• 0:42
  Uh wasn't here yesterday. Apologies. Um
• 0:45
  had medical issues I wanted to uh uh uh
• 0:49
  take care of, resolve. Um, seems like a
• 0:52
  bit of an echo in here. Not sure why.
• 0:54
  Um, but maybe it's because I was gone a
• 0:57
  day. I I did cry on the way to the uh uh
• 1:00
  doctor's visit. Um, wonder if it was
• 1:02
  over the radio show, if it was just
• 1:04
  life's uh life's troubles catching up
• 1:06
  with me and the fact that I missed a
• 1:08
  show. Let's all take a moment of silence
• 1:12
  about the missed show. No, let's not.
• 1:14
  Let's skip. Okay. this over the weekend.
• 1:16
  So there the the war has changed in in
• 1:19
  Russia, Ukraine. Okay, here I go about
• 1:22
  the war again, but it's changed it and
• 1:24
  it is uh somewhat dramatic change. Okay,
• 1:27
  so you can start with the fact that the
• 1:30
  Azov Sea is no longer basically usable.
• 1:33
  The Ukrainians destroyed uh or severely
• 1:36
  damaged probably
• 1:38
  100 plus uh ships and these are grain
• 1:42
  ships. These are also they're oil
• 1:44
  tankers. They're cargo container
• 1:47
  tankers. They were destroying shipping.
• 1:50
  They bombed the ports. They, you know,
• 1:52
  all those cranes that load all the stuff
• 1:54
  that are not easy to replace, they were
• 1:56
  doing that in the major shipping areas
• 1:58
  as well. So, Russia responded, did the
• 2:01
  exact same thing. We've talked a little
• 2:03
  bit about that. But Russia's gone
• 2:05
  further and Russia is destroying
• 2:07
  logistics all over Russia. Now Ukraine
• 2:10
  is draw destroying plants and frankly I
• 2:13
  don't think Russia's done a good enough
• 2:15
  job. You wonder if so so I I watched a
• 2:19
  report that says our Patriot systems are
• 2:22
  basically [ __ ] that uh the Patriot is
• 2:26
  not the answer and never has been. And
• 2:29
  there was a guy that uh said who was
• 2:32
  deeply involved in it. He's a uh a
• 2:34
  missile scientist from uh MIT and I
• 2:39
  watched his his uh entire I was so
• 2:42
  interested I watched the whole thing and
• 2:43
  he testified in Congress. He said that
• 2:46
  generals testified in Congress that
• 2:48
  during the Iraq war trying to take out
• 2:51
  Scuds the rate of uh accuracy in taking
• 2:56
  them out was less than 10%. He said in
• 3:02
  many cases it was four. And then uh the
• 3:05
  the crazy part was that when the
• 3:07
  congress was talking to the general that
• 3:09
  the general actually said intercept.
• 3:12
  Intercept means their paths crossed in
• 3:16
  the air. Meaning the missile was coming
• 3:19
  in and the patriot went past it but
• 3:21
  might not have hit it. So the
• 3:23
  intersection is the fact that there are
• 3:26
  two ray lines out in the in the world.
• 3:28
  They're really not a ray because a ray
• 3:30
  is straight. Sorry about that. Two arc
• 3:32
  lines out and these arc lines are uh
• 3:36
  that at some point cross each other or
• 3:38
  cross near each other. They intersect
• 3:41
  [snorts] and uh so he said that uh uh
• 3:44
  also he showed the video. we showed and
• 3:46
  the interesting part to me was the video
• 3:48
  that uh the Patriot even if it does hit
• 3:51
  a missile it and it can and it does they
• 3:55
  call it successful when they hit it but
• 3:57
  if it doesn't hit the warhead
• 3:59
  part of the missile the warhead still
• 4:03
  goes off and in most of the ones that
• 4:05
  hit he said the ones that hit go to uh
• 4:10
  they hit the back of the missile they
• 4:11
  don't catch the front of the missile it
• 4:13
  has to be the front of the missile or
• 4:15
  you're screwed. screwed. It doesn't
• 4:17
  matter if you hit it if you hit it from
• 4:20
  behind. So, the Patriot is not the
• 4:22
  answer according to this guy. And he
• 4:24
  said they have uh whatever I think
• 4:26
  they're called pack one and pack two
• 4:28
  that people have been debating, but it
• 4:29
  might be some some other short
• 4:31
  nomenclature one and two because I don't
• 4:33
  remember off top of my head. But he said
• 4:36
  that those were uh the second one, the
• 4:40
  missile uh that the Russians are making
• 4:44
  um that the that were actually and and
• 4:46
  and he showed a video of a plane that uh
• 4:49
  the plane is uh an Iranian plane and the
• 4:53
  Iranians have the advanced uh uh
• 4:56
  missiles uh missile defense that the
• 4:59
  Russians have given them. And this
• 5:02
  Iranian plane was escorting the a
• 5:04
  presidential plane somewhere and they
• 5:06
  said it was a show of they had a show of
• 5:07
  force and there were these Russian
• 5:09
  things and and using which I forget what
• 5:11
  it which MIG version it was doesn't
• 5:13
  matter but it was one of the more modern
• 5:15
  MIG versions too and uh so it was uh
• 5:20
  a pretty interesting video all in all
• 5:24
  about how it's going on the front and so
• 5:27
  the fact is that we personally as
• 5:30
  Americans we also need to be worried
• 5:32
  about our own missile defense. There's
• 5:34
  no doubt that the Israeli missile
• 5:35
  defense, oh jeez, they got the Iron
• 5:38
  Dome. Yeah, it's a great name. You get
• 5:39
  to hear all along, but that thing failed
• 5:42
  miserably. And uh uh and the the data
• 5:46
  from that is not good. And uh you know,
• 5:49
  but nobody's talking about it because
• 5:52
  they don't want you talking about it.
• 5:54
  And so they they do not talk about it at
• 5:57
  all. [laughter] They don't want you to
• 5:59
  know. uh that the Patriot really isn't
• 6:02
  what they claim it is and but it is the
• 6:05
  best that they have. Now the the
• 6:07
  Russians have the SS400 and the and the
• 6:09
  other stuff that for their missile
• 6:12
  capabilities and uh you know those are
• 6:14
  those are pretty accurate and but the
• 6:16
  war is changing to a drone war. That
• 6:19
  part is no doubt. Okay. And uh uh it's
• 6:26
  the war has changed is is the the global
• 6:29
  point of that. And uh but over the
• 6:32
  weekend on the 18th the attack of the
• 6:38
  Ukrainians
• 6:41
  uh they attacked a basically
• 6:45
  an Amazon plant. Okay. Um in Russia,
• 6:49
  I've told you about this before. I know
• 6:50
  I have. There's a a a shipping receiving
• 6:56
  uh company where they do the same things
• 6:58
  that we do. You know, they they buy
• 7:01
  things online. And the biggest supplier
• 7:04
  of uh all things in Russia is a company
• 7:07
  called Wild Berries. And you see wild
• 7:11
  berries everywhere. And they have Wild
• 7:14
  Berries on their phone. I downloaded the
• 7:16
  app when I was in Russia just to check
• 7:18
  it out because you can do it anywhere.
• 7:20
  and you can download it and it arrives.
• 7:22
  The difference is Russians actually get
• 7:24
  out of their houses. [laughter]
• 7:26
  We don't we don't go anywhere. They walk
• 7:29
  a lot of places. There's always people
• 7:32
  walking somewhere. And here in America,
• 7:33
  that's a rarity. You know, it's it's we
• 7:36
  get out, we get in our car, we drive to
• 7:38
  the store. They don't they get out, they
• 7:40
  walk to the store, and they walk and
• 7:42
  they pick up fresh veggies and they do
• 7:44
  it basically every day, right? So, you
• 7:46
  go down. If you're going to make a
• 7:47
  salad, you don't buy it two days in
• 7:49
  advance. you buy it on the day and
• 7:50
  there's all people there's a lot of uh
• 7:54
  outside of markets and stuff there's a
• 7:56
  lot of the farmers and the people will
• 7:58
  bring in their own goods and you can buy
• 8:00
  them on the street. I mean it's I I I
• 8:02
  personally like it. It's kind of like
• 8:04
  our farmers market. There's one uh down
• 8:06
  here that's not not not too far away uh
• 8:09
  that uh I like to wander into, you know,
• 8:12
  and and and see if there's any fresh
• 8:14
  veggies. I like doing that. Well,
• 8:16
  Russians do that all the time. and uh on
• 8:19
  their way to the market or on their way
• 8:21
  to uh buy I don't know whatever. They
• 8:24
  don't buy things in large quantities
• 8:25
  like we do. It's just not regular. They
• 8:28
  don't they don't do it. It's very you
• 8:30
  don't see people do that. They'll walk
• 8:31
  out with a mini sack, but they do it
• 8:33
  every day. So, it's a different thought
• 8:35
  process. And they get out and they see
• 8:37
  people and they chat and they do stuff
• 8:39
  like that. And um it's a it's always now
• 8:42
  I I got to admit most of that has been
• 8:44
  in the uh uh in larger cities is where
• 8:47
  I've been and that that in larger cities
• 8:49
  here in America I'm sure is more
• 8:51
  prevalent as well that they uh that they
• 8:53
  do it. But I but I like that way of
• 8:54
  life. I've often thought about, you
• 8:56
  know, living in a small in a in a
• 8:58
  medium-sized small city or a large one.
• 9:01
  Moscow I particularly like and and
• 9:03
  everything's available in Moscow and
• 9:05
  they have a great subway system and uh
• 9:08
  very clean, very safe and it's uh uh
• 9:12
  they they should take great pride in
• 9:15
  Moscow and I'm going to go to St.
• 9:17
  Petersburg this year and I hear similar
• 9:19
  similar items. But even uh uh even the
• 9:22
  smaller cities are are are are generally
• 9:24
  clean safe. Anyway, Wild Berries is
• 9:27
  everywhere. So they'll have a little
• 9:29
  store somewhere and the store will be,
• 9:31
  you know, here's a wild berries drop off
• 9:33
  point and they they bring like instead
• 9:35
  of Amazon going out to everybody's
• 9:37
  houses, they go to the local place and
• 9:40
  they drop it off in a local point and at
• 9:42
  the local point people come and they
• 9:44
  pick it up instead of coming to their
• 9:46
  apartment wandering upstairs, you know,
• 9:48
  that's a that's a they're very
• 9:50
  protective over there and their ways
• 9:52
  into the apartments are are severely
• 9:54
  blocked off and I assume that's
• 9:56
  everywhere in these and then uh you
• 9:58
  know, you don't just get to wander
• 9:59
  around in other people's apartments.
• 10:01
  Anyway, wild berries, the Ukrainians
• 10:04
  attacked and so the event is a
• 10:06
  coordinated Ukrainian drone attack on
• 10:09
  two major Wildberries logistic centers
• 10:12
  on Saturday, July the 18th, and that's
• 10:15
  in Kovsk and Tambbuff, about 360
• 10:19
  kilometers from the Ukrainian border.
• 10:21
  And then uh Electrostall is the second
• 10:24
  one and that's about 50 miles east of
• 10:27
  Moscow. So these two warehouses are
• 10:30
  ordinary largecale retail distribution
• 10:34
  centers belonging to Russia's largest
• 10:36
  online marketplace. Um on the um
• 10:39
  evidence, you know, so far available,
• 10:41
  Ukraine says they had a a military
• 10:44
  logistics function. I call BS on that.
• 10:48
  They they do not have a military
• 10:50
  logistics function and uh uh that is
• 10:54
  personal. I mean they're shipping
• 10:56
  clothes. You go by if somebody if you
• 10:58
  buy a stroller, you don't go down the
• 11:00
  street and and and go to the local
• 11:02
  Walmart and buy a stroller. You buy it
• 11:04
  online. It's delivered to Wildberries
• 11:06
  and you go pick it up. You know, they
• 11:08
  don't uh pots and pans, you know, same
• 11:11
  thing. The larger items you buy, you're
• 11:13
  not going to the store to buy that
• 11:15
  stuff. You buy it online just like we do
• 11:18
  here. And so it's a yeah like like
• 11:22
  assume that they are the equivalent as
• 11:24
  Amazon. Amazon because they are and then
• 11:27
  assume how much Amazon is using as a
• 11:30
  distribution point for the military. You
• 11:32
  know how would that be if there was a
• 11:34
  war going on here in the United States?
• 11:37
  Would it be uh you know would Amazon
• 11:40
  switch to military function and ship
• 11:42
  stuff around?
• 11:44
  I don't think so. Not to the level that
• 11:47
  they're trying to claim. Is there
• 11:48
  something that maybe some part somewhere
• 11:50
  so you blow up a a plant kill how many
• 11:53
  how many people? They killed like eight
• 11:56
  in the plant cuz the plant's 24/7.
