Greenland Grabs, Venezuela Raids, and Oreshnik Reality: Trump’s War Drums, Europe’s Army Talk, and Ukraine Escalation Unfiltered Report · International Flavor: Where the Truth Tastes Better

• 0:00
  Hello, good morning and welcome. This is International Flavor.
• 0:03
  You are listening to DAM Radio and I'm coming to you live from the Lake
• 0:08
  Ozark real estate of the art studio.
• 0:12
  And, uh, the studio's a little bit in a turmoil this morning.
• 0:17
  Don't know what happened in here, but, uh, the,
• 0:20
  there's some equipment unhooked and I'm not going to play with it
• 0:25
  because I don't want to dick it up any further than it already is.
• 0:29
  But there you have it. Um, good morning. Hope you had a good weekend.
• 0:33
  I have been in recovery and research mode
• 0:39
  all farging weekend long and I had a
• 0:43
  good time doing it. I must say, actually I was, uh,
• 0:48
  recovering, been sick,
• 0:50
  but I have been in research and a strategy mode and, uh,
• 0:55
  was able to get a bunch of computer work done. Life is, uh,
• 0:59
  generally good. Still under the weather. I don't know what's going on.
• 1:03
  Must be the constant changes. Uh,
• 1:06
  having been mostly in Florida the last several years,
• 1:11
  the temperature's basically always the same down there. Uh,
• 1:16
  sometimes it gets a little warmer, but it's always warm here.
• 1:19
  You can't figure out if it's going to be a 65 degree day or a 12 degree day and
• 1:25
  you freeze your left one off every time you go outside and then the next day
• 1:29
  it's hot or very, very warm anyway.
• 1:35
  Anyway, it gets a little frustrating and maybe that's part of the thing with my,
• 1:40
  uh, my getting colds.
• 1:42
  So often lately following a couple of home remedies from my sister,
• 1:47
  God lover, given me some good information on how to get and stay relatively
• 1:55
  healthy. Although I've never been really a huge unhealthy person.
• 1:59
  I drink my share of coffee and, uh,
• 2:03
  unfortunately have a few vices like, uh,
• 2:07
  juju bees and stuff like that every now and again. But, uh, you know,
• 2:11
  other than that, I'm fairly, uh, healthy and then, you know,
• 2:16
  but coffee got to have your coffee every morning. Sip along now.
• 2:20
  Mmm.
• 2:23
  That's good coffee. So, uh, that is good stuff. Maynard.
• 2:28
  Um, over the weekend I've been paying attention a little bit to the escalation
• 2:36
  of various things going on and I don't like this occupation discussion they are
• 2:45
  talking about with Greenland. There's many of the international things.
• 2:50
  I just don't like. And, uh,
• 2:55
  the ultimatums from, um,
• 2:58
  Trump going on and now he's making no, um,
• 3:03
  no bones about it. He's, he's,
• 3:07
  he's definitely become the wartime president and he gonna create his own wars.
• 3:13
  I'll just, well, I'm doing it.
• 3:16
  Basically I heard him over the weekend and I don't mean to laugh about it cause
• 3:19
  this isn't funny people. He's like, eh, we need Greenland.
• 3:23
  So either you're going to get, but either way we're taking it basically.
• 3:27
  It's like, uh, you don't know what, I mean,
• 3:32
  you never know whether obviously he's not joking and,
• 3:35
  and that's the horror story of it all. Um, and, uh,
• 3:40
  you know, it is his latest, uh, get this.
• 3:44
  He says he wants to save Greenland from Russia and China.
• 3:49
  He doesn't want Russia and China is neighbors. Uh, you know,
• 3:53
  he kind of forgot that Russia is already our neighbor. You know,
• 3:57
  we were talking not even a couple of months ago after, well,
• 4:01
  I suppose it was about five, six months ago. Now, uh, after the, uh,
• 4:05
  the summit in Alaska, we're talking about, uh, and there was not just me,
• 4:11
  but there were other people talking about building a tunnel slash bridge system
• 4:16
  on the Bering Strait between, uh, Kamchatka and, uh, uh,
• 4:22
  uh, Alaska, you know, the, the Juneau part,
• 4:26
  the Ptarmigan arm there that comes down. And, uh, uh,
• 4:30
  that's what they were gonna, um, they were actually discussing.
• 4:34
  There's been plans along those lines for, for not plans, but, uh,
• 4:39
  drawings and ideas of that kind for quite a few years.
• 4:44
  And, uh, uh, you know, obviously, uh, not gonna happen, but, um,
• 4:49
  uh, rather entertaining, you know, to say the least.
• 4:54
  And, um, what, what this guy is,
• 4:58
  what this guy is doing. And now he says, well,
• 5:02
  we're going to take Greenland over the weekend. Yeah. We're going to take Greenland.
• 5:06
  Uh, he said on Sunday that Denmark's defenses are two dog sleds.
• 5:12
  He goes, great. What are they going to do?
• 5:15
  Fight me with their two dog sleds. You know, I, I don't have the quote pulled up,
• 5:20
  but it, but he, uh, uh, is renewing his push for, uh,
• 5:24
  NATO to, uh, give up. Well, what about Greenland?
• 5:28
  Nobody's talking about Greenland, you know, and what they want.
• 5:32
  And Greenland has been pretty clear. They don't want, you know, to be,
• 5:36
  you know, 51st state or whatever for the United States.
• 5:40
  And Venezuela has been fairly clear that, you know, the, uh,
• 5:45
  a decent majority of them have been fairly clear that they're not interested in
• 5:49
  us, uh, colonization either.
• 5:53
  So Greenland doesn't want to be a colony.
• 5:56
  Venezuela doesn't want to be a colony. Uh,
• 6:00
  where else was he planning on going? Uh, Cuba doesn't want to be a colony,
• 6:04
  you know, and, and Trump, he don't care. He's well, forget it. I'm taking them.
• 6:09
  That's that. And, uh, now he wants to take Iran to, um, you know,
• 6:14
  he's going to have, he's going to have all kinds of fun. Um,
• 6:17
  so Greenland, basically their defense is two dog sleds. He said,
• 6:22
  in the meantime,
• 6:22
  you have Russian destroyers and submarines and China destroyers and submarines
• 6:27
  all over the place. We're not going to let that happen.
• 6:32
  I don't know what he means by all over the place. What do we have?
• 6:37
  All over the place.
• 6:39
  We have destroyers and submarines all over the place.
• 6:44
  Uh, you know, why, why would China, which is, I don't know,
• 6:49
  how many times our size, uh, 1.44,
• 6:54
  3 billion people makes them about what?
• 7:00
  Five times our size or six. Um,
• 7:04
  the population wise and, uh, uh, you know,
• 7:09
  we're not going to let that happen. And since the 19th century,
• 7:14
  a number of officials us have argued that the Arctic Island,
• 7:19
  which hosts a military base already for the United States should become
• 7:24
  American territory.
• 7:25
  And after Trump reiterated his interest in acquiring Greenland early in his
• 7:30
  second term, he calls it on national security. It's always,
• 7:34
  it's always for everything. National security.
• 7:37
  Copenhagen said it would bolster its defenses by adding dog sled patrols and
• 7:42
  purchasing two more Arctic inspection vessels to supplement Greenland's
• 7:47
  aging fleet of four. Hmm.
• 7:52
  The media reports at the time noted that there were 12 dog sled
• 7:56
  units in the autonomous Danish territory is ice covered with settlements and
• 8:01
  infrastructure, mostly confined to the coast.
• 8:04
  And the Nordic nations have dismissed Trump's claim about Russian and Chinese
• 8:09
  threats to Greenland. Well, I do too. I do. That's completely false.
• 8:14
  It's nonsense saying that no military activity has been detected in the area in
• 8:19
  years, said the financial times on Sunday.
• 8:23
  It's simply not true that the Chinese and the Russians are anywhere near there.
• 8:30
  Now I added the anywhere near, but the report is there.
• 8:33
  I have seen the intelligence, no ships, no submarines,
• 8:38
  a senior European diplomat told the newspaper. And earlier this month,
• 8:43
  the U S military raided Venezuela to kidnap president Maduro.
• 8:49
  And according to Trump, you're not supposed to use the word kidnapped,
• 8:52
  by the way, we're supposed to use the word captured.
• 8:56
  According to Trump,
• 8:57
  the operation was partly intended to reinforce Washington's hegemony in the
• 9:04
  Western hemisphere and to counter Russian and Chinese influence in South
• 9:10
  America. So now all of this, everything he does now is to a,
• 9:16
  now he's member. I've been talking for a long time that the U S,
• 9:21
  I don't want to say decline, but parity is, is coming.
• 9:26
  Equal nations are, you know, are some are more equal than others.
• 9:31
  You know, like, just like in George Orwell's 1984,
• 9:35
  some people are more equal to some pigs are more equal than other pigs.
• 9:40
  But you can say that America is more equal than Russia or China.
• 9:46
  When it comes to being a country and you know,
• 9:50
  certainly in enforcing rules or creating their own rules,
• 9:55
  China and Russia aren't allowed to create their own rules. India,
• 9:59
  God forbid create its own rules,
• 10:02
  but the U S will create its own rules and there's nobody going to stop them
• 10:10
  because why the rules do not apply to us.
• 10:16
  Our government doesn't follow the rules and why should they?
• 10:22
  We are special.
• 10:24
  We have predetermined that we are special and so therefore we are right.
