patreon 1:24 subscribers uh by the way for those of you who don't know i'm in 1:29 kiev ukraine uh i'm i'm staying at the premier palace hotel 1:35 uh right in the middle of uh kiev right in the middle of the russian invasion 1:40 man it's pretty damn funny um 1:46 oh by the way you know just to confirm to show you uh i'm live streaming and so uh i'm in Where am I 1:54 my bedroom but let me uh how do i change this oh there there we go we change 2:00 there oh wait a second let me find oh i have it in my pocket right i was like looking 2:05 for this uh actually let me just show you 2:10 that i'm actually in the um premier palace hotel 2:16 in uh in kiev okay now i'm gonna show you the atrium i'm 2:22 um i'm not going to mention what floor i am but i'm high up and 2:30 see if you can see atrium down below uh i'm zooming in 2:35 it's very distinctive and it's got these um elevators 2:40 that go up to the ceiling that during the daytime it's really lovely 2:46 and so you can see that down there okay now why am i pointing this out so that you guys can um 2:54 check to see that i'm telling the truth because i am i'm so furious at this 2:59 jordan shaktel guy who alleges that i'm lying about being in Why am I doing this 3:06 ukraine and that i'm a troll who's um you know making stuff up 3:11 it just bothers me to no end you know it just really really pisses me off 3:17 and um yeah because i was gonna go on a 3:22 um a spaces to talk about my experiences in kiev in 3:28 ukraine in the middle of the [ __ ] war and uh this [ __ ] as i get in 3:35 he says oh no he's not real he's a troll he's a liar and he kicked me out and he 3:41 slandered me in front of 500 people and that just really really [ __ ] 3:46 pissed me off man i mean i mean look if you get slandered like that in front 3:52 of 500 people of course you're gonna get pissed off and the thing that the thing that bothers me is that i know 3:59 why because a while back a couple of months ago i was on spaces 4:05 with some woman i forget her name lachman or something like that and uh talking about ukraine and she was 4:12 an ngo you know new world order kind of like global homo kind of that kind of 4:17 zogbot kind of thing right and i'm like no very negative on that crap 4:23 and uh you know she basically called me to putin stooge you know when you disagree with the 4:29 narrative you're a stooge of putin and yeah she kicked me out uh of this thing 4:35 and this guy jordan shakhtal was on that spaces and he knew from the things i was 4:41 talking about that i was really in kharkov he knew 4:46 and but later like yesterday a couple of days ago yesterday yeah whatever it was i've lost track of time because time has 4:52 just like flown in together because i'm stuck in this goddamn hotel during this invasion right but anyway the point is 4:58 that this guy jordan schechtel he um Jordan Schachtel 5:03 he knows that i'm in ukraine he knows it for a fact and he just wants to disqualify me 5:12 because he doesn't like what i have to say you know that's how these these people operate you know 5:18 and they have a narrative and i'll bet you anything that if um you guys pressure him enough he'll 5:24 have me on and you know how he's gonna be he's gonna be silky smooth like oh i didn't know i'm so sorry 5:31 yeah and he'll be like a big suck-up because these these people they're arrogant 5:36 you know they're incredibly arrogant when they think that they have the upper hand but the second that they think that 5:42 you know their position might be slipping they become incredibly subservient i mean just total suck-ups 5:49 they're not people of one line and you have to always be careful of people who are not of one line 5:55 see you meet a man and he treats you know a president or a waiter the same way 6:01 that's a man of one line and you want to be around him a man of one line is valuable and you want to be 6:07 a man of one line but people like jordan shachtel no 6:13 they're snaky they're arrogant when they think that they're superior they're arrogant and 6:18 condescending and bullying and bastards and then like all like conciliatory and 6:25 differential and docile when they think that you've got the upper hand 6:30 to all of them i mean to to men like that individuals like that because they're not men 6:35 you just have to whip them you've got to kick them kick them hard kick them in the teeth 6:41 and the thing is see when you do that and you show them strength they get more docile 6:48 yeah that's a fact you know jordan shackdale one day i'm gonna cry i'm across you 6:56 it's gonna be very very unpleasant for you because i don't mind causing a scene i don't mind i don't give a [ __ ] okay Twitter Spaces 7:04 anyway um i'm addicted to the twitter spaces 7:11 because i see all these blue check