I discuss the escalating conflict between Russia and Ukraine. I explain Russia's new Oreshnik, hypersonic missile, and its devastating capabilities. The world is ever so concerned that this may very well become WW3. Peace hinges on the ability of both Putin and Zelensky to come to the table and have real discussions that yield a peaceful solution, but what would that deal even look like?

00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:05.400
You are listening to a Fonts Media Network production tape.

2
00:00:05.559 --> 00:00:13.400
My eyes been fussy, like you just let me in

3
00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:19.719
my way a little world of blades of listeners, and

4
00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:26.320
welcome to episode forty nine. And I am recording on

5
00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:31.280
Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. I apologize for the

6
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:35.079
late releases. I was under the weather a bit sick

7
00:00:35.159 --> 00:00:39.240
for damn near ten days or so. In fact, my

8
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:43.119
voice is still recovering. It wasn't anything life threatening. It

9
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:46.600
was just some weird cold slash flu that wasn't a flu.

10
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:48.719
Not sure what it was, but either way, it knocked

11
00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:52.479
out my voice and really a lot of my energy level.

12
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:56.679
So here I am back. And I also want to

13
00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:00.679
well wish all of you happy Thanksgiving. I hope everyone

14
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:04.239
had a great Thanksgiving, whether you were celebrating in America,

15
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:06.920
or if you were in the military deployed overseas, or

16
00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:09.079
if you were just a broad visiting friends and family.

17
00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:12.040
Wherever you celebrated Thanksgiving, I hope that you had time

18
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:16.040
to really appreciate your friends and your family and you

19
00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:19.840
had a great day. And I also want to bring

20
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:23.920
a few other things up in regard to the show. Now,

21
00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:26.599
as far as this show is concerned. If you're a

22
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:29.200
first time listener hanging there with me, you're going to

23
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:31.640
get to know a little bit about us, about me,

24
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:35.439
maybe even the entire Fonts Media network. Now, this show

25
00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:37.519
in and of itself is not far left. We're not

26
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:40.680
far right, but I do absolutely lean more right than left.

27
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:43.319
And if that right there already triggers you and you

28
00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:46.280
got to sign off, well, have a good day. Now,

29
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:48.400
if you could hang in there, you're going to hear

30
00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:50.640
things that most others don't talk about. We do go

31
00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:55.120
over geopolitical issues, basically what's going on around the world

32
00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:59.159
and how it affects all players involved. Of course we

33
00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:02.000
do focus on what's happening with the US, but you're

34
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:06.159
going to hear that. And yes, I will talk about Republicans,

35
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:08.759
we'll talk about Democrats, we'll talk about policy, We'll talk

36
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:12.759
about politics in America in general, and our relationships with

37
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:15.960
other countries, especially those on our border. I'll say things

38
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:17.919
you may not like, I may see things you do like,

39
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:19.759
but regardless, I'm just going to tell the truth. And

40
00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:22.840
I always have told the truth based on the data

41
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:25.759
and information available at the time of my recordings. And

42
00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:30.800
as you know, information is forever changing as more things

43
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:33.120
are revealed and or people just change their minds in

44
00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:36.039
their positions. With all that being said out of the way,

45
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:39.080
thanks for hanging in, Thanks for listening. I do want

46
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:41.680
to say that we have climbed the charts on Apple

47
00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:47.280
in politics. We have achieved the rank of number seventy

48
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:50.240
five in the top two hundred in politics on the

49
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:53.719
Apple charts. Now, put that in perspective, look at any

50
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:57.560
given moment, any given day, there's three point two million

51
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:02.120
active podcasts and just in the politics category alone on Apple,

52
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:05.360
not all players, but on Apple there is I believe

53
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:09.639
anywhere between sixteen thy to twenty thousand podcasts that are

54
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:14.439
just in the politics category. Now, our current rank as

55
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:19.080
of this recording on November twenty ninth, our rank at

56
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:22.639
seventy five puts us ahead of some fairly big podcasts

57
00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:28.719
compared to us. While according to the podcast World, but

58
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:33.120
we are ahead of well Jensaki Inside with Jensackey, She's

59
00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:36.120
ranked at number ninety seven. The Stu Peters Show is

60
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:40.039
ranked at one oh five, Monica Crowley podcast is at

61
00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:43.080
number one twelve, and Robert Reich is at number one

62
00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:45.360
twenty seven, and we're ahead of them at number seventy

63
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:50.120
five in politics on Apple podcasts, and I think that's

64
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:53.439
amazing because we are independent. Look, I have no big sponsors,

65
00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:56.039
no big backers, no money, no donors, none of that.

66
00:03:56.479 --> 00:03:59.680
I'm just telling truth. I'm putting it out there, and

67
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:02.520
you're respawning, and you're listening, and I really think every

68
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:05.639
one of you and if anything, if anything, look for

69
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:07.360
your first time listener. As I said, just hang in there.

70
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:08.960
I got to get some of this housekeeping out of

71
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:12.000
the way because I want to thank everybody for listening.

72
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:14.639
And if you haven't already, even if you already listen

73
00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:18.680
to the show, it's very important that on Apple Spotify,

74
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:20.560
wherever you listen to your podcast or you're listening to

75
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:23.680
me at this moment, you need to follow or subscribe

76
00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:27.439
because that counts in our analytics and it actually helps

77
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:31.240
us understand where we need to focus our efforts. The

78
00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:33.720
other thing I needed to do is just just share

79
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:37.439
the show with others that you know would enjoy this show. Now,

80
00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:41.040
once again, thanks, and with all that out of the way,

81
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:46.920
let's move on with the show. So a lot has happened,

82
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:50.959
and the big thing everyone's still talking about because it

83
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:54.560
seems like it's getting more, I don't know, dangerous by

84
00:04:54.600 --> 00:05:01.199
the day. It's the Russia Ukraine situation. Russia Ukraine situation

85
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:05.759
because Putin, as I've already discussed in my previous episode

86
00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:09.920
number forty eight with Kurvin Oaklin, who came on to

87
00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:13.480
help shed some light on the tensions in the situation

88
00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:17.800
going on over there right now. But Putin already threatened

89
00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:22.680
to use nuclear weapons in response to Biden telling Ukraine

90
00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:27.680
it's okay to use USA made weapons, specifically attack thems

91
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:30.959
that were given to Ukraine. Now. Right after Biden gave

92
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:35.000
the green light, the UK and France stepped in and said,

93
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:37.519
you know what, We're gonna let you use our weapons

94
00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:40.319
as well, weapons that we manufacture. Go ahead, just use them.