• 10:33
  Silence. I don't know if I can take phone calls. Like I said, they're the,
• 10:36
  the headphones aren't hooked up.
• 10:38
  I don't know what's going on in here this morning,
• 10:40
  but nothing is hooked up and I don't want to mess anything up.
• 10:44
  So I ain't going to dink with it and put them back on.
• 10:46
  So if you're going to call don't cause I can't answer anyway, or if I do,
• 10:51
  maybe it'll just be loud in the studio. I have no idea. But at any rate,
• 10:56
  um, we're experiencing all kinds of problems this morning. Um,
• 11:04
  however, Trump's war chants,
• 11:08
  his war dances, uh, you know,
• 11:11
  are causing waves in quite a few places,
• 11:18
  um, including in Iran. Okay. Uh,
• 11:23
  I don't know what his plans are for, for starting war all over the country.
• 11:28
  We know Lindsey Graham's out beating the war drums. He ought to be, um, you know,
• 11:33
  throwing on a headdress and dancing around a fire and having people beating the
• 11:38
  drum like normal. Um, but I ran,
• 11:43
  yesterday or was it over the weekend? Could have been Saturday.
• 11:46
  They will conduct a preemptive strikes on the U S and Israel if they detect an
• 11:52
  attack. Uh, this was from an Iranian parliamentary speaker named Mohammad
• 11:58
  Bagher Ghalibaf Ghalibaf. Uh,
• 12:02
  the warning comes after president Trump and prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu
• 12:07
  expressed support for the protest in Iranian cities triggered by inflation and
• 12:13
  economics.
• 12:15
  Let those who threaten Iran be warned any attack on Iran will make both occupied
• 12:21
  territories,
• 12:22
  all military centers and bases and American ships in the region legitimate
• 12:28
  targets. Ghalibaf said on Saturday,
• 12:31
  we do not limit ourselves to responding only after an attack and will act based
• 12:37
  on objective signs of a threat so that no one makes miscalculations that will
• 12:44
  lead them to disaster. He said,
• 12:47
  Trump has said the U S would help protesters if the government continues to crack
• 12:52
  down on riots that are sweeping the country.
• 12:56
  You better not start shooting cause we will start shooting too.
• 13:01
  He said Netanyahu is also supporting the protesters and the U S government
• 13:07
  and according to the New York times,
• 13:10
  Trump has been briefed on the military options. Of course, in Trump, uh,
• 13:15
  you know, he's a wartime president. This peace, peace. I want peace.
• 13:19
  I want peace. Don't believe it cause he is talking war and uh,
• 13:24
  that is where he is pushing. He, he again was talking about,
• 13:28
  we're going to be in charge of Venezuela for a while and we're stealing their oil
• 13:32
  and we aren't even paying for it. He just, they're giving it to us.
• 13:36
  We're taking it. That's that. We're taking the oil.
• 13:42
  They're giving us whatever it was, 50 Bill,
• 13:44
  30 to 50 million barrels or something that they're just handing over. Oh gee,
• 13:49
  thanks. Um, and he was briefed on military options,
• 13:53
  including strikes on non-military targets in Tehran,
• 13:57
  but no final decision has been made.
• 14:00
  The U S and Israel struck last in June of 2025 and targeted military sites and
• 14:06
  nuclear facilities. And the worst, uh,
• 14:08
  unrest in recent recent years erupted across Iran and late December.
• 14:14
  And there've been pretty high increases in food prices and protests and attacks
• 14:19
  on government buildings. More than 200 people have been killed. Uh,
• 14:24
  Iran's news agency reported that rioters killed 25 civilians in six years.
• 14:30
  Security personnel. And so who knows what we're going to,
• 14:36
  uh, uh,
• 14:39
  figure out.
• 14:41
  So the British government,
• 14:45
  they agreed recently to pay out a substantial sum to settle a lawsuit over its
• 14:53
  intelligence services role in the torture of a terror suspect who is in the
• 15:00
  indefinitely detained by the United States.
• 15:04
  So this is one of those guys that we just detained and a guy named Abu Zubaida
• 15:11
  who George Bush once claimed was a senior Al Qaeda figure.
• 15:16
  He has been held, get this, this is nonsense people.
• 15:20
  He has been held without a trial in us custody,
• 15:25
  including at a military base in Guantanamo, Cuba.
• 15:28
  Since he was captured in 2002 and the UK has agreed to settle a civil case that
• 15:37
  accused British intelligence of supplying questions to American interrogators
• 15:41
  despite knowing that Zubaida was being mistreated. His legal team said Monday,
• 15:47
  born Zain Al Abidin Mohamed Hussain Zubaida,
• 15:52
  54. He was a Saudi born Palestinian citizen.
• 15:58
  Who fought in the U S backed anti-Soviet insurgency in Afghanistan in the 80s.
• 16:05
  He was captured in Pakistan in March 20 or 2002 and he spent four years in CIA
• 16:13
  black sites,
• 16:14
  secret detention facilities in foreign countries used for what the Bush
• 16:18
  administration called enhanced interrogation.
• 16:22
  U S officials described him as a Guinea pig for the widely criticized program
• 16:28
  though later retracted claims about his high lever role in Al Qaeda.
• 16:33
  He was transferred to Guantanamo in 2006 so allegedly suffered more abuse there
• 16:40
  and is now one of its forever prisoners whom the U S justice system refuses to
• 16:46
  either charge or release.
• 16:49
  He previously sued Poland and Lithuania for hosting American black sites.
• 16:54
  The U S has declined to comment on the settlement due to its sensitive nature.
• 17:00
  And an international lawyer,
• 17:02
  Helen Duffy has represented Zubaida since 2008 said that she is hopeful that the
• 17:09
  payment of the sum will enable him to do that and support himself when he's on
• 17:14
  the outside world. However,
• 17:17
  that is proposed release depends on the U S and it's goodwill.
• 17:22
  They're just holding the guy forever. No,
• 17:25
  I'm very much against that as well.
• 17:27
  Either charge him with something or get rid of him. And uh, you know,
• 17:32
  uh, Oh, wait a minute. Hold on. Uh,
• 17:39
  total of 26 piece, you know, they shut down in oh nine.
• 17:44
  When is that an old article that I was reading? I don't think so.
• 17:49
  I don't think so. Let's see. Hold on.
• 17:57
  No, that was, uh, the payment was, that one was,
• 18:01
  was brand new and it says he's still being held, but I'm not positive of that.
• 18:06
  Maybe he was released. Um, that could be an incorrect, uh,
• 18:12
  part on there.
• 18:13
  Cause there's another article that says a number of them were released,
• 18:15
  but that's an old article. So I don't know. Um,
• 18:19
  other important news and F 16 was shot down in Ukraine according to a Russian
• 18:27
  commander. Um, I saw an interesting YouTube video yesterday.
• 18:31
  Don't know if it was, um, you know, it wasn't a,
• 18:34
  I didn't appear to be I generated,
• 18:37
  but I suppose it could have been that showed a new Sue 57,
• 18:41
  uh, within geez, almost touching distance of a U S uh,
• 18:48
  U S warship flew in between a couple of them. And uh, wow,
• 18:53
  that was, uh, unbelievable.
• 18:55
  But now a Russian commander has said his S 300 air defense battery shot down a
• 19:01
  U S made F 16 fighter operated in Ukraine.
• 19:05
  In an interview aired on Russia one TV Sunday,
• 19:10
  the commander who was identified by the call sign sever, uh,
• 19:14
  told journalist Vladimir Solovyov that the U S aircraft was an interesting
• 19:20
  target. He said the battery fired two missiles.
• 19:23
  At the F 16 the first one damaged it.
• 19:25
  The second one delivered the final blow and it took a lot of time to prepare the
• 19:30
  operation. They were tracking it and anticipating it.
• 19:34
  Enemy said that these planes are indestructible and as it turns out,
• 19:37
  they fall out of the sky just like the rest. Um,
• 19:41
  so they didn't say exactly the day on that,
• 19:45
  but Kiev has allegedly received 44 of 87 jets of the F 16 variety promptly
• 19:53
  promised by the, uh, Europe Europeans.
• 19:57
  So there you have it. Um,
• 20:01
  there's been a lot of bombing of Ukraine.
• 20:06
  Uh, then over the weekend, excuse me,
• 20:09
  there was an interesting article that I watched that I really should share a
• 20:14
  little bit of it with you. And I, uh, if I can pull it up, I,
• 20:19
  I think I will because it was, uh,
• 20:22
  talking about the Arashnik missile. And if you remember, uh,
• 20:27
  sometime ago I gave a, um, a bit of a detail on Arashnik,
• 20:33
  which, which, uh, means hazelnut. Um,
• 20:37
  and it's a missile that hypersonic non trackable basically.
• 20:44
  Well, they can track it, but they can't, can't keep up with it.
• 20:47
  It goes between Mach nine and Mach 11.
• 20:50
  The Ukrainian said they tracked it at Mach 10.2 or something like that from last
• 20:57
  year. And a new one, uh,
• 21:00
  hit inside Dnipro and Dnipropetrovsk where the Dnipro river is.
• 21:07
  And, uh, another one went, you know, um,
• 21:12
  they had several strikes and the Arashnik,
• 21:15
  if you recall, is a hypersonic nuclear capable,
• 21:21
  um, non ballistic, but a trackable missile.
• 21:25
  But it's a missile that, uh,
• 21:28
  can hug the ground.