• 11:59
  And uh uh so it needs to be uh they say
• 12:04
  they had these uh military logistics
• 12:07
  functions but nobody anywhere has
• 12:11
  provided any independent documentation
• 12:14
  that it's even remotely accurate. Okay,
• 12:18
  that they were predominantly for
• 12:20
  military purposes or military
• 12:22
  installations. And so that uh you know
• 12:27
  is is crap. But the Ukrainians are, you
• 12:29
  know, forever lying anyway. Um, so about
• 12:32
  what they hit, you know, and and they
• 12:34
  want the difference is they don't want
• 12:37
  the Russian military to suffer. They
• 12:41
  want the Russian people to suffer. They
• 12:44
  are still on the the only way we win
• 12:47
  this war is kill Putin politically or
• 12:52
  physically. you know, is is that that is
• 12:54
  that is the only way they win the war is
• 12:56
  kill him politically. And that's what
• 12:58
  they're trying to do because there are
• 13:00
  big elections this fall in Russia as
• 13:02
  well. And they want all the uh uh the
• 13:06
  pilot bureau and all well, it's not the
• 13:07
  pilot bureau anymore, but but all of the
• 13:09
  u uh house, you know, all of the
• 13:12
  legislative side, they want them to be
• 13:15
  uh uh
• 13:18
  not supportive of Putin and the war.
• 13:21
  they are right now and they want to try
• 13:22
  to change that. And so they changed that
• 13:25
  by making the people suffer. So they're
• 13:27
  blowing up anything. They're far more
• 13:31
  civilian targets than military. And and
• 13:33
  President Zalinski gets up. The old
• 13:36
  Green Goblin stands up and defends the
• 13:38
  attack on these warehouses and says,
• 13:41
  "Uh, they supported Russia's military
• 13:44
  supply chain by distributing sanctioned
• 13:47
  electronic components used in drones and
• 13:50
  navigation systems." And and they
• 13:52
  portrayed it as retaliation. It's not
• 13:55
  retaliation. They always fire first uh
• 13:58
  for Ukrainian attacks on Ukraine's
• 14:00
  postal, commercial, and civilian
• 14:02
  infrastructure. So, does the presence of
• 14:04
  these available electronics somewhere
• 14:07
  inside a nationwide marketing warehouse
• 14:11
  make the entire warehouse and hundreds
• 14:14
  of civilian employees a lawful military
• 14:17
  target? A a Wilder's warehouse, think of
• 14:19
  an Amazon warehouse. You can find them
• 14:21
  here everywhere. Uh an a Wild Berries
• 14:24
  warehouse has merchandise that belongs
• 14:26
  to thousands of independent sellers.
• 14:29
  Everybody sells through there. You you
• 14:31
  make clothes somewhere, you sell them
• 14:33
  through Amazon or through Wild Berries.
• 14:36
  You make toys, cosmetics, appliances,
• 14:38
  tools, electronics, strollers, consumer
• 14:41
  equipment. Even assuming some they buy
• 14:44
  dryers and freaking washers that way
• 14:46
  that get that they go and pick up. And
• 14:48
  uh uh it's it's it's a hell of a system.
• 14:52
  And it's if there's any military, the
• 14:55
  percentage is tiny compared to
• 14:57
  everything else that's going on. So
• 14:59
  blowing up two logistics plants for
• 15:01
  civilians sure as hell ain't military
• 15:03
  objective. It's to make the civilians
• 15:05
  suffer. And so and I want to say this
• 15:08
  because this is the thinking process of
• 15:11
  the Ukrainians. And they are brutal. I
• 15:14
  have something to share with you if the
• 15:15
  uh if the uh the transcript is finished
• 15:20
  for me. Let me have a look here and see
• 15:23
  because it may be close. Yeah, I have
• 15:26
  the Russian version if I can find it. So
• 15:30
  during my break, I'll take it and I'll
• 15:32
  tell you about how Ukrainians think
• 15:34
  because this in the Russian part, I
• 15:36
  mean, this is freaking brutal. And this
• 15:38
  guy was on TV, but this is how they
• 15:40
  think. Okay, I've I've met a bunch of
• 15:43
  these type of people and and then they
• 15:50
  [laughter]
• 15:51
  My god, I I I I swallowed wrong. Anyway,
• 15:54
  the the they are scary people and I want
• 15:57
  to give you a bit of an example, okay?
• 15:59
  Because uh
• 16:01
  let's start with this. I don't I don't
• 16:02
  watch scary movies. I don't like them. I
• 16:05
  don't like to see the side of blood. I
• 16:06
  don't like to to watch things. But 90%
• 16:09
  of the time I can watch it because these
• 16:13
  scare like monster movies, alien movies,
• 16:17
  uh it by Stephen King, you know,
• 16:19
  whatever. Any of those things. the scary
• 16:22
  part. I don't I don't like being scared,
• 16:25
  you know? I don't like that kind of
• 16:26
  thing. I don't like the uh anticipation
• 16:28
  and the tenseness. I just don't get it.
• 16:31
  But then again, that when it finally
• 16:34
  happens, it'll be a scary I jumped
• 16:36
  thing. But mentally for me, that isn't
• 16:40
  really scary because that crap is not
• 16:44
  real. Now, now suppose aliens show up at
• 16:47
  your house one day, then we got a
• 16:50
  problem, you know. But I'm scared of
• 16:52
  real things. What are my fears? I hate
• 16:54
  snakes. I don't want to be near a snake.
• 16:56
  I don't want to be eaten by a shark. You
• 16:59
  know, I don't alligators. That day I
• 17:01
  went to the to the wonderful open uh
• 17:05
  park in Florida. I forget what it's
• 17:07
  called, but I went by myself. And so I
• 17:09
  had been there on the weekends and I
• 17:10
  happened to be driving by and it only
• 17:12
  cost five bucks and I went in, but it
• 17:14
  was the middle of the day or might be
• 17:16
  seven bucks, I don't know, whatever
• 17:18
  veteran discount I got. And then uh uh
• 17:20
  but you go uh in and uh and nobody was
• 17:23
  there. And I went to the same place I
• 17:26
  went where there were, you know, maybe
• 17:28
  50 people the last time because that had
• 17:30
  the most alligators. Okay. And I walk
• 17:32
  down the thing under this little bridge
• 17:34
  overhang, you know, and uh there's
• 17:36
  nobody there but me. There's my truck
• 17:38
  parked up on top and I walk down and I'm
• 17:41
  looking off to the side and uh under
• 17:44
  this bridge all you see are about nine
• 17:47
  heads. uh just the eyeball part poked up
• 17:50
  over the thing and there's a couple of
• 17:52
  huge ones on the bank and I am down
• 17:55
  there with them and I'm like you know
• 17:59
  what [laughter] this is not the place to
• 18:02
  be now that's scary okay and I know it's
• 18:06
  long stupid Sam story but that that is
• 18:09
  frightening to me you know that'd be
• 18:10
  like swimming 10 feet from a you know a
• 18:13
  shark you know and going hey uh you know
• 18:15
  please my leg's not dinner you know
• 18:17
  something like that. And uh uh so I I
• 18:20
  backed away slowly, [laughter] turned
• 18:23
  and ran my ass out of there as fast as I
• 18:26
  could get out of there. It's like, man,
• 18:28
  why did you come here alone, you [ __ ]
• 18:30
  And uh uh or or why don't you just stay
• 18:32
  up and watch him from the bridge from
• 18:34
  the safe point? Those I was like, "Holy
• 18:36
  crap, I'm going to get chewed up." And
• 18:39
  uh anyway, those things frighten me.
• 18:42
  Real things frighten me. And people who
• 18:45
  think like these Ukrainians think
• 18:48
  frighten me. They will kill and not
• 18:51
  think twice about it. And they are
• 18:56
  brutal in what they say and what they
• 18:59
  do. And if it happens to kill a couple
• 19:02
  hundred factory workers in a wild
• 19:04
  berries plant. Yeah. Well, you know,
• 19:06
  that was a uh a necessary thing to kill
• 19:10
  those people. and and they kind of
• 19:13
  glorify it. You know what I mean? They
• 19:15
  think they think these type of attacks
• 19:18
  are legitimate, justified, everything
• 19:21
  about it. And you know, what are you
• 19:23
  questioning us for? Don't question us.
• 19:25
  You know, pe people are pressuring them
• 19:27
  to quit attacking the uh civilian style
• 19:30
  infrastructure
• 19:32
  all over the place except America
• 19:34
  because we don't even know about it. And
• 19:36
  uh so that they're doing these things
• 19:39
  and it is uh truly truly frightening to
• 19:44
  me that people like this exist in the
• 19:46
  world. They will kill people and not
• 19:48
  think twice about it. The the kill list,
• 19:50
  the mirrorit list is real. You can get
• 19:54
  on there and check that out. And they
• 19:55
  and people get paid to kill other people
• 19:58
  and they do it publicly. The story of
• 20:00
  the uh uh I hope it's done. Let me see
• 20:03
  if it's finished because I had it
• 20:05
  translated to English. Uh, it's not
• 20:08
  done. We could start with the Russian
• 20:10
  part about what they did, but uh I
• 20:13
  didn't have time to translate it on my
• 20:15
  own. Uh, you know what I'm going to do?
• 20:17
  I'm going to play uh song number one for
• 20:20
  you and uh and and get my my on that
• 20:24
  particular topic, get my thoughts
• 20:26
  organized because I I can do it and I
• 20:28
  can do it pretty quickly. Um, but I need
• 20:30
  the words of this guy to share with you
• 20:33
  specifically what a pig this guy was.
• 20:36
  And uh uh and Ukrainian guy interviewed
• 20:39
  in Poland and uh he [laughter]
• 20:43
  he's harsh and and they all are. You
• 20:45
  know, I've met people like this. I met
• 20:47
  so many Ukrainians when I lived in
• 20:48
  Russia and Russia in uh uh Florida. uh
• 20:51
  well I you know still have a place down
• 20:53
  there but the the the Russian uh
• 20:56
  Ukrainian community people aren't
• 20:58
  allowed to speak Russian first of all or
• 21:00
  people get upset there's Ukrainian
• 21:01
  churches everywhere Ukrainians
• 21:03
  everybody's suddenly a Ukrainian right
• 21:04
  none of them are Russian because they
• 21:06
  you know but they don't speak Ukrainian
• 21:08
  [laughter]
• 21:09
  it's pretty funny and uh but anyway and
• 21:12
  if you go in and speak Russian to them
• 21:13
  they get upset anyway then they're
• 21:16
  they're freaking brutal and uh uh
• 21:18
  there's Damn it I forgot I was going
• 21:21
  with that with the with the uh
• 21:23
  Ukrainians down in that area that speak
• 21:25
  that way and they just speak matterof
• 21:27
  fact matterof fact about the killing.
• 21:30
  It's it's it's not even an issue. Well,
• 21:33
  why are you questioning? In other words,
• 21:36
  don't don't question us. It's we you
• 21:38
  know, sorry, we have to do it. Well,
• 21:42
  you think Ukrainians are alone in that?
• 21:44
  You're not. Uh uh I mean, you're not
• 21:46
  right. The uh uh Russians think that way
• 21:49
  too to some extent. you know, and and
• 21:51
  and as do many many harsh, you know,
• 21:53
  there are harsh people in America, too.
• 21:55
  Don't don't don't screw with me. And and
• 21:57
  but I don't believe we're accepting
• 21:59
  money to kill people like uh was going
• 22:02
  on in Russia. You know, the the girl who
• 22:04
  went to uh Monaco or Morocco or wherever
• 22:07
  she went, I think it was Monaco, and
• 22:08
  killed um killed that oligarch, blew him
• 22:11
  up, just put a bomb in another country.
• 22:14
  She 200,000 bucks. And then somebody ca
• 22:17
  she came back. Somebody paid $50,000 to
• 22:19
  have her killed. That's it. That's
• 22:22
  that's how you that's how Ukrainians
• 22:24
  think. Okay? They're they don't screw
• 22:27
  around with each other because they know
• 22:29
  that ultimately if you do, some [ __ ]
• 22:31
  is going to kill you. Some [ __ ] is
• 22:33
  going to pay somebody else to kill you.
• 22:35
  And then they don't think twice about
• 22:37
  it. They go, "Well, you know, you pissed
• 22:39
  him off."
• 22:41
  Did you know that in Russia the penalty
• 22:43
  for murder is less than the penalty for
• 22:46
  drugs for murder you go six seven years
• 22:48
  seven years in Ukraine too by the way
• 22:51
  and uh uh but if you're convicted of
• 22:53
  drug use you know that's of drug
• 22:55
  distribution stuff like that you can go
• 22:57
  in for 20 to 30 years but the typical
• 22:59
  for a murder is you know hey the guy was
• 23:02
  upset [laughter]
• 23:04
  he killed somebody it's like holy crap
• 23:07
  really he stole that man's life why
• 23:09
  don't they steal yours. They don't
• 23:11
  believe in death penalty, you know, and
• 23:14
  uh uh you know, it's a there's plenty to
• 23:16
  talk about on on that side. And I'm, you
• 23:18
  know, going too far from from astray
• 23:20
  from where I intended to go. But you
• 23:22
  know what I'm going to do? I'm going to
• 23:23
  play a a uh a riff for you, something I
• 23:27
  like to listen to. And uh I'm going to
• 23:30
  give you this. This is Vivo and uh
• 23:35
  Mimifi. Uh it's a cool song. Um let's
• 23:38
  see. Hopefully you will enjoy. I did.
