Scott Ritter | What’s REALLY Happening on Ukraine’s Frontline?

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GU_wJ1t25nk)

American former United States Marine Corps intelligence officer, and former United Nations Special Commission (UNSCOM) weapons inspector, Scott Ritter discusses with Danny Haiphong the situation on the frontlines in the war between Ukraine and Russia. Also being discussed are the immediate consequences of the Trump Putin meeting in Alaska, the the most likely next steps for both Ukraine and Russia in the ongoing conflict.

Scott Ritter was a junior military analyst during Operation Desert Storm. He served as a member of UNSCOM overseeing the disarmament of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) in Iraq from 1991 to 1998, from which he resigned in protest. Later he became a critic of the Iraq War and United States foreign policy in the Middle East (Source Wikipedia).

Transkripzioa:

0:00

what exactly is happening on the

0:01

battlefield now and what can we expect?

0:04

Well, I mean, Russia has said that um

0:06

it’s I mean, Vladimir Putin apparently

0:09

had a conversation with Emanuel Mcronone

0:11

and he said that um you know, while

0:14

Russia is not opposed to a negotiated

0:16

outcome, it will have to deal with

0:18

realities including territorial reality

0:20

and the territorial reality is as such

0:23

as things stand Russia’s requirements

0:26

are that all four of the Nova Rosia

0:29

territories, Keron, Zaparisia, Daets and

0:32

Lugansky in their totality belong to

0:34

Russia. and Russia will occupy all of

0:36

them, including the right bank of

0:37

Keroson. Um, and because of the

0:41

nefarious actions of the Ukrainians,

0:43

Russia will create an appropriately

0:45

sized u buffer zone. Um, and what we see

0:50

happening in Sunumi and in Neprosk is

0:52

Russia acting on that, meaning that they

0:54

will advance until which time they have

0:56

created a buffer between what will be

0:58

left of sovereign Ukraine um and mother

1:02

Russia. that Ukraine will not be allowed

1:04

to have a a common border with Russia

1:07

because Ukraine has attacked Russia and

1:10

Russia is not going to allow that to

1:12

happen again. Um I mean this is the

1:14

reality and this is what Russia is

1:17

moving forward. In his conversation with

1:19

President Trump, Putin said the same

1:21

thing. We will address the root causes

1:23

of this conflict and one of the root

1:26

causes is of course Ukraine’s behavior,

1:28

their their de facto status as a NATO

1:31

member. um and you know that will be

1:34

reversed. And so I I think what we’re

1:36

going to see is progress um along those

1:39

lines. But Russia is not going to throw

1:43

away human life needlessly. They don’t

1:46

need to. They just this is a war of

1:47

attrition. Um Garland and I have had

1:50

this conversation repeatedly and I’ll

1:52

just say it again. At some point in

1:54

time, there will be a culminating moment

1:57

where Ukraine’s ability to maintain

1:59

cohesive defense along the totality of

2:01

the front will diminish to the point of

2:03

zero and you will see collapse and that

2:06

collapse will be dramatic. Um I continue

2:10

to believe that Russia has the potential

2:12

of achieving that collapse this summer.

2:14

Um, Ukraine has shown a tremendous

2:16

amount of resilience over the over the

2:18

years and you know if Russia isn’t

2:21

willing to put the you know the remember

2:23

the more aggressive you are the more

2:24

casualties you take right now Russia has

2:26

a winning formula that minimizes Russian

2:29

losses maximizes Ukrainian losses and

2:31

Russia’s not hasn’t shown a proclivity

2:34

to change that but if um if Russia

2:37

decides to put their pedal to the metal

2:39

they can accelerate the collapse because

2:40

you you will you know create uh

2:45

mathematical equation which has the

2:47

Ukrainians losing resources at a far

2:49

greater rate than they can be

2:50

replenished and at some point in time

2:52

you achieve collapse. Um but that’s a

2:55

political decision that has to be made

2:56

because to do that to put the pedal to

2:59

the metal you’re going to increase

3:01

Russian casualties at a time when I

3:04

think um the Russian government doesn’t

3:06

want to um alter the um the support of

3:11

the Russian people. Right now, the

3:12

Russian people have stealed themselves

3:15

to um the reality of this conflict to

3:18

include Ukrainian drones striking uh

3:21

deep inside Russia. Uh but they’ve also,

3:24

you know, they’ve they’ve reached a uh

3:26

an equilibrium of what kind of

3:29

battlefield losses can be accepted.

3:30

Understand that the Russian losses are

3:33

um greater than the losses we suffered

3:36

in Vietnam. Vietnam broke the back of

3:39

America. Um the Russian losses are uh

3:42

are greater than that. They are you know

3:44

occurring at a at a larger frequency

3:46

than Vietnam. So the Russian people have

3:48

to absorb real losses, real battlefield

3:51

losses. And I don’t think that Vladimir

3:53

Putin wants to change that um you know

3:56

this equilibrium by you know making the

3:58

Russian people absorb even more losses.

4:01

Um especially when you have a winning

4:03

strategy, you have an a constituency

4:06

that’s be supporting you on this war. I

4:09

think the Russians will just continue as

4:10

business as usual, threes and sixes

4:12

until the Ukrainians collapse. And that

4:14

could happen this year, that could

4:15

happen next year, could happen whenever

4:17

it happens, but it’s going to happen.

4:19

You know, we haven’t talked about this

4:20

yet on the program, but given that given

4:23

that, you know, Putin talks a lot about

4:25

root causes. Uh, Lugansk Detsk, I mean,

4:28

these were huge in the proliferation and

4:31

the the sparking of this uh conflict to

4:34

begin with. Well, I mean the Dombbass

4:36

was the um you know the the center of

4:39

this conflict. Um the Donbass is the

4:43

collective term used for Donetsk and

4:45

Lugansk. Um both very heavily populated

4:48

by uh Russianspeaking people, people who

4:52

um even though they were technically

4:54

Ukrainian citizens identified more with

4:56

Russia than Ukraine. Um and these are

4:58

the people that um you know when the CIA

5:02

backed coup that uh empowered these

5:05

Ukrainian nationalists who immediately

5:07

declared war on Russian Russian

5:08

ethnicity they called them orcs uh

5:11

declared war on the Russian Orthodox

5:13

church uh declared Russ war on the

5:16

Russian language Russian history Russian

5:18

culture uh seeking basically ethnic

5:21

genocide and then acted on it. U you

5:24

know they uh they they made a move to

5:26

seize Crimea. They were stopped dead in

5:28

their tracks. Then they they made a

5:30

move. They took over Marople. When you

5:31

speak of the rape of Marople, it’s the

5:33

literal physical rape of Marople.

5:35

Physically occupied this city and then

5:38

raped the women of Marople. Drove the

5:40

Russians out, imprisoned the Russians,

5:43

terrorized the Russians. Um, you know,

5:45

this is the reality and this is what the

5:47

people of Donets and Lugans grows up

5:49

against. They said no. Now when you when

5:51

you look at the the map understand that

5:54

uh when this conflict began the majority

5:57

of Lugansk was held by the Ukrainian

5:59

government. Uh basically Lugans city and

6:02

uh some territory to its uh immediate uh

6:05

west and north uh were under the control

6:08

of

6:09

Lugans People’s Republic. But when this

6:12

war began actually um the special

6:15

military operation began

6:17

the vast majority of Lagansk was um was

6:20

taken over uh rapidly. There was heavy

6:22

fighting. Um Vagner played a very

6:25

important role in this.

6:28

But uh you know but there was a a corner

6:30

of uh of Lugansk that um was heavily

6:34

fortified by the Ukrainians. Heavily was

6:36

part of this huge defensive line that

6:37

the Ukrainians had built over the course

6:39

of eight years. Um and they this was

6:43

heavily dug in and the Russian it was

6:45

never captured and um it was there this

6:48

this corner of Lugansk was being held on

6:50

to and so symbolically this was very

6:53

important for u for Russia and in

6:55

Lugansk but also for Detsk and Zaparisia

6:59

uh for them to you know evict the

7:02

Ukrainian government from Lugansk from

7:05

mother Russia because Lugansk is now

7:07

mother Russia. Um, but to show you how,

7:10

you know, that this the reality they’re

7:12

dealing with, just today, I believe the

7:14

mayor of Lugansk City was assassinated

7:16

by Ukrainian nationalists. Um, they they

7:19

they they killed him. Uh the Ukrainians

7:22

now um because they’re so angry at the

7:24

Russians, you know, capturing the

7:26

totality of the Luganska

7:28

Republic, they’ve they’ve they attack

7:30

they use highar missiles and other

7:32

missiles to attack uh Ukrainian

7:35

Russian civilians um to carry out to

7:38

continue their terrorism. the

7:40

anti-terrorist operation that was

7:42

initiated in April of um 2014

7:47

um continues to this day with the

7:48

Ukrainian government viewing uh the

7:51

citizens of Luganskin Dunyatk as

7:53

terrorists and therefore from their

7:55

perspective there are no civilians. They

7:56

continue to rain death down on innocent

7:59

civilians. And this is why Russia speaks

8:02

about a um a um the need for a um buffer

8:07

zone to protect the citizens of Russia

8:09

from um you know these criminal actions.

8:12

Um but you know it’s also you know

8:16

heartening because now the citizens of

8:17

Donets know that they’re next and then

8:20

after Dionetski you’ll see the the

8:22

citizens of Zaparisia know and then

8:23

Keran knows. Um and the other thing is

8:26

it represents an inevitability for the

8:28

people of Nepetrosk because the Russians

8:31

will build their buffer zone. Sunumi

8:33

will have a buffer zone. Um and if this

8:37

continues, I can guarantee you that the

8:39

Russians will probably extend a buffer

8:41

zone into Mikav and even into Odessa uh

8:44

by the time this is done. Uh this is a

8:46

reality. This is the kind of reality

8:48

that Putin is talking about. But now

8:50

it’s more than just um words. We now

8:53

have action. we’ve seen the Russians

8:55

actually, you know, physically uh

8:57

liberate the totality of one of the four

9:00

new territories. And um I think it’s

9:02

just part of the inevitable um you know,

9:06

advance um that that Russia’s engaged

9:08

in.