• 21:31
  And it also is,
• 21:33
  it has an arc that comes in. Uh, if you, if you could shoot it,
• 21:39
  I mean, if you do shoot it, it's hypersonic,
• 21:41
  so it can go up and it can be a ballistic as well.
• 21:43
  And so it goes up really high in the ballistic and then it comes down and it has
• 21:47
  more of a, a direct trajectory toward the ground.
• 21:51
  And, uh, it has inside it,
• 21:54
  it has six separate inside the major canister,
• 22:00
  which is about a meter and a half wide.
• 22:03
  It has another set of stacked three sets each.
• 22:09
  And, uh,
• 22:10
  so six canisters of smaller warheads and each warhead canister has another six
• 22:20
  inside of there.
• 22:21
  So you basically have 36 missile warheads,
• 22:28
  I suppose you would call them that can come down at the same,
• 22:33
  that come down at the same time and virtually unstoppable.
• 22:38
  Unstoppable. Uh, there's no defensive, you know, uh,
• 22:42
  air defense mechanisms cannot catch them.
• 22:45
  And, uh, they used it some more in the NEPRO over the weekend. Um,
• 22:50
  all the talk is starting to, uh, I don't know what have its consequences,
• 22:56
  I think. And, uh, is what I think. And, uh, the escalation is,
• 23:01
  and by the way, the front is still moving steadily to the West, uh,
• 23:06
  and Russia is pushing and the line is still progressing faster and faster toward
• 23:14
  the West. And Russia used this Resnik and I watched a,
• 23:20
  um, a pretty good, um, well to me it's interesting though. Um,
• 23:27
  I watched a pretty good, uh,
• 23:30
  YouTube video about the Resnik and,
• 23:36
  and there's, uh, let's see if I can find it for you.
• 23:41
  Cause I did want to share a little bit of it with you because this guy was an
• 23:46
  interesting dude. If I can get there to him.
• 23:52
  Um, let's see.
• 23:55
  Resnik number two. And there's plenty of, uh,
• 24:00
  yeah, this is him. The guy's name is, uh,
• 24:03
  he's an MIT professor and his name is, is, uh,
• 24:08
  Ted hostile or postal if I'm pronouncing it correctly.
• 24:16
  And he, uh, he gives a very interesting,
• 24:20
  and he's talking on the show of Daniel Davis.
• 24:24
  And I don't know if you've watched Daniel Davis in his deep dives, but he's,
• 24:29
  he's pretty interesting.
• 24:31
  And you can follow the Resnik with him.
• 24:36
  And, uh, Daniel Davis is, uh, his,
• 24:39
  his show advertises him as a four time combat deployed.
• 24:44
  He's a bronze star medal of valor in Iraq and a bronze star service in
• 24:50
  Afghanistan. And, uh,
• 24:53
  he has his own podcast and, uh, uh,
• 24:57
  or YouTube channel. And he's, he's,
• 25:01
  he's got a very interesting guy. And, uh, this, this Ted Postal,
• 25:07
  P O S T O L. Uh,
• 25:09
  he gives a bit of a class on it and I wanted to share a little bit of it with
• 25:17
  you. And, uh, it, um,
• 25:20
  they talked about the newer Resnik. He, I mean, he does, he does a lot of shows.
• 25:25
  Um, does Daniel Davis.
• 25:28
  And so I don't watch enough of them,
• 25:31
  but he also had Alexander more coolies on the guy from England who,
• 25:37
  uh, uh, I interviewed with when I was over in Kazan and that's a very interesting
• 25:41
  one too, that they both talk about it and, uh, they, they live this stuff
• 25:47
  and they, uh, this is what they,
• 25:50
  they do and they're, they're very good at it and quite interesting.
• 25:55
  I think I will share with you a little bit of, uh,
• 25:59
  at least the beginning of, of what he said. I don't have any headphones,
• 26:03
  so I can't hear it unless I play it. Um,
• 26:07
  so I will, uh,
• 26:09
  I will listen along with you and, uh, see where we're going to go. Um,
• 26:14
  here we go.
• 26:15
  Authorize the launching of a new type of weapon system,
• 26:18
  an intermediate range ballistic missile called Resnik,
• 26:21
  which has now been dominating a lot of the news out there.
• 26:24
  A lot of people, uh,
• 26:25
  both inside Russia and outside and in the West and in the United States are all
• 26:29
  trying to figure out exactly what this weapon is and what it can do. We,
• 26:33
  we had a professor Ted Postal for MIT on, uh,
• 26:37
  shortly after that, I think like right after the day after to give us an initial
• 26:40
  assessment of what these missiles might be like and what their capabilities are,
• 26:45
  et cetera. Uh, and now then in your intervening time,
• 26:48
  we've had a little bit more time to analyze this.
• 26:50
  And so we have some new ideas about what this thing may be.
• 26:53
  And we have Ted back on with us today, very graciously, uh,
• 26:57
  to give us an update on what some of this, and, uh,
• 27:00
  we're going to look at this in light of some of the claims that have been made
• 27:02
  since you were actually on it. And we'll, uh, examine those in some detail.
• 27:06
  But first of all, uh, professor, welcome back to the show as always.
• 27:09
  Well, it's a great pleasure to be here as always.
• 27:12
  Well, listen, we are, we are always, uh, eager to have you on anyway,
• 27:16
  because you can provide some clarity and at least some,
• 27:18
  some knowledge as opposed to just some, uh,
• 27:21
  opinions that a lot of people are passing without much knowledge, uh,
• 27:24
  which is a welcome change to, to the mainstream narrative. Uh, but, uh,
• 27:29
  before we get into your presentation,
• 27:31
  I want to kind of get a running start by showing you what some people,
• 27:34
  some key people are actually saying about this. First of all,
• 27:37
  one of the claims that Putin is making is that this is a missile that cannot be
• 27:41
  intercepted by current technology.
• 27:51
  Russian.
• 27:56
  Well, I don't know why this part is on there. Sorry about that.
• 28:12
  I meant to speed that up, but I can't hear it in advance.
• 28:16
  So I'm going to skip past him a little bit and get back to where the guy
• 28:20
  is.
• 28:24
  It's not really as bad as what he said, according to Forbes in there,
• 28:27
  they're saying that, um,
• 28:29
  it's basically the equivalent destructive power of a 2000 pound bomb, which is,
• 28:33
  you know, it's not small, but it's not that big a deal.
• 28:36
  It's not all that accurate. So really we don't need to worry about it.
• 28:39
  So we want to know what is the truth is Putin rot is Forbes writers,
• 28:43
  the truth somewhere in between, as far as you can tell.
• 28:47
  Well, uh, it's, uh,
• 28:51
  uh, there's been a lot of, uh, claims made on all sides. Um,
• 28:56
  but I would say that the, uh, uh,
• 29:00
  I have some guesses at the payload capability of the missile,
• 29:04
  which could be between, uh,
• 29:06
  6,000 and 9,000 pounds of total throw weight would throw it is
• 29:12
  what the missile can lift and throw onto a trajectory.
• 29:16
  It is definitely not a boost glide vehicle.
• 29:22
  By that I mean it is not a,
• 29:25
  the rocket motor that launches it toward the target
• 29:30
  places of trajectory on a classical ballistic trajectory.
• 29:35
  I'll show you what those trajectories look like.
• 29:37
  It's what's called a very lofted trajectory because it has a very steep reentry
• 29:43
  angle at the target area. And, um,
• 29:47
  the kinetic energy of the incoming munitions,
• 29:53
  because they come in so fast, uh,
• 29:56
  gets converted to heat when they hit the ground. And, uh,
• 30:00
  and, and that heat, uh, causes the, um,
• 30:05
  the munition to literally turn into a molten metal and vaporize.
• 30:10
  And the vapor is the vapors of course, expand violently,
• 30:14
  much like the vapors in a, in a high explosive.
• 30:17
  And they create, uh, an explosion effect.
• 30:22
  The explosion effect though is comparable to the weight of the munition and TNT
• 30:29
  given the speed.
• 30:30
  It might be one and a half times the weight of the munition,
• 30:34
  or it might be around one times the weight of the munition,
• 30:37
  depending on the actual speed of impact. But the speed of impact is, um,
• 30:42
  uh, is, is between three and three and a half kilometers per second.
• 30:47
  That is to say between Mach nine and Mach 11,
• 30:53
  close to there. And, um, uh,
• 30:56
  and the munition weighs itself between a hundred and 150 pounds.
• 31:01
  So it's like being hit with an explosive, uh,
• 31:06
  that's equivalent to about a hundred, 150 pounds. Uh,
• 31:10
  the munition probably buries itself into the surface a bit by a bit.
• 31:17
  I mean, a meter or two, not,
• 31:18
  this is not penetrating through a big, you know, deep into the ground.
• 31:24
  And in the process,
• 31:25
  in the process of penetrating into the ground, a meter or two,
• 31:30
  and of course becoming vaporized, uh,
• 31:34
  it produces a crater and the crater is a little bit larger than what the
• 31:40
  equivalent, uh, TNT on the surface would produce,
• 31:44
  but the shockwave in the air is a little bit diminished,
• 31:48
  but still significant. So, um, so,
• 31:53
  so you have the equivalent of, um, uh, 66,
• 31:57
  we know there were 66 munitions. We know that for sure.
• 32:00
  I can show you data for that. Okay. And, um, and we,
• 32:05
  and each of the munitions delivers a hundred, 150 pounds of,
• 32:10
  um, of explosive yield comparable to TNT.
