1:18
to listen to and I don't know.
1:23
I'm kind of on a roll today.
1:25
There's been some Lots of interesting shows that
1:29
I went out and looked at and and
1:32
watched Maduro's days are apparently numbered according to
1:38
a senior US Republican, maybe they're gonna off
1:42
him That's you know here We go regime
1:45
change in that Malay or Maloo or however
1:47
you say his name the guy down in
1:49
Argentina Oh gee that place isn't corrupt is
1:53
it?
1:54
That place hasn't sold out to America has
1:58
it Quite kind of funny Let's see, but
2:04
he did secure Argentina's new melee I forgot
2:08
him.
2:08
I can't remember how to say it.
2:09
I used to know but these days I
2:11
don't He has secured a crucial Midterm victory
2:17
all by sucking up to Donald Trump and
2:21
hopefully getting some money from the u.s.
2:24
And from the INF here I and I
2:27
M F Interesting stuff meanwhile meanwhile the EU
2:37
policies are going to force Slovakians to heat
2:42
with wood according to pizza The Italian courts
2:46
have approved extradition of the Nord Stream suspect
2:50
Yeah, the Ukrainian genius who single-handedly took
2:54
out Nord Stream to all by his lonesome
3:01
Why don't we have a look at that
3:03
just because I find it hilarious and then
3:07
a little bit of commentary about how the
3:11
US is allegedly going to Outgun China with
3:16
its massive shipbuilding industry that is all rust
3:20
and no steel But you know these things
3:24
happen, so yeah, I said there was an
3:26
interesting article Man, I'm rambling all over the
3:30
place already, but there's one.
3:31
I want to tell you about rare earths
3:33
and little little mr.
3:37
Quizzy From who's like a trade ambassador to
3:41
China or something he's over there begging about
3:44
how China is taking rare earths and trying
3:47
to corner the market in kind of a
3:50
aggressive maneuver against the u.s. So they're
3:52
over this is what Trumpster is going over
3:54
there for right and so I've got a
3:56
little bit of commentary on that Military in
4:01
Britain are starting to Have all kinds of
4:05
talks about nuclear sharing with Germany of all
4:09
people how do you like that?
4:11
So Germany's gonna be in the nuclear power
4:14
zone before too long Israel was very upset
4:21
you know Netanyahu himself There was a symbolic
4:26
protest in Turkey By video that showed Netanyahu
4:31
hung from a crane in Turkey an effigy
4:34
fake of course nothing real and that was
4:38
entertaining the Louvre heist was an inside job
4:41
apparently and Zelensky according to Poland is ready
4:46
for three more years of war So something
4:50
extremely interesting, and I can't decide if I'm
4:52
gonna play a chunk of it for you,
4:55
or just summarize it because it was an
5:00
I don't know a unique look at War
5:07
in Ukraine, especially during the winter, okay?
5:12
the I Want to get and I copied
5:15
it on my phone Let me see if
5:17
I can pull it up here, but I
5:18
don't have any glasses hold on So you
5:21
get to hear the whole thing from little
5:24
old Sammy right here Tune in tonight, and
5:30
I will tell you what the scoop is
5:34
So where is that photo that I took?
5:39
That's not it Let us see You know
5:46
I got a new phone because my phone
5:48
crashed and I was all depressed over it
5:53
and now It's Now it works of course
6:00
you go get a new phone, and then
6:02
the first one freaking works How irritating and
6:07
frustrating is that?
6:11
But I took a photo of it, and
6:13
now I can't find it So I guess
6:15
I'll have to go to the source so
6:17
anyway the long and the short of it
6:19
is this According to the military summary channel
6:26
That I listened to and I played a
6:27
little bit of a transcript from from it
6:30
last night from one of their shows, but
6:33
according to them the Russians are doing something
6:43
Pretty flippin harsh right now they are They
6:50
used to be rare if you got Call
6:55
it 150 drones a night okay, and What
7:03
they're saying now is that on any given
7:07
night the Russians are?
7:13
Sending out literally Six to eight hundred a
7:18
night Remember me last night saying that they
7:21
control the skies no doubt There's a guy
7:26
on telegram.
7:27
That's his his title is RV vayan quoru
7:34
and in vine court means military correspondent in
7:39
the roots of two words why not and
7:42
Correspondent vine core means of I any correspondent
7:46
a military correspondent, so this guy says he's
7:49
a military correspondent and What they say they
7:53
are doing and this is according to the
7:55
economist too But it's about the blackouts that
8:00
are coming and the theory is Sound when
8:06
you hear this you're gonna go wow that's
8:09
that's some Strategic thought provoking strategy for you
8:16
and Think about this.
8:19
They're taking massive massive airstrikes every single day
8:27
It against the power grid in Ukraine and
8:32
Russia is taking it out Ukraine has no
8:35
air defense left There are several stories today
8:38
about remember me telling you about Pokrovsk Where
8:43
else Yesterday well Pokrovsk mainly But there's some
8:46
other ones to the big cities the encirclements
8:48
of the of the ten thousand five hundred
8:51
the Ukrainians are saying The the senior leaders
8:55
are saying oh, they'll stay there And they'll
8:57
stay there and fight to the end meaning
8:58
they're just gonna die there because Russia's bombing
9:01
the crap out of them and they won't
9:03
surrender you know because You know if you
9:06
surrender then what then you get released from
9:09
surrender, you know You're you're tormented by the
9:13
Ukrainians themselves and thrown right back on the
9:15
front line or thrown in prison for surrendering
9:17
so Those those type of stories are out
9:21
there today the Massive airstrikes attacking the power
9:27
grid today.
9:28
They extended again used to be they were
9:31
gonna be a Month late like they normally
9:34
start in mid-october providing heat providing gas
9:38
Right because everything is gas heat used to
9:41
get it free from Russia and last year
9:44
they cut that off Remember the end of
9:45
the year.
9:46
Oh geez We'll just cut it off people
9:48
just keep giving it to Ukraine for free
9:50
right not so Ghost writer that is not
9:54
correct people aren't just handing it over for
9:57
free They got to pay for it and
9:59
now long now they aren't allowed to bring
10:02
to transport Russian gas Through Ukraine in the
10:07
biggest pipelines to get it all over Europe
10:10
nice and cheap instead They're bringing it in
10:13
from Russia or through Turk stream and it's
10:16
u.s Based liquid gas that is coming
10:19
from ships and being put in the pipes
10:22
and a double the price not double But
10:24
at a much higher cost than having it
10:27
come through Russia and even Russia through Turk
10:29
stream, too A lot of it is still
10:31
Russian gas, but it's coming up through the
10:32
other way and so they get a claim
10:34
It's not Russian gas.
10:35
It's Turkish gas because Turkey bought it from
10:37
Russia and this is how it works, right?
10:40
And so Ukraine used to have it come
10:43
through there and they could heat their entire
10:45
country for free on Russian gas just by
10:49
transporting it through the pipes that the Russians
10:51
built or the Soviets built during Soviet era
10:54
through where so they could supply the rest
10:58
of Eastern Europe, which they they did for
11:01
years and many years and through Ukraine and
11:05
Nope, nope.
11:07
No, we got to stop that because the
11:09
Russians are funding the war against us And
11:11
we'd rather pay double through America because this
11:14
is how you get bring Russia to its
11:16
knees So these massive airstrikes targeting the power
11:20
grids mean that everybody in Ukraine is without
11:23
heat So stay with me here and it's
11:25
gonna stay that way throughout the winter.
11:28
It's not gonna be good Okay, and so
11:31
these massive airstrikes the primary goal is to
11:34
disrupt industry But even more importantly and this
11:39
is the important Discussion that people have been
11:43
having about this Extremely interesting what they are
11:48
saying is that they're doing this to provoke
11:54
mass migration and panic what they're trying to
11:59
do is to get everyone to leave the
12:03
eastern parts of Ukraine For the western parts
12:10
of Ukraine, how do you like that and
12:13
so if we can Get them to Leave
12:21
the eastern part of Ukraine.
12:23
So here's Russia bomb all of the electric
12:28
sources bomb all of the gas sources bomb
12:32
all of the water sources anything that is
12:35
a Utility get rid of it and they've
12:37
been bombing the crap out of it And
12:39
so now people are saying well when they
12:42
do that, what's gonna happen is it's gonna
12:44
create panic it's going to disrupt industry and
12:50
You know this now, why is it all
12:53
of a sudden?