marks and they're talking about ukraine like 7:16 they actually know what the [ __ ] they're talking about and what they're talking about is just so much [ __ ] 7:22 they just talk so much [ __ ] 7:28 they refuse to acknowledge why putin is doing what he's doing 7:35 they they seem to act like for no reason whatsoever vladimir putin invaded ukraine like he was like oh out of the 7:41 clear blue sky and all the american people and the european people like [ __ ] npcs like [ __ ] robots 7:50 they don't question this this uh this notion that vladimir putin is evil 7:55 is this evil you know he just woke up one day and because he's evil he decided oh you know i'm going to invade ukraine 8:00 yeah because i'm evil what [ __ ] man i mean come on 8:06 i mean think here you wake up in the morning and you're hungry um you're hungry 8:12 because you know you you slept a good eight hours you know and you wake up and your belly's rumbling and so what do you do 8:19 uh you you get up and go to the kitchen and you're like oh [ __ ] i forgot to buy food i don't have anything in the 8:24 refrigerator so [ __ ] it you throw some clothes on you go out go Motivation 8:30 to the shop nearby buy some food walk back home 8:35 and sit down and eat your food right why did you go to the supermarket or the 8:40 store or whatever well because you were hungry you were motivated you had a reason to go to the store 8:47 you had a reason to not take a shower and just like throw on some clothes and just go 8:52 the reason was you were hungry you were motivated right it's a trivial incident right 8:58 that you decided [ __ ] man i'm [ __ ] hungry i'm just gonna just i'm not gonna shower i'm not gonna shave you know i'm 9:05 not gonna put on the deodorant or anything i mean the bo will just have to do i'm just going to throw on a t-shirt and 9:11 jeans and a long overcoat and just rush out there to the shop buy some food come back and eat because i'm [ __ ] 9:17 starving man right you're motivated imagine going to war 9:24 imagine you're not just a leader but you have like a whole class of people 9:32 ministers and generals and under secretaries and assistant ministers and all kinds of a 9:38 whole bureaucratic apparatus and you decide to go to war but not only 9:45 that this entire bureaucratic apparatus of very smart people i mean these are capable people okay they're not fools 9:52 they're smart educated i mean they got iqs up the wazoo i mean you take the 9:58 average of these [ __ ] they're probably 135 to 150 average i mean these IQ Points 10:03 guys are smart okay all of them are when you get to that level in any country the people who are 10:09 going to be leading it they're going to be if anything they're going to have iq points 10:15 so all of these people with very high iq points incredible education incredible 10:21 experience you know very capable individuals they're all on board with 10:26 the evil leader who wants to invade some poor innocent little country um and for no reason whatsoever they 10:33 decide to invade it does that make any sense to you does that make any sense whatsoever to 10:40 you that all of these bureaucrats these ministers 10:46 men with a lot of brain power they all just decide to follow a leader off a 10:51 cliff for no reason whatsoever does that make any sense at all 10:57 or could it be and i'm just spitballing here could it be could it be 11:03 that the um putin and his whole merry gang they decided to invade ukraine 11:11 because they had a really really [ __ ] good reason huh or a series of reasons 11:17 could it be that huh i mean riddle me this batman do you think possibly maybe 11:23 just fingers crossed maybe they had a reason for this invasion 11:29 maybe just maybe i'm just spit balling here but maybe they were provoked 11:37 and that it wasn't just like hey dude man i'm really bored this week you know 11:43 my hot young russian mistress is away you know in milan shopping you know i 11:48 got nothing better to do so let's go [ __ ] invade ukraine yeah let's go dude man it'll be fun man we'll ride 11:55 like a tiger uh truck and just like shoot [ __ ] with the 50 cal it'll ain't gonna get laid this Nuclear War 12:01 week so they might as well invade the country do you think honestly that that was the reason huh 12:06 or could it be it could be spitballing here let's see the idea 12:13 of ukraine joining nato and nato 12:19 putting a bunch of nuclear weapons right on russia's doorstep 12:25 was something that the russians were just not willing to do or more correctly not willing to let 12:31 happen huh do you think that might have been it you think that maybe they were thinking 12:37 themselves these crazy [ __ ] ukrainians are being egged on by nato 12:43 and the european union and their president zelinski is even talking