• 32:15
  So the,
• 32:17
  the explosive yield of the total payload was between 6,000 and 7,000 and 10,000
• 32:26
  pounds of TNT spread over a significant area though,
• 32:30
  because the munitions fell, uh, in,
• 32:33
  in clusters about roughly 800 meters to a kilometers long to a kilometer long.
• 32:39
  So the munitions fell in a spread, which is not a surprise since they were,
• 32:45
  um, they were released from six separate canisters.
• 32:50
  So we have a very rough picture.
• 32:55
  The exact details we don't know,
• 32:58
  but I believe at this point I could be wrong and I I'll be happy to tell your
• 33:03
  audience I'm wrong as we get to know more. Uh,
• 33:07
  but I could be wrong, but I believe now that, uh,
• 33:11
  we have a good basic, uh, design picture,
• 33:15
  conceptual design picture of this weapon.
• 33:20
  And, um, and the, uh, the conceptual design is,
• 33:25
  um, uh, the details of the conceptual design are not...
• 33:31
  Given a concept of the design of it and showing,
• 33:35
  showing some slides of it. And, uh, I,
• 33:39
  you know what I think I'm going to do since there were some new Resnik strikes
• 33:43
  over the, over the weekend that I wanted to talk about in a couple of other
• 33:48
  things. This, um, Resnik strikes shows the inside and he has one,
• 33:53
  says it's a, uh, six tubes of six different,
• 33:59
  uh, gas supply modes or whatever the, the fuel is,
• 34:04
  the ignition fuel that goes in that pushes them out. And he wasn't, he,
• 34:08
  he does, doesn't know what that is. They showed some, uh,
• 34:11
  some remains of what, uh,
• 34:13
  they had collected from the crash site or from the impact site of these weapons
• 34:19
  and where they, uh, and where they hit and what they did. And it's, uh,
• 34:24
  it's now, of course,
• 34:26
  that's quite interesting to me to check these things out because I'm interested
• 34:30
  in the Resnik in the ballistic capabilities of it in the non-ballistic
• 34:34
  capabilities, because the Russians claim to have that loitering munition as well.
• 34:39
  The one that they shoot from their, uh, uh,
• 34:42
  I forget what that one was called, uh, that they shoot from the, uh,
• 34:46
  from the ships that has the nuclear, uh,
• 34:50
  power portion that that part can linger and can hover for a good long time,
• 34:57
  uh, with virtually unlimited amount of, uh,
• 35:03
  of tracking. There's like an unlimited missile.
• 35:06
  Oh, they said it was tracking for more than 15 hours when I did that, uh,
• 35:11
  last week. So, or last month, I mean, and there are plenty of, uh, you know,
• 35:17
  plenty of people talking about those two missiles. And over the weekend,
• 35:22
  there was a, uh, more strikes.
• 35:25
  Where is the Resnik that they have been talking about too and said that it hit a
• 35:35
  place where, uh,
• 35:40
  in three days ago,
• 35:42
  they said that the struck back, uh, after, you know,
• 35:47
  the, the Putin residents and this hit,
• 35:51
  they say they hit in, uh,
• 35:55
  an, uh, an airplane facility where they were storing, uh,
• 36:00
  F-16s and, uh,
• 36:02
  airplane parts and manufacturing apparatus and all of this for,
• 36:08
  for air airplanes, military aircraft.
• 36:12
  And so that, uh, has been pretty, um,
• 36:19
  pretty big news over the weekend is the Resnik.
• 36:22
  And I think that, uh,
• 36:26
  Russia is here. Here's the, the story is actually came out.
• 36:32
  Let's see here.
• 36:35
  Disabled a Ukrainian war plane plant is what they say.
• 36:41
  And it was in Lviv and, uh,
• 36:43
  services F-16s and mig 29s and produces drones is what they say.
• 36:50
  So the Russian strike that used the Resnik last week disabled a Ukrainian
• 36:56
  aviation plant repairing and servicing war planes and producing long range
• 37:02
  drones. And a statement on Monday,
• 37:05
  the ministry said citing several independent sources that the attack hit the
• 37:11
  facility,
• 37:12
  which supported the operations of Ukrainian Soviet air war planes as well as
• 37:17
  Western supplied F-16s. And, and, uh, they,
• 37:21
  these drones were used for strikes against Russian civilian targets deep inside
• 37:26
  the territory of the Russian Federation. Uh,
• 37:29
  they said it was a production workshop storage facility that held finished
• 37:35
  drones and infrastructure at the plants airfield. Uh,
• 37:39
  they note that the same attack involved Iskander and Kaliber missiles,
• 37:44
  uh, as well. Uh,
• 37:46
  some of the projectiles also hit energy infrastructure. Uh,
• 37:51
  Kiev has not commented on the scope of the damage,
• 37:54
  but the mayor of Lviv, Andrei Sadovoy, uh,
• 37:59
  confirmed that a piece of critical infrastructure had been hit.
• 38:03
  And last week Moscow said the bombardment was in response to an attempted
• 38:08
  terrorist attack on the residents of the Russian prime minister,
• 38:13
  uh, uh, Russian president, I mean Putin in Novgorod.
• 38:18
  And, uh, Ukraine launched 91 drones toward his house.
• 38:24
  So I don't know. There's been a lot of discussion on this, but, uh,
• 38:29
  right now the whole world, in my opinion, is a bit of a mess on, uh,
• 38:35
  because of what we're doing. And, uh, there's been so much, um,
• 38:42
  bad commentary everywhere in the world over what, uh,
• 38:46
  Trump is doing, uh, including amongst, uh,
• 38:53
  European, uh, so-called allies as well.
• 38:57
  And, uh, you know, he's, he, I, I think he's, um, you know,
• 39:02
  I, I would say something like gone off the deep end,
• 39:04
  but I think this is truly planned. And, uh,
• 39:08
  he now is telling Cuba to act before it's too late,
• 39:14
  was what he said. Uh, most recently, um,
• 39:18
  he said that Cuba is no longer going to receive Venezuelan oil or money.
• 39:24
  And he warned the island to make a deal with Washington before it's too late.
• 39:30
  And, uh,
• 39:32
  Cuba is a close ally of Venezuela and a beneficiary of its oil has seen supplies
• 39:39
  dry up since January.
• 39:42
  Shipping data show no crude cargos have left Venezuela for the island since
• 39:47
  Nicholas Maduro was kidnapped by American forces,
• 39:52
  um, because the U S oil blockade has, uh, halted those deliveries.
• 39:57
  And so Trump says to puts on true social where he puts everything, uh,
• 40:03
  there will be no more oil or money going to Cuba.
• 40:06
  Zero Trump wrote on true social Sunday said that Cuba lived for many years on
• 40:14
  large amounts of all caps oil and all caps money from Venezuela.
• 40:20
  I strongly suggest they make a deal all caps again before it's too late.
• 40:25
  He added, people say you're not supposed to use a caps when you're typing on
• 40:32
  social media cause that means you're yelling at people. Uh,
• 40:35
  dozens of Venezuelan and Cuban security personnel were killed in the U S raid
• 40:40
  this month after Trump said Cuba was ready to fall and cited the islands deep
• 40:46
  economic crisis and warned that Havana would struggle to endure without
• 40:51
  subsidized Venezuelan oil and Cuban president Miguel Diaz Canal rejected Trump's
• 40:58
  threat saying Washington has no moral authority to impose deals on Havana.
• 41:04
  Cuba is free, independent and sovereign. Nobody dictates what we do.
• 41:08
  He wrote on X on Sunday,
• 41:10
  I guess everybody's using social media for their,
• 41:15
  for their, uh, diplomacy, huh?
• 41:18
  And he added that the island had been under us attack for decades and will
• 41:22
  defend itself if necessary.
• 41:25
  Caracas and Washington are reportedly moving toward a $2 billion deal under
• 41:31
  which Venezuela will supply 50 million barrels of crude to the US with proceeds
• 41:37
  to be held in treasury supervised accounts.
• 41:42
  I tell you what, we're, we're pretty open about our thievery.
• 41:46
  We're just taking it. That's it. And, uh, and, and I just,
• 41:52
  doesn't anyone question this? Does anyone? It's,
• 41:56
  it's pretty weird because if, if Trump is doing this, this is, this is all right.
• 42:00
  Well, why can't he supervise everything? I mean,
• 42:02
  why aren't we all basically just his, his minions, you know,
• 42:07
  and he, he, you know,
• 42:09
  Papa Trump can do everything for the rest of the world. And I'm not,
• 42:14
  you know, I just am offended by this, uh,
• 42:17
  presumption all the way around that we just get to tell people what to do.
• 42:23
  I just, it's, it's an American. I mean, it really is. And,
• 42:28
  and I don't like it. Senior Trump officials,
• 42:31
  including Marco Rubio made clear they believe the U S in for intervention in
• 42:36
  Venezuela could push Cuba to the brink.
• 42:39
  American rhetoric toward Havana has sharpened in recent weeks for sure.
• 42:44
  And the U S has kept a comprehensive trade embargo on the Caribbean nation since
• 42:49
  the sixties while Obama and Biden took steps to normalize relations.
• 42:54
  Trump reinstated Cuba on the U S list of sponsors of terrorism.
• 43:00
  And, uh, you know, that's how you justify, uh,
• 43:05
  being able to, uh, to, uh,
• 43:10
  attack them. And, uh, you know,
• 43:13
  you just justify Greenland by saying their defense is just two dog sleds.
• 43:18
  So why wouldn't we, you know, they only have 70,000 people.
