00:00:01.480 --> 00:00:11.519
Tay my benefity like you just let me in my way.
2
00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:17.879
Hello world, the Blaze listeners, and welcome to episode sixty seven,
3
00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:22.679
sixty seven. Well, now, well, now what do we make
4
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:25.879
of what's going on with Ukraine? What is going on
5
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:30.359
with the situation? This has become the Real Housewives of Ukraine.
6
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:34.439
You can't write this drama to be any more engaging.
7
00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:36.640
And let me make this clear, I'm not making light
8
00:00:36.679 --> 00:00:39.399
of the situation. I want to also make it clear
9
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:42.600
that we all must acknowledge that Russia is the aggressor
10
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:48.560
at Russia invaded Ukraine. Russia invaded Ukraine in twenty fourteen,
11
00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:53.280
annexed Crimea. The rest of the world kind of turned
12
00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:58.640
their shoulder a bit, They're like, yeah, that happened. But
13
00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:03.799
here we are twenty two the invasion begins once again,
14
00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:10.319
and this time, this time it's ugly. It's beyond ugly.
15
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:16.400
It's definitely worse. It's not any any worse for where
16
00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:18.760
in terms of loss and lives. Like people died in
17
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:22.400
twenty fourteen, but this war has been going on a while.
18
00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:26.560
Here we are three years since this war. Thousands of
19
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:29.920
people died on both sides, but we are seeing a
20
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:33.519
smaller weaker country, not weaker in spirit, not weaker in
21
00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:41.799
fighting ability, but weaker in size, weaker economically, weaker in supplies,
22
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:45.319
but not in spirit, not in fighting spirit. No, you
23
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:48.959
can't take that away from Ukraine. But Russia is the
24
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:55.480
aggressor they are. Now let's get to the real housewives
25
00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:59.200
of Ukraine part here. Zelenski has been on a fundraising tour.
26
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:03.560
He's going from nation to nation in Europe. He's going
27
00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:08.520
to France, He's going to uk He's shaking hands, kissing babies, saying, hey,
28
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:12.520
you know, a little more money, maybe please, little more money?
29
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:14.599
How about you? You you got any money for me?
30
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:16.680
Look what I can do. I could jump around, I
31
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:22.080
do acrobats, I spend I make jokes right look at me? Hey, look.
32
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:27.719
This guy has been funded extremely well, extremely well by
33
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:33.759
both the European nations and by the United States of America.
34
00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:39.759
He has been backed by both Europe and the United States.
35
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:46.360
He has been given military equipment, supplies and technologies to
36
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:49.800
fend off Russia. This has been going on for three
37
00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:54.680
years straight, three years, three years, hundreds and hundreds and
38
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:57.919
hundreds of billions of dollars between Europe and the United States.
39
00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:00.759
I don't even know the total value of military support
40
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:09.280
by way of equipment, munitions, rockets, anti anti aircraft technologies,
41
00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:13.000
anti missile technologies. I mean, look, there's a lot of
42
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:16.199
money that's been invested into this small nation to fend
43
00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:20.360
off Russia, and rightly so we should support Ukraine. I
44
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:23.840
don't think anybody, anybody has said that Ukraine didn't earn
45
00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:28.319
the support of anybody who wants to see the small
46
00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:32.199
guy crushed for no reason other than just existing. We
47
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:36.039
all agreed on that, but after a while it gets
48
00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:39.960
to be tiresome. Not that we want to see them fail,
49
00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:45.240
believe me, so America. They're fed up, but like, yeah,
50
00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:48.639
we do agree, We do agree that we want Ukraine
51
00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:52.319
to win this thing, but we can't keep bleeding ourselves
52
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:56.719
for your success. Hundreds of billions of dollars in US
53
00:03:56.719 --> 00:04:01.800
has given Ukraine military support also, hundreds and hundreds of
54
00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:07.159
millions of dollars, and it's not enough. It's never enough.
55
00:04:07.639 --> 00:04:09.840
So Lensky keeps coming back to the well to get
56
00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:14.680
more and more and more. And at some point we
57
00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:16.399
got to put our foot down and say, hey, look
58
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:20.120
what are you doing with all this money. We're giving
59
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:22.839
you everything you need to succeed, and you're not succeeding.
