Ministro israelí bennet se llevaron a cabo negociaciones en Estambul estas
34:03
fueron exitosas aunque no se habían resuelto todos los puntos la dirección
34:08
estaba Clara sobre todo existía la voluntad de resolver los puntos de conflicto de manera diplomática Incluso
34:16
en relación con el complicado tema de crimea todo esto no fracasó por Rusia sino porque poner fin a la guerra en ese
34:23
momento no estaba en el interés de la comunidad de Estados occidentales
34:33
Ese fue el resultado de una Cumbre extraordinaria de la otan en Bruselas el 24 de marzo de
34:39
2022 Boris Johnson el entonces Primer Ministro británico dejó esto claro a su
34:44
homólogo ucraniano durante una visita Relámpago a kiev el 9 de abril la
34:50
justificación la proporcionó el Secretario de Defensa estadounidense Austin dijo que se debía
34:56
aprovechar laun debilitar a Rusia de manera permanente tanto militar como
35:01
económicamente a través de esterra así que no se trataba principalmente del bienestar de Ucrania
35:08
con ello todo lo que se había logrado hasta entonces quedó
35:18
obsoleto en este contexto también se deben considerar las demandas del presidente ucraniano y su gobierno de
35:24
más ayuda armamentística si los países occidentales no quieren el fin de la guerra entonces deben ayudar a Ucrania a
35:32
sobrellevar la situación en cuanto a la moral y la voluntad de resistencia de los
35:37
ucranianos ciertamente Todavía están presentes pero parece que cada vez más
35:42
ucranianos se dan cuenta de que están siendo sacrificados por intereses
35:51
geopolíticos asurar
36:00
[Aplausos]
36:14
que la guerra de desgaste después de más de dos años resulte más desfavorable para Ucrania que antes como en Estambul
36:21
marzo de 2022 es bastante triste pero era previsible el balance También
36:27
incluye el estado de las cosas en el frente como es sabido no es fácil obtener información verificada en la
36:33
guerra por lo que se debe tener precaución el ataque sorpresa ucraniano
36:38
la llamada ofensiva de kursk Aparentemente se ha estancado después de los notables avances iniciales en el
36:44
terreno no ha habido un progreso real el supuesto cálculo de kiev de atar a las
36:50
tropas rusas en el sur y aliviar la situación en el donbas no ha funcionado
37:02
Moscú no cayó en esa trampa en cambio está aprovechando la debilidad ucraniana
37:07
existente en cuanto a personal y equipo para avanzar más en el donbas esta área
37:13
es mucho más interesante para Rusia los rusos Aparentemente están cerca de la ciudad estratégicamente importante de
37:20
bakov esta ciudad es estratégicamente importante porque allí se encuentra un nudo ferroviario que juega un papel en
37:28
el suministro casi más importante es que después apenas hay líneas de defensa
37:33
fortificadas lo que varios blogueros militares destacan es que las áreas capturadas por Rusia ahora están apenas
37:40
destruidas En comparación con el comienzo de la
37:49
guerra esto lleva a la conclusión de que la resistencia ucraniana está disminuyendo considerablemente
37:57
el canal ucraniano de Telegram Deep State considerado una de las fuentes ucranianas más fiables informa de
38:03
problemas dramáticos de personal en el sureste y de pérdidas significativas de material en la región de kursk tanto el
38:11
Times británico como el economist informan de algo similar todo esto en
38:16
conjunto no sugiere que Ucrania pueda resistir mucho más tiempo especialmente No si se consideran los masivos ataques
38:22
aéreos rusos de los últimos días que se centran principalmente en la destrucción
38:28
de
38:35
infraestructuras tan rápido no se pueden reparar el suministro eléctrico y las plantas de calefacción como se destruyen
38:42
una y otra vez las informaciones ucranianas sobre defensas exitosas están Aparentemente
38:48
embellecidas según el portal ucraniano defens ukra que se basa en el actual comandante en jefe Ucrania solo pudo
38:55
interceptar un cuarto de los misiles disparados por Rusia y aproximadamente dos tercios de los drones sin embargo
39:02
Ucrania necesita informe Éxito para seguir contando con el apoyo de
39:14
occidente y Cuanto más desesperada se vuelve la situación mayor es el riesgo de que no sea la razón sino el pánico lo
39:21
que Determine el comportamiento no es un secreto queel y suno todo lo posible para involucrar a
39:28
la otan en esta guerra en esencia es más bien una discusión teórica si occidente Es parte beligerante o
39:35
no según el servicio científico del bundestag alemán de marzo de 2022 no se convierte en parte
39:42
beligerante simplemente por el suministro de armas sino por la formación de soldados ya a finales del año pasado
39:50
unos 8000 soldados ucranianos habían recibido formación por parte de la
39:55
bundes
40:03
Entonces ya no depende de nosotros si somos parte en la guerra o no sino de cómo Moscú percibe nuestro
40:10
comportamiento la situación no podría ser más complicada no mejora si se sospecha que aquellos que exigen
40:16
actividades diplomáticas están más o menos en la nómina de Moscú Debería ser de interés propio para
40:23
Alemania y la ue desarrollar conceptos de desescalada y elaborar un plan para
40:28
el tiempo posterior sin embargo estas iniciativas no provienen de Alemania o
40:33
de la un sino de China países africanos y Brasil y estos países estarían muy
40:38
lejos Si la situación aquí se
40:48
descontrola Alemania y los países circundantes se convertirían en el campo de batalla no Brasil o China y tampoco
40:55
Estados Unidos hablemos nuevamente sobre la política de distensión y echemos un vistazo atrás la
41:03
otan ha seguido una estrategia Dual desde finales de los años 60 del siglo pasado por un lado mostró fuerza militar
41:09
Y por otro se esforzó en el ámbito político por la cooperación la distensión y el desarme en aquel
41:16
entonces la estrategia Dual de la otan hacia Rusia se describía con los términos seguridad y distensión hoy los
41:22
términos correspondientes son disuasión y diálogo disu Es un término agresivo
41:28
seguridad uno
41:38
defensivo el diálogo se convierte en una fórmula vacía cuando se consideran ilegítimos los intereses del
41:43
interlocutor desde el principio la distensión en cambio representa un programa un enfoque político integral la
41:52
diferencia de calidad entre la política de entonces y la de hoy se reconoce solo en la elección de
41:58
términos hablando de elección de términos al principio mencioné que volvería al tema del lenguaje Es
42:04
recomendable como consumidor de medios desollar cierta sensibilidad lenguaj prestar atención la
42:12
lección de palabras y que res ref ria y
42:26
Ucrania por ejemplo de noticias no verificadas y se refiere a los buenos a menudo se dice que esto y aquello es
42:33
Aparentemente así en el caso de los malos el término Aparentemente se convierte Generalmente en la palabra
42:40
supuestamente ahí la duda ya está claramente presente o en un informe sobre el Avance ucraniano en la región
42:47
de kursk se dice que el 8 de agosto las grabaciones ucranianas mostraron Cómo se
42:52
rendían soldados rusos un poco más tarde en el mismo informe se dice que las
42:58
grabaciones rusas supuestamente muestran Cómo ocurrió esto y aquello lo siguiente no tiene relación directa con Rusia pero
43:05
no quiero privarle de este
43:14
Matiz Hasta qué punto ha avanzado la
43:19
brutalizer de amas y esbol se dice que han sido neutralizados los términos utilizados
43:25
fueron neutral o incluso eliminados no matados O asesinados otro ejemplo hay
43:33
términos establecidos entre ellos se encuentra la guerra de agresión ilegal contra Ucrania no hay objeciones a eso
43:41
pero si en este caso se formula con tanta precisión Por qué no de manera
43:46
consistente Entonces no debería decirse las alturas del golan ocupadas por Israel eso también fue y es ilegal según

sot seguramente aún recuerdan el gran descontento cuando el presidente húngaro vítor orban al inicio de su presidencia

44:34
orban para reconocer que no fue una de sus peores ideas pero no se trata de eso
44:39
ahora sino de la noticia que decía que orbán se reunió con Putin chi Trump el
44:45
presidente ucraniano selenski con quien se reunió primero simplemente se omita
44:50
eso rompía la fila losos Así que simplemente lo dej fuera
45:00
que una

solución qué se puede esperar de putini y Trump tal vez esto porque muestra

46:25
2 actualmente no se puede hablar de Rusia y Ucrania sin mencionar el despliegue de misiles en Alemania
46:32
previsto para 2026 algunos están firmemente convencidos de que esto aumentará
