Patriot Shortages and the War Defeat NATO Won’t Admit · International Flavor: Where the Truth Tastes Better

• 0:00
  Hello, good morning, welcome.
• 0:03
  I am Samuel Trapp.
• 0:04
  This is International Flavor.
• 0:07
  You are listening to DAM Radio, coming to
• 0:09
  you live from the Lake Ozark Real Estate
• 0:11
  of the Yard studio right now on one
• 0:14
  of the TVs in front of me, on
• 0:16
  two different channels.
• 0:18
  Where are we?
• 0:19
  Live Ankara, Turkey.
• 0:21
  Now, I haven't been to Ankara yet.
• 0:22
  I've been in Istanbul.
• 0:24
  I've spent a lot of time in Istanbul
• 0:26
  and I love it.
• 0:27
  I like flying in there.
• 0:29
  Ankara is the capital, but Istanbul is where
• 0:32
  all the shipping is and straight to Bosphorus.
• 0:36
  It's freaking beautiful.
• 0:38
  If you get a chance, you need to
• 0:39
  go and fly Turkish Airlines because they give
• 0:42
  you a free tour.
• 0:43
  If you have a layover there, you either
• 0:45
  get a free night stay somewhere as part
• 0:47
  of your ticket, or they'll give like once
• 0:50
  I got a boat trip through the Bosphorus
• 0:53
  for like six hours.
• 0:54
  They take you to lunch downtown.
• 0:56
  You know, every time you go, you get
• 0:58
  something else.
• 0:59
  It's part of your automatically included as part
• 1:02
  of your flight if you have a layover,
• 1:04
  right?
• 1:04
  So they want to show you downtown Istanbul
• 1:08
  and Istanbul is just beautiful.
• 1:11
  And once at night, it was really cool.
• 1:13
  They took me to a nighttime walk along
• 1:15
  the Bosphorus at night.
• 1:17
  It was fantastic.
• 1:19
  And so, and they had great, you know,
• 1:22
  beautiful malls down there and excellent.
• 1:25
  I went to this restaurant that the best
• 1:27
  seafood.
• 1:28
  Oh, it's fantastic.
• 1:30
  And sorry, just saw a guy kiss a
• 1:34
  guy on the TV.
• 1:36
  It's like, I don't need that.
• 1:40
  That's not something you want to wake up
• 1:42
  to.
• 1:42
  This is great.
• 1:44
  Thanks for that being on Pluto TV or
• 1:47
  whatever it is.
• 1:48
  It's not good.
• 1:49
  But anyway, all the videos right now are
• 1:51
  showing on the news from Ankara, Turkey is
• 1:54
  that Erdogan met Trump at the looks like
• 1:58
  it's at the palace is where they are.
• 2:00
  And they're taking a photo op now where
• 2:02
  the two of them are together and they're
• 2:04
  they want to talk about how close they
• 2:07
  are to really not all that close to
• 2:10
  be truthful, but they, you know, Erdogan has
• 2:14
  been around for a long time and thought
• 2:17
  of as generally a pretty good leader, but
• 2:19
  he's going to be critical about what's going
• 2:22
  on in Israel, no doubt there.
• 2:24
  And anyway, I, before the summit really gets
• 2:29
  kicked off and I was a little, I
• 2:30
  thought the summit was 7th and 8th, isn't
• 2:32
  that today and tomorrow?
• 2:33
  Because right now, if he's coming in there,
• 2:35
  what is it?
• 2:36
  It's seven 30 here.
• 2:37
  That means it's eight hours ahead there.
• 2:40
  They got to be, you know, three 30.
• 2:44
  And that means, you know, they're coming, maybe
• 2:49
  they'll have a dinner tonight.
• 2:50
  I don't know.
• 2:51
  We, I don't know the schedule.
• 2:52
  I haven't paid attention.
• 2:53
  I've been looking at the, so this is
• 2:55
  important to me and seeing what happens on
• 2:57
  the NATO thing, because you know, old, old
• 3:01
  money grubbing, Green Goblin will be there for
• 3:04
  another 80 to 90 billion bucks.
• 3:07
  The, the propaganda is everywhere on both sides,
• 3:12
  talked quite a bit about it yesterday, and
• 3:14
  everybody wants to ignore the pattern that has
• 3:17
  been developing, which I'm going to go into
• 3:20
  somewhat today on the eve of this, these
• 3:24
  talks where they're trying to get Trump to
• 3:26
  come in and want him to, you know,
• 3:29
  I don't know what to turn Russia into
• 3:31
  the enemy that isn't for us.
• 3:34
  And they really aren't the enemy for Europe
• 3:36
  that people want, and certainly not the enemy
• 3:39
  for Turkey.
• 3:40
  And Turkey and Russia are still relatively close,
• 3:43
  you know, NATO membership or not.
• 3:46
  And it's, you know, they're Black Sea partners,
• 3:52
  they, you know, they have to go through
• 3:53
  there, they are pretty close because of that.
• 3:57
  And, you know, Turkey has generally stayed pretty
• 4:02
  quiet, you know, about the Ukraine, Russia conflict.
• 4:09
  Now, that's not the Green Goblin's role.
• 4:11
  He's going to be there to, to with
• 4:14
  his hand out for more money.
• 4:15
  They're poor.
• 4:16
  They got nothing.
• 4:17
  There were articles and a commanding general gave
• 4:21
  a speech yesterday.
• 4:23
  And you want to know whether Ukraine is
• 4:25
  winning or losing and why this is so
• 4:27
  important is think about this.
• 4:29
  There's a general named Mikhail Fyodorov, who's Ukraine's
• 4:34
  defense minister.
• 4:36
  I can't remember, well, I don't think he
• 4:38
  has rank anymore, but he was military.
• 4:40
  Now he's just a defense minister.
• 4:43
  Just, you know, it's a it's a big
• 4:45
  deal.
• 4:45
  And he has several links.
• 4:47
  It came from Interfax, the new voice of
• 4:49
  Ukraine.
• 4:50
  Business Insider also ran it.
• 4:53
  And basically what Fyodorov said, is Ukraine is
• 4:57
  working for you want to know if Ukraine's
• 4:59
  winning or losing?
• 5:00
  Think about this and connect the dots.
• 5:03
  Okay.
• 5:05
  Fyodorov said Ukraine is working for the first
• 5:07
  time to directly contract procurement of Pac-3
• 5:11
  anti-ballistic missiles.
• 5:13
  German.
• 5:14
  He said Ukraine still receives missiles from the
• 5:17
  U.S., but not enough to fully supply
• 5:20
  Ukrainian air defenses.
• 5:23
  And thanks to Germany, he said, thanks to
• 5:28
  Germany, we concluded a large contract for hundreds
• 5:33
  of these missiles deliveries, which will begin next
• 5:38
  year, 2027.
• 5:40
  Ukraine still receives missiles from the blah, blah,
• 5:43
  blah, blah, blah.
• 5:44
  But we here's here's what he said.
• 5:46
  This is public.
• 5:47
  He said this in public.
• 5:49
  Okay.
• 5:50
  But we want to borrow these same type
• 5:56
  of missiles from some countries, including Germany, right
• 6:01
  now, so to speak.
• 6:02
  We need to borrow them right now.
• 6:05
  And we will return them later after we
• 6:08
  get them from Germany.
• 6:10
  So the guy said this in public on
• 6:13
  a public channel.
• 6:14
  Okay.
• 6:14
  This is Ukraine has future deliveries.
• 6:18
  We got those coming.
• 6:20
  But the deliveries will begin next year.
• 6:22
  Meanwhile, we need our partners to pony them
• 6:26
  up now, and we'll give them back to
• 6:29
  you later.
• 6:30
  And if you believe that, you know, I
• 6:32
  got the Straits of Bosporus in Turkey to
• 6:34
  sell you.
• 6:35
  How about that?
• 6:36
  And the new voice of Ukraine says the
• 6:39
  same thing this way.
• 6:40
  Fyodorov said Ukraine signed a major contract for
• 6:43
  hundreds of Pac-2 and Pac-3 missiles
• 6:45
  deliveries to begin next year, but wants to
• 6:47
  borrow missiles now from some countries and return
• 6:50
  them later.
• 6:51
  Business Insider says on July 6th, because of
• 6:54
  the Kiev strike, where virtually every Russian missile
• 6:58
  got through, Ukraine did not intercept any Russian
• 7:05
  ballistic missiles in that attack.
• 7:08
  And Zelensky said the reason was because they
• 7:10
  have insufficient interceptor supply.
• 7:13
  And Fyodorov said Russia is exploiting this critical
• 7:17
  shortage of Patriot interceptors and these Pac-2
• 7:20
  and Pac-3.
• 7:23
  So Russia is bombing at will in Kiev
• 7:26
  right now, and they're bombing the snot out
• 7:28
  of it because they're retaliating, number one, for
• 7:33
  strikes and killing of women and children and
• 7:37
  stuff like that, bombing of buses in Russia,
• 7:40
  which we'll get into in a minute.
• 7:41
  So basically, the plan for Ukraine, here's their
• 7:43
  brilliant plan, which they're selling you in NATO.
• 7:47
  This is a big deal.
• 7:47
  They need that $80 billion to try to
• 7:50
  figure out how to get the next $80
• 7:51
  billion.
• 7:52
  They just got $90 billion, couldn't have been
• 7:54
  three, four months ago.
• 7:55
  So it's every three, four months they need
• 7:56
  another $80, $90 billion just to pay for
• 8:00
  all the oligarchs stealing all the money, all
• 8:03
  the corruption over there, and none of it
• 8:05
  gets to the front lines.
• 8:06
  In fact, none of it, two-thirds of
• 8:08
  it never leaves Europe.
• 8:11
  So the money gets filtered through Europe and
• 8:16
  maybe into the U.S. if you're buying
• 8:18
  some of the NATO stuff.
• 8:21
  And, oh my God, there's a poll right
• 8:24
  now, what should the U.S. do about
• 8:26
  NATO, withdraw or stay in?
• 8:28
  And 57% say withdraw.
• 8:31
  I don't know why we're part of it
• 8:33
  anyway.
• 8:33
  We're basically it.
• 8:35
  Now, I don't know that I have concrete
• 8:36
  feelings about it one way or the other.
• 8:38
  I think if we're not going to dictate
• 8:39
  what's going on with it, we need to
• 8:41
  get the hell out of it.
• 8:43
  And I think it ought to focus on
• 8:45
  the North Atlantic and not over in the
• 8:48
  Southeast Asia.
• 8:50
  I don't understand what that's all about.
• 8:52
  But if Ukraine is saying, give us your
• 8:56
  interceptors now, when our contracted interceptors arrive next
• 9:00
  year, we'll replenish them.
• 9:01
  We'll give them to you then.
• 9:03
  Yeah, but you're going to be out of
• 9:04
  them then.
• 9:05
  You're not going to have any more then.
• 9:07
  And so when they arrive, you're going to
• 9:09
  be in the same thing.
