Transcript
- 0:05Hi. I'm Jay felon, and thank you for
- 0:07listening to the slippery, slope a before we get started I just
- 0:11just ask you could please like and share the podcast, whatever
- 0:15platform you're listening on and you can also go to our WordPress
- 0:19site and like and share their as well or our sub stack science
- 0:23and buy me a coffee be greatly appreciated.
- 0:25Thank you very much. So listen for a quite a while
- 0:29people. All around the world have been
- 0:31questioning. The type of leader that a lot of
- 0:34mere zalenski is there's been a lot of questions about him.
- 0:38People don't a lot of people that don't trust him.
- 0:42Generally, he does seem to be a good leader.
- 0:44He's really brought his country along with him against well with
- 0:48this war against Russia and look.
- 0:52He's really stood up strongly defiantly against Russia, which
- 0:56I think it's probably not a bad thing to be honest but him as
- 1:00Leader, what are his aspirations?
- 1:02What's people? Questioned his end goal and I've
- 1:05heard a lot of people question, whether he is, maybe not the
- 1:09good man. That is portrayed in the media.
- 1:14Anyway, I'm not really sure what I think of him in general, but
- 1:17this headline here, I thought was very interesting.
- 1:20It says that that Garry Kasparov says Rishi soon.
- 1:25Acts first call as UK prime minister was to the leader of
- 1:31the Free World. It wasn't Joe Biden.
- 1:34So, Gary Kasparov is a Russian Grandmaster chess champion who
- 1:41holds a pro-ukraine stance. He said the new United Kingdom
- 1:46prime minister made his first call to the leader of the Free
- 1:51World. He says after Russia soon ack
- 1:54and the Ukrainian president discussed the war on Tuesday.
- 1:58So what happened? Exactly was Casper of sent out a
- 2:01tweet last Thursday saying that according to Old tradition, the
- 2:06first call by a UK prime, minister is usually made to
- 2:10Washington however, defying Arms this week soon.
- 2:15Ack, who took charge as prime minister last Tuesday made his
- 2:19first call to Vladimir zalenski and not to the US President, Joe
- 2:25Biden. Now, this is this more of a
- 2:28reflection on maybe how people are how other world leaders.
- 2:33Look at Old Smoky Joe Biden or how maybe the standing of the
- 2:37United States is is maybe Falling A little, maybe it's
- 2:42more of a reflection of that. However, it is interesting that
- 2:46he refers to zalenski as the leader of the Free World.
- 2:50Now, this article was released through benzinger and benzinger
- 2:54could not independently verify, the fact and the UK prime
- 2:58minister's office did not immediately respond to their
- 3:01requests for a comment. But they say there's olinsky was
- 3:04the first world either to speak too soon, a con Tuesday night as
- 3:08he became the new p.m. of the UK after Liz truss resigned Within
- 3:1445 days in office. One, one other thing I'd like to
- 3:18say is I am so I'm very disappointed in myself.
- 3:22I always telling my wife that this Liz trust.
- 3:25The former UK prime minister was not going to last on this than I
- 3:30thought. She would quit fairly quickly
- 3:32and lo and behold a week later. She quit.
- 3:35And I was just spewing that I hadn't told anyone else I hadn't
- 3:38put it on a platter on a podcast, I lay there for her.
- 3:41All these reasons why it looked to me, why?
- 3:43I was going to quit and she didn't know more else, too late
- 3:47anyway. I should have just said it on
- 3:48the podcast, but anyway, that was my thoughts on these trust
- 3:53who had the shortest tenure of any UK prime minister in
- 3:58history. It's unbelievable.
- 4:00So, going on in this article, lot of me is lenski says, I
- 4:04believe that the partnership between our countries as in the
- 4:08UK and, and Ukraine and the already traditional British
- 4:12leadership in defense. Us of democracy and freedom will
- 4:16be further strengthened and I invited the prime minister to
- 4:19visit Ukraine. This is whether this whether
- 4:22they did actually call the Ukraine leader first before they
- 4:27called, before the British office called the United States.
- 4:31It's just very interesting that people starting to reflect all
- 4:34starting to notice how much of a leader zalenski is and this
- 4:40referring to him, putting it out there in The Ether.
- 4:44That he is the leader of the Free World.
- 4:47He is the leader of the Free World and it's not the current
- 4:50prime minister. And I think it is also a
- 4:53reflection of how of how the United States is starting to
- 4:57fall in stature around the world.
- 5:00People aren't obviously taking as much notice in the same with
- 5:03other countries, same with the United Kingdom.
- 5:05To be honest countries. Do not look as favorably, do not
- 5:09pay as much. Respect to these nations anymore
- 5:12and what do you? You think Vladimir zalenski, is
- 5:16he the up-and-coming leader of the Free World?
- 5:19Is he possibly someone who could put his hand up and say, hey,
- 5:23how about allowing me to be the ruler of the world.
- 5:28We should bring in a one world government.
- 5:30And what about Leo me to be the, the rule of the One World
- 5:34Government? I don't know.
- 5:36I think it's just interesting that this follow calls him or
- 5:38refers to him as the leader of the Free World, Smokey, Joe
- 5:41Biden, not respected. A little bit of a dis if this is
- 5:45true coming from the UK, the UK government.
- 5:49Let me know what you think, please, thank you for your
- 5:53support. And thank you for listening to
- 5:55the slippery slope.