46:38
nuestra seguridad otros creen que ocurre lo contrario no les sorprenderá que yo
46:43
sea de los que consideran estos planes como una peligrosa escalada a continuación me gustaría explicar por
46:50
qué el tema del despliegue tiene al menos dos aspectos uno técnico militar o de seguridad y otro democr
46:58
comenzaré con el aspecto
47:06
democrático en la doble decisión de la otan de 1979 cuando se trataba del despliegue de misiles de alcance en
47:12
medio en Europa no solo en Alemania hubo un intenso debate parlamentario y social
47:19
incluso dentro de la otan se discutió de manera controvertida pasaron 4 años Hasta que el parlamento aprobó el
47:25
despliegue de los acompañado de Las mayores manifestaciones que Alemania haya
47:31
experimentado hoy la situación es diferente de manera sorprendente al
47:36
margen de la Cumbre de la otá el 10 de julio en Washington se publica una declaración conjunta de Estados Unidos y
47:43
Alemania en ella se afirma que los Estados Unidos de América a partir de
47:48
2026
47:55
estacionarnos Alemania como parte de la planificación para su futura estación
48:08
permanente estas unidades convencionales incluirán sm6 tomahawks y armas
48:14
hipersónicas actualmente en desarrollo cuando estén completamente desarrolladas Estas armas tienen un
48:21
alcance significativamente mayor que los sistemas terrestres actuales en Europa sin embargo esta decisión de Gran
48:28
alcance no se menciona en la declaración final de la Cumbre de la otan en su lugar se enfatiza la disposición de la
48:34
otan para el control de armamentos y el desarme eso es bastante curioso aparte
48:39
de que no hubo ni realmente hay un debate sobre esta decisión de despliegue surgen varias preguntas por qué esta vez
48:46
solo en
48:55
Alemania de los años 80 si no me equivoco se estacionaron persings en cinco países europeos diferentes quién
49:03
tiene Entonces el mando solo los Estados Unidos tiene Alemania al menos un veto o
49:09
los misiles solo están en nuestro territorio y hay algo más aunque se da
49:14
la impresión de que se trata de una decisión conjunta al examinarlo más de cerca se revela algo completamente
49:20
diferente el colega wolfgang lep ha recopilado meticulosamente los detalles exactos eso lo puede encontrar en
49:26
Internet pero ahora le mencionaré aproximadamente los hechos correspondientes Ya bajo Obama el premio
49:33
Nobel de la paz los Estados Unidos decidieron en principio por un estacionamiento de este
49:46
tipo a partir de 2017 bajo Trump se comenzó a construir una estructura de unidad militar del ejército de Estados
49:53
Unidos y ese es el punto crucial desde el 13 abril de 2021 mucho antes del
49:59
ataque ruso a Ucrania se están llevando a cabo los preparativos concretos se
50:04
decidió estacionar una de las cinco fuerzas de tarea multidominio en wis baden En otras palabras y ahora cito al
50:11
colega lib se trató de una decisión unilateral de Estados Unidos preparada
50:16
mucha antelación la vinculación con el ataque ruso a Ucrania sirve más bien para con el miedo a Putin paralizar o
50:24
impedir un debate público
50:34
no hay nada que Añadir a eso solo puedo recomendar el artículo detallado si
50:39
ahora cambiamos de perspectiva y consideramos todo desde el punto de vista de Moscú se vuelve interesante con
50:46
las armas hipersónicas que alcanzan una velocidad 17 veces superior a la del sonido el tiempo de advertencia se
50:52
reduce drásticamente qué se deduce estratégicamente Moscú entiende esto en la actual
50:59
situación tensa como una medida defensiva de occidente o más bien como una preparación para un ataque
51:13
sorpresa y si se espera eso no sería mejor desde el punto de vista de Moscú actuar preventivamente en contra ya sea
51:21
de manera preventiva o como represalia ocurrirá en un área densamente poblada de alem
51:27
ya En 1968 un experto militar del SPD señaló en un libro que los sistemas basados en
51:33
tierra deberían estar en Alaska Groenlandia o en algún desierto pero ciertamente no en áreas densamente
51:39
pobladas en cualquier caso Cómo esta acción debería aumentar
51:45
nuestra seguridad
51:51
[Aplausos]
52:02
francamente tampoco entiendo por la gente aquí no sale más a la calle para protestar contra
52:10
[Aplausos]
52:20
esto la generación joven para la La Paz aparu alio
52:26
en el cambio climático que ya no queda espacio para el tema de la guerra y la paz sin embargo debería quedar claro
52:33
para para todos si la paz no funciona especialmente ante las armas nucleares
52:40
Entonces el clima también deja de importar
52:45
[Aplausos]
52:59
es difícil terminar positivamente con este tema sin embargo quiero intentarlo
53:04
si recordamos lo que es posible en términos de política de distención solo tenemos que pensar en el comienzo de la
53:10
nueva política Oriental alemana esta comenzó inmediatamente después de que la unión soviética reprima brutalmente el
53:17
movimiento democrático en Checoslovaquia En 1968 se podría haber dicho que no
53:23
hablaríamos con ellos o como se dice hoy no se debe hablar con ese tipo de
53:28
personas debemos darles una lección para algo así no quede impune Pero precisamente Entonces es cuando se debe
53:35
hablar el resultado de la nueva política Oriental es conocido durante décadas
53:41
Solo hubo ventajas para todos involucrados tanto humanitarias como económicas debemos volver a eso
53:54
[Aplausos]
54:06
y cualquiera que esté convencido de ello no debería esconder su opinión a veces puede ser incómodo lo sé tampoco se
54:13
puede descartar que te metan rápidamente en una categoría en la que no perteneces pero eso no debería detenerte quizás
54:20
ayude la frase del humorista Andreas rers si digo algo correcto que le gusta
54:26
a gente equivocada eso no hace que lo correcto sea automáticamente incorrecto ahora lo formé de manera un
54:33
poco solemne le debemos a nuestro sistema Si queremos preservarlo a
54:38
nuestro sistema democrático no ocultar nuestra opinión sea cual sea deberíamos
54:44
hacer todo lo posible para que esta opinión se base en la mayor medida posible en información y no en
54:49
convicciones ideológicamente condicionadas
55:01
una sociedad que Con razón está orgullosa de su libertad de expresión garantizada constitucionalmente debe

fomentar una cultura de debate de lo contrario la libertad de expresión garantizada teóricamente no sirve de

I’ll make it clear (again):
My vote for Trump in November, and subsequent support, was predicted on a belief that Trump was serious about ending the threat of a nuclear war with Russia and bringing an end to the war in Ukraine.
On this the record is clear.
So far he has not disappointed.
Regarding the conflict in Gaza, the tension with Iran, and the unquestioning support of Israel, I was cautiously optimistic that he might be able to do the impossible.
On this he has disappointed.
But let me clear—my support of Trump never hinged on Middle East policy.
It always hinged on Russia. Because failure in the Middle East is a tragedy.
Failure with Russia is terminal.
So for all the people suffering from TDS who are critical of my continued support for Trump, pound sand.
I will be critical where needed, as I have proven time and time again.
But this man is poised to save us all from a nuclear Armageddon.
And for that he continues to earn my support and respect.
oooooo
I was, am, and will always be an advocate for peace over war.
Trump brokered a ceasefire, and appeared serious about implementing it.
He has now chosen the path of war. If your hatred for Trump prompts you to gloat because he has taken the same path as all Presidents in the modern era by blindly supporting Israel, then you are neither a supporter of peace nor a friend of the Palestinian people—you are simply one whose partisan politics has blinded them to the possibility of peace.
Saying “I told you so” is a meaningless gesture.
It means you’re comfortable with dead children because you viewed their deaths as an inevitability.
I had hoped that their deaths could have been avoided.
And I make no apologies for taking that position.
And I will continue to advocate for that position going forward.
oooooo
And, in one night of narcissistic megalomania, Donald Trump gave up the title peacemaker, exchanging it for warmonger, and put himself on the path of becoming America’s greatest loser.
America can’t be “great again” when the price of oil shoots through the roof.
And starting a war with Iran will go down in history as one of the worst self-inflicted wounds an American President ever committed.