• 9:10
  And if people really believe that they need
• 9:12
  them for their own defenses, then they're not
• 9:15
  going to give them up.
• 9:16
  My bet is nobody gives them up right
• 9:18
  now.
• 9:18
  That's what I would say, that nobody gives
• 9:20
  them up.
• 9:21
  So if Ukraine is already out, Russia's increasing
• 9:24
  the scale of its ballistic and hypersonics now,
• 9:26
  what does next year solve?
• 9:28
  And if next year's deliveries are pledged to
• 9:30
  backfill countries giving up missiles today, then the
• 9:34
  future missiles aren't really a new strength, are
• 9:37
  they?
• 9:37
  They're repayment.
• 9:39
  So it's just roll over your credit card
• 9:42
  debt to another credit card.
• 9:45
  And meanwhile, you don't have any people.
• 9:47
  It's a very big admission buried in the
• 9:51
  NATO air defense story.
• 9:54
  And Ukraine is losing the war behind the
• 9:57
  headlines.
• 9:58
  There's no doubt.
• 9:59
  It sounds clever.
• 10:03
  It's a clever idea to go out and
• 10:05
  roll your debt into something new.
• 10:07
  Oh, I tell you what, we bought those
• 10:09
  contracts from you that next year.
• 10:11
  How about you give them to us now
• 10:12
  and you take the ones that we got
• 10:14
  next year?
• 10:14
  I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger
• 10:17
  today.
• 10:18
  Wimpy from Popeye the Sailor Man.
• 10:21
  We could do that.
• 10:22
  If Ukraine is running out of interceptors in
• 10:24
  July 26 and the next major contract batches
• 10:27
  don't begin getting until 27, and Ukraine is
• 10:30
  asking NATO to strip their own shelves today
• 10:32
  in exchange for promises that they might get
• 10:35
  a replacement missile later, what's going to happen
• 10:40
  when next year arrives and they're already spoken
• 10:42
  for and they're not a new reserve for
• 10:45
  Ukraine?
• 10:46
  Russia knows this.
• 10:47
  That's why they're beating the snot out of
• 10:49
  Kiev right now.
• 10:50
  And Russia isn't just hitting targets.
• 10:52
  They're hitting the calendar.
• 10:53
  They're hitting the gap between what NATO promised
• 10:57
  and what NATO can actually deliver.
• 10:59
  And it's the same thing we've seen on
• 11:01
  the ground.
• 11:02
  So Ukraine lying about this, okay?
• 11:06
  The latest is Konstantinovka, whether Konstantinovka, the city
• 11:11
  we talked about yesterday, has really fallen or
• 11:13
  not.
• 11:14
  In front of this NATO summit, they can't
• 11:17
  admit that it's gone.
• 11:18
  They can't do it.
• 11:19
  But here we are.
• 11:20
  Do you remember Bakhmut?
• 11:22
  Bakhmut was two and a half years ago.
• 11:25
  We never, you know, the Russians, you know,
• 11:27
  we never lost Bakhmut.
• 11:30
  Oh my God, we didn't lose Bakhmut.
• 11:32
  Those Russians are nuts.
• 11:33
  Bakhmut is 100 kilometers in the rear now
• 11:36
  and nobody's still admitted to losing it.
• 11:39
  You know, you never admitted it.
• 11:40
  Same thing with Pokrovsk.
• 11:42
  Remember, I was talking about Pokrovsk, Myrnogrod, all
• 11:45
  these areas six months ago, five months ago?
• 11:49
  You know, what about that?
• 11:51
  They never lost those cities either.
• 11:53
  Meanwhile, now we're in Konstantinovka and the Ukrainians
• 11:56
  want to keep saying, well, we got Konstantinovka.
• 11:58
  And then they'll admit it in a few
• 12:00
  weeks that Konstantinovka really has fallen.
• 12:03
  And, but they won't do it right now
• 12:05
  because they have to have something positive.
• 12:07
  So what are they doing that's positive?
• 12:09
  You know, the same logic is as with
• 12:12
  the air defense war.
• 12:13
  We just have to keep the narrative going
• 12:15
  to get the next batch of money.
• 12:18
  That's it.
• 12:19
  We need the next pile of 80,000.
• 12:23
  Ukraine didn't lose Pokrovsk till the map quietly
• 12:25
  changed.
• 12:26
  Ukraine has not lost Konstantinovka, according to Kiev.
• 12:29
  Russia says they have 13,500 dead Ukrainian
• 12:35
  soldiers in Konstantinovka right now.
• 12:39
  And they offered a pause for them to
• 12:41
  come and collect the bodies.
• 12:43
  Ukraine says, we're not going to come get
• 12:45
  them.
• 12:46
  So Russia will take them, freeze them just
• 12:48
  like they did.
• 12:49
  And then once again, when they change bodies,
• 12:52
  Russia will get 50 to a hundred bodies
• 12:54
  and they'll give up 10,000.
• 12:57
  That's what had, that's what's happened historically.
• 13:00
  You know, back when they had the meetings
• 13:01
  in Istanbul, when they were talking in Istanbul,
• 13:07
  they exchanged some 18,000 or something dead,
• 13:11
  dead soldiers on the Ukrainian side.
• 13:14
  And Russia got an exchange like 320 of
• 13:18
  theirs, you know.
• 13:21
  I don't know.
• 13:22
  The Ukraine's plan is not a victory plan.
• 13:25
  It's borrowing air defense against a missile campaign
• 13:28
  telling lies right now about the status of
• 13:33
  everything with replacement missiles, paying back this missile
• 13:38
  debt next year, but they'll already be owed
• 13:42
  to somebody else.
• 13:44
  Now last night and the night before, three
• 13:47
  nights in a row now, I've been watching
• 13:49
  the videos and these are Ukrainian made videos.
• 13:53
  These are people shooting from Ukraine and posting
• 13:55
  it on Telegram, on the internet.
• 13:58
  There were some major explosions in their reports
• 14:02
  and they've take, took out, they say it's
• 14:04
  a uranium depleted, depleted shells that they took
• 14:08
  out and a warehouse full of, what do
• 14:14
  you call them?
• 14:17
  The missiles that's, the rounds that scatter, fragmentation
• 14:20
  type missiles.
• 14:22
  The ones that they used on the, on
• 14:24
  the shores of the ocean down in Crimea
• 14:26
  on that Sunday afternoon, kill family, you know,
• 14:29
  the Ukrainians did.
• 14:33
  And that was several years ago, but you
• 14:36
  know, it's hard to forget that kind of
• 14:37
  thing that you would attack families on a
• 14:39
  Sunday afternoon.
• 14:40
  That's crap.
• 14:41
  And so there was another video that I
• 14:44
  took and I'm going to share most of
• 14:46
  it with you, at least a heavy duty
• 14:48
  part of it.
• 14:49
  There's a, the, the ambassador at large for
• 14:54
  the ministry of defense of, of Russia.
• 14:57
  And his name is Mironovic, what the hell
• 15:00
  is his name?
• 15:01
  We'll have to get to him.
• 15:03
  Ambassador at large, Radion Valerievich, Radion Valerievich Miroshnik.
• 15:11
  And Radion, I like listening to him.
• 15:14
  He's, he's been on many of these talk
• 15:17
  programs that I listened to in, in Russian.
• 15:20
  And he was initially connected with Lugansk and
• 15:27
  the Lugansk People's Republic.
• 15:29
  He was involved in the government over there,
• 15:30
  like a member of, you know, the parliament
• 15:34
  or something like that.
• 15:36
  Okay.
• 15:37
  And he's right now he's assigned to military
• 15:40
  and terrorist crimes by Ukraine and Western support
• 15:45
  structures.
• 15:46
  And before that he was connected with the
• 15:48
  political diplomatic structure, Russian foreign ministry lists him
• 15:52
  as the ambassador at large since 2023.
• 15:56
  And so basically he gave like a 20
• 16:01
  minute discussion yesterday, because like I've told you
• 16:07
  before, the only thing Ukraine has left is
• 16:10
  drone warfare.
• 16:12
  That's it.
• 16:12
  They need more drones.
• 16:14
  And they, they have guys in basements shooting
• 16:18
  drones.
• 16:18
  I watched several videos yesterday of Russians and
• 16:21
  what they're doing is they had the Russians
• 16:23
  have their drones, their reconnaissance drones are out
• 16:26
  flying around.
• 16:27
  And I saw several videos.
• 16:29
  This is really, it's not distressing.
• 16:32
  It's not troubling.
• 16:33
  It's war.
• 16:33
  I mean, I get it, but they're, they're
• 16:36
  showing this on video and you don't get
• 16:38
  it.
• 16:39
  You don't see the blood and the gore,
• 16:40
  but you know what happened because this is
• 16:43
  how they show it.
• 16:44
  And several of them yesterday are how they're
• 16:46
  taking out drone operators inside of Ukraine and
• 16:51
  they keep pushing them further and further back,
• 16:53
  but the drones keep getting better and better
• 16:55
  and better.
• 16:55
  They sent one 2,500 allegedly kilometers.
• 16:58
  Now somebody says there's some Russian, Russian sympathizers
• 17:05
  of Ukraine that allowed this to happen in
• 17:08
  a city.
• 17:09
  It had, it was way East like in
• 17:11
  Ufa or something like that.
• 17:12
  It was way East inside of Russia.
• 17:15
  And further than that, you know, Bashkir and
• 17:17
  the, what do you call it?
• 17:21
  Baikal, Lake Baikal, North of there.
• 17:23
  I mean, it was really far East and
• 17:26
  they blew up another, the Ukrainians blew up
• 17:28
  another refinery in there.
• 17:30
  And they're saying this wasn't due to increases
• 17:33
  or improvements in Russian or Ukrainian drones.
• 17:37
  It's because somebody let a drone take off
• 17:43
  inside of Russia from a local place and
• 17:47
  then the Ukrainians controlled it and, you know,
• 17:52
  flew it from there.
• 17:53
  So that's, that's, Russians are putting up with
• 17:58
  that stuff too.
• 17:58
  I imagine the Ukrainians are as well, but
• 18:00
  there you have it.
• 18:02
  And so these, these drone strikes inside of
• 18:07
  Russia are basically all that Ukraine has left.
• 18:10
  They're losing the war everywhere.
• 18:13
  And all we're doing is delaying the inevitable
• 18:16
  by continuing to fund it.
• 18:19
  Right.
• 18:19
  And so Russians keep talking about the terrorist
• 18:24
  acts of the Ukrainians blowing up civilian infrastructure.
• 18:29
  And I'm going to go through that because
• 18:30
  Miroshnik gave, I mean, it was a troubling
• 18:33
  thing, showed video, showed pictures of it all.
• 18:36
  He showed everything.
• 18:37
  It was pretty bad news.
• 18:39
  And meanwhile, the Ukrainians are saying, yeah, we're
• 18:41
  winning.
• 18:42
  We're blowing up things inside of Russia.
• 18:45
  And the Russians are, are, are instead, the
• 18:48
  Russians are blowing up crap inside of Kiev.