12:55
Not clear.
12:56
There we go.
12:57
Let's put it there son of a nutcracker
13:01
Did I say that I didn't mean to
13:03
I shouldn't talk like that So Russian capabilities
13:07
and tactics are developing faster than the Ukrainian
13:11
air defenses which are Negligible.
13:13
Anyway, they keep losing it and so during
13:16
the fighting the Russian drones are getting faster
13:19
and more accurate and the Geron drones have
13:22
tripled in speed and now use a I
13:25
so a year ago 150 drones per night
13:30
was considered a serious attack Now Ukraine often
13:35
faces six or seven hundred drone attacks every
13:39
single night and they're using air defenses every
13:43
single night to protect every target is an
13:47
impossible task Russia is disabling the power grid
13:52
in eastern Ukraine To cut off power to
13:56
industrial facilities concentrated there The Ukraine power grid
14:01
relies on approximately 90 critical substations and Russia
14:07
is shutting them down one by one according
14:11
to this vine core RV vine core and
14:15
that's on telegram and Wow it and it
14:20
appears to be I mean every day you
14:22
hear about these things every day you hear
14:25
about these attacks in strategically It's a good
14:28
strategy, okay, it's a it's a hell of
14:31
a strategy and Russia is is pushing forward
14:34
on the front lines they are are going
14:40
forward Pretty quickly they have the two surroundings
14:46
in Kupyansk, I believe it was and in
14:49
Pokrovsk two big cities pretty pretty good-sized
14:53
industrial based cities At least previously no and
14:57
they're trying not to bomb the crap out
14:59
of them so they can still maintain some
15:01
of that cities when they take them over
15:03
and And it will happen And it's absolutely
15:09
gonna happen and it's so it's depressing for
15:13
the Ukrainians, but a reality But the argument
15:17
is that this creates migration Huge migration if
15:23
they take out all of the Power sources
15:27
the 90 substations, and they're doing it one
15:30
by one.
15:31
They're taking them out, and they're just Forcing
15:34
people to live with no heat and no
15:37
electricity, and it's getting cold cold cold cold
15:41
Over there and and what's it causing it's
15:45
causing people to head west So they're flooding
15:48
cities like Kiev they're flooding cities like Lvov
15:52
they're headed to the west They're migrating to
15:55
other parts of Europe.
15:56
They're leaving and They're getting paid to do
16:00
so because all of these Liberal countries have
16:02
all kinds of freebies that if you can
16:05
get across the border you can get your
16:07
basic salary or basic Needs paid for plus
16:11
a house plus everything for like six eight
16:14
months And then what do you do you
16:16
don't like it in Austria?
16:17
Where you getting all the freebies and all
16:19
your freebies have run out you go to
16:21
Germany and start all over again And after
16:23
you leave Germany you go to Poland after
16:25
you leave Poland Lithuania and you just keep
16:28
on bouncing around to other countries and getting
16:32
your freebies And you never have to go
16:34
back to Ukraine so a lot of these
16:35
people are not working And it's a massive
16:37
complaint for a lot of people all over
16:41
like in like in Germany Well, it's the
16:44
same complaint in Florida And I heard quite
16:46
a few people talking about it because there's
16:49
huge Populations in Miami area and in the
16:52
western, Florida area where they are coming and
16:55
they are getting free You know the u4u
16:59
program is giving these families three or four
17:02
months of free money Food stamps all of
17:06
the above and they're getting it like Social
17:09
Security money that they get Immediately all they
17:13
got to do is get to the country
17:14
and they apply for it, and they get
17:16
it There's an exemption because it's you for
17:18
you They're refugees and but they never gave
17:20
it to refugees in the past except in
17:22
extreme circumstances This one everybody gets it, and
17:25
I just think it's wrong.
17:28
I'm not against helping people Don't I don't
17:30
want that to be you know taken that
17:32
way But a lot of these people are
17:35
able-bodied Able to work young men young
17:39
women they come over here and immediately get
17:41
set up with food stamps free phone you
17:43
know cash in their pocket and They don't
17:46
have to work free place to live or
17:48
a sponsor that is getting money from the
17:51
government to provide them a place to live
17:53
and You know it is true.
17:55
You know you could not like it, and
17:58
you can dispute that Oh gee it's different
18:00
rules everywhere because it is Remember federal funds
18:03
are distributed to the states and the states
18:05
pass them out in ways that they see
18:07
fit But the program is overseen Federally so
18:11
they get the money, but some states.
18:13
It's easier to get more so you'll see
18:15
concentrations of people getting the freebies go to
18:18
places where it's easier to get the money
18:20
and that is absolutely true and So what
18:25
is going on to?
18:28
Encourage this right now the Russians are basically
18:31
trying to empty the eastern half of Ukraine
18:35
now get this if they knock out and
18:38
they're doing a pretty good job of it
18:39
because air defenses are falling apart in Ukraine
18:45
and they're able to the Russians are able
18:47
to take out all these substations and the
18:50
government of Ukraine announced today That now the
18:56
heat which was gonna be on is usually
18:58
on mid-october Okay, so in the army
19:01
when I served in the army in the
19:02
United States is so stupid But this is
19:04
how they did it so every year whether
19:07
you needed it or not the AC kicked
19:10
on on May 1st You know it could
19:12
still be 10 degrees outside, but it's May
19:15
1st Time for that AC to kick on
19:18
Kick on the AC October 1st, oh geez
19:22
better turn on the heat.
19:23
It's cold.
19:24
It couldn't but wouldn't matter if it's a
19:25
hundred degrees the heat's cool And you couldn't
19:29
do anything about it to control It was
19:31
like a general order or nobody could touch
19:33
it, or it was just automatic in government
19:36
places It this is what happened, and it
19:39
was so frustrating.
19:40
You know you'd be in military housing military
19:43
barracks and friggin 95 degrees Because the weather
19:47
outside is is a hundred and it's 95
19:50
in there, but it happens to be October
19:53
and the heat's on You can't do crap
19:56
about it well Same thing goes in the
19:59
in countries like Ukraine and in Ukraine the
20:03
the heat usually kicks on You know they
20:07
pick a time, but usually it's the first
20:09
part half of October Well now they've said
20:12
the heat is not going to kick on
20:15
in Ukraine now get this if you're in
20:17
the eastern half of Ukraine and you have
20:19
no electricity So you can't see Past a
20:23
certain hour because days you know the Sun
20:25
goes down or what the same as it
20:27
does here Early in the early in the
20:29
day although.
20:30
They don't do daylight savings over there I
20:32
don't think in Ukraine.
20:33
They don't in Russia, but and I don't
20:35
think Ukraine does either, but but they Have
20:39
the lights go off no power which means
20:45
no space heater and then There's no gas
20:50
heat either and so you freeze in your
20:54
your testicles off all Night long well all
20:59
day all day to depending on the weather
21:01
and the weather is not cool.
21:02
I mean not Well, it's extremely cool the
21:06
weather is not warm this time of year
21:09
I wonder if the computer could tell us
21:12
what is the Average daily 10 per
21:21
sure in Ukraine in October let us see
21:31
so let's see it is 54 degrees during
21:36
the day and 39 degrees at night with
21:41
nine days of rain on average and those
21:45
nine days Is about 42 millimeters 1.65
21:52
inches so that is October.
21:56
It's cold okay, it's 54 degrees is the
22:01
high 39 is the low during the day
22:05
and this is not good and Why don't
22:09
we take just because I want to and
22:12
change that to?
22:15
To November and see what it is here
22:18
it daily temperatures go down and the high
22:24
is 46 and the lows of 35 and
22:27
It rarely goes below 24 though But it
22:31
doesn't exceed very often 56 well let's so
22:37
if you can go 24 to 56 you
22:40
know looks like you're wearing a lot of
22:43
warm clothes And how many blankets you think
22:48
you need for that I want it 75
22:51
degrees in the house, and I still need
22:53
four freaking blankets of course I might have
22:56
problems, but You never know Let's see how
23:01
let's look now.