about acquiring nuclear weapons 12:50 for ukraine nuclear weapons for ukraine which would be aimed at russia 12:56 and the flight time from ukraine territory to moscow is about three to five minutes 13:04 do you think that maybe just maybe just spitballing here maybe they decided that 13:09 they didn't want [ __ ] nuclear weapons parked in their [ __ ] front yard 13:14 do you think maybe that was the reason you know back in 1962 well i wasn't alive in 1962 13:23 i was born in 1968 but i heard many many stories and i've read many books as a matter of fact about a series of events 13:29 that happened in 1962. they were called um they happened in the caribbean 13:35 it involved this young president named uh uh 13:40 oh henry no kennedy kennedy that was it uh jack john jack or john something like that 13:47 kennedy and a country called the soviet union and there were like some isle oh right 13:53 it was the cuban missile crisis the cuban missile crisis was because the 13:59 [ __ ] soviet union put a bunch of intermediate-range intercontinental ballistic missiles in 14:05 [ __ ] cuba america's front doorstep and the united states freaked the [ __ ] 14:12 out they freaked out so bad that they were willing to go to nuclear war right then and there over these 14:18 [ __ ] nukes yeah and they they put a blockade around cuba it was a 14:25 whole [ __ ] thing man and the united states i mean let me phrase that the world 14:31 nearly came to a nuclear war over those nukes because the nukes in cuba violated a key 14:39 tenant of the doctrine of mutually assured destruction now mutually assured destruction i'm going to have to set the 14:45 phone down so i can explain it to you it's very simple 14:52 see and i hope my audio is all right let me just let me adjust the camera there 14:58 so i look handsome as possible or at least less ugly than usual Mutually Assured Destruction 15:03 now mutually assured destruction is this you've got nuclear weapons i got nuclear weapons right 15:10 okay so what happens is see mutually assured destruction means if i shoot my nuclear weapons it's going 15:17 to take some time it's going to take you know an hour or so for the missiles to get i mean they have to go all the way around 15:22 the world right you know i shoot my nuclear missiles and my radars are going to pick it up and so i shoot my nuclear 15:28 missiles and what happens is that i shoot them in retaliation our missiles cross 15:34 and we kill each other mutually assured destruction and in game theory 15:40 it basically means that rational actors will never fire first because if somebody fires first if this guy fires 15:47 first he shoots his missiles the other shoots them in return and they kill each other if if it's the other way around if 15:53 this guy shoots first he shoots his missiles this one shoots and they kill each other end of story right 15:59 but see if you have the missiles really close to the other guy 16:04 you can shoot him and destroy his own missiles before he has a chance to respond 16:10 see that's why nuclear powers don't like it when you put nuclear missiles right 16:16 close to them because see it eliminates the whole purpose of mutually assured destruction 16:21 or it eliminates the whole balance of mutually assured destruction 16:27 and that's why when the soviets put nuclear missiles in cuba it freaked out the united states 16:34 because it meant that the soviet union had a first strike capability they could shoot first 16:41 turn the united states to glass and the united states would not have the time to respond 16:46 therefore it incentivized the soviet union to shoot first you see 16:52 and and this is basic in in in the theory of mutually assured destruction of course it's theory 16:58 because so far we've avoided the practice of it you see what i'm saying NATO Missile Crisis 17:04 anyway uh the united um ukraine excuse me pushing 17:09 to join nato basically meant that nato was going to put missiles 17:14 intercontinental ballistic missiles perhaps intermediate-range ballistic missiles they could even be a 17:21 intermediate range missiles that were non-nuclear that just had a regular payload but it would make russia incredibly 17:28 vulnerable and in fact it would incentivize nato to shoot first 17:34 yeah because see when you shoot first in such a situation you win and so at any kind of crisis point the 17:42 enormous temptation for the power that had the nukes closer to 17:48 the enemy to shoot first see and this was known back in 1962 hell it 17:54 was known in 1948 when george cannon came up with the whole theory of mutually sure destruction okay and in 62 18:00 it was proven and all of a sudden the americans freaked out because they realized that if those intermediate-range missiles on 18:08 cuba became operational