• 18:51
  You know, they bombed the crap out of
• 18:52
  Kiev three days in a row.
• 18:54
  And the Russian foreign ministry published a list
• 18:58
  of companies, of facilities that they bombed and
• 19:03
  why.
• 19:04
  And they're all military industrial, like factories and
• 19:08
  stuff like that.
• 19:09
  And then they're, they're, they're, they're listing these
• 19:11
  things.
• 19:12
  Now, nobody's saying that Russia doesn't, you know,
• 19:15
  have, what do you call it, issues as
• 19:19
  well where they hit some, some things, but
• 19:21
  that are civilian in nature, but the targeting,
• 19:25
  they actually give you a list of targeting.
• 19:28
  Ukrainians don't do that.
• 19:29
  They never respond to the buses that are
• 19:32
  blown up, you know.
• 19:33
  And Miroshnik's got pictures of the buses.
• 19:36
  He's got the list of the people who
• 19:38
  died on the bus.
• 19:39
  He's got each of their photos and their
• 19:41
  pictures and their family members.
• 19:44
  And he's got everything.
• 19:45
  He's got the full backdrop of all of
• 19:47
  this stuff.
• 19:48
  And meanwhile, Ukraine just goes, yeah, you know,
• 19:51
  that wasn't us.
• 19:51
  Like Starobelsk, we didn't do that.
• 19:54
  You know, that wasn't us.
• 19:55
  Okay.
• 19:56
  Who was it?
• 19:57
  Yeah.
• 19:58
  Russia's blowing their own stuff.
• 19:59
  Yeah, that's right.
• 20:00
  You know, good call.
• 20:02
  So before I get to Miroshnik, I will
• 20:06
  take a caller briefly, see what he has
• 20:09
  to add to day.
• 20:13
  Hello, sir.
• 20:13
  How may I help you?
• 20:14
  Hello.
• 20:20
  Hello.
• 20:21
  Hello.
• 20:23
  Hello.
• 20:26
  I got nothing.
• 20:27
  Okay.
• 20:28
  Well, maybe not.
• 20:29
  I thought we had a caller, but apparently
• 20:31
  we don't.
• 20:32
  So we will get into Miroshnik and what
• 20:37
  he was saying, because it really was troubling.
• 20:39
  And he starts out with these claims that
• 20:42
  in quarter two of 2026, quarter two 2026,
• 20:48
  at least 3,040 Russian civilians were killed
• 20:55
  or wounded by Ukrainian action.
• 20:57
  422 deaths.
• 21:00
  This is a 76% increase from the
• 21:03
  prior quarter.
• 21:04
  He's claiming that since February 22, civilian casualties
• 21:09
  from Ukraine, Ukrainian drones inside of Russia are
• 21:15
  30,913, including 8,434 deaths.
• 21:22
  These are not military deaths.
• 21:23
  These are civilians that are being targeted.
• 21:26
  And under international humanitarian law, parties must, under
• 21:32
  the Geneva Convention, distinguish between combatants, armed combatants
• 21:37
  and civilians, and intentionally directing an attack at
• 21:40
  civilians is a war crime.
• 21:44
  So the database identifies the principle of distinction
• 21:50
  between these two as a fundamental rule that
• 21:53
  requires parties.
• 21:56
  This is a fundamental human law.
• 22:00
  I mean, this is something that everybody is
• 22:03
  signed up for, you know, that they have
• 22:05
  to do it.
• 22:06
  So probably the biggest deal is, and there
• 22:11
  were at least six, eight, 10, and I've
• 22:15
  seen these over and over and over again,
• 22:19
  these bus attacks.
• 22:22
  So Miroshnik is given his speech and he's
• 22:26
  angry.
• 22:26
  I mean, you could hear him talking about
• 22:28
  this and he's talking about just the quarter,
• 22:31
  but he's listing a whole bunch of things
• 22:33
  about buses.
• 22:34
  He discusses attacks on passenger buses in Akiva
• 22:40
  and Yanakiva in the Donetsk People's Republic that
• 22:45
  killed eight people and injured 12.
• 22:48
  And you should see these buses.
• 22:49
  I mean, they are blowing the hell up.
• 22:52
  And it's a marked civilian bus hit at
• 22:55
  night while people in it are sleeping.
• 22:57
  Now, I've traveled by bus inside of Russia.
• 22:59
  It's actually pretty cool.
• 23:01
  They have beds inside of there.
• 23:02
  So the buses, they're stacked like a bunk
• 23:05
  bed, right?
• 23:05
  And so you get in there, there's a
• 23:07
  bathroom in the back, you know, but all
• 23:09
  this is beds and it's a big bus.
• 23:12
  And you get in there, you got a
• 23:14
  private little cupboard, basically.
• 23:18
  You're sleeping in and it's, you know, you
• 23:20
  got a plug in for your phone and
• 23:22
  for all, it's a pretty cool concept.
• 23:24
  And it's for traveling, you know, further distances.
• 23:27
  And I took it across, was it Kazakhstan,
• 23:30
  Uzbekistan?
• 23:31
  Couldn't remember.
• 23:32
  I can't remember, but might've done it into
• 23:34
  Grozny from Vladikavkaz, can't remember.
• 23:38
  But either way, I've done it a couple
• 23:41
  of times and it's like being on a
• 23:43
  train in a train car and they have
• 23:45
  these sleeper places.
• 23:46
  Well, these are sleeper buses and you travel
• 23:49
  at night and it'll be a six, eight
• 23:51
  hour trip.
• 23:52
  And you get in there and you go
• 23:54
  to sleep or you watch a movie or
• 23:55
  you do whatever while you're, you know, or
• 23:59
  you, you know, in a perfect world, you
• 24:01
  sleep, you know, you have to get up
• 24:03
  across the border if there's a border crossing
• 24:05
  involved.
• 24:06
  And then, but it's a cool way to
• 24:07
  travel actually.
• 24:09
  And not very expensive.
• 24:10
  And it's, I mean, you meet a lot
• 24:11
  of cool people that way too.
• 24:12
  It's pretty neat.
• 24:14
  And anyway, so these people are in a
• 24:16
  bus sleeping at night and they blow up
• 24:18
  this bus at night with these people and
• 24:20
  it's sleeping.
• 24:20
  It's got kids.
• 24:22
  You know, these are civilian buses.
• 24:24
  And he says whether the drone targeting was
• 24:28
  operator controlled.
• 24:29
  And then he got into a discussion about
• 24:31
  AI assisted drones that are going out.
• 24:35
  Maybe that's AI assisted drone going out and
• 24:38
  just looking for something that looks military and
• 24:41
  blowing it up.
• 24:42
  Either way, the legal problem is the same.
• 24:45
  The civilian and combatant distinction is ignored in
• 24:49
  Ukraine for sure.
• 24:50
  And they want the Russians to suffer.
• 24:54
  And that's what, and not, they don't, they
• 24:56
  don't want Russian soldiers to suffer.
• 24:58
  They can't do anything about the Russian soldiers
• 25:01
  or they would, you know, and instead they're
• 25:05
  attacking buses inside Russia.
• 25:09
  And so they're, according to Miroshnik, they're conducting
• 25:12
  a drone war against civilians.
• 25:15
  And the briefing says it's from April 1
• 25:17
  to June the 30th, 2,760 civilians, large
• 25:22
  and small scale radio controlled drone strikes with
• 25:28
  371 people killed.
• 25:30
  That the drone supply to Ukraine during that
• 25:33
  time increased sharply by NATO in the West.
• 25:36
  And the result isn't any sort of battlefield
• 25:39
  victory in Ukraine.
• 25:42
  They're not using them there.
• 25:43
  They're bombing inside of Russia against civilian and
• 25:48
  business targets.
• 25:50
  Okay.
• 25:50
  Infrastructure targets.
• 25:52
  That's what they're doing.
• 25:53
  And, you know, he talked about children, 204
• 25:56
  children and teenagers were killed in the second
• 26:00
  court, or were injured, 21 killed.
• 26:03
  And the example, including a family car attack,
• 26:07
  they attacked a car with some kids in
• 26:09
  it.
• 26:09
  And a Bryansk attack on the Belarusian passenger
• 26:12
  bus, this happened a couple of weeks ago,
• 26:15
  that carried the athletes coming to on a,
• 26:18
  on a vacation and a strike on a
• 26:20
  school in Velika Znamenka.
• 26:25
  And then repeated strikes.
• 26:27
  He went into for quite a bit about
• 26:29
  the repeated strikes on rescue workers and medics.
• 26:34
  That as soon, you know, they double tap
• 26:35
  it.
• 26:36
  Somebody comes in and the Ukrainian forces strike
• 26:40
  the first site and then strike again when
• 26:43
  rescuers, doctors, utility workers, emergency personnel arrive.
• 26:48
  And over that same time period, 31 medical
• 26:51
  personnel injured, three killed, 36 rescuers injured, four
• 26:56
  killed during the last quarter.
• 26:59
  And so, and Medroshnik says that the Ukrainian
• 27:03
  fire on civilian infrastructure has risen from 450
• 27:07
  to 480 munitions today to 730 to 750
• 27:11
  drones per day across Russia.
• 27:16
  More than 55,000 fired at civilian facilities
• 27:19
  in the three months and in 42 Russian
• 27:23
  regions.
• 27:25
  And the, you know, Ukraine is using drones
• 27:29
  to place anti-personnel mines as well.
• 27:33
  And he talked about this.
• 27:34
  And improvised devices in roads, sidewalks, and pedestrian
• 27:38
  paths and civilian access routes in places like
• 27:42
  Alyoshki and in Kherson.
• 27:45
  They're putting, they're putting like anti-tank, you
• 27:50
  know, the things you put on the ground
• 27:52
  and people stumble on or trip on.
• 27:54
  They're just placing them in the middle of
• 27:56
  a road and so, you know, with a
• 27:58
  drone.
• 27:58
  And then the drone, you know, flies away
• 28:00
  or loses power or whatever.
• 28:03
  So the timing of all this, that him
• 28:05
  giving this briefing is important because the NATO
• 28:13
  Ankara summit is coming up.
• 28:15
  And NATO is listing Ukrainian support, defense, deterrence,
• 28:24
  and investment, more and more investment into this
• 28:27
  drone warfare is a major summit theme.
• 28:31
  And Trump is expected to meet Zelensky.
• 28:36
  You know, especially after his recent call with
• 28:40
  Putin and Zelensky.
• 28:45
  So while NATO gathers in Ankara to discuss
• 28:49
  it all, Russia is presenting a different pattern,
• 28:53
  not a battlefield file, but a civilian casualty
• 28:56
  file.
• 28:57
  The Western press will focus on, you know,
• 28:59
  Russia striking Kiev and those strikes, they absolutely
• 29:03
  matter.
• 29:03
  But nobody in America is being asked to
• 29:05
  consider what Ukraine is doing to civilians inside
• 29:09
  of Russia, Donbass, Belgrade, Bryansk, Kherson, Cyprus, Crimea,
• 29:14
  or Belarus.