• 43:21
  Why wouldn't we just assimilate them? We're like the Borg collective.
• 43:26
  You will be assimilated. That's it.
• 43:29
  We're just, you will be, whether you want to or not,
• 43:33
  you will be assimilated and that's that. Um,
• 43:39
  we we're,
• 43:43
  we're definitely talking tough, aren't we? So Ethiopia,
• 43:49
  Ethiopia is building Africa's largest airport.
• 43:53
  If you didn't hear about that, this is a pretty big deal.
• 43:57
  They've begun an international airport to open in 2030 and it will be Africa's
• 44:04
  largest airport. Uh,
• 44:08
  it'll be the largest aviation infrastructure project in African history.
• 44:13
  The first phase of the airport will handle 60 million passengers a year with an
• 44:21
  ultimate master plan capacity of 110 million passengers annually.
• 44:28
  Ultimately, uh, four runways, 270 aircraft,
• 44:33
  which exceeds the capacity of the current main international airport at Addis
• 44:39
  Ababa,
• 44:40
  Bali international with around 25 million passengers a year.
• 44:45
  And uh, wow, this is pretty cool.
• 44:48
  But the funding is coming from a mix of sources,
• 44:51
  including Ethiopian airlines, international financiers,
• 44:56
  the African development bank,
• 44:58
  according to the airlines infrastructure development and planning, Abraham,
• 45:02
  uh, test fire. Yeah. The national character,
• 45:06
  Kerry carrier will contribute 30% of the project cost.
• 45:12
  So these are, uh,
• 45:13
  several other large infrastructure and industrial initiatives launched in
• 45:17
  Ethiopia in recent months. It's pretty cool stuff, uh,
• 45:21
  that they are growing. Um,
• 45:26
  I read a, uh, an article that, um,
• 45:33
  was published almost a week ago,
• 45:39
  actually, that was, uh,
• 45:42
  and an opinion piece that was a pretty good,
• 45:48
  a pretty good article, but it's pretty long.
• 45:52
  And they interviewed a bunch of people about,
• 45:56
  um, about the,
• 46:03
  uh, theater of the American, uh,
• 46:08
  kidnapping of Maduro. And,
• 46:13
  uh, you know, they go, we go in and kidnapping in the,
• 46:16
  in the title of the article is called it's the show was for everyone,
• 46:23
  not just Latin America.
• 46:25
  And it's a whole slew of Russian experts that assessed the Trump Venezuela
• 46:33
  a, you know, freak show. And,
• 46:37
  and what we did down there as a, as a country, I mean,
• 46:42
  um,
• 46:44
  it's basically aimed at Latin America and trying to maintain,
• 46:51
  you know, like everyone knows us hegemony, uh,
• 46:55
  for another period of time, whether it's, you know,
• 46:59
  just another four years, maybe just a Trump administration,
• 47:03
  maybe for good. Um, I do believe that Trump realized that, uh,
• 47:08
  or realizes as does his entire team, that if, uh,
• 47:13
  we don't act now, the,
• 47:19
  the speed with which America becomes less influential will be quicker.
• 47:28
  So if you want America to still be top dog and,
• 47:34
  and still have no rules that, uh, you know, apply to us,
• 47:38
  we just apply them to everybody else.
• 47:41
  You have to continue to act in this way.
• 47:43
  So we have to be somewhat tyrannical in order to force the world to recognize
• 47:50
  that we're still in charge. And that's,
• 47:52
  what's happening is, is the basics of all of this, that, uh,
• 47:57
  you know, we have to put people in their proper places.
• 48:01
  You know, who's in charge and it's not you.
• 48:04
  And so we have to dictate that to people by picking on little guys and, uh,
• 48:09
  we pick on the little guys, steal their stuff.
• 48:12
  And hopefully that gives the bigger guys the idea that, you know,
• 48:16
  we really don't want a world war right now. And, uh,
• 48:21
  you know, we can't take them right now.
• 48:24
  So basically this is a buying time,
• 48:28
  um, effort by the Trump administration.
• 48:33
  And, uh, it was, it was interesting.
• 48:36
  They interviewed a guy, uh, from the New York Bureau,
• 48:41
  um, of, of, uh, international newspaper,
• 48:46
  guy named Valentin Bogdanov. Uh,
• 48:50
  we interviewed him for a while. Anastasia, Anastasia Gafarova,
• 48:55
  who's a political analyst and a deputy director for the center of
• 48:59
  political information was interviewed.
• 49:02
  Maxim Sukhov the director of international and international studies at,
• 49:06
  uh, uh, Moscow state university was in there. Uh,
• 49:10
  they interviewed Dmitry Rosenthal,
• 49:13
  the director of the Institute of Latin America at the Russian Academy of
• 49:17
  Sciences, Fyodor Lukyanov,
• 49:19
  editor in chief of Russian global affairs, Timothy Bordachov,
• 49:24
  professor of the higher school of economics,
• 49:27
  Ivan Timofeev program director at Valdai,
• 49:31
  Konstantin Kosachev deputy speaker of the federation council.
• 49:36
  And, uh, it's a very interesting article. And, um, I,
• 49:40
  I, uh,
• 49:42
  tend to agree with a lot of the things in there. It was, uh,
• 49:47
  who's the guy that ended up written it, writing it. Um,
• 49:51
  it could have been written by a team of people because it doesn't have a major
• 49:57
  byline on there. Um,
• 50:00
  and they just said, no, it doesn't have, doesn't have a byline of who it was.
• 50:05
  And then, uh, but, but, you know,
• 50:08
  I may share part of that with you on a few of the, uh, you know, later today,
• 50:12
  we shall see, um, in today's show, but I wanted to get to, uh,
• 50:18
  the Ukraine war, go back there just a little bit,
• 50:23
  because, uh, Trump is now saying, uh,
• 50:25
  that Zelensky had no cards from day one yesterday.
• 50:29
  I heard that we're coming up with that, that, you know,
• 50:32
  since Trump is now a wartime president, uh, that he has come up with,
• 50:37
  get this $800 billion that they are supposed to meet and give $800 billion
• 50:48
  of American money to Ukraine. Uh,
• 50:52
  and so Trump is, you know, I think if this happens,
• 50:58
  he is fully behind the, uh,
• 51:02
  Lindsey Graham types of the world and, uh,
• 51:06
  fully with them. If he gives this money, you know, for a losing effort,
• 51:11
  um, Ukraine, Zelensky, according to the, this article, um,
• 51:16
  which was over the weekend. In fact, it was today. Uh,
• 51:20
  Ukraine's Zelensky has no cards to negotiate peace with Russia said Trump.
• 51:25
  He made the remarks at a New York times interview released Sunday and discuss
• 51:31
  us mediation efforts.
• 51:33
  These include a leaked 28 point peace plan that we talked about extensively
• 51:38
  here, envisioning Kiev seeding the remainder of the Donbass to Russia,
• 51:43
  uh, renouncing its NATO ambition and capping its military.
• 51:48
  Now nobody wants to force that anymore.
• 51:53
  And all the talk has been, you know, crazy.
• 51:56
  The plan has been criticized by Kiev and Western backers and it was later cut to
• 52:01
  20 points, but key issues remain unresolved with Zelensky reluctant, uh,
• 52:07
  to concede the territory. Um,
• 52:12
  the interviewer said,
• 52:14
  you famously sat in this room and told Zelensky you don't have the cards said
• 52:20
  the interviewer of Trump referring to his white house spat with Ukrainian leader
• 52:24
  last year. He didn't have them.
• 52:28
  Then does he have them now was the question. He said, well,
• 52:32
  he doesn't have the cards. Trump replied.
• 52:34
  He didn't have them from day one. He's only got one thing.
• 52:39
  Donald Trump. I, you know,
• 52:45
  you can't make this stuff up. Donald Trump is, you know,
• 52:51
  everything reason revolves around him.
• 52:54
  I created the, you know, member Obama. I built that business. You know,
• 52:58
  I built it. Everything is Donald Trump. Well, this never would. I mean,
• 53:02
  how many times do we have to hear that this war never would have happened if I'd
• 53:05
  have been in office? Well, if it wasn't for Joe Biden, this wouldn't happen.
• 53:09
  If it wasn't that for that idiot that was running the country before,
• 53:12
  but now it's me. So everything is grant. I'm so tired of hearing that.
• 53:16
  Can we just talk about present issues without glorifying yourself and
• 53:23
  demonizing someone else, please.
• 53:26
  I just want to talk about the issue.
• 53:29
  Leave the extraneous bullshit off please.
• 53:33
  And he cannot do it. He just cannot.
• 53:36
  And Trump insisted his mediation is crucial for the peace process.
• 53:41
  Hasn't worked so far and claimed that it had helped prevent a far wider crisis.
• 53:47
  Really? What wider crisis has he prevented?
• 53:51
  The thing that would have been a total disaster and Zelensky knows it and the
• 53:56
  European leaders know it. If I wasn't involved, really,
• 54:00
  I think it would have evolved into a third world war.
• 54:03
  That won't happen anymore. Is that true? I'm not so positive of that either.
• 54:08
  He's a, he's pushing escalation everywhere.
• 54:12
  And I'm thinking that there's more chance right now of their escalation in this
• 54:20
  in both on both sides, pressed on the timelines for peace.
• 54:24
  Trump was of course noncommittal now before it was,
• 54:28
  I could have that done in a day. And he said, we're doing the best we can now.
• 54:33
  I don't have a timeline.