Ukraine In Flames: Russian Bombers, Aircraft Hammer Cities; Huge Attack After Warning To Europe

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLqqeAnm_5s)

Russia launched a massive overnight barrage of missiles and Shahed drones on August 21, striking cities across Ukraine, including Kyiv, Lviv, Rivne, and Mukachevo. A commercial electronics factory employing 800 workers was hit in Mukachevo, sparking huge fires. At least 12 were injured as residential areas also suffered damage. The assault came just days after Trump’s peace talks with Zelensky and European leaders, raising questions about Moscow’s intent to negotiate. Watch

Scott Ritter: NATO Powerless Against Russia’s Brutal Strategy

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxS-ISgy-y4)

Scott Ritter, former UN weapons inspector and military analyst, gives his in-depth analysis of the ongoing Russia–Ukraine war, NATO’s role, and the geopolitical consequences for the West. In this video, we explore Ritter’s perspective on Russia’s strategy, Ukraine’s resilience, and why he believes the outcome of this conflict is inevitable.

Ritter highlights the territorial realities in Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia, the buffer zones Russia seeks to establish, and how Western policies may have strengthened rather than weakened Moscow. His analysis sheds light on NATO’s miscalculations, Ukraine’s future, and the rise of a multipolar world order led by Russia, China, and other emerging powers.

Whether you agree or disagree with his views, Scott Ritter’s insights provide a controversial but thought-provoking look at modern warfare, geopolitics, and the future of global power dynamics.

Ukraine has attacked Russia and Russia

1:05

1:07

1:11

this is what Russia is moving forward in

1:13

his conversation with President Trump.

1:15

Putin said the same thing. We will

1:17

address the root causes of this conflict

1:20

and one of the root causes is of course

1:22

Ukraine’s behavior, their their de facto

1:25

status as a NATO member. um and you know

1:28

that will be reversed. And so I I think

1:30

what we’re going to see is progress um

1:34

along those lines. But Russia is not

1:37

going to throw away human life

1:40

needlessly. They don’t need to. They

1:41

just This is a war of attrition. Um

1:44

Garland and I have had this conversation

1:46

repeatedly and I’ll just say it again.

1:48

At some point in time, there will be a

1:50

culminating moment where Ukraine’s

1:53

ability to maintain cohesive defense

1:55

along the totality of the front will

1:57

diminish to the point of zero and you

1:59

will see collapse and that collapse will

2:02

be dramatic. Um I continue to believe

2:05

that Russia has the potential of

2:07

achieving that collapse this summer. Um

2:10

Ukraine has shown a tremendous amount of

2:11

resilience over the over the years and

2:14

you know if Russia isn’t willing to put

2:16

the you know the remember the more

2:18

aggressive you are the more casualties

2:20

you take right now Russia has a winning

2:22

formula that minimizes Russian losses

2:24

maximizes Ukrainian losses and Russia’s

2:27

not hasn’t shown a proclivity to change

2:29

that but if um if Russia decides to put

2:34

2:36

3:25

Understand that the Russian losses are

3:28

um greater than the losses we suffered

3:31

3:34

America. Um the Russian losses are uh

3:37

are greater than that. They are you know

3:39

occurring at a at a larger frequency

3:41

than Vietnam. So the Russian people have

3:43

to absorb real losses, real battlefield

3:46

3:48

Putin wants to change that um you know

3:51

3:56

Um especially when you have a winning

3:58

4:01

that’s be supporting you on this war. I

4:04

think the Russians will just continue as

4:05

business as usual, threes and sixes

4:07

until the Ukrainians collapse. And that

4:09

could happen this year, that could

4:10

happen next year, could happen whenever

4:12

it happens, but it’s going to happen. He

4:14

gave you 5.9 p. Um, so I hope he

4:18

continues to support your cause. Um,

4:22

you clearly are somebody who hasn’t

4:24

listened to anything I’ve said, anything

4:26

Garland has said. If uh at any time you

4:29

thought that we said that uh Ukraine was

4:31

going to fold over like a house of cards

4:33

um especially after the initial phases

4:36

of the war. I think everybody believed

4:38

that Russia was going to come in and

4:39

declare war on Ukraine. Had Russia

4:41

declared war on Ukraine, this war would

4:42

be over. But again, you know, that’s

4:44

something that your question doesn’t uh

4:47

address the difference between a special

4:49

military operation and the war. I don’t

4:51

mean to be insulting, but don’t throw a

4:53

question out there unless you do your

4:54

goddamn research. Nobody thought this

4:56

was going to be a special military

4:57

operation. That term didn’t exist when

4:59

this conflict began. Everybody thought

5:01

that this was a war, including the

5:03

chairman of the joint chiefs of staff,

5:04

the director of the CIA, except the

5:05

people that knew what was going on, the

5:07

special military operation people. They

5:09

understood that this wasn’t a war. This

5:11

was something different. And it took

5:12

people in the West a while to adjust to

5:14

that, you know. So, you have to adjust

5:16

your analytical framework, which I did.

5:18

And once that happened, you realize now

5:21

that Russia’s not in the business of the

5:23

physical destruction of Ukraine. If this

5:25

was a war, Ukraine would no longer

5:27

exist. What did I get wrong exactly?

5:30

Maybe the pace of operations. I already

5:31

told you I’m a very aggressive analyst

5:33

who believes in uh you know putting the

5:35

pedal to the metal, but the Russians

5:37

don’t. So when I use my analytical

5:40

framework to to you know project things

5:42

that happen, yeah, every time I get

5:44

attached to a calendar, I’m wrong. But

5:46

you know what? not been wrong on the

5:48

results. Russia’s winning this war. I’ve

5:51

not been wrong on the math. Russia’s the

5:53

math is, you know, lends itself totally

5:55

to a Russian victory. So, where have I

5:56

been wrong? Russia has taken massive

5:59

hits. That’s a curious term. What What

6:01

is the quantifiable there? What defines

6:03

a massive hit? Russia’s taking

6:05

casualties, but you do know that we’re

6:07

Russia’s fighting a NATO proxy, an army

6:10

of 700 to 900,000 men trained to NATO

6:12

standards, equipped with the best

6:14

equipment NATO has put in air defense

6:17

system that is better than anything NATO

6:19

has installed. And Russia’s beating this

6:20

hands down. I mean, nobody talks about

6:23

the Russian suppression of enemy air

6:24

defense campaign that started to operate

6:27

in the fall of 2022 to get to where we

6:29

are here today, where Russia has

6:31

literally suppressed the totality of

6:32

NATO’s air defense capacity. Stripped

6:35

NATO bare. And now they’re just pounding

6:38

Ukraine.

6:40

Well, massive hits, right? Yeah. A

6:41

couple drone strikes, that’s a massive

6:43

hit. Where’s the massive hit you’re

6:45

talking about? This is war. just because

6:47

the Ukrainians are able to take this

6:49

technology and apply it on the

6:50

battlefield and inflict casualties on

6:52

Russia. That’s what’s going to happen in

6:53

a highintensity conflict zone. But don’t

6:56

talk about massive hits unless you can

6:57

document it and you can’t. The bottom

6:59

line is Ukraine is being used as a

7:01

proxy. I’ve not been wrong on that. From

7:04

the very beginning, I said this is a

7:05

proxy war between NATO and Ukraine. I

7:07

said that in March of 2022. Put on

7:10

Ukrainian death list for saying that.

7:12

How dare you say that? Well, it’s the

7:13

truth. It’s so true that the Ukrainian

7:16

defense minister had to come out and

7:17

admit it and now the United States

7:19

admits it. Haven’t been wrong on that.

7:20

So, we’re talking about a war here. It’s

7:22

not a conflict between Ukraine and

7:25

Russia. It’s now transformed into a

7:27

conflict between Russia and the

7:28

collective west. Does your question

7:31

reflect that? Understand that the

7:33

Russians in their defense industrial

7:35

base is out producing the totality of

7:37

the NATO defense base. That’s not me

7:39

saying it. It’s Route the NATO secretary

7:42

general saying that. Have I been wrong

7:43

on that? No. This is a war. Understand

7:46

that when you defend Ukraine, you are

7:47

defending literal Nazis. Literal Nazis.

7:52

Not hypothetical Nazis, but literal

7:54

Nazis. The worst people in the world.

7:57

Ukrainian nationalists who view anybody

7:59

who’s not a Ukrainian nationalist as

8:01

subhuman. Subhuman. You’re subhuman. The

8:04

person who sent that question in. These

8:06

are horrible human beings. Horrible

8:08

human beings. And the Ukrainian

8:10

government embraces their ideology

8:12

without question, without embarrassment.

8:14

And we in the West support this, which

8:16

means we are complicit in the crimes

8:18

committed by the Ukrainians.

8:19

And I have empowered these Ukrainian

8:21

nationalists who immediately declared

8:23

war on Russian Russian ethnicity. They

8:25

called them orcs. Uh declared war on the

8:28

Russian Orthodox Church, uh declared

8:30

Russ war on the Russian language,

8:33

Russian history, Russian culture, uh

8:35

seeking basically ethnic genocide, and

8:38

then acted on it. uh you know they uh

8:40

they they made a move to seize Crimea.

8:42

They were stopped dead in their tracks.

8:44

Then they they made a move. They took

8:46

over Marople. When you speak of the rape

8:48

of Marople, it’s the literal physical

8:50

rape of Marople by these Nazis. Um you

8:53

know what they call the AOV battalion.