• 29:16
  You know, on, you know, Western reports confirm
• 29:20
  over the last several days, major Russian attacks
• 29:24
  from July 2 to right now, heavy missile
• 29:28
  and drone loose, large explosions, casualties and damage
• 29:32
  across the city.
• 29:34
  And there's some kind of a uranium depot
• 29:37
  that people are talking about.
• 29:39
  But I haven't gotten a well-placed, I
• 29:48
  don't know, well-placed person reporting exactly what
• 29:51
  that is, any diplomatic channel.
• 29:53
  I've only gotten commentators talking about it.
• 29:56
  And so I don't want to say too
• 29:58
  much about it.
• 29:59
  But they claim that there's uranium and military
• 30:01
  industrial storage target.
• 30:03
  So I don't want to confirm that till
• 30:05
  it gets confirmed.
• 30:06
  But I suppose, you know, you don't want
• 30:11
  to sit around and say that Ukraine is
• 30:12
  only killing civilians.
• 30:14
  But if they're taking 700 drones a day
• 30:19
  into Russia and not using them to defend
• 30:27
  their front lines, you wonder what they're thinking.
• 30:32
  You know, they've already lost the front line
• 30:36
  warfare is what I think.
• 30:38
  It makes sense.
• 30:40
  They have lost.
• 30:42
  And that is, you know, the narrative has
• 30:45
  to continue to be the only thing we
• 30:47
  can do is be the gnat on the
• 30:50
  rear end of the water buffalo.
• 30:53
  And that's what we're doing.
• 30:55
  And so we're going to keep on bombing
• 30:56
  inside of Russia.
• 31:02
  Because we can't win on the front lines.
• 31:05
  Why don't they use the same concept and
• 31:07
  bomb the crap out of the Russian guys
• 31:08
  on the front lines?
• 31:11
  Then I wouldn't have anything to bitch about,
• 31:12
  would I?
• 31:14
  You know, nobody's claiming that the Russians are
• 31:16
  doing the same thing inside of Ukraine on
• 31:20
  the way there.
• 31:21
  They showed some videos about and these videos
• 31:25
  are harsh.
• 31:26
  I was telling you about them before.
• 31:28
  But get out and look up the get
• 31:31
  out on the internet and YouTube and look
• 31:34
  up their telegram and look up the is
• 31:39
  nanka I think it's called easy.
• 31:43
  N a n k a is nanka I
• 31:46
  think is or look up my order to
• 31:49
  majors DVA my order ma my order to
• 31:53
  majors basically, and they have this video that
• 31:56
  you can go out and they and they
• 31:58
  take all these videos and put them and
• 32:00
  put them on telegram.
• 32:04
  And these videos will show something like a
• 32:07
  Russian drone hovering over a place for a
• 32:12
  good long time, right?
• 32:13
  And it'll show Ukrainian soldiers come out of
• 32:17
  a basement of some small house somewhere, set
• 32:21
  up a Baba Yaga, which Baba Yaga is
• 32:24
  basically a kid's witch, but it's one of
• 32:27
  their types of drones.
• 32:29
  It's a it's a wicked witch.
• 32:30
  You know, if we if if we're telling
• 32:32
  a story to kids, we're talking about the
• 32:34
  boogeyman or the big bad wolf there.
• 32:37
  It's Baba Yaga and Baba Yaga is a
• 32:39
  bad, bad witch.
• 32:40
  And so Baba Yaga is there.
• 32:42
  But they call some of the drones that
• 32:44
  the Ukrainians make.
• 32:45
  They call them the Baba Yaga.
• 32:47
  And so these Baba Yaga drones are out
• 32:49
  there put on these pedestals and platforms.
• 32:53
  The workers or the soldiers come put them
• 32:57
  out, get them ready, lift them off, go
• 33:00
  back underneath in the in the basement that
• 33:02
  they're in, and they control them from in
• 33:04
  there.
• 33:05
  And so the Russian drone will sit there
• 33:07
  for a couple of times and watch them,
• 33:09
  put them in, and then they'll call in
• 33:12
  strikes with Fab 500s, Fab 1000s, Fab 1500s,
• 33:16
  which are those aerial bombs that are guided
• 33:19
  now.
• 33:20
  They didn't used to be years ago, but
• 33:21
  now they're guided.
• 33:23
  And so they drop these aerial bombs and
• 33:25
  basically the the military intelligence part is done
• 33:29
  with the first drone.
• 33:30
  And then they call in the strikes from
• 33:32
  the second drone and they get dropped from
• 33:34
  a plane that gets fired from another part
• 33:38
  of the country.
• 33:39
  And these things come in pretty quick with
• 33:41
  these guided missile.
• 33:43
  Well, they're not even missiles.
• 33:44
  They're Fab.
• 33:47
  Fab, F-A-B.
• 33:49
  And they have 500s, which is basically 500
• 33:51
  pounds or kilos of explosive.
• 33:57
  They have 1000s, 1500s.
• 33:59
  There's some big freaking bombs.
• 34:01
  And these things will come in and take
• 34:03
  out the entire, several houses, you know, to
• 34:08
  blow it up where these Ukrainians are there
• 34:11
  launching their stuff.
• 34:12
  And so, and the operator that's doing the
• 34:16
  drone that's the reconnaissance drone that is sitting
• 34:19
  out there filming the entire thing has, from
• 34:22
  the time he pulled up, watched the video
• 34:25
  or videoed the Ukrainians setting these babayagas, called
• 34:31
  in the strike on the specific location.
• 34:34
  And within a minute and a half, the
• 34:35
  bomb will show up and blow up the
• 34:38
  entire place.
• 34:39
  Now, you don't see the people getting killed
• 34:43
  because they're in the basement by that time
• 34:45
  operating the drone, you know, that they just
• 34:48
  launched or the several of them that they
• 34:50
  just launched.
• 34:51
  And these sites have three to six people
• 34:53
  launching drones from these basements.
• 34:55
  And so what they do is they go
• 34:57
  find a place where hopefully they're not going
• 35:00
  to be spotted.
• 35:00
  But these reconnaissance drones are changing the way
• 35:04
  that war is fought.
• 35:06
  Well, if Ukraine was doing something like that
• 35:09
  on the side of the front line, which
• 35:13
  they are too, but nowhere near the same
• 35:17
  amount of drones, you know, that they're sending
• 35:20
  all their drone supply into Russia.
• 35:24
  And now they're out for more drones.
• 35:27
  And they're after the political statement that we're
• 35:32
  winning.
• 35:32
  Well, how do you win?
• 35:33
  You make the people of Russia suffer inside
• 35:36
  of Russia with gas lines with all that
• 35:39
  other stuff.
• 35:40
  And that's the only thing they have left.
• 35:42
  They can't win in a war of attrition.
• 35:47
  And so Valeriy, Radion Valerievich Miroshnik, the ambassador
• 35:52
  I was telling you about, he's basically pointing
• 35:54
  that out, that they cannot win, they are
• 35:58
  not victorious.
• 36:00
  And so all they've done is gone to
• 36:06
  the default position of we're going to blow
• 36:10
  up civilians then.
• 36:12
  We're going to make you pay.
• 36:14
  Now, I think that's more of an individualized
• 36:16
  thing, and that there's no control in the
• 36:20
  Ukrainian army is what I believe.
• 36:22
  And I believe there's no control.
• 36:24
  And that these people are just evildoers on
• 36:28
  an individual level.
• 36:30
  Do I believe Zelensky's out there targeting civilian
• 36:33
  buses?
• 36:33
  I don't think so.
• 36:34
  But he is targeting inside of Russia.
• 36:37
  And this is the way it pans itself
• 36:42
  out.
• 36:43
  I wanted to make a comment about having
• 36:45
  to find or how to find some of
• 36:48
  these things on the free speech aspect.
• 36:53
  So a couple of things.
• 36:56
  There's throttling going on by YouTube.
• 37:00
  There's throttling going on by all the major
• 37:03
  propaganda channels around Western media.
• 37:14
  Same thing is going on in Russia, by
• 37:16
  the way, in different direction.
• 37:18
  But they can't always get ours.
• 37:21
  We can't always get theirs, their news stories.
• 37:25
  And it's interesting to me, because I study
• 37:29
  some AI and use quite a bit of
• 37:32
  that in some of the research that I
• 37:35
  do.
• 37:36
  I go out and I have several different
• 37:39
  platforms that I use, some of them out
• 37:41
  of China, some just because, just to see
• 37:44
  the difference.
• 37:46
  And I want to say a couple of
• 37:48
  words about free speech and the control of
• 37:51
  the narrative, because these claims and these stories,
• 37:58
  I don't expect Miroshnik's commentary, even on the
• 38:07
  Ministry of Defense of Russia channel, to be
• 38:11
  there for very long.
• 38:12
  I think it's going to be throttled or
• 38:14
  taken out completely.
• 38:16
  That's what always happens on YouTube.
• 38:18
  It gets throttled or taken out.
• 38:20
  It's happening even in AI.
• 38:23
  And it's pretty funny, because if you upload
• 38:25
  a couple of these links and say, listen,
• 38:28
  find facts about this from, I don't know,
• 38:32
  Times of India, from Al Jazeera, from Kyiv
• 38:38
  Independent, give me a variety of places.
• 38:42
  Give me something from Belgium.
• 38:44
  Tell me what the news is, how it
• 38:48
  is being slanted, and then tell me how
• 38:51
  it's being slanted in the United States.
• 38:53
  And somewhere in between all five of those
• 38:56
  versions, you might be able to find something.
• 38:58
  So when I download a story, I go,
• 39:00
  all right, now tell me about this story
• 39:03
  from other points of view from everywhere else.
• 39:06
  And part of the funny thing is that
• 39:08
  the AI slants it.
• 39:11
  It's pretty funny, because the AI will say,
• 39:16
  like for example, if Al Jazeera says something,
• 39:21
  they'll say, well, you have to be careful
• 39:24
  with that source.
• 39:25
  Make sure to call it an allegation.
• 39:28
  It'll say, call it an allegation, because that's
• 39:31
  not verified fact.
• 39:33
  But if it comes from BBC, it's verified.
• 39:38
  It's suddenly, and so they slant it all,
• 39:40
  and they don't give you any such warning
• 39:42
  if it comes from BBC, from Reuters, from
• 39:45
  any of that.
• 39:46
  And all I want to do is point
• 39:48
  out that that's the same exact thing.
• 39:53
  We throttle, in America, we don't put out
• 39:57
  the news that is really the news so
• 40:00
  that people can make their own opinion.
• 40:03
  You put out the slant, and you have
• 40:06
  to slant it before you release it.
• 40:10
  And that's the point.
• 40:12
  And so I argue with freaking AI.
• 40:15
  It's freaking funny that you go in there
• 40:17
  and go, well, wait a second.
• 40:19
  Why would you say that Maroshnik, and I
• 40:21
  didn't do this with Maroshnik, but here's an
• 40:24
  example of how it would work.