because they never really were operational they came close but they weren't operational but 18:13 had they become operational it would have incentivized the soviet union to shoot them first 18:19 and that would have been the end of the united states the united states would not have had the time to respond okay 18:24 and so uh ukraine joining nato is basically the exact same thing as the 18:30 cuban missile crisis now the thing is see the russians decided that they weren't going 18:37 to wait around for the missiles to actually be deployed to ukraine they figured [ __ ] it we can't trust 18:42 these [ __ ] we can't trust the united states we can't trust europe their word means nothing they keep telling us 18:48 things and then lying to us or trying to blackmail us or giving us these [ __ ] sanctions 18:54 we can't trust these [ __ ] for any kind of diplomatic solution and the russians tried they tried for two NATO Expansion 19:01 [ __ ] decades actually closer to three [ __ ] decades they kept insisting that they didn't 19:07 want nato expanding eastward and the west promised them that they wouldn't expand eastward but they did 19:14 they promised that nato would never expand beyond the borders of germany and 19:20 in fact at first there was even enormous debate as to whether nato would would station 19:26 weapons in east germany in the reunified germany you know there was debate as to 19:32 whether they would put them in east germany but then what happened was that you know as the years evolved 19:38 uh um you know nato just became more arrogant the united states became more arrogant 19:44 and they kept moving the frontier of nato eastward 19:50 and they kept saying that it's a defensive alliance okay that's perfectly fine but what are 19:57 you defending against we're just defending okay against what 20:04 well there are no enemies well well there's one big country that's not a member of nato so i guess you know we're not 20:10 trying to do anything but why is russia so upset with us expanding so i guess we have to get even closer to russia and 20:17 become more powerful to deter russia from attacking us so we defend against russia 20:24 so russia is the aggressor basically that was the logic of it 20:30 and russia realized all of a sudden that nato is not a defensive pact no they realize 20:35 this when the whole kosovo thing happened when bill clinton got caught getting his 20:40 dick sucked by monica lewinsky and he needed a geopolitical distraction 20:46 they got involved in the whole destruction of yugoslavia and they bombed belgrade for 75 days straight 20:54 and caused a huge humanitarian crisis and you know the russians never forgot that and then nato Weapons of Mass Destruction 21:00 what nato do went in 2003 to iraq to find the so-called weapons of mass destruction 21:07 were there any weapons of mass destruction no no 21:13 no it was [ __ ] and we all know it was [ __ ] um 21:20 i mean everybody in the middle east knew it was [ __ ] before 21:25 the americans went in everybody knew in the middle east that saddam hussein was bullshitting about 21:32 weapons of mass destruction because he was trying to deter the iranians from attacking him 21:39 and so he came concocted this notion that he might have nukes he might have biologicals he might have chemicals just 21:45 to keep the iranians at bay and the united states used this [ __ ] 21:52 story which they knew was [ __ ] they knew it was [ __ ] they knew that 21:57 saddam hussein was bluffing about having weapons of mass destruction they knew it from the get-go before they went there 22:04 but they used that as the excuse they used saddam hussein's bluff as the excuse to justify the invasion 22:12 and they destroyed iraq hundreds of thousands of people killed perhaps a million 22:18 and certainly millions of iraqis displaced and the country itself destroyed i mean just ruined irreparably 22:23 the country is is a wreck and will never be what it once was i mean it wasn't that much to 22:29 begin with but now it's just a [ __ ] i mean a real [ __ ] just rubble and nothing it's just 22:35 done and it's a tragedy for the iraqi people okay i'm not saying this to belittle the iraqi people i'm just 22:41 saying it to highlight the suffering that the americans inflicted they destroyed the whole [ __ ] country 22:47 for a lie and the russians noticed this and so the russians in the early 2000s 22:52 they started realizing you know these americans they're [ __ ] nuts and they started arming themselves to the teeth that's what they started doing 22:58 and the first thing they started doing was uh scraping off all of these uh foreign financiers and The Russian Armed Forces Today 23:06 all this uh foreign oligarchs from russia and uh getting their [ __ ] in order and so far as their