Mar 18, 2025
The Russia House had a special guest, Maria Zakharova, the Spokeswoman of the Russian Foreign Ministry. What started as a classic interview turned into a remarkable conversation that touched on the very essence of the problems that exist today between Russia and the West, emphasizing the responsibility on the part of the West for these problems, and underscoring how important it is to overcome Russophobia if solutions to these problems are to be found.

Interview with Maria Zakharova
Mar 18, 2025
Classical conditioning holds that a neutral stimulus, when associated with a specific response, will over time become a conditioned stimuli which triggers a conditioned response. It’s basic cause-effect relationship analysis. Ivan Pavlov made it a household concept by studying the relationship between a dog’s salivation and the presence of food. “Pavlov’s response” is one thing when it is generated under controlled laboratory conditions. It’s another thing altogether when it occurs in “the wild”, where the impact of conditioned stimuli and its related conditional response often goes unnoticed in a world which overlooks these relationships until it is too late.
In the North End neighborhood of the city of Albany, a seedier section of the capital of New York State where old brick buildings dating back to the late 19th century stand in various states of disrepair, sits a four-ton, 28-foot-tall steel and fiberglass statue of a fox terrier named Nipper, the canine mascot of the Radio Corporation of America (RCA).
Nipper was one of four identical monumental terriers which were perched atop the regional distribution centers of RTA Corporation, an appliance distributor which specialized in RCA products; others graced the skylines of Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York City. Overtime, the other Nipper statues succumbed to time and waning economic fortune, their buildings being abandoned and eventually torn down, together with the statues. Only in Albany did Nipper live on, and in the process became an iconic landmark of the city itself, which has adopted Nipper as its unofficial de facto mascot.
Nipper is named after a fox terrier owned by Francis Barraud, an artist from Liverpool, England who, in 1898, upon seeing Nipper listening to a wind-up cylinder phonograph playing a recording of his owner’s voice (Barraud’s brother), captured the moment in a painting, “His Master’s Voice.” The painting later was used as the basis for trademarks of several companies, perhaps none more famous than RCA.
The cause-effect relationship between an owner’s voice and a pet dog is well known to anyone who has ever owned a dog—the master calls the dog’s name, and the dog responds by running to the sound of their master’s voice.
Dogs are conditioned to comprehend changes in the tone of their Master’s voice, knowing when the master is pleased or angry, and responding accordingly.
This is the byproduct of what is known as “classical conditioning”. Right about the time Nipper was captured tilting his head to the sound of his master’s voice, a Russian physiologist, Ivan Pavlov, was conducting research into the salivation of dogs. After inserting a small test tube into the mouths of his canine test subjects, the dogs were then fed with a special mix of powder made from meat. The experiment was predicated upon the assumption that dogs would salivate when presented with the food. But Pavlov soon discovered that the dogs began salivating when they heard the footsteps of his assistant down the hallway, who was bringing the food. Pavlov soon realized that stimuli that the dogs associated with food would trigger the same physiological reaction as the food itself—the classic “Pavlovian response.”
There are many scientific terms which came into being because of Pavlov’s work, and the work of psychologists who followed up on his findings. These are:
Neutral Stimulus (NS), a stimulus that initially does not elicit a particular response or reflex action. For example, in Pavlov’s experiment, the sound of his assistant’s footsteps was a neutral stimulus initially, as it did not cause the dogs to salivate.
Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS), a stimulus that naturally and automatically triggers a response without any learning needed. In Pavlov’s experiment, the food was the unconditioned stimulus as it automatically induced salivation in the dogs.
Conditioned Stimulus (CS), a previously neutral stimulus that, after being repeatedly associated with an unconditioned stimulus, trigger a conditioned response. For instance, in Pavlov’s experiment, the assistant’s footsteps became a conditioned stimulus when the dogs learned to associate it with food.
Conditioned Response (CR), a learned response to the conditioned stimulus. In Pavlov’s experiment, salivating in response to the assistant’s footsteps was the conditioned response.
Unconditioned Response (UR), an automatic, innate reaction to an unconditioned stimulus. In Pavlov’s experiment, the dogs’ automatic salivation in response to the food is an example of an unconditioned response.
According to Pavlovian theory, conditioned stimulus and conditioned response can occur in a vacuum, meaning that rather than being the byproduct of the intent of a laboratory experiment, the unpredictable reality of life can produce the same result, often without the subject realizing it.
Misophonia is a disorder where one has a decreased tolerance to specific sounds and things that can be sensed that are related to them. Misophonia is often triggered by post-traumatic stress. Many military veterans suffer from a form of misophonia; I, for instance, am triggered by the sound of helicopters.
We Americans like to see ourselves as happy go lucky people. An attribute that is often associated with Americans is their constant smile, and their willingness to engage in conversations with complete strangers as if they were life-long friends. While the United States is a diverse nation, possessing no single accent, the collective range of the American way of speaking is easily discernable as uniquely American, distinct from other forms of Anlo-Saxon linguistic expression.
Our speech has become a unique identifier and is often used to depict Americans when seeking to describe the “happy American” or the “ugly American”, and every variation of American in between. In movies American tourists are often identified by their uniquely American way of speech.
Using Pavlovian cues, the American voice, in and of itself, is a neutral stimulus.
Hunger, fear, anger, frustration, sadness.
These are emotions that can be triggered automatically by unconditional stimuli that are naturally seen as eliciting these emotions—the lack of food, war, altercations, loss.
Over time, if the unconditional responses which trigger the aforementioned range of emotions become linked to the sound of an American voice, then, according to Pavlov, we have achieved what is known as a conditioned response (the emotions) triggered by a conditioned stimulus (the sound of an American voice.)
So here is a Pavlovian experiment for my fellow Americans to consider:
We give voice to positions, ideas, and concepts using our unique way of speaking.
These positions, ideas, and concepts are heavily influenced by Russophobia, resulting in actions that produce events and actions inside Russia capable of triggering emotions which are the logical byproduct of unconditioned responses.
Over time, the people of Russia come to associate the sound of an American voice articulating these positions, ideas, and concepts with the events and actions which generate these negative emotions.
In short, the Russian people have developed a Misophonic reaction to the sound of our voice.
Think about it.
We are trying hard to repair relations between Russia and the United States.
We are trying to reach out to the Russian people to convince them that we are able and willing to live together in peace and harmony.
But the very sound of our voice triggers a response that is repulsive to the Russians.
We are our own worst enemies.
There are mixed opinions on whether a conditioned response can ever be disassociated with a conditioned stimulus.
In short, this means the sound of an American voice may always be found to be repulsive by Russians of the current generation.
We Americans need to do better.
We need to think of Nipper, and his adorable tilt of the head, and understand that the depiction we find so endearing was born of a conditioned response to a conditioned stimulus based upon love.
If we can’t get the current generation of Russians to stop recoiling at the sound of our voices, then let us try to ensure that future generations of Russians will not have the same conditioned response.
The problem isn’t the Russian people.
The problem is us.
We need to do better.
We need to start viewing the Russian people as people deserving of respect, admiration, friendship, and love.
If we can do this, then we are creating a conditioned stimulus which is capable of producing a conditioned response, in short, a situation where the Russian people look forward to hearing, seeing, and meeting their American counterparts.
Because, at the end of the day, it is not about the sound of their voices that matters as much as the intent behind the sound.
The Russia House had a special guest, Maria Zakharova, the Spokeswoman of the Russian Foreign Ministry. What started as a classic interview turned into a remarkable conversation that touched on the very essence of the problems that exist today between Russia and the West, emphasizing the responsibility on the part of the West for these problems, and underscoring how important it is to overcome Russophobia if solutions to these problems are to be found.

BREAKING: Britain Plans to Deploy Peacekeepers in Ukraine Indefinitely
The Times reports that the UK is preparing to send up to 10,000 troops to Ukraine under a long-term peacekeeping mission, with no clear exit strategy. According to sources in London, the British military contingent will remain for years, tasked with “maintaining the peace agreement” and “containing Russia.”
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has reportedly secured the backing of several countries for this plan, raising serious questions about the true nature of this “peacekeeping” force.
Peacekeeping, or occupation?