23:02
We're gonna move on to December just because
23:04
I want to and the average is oh
23:10
My god, here's the average in December when
23:14
they're finally gonna turn the heat on The
23:18
average temperature is point three Celsius, which is
23:22
32 and a half degrees Fahrenheit Just a
23:26
tiny bit above freezing during the day And
23:33
during the night, it's down to negative four
23:36
point one Celsius or 24.6 degrees Fahrenheit
23:41
at night and so that is the sad
23:47
fact that You know you're not gonna get
23:51
any Any heat turned on so when they
23:54
finally get to turn on the heat you
23:56
wonder if there is going to be any
24:00
um Regulation of how warm you can have
24:06
it to Row I don't know regulate to
24:12
conserve the gas To keep the heat on
24:16
or if it's gonna be you know Well
24:19
at least now we get to turn it
24:20
on everything goes back to normal or you
24:23
can have it on for two hours a
24:25
day Yes it there are you gonna cook
24:28
your food with no gas so the heat
24:30
isn't on but maybe you can have the
24:32
gas on Does this mean people are gonna
24:33
leave their stoves on all day?
24:36
You know it to try to keep it
24:39
warm in their apartments I don't know, but
24:42
I understand there's gonna be people trying to
24:44
get around it But so some people so
24:47
when I was over there And you check
24:49
this out some people because of the fact
24:52
that these are Common heat systems, so they
24:57
have these huge boilers in the basements of
24:59
apartment buildings and stuff like that And the
25:02
gas heat goes through because gas is the
25:05
most Conservative what do you call it it
25:09
conserves?
25:10
Energy the best and and it's the best
25:13
way to heat and it goes through They
25:16
still have a lot of those fin sort
25:18
of radiator types all through the house and
25:21
the water you get the water the same
25:23
way and Different boilers, I believe but I'm
25:27
pretty sure because the hot water still works,
25:30
right?
25:31
But you can't turn on the heat and
25:34
these fins are where they all go through
25:36
and you can get You can get the
25:38
heat from there so some people what they
25:41
have doing especially if they are air B
25:43
&B and air B&B in their residences
25:47
to foreigners they will put in Air conditioners,
25:54
they will put in separate heat that has
25:57
separate like those Little split mini sorts of
26:02
things but split minis aren't going to work
26:04
without power You need power So if you
26:08
now if you so if you even have
26:10
tried to avoid this By paying on your
26:13
own and not using the government version so
26:16
you have to pay your share So basically
26:18
the boiler is put on by the entire
26:21
building and then you have to pay your
26:23
share I forget what they call it come
26:25
on now on the communal Costs, I believe
26:28
I believe is what they call it that
26:30
they you have to pay some of these
26:34
fees, right and everybody in the every unit
26:38
in the apartment complex splits it, you know,
26:42
so each person pays whatever they pay per
26:44
month, but You don't not pay because you've
26:49
decided to put in your own split mini
26:51
heat or a seat you still got to
26:54
pay the communal and then you pay for
26:56
your own as well and so Anyway, I
27:01
don't know.
27:02
I'm babbling about it.
27:03
But the fact is the weather being as
27:05
cold as it is and nobody getting any
27:08
heat until mid-december according to what is
27:11
being pumped out is really Bad news for
27:16
Ukraine and it does make sense to me
27:19
that they're going to push Migration to The
27:26
West and these people are going to End
27:31
up heading to the West which means the
27:35
supply of the front lines of Kiev Aren't
27:41
going They're also gonna fail because if Russia
27:45
takes out the industry capabilities in the East
27:49
Everybody's gone West, you know, they're not gonna
27:53
stick around and wait for this And so
27:55
I think I don't want to say we're
27:58
near the end.
27:58
I don't think so But it's not getting
28:01
any easier.
28:02
What did that?
28:02
What was who is the the genius saying?
28:05
Oh the guy from Poland saying that oh,
28:08
geez lens keys ready for three more years
28:11
oh, here he is here, here's the The
28:15
Polish Prime Minister, you know, what a nutjob
28:17
Donald Tusk, right?
28:20
Zelensky expects Ukraine to be able to fight
28:23
Russia for up to three more years Yeah,
28:26
cuz he don't want to give up office
28:27
for at least that long And if he
28:30
could keep the war going three years more
28:32
he can siphon off a lot more money
28:34
for himself, right?
28:36
He's somebody said I read an article that
28:39
said he was putting away five million some
28:42
some some amount of I forget agree if
28:46
I forget the the The currency good evening.
28:50
I can't remember the word But that that
28:52
he's been putting away a huge amount of
28:54
these monthly in foreign bank accounts for himself
28:57
That are that are fading out, you know
28:59
tons of money.
29:00
But anyway, he expects to fight for three
29:03
more years Stay in office that whole time
29:07
Elections who needs him?
29:09
Nobody Polish Prime Minister Tusk told the Times
29:12
this on Sunday the Ukrainian leaders reported remark
29:18
Comes as the EU is looking for ways
29:20
to fund Kiev eyeing Russia's frozen central bank
29:25
assets as an option in an interview with
29:28
the British newspaper Saturday Tusk quoted Zelensky is
29:33
saying that he hopes that the war will
29:36
not last ten years But that Ukraine is
29:40
ready to fight for another two or three
29:43
years should the conflict with Russia drag on
29:46
longer Zelensky is anxious about the toll the
29:50
war would take on its population and economy
29:54
on Tuesday The Spanish newspaper El Pais reported
29:58
that Ukraine has serious financial problems.
30:02
Gee, there's a surprise citing anonymous EU sources
30:06
Kiev only has enough money to stay afloat
30:10
until the end of the first quarter of
30:12
2026 on Wednesday the Ukrainian Parliament passed a
30:17
draft budget For 2026 which runs a deficit
30:22
of over 58 percent sounds like America in
30:26
recent weeks EU leaders have intensified discussion over
30:30
a so-called Reparations loan using Russian money
30:35
of up to a hundred and forty billion
30:38
163 billion that's euro 163 billion dollars and
30:43
the frozen Russian assets could be collateral I
30:46
told you all about that the other day
30:48
and The block has tapped into these reserved
30:51
reserves a few times already Russia calls it
30:54
theft, but there you go.
30:59
These people are loonies So Brazil's Lula was
31:07
meeting with Trump here and he said The
31:13
This Lula da Silva said that the time
31:17
is right To end the Ukraine conflict and
31:20
he argues that the fighting between Moscow and
31:23
Kiev has reached its get this point of
31:27
maturity He called on world powers to support
31:31
renewed peace efforts He made these remarks in
31:35
Kuala Lumpur After meeting with Donald Trump on
31:40
the sidelines of the ASEAN summit The war
31:43
is at a point of maturity because you
31:45
see it's already been three years Trump and
31:49
Putin already know what they want so everybody
31:52
in the world knows this war has nothing
31:55
to do with Ukraine and Lula who has
31:59
long advocated for peace and insisted that Western
32:01
weapon supplies to Kiev only Fuel the conflict
32:06
gee wonder who told you that before Well
32:09
Lula and me added that he had not
32:12
yet shared his views with Trump But he
32:14
believes the global powers are able to bring
32:17
the fighting to an end what is missing
32:20
he said is putting this to a Negotiating
32:23
table and I think we're getting to the
32:26
point of ending this war now the difference,
32:30
of course is between a lasting settlement or
32:33
just a ceasefire to allow Ukraine to regroup
32:38
rearm and start all over again and Now
32:44
Trump has changed his tune over the last
32:46
month or so saying now he wants an
32:49
immediate halt to hostilities along the current front
32:52
lines and Leave it the way it is
32:54
right now and negotiate something later on But
32:59
Dmitry Peskov Kremlin Kremlin spokesperson said Russia values
33:03
Trump's efforts to settle the conflict But believes
33:07
there is no quick fix.
33:08
He says the peace talks remain on hold
33:11
as given its European backers show zero interest
33:15
in resuming talks I Happen to agree with
33:19
that assessment.
33:20
It's very nice So, let's see I Already
33:27
told you all about the gas math, but
33:30
I don't think I filled you in when
33:32
they were the heating timing The ministries deny
33:37
a national deferral on the heating period They
33:41
say it refers to a gas price window
33:45
not Radiators, but the evolve openly delayed heat
33:49
for weeks the signal to civilians prepare alternatives
33:55
friends and neighbors Output has been hit Imports
34:00
are up Neftogaz that's pulled a three hundred
34:05
million dollar loan for winter gas Analysts are
34:13
warning they need more imports and you know
34:17
that Russia keeps bombing the crap out of
34:19
them.