95
00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:44.720
And this gave Ukraine the ability to strike Russian territories

96
00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:49.560
within Russia itself. Before Ukraine didn't have this. So Putin

97
00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:52.040
responded saying, hey, look, we're going to use nuclear weapons

98
00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:54.560
if we have to. And he even said that we're

99
00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:58.439
going to view this as the West being directly involved

100
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:02.399
in the fight, even though we're not physically there. He

101
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:08.040
stated that he will view the US, France, Germany, uk

102
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:12.680
whoever it is, as being directly involved. Now, as far

103
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:16.160
as the threat of nuclear weapons, Krivenin and I discussed that, Well,

104
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:18.680
it doesn't seem feasible that Putin would actually use nuclear

105
00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:21.879
weapons because it's not good for anybody. A nuclear war.

106
00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:26.240
I mean, let's be honest, nobody wins. And even if

107
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:30.000
you have a strategic nuclear missile, there's no way to

108
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:33.639
really control the fallout of that weapon. There's a chance

109
00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:37.759
to get spread over into NATO borders. We're talking like

110
00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:42.920
Poland for example, and now we are involved due to

111
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:47.879
a NATO Article five situation. Everybody just comes together and

112
00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:50.000
here we go world War three and that's not what

113
00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:52.519
we want. And regardless of all that, we don't think

114
00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:55.839
that's going to happen. So what Putin did, though, what

115
00:06:55.839 --> 00:07:01.560
Putin did in response to this, he launched an attack

116
00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:06.560
on Ukraine. Ukraine launched an attack on Russia using attackers.

117
00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:10.800
And while they did launch against Russia, they didn't hit

118
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:14.160
any major territories. They pretty much just focused on military

119
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:19.279
basis or military installations. And that was a good thing

120
00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:23.319
because we didn't We didn't see Ukraine attack any civilians. Now,

121
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:26.560
if they did, we might be having a different discussion

122
00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:31.399
right now. But Russia did respond, and so President Vladimir

123
00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:34.360
Putin he went ahead, and I believe it was on

124
00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:36.399
November twenty first. I'm not sure if that was the

125
00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:39.040
actual date of the attack or if that is when

126
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:42.199
he made the announcement, but he did admit to launching

127
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:46.600
an attack on a military facility in Ukraine using a

128
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:50.240
long range weapon. Well I believe it was a long

129
00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:53.240
range or a medium range weapon, but regardless, it was

130
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:56.079
a new weapon, a new missile that hasn't been used before,

131
00:07:56.600 --> 00:08:01.000
specifically a hypersonic missile. Now, with this hypersonic missile, and

132
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:05.040
I believe it's called the Orshnik. I believe that is

133
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:07.439
what they're naming this, or at least that's what Russia

134
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:11.240
is naming this. It's very scary. It's very scary to

135
00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:14.680
think of because of its capabilities. The use of this

136
00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:17.800
weapon really makes it to where you don't need to

137
00:08:17.879 --> 00:08:21.480
use a nuclear warhead or a nuclear weapon, because this Orshnik,

138
00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:25.879
this hypersonic weapon that Russia has in its possession and

139
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:29.720
already has used against Ukraine, has the ability to travel

140
00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:33.320
at super high speeds. And I'm talking between mock ten

141
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:36.559
and up to Mock twelve. Okay, So that's literally ten

142
00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:42.320
to twelve times a speed of sound. That is crazy.

143
00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:45.320
That also means that it is a super hard weapon

144
00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:48.240
to intercept and defend against. The Other thing that's crazy

145
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:54.240
about this weapon is it can or does carry six

146
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:59.200
individual warheads as it's payload. So once it gets to

147
00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:01.919
his target, it could then go ahead and launch these

148
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:05.799
six individual warheads, which from my understanding, can be targeted

149
00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:10.879
to six different targets itself, So they could launch hit

150
00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:15.639
six different positions or six different targets. Was scary about

151
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:19.200
what the well, what has just happened with this attack

152
00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:23.960
that Putin has admitted to launching against Ukraine and effectively

153
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:29.480
destroyed Ukraine military targets, is that this particular attack didn't

154
00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:34.480
even have any actual warheads that would be considered, I

155
00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:37.360
don't know, dangerous, Like there wasn't any explosive warheads. There

156
00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:40.559
weren't any nuclear warheads, nothing like that was in this

157
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:46.440
particular missile that he launched. But the kinetic energy, the

158
00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:51.080
kinetic energy and force due to the speed of this rashnik,

159
00:09:51.559 --> 00:09:54.399
due to the speed of this hypersonic missile and the

160
00:09:54.440 --> 00:10:01.000
ability to deliver its six warhead payload force alone was

161
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:06.720
enough to destroy these military bases that were underground, and

162
00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:09.159
it's scary. There's videos out there that if you watch it,

163
00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:13.159
this thing actually looks like a comet. That's how fastest

164
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:15.879
thing is flying. It looks like a comet. Some have

165
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:18.360
called it an angel of death, the comet of death,

166
00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:22.039
and it makes a horrific sound as it's flying through

167
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:27.159
the air. So with this capability alone, and the ability

168
00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:32.279
to strategically target and control the damage and fallout, Putin

169
00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:36.559
doesn't even have to threaten nuclear weapons whatsoever. It doesn't

170
00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:38.879
even have to use them. Because if he was able

171
00:10:38.879 --> 00:10:41.840
to achieve this damage without even having a warhead that

172
00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:45.279
had any explosives on it, imagine what would happen if

173
00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:51.200
he did load this thing with explosives. The damage would

