0:07
radio Hello Good evening.
0:11
Welcome I'm Samuel trap.
0:14
This is international flavor.
0:15
You are listening to damn radio I'm coming
0:19
to you live from the Lake Ozark real
0:24
estate of the art studio.
0:28
Oh My the news the news of the
0:32
hood news.
0:33
Feel free to call me 5 7 3
0:34
7 4 6 8 0 2 0 and
0:38
Get ready because I believe after the Thanksgiving
0:44

0:56
o'clock We shall see What shall be
0:59
seen?
1:00
And it'll be very exciting.
1:02
So all the news today at least this
1:04
evening has been all About the 28-point
1:08
plan.
1:08
So last night I talked a little bit
1:09
about What it was, but nobody knew what
1:12
it was Nobody knew well now people know
1:15
it's been leaked.
1:16
Of course, which nothing could ever be just
1:19
put out by the proper I don't know
1:22
what A Proper source maybe would be the
1:26
old president would be somebody Somewhere in the
1:30
government, but it's always leaked and this was
1:33
leaked somehow Axios got it and then there
1:37
were but but everybody was talking about it
1:39
Anyway, like they had seen it they had
1:42
read it, but they didn't have it and
1:44
he couldn't talk about last night there were
1:46
some people I went through a good number
1:50
of Shows today and Was seeing what various
1:57
people were saying both in Russia All over
2:00
the world.
2:01
I read an Al Jazeera piece.
2:02
It was pretty cool.
2:03
That was talking about whether or not we
2:07
were Going to see the end of a
2:09
war anytime soon and I did like the
2:13
way they framed some of the questions because
2:16
for me it's I I think it's important
2:21
in fact here I am sitting in the
2:24
real estate of the art studio and they're
2:29
showing, you know on JR's TV stuff gonna
2:31
be Distracting me.
2:34
I think I'm gonna shut them off drive
2:36
me crazy but there are various different people
2:39
saying different things about the peace plan and
2:43
I've been talking about The corruption scandal in
2:49
Ukraine for a while that dudes on his
2:51
last legs and I thought I would start
2:55
with the golden toilet, right So, I don't
3:00
know if you guys have paid attention to
3:02
this, but the golden toilets of Ukraine are
3:04
are all over Telegram, I don't know that
3:08
I've shared them before but there's an article
3:11
by a guy named Andre Rudenko and The
3:14
story is called behind the Ukrainian golden toilet
3:17
because they were showing pictures of the places
3:20
where this Mindik and some other people were
3:25
sitting and so his article is kind of
3:29
a play on that nonsensical nonsense, and it's
3:31
good stuff because Putin today Something also pretty
3:37
funny So I'm gonna share two short stories
3:40
with you before we get our articles before
3:43
we get into the 28-point peace plan,
3:47
which apparently like I surmised the last couple
3:52
of days is gonna be forced upon the
3:54
old Z monster because he maybe Maybe the
3:59
old trumpster did plan all of this.
4:02
Maybe so if so Maybe he'll get some
4:07
do from me, especially if he sticks with
4:10
his 28-point plan and But let's get
4:13
first to the story behind the Ukrainian golden
4:16
toilet there's only one way to fix the
4:20
disease of the Ukrainian state written by a
4:25
guy named Andre Rudenko and It's it's it's
4:30
really not very long.
4:32
I may skip around a little bit, but
4:34
these are pretty funny the West's Slow turn
4:37
away from Vladimir Zelensky is no longer a
4:40
speculation It's happening in plain sight like a
4:44
steamroller moving slowly but with absolute certainty The
4:50
Financial Times hardly a Kremlin mouthpiece has published
4:54
a piece titled bags of cash and a
4:57
gold toilet the corruption crisis engulfing Zelensky's government
5:04
Its reporters now openly state that Ukrainian elites
5:08
expect even more explosive revelations from the Naboo
5:14
investigations and Once outlets like the Financial Times
5:18
Put something like this to print it usually
5:23
means the groundwork has been laid behind the
5:26
scenes That Western Europe and the United States
5:31
are still approving new aid says little about
5:35
confidence in Kiev It says far more about
5:38
bureaucratic inertia and the reluctance of those who
5:42
profit from war To let the tap suddenly
5:45
close Even so you can now hear cautious
5:49
whispers in Brussels asking whether it makes sense
5:52
To send billions to a government whose officials
5:56
are determined to steal the money before it
5:59
arrives These are not new Revelations the only
6:03
surprise is that anyone pretends to be surprised
6:07
The truth is simple the West knew exactly
6:11
who it was dealing with Nobody in Washington
6:14
or Brussels was under the illusion that Ukraine
6:17
was Switzerland They knowingly entered into a political
6:21
partnership with what is and has long been
6:25
one of the most corrupt and internally unstable
6:29
political systems in Europe To pretend otherwise is
6:34
theater for more than 30 years Ukrainian statehood
6:37
is rested on the same shaky foundation competing
6:41
clans oligarchy rule privatized security services and a
6:46
political class willing to plunder their own population
6:51
Gina sounds like ours changing presidents never altered
6:55
the underlying structure Sounds like ours too because
6:59
each leader owed his position to the same
7:02
network of cash patronage and force Doesn't that
7:06
sound like us?
7:08
Take Leonid Kravchuk under him Ukraine began to
7:13
slow banditization and Bandera of ski are the
7:18
the Nazis While state assets were siphoned away
7:23
and local power brokers entrenched themselves Leonid Kuchma
7:27
then perfected this system under his presidency Ukraine
7:32
saw dubious arms deals the murder of journalists
7:36
and opposition figures and audiotapes revealing orders to
7:41
eliminate critics economic sectors with predictable profits were
7:46
carved up among regional clans who ruled their
7:49
fiefdoms in exchange for loyalty and a steady
7:53
stream of kickbacks to Kiev Victor you Yushenko's
7:58
years brought more of the same corruption schemes
8:02
around energy political assassination and the continued exploitation
8:07
of ordinary Ukrainians Victor Yanukovych and Petro Poroshenko
8:13
added their own layer to this architecture of
8:16
rot Zelensky inherited it and then accelerated it
8:22
Surrounding himself with loyalist whose main Qualification was
8:27
their willingness to feed at the trough and
8:30
look the other way All of these leaders
8:33
shared one priority resisting federalization at any cost
8:38
a Federal Ukraine would devolve power and financial
8:42
control to the regions and that is a
8:45
nightmare scenario For Kiev elites, it would loosen
8:50
their grip on revenue streams limit their political
8:53
leverage and allow Regional identities to express themselves
8:57
without the fear of punishment from the center
9:00
So instead of reform they offered forced Ukrainization
9:05
attacks on the Russian language and nationalist show
9:09
slogans about one people one language One state
9:13
it was a political survival strategy not a
9:17
nation building project That is why Changing presidents
9:22
won't fix anything Remove Zelensky and you get
9:27
another figure from the same system perhaps illusiony
9:31
perhaps a recycled face from a previous era
9:35
the Choreography will be identical only the masks
9:39
will change The deeper problem is the structure
9:43
of Ukrainian statehood itself as long as Ukraine
9:47
Remains in its current unitary form.
9:49
It will continue producing conflict corruption and internal
9:55
Instability war is not an aberration of such
9:58
a system It is an outcome if the
10:02
elites refuse to reform and the population has
10:05
no means to compel them to do So
10:07
then the discussion must move beyond personalities the
10:12
uncomfortable truth is that the only lasting solution
10:16
May be to abandon the current model of
10:20
Ukrainian statehood altogether Because no cosmetic change will
10:25
save a system designed from birth to decay
10:31
You got to admit that's a pretty harsh
10:36
Article By mr.
10:38
Andrei Rudenko and you know unfortunately quite a
10:44
bit is true, so Putin has one other
10:47
small part that I want him that he
10:49
talked about there's a lot of talk about
10:52
people abandoning Ukraine nowadays Nordic nations say the
10:58
Sweden says this that the Ukraine burden is
11:02
unsustainable Poland is stirring war hysteria Ukrainian murder
11:08
plots using chemical weapons are foiled Let's see
11:15
Quite a few but let's quickly share with
11:19
you this story about Ukraine being led by
11:23
a criminal gang on golden potties according to
11:28
Putin Ukrainian leaders do not care about the
11:33
fate of their own country the Russian president
11:35
says Ukrainian leaders have devolved into a criminal
11:40
gang while sitting on their golden potties Russian
11:45
president Putin has said the president made these
11:49
remarks on Thursday while visiting a command post
11:52
for troops fighting in the Ukraine Conflict in
11:57
his address to the commanding officers Putin touched
12:01
upon a massive graft crisis that has been
12:04
unfolding in Ukraine This is not a political
12:07
leadership of Ukraine.