34:19
So Moscow is hitting this military industrial nodes
34:25
and power for rail not civilian and They're
34:29
taking away all the gas without a ceasefire
34:32
winter is the weapon and You know what?
34:37
Unlike missiles, especially as cold as it is
34:40
in Ukraine Cold is the ammunition.
34:44
So I Don't know have you heard about
34:47
this that happened yesterday on the USS Nimitz
34:53
Accident signal or just bad fuel We don't
34:58
know the answer to this question, but on
35:01
October 26 an MH-60 are went down
35:07
at 4 4 2 45 local time an
35:15
fa 18 at 315 Both operating with the
35:22
Nimitz in the South China Sea all five
35:27
Military guys on the on both of These
35:32
ones a helicopter ones a plane were recovered
35:35
in stable condition and the cause is under
35:40
investigation the Navy's statement You know Just was
35:47
a straight Navy the business insider added the
35:50
squadron and said it was on the Nimitz,
35:52
right?
35:53
and the POTUS suggests Bad fuel China meanwhile
35:59
is offering Humanitarian assistance.
36:02
I think that's kind of a stick in
36:04
the eye.
36:04
Don't you think?
36:05
And in diplomatic reading is well, we're reasonable
36:09
and Reminding everyone else who's who's see this
36:15
really is You know, it's not the US's
36:19
see over there and why this matters Two
36:25
Mishaps do not alter force ratios, but they
36:28
do steal bandwidth cable time attention and a
36:35
day of America looks sloppy Cheap propaganda for
36:41
Beijing, don't you think?
36:45
They're there, you know the Global Times is
36:49
saying, you know For us Chinese, this is
36:55
just routine operations They're close to us and
37:00
we get to smile says China while offering
37:03
help Yeah, buddy and trust me they're gonna
37:07
play it all over Eastern TV that the
37:12
u.s. Has had this military mishap twice
37:15
in a day And it's not looking good
37:18
for them.
37:19
So Operationally a concern probably not it's probably
37:23
a maintenance or a human factor it's probably
37:27
not gas like Trump trying to claim it
37:30
is but politically it's a gift to China
37:34
to Russia on a day.
37:36
You don't need this sort of gift.
37:39
Do you?
37:42
Why does the Tomahawk missile keep coming back
37:47
into discussion if it has surfaced OG yet
37:53
again yet again So Washington has not transferred
38:00
any Tomahawks Kiv's line is Not yet.
38:05
They haven't but we're still waiting The reason
38:09
it matters isn't the range its target ability
38:13
and volume the minute Tomahawks are You know
38:18
green lit the given the okay by the
38:20
old trumpster Moscow will escalate preemptive strikes on
38:26
logistics, in fact, you're already seeing it because
38:32
Storm shadows What's the other one I forget
38:38
what they're called storm shadows are are being
38:41
out sent out and targeted using Other NATO
38:47
data This is not good and it looks
38:52
like they're allowing these missiles to go Putin
38:55
said something about you know, let's see what
38:58
happens if you use one that has a
39:00
2,500 to 3,000 kilometer range into
39:06
Into Russia.
39:07
He goes watch what we do to your
39:09
infrastructure then because it'll be a massive strike
39:12
and He's saying don't test me on this
39:16
is basically what he is saying I watched
39:20
Soloveyov My three hour political junkie show and
39:28
They you know, he's always on, you know
39:31
performance.
39:32
He's always Well, he's pretty yippy.
39:36
Let's put it out that way in him,
39:38
but funny I like listening to him and
39:40
you know, you got to take it with
39:41
a grain of salt because he is a
39:42
political a Political highly on the side of
39:46
Russia and the Kremlin and all of that
39:49
a huge Putin supporter and maybe Maybe probably
39:56
most likely extremely anti-west and definitely anti
40:02
Ukraine and so he says Russia has asymmetric
40:07
counters like the Burevestnik which we talked about
40:11
last night That it was, you know tested
40:15
in Trump, but it is unique you can
40:18
hear him Talking about you know, and and
40:21
a lot of Russia is doing this and
40:23
saying well, you know, good luck to you
40:26
we got you and they're in you can't
40:28
defend against this and So the West of
40:32
course is always yeah, right.
40:33
We'll see but they haven't anything else We
40:36
already talked about frozen assets and who's gonna
40:39
pay them and a hundred and forty billion
40:41
dollar theft if it occurs and We shall
40:45
see So there was an interesting public opinion
40:50
poll in Ukraine another one in Russia and
40:55
a third in the United States, right?
41:00
In Ukraine this survey That they conducted 69
41:07
% of the population want negotiations Quote as
41:17
soon as possible close quote while 24%
41:22
would prefer to fight for fight all the
41:27
way to victory This is Gallup with numbers
41:30
taken in July of this year Guarantee you
41:34
those numbers are lower now 77% of
41:41
the people Queried supported exploring a 30-day
41:47
ceasefire pair those with Kiev's mayor's Winter warnings
41:53
that I've been telling you about and you
41:56
have a public mood that is prime for
42:00
a conditional pause At least you know Get
42:08
you know get rid of this, you know
42:09
end this but most people don't I mean
42:13
so far they and they didn't give a
42:15
number but they said People would would happen
42:19
be happy for a conditional pause but not
42:21
surrender, but they didn't give numbers weird Why
42:25
do the survey if you don't ask that
42:27
question you ask all these other questions, but
42:29
you leave out the question about surrender You
42:33
know, do you want to fight to the
42:34
end or you want negotiations?
42:36
I wonder if there was a percentage of
42:38
people who would who you said, you know,
42:41
what about the option of surrender?
42:43
You know, I suppose it'd be a hard
42:45
sell but or maybe not surrender maybe give
42:49
up what we've already lost You know that
42:51
negotiation as soon as possible.
42:54
I get that but you're not getting those
42:56
parts back you know those they're gone and
42:59
If you're not careful with Russia bombing the
43:02
crap out of your eastern area and people
43:04
migrating West as fast as their little Ukrainian
43:08
legs will carry them It's possible.
43:11
You're gonna lose what I said at the
43:14
very beginning of this conflict.
43:15
Well, not the beginning at the beginning of
43:18
the Russian enforcement of the conflict back in
43:22
2022 or More participation in there instead of
43:28
just arming rebels and they had these Referendums
43:34
I said that it would be reasonable for
43:37
Russia to take all the way up to
43:38
the Dnepr River because they're historic Russian populations
43:42
and Land and if they're not careful, that's
43:45
exactly what's going to happen.
43:47
There was more articles today about Odessa falling
43:51
And Odessa being targeted Not good So, what
43:57
does Russia say their polls Nevada referenced right
44:01
up talks about negotiations Western aggregations put that
44:08
at 66% but the caveat is Russian
44:12
polling on the war is messy and underreported
44:17
meaning people won't talk about it and You
44:21
know, they don't want to you don't give
44:23
your public opinion in in Russia as freely
44:27
as you do in other places now Ukraine
44:31
too, but Ukrainians are losing and so they're
44:35
far more likely to to Want out of
44:40
this?
44:41
I'm not saying those numbers.
44:42
I think the numbers are actually low 24
44:46
% wanting to fight to victory.
44:48
I don't think so.
44:50
Not anymore.
44:51
Those numbers were in July We're four months
44:55
past that aren't we?
44:57
Yeah, almost and so there you have it.
45:01
What does the USA a CBS you gov
45:04
sample now, this was way back in March
45:07
though, but a majority very slim Supporting Ukraine
45:12
with a sizable block back then Wanting negotiation.
45:17
I wonder when a pop when a poll
45:20
has been you know late We need a
45:24
poll.
45:24
I'd like to see one.
45:25
So the This the split maps to voter
45:29
fatigue, you know, not isolationism where we're just
45:33
tired of this well, I've been tired of
45:35
it since the beginning because we're the ones
45:37
who You know, what do you call it
45:40
armed Ukraine?
45:42
We're the ones who NATO the hell out
45:45
of them.