174
00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:54.879
be devastating. The damage would be devastating. There would be

175
00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:58.360
just about nothing you can do. Now. In response to

176
00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:04.559
Russia's use of the Orosnik or the hypersonic missile, it

177
00:11:04.559 --> 00:11:07.679
has been reported that Biden is considering giving Ukraine nuclear

178
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:11.600
weapons as a deterrent against Russia. It's been reported by

179
00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:14.600
The New York Times that several officials even suggested that

180
00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:17.559
mister Biden could return nuclear weapons to Ukraine, that were

181
00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:20.279
taken from it after the fall of the Soviet Union,

182
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:24.159
that would be an instant and enormous deterrent. But such

183
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:28.000
a step would be complicated and have serious implications. Well,

184
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:31.480
of course it will. They'll have very serious implications because

185
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:36.360
it would mean that the US is an antagonist and

186
00:11:36.440 --> 00:11:39.960
trying to push this conflict into a nuclear war, and

187
00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:42.759
that the US is in full support of going to

188
00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:47.759
a war with nuclear capabilities and possibly even starting World

189
00:11:47.799 --> 00:11:52.279
War III. Now, if Putin was able to attack Ukraine

190
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:56.879
with an roshnik or hypersonic missile and delivered the strategic

191
00:11:57.039 --> 00:12:00.879
damage that he did not using any explode of warheads,

192
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:04.159
what do you think is gonna happen once he arms

193
00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:09.080
this weapon or this missile with well explosive warheads. What

194
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:12.159
do you think is gonna happen? It's gonna be devastating.

195
00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:16.840
Here's here's a perfect example of what could happen. Russia's

196
00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:20.720
new hypersonic missile, and this has just been reported by

197
00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:23.480
bricks News, but it goes on to say that Russia's

198
00:12:23.480 --> 00:12:27.679
new hypersonic missile or Esshnik, comes equipped comes equipped with

199
00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:32.200
an extremely powerful thermal warhead that burns at four thousand

200
00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:36.720
degrees celsius. That's hot enough to vaporize concrete, destroy even

201
00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:40.080
the most hardened military hardware, and even melt steel beams

202
00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:44.960
stealing out to a fifteen hundred degrees celsius and aluminum

203
00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:48.440
sorry at six hundred degrees celsius. Now think about that.

204
00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:53.440
Think about that. If it's hot enough to melt concrete, aluminum,

205
00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:58.480
and steel, and it can be maintained without the fallout

206
00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:03.879
of a nuclear warhead, this makes the Roshnik an extremely

207
00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:09.840
invaluable weapon and an extremely dangerous weapon. And again, it

208
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:14.559
can carry six warheads and the damn missile flies at

209
00:13:14.799 --> 00:13:18.480
mock ten or even up to mock twelve. So do

210
00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:22.639
you think Russia is really that worried about USA made

211
00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:28.840
attacks or even French or German made armaments at this point?

212
00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:34.320
Not really. But as I stated earlier, the only response

213
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:38.799
by the US is to give Ukraine back its nuclear

214
00:13:38.840 --> 00:13:44.120
weapons that once had before the fall of the Soviet Union. Now,

215
00:13:44.320 --> 00:13:47.600
what do the other world powers think about this situation?

216
00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:50.679
I honestly am wondering where's China and all this? China

217
00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:55.480
is one of Russia's biggest supporters. Why while they're both communists,

218
00:13:55.919 --> 00:13:59.879
they're both part of the same team, with China being

219
00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:04.200
leader of that team currently, but China has has been

220
00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:06.559
a little hands off in the situation. I don't think

221
00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:09.720
they wanted to get super involved because China's trying. They're

222
00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:14.559
trying to change direction. They're trying to change their public appearance,

223
00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:17.960
so to speak, by being a mediator and negotiator of

224
00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:22.080
peace and funding different countries with currencies so that they

225
00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:26.120
can get things done. Of course, almost anything that China

226
00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:28.799
gets involved with is really for the benefit of China.

227
00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:31.919
But regardless, China doesn't want to be viewed as an

228
00:14:32.039 --> 00:14:37.279
enemy of the world. So with that being said, China

229
00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:41.519
finally spoke up, and China really wants everybody to well

230
00:14:42.039 --> 00:14:44.919
cool their jets a bit. Let's let's stop talking about

231
00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:51.519
all this nuclear confrontation because they know it's bad for everybody.

232
00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:55.840
Another Bricks News report here, China says all parties must

233
00:14:55.879 --> 00:14:59.559
remain calm and exercise restraint following Ukraine's use of US

234
00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:04.519
and UK supplied missiles to strike Russia. China's stance of

235
00:15:04.639 --> 00:15:09.720
encouraging all parties to de escalate the situation and commit

236
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:13.720
to a political resolution of the Ukraine crisis remains unchanged.

237
00:15:14.120 --> 00:15:18.000
China will continue to play a constructive role in these regards.

238
00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:20.639
So China themselves doesn't want to see a nuclear war,

239
00:15:21.080 --> 00:15:23.000
but they're also not saying they're ever going to really

240
00:15:23.039 --> 00:15:26.720
get involved now as far as nuclear weapons are concerned.

241
00:15:27.080 --> 00:15:30.279
While the Biden administration has said that they've considered giving

242
00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:34.399
back Ukraine these nuclear weapons, I haven't seen anything that

243
00:15:34.440 --> 00:15:38.240
confirms that they actually did give Ukraine back their nuclear weapons.