• 23:43
  [music]
• 24:01
  The night falls [music] slow across my
• 24:04
  room. Your memory [music] blooms where
• 24:08
  flowers never do.
• 24:10
  I hear your footsteps in the hall, but
• 24:15
  no [music] one's there at all.
• 24:19
  Your sweater still hangs by the door.
• 24:24
  Like you're coming home once [music]
• 24:26
  more.
• 24:27
  I know you're gone. I know it's true.
• 24:32
  >> [music]
• 24:32
  >> But every road leads back to you.
• 24:37
  The world keeps turning [music]
• 24:39
  without us. But my heart is still where
• 24:43
  it was. I'm missing you forever.
• 24:48
  [music]
• 24:49
  No matter how time flies,
• 24:54
  [music] you're the tear I never cry.
• 24:57
  The truth behind [music] my eyes.
• 25:03
  I'm missing you forever
• 25:06
  like [music] the moon.
• 25:11
  [music] Some stories never really end.
• 25:17
  Even when they're [music] done.
• 25:25
  [music]
• 25:34
  >> [music]
• 25:37
  >> I read the letters that we wrote.
• 25:41
  [music] Every word still gives me hope.
• 25:46
  Though I know there's no return, my
• 25:50
  heart [music]
• 25:51
  still has to learn.
• 25:54
  The seasons changed [music] a thousand
• 25:57
  times, but you still live inside [music]
• 26:01
  my mind. Every sunrise,
• 26:05
  every rain
• 26:08
  [music] brings your name again.
• 26:13
  Maybe one day I'll smile again
• 26:17
  without [music] pretending now and
• 26:22
  some love stay beneath the skin
• 26:26
  long [music] after they have been.
• 26:31
  I'm missing [music] you forever
• 26:34
  but I won't ask you to stay.
• 26:40
  I'll carry [music] all the love we have
• 26:43
  and I'll find another way.
• 26:48
  [music]
• 26:50
  I'm missing you forever.
• 26:52
  Yeah, I'll keep [music] moving through
• 26:58
  because a part of me will always
• 27:03
  be in love with you.
• 27:08
  Forever gone.
• 27:10
  [music]
• 27:12
  Forever true.
• 27:16
  Forever missing [music]
• 27:20
  you.
• 27:31
  [music]
• 27:40
  I like that. Good stuff. Okay. Uh, let's
• 27:43
  see. I was successful in what I was
• 27:46
  trying to do here and I wanted to
• 27:50
  because this is why I watch it. Okay.
• 27:52
  Americans, we never get any we don't get
• 27:55
  the other side of the news. We don't get
• 27:56
  the other side of the commentary. We
• 27:58
  don't get anything cuz nobody nobody
• 28:01
  speaks a different language. You know,
• 28:02
  in most countries a lot they speak
• 28:04
  different languages. Like you go
• 28:05
  somewhere, hell, a lot of people speak
• 28:07
  English. I want to practice my English
• 28:09
  with you because, you know, but I want
• 28:10
  to practice my Russian with them. You
• 28:12
  know, it's uh uh you know, I wish I
• 28:14
  spoke more languages. You know, my wife
• 28:16
  speaks five of them and she's uh uh you
• 28:19
  know, it's awesome to have her in Turkey
• 28:21
  and uh she speaks Arabic. you know,
• 28:23
  Arabic is uh she can get by with all of
• 28:25
  the basics and everybody understands her
• 28:26
  and they love the fact that she does it.
• 28:28
  But Turkish, Turkish, she's fluent, you
• 28:30
  know, uh and all those uh like she
• 28:33
  speaks Tatar and so Tatar means she can
• 28:36
  speak uh some of the bashiri languages
• 28:38
  over there. They're all there's so many
• 28:39
  of them it's crazy. So they to in order
• 28:42
  to live [laughter]
• 28:44
  they have to learn other languages and
• 28:45
  in America speak English, you know, it's
• 28:48
  like get rid of that foreign stuff. We
• 28:51
  don't want to hear it. Anyway, uh there
• 28:53
  so I like to share some of the uh
• 28:56
  construction and so I watch Soliv. Now
• 28:58
  this is actually pre- wildber berries
• 29:00
  too. So Soliv is definitely throttled on
• 29:04
  um or YouTube so it's hard to find the
• 29:08
  video. I used to be able to watch it on
• 29:09
  Smotim uh with a uh with a uh VPN all
• 29:14
  the time, but now it's no longer there.
• 29:16
  They they only do the the the weekly
• 29:18
  show and so it's a a bit of a pain in
• 29:21
  the rear end but it's hard to get but
• 29:23
  I'm telling you people listen to this
• 29:25
  the older generation for sure are
• 29:27
  solving you know they they watch the
• 29:30
  solen so uh it's uh this is and the
• 29:33
  format I've told you before I love the
• 29:35
  format I'm going to share with you the
• 29:36
  opening of this show
• 29:39
  uh that that where he was talking about
• 29:41
  this and this was mainly on the death
• 29:43
  that I was talking about of that
• 29:45
  Ukrainian lady before and this is the
• 29:47
  opener of his show and I'm going to I'm
• 29:50
  going to share it with you.
• 29:52
  Vladimir Solio, something caught my
• 29:54
  attention and and the translations are
• 29:56
  always kind of iffy but they they I I I
• 29:59
  got the u the the service that I use. I
• 30:03
  told it I wanted the the the
• 30:06
  speech to flow which is so it's not an
• 30:08
  exact word for word translation but it's
• 30:11
  extremely hard to do that with a
• 30:12
  technical text anyway and but all of the
• 30:15
  main functions and and things go. So
• 30:18
  this is a a very accurate translation
• 30:20
  anyway because you know I took time to
• 30:22
  read it whilst uh I I put that beautiful
• 30:24
  song in your ears. Uh so he said
• 30:27
  something caught my attention today. An
• 30:29
  extraordinary mantra by Marta Kos, one
• 30:32
  of the European commissioners. It is
• 30:34
  truly a mantra. I want you to hear it
• 30:37
  and then we'll carefully take it apart
• 30:39
  with our friends. And he's got the six
• 30:41
  guys standing around ready to you know
• 30:43
  the political logs. And here's what she
• 30:45
  said. And she did say this. I listened
• 30:47
  to it. This is not simply a war over
• 30:49
  territory. This is a war over Ukraine's
• 30:53
  right to determine its own future of as
• 30:56
  a sovereign state, a state that chose
• 31:00
  democracy,
• 31:01
  Europe, and the path toward membership
• 31:04
  in the European Union. It is precisely
• 31:07
  this choice that Moscow refuses to
• 31:10
  accept. That's what she said on the
• 31:12
  floor of the EU in and and uh Sio says,
• 31:17
  this is why I like watching him. He
• 31:18
  goes, "Every word of that is a lie." And
• 31:21
  and a lie, you can say a lie is a lo.
• 31:24
  That's a bad word. But he called it van.
• 31:27
  And vano is crap. Is rubbish. It's it's
• 31:32
  a a far harsh It's a far more harsh word
• 31:34
  than just a lo a lie. And [snorts] uh so
• 31:38
  sometimes you definitely miss the
• 31:40
  context in translation. And that's why I
• 31:42
  like listen to the guy. He goes, "Every
• 31:44
  word of it is crap." you know, that
• 31:46
  would be the equivalent, right? And uh
• 31:49
  first and he explains it and he's right,
• 31:51
  by the way. He goes, "First, Moscow is
• 31:53
  profoundly indifferent to whether
• 31:55
  Ukraine joins the European Union." And
• 31:57
  that's true. Trump or Putin has said it
• 32:00
  repeatedly. You want to join the EU?
• 32:02
  Great. You're not joining NATO and no
• 32:05
  weapons will be over there. We don't
• 32:06
  give a crap if you join the EU. He's
• 32:07
  never had any problem with that. Other
• 32:09
  people have, but you know, uh uh Putin's
• 32:12
  been pretty straightforward on that. We
• 32:14
  have said repeatedly that we have no
• 32:16
  objection to Ukraine entering the
• 32:18
  European Union. This is Solio again. In
• 32:20
  fact, I personally insist that Ukraine
• 32:23
  should be admitted to the European Union
• 32:25
  immediately. Our issue concerns NATO and
• 32:28
  NATO alone. Ukraine's entry into NATO is
• 32:31
  unacceptable to us. Second, this
• 32:34
  conflict was never fundamentally about
• 32:36
  territory. It was always about the will
• 32:39
  of the people living on historically
• 32:41
  Russian land. It's absolutely true.
• 32:45
  Okay, we've been lied to over here
• 32:47
  forever. Russians want to take over the
• 32:49
  world. Grab your nuclear weapons and get
• 32:52
  in a bunker. You know, he said. So,
• 32:54
  Marta Kos is lying about that as well.
• 32:58
  And they've been lying about it in the
• 32:59
  West for the entire period of the war
• 33:02
  and longer all the way back to 2014. And
• 33:05
  she apparently does not understand what
• 33:08
  kind of Ukraine she is describing. What
• 33:11
  relationship do freedom and democracy
• 33:14
  have in contemporary Ukraine? None
• 33:17
  whatsoever. And I agree with him
• 33:19
  completely there because there is none.
• 33:21
  There's no democracy and there is no
• 33:24
  freedom. Not in Ukraine. No way. You get
• 33:27
  killed for money over there. You
• 33:29
  everybody's corrupt. You know, it's you
• 33:32
  you [snorts] it's all about sucking up
• 33:35
  to the proper power. And that power
• 33:37
  channel is now funded by the West. Holy.
• 33:40
  And that's where the money's coming
• 33:42
  from. So you better talk to the people
• 33:44
  who get the Western money. Period. He
• 33:47
  said, "Today during the NATO gathering,"
• 33:49
  this is actually the one from the, you
• 33:51
  know, when they had the weekend. This is
• 33:52
  the last week show. Said, "Today, during
• 33:55
  the NATO gathering, Zilinsky appeared
• 33:57
  before a Congress of weapon
• 33:58
  manufacturers. He stood at a podium
• 34:00
  marked with NATO symbols and delivered
• 34:02
  his speech. this illegitimate terrorist,
• 34:05
  this scoundrel, this degenerate began
• 34:08
  loudly talking about how many Russians
• 34:10
  had had been killed. And he and he
• 34:13
  really did. He was talking about we
• 34:15
  killed a bunch of them and were bombing
• 34:16
  the crap out of them. And and his only
• 34:18
  positive was was that they were bombing,
• 34:21
  you know, and droning Russia. That's it.
• 34:23
  They're not winning the war. They're
• 34:24
  losing. But, you know, and so Soliv
• 34:27
  continues, "I have a proposal. Ukraine
• 34:30
  is refusing to take back the body of of
• 34:32
  its soldiers at Constantin. I shared
• 34:35
  that story with you last week. Let us
• 34:37
  decide which NATO country embassy in
• 34:40
  Moscow should receive the bodies.
• 34:43
  If those countries openly stand behind
• 34:46
  Ukraine, boast about Russian losses and
• 34:48
  continue supplying contra supplying
• 34:51
  Ukraine with weapons, then they are
• 34:52
  participants in the conflict. Now that
• 34:56
  particular exchange, Russia had some
• 34:59
  7,000 or something uh bodies that they
• 35:02
  from Constantinovka that they wanted to
• 35:05
  give back to Ukraine and Ukraine had 51
• 35:08
  or 39, something like that, way under a
• 35:11
  hundred uh that they that they were
• 35:13
  going to return to Russia, you know, or
• 35:15
  they were and then they refused the
• 35:16
  bodies. Ukraine always refuses the
• 35:18
  bodies because as soon as they take the
• 35:20
  bodies, they have to acknowledge the
• 35:21
  deaths of the people that they're
• 35:23
  returning and pay it cost them 300,000
• 35:26
  by by one of the estimates that I read
• 35:28
  uh 300,000 bucks per uh and and that's
• 35:33
  in dollars by the way for a death
• 35:35
  payment to the family and they don't
• 35:38
  want to pay it and they're not paying it
• 35:39
  and they if they leave the bodies in
• 35:41
  Russia then they don't have to pay it.
• 35:43
  So these are these are real issues,
• 35:45
  right? And uh if these countries Oh, I
• 35:48
  already read that. Mcronone himself has
• 35:50
  said that Europe is a party to the
• 35:52
  conflict. The Germans say they will not
• 35:54
  allow Ukraine to be defeated. Yet
• 35:56
  Ukraine doesn't even collect the bodies
• 35:58
  of the soldiers that the European Union
• 36:00
  sent to their deaths. Bring in the
• 36:03
  journalists. Put the transfer on camera.