8:56

Um they have at the core of their

8:58

membership not Western Ukrainians but

9:01

people from Kardov uh soccer hooligans

9:04

who have bought into this Nazi um you

9:07

know ideology. But they came into

9:09

Marople, physically occupied this city,

9:12

and then raped the women of Maropople,

9:15

drove the Russians out, imprisoned the

9:17

Russians, terrorized the Russians while

9:19

building this literal Nazi edifice, this

9:22

literal Nazi edifice. Um, you know, this

9:26

is the reality and this is what the

9:28

people of Dungets and Lugans grows up

9:29

against. They said no. Now when you when

9:32

you look at the the map understand that

9:35

uh when this conflict began the majority

9:38

of Lugansk was held by the Ukrainian

9:40

government. Uh basically Lugans city and

9:42

uh some territory to its uh immediate uh

9:45

west and north uh were under the control

9:48

of

9:50

Lugans People’s Republic. But when this

9:53

war began actually um the special

9:55

military operation began

9:58

the vast majority of Lagansk was um was

10:01

taken over uh rapidly. There was heavy

10:03

fighting. Um Vagner played a very

10:05

important role in this

10:08

but uh you know but there was a a corner

10:11

of uh of Lugansk that um was heavily

10:14

fortified by the Ukrainians. Heavily it

10:16

was part of this huge defensive line

10:18

that the Ukrainians had built over the

10:20

course of 14 years. 14. Is my math

10:22

wrong? Huh? 2014. Not 14, eight.

10:27

Marine math. Eight years. Um, and they,

10:30

this was heavily dug in the Russian, it

10:33

was never captured. And, um, it was

10:36

there this this corner of Lugansk was

10:38

being held on to. And so symbolically

10:41

this was very important for u for Russia

10:43

and in Lugansk but also for Detsk and

10:46

Zaparisia uh for them to you know evict

10:50

the Ukrainian government from Lugansk

10:53

from mother Russia because Lugansk is

10:55

now mother Russia. Um but to show you

10:58

how you know that this the reality

11:01

they’re dealing with just today I

11:02

believe the mayor of Lugansk city was

11:04

assassinated by Ukrainian nationalists.

11:07

um they they they they killed him. Uh

11:09

the Ukrainians now um because they’re so

11:12

angry at the Russians, you know,

11:14

capturing the totality of the Lugansk

11:17

Republic, they’ve they’ve they attack

11:19

they use highar missiles and other

11:20

missiles to attack uh Ukrainian

11:24

Russian civilians um to carry out to

11:27

continue their terrorism. the uh

11:29

anti-terrorist operation that was

11:31

initiated in April of um 2014

11:35

um continues to this day with the

11:37

Ukrainian government viewing uh the

11:39

citizens of Lugansk and Dunyatk as

11:41

terrorists and therefore from their

11:43

perspective there are no civilians. They

11:45

continue to rain death down on innocent

11:47

civilians. And this is why Russia speaks

11:50

about a um a um the need for a um buffer

11:55

zone to protect the citizens of Russia

11:58

from um you know these criminal actions.

12:01

Um but you know it’s also you know

12:04

heartening because now the citizens of

12:06

Donets know that they’re next and then

12:08

after the you’ll see the the citizens of

12:11

Zaparisia know and then Kerasan knows.

12:13

Um and the other thing is it represents

12:16

an inevitability for the people of

12:18

Nepetrosk because the Russians will

12:20

build their buffer zone. Sunumi will

12:22

have a buffer zone. Um and if this

12:26

continues, I can guarantee you that the

12:28

Russians will probably extend a buffer

12:30

zone into Mikav and even into Odessa uh

12:33

by the time this is done. Uh this is a

12:35

reality. This is the kind of reality

12:36

that Putin is talking about. But now

12:39

it’s more than just um words. We now

12:41

have action. we’ve seen the Russians

12:43

actually, you know, physically uh

12:46

liberate the totality of one of the four

12:49

new territories. And um I think it’s

12:51

just part of the inevitable um you know,

12:54

advance um that that Russia’s engaged

12:56

in. do you know let’s look at the uh

13:00

regime change strategy used by the

13:03

United States um with great success

13:05

against Iraq great success against Syria

13:10

um

13:13

success against Libya um they’re trying

13:17

to apply it in Iran today but um I think

13:21

Iran and Russia have something different

13:25

um about them. What are the weaknesses

13:28

of Russia? What what lent what made

13:31

Russia vulnerable to western regime

13:34

change? First of all is the decade of

13:35

the ‘9s. Uh the decade of the ‘9s broke

13:38

the Russian spirit and had many Russians

13:40

flee the concept of mother Russia. Um

13:44

you know they fell out of love with

13:46

Russia and fell in love with the west.

13:47

So they were already attracted to this

13:49

alternative uh in the west. Um the

13:54

[Music]

13:56

they almost the west almost succeeded.

13:58

Had Yeltson not yielded power to Putin

14:01

when he did. Had Yeltson tried to hold

14:02

on to power for another 6 months, you

14:04

would have seen a total collapse of

14:06

Russia and Western goals and objectives

14:08

would have been achieved. Russia would

14:09

have broken up into constituent parts.

14:11

Um and uh functionally the Russian

14:14

Federation would not exist the way it

14:17

does today. Uh but Putin reversed that

14:19

and there’s been resentment ever since

14:21

then. But Putin, even though he reversed

14:23

it, you know, from the very beginning,

14:25

Putin was fighting an uphill battle. Uh

14:28

first of all, he’s fighting against

14:29

Western oligarchs that controlled the

14:31

Russian economy in totality. Uh and

14:33

Putin had to make deals with the devil.

14:35

He’s acknowledged this. I mean, the the

14:37

the deal he made with um

14:41

Karovski, I think it was the you know,

14:43

big oil magnate. Um, you know, he said,

14:46

“You can keep your money, but you got to

14:48

invest it back in Russia. You can’t take

14:50

it all out, but you got to stay out of

14:52

politics. I can’t allow your money to

14:53

get involved in Russian politics.” And

14:55

Gordonoski disobeyed, thought he could

14:58

uh beat Putin at his game, and Putin had

15:00

him arrested, had his uh empire broken

15:02

up and taken over by the the Russian

15:05

state. Um, but this was a constant

15:07

balancing act with the oligarchs, and it

15:09

was always a problematic because the

15:11

with the oligarchs comes corruption. And

15:14

um there was corruption throughout

15:16

Russia. And there still is corruption

15:18

throughout Russia. Many of the political

15:20

structures that exist in the provinces

15:22

um are a byproduct of the of the ’90s,

15:25

their legacy of the ’90s. Putin hasn’t

15:27

weeded them out yet. Uh because it’s

15:30

almost mission impossible to do under

15:32

normal circumstances. The other thing

15:35

that Putin had to do is um try and build

15:38

um a Russian

15:41

um

15:43

democratic

15:45

potential. But this was almost

15:47

impossible. We know this because in 1994

15:50

the chargy affairs of the US embassy in

15:52

Moscow, Mr. Mary, I think his last name

15:54

was, he wrote uh what is currently

15:57

referred to as the modern long telegram,

15:59

the modern-day equivalent of uh George

16:02

Kennan’s long telegram of 1946 that set

16:04

in motion what became containment in the

16:07

cold war. Um he wrote a long telegram

16:10

that was condemning the United States

16:11

for what it was doing uh by blindly

16:14

supporting Boris Yeltson. You know

16:15

Yeltson in October of 1993 puts tanks in

16:18

the streets to uh shell declared war on

16:21

the Russian parliament. That’s not

16:22

democratic. And yet we double down on

16:24

Yeltson. He said we’re destroying

16:26

Russia’s ability to build democratic

16:28

institutions and this will come back to

16:29

haunt us. And sure enough by the time

16:31

Yeltson left there were no meaningful

16:33

democratic institutions. What happened

16:35

is that you had a number of NOS’s uh

16:38

funded by you know I used to be called

16:41

paranoid because I say well that’s a

16:43

USAD National Endowment for Democracy

16:46

funded system it can’t be a Scott you’re

16:48

just buying into Russian propag now we

16:50

know that literally it’s regime change

16:51

run by the state department um

16:53

but you know those systems existed so

16:56

whenever Putin tried to build a you know

16:59

democratic foundation uh the

17:01

infrastructure it was infiltrated by the

17:03

CIA what do you think Nimsaw was what do

17:05

you think Nandi was? These are all CIA

17:07

front operations um not designed to

17:10

build democracy but designed to bring

17:11

Putin down. And so as a result, you

17:14

know, Russia, you know, didn’t has a

17:17

fragile democracy. Um and that’s a

17:20

vulnerability, especially when leading

17:22

up to um you know, the the 2022 time

17:26

period, up to 30% of the Russian

17:29

population um supported Putin only so

17:34

long as he maintained the status quo.

17:36

economically, which means that Putin

17:37

could never divorce himself from the

17:39

west. He could never, you know, get rid

17:42

of the western businesses that had

17:44

thoroughly insinuated themselves in

17:45

Russia during the 90s and reinforce that

17:47

position for the first two decades. Um,

17:51

if Putin made a move, you know, he was

17:53

winning elections, you know, in the high

17:55

50s, low 60%. But you subtract 20, 30%

18:00

support and now Putin’s not winning

18:02

elections, Putin’s losing elections. And

18:04

um so Putin had his hands tied.

18:08

The mistake we made if we really wanted

18:12

regime change was not

18:14

was was breaking free of this mold. Um

18:18

we should have been encouraging western

18:20

investment. Uh we should have been more

18:22

clever in what we did with NOS’s. But

18:25

instead we we rushed it. 2012 Putin

18:28

kicked out all the NOS’s calling them

18:29

rightfully um you know illegal

18:32

government fronts. 2014 we did the coup

18:34

d’eta in Kiev uh installing a

18:36

nationalist movement that and look at

18:39

the naivity of Putin even at this point

18:41

in time he wanted peace he agreed to the

18:43

Minsk accords he agreed to negotiations

18:46

he continued to do that despite the

18:48

violations by the Ukrainians uh despite

18:50

knowing what the United States was up to

18:52

um he went along with this because he

18:54

didn’t want a war in retrospect we made

18:58

a huge mistake because now we know that

19:00

Putin wasn’t what the west was saying he

19:02

was this warmongering maniac mega. He

19:05

was a a leader who was struggling with

19:07

serious problems inside Russia, who did

19:09

not want a conflict with the West and

19:11

was willing to make whatever compromises

19:13

necessary to avoid that conflict. But we

19:16

pushed the issue. And so what happened

19:19

is

19:21

by imposing sanctions, these severe

19:24

sanctions regime, we liberated Putin.