12:09
It is a criminal gang that holds power
12:12
for personal enrichment It's clear to everyone that
12:15
these people sitting on their golden potties are
12:19
Hardly thinking about the fate of common people
12:22
in Ukraine or the fate of ordinary soldiers
12:25
Putin stated referring to Timur Mindy the ally
12:30
of Vladimir Zelensky the one they call the
12:33
wallet Who fled the country hours before he
12:36
was due to be arrested for extortion?
12:38
Who had a gilded a gilded toilet in
12:42
his elite Kiev apartment?
12:45
The massive graft scandal enfolded in Ukraine last
12:50
week I'm not going to cover the rest
12:53
of that.
12:53
I've covered that for several days Dmitry Peskov
12:57
said the Kiev regime is obviously going off
13:01
the rails said Dmitry Peskov on Tuesday, that's
13:05
hardly a Ukrainian internal matter anymore That's foreign
13:10
money being stolen So it's a there's the
13:17
tide is definitely turning friends and neighbors, so
13:23
when I first started reviewing the 28 point
13:28
plan I Couldn't get to I couldn't find
13:34
the full 28 paragraphs I Have them now,
13:39
you know, I have the complete list Which
13:42
we'll go over with you in a little
13:43
bit but I wanted to talk a little
13:45
bit more about Bob Polk Pokrovsk Mirna grad
13:49
the places that we've been talking about that
13:51
are in Zaparizhia or in her son or
13:57
What do you call it the Donetsk Lugansk
14:01
in the Donbass area because it is important
14:04
and I was saying, you know, I was
14:06
basically quizzing All Of the videos that I
14:12
watched and Wondering what about the fall of
14:17
Pokrovsk and is Pokrovsk gone already or not?
14:21
There's now been Western Journalists and others go
14:28
in and there's plenty of videos of Russians
14:31
and southern Russian soldiers all over southern Pokrovsk
14:34
So for the Zelensky regime to do what
14:37
it's been doing and say, oh no, that's
14:38
crazy where we have them But on the
14:43
ground inside of Pokrovsk Russian sources including the
14:47
Ministry of Defense are talking about Pokrovsk and
14:51
Krasnoarmeysk as encircled and under Russian control and
14:56
say That Ukrainian forces are bottled up around
15:00
Mirna grad the and those two cities are
15:05
I suppose you'd call them sister cities.
15:07
They're not all that far apart from each
15:09
other The Russian Ministry of Defense video geo
15:13
located by Reuters shows Russian soldiers Patrolling freely
15:18
through the southern parts of the city and
15:20
no visible Ukrainian presence Ukraine calls this a
15:24
gray zone, but that's usually the word you
15:26
use when you're already in trouble according to
15:30
Reuters Western military trackers ISW Institute study war
15:36
have been noting for weeks that Russia has
15:39
the initiative in Pokrovsk while Ukraine has severe
15:42
manpower Munition problems.
15:44
We've been following that here.
15:45
Yeah In strict military terms Russia has the
15:50
momentum the artillery the numbers Zelensky himself admits
15:54
Ukrainian troops are badly outnumbered Ukrainian reserves are
15:58
thin they have other fronts to hold in
16:01
Kharkiv Zaporizhzhia, etc So unless Kiev does one
16:04
of two things pulls out in time and
16:08
trades land for saving troops or Somehow finds
16:11
fresh forces and more ammo that nobody has
16:15
available Then the loss of Pokrovsk is just
16:18
a matter of time It's not an if
16:20
from the Russian side of the equation The
16:24
battle is already being described in the past
16:27
tense and From most of the mappers, that's
16:31
true.
16:31
Even the Ukrainian mappers are showing 90%
16:35
of Pokrovsk under Russian control So from a
16:39
political standpoint, nobody in Kiev is gonna say
16:41
Pokrovsk is gone until long after the map
16:44
makes it obvious But on an operational level
16:47
the city is doomed Unless there's some kind
16:51
of a miracle or political deal and it
16:53
appears that the political big deal is gonna
16:56
Kick their rear ends if after I should
16:58
tell you about that little tidbit So what
17:03
we see is the US reporting in live
17:05
updates are describing Trump as frustrated with both
17:09
sides That's been going on for a while,
17:12
but he's talking about Lasting peace he's more
17:15
frustrated with with the Z monster than he
17:19
is with Putin and he says that He's
17:25
pushing for a lasting peace and pushing his
17:28
28-point plan, which we're gonna get to
17:31
like I said Russia and for their point
17:35
their officials are openly saying that the conflict
17:37
is now Trump's not Biden's and they've been
17:41
saying that for a while I've been saying
17:43
that for a while and that Moscow is
17:45
ready to negotiate if Washington is serious and
17:50
Moscow hasn't slammed the the 28-point draft
17:56
you know their their line is more like
17:58
we haven't confirmed it, but we are open
18:01
to dialogue on it, so Code and diplomacy
18:04
that means we can work with this with
18:08
some edits, you know, they're still Not quite
18:11
there and I don't after reviewing it.
18:14
I don't think they're going to be but
18:16
it'll be close Trump keeps swinging between let
18:21
Ukraine win everything back One day and the
18:25
next he's freeze the lines and give Russia
18:28
the Donbass Putin wants something Closer to his
18:31
original war aims.
18:33
He wants recognition of Crimea.
18:34
He wants to full Donbass He wants a
18:36
neutral Ukraine.
18:37
He wants limits on Ukrainian military.
18:40
No NATO the new plan covers most of
18:45
these things So Trump's real impatience appears to
18:49
be with Zelensky in Europe For not taking
18:52
the deal immediately and with the fact that
18:55
he hasn't turned it into a quick win.
18:56
He can brag about So Putin is being
19:00
more hard-nosed business negotiator pressure over tomahawks
19:04
sanctions, etc pressure over energy Escalation bricks on
19:09
the other if you're looking for a headline
19:11
Trump isn't breaking with Putin He's trying to
19:15
arm twist Kiev and Brussels into swallowing a
19:18
settlement that locks in Russian gains But does
19:22
let him claim that he ended the war
19:24
so that's a part of it There's a
19:27
bunch of stuff about tomahawks and given more
19:31
Everybody's been talking about the other option would
19:33
be to give Kiev all of this Long
19:36
-range equipment to continue bombing inside of Russia,
19:38
but that's an escalation that is a very
19:41
bad plan And before we get to this
19:44
28-point plan, and I only say this
19:46
because Trump is like I don't know a
19:50
weather vane, you know Whichever way the wind
19:53
blows today is the way he's pointing and
19:55
so at least on the Ukraine conflict in
19:59
So we we shall see Let's talk about
20:03
all of the times that in this and
20:06
most of this came from the because I'll
20:07
just hear I put together a Pretty cool
20:09
article.
20:10
It's like we don't know which way he's
20:12
going either and who knows if this new
20:14
one will stick It was an interesting article.
20:16
I'm not gonna share the whole thing with
20:17
you.
20:17
It's too long, but the They talk about
20:21
his during his campaign and his early presidency
20:23
on the trail he claimed he'd end the
20:26
war in 24 hours Later, he admitted that
20:30
this was You know according to Wikipedia anyway
20:34
creative marketing And in February of 2025 he
20:39
had an Oval Office meeting with Zelensky remember
20:41
that and that that debacle Public and leaked
20:44
accounts described Trump scolding Zelensky for not being
20:47
grateful we saw that and telling him is
20:50
in no position to dictate terms and Implied
20:53
that Ukraine needed to give up land that
20:56
was in February in August Both sides have
21:00
to cede some territory put Trump floated land
21:03
swaps Ukraine gives up territory Russia gives back
21:06
some smaller pieces everyone signs a ceasefire you
21:10
know that's from Reuters and then Zelensky and
21:13
European leaders immediately reject this idea Ukraine's Constitution
21:17
according to the Z monster doesn't allow trading
21:21
territory away.
21:22
That was from the Washington Post September the
21:25
23rd Ukraine can win it all back.
21:27
Do you remember that nonsense?
21:30
Oh Ukraine can win it all back This
21:31
is a new phase after meeting Zelensky at
21:34
the UN Trump suddenly says Ukraine can reclaim
21:36
all territory lost since 2022 with EU and
21:40
NATO backing and posts about returning to the
21:44
Original borders of where this war started that
21:47
was Reuters as well That was a brief
21:51
moment when his rhetoric lined up with more
21:54
Kiev, you know more with Kiev in Brussels
21:56
very very small in October he then pivoted
22:00
again suggested freezing the war at the current
22:03
front lines and leaving negotiations Over status of
22:07
occupied regions for later Russia rejected this it
22:10
wants to full Donbass and some more Okay,
22:14
and then in November this leaked 28-point
22:18
plan and we're to the end and remember
22:20
what comes tomorrow tomorrow is the 90-day
22:24
end of when these sanctions are supposed to
22:27
take place in India China bunch of the
22:32
places that they were given a 90-day
22:34
reprieve, right?