244
00:15:38.320 --> 00:15:42.720
And I'm sure that look the Biden team. Regards of

245
00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:45.600
what you think of Biden, Look he's on his way out,

246
00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:48.720
he's done. But I don't believe he's stupid enough to

247
00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:51.559
give Zolensky nuclear weapons at that point, because I don't

248
00:15:51.559 --> 00:15:55.759
believe that Zelensky is restrained enough to understand that you

249
00:15:55.840 --> 00:16:00.399
can't use nuclear weapons. You just can't. It's not going

250
00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:04.039
to be good for the world whatsoever. So while these

251
00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:07.720
reports and these claims have come out, it's still bad

252
00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:11.320
that it was said. It's still bad that the reports

253
00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:13.960
were even out there for the public to read anyway,

254
00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:16.159
because if we can read it, then you for sure

255
00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:18.600
as he'll know that every other world leader already has

256
00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:23.039
this information well before we even see it. So these

257
00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:25.600
statements are dangerous to make and I get it. I

258
00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:30.639
get it. You're look, you're trying to alleviate the situation,

259
00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:35.000
but threatening nuclear war is not the way to do it. Now,

260
00:16:35.200 --> 00:16:39.039
we can talk about allies for a second here, because

261
00:16:39.080 --> 00:16:42.919
while Russia will see the UK and Germany and France

262
00:16:43.240 --> 00:16:46.240
and the USA is being directly involved by supporting the

263
00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:52.039
Ukraine with weapons made by said countries, have we all

264
00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:56.200
forgotten that Russia also has allies? Listen, Iran has been

265
00:16:56.240 --> 00:17:02.360
supporting Russia and their efforts against the Ukraine since the beginning.

266
00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:05.519
Iran has been an ally of Russia for quite some

267
00:17:05.559 --> 00:17:08.839
time now. I don't understand that relationship because Iran as

268
00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:14.799
an Islamic state currently they believe in ruling the entire

269
00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:18.240
world and converting the world to Islam, and Russia is

270
00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:22.400
a Catholic faith based nation, and so I'm not sure

271
00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:28.359
how how those those two partnerships even come together. But regardless,

272
00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:32.880
as of now, they're they're they're supporting each other. And

273
00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:35.839
then North Korea. Now I already I already reported that

274
00:17:35.880 --> 00:17:39.440
North Korea was involved back back in October. I was

275
00:17:39.559 --> 00:17:42.480
I was ahead of the major news media outlets in

276
00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:45.839
America actually confirming this, but I already reported on this,

277
00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:49.519
and I already said that they had deployed over ten

278
00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:52.799
thousand troops, and now everyone else is finally admitting, oh yeah, yeah, yeah,

279
00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:56.480
North Korea sent ten thousand troops. But more recently they

280
00:17:56.480 --> 00:17:59.480
are now finding that North Koreans are taking casualties over

281
00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:01.160
there in the war against Ukraine. They are on the

282
00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:04.480
front lines and fighting in support of Russia in their

283
00:18:04.480 --> 00:18:08.359
efforts against Ukraine. So we have allies involved on the

284
00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:12.519
Russian side. Russia's using weapons from various different allies themselves,

285
00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:16.599
Yet it's not okay for any other nation to support

286
00:18:16.720 --> 00:18:21.599
Ukraine against Russia's blatant attempt to take the land and

287
00:18:21.839 --> 00:18:29.079
subjugate its people under Putin's rule. Very hypocritical, but what

288
00:18:29.119 --> 00:18:32.359
else would you expect from Vladimir Putin, who's hell bent

289
00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:35.839
on returning Russia to its former glory. Basically, he wants

290
00:18:35.880 --> 00:18:41.759
to reinvent or put back into place the old Soviet Union,

291
00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:45.720
which includes him claiming territories that broke away from the

292
00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:48.880
Soviet Union during its fall. Putin wants to leave a

293
00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:53.240
legacy behind and he wants to be known for reuniting

294
00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:58.519
the Soviet Union. Now, getting back to Russia's allies that

295
00:18:58.559 --> 00:19:03.359
are involved in support their efforts. Let's talk about North Korea.

296
00:19:04.119 --> 00:19:08.319
Recent reports say that they've lost around five hundred soldiers

297
00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:11.839
already on the front lines, and as far as North

298
00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:14.960
Korea's involvement goes, you have to question how long they're

299
00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:19.799
going to stay in the fight in supporting Russia because

300
00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:24.440
North Korea hasn't been battle tested in quite some time.

301
00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:30.039
They have not been involved in any major conflicts for years,

302
00:19:31.279 --> 00:19:35.759
and their military would really kind of be considered young

303
00:19:35.880 --> 00:19:37.960
due to the fact that there really hasn't been any

304
00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:43.519
action for them. It's been said that maybe North Korea

305
00:19:43.599 --> 00:19:46.480
sent troops out there to get a bit of experience

306
00:19:46.599 --> 00:19:50.039
for whatever they're planning next, but the reality is this,

307
00:19:50.759 --> 00:19:54.920
they were a little forced into this because Russia. So

308
00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:57.880
let's just be honest. North Korea needs two major allies

309
00:19:57.920 --> 00:20:02.559
to survive. They need Russia and they need North Korea

310
00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:08.440
doesn't support themselves in one of the most basic human

311
00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:12.880
needs there is, and that is food. Russia supports North

312
00:20:12.960 --> 00:20:18.160
Korea with so much food, We're talking grains, you name it.

313
00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:21.079
If it wasn't for Russia, North Korea would more than

314
00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:24.880
likely be starved out by now. And I know China

315
00:20:24.920 --> 00:20:29.359
also supports North Korea in this but without Russia's contribution,

316
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:33.559
North Korea would be in dire straits when it comes

317
00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:37.039
to food, and their citizens are already starving because most

318
00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:41.559
of those those supplies from Russia and from China end

319
00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:44.960
up just going to Kim Jong un, his family and

320
00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:52.039
his military and his supporters politically, not to his citizens.

321
00:20:52.599 --> 00:20:58.400
Their citizens are weak and malnutritioned and starved and not

322
00:20:58.519 --> 00:21:03.480
in a position to even oppose this dictator, Kim Jong un.