19:26

The first thing that happened is the

19:27

oligarchs lost all their power. Putin

19:29

went, “Thank you very much. I’m happy to

19:31

fill that vacuum.” And he has and he did

19:33

it in a way now that has empowered the

19:35

Russian industrial base so that they’re

19:37

not prisoners of corrupt oligarchs but

19:39

now they’re prisoners not prisoners but

19:41

they’re servants of a a a fusion between

19:45

the state and industry that there is

19:48

some corruption but it’s being weeded

19:49

out. I mean the anti-corruption

19:51

campaigns being run by Putin is is

19:52

weeding this out. So you’re getting um

19:56

you know industries that serve the state

19:58

effectively more effectively than

19:59

anything that exists in the west. too by

20:02

imposing these sanctions a total break

20:04

with the west that 20 to 30% um people

20:08

who were like we we want the west we

20:10

believe in the west first of all

20:13

a million or so of them fled all the non

20:17

supporters fled most of them have

20:18

returned because they come to the west

20:20

and they god the west sucks and they

20:21

came back to Russia begging forgiveness

20:23

but the other ones they’re now sided

20:24

with Putin there is no meaningful

20:26

political opposition to Vladimir Putin

20:28

at all so we’ve consolidated his

20:31

strength. We’ve made their defense

20:32

industry stronger and we’ve allowed

20:35

their military, you know, one of the

20:38

great learning uh points in this

20:40

conflict was the mobilization of 300,000

20:43

uh Russian soldiers in the fall of 2022

20:47

because what Russia realized at that

20:48

point in time is that the corruption had

20:50

even gotten into the mobilization

20:52

centers. There were some mobilization

20:53

centers that were effective and they

20:55

were able to get uniforms and guns, but

20:57

there are others where there were no

20:58

uniforms. There were no guns. Why?

20:59

because the corrupt commisa had taken

21:01

that money and spent it on themselves

21:03

and now time came to to put it up there.

21:06

That’s a big problem for Russia because

21:08

their model of mobilization to deal with

21:11

a war with NATO is the ability to get

21:13

over a million men mobilized very short

21:15

order and sent to the field and their

21:18

system was broke. Russia fixed it. They

21:20

fixed their training. They fixed their

21:21

education. They fixed everything. and

21:23

they’re Russian. The military today is a

21:26

finely tuned, welloiled machine just

21:28

chugging along on all cylinders. Is it

21:30

perfect? Nothing ever is. But it’s

21:32

better than anything that exists in the

21:34

West. This was the mistake that the West

21:36

made. A fundamental error. Russia is

21:40

emerged today a nation that has fallen

21:42

back in love with itself. Russian

21:44

patriotism is real. It’s sincere and

21:47

it’s not shallow. It’s a patriotism that

21:50

um is linked to their religion. Uh the

21:52

rise of the Orthodox Church in Russia is

21:54

is very critical here. It’s linked to an

21:57

appreciation of their culture, their

21:59

history, their you know the things that

22:02

have defined Russia for uh over a

22:04

thousand years are the things that the

22:06

Russian people today believe in and they

22:08

are more unified than ever not just

22:09

about Russia but about the the man who

22:12

leads them, Vladimir Putin. So we made a

22:15

fatal mistake in engaging in this

22:16

conflict because if our goal and

22:18

objective was to weaken Russia or

22:19

somehow bring you know make Russia more

22:22

compliant to western uh needs, wants and

22:25

desires, we have failed. Today Russia is

22:27

totally unplugged from the west. They’re

22:29

totally self-sufficient and they’re able

22:31

to function in a they’ve created an

22:33

alternative universe, a multi-olar world

22:36

that’s populated by, you know, China,

22:39

India, um you know, Brazil, South

22:42

America, all of Africa almost,

22:44

Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, the the

22:47

world is coming into this uh into this

22:49

orbit. And that’s the that’s the massive

22:52

failure of the United States and Russia.

22:53

And I think we’re making the same

22:54

mistake with Iran. um rather than taking

22:58

advantage of a moderate president who is

22:59

ready to have negotiations and and and

23:02

and and infiltrating ourselves into

23:04

Iranian society and bringing it down

23:05

from within by cla to the natural

23:08

proclivities of a pro-western audience,

23:10

we’ve destroyed any potential of a

23:13

pro-western audience gaining foot in

23:15

Iran today. We’ve empowered the

23:16

theocracy uh to a degree that has never

23:18

been empowered since its founding. Uh,

oooooo

@tobararbulu # mmt@tobararbulu

Transkripzioa:

0:01

Did you hear what he said? He doesn’t know anything. He didn’t say that, you know, France is

0:07

going to put they wanna they want to put boots on the ground. They’ve been wanting to put boots on the ground forever. Russia won’t let them.

0:14

We’re going to find out where Putin is next. Trump, you know where Putin is. He told you straight up where he is.

0:19

There’s no yielding. So Trump is just blowing smoke at everybody. He knows what the reality is. The thing that he

0:25

knows is that over the course of the next several weeks, Russia is going to kick the living crap out of Ukraine and change battlefield reality and therefore

0:31

change political reality and nothing that was agreed upon.

0:36

I mean, this whole, you know, humiliation of Europe where

0:42

you have to buy weapons from the United States and apparently it’s a 10% markup. I mean, Donald Trump is one corrupt

0:48

individual. He’s selling weapons to Ukraine, to the to the Europeans with a 10% markup.

0:53

That’s his secretary of treasury saying it so that they can send it to to the

0:59

Ukrainians. But these weapons haven’t been built yet. It’s not like you’re going to Walmart or Home Depot and picking it up off the shelf. This is

1:06

where you have to open up the catalog and say, “We we need you to build this for me.” And they go, “Well, you know, we’ve got a backlog and uh you might get

1:13

to this in 2028. If you think Ukraine’s going to be here in 2028, you’ve been

1:18

snorting some heavy coke and Zalinski is going to be mad because you’re taking his stash.” Um there there

1:26

this is utter humiliation. Nobody ever bothers to dig past. I just told you.

1:31

There is no commitment to article 5. None. Trump sort of starts off like there is

1:36

and then he they want to. That doesn’t mean there is, right? They want to. They want to do a lot of

1:41

things. It ain’t going to happen. US talking about air, you know, air power. You think Russia’s going to let American

1:47

airplanes fly over Ukraine? No.

1:53

Is it going to happen? Not until the war is over and deoxification took place or whatever.

1:58

But you know, it’s some talking now being flo about a no-fly zone. There is a no-fly zone. Russia owns it. It’s

2:03

called Ukrainian airspace. Fly and die.

2:09

It’s just stupid what’s going on right now. Meanwhile, the Ukraine are getting wiped out on the battlefield. But we

2:15

don’t care in the West. We don’t care. We sent them to die a long time ago.

2:22

Seems that the Europeans are mostly interested in having security guarantees for Ukraine. But do you see a common

2:30

ground in that sense in having a security that would be somehow acceptable for Russians, for European,

2:37

for the United States and mostly for Zalinski and his administration? Because

2:43

it doesn’t seem that they would remove Zanski from power. They want to keep Zansk in power.

2:49

Who? Europeans. It seems to me they don’t matter.

2:54

They don’t count. Who cares? Russia is the one who sets the terms.

3:03

And they’ve already said as long as he’s a, you know, a a president lacks in any

3:08

legal mandate. Didn’t have the election when he should have. Constitutionally, he doesn’t exist and they can’t sign a

3:15

deal with him. And whatever talk that people have about what it’s going to look like down the road, understand that

3:21

there will not be, you know, a peacekeeping force in Ukraine until

3:27

there’s a peace to keep denazification, demilitarization, all

3:33

that that happens and then you have people come in. So it’s it’s

3:40

embarrassing to to listen to Europe talk. They they they they live in a

3:45

fantasy world. um that totally detached from reality and they’re they’re all

3:51

over the map. They don’t know what to agree upon. They they don’t have a singular position. I mean, you heard

3:57

each of these leaders briefing something different to the president. And the president doesn’t have a plan either.

4:04

How could he? He just he just he just flopped 180 degrees. You know, now he’s

4:10

moving in, you know, Russia is going to have a you know, needs a comprehensive piece. At the end of the day, this

4:15

president’s also said, you know, we’ll walk, which may be what happens. I mean, he he

4:23

he really needs to pound the table, step up, tell Europe to

4:28

sit down and shut up and turn to Zilinsky and say, um, either you agree to what I do here, but when you leave

4:34

here, you’re a dead man. I will hunt you down and kill you myself. Uh, you’re you’re you’re the problem, not the

4:39

solution. Um, you are horribly corrupt individual. We have the books on you.

4:46

Um, you’re, you know, you’re you’re slaughtering your own people. Um, so,

4:53

you know, your only chance of survival right now is to basically give in on everything we’ve just said and then get

5:00

the hell out of the way. Go to Miami, you can go wherever you want to go. But, um, but no, see, Trump’s not doing that.

5:08

And as a result, he breathes false hope into the Europeans and Zalinski.

5:14

Russia’s not yielding. I wish people would study Russia more before they open their mouths,

5:21

you know, so you understand that when you keep saying Putin does this, Putin Putin doesn’t do anything unless it’s

5:27

constitutionally allowed. He’s the president of Russia.