45:45
We're the ones who Forced them into a
45:49
no-win position So not good Did you
45:57
hear about There's a dirt during that same
46:01
bit the NATO messaging under Ruta We got
46:05
the guy who came to visit Trump last
46:07
week, he said there's a five-year threat
46:11
horizon and he wants everybody to step up
46:15
and prepare for war with Russia and You
46:19
know give us more money Basically, they're they're
46:22
NATO's also, you know Hey tighten your belts
46:25
hell if hell if your grandma needs food
46:28
or your uncle tighten your belts We got
46:30
a fund Ukraine We need people join the
46:34
army to fight the big bad bear in
46:37
the east So so give it up.
46:40
Give us the money.
46:41
It's nonsense Let's see the 19th EU Sanctions
46:47
package.
46:48
How does this work?
46:50
once again shadow fleet insurance flag games and
46:55
Enforcement will push more barrels on to pricier
46:58
routes.
46:59
So guess what?
47:00
That's gonna do boomerang into even more EU
47:05
inflation Isn't that nuts?
47:09
there was an enormous on top of this
47:12
in Hungary a There were people everywhere you
47:17
should get online go to YouTube look up
47:22
Budapest Protests in the lat over the weekend
47:27
over the past weekend and check it out
47:30
the signs were Don't die for Ukraine everybody
47:35
on the street.
47:36
They're pissed off because they're trying to Terminate
47:41
contracts for Russian cheap gas into Hungary and
47:45
that'll you know cost them more on the
47:47
pocketbook that You know Ukrainians are beaten up
47:52
on Hungarians over there.
47:53
They're not allowed to speak Hungarian in them
47:55
in Ukraine either and this this was a
48:00
pretty large March and You know Hungary has
48:07
been a holdout Against keeping, you know, they
48:12
say they'll never support Ukraine in the EU
48:17
Nor will they support?
48:19
Moldova who is also out there both of
48:22
them are trying to get in and in
48:23
the one saying no We don't want them
48:26
and not the only one but one of
48:27
the most vocal is hungry And so, you
48:31
know, they're the ones and they're trying to
48:34
create new rules to go around hungry and
48:37
allow them in anyway Pretty pretty sad stuff,
48:42
huh?
48:43
crazy crazy What else do we have from
48:47
this pile?
48:48
pile of news here so much out there
48:55
What else was from Solovey of today that
48:58
was pretty entertaining Frontline soldiers Remember me telling
49:07
you that it that it's a lot of
49:09
this is now it's either drone or Infantry,
49:14
I saw an article today about the Russians
49:18
in creating an invisibility suit.
49:21
I Don't know enough about it, but they
49:24
showed on this video heat signatures, so so
49:28
heat signature Imagine flying up your drone and
49:33
the Russians are doing to Ukrainians all the
49:35
time and you fly up your drone Doesn't
49:38
matter where they're hiding.
49:40
They could be hiding in very well established
49:42
cover under trees under whatever But their heat
49:47
signature will show up and so you see
49:50
their body just as you know clear as
49:53
day in a heat signature underneath the tree
49:56
and So you can't hide pine tree dark
49:59
isn't covering anything Because your heat signature is
50:02
there and the drone comes in ones up
50:05
there with the heat signature stuff And then
50:07
the other ones are targeting and telling it
50:09
where to go Where the other drones ago
50:11
and they go and they blow them up
50:12
and they kill them all Well the Ukrainians
50:15
have similar technology to come after the Russians
50:18
well the Russians have been showing on Telegram
50:21
and on YouTube and on stuff like this
50:23
that there is an invisibility suit that they
50:27
can put on to Mask to hide to
50:33
cover their heat signature Now I assume that
50:39
when and I don't know I didn't didn't
50:40
read too much further into it I would
50:43
assume that that would be more like a
50:48
Some sort of cold suit wouldn't it wouldn't
50:51
there have to be something that would so
50:53
if it's a heat shield You'd have to
50:56
shield the source of heat Behind something so
51:00
what do they got a cold suit?
51:03
I Don't know I'm not quite sure how
51:06
it works Maybe somebody understands technology a little
51:09
better than I did that or send me
51:13
an email about but the front-line soldiers
51:18
on both sides are talking about war of
51:21
small teams and cheap lethal weapons drones because
51:29
everybody's got them and Everybody is firing them
51:33
off all of them have night vision or
51:37
heat tracing or something else So night duty
51:41
is a constant Drone interceptions are commonplace and
51:47
kills in patrol zones You know they're saying
51:51
it's like a cemetery people are getting blown
51:54
up So they get in their car, and
51:57
they air their vehicle and the vehicle is
52:00
being chased by a drone What you'll see
52:02
in these videos all over telegram some of
52:05
them on YouTube but all over telegram is
52:08
you'll see these drone attacks chasing a Vehicle
52:13
and there will be people in the back
52:15
of the vehicle Like riding in the bed
52:19
of the truck or whatever and there will
52:21
be other people in the video and they'll
52:24
be trying to shoot down the drone with
52:26
their rifles or whatever and then They'll all
52:29
bail out jump out of the truck and
52:32
leave the truck to go so the truck
52:35
gets blown up and then Individual drones come
52:38
in and hunt down the the crew that's
52:41
running away.
52:41
It's really sad to watch but it's out
52:44
there, and it's all over telegram and You
52:48
can see it now.
52:49
It's admittedly.
52:50
It's on both sides, but it's it's It's
52:53
much more in Russia's favor So it's happening
52:57
in night duty.
52:58
It's even the same The mortars and the
53:01
3d models they fill the gaps where artillery
53:04
is scarce and artillery is scarce At least
53:08
on the Ukrainian side They're having You know
53:13
constant pressure from the Russian side it's constant
53:18
and it's a According to all accounts it
53:24
is a graveyard and the the winners are
53:27
the teams that can stay supplied Stay awake
53:32
Stay invisible somehow, and it's I mean this
53:37
is It's gonna get worse in the winter.
53:40
It's not like they take a break You
53:42
know this is when the people who are
53:47
Using it to their advantage Make even more
53:52
and more effort to to take them out
53:56
to take out the other people Let's see
54:01
where are my Um The sanctions again no,
54:10
I'm gonna skip that but I did want
54:16
to talk about the the The nukes and
54:26
the border of ethnic again because there was
54:28
more Comment about that from the Guardian and
54:32
Reuters today that they followed some of what
54:35
I was saying yesterday or Listened to some
54:40
of the same some some of the same
54:43
issues about propulsion and the concept and Letting
54:50
it Loiter these loitering munitions that can come
54:55
out and Solovey off in his show took
54:59
it up as well in Today's I suppose.
55:03
It's tomorrow's show for us Because the day
55:07
to his show was the 28th and and
55:11
so I watched it an hour or so
55:13
a couple hours ago Well before that but
55:18
I mean the part that I was watching
55:19
here It was a was a couple hours
55:21
ago, and what he is saying or what
55:23
their panelists are talking about was the same
55:26
thing that I was talking about was what
55:28
was put on by the Ministry of Defense
55:32
the strategic rocket forces commander and the successful
55:36
multi-hour flight in the 14,000 kilometer
55:41
reach saying they can go basically anywhere they
55:45
want around the world and No, how do
55:50
you think that combats sanctions or does it
55:56
Like I said and and there was some
55:58
Western press today that I actually came out
56:01
and said the same thing that I said
56:03
it is real it does exist and It's
56:06
true that they can do it and they're
56:09
there however, they're trying to say we haven't
56:11
seen anything that it's more of a That
56:15
their prototype is now finished and it would
56:19
be terrifying if it was nuclear But it
56:23
could just as easily be nuclear is what
56:25
I'm saying and it's this is not good
56:31
You know Russia is winning this war.
56:36
I say one more time and there is
56:41
one simple way That we could assist them
56:46
in getting out of the war Quit funding
56:49
it But oh no How long is there
56:54
willing to die?
56:55
I suppose we are willing to fund it.
56:58
Don't you think I Think it's nonsense So
57:03
I wanted to follow up there was an
57:05
interesting article About democracy, right?
57:09
Let's talk about this Washington bailed out Javier
57:13
Millet and Allowing him to continue his Chainsaw
57:18
rampage against his own country.
57:21
Now.
57:22
I am with to Argentina Bueno, sorry, this
57:25
is beautiful.
57:26
I went to Argentina two years ago Yeah,
57:30
it was pretty cool.
57:31
I went to Argentina Uruguay Paraguay was a
57:34
decent trip two three years ago Two and
57:37
a half.
57:37
I don't remember but a couple years ago
57:39
pretty cool place and the the city of
57:42
Bueno, sorry is freaking fabulous.