22:35
Remember all of this that these are going
22:37
to be some serious sanctions that are supposed
22:39
to take place tomorrow If I do remember
22:43
the date right this is cool cool let's
22:46
see, but according to axios AP plus the
22:50
Al Jazeera of article that I read all
22:53
and there were plenty more that I Listen
22:56
to online and whatnot Russia is getting what
23:00
what they will get.
23:01
Okay This is this is the leaked part
23:03
of the 28-point plan I have the
23:05
full text of it below what they get
23:07
and I'll go through all 28 but Russia
23:10
gets formal control of Crimea and all of
23:14
the Donbass, okay, Including some of the areas
23:17
it doesn't yet physically hold they have all
23:20
of Lugansk and almost all of Donetsk But
23:24
they will have the plan calls for Ukraine
23:26
to give it all up, right?
23:29
Then Ukraine pulls its forces out of the
23:32
Donbass entirely and the region becomes a demilitarized
23:35
zone Current front lines in Zaporizhzhia and Kherson
23:38
are frozen pending future talks Ukrainian army is
23:42
capped at 400,000 troops according to Al
23:47
Jazeera It's 400 to 600 according to the
23:50
28-point plan in a couple other places,
23:53
right?
23:54
And they're stripped of any long-range strike
23:59
capability NATO Enlargement is further constrained.
24:05
There are strong hints of a block on
24:07
Ukrainian membership.
24:09
I think it's in there actually in return
24:12
the US security guarantee for what's left of
24:15
Ukraine and Europe some kind of non-aggression
24:19
arrangement and access to portions of the Russian
24:23
frozen assets This is interesting So we'll get
24:27
to that in just a second because the
24:29
way the finances come out Trump's the god
24:31
-emperor of the planet, right?
24:33
This is good stuff Because I always thought
24:36
I was the god-emperor of the planet,
24:38
but apparently not if you are into Frank
24:42
Herbert, you will know that God Emperor is
24:46
a title from his science fiction writings anyway
24:52
Russian news on this blunt, you know Take
24:58
from all of this is the plan meets
25:00
many of Russia's core security demands and it
25:04
would force Ukraine to give up large parts
25:06
of its sovereignty and Territory while the EU
25:10
complains it has been kept in the dark,
25:13
right?
25:14
So if we strip away the noise from
25:16
this, what do we get?
25:18
We get a vague promise of quick peace
25:20
and no details we get him Experiments with
25:24
different formulas land swaps total Ukraine so if
25:27
this is really Trump the deal-maker and
25:29
Trump posturing this entire time going back and
25:32
forth and quietly working with the Russians I
25:36
Wonder III truly wonder because if it ends
25:39
up this way then that sounds pretty likely
25:43
that he was doing something along here, but
25:44
I Don't know maybe somebody who is a
25:48
Trumpster so not that I'm not a supporter
25:51
but a Trumpster Backer far more than me
25:56
to a hundred to a hundred and ten
25:58
percent when I'm only a 70 to 80
26:00
percent Maybe they would know but now we
26:04
got a fairly concrete scheme that lurks pretty
26:06
close to what Russia said early on in
26:09
the war What what?
26:12
This is the Don or the Istanbul plus
26:16
concept that was rejected by Bojo Boris Johnson
26:20
way back when and the Biden administration Nonsense,
26:25
and so what have we done except kill
26:27
off a million?
26:29
Ukrainians and a good number of Russians I
26:31
don't believe it's anywhere near as high but
26:33
you know, I may be wrong in that
26:36
respect, but I doubt it Um, so this
26:41
is an American guarantee and so the story
26:46
from the Russian point of view is that
26:49
Washington spent three years denying Moscow's red lines
26:53
and now it's trying to sell those exact
26:56
same red lines back to Ukraine and Europe
26:59
as Trump's peace plan This is the Trump
27:04
peace plan given the EU will almost certainly
27:07
reject the initial draft Which is why even
27:09
Western analysis are calling it more of a
27:12
starting gun For a diplomatic blame game than
27:15
a Finnish settlement if they say no Trump
27:18
gets to say I offered peace and they
27:20
chose more war So there were some good
27:23
stories on that Reuters said That you know
27:26
shows the Russian soldiers walking freely through but
27:29
Krovsk Al Jazeera says Ukraine facing exhausting battles
27:33
in the Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk And then Russia
27:36
hitting Ukraine with overnight attacks happens every single
27:40
night so I went and I I listened
27:44
to One of my favorites over there the
27:47
Solovyov.
27:48
I listened to a two and a half
27:49
hour Um Maria's a hot about the her
27:54
she gave her Ministry of Foreign Affairs briefing
27:58
and I listened to that most of it
28:01
and then We were there's some stuff about
28:05
Kellogg and his his retiring at the end
28:08
of the year Like I was telling you
28:09
last night.
28:10
We're talking about Istanbul Plus.
28:12
There's a guy named Marcus Alex that I
28:14
like to listen to And I have the
28:17
full text of Trump's 28 points that came
28:19
out on Axios earlier and Al Jazeera that
28:23
I read to you about and then so
28:26
I'm gonna start with the plan itself and
28:29
then about how it's being used to squeeze
28:32
the Z monster then go with the strict
28:35
Russian side of it and Then talk about
28:38
some more middle-of-the-road errs If
28:41
you strip down what the 28-point plan
28:45
actually says Let's see.
28:47
You know what?
28:48
I think I'll take you through all 28
28:50
I wasn't going to but I think I
28:53
will Let's see here According to Axios here
29:00
it is Short Short version.
29:05
Okay, because they had a little bit more
29:07
in there But we are to confirm that
29:10
Ukraine stays sovereign as a state, okay, that's
29:13
number one there will be a non-aggression
29:15
pact between Russia Ukraine and Europe that closes
29:20
out all past disputes Russia pledges no invasions
29:26
NATO halts further expansion Gee, there's a surprise.
29:31
Maybe we put that into a treaty number
29:34
four u.s Mediated NATO Russia security dialogue
29:39
to manage tension and de-escalation Very nice
29:45
US led security guarantees for Ukraine cap Ukraine's
29:52
armed forces at 600,000 there's something in
29:56
the calculations in there, but it's a Administrative
29:59
versus fighting forces stuff like that.
30:02
So it's basically 400 ground troops or whatever
30:06
Ukraine is locked out of NATO in its
30:09
own Constitution and NATO formally rules out Ukraine's
30:14
membership.
30:15
That's number seven number eight no NATO troops
30:20
in Ukraine There's that'd be a good one.
30:23
That's what started all this crap.
30:25
Anyway, number nine base European fighter jets in
30:29
Poland instead Poland's already a bunch of nuts.
30:34
Let's let them be there number ten details
30:38
of the u.s. Guarantee u.s. Gets
30:41
money Get a lot of money.
30:44
The guarantee is void if Ukraine attacks Russia
30:48
or hits Moscow st Petersburg and quote without
30:53
cause and if Russia attacks again Sanctions and
30:58
recognition benefits snap back.
31:01
So there's going to be recognition of the
31:03
territories and we'll get to that in a
31:05
second number 11 Open the EU door for
31:09
Ukraine plus temporary preferential access to EU markets
31:15
Number 12.
31:16
This one is where Trump is hoping to
31:19
shine, right?
31:21
big reconstruction package for Ukraine New development fund
31:27
joint work on gas infrastructure rebuilding of cities
31:32
and infrastructure and resource extraction number 13 Reintegrate
31:39
Russia into the global economy Staged sanctions relief
31:45
long term u.s. Russia economic deals and
31:50
invite Russia back into the g8 Look if
31:56
if Trump is behind this he is trying
31:59
to slam the door on bricks and bring
32:03
Russia back into Swift that Makes sense too
32:09
and get number 14.
32:11
You're gonna love this it Trump in the
32:13
dealmaker use frozen Russian assets 100 billion goes
32:20
to a u.s. Led Ukraine rebuild fund
32:25
The u.s. Gets 50 percent of the
32:29
profits.
32:30
Do you remember that?
32:31
we get that anyway, because Ukraine signed the
32:34
minerals deal member that and Or that's part
32:38
of it.
32:38
And then Europe has to add another 100
32:43
billion to the pot and The remaining frozen
32:48
assets go into a joint u.s. Russia
32:52
investment fund So the u.s. Gets three
32:56
chunks Hundred billion hundred billion and then whatever
33:01
the rest is there was three hundred billion
33:04
in the original fund, right?
33:06
and who knows how much is left these
33:08
days, but all the interest on it has
33:10
gone to loans to Ukraine to be guarantee
33:13
them he wants to Create a joint u
33:18
.s. Russia security working group to oversee compliance
33:22
I want in on that, you know, that
33:24
would be fun number 16 Russia writes a
33:28
non-aggression Toward Europe and Ukraine into its
33:33
law.
33:34
I don't think that'll be a problem at
33:35
all number 17 extend an update u.s
33:40
Russia Nuclear arms control treaties.