5:32

He’s bound by Russian law and he can’t give up territory. The Duma

5:39

would have to basically pass a resolution that redefined what the Kerosone Zaparisia uh are. But void of

5:46

that, Trump has no power, no authority to say, “Oh yeah, yeah, we’re going to give up this land. Can’t do it

5:53

constitutionally.” And Russia is constitutionally founded. Hell, they obey their constitution a lot better

5:59

than we do. Do we know anything about the proposal

6:06

that the Russian part was talking about before going to the meeting? They they said that they receive a proposal from

6:12

the United States. That’s why they’re trying the Russian president is going to meet Donald Trump. What was that? What

6:20

is Do we know anything about that? We don’t know. I think what happened is

6:26

that Trump um Trump was trying to push an economic

6:32

proposal and it looks like Don like Vladimir Putin you know paved the way by I guess he signed a decree right before

6:38

it went over that opened up um sakalene for development um you know

6:44

it’s a big um energy development there in the Pacific the Japanese are invested

6:50

America has a big investment and he basically opened it up for continued investment

6:55

And uh I think that was a signal that you know Russia is willing to let the west back in and the west can make a lot

7:02

of money. Um there was talk about the Arctic and things of that nature. But I think what happened is you know this

7:08

meeting that was supposed to go for 6 hours went for 3 hours. the lunchon they were supposed to have didn’t happen

7:15

because basically all the preparation that Trump’s team had done uh was thrown

7:23

away in minute one because Vladimir Putin changed the changed the narrative

7:28

took control of the narrative. Now the US is playing catchup and um

7:36

we’re still catching up. The Russians are in the cat bird seat here. They’re driving. They um

7:44

you know this this is again the president of the United States has been poorly served by his adviserss. He

7:49

should never have gone into this meeting this unprepared. Vladimir Putin is always overprepared.

7:55

They have options, fallback plans, the whole thing. You’re not going to outflank them. You’re not going to

8:00

surprise them.

8:07

Do you feel that the war would continue? Because after the meeting, both sides,

8:14

the United States and Russians were somehow positive about the outcome of

8:19

the meeting. But after in the aftermath of the meeting between Europeans together with Zalinski

8:25

with Donald Trump, do you think that some those little hopes that we had after the

8:32

meeting are fading away? I don’t think the Russians had hope.

8:40

They’re very realistic. You know, they they know exactly what’s

8:45

going on. the Russians will continue to fight. I can guarantee you that.

8:53

Um, you know, the United States, I mean, Donald Trump would like to see peace,

8:59

but it requires Zalinski to make it to embrace reality, and it requires Europe

9:04

to likewise embrace reality. Neither of them appear ready to do this. And without that, there will be no peace.

9:12

That’s as clear as the day. So

9:17

again, this this is up to Donald Trump now to he had he had this meeting with the Europeans. Um,

9:26

you know, I think now he will turn to them and say you don’t have a plan. You

9:32

know, you keep saying you have a plan, but that plan requires us to do something. We’re not going to do that.

9:38

And um if you don’t have anything else to add, you have to step aside. we’re

9:43

going to finish the job, but he hasn’t done that.

9:50

Does it feel that Europe is so much concerned about Ukraine or somehow their

9:57

concerns are related to the future of Europe? They cannot

10:04

sustain. They cannot on live without the United States. Living without the United

10:11

States is somehow difficult for them. No, impossible.

10:17

Not difficult. Impossible. Um, you know, they’re they’re the

10:22

unweening children. They can’t leave the nest even though they’re, you know, old enough to have flown the coupe a long

10:28

time ago. Um, [Music]

10:36

I mean Europe is just fun fundamentally dysfunctional. Um what their their

10:42

economies are in tatters. Uh their political unity is gone out the window.

10:48

Um I I I just just reiterate they’ve

10:54

they’ve got nothing to add, nothing to contribute, nothing at all. They the

11:00

world would be better off without Europe right now. I mean just if it just I’m not saying to eliminate I’m just saying

11:05

if it just learn to shut up sit down and not do anything a lot of problems could be solved but you know these these this

11:12

European political and economic elite they the system that’s in place right now

11:19

this horribly inept corrupt system is which feeds them

11:25

um I mean this this the the the coming purge the economicdriven purge where

11:31

these fail failed leaders will be thrown out into the streets um is the best thing that can happen to Europe. The

11:38

best thing single best thing that could happen to Europe. There’s hardly a European leader worth saving. There’s no

11:44

major European leader worth saving. Um they all conspire against the United

11:50

States. Um for what reason? Money. Money and power.

11:57

I I don’t know what else do they want from the United States because looking at the way that the United States

12:04

went against India and China and they reached their limits and they cannot do

12:10

anything more than that. I don’t know if you saw Scott Besson talking about China

12:15

and India and the way that their economy has been transformed somehow they’re more dependent on Russian oil than

12:21

before. And here is what he said. So the history though, Becky, and look, the

12:27

China importing it is suboptimal, but if you go back and look pre22,

12:33

pre-invasion, 13% of China’s oil was already coming

12:39

from Russia. Now it’s 16. So you China has a diversified uh input of their oil.

12:46

uh if you go back and look now uh I believe India had less than 1% of their

12:52

oil 1% and now I believe it’s up to 42 so wow uh India is just profiteering

13:02

from 1% to 42 and who’s receiving this oil is your opinion he’s buying that

13:10

from India yeah well I mean this is rich coming from the secretary treasury of

13:16

of a nation whose president stood in the White House and told the world he was going to blow up the Nordstream 2

13:22

pipeline in front of the chancellor who owned it. Um

13:28

that chancellor said nothing. So

13:33

I you know and then after we blew up that pipeline what do we do? Turn around sell you know we blow it up in the name

13:40

of preventing Russia from selling energy to Europe. remove the leverage of influence.

13:47

Then we turn around and sell them tanker full of liquid natural gas, steep markup, some, you know, four times the

13:54

price. Um, and and and invest in what considers that good business. It’s bad

13:59

for the one side to, you know, curry favor by paying people off, but what do

14:05

we do? I mean, we just ripped ripped the Germans off like you wouldn’t believe.

14:11

And they’re dumb enough to let it continue to happen. It’s embarrassing, but yeah, I’d say

14:16

Donald Trump when he’s fully engaged in, you know, an issue. Um,

14:22

it he’s he’s trying to make money. That’s it. It’s not for the national security of the United States. It’s it’s

14:28

money. And the Russians have broken the code. That’s why their lead, you know, their their response was, hey, let’s

14:36

jointly develop the Arctic. Let’s uh open up Sakaline. There’s things there’s way to make money. That’s why Terrell

14:42

Demetria’s one of their appointment is money guy. That’s why the one of the mo the most effective conduit for

14:49

informationational exchange isn’t Marco Rubio to Sergey Lavrov. One would think

14:54

it would be, but no, it’s Steve Woff, Donald Trump’s personal friend and

14:59

special envoy and Camil Deitriv, you know, guy who runs a private investment

15:04

fund.

15:11

Can Ukraine achieve what it has in its mind in terms of the

15:16

security guarantees without Russia being part of it?

15:24

No. Russia’s not going to allow Ukraine to exist as a cancerous tumor.

15:35

So nothing Ukraine wants is they’re going to get nothing.

15:42

They made their choice. They’re they’re they’re they’re literal Nazis. Why should they have a right to continue

15:48

to govern? Because what it feels when you see the

15:54

meeting that Donald Trump had with the Europeans together with Zilinski, it seems that this they’re somehow trying

16:00

to remove Russia from the scene in terms of providing security guarantees, which

16:05

I I argue that Russia is the most important player in in that term. If

16:12

they want something substantial for Ukraine, Russia has to be part of the discussion. Russia has to be part of

16:19

that that agreement. But it doesn’t seem that comes even Donald Trump when he’s talking about putting troops on the

16:25

ground because after the meeting with Vladimir Putin is somehow so much

16:31

unbelievable. You cannot believe that the president of the United States talking this way

16:40

again. I think we just have to stop

16:47

talking about Europe. They don’t matter. They’re there, Scott. After all, we can

16:52

They aren’t there. They’re not there. What’s there? The French army doesn’t

17:00

exist. The British army doesn’t exist. The German army doesn’t exist. What is

17:08

Europe? A dysfunctional economy that’s collapsing as we speak. No defense

17:13

industry worthy of the name. Europe isn’t there. to be there. You got

17:18

to be there physically. You got to be able to do something. They can’t even poop out 30,000 troops for a

17:26

peacekeeping force. That’s the number they came up with. And then suddenly they go, “Oh, we don’t have enough.

17:32

Can’t do it.” There is no Europe. It exists in the mind of Donald Trump

17:37

alone. Russia doesn’t care about Europe. Russia doesn’t consider them at all.

17:42

They are nothing. Russia doesn’t wake up in the morning and go, “Oh, we have to really worry

17:48

about the Europeans. They’re irrelevant. They made themselves irrelevant economically.”

17:56

No, I mean, they’re still pathetic. They still buy their energy from Russia.

18:02

They still buy their energy from Russia. They just lie about it.

18:07

They lie about it. They get it from the Indians. They get it from uh from the Turks. No

18:14

one talks about Turkstream, you know, sit there and blew up Nordstream, but nobody talks about

18:19

Turkstream and how all that Russian gas is going through Turkey straight up into southern Europe. No one talks about

18:24

that. Europe is so full of, you know what, it’s not even funny.

18:30

There is no Europe. We waste far too much time talking about these people.

18:35

They’re the giant nothing burger. They will have nothing to do with any peace in Ukraine. Nothing. Trump gives

18:43

him the time of day. Russia doesn’t. Do you see Russia worrying about Europe?

18:50

No. They’ll talk to Donald Trump. They won’t talk to Europe.

18:56

Why? What’s in it for Russia? What does France have to offer?

19:04

Russian food’s better. I know. I just ate a whole bunch of it.

19:09

You know, Russia’s a cleaner place. You know, Paris is just a filthy

19:15

cesspool of a city nowadays. Moscow clean. You can go to any a third tier

19:22

Russian city. It’s cleaner and more modern than anything Paris has to offer.

19:27

Why do people think the Russians need Europe or want Europe or care about Europe? They used to, but Europe

19:32

divorced Russia. It’s not the other way around. Russia didn’t walk away from Europe. Europe walked away from Russia.