• 36:07
  Let everyone see the reality behind the
• 36:09
  Green Goblin, behind the Zmonsters
• 36:11
  assertion that Ukraine isn't losing. If
• 36:14
  Ukraine does not want to collect its
• 36:16
  dead, then let the European Union
• 36:18
  collect them. The European Union is in
• 36:20
  practice fighting Russia through NATO
• 36:23
  anyway. If the European Union still
• 36:25
  maintains a representation in Moscow, if
• 36:28
  it has not yet been expelled, then
• 36:30
  perhaps the bodies should be delivered
• 36:32
  there. Invite the Ukrainian families as
• 36:35
  well. Let them identify their relatives,
• 36:37
  recover their remains, and bury them in
• 36:40
  a Christian manner. Is that harsh? Was
• 36:42
  it not harsh when they killed our women
• 36:45
  and children? Was it not harsh when
• 36:47
  Ukrainian terrorists hunted them and
• 36:50
  were awarded points for killing them?
• 36:52
  He's talking about Miritz.
• 36:55
  So, there are several questions that
• 36:57
  must be asked after Zalinsk's
• 36:59
  performance and after the latest attack
• 37:01
  on our territory. What was the name of
• 37:04
  the place that exploded during the
• 37:06
  night? Vishnavoya. I therefore have
• 37:09
  three words, three questions for
• 37:11
  Zalinski.
• 37:12
  Constantinovka, Vishnavoya, and Monaco.
• 37:16
  Constantinovka has been taken.
• 37:18
  Vishnavoya demonstrated clearly what
• 37:21
  Russia is capable of doing and showed
• 37:23
  that underground installations will not
• 37:26
  protect the Ukrainians. Let Zalinski
• 37:28
  tell us how many chi civilians were
• 37:31
  killed in Vishino
• 37:33
  Vishnavoya because Ukrainian arsenals
• 37:36
  and military production had been placed
• 37:38
  in a residential neighborhood. And then
• 37:41
  there is Monaco. That is a question for
• 37:44
  the Europeans. Did they fail to notice
• 37:47
  that in a political assassination
• 37:49
  occurred on the territory of Monaco? Why
• 37:53
  have Ukrainian ambassadors not been
• 37:55
  expelled from PR France? Everybody knows
• 37:57
  this, by the way. Why have sanctions not
• 38:00
  been introduced? Everybody knows it was
• 38:02
  a hit and everybody knows the details
• 38:04
  about the hit and nobody's doing a damn
• 38:06
  thing about it. Oh well, that's, you
• 38:08
  know, it's Ukrainian, right? It's
• 38:10
  international freaking Where's
• 38:12
  everybody? How come nobody's bitching? I
• 38:14
  mean, this is legitimate points, right?
• 38:17
  And he says, um, why have Ukrainian
• 38:21
  ambassadors not been expelled from
• 38:22
  France? Why have sanctions not been
• 38:24
  introduced? There was an attempted
• 38:26
  political assassination of a citizen of
• 38:28
  the European Union in Monaco. The man
• 38:30
  who was targeted big businessman Yermal
• 38:33
  is not merely Ukrainian. He's a citizen
• 38:36
  of Cyprus and Cyprus has not revoked his
• 38:39
  citizenship. Therefore, the European
• 38:42
  Union has demonstrated that it will not
• 38:44
  protect even its own citizens. Now, we
• 38:46
  are watching clumsy attempts to cover
• 38:49
  the tracks of this event. Near Kiev,
• 38:52
  authorities found the body of a woman
• 38:54
  named Berisovskaya and she was suspected
• 38:58
  of participating in the attempted
• 39:00
  assassination of of Viral in Monaco. She
• 39:03
  was killed for a small amount of money,
• 39:06
  practically nothing. According to
• 39:08
  reports being circulated, approximately
• 39:10
  €200,000 euro had been opocated for the
• 39:14
  whole operation. Round 150,000 was taken
• 39:18
  by the organizer organizers or principal
• 39:20
  operatives. Only about 8,000 of it
• 39:23
  reached Berovska along with a prop
• 39:26
  approximately 5,000 more euros for
• 39:29
  travel. The remainder was taken by two
• 39:32
  men involved in the operation. One was
• 39:34
  an active employee of the Ukrainian
• 39:36
  military intelligence. The other was a
• 39:39
  law enforcement officer former in whose
• 39:41
  basement investigators discovered a
• 39:43
  torture room. Beerizovskaya was killed
• 39:46
  with a shot to the back of the head. We
• 39:48
  know how she crossed the border. It is
• 39:50
  obvious that this could not have
• 39:52
  happened without direct assistance from
• 39:54
  state structures. And now those tracks
• 39:57
  are being erased. I am surprised that
• 40:00
  the other two men haven't been killed
• 40:01
  yet. Perhaps they are still needed to
• 40:04
  provide testimony to redirect suspicion
• 40:06
  away from the highest levels of the
• 40:08
  Ukrainian authority. This is not merely
• 40:11
  a dispute among small-time criminals. It
• 40:14
  was very revealing. There was an
• 40:17
  assassination of and Andre Portoy in
• 40:20
  Spain connected to Ukraine. There was
• 40:23
  neither the first nor the last
• 40:25
  assassination of politically
• 40:26
  inconvenient persons carried out by
• 40:29
  Ukrainian security structures on
• 40:31
  European territory. You remember me
• 40:32
  telling you about the the the first ship
• 40:35
  uh that the Ukrainians blew up was in
• 40:37
  the uh Mediterranean.
• 40:40
  They blew up a a a cargo ship in the
• 40:42
  Mediterranean. I think oil ship,
• 40:44
  whatever. They blew it up. Nobody said a
• 40:46
  word and it's traveling through the
• 40:47
  Mediterranean for God's sake. Nobody
• 40:50
  said anything. It's okay because
• 40:53
  Ukrainian and that was the very first
• 40:55
  one. And you know what that meant? That
• 40:57
  meant that shipping of uh and the
• 41:00
  bombing of shipping of of uh uh
• 41:04
  container ships of uh man that's a
• 41:07
  different word in Russian. that's lo of
• 41:09
  of the large uh cargo ships. Those are
• 41:13
  all fair game now worldwide. You can
• 41:16
  just go out and kill them and all you
• 41:17
  got to do is oh sanctions, you know,
• 41:19
  sanctions. I put sanctions out and these
• 41:21
  [ __ ] didn't follow them. Nonsense.
• 41:24
  It's like that's that's international
• 41:26
  law for you. No wonder Lloyds and
• 41:27
  neither will the Chinese. Nobody will
• 41:29
  nobody will insure them anymore. And you
• 41:32
  know in order to get to the port well
• 41:33
  we'll get to that and that's another
• 41:35
  thing for another story. But his point
• 41:37
  Salv is right. I went on my own personal
• 41:39
  rant. I'm going to go back to his now.
• 41:41
  The European Union is silent. And I say
• 41:44
  this directly to the European law
• 41:46
  enforcement agencies and European
• 41:48
  politicians. This is Saliv. You are
• 41:50
  incapable of protecting European
• 41:52
  citizens even during the initial stage
• 41:55
  of the penetration of Ukrainian
• 41:57
  organized crime into your territory. And
• 42:01
  this is the point for you Americans
• 42:04
  because if they show up, they're already
• 42:07
  here, by the way. They're everywhere.
• 42:09
  Nobody's safe. You cannot yet imagine
• 42:12
  the bloodshed that will begin in Europe.
• 42:15
  And incidentally, a hint of what awaits
• 42:18
  Europe has already been delivered by
• 42:19
  Budanov. He decided to put Poland in its
• 42:23
  place. Poland, the country that for a
• 42:26
  long period has done more than anyone
• 42:28
  else for Ukraine. The Poles believe
• 42:32
  naively that the Ukrainians can be
• 42:34
  trusted. Well, well, let us listen in.
• 42:37
  And here's the Polish interviewer. The
• 42:39
  Polish interviewer says to uh he's
• 42:42
  interviewing a Ukrainian official
• 42:45
  interviewer says, "Among our friends and
• 42:47
  partners, there is one country that is
• 42:50
  particularly important and that country
• 42:52
  is Poland. you yourself have said
• 42:55
  perhaps about a week ago that unless
• 42:57
  further escalation is stopped the peak
• 43:00
  of the crisis may still lie ahead and
• 43:03
  the Ukrainian guy says the peak is
• 43:05
  certainly still ahead there's no great
• 43:07
  mystery there a little more than a week
• 43:11
  remains before the anniversary of the
• 43:14
  volia tragedy and that's the Polish you
• 43:18
  know that uh that's where all the Poles
• 43:20
  were killed hundreds of thousands of
• 43:21
  them according to the information
• 43:23
  available to me. The Polish side is
• 43:26
  preparing what I would describe as
• 43:28
  further immature steps of escalation.
• 43:31
  Therefore, all this is clearly
• 43:33
  continuing of the Volheia tragedy. And
• 43:36
  the interviewer goes, "How seriously do
• 43:38
  you regard the situation in practical
• 43:40
  and pragmatic terms? I'm not asking
• 43:42
  about symbolic gestures. the removal of
• 43:44
  the reward. Remember they took the award
• 43:46
  away from from uh Zilinski, the Eagle
• 43:50
  award, the renaming of something or
• 43:52
  another historical desk declaration. I'm
• 43:55
  talking about the consequence clusters,
• 43:57
  military assistance and broader
• 43:59
  cooperation. And here's the Ukrainian
• 44:01
  guy says,
• 44:04
  I [clears throat] use the term
• 44:05
  immaturity and that's exactly how I see
• 44:08
  it.
• 44:10
  Let me repeat repeat repeat cuz the
• 44:12
  polls had given him they said look you
• 44:14
  need to quit doing this and naming your
• 44:16
  units after Nazi units that destroyed
• 44:18
  the polls Ukrainian Nazis that destroyed
• 44:21
  the polls in Volia and they're going
• 44:23
  screw you we you know we they're
• 44:26
  honoring Nazism right here and polls and
• 44:30
  this is the point listen to this
• 44:33
  let me repeat he said Ukraine will not
• 44:37
  accept ultimatums from anyone in the
• 44:40
  world. The last country that attempted
• 44:43
  to present us with an ultimatum was the
• 44:46
  Russian Federation. No offense to
• 44:48
  Poland, but Russia is somewhat more
• 44:50
  powerful than Poland. And even Russia's
• 44:53
  uh ultimatum was not accepted by us.
• 44:56
  Yes, it has been difficult. Yes, the
• 44:58
  situation is bad and a great deal of
• 45:01
  blood has been shed. But we still do not
• 45:03
  accept an ultimatum. So why does anyone
• 45:06
  imagine we would ever accept a different
• 45:09
  ultimatum from anybody else? No one
• 45:11
  should speak to Ukraine in the language
• 45:13
  of ultimatums. That's the Ukrainian
• 45:17
  thought process for
• 45:19
  the majority. I mean a lot. And if they
• 45:23
  want to be Nazis by God, you ain't going
• 45:25
  to stop them. If they want to be white
• 45:28
  supremacists, you ain't going to stop
• 45:30
  them. And if they think you need to be
• 45:32
  killed because you disagree with them,
• 45:34
  you're not going to stop them. And and
• 45:36
  they don't care about the consequences,
• 45:38
  you know, the money, the the you know,
• 45:40
  we we got the money, you know, we'll
• 45:42
  they'll disappear, you know, and they
• 45:44
  are harsh and brutal, okay? And I hate
• 45:47
  to and I don't generalize. I I mean I
• 45:50
  there's some beautiful people as well,
• 45:52
  you know, but don't think that uh just
• 45:53
  because they're uh uh you know waving a
• 45:58
  Ukrainian flag that they're necessarily
• 46:00
  the good guy. Okay? And that is the
• 46:02
  problem. And Soliv's reaction to this
• 46:04
  was he said, "There you have it, Poles.
• 46:06
  Wipe yourselves with that [laughter]
• 46:10
  is what he said. Wipe yourselves with
• 46:12
  all the assistance you give them. You're
• 46:15
  raising not only your former
• 46:16
  executioners but your future
• 46:18
  executioners as well. Is that clear?
• 46:22
  Okay. Let let them swallow everything
• 46:24
  they have spent all these years
• 46:26
  cultivating Ukraine. They built this.
• 46:29
  They encouraged it. They excused it.
• 46:32
  They armed it. And now they are
• 46:34
  discovering that Ukraine does not regard
• 46:37
  Poland as a benefactor whose concerns
• 46:39
  should be respected. Ukraine regards
• 46:42
  Poland as a weak state that has no right
• 46:44
  to issue demands. The Ukrainian message
• 46:46
  is simple. We did not obey Russia and
• 46:49
  Russia is more powerful than you. So why
• 46:51
  would we obey Poland? That is the
• 46:54
  gratitude that Poland receives. That is
• 46:56
  the result of spending and nurturing the
• 47:00
  Ukrainian regime.