33:44
That's a big deal.
33:46
That's the new start treaty Number 18 Ukraine
33:52
Recommits to being a non-nuclear state under
33:57
the nuclear proliferation treaties Number 19 and I've
34:02
talked about this quite a few times Zaporizhia
34:05
nuclear power plant restarts under IAEA International Atomic
34:10
Energy Agency Electricity is split 50-50 between
34:14
Russia and Ukraine.
34:15
So you've heard some of these before over
34:17
the last five six months, right and Now
34:20
we're seeing them all put together number 20
34:24
Tolerance and rights package both adopt education programs
34:29
on tolerance Ukraine applies EU rules on religious
34:33
and linguistic rights that they don't have right
34:36
now Both protect Russian Ukrainian media and education
34:41
they ban well Ukraine anyway bans this Nazi
34:47
ideology in related activity 21 the territories here's
34:54
the land Crimea Lugansk Donetsk recognized as Russian
35:01
including by the United States Herson and Zaporizhia
35:08
the borders freeze along the current front lines
35:14
Russia quits some other occupied pockets in sue
35:18
me and Person places like that or Harkiv.
35:23
I mean in Harkiv places like that and
35:26
Ukraine withdraws from the West or from the
35:29
rest of Donetsk that it still holds which
35:33
become a neutral Demilitarized buffer recognized as Russian
35:38
territory, but no Russian troops inside that strip
35:43
both sides 22 promise not to change these
35:47
borders by force security guarantees vanish if they
35:52
do number 23 guarantee Ukraine's use of the
35:57
Dnipro River and Black Sea grain export routes
36:03
Because they're about to lose Possibly access to
36:07
the Black Sea which kill them financially in
36:11
a lot of ways Number 24 this one's
36:14
fun There no, where is it?
36:17
Because well, we'll get into some more details
36:19
after I go through these last five humanitarian
36:22
Commission all for all prisoner of war and
36:26
body swaps Return of any civilian detainees or
36:30
children family reunification and victim support measures 25
36:35
this is a big one Ukraine to hold
36:39
elections within 100 days Want to talk about
36:44
corruption there?
36:46
number 26 full wartime Amnesty for everyone no
36:51
future claims or complaints allowed meaning Russia and
36:55
all the people that it is charging Under
36:57
criminal law like I've told you about repeatedly
37:00
They don't get you know, that doesn't happen
37:03
anymore 27 Make the deal legally binding enforced
37:09
by a Peace Council get this here comes
37:12
here.
37:12
It comes chaired by Donald Trump himself with
37:17
sanctions for violators and number 28 Ceasefire begins
37:21
immediately once everyone signs and troops pull back
37:25
to the initial agreed-upon positions that is
37:30
all 28 friends and neighbors and that's a
37:35
a hell of a start don't you think
37:38
That's a big Fargan deal if the old
37:43
Trumpster Can pull it off so Stripped down,
37:49
you know this security architecture in NATO Ukrainian
37:52
sovereignty is affirmed, but Ukraine has to constitutionally
37:58
Renounce NATO NATO has to formally record that
38:02
Ukraine will never be admitted NATO cannot station
38:06
troops in Ukraine airfields nothing US mediated Russia
38:12
NATO dialogue is created to end Ambiguity and
38:17
to de-escalate and that'll be chaired by
38:19
the old Trumpster I kind of like that
38:22
idea in other words Ukraine is permanently non
38:24
-aligned and off of the NATO Expansion menu,
38:28
which is what?
38:30
Moscow is wanted from day one Ukraine's military
38:36
and status that's another chunk of them, right?
38:39
Ukrainian Armed Forces capped Axio says 600,000
38:43
as a hard ceiling, but a lot of
38:46
the other ones are saying, you know, they
38:47
have to have the Current force which is
38:50
about 800 K So the numbers don't quite
38:53
line up But the direction is a huge
38:55
cut and Ukraine has to give up certain
38:58
classes of long-range weapons There's going to
39:00
be no attack comes no tomahawk style No
39:03
storm shadows.
39:04
No nothing like that.
39:05
Ukraine has to stay Non-proliferation, they can't
39:09
have any nuclear related stuff and So from
39:14
a practical point of view, it's an army
39:16
large enough for internal security But not large
39:19
enough to threaten any deep strikes on Russia
39:22
the territories we've laid out before and Crimea
39:26
Donetsk Luzon Lugansk recognized as Russian even in
39:30
the u.s. And then the other ones
39:33
Are just hypothetical future talks you can talk
39:37
about them and Ukraine has to withdraw from
39:39
You know, don't ask we've already talked about
39:42
that So here is This is where it's
39:47
it's interesting.
39:48
So you won't talk about the Biden family
39:50
making a buttload of cash in in Ukraine,
39:54
let's switch to the Trump Kushner angle, right
39:57
and who gets a cut now a Hundred
40:00
billion in frozen assets of Russian assets get
40:05
to be used in a u.s. Led
40:08
Reconstruction fund u.s. Gets 50% of
40:11
the profits from that Europe is supposed to
40:15
add another hundred billion and the rest of
40:18
the Russian at funds Go into the u
40:20
.s. Joint investment and and what are they
40:23
going to do with this?
40:25
Allegedly AI Arctic minerals energy building Infrastructure stuff
40:32
like that and Russia gets to come back
40:35
home, right?
40:37
lift to sanctions long-term economic cooperation with
40:41
the u.s. and energy resources and tech
40:44
and invited back to the g8 and Ukraine
40:48
gets to join the EU, right?
40:51
so From a Russian point of view Washington
40:55
tries to turn Russian assets into a Wall
40:58
Street profit machine and bolt Russia back into
41:04
the globalist System in exchange for giving them
41:09
territory and ending the war and lifting sanctions
41:13
They get it come back in.
41:15
I Wonder how China in India will feel
41:19
about that Frankly Europe and in Ukraine aren't
41:24
gonna go for this anyway And so Trump
41:25
can just wash his hands from it and
41:27
go well, I've You know, I've done my
41:31
best, you know, here it is No No,
41:35
what do you call it Pulitzer for you?
41:39
Is it Pulitzer what is it Nobel I'm
41:41
sorry, no peace prize for you, but there
41:44
you go And then there's a bunch of
41:47
fluff body exchanges elections full amnesty Blah blah
41:53
blah Peace Council with Donald Trump guaranteeing enforcement
41:58
So from the Washington Slash Trump camp Axios
42:09
Wall Street Journal All say this is Trump's
42:13
serious fully flushed out plan drafted by Whitkoff
42:18
with input from Rubio and Kushner in consultation
42:22
with Kirill Dmitriev Russian Remember when he came
42:26
over a little bit ago month ago less
42:28
than that u.s. Officials say it's not
42:31
easy for Ukraine But they insist that if
42:34
Kiev refuses It will lose even more land
42:39
And that's true, you know, they'll they'll be
42:42
lucky to have any Black Sea access if
42:44
they don't and because Russia's moving Well Zelensky
42:52
is being caught let's call it nudged Toward
42:55
reality.
42:56
He's got to get toward reality and publicly
42:59
they get his say we're ending the war
43:02
There's going to be durable peace security Guarantees
43:07
the usual sugarcoating on what is basically a
43:11
dictated settlement to the old Z monster so
43:14
the Basically everyone that I've seen on the
43:20
West is echoing exactly this point and it
43:23
then the the unfortunate point for this is
43:26
that What this proposal is is the same
43:31
thing that some that Moscow?
43:33
Demanded a long time ago and What Zelensky
43:39
has already called?
43:40
Capitulation and but Washington is now reselling it
43:44
as Trump piece But it also says that
43:47
Zelensky's corruption scandal in this battlefield You know
43:52
Losses that are going on now aren't helping
43:55
him any so in Moscow on the other
43:58
hand Peskov is Being cool says Kremlin hasn't
44:03
seen any new terms of any new plan
44:07
Nothing beyond our earlier talks Putin's June 24
44:12
terms still stand NATO Renunciation withdrawal from the
44:18
four regions blah blah blah same old stuff
44:22
Zakharova today and in the in in tasks
44:25
and Al Jazeera They say that the Ministry
44:28
of Foreign Affairs is aware of media speculation
44:31
But has not received any official u.s.
44:33
Proposal and that such things must go through
44:37
official channels and not leaks Unofficially Russian TV
44:43
and Russian, you know What do you call
44:47
it?
44:48
for contact you and Rutube all of them
44:52
you can I watched one called In In
44:57
Russian, of course, but the pool the peace
45:00
plan from 28 points.
45:02
This is a great roasting the the step
45:07
the the path to the White House they
45:10
frame it as get this a Desperate PR
45:14
move by Trump after he has taken a
45:18
few domestic political hits Epstein hearings congressional moves
45:23
that have been against him it's an attempt
45:25
to turn Ukraine into a bargaining chip to
45:28
save Trump politically and This guy's pretty pro
45:33
-ukrainian by the way and a plan that
45:36
is actually very favorable to Russia on the
45:39
ground But they're trying to sell it as
45:42
balanced.