19:40

And Russia’s moved on. So we we spend far too much time talking

19:46

about Europe. I just if the second somebody says British troops, where are they coming

19:52

from? Name the unit. Name the unit. Can’t, can you? You don’t even know what

19:58

unit is going to deploy over there. How many tanks do they have? Not that many. Can they logistically sustain them? Do

20:05

they have the heavy transport capability to move these tanks from their barracks in England to where are they going to

20:12

go? You going to go overland into Romania? You’re going to come in by ship

20:18

and then Romania. You going to set up a big logistics base there with what troops? With the great British logistic

20:24

expeditionary force, you know, and then and then what? Now you’re going to project them into

20:30

Ukraine over what line of communication? And when they get there, what’s the rotation thing? Is this a six-month

20:36

tour? So, you got to be careful Britain because you don’t have enough troops

20:41

because let’s say you put 5,000 in. That means you need at least 15,000 committed to the mission. That’s most of your army

20:49

because you’re pathetic and you’re small and you’re stupid and you’re useless and you’re meaningless and you haven’t trained and your guys are fat and it and

20:56

then we get to the French. What French troops are going to go? They

21:01

had to cannibalize everything just to get this expeditionary battalion sent to Romania. Now,

21:08

now they want to turn into a brigade with what troops? With what equipment?

21:15

How do you sustain it? They did a major logistics exercise a couple years ago.

21:20

It capped out, I think, at 12,500 is the maximum troop flow they that

21:26

France is capable of putting through right now. So, this is a big deal.

21:31

How do you get troops from A to B? And then how do you sustain them? Because

21:36

you know when troops show up, they need food, a lot of it. They eat. They need

21:43

electricity. Where are your generators? Where’s the fuel? Where’s the trucks to transport the fuel? Where’s the spare

21:49

tires? What happens when these trucks start breaking down? Do you have a m a mobile maintenance team? Where’s it? Can

21:54

it deploy? Friends can’t do any of this. None of it. Nobody can but us, America.

22:01

We’re the only ones capable of doing any of these things out of NATO.

22:08

Mark Rut, secretary general of NATO, right? You know, he used to be the secretary of or the minister of defense

22:14

for Netherlands and under him the Dutch military went straight to hell. They had major

22:19

exercises where their troops actually had to run around go bang bang bang bang bang because they didn’t have any

22:25

functioning weapons or ammunition. And now he’s the secretary general talking about rebuilding great military might to

22:31

take on Russia. What a Before we talk about Europe, you’ve got

22:37

to tell me what Europe’s got. What Europe brings to the table. And you can’t. They got nothing. They bring

22:43

nothing to the table. The only people wasting time about Europe is America and the in the media.

22:51

You don’t see Russia worrying at all about this at all. They’re just not.

22:59

The reason that I think Europe is important is I’m not comparing Russia to

23:05

Europe militarily. I’m just talking about the security of the region. Just imagine the United States comparing its

23:11

military to Mexico or to Canada. It’s not even comparable. But after all for

23:17

the security of the region you need to have a an agreement some sort of you

23:23

know mutual understanding between the parties involved in that region no you don’t

23:30

Ukraine is Russia there is the agreement Ukraine is Russia can be part of Russia

23:36

can be some sort of is part of Russia will be part of Russia not can be

23:41

but the western part of Ukraine never going to be part of Russia oh it was part of Russia Russia is part of the Soviet Union.

23:48

You know, they beat the bander once. You do know that, right, Nema? They beat the banderas once. They arrested them all. They killed a whole bunch of them.

23:54

Kicked everybody else. Russia will do it again if they have to. Now, you know,

24:00

Natishkin, the uh the the intelligence guy had a conference earlier this summer. We talked about giving it to Poland. I mean, that would be the

24:07

ultimate, you know, gotcha move to all those little Banderas son of a out

24:12

there because the polls know Volin massacre. The polls couldn’t wait to get a hold of these Bandara scum and beat

24:19

them into submission. Um, you know, that could happen. Um, how about the uh

24:25

Rufanians? You know, those Hungarians that are living down there and they’re getting beat up by the Ukrainians right

24:30

now. Hungary wants them back. There’s a whole bunch of Romanians that want to go to Romania as well. There could be the

24:36

partition of Europe. The Russians already discussed this. Okay, but that’s not a security guarantee. That’s just

24:42

chopping up dead meat. That’s just taking the the dead Ukrainian body and go b get rid of it. B, get rid of the

24:48

spoiled parts. B. And Russia takes the rest. Ukraine doesn’t exist. It’s a dysfunctional

24:55

nation. The most corrupt place on the planet. They’ve sold their women into the se sex trade trade. Go go go go go

25:02

to Europe. Go to any major city. Take a look at who the prostitutes are.

25:08

Ukrainian women. You know, that’s what Ukraine’s done.

25:13

Their men are dead and the women have sold themselves into prostitution. Go to go to Kiev. Go to Klitschkov. You

25:21

know, the great mayor, nice guy, boxer. He owns half the whouses in Kiev. and he

25:27

staffs him with women who have lost their everything, whose husbands have died on the front, who don’t have anything because they’ve been denied the

25:33

pension. So he comes in, he says, “You’re my prostitutes now.” And he sends half them over to Europe to

25:40

make money. This is Ukraine. This is the reality. The West ignores it. The people that know it are the mercenaries that go over there. They know because all they

25:46

do is get drunk and get laid and then they die on the battlefield. This is the reality.

25:52

This is the reality of Ukraine. It’s a piece of crap country whose

25:58

people have long ago lost any notion of unity and pride and everything. They’ve

26:04

sold themselves out. Their only salvation is through Russia.

26:09

Their only salvation because the Russians are the only ones who care about them. Nobody else cares about

26:15

them. If you cared about Ukraine, you wouldn’t allow this to happen.

26:20

1.7 million dead Ukrainian soldiers.

26:29

Does that not resonate? You know, so let’s just stop talking about Europe and security guarantees.

26:35

Europe doesn’t provide any Europe can’t even secure itself. Let’s talk about the reality of Europe

26:41

and security guarantees. There is no air defense system in Europe. None.

26:50

Russia could destroy all of Europe in a simple oneweek long air campaign.

26:55

Russia’s building a thousand Shahed drones, Shahit style drones a day. They

27:01

stock up, you know, because they, you know, they they’re they’re expending, you know, 5 600 a day max output, but,

27:08

you know, they may get up to a thousand. But the point is, the Russians have the ability in a very short period of time

27:14

to flood Europe with 50,000 drones. 10,000 over five days and there won’t be

27:21

anything left standing in Europe because they have nothing to defend themselves with. They have no air defense. None.

27:26

Zero. And then we’re not even talking about Arashnik. We’re not even talking about, you know, Kenzah. We’re not even talking

27:32

about Zir Khan. We’re talking about drones. Europe can’t defend itself.

27:39

This is the reality. I don’t know why people don’t get it.

27:44

The European the Poles run out of ammunition in 14 days. The British run out of ammunition in seven days, but it

27:50

doesn’t matter because they’ll run out of troops in two. The French won’t even get out of the barracks.

27:56

The Germans, 16% said they’d fight for Germany if it was invaded. 16%.

28:03

Now we’re talking about German troops, you know, moving, invading someone else. No one will do that.

28:10

You have insane people up there talking, you know, Starmer’s talking about, you

28:15

know, this that and the other thing. The British people won’t follow him. They won’t fight this war. The French people

28:21

won’t follow Mcronone. All this stuff is just hot air. Nobody’s going to do it because they can’t do it.

28:27

They don’t want to do it. You know, that these leaders are so totally

28:35

disengaged from reality. Their people don’t care about this.

28:41

They’re not willing to die for Ukraine. The American people are that way, too. Now, this is why Trump, you know,

28:49

basically Marco Rubio after the Alaska summit said, “Yeah, we’re we’re done. We’re not sending any more weapons to Ukraine.

28:57

That’s it. Prayer rides over. If Ukraine wants a weapon, they got to have the Europeans buy it.” Like I said, the

29:04

Europeans aren’t buying it off the shelf. to buy it out of the catalog, which means it ain’t going to be ready for years.

29:10

So, what does Europe want?

29:15

You want a European security framework? Russia handed them a treaty December 17,

29:21

2021. When Europe dusts that off and opens it up and says, “We’re willing to talk

29:27

about this,” then Russia will listen to it. But until then, it’s just it’s it’s

29:32

it’s fantasy. It’s like a high school football player talking about which NFL

29:38

team he wants to lead to the Super Bowl. Got to graduate high school first, son.

29:44

Then you got to play college. You got to hope you get drafted onto a winning team, you know. But until then, it’s

29:51

just a fantasy. It’s never going to be fulfilled. Russia is the NFL.

29:58

Europe are freshman high school football team. That’s it. That’s all they are.

30:04

Where is Poland and its policy? You don’t see the president of the president

30:11

of Poland coming to the United States. Poland was, you remember when this war

30:16

started, one of the most hawkish countries toward Russia during those

30:24

days was Poland and somehow they have been transform into a new position. What

30:30

is the new position of the Polish government in Ukraine?

30:37

Well, I think Poland’s become reality based. Um, I mean, first of all, I think, you know,

30:43

some of the nationalists are saying if we just shut up, we’re going to get Western Ukraine. Just shut up. Don’t say

30:49

another word. And and they’re hoping for for that

30:56

outcome. They have to be careful because they have to remember that if they get

31:01

Western Ukraine, that was part of the land swap. You know, Russia takes over

31:06

uh that part because that’s, you know, the Kurzone line. Um but they

31:12

compensated by giving, you know, Poland Cissia and Pomerania, East Prussia.

31:19

Start redrawing the line the other way. What do you think the Germans are going to do? Sit back and go, “That’s okay.

31:25

Cool. No, Germans will say we get our lands back, too. Start redrawing the lines on

31:32

a map. Very dangerous thing. Very dangerous thing. Which is why Russia didn’t want to do it. Again, I just have

31:39

to remind people, you know, uh the Russians been over, you know, they bent backwards

31:47

to keep the 1991 frontiers in place even though they didn’t like it. Russia always believed that Donbass belonged to

31:53

it. They always believed that Crimea belonged to it. But they said, “We will recognize the 1991 frontiers because

32:00

that’s that was what was agreed to. It wasn’t Russia that broke any deals. They

32:06

didn’t break the 1994, you know, Budapest memorandum. Ukraine did.”