• 47:02
  And uh then he said he wanted to say you
• 47:04
  a few words about Beirovsk. That's the
• 47:06
  girl who killed the guy or tried to kill
• 47:08
  the guy in Monaco. put a bomb out there
• 47:12
  when she disappeared and could not be
• 47:14
  found. I had no doubt that she was
• 47:16
  already dead. She, you know, she had she
• 47:18
  was. That was the logical conclusion
• 47:21
  considering the publicity surrounding
• 47:23
  the crime that occurred in Monaco. But
• 47:25
  what kind of idiot would kill her in
• 47:27
  Ukraine and then allow her body to be
• 47:29
  discovered? What kind of stupidity is
• 47:31
  that? It shows they have completely lost
• 47:34
  their minds because they have enjoyed
• 47:36
  impunity for so long. The Kiev regime
• 47:40
  consists, where'd I go here? The Kiev
• 47:43
  regime consists of scoundrels and
• 47:45
  criminals. That is obvious. Well, it's
• 47:47
  true, too. But they are not ordinarily
• 47:49
  stupid. They understand their position
• 47:52
  in the geopolitical structure perfectly
• 47:54
  well. They understand that they are
• 47:56
  playing a central role in the West's
• 47:59
  confrontation with Russia. For that
• 48:00
  reason, they believe quite rationally
• 48:03
  from their point of view that they will
• 48:04
  never be punished for anything they do.
• 48:07
  And I agree with that assessment
• 48:09
  completely. The woman crossed the border
• 48:11
  quickly. She was given assistance and
• 48:14
  passage. She was not forcibly
• 48:16
  transported out of Europe. She drove
• 48:18
  herself back to Ukraine. But once
• 48:21
  information concerning her identity
• 48:22
  began appearing publicly and photographs
• 48:24
  of her and information concerning her
• 48:26
  con connection surfaced online,
• 48:29
  everything became clear and you know,
• 48:31
  she knew she was going to be dead. At
• 48:33
  that point, she probably panicked and
• 48:35
  tried to save herself. But the two men
• 48:38
  connected to the operation also began
• 48:40
  panicking because they understand that
• 48:42
  the trail trail will lead to them also.
• 48:45
  But they didn't act independently.
• 48:46
  Somebody gave them 200 euro or €200,000
• 48:49
  euro. This was not some spontaneous
• 48:52
  criminal improvisation. This is crime at
• 48:54
  the highest level. By the way, uh
• 48:57
  someone at a significant level
• 48:59
  authorized the operation. Zalinski once
• 49:01
  again demonstrated that the Ukrainian
• 49:04
  state functions like an organized
• 49:06
  criminal group. And that's true, friends
• 49:09
  and neighbors. This there is one more
• 49:11
  possibility. Perhaps the Americans
• 49:14
  embedded within the Ukrainian security
• 49:16
  structure are now attempting to restrain
• 49:19
  the regime because it has become too
• 49:21
  reckless. I think that's what's going on
• 49:23
  with Sirki right now because they got
• 49:26
  rid of that guy Fodov last week. I mean,
• 49:28
  there's there's all kinds of inner drama
• 49:29
  going on in Ukraine and and and and the
• 49:32
  reason I'm sharing Soliv I don't usually
• 49:34
  share Soliv with you in so much detail,
• 49:36
  but I wanted to put this out there
• 49:37
  because he's freaking right. Just
• 49:40
  because he gets throttled everywhere and
• 49:42
  they don't they don't want to put his
• 49:43
  information out. You know, they'll
• 49:45
  throttle me for putting this out. You
• 49:47
  know, I won't be, you know, you can't
• 49:49
  you can't have an opinion like mine and
• 49:52
  have it broadcast to anywhere suitable
• 49:55
  to get a large to get a large. They're
• 49:57
  all throttling it. They don't want to
• 49:59
  hear the truth. Period. And that's the
• 50:02
  way it is in in you think America's
• 50:05
  different than anywhere else. It is not.
• 50:07
  It's throttled. It's controlled. And
• 50:10
  that's that. And uh that this is this is
• 50:12
  where we are. Okay. So, uh let's see.
• 50:15
  Perhaps the regime crossed even the red
• 50:18
  lines tolerated by the European Union by
• 50:21
  killing this guy in Monaco or trying to
• 50:23
  the Monaco operation communicated the
• 50:25
  message that we do not care where you
• 50:28
  are. There is no safe territory and they
• 50:32
  have behaved in this way. It's talking
• 50:34
  about Ukraine because they believe their
• 50:37
  current position protects them. They
• 50:39
  truly believe that and we can do
• 50:41
  anything with somebody's at war with us.
• 50:43
  Therefore, we can kill anybody connected
• 50:45
  to it. We can blow up wild berries
• 50:47
  plants connected. Oh, Jesus. Somebody
• 50:50
  mailed a mailed a drone uh what do you
• 50:52
  call it? Uh board, tech board, you know,
• 50:56
  whatever the board is that goes circuit
• 50:57
  board. They said somebody mailed a
• 50:59
  circuit board by uh uh Amazon, so
• 51:01
  therefore we got to blow up Amazon.
• 51:04
  That'd be the equivalent of what they
• 51:05
  did to Wildberries. Oh jeez. Maybe
• 51:07
  there's maybe they send these electronic
• 51:09
  components and uh those electronic
• 51:11
  components are going to people who
• 51:13
  manufacture drones in their houses and
• 51:15
  you know what a bunch of crap and so you
• 51:17
  blow up the blow up the whole logistics.
• 51:20
  So Russia been doing the same. I've been
• 51:22
  watching these videos and it's freaking
• 51:24
  frightening. They are taking out train
• 51:26
  stations. They are taking out um um
• 51:30
  shipping yards and those huge cranes.
• 51:32
  You ain't just putting a crane back in
• 51:34
  the ground. I mean they they are
• 51:36
  destroyed. They are taking these places
• 51:38
  to rubble and Kiev is next.
• 51:42
  And uh and I'm telling you it's it's not
• 51:44
  good over there. Anyway, uh let's get
• 51:46
  back to Soliv because there's only a
• 51:48
  little bit more I want to I want to say
• 51:50
  with him, but I want to finish on his
• 51:51
  his thought process of the Monaco
• 51:54
  attempts. He said uh the I'm going to
• 51:57
  repeat this for you. The Monaco
• 51:59
  operation commun communicated the
• 52:01
  message, we do not care where you are.
• 52:04
  or there is no safe territory.
• 52:06
  Basically, they're going to kill you
• 52:07
  anyway. And they have behaved in this
• 52:09
  way because they believe their current
• 52:11
  protect position protects them. They
• 52:13
  believe the West, US, we need this
• 52:18
  struggle against Russia and will
• 52:20
  therefore forgive anything. Now, that's
• 52:24
  telling cuz I think that's true, too.
• 52:26
  They let these [ __ ] get away with
• 52:28
  anything they want because they're
• 52:32
  fighting Russia. Do you want to, you
• 52:34
  know, blow up a school in uh uh um I
• 52:39
  forget the name of the town,
• 52:42
  start? I can't remember. But uh you you
• 52:45
  want to you want to blow up a a young
• 52:48
  girl's school? Nobody will question you
• 52:50
  for that. That's no big deal, you know.
• 52:52
  And you're forgiven. Bless you. Continue
• 52:54
  bombing. Keep it up. And everything is
• 52:57
  civilian, you know. It's crazy. They're
• 52:59
  not even attack. At least when they
• 53:00
  attacked, remember when they attacked
• 53:01
  those planes before and they had that
• 53:03
  drone thing? That was kind of a
• 53:06
  a pretty good military operation,
• 53:08
  successful, right? And uh but it was at
• 53:11
  least a military related target, you
• 53:13
  know. Now they're blowing up the
• 53:15
  civilians. They're attacking school
• 53:16
  buses in with drones and laughing about
• 53:20
  it. Okay.
• 53:22
  Uh at the moment, everyone's attention
• 53:24
  is focused on the NATO summit. Everyone
• 53:26
  will flatter Trump, manipulate Trump or
• 53:29
  extract something from Trump and Trump
• 53:31
  will attempt to manipulate all of them.
• 53:33
  He is a creative and entertaining
• 53:35
  character. Every day can produce the
• 53:37
  same story, but this is a significant
• 53:40
  moment. We will be approaching
• 53:42
  accumulation and after this summit
• 53:44
  events may finally begin moving toward a
• 53:46
  result. Situation cannot continue
• 53:49
  indefinitely in its present suspended
• 53:51
  form. And that's absolutely true. the
• 53:54
  the infrastructure of Ukraine is
• 53:57
  disappearing.
• 53:58
  The uh uh there's there's there's
• 54:00
  nothing uh there there's they they
• 54:03
  trains,
• 54:06
  gas stations, all down any main road in
• 54:09
  between any of the main cities. They
• 54:10
  can't get between the major cities
• 54:12
  without carrying their own uh you know
• 54:15
  significant amount of backup oil because
• 54:17
  you can't even necessarily get it when
• 54:19
  you get to the new place. They've been
• 54:22
  systematically taking out hundreds of uh
• 54:25
  gas stations and certainly along the
• 54:28
  along the main roads. So, let's see.
• 54:32
  Let's uh go to the British the British
• 54:36
  and Sevastapole. And uh a report from
• 54:39
  Russian intelligence service uh you know
• 54:42
  hasn't been paid that much attention to
• 54:45
  either. It says the British were behind
• 54:47
  the strike on the museum in Sevastal.
• 54:50
  remember me telling you about that? This
• 54:52
  museum, this shipping museum that's been
• 54:53
  around 400 years of Russian shipping in
• 54:57
  Sevastapole and they blew up the
• 54:58
  freaking uh museum. Why would you do
• 55:01
  that? I mean, you're attacking it's like
• 55:03
  attacking a church, you know? I mean,
• 55:05
  what what what the hell? What are you
• 55:06
  doing? But they're doing it. Um and
• 55:09
  we've discussed this uh before. I did
• 55:12
  not understand why there's report
• 55:14
  suggested the Ukrainians didn't know
• 55:16
  about this target. They did know. Of
• 55:19
  course they knew. But why would the
• 55:21
  British be involved? Because the museum
• 55:23
  wasn't a military target. But it
• 55:25
  represents something else. History,
• 55:29
  identity, humiliation. It represents
• 55:32
  reminders of defeat. And and and until
• 55:36
  Britain is restrained, this will
• 55:38
  continue. But we got to expand the
• 55:41
  geography. The problem is Europe as a
• 55:44
  whole. Look at what European politicians
• 55:47
  now openly permit themselves to say.
• 55:50
  They concede that Russia cannot be
• 55:52
  defeated on the battlefield. They
• 55:54
  concede the Russian economy has not
• 55:56
  collapsed. Therefore, [snorts] they say
• 55:58
  their principal task is to destabilize
• 56:01
  Russian society from within. That's what
• 56:04
  they're all saying. That's what the
• 56:05
  Ukrainians have been doing. That's they
• 56:06
  want to control these elections that are
• 56:08
  coming up. So, and the only way they can
• 56:10
  do that is blow up Wild Berry's plants.
• 56:13
  attack concerts,
• 56:16
  blow up families on the Crimean beach.
• 56:20
  You know, this is how you say this is
• 56:23
  the torment of civilians
• 56:26
  is how the Ukrainians intend to get
• 56:27
  their goal. And you hear their actions,
• 56:29
  you know, when they're the way they
• 56:31
  talk, they are brutal and and they don't
• 56:34
  care. You know, you aren't giving us an
• 56:36
  ultimatum. If we want to blow up an
• 56:38
  oligarch in Monaco, we're going to. And
• 56:42
  that is true. The consequences do not
• 56:46
  matter. You ever watch those shows? Uh
• 56:49
  and and it's all we have for the
• 56:50
  Russians. Um the Russians the
• 56:53
  allegation. So and one of my favorite
• 56:55
  shows, the Russian ones is brat uh and
• 56:59
  brata and brat means brother. And I've
• 57:02
  talked about it before on this show. And
• 57:05
  uh and brought brat to brother two they
• 57:08
  come to Chicago and engage in something.
• 57:10
  And it's the Ukrainian mafia because
• 57:12
  it's all Ukrainian mafia is all over
• 57:14
  Chicago and everybody knows it. And uh
• 57:17
  they they are harsh. They're very very
• 57:20
  harsh and they chase them through here.
• 57:23
  Even the Russians were talking about it
• 57:24
  in the '9s, the Ukrainians. And anything
• 57:27
  for money, anything for power. And if
• 57:30
  that means you got to kill some people,
• 57:32
  well, it means you got to kill some
• 57:33
  people. And uh that's that, you know.
• 57:36
  And uh so they but Russia, you know, is
• 57:41
  try is is being destabilized. And how do
• 57:44
  you destabilize it? You act like the
• 57:47
  mafia. This is this is exactly right.
• 57:50
  This is mafia style tactics. The
• 57:53
  principal task is to destabilize Russia.