defense is concerned and 23:13 it took them a few years over a decade as a matter of fact but the russian armed forces today 23:21 arguably and this performance in ukraine might actually be proof positive 23:28 arguably the russian military is the best in the world right now superior to the americans certainly more 23:34 capable man for man more capable than the americans and i'll explain it in 23:39 just a moment in this uh live stream but you gotta understand what's going on here see the russians didn't decide out 23:46 of [ __ ] nowhere that they're gonna invade ukraine 23:52 nato was the aggressor in serbia in bosnia nato was the aggressor in iraq 24:00 nato was the aggressor in libya that destroyed libya which was whatever you might have thought of qaddafi i mean he 24:06 was a funder of terrorist terrorism rather and he was a crazy bastard 24:11 yeah remember his 40 virgin bodyguard thing what the [ __ ] was that don't know 24:17 [ __ ] nuts man that's what happens when you got too much money and too much free time you know what i'm saying 24:22 anyway uh qaddafi nutty as he was at least he had a functioning country 24:28 they destroyed it nato destroyed it uh what was hillary's clinton's famous line we came we saw he died 24:36 jesus christ what bloodthirsty [ __ ] that [ __ ] is huh i mean really anyway 24:42 um they destroyed uh um uh yugoslavia they just destroyed uh 24:50 iraq they destroyed libya and the russians by this time they're wise to the game okay in 2014 24:58 there was the famous color revolution in ukraine the color of our revolution was a coup d'etat The Color Revolution 25:03 it was a coup d'etat don't give me [ __ ] that it wasn't you know yanukovych was a president at that time 25:08 and he was very buddy buddies with the russians right and he was a corrupt fat [ __ ] 25:13 no question okay but he was the democratically elected president of um 25:19 of ukraine and he was carrying out the policies that the people of ukraine wanted 25:24 you know i mean that's a fact and what happened why did they decide to pull a color 25:30 revolution and get rid of him of depose him of you know have a coup d'etat to get rid of him 25:36 well because he he was all set to sign the um letter of agreement with the eu 25:42 but then a lot of ethnic russians and eastern ukrainians 25:48 were opposed to it for various reasons and the russians were opposed to it and yanukovych started like sort of 25:53 dithering on the issue and the europeans got pissed i'm simplifying grossly the story but 25:59 for purposes of this conversation it's good enough the europeans got pissed the americans got pissed because they wanted to get 26:06 closer to russia they wanted to expand nato and this was one of the first steps in that direction 26:12 and uh well they got rid of yanukovych um and a coup d'etat yeah 26:17 yanukovych did himself no service no favors because he was a dithering kind of guy you know i mean he was kind of 26:24 like uh he was an old fat [ __ ] who didn't have a lot of balls you know 26:30 what i'm saying i mean he could get it up with some viagra but not on his own you know what i'm saying so anyway 26:37 uh the guy well he got deposed he flew off uh he actually flew off to russia and he's still there as far as i know 26:44 and um poroshenko came in and 26:49 what happened after that well it was a color revolution and it was engineered by a woman named 26:55 victoria nuland remember that name victoria nuland she's the wicked witch of the west okay and she's an evil [ __ ] 27:02 okay i mean really she's like like a hillary clinton type woman you know loud brassy arrogant 27:09 you know just really just a piece of [ __ ] and you know one of those women who 27:15 enjoys a certain level of power and thinks that she earned it 27:20 she's just just a real piece of [ __ ] uh you you read about her you find out more about her and you realize how despicable 27:26 she really is but anyway that's i'll get to that i'll get to her in a minute she was part of the crew that 27:32 engineered uh the coup d'etat in 2014 and the coup caught the russians totally flat-footed 27:39 wait how many people do i have watching 3 300. holy [ __ ] wait you're gonna have to see my fat [ __ ] 27:45 face real close up because i can't see this i got a thousand thumbs up i got 3 27:50 300 people watching dude you poor bastards don't you have anything better to do on a sunday come 27:57 on you [ __ ] suckers go out there it's a sunny day you don't have to listen to me ranting and raving but anyway 28:04 since you're all a bunch of losers like me here we go anyway the point 28:09 um right the color revolution of 2014. 