60
00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:27.959
What more could be done? Now? That answer lies in
61
00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:31.560
what Zelensky has alluded to many times in both press
62
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:37.480
coverages and in the not so good meeting between him
63
00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:41.879
and President Trump recently. That ain't go so well. Everybody
64
00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:43.639
saw it. It didn't really go so well towards the end.
65
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:47.759
The beginning was fine, towards the end fell apart. But regardless,
66
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:50.839
it's never enough. Selensky is just always claiming I need
67
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:53.319
I need security guarantees, not just from the US, by
68
00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:54.720
the way, to everybody he goes to, every nation, I
69
00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:56.519
need security guarantees. What are you gonna do for me?
70
00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:59.279
What are you gonna do for me? Look, this is
71
00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:02.480
what's gonna happen. You give me money, plus you protect me.
72
00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:06.920
And what is Ukraine doing in return other than nations
73
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:12.319
going out of their way for what defending democracy? And look,
74
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:17.199
democracy must be defended, it must be defended. The free
75
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:22.439
world must prevail. But at what point, at what point
76
00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:26.439
do you have to start calling Ukraine out just a
77
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:31.000
little bit because they have been given a lot of
78
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:34.759
resources and a lot of money. So yeah, nations have
79
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:37.160
a right to ask, Yes, the United States has a
80
00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:41.879
right to ask very well. So so as a nation
81
00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:44.879
that wants them to succeed in this fight, we still
82
00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:47.199
got to ask, where's all the money going? Why do
83
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:53.399
you keep coming out over to our house with your handout. Now,
84
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:56.639
everybody saw the video, I'm sure saw the video of
85
00:05:56.959 --> 00:06:00.639
Trump and Zolensky and jd Vance, and we all saw
86
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:02.279
how that went towards the end. And that's the thing.
87
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:05.920
Everybody saw the end of that video, and right away
88
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:09.079
Trump was the enemy, Jade Vance was the enemy. In fact,
89
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:14.000
the United States was the trader to democracy across the world. Everybody,
90
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:17.680
everybody said, that is that is not how an ally acts,
91
00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:21.879
and we got we gotta take control. Well, well look, Europe,
92
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:24.120
let me just be very clear. The United States has
93
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:26.360
been telling you to take control for quite some time,
94
00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:28.600
and in fact, this is in your backyard. You should
95
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:32.079
take the lead. You should take the lead. But what's
96
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:36.199
interesting is after everybody is saying we don't need the US,
97
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:41.079
screw President Trump. That meeting was horrific. That's not how
98
00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:44.319
you treat an ally. That the US is nothing but
99
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:46.399
a bunch of bullies just trying to bully a war
100
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:48.759
torn country out of the only thing they have, which
101
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:51.800
is their precious minerals to make this mineral right steal.
102
00:06:52.279 --> 00:06:54.639
And I'm gonna I'm gonna get to that later because
103
00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:58.079
the UK pulled a fast one that kind of went
104
00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:01.759
under the radar with the press in January I believe
105
00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:03.519
was on January twenty sixth of twenty twenty five. So
106
00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:06.839
I'm gonna get to that, but first let me read
107
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:09.360
this post, because what's the interesting is Zelensky was all
108
00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:12.000
huffy and puffy after the meaning with Trump. He was
109
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:14.920
he was basically being very snarky about the United States
110
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:19.160
who shaking hands with Prime Minister of UK, He's meeting
111
00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:23.480
the King of England, he's shaking hands with Trudeau, he's
112
00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:26.639
shaking hands with France, and he's getting them all to
113
00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:31.160
give him more money, more support. UK said, you know what,
114
00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:33.279
we're gonna. We're gonna we're gonna give you more aircraft.
115
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:36.160
We're going to make sure that we also give you
116
00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:38.560
a loan. They gave him alone a two point six
117
00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:43.360
a nearly two point six billion euro loan that is
118
00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:46.920
somehow supposedly allegedly going to be paid back by frozen
119
00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:50.600
Russian assets. So is Zelensky paying this back or not,
120
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:53.759
and it's kind of unclear just it's going to be
121
00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:59.399
paid back with frozen Russian assets regardless. So here we go.