45:42
Okay, this guy's a The one I'm telling
45:47
you about is a very Ukrainian point of
45:50
view Russian commentators say The plan codifies Russian
45:57
gains forces Ukraine to disarm and gives Russia
46:00
a path back to the g8 financial system
46:03
without conceding anything fundamental and Solovyov the guy
46:08
who watched that has done the very political
46:12
commentators He says that this is proof that
46:17
the West is exhausted and that Ukraine has
46:21
already been defeated Militarily and the eight the
46:25
28 points are are clumsy and a late
46:28
recognition of something that they already offered and
46:32
had on the table and partially agreed to
46:34
in Istanbul in 2022 until Bojo destroyed it
46:38
if this had happened it would have you
46:42
know, this is similar to what they agreed
46:45
upon way back then and And there's a
46:49
written part of it that goes with it,
46:51
so what does kiv say about all this
46:54
Kiev of course says Ukrainian officials are calling
46:58
this absurd.
46:59
It's a non-starter.
47:01
We're not going to capitulate especially the parts
47:04
about giving up the remaining parts of the
47:07
Donbass and freezing the lines in her son
47:10
is a Parisia cutting its army and giving
47:14
a Russian language and the Moscow The Russian
47:20
Orthodox Church official status again it that is
47:23
nonsense that these people that they're saying we
47:26
will not give Russian language in the Moscow
47:30
Church the the Orthodox Church Official status isn't
47:36
that crap and what it does Lenski say
47:39
about this publicly he didn't denounce it outright
47:41
But he says it's called the US vision
47:44
he claims He will give it his input
47:47
and stresses that American leadership has to remain
47:51
strong to end the war He's in trouble
47:55
politically huge and he's trying to walk a
47:59
line he won't swallow this openly But he
48:02
ain't gonna defy Trump openly either so this
48:08
a lot of commentators, especially the Alex Mercouris
48:12
that I like to listen to the British
48:15
guy he Has had a an article if
48:19
you get a chance you could get on
48:20
YouTube and watch what he's had He has
48:22
one that says that was titled today Kiev
48:25
defeats force the u.s. U-turn and
48:30
he wants they want to force Kiev to
48:32
accept Istanbul plus and He talked about Kellogg
48:37
quitting too, but basically his his point and
48:40
mine, too Is that 20 the 28-point
48:43
plan is really Istanbul plus this is what
48:46
they had in 2022 after Ukraine's failed offensive
48:50
and continued losses The u.s. Is u
48:53
-turning and accepting Moscow's core demands because the
48:56
battlefield is X is forcing somebody to accept
49:00
reality and I don't know why they haven't
49:04
yet anyway But you know here we are
49:08
still funding a losing war nonsense But that's
49:13
our our history, right?
49:16
Kellogg has quit going to Kiev.
49:18
He's done with that and he's Symbolizing that
49:22
the u.s. Team itself knows they can't
49:24
sell unlimited war to Congress anymore What are
49:29
the Europeans crying about now, let's let's let's
49:31
listen to them whine They are angry because
49:35
they were cut out of the Negotiation.
49:38
Well, I don't know that there really was
49:40
any but there are claims that Russia was
49:43
involved in this with Whitkoff and a couple
49:45
others the plan makes no demands of Russia
49:49
according to them and is heavily tilted toward
49:52
Russia and Tells Europe to live with a
49:56
truncated Ukraine and a renormalized Russia The Europeans
50:03
are worried.
50:03
They'll be left holding the security bag if
50:06
u.s. Attention moves on with Trump acting
50:11
as a Peace Council boss while the EU
50:13
pays the Reconstruction Bill and Absorbs a broken
50:17
client state.
50:19
They're the ones to want the broken client
50:21
state We don't want him, but I don't
50:25
I think it's nonsense So Mearsheimer the The
50:30
I think he's a professor, but he has
50:34
one.
50:34
It's called Ukraine and reality, right?
50:36
He says several points.
50:38
He said he and I know he's been
50:40
saying it for years because I followed him
50:42
for a long time He's been saying for
50:43
years that the West pushed Ukraine into an
50:47
unwinnable war by promising what it could not
50:50
deliver now, how can anybody deny that these
50:54
days you just can't and And never should
50:57
have been denied and in the first place
50:59
and anybody in arms control Knew that's exactly
51:02
what we're doing Anybody in the Pentagon that
51:04
didn't know that was being paid to look
51:07
the other way or paid to say the
51:08
other Version of that that's it.
51:11
They're not experts they're people who are just
51:13
morons, you know, because anybody with even a
51:16
small amount of Experience in this area knows
51:23
that what we were doing was pushing toward
51:26
war We know it.
51:28
I mean it's been going on for 30
51:29
years for God's sake so Now the u
51:34
.s. Is walking Ukraine back toward the very
51:36
deal it could have had in 2022 But
51:39
at a much higher price tag in land
51:43
and blood Yep The basic thesis is this
51:48
isn't really peace It's the formalization of a
51:50
strategic defeat for Kiev and a major blow
51:55
to Western credibility What else could it be?
52:00
This is what it is And if you
52:04
aren't acknowledging that you don't know anything So,
52:08
I mean this is this that's the truth
52:10
We pushed them towards this and they was
52:13
unwinnable from the get-go from the jump
52:17
they couldn't win this and Certainly, but but
52:21
everybody is everybody's still saying the same crap
52:24
that people were saying about Russia in the
52:26
80s when they were when when they didn't
52:29
have the money when they didn't have the
52:32
technology when they didn't have the Manufacturing capability
52:36
when they didn't have any of that in
52:37
the Soviet Union was was Collapsing and all
52:42
Reagan had to do was push on them
52:44
They still think it's the same place over
52:46
there That's the problem you have idiots Running
52:51
the show because it's not the same place
52:55
that it was 3035 years ago.
52:58
It's just not so How is this plan
53:02
gonna be used by the old trumpster to
53:04
force Zelensky's hand, let's let's let's get to
53:07
it How is he gonna force it?
53:09
And what does it mean for the war?
53:10
I think I think as I said earlier
53:13
in the show that Pokrovsk is gone the
53:17
military pressure the Russian advances near Pokrovsk, Kramatorsk,
53:20
Seversk are You know are inevitable these those
53:26
cities are Russian the end move-along smartly,
53:32
you know the the the Many analysts expect
53:37
Pokrovsk.
53:38
I say 90% of it's already gone
53:42
Solovyov opened his show talking about body exchange
53:46
This was and I may have said something
53:48
about this a few days ago Ukraine received
53:51
a thousand bodies from Russia more than a
53:53
thousand the other day and Russia got back
53:57
30 bodies right Contrast this with Kiev claiming
54:02
or and remember they call Russians orcs right
54:06
from Tolkien and they've been saying for years.
54:09
We're killing orcs by the thousands, right?
54:13
Yeah Really?
54:15
Where are they?
54:17
Where are they?
54:19
This is exactly the kind of reality check
54:21
that undermines Zelensky at home and abroad The
54:25
family see the corpses not the the telegram
54:29
You know videos of some idiot, you know
54:32
saying we're killing people So the message from
54:35
Washington to the old Z monster is you're
54:38
losing ground and men if you refuse this
54:42
you're gonna lose more ground and more men
54:45
and Don't expect us to keep funding another
54:49
grand offensive That'll never get anywhere and never
54:52
take place Anyway, because the money will be
54:57
snatched by your corrupt government and Or actors
55:02
in the corrupt government, right?
55:06
The financial and political choke is You know
55:09
this choke chain on of the on the
55:12
leash of the old Z man is u
55:14
.s and EU money are conditional allegedly Trump
55:18
can throttle the aid and Congress is in
55:22
no mood for another blank check Although they
55:25
still been trying to hide it and get
55:27
some more in there so Everybody's talking about
55:32
fatigue corruption running out of men low morale
55:37
Western Exhaustion that's what's going on The plan
55:45
offers Zelensky some some things though security guarantees.
55:50
He'll have those and he can Have elections
55:54
in a hundred days and claim that he
55:57
delivered peace he can take a victory lap
56:01
if he wants Yeah Maybe and he gets
56:07
a butt-ton of reconstruction money although The
56:13
US gets a lot of the profit and
56:16
the reconstruction money is gonna be just as
56:19
corrupt as all the rest So you'll see
56:22
some gains over there, but you'll see a
56:25
lot of oligarchs You know running off to
56:27
the u.s. With new piles of money,
56:29
too, because that's the way it is over
56:31
there But he has Zelensky does have a
56:35
gun to his head if he refuses this
56:37
in the war drags on He becomes the
56:40
man that said no to peace and lost
56:42
more land after that You know So what
56:47
about the blame game?