• 54:36
  I just would like to see the war end. He stated,
• 54:40
  adding that both president Vladimir Putin and Zelensky appear willing to settle,
• 54:45
  but we'll find out.
• 54:48
  Last month Trump met Zelensky in Miami and said a peace deal was 95% ready.
• 54:55
  Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov later echoed that assessment.
• 55:01
  Um,
• 55:02
  however, given its backers from the so-called coalition of the willing,
• 55:08
  a group of Western States pushing continued support for Ukraine have since
• 55:12
  agreed to deploy troops to the country as a post deal security guarantee,
• 55:17
  which Russia will never go for despite Russia's repeated rejection of foreign
• 55:23
  forces near its borders.
• 55:24
  US envoy Steve Whitcoff did not confirm any American role in Trump previously
• 55:31
  ruled out us troops in Ukraine.
• 55:33
  Moscow has condemned this plan with ministry spokesman Maria Zakharova warning
• 55:40
  last week that any Western troop deployment in Ukraine will be treated as a
• 55:46
  foreign invasion. Um,
• 55:50
  so there you go. Uh,
• 55:54
  meanwhile there's been a call in the EU for a permanent European army.
• 56:02
  Have you heard about this? This guy, now they want, instead of NATO,
• 56:06
  they want a permanent European army. And you know, when I read this,
• 56:11
  I thought this was a, uh, uh,
• 56:14
  an interesting idea because right now the army in Europe is the US army.
• 56:21
  It's us, you know, the largest force is us and Poland's closer.
• 56:25
  Poland might be slightly larger, but uh, you know,
• 56:29
  we supply the military force for NATO and uh,
• 56:34
  you know, I think Trump rightly so is attempting to reduce,
• 56:38
  um, the need for us to supply everything.
• 56:45
  You know, this 5% push, uh,
• 56:47
  for NATO members to have their budget to supply the military and for us to
• 56:55
  somewhat back off the role of supply and a hundred percent of the,
• 56:59
  of the military might inside of Europe is,
• 57:04
  um, kind of a big deal. And so this article, um,
• 57:09
  guy named Andreas Kubelius,
• 57:12
  the E said the EU must create a 100,000 strong standing army to make military
• 57:20
  decisions independently of the US and NATO.
• 57:26
  This was defense commissioner Andreas. He's the defense commissioner of NATO.
• 57:30
  Washington still maintains around the same number of troops in Europe.
• 57:35
  We have about a hundred thousand in Europe.
• 57:37
  Speaking at a security conference in Sweden on Sunday,
• 57:41
  he argued that the EU must pivot from fragmented national armies to an
• 57:47
  integrated force. This is actually a, in my opinion, a good idea.
• 57:52
  So we need to go, but, but I don't know how they would handle the language part.
• 57:56
  You know, um, I assume they'd have to figure something out like that,
• 58:01
  but we need to go for a big bang in defense.
• 58:04
  He said we need to invest our money so that we could fight as Europe,
• 58:09
  not just as 27 national banzai armies citing French president Macron and former
• 58:16
  German chancellor Angela Merkel.
• 58:19
  Kubelius noted they were speaking very similar words 10 years ago that Europe
• 58:24
  must be more independent and autonomous.
• 58:27
  And even that we need to have a European army,
• 58:30
  a powerful standing European military force of a hundred thousand troops.
• 58:36
  Um,
• 58:37
  he called for an overhaul of Europe's military governance and proposed a 10 to
• 58:43
  12 member European security council to make EU wide defense decisions with the
• 58:49
  UK participating,
• 58:51
  even though it's not part of the block any longer.
• 58:54
  Kubelius suggested that the changes are necessary in light of the threat
• 58:59
  allegedly posed by Russia,
• 59:00
  which he claims will continue with the war economy even after Ukraine conflict
• 59:06
  is no more.
• 59:08
  Moscow dismissed these claims as nonsense and are distracting Europeans from
• 59:14
  domestic problems of their own and justify, uh, you know,
• 59:18
  they use these threats to justify military budgets in Europe and warned that EU's
• 59:24
  militarization drive risks escalating tension.
• 59:29
  Kubelius said the changes are urgent given the US shift in foreign policy under
• 59:36
  Trump.
• 59:37
  Well that's temporary because you know that as soon as he's gone from office,
• 59:41
  uh,
• 59:41
  the Republican or the Democrat are all going to go right back to the way it was
• 59:46
  pre Trump.
• 59:48
  That's what's going to happen and you don't have to believe that.
• 59:52
  And you might think that's a, you know,
• 59:55
  something, uh,
• 59:57
  horrible to say, but that's unfortunately what's going to happen.
• 1:00:02
  You know,
• 1:00:03
  whether Europe goes to 5% or not,
• 1:00:06
  we're going to go right back to the way things used to be.
• 1:00:11
  Everybody's going to breathe a big sigh of relief in the military industrial
• 1:00:15
  complex. Although Lindsey Graham wins this round anyway.
• 1:00:20
  Um, you know, on, he, he, he'll win under any,
• 1:00:24
  under any administration because this is where the money comes from for all these
• 1:00:28
  people. And it's always about the money. Don't you remember your, um,
• 1:00:33
  Oh brother, where art thou? It's always about the money.
• 1:00:38
  Remember the guy beating him up over lunch?
• 1:00:42
  Thank you for throwing in that fricassee. I'm a man, a large appetite.
• 1:00:47
  Remember that? Um, but anyway, he said, the Kubelius said,
• 1:00:51
  now it's even more clear that we need to build Europe's independence.
• 1:00:57
  Uncertainty of the future of the transatlantic partnership demands our resolve.
• 1:01:04
  And as the key NATO power,
• 1:01:06
  the U S has a hundred thousand troops in Europe and Trump said deployments could
• 1:01:11
  be reduced, but he denied a full withdrawal.
• 1:01:14
  But he stressed that a continued U S commitment depends on the 5% GDP,
• 1:01:19
  uh, promise, you know, and this is what they got to pay.
• 1:01:24
  And, uh, he is, you know, moved that in Germany's, um,
• 1:01:30
  Mertz said something pretty similar. If you remember that, um,
• 1:01:35
  this was, um, last month, remember this?
• 1:01:38
  He said that the decades of the Pax Americana are largely over in Europe and
• 1:01:45
  for Germany as well.
• 1:01:48
  It no longer exists in the way we knew it.
• 1:01:51
  Americans are now very, very firmly pursuing their own interests.
• 1:01:57
  And he said that shifting us priorities mean that the EU has to focus more on its
• 1:02:03
  own competitiveness and defense.
• 1:02:06
  And he also claims this Russian threat.
• 1:02:10
  Everybody talks about the Russian threat and I think they're better neighbors
• 1:02:15
  than you guys are. You guys are, uh, frankly,
• 1:02:19
  not very good neighbors. Um,
• 1:02:23
  let's see what else can we share with you today? Excuse me.
• 1:02:28
  Running a bit here. Uh,
• 1:02:32
  let's see. I wanted to,
• 1:02:36
  it was that the eighth that that a rash Nick strike came out.
• 1:02:41
  Um, and there was a,
• 1:02:46
  some interesting video about it on the eighth that,
• 1:02:50
  that came out. So what was the eighth? Uh, Thursday,
• 1:02:55
  I think, or what is today? Today's, today's the 12th, isn't it?
• 1:02:59
  And so, uh, I think the eighth was, uh, was Friday.
• 1:03:05
  And so they had some good video of it that showed,
• 1:03:11
  it looked like a part of it looked like a gas storage facility when I was
• 1:03:15
  watching it because it looked like it was a underground fit footage and CCTV
• 1:03:21
  footage. It was shared on Friday,
• 1:03:23
  showed bright projectiles landing in a Wolf, which, uh,
• 1:03:28
  it's a border of Poland. So it's pretty far West. And, uh,
• 1:03:32
  it was unconfirmed at the time, but it's confirmed now.
• 1:03:36
  And, uh, wave mayor, uh, Andre Sadovoy said,
• 1:03:40
  a piece of critical infrastructure was hit, but on Russian telegram,
• 1:03:45
  they said it was an underground gas facility in the city of Street,
• 1:03:50
  which is about 60 kilometers from a Wolf. And it would,
• 1:03:55
  if it was confirmed, it would be the second one. Now they say it was a,
• 1:04:00
  an air, uh, air defense, um,
• 1:04:04
  uh, air aircraft parts facility. And, uh,
• 1:04:09
  that there's been a lot of news about how Russia hasn't used any of these
• 1:04:16
  except, and this is only the second strike.
• 1:04:19
  And so they were wondering if the first was only a test or if the expense of
• 1:04:27
  these missiles is so, uh,
• 1:04:30
  great that they haven't produced all that many.
• 1:04:36
  Now, what I shared with you a couple of months ago or weeks ago,
• 1:04:41
  I don't remember when we, we were talking about, um,
• 1:04:47
  how many there, you know,
• 1:04:48
  them be how many they're going to produce and how fast they can produce them.
• 1:04:52
  And that, uh,
• 1:04:54
  we expected them to start putting them out as a regular part of the,
• 1:05:00
  of the arsenal and releasing them, uh,
• 1:05:04
  for full production in early 2026.
• 1:05:09
  Well, this is real early 2026.
• 1:05:11
  The first one went out on December or I'm sorry,
• 1:05:16
  January the 8th. So four days ago. And, um,
• 1:05:21
  that is pretty early.