• 57:56
  And look what the Netherlands are
• 57:58
  saying. They call for maximum assistance
• 58:00
  to Ukraine and increased participation
• 58:03
  in the confrontation. But then this is
• 58:06
  Solivv asking about this. He has one
• 58:08
  question. Why haven't Dutch oil
• 58:10
  refineries yet exploded?
• 58:13
  If everybody's involved in a war with
• 58:15
  Russia and the war involves blowing up
• 58:17
  oil refineries in Russia, why aren't
• 58:19
  they blowing them up elsewhere? Why is
• 58:22
  Russia restraining itself?
• 58:25
  Why against these civilian types? Now
• 58:28
  they're taking out Odessa and they're
• 58:30
  they're doing it in Odessa and Ukraine,
• 58:32
  but they haven't crossed the borders.
• 58:34
  They're not going to other places, you
• 58:36
  know, but it's it's certainly free for
• 58:38
  Ukraine to go anywhere in the country of
• 58:41
  Russia and destroy anything out there.
• 58:43
  Well, if the Russians are really
• 58:45
  fighting the entire West, why why isn't
• 58:48
  it justified for the uh for them to do
• 58:52
  the same to blow up shipping? I don't
• 58:54
  know. It's an interesting question. I
• 58:57
  don't agree with it. I don't agree with
• 58:58
  the expansion. I don't agree with what
• 59:00
  they're doing anyway. There's always
• 59:01
  kind of been an unspoken rule. You don't
• 59:05
  make you don't attack the people, the
• 59:08
  people that it's a war, you know, you
• 59:10
  you fight the combatants. That's not
• 59:13
  Ukraine. That is not Ukraine at all.
• 59:15
  They're losing their asses on the front
• 59:17
  lines. I got to get to Searski and I
• 59:19
  want to I want to talk a little bit
• 59:21
  about that. And uh it's almost finished
• 59:23
  here where he says uh
• 59:28
  uh they're all about this
• 59:29
  destabilization.
• 59:32
  But we also have people inside of Russia
• 59:34
  who insist that destabilization whether
• 59:37
  uh who insist that destabilization um
• 59:40
  continue whether deliberately or through
• 59:42
  stupidity. Several months ago,
• 59:44
  information appeared that Ukrainian
• 59:45
  nationalist structures using NATO money
• 59:48
  were purchasing media channels, Telegram
• 59:51
  channels, and other information
• 59:52
  platforms. There were even allegations
• 59:54
  concerning supposed pro-Russian or Z
• 59:57
  military bloggers. But the FSB, the
• 1:00:00
  Foreign Intelligence Service, reportedly
• 1:00:02
  observed and reported this activity. One
• 1:00:04
  manner matter is an invented provocation
• 1:00:07
  with no foundation. It's another when
• 1:00:09
  our own institutions are giving
• 1:00:11
  ammunition to the same people and it
• 1:00:13
  sometimes appears deliberate. But it
• 1:00:15
  becomes difficult to believe that all of
• 1:00:17
  it is just accidental. So I will put it
• 1:00:19
  more harshly. A reasonable suspicion has
• 1:00:22
  arisen. Is there some form of agreement
• 1:00:25
  among oligarchs?
• 1:00:28
  A a comprador bourgeoisi. He said
• 1:00:32
  something in French which I assume is a
• 1:00:34
  group of bourgeoisi whose principal
• 1:00:36
  objective is to force Russia into an
• 1:00:39
  unfavorable peace. That is a question
• 1:00:41
  not merely for public discussion but for
• 1:00:44
  highly professional services. They
• 1:00:46
  should be given freedom to act. Ukraine
• 1:00:48
  is increasingly brazen about its
• 1:00:51
  efforts. Goes out, kills civilians,
• 1:00:53
  blows them up. Our air defenses are
• 1:00:56
  working as hard as possible but the
• 1:00:58
  attacks continue. And he's talking about
• 1:01:00
  Russia. Of course, Europe remains
• 1:01:01
  untouched while the damage inflicted on
• 1:01:04
  Russia grows larger every day. At some
• 1:01:07
  point, this arrangement must end. And we
• 1:01:09
  have to identify the real source of the
• 1:01:11
  threat. The source of the threat is not
• 1:01:13
  just Ukraine. The source is Europe.
• 1:01:16
  Ukraine is not independently carrying
• 1:01:18
  out these attacks. Target selection,
• 1:01:21
  intelligence, guidance, and support are
• 1:01:24
  provided by NATO.
• 1:01:27
  >> Yes. Caller, how may I help you? Oh, you
• 1:01:30
  gota turn your radio down.
• 1:01:32
  >> Oh, can you hear me?
• 1:01:34
  >> I can continue.
• 1:01:37
  >> Cool.
• 1:01:38
  Uh I it's it's kind of hypocritical for
• 1:01:41
  you to talk about um Ukraine blowing up
• 1:01:44
  citizens when uh everybody on Fox News
• 1:01:47
  is chanting about bridge and and power
• 1:01:50
  plant day.
• 1:01:51
  >> Yeah, I know. I know. It's crazy, isn't
• 1:01:53
  it?
• 1:01:56
  >> It's crazy you're not mentioning it. Uh
• 1:01:58
  you you're you're up in arms that
• 1:01:59
  they're fighting a war in in Ukraine,
• 1:02:01
  but you're not concerned that your own
• 1:02:03
  country is doing the exact same thing.
• 1:02:05
  >> Well, well, I know we're doing the exact
• 1:02:06
  same thing. That's not today's topic.
• 1:02:09
  >> It's not today. [laughter] I know I know
• 1:02:12
  we're doing the same thing. I'm just not
• 1:02:13
  talking about it is what you're saying.
• 1:02:15
  >> Well, that is what I'm saying. I'm not
• 1:02:17
  I'm I'm I'm on your side about that.
• 1:02:19
  >> About another country.
• 1:02:20
  >> I'm I I agree with you.
• 1:02:21
  >> How you going to be bellyachching about
• 1:02:23
  another country doing it when when we're
• 1:02:24
  doing the exact same thing? But uh
• 1:02:27
  remember back when when the uh program
• 1:02:29
  was we were we were saving the poor uh
• 1:02:32
  >> Yeah, I know. I'm I'm I'm with you and I
• 1:02:34
  agree with that. My topic today is not
• 1:02:36
  Iran.
• 1:02:40
  >> I'm I'm not talking about Iran either.
• 1:02:41
  I'm talking about uh uh warthirsty.
• 1:02:46
  >> Well, I I I agree with you like like you
• 1:02:48
  are the same the same what same thing
• 1:02:50
  you're talking about.
• 1:02:51
  >> I'm a war criminal. What? Oh, you mean
• 1:02:54
  what I'm talking about? Not that I'm a
• 1:02:55
  war criminal, too.
• 1:02:57
  >> No.
• 1:02:58
  >> Yeah. Well, that's good. Well, maybe I
• 1:03:00
  am. Who knows? I was in the I was in the
• 1:03:02
  military. Maybe I was a criminal. Who
• 1:03:04
  knows?
• 1:03:05
  >> Yeah. Yeah. You guys end up coping to a
• 1:03:08
  lot of stuff. I maybe I missed that part
• 1:03:10
  where
• 1:03:10
  >> Maybe so.
• 1:03:12
  >> Yeah. I I I I only did uh underground
• 1:03:15
  nuclear testing and uh elimination of uh
• 1:03:19
  of uh Raketi Redni dynasty rockets of uh
• 1:03:24
  intermediate and shorter ranges.
• 1:03:28
  >> That's that was my job. It was pretty
• 1:03:30
  fun.
• 1:03:31
  >> So I was trying to save the world way
• 1:03:33
  back in my youth and uh I didn't engage
• 1:03:35
  in any crime and it was even during the
• 1:03:37
  Gulf War. I never got sent there. What
• 1:03:39
  the hell use is a Russian interpreter
• 1:03:41
  over there? And so I didn't get any uh
• 1:03:44
  any uh um wartime, you know, even though
• 1:03:47
  I was in for one and two, but I I I got
• 1:03:50
  no wartime.
• 1:03:52
  And uh
• 1:03:52
  >> enough about you. Um do [laughter] you
• 1:03:54
  think
• 1:03:55
  >> enough about you?
• 1:03:56
  >> I haven't blown up any bridges in Iran
• 1:03:59
  either, so I'm doing well.
• 1:04:01
  >> I I said I said enough. Uh do you think
• 1:04:04
  that Ukraine is uh really winning if uh
• 1:04:06
  >> No. Hell no.
• 1:04:08
  >> I mean uh I mean I'm I'm sorry. Do do
• 1:04:11
  you think Russia is really winning if uh
• 1:04:13
  it was supposed to be a three-day
• 1:04:15
  >> um that's see that's a bunch of crap
• 1:04:17
  anyway and they had them on their knees
• 1:04:19
  in the first week and then gave up
• 1:04:22
  because of Bojo and they uh they they
• 1:04:25
  retreated in there and it was a massive
• 1:04:28
  massive push.
• 1:04:30
  >> Say what? He's playing.
• 1:04:33
  >> They had him all the way up through
• 1:04:34
  Seria and they had all the way they were
• 1:04:37
  almost to to Nippro Petrosk and and
• 1:04:40
  right outside of Kiev and then they
• 1:04:42
  said, "Look, we don't want that. All we
• 1:04:44
  want is Detsk, Lugansk, and now
• 1:04:47
  Zaparisia and Harkov because they all
• 1:04:50
  filed memorandum and took uh and they
• 1:04:52
  all took uh they had votes and they had
• 1:04:55
  referendums. They had a vote said they
• 1:04:58
  and they're 90% Russian anyway and they
• 1:05:01
  don't want they don't want to be
• 1:05:02
  Ukrainian and and they're not letting
• 1:05:04
  them be Russian. They were there was
• 1:05:07
  there's serious stuff about so Russia
• 1:05:09
  said we want these four territories and
• 1:05:12
  they actually had a had an agreement to
• 1:05:14
  go back to that in April of 2022. I
• 1:05:17
  don't I can't believe I got to repeat
• 1:05:18
  this. You know all this stuff.
• 1:05:22
  You know all that and you know that that
• 1:05:24
  that the Russians right at the during
• 1:05:26
  the six day or whatever it was discuss
• 1:05:29
  uh negotiation which they were going to
• 1:05:31
  accept they went they retreated back
• 1:05:34
  from all kinds of places. They pulled
• 1:05:36
  back during that time period. There's I
• 1:05:40
  mean go check it out. They did it
• 1:05:43
  and they pulled back.
• 1:05:44
  >> Check it out.
• 1:05:45
  >> Well do it. Go back. Go watch. There's
• 1:05:47
  several channels out there where you can
• 1:05:49
  watch in the first days of the Russian
• 1:05:52
  invasion, if you want to call it, what
• 1:05:54
  the West is calling it. You can go back
• 1:05:55
  and look at it, that they went much,
• 1:05:58
  much further than where the front line
• 1:06:00
  is right now. And all they wanted was to
• 1:06:03
  stop it. And Bojo and the Biden
• 1:06:06
  administration
• 1:06:08
  encouraged them to not go. We'll keep
• 1:06:10
  funding you. But they were capitulating
• 1:06:13
  in April of 2022. in two months they
• 1:06:17
  were capitulating and there were
• 1:06:19
  documents to prove it. You can go out
• 1:06:21
  and check it out and then they went and
• 1:06:23
  and since that time it's been a grind
• 1:06:26
  and uh it's a grind for territory and
• 1:06:30
  the Ukrainians have lost uh last
• 1:06:32
  estimates that I heard were at least 1.2
• 1:06:35
  2 million and nobody knows the Russians,
• 1:06:38
  but most um most of the uh experts in
• 1:06:43
  that like the Institute of War and
• 1:06:45
  places like that estimate the losses are
• 1:06:48
  at least
• 1:06:50
  well one to five which means Ukrainians
• 1:06:52
  lost five to every one of Russian and
• 1:06:56
  that so that puts the Russians somewhere
• 1:06:58
  in the neighborhood of two 300,000 and I
• 1:07:01
  bet it's higher than that myself. I
• 1:07:04
  imagine it's about it's got to be at
• 1:07:07
  least half of what the Ukrainians have
• 1:07:09
  lost. But that's me. But nobody gives
• 1:07:11
  those numbers. But the Ukrainians are
• 1:07:13
  losing massively.
• 1:07:17
  >> The things I say says uh 450,000
• 1:07:21
  Russians and 150,000 uh Ukrainians.
• 1:07:24
  >> Well, you I don't know who you that's
• 1:07:26
  that's State Department BS from America.
• 1:07:29
  And uh you can go check I mean
• 1:07:31
  >> America. Well, look, check out the
• 1:07:33
  Institute of War. Check out that one.
• 1:07:36
  And there's a couple other ones. And
• 1:07:37
  those are British. They're, you know,
• 1:07:40
  European. They're whatever. No, just so
• 1:07:43
  you don't think they're Russian is all
• 1:07:45
  I'm saying. But you can the the
• 1:07:47
  independent um arms that that usually
• 1:07:50
  study war. Don't take the American side.