56:48
What about information, you know?
56:51
Al Jazeera Predicts the plan is being rolled
56:55
out in a way that sets up a
56:58
blame trap Here it goes You leak it
57:02
to axios.
57:03
You leak it to the Financial Times and
57:06
so You leak part of it to Al
57:09
Jazeera so Here and you leak it like
57:13
this.
57:13
Here's a comprehensive US plan Trump's plan That
57:18
even Russia likes all the courts It gives
57:23
Russia all the crap It said it wanted
57:26
and then you signal even worse anonymous sources
57:30
and public comments that Zelensky must accept Difficult
57:35
concessions and that the u.s. Is doing
57:39
its part meaning forcing him to do something
57:42
So if this is the trap if Kiev
57:46
and you in Europe say no Trump can
57:50
say at home, you know and and and
57:53
talking to other people who are looking to
57:55
get elected this year on the Republican side
57:58
He can say while campaigning for them that
58:02
we brought a serious plan and even the
58:04
Russians would sign it and Ukraine refused Ukraine
58:09
is keeping the war going, right?
58:13
This is exactly what it is it's a
58:15
PR move designed to shift the narrative away
58:18
from Trump and into the Unreasonable Ukrainians and
58:22
EU which is where it belongs anyway So
58:26
I'm I mean, that's the plan.
58:29
That's the if you want to call it
58:30
Russian disinformation But this time it's coming from
58:33
somewhere else.
58:34
Maybe we should talk about About Al Jazeera
58:38
disinformation or Anywhere else where else does it
58:43
come from axios disinformation, right?
58:47
Well, what about the legality of these personal
58:50
safety guarantees amnesty isn't just for Russians It'll
58:54
protect a bunch of Ukrainian officials and commanders
58:57
and oligarchs who've made their fortunes on this
59:00
war They are rich and it'll offer a
59:04
clean exit for Zelensky and his circle no
59:10
investigations No Tribunals know who stole what they
59:15
can then get to their post-war theft
59:18
and politics or Exile and they can join
59:23
something else.
59:24
So the other lever is sign this and
59:26
you're safe Refuse and when this does collapse,
59:30
you might not be so lucky you might
59:33
be targeted For being thrown in prison, right?
59:39
hmm So what would this mean for the
59:45
war itself I mean seriously if this thing
59:48
or something like it is forced through what
59:50
do we get?
59:51
What did what does anybody get what does
59:54
the world?
59:55
Finally get Russia gets formal recognition of its
1:00:01
Territorial gains and locks in the land corridor
1:00:05
to Crimea plus the full Donbass, which is
1:00:09
theirs anyway Ukraine is shrunk permanently non-aligned
1:00:14
a Demilitarized buffer call it Ukraine minus Moscow
1:00:20
gets sanctions relief Reintegration and they never have
1:00:25
to admit defeat or wrongdoing.
1:00:28
I Don't think they've been defeated.
1:00:30
I mean, why would they have to admit
1:00:31
defeat?
1:00:32
They've won and the wrongdoing I Wonder if
1:00:37
you can really call it wrongdoing myself What
1:00:41
about Ukrainian wrongdoing?
1:00:42
What about Western wrongdoing?
1:00:45
What about European and u.s. Wrongdoing?
1:00:47
Where's the chemical weapons discussion?
1:00:49
Where's the building up of Ukraine into the
1:00:53
attack dog for the West, where's all that?
1:00:57
Hmm the front line becomes the de facto
1:00:59
new border So the line of contact in
1:01:02
her son's upper Asia the Dnieper River, which
1:01:05
oh gee I think I may have said
1:01:07
that they're gonna get to the Dnieper River
1:01:09
and they didn't get all the way to
1:01:12
the north part of the Dnieper, but they're
1:01:14
at the Dnieper River and They Have a
1:01:19
demilitarized strip You know in an area in
1:01:23
the Donbass any attempt by Ukraine to later
1:01:25
change this voids the u.s. Security guarantees
1:01:30
That's it.
1:01:31
And but the conflict doesn't disappear it freezes,
1:01:35
right?
1:01:36
So you can expect probably low-level guerrilla
1:01:42
attacks sabotage terrorism on both sides intelligence war
1:01:48
between the two constant arguments over implementation elects
1:01:53
elections language church statuses Minority rights, you know
1:01:58
that type of thing, but the large-scale
1:02:00
conventional phase of the war would be over
1:02:03
because Ukraine is physically unable to sustain it
1:02:08
if Trump can pull this off.
1:02:10
He's really Doing Ukraine a favor Right This
1:02:17
victory is comes with a Western stamp with
1:02:21
a Trump stamp Moscow's early conditions can be
1:02:25
written up as Trump's peace vision even though
1:02:29
they're all Russia's peace vision and have been
1:02:31
for a long time and The u.s.
1:02:34
Gets money And they get to use that
1:02:37
money and legal instruments to lock in peace
1:02:41
and money So I Don't know.
1:02:45
I find it pretty interesting.
1:02:48
They talked about in a lot of these
1:02:52
the Emotional angle, you know the Ukrainian families
1:03:00
that are missing bodies, you know and don't
1:03:02
know what they are.
1:03:02
They finally get to know about it the
1:03:06
myth of the Western wonder weapons Is gone
1:03:12
people know that's a that's nonsense For attackums
1:03:18
all get shot down they mocked the Ukrainian
1:03:21
general staff Statements and Western media hypes of
1:03:25
all the German leopard tanks the u.s
1:03:29
Bradley fighting vehicles the u.s. Abrams tanks
1:03:33
destroyed.
1:03:34
You don't hear anything about that anymore.
1:03:36
Do you?
1:03:37
You don't hear anything about it none of
1:03:41
them exist They're they're gone And have been
1:03:48
for a year.
1:03:49
There's I I saw I saw something Three
1:03:53
four months ago, I think Is the last
1:03:57
I saw of a Bradley fighting vehicle.
1:04:02
Where are they?
1:04:05
When's the last time you heard about an
1:04:06
f-16?
1:04:08
Over there crazy stuff Let's see, how did
1:04:17
he put it he put a Loud Laughs
1:04:25
about Western Media around so-called The existence
1:04:34
of a plan of the US in Ukraine
1:04:37
Western media noise over a Supposed u.s.
1:04:41
Plan and They are skeptical that this is
1:04:44
really on paper yet with Axios has been
1:04:47
the only ones to leak it He says
1:04:51
the all of them on that Soloviev live
1:04:55
said the West knows Ukraine is beaten.
1:04:57
They know it the Americans are looking for
1:05:01
an exit and Kiev is being lined up
1:05:04
to take the blame if they refuse well
1:05:08
They are they have been to blame for
1:05:10
the last, you know Quite a few months,
1:05:13
you know, they haven't they haven't even seriously
1:05:16
considered any sort of peace option not remotely
1:05:20
They've denied since at least June If not
1:05:25
before that remember when Istanbul started up again
1:05:28
And they you know, the Russians have been
1:05:30
saying we've been waiting for them to get
1:05:32
back with us with some new talking points
1:05:35
We all said where we were going to
1:05:36
go and that we'd meet again in a
1:05:38
couple of weeks never happened these narratives about
1:05:42
Pokrovskaya in the front line the Russia's grinding
1:05:46
forward all over the front lines and Ukraine
1:05:50
is out of men running out of ammo
1:05:53
and Everybody's admitting this the Russians are winning
1:05:57
slowly on the ground and the u.s.
1:06:00
Is looking for diplomacy now To cover the
1:06:04
fact that they were beaten again You know
1:06:07
that the West has been beaten again, right?
1:06:12
What did Zakharova say in her briefing today?
1:06:15
Her briefing covered a ton of ground though.
1:06:18
She she she covered Lavrov scheduled Belarus Ukrainian
1:06:22
drone attacks on Russian civilians in in Belgrade
1:06:29
and Kursk areas Strikes on Nova Nova Voronezh
1:06:34
a nuclear power plant again So they're there,
1:06:38
you know, the Ukrainians are still you know,
1:06:40
trying to force some kind of a big
1:06:43
blow up at some nuclear power plants all
1:06:50
of Volgograd to and Voronezh including the Nova
1:06:54
Voronezh nuclear power plant that's bad stuff and
1:06:57
that kids are getting killed, you know, she
1:06:59
talks about that She said the Kievan neo
1:07:03
-nazis Continue to attack civilian Targets and terrorizing
1:07:12
peaceful population, it's how she put it and
1:07:17
Her position or what she talked about as
1:07:20
far as the 28-point peace plan She
1:07:23
said that she was actually Covered in two
1:07:28
different places one on tasks and one in
1:07:30
her briefing, right and Moscow has seen numerous
1:07:34
media reports describing the various points of this
1:07:38
plan, but no official proposal has been received
1:07:41
and that such issues have to go through
1:07:44
official channels not media and Russia's hands are
1:07:48
clean.