• 1:05:23
  And Russia has indicated that they're going to have these in full production
• 1:05:27
  mode, uh, for early, um,
• 1:05:31
  2026. So
• 1:05:35
  right now they are probably, uh, every night, you know,
• 1:05:40
  last night I watched a report that said there were 140 plus or minus,
• 1:05:45
  uh, strikes, um,
• 1:05:48
  across Ukraine by missiles, drones,
• 1:05:53
  uh, and other, you know,
• 1:05:56
  aircraft shots during the night,
• 1:05:59
  night before similar number night before similar number.
• 1:06:03
  It's like almost every single night and they pick different regions. Uh,
• 1:06:08
  last night it was Odessa in Kiev. And then, uh, the, you know,
• 1:06:12
  this night
• 1:06:15
  when this Resnik hit on the 8th,
• 1:06:19
  it was the evolve in the Western Ukraine.
• 1:06:24
  Um, so Odessa has been hit repeatedly and, and,
• 1:06:28
  and Russia is continuing to strike Odessa and take out, uh, they,
• 1:06:33
  they hit a ship in the, in the port, uh, yesterday as well.
• 1:06:37
  There was a ship that they hit.
• 1:06:39
  And so this is a pretty good story about that, that, uh,
• 1:06:42
  showed what they had hit in the port and how they're attacking, uh,
• 1:06:47
  all of the things that are supplying the Ukrainian army or the arms,
• 1:06:53
  you know, the military industrial complex with parts. Uh,
• 1:06:58
  meanwhile, England is, uh, you know,
• 1:07:01
  Britain is allegedly, uh,
• 1:07:03
  making plans to start building its missiles inside of Ukraine that will go 500
• 1:07:11
  kilometers, which will hit, will be able to hit Moscow.
• 1:07:16
  So all of the things that I see,
• 1:07:19
  everything that I've been watching,
• 1:07:22
  and I've been hoping that this war would end and will go away.
• 1:07:28
  Unfortunately, I believe that's a pipe dream. I don't think it's going away.
• 1:07:33
  If anything,
• 1:07:34
  I say that it is probably in the way of escalation.
• 1:07:41
  And it is unfortunate to me.
• 1:07:47
  And I, I'm, I just don't like it.
• 1:07:51
  Uh, and, and I don't think,
• 1:07:54
  I don't think the war will settle this year either.
• 1:07:59
  I think we need to settle in for a longterm war and keep on going.
• 1:08:06
  Uh, not that I want to, I don't,
• 1:08:09
  but we aren't making any efforts to stop it.
• 1:08:12
  And with everything that we are doing in the West,
• 1:08:17
  there ain't no way that Russia is just gonna, um,
• 1:08:22
  um, stop, you know,
• 1:08:25
  inside of Ukraine based upon the things that the, that the West is doing,
• 1:08:30
  especially with the talk about this, uh,
• 1:08:33
  800 billion allegedly going to, uh,
• 1:08:38
  Ukraine from the U S in 2026.
• 1:08:42
  It's actually like a 10 year plan of 80 billion a year is what they were talking
• 1:08:47
  about yesterday.
• 1:08:49
  And, uh, that is unfortunate if, if that is the way we go.
• 1:08:54
  Um, I'm going to try to share two more stories with you.
• 1:09:00
  One from January 9th and one from the 10th.
• 1:09:05
  And, uh, there, what, um, they're both fairly long,
• 1:09:10
  um, articles.
• 1:09:13
  And this one is written by a Canadian
• 1:09:17
  independent journalist and her name is Ava Bartlett.
• 1:09:24
  And the,
• 1:09:26
  the title of her article is called here's who really weaponizes children in the
• 1:09:33
  Russia, Ukraine conflict as the accusations of abductions resurface.
• 1:09:40
  It's clear the West doesn't care about the facts on the ground if they
• 1:09:46
  contradict the narrative.
• 1:09:48
  And this is a Canadian lady and I believe similarly.
• 1:09:53
  And so I thought I'd share this with you one more time because, uh, it's,
• 1:09:58
  it's part of the rhetoric of nonsense that has been cast across the West all the
• 1:10:06
  time that they, you know,
• 1:10:08
  that Russia has stolen 20,000 children and it's just nonsense.
• 1:10:12
  It's crazy. And, uh, for the last three years, uh, this is,
• 1:10:18
  this is her article for the last three years,
• 1:10:21
  Ukraine and concerted legacy media campaigns have been screaming that Russia
• 1:10:28
  has abducted or forcibly displaced thousands of Ukrainian children,
• 1:10:34
  even up to 1.5 million.
• 1:10:38
  The accusations resurged in December with a UN General Assembly vote on a draft
• 1:10:45
  resolution on the return of Ukrainian children.
• 1:10:49
  During the meeting,
• 1:10:51
  Ukraine's deputy foreign minister Mariana Beza once again pushed claims that at
• 1:10:59
  least 20,000 Ukrainian children have been deported to Russia in spite of the
• 1:11:06
  fact that months prior during the June Istanbul talks,
• 1:11:11
  the Ukrainian side finally provided a list of the children.
• 1:11:15
  It accused Russia of abducting 339 children in total,
• 1:11:21
  surprisingly far fewer than the number they have alleged for years.
• 1:11:27
  The absence of over 19,500 on the list indeed leads to many questions.
• 1:11:34
  Mainly is Ukraine lying again?
• 1:11:38
  Recall that in 2022 the accusations by now former Ukrainian ombudswoman Ludmila
• 1:11:44
  Denisova about sexual atrocities allegedly committed by Russian soldiers were
• 1:11:51
  revealed to be lies and propaganda so much so that Denise of a was sacked.
• 1:11:58
  But before her dismissal,
• 1:11:59
  legacy media and the UN all backed those lies.
• 1:12:05
  Some recent accusations are that children are being sent to labor camps in
• 1:12:10
  Russia.
• 1:12:12
  165 reeducation camps where Ukrainian children are militarized and rucified or
• 1:12:20

• 1:12:28
  regional center for human rights told the US committee on state foreign
• 1:12:33
  operations and reload related programs on December 3rd.
• 1:12:38
  The footnotes of the claims made by rush of sky instead of the source of for the
• 1:12:44
  information say the regional human rights center can provide information upon
• 1:12:49
  request. In other words,
• 1:12:52
  her sources are trust me bro regarding the North Korean camp in question,
• 1:12:59
  if two Russian teens were sent there,
• 1:13:02
  they'd potentially be made to enjoy water slides,
• 1:13:05
  basketball and volleyball courts, an arcade room,
• 1:13:09
  a rock climbing wall, art and performance halls,
• 1:13:12
  an archery range, a private beach and hikes in the mountains.
• 1:13:17
  Regarding the list of 339 children,
• 1:13:21
  Ukraine says were abducted by Russia.
• 1:13:23
  Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria's a hot of a remarked 30% of the
• 1:13:30
  names on the list could not be verified as most of those children were never in
• 1:13:36
  Russia are now adults or have already returned to their families.
• 1:13:42
  As for the Ukrainian children who are actually in our country,
• 1:13:46
  they are under state care in appropriate institutions.
• 1:13:49
  They are safe for now. In many cases,
• 1:13:53
  their evacuation from combat zones saved their lives.
• 1:13:57
  Local children rights commissioners are now working to reunite them with their
• 1:14:02
  relatives.
• 1:14:04
  Just as legacy media has whitewashed the eight years of Ukraine's war against
• 1:14:10
  Donbass civilians prior to Russia commencing its military operation in 2022
• 1:14:17
  including the Ukrainian shelling that killed 250 children,
• 1:14:23
  starting in 2014 media likewise ignore the children Russia says are missing.
• 1:14:29
  During talks in Istanbul, Zakharova noted,
• 1:14:33
  the Russia side presented Ukraine with a list of 20 Russian children who are
• 1:14:38
  either currently in Ukraine or relocated from Ukraine to Western Europe,
• 1:14:43
  including the countries that endorsed this very statement.
• 1:14:47
  Now the burden falls on these states to provide Russia with a substantive
• 1:14:52
  response regarding our list of 20 children.
• 1:14:59
  Over a recently Donbass based journalist,
• 1:15:02
  Crystal Niant wrote about a report published in a pro Ukrainian website that
• 1:15:09
  broke the story of 510 Ukrainian children who had been evacuated by Ukrainian
• 1:15:16
  oligarch in 2022 from Dnepropetrovsk to Turkey where the benevolent foundation
• 1:15:23
  which brought them there allegedly allowed its staff to beat the children,
• 1:15:28
  sexually assault them and deny them food if they refuse to perform on camera to
• 1:15:33
  raise funds for their lodging.
• 1:15:36
  These are some of the reported violations of these orphans rights.
• 1:15:40
  The details of the report show that the children suffered physically and
• 1:15:44
  psychologically.
• 1:15:45
  Additionally,
• 1:15:46
  two underage teens were impregnated by staff at the hotel they stayed in with
• 1:15:52
  educators allegedly aware of the interactions.
• 1:15:55
  According to Niant,
• 1:15:57
  the orphanage director's response to the fact that one of the teens in her care
• 1:16:01
  became pregnant was to blame the girl.
• 1:16:04
  This young girl comes from an asocial family.
• 1:16:07
  Well,
• 1:16:08
  this way of life is already inscribed in every cell in the blood of these
• 1:16:12
  children.
• 1:16:14
  In almost 10 years of work in Donbass,
• 1:16:18
  Niant wrote,
• 1:16:18
  I've conducted or filmed many humanitarian missions to orphanages in the
• 1:16:23
  region and never,
• 1:16:25
  ever have I heard a director make such vile remarks about one of the children in
• 1:16:31
  her care.