• 40:25
  Why would you take Maroshnik's comments as anything
• 40:28
  other than Maroshnik's comments?
• 40:30
  But he is a government official.
• 40:33
  He's not just some guy with a microphone.
• 40:36
  He's a government official.
• 40:38
  He's speaking on behalf of a government, the
• 40:40
  Ministry of Defense of Russia.
• 40:42
  He's talking on behalf of them.
• 40:45
  Marco Rubio, that's words from the horse's mouth.
• 40:48
  That's not an interpretation by somebody else.
• 40:51
  It's what he said on behalf of the
• 40:54
  government.
• 40:55
  The twist comes when it's all throttled, when
• 40:59
  it's all blocked, when you cannot get it.
• 41:04
  And that's the funny part for me, is
• 41:08
  when you can't get it.
• 41:10
  And sometimes it's worth reminding people that we're
• 41:14
  supposed to have freedom of speech in America.
• 41:17
  And I don't believe throttling by YouTube represents
• 41:22
  freedom of speech.
• 41:24
  And so I want to play for you
• 41:26
  a song because I'm going to take a
• 41:28
  break.
• 41:29
  And there's a dude I follow.
• 41:32
  And I've told this story before, but I
• 41:34
  don't know, it came across my feed one
• 41:36
  more time, and I'm going to play it
• 41:38
  again because I like it.
• 41:39
  And it's a dude by the name of
• 41:41
  Super Zhorik.
• 41:42
  And Super Zhorik is a comedian.
• 41:45
  I mean, think of Weird Al Yankovic, but
• 41:50
  Russian.
• 41:51
  And he's Super Zhorik.
• 41:52
  He's short.
• 41:53
  I think he's Georgian or Armenian.
• 41:56
  And he's a short, kind of Arabic-looking,
• 42:01
  Turkish-looking guy, you know, because they're in
• 42:05
  between, whether it's Armenia or wherever he's from,
• 42:11
  he's from an area in between Russia and
• 42:16
  Turkey.
• 42:17
  And anyway, he's Super Zhorik.
• 42:20
  And the music is, this is called Zolota.
• 42:22
  Now, I sang this in the Dominican Republic
• 42:25
  as karaoke one time.
• 42:27
  And to great success.
• 42:29
  There were some Russian people in there going,
• 42:31
  oh, my crap, an American sang that?
• 42:34
  We can't believe it.
• 42:35
  And that I would even know the song.
• 42:37
  Anyway, it's a funny video.
• 42:38
  And it's about girls that all they want
• 42:40
  is gold.
• 42:41
  And this guy's talking about women and gold.
• 42:45
  And that, you know, if you have the
• 42:47
  gold, you get the women, basically.
• 47:28
  I just like that video.
• 47:30
  It's crazy.
• 47:32
  So everything out of pure gold, basically, everything
• 47:36
  out of glittering gold, it's the word, out
• 47:44
  of unbelievable gold, basically, hard gold, cold, hard
• 47:47
  cash, glittering.
• 47:49
  Then it's all bunch of beautiful women, but
• 47:51
  they all want the, they all want the
• 47:53
  gold, right?
• 47:54
  So that is the song of the day.
• 47:58
  Super Zhorik.
• 47:59
  See if you can find him and we'll
• 48:01
  play one more.
• 48:02
  We'll play Chow Chow later by him, which
• 48:05
  is a funny song as well.
• 48:07
  So I wanted to talk about, because Miroshnik,
• 48:10
  when he was given the, this file, he
• 48:16
  had pictures of it all.
• 48:17
  He had the quarter wide total.
• 48:21
  He showed this, the, the drones in the
• 48:26
  specific attacks.
• 48:28
  And he listed all these.
• 48:30
  April 7, April 7, village of Velika Znamenka,
• 48:35
  Zaporizhia, an active school building where, you know,
• 48:40
  active evacuation was underway.
• 48:42
  Ukrainian militants sent several drones to the school.
• 48:47
  Second strike, double tap.
• 48:49
  After the first, this time they hit, they
• 48:51
  attacked children, teachers, rescuers, and doctors arriving at
• 48:55
  the scene.
• 48:56
  Three civilians, seven children and four adults injured,
• 49:00
  three killed.
• 49:01
  Two injured children and one teacher, serious injuries
• 49:05
  still in the hospital.
• 49:06
  This is an example of the double tap
• 49:08
  or the second strike.
• 49:10
  You hit the one.
• 49:11
  So if it's a mistake, why are you
• 49:12
  double tapping?
• 49:14
  You know, if it's a mistake, you hit
• 49:15
  a school, rescuers show up to rescue the
• 49:18
  kids and you hit it again.
• 49:20
  The next one, Sizran, drone hit on a
• 49:23
  residential apartment building.
• 49:25
  The night of April the 22nd, Astrakhanskaya Street
• 49:30
  in Sizran, a residential multi-story building, massive
• 49:34
  aircraft type drone attack.
• 49:36
  One huge quarter, the, you know, on one
• 49:39
  corner of the building, took it out.
• 49:42
  Two civilians killed, 12-year-old girl and
• 49:44
  her 64-year-old grandmother killed, 12 civilians
• 49:48
  injured.
• 49:50
  And he says this is a residential building,
• 49:54
  an apartment building, basically, that they were attacked
• 49:57
  on April 22nd.
• 49:58
  April 25th in Novolubimovka, a family car hit
• 50:03
  by a drone, a civilian car carrying a
• 50:07
  family.
• 50:07
  One child killed.
• 50:08
  He was an eight-year-old boy.
• 50:10
  Three civilians injured.
• 50:12
  A man was born in 1981, a woman
• 50:14
  94, and their 10-year-old child were
• 50:16
  all injured, but the eight-year-old is
• 50:18
  dead.
• 50:19
  So a man, a woman, and two children.
• 50:21
  This is a drone hunting as a civilian
• 50:25
  vehicle.
• 50:29
  Here's one in Belgorod, Russian, a civilian car
• 50:32
  hit by a drone on April 25th, the
• 50:35
  village of Bolbrova in Belgorod.
• 50:38
  Two civilians killed, man and a woman killed
• 50:41
  on the spot.
• 50:41
  16-year-old son survived with a concussion.
• 50:45
  And he says his son watched his parents
• 50:47
  die right in front of him, and another
• 50:49
  civilian car attacked.
• 50:53
  May 8th, Kaira Kherson, father and daughter killed
• 50:57
  by a drone.
• 51:00
  A 40-year-old man, his 15-year
• 51:02
  -old daughter, the girl died in intensive care
• 51:04
  from severe blood loss after the injury.
• 51:07
  Another example of Ukrainian drones targeting civilian vehicles.
• 51:12
  A mass drone attack on May 15 in
• 51:16
  the city of Ryazan.
• 51:19
  People asleep.
• 51:21
  A hundred drones intended to overload air defense
• 51:25
  and strike the city.
• 51:26
  Four civilians killed, one child, 28 civilians injured,
• 51:30
  four children, two multi-story residential buildings attacked
• 51:35
  and severely damaged.
• 51:37
  And it's a massive escalation on May 15.
• 51:41
  Here's the one that we've been talking about
• 51:43
  in Starobelsk.
• 51:44
  And I think, you know, him putting this
• 51:47
  as kind of a three-month-long tour,
• 51:51
  I suppose you could do the same thing
• 51:52
  on the Ukrainian side and put these together,
• 51:55
  but they never do.
• 51:57
  Because Russians generally are hitting targets.
• 52:01
  I'm not saying civilians aren't getting killed too,
• 52:03
  but the Russians, I'll show it to you,
• 52:05
  what they're putting out afterward.
• 52:07
  They have a list of the companies they
• 52:10
  hit and the address and what they were
• 52:12
  hitting.
• 52:12
  They put it out on the Ministry of
• 52:14
  Defense website.
• 52:16
  So Starobelsk, that school, this is May 22.
• 52:20
  He called it a black day in Starobelsk.
• 52:23
  It's a student town, a student settlement, 21
• 52:26
  young students killed.
• 52:30
  18 of the dead were young girls aged
• 52:33
  18 to 19, training to become teachers.
• 52:36
  94 people affected, injured.
• 52:41
  Some victims are still in the hospital and
• 52:43
  undergoing treatment at the time of the briefing.
• 52:47
  This is the most powerful single incident in
• 52:49
  the briefing because of the age, gender, civilian
• 52:52
  educational complex.
• 52:54
  And double tap here as well.
• 52:56
  They had three different series of strikes in
• 52:59
  here and the building was completely destroyed.
• 53:02
  And then the West completely ignored it.
• 53:04
  BBC, CNN, they were invited by Zakharova.
• 53:09
  Not a one of them showed up.
• 53:12
  They don't talk about it.
• 53:13
  You don't want to even notice.
• 53:14
  You don't want to talk, just like the
• 53:16
  girl's school in Iran.
• 53:18
  Nobody wants to talk about that.
• 53:21
  And hell, Trump said it was, you know,
• 53:23
  we think it's fake.
• 53:24
  It wasn't us.
• 53:26
  It was fake.
• 53:27
  May 25th, Gorlovka.
• 53:30
  Entire family killed in a passenger car in
• 53:32
  Gorlovka.
• 53:33
  Four family members, a 13-year-old girl,
• 53:36
  12-year-old boy, 40-year-old mother,
• 53:38
  43-year-old father attacked in a passenger
• 53:41
  car.
• 53:42
  May 31st, Starobelsk in Belgrade is on the
• 53:46
  Russian side.
• 53:48
  Medical brigade hit by a drone on Starobelsk
• 53:53
  in Belgrade.
• 53:55
  One medical worker, despite the strike, you know,
• 53:59
  the doctors picked up a wounded woman and
• 54:02
  took her to hospital.
• 54:02
  Anyway, June 17th, my birthday, Belarusian passenger bus
• 54:07
  carrying young athletes on a vacation to come
• 54:12
  into the Russian side.
• 54:13
  And so they came from Belarus in Bryansk.
• 54:17
  Group of young athletes were going to Gelendzhik,
• 54:23
  Russia.
• 54:24
  A Ukrainian drone blew up their bus.
• 54:27
  One pregnant woman was killed.
• 54:29
  Eight people were injured, including six children.
• 54:32
  And this is a Belarus bus.
• 54:36
  And he does not believe these attacks were
• 54:39
  accidental and were a provocation, is what he
• 54:42
  said in his briefing.
• 54:44
  Okay.
• 54:45
  June the 30th, Donetsk emergency ministry team hit
• 54:49
  while extinguishing fires and trucks.
• 54:54
  And a parking lot, two civilian trucks, Russian
• 54:57
  emergency ministry personnel arriving to extinguish two civilian
• 55:00
  trucks.
• 55:01
  And after they arrived, they were bombed and
• 55:04
  injured.
• 55:05
  The head of the department received injuries as
• 55:08
  in, and he died en route to the
• 55:11
  hospital.
• 55:12
  One injured firefighter helped save a truck driver
• 55:15
  by applying a tourniquet.