323
00:21:04.039 --> 00:21:07.759
But with all of that information, North Korea was in

324
00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:11.720
a buye as Russia was like, look, you want further support,

325
00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:15.160
We're gonna need a little support here. You scratch my back,

326
00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:18.240
I scratch your back, And I believe North Korea felt

327
00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:21.839
that they were obligated to go and support Russia. And

328
00:21:21.880 --> 00:21:24.960
again there's two things here, because before North Korea even

329
00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:27.160
went to the front lines, they were in Russia training

330
00:21:27.240 --> 00:21:31.119
with Russian soldiers in Russian military commanders, so they were

331
00:21:31.160 --> 00:21:36.200
gaining some invaluable training and insight. And now they're being

332
00:21:36.599 --> 00:21:41.319
battle tested by being sent to the front lines. So

333
00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:44.039
North Korea is in a buying they have to support Russia.

334
00:21:44.039 --> 00:21:47.559
But at the same time, knowing Kim Jong un or

335
00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:50.920
what we know of him from reports. Do you think

336
00:21:50.920 --> 00:21:53.079
he's gonna stay in this? I don't know. I think

337
00:21:53.079 --> 00:21:55.119
there's gonna there's gonna come a time where he's just

338
00:21:55.119 --> 00:21:57.880
gonna pull out. And as far as I ran, his concern,

339
00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:02.039
they've been from the get go by sending weapons and

340
00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:06.079
drones and whatnot to Russia and support their efforts. But

341
00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:12.359
Iran can't support themselves on two fronts. They just can't militarily.

342
00:22:12.400 --> 00:22:16.279
They're not in a position to support that. While they

343
00:22:16.319 --> 00:22:19.000
may want to support Russia and Russia I'm sure it's

344
00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:22.359
probably poking them to give them even more support. I

345
00:22:22.440 --> 00:22:26.480
haven't to this date seen any reports of Iranian soldiers

346
00:22:26.519 --> 00:22:28.920
actually on the front lines. Now there's been some rumors,

347
00:22:29.279 --> 00:22:32.720
some leaks saying well, they've sent soldiers and they were

348
00:22:32.799 --> 00:22:37.200
disguised to look like Russian soldiers or whatnot, but there's

349
00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:40.640
no real definite confirmations as far as I know. As

350
00:22:40.640 --> 00:22:42.720
far as I know, so if I'm wrong, I'm wrong.

351
00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:44.799
But as far as I know, and whatever research I haven't,

352
00:22:44.839 --> 00:22:47.640
I haven't quite seen it yet. But they are supporting

353
00:22:47.640 --> 00:22:51.200
them in other ways. Iran has another problem though, you know,

354
00:22:51.240 --> 00:22:52.759
with everything that's going on, in the Middle East with

355
00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:59.039
Israel and Israel attacking Iran strategically attacking their strategic military

356
00:22:59.079 --> 00:23:03.480
bases and taking out a lot of their infrastructure. Iran's

357
00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:05.839
not really going to be able to jump in and

358
00:23:05.880 --> 00:23:09.599
give Russia their full support. So it's going to come

359
00:23:09.640 --> 00:23:11.440
to a point where Russia is really going to be

360
00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:15.759
standing on its own, regardless of North Korea or Iran.

361
00:23:16.640 --> 00:23:18.880
Russia will be standing on its own here very soon.

362
00:23:19.440 --> 00:23:23.079
And maybe that's where we will see Putin take the

363
00:23:23.079 --> 00:23:27.920
next step and start loading these Orshnik missiles with these

364
00:23:28.559 --> 00:23:32.640
thermal warheads. And if that happens, then Ukraine's in a

365
00:23:32.640 --> 00:23:38.160
real situation. As of now, somehow Ukraine is fending off Russia,

366
00:23:39.680 --> 00:23:41.880
and they do have a lot of support from the

367
00:23:42.000 --> 00:23:46.000
US and surrounding nations by sending them money and weapons,

368
00:23:46.480 --> 00:23:48.519
and maybe that's the only reason they're still in the fight.

369
00:23:49.319 --> 00:23:53.400
Russia is the bigger country, the bigger military, the more

370
00:23:53.400 --> 00:23:58.160
advanced military, they have, more weaponry, you name it. There's

371
00:23:58.480 --> 00:24:01.680
actually no reason Ukraine should be existing right now other

372
00:24:01.759 --> 00:24:04.480
than the fact that they have backing from the US,

373
00:24:04.599 --> 00:24:09.599
the UK, France, Germany, NATO nations in general, and NATO

374
00:24:09.680 --> 00:24:14.160
has even threatened Russia and stating that look, if you

375
00:24:14.200 --> 00:24:17.920
bleed this war over, if this bleeds over into crossing

376
00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:22.319
NATO nation borders, we're going to get involved. And Russia

377
00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:25.200
doesn't want that either. Now, Russia is threatening and threatening

378
00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:27.960
and threatening, and they're starting to sound like Kim Jong un,

379
00:24:28.480 --> 00:24:30.680
who's notorious. We're always saying I'm going to launch this

380
00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:34.359
missile and just keeps pressing the button and launching missiles

381
00:24:34.359 --> 00:24:36.079
that just fall into the sea and don't go anywhere.

382
00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:42.759
But regardless, Russia's been taking the same strategy and threatening

383
00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:47.440
nuclear war, nuclear war, nuclear warheads, and then bragging about

384
00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:51.680
the Irishnik missile, which is a hypersonic weapon. Again, very dangerous,

385
00:24:51.960 --> 00:24:54.440
very hard to intercept, if it can be at all.

386
00:24:54.559 --> 00:24:56.400
I mean, by the time we realize what's going on,

387
00:24:56.720 --> 00:25:00.519
the attack's done, damage has been dealt, and there's no

388
00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:05.119
real way to defend against it. So this conflict, this

389
00:25:05.200 --> 00:25:10.079
conflict is getting ever so more dangerous. And to be honest,

390
00:25:10.920 --> 00:25:14.960
Biden's staff or Biden himself opening opening their mouths, or

391
00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:17.480
even him opening his mouth saying hey, you know what,

392
00:25:17.519 --> 00:25:19.599
We're gonna give them nuclear weapons and response, come on,

393
00:25:20.079 --> 00:25:22.519
what the fuck are you thinking? Are you really trying

394
00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:25.440
to escalate this into World War three? Now Putin has

395
00:25:25.440 --> 00:25:28.519
been reported and saying, hey, look I'm willing to back off,

396
00:25:28.759 --> 00:25:31.599
I'm willing to kill kill our actions a little bit.