28:15 see the russians at that time they were getting their [ __ ] together insofar as the money situation and the 28:21 weapon situation but they weren't really you know on top of the ball as it were 28:27 and so they hit on a really elegant solution see when the color revolution happened 28:32 see the russians were absolutely terrified that they would lose crimea and that they would lose 28:38 the the jewel of crimea the crimean peninsula when you look at a map of ukraine the crimean peninsula is a very 28:43 south it sticks into the black sea and the jewel of crimean peninsula is of 28:49 course sevastopol which is a city but also a very important naval base 28:54 and the russians did not want to lose it at any cost okay Crimea 29:00 and so they were willing to pay any price to hold on to it and so putin when this whole color revolution 29:06 [ __ ] happened in the confusion of it he realized ukraine is lost but we can't lose crimea and he went out and grabbed 29:13 it simple as that see because after the collapse of the soviet union in 1991 29:18 ukraine had crimea because crimea historically has been 29:24 russian even though it was separated from russia it's always been russia and in fact the 29:30 russian empire in the 19th century fought a war with the british empire over the crimean peninsula and it's 29:35 called the crimean war you know look it up and so anyway the point is and by the 29:42 way you know the charge of light brigade i do believe it happened there but anyway the point is that the 29:48 russians uh the russian empire in the 19th century crimea was theirs 29:54 the soviet union in the 20th century karemia was theirs the russian federation the inheritors 30:01 of the soviet union well they considered crimea theirs but in 30:08 1954 nikita khrushchev had assigned crimea administratively 30:14 to the ukrainian ssr okay which is the the internal division 30:19 of the soviet union and see it was administrative determination 30:24 but what happened was the collapse of the soviet union in 1991 that administrative decision 30:31 led to ukraine in 1991 breaking away from the soviet union and owning crimea 30:39 and russia found itself in the awkward position of having to pay rent 30:44 to have its base in sevastopol and the thing is see what sort of like chapped the ass of the russians was that see on 30:51 crimea 95 of the population there is ethnic russian they identify themselves as russian as russian nationals they 30:58 speak russian they don't speak ukrainian they have no interest in being ukrainian crimea is russian whether you like it or Crimea is Russian 31:05 not okay but anyway they were stuck in this position after 1991 because the russian 31:10 federation in 1991 and throughout the 90s was way too poor to do anything about it now in 2014 when the color revolution 31:18 happened you know all of a sudden putin realized if we lose crimea we lose sevastopol if we 31:24 lose sebastopol who's going to get it nato they didn't want that 31:31 and so the russians went out and grabbed crimea they grabbed it and they didn't actually have to go there because they 31:37 had the military personnel right there on the base it's a military base they had like 60 000 troops on the base 31:44 before the whole truck color revolution just as you know just the way you have sixty thousand troops at uh fort bragg 31:51 georgia whatever the hell you know and so those troops just went out there and took over the island that's that 31:57 okay and uh the peninsula rather not the island and uh the um 32:02 they had a a plebiscite of the population and the plebiscite was probably bent but not by a lot okay 32:08 because the people there felt russian and most of them anyway were like the husbands and wives and 32:15 kids of the military personnel at sevastopol or not all of them of course but a huge chunk i mean 32:21 it's like yeah so crimea became part of russia but ukraine never recognized that but 32:29 even with crimea the russians realized that they were going to have severe problems 32:36 with ukraine and nato and so they hit on a very elegant solution it's extremely elegant and 32:43 extremely cheap and it's very important because you see when you decide to do like some sort of 32:49 military operation you have to factor in the costs of it see and the russians the russians they have 32:55 limited resources and they're aware of that and they act appropriately and a lot of times they act as if they have Zero Gravity Pen 33:00 limited resources even when they don't there's a famous story and i've said i've told this story many times before 33:07 it's a true story that during the um the space race in the 60s 33:13 nasa spent over a million dollars developing a pen that could be used in zero gravity 33:20 because of course you know in zero gravity the the ink flows down because of 33:26 gravity right when you're in zero gravity no gravity you're in space 33:32 and therefore the ink