32:12

Because I I I think everybody tends to gloss over the thing about neutrality.

32:19

Oh dear, Ukraine want to join NATO. ah you’re not neutral anymore. I guess the

32:25

Budapest memorandum doesn’t apply anymore. Oh, they they forget about all this aspect of it. Um you know

32:34

the the the the Russians even when 2014 started they didn’t they

32:41

didn’t go to absorb Donbas. They just said we’re here to protect the rights of the of the people there. But the Minsk

32:46

Accords was all about having Ukraine maintain control over those territories as part of Ukraine.

32:52

You know, and Crimea was only taken after the the thugs, the AOV people tried to bumrush Ukra Crimea and take it

32:59

and due to due to Sevastapable what they did in Odessa, you know, burn people alive and that sort of thing. And the

33:05

Russians said, “Hell no.” Well, they got the big naval base here and they just said that’s just not going to fly.

33:11

Little green men showed up and Crimea is now part of Russia. But that wasn’t Russia’s plan.

33:17

That wasn’t their intent. They didn’t start this. Russia didn’t start the Maidon. We did.

33:24

The United States, Europe. They didn’t start Donbos. And even when,

33:30

you know, after the Donbos fighting got going, you know, the the the Balt is a village in I think uh either Lugansk or

33:37

northern Donk. Um and the Ukrainian army was surrounded. They were going to all be killed and Putin was ready to give

33:44

the order, kill them all. Because you know what these you know they they declared an anti-terrorist operation. I

33:50

don’t know how many Americans are aware of that that when after the AOV people came in and threatened to get rid of

33:56

language, religion, culture to erase the Russian identity um and the Russians

34:02

rose up and said you can’t erase us. Porhenko called them terrorists

34:08

and initiated an anti-terrorist operation which then had Ukrainian

34:14

artillery firing into villages and towns and cities slaughtering civilians

34:20

slaughtering. Even after that when Russia came in to help they said

34:26

under the Minsk Accords these territories belong to Ukraine we just need you to recognize the rights of the

34:32

Russian people. They get to practice the Orthodox faith, they get to speak their language, and they get to preserve their

34:39

history. You don’t get to go around and knock down monuments and all this kind of stuff. Um, that’s all Russia wanted.

34:47

And even in the end, you know, when the Russians, you know, started the special military operations only because Ukraine

34:54

mobilized 60 to 80,000 troops, began a 10-day pre-invasion bombardment, intensifying the bombardment of the

35:00

Donbass, and the Russians said, “We have to preempt this.” So they did, but their strategy wasn’t to take territory.

35:07

They were willing to give it all back. They just wanted peace. It was the West

35:12

that changed everything. You know, so this this notion that Russia is the big bad guy that’s been out to get the

35:18

Ukrainians. No, this war was thrust upon them. But now they’ve made a decision.

35:25

Ukraine clearly doesn’t want to respect the rights of the Russian people. As Vladimir Putin said in his speech to the

35:32

Duma in 2005, you know, the greatest tragedy of the last century was the collapse of the

35:37

Soviet Union. Oh, see, he wants to have this. No, listen to the rest of it because overnight tens of millions of

35:43

Russians were homeless. He said, I am the president of the Russian Federation and the Russian nation and the Russian

35:50

nation knows no borders. The Russian nation is where Russian people live. And Russian people are defined by their

35:56

language, their history, their culture, their religion. And it’s my job as the Russian president to protect them, to

36:02

defend them. And that’s what he did. And when it became clear that the west, neither the

36:08

west nor Ukraine were willing to behave responsibly, the Russian president said, “Then I will

36:17

protect these people by absorbing them into mother Russia.” They had referendum

36:24

and then Putin went to the to the Duma. The Duma voted. I mean, all was very procedural.

36:30

Went according to the constitution. But now these lands belong to Russia

36:36

forever. Russia will never give them up. And that’s where we’re at. It’s a it’s a

36:43

Russian reality that the West just continues to ignore. I hope that Donald Trump had some sort

36:50

of moments with the European leaders to be merely honest with them that we’ve

36:56

reached we’ve sent everything to Ukraine. we cannot do anything economically and militarily to defeat

37:03

Russia. These are and instead of bragging about how powerful he is, how

37:09

strong he is, how can he change the everything, he he needs to be little bit

37:16

humble about what’s going on with Russia and just

37:21

talking in in in an honest way with Europeans. I think that would help them

37:27

a lot to understand the situation. But how do you talk honestly with Mcronone?

37:32

Because to do it, you have to tell him to sit down and shut up and listen.

37:38

Do you really want to humiliate the French president that way? Mer should have been cut off midstream.

37:44

If he said ceasefire one more time, president slapped his hand on the table and said, “Shut up.” Well, part of if we’re not going to have a ceasefire,

37:49

don’t you understand? If you continue to articulate for a ceasefire, then you’re not welcome at this table because you don’t matter. You don’t count. You’re part of the problem, not the solution.

37:55

Get the hell out of the White House. That’s what the president should have done. Maloney rolled her eyes one more

38:00

time. That’s one too many eye rolls. You’re out of here. You’re fired. Anybody else? You opened your mouth,

38:07

you’re fired. You see, your job is to listen to me. I’m the president of the United States right now. I’m the only voice that counts. I’m here. Zalinski,

38:15

like I said, leave. You’re not going home. We’re throwing you out an airplane over the uh over the Atlantic. Um you’re

38:21

not the president of Ukraine anymore. This is what the president needs to do, take charge, take control.

38:27

But instead, he has a midterm election coming up and he has to play to, you know, has to be careful not to alienate,

38:34

you know, a um a base that right now will still remain loyal to him. But, you

38:40

know, if the foreign policy is too screwed up, they may, you know, move if the and the Democrats could get their

38:45

act together, you know, they may transition back to the Democrats. Um, so he has to play a domestic political

38:51

game. And that’s what a lot of this is. It’s just domestic political gamesmanship. But every time it come every time he’s

38:58

had the opportunity to put the hammer down on Russia with the increased sanctions, he’s always backed off.

39:04

And I understand this, if he’s not going to sanction Russia, he sure hell isn’t going to allow Europe to put troops on

39:10

the ground in Russia because that’s war. Literal war.

39:16

You’ve been to Russia last week. Donald Trump was talking about that when he was talking about putting troops on the

39:22

ground in Ukraine, he said that Puty’s tired of this war, but so he’s tired,

39:28

but he’s not going to commit suicide in terms to reach an agreement with you. Do

39:33

you feel how how did you feel in Russia about the people the way that they’re

39:39

thinking about the battlefield the Ukraine in the aftermath in achieving some sort of settlement in Ukraine

39:46

because somehow in the mind of Donald Trump they’re so tired of the war in Ukraine that’s why they can agree on

39:53

anything that Donald Trump is willing to put on the table. As I said the Russians are humane

39:59

people. They have souls and they’d prefer not to be going around

40:05

killing people. Uh but Russia’s looking for victory.

40:10

That’s it. There’s no talk of compromise in Russia. None whatsoever. Zero

40:16

tolerance for it. They want the war over, but they want victory.

40:21

No peace without victory. That’s the slogan. No peace without victory.

40:28

That’s the reality. Vladimir Putin,

40:33

he’s winning and he’s winning by a by a landslide.

40:40

It’s it’s everything’s going his way right now. And uh no peace without

40:45

victory. You don’t meet with the widows of the fallen soldiers and promise them

40:51

victory only to turn around and sell that the other. There’s a reason why

40:56

Vladimir Putin has 85% approval weight rating in a wartime under sanctions

41:02

because he’s seen as an effective leader. One of the things that makes him an effective leader is that he’s consistent. They trust him because when

41:10

he opens his mouth and speaks, that’s what happens. You there’s no mystery about what the

41:16

Russian position is. The Russians have articulated several times. Vladimir Putin himself. No mystery whatsoever.

41:23

It’s only the West that makes mystery and intrigue. But from the Russian perspective, their

41:29

leader has been straight up. The Russians are in this to victory.

41:34

In this to victory. What part of that doesn’t the West understand? To victory means victory. It

41:43

doesn’t mean surrender, compromise, frozen conflict, or any of this. Victory means victory as defined by the Russian

41:49

president. demilitarization, denazification, no NATO membership.

41:57

Yeah. When we talk about the unity within the BRICS countries, everybody was agreeing that Joe Biden has done

42:04

something that nobody could have ever done for bricks in terms of bringing all

42:10

of them together. You mean you mean Trump that Yeah. Biden Biden before coming

42:16

before Trump coming to power. But it seems that Trump is better than Biden.

42:21

Yeah. Cuz bricks under Biden bringing China and India the way together that no one was able to do it

42:28

before. I mean because both Brazil and India were weak links in bricks. Yeah. Weak links. India weaker than Brazil. Um

42:37

I mean this is why that you know the Brazilian summit was not the smashing

42:43

success that it could have been. You know coming off of Kazan. The Russians gave them every chance to have this, but

42:50

Lula is nervous. You know, he’s got a whole cabinet full of people that are proTrump and pro America. Uh India, you

42:56

know, they have it next year and there’s a lot of concern about what would happen to Well, my god. Um there ain’t no

43:03

concern anymore. Thank you, Donald Trump. You got all five BRICS leader, original core members saying, “We’re on

43:10

the same page. We’re in this together.” You got Iran, you know, a bricks member

43:15

now benefiting from this. Donald Trump has, you know, taken the Elmer’s glue

43:22

that was holding bricks together and um it’s now been replaced with the the the

43:29

the best superlue there is. I mean, you know, bricks

43:35

is is I still I mean I I still think China and India is a is a big issue, but

43:42

thanks to Donald Trump, their leadership are saying we we have to get along. We have to fix these

43:48

things, you know, and India is just so mad at the United States right now for

43:54

betraying them. They tried to be a good friend and they just got betrayed and betrayed and I think Brazil, it’s over.