122
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:04.639
The prom Queen's Olinsky, the star of the Real Housewives
123
00:08:04.759 --> 00:08:09.199
of Ukraine, is making the tour. He's playing the drama
124
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:12.759
card and he's getting his money, he's getting his military support,
125
00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:16.839
but all while saying everywhere he goes, you know, I
126
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:19.240
appreciate the help, but we still need the US involved.
127
00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:22.920
The US is the as he calls it, the backstop
128
00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:27.319
to the deals, here to all the deals. And funny enough,
129
00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:32.000
even the European nations they had an emergency meeting after
130
00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:34.480
stating they don't need the United States, that were just
131
00:08:34.519 --> 00:08:38.159
an enemy to democracy and we're not a good ally.
132
00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:41.080
But yet then they call for the United States to
133
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:45.759
view the peace proposal that they are putting together. I mean,
134
00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:47.360
if you don't need the US and you got this,
135
00:08:47.399 --> 00:08:51.799
why are you reaching back out to us? Like why, look,
136
00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:58.200
you got this, this is your backyard handle it. Why
137
00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:01.720
is Elensky completely happy with all the aid that has
138
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:05.080
just been given to him in Europe but keeps insisting
139
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:09.600
that he needs the US, as he says, and I quote,
140
00:09:10.039 --> 00:09:12.799
the backstop to this deal. He still needs US involved.
141
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:18.720
H that's interesting. So after all of that, suddenly Zelensky
142
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:23.440
this morning, this morning, this is March fourth, twenty twenty five.
143
00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:26.360
This when this is recorded and the morning of this day,
144
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:32.320
March fourth, twenty twenty five, Zelensky makes a post I
145
00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:36.320
mean hot off the social media posts here the social presses.
146
00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:41.960
He begs the US. The US he said he didn't need.
147
00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:46.279
He wants peace. The peace deal he said he didn't
148
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:50.200
want because he wants to keep fighting. Interesting, I'm going
149
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:51.879
to read this post. I want to read this post
150
00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:57.639
to you. And this is Zelensky, straight from his verified account. Also,
151
00:09:57.919 --> 00:10:01.559
this was in the presses, which include not just social
152
00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:05.840
media but also legacy media. And here you are. This
153
00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:10.000
is Zelensky. This is what he says. I would like
154
00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:13.960
to reiterate Ukraine's commitment to peace. None of us wants
155
00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:17.000
an endless war. Ukraine is ready to come to the
156
00:10:17.039 --> 00:10:22.320
negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer.
157
00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:25.960
Nobody wants peace more than Ukrainians. My team and I
158
00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:30.000
stand ready to work under President Trump's strong leadership to
159
00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:33.399
get a piece at lasts. We are ready to work
160
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:35.960
fast and the war and the first stages could be
161
00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:40.080
the release of prisoners and truce in the sky, which
162
00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:44.879
means ban on missiles, long range drones, bombs on energy
163
00:10:44.919 --> 00:10:49.320
and other civilian infrastructures, and truce in the sea immediately.
164
00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:52.519
If Russia will do the same, then we want to
165
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:57.720
move very fast through all next stages and to work
166
00:10:57.759 --> 00:11:03.519
with the US to agree wrong final deal. We do
167
00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:06.440
really value how much America has done to help Ukraine
168
00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:10.840
maintain its sovereignty and independence, and we remember the moment
169
00:11:10.960 --> 00:11:14.720
when things changed when President Trump provided Ukraine with javelins.
170
00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:18.440
We are grateful for this. Our meeting in Washington at
171
00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:21.200
the White House on Friday did not go the way
172
00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:24.480
it was supposed to be. It is regrettable that it
173
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:27.080
happened this way. It is time to make things right.
174
00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:30.799
We would like future cooperation and communication to be constructive.
175
00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:34.759
Regardless of the agreement on minerals and security, Ukraine is
176
00:11:34.840 --> 00:11:39.200
ready to sign it anytime and in any convenient format.