397
00:25:32.160 --> 00:25:35.440
Let's let's let's hold off until we can negotiate. I

398
00:25:35.519 --> 00:25:38.400
even believe Zelensky is smart enough at this point to say, yeah,

399
00:25:38.400 --> 00:25:41.920
we need we need to negotiate a piece because everyone realized,

400
00:25:42.079 --> 00:25:44.599
they don't realize that this is this is just going nowhere.

401
00:25:45.240 --> 00:25:48.599
This is just escalating out of control, and it may

402
00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:53.680
even turn into a World War three, which nobody wants.

403
00:25:54.119 --> 00:25:57.400
But what does that piece deal look like? Do you

404
00:25:57.400 --> 00:26:00.480
think Russia's actually gonna give Ukraine back its terry tories,

405
00:26:00.839 --> 00:26:03.680
It's land that was that was taken in this conflict.

406
00:26:04.160 --> 00:26:05.960
Do you think Ukraine's going to be okay with that?

407
00:26:06.599 --> 00:26:08.559
What does this piece steal ge to look like? How

408
00:26:08.640 --> 00:26:10.920
will they be able to negotiate this? Because the only

409
00:26:10.960 --> 00:26:14.119
way to negotiate this that is fair to everybody is

410
00:26:14.200 --> 00:26:18.200
Ukraine gets its lands back. Maybe Russia goes ahead and

411
00:26:18.720 --> 00:26:23.160
contributes to giving Ukraine money and helping them rebuild what

412
00:26:23.279 --> 00:26:28.599
Russia destroyed, and Russia just goes back and handles their

413
00:26:28.640 --> 00:26:32.240
own country. Maybe sanctions are lifted on Russia and they're

414
00:26:32.279 --> 00:26:34.440
able to get back to business as they're on the

415
00:26:34.440 --> 00:26:39.200
brink of collapsing right now economically. So this war is

416
00:26:39.240 --> 00:26:43.000
hurting Russia economically. All the sanctions against Russia haven't been helping,

417
00:26:43.480 --> 00:26:45.720
even though Russia has done its best to circumvent the

418
00:26:45.799 --> 00:26:49.960
situation and create other pathways for economic success. But it's

419
00:26:50.039 --> 00:26:52.440
just not enough, and they're at the point where they

420
00:26:52.440 --> 00:26:56.279
can no longer support themselves financially. It's it's that dire

421
00:26:57.160 --> 00:26:59.799
and Ukraine can't not They just they just can't keep

422
00:26:59.799 --> 00:27:04.880
lose using people like literally physically having their citizens die,

423
00:27:05.160 --> 00:27:09.559
aside from losing their territories. Dead Ukrainians, it's not a

424
00:27:09.559 --> 00:27:14.000
good thing. Dead Russians isn't a good thing. This all

425
00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:17.200
could have been avoided years ago. If I'm going to

426
00:27:17.279 --> 00:27:19.759
just outright say, if Biden had the balls to step in,

427
00:27:20.960 --> 00:27:24.119
draw a line on the sand and bring these two

428
00:27:24.160 --> 00:27:26.240
to the table and have them talk it out and

429
00:27:26.279 --> 00:27:30.680
come to an agreement, if we wouldn't have supported NATO

430
00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:35.640
encroaching on Russia's borders. And there's arguments on both sides

431
00:27:35.640 --> 00:27:38.680
of this, I mean, it could we argue that nations

432
00:27:38.680 --> 00:27:41.519
surrounding Russia want to become a part of NATO for

433
00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:45.519
protection against Russia itself. And the other side of the

434
00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:50.759
argument is Russia felt threatened by NATO encroaching on Russia's

435
00:27:50.759 --> 00:27:54.319
borders and really surrounding them and boxing them in. Who's

436
00:27:54.400 --> 00:27:57.440
right who's wrong in this argument depends on, well, obviously

437
00:27:57.519 --> 00:28:00.599
which side you fall on. If you're Russian and you're

438
00:28:00.680 --> 00:28:04.920
Vladimir Putin, well, of course you oppose the encroachment of

439
00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:08.000
NATO nations on your borders. And if you're in NATO

440
00:28:09.240 --> 00:28:11.559
and you're talking to these countries that are on the

441
00:28:11.559 --> 00:28:16.680
border of Russia, you're obviously saying, yeah, Russia's dangerous that

442
00:28:17.319 --> 00:28:22.960
due to Vladimir Putin's delusional mission of re establishing the

443
00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:26.400
Soviet Union, that he could invade any land that he

444
00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:30.920
deemed to be originally part of Martha Russia from years past.

445
00:28:31.640 --> 00:28:36.200
And so you would absolutely again feel threatened. And I

446
00:28:36.240 --> 00:28:38.559
get it. You're like, hey, where we're going to turn,

447
00:28:39.039 --> 00:28:41.039
where we're going to turn? Hey, NATO, can you help

448
00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:43.400
us out? Do you mind making us a member so

449
00:28:43.440 --> 00:28:46.279
that we have we have a little more defense here

450
00:28:46.480 --> 00:28:50.000
against Russia. So you know, those are two sides. Those

451
00:28:50.000 --> 00:28:54.319
are two arguments. Both are valid, again depending on which

452
00:28:54.400 --> 00:28:57.119
side of argument that you're a part of or that

453
00:28:57.599 --> 00:29:04.960
you lie on. And Russia is dangerously close to I mean,

454
00:29:05.519 --> 00:29:08.880
achieving their goals. I believe. Listen, listen if they overtake Ukraine,

455
00:29:09.480 --> 00:29:14.519
If they overtake Ukraine, what's going to stop them from continuing?

456
00:29:15.079 --> 00:29:19.039
I have a report from Sky News in which Six's

457
00:29:19.279 --> 00:29:23.480
chief reports of the dangerous situation we're in right now

458
00:29:23.480 --> 00:29:27.359
with Russia. For those who don't know, Six is UK's CIA.