• 1:07:52
  Don't take the Ukrainian side. Don't
• 1:07:54
  take the Russian side. Go find somebody
• 1:07:55
  else. The reasonable people are saying
• 1:07:58
  that the Russians have done six times
• 1:08:00
  the damage of killing and maming people
• 1:08:03
  than the Ukrainians have. I'm not for
• 1:08:05
  any of that, by the way, and I don't
• 1:08:07
  subscribe to any of those. But I know
• 1:08:09
  the Ukrainians are losing massively
• 1:08:11
  because every time there's a body
• 1:08:13
  exchange, they exchange many thousands
• 1:08:16
  by the Russians and 50 for the U for the
• 1:08:20
  Ukrainians. What are they doing? taking
• 1:08:23
  the bodies and churning them up if
• 1:08:24
  they're capturing and killing all these
• 1:08:26
  Russians. What are they doing? The
• 1:08:28
  Russians have a [ __ ] Oh, sorry, I
• 1:08:30
  shouldn't talk like that. free freezer
• 1:08:32
  trucks full of dead bodies
• 1:08:35
  and and that's they got freezer trucks
• 1:08:36
  and they're delivering them to Ukraine
• 1:08:39
  because and then Ukraine is refusing
• 1:08:41
  them because they don't want to pay the
• 1:08:44
  $300,000 ahead to the families because
• 1:08:48
  it takes away from their corrupt schemes
• 1:08:50
  to to scalp American and Western money
• 1:08:54
  and for their own oligarch purposes.
• 1:08:57
  That's the point of today's show. So,
• 1:08:59
  you want to talk about Iran? Call me
• 1:09:01
  tomorrow.
• 1:09:04
  >> Okay.
• 1:09:04
  >> All right. You have a good day.
• 1:09:06
  >> I do.
• 1:09:06
  >> Okay. Then I'll I'll I I'll give you my
• 1:09:09
  opinion tomorrow. And there he goes. But
• 1:09:12
  I was on Ukraine and Russia and the uh
• 1:09:14
  and the mafia in Ukraine. And I still
• 1:09:16
  got a little bit I want to do uh um
• 1:09:19
  uh on this topic because I want to talk
• 1:09:21
  about Sirki. And there's more mafia
• 1:09:23
  style stuff going on over there in this.
• 1:09:26
  You know what I'm gonna do though? Um,
• 1:09:28
  in order to uh close that out, I'll give
• 1:09:31
  you one final po point. Ukraine's new
• 1:09:34
  generation of technology leaders speaks
• 1:09:38
  very openly and pays rewards for any
• 1:09:41
  video that shows a Russian soldier being
• 1:09:44
  killed. They imagine this humiliates the
• 1:09:47
  Russian soldier. They do not understand
• 1:09:49
  that what they are showing is if a
• 1:09:51
  soldier faced with a choice of captivity
• 1:09:54
  or death, they choose death. and they
• 1:09:56
  have documented an extreme act of
• 1:09:58
  courage and determination. But the but
• 1:10:00
  the Ukrainians have no compassion.
• 1:10:03
  Fodrev, Budanov, Malyuk, Zalinski,
• 1:10:06
  Yermach, the entire structure has turned
• 1:10:09
  itself into a machinery of cruelty. I
• 1:10:11
  would say of the mafia and go a little
• 1:10:13
  further and the longer the west protects
• 1:10:16
  that machinery, the more convinced it
• 1:10:18
  becomes that it can act with no
• 1:10:20
  consequences. That is the lesson for
• 1:10:23
  Poland and the rest lesson for the rest
• 1:10:26
  of Europe. And according to Soliv, that
• 1:10:28
  is the issue Russia has to finally
• 1:10:31
  answer. Probably the most ultimate will
• 1:10:35
  is this. Ukraine will not accept
• 1:10:38
  ultimatums from anyone in the world. The
• 1:10:40
  last country attempted to present us
• 1:10:42
  with ultimatum was Russia. No offense to
• 1:10:44
  Poland, but Russia is more powerful than
• 1:10:47
  Poland. and Russia and we didn't accept
• 1:10:50
  Russian ultimatums either. Um that's uh
• 1:10:55
  pretty brutal uh for for what you are
• 1:10:58
  saying on that topic. I got to get to
• 1:11:01
  Mr. Searski. Where is he?
• 1:11:04
  Uh la
• 1:11:07
  give me one moment.
• 1:11:11
  Uh here we go. As of You know what?
• 1:11:14
  We're going to play another one another
• 1:11:16
  brief song. How do you think? What do
• 1:11:18
  you think about that? Where is it? Ah,
• 1:11:21
  yeah. I wanted to share with you from
• 1:11:23
  one of my favorite uh Russian movies is
• 1:11:26
  a song about rabbits and uh this is a
• 1:11:30
  good song, but it's in Russian and uh
• 1:11:32
  but I enjoy it. Hopefully, you'll enjoy
• 1:11:34
  it. He's up there dancing on a stage and
• 1:11:36
  it's a pesv.
• 1:11:40
  [music]
• 1:11:49
  Part of a movie.
• 1:12:00
  Fore! Foreign! Foreign!
• 1:12:33
  >> [music]
• 1:12:40
  [music]
• 1:13:02
  >> foreign.
• 1:13:24
  Three of
• 1:13:45
  >> [music]
• 1:13:56
  >> one of my favorite movies, too. And
• 1:13:59
  drunk guy up there. He's uh just It's a
• 1:14:02
  It's a funny show, too. It's very, very
• 1:14:03
  funny. And uh he's out there uh singing.
• 1:14:07
  uh he's drunk and and uh singing and uh
• 1:14:10
  moves up into the band and gives his own
• 1:14:13
  version of Anamo which is a pesita of a
• 1:14:17
  song about hairs, you know, big rabbit,
• 1:14:19
  not the small ones, but the big and uh
• 1:14:22
  so it's a good uh it's a good diversion,
• 1:14:25
  let's call it. But here's the diversion
• 1:14:27
  of the mafia uh going on and uh you
• 1:14:31
  know, showing itself inside of Ukraine.
• 1:14:34
  So there's been all kinds of talks all
• 1:14:36
  weekend. So they got rid of this Fodor
• 1:14:38
  of guy and uh where is this uh Fodorov
• 1:14:42
  dude there? They offered for him to come
• 1:14:45
  back, you know, they said, "Oh no, come
• 1:14:47
  back." And he's like, "Nah, I don't
• 1:14:48
  think so." And uh so
• 1:14:52
  because there's all kinds of protests,
• 1:14:54
  probably paid for [laughter] pro people
• 1:14:57
  protesting. They do it for a living, you
• 1:15:00
  know, that's what they do. And it
• 1:15:01
  doesn't cost much to get people to
• 1:15:03
  protest over there because you use
• 1:15:05
  dollars instead. So Zalinski is facing a
• 1:15:08
  deepening crisis over his military
• 1:15:09
  leadership on Monday after the defense
• 1:15:12
  minister whom he sacked refused to
• 1:15:14
  return. He turned down another offer
• 1:15:16
  coming of coming back. The Ukrainian
• 1:15:18
  people proposed over the weekend, I'm
• 1:15:21
  sorry, the Ukrainian president said over
• 1:15:22
  the weekend
• 1:15:24
  that he would bring back Mikall Fodovv
• 1:15:27
  with an expanded mandate according to
• 1:15:30
  people familiar with the matter after
• 1:15:32
  Fodorov's removal sparked this uproar
• 1:15:35
  everywhere in Ukraine. So a senior
• 1:15:37
  Ukrainian official and two other people
• 1:15:38
  said that Fodorov wanted only to return
• 1:15:40
  to the defense ministry, not anywhere
• 1:15:43
  else. Beyond the calls to bring back
• 1:15:45
  Fodorov, Zalinski is under pressure to
• 1:15:47
  appoint a younger generation of military
• 1:15:49
  leaders to pre replace Alexander Searski
• 1:15:53
  who clashed with Fodorov over how
• 1:15:55
  Ukraine should fight the war. See these
• 1:15:56
  younger generation, they want to fight
• 1:15:58
  the war by blowing up Wild Ber's plants.
• 1:16:01
  Okay, that's what they want. Sirki wants
• 1:16:03
  to win on the front line and he's not.
• 1:16:05
  And he just lost Constantinovka and now
• 1:16:09
  they're worried about many of the other
• 1:16:11
  places that are going on there. leaving
• 1:16:12
  Sirki in place. Not this is by um which
• 1:16:16
  which uh newspaper is this? Uh Financial
• 1:16:18
  Times, I forgot. Uh
• 1:16:22
  uh leaving Sirki in place now would mean
• 1:16:25
  not only ignoring the will of society
• 1:16:27
  but also demoralize the army. Dimmitri
• 1:16:30
  Kaz Kazin Kazinitzki a military veteran
• 1:16:34
  and organizer wrote on X and he
• 1:16:36
  threatened an indefinite post uh protest
• 1:16:38
  unless Sirki gets removed. This week,
• 1:16:41
  the general has to go. Protest in
• 1:16:43
  support of Fodorov and Keefe began on
• 1:16:45
  Thursday and have grown to 16 cities.
• 1:16:48
  Demonstrators have expanded their demand
• 1:16:50
  to argue that Ukraine needs to adopt a
• 1:16:52
  new approach to the war. That Fodorov's
• 1:16:55
  innovations innovations. Yes, let's blow
• 1:16:58
  up Wilder's plants. As the conflict with
• 1:17:00
  Russia enters the critical phase more
• 1:17:02
  than four years after it began, Zilinsky
• 1:17:05
  spent the past four days in meetings
• 1:17:07
  with military commanders and political
• 1:17:09
  advisers. not Searski trying to make
• 1:17:12
  sure that they weren't going to sack him
• 1:17:14
  or go with Searski, he can't have the
• 1:17:16
  military against him, too, is what's
• 1:17:18
  really going on. And if he gets rid of
• 1:17:20
  Sirki, who's popular with the the uh
• 1:17:22
  generals below him, then he's got the
• 1:17:25
  the problem that uh you know, nobody's
• 1:17:27
  going to follow the first one, and
• 1:17:28
  they're losing on the front lines. But
• 1:17:31
  remember now they believe that this is a
• 1:17:33
  war of uh
• 1:17:37
  of uh narratives and if you can blow up
• 1:17:40
  a a wild berries plant you know even if
• 1:17:42
  it does kill 89 civilians or whatever
• 1:17:44
  that number was that uh uh you know that
• 1:17:48
  is winning the war that is winning and
• 1:17:51
  uh you you know we can do that and
• 1:17:53
  that's fine cuz uh the new generation
• 1:17:55
  they only want to play video games and
• 1:17:57
  be underground in a bunker using uh
• 1:18:00
  weapons. that fly somewhere and they
• 1:18:01
  won't risk their own bodies ever, you
• 1:18:04
  know, nor do they want to. So, Russia
• 1:18:06
  has to find the drone facilities and
• 1:18:07
  bomb them and kill them. And the same
• 1:18:09
  thing has to go on the other direction.
• 1:18:11
  Uh but but Ukraine is losing on the
• 1:18:13
  front. There's no doubt. Uh so under the
• 1:18:16
  arrangement that was offered, Fodorov
• 1:18:19
  would oversee defense technology
• 1:18:20
  programs and efforts to scale production
• 1:18:23
  of long range weapons, which is what
• 1:18:25
  they want. They want long range. They
• 1:18:27
  want to keep blowing up Russia from
• 1:18:29
  afar, allowing him to continue pushing
• 1:18:31
  reform outside the defense ministry and
• 1:18:34
  military command. He would also have
• 1:18:36
  worked to attract foreign investment in
• 1:18:38
  Ukraine's defense industry, and FORV did
• 1:18:41
  not respond to requests for comment. Uh,
• 1:18:44
  president met Fiorodo for six hours over
• 1:18:47
  the weekend and has been in contact with
• 1:18:48
  him daily since he got rid of him on
• 1:18:50
  Thursday, according to people briefed on
• 1:18:52
  the matter. And Zilinsky offered him
• 1:18:54
  several alternative positions to his
• 1:18:56
  past defense minister role, but he
• 1:18:58
  declined all of them. He has a lot of
• 1:18:59
  leverage right now, said a person
• 1:19:01
  familiar with the discussions between
• 1:19:02
  Fodov and Zalinsky. He wants one thing
• 1:19:05
  to be restored as the minister of
• 1:19:07
  defense, and he knows most of society is
• 1:19:09
  on his side. The situation has
• 1:19:11
  compounded the related dilemma facing
• 1:19:13
  Zilinski over the future of Searski.