Scott Ritter | Ukraine Will Surrender: Trump Manuevers To End Ukraine War
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnq-d6dJaS0)
Transkripzioa:
0:00
there we are we’re joined by the one and only Scott Ritter scott Ritter is a ma weapons of mass destruction
0:06
whistleblower um Scott welcome to the show man how you doing today you doing
0:11
all right i’m doing great thanks yourself i am doing great and I am super curious on your take on everything that
0:18
has been taking place over the last I don’t know 30-day ceasefire Putin’s
0:24
response to the ceasefire how do you how do you view this because
0:31
I think we may slightly disagree um which is great i I don’t want this to be an echo chamber but give me your take on
0:37
this um Trump comes out sends Rubio Walls uh uh what is it called wiskoff um
0:44
over to negotiate they with Ukraine i found that to be very weird but whatever they come
0:51
back with a 30-day ceasefire that was dead on arrival since it was already told We don’t want that we’re not going
0:58
to accept that you guys are being routed in Kursk you guys are being pushed back on a 2,000 km front why would we accept
1:05
a ceasefire this is going to be a no they put it out knowing it was going to be a no putin responds effectively
1:12
saying “Okay well look um there are things in this we want to end this war
1:17
but and we’re open to this but there are things in this that of course need to change the assurances associated with it
1:24
which effectively allows an open door for further negotiations that I would imagine are going to take place how do
1:30
you view this i saw your social media posts you weren’t happy about Trump’s uh 30-day ceasefire give me your take on
1:36
all this well let me just start off by um my wife often tells me that um when I see
1:44
breaking news that the because she reminds me that once upon a time I was a professional analyst um a pretty damn
1:51
good one whose briefings were done to the Secretary General of the United Nations to fourstar generals commanders
1:57
and chief uh the president of the United States um and I had a very good reputation of uh being sober of um of
2:06
getting it right all the time that’s why they relied upon me um and but one of
2:12
the beauties of back then is we didn’t have social media so normally when um you got a piece of information you could
2:19
excuse yourself go into the bathroom kick a trash can head smash a window then step back and go “All right what do
2:26
we got here?” And then come back in and then get back to the sober business but you know now I have social media and so
2:33
I see something and immediately normally too I wake up in the morning like I did this morning i was very disciplined this
2:38
morning i’m very proud of myself but I grab my phone and I I go through scroll through and normally that’s that’s when
2:44
I start putting out so if you look at the time of my response that’s when it was happening and it’s early morning so
2:50
I’m not actually fully you know alert and I start tweeting um and it’s an
2:58
honest tweet it’s it’s an honest reflection of how I’m feeling at the moment but generally speaking when you
3:04
do a knee-jerk um social media post of that nature uh it’s probably not the
3:09
most uh balanced assessment um and it’s not one that um you know allows you to
3:15
take that step back and say “Okay let’s look at the bigger picture here.”
3:21
Um and I’ll also be honest that uh trying to follow Trump’s logic sometimes
3:27
for especially for a person that’s very logic oriented myself is a um is a journey down the rabbit hole i mean it’s
3:33
like chasing Alice you’re just like what the hell’s going on i have no idea the rabbit here this that uh um but when I
3:40
took a step back first of all let’s let’s set this up
3:45
my tweets were a result of looking at Riad in a in a vacuum that was my
3:51
mistake um you never look at anything in a vacuum as if I I evaluated that tweet
3:58
as if the Rubio Waltz meeting with Yermac and the Ukrainians was was the
4:03
meeting that was it but when I took a step back I wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute that’s not the meeting
4:11
it’s a nothing burger it’s literally nothing we we have to go backwards we
4:17
have to go back and say “Wait Trump’s already had the talk with Putin.” I mean if you look at Riad is re is Rubio
4:24
talking with the air and you treat it as if that’s it then you forget the fact that Trump already had a 90-minute
4:31
conversation with Putin and then you also forget the fact that why is Yermack
4:36
the head of the Ukrainian delegation and Zalinsky isn’t zullinski is in Saudi Arabia meeting with the crown prince
4:44
he’s the president of Ukraine he’s the commanderin-chief but he’s not at the
4:49
negotiating table why oh yeah the United States refused to let him negotiate well
4:55
that’s sort of an important fact that the Ukrainian negotiating team doesn’t include the president because the United
5:01
States says we don’t want to talk to him why because he’s an irrational cocainefueled maniac
5:08
oh that’s relevant too so we have Putin already talking to Trump we have the
5:13
Russians already laying out their perspectives we have the Trump
5:18
administration agreeing with 90% of the Russian perspective especially on the
5:25
major issues of the day such as Ukraine will never be a member of NATO that’s an
5:31
important fact because right after the Rubio agreement in quotations Zalinsky
5:37
came out and said “You can’t tell us we can’t be a member of NATO.” Well geez that sort of means
5:43
that you you’re not serious about this negotiation and they’re not um we also
5:49
have to remember what happened immediately after this negotiation happened
5:54
the immediate explosion on social media of every leader in Europe going “We love
6:01
ceasefires we think this is the greatest thing since sliced bread and the ball is
6:07
in Putin’s court.” That’s the key phrase the ball is in Putin because that’s what
6:12
Marco Rubio said now when you see something like this where somebody comes out and says something that immediately
6:18
the same sentiment is echoed that isn’t spontaneous because you statistic stat
6:24
statistically speaking you can’t get that many highle people on their own vition to go wow Marco Rubio is a genius
6:32
give me my give me my my phone I love ceasefires the balls in Putin’s court
6:37
boom and they all say the same thing there’s always going to be some nuance this means that this was coordinated
6:44
ated in advance that what happened in Riad was a foregone conclusion then you
6:50
have to ask yourself why was the European response consistent
6:56
that’s another thing a sober analyst will say is this consistent with the European wait a minute it’s not just
7:02
inconsistent it’s 180 degrees inconsistent because right before the meeting in Riad Europe was saying the
7:09
following we need to humble Russia on the battlefield there can be no
7:17
ceasefire we must defeat Russia on the battlefield that was the statement of
7:22
everybody in Europe and suddenly ceasefires are wonderful and the balls
7:27
in Putin’s court this was a trap set by
7:32
Trump to trap Europe into accepting the process of ceasefire something that they
7:38
had because prior to that they were talking about mobilizing you know all of Europe uh the British were we have to
7:44
draft people right now um you know Vanderland 800 billion euros need to be mo you know generated right now we need
7:51
to do this we need to do that we need to we have to humble the Russians on the battlefield that’s literally a quote we
7:58
must humble the Russians on the battlefield no ceasefire and suddenly they’re all saying a ceasefire the balls
8:05
in Putin’s court so again you trap Europe into accepting a process that
8:12
leads to a ceasefire because it is a process you can’t say we are dictating to Russia they didn’t say we’re
8:18
dictating to Russia they said the balls in Putin’s court that implies a
8:24
game you just volley the ball over to Putin so now Whitov flies to Moscow as
8:31
Putin receives the serve and did Putin say “We’re not playing the game.” Throw down his racket
8:37
and walk off the court nope putin went “Game on baby here comes your serve.”