57:46
It's like being in Europe but in South
57:50
America, I don't know if any of you
57:52
have traveled Extensively or not, but One of
57:59
the things I have never liked about Mexico
58:03
except, you know Haven't been to Mexico City.
58:08
I hear that Mexico City is an exception
58:12
but to me Mexico everywhere I've been has
58:17
always been just Dirty old unless you go
58:24
to some US or Western some kind of
58:28
a resort villa on the ocean, you know,
58:32
that's Designed to attract us, but when you
58:35
go off of that space and you go
58:37
into the towns and things Everything is kind
58:40
of ratty and crappy And old adobe style
58:45
stuff, you know, they're really cool stuff.
58:47
It's thousands years old, you know the Chichen
58:52
Itza's of the world the You know pyramids
58:55
and stuff like that now and so and
58:58
and that's unfair I know it is because
59:01
but I've been in the west part the
59:03
central part I've been on the on the
59:05
Gulf side where you know, where you the
59:08
tourism parts and I like the tourist places
59:10
I've been on the west side when you
59:12
you know, I've been a bit but Tijuana
59:16
is a hellhole no, Gallus is crap, you
59:19
know, I mean all these places are dirty
59:21
and nasty and Same thing goes when you
59:25
cross Down in southern, Texas, you know, I've
59:28
done that too and I've been to a
59:31
lot of places Especially the border towns and
59:33
they're just crap And the same thing goes
59:37
in in other areas unless you're in it's
59:41
been changing a few years ago I was
59:44
it went to a Mexico for some dental
59:48
stuff.
59:49
It was nice and cheap and That was
59:52
a interesting Trip and I forget the name
59:57
of the city I wish I could remember
59:58
it but it was kind of off the
1:00:00
beaten path and it was a nice city
1:00:02
It was a regular city far from tourism
1:00:05
far from all that other stuff and it
1:00:07
but it was a nice mostly clean modern
1:00:11
ish city But everywhere else I've been it's
1:00:16
been kind of crap when in and nothing
1:00:18
old and historic is Like European old and
1:00:24
nice but when you go to Argentina Bueno,
1:00:27
sorry That place is Nice, and they have
1:00:32
all these old-style buildings built in, you
1:00:34
know, the European style 1800s 1900s huge block
1:00:40
buildings built out of you know Limestone granite,
1:00:45
you know, whatever those big those those big
1:00:48
structure buildings are very nice and so I'm
1:00:52
a fan of Argentina, it's very nice and
1:00:55
it was Inexpensive to be there.
1:00:58
It was a little bit on the upper
1:01:00
side, but not like Brazil was higher, you
1:01:03
know a Rio was higher Colombia was higher
1:01:07
the Nicaragua was freaking crazy How high it
1:01:10
was and there's you know, a couple of
1:01:13
places that are like this, but this is
1:01:16
a talk about Argentina and basically The u
1:01:22
.s. Has gone to great lengths to keep
1:01:25
this guy in power Okay, this Javier Malay
1:01:30
had to keep him in power everybody thought
1:01:35
six months ago this dude was done and
1:01:39
Us can't have that because you can't have
1:01:43
Argentina going bricks or headed the other direction
1:01:46
or starting to not be IMF and geez
1:01:50
we need all your help.
1:01:51
And and so why do you think Trump
1:01:53
is saying right now?
1:01:55
We're gonna import all this beef from Argentina
1:01:59
and and and I hope that's not instead
1:02:01
of Brazil.
1:02:01
I'll bet you that Brazil is in Malaysia
1:02:06
right now Meeting with the Trumpster to make
1:02:09
sure that they do not lose on the
1:02:11
beef because where do we get the most
1:02:13
of our beef?
1:02:13
from comes from Brazil and now do you
1:02:18
or Trump is saying that we're gonna start
1:02:19
getting even more from Argentina, right?
1:02:22
so anyway with all that in mind, let
1:02:26
us let us take a look at what
1:02:30
democracy means in Argentina because I I smell
1:02:36
a rat But there's always a rat if
1:02:41
If If the u.s. Is involved, right?
1:02:46
Argentina has produced a surprise after a string
1:02:49
of economic and currency crises failures scandals and
1:02:55
humiliations Javier Malay the anarcho capitalist chainsaw artist
1:03:02
rockstar cosplayer and president Has snatched victory from
1:03:08
the jaws of defeat Where many observers Expected
1:03:13
or hoped for a trouncing for the budget
1:03:15
slashing bad boy.
1:03:17
He has proved us wrong Malay and his
1:03:21
party La Libertad Avanza Liberty advances have scored
1:03:25
a clear victory in Argentina's crucial midterm Congress
1:03:30
elections by Monday Preliminary results show his party
1:03:36
gaining over 40% of the boat vote
1:03:40
and leading in most Argentinian provinces the opposition
1:03:43
alliance did much worse than expected Got less
1:03:46
than a third of the ballots cast turnout
1:03:49
at 68% was the lowest since 1983
1:03:55
But it was not much lower than the
1:03:57
term for last midterm election So, you know
1:04:00
what happens when I see that when it
1:04:02
went personally, this is this is Sam stock
1:04:05
process when you do not see People showing
1:04:09
up to vote in turnout.
1:04:12
Is that low?
1:04:15
the reason it's low is because the victory
1:04:18
is already secured and everybody knows it or
1:04:23
it's corruption people know who you voted for
1:04:27
and therefore You don't want to vote because
1:04:32
people will find out who you voted for
1:04:33
and you'll pay a penalty for it So
1:04:36
I say the lower the turnout the much
1:04:40
more likely it is that there is outside
1:04:45
influence and Corruption and they have both of
1:04:50
those in abundance in Argentina so Malay claims
1:04:56
the election marked a Historic day for his
1:05:00
country that hyperbole is due to his enormous
1:05:03
vanity But there is no doubt the immediate
1:05:07
political Consequences of his resurgence will be far
1:05:12
-reaching Now controlling enough seats in both the
1:05:15
lower and upper houses of Argentina's Parliament His
1:05:19
presidential veto power cannot be challenged in general
1:05:24
He is in a position to continue his
1:05:27
radical right reforms Malay's wish list include revising
1:05:33
labor and contract laws more cuts to the
1:05:37
government and more Deregulation his party will still
1:05:41
have to look for allies and have to
1:05:43
have the requisite parliamentary votes But he clearly
1:05:47
has the upper hand for major political force
1:05:51
Fundamentally opposing Malay the Peronist coalition This election
1:05:57
has been a severe setback if they cannot
1:06:00
beat him when he is embattled by crises
1:06:03
and encumbered by scandal They will never be
1:06:06
able to scage a comeback and for that
1:06:10
they have themselves to blame the Malay phenomenon
1:06:14
remains an overdue overreaction to decades of dysfunction
1:06:19
and sleaze as a whole the opposition has
1:06:23
failed to offer a persuasive alternative Not only
1:06:27
to Malay but to much of the opposition's
1:06:30
own past with the best To be fair.
1:06:35
There is no reason to congratulate Malay because
1:06:39
it is not really his victory one Peronist
1:06:43
blames the opposition's defeat on President Trump is
1:06:48
this sour grapes?
1:06:49
No, because even if Malay's Argentinian opponents have
1:06:54
made their own mistakes Now and in the
1:06:57
past there is no doubt that Washington and
1:07:01
Trump Personally have intervened massively in this election
1:07:08
Indeed as is his style Trump has been
1:07:12
brutally honest about his intervention.
1:07:15
He has always been clear about his bromance
1:07:18
with Malay He had him at his residence
1:07:22
in Mar-a-Lago and admired his ruthless
1:07:24
approach to politics Malay has a record of
1:07:28
sucking up to Trump that makes even mark
1:07:31
Ruda NATO look like a vertebrate Recently and
1:07:36
more importantly Trump has proven that Malay is
1:07:39
a friend He is ready to come through
1:07:41
for in a big way when the melee
1:07:44
experiment was failing and about to crash Trump
1:07:48
extended a big beautiful bailout The rescue to
1:07:54
the tune of about 20 billion dollars though
1:07:57
likely more than 40 billion and counting was
1:08:01
to make Argentina great again According to Treasury
1:08:06
Secretary Scott Besant make no mistake without the
1:08:11
American bailout Argentina's economy would have collapsed or
1:08:16
been out of reserves as the experts say
1:08:20
and Malay would have been toast Trump has
1:08:23
mumbled something about just wanting Argentina to do
1:08:26
well But he did not save the country
1:08:30
instead He saved Malu's behind from another fiasco
1:08:34
that Malay had inflicted upon Argentina and there
1:08:39
is no ambiguity about the above Trump spelled
1:08:43
it out for Argentina's voters the u.s.