44:00

They’re China. I mean, you know, they’re China light. Um, you know, so America lost Brazil. We lost all of South

44:08

America. I mean, it’s just ridiculous what’s going on right now. We’re so bad that Venezuela and Colombia are talking

44:15

about a mutual defense pact. I mean, it was from Colombia that James Story, the

44:20

US ambassador, set up the Venezuelan operation. Um, you know, he was kicked

44:26

out of uh of Caracus. who went to Colombia and was, you know, out of Bokeat was running an anti- um

44:33

Venezuelan operation that led to at least one um you know, televised coup attempt uh with Juan Guaido and all

44:42

that. And today, Colombia and and Venezuela are on the same page. They’re

44:47

they’re team one. Um so it’s Yeah, thank you, Donald Trump. Only one president

44:54

could have done a better job of making bricks viable than Joe Biden. And that’s Donald Trump who ran on a platform of

45:00

saying that he’s going to destroy bricks. And look at what’s going on in South Caucuses. You see Iran is talking about

45:08

they’re going to establish a new corridor that connects Iran to the Black Sea in

45:15

Armenia. They’re going to they’re talking about it and the new agreement.

45:20

They’re improving the relationship with Belarus. Security, defense, everything they’re doing.

45:26

Belarus. Bellarus. Yeah. The possession, the president of Iran is in

45:31

Oh, Iran. Iran. I thought you said Azarbaian. No, I’m talking about Iran. Yeah. Iran. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

45:37

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It’s all changing, Scott. But look what look what happened with

45:42

Azarbaian. You’re following this, right? Yeah. You know, they tried to play

45:47

they tried to play stupid games in uh in Ukraine and Russia just took out all their oil. Blew it all up.

45:54

Now, um their their oil is contaminated with chlorides. Can’t be can’t be produced in any can’t

46:00

be processed in any refinery. They’re losing hundreds of millions of dollars a day. Um and because AIV is such an

46:07

idiot, the Russians just mobilized the Euro um their strategic reserve force and the Eurals have now moved down to

46:14

replace the fifth aid army. And if Azarbaian’s not careful, you’re going to have a Russian Iranian invasion that

46:19

gets rid of it in a day. Maybe a week. But there the Azerbaian

46:24

army can’t survive modern warfare. And believe me, Turkey would do nothing if that happen.

46:29

Turkey can do nothing. Again, Turkeyy’s all bluster. Understand this. the Turks to to to to project

46:36

military power into Syria required massive preparations uh big bases,

46:43

logistic bases and all that. You know, the Turkish air force wouldn’t last a moment over as a as a Azeri skies if it

46:50

was contested by Russia. Um and this war will be over so quickly.

46:56

If you remember how the uh Azeris incorporated Turkish drones and

47:01

overwhelmed the um Armenians, uh the Armenian troops just had no no chance whatsoever.

47:08

This is Azarbaijan’s future. They’ll find that all of their armor is destroyed. All of their logistics is cut

47:14

off. Their command and control doesn’t exist. And um if they move, they die. And they’ll surrender. The entire Azeri

47:21

army will surrender in inside of a week. and Baku will be jointly occupied by the

47:27

Russians and the Iranians. That’s what’s going to happen.

47:33

Russia’s not going to play around. Russia’s not going to allow a southern front to develop. Russia’s not going to

47:38

let Turkey project itself. You saw the meeting with the Turkish president and the Georgian president. The utter

47:44

humiliation that was dished out to the Georgian president. you know, the Turks,

47:49

you have to allow the Macheted Turks back into their homeland in Ojario so that they can become so Turkey can then,

47:57

you know, I guess there’s some uh obscure uh treaty clause that says that Turkey has the right of intervention in

48:04

Aaria to protect um you know, the the the Islamic population. So Turkey wants

48:09

the Islamic population brought back, 115,000 who were deported by Stalin in 1944.

48:15

Um it’s just humiliating to the Georgians. Um you know, so Georgia may end up

48:22

turning to Russia for protection. You know, you’ll have Russian bases in Georgia. Um and if Azarbaijan’s not

48:30

careful, it won’t exist anymore. And that leaves Armenia

48:36

who’s who’s you know, their prime ministers is playing stupid games right now. Um you know, the best protection

48:42

the Armenians ever had was the Russians. But Russia wasn’t there for them in the

48:48

last war. Well, let me let me give you a pro hint. If Vladimir Putin’s flying

48:53

into your capital city and you don’t meet him at the airport and he leave him standing on the

48:59

airplane, sort of put Vladimir Putin in his place

49:04

that comes back to bite you. And that’s what happened to Armenia. Um, you don’t

49:10

leave the Russian president standing on the platform waiting for somebody to show up to greet him. And uh, Armenia

49:18

did that. Now they’re paying the price. But the the Russians aren’t going to let the southern caucuses become a second

49:23

front. They will nip this thing in the bud. And for the Iranians, they’d love

49:28

nothing more than to go in there, you know, because there’s that giant Mossad Israeli base inside Azaraijan that, you

49:34

know, helps attack the Iranians just love to to resolve that issue once and

49:39

for all. So, it’s a dangerous game that Leo is playing, but he’s he’s going bankrupt right now because they can’t

49:45

sell their oil because it sucks. It’s bad oil. It’s got chlorides in it, and you know that that’s a that no refinery

49:53

wants to take this uh take this oil. Who who has convinced Donald Trump that

49:58

he can somehow go to Zangazur corridor to Armenia Aerbay? It seems to me a

50:04

British project. I don’t know how did Donald Trump end up there. Well, what’s I can’t remember his first

50:12

name, but Barack I think is the um the Tom Barack. Yeah, Tom Barack is the ambassador to to

50:19

Turkey. Turkey. To Turkey. He appears to be behind all this because now he’s the special envoy

50:24

to Lebanon. Now he’s the special envoy to you know the this I guess he’s the

50:32

Zong Zongazar uh Zangazour Zangazar uh you know ambassador because he’s the one that

50:38

came in there and and you know sold this bill of goods to the Armenians and the Azeris um 46 kilometers of you know

50:46

asphalt. How do you defend that? You can’t. It’s just stupid. Stupid.

50:58

Thank you so much, Scott, for being with us today. Oh, it’s it’s a pleasure. I always I

51:03

always feel like I I let you down because, you know, you want some uh high flulutin intellectual conversation like

51:09

you have with these other guys. It was amazing. Yeah, it was amazing because you and we are so happy that you

51:16

got your passport back and you could go to Russia and everybody’s happy.

51:21

Well, the trip was unbelievable. Audience love you. Yeah, it was the most I mean I’ve been doing you know so-called people’s diplomacy

51:27

for a long time and you know you know I I I went and spoke to the Iraqi parliament. Um I’ve addressed

51:34

parliaments around the world. I’ve engaged in, you know, intensive, you

51:39

know, preparations for a variety of issues. Um, this week I just spent in Russia was the most intensive

51:47

uh week I’ve ever done doing people diplomacy. They, my hosts work, they

51:52

came in, they said, “Well, we’re glad you’re here. You ready to work?” And I said, “Work me to the bone.” They did.

52:00

and uh if you know five days of non-stop, but it’s what we’ve done is invaluable. We just published the first

52:07

of the um interviews. I did over 30 interviews. Um published the first one today with uh Jana Lantra

52:16

Lantra Nova, something like that. I I fumbled her. I apologize to her to her face because in the interview I fumbled

52:22

it because as you say, I can’t even pronounce Zangazar, you know, and you want me to pronounce other names. But uh

52:28

you know she’s if you saw Ursila Van Vanderline tell Trump about you know get

52:34

the Ukrainian children returned. The Russians stole the children and all this kind of stuff. Well Jana’s the Russian

52:41

girl that rescued the children from the villages that were shelled by the Ukrainians, killing the parents, leaving

52:46

the children abandoned uh in basement. Uh she’s the one that went under fire and rescued these children and brought

52:53

them out. She tried to get them to Ukraine, but the Ukrainians wouldn’t take them. Um she tried to get them to

52:58

Europe, but they they labeled her terrorist for what she was doing. So off to Russia they go where they were well

53:04

cared for, fully accounted, protected. Um if a Ukrainian family and the

53:10

Russians list their names, they’re not hiding it from anybody. If a Ukrainian family says that’s our child, Russia

53:16

returns them to the family. That’s what the whole purpose is. It was to so they don’t die in a basement, you know. And

53:23

this is the girl that did it. So the f that’s the first interview that um that we published just today and we’ll be

53:28

publishing uh interviews at least one a day maybe up to two a day going forward. You know we got like I said 30

53:34

interviews so we got two weeks of material out there but the this will just blow your mind because every

53:40

interview just exposes the lies of the west. The absolute lies of the west. Um

53:45

and it also introduces people to just how decent the Russian people are. I

53:52

mean the these are decent human beings. They’re not perfect. Not at all. Um, you know, they make mistakes. They have some

53:59

ideas that I don’t agree with. That’s okay. I have ideas they probably don’t agree with. But at the end of the day,

54:05

what we do agree upon is that we have to learn to get along. We have to live in peace with one another. And these

54:10

interviews expose the reality of Russia unlike anything that anybody has ever

54:15

done. I can honestly say that what happened last week is unique in um in in

54:21

the annals of US-Russian relations and I’m I just feel like you know if if if I

54:27

drop dead of a heart attack today I accomplished something really great that what that was but there’s more to be

54:34

done. I plan on going back in November and continuing this because until we have peace you can’t rest on your

54:40

laurels. This was a good start, you know, but there’s so much more work that needs to be done. But this, yeah,

54:46

this last week was um it was memorable in every way, shape, and form. Um I’m

54:51

very glad I did it. I’m glad to be home because it was a

54:56

man, I felt like a, you know, I felt like a boxer after 15 rounds, you know,

55:02

just totally drained and pummeled and all that. And this is after each day and

55:07

then getting up the next morning and have to start all over again. But it was such a worthwhile proh project and

55:13

everybody I interviewed without exception everybody interviewed was a wonderful interview that provided unique insight

55:19

to this. So, um, yeah, it’s pretty cool.

oooooo