• 1:16:32
  Even the most difficult and recalcitrant were cared for with pedagogy,
• 1:16:38
  love and patience.
• 1:16:41
  Ukraine hunting down children.
• 1:16:43
  In April,
• 1:16:44
  2023,
• 1:16:45
  Christelle Niant and I interviewed our Tyumov civilians who had been recently
• 1:16:50
  rescued by Russian soldiers.
• 1:16:52
  In addition to being deliberately shelled by Ukrainian forces who knew they were
• 1:16:57
  sheltering in the basement of a residential building,
• 1:17:00
  the civilians we spoke to told us about Ukrainian military police hunting for
• 1:17:06
  children.
• 1:17:07
  The evacuees told us some of these police went by the name of white angels and
• 1:17:13
  were taking children away without the consent or that of their parents.
• 1:17:19
  Around that time,
• 1:17:20
  more reports came out about these abductions or attempted abductions,
• 1:17:25
  including an 11 year old girl who spoke of how the white angels who introduced
• 1:17:31
  themselves as military police came to the basement.
• 1:17:35
  She was sheltering in with a photo of her looking for her and saying they needed
• 1:17:41
  to take her away because Russia killed her mother.
• 1:17:45
  According to the girl,
• 1:17:47
  her mother was alive and with her.
• 1:17:50
  Reports of these abductions also emerged in Avdeevka, Kupyansk,
• 1:17:55
  Slavyansk, Chasov Yar and Konstantinovka as well as in Ukrainsk and Zheleznaya.
• 1:18:02
  Niant wrote of a July,
• 1:18:04
  2023 conference on Ukraine's crimes against the Donbass children in which
• 1:18:09
  Lilia and her daughter Kira from Shasta in the Lugansk People's Republic spoke.
• 1:18:16
  They gave evidence of how here's the quote at the state of the special military
• 1:18:23
  opera. I'm sorry.
• 1:18:24
  The start of the special military operation when you came controlled Shasta,
• 1:18:29
  around 10 children were taken from a school in Shasta to Western Ukraine by the
• 1:18:34
  head mistress of the school on orders from Kiev without informing their parents.
• 1:18:40
  The children were even forbidden to call their parents.
• 1:18:44
  She wrote,
• 1:18:45
  but Kira knew her mother's telephone number by heart and managed to call her to
• 1:18:49
  let her know they were in Lviv and then Koost.
• 1:18:52
  Thanks to Lilia's determination to find her daughter.
• 1:18:56
  We discovered how Kiev exports the children.
• 1:18:59
  It abducts.
• 1:19:01
  Ukraine had forged a new original birth certificate for Kira.
• 1:19:06
  The girl said she and the other children were to be sent to Poland.
• 1:19:10
  This is terrible. Uh,
• 1:19:13
  former SBU officer Vasily Prozorov spoke at the same conference where he
• 1:19:20
  explained according to Niant that one of his investigations had revealed that
• 1:19:24
  some of the children abducted by Ukraine are sent to pedophile networks in Great
• 1:19:30
  Britain via a whole network of Ukrainian and British officials or former
• 1:19:35
  officials who work together on the British side.
• 1:19:39
  Members of MMI six and the foreign office are involved.
• 1:19:44
  Prozorov she wrote,
• 1:19:45
  spoke of another of his investigations on organizations registered in EU
• 1:19:50
  countries involving in exporting children from Ukraine under the pretext of
• 1:19:57
  providing them with shelter.
• 1:19:59
  These organizations take unaccompanied Ukrainian children out of Ukraine.
• 1:20:04
  What happens to them afterwards is unknown.
• 1:20:10
  In November 2022 in the Southern Russian seaside city of Anapa,
• 1:20:16
  I met numerous people displaced from Kherson who were being lodged in hotels and
• 1:20:22
  apartments in the city.
• 1:20:23
  The first side I visited was only a few minutes by taxi outside of the city.
• 1:20:29
  One of many hotels along the coast,
• 1:20:31
  the hotel director showing me around said they don't call them refugees.
• 1:20:36
  We call them guests of the building and spoke affectionately of them.
• 1:20:42
  How grateful they were to be there. Far from any shelling.
• 1:20:46
  Just under 500 refugees had been living there since October.
• 1:20:51
  No guard monitored the entrance or exit.
• 1:20:54
  The refugees walked around tidy grounds,
• 1:20:56
  but in any case I asked about their freedom of movement or lack thereof.
• 1:21:01
  They move freely. Of course we don't prohibit them from going out.
• 1:21:05
  Many aren't here now because they're in town looking for jobs,
• 1:21:09
  getting documents. Children are at school.
• 1:21:13
  With my hired translator,
• 1:21:16
  I spoke with two Kherson women,
• 1:21:18
  a young mother and her own mother to hear their stories.
• 1:21:23
  We were living with explosions at night.
• 1:21:25
  It was scary not only for myself,
• 1:21:28
  but for my children and for my grandchildren, said the older woman.
• 1:21:31
  When you go to bed,
• 1:21:33
  you don't know if you will get out of bed in the morning.
• 1:21:37
  We were forced to leave. I asked him who was shelling.
• 1:21:42
  She said,
• 1:21:43
  word of mouth transmits very clearly and people around us spoke about it.
• 1:21:47
  We were bombed by the armed forces of Ukraine.
• 1:21:52
  Russian soldiers were protecting us.
• 1:21:54
  The younger woman said she used to speak with the Russian soldiers there.
• 1:21:59
  They are friendly.
• 1:22:00
  We wanted to hug them because we felt protected.
• 1:22:03
  They helped us, gave us humanitarian aid, brought it to the house.
• 1:22:08
  Some minutes taxi ride away.
• 1:22:10
  I visited an apartment complex that could have served tourists in the summer.
• 1:22:15
  There 50 buildings housed around 1500 refugees who also arrived in October,
• 1:22:22
  mostly from Kherson.
• 1:22:24
  My translator and I walked around passing playgrounds, a pharmacy,
• 1:22:28
  a library, a swimming pool, a gym, a small petting zoo, and a kindergarten.
• 1:22:33
  Near playground,
• 1:22:34
  I spoke with a mother sitting on a bench with two of her four children.
• 1:22:38
  In the early days, there was bombing.
• 1:22:41
  We spent two and a half weeks in the basement. It was unbearable.
• 1:22:45
  The children were very afraid. One of her daughters became ill.
• 1:22:50
  She had acute inflammation of the lower jaw.
• 1:22:52
  We think due to hypothermia.
• 1:22:55
  We took her to Simferopol and she had surgery.
• 1:23:00
  In Anapa, she said her children had full medical exams.
• 1:23:04
  We were helped by the mayor of the city of Anapa and we are grateful.
• 1:23:09
  His mother called three days in a row saying, where are the children?
• 1:23:13
  We answered they went to the cinema, they're playing, etc.
• 1:23:17
  She said, show me the children.
• 1:23:19
  They say they took your children from you,
• 1:23:22
  but they didn't.
• 1:23:24
  Whereas legacy media continue to push the evil Russia
• 1:23:28
  kidnap children narrative, there is ample evidence
• 1:23:32
  that Ukraine is guilty of doing precisely what it accuses Russia of.
• 1:23:37
  There is also a significant absence of evidence
• 1:23:41
  regarding the 20,000 kidnapped children claims
• 1:23:44
  that are still being pushed in the Western media.
• 1:23:48
  Will media investigate the reports of abuse of Ukrainian children in Turkey?
• 1:23:54
  Surely not. It wouldn't suit their scripted anti-Russia bias.
• 1:24:01
  And once again, that article was written
• 1:24:04
  by a Canadian independent journalist named Eva Bartlett.
• 1:24:10
  And she has also done stories
• 1:24:15
  in Syria and Palestine, always, you know, well, not always,
• 1:24:20
  but a lot of times about children,
• 1:24:23
  abuses, that kind of thing.
• 1:24:25
  And I've been talking about this for a good long time
• 1:24:30
  about this number of 20,000 that they could never, ever come up with.
• 1:24:36
  And there was when the war first escalated in 2022,
• 1:24:41
  when Russia went into the Donbass area,
• 1:24:45
  there was a huge bunch of stories about this 20,000 children that were taken.
• 1:24:51
  And it's been debunked from day one,
• 1:24:55
  except in, you know, Ukrainian narratives,
• 1:25:01
  like by Zelensky or by whoever wants to pump the nonsense out for people.
• 1:25:10
  But. Legitimate sources that come out
• 1:25:14
  real sources, people that have investigated it, don't believe any of it,
• 1:25:20
  nor do I. It but it just doesn't fit the narrative.
• 1:25:25
  And they've been asking for the list of these people for a good long time.
• 1:25:29
  And Lavrov always says, look, you've given us 300 names.
• 1:25:33
  You know, where are the rest?
• 1:25:35
  You know, where this 20,000 you were talking about?
• 1:25:40
  And I don't know.
• 1:25:41
  It just the stories continue to.
• 1:25:49
  Devolve, I was thinking I could share that other story with you,
• 1:25:53
  but I guess not that one took a little longer than I thought.
• 1:25:56
  And it's basically how the U.S.
• 1:25:59
  is is redoing world politics after the Trump move.
• 1:26:05
  And that was an interesting one, too.
• 1:26:07
  I'll share that with you tomorrow, most likely, unless I come up with something else.
• 1:26:11