1:08:46
Bailout would continue Only if they supported If
1:08:52
he were to lose the u.s. Would
1:08:55
not be generous anymore even the Financial Times
1:09:00
has called this a naked form of financial
1:09:03
imperialism and Besides don't overlook what is happening
1:09:08
in Venezuela at this moment Remember I told
1:09:12
you that just earlier that The u.s.
1:09:17
Is already saying they don't expect Maduro to
1:09:21
be around much longer Obviously though Argentina is
1:09:26
a different country But the two states share
1:09:29
the harsh fate of having to live in
1:09:32
what the u.s. Considered its own Monroe
1:09:35
Doctrine given backyard With an explicitly aggressive military
1:09:41
buildup not seen in this region since the
1:09:43
Cuban Missile crisis and a policy of what
1:09:47
can only be called open military murder That's
1:09:51
what I call it.
1:09:52
You know you're bombing ships.
1:09:55
You don't have to prove a damn thing
1:09:56
just blow them up That'll teach him Washington
1:10:00
is sending a dark signal to anyone else
1:10:04
in the neighborhood Some are some are already
1:10:08
speaking it of the Donro Doctrine Donald get
1:10:13
it consider both the compulsory buying of Argentina's
1:10:17
election and the assault on Venezuela as parts
1:10:21
of an evolving kit of instruments of bribery
1:10:25
or torture So here's your choice bribery in
1:10:29
Argentina or torture in Venezuela.
1:10:34
I Agree with this article completely which is
1:10:37
why I'm sharing it with you There are
1:10:41
three important lessons here firstly do not mistake
1:10:45
the Trumpist raising of USAID for international development
1:10:49
for an American No to massive meddling in
1:10:53
other countries the Trumpists are as meddlesome as
1:10:58
The worst of them they are just more
1:11:00
crude about it Secondly and it's almost too
1:11:04
obvious to mention, but the next time Americans
1:11:08
make yet another Hysterical fuss about the sanctity
1:11:11
of their hallowed election circus being besmirched by
1:11:16
evil foreigners stop listening Trump who was the
1:11:21
victim of Russia rage aka Russia gate He
1:11:25
loves to intervene finally as strange as it
1:11:29
may sound what just happened to Argentina may
1:11:32
indicate the limits of US power as much
1:11:37
as its relentless escalating aggressiveness to execute Execute
1:11:45
his saving of Libertarian Malay Trump had to
1:11:49
alienate large swaths of his own base Those
1:11:54
who believe in the original MAGA make America
1:11:57
not Argentina great again according to polls nearly
1:12:02
50% of Trump voters are dead set
1:12:06
against his big Malay handout Americans including farmers
1:12:12
directly competing with those from Argentina are Struggling
1:12:16
while a foreign flattery and bombast expert siphons
1:12:21
off their tax dollars Because he is the
1:12:24
Donald's pet Seems like a sustainable strategy especially
1:12:29
for an avowed Nationalists Openly shaft your loyal
1:12:34
own to pamper a slick foreigner un-american
1:12:39
one thing that is special about Trump ism
1:12:42
is Its shamelessness all bitter pills No sugar
1:12:48
coating that means the US power is losing
1:12:52
its ability to deceive polite expression soft power
1:12:58
It is now down to brute force Venezuela
1:13:02
and blatant payoffs Argentina it is in other
1:13:06
words Increasingly naked not only at home, but
1:13:11
also abroad That is good news according to
1:13:16
some I'm telling you what if I wasn't
1:13:20
so against what is going on in Venezuela
1:13:25
and this bombing of boats because you claim
1:13:30
they're drug dealers and You won't prove it.
1:13:35
Why would I believe you?
1:13:38
Just because you have You know the support
1:13:41
of Trump.
1:13:42
I don't think so That's not how it
1:13:45
works for me friends and neighbors, and I
1:13:48
don't like Meddling in other people's elections And
1:13:53
we are clearly doing it and for it
1:13:56
to come from us or to from from
1:14:00
You know we're we're supposed to be all
1:14:02
about democracy Who's to say that Trump promising
1:14:08
20 to 40 billion?
1:14:10
Didn't keep people home that they gave up
1:14:13
because of it that people are like why
1:14:16
would I fight that?
1:14:17
The the six months ago this Malay guy
1:14:21
was supposed to lose the beating he took
1:14:24
in the in the Preliminaries or whatever they
1:14:27
call him there Was brutal and he he
1:14:32
was gonna have his ass handed to him
1:14:33
He's been all about Donald Trump ever since
1:14:37
then and it is shameless I think we
1:14:40
are meddling again We're building up this military
1:14:44
presence in South America for what?
1:14:47
What are we gonna?
1:14:48
Do seriously?
1:14:49
What are we doing down there?
1:14:51
Frightening people into submission is that the deal
1:14:54
it are we are we are we keeping
1:14:57
China out of there meanwhile?
1:14:59
We're still in the China Sea You know
1:15:01
I told you about that when the two
1:15:03
planes crashed on the offer the plane in
1:15:05
the helicopter Crashed out off of the Nimitz
1:15:08
today or yesterday I'm I'm disappointed in this
1:15:17
Unfortunate Turn of events so there you have
1:15:23
it We finally got some news about India's
1:15:30
strategy in the face of Trump's Russia sanctions
1:15:36
remember all the Trump all the Trump talk
1:15:39
that We're gonna keep India From buying Russian
1:15:45
gas and that Modi called him and said
1:15:48
he wasn't gonna do it anymore Hmm Let's
1:15:52
see what happened in the last few days,
1:15:54
right?
1:15:57
Here it comes It is just as well
1:16:02
that India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi decided to
1:16:08
skip Going to the two-day East Asian
1:16:12
leaders summit in Kuala Lumpur from October 26
1:16:16
to 28 hmm curious Modi settling for virtual
1:16:23
attendance at the ASEAN summit is being seen
1:16:26
as his way of averting a face-to
1:16:30
-face bilateral meeting with President Trump as Speculated
1:16:35
had an in-person meeting between the two
1:16:39
happened Trump's pressure on India to halt import
1:16:45
of Russian oil Would have become three-faced
1:16:49
now.
1:16:50
Hold on and I'll tell you what that
1:16:51
means in His current tactics of harm and
1:16:55
charm on the one hand Trump publicly warns
1:17:00
India against importing oil from Russia and threatens
1:17:04
higher tariffs on the other hand he tweets
1:17:08
flattering messages to Modi saying he's a good
1:17:12
friend and great leader and Telephones to greet
1:17:16
him on occasions such as his birthday and
1:17:20
the Diwali festival Modi plays along when it
1:17:24
comes to Trump's messages and calls to charm
1:17:27
him Modi's verbal responses may be effusive But
1:17:31
his actions show that he does not expect
1:17:34
these pleasantries to make the u.s Retreat
1:17:37
from inflicting harm on India by way of
1:17:41
tariffs the only way the latter can happen
1:17:44
is if Modi refuses to buckle Under Trump's
1:17:50
pressure as he appears to be doing by
1:17:53
not meeting Trump in person The official reason
1:17:57
advanced for Modi staying away from the important
1:18:00
forum is Diwali festive festivities.
1:18:04
However, there are a few takers for this
1:18:07
explanation Observers point out that Modi has also
1:18:11
kept away from the summit on Gaza in
1:18:14
Egypt Evidently to avoid being cornered by Trump.