• 55:17
  You know, this is the secondary strike bit,
• 55:21
  you know, the double tap.
• 55:22
  It's part of their MO.
• 55:25
  And that's what they do.
• 55:28
  A passenger bus attacked at night.
• 55:30
  This is unbelievable.
• 55:32
  Eight people killed, 12 injured.
• 55:35
  Civilians were sleeping inside the bus.
• 55:37
  It's one of those sleeper buses.
• 55:38
  You can tell it from the blown up
• 55:40
  part.
• 55:41
  And the operator or the targeting system ignored
• 55:47
  the fact that it was a travel bus
• 55:50
  at night.
• 55:52
  And, you know, if a marked passenger bus
• 55:54
  is hit at night, it's kind of hard
• 55:57
  to presume that they're doing anything other than
• 56:02
  terrorizing civilians.
• 56:06
  Aktyabrsky in Belgrade, an ambulance was hit after,
• 56:10
  you know, picking up somebody.
• 56:12
  18-year-old young man injured in an
• 56:14
  initial attack.
• 56:15
  And when the personnel arrived in an ambulance,
• 56:18
  another drone hit that ambulance.
• 56:21
  Three ambulance workers injured.
• 56:24
  Here in this drone's mining, he went over
• 56:29
  some of those.
• 56:32
  A journalist from Azerbaijan asked him why you,
• 56:38
  you know, this, it's kind of a different,
• 56:43
  I don't know if this was a planted
• 56:44
  question or something from somewhere else, but it
• 56:47
  was a journalist from Azerbaijan.
• 56:49
  Afterward, the guy started taking questions.
• 56:51
  Do you remember the Crocus incident that was
• 56:53
  implemented by Ukrainian terrorists where they went into
• 56:58
  the Crocus theater inside, during a rock and
• 57:02
  roll concert, and just started blowing people away?
• 57:06
  And they killed like 150 or something like
• 57:08
  that.
• 57:08
  Do you remember that?
• 57:09
  When that, when that came out in Moscow
• 57:11
  a couple, three years ago, he said, why
• 57:15
  would the Ukrainian forces hit Crocus and Sadovod?
• 57:19
  They couldn't hit those places by accident.
• 57:24
  And Miroshnik says, you know, he said the
• 57:28
  Ukrainian side wages a terrorist war intending to
• 57:31
  intimidate the population of Russians, including Ukrainians in
• 57:37
  Russia, Azerbaijanis, Armenians, and others.
• 57:41
  And, you know, this was an older attack,
• 57:46
  but there was another Belarusian bus attack that
• 57:49
  is obviously outside of the second quarter that
• 57:51
  happened just a couple of days ago.
• 57:53
  Belarus one, there was a journalist from there
• 57:56
  and he said he, there had been more
• 57:57
  attacks on buses with Belarusian children over the
• 58:02
  prior two weeks.
• 58:03
  And that a second case occurred literally the
• 58:06
  day before yesterday.
• 58:07
  And Miroshnik says he doesn't believe the attacks
• 58:09
  are accidental and it's a deliberate provocation action
• 58:13
  connected to threats and pressure against Belarus.
• 58:16
  Do you remember Zelensky a couple of weeks
• 58:18
  ago saying, we're going to attack Belarus.
• 58:21
  You either get rid of the stuff you
• 58:23
  have on the front, on the borders between
• 58:25
  Belarus and Ukraine, or we're going to start
• 58:27
  attacking you.
• 58:28
  Meanwhile, they're attacking their buses that are going
• 58:31
  back and forth inside of Russia.
• 58:33
  Well, that would mean I got my visa
• 58:36
  yesterday, by the way.
• 58:37
  And so I can go to Russia now.
• 58:40
  My passport finally came back with my Russian
• 58:42
  visa.
• 58:43
  And last year I went from Minsk, Belarus
• 58:47
  to Moscow by train.
• 58:50
  Does that mean they're going to start blowing
• 58:51
  up trains?
• 58:52
  And I need to be careful about that.
• 58:53
  Or if I take one of them sleeping
• 58:55
  buses, because they're pretty cool, you know, you
• 58:58
  had eight hours to drive, might as well
• 58:59
  sleep in a bus.
• 59:01
  But now if Belarus buses are getting bombed
• 59:04
  when they head into the Russian side, I
• 59:05
  mean, Belgrade is south of the Moscow line
• 59:08
  to get to go from Minsk to Moscow.
• 59:11
  But if you're going from Minsk to Kazan,
• 59:14
  geez, you'd be going right in the area
• 59:16
  where they're blowing people up.
• 59:18
  And do I want to take that risk?
• 59:20
  I would just to, you know, I'm not
• 59:23
  saying I want that.
• 59:24
  I don't.
• 59:25
  But I certainly wouldn't not travel.
• 59:29
  Let's put it that way.
• 59:31
  But there were, you know, once again, they're
• 59:35
  attacking people that are clearly traveling on passenger
• 59:39
  buses.
• 59:40
  You know, it's this is terror.
• 59:44
  You know, this is what this is.
• 59:46
  And I don't know.
• 59:48
  Medical personnel, he gave the totals at a
• 59:52
  good number.
• 59:53
  Utility workers that show up, you know, 31
• 59:57
  of them, seven, 33, I'm sorry, seven killed
• 1:00:02
  and 26 injured.
• 1:00:04
  Utility workers that show up.
• 1:00:07
  And they gave, I mean, it's a good
• 1:00:09
  number of the ones that they provided.
• 1:00:12
  And, you know, you shouldn't discount these things
• 1:00:18
  just because it's put out by the Ministry
• 1:00:22
  of Defense of Russia.
• 1:00:25
  You shouldn't discount those.
• 1:00:27
  I mean, and they always show it with
• 1:00:28
  the backup and they always invite people to
• 1:00:30
  come and and see it to, you know,
• 1:00:34
  hell, if I had the backing, I'd fly
• 1:00:36
  over there and see it in broadcast from
• 1:00:38
  there.
• 1:00:39
  No problem.
• 1:00:40
  And have them show me.
• 1:00:41
  Hell, that's what I had to do.
• 1:00:42
  I had to go over there and see
• 1:00:43
  if they'll show me Starobelsk and see if
• 1:00:46
  I can go see it.
• 1:00:47
  I wonder if I imagine I could get
• 1:00:48
  to Starobelsk.
• 1:00:51
  I might have to do that.
• 1:00:53
  We're going to get into the Kiev attack
• 1:00:55
  from last night when the last half hour,
• 1:00:58
  but I'm going to play one more Super
• 1:00:59
  Jurek for you because it's funny.
• 1:01:02
  And this one's Chow Chow.
• 1:01:03
  And this is also a Super Jurek song.
• 1:02:01
  And you know, I'm a glutton, I'm cold
• 1:02:04
  on the inside.
• 1:02:06
  It's a tick between us, a tock between
• 1:02:08
  us.

  than Monika Belushi.
• 1:04:03
  You're beautiful, exciting.
• 1:04:05
  And a lot more pissing.
• 1:04:07
  And my life is sick.
• 1:04:09
  Only depends on you.
• 1:04:11
  You're the wine, I'm the swallow.
• 1:04:14
  On the body is the cold.
• 1:04:16
  It's between us, tick.

• 1:05:14
  Let's see my favorite part of that song
• 1:05:17
  is when he says T boy T boy
• 1:05:21
  kardashian You're my Kardashian a yacht boy Kanye
• 1:05:27
  West.
• 1:05:27
  I'm here Kanye West I find that just
• 1:05:31
  hilarious Anyway, I don't know why I like
• 1:05:34
  that song is pretty stupid.
• 1:05:35
  Both of them are pretty stupid, but they
• 1:05:36
  got a good beat and it's super Zhorik
• 1:05:40
  and It's a lot of fun and people
• 1:05:44
  dance to that stuff, you know And especially
• 1:05:46
  when you go to resort towns and so
• 1:05:48
  I've run into Russians in some interesting places
• 1:05:50
  in the world in Mexico Saw a guy
• 1:05:52
  with a huge hammer and sickle on the
• 1:05:54
  side of his on the side of his
• 1:05:56
  neck obviously living in the past with the
• 1:05:59
  Soviet Union, but he He was a big
• 1:06:03
  dude and he was with a couple of
• 1:06:05
  guys.
• 1:06:06
  We had a lot of fun down there
• 1:06:07
  and I like to hang out and See
• 1:06:10
  if you can get these guys Drinking which
• 1:06:12
  yeah You can get him drinking and have
• 1:06:16
  a lot of fun with him and get
• 1:06:17
  him singing songs and talking about military stuff
• 1:06:20
  There's a lot of fun to talk about
• 1:06:22
  what they did in the military verse what
• 1:06:24
  I did in the military and that kind
• 1:06:25
  of thing It's a it's interesting to me
• 1:06:27
  and I like it But I want to
• 1:06:29
  talk a little bit about Kiev under fire
• 1:06:31
  and what's coming on to a NATO in
• 1:06:33
  Ankara and the war narrative The war narrative
• 1:06:36
  it's breaking You know people are more and
• 1:06:38
  more people are thinking the way they ought
• 1:06:41
  to be thinking that the u.s Shouldn't
• 1:06:43
  be funding another losing war and that's what
• 1:06:46
  we're doing Like I said with the anchor
• 1:06:48
  a thing that we're talking about you need
• 1:06:51
  to be that a what do you call
• 1:06:53
  it?
• 1:06:55
  the poll 57% of people want us
• 1:06:58
  to get out of NATO Maybe it's time.
• 1:07:03
  I don't know.
• 1:07:03
  There's no reason for us to be.
• 1:07:05
  I mean seriously, we don't think the way
• 1:07:07
  they do They're a bunch of nuts in
• 1:07:09
  Europe They're loopy, you know, they they are
• 1:07:13
  all about war and all about somebody save
• 1:07:16
  us from big bad Russia But what's the
• 1:07:18
  problem if the basis for your big bad
• 1:07:20
  Russia story is false?
• 1:07:23
  That's the problem.
• 1:07:24
  That is definitely the problem So Maroshnik the
• 1:07:27
  guy was talking about on the civilian casualty
• 1:07:29
  file You know buses cars schools children's rescuers
• 1:07:33
  the military strategic response after the Stoddard Bell
• 1:07:36
  student strike and civilian attacks described Russia Over
• 1:07:42
  the last two three weeks has begun pounding
• 1:07:47
  Ukraine harder and harder, especially in Kiev and
• 1:07:52
  With a different level of intensity Everybody knows
• 1:07:55
  it remember me telling you a couple of
• 1:07:57
  weeks ago that the people in Russia We're
• 1:07:59
  not pushing them to say geez We got
• 1:08:02
  to get rid of Putin just like the
• 1:08:03
  Iranians weren't pushed to say.
• 1:08:05
  Oh, man.
• 1:08:06
  Let's all join NATO Let's all you know,
• 1:08:09
  let Donald Trump bless us with his presence
• 1:08:11
  and let him pick our next leader.