8:43
And we send it back to you saying “We love this game we think ceasefires are
8:48
beautiful.” You know and we’d be willing to do it today but we have some questions how are we going to monitor
8:54
this i mean is it really a ceasefire to an end of a conflict what about arm shipments things like that we We’d love
9:02
to do this baby we want to do it right now right now we’d love to have a ceasefire but we can’t because there’s
9:08
no details balls back in your court and that’s what happened here that’s what
9:14
happened this is a process this is a game and we have to remember that while the United States would love this to be
9:20
a game between the US and Russia with Ukraine sitting on the sideline we’re happy to do that we have the European
9:28
factor let’s take another step back as all analysts must do and say “What are
9:34
we talking about here?” I mean to give you an example in the military if I’m focused on Hill
9:40
861 right Ritter take Hill 861 good yes sir we’re going to take Hill 861
9:45
marine’s going to We’re taking Hill 861 marines are dying damn take 861 take
9:51
it take it take it take it cuz I was ordered to take it and then I go “Oh I’m dying we’re all dying.” Then I asked the
9:58
question why are we taking Hill 861 i should have listened to my commander because what he really said is we need
10:05
to cut off communications to Highway 6 we have to keep the enemy from going over Highway 6 and Hill 861 is a
10:12
dominating height that can allow us to have fire control over Highway 6 so
10:18
let’s take 861 but I can’t the enemy is too dug in if I continue to go after 861
10:25
not only am I going to die on 861 I’m not cutting Highway 6 but if I step back and go wait my job is to cut Highway 6
10:32
not take 861 maybe I can find another way to cut Highway 6 that doesn’t result in all of
10:38
my Marines dying um that’s So you got to take a step back and look at the broader
10:43
picture i agree with you by the way i agree with everything you just I agree with everything you just said but you
10:49
said we didn’t agree yeah well because I thought you were gonna basically put a knife in no no no but but but I’ll just
10:56
say the big picture here is America disentangling itself from Europe and a
11:02
key element to that the first step but not the only step is to bring it into the conflict uh in Ukraine but the
11:08
second step the the master step the highway you know cutting highway 61 or
11:14
highway 6 thing is there has to be peace between Europe and Russia this isn’t
11:21
just about ending the conflict in in Ukraine there has to be peaceful coexistence between Europe and Russia
11:27
before the United States can withdraw we don’t win the game by having peace in
11:32
Ukraine pulling out and having Europe and Russia doing this because we’re still entangled in that so the big
11:38
picture is how to get Europe and Russia to come together which is why it was
11:44
essential to trap Europe into the peace process to get Europe off the track of
11:50
we have to humble Russia on the battlefield that’s not good for American policy we accept a ceasefire that’s good
11:57
for American policy and so there’s the European factor that plays into this
12:02
that complicates things and we have to give Trump credit for
12:08
early on in this process getting the Europe sucked into the ceasefire thing
12:13
you know I’m not saying that Trump is perfect i’m not saying that his methodologies are the methodologies that
12:19
are out of you know diplomacy 101 as taught in Georgetown um it’s not this is
12:25
Trump world it’s a whole new game but when you take a step back and you have a
12:30
sober assessment of what’s going on we are on the path towards a comprehensive
12:36
piece we are on the path towards a comprehensive peace we have not achieved
12:42
a comprehensive peace that’s down the road but they’re talking one of the key
12:48
things in diplomacy is that you continue to talk the Russians didn’t pack their
12:53
bags and go home the Americans didn’t pack their bags and go home there’s open lines of communication and it’s towards
12:58
a commonly accepted objective of a ceasefire so I’m cautiously optimistic
13:06
um you know in in in all of this uh it’s not perfect but it was never going to be perfect this is a very very difficult
13:12
problem yeah i I guess my thing is I agree with you i agree with you fully on
13:19
this that this is theater on some level and a lot of it is theater there’s an
13:24
underlying thing of okay well we have our priorities those priorities need to be met if we can get ceasefire and
13:32
negotiations then that’s what we want anyway and we’ll pursue those negotiations while we continue to
13:37
destroy the Ukrainian military on the battlefield until we get to a line that we like and then okay um let’s settle
13:44
this right like and I also take it as you need to bring a horse to the water
13:50
which is Ukraine you need something somebody some legal entity in Ukraine to sign a document saying fair enough we
13:57
surrender and the catch is when you have Zinsky going rogue okay how do you bring
14:03
a horse that is went to the rider and had them to pass a law saying we won’t
14:08
negotiate you got to get that guy to negotiate meaning Trump and I don’t know
14:13
how you impose that as opposed to let’s come up with a process to get Ukraine
14:18
saying okay we’re okay with the ceasefire in which case Russia comes back with this is a no but we’re open to
14:25
negotiations okay well the person who said they couldn’t negotiate is now
14:30
stuck in a negotiation process that they said they were never going to be involved in so I I agree with you I I
14:36
guess I guess more complicated than that because they’re not stuck in a negotiation process the Ukrainians have
14:42
said “We’re not negotiating.” I mean even after Riad if you look at all the statements that come out no we’re not
14:49
doing that we’re not doing that we’re not doing that we’re not so what Ukraine has done has defined themselves as the
14:55
problem and this is another beauty of this process the Russians are willing to talk the Americans are willing to talk
15:02
the Europeans are anxious to hear what this conversation is and Ukraine Zalinsky said “We’re not willing to do
15:07
any of this.” uh 2014 borders Crimea comes back to us we will be a member of
15:13
NATO you can’t do this and they basically have isolated themselves which again is I think part of the Trump
15:19
strategy and I predict that Zillinsky won’t be president in the next two weeks
15:25
that he has been isolated as the problem and the Ukrainians are going to be told
15:31
um if you don’t fix this problem understand that we’re going to finish
15:37
this thing and we’re going to make all the decisions and it’s going to be imposed on you if you want to be at the table get rid of that thing and bring
15:44
something in here that’s willing to sit down and do this responsibly but Zalinski has basically self-destructed
15:52
as a as a result of this process um he was kept out of Riad um then they the
15:58
the Ukrainian negotiating team um left the door open to things that Zalinsky has now turned around and slammed the
16:04
door to um we know for a fact that there’s the United States itself will
16:10
not commit to a peace agreement where we demand that Ukraine be allowed to join NATO because we know that the Russians
16:16
will never allow that that’s Zalinsk’s thing um you know we can go down the the the list zalinsky has basically opted
16:23
out of everything the United States has already reached agreement with Russia on so he is the problem there’s already
16:30
talk inside Kiev that they are going to get rid of him and replace him with
16:35
something else and I think that was an important part of this process as well yeah financial Times is reporting that
16:41
Zolinsky is on his last days the Trump administration has been apparently reaching out to elements in Ukraine to
16:48
find their man for this and and I’m saying it their man because at the end of the day as you pointed out they need
16:55
to have somebody who signed a document it can’t be Zinsky um Zilinski has gone
17:00
rogue he has effectively repudiated everything that the US had effectively agreed on um and a statement I I have a
17:07
clip of him coming out saying we’re not giving up anything we’re not recognizing any of this stuff okay that is different
17:15
he was but but he was consiliatory this morning i was very impressed that he uh he woke up and he said as a good faith
17:20
measure we’re going to withdraw from Kursk you sniffed some good stuff this
17:27
morning you didn’t just get the the white powder that got you going you put some magic mushrooms in that thing oh
17:33
that is horrible that is horrible yeah okay they can try they’re
17:39
in circle good luck with that um good luck with They’re voluntarily doing it as a good good faith gesture yeah yeah
17:46
that’s what they’re going to call it just running you know with their arms shooting at them yeah we’re where
17:51
We’re withdrawn from Stalingrad good faith gesture good faith stalin do you expect political
17:59
instability in Ukraine meaning it basically an implosion of the government
18:05
like because you’re right it seems like Sinsky is on his last days so what does it mean that he’s on his last days
18:13
well there’s definitely a um Ukraine is going to have to go
18:18
through a major major uh redefining process um whether it’s
18:26
done you know on their own vition or it’s imposed I think it’s going to be a combination of the two but the um
18:34
Zalinsky is a byproduct the modern iteration of the Zillinsky government is a byproduct of the disease of ultraism
18:41
in Ukraine the the banderist ideology the West is slowly waking up to the fact
18:47
that they have a Ukraine problem and it’s called Nazis um it it’s just it’s
18:52
real um and the Ukrainian society appears to be
19:00
recognized they the one of the you know the the European again everything’s hap
19:05
nothing happens in a vacuum everything happens you know things start to come in
19:10
alignment you just had the European court um find that Ukraine was
19:16
responsible for the horrific murders that took place in Odessa in 2014 May uh
19:22
the murder of 84 or 48 uh Russians and uh you know injured to 250 others they
19:29
you know they threw in their throwaway thing well the Russian propaganda this that and the other okay but let’s get to
19:34
the facts they were murdered by Ukrainian nationalists by Nazis one of the ring leaders of this a guy named
19:40
Gamush or Gamu or something of that nature um who was in Odessa you know hijacking men and putting them on buses