1:18:18
He has He has Deputed External Affairs Minister
1:18:26
Jai Shankar to represent India at the East
1:18:30
Asia Summit Whereas he sent a junior minister
1:18:33
to Egypt Modi is said to be miffed
1:18:37
with Trump for claiming more than 50 times
1:18:40
in recent months That he had mediated the
1:18:43
ceasefire between India and Pakistan After a short
1:18:47
but fierce military standoff between the two Asian
1:18:51
neighbors This has been repeatedly denied by New
1:18:55
Daily Worse Trump has claimed at least five
1:18:59
times that Modi assured him of stopping oil
1:19:03
Purchases from Russia that's never happened, by the
1:19:07
way Trump's assertions of Modi's promise on this
1:19:11
move Under threat of raising tariffs even further
1:19:16
has been followed by sanctions on Russian oil
1:19:20
forms Rosneft and Lukoil this year at least
1:19:24
34% of India's crude requirement has been
1:19:29
imported from Moscow and these two Russian oil
1:19:34
giants account for 60% of those supplies
1:19:38
in addition to the reciprocal tariff of 25
1:19:42
% Already in place since July 30th the
1:19:47
u.s. Slapped another 25% secondary tariff
1:19:51
on India for buying Russian oil The sanctions
1:19:55
will force Reliance Industries India's biggest buyer of
1:20:00
Russian oil to reduce imports and public sector
1:20:04
oil Companies such as Indian oil may be
1:20:08
advised to follow suit though Though they have
1:20:12
no direct arrangements with Rosneft or Lukoil For
1:20:17
now, they can continue buying from intermediaries another
1:20:21
company to suffer a body blow from the
1:20:23
u.s Sanctions is Nayara Energy one of
1:20:27
India's largest refineries in which Rosneft Russian oil
1:20:33
holds a 49 and a third 49.13
1:20:38
% ownership share the sanctions on Rosneft and
1:20:42
Lukoil mean that any entity US or foreign
1:20:47
Dealing with these companies run the risk of
1:20:50
massive penalties Reports are that Reliance Industries, which
1:20:54
is estimated to have purchased 35 million worth
1:20:58
of oil since the outbreak of hostilities in
1:21:02
Ukraine in 2022 will have to start reducing
1:21:05
imports gradually and possibly Stop all imports from
1:21:10
Russia by 20 November 21 in its statement
1:21:14
on Friday The company said it is reviewing
1:21:19
the impact on its Russian suppliers and will
1:21:22
adjust operations accordingly while maintaining domestic energy security
1:21:29
Reliance will be hit very hard through a
1:21:31
large proportion of the crude Imported at discount
1:21:34
prices and refined by it into petrol diesel
1:21:37
and aviation fuel And it was exported to
1:21:41
the US and Europe at a good profit
1:21:43
the company which has a 25 year agreement
1:21:46
with Rosneft to buy 25 million tons of
1:21:50
crude per year is Reported to have imported
1:21:54
nearly 50% of the 1.8 million
1:21:57
barrels supplied daily to India The absence of
1:22:01
discounted crude from Russia would mean a loss
1:22:04
of five to six billion per year according
1:22:08
to the former foreign secretary Trump has described
1:22:12
the move as a gradual process and said
1:22:14
India would bring Russian oil Imports down to
1:22:18
almost nothing by year-end Reports are that
1:22:23
in the wake of u.s. Imposed sanctions
1:22:26
on Rosneft and Luke oil China's big state
1:22:30
-owned oil companies are suspending purchases of seaborne
1:22:35
Russian oil Trump's attempts to squeeze India and
1:22:39
China in a big way to gradually Reduce
1:22:42
and end oil imports from Russia is to
1:22:45
beat Moscow into submission and make it comply
1:22:49
with him for a deal with Ukraine However,
1:22:53
President Putin is unlikely to yield any ground
1:22:57
under such mounting pressure from the US or
1:23:00
Europe Putin made it clear this week that
1:23:02
no self-respecting country or Self-respecting people
1:23:07
ever decide anything under such pressure Such a
1:23:12
position should hold good for India as well
1:23:15
However new deal it New Delhi does not
1:23:18
have the economic and military heft of China
1:23:21
and Russia To withstand u.s. Pressure beyond
1:23:25
a certain point Putin slammed u.s. Sanctions
1:23:28
on two big Russian oil companies as an
1:23:31
unfriendly act and admitted it will have some
1:23:34
Consequences, but he said it won't greatly affect
1:23:37
our economic stability The same cannot be said
1:23:41
about the impact of such sanctions on the
1:23:44
Indian economy New Delhi has pointed out more
1:23:47
than once that energy security is critical and
1:23:51
Indian imports from Russia are dictated by its
1:23:55
national interest in ensuring stable prices and secure
1:24:00
energy The government calls Trump's tariffs unfair Unjustified
1:24:06
and unreasonable the frictions caused by such tariffs
1:24:10
has stalled progress on a trade agreement between
1:24:13
India and the u.s. Although talks continue
1:24:16
at various levels Some of these conversations seem
1:24:20
to be pulling India deeper into a situation
1:24:23
where New Delhi May find it hard to
1:24:25
push back against a tremendous pressure being exerted
1:24:29
by the u.s. This is evidence First
1:24:34
and foremost in India agreeing to cut Russian
1:24:37
oil imports although there is no official word
1:24:41
of this being done to comply with Russia's
1:24:44
or with Trump's demand and Asking public sector
1:24:47
oil companies to source more crude from the
1:24:52
u.s Second India has reportedly agreed to
1:24:55
open its agricultural sector to u.s. Produce
1:24:59
which the government had been unwilling to do
1:25:03
as Higher farm imports will hurt India's farmers
1:25:07
these developments relating to the two critical sectors
1:25:12
of energy and Agriculture are being attributed to
1:25:16
the recent visit of Trump's new envoy Sergei
1:25:19
Gore to India Gore's visit appears to have
1:25:23
melted New Delhi's resistance to stay the course
1:25:26
with Russian oil imports and Not open the
1:25:29
agriculture sector to the u.s. Produce Gore
1:25:32
was in India for five days from October
1:25:35
10 to 15 October 11 he met with
1:25:39
Modi Jaishankar National Security Advisor Ajit Deval and
1:25:44
Foreign Secretary Vikram Mistry Rare is the diplomat
1:25:47
who has scored such high-level intensive discussions
1:25:50
with four top figures in the government in
1:25:53
a single day in fact Ambassadors have to
1:25:58
wait for weeks if not months to present
1:26:01
their credentials after being posted to Delhi Whereas
1:26:06
Gore as of now is ambassador designate to
1:26:09
India and scheduled to assume office only in
1:26:11
the new year He has a larger role
1:26:14
as Trump's special envoy for South and Central
1:26:16
Asia and that mandates him to engage with
1:26:19
Pakistan Bangladesh Afghanistan in the Central Asian states
1:26:24
Gore not a career diplomat He served as
1:26:27
Trump's campaign strategist his appointment the royal reception
1:26:31
He received in New Delhi and the upbeat
1:26:34
mood and with gung-ho remarks by both
1:26:37
sides Show that Trump means business when he
1:26:40
wants India to abide by terms whether on
1:26:43
energy or agriculture it might be a case
1:26:46
of diplomacy leveraging Transactional deals for an India
1:26:52
US geopolitical alignment with implications for regional security
1:26:56
Gore's messaging with India's Commerce Secretary suggests that
1:27:01
after scoring on energy and agriculture his next
1:27:04
target may be to wrap up a bilateral
1:27:07
trade deal in November Washington is gradually and
1:27:13
inexorably Lowering the boom on Russia India and
1:27:17
China This could have unforeseen effects on India's
1:27:21
foreign policy its relationship with Moscow Washington and
1:27:26
Beijing and its role in Multilateral forums such
1:27:31
as SEO and bricks besides a troubled neighborhood
1:27:35
where the u.s. Is a major player
1:27:38
That is if Trump continues to call the
1:27:42
shots Now some of you Trump lovers out
1:27:45
there might like this and I I'm not
1:27:50
against it.
1:27:51
It I mean it is what it is,
1:27:52
you know, I I kind of anticipated wondering
1:27:55
when it was gonna get worse But I
1:27:59
also believe that this is going to cause
1:28:04
even more purchasing outside of the dollar Okay,
1:28:10
and I'm not India won't forget this let's
1:28:14
put it that way these are long-term
1:28:18
Long-term deals that the old trumpster is
1:28:21
making here and he's not making any friends
1:28:24
while doing it That is clear by the
1:28:27
fact that Modi is not Participating with him
1:28:33
in Malaysia when he should be So There
1:28:39
you have it.
1:28:40
Well, it's been a newsworthy day plenty of
1:28:43
stuff to go into today and We're near
1:28:47
the wrapping up of all of this.