• 1:08:14
  No, that's not they Dug in deeper they're
• 1:08:17
  proud of their own country and you know,
• 1:08:19
  they've got reason to be you know and
• 1:08:22
  I don't know about Iran never been there,
• 1:08:24
  but Russia for sure does and The fact
• 1:08:27
  is that the people who believe that this
• 1:08:29
  is how you create collapse, you know, like
• 1:08:32
  Maria Margarita Semenyan yesterday that I was talking
• 1:08:36
  about and when what she was saying is
• 1:08:38
  they think that you know You push Russia
• 1:08:40
  and they're gonna collapse not so go Strider
• 1:08:43
  negative pattern is full.
• 1:08:45
  You cannot go there so this after these
• 1:08:49
  things that there's Kiev is no longer being
• 1:08:52
  treated as A politically shielded space.
• 1:08:56
  It's now being treated like the military industrial
• 1:08:59
  hub that it is there were 351 strike
• 1:09:03
  and decoy drones 25 iskander ballistics 8 zircon
• 1:09:08
  hypersonic 25 Ka 101 and iskander K cruise
• 1:09:14
  missiles and six caliber cruise missiles 20 ballistic
• 1:09:17
  Missiles launched in 15 minutes during one phase
• 1:09:22
  of the strike in the last two days
• 1:09:24
  This is the second major strike in four
• 1:09:27
  days and none of the missiles are Intercepted
• 1:09:30
  because they don't have any air defense So
• 1:09:34
  Russia's no longer merely answering the battlefield developments
• 1:09:38
  It's degrading the military industrial fuel air defense
• 1:09:42
  drone radar missile and ammunition infrastructure behind Ukraine's
• 1:09:47
  Fighting ability, you know, they don't have any
• 1:09:50
  fighting ability anyway But now they're taking out
• 1:09:53
  the other stuff and all of this is
• 1:09:54
  going on while NATO Gathers to discuss how
• 1:09:58
  they can possibly fund continuing the war Especially
• 1:10:02
  when there's nobody left to fight it July
• 1:10:06
  to give RT reports that Kiev and other
• 1:10:11
  Ukrainian cities were hit by combined drone and
• 1:10:13
  missile strikes Beginning around 2 a.m. Multiple
• 1:10:17
  waves of explosions until 4 a.m Russian
• 1:10:21
  Defense Ministry's position is that it's a response
• 1:10:24
  to the attacks by Zelensky's government against fuel
• 1:10:28
  targets and civilians and because Kiev's air defenses
• 1:10:33
  were attempting to engage incoming targets, but failing
• 1:10:37
  miserably and Russia's degrading their long-range strike
• 1:10:41
  capabilities or trying to with the Russian Defense
• 1:10:44
  Ministry saying targets include Facilities that produce drones
• 1:10:48
  missiles plants making electronic components and other military
• 1:10:51
  infrastructure the Western and Ukrainian reporting describes the
• 1:10:56
  July to attack as the largest one of
• 1:10:58
  the largest attacks and strikes of the war
• 1:11:02
  against Kiev Kiev independent reported waves of missiles
• 1:11:06
  and strike zone drones on July 2nd search
• 1:11:10
  and rescue operations Concluding on July 4th heavy
• 1:11:14
  damage heavy civilian casualties and defense news using
• 1:11:18
  Reuters material said hundreds of drones and dozens
• 1:11:22
  of missiles hit Kiev killing at least 21
• 1:11:25
  wounding scores of people and taking out around
• 1:11:28
  a hundred and thirty buildings July 2nd July
• 1:11:33
  6 on July 6 immediately before the summit
• 1:11:37
  several outlets reported another large Russian strike this
• 1:11:40
  one the videos were Wow, the Times of
• 1:11:43
  India described the attack as 68 missiles 351
• 1:11:47
  drones 18 people killed 60 injured and said
• 1:11:50
  the strike exposed Ukraine's Patriot interceptor shortage, they
• 1:11:55
  don't have any left The Guardian reported 21
• 1:11:58
  killed across Ukraine Kiev has the heaviest losses
• 1:12:03
  Ukraine intercepted some drones, but not the ballistics
• 1:12:06
  or hypersonics And so New York Post says
• 1:12:11
  Zelensky's been criticizing the West because the lack
• 1:12:17
  of Patriot interceptors after July 6 And he
• 1:12:20
  says the world's inability to supply interceptors to
• 1:12:24
  him his word Absurd, how can you not
• 1:12:27
  give it to us?
• 1:12:28
  This attack is coming five days after another
• 1:12:32
  major Kiev attack and the important military point
• 1:12:35
  is this the Kiev strikes are being treated
• 1:12:37
  by Ukraine and NATO as an air defense
• 1:12:39
  crisis, which they are and But I think
• 1:12:43
  it's something bigger that Ukraine's air defense structure
• 1:12:46
  can't stop much modern Russian strike packages anyway
• 1:12:51
  especially ballistic and hypersonics Because they're so busy
• 1:12:55
  taking out the drones.
• 1:12:56
  This is change in warfare.
• 1:12:57
  So you send over 200 300 drones You
• 1:13:02
  shoot up we've gone through this before a
• 1:13:04
  multi-million dollar Patriot system shooting off multi
• 1:13:08
  -million dollar Patriot missiles to protect and they're
• 1:13:14
  hitting a drone because five grand and You
• 1:13:17
  so you flood them with all these and
• 1:13:19
  everybody's doing it Ukrainians are doing the same
• 1:13:21
  thing and they're using their Flamingo missiles that
• 1:13:26
  they whatever they they've created They're trying to
• 1:13:28
  use those but Russia's blowing up their infrastructure.
• 1:13:31
  So the military point is this the Kiev
• 1:13:34
  strikes are an air defense problem a big
• 1:13:39
  one and so You know if you're firing
• 1:13:44
  all of these drones and missiles that I've
• 1:13:48
  put out This isn't random They are gonna
• 1:13:51
  take out the the platform against selected targets
• 1:13:55
  and and Russia knows Exactly where it's hitting.
• 1:13:58
  This isn't a few drones and a symbolic
• 1:14:00
  strike This is a layered package drones saturate
• 1:14:04
  and confuse the missiles Cruise missiles give volume
• 1:14:07
  and range and Iskandar's our speed and maneuvering
• 1:14:11
  and zircons target Ukraine our targets Ukraine cannot
• 1:14:16
  realistically Intercept the zircon can't be intercepted anyway
• 1:14:22
  and Martian of spends, you know a lot
• 1:14:25
  of time there's a what do you call
• 1:14:28
  it a Military Analyst named Martian of and
• 1:14:32
  I like listen the guy and he says
• 1:14:34
  the Iskandar Iskandar's which is a primary package
• 1:14:39
  It's very maneuverable Can go mach 6 mach
• 1:14:44
  7 they can't they can't intercept then anyway
• 1:14:47
  And the Patriot and impact three problem is
• 1:14:50
  that the Western systems aren't merely short of
• 1:14:54
  ammunition but Technologically, they can't stop the hypersonics.
• 1:14:59
  Anyway, he said these systems Can intercept subsonic
• 1:15:04
  but not reliably intercept any modern maneuvering?
• 1:15:10
  Ballistic or hypersonic missiles are no longer just
• 1:15:13
  so used to be when you were firing
• 1:15:14
  a missile You know think back to war
• 1:15:16
  games in Matthew Broderick or whatever all of
• 1:15:21
  those were missiles that were fired and not
• 1:15:23
  maneuvered They didn't change you shoot them.
• 1:15:25
  They go up in the air and they
• 1:15:27
  come down where you target them.
• 1:15:29
  Not so not anymore Not ever now they
• 1:15:34
  they can go everywhere They can go they
• 1:15:37
  can you can guide them and they can
• 1:15:41
  loiter They're the nuclear-powered ones that the
• 1:15:43
  Russian ones can loiter for Months, they can
• 1:15:46
  loiter and then get they can loiter off
• 1:15:49
  of the shores of America if they want
• 1:15:50
  to And that crazy So Ukraine is asking
• 1:15:54
  NATO for more interceptors but the problem is
• 1:15:58
  the interceptors can't stop them the capability you
• 1:16:01
  can't solve a Mach 9 problem with a
• 1:16:05
  Patriot.
• 1:16:05
  It's not gonna happen.
• 1:16:08
  It's not gonna happen and it's gonna keep
• 1:16:11
  on getting worse.
• 1:16:12
  I You know I'm trying to figure out
• 1:16:19
  so far Nobody's been able to provide it
• 1:16:21
  and I've been looking while While trying to
• 1:16:23
  get there to see what in the world
• 1:16:25
  that thing is that they blew up in
• 1:16:26
  Kiev because the explosions Were massive in the
• 1:16:30
  secondary explosions of blow up So they targeted
• 1:16:33
  the whatever factory it was whatever it was
• 1:16:35
  making had to be armed supplies or something
• 1:16:38
  like that and this was Unbelievable video that
• 1:16:43
  missile shock and awe holy crap for sure
• 1:16:46
  and it hit a large facility on the
• 1:16:50
  outskirts of Kiev Blew it up.
• 1:16:52
  The guy's taking a video from his apartment
• 1:16:55
  complex, you know, 20 30 floors up and
• 1:16:58
  he's Video in this explosion and the thing
• 1:17:02
  is on a massive fire and all the
• 1:17:05
  sudden Another explosion erupts from inside the explosion
• 1:17:10
  that was already there not from a new
• 1:17:12
  missile But something there a secondary explosion something
• 1:17:15
  in there blew up and it flew out
• 1:17:17
  a Good mile.
• 1:17:19
  I mean is what it looked like in
• 1:17:21
  the video that whatever blew out of that
• 1:17:24
  blew out came out hit a building a
• 1:17:28
  Long way away.
• 1:17:30
  And so it was a Wow something in
• 1:17:34
  there And Blew up, whatever it was.
• 1:17:38
  It was a missile factory of some sort
• 1:17:40
  and something came out of it when it
• 1:17:43
  did and This is massive damage and this
• 1:17:47
  they were talking about it Some people were
• 1:17:49
  talking about it as if it's a uranium
• 1:17:51
  depot of some sort.
• 1:17:53
  So this is the controversial part because if
• 1:17:57
  Russia hit this depot and the depot contained
• 1:18:01
  depleted uranium munitions There's a guy named eager
• 1:18:07
  most most see Chouk Moshe Moshe Chouk, I
• 1:18:12
  don't know if I've said that right stated
• 1:18:14
  in a YouTube interview That the Russian missiles
• 1:18:18
  in Kiev hit a warehouse Vishneva on the
• 1:18:23
  outskirts.
• 1:18:24
  He said the munitions depot was hit and
• 1:18:27
  Said that whoever placed it near Kiev Ought
• 1:18:32
  to be arrested Because why would you place
• 1:18:35
  a factory of that nature with depleted uranium
• 1:18:39
  and large?
• 1:18:41
  Munitions, I mean big because that sucker blew
• 1:18:44
  the hell up and he said the facility
• 1:18:47
  contained in this Ukrainian guy Moishe Chouk said
• 1:18:50
  the facility had Cluster munitions.