459
00:29:28.079 --> 00:29:30.039
It goes on to read that the security in the

460
00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:33.440
United States will be at risk if Vladimir Putin succeeds

461
00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:36.839
in Ukraine. The head of Britain's secret intelligence services has

462
00:29:36.880 --> 00:29:40.000
said in a warning for Donald Trump, Sir Richard Moore

463
00:29:40.079 --> 00:29:43.480
said Russia would not stop at Ukraine's borders, and he

464
00:29:43.559 --> 00:29:47.759
said China would weigh the implications. North Korea would be

465
00:29:47.799 --> 00:29:51.599
in bolden and Iran will become still more dangerous. Now again,

466
00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:55.720
this is their assessment. They're the secret intelligence agency in

467
00:29:55.759 --> 00:29:58.240
the UK, and I'm sure they know more than us.

468
00:29:59.000 --> 00:30:04.079
But I still don't know if Iran can support two wars.

469
00:30:04.279 --> 00:30:07.759
I really don't. But regardless, as the spy chief goes

470
00:30:07.799 --> 00:30:11.079
on to say to the incoming US administration, though using

471
00:30:11.119 --> 00:30:14.200
an annual public speech to say he had worked successfully

472
00:30:14.240 --> 00:30:16.039
with the first Trump White House in that he is

473
00:30:16.079 --> 00:30:18.880
looking forward to doing so again. As well as talking

474
00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:22.039
about Ukraine, the head of MI six, or Secret Intelligence Service,

475
00:30:22.519 --> 00:30:26.519
also raised the alarm about a staggeringly reckless campaign of

476
00:30:26.599 --> 00:30:30.720
Russia's sabotage in Europe, the potential for terrorism in the

477
00:30:30.799 --> 00:30:33.599
UK and across the continent, inspired by the loss of

478
00:30:33.799 --> 00:30:38.079
innocent life in Gaza in Lebanon, Iran's nuclear weapons ambitions,

479
00:30:38.119 --> 00:30:41.640
and its desire to eliminate dissidence home and abroad, Sir

480
00:30:41.720 --> 00:30:44.359
Richard said, in thirty seven years in the intelligence profession,

481
00:30:44.400 --> 00:30:47.119
I've never seen the world in a more dangerous state.

482
00:30:48.079 --> 00:30:51.240
Appearing at the British Embassy in Paris with Nicholas Lerner,

483
00:30:51.720 --> 00:30:57.000
the head of France's foreign intelligence agency, the DGSE, the

484
00:30:57.000 --> 00:31:01.720
British spy chief touched on Russia's war in Ukraine. Nicholas

485
00:31:01.759 --> 00:31:05.440
and I are in no doubt about the stakes in Ukraine.

486
00:31:05.480 --> 00:31:08.200
If Putin is allowed to succeed in reducing Ukraine to

487
00:31:08.279 --> 00:31:11.200
a vassal state, he will not stop there, he said.

488
00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:16.240
Our security, British, French, European and Transatlantic will be jeopardized.

489
00:31:16.599 --> 00:31:19.720
The cost of supporting Ukraine is well known, but the

490
00:31:19.759 --> 00:31:24.000
cost of not doing so would be infinitely higher. If

491
00:31:24.039 --> 00:31:28.839
Putin succeeds, China would weigh in the implications North Korea

492
00:31:28.880 --> 00:31:32.279
would be in boldened Iran would become still more dangerous.

493
00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:35.880
Mister Trump, who will return to White House in January,

494
00:31:36.039 --> 00:31:38.839
has promised to end the war quickly, though he is

495
00:31:38.920 --> 00:31:42.200
not explaining how. This week, though, the US President elect

496
00:31:42.240 --> 00:31:46.920
revealed he planned to appoint Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg, a

497
00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:50.480
retired senior commander who served in the last Trump administration,

498
00:31:50.960 --> 00:31:54.799
as is Ukraine Envoy to Ukraine and Russia. General Kellogg

499
00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:57.720
co wrote a paper in April that said the US

500
00:31:57.799 --> 00:32:01.319
should negotiate a ceasefire in Ukrain Kraine. One part of

501
00:32:01.319 --> 00:32:04.640
the plan was to make the continuation of US weapons

502
00:32:04.680 --> 00:32:09.920
to support Kiev contingent upon the Ukrainian government participation in

503
00:32:10.039 --> 00:32:16.920
peace talks. So Europe agrees that we need to support Ukraine.

504
00:32:16.960 --> 00:32:21.680
Everybody needs to support Ukraine to hold Vladimir Putin at bay,

505
00:32:21.799 --> 00:32:24.359
because it seems like he's on a path to take

506
00:32:24.400 --> 00:32:26.519
it all. He wants to rule the world. It seems

507
00:32:26.559 --> 00:32:29.920
like Germany has also spoken up, so aside from the

508
00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:32.799
UK and France, Germany has raised their concerns. Poland has

509
00:32:32.839 --> 00:32:37.160
definitely raised their concerns more than once. And we're at

510
00:32:37.160 --> 00:32:39.960
the point now that it's either peace or a world

511
00:32:40.000 --> 00:32:43.400
war period, and it seems that Putin is willing to

512
00:32:43.480 --> 00:32:47.559
discuss a peace treaty or at least enter into talks

513
00:32:48.359 --> 00:32:54.240
with President Trump as the mediator Ukraine, though Zelenski hasn't

514
00:32:54.359 --> 00:32:58.079
been so. It doesn't seem like he's been so motivated

515
00:32:58.119 --> 00:33:01.079
to do so. And I get it. Look, you've been attacked,

516
00:33:01.599 --> 00:33:06.440
you've been invaded, your land taken, your people killed. I

517
00:33:06.559 --> 00:33:09.440
understand that you're not willing to negotiate or even in

518
00:33:09.480 --> 00:33:12.680
a position to think about it. But right now we

519
00:33:12.759 --> 00:33:15.480
need to do something. We need to do something that

520
00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:20.640
prevents Russia from spreading and getting larger and taking in

521
00:33:20.759 --> 00:33:24.960
more territories. We're trying to avoid a World War III.