19:47
never went to the front line himself because most Nazis are cowards um was
19:53
assassinated um on the streets guy just walked up popped him twice in the head killed him
19:59
um and I think the reason why is that Ukraine is going to start purging itself
20:04
of the cancer of uh Ukrainian ultraism
20:10
um especially in the east um you know and in places like Odessa Kardov uh
20:16
Nepro and places where these um these ultras the you know there was a sickness
20:22
in Ukraine lead that that that predates um you know the the the 2014 Maidon um
20:30
and ultra nationalism wasn’t just defined by the banderists in the west but by these soccer hooligans these
20:38
right-wing um you know soccer clubs that that just went violent in card club etc uh they
20:44
have become the heart in fact when you look at the AOV battalion which started as AO battalion
20:50
went to a brigade and now it’s you know third assault and there’s other things u many of their original members didn’t
20:56
come from Lavau or or the west they came from Cardov they came from the east
21:02
they’re many of them are Russian speakers who have uh because of the economic collapse of of Ukraine and the
21:09
corruption they formed these clubs of ultraists um who have taken on it’s it’s
21:16
like what happened in Russia in the 1990s early 1990s in the suburb of Lubbertzy uh you had these weightlifting
21:23
clubs of Russian youth that because there was a lost society a lost
21:28
generation um central authority went down the e the So they’re in the weight rooms lifting weights shirts off shaving
21:35
their heads and next thing you know they’re putting swastikas on their arm you’re like “Wait you’re a
21:40
Russian scal putting a slastica on your arm.” How does that happen it happens
21:46
because society has totally collapsed and and you know you get these vacuums
21:51
of insanity well that happened in Cardov and elsewhere um these are going to have to be purged uh they they can’t be they
21:58
can’t be part of postconlict Ukraine and so I think what you’re seeing is the
22:04
beginnings of a recognition on the part of normal Ukrainians saying we we need
22:11
to get rid of this cancer and I think that that’s going to come from every aspect of Ukrainian society as they seek
22:18
to isolate this this cancer of ultra nationalism and then I think a
22:24
postconlict settlement uh because remember one of the Russians preconditions for for conflict
22:29
termination is denazification um and so there will be there’s going to have to be a new government zalinski has
22:36
to go and there may be you know interim if you if you remember when when Hitler
22:42
um popped himself in the head um you know there were the Nazi regime
22:47
continued for a few days and there was you know Admiral Donuts who took over the head you had Himmler trying to be the head but you know basically it comes
22:55
down to this uh Hitler killed himself general Krebs went to General Chuikov in Berlin and said we would like to
23:01
negotiate the terms of the surrender of Berlin and Chuikov went sign the piece
23:06
of paper there is no negotiation you don’t get to set any terms the war is
23:12
over you can sign and live you cannot sign and die and that’s the situation
23:19
we’re going to end up in um and I think one of the reasons why the United States is buying into a process is that it
23:25
allows for additional clarity on the battlefield you alluded this earlier in the statement you know for instance
23:31
Russia could not enter into a ceasefire uh where the forces stopped as long as
23:37
Ukrainians were in Kursk that’s not happen uh so I I I mean I don’t know if
23:43
it’s going to be today tomorrow later this week well Kursk is going to be purged and the Russians are going to push forward and create a a buffer zone
23:49
in Sunumi um and now we have the interesting thing where the Russians have even more Ukrainian land to give
23:55
back in a negotiation if that’s what they want to do and on the Eastern Front you’re seeing I mean Putin and Gasimov
24:02
alluded to it uh we’re going to have more encirclements soon on the Eastern front as Ukrainian position collapses
24:09
they have no manpower left and the Russians will start encircling and driving them back even further you’re
24:15
going to see a more rapid um the collapse of the Ukrainian defense and as this war goes on you’re going to find by
24:22
the end of this month you know a lot of the issues of um you know well the Ukrainians have to return land are going
24:28
to be resolved because the Russians will already have the land um and if this continues on into the summer Russia will
24:36
get all of the land and more um and I think that’s the point that many of the
24:41
Ukrainians who aren’t named Zolinsky are waking up to that uh you
24:46
know the longer we wait the the worse the outcome is going to be that the the sooner we acknowledge certain realities
24:53
like Russia is going to get everything that the the Russian constitution says belongs to them um the the sooner we can
25:00
bring this war to an end but if we continue to hold on to the fantasy that’s we can somehow dictate an outcome
25:05
that reverses reality on the battlefield it’s just going to get worse and worse and worse and worse so um you know
25:12
there’s again we’re in a process um and the fact that the United
25:18
States has committed to a process means
25:23
implicitly that we support Russia defining battlefield reality more
25:30
clearly um because it makes our job easier as a negotiation uh it you know
25:35
imagine being an American negotiator at the table trying to deal with Kursk with Ukrainian troops in Kursk
25:42
it’s such a reality you can’t just throw that chip away you got to tell the Russians well you don’t own Kursk uh so
25:48
what are you going to give us for Kursk if we tell the Ukrainians to get out of Kursk what are you going to give us for Kursk that’s just negotiation 101 we
25:55
don’t get to say that anymore we go well you guys own Kursk so I guess we’re not talking about Kursk anymore but not sumi
26:02
now you guys have gone into Sunumi you’re 25 kilometers deep in a buffer zone we’d like to get your troops out of
26:08
Sumi what do you need to get out of SE it’s been reversed now the Russians are the ones saying you know we got your
26:15
territory what do you want to get it back um and I I think that is the kind
26:21
of leverage and pressure that needs to be placed on the Ukrainians they can’t live in this artificial construct where
26:27
they believe they have a say this is like the Japanese um going up to the battleship Missouri uh saying “You know
26:36
before we sit down and sign this document we’d like to get your troops off of Okinawa can you guys leave
26:42
Okinawa please and we’re like no we just took it we’re not getting rid of back
26:48
we’re not gonna get it back for decades maybe never you’re gonna have Marines on Okinawa forever um but my point is you
26:55
don’t get to negotiate when you’ve lost the war and right now the Ukrainians are under operating under the perception
27:01
that um that they haven’t lost the war that there’s still hope and I think
27:06
unfortunately we’ve got to deflate that hope but uh balloon how do they believe
27:12
there’s hope in this situation like this seems delusional to me they are being
27:18
routed and there are going to be major psychological consequences once KUSK is fully clear and they realize oh my god
27:26
we’ve lost what 70,000 people in the schools are in um where the expectations
27:32
and the objectives were unclear that is astonishing to me i I gotta be honest the number of people that have lost
27:38
their lives just in Kursk alone is just mind-blowing um and they
27:44
continue to put forces or the very least they tried to keep going as as long as they could on this i want to go to
27:50
Europe for a bit i I am fascinated with the freakout that is taking place in
27:56
Europe right now you pointed to all of those tweets that ball is in Russia’s court ball is in Russia’s court
28:03
how does Trump believe he is going to get these lunatics online and just to
28:08
show you one this is one of your favorites Kier Star listen to what he says it again this is fully delusional
28:15
but this is what is coming out of Europe it’s astonishing but we know some basics putin’s appetite for conflict and for
28:22
chaos uh is already there and it will only grow and Russia is already menacing our skies
28:29
our waters our streets and our national security and that’s why I believe the
28:35
fundamental task of politics right now is to take the tough decisions on
28:41
security what is he talking about russia is menacing the streets of Europe what is
28:49
he talking This this is the the scripple um you know Novachuk uh chemical attack
28:56
that they’ve uh alleged and the Russians have come straight out and said we had nothing to do with it you made it all up
29:04
um why don’t you come clean why don’t you present us with the the the the the
29:10
scripple family you know the people we’re trying to kill with the world’s most deadly chemical agent Novachuk um
29:16
you touch it and you apparently vap vaporize it’s just like boom boom it’s like a Marvel movie um I’m being
29:22
facitious here but it’s supposed to be the most dangerous substance in the world and yet both the the husband and
29:28
the the father and the daughter lived but they’ve never brought them in to talk no tests uh everything’s done in
29:34
secret this is the same stuff that went in Noni’s underwear you know and uh didn’t kill him either um it it’s just
29:41
manufactured crap out of uh out of England england just so people know and I’ve dealt with MI6 and I’ve dealt with
29:47
British intelligence and the British mentality they make stuff up they just That’s what they live to do it’s all
29:54
about deception it’s just deception dear boy yes it’s a it’s a game of trying to create an alternative reality that
30:01
shapes the facts for the other side so that they do things that we then can exploit i said “So you’re lying.” Well
30:08
boy we don’t like to call it a lie like to call it an alternative viewpoint
30:14
based upon facts that simply don’t exist so it’s a lie i mean the British are
30:19
liars straight up liars across the board they can’t tell the truth there’s what I’m going to say i’m sorry to my British
30:25
colleagues you’re incapable of telling the truth you can throw the similar accusation back at us but I’m telling
30:31
you right now as an American I’ll at least admit when we tell a lie you can’t admit it because you’re liars you’re
30:37
born liars you can’t tell the truth and everything Starmer said there is a manufactured narrative remember the