1:07:48
They get a look constructive and cautious, you
1:07:51
know and say, you know, we'll deal with
1:07:54
it Whatever shows up but in a later
1:07:57
part of her briefing, she said that the
1:08:01
they want For sure.
1:08:04
They they must have the sovereign equality of
1:08:06
states respect for civilizational diversity and a varied
1:08:11
variety of of What do you call it
1:08:18
cultures Russian and Ukrainian and Western attempts to
1:08:22
impose their own order versus sanctions and military
1:08:25
blockades have been wrong from the jump.
1:08:27
She says and She links u.s. Sanctions
1:08:30
plans even now against Russia's trading partners back
1:08:35
to Trump says destructive for global economic stability
1:08:40
So while the Western media is spinning Trump's
1:08:44
28-point vision Zakharova tells everybody Russia hasn't
1:08:49
received a thing Kiev is still using Western
1:08:52
weapons to hit civilians and nuclear infrastructure.
1:08:55
So she is doubtful That is doubtful from
1:09:01
her point of view.
1:09:02
I would think so So, how do you
1:09:06
think they're gonna sell this or force it
1:09:09
upon them?
1:09:11
How is it?
1:09:13
I I don't know But I don't I'm
1:09:16
not so positive that it's gonna be such
1:09:18
a hard sell because Ukraine's losing I mean
1:09:21
they're losing bad and They were talking Zelensky
1:09:26
was talking several days ago that he needs
1:09:28
40,000 a month people new soldiers 40
1:09:33
,000 a month if they were winning why
1:09:35
would they need that many?
1:09:36
They wouldn't they were there because if they're
1:09:39
getting killed that you know That quickly that
1:09:45
they need 40,000 more It is not
1:09:49
going well, it is just not going well
1:09:53
at all.
1:09:54
So I Don't know this is What would
1:10:02
the security look for we don't know how
1:10:05
that would look the security lines I think
1:10:09
that that it's probably not going to I'm
1:10:13
interested to see the reactions on there.
1:10:16
Supposedly we were gonna get some Some new
1:10:20
opinions on it, but I haven't seen anything
1:10:23
new Although sometimes this late at night, you'll
1:10:27
get some new Articles that are put out
1:10:33
for the morning and but there's nothing there
1:10:36
it's there's there's there's no new good stuff
1:10:41
That's that's come out I did want to
1:10:45
get into what is going on with the
1:10:49
Baltic Sea right now that is Kind of
1:10:54
distressing, you know, because this is all part
1:10:57
of it in this confrontation zone because NATO
1:11:00
is is doing all kinds of This is
1:11:05
when the Maria Zakharova was talking about it,
1:11:08
too So that she says NATO has turned
1:11:11
the Baltic Sea into an area of more
1:11:14
and more military confrontation and She says the
1:11:19
block is unwilling to discuss de-escalation It's
1:11:24
gonna have to be Trump that does it
1:11:26
I guess her remarks Come amid rising anti
1:11:30
-russian discussions in Estonia Latvia Lithuania Which are
1:11:35
you know, I reported from Lithuania back in
1:11:38
what was it September and they are very
1:11:44
I Don't know what angry You're an angry
1:11:50
little elf aren't you?
1:11:51
Well, they're all angry little elves in Lithuania.
1:11:54
I tell you what they were they're just
1:11:56
angry little people And Zakharova said the region
1:12:00
has long been a space of trade and
1:12:02
peaceful cooperation but It's being dismantled by NATO's
1:12:08
military build-up this part of Europe She
1:12:11
says has been turned into a zone of
1:12:14
confrontation Which sharply escalated as a result of
1:12:19
Finland and Sweden?
1:12:21
Joining the block the NATO block It's what
1:12:24
she said yesterday so she pointed out that
1:12:29
NATO's 2025 launch of what they called Baltic
1:12:34
sentry in an attempt to impose new navigation
1:12:38
rules and turn the the sea into the
1:12:43
blocks internal waters She says those are doomed
1:12:47
to fail and she insists that Russia will
1:12:49
remain a full-fledged member of the Baltic
1:12:52
community So this Baltic sentry project They call
1:12:58
it Critical they say they're protecting critical undersea
1:13:04
infrastructure after recent incidents Remember when they were
1:13:08
saying that there were communication lines cables that
1:13:11
were destroyed What about?
1:13:15
Nord Stream 2 getting destroyed right and so
1:13:21
There's been a big build-up in NATO
1:13:23
there It's very difficult to see any potential
1:13:27
for dialogue They're all saying aimed at reducing
1:13:31
tensions and NATO countries are not showing any
1:13:34
openness to honest discussion on ways to de
1:13:38
-escalate says Zakharova Estonia Latvia Lithuania adopt an
1:13:43
increasingly confrontational stance Officials like Andreas Koubilias who's
1:13:51
a former Lithuanian prime minister Continue to invoke
1:13:55
an alleged Russian threat to justify Much higher
1:13:59
military spending Koubilias warned this week of a
1:14:02
possible Conflict with Russia within two to four
1:14:05
years.
1:14:06
They all keep talking about it meaning.
1:14:09
This is what they want right?
1:14:11
Moscow has rejected claims of any hostile intent
1:14:14
of course denounces what it calls the West's
1:14:17
Reckless militarization and Zakharova stresses that Russia will
1:14:22
use all available legal means to safeguard its
1:14:26
own national security interests Same thing you heard
1:14:31
in Ukraine So even if we get rid
1:14:34
of Ukraine does it mean we got to
1:14:35
start all over again?
1:14:37
Who's gonna jump then and blame it on
1:14:39
Russia?
1:14:41
I?
1:14:41
Mean this whole war has been blamed on
1:14:43
Russia, right?
1:14:47
crazy stuff Reuters has said that that Washington
1:14:54
is demanding that Kiev accept the u.s.
1:14:57
Drafted peace plan so They're they're not allegedly
1:15:03
not giving Ukraine any choice they must accept
1:15:09
so That plan the 28 points that we
1:15:14
went over at length Reuters is quoting anonymous
1:15:18
sources saying that Washington wants Kiev to accept
1:15:22
the main points They just got to accept
1:15:27
Axios Financial Times Who else everybody is now
1:15:33
saying it claimed that the document?
1:15:35
stipulates recognizing Russian as an official language in
1:15:39
Ukraine Crazy stuff there.
1:15:44
I can't imagine they're going to do it
1:15:47
I Might just I can't believe I I
1:15:51
I think this is gonna be a big
1:15:54
no-go the EU Has already rejected it
1:15:59
the genius Kasia Kala Kasia Kala's She's on
1:16:04
the front page of an article right European
1:16:07
Union is pushing back Against the latest US
1:16:10
proposed plan saying the settlement must reflect positions
1:16:15
of Brussels Yeah, why?
1:16:18
What does Brussels have to do with it?
1:16:21
nothing, so In my opinion who gives a
1:16:25
crap that the the fact is you can
1:16:28
bring Ukraine into the EU all you want
1:16:31
But do you want NATO?
1:16:32
Good luck u.s. Won't let him in
1:16:35
I think the old trumpster may have said
1:16:37
that now in this 28-point plan The
1:16:41
Western media is claiming was developed in coordination
1:16:44
with Moscow, but not the EU so We've
1:16:51
already told about it President Trump Is supposed
1:16:54
to well according to Zelensky anyway?
1:16:57
He says he hopes to Speak with US
1:17:02
President Donald Trump in the coming days is
1:17:06
what he says We shall have to see
1:17:11
Kasia Kala says that any peace arrangement has
1:17:14
to reflect the positions of Both the the
1:17:18
block the EU and Ukraine and says that
1:17:22
the u.s. Proposal offered No concessions from
1:17:27
the Russian side Well, I didn't see a
1:17:29
whole lot there on the Russian side either
1:17:31
except the freakin money You guys have been
1:17:34
trying to steal from them for years The
1:17:37
300 billion that are in Brussels in a
1:17:39
bank and Trump's trying to take it all
1:17:42
to Trump's after the money So French Foreign
1:17:47
Minister Jean-Noël Barat Barreau I don't know
1:17:50
if you pronounce the T or not was
1:17:52
quoted by Reuters as saying that any agreement
1:17:56
must not amount to capitulation What else you
1:18:02
got if You guys aren't willing to go
1:18:05
in there and fight which you're not and
1:18:08
Russia would bomb the snot out of you
1:18:10
if you did Then what is left?
1:18:15
Ukraine doesn't have any ability to win this
1:18:17
war that isn't gonna change it hasn't changed
1:18:21
in four years And it's not gonna change
1:18:24
now unless what are you gonna?
1:18:25
Do go nuclear?
1:18:27
You want to go nuclear on this you
1:18:29
morons?