177
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:43.159
We see this agreement as a step toward greater security
178
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:47.559
and solid security guarantees, and I truly hope it will
179
00:11:47.559 --> 00:11:52.440
work effectively. Now, that is a very interesting post in
180
00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:56.279
a huge contrast to what Zelensky was pushing for in
181
00:11:56.279 --> 00:11:59.960
that meeting, he was pushing for President Trump to commit
182
00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:03.799
to more than security guarantees. Rather, he wanted him to
183
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:06.960
define the security guarantees because Silensky stated more than once
184
00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:08.600
that you know, these guarantees are not going to be
185
00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:12.240
enough to stop pooting. It's not gonna be enough. So, well,
186
00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:15.440
what is enough? What are you asking Trump to? Do?
187
00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:17.679
You want? You want boots on the ground? Is that
188
00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:19.399
what you're alluding to is that you're asking I mean,
189
00:12:19.879 --> 00:12:24.240
how else can you hint at what you want without
190
00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:28.159
hinting at what you want? And so the problem with
191
00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:33.200
everything is the press did a very bad job of
192
00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:36.360
really telling you the whole story of the meeting. Very
193
00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:39.840
few people even saw the live broadcast. They saw, I
194
00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:43.039
think it was a couple of minute clip that made
195
00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:46.200
it onto social media, which basically showed Trump and Jade
196
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:49.480
vansper Rayton Celensky. But then I asked the question, how
197
00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:52.879
did it get there? So here's the thing. I'm going
198
00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:56.440
to play the first clip that everybody saw. And it
199
00:12:56.480 --> 00:12:59.320
doesn't look good to you know, to the US, it
200
00:12:59.360 --> 00:13:01.080
really doesn't look good. Does it make us look good?
201
00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:03.799
Doesn't look Trump make Trump or Van Sol good? But
202
00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:06.480
I'm going to play it. So I'm going to play
203
00:13:06.519 --> 00:13:08.519
some of this because just a part you really need
204
00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:09.840
to hear. I'm not gonna put the whole five minutes
205
00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:11.360
on this, but here you go check us out.
206
00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:16.600
Yes, Lump, Yes, but after that he broke with his fine.
207
00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:20.399
He killed a lot of people and he didn't exchange prisoners.
208
00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:23.639
We signed the exchange of bit but he didn't do it.
209
00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:28.039
What kind of diplomacy Gusko came about?
210
00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:28.279
What?
211
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:28.960
What?
212
00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:29.039
What?
213
00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:29.919
What do you mean?
214
00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:32.480
I'm talking about the kind of diplomacy that's going to
215
00:13:32.600 --> 00:13:33.840
end the destruction of your country.
216
00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:36.440
Yes, but hesident with respect.
217
00:13:36.600 --> 00:13:38.480
I think it's disrespectable for you to come into the
218
00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:40.240
Oval Office to try to litigate this in front of.
219
00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:43.000
The American media. Right now, you guys are going around
220
00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:46.200
and forcing conscripts to the front lines because you have
221
00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:47.519
manpower problems.
222
00:13:47.639 --> 00:13:50.559
You should be thanking the president and bring into this
223
00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:52.000
into Ukraine.
224
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:54.360
Did you just say what problems may have I have
225
00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:59.080
been to I actually I've actually watched and seen the
226
00:13:59.200 --> 00:14:01.960
stories and I know what happens is you bring people,
227
00:14:02.240 --> 00:14:03.399
you bring them on a property.
228
00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:06.120
Edit to our mister president, are you do you disagree
229
00:14:06.159 --> 00:14:09.200
that you've had problems of bringing people in your military,
230
00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:11.600
and do you think that it's respectful and once to
231
00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:13.679
come to the Oval Office of the United States of
232
00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:16.720
America and attack the administration that is trying to trying
233
00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:18.360
to prevent the destruction.
234
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:21.240
Of your other questions, that's not from the big sure
235
00:14:21.399 --> 00:14:22.080
coastal walls.
236
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:26.039
You in the war. Everybody has problems given you, but
237
00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:29.039
you have a nice social and don't feel now, but
238
00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:30.200
you will feel.
239
00:14:29.960 --> 00:14:31.320
It in the future.