30:44
British are the ones that went “Oh dear we need weapons of mass destruction uh
30:49
out of Iraq why don’t we just call up the Telegraph and tell them wrote a a
30:55
headline that says that Saddam Hussein can fire chemical weapons against
31:00
England within 45 minutes and they will put out a dodgy dossier.” And I know the guy who wrote the dodgy dossier and I’ve
31:06
talked to him about it what the hell were you doing well Scott we had to get something out there to shape the nar you
31:12
lied and we went to war and what I really hate the British for and I’ll look you in every single Brit in the eye
31:17
4,000 Americans died because of you you You’re the ones who could have stopped this you could have stood up to George
31:24
Bush you had your guys sitting there when George Bush said “Well we got we got WMD and we got to fix the narrative
31:30
to WD.” The Brit could have went “No we’re not going to lie there you You’ve made a case and you don’t have the facts
31:36
we’re not going to war over this madeup case but they didn’t they went “Sure we’ll put out the dodgy dossier we’ll
31:42
lie because that’s what we do better than anybody we lie.” Kirst Starmer is sitting there lying through his teeth
31:49
the the Russians aren’t in the streets of London they’re not in the airs over England they’re not in the waters off
31:55
yes Russian ships go through the English Channel so does everybody else kier Starmer is a liar and he But the other
32:03
thing is is he’s a failed politician i don’t know how he’s see what happens
32:08
when politicians look at their career collapsing as they try to create external threats because the last thing
32:16
you want the British doing right now is looking at the exact at the at the disaster that their country has become a
32:23
disaster it is crumbling it’s I’d be embarrassed to wake up in the morning call myself an Englishman um it’s an
32:29
embarrassment and you’ve you’ve you’ve brought in these politicians who are incapable of solving the problems of
32:35
British society so what are they doing right now why is Starmer talking about going to war with Russia a war that the
32:42
75,000 strong British army wouldn’t survive the first week and he’s saying
32:47
“We’re going to mobilize everybody.” Well wait a minute why don’t you show that same enthusiasm for solving you
32:53
know getting the British trains to run on time or getting the health system up or doing all the other things that
32:58
aren’t happening in England but you’re saying “No we have to mobilize and we don’t care about anything else except confronting Russia in a conflict that
33:07
there’s no logical predicate for there’s no reason for England to be going to war with Russia other than the domestic
33:13
problems of England.” And that’s what’s happening here starmer is insane but
33:19
this is all of Europe like it’s not just him every one of those goof boss that wrote the ball is in Russia’s court is
33:25
acting and saying very similar things as Stormer in this situation i guess my
33:30
thing is Trump as you pointed out he is trying to get a new European security architecture it’s not just about Ukraine
33:37
it’s about what does Europe and Russia look like into the foreseeable future and how do we set something up where in
33:46
you know five years 10 years we’re not back in the situation where NATO and Russia are nearly at loggerheads again y
33:54
how do you do that with goofballs like this well I think this is part of the
34:00
process again this is taking a step back and now we come into the other difficult part of professional an analysis is
34:08
doing predictive analysis you see bosses don’t just want to hear about what’s going on now well thank you Scott i can
34:15
read the map too okay Bob tell me how the arrows are going to move in two
34:20
weeks where are we going to be in two weeks now we’re in trouble because now you want me to get the crystal ball and
34:26
look into the future oh I get it this is dangerous look in the not as hard as you think and I’ll
34:33
tell you why if you’re able to step back and reverse engineer where we are now
34:41
and identify the dots that got us there then put those dots on a reverse trajectory and then follow those dots up
34:50
to where we are and now logically project those dots you see now it’s not
34:56
you’re just not making stuff up now there’s a process of analysis where you are now looking at the trajectory it’s
35:02
look looking at a ship if I’m on a ship and we have built up a head of steam and
35:08
we’re moving in this direction and the captain turns to me and says “Scott where are we going to be in 50 minutes?”
35:16
Well boss we’re on a ship it’s got certain mass certain trajectory we’re
35:21
headed in that direction my prediction is we’re going to be about 50 kilometers straight ahead well Scott now I’ve put a
35:28
little bit of right rudder okay I’m gonna do boss i think if we continue on this current thing we’re going to be
35:33
about 50 kilometers in that direction see I’m not making stuff i’m just doing predictive analysis so now when I look
35:40
at all of this stuff about Europe here’s the thing the debate that the Europeans
35:46
are having right now is centered on the notion that America there’s there’s two
35:52
debates that are happening it’s happening simultaneous it’s actually pretty entertaining to watch because the
35:57
first one is the petulent child but we don’t need mommy and daddy anymore we’re
36:02
going to go off on our own and I’m gonna buy a new BMW i’m going to do this i’m
36:07
going to do that and I’m declaring my independence but mommy can I stay in the
36:13
house and can you pay rent for the next six months while I do all this independent stuff and you know the
36:20
British we’re gonna do this but we need the American backs stop everything we’re gonna flex our own but we need the
36:26
American backs stop we need the American backs stop well then it’s all manufactured because what you’re saying
36:32
is you’re relying upon America and what Trump is trying to do is turn to them and say the American backs stop isn’t
36:39
going to be there the way you want it to be that’s like mommy and daddy saying you can’t live in the house anymore you
36:46
got you got to fly little birdie fly leave the nest um which means maybe you
36:52
don’t get a BMW maybe you get a a 15-y old Honda Accord um you know a starter
36:59
car maybe you don’t get to live in the Hamptons you got to get a one room studio apartment in sort of a seedy part
37:06
of town um you know maybe you have to make adjustments get a job get a savings
37:11
account do investments so you can grow to where you want to be but you have to start somewhere and I think what the
37:17
United States is confronting Europe is is the reality that you you don’t get to
37:23
bluster and flex and and and all this stuff and yet continue to believe that
37:29
the American back stop’s going to be there we’re not going to be there so you have to readjust your thinking now this
37:35
doesn’t happen overnight it’s going to take some time but again just to show you an example Leanderline is out there
37:42
talking about 800 billion yes billion big number well I mean maybe it
37:49
happens maybe because they’re stupid enough to try and do it i mean they really are but again the dots i always
37:56
look at the dots the Germans tried to do this in 2022 you remember that don’t you olaf Schultz oh the Russians are the
38:03
biggest threat in the world we need a hundred billion euro in immediate financing to build the German military
38:08
up and they did it they they actually went out and borrowed 100 billion from themselves which the Germans don’t like
38:14
to do um at 14% interest rate I think it was um well the first thing that happens
38:20
when you borrow the money you the banks the banks are just cold man you know
38:26
this anybody who’s dealt with American banks you know it you know they’re all nice and dandy yes home equity loan yes refinancing d sign the document boom
38:32
boom boom then next month the bill you owe us this payment shoot man but I
38:38
borrowed this much money and I needed it to buy my Porsche and now you’re telling me I can’t buy my Porsche because I got
38:44
to start paying the money back with interest and what happened is the German hundred
38:49
billion started shrinking immediately so if they thought they had 100 billion to go out and do things within the first
38:56
month they were down to 67 billion because they had to start making payments and then next thing you know
39:01
they they had to start letting contracts out but the contracts are over time and so as they’re doing this over time the
39:08
payments still have to come in so by the time they first start purchasing things for the rejuvenated German military
39:14
they’re down to 50 billion in the bank half of what they originally allocated and then they’re starting to buy and
39:20
they can’t do it and oh and then the big problem is that hundred billion was supposed to refurbish a home that when
39:28
they told the bank we need this for a home improvement uh the bank went how’s your house you know normally the bank
39:34
would say “We’re going to get an inspector to look at the house.” But this time the bank sort of said “No we’re going to accept that your house is the house ain’t a house that just needs
39:40
a new roof new flooring new windows.” That’s what you get a home equity loan for this house is rotten to the core
39:47
black mold rotting foundation this house can’t be refurbished it needs to be torn down and start from the ground up that’s
39:54
the reality of the European defense infrastructure it is rotten to the core
40:00
it doesn’t work that hundred billion is going to solve nothing the 800 billion that Ursula Vanderline’s talking about a
40:07
will not be 800 billion by the time they begin to let the contracts and all that stuff it’s going to be down to half of
40:12
that 400 billion and 400 billion ain’t going to touch begin to touch the cost
40:18
of rebuilding this the best thing Europe could do is start from scratch and say
40:24
“Okay what do we realistically need?” Because as long as Europe believes that they’re going to try and reinvent a
40:30
wheel you know it’s like buying a castle in France and you look at the old
40:35
drawings that was a grand castle back in 1630 there were knights in shining armor and there was a round table and a guy
40:42
named King Arthur hanging out and women were beautiful and all i want that castle and you get there and it’s a
40:48
crumbling mass of rocks nobody’s there the fields are foul and you’re going “Wait a minute this ain’t the castle.”