• 1:18:54
  These clusters are bad in the first place
• 1:18:57
  and we're not supposed to be using them
• 1:18:59
  in modern warfare Okay, but the u.s.
• 1:19:02
  Provided them all to Ukraine and Ukraine is
• 1:19:04
  using them, but they have these cluster munitions
• 1:19:06
  You know that could have been what blew
• 1:19:08
  up something blew up shells with depleted uranium
• 1:19:11
  warheads ammunition that continues detonating after the strike
• 1:19:15
  which it did and The depleted uranium that
• 1:19:20
  was not creating a dangerous radiation level, but
• 1:19:23
  is intensifying the explosions So the nearby residents
• 1:19:27
  and this is Ukraine saying this Ukraine says
• 1:19:30
  the nearby residents have to either stay indoors
• 1:19:33
  and keep their windows locked and closed and
• 1:19:36
  The Ukrainian outlet called RBC reported that the
• 1:19:40
  air quality index in Vishnev entered the red
• 1:19:43
  hazardous category Before returning a couple hours later
• 1:19:48
  to safe levels That's not good, you know
• 1:19:53
  the same source says that this depleted Uranium
• 1:19:56
  is not a nuclear weapon can't produce nuclear
• 1:19:59
  explosion, but it's also Controversial for the same
• 1:20:02
  reasons.
• 1:20:03
  It's controversial anywhere else in the world.
• 1:20:06
  It's a dense radioactive mildly and Chemically toxic
• 1:20:11
  and will create health concerns if dispersed after
• 1:20:14
  an impact or explosion So it's not a
• 1:20:17
  nuclear explosion story it's a depleted uranium storage
• 1:20:21
  and contamination story if Depleted uranium munitions are
• 1:20:26
  stored near Kiev and they get hit in
• 1:20:29
  a strike.
• 1:20:30
  Oh The political issue what is that?
• 1:20:34
  Why would you place them there who placed
• 1:20:36
  them there who supplied them who knew they
• 1:20:39
  were there and did the?
• 1:20:40
  Civilians get told that they were put there
• 1:20:42
  that this is what was going on.
• 1:20:44
  This is also connected to NATO Because the
• 1:20:48
  u.s. Supplies depleted uranium rounds to Ukraine
• 1:20:51
  did in 2023 and Dmitry Peskov warned about
• 1:20:56
  these long-term consequences from their use anyway
• 1:20:59
  So if NATO and the u.s. Are
• 1:21:01
  supplying these and they're storing them outside of
• 1:21:03
  Kiev number one Why they ought to have
• 1:21:06
  their head examined for that if you're gonna
• 1:21:08
  store those things why put them next to
• 1:21:10
  the major city in?
• 1:21:11
  Ukraine that's nonsense The Ukrainians ought to be
• 1:21:14
  up in arms about this and apparently they
• 1:21:16
  are And what's the Ukrainian drone spot response
• 1:21:20
  into Russia the uranium?
• 1:21:22
  Depot source said that Russia faced one of
• 1:21:26
  the largest Ukrainian drone attacks of the war
• 1:21:28
  last night 519 fixed-wing drones intercepted overnight
• 1:21:32
  in Belgrade Bryansk Kursk Petrograd well, that's that's
• 1:21:39
  st.
• 1:21:39
  Petersburg Kaluga Moscow Crimea and in the Sea
• 1:21:42
  of Azov You know their governor's talking about
• 1:21:47
  this a woman killed two injured.
• 1:21:49
  You know Martian of Discussion of the 625
• 1:21:54
  drones on July 6 Into I haven't seen
• 1:21:59
  any other numbers.
• 1:22:00
  That's I only saw the number come from
• 1:22:03
  him That's not what the Ministry of Defense
• 1:22:05
  of Russia reported But when Ukraine launches hundreds
• 1:22:09
  drones into Russia Western media talks about oh
• 1:22:13
  their initiative This is innovative.
• 1:22:15
  This is long-range capability pressure on Putin
• 1:22:18
  But when Putin answers and sends in hundreds
• 1:22:21
  drones and missiles into Ukraine, they call it
• 1:22:24
  desperation So he's desperate right he's desperate so
• 1:22:30
  he's launching drones.
• 1:22:31
  No, he's not desperate He's winning on the
• 1:22:33
  front line.
• 1:22:34
  And so that once again throttling of the
• 1:22:37
  news or Twisting it of the news is
• 1:22:41
  continued there's some more notes that I wanted
• 1:22:44
  to follow for sure because we've been talking
• 1:22:46
  about it for about a week is the
• 1:22:48
  Fuel and logistics, you know the gas station
• 1:22:51
  wars that are going on Tell you what
• 1:22:54
  the This is an I Don't want to
• 1:22:59
  call it interesting and say that I like
• 1:23:00
  this kind of thing because I don't it's
• 1:23:02
  still war it's horrible, but You know the
• 1:23:07
  mass strikes in Kiev are getting attention Russia
• 1:23:10
  has been systematically attacking gas stations Anywhere east
• 1:23:16
  of the Dnipro River Between Kharkov and Dnipropetrovsk.
• 1:23:22
  There are no gas stations remaining none They're
• 1:23:28
  gone and that's a hell of a drive
• 1:23:31
  from Kharkov to Dnipro Petrovsk and you can't
• 1:23:34
  get there if you get So if you
• 1:23:35
  get let's say you start in Dnipropetrovsk and
• 1:23:38
  you fill up your tank, you know And
• 1:23:41
  you head there you might get there maybe
• 1:23:43
  on one tank of gas not if you're
• 1:23:45
  a big truck But but you might get
• 1:23:48
  there, but you aren't getting back If Trains,
• 1:23:52
  they're not running and it's a serious supply
• 1:23:54
  problem for Kiev's frontline forces And it's not
• 1:23:58
  this is operationally extremely serious tanks trucks artillery
• 1:24:04
  support evacuation vehicles repair crews drone teams So
• 1:24:10
  I watched a Russian video said why they
• 1:24:13
  were doing gas stations inside of Ukraine Why
• 1:24:18
  gas stations were so critical to take out
• 1:24:22
  and They say that what Ukrainians have been
• 1:24:26
  doing is aside from being in the basement.
• 1:24:29
  They're trying to be much more I don't
• 1:24:37
  know protect themselves more mobile be much more
• 1:24:40
  mobile so they're taking pickup trucks and launching
• 1:24:44
  the drones out of the back of the
• 1:24:46
  pickup truck and So you launch them out
• 1:24:49
  of the back of the trick pickup truck.
• 1:24:50
  You can drive closer to the front line
• 1:24:52
  launch your drone and leave well, Russia when
• 1:24:57
  they find these pickup trucks they Will blow
• 1:25:02
  that you know if somebody's launching a drone
• 1:25:04
  and you see it you can Take care
• 1:25:06
  of it, but you got to be able
• 1:25:07
  to see it and watch it when it's
• 1:25:09
  happened But if you cut off their gas
• 1:25:12
  and nobody's moving those trucks aren't going anywhere
• 1:25:15
  either Those drone trucks, so there's a couple
• 1:25:21
  of stories that people have talked about and
• 1:25:25
  said well the reason they're doing it is
• 1:25:26
  because the Ukrainians in the last couple of
• 1:25:29
  months have switched from being in basements around
• 1:25:33
  to being in trucks and Taking taking out
• 1:25:37
  in these trucks and shooting their there You
• 1:25:40
  you're safer in a truck than you are
• 1:25:42
  in a basement if you're shooting drones, and
• 1:25:44
  so that's what they're doing so if if
• 1:25:48
  if Russia is destroying the fuel and You
• 1:25:52
  know for civilians and military across the entire
• 1:25:56
  front support zone then mobility is going to
• 1:25:59
  be Seriously curtailed right and so the war
• 1:26:04
  isn't about only missiles into Kiev Russia's removing
• 1:26:08
  Ukraine's ability to move To repair to refuel
• 1:26:13
  to resupply to drone from a vehicle or
• 1:26:16
  defend itself Konstantinovka is is the final point
• 1:26:24
  on this Because if the Russians are correct,
• 1:26:29
  and I say they are Everything that I
• 1:26:32
  say is this is just the same as
• 1:26:34
  Bakhmut This the same as Pokrovsk and denying
• 1:26:38
  that you've lost a major city is Par
• 1:26:43
  for the course for Ukraine, but it isn't
• 1:26:45
  gonna change the fact that they've lost the
• 1:26:49
  city, okay It's just additional geography and the
• 1:26:54
  Russians losing 13,500 troops to try to
• 1:26:58
  hold it You know is Another point they
• 1:27:06
  lost at least 10,000 trying to save
• 1:27:09
  Pokrovsk remember when we talked about that in
• 1:27:11
  the Pokrovsk-Mirna grad effort And they did
• 1:27:14
  the same thing right over there did the
• 1:27:16
  same thing in Bakhmut a long time ago
• 1:27:18
  Every time we go, but the next operational
• 1:27:21
  realities are the following Slavyansk Kramatorsk this big
• 1:27:27
  industrial complex cities Sumy the buffer zones up
• 1:27:31
  north and the Russian activity there the Kharkov
• 1:27:35
  region 30 to 35 kilometer buffer zone in
• 1:27:40
  Kharkov and Sumy Dnepropetrovsk was where they're cutting
• 1:27:44
  off all the gas in Zaporizhzhia, and then
• 1:27:46
  eventually If this keeps on going Kherson Nikolayev
• 1:27:52
  in Odessa, which I said was a potential
• 1:27:54
  going Back in 2022, but I thought they'd
• 1:27:59
  stop at the Dnepr River and only do
• 1:28:02
  what they said they would and But then
• 1:28:05
  again Russia is winning this war of attrition
• 1:28:08
  for sure it has more soldiers more firepower
• 1:28:11
  more artillery Thousands of more glide bombs those
• 1:28:16
  fabs that I was telling you about a
• 1:28:18
  stronger industrial base and its own advantage in
• 1:28:21
  drones Ukraine is badly out manned out gunned
• 1:28:26
  and Kiev can strike deep into Russia with
• 1:28:29
  drones, but Ukraine doesn't have anything like Moscow's
• 1:28:32
  deep strike power and Drone strikes inside of
• 1:28:35
  Russia have little effect on the battlefield where
• 1:28:37
  the war is being settled Ukraine can irritate
• 1:28:42
  Russia But Russia can dismantle Ukraine and those
• 1:28:47
  are not the same thing and why does
• 1:28:49
  this matter in Ankara?
• 1:28:51
  Because the war will not be settled Diplomatically
• 1:28:56
  because the sides have irreconcilable positions, so it's
• 1:29:00
  going to be Done militarily and this is
• 1:29:04
  going to be a big loss for NATO.
• 1:29:06
  Maybe that's why we should leave NATO And
• 1:29:09
  I'll leave you with that Thought I appreciate
• 1:29:13
  you listening to international flavor today Join me