1:18:32
bad plan for all of us if you
1:18:35
do idiots and There are other ministers that
1:18:40
have said they haven't seen the document and
1:18:42
would need clarification Well, geez, the only way
1:18:44
you can get it is to read axios
1:18:47
Who gets it?
1:18:48
How does it get around there a great
1:18:50
government working, huh?
1:18:52
Moscow has always said that the EU is
1:18:55
obstructing US and Russian diplomatic efforts to get
1:18:58
rid of the conflict Instead they're working to
1:19:02
prolong the hostilities and they're still doing the
1:19:06
same thing This is the next open-ended
1:19:10
pledge of support financially Politically you know and
1:19:16
corruption also, you know, you support their corruption
1:19:19
if you don't take care of this problem
1:19:21
and So Russia, I mean Russia's calling it
1:19:25
like it is, right?
1:19:27
and According to Germany's Kiel Institute the EU
1:19:32
has committed 75 billion in Aid to Ukraine
1:19:39
since 2022 We've done a hell of a
1:19:44
lot more than that, you know under the
1:19:45
Biden Biden block, right?
1:19:48
Kremlin's is remains open to peace But says
1:19:51
Kiev is only seeking to keep the fighting
1:19:53
going on.
1:19:54
That's true Lavrov had a Had a an
1:20:01
interesting Appearance today and He said well, it
1:20:08
wasn't today is actually a couple of days
1:20:10
ago But he said that EU nations are
1:20:13
trying to elbow their way into the Ukrainian
1:20:15
peace process Despite their openly hostile stance toward
1:20:20
Russia That's what he said Speaking at an
1:20:24
embassy roundtable on Wednesday Lavrov said that the
1:20:29
EU countries are clearly trying quite brazenly to
1:20:34
reclaim a place at the negotiating table But
1:20:38
the minister said they have no business there
1:20:42
the block he said maintains a position of
1:20:45
revanchism of inflicting strategic defeat upon Russia While
1:20:51
debating potential troop deployment to Ukraine in case
1:20:54
of a ceasefire Of course, there is no
1:20:57
place for it or them at the negotiating
1:21:00
table Moscow is consistently opposed deployment of Western
1:21:05
troops Yep, he said that well everybody has
1:21:13
said for a long time that if there
1:21:15
were Western or NATO troops They're all legitimate
1:21:17
military targets to get there Lavrov noted that
1:21:21
both the EU and Kiev are seeking to
1:21:23
convince Trumpster to abandon his push to settle
1:21:27
the conflict and relapse into a Standoff with
1:21:33
Russia he said Everybody else wants essentially to
1:21:39
turn Biden's war into Trump's war, right?
1:21:44
That's what Lavrov said.
1:21:45
No, I've said it already is Trump's war
1:21:48
So, you know, but he pointed out that
1:21:51
Trump has been seeking to mediate an end
1:21:54
to the conflict And he spearheaded, you know
1:21:59
Decent amount of discussions.
1:22:01
I mean, what's he done?
1:22:02
He's done more than anybody else It just
1:22:05
hasn't been successful and I've always said he's
1:22:07
just gonna have to force this or Cut
1:22:12
off Ukraine and I think maybe he's listening
1:22:16
Maybe he is listening to the people like
1:22:18
me that have been right from the get
1:22:21
-go Did you guys hear that Stephen King's
1:22:25
book it was pulled from shelves in Russia
1:22:29
Now, I'm not sure I care about this
1:22:31
when I've read it.
1:22:32
I watched it on television.
1:22:34
I didn't like the new one It's it's
1:22:37
too horrifying for me.
1:22:38
But the old one was not too bad.
1:22:40
Was it a TV miniseries or something?
1:22:44
But Stephen King has been very very anti
1:22:49
-russia.
1:22:49
I don't think the guy knows what he's
1:22:51
talking about as far as this he should
1:22:53
stick to he I listened to a few
1:22:56
of his rants in the beginning of all
1:22:59
of this back not to begin the beginning
1:23:01
of the horror story was He was talking
1:23:08
about Ukraine being so positive and nothing and
1:23:12
nothing but negative about Russia.
1:23:14
He's nuts.
1:23:14
He doesn't know what he's talking about but
1:23:17
he says His well, his books were pulled
1:23:20
and the story goes it has been pulled
1:23:23
from sales in Russian bookstores and online marketplaces
1:23:30
according to Russian media reports on Thursday, this
1:23:33
just happened and I don't get it because
1:23:36
I've read this book, but it was a
1:23:38
while ago and it says One of his
1:23:43
most popular works that was published in 1986
1:23:47
it contains a controversial set of content including
1:23:54
a scene widely described as an orgy Involved
1:24:02
involving minors and characters with non-traditional sexual
1:24:07
orientations I don't remember this at all in
1:24:11
it and I'd have to go back and
1:24:14
and find it I suppose but Russia has
1:24:19
banned content that promotes same-sex relations in
1:24:25
2022 Although there's no official blacklist of Prohibited
1:24:32
literature that's not the state's business over there,
1:24:35
but a major retailer removed more than 250
1:24:41
books in 2024 including some of Stephen King's
1:24:45
so the Russia's leading publisher AST told the
1:24:51
business daily Vidim and videomisty that it had
1:24:57
temporarily withdrawn King's book it in order to
1:25:02
update product marking issues Which is a reference
1:25:06
to age restriction and content warning labels required
1:25:10
under Russian law so AST has long sold
1:25:16
it with a 16 plus age label but
1:25:22
It says that there was something containing an
1:25:26
LGBT related theme so that it had to
1:25:29
be an 18 plus instead of a 16
1:25:31
plus book, right and Bookstores in Russia are
1:25:35
freaking fantastic.
1:25:37
You know, I've gone into a bunch of
1:25:38
them books are cheap and they're they're everywhere
1:25:42
and peep I mean it's like It used
1:25:46
to be here.
1:25:46
I mean the bookstores are I love it
1:25:48
over there.
1:25:49
We're going to all these bookstores there are
1:25:50
tons of them, but I And and you
1:25:54
see these labels on them that say 16
1:25:56
plus 18 plus, you know, whatever But they
1:25:59
have a store called wild berries.
1:26:01
I've told you about that before and it
1:26:05
says that it complies with Legislation does not
1:26:10
allow the sale of products prohibited in Russia
1:26:13
But I don't think that it has anything
1:26:18
like that in there maybe somebody could remind
1:26:21
me if that was the case, but I
1:26:22
really don't think so and I'd have to
1:26:25
Check it out.
1:26:26
But here here here about this King has
1:26:31
he ceased working with his Russian publishers in
1:26:35
March of 2022 after well, remember the UK
1:26:39
the the escalation of The Ukraine conflict started,
1:26:45
you know when they went up that started
1:26:47
in February 2022 and He has actively supported
1:26:52
Kiev in the ongoing conflict and and accuses
1:26:55
Russian forces he has done it many times
1:26:58
of killing civilians, but he doesn't ever say
1:27:01
anything about the other way around I'm not
1:27:03
saying that there aren't errors on both sides,
1:27:07
but I Think there's some intentional ones on
1:27:10
the Ukrainian side and I haven't seen very
1:27:13
many of those if any at all on
1:27:17
the Russian side So I'd challenge that guy
1:27:20
to get his story straight and do a
1:27:22
little bit of research or quit talking about
1:27:25
it Because there's plenty of those stories on
1:27:28
the other side tons of them and It
1:27:33
seems to me that the more Famous you
1:27:36
are the more you like to take these
1:27:39
stories and twist them Something else just came
1:27:44
out Not too long ago That talks about
1:27:48
in the last couple of minutes Ukrainian MPs
1:27:52
are publishing the terms of the new peace
1:27:54
deal to they say they got a draft
1:27:57
from the US and are ready to discuss
1:28:00
it and so Ukrainian opposition leader Alexei gone
1:28:06
Sharenko.
1:28:07
He published the text of the plan Presented
1:28:10
to Kiev by the US administration And he
1:28:13
posted it on the social media which are
1:28:16
screenshots of the Ukrainian language electronic document that
1:28:20
detailed the 28-point plan so in the
1:28:25
full text he said he put all He
1:28:29
put every bit of it out there all
1:28:31
28 points in in Ukrainian and So he
1:28:37
I mean he it's listed his post is
1:28:40
out here I had to translate it, but
1:28:43
it's definitely out here, so it was posted
1:28:46
late last well for them It's it's now
1:28:51
early morning, but Before the evening last night.
1:28:56
He put it out as well, so It
1:29:00
came out it came out about Probably 6
1:29:03
7 p.m. Ukraine time so There you
1:29:08
have it.
1:29:08
We shall see what will happen on this
1:29:11
and it'd be nice to get some Some
1:29:14
peace in the world wouldn't it regardless.
1:29:17
I mean Jesus de-escalation or De-escalation
1:29:20
needs to occur and I'd be happy to
1:29:24
see it This is my last show of
1:29:28