40:55
and and and and you want me to pay I I I got to pay taxes on this but but I need to build it up i can’t afford it we have
41:02
to educate Europe that what they think they want they can’t afford they can’t afford and then the other part of that
41:09
is they think they want it because they think there’s a threat or they’ve created the notion of a threat our job
41:15
is to create a reality where it is so apparent that that threat doesn’t exist that the politicians can’t continue to
41:22
articulate that they need a response this is a process that I think the Trump administration is engaged in real quick
41:30
do you do you honestly believe that they believe there’s a threat like be honest
41:36
I can’t tell if they’re lying or if they actually believe there’s a threat meaning if you’re just looking at this
41:41
you say to yourself okay well the B the William Burns memo pointed out that Russia didn’t want to invade Ukraine but
41:48
they were going to be pushed to do so in fact I go further if you have a if you have a couple of minutes aristovich and
41:55
many of this ilk also made the point before the war that Russia is going to
42:01
have to intervene into Ukraine in order to prevent Russ um Ukraine from getting
42:06
into NATO meaning they knew this they knew all of this going into it what they
42:11
were doing and why they were doing it so
42:16
that’s why I’m ask the question do like considering Burns in the Mimmo he’s not a psychic he just pointed out reality in
42:23
the way reality was do they honestly believe there’s a threat or is all of
42:29
this posturing in order to stick it to the Russians and build up a military and all of this other stuff or do they
42:35
actually believe it are they really terrified in the beginning it was Russia’s a gas station masquerading as a
42:41
country they’re running out of missiles they’re running out of weapons and now it’s oh my god we’re terrified that is a
42:46
million man military that has been killing and dying for the last three years they are modern and we have
42:51
nothing that can touch it so is what give me your take on that like do they honestly believe that there’s a threat
42:58
um or is this posturing um in a sense you know with this kind of oldtime
43:05
Napoleonic um I’m taking your castle you’re taking my castle what’s the reality of this um
43:12
just a second let me make sure that I have time to answer this because I have a uh and this will be the last question
43:18
i’m sorry no no I got time i I just I I have a I’m interviewing Maria Zakarova
43:24
um later on today congratulations yeah thanks hopefully it goes well but uh
43:31
but I’m going to answer this in typical Scott Ritter fashion i mean I’m going to give you an analogy because it’s the
43:38
only way I can explain this um normally when when we talk about do
43:45
they think do they really view this do they that you you’re you’re implying um
43:51
knowledgebased assessments um so let’s liken Europe to a university where
43:57
students come in into the classroom and a professor postulates problems and the
44:03
students are designed to answer the problems based upon fact and logic and reality and so you’re in a university
44:09
and the question is is Russia a threat we used to act like this back in the
44:14
cold war even though that we were diametrically opposed i was part of that process and it wasn’t you know like
44:21
every everybody cold war era mentality dude I was part of that and I’m telling you the mentality was we were so damn
44:28
realistic about what the Russians were we studied it we we we went there and visited we I mean we did the whole thing
44:35
it was a it was an academic environment of intellectual thought but what happens
44:41
over time is the the people that run the university didn’t like the fact that
44:48
Scott Ritter was going home getting a good night’s sleep refreshing themsel
44:54
maybe reading something else coming in and bringing that outside thought into the university and going “Yes but Mr
44:59
professor I’d like to f ask the following question.” So what they did is they Scott you can’t go home you got to
45:05
stay on the dormatory all right I’ll stay on the dormatory then they built a wall around the dormatory and the
45:11
university stopped being a university but they called it a university but it became a concentration camp and now it’s
45:19
a closed thing and I’m in there and I’m not getting the outside thing but and and then gradually they start changing
45:25
the process that reality has nothing to do i’m going insane i’m not I’m no longer I’m insane i’m in a concentration
45:32
camp and I’m insane but I think I’m in a university so I believe that I’m
45:37
actually doing this what Europe has become and this and the reason why I brought it up this way is I think back
45:43
in the 1960s there was a insane asylum in Elgen Illinois uh and they ran an
45:48
experiment where they took the staff and they said “Okay we want you to check
45:54
yourselves in here and um act as if you’re insane.” And they’re like “Well this is
46:00
just play acting that’s no problem.” And they did and then when the experiment ended they were insane they convinced
46:07
themselves they were insane even though they knew that it wasn’t a real insane asylum was Europe has convinced itself
46:14
that they are an academic institution it’s really a concentration camp holding
46:20
an insane asylum and these people are trapped in they believe Russia is a
46:25
threat because the insane asylum has put that out there as the justification for
46:32
being in this situation that you’re in why can’t we go outside the walls russia’s a threat oh dear okay so when
46:39
you say “Do they believe this?” My answer is yes they do believe it because
46:46
they have created a system that doesn’t allow that thesis to be challenged you
46:53
can’t challenge that’s the problem in there and you we’re seeing the danger is that that’s coming over to America where
46:59
we’re no longer allowed to challenge things anymore because under the Biden administration if I challenge it I’m
47:05
unamerican well hell Trump Mr free Speech I’m unamerican mr president I got a question about Israel you’re not
47:12
allowed to say you’re in the insane asylum ritter Israel is good israel is good hamas is bad palestine is bad we’re
47:20
not the insane asylum that’s what happens when you stop free think free thinking uh free expression that’s when
47:26
you stop you know having a fact-based world when you start allowing people to
47:32
come in and dictate solutions to you you don’t live in a free society anymore europe is not a free society in Germany
47:39
today I would be arrested for saying half the things we said here today but they say we’re a free society in France
47:45
I would be shut down in England I would have cops come to my door if I dare posted a meme that said you know
47:50
Benjamin Netanyahu had a booger in his nose scott that is anti-Semitic and we’re arresting you we’re putting you
47:56
jail for a long period of time um Europe is not a free society you’re not allowed to question anything it’s an insane
48:04
asylum a concentration camp an insane asylum inside where the curators are
48:12
telling you “Oh don’t worry it’s a free society don’t worry everything it’s as
48:18
Orwellian as it gets double speak.” Um and that’s the reality of Europe so when
48:25
you say “Do they believe this?” Yes just like an insane an insane person will believe the insanity and America is
48:32
becoming that we have to be very careful not to allow this to happen here in America um we need voices to be shouting
48:40
out in opposition even if we don’t agree with them we have to allow that to
48:46
happen so that there can be debate dialogue discussion an exchange of ideas
48:51
in a civil fashion where we’re not pulling out guns and shooting each other where we’re sitting and saying “I respect your right to hold your opinion
48:58
and you respect my right to hold my opinion.” And then we talk it out and at the end of the discussion we can still disagree with each other but we have to
49:05
reach out and shake hands saying “Hey thanks for allowing us to prove to
49:10
everybody we don’t live in an insane asylum that we live in an academic
49:15
institution that encourages this kind of intellectual development.” Europe is not that europe is a concentration camp with
49:23
an insane asylum that’s posturing as an academic university
49:29
scott Ritter the man himself scott Ritter is a former UN weapons inspector and weapons of mass destruction whistler
49:35
scott where can people find you man scottr.com easy
49:41
very straightforward scott thank you for this i always appreciate these conversations thank you man thanks be
49:47
safe all right the

Geure herriari, Euskal Herriari dagokionez, hona hemen gure apustu bakarra:
We Basques do need a real Basque independent State in the Western Pyrenees, just a democratic lay or secular state, with all the formal characteristics of any independent State: Central Bank, Treasury, proper currency1, out of the European Distopia and faraway from NATO, maybe being a BRICS partner…
Ikus Euskal Herriaren independentzia eta Mikel Torka
oooooo
1 This way, our new Basque government will have infinite money to deal with. (Gogoratzekoa: Moneta jaulkitzaileko kasu guztietan, Gobernuak infinitu diru dauka.)