522
00:33:26.000 --> 00:33:29.240
And all of this hinges on whether or not Putin

523
00:33:29.319 --> 00:33:33.039
can be reasonable and whether or not we can all

524
00:33:33.079 --> 00:33:36.200
come to the table and negotiate a peace treaty. And

525
00:33:36.240 --> 00:33:40.559
that's going to involve both Vladimir Putin and President Zelenski

526
00:33:41.200 --> 00:33:44.680
coming to the table and having some real talks and

527
00:33:44.759 --> 00:33:49.119
coming up with some real solutions here and again, look,

528
00:33:49.160 --> 00:33:53.799
this is scary. First off, as I mentioned, let's get

529
00:33:53.799 --> 00:33:56.519
the nuclear let's get the whole nuclear threats and talks

530
00:33:56.559 --> 00:34:01.319
off the table here because as a report earlier, Russia

531
00:34:01.400 --> 00:34:04.960
using this Roshnik weapon, this hypersonic missile, kind of negates

532
00:34:05.000 --> 00:34:07.680
the use of even Russia needing to use nuclear weapons.

533
00:34:07.960 --> 00:34:10.679
They have a highly strategic weapon that is hard to

534
00:34:10.719 --> 00:34:15.239
stop that even without an actual explosive warhead, the kinetic

535
00:34:15.360 --> 00:34:22.199
energy of this weapon is enough to cause crazy strategic damage.

536
00:34:22.760 --> 00:34:26.119
Put a thermal warhead on it and it's game over.

537
00:34:27.639 --> 00:34:31.480
That alone should scare everybody. Doesn't mean we should sit

538
00:34:31.519 --> 00:34:33.920
on our hands and just watch everything happen either, though,

539
00:34:35.800 --> 00:34:38.880
Putin is willing to talk. He stated he's willing to talk.

540
00:34:40.119 --> 00:34:44.000
If Putin really wanted to take out Ukraine at this point,

541
00:34:44.039 --> 00:34:46.000
like really really wanted to wipe it off the face

542
00:34:46.000 --> 00:34:49.000
of the earth, he would have the reason he has

543
00:34:49.039 --> 00:34:51.039
it because he knows he has people that are Russian

544
00:34:51.079 --> 00:34:54.400
sympathizers in the Ukraine. There's parts of the Ukraine that

545
00:34:54.480 --> 00:34:58.280
completely side with Russia. Look, they have families that are

546
00:34:58.480 --> 00:35:02.119
tied to Russia, but the Ukraine as a whole wants

547
00:35:02.159 --> 00:35:06.880
to remain independent of the Russian state. So I don't

548
00:35:06.880 --> 00:35:09.320
believe Putin's willing to just wipe Ukraine off the face

549
00:35:09.360 --> 00:35:10.920
of the earth. And what good would it be to

550
00:35:11.000 --> 00:35:14.800
take over a land that is devastated. That's not something

551
00:35:14.840 --> 00:35:21.519
that President Vladimir Putin wants. So we're at an impasse

552
00:35:21.760 --> 00:35:25.239
standstill at the moment. Yeah, they're still fighting, Yes they're

553
00:35:25.239 --> 00:35:28.880
still shooting weapons and rockets at each other, but neither

554
00:35:28.960 --> 00:35:33.280
nation is proactively pursuing the total annihilation of each other,

555
00:35:33.480 --> 00:35:37.079
which means a peaceful resolution is still on the table.

556
00:35:37.639 --> 00:35:39.840
So I think that's going to do it for this episode.

557
00:35:40.119 --> 00:35:43.840
Sorry to go ahead and release a downer, but it's

558
00:35:43.880 --> 00:35:46.159
important we talk about this because I believe you need

559
00:35:46.199 --> 00:35:48.360
to be informed. I believe that you need to get

560
00:35:48.400 --> 00:35:51.440
all the information out there, and that way you can

561
00:35:51.480 --> 00:35:53.760
form a real opinion and have some real perspective on

562
00:35:53.800 --> 00:35:57.719
what's going on. And listen, you have to be prepared

563
00:35:57.760 --> 00:36:01.719
for what might come next. You have to understand what's

564
00:36:01.760 --> 00:36:05.199
going on in the world around you. While Congress was

565
00:36:05.559 --> 00:36:09.440
recently just arguing about who can use the bathroom. We've

566
00:36:09.440 --> 00:36:12.639
had further developments going on in the war in Russia

567
00:36:12.639 --> 00:36:16.000
and Ukraine that just can't be ignored. And while it

568
00:36:16.079 --> 00:36:18.920
may seem okay for politician to argue over things again

569
00:36:19.000 --> 00:36:23.719
as transgender restrooms, I say it's time to get to work,

570
00:36:24.039 --> 00:36:27.719
stop arguing, and realize that we have real situations going

571
00:36:27.760 --> 00:36:30.960
on that are going to be detrimental to the security

572
00:36:31.000 --> 00:36:36.119
of the US and our allies. So let's focus, let's

573
00:36:36.119 --> 00:36:40.199
come up with real solutions to these problems, and let's

574
00:36:40.280 --> 00:36:43.119
keep educating ourselves on what's going on around the world,

575
00:36:43.159 --> 00:36:48.400
because again, it affects us so immensely. Well, thank you

576
00:36:48.440 --> 00:36:51.679
for hanging in and listening to that. A lot of information,

577
00:36:51.920 --> 00:36:55.119
I'm sure, And if you want even more insight, please

578
00:36:55.159 --> 00:36:57.360
listen to episode forty eight where I had Curven Oakwann

579
00:36:57.400 --> 00:37:00.440
explaining what was going on, and I think that, uh,

580
00:37:00.599 --> 00:37:03.679
you'll get a lot of information there as well. All Right,

581
00:37:03.719 --> 00:37:08.599
thanks for listening, have a good day, days your content,

582
00:37:10.239 --> 00:37:16.719
feel a tension, Devils high redemption. Hug stands on my

583
00:37:21.159 --> 00:37:21.199
do