• 1:19:16
  Changing the leadership risk disrupting
• 1:19:18
  the entire institution central to
• 1:19:20
  Ukraine's defense amid Russia's
• 1:19:22
  escalating air strikes. They're
• 1:19:24
  destroying Ukraine inside. But resisting
• 1:19:26
  calls for change will further alienate
• 1:19:28
  the public with a long record of forcing
• 1:19:31
  its political leadership to reverse
• 1:19:32
  course through mass mobilization.
• 1:19:35
  Moreover, Sirki has been a close ally of
• 1:19:37
  Zilinski and his at times closely
• 1:19:39
  coordinated military plans according to
• 1:19:41
  the desire of the president Korsk
• 1:19:44
  region. Remember that farce? That was
• 1:19:46
  crap. We need to go up and take over the
• 1:19:49
  Korsk power plant because they took over
• 1:19:51
  his operation. That was idiocy. And they
• 1:19:53
  lost an estimated 75,000 soldiers during
• 1:19:56
  that stupidity. And the people with
• 1:19:58
  knowledge of the relationship so say
• 1:20:00
  that he and Zilinsky are pretty close.
• 1:20:02
  So, it's important to assess further
• 1:20:03
  strategy and how to force Russia to end
• 1:20:05
  the war with a worthy peace for Ukraine
• 1:20:07
  and guaranteed security, said Zilinski
• 1:20:10
  on Sunday, suggesting a change in the
• 1:20:12
  top may be imminent. Okay. Among
• 1:20:15
  militaries we met over the weekend,
• 1:20:17
  Mikail Dra uh Draatier, commander of the
• 1:20:22
  Joint Forces Ukraine, Vladimir Horbatuk,
• 1:20:25
  Deputy Chief of Staff, and Oleg Apostal,
• 1:20:29
  commander of the assault air forces. all
• 1:20:31
  are among contenders to take over the
• 1:20:34
  job of commander in chief from Searski
• 1:20:38
  and several senior Ukrainian officials
• 1:20:39
  and people close said there will appear
• 1:20:41
  to be growing momentum behind promoting
• 1:20:44
  younger officers whose careers were
• 1:20:46
  shaped by Russia's war rather than
• 1:20:49
  Soviet traditions
• 1:20:52
  supporters argue that these commanders
• 1:20:54
  are now turned attuned to new realities
• 1:20:57
  reshaping the war including the expans
• 1:21:00
  attention rapid of drone warfare,
• 1:21:05
  decentralized decisionmaking and the
• 1:21:07
  need for fast adaptations at the front.
• 1:21:09
  Western partners urged the president to
• 1:21:12
  settle this matter quickly. We are your
• 1:21:16
  financeier and we need stability, said a
• 1:21:19
  western supporter of Kiev. We need
• 1:21:22
  people to know and trust we can work
• 1:21:25
  with Ukraine.
• 1:21:28
  And you can't because the mafia runs
• 1:21:31
  Ukraine and you can't trust these
• 1:21:34
  a-holes. You can't do it. And so, uh,
• 1:21:37
  uh, there you have it. Um, let's see.
• 1:21:41
  And I think that's a I I I think it's a
• 1:21:45
  it's very interesting to follow all the
• 1:21:47
  drama going on over there, but nobody
• 1:21:50
  knows much about it. So, but as of this
• 1:21:52
  morning, Alexander Cerski has not been
• 1:21:55
  dismissed as commander-in-chief. There's
• 1:21:58
  no presidential decree or official
• 1:22:00
  Ukrainian announcement that removes him.
• 1:22:02
  And the Ukrainian general staff denies
• 1:22:04
  that immediate dismissal has been
• 1:22:06
  decided, but the pressure is very
• 1:22:07
  serious and enough that several reports
• 1:22:10
  have described him, including that one I
• 1:22:12
  just shared with you the most of from
• 1:22:14
  the Financial Times. And so the
• 1:22:16
  immediate crisis wasn't a battlefield
• 1:22:18
  defeat but Zilinsk's dismissal of
• 1:22:21
  Fodorov after a deep conflict between
• 1:22:24
  Fodorov and Sirki or his general staff.
• 1:22:27
  Fiodorov has become identified with
• 1:22:30
  drone warfare, fast weapon procurement.
• 1:22:33
  He's he's uh he's in bed with all the uh
• 1:22:36
  oligarchs and with all the western money
• 1:22:39
  train. And so Ukraine through Zilinski
• 1:22:42
  and the former people who are collecting
• 1:22:44
  all this wealth to themselves
• 1:22:47
  don't want this young kid coming in and
• 1:22:49
  taking it. And that's what's really
• 1:22:52
  going on is uh this young kid has made
• 1:22:55
  great strides with Western contacts in
• 1:22:59
  his own right. That's why he has so much
• 1:23:02
  power and can tell him, "No, I just want
• 1:23:03
  my defense minister spot back. you
• 1:23:05
  reappoint me or we'll continue these uh
• 1:23:08
  protests for weeks. Uh
• 1:23:12
  greater autonomy for field commanders is
• 1:23:14
  what they want. Technologydriven
• 1:23:16
  military reform, reducing the dependence
• 1:23:19
  on assault infantry and breaking what
• 1:23:23
  supporters call Soviet style
• 1:23:25
  bureaucracy. mafia.
• 1:23:28
  Sirki and traditional military uh
• 1:23:31
  reportedly resisted portions of that
• 1:23:34
  program that the defense minister wanted
• 1:23:36
  argued that drones cannot replace
• 1:23:39
  infantry artillery discipline command
• 1:23:42
  and conventional force structure. You
• 1:23:44
  can't get rid of the in conventionals
• 1:23:46
  force structure and fight only a drone
• 1:23:49
  and missile war. But apparently that's
• 1:23:51
  the way the world is going. You know
• 1:23:53
  that's all we're doing. And what what
• 1:23:55
  did what did he say on the phone
• 1:23:56
  earlier? Bridge and uh bridge and
• 1:24:00
  something day uh that they're all
• 1:24:02
  talking about in on on Fox News.
• 1:24:05
  Zalinski ultimately chose Sirki over FOD
• 1:24:10
  because of the of their loyalty of Sirki
• 1:24:14
  to Zalinski. So he acknowledged that the
• 1:24:18
  two sides had failed to achieve unity
• 1:24:20
  and he had to choose between them and
• 1:24:23
  there are public protests not only for
• 1:24:25
  Fodorov but against Sirki and it's all
• 1:24:28
  young people. Fiodorov's removal has
• 1:24:30
  several demonstrations in Kiev and now
• 1:24:33
  numerous other Ukrainian cities. They
• 1:24:35
  all say Sirki out. Sirki out demanded
• 1:24:39
  Fodorov's reinstatement. They accused
• 1:24:42
  Siri of obstructing military
• 1:24:44
  modernization. accused the general staff
• 1:24:46
  of promoting loyalty over competence and
• 1:24:50
  blame centralized command practice for
• 1:24:52
  unnecessary casualties. Reports describe
• 1:24:57
  thousands of participating over
• 1:25:00
  thousands of protesters participating
• 1:25:04
  over several days, which is an unusual
• 1:25:07
  public challenge to Zalinski during
• 1:25:09
  wartime. And some protesters have
• 1:25:12
  established a deadline for Fodder's
• 1:25:15
  return and they threaten expanded
• 1:25:17
  demonstration. And so this is more than
• 1:25:19
  just a personal dispute. It's a test of
• 1:25:22
  whether wartime Ukraine can tolerate a
• 1:25:25
  public revolt against military commander
• 1:25:27
  who is personally protected by Zalinski.
• 1:25:31
  Sirki denies that he regarded his
• 1:25:34
  relationship with Fodorov as a conflict.
• 1:25:37
  He described disagreements as normal
• 1:25:39
  institutional differences during a major
• 1:25:41
  war and said he was surprised to learn
• 1:25:43
  the relationship was being portrayed as
• 1:25:46
  a feud. That response is designed to
• 1:25:49
  distance him from Fodorov's dismissal,
• 1:25:52
  prevent himself as a professional
• 1:25:53
  soldier rather than a politician, avoid
• 1:25:57
  directly attacking Fodorov whose
• 1:25:59
  popularity
• 1:26:01
  exceeds his. [laughter]
• 1:26:03
  That's for sure. and keep Zalinsky from
• 1:26:06
  being forced into another humiliation
• 1:26:09
  and having to come up with a reversal
• 1:26:11
  narrative. His difficulty is that Fodor
• 1:26:14
  of supporters do not regard this as only
• 1:26:16
  a misunderstanding. They regard it as a
• 1:26:19
  contest between young technologydriven
• 1:26:23
  models and older command culture. They
• 1:26:27
  want to go with the young one. So why
• 1:26:29
  Searski is vulnerable? because his
• 1:26:31
  battlefield reputation has been
• 1:26:33
  associated with costly defensive
• 1:26:35
  battles. He lost Bahmut.
• 1:26:38
  Uh he centralized command,
• 1:26:40
  micromanagement,
• 1:26:42
  high personnel losses, uh continued
• 1:26:45
  reliance on infantry despite Ukraine's
• 1:26:48
  shortage in manpower. The nickname for
• 1:26:50
  him is sometime of his critics is some
• 1:26:53
  sometimes general 200 which reflects
• 1:26:57
  accusations that he tolerates excessive
• 1:26:59
  loss and the it explains uh the dispute
• 1:27:02
  over drone warfare and it's emotional
• 1:27:05
  why it's so emotionally uh driven
• 1:27:09
  because they want to use only drones.
• 1:27:11
  They don't want to they don't want
• 1:27:12
  people dying. They want to drone
• 1:27:14
  warfare. That's it. We fly drones into
• 1:27:16
  Russia. Russia flies drones into us.
• 1:27:19
  That's the war, you know, and you the
• 1:27:21
  manpower crisis is another soul sirki
• 1:27:24
  vulnerability.
• 1:27:26
  Only got a couple minutes left, so I'll
• 1:27:28
  talk about that. And the fact that
• 1:27:30
  Fodorov is a pretty big uh potential
• 1:27:33
  political rival. Now, who would be the
• 1:27:35
  possible replacements? Nobody really
• 1:27:37
  knows, but the name getting the most
• 1:27:39
  attention is Mkhyo Draati, the younger
• 1:27:42
  and comparatively respected Ukrainian
• 1:27:44
  commander, whose appeal would be that he
• 1:27:46
  represents generational change, preserve
• 1:27:50
  professional military leadership,
• 1:27:53
  reconcile portions of Fodorov's reform
• 1:27:55
  agenda with the conventional operations
• 1:27:58
  of Searski. He could reduce political
• 1:28:00
  pressure without immediately returning
• 1:28:01
  Fodorov to the defense ministry. And no
• 1:28:04
  replacement has been confirmed. and
• 1:28:06
  Zilinski is going to attempt another
• 1:28:08
  compromise rather than remove Cerski
• 1:28:10
  immediately. But Fiorodv rejects the
• 1:28:13
  compromise.
• 1:28:14
  So the strategic argument there are two
• 1:28:16
  models. Sirki's model which is
• 1:28:18
  infantrydriven artillery and organized
• 1:28:20
  formation. Drones supplement rather than
• 1:28:24
  replace conventional forces and central
• 1:28:27
  command is necessary. Fodovv says
• 1:28:29
  Ukraine doesn't possess Russia's
• 1:28:31
  manpower or industry. Ukraine has to
• 1:28:33
  fight asymmetrically. Drones should go
• 1:28:36
  first. Command should be decentralized.
• 1:28:40
  And rapid private center se sector
• 1:28:42
  innovations matter more than military
• 1:28:44
  bureaucracy. So long range strikes is
• 1:28:46
  what he's all for inside of Russia that
• 1:28:50
  can impose significant costs on Russia
• 1:28:53
  without Ukrainian troop losses. So that
• 1:28:56
  they're they're more into a long-term
• 1:28:58
  they want to drag on this you this uh
• 1:29:00
  warfare of blowing up civilians inside
• 1:29:03
  of Russia and and uh blowing up uh Wild
• 1:29:07
  Berries factories is the younger
• 1:29:10
  generation and and you know there's some
• 1:29:13
  naturally there'd be a lot of support
• 1:29:14
  for that because you can do it without
• 1:29:17
  dying and uh they don't want to go to
• 1:29:19
  the front and die. They don't want to
• 1:29:20
  fight. They want to play video games.
• 1:29:22
  These are video games and they can do
• 1:29:24
  it. Russians, you we can play video
• 1:29:26
  games, too. They say, right? Uh,
• 1:29:28
  everybody can sit around and play video
• 1:29:30
  games, but at some point you got to take
• 1:29:31
  the territory. And how you going to do
• 1:29:33
  it without an infantry, without any
• 1:29:35
  tanks? That's the argument. So, this is
• 1:29:38
  why the Wild Berries attacked matters
• 1:29:40
  because Fodor of supporters won an
• 1:29:42
  aggressive drone technology war. Sirki
• 1:29:44
  is accused of obstructing that. Fodorov
• 1:29:47
  has been dismissed. The protests demand
• 1:29:49
  that Sirki get removed and Fodorov gets
• 1:29:52
  put back. Ukraine conducts