is not going to flow to the tip and be able to write so they developed a hydraulic pen 33:39 for over a million dollars that would push forward the ink so that you could write 33:45 mimicking the effect of gravity they spent a million dollars on this zero gravity pen and you know 33:52 what the russians did with when they had the same problem 33:57 they used a pencil [Laughter] yeah that's the russian way 34:04 why spend a million dollars just use a [ __ ] pencil um i mean that's an elegant solution and 34:10 frankly it's more clever than developing a zero gravity pen 34:15 as far as i'm concerned because yeah you you have a problem and you make do 34:23 the ukraine the russians had a problem in 2014 even though they had crimea 34:28 they didn't want ukraine joining nato 34:35 how to avoid this fate how to avoid ukraine joining nato 34:41 very simple see in the nato bylaws and the articles of nato no new member can join 34:50 if they are in conflict either external conflict or internal conflict 34:55 and so the russians hit on this very nifty solution the southeastern uh regions of ukraine The Russian Solution 35:04 specifically around the cities of donetsk and lugansk 35:09 they are predominantly russian and there have always been russian separatists there and so the russians the russian 35:16 federation the kremlin they started feeding these separatists money and weapons 35:22 on the sly of course and all of a sudden these these gangsters because they are 35:28 they declared themselves the the lugansk people's republic and the donetsk 35:33 people's republic and they broke away from ukraine and the ukrainians sent their army to restore order and all of a 35:40 sudden you have this uh very low-grade civil war that's basically what happened 35:46 and so the the the ukrainians rather than being able to 35:52 join nato all of a sudden have this problem you know in their southeast flank 35:58 and they are you know trying to put these guys down but they can't because 36:04 because because the russians are feeding them money and guns 36:09 and also training and discipline and the whole shebang the whole spectrum 36:14 of what you need to keep up an insurgency at low cost and it was very very cheap for the russians i mean it 36:21 was their pencil solution to the problem see see instead of spending millions in dollars 36:26 instead of invading ukraine no i don't know what they did was they just fed money 36:33 to these uh separatists and the separatists did the job for them all of a sudden ukraine becomes radioactive to 36:40 nato because of the rules because nato all of a sudden realizes if they join if ukraine joins 36:46 then nato as a whole has to go and deal with this problem one way or the other it gets sucked into a war 36:53 you know that where does the war end who knows and [ __ ] it right that's what nato 36:58 says and ukraine is desperate to put down this whole thing and of course the russians are very adamant about keeping The Minsk Agreements 37:05 it rolling and they keep it rolling now i'm going to skip the diplomatic efforts and 2015 and the minsk 37:12 agreements and all that because it's it's long and tedious and it's not it's not particularly relevant to the story i want to tell the story i want to 37:19 get to is basically the minsk agreement just to polish that off because it plays a peripheral role 37:24 in 2015 angela merkel for various reasons and uh and francois hollande the then 37:31 president of france they wrangle the representatives of the donetsk and luganza people's republics 37:38 and rounded them up in minsk and with the ukrainian government and they decided on a path to settling the 37:45 problem and it depended on ukraine negotiating directly with these people's 37:50 republics with these breakaway republics as they became called and i'll call them that for the rest of this because you know 37:56 and so what happened was that you know ukraine was not happy about this but for 38:01 reasons that were important at the time that now are trivial they agreed to it and that's that and so there's the men's 38:07 agreements that were ratified by the united nations security council by the way 38:13 this agreement was ratified it wasn't like uh you know just some random [ __ ] no it was like a real deal okay 38:20 and this was the pathway to peace in the region 38:26 and so what happens is that see the ukrainians never implement the mins 38:31 agreements they never carry out their part of the deal and their part of the deal is that they have to um 38:38 negotiate directly with the donetsk and lugans people's republic and they never get around to doing that 38:44 um and and they always postpone and they don't want to because they don't want to recognize them because if they recognize 38:50 them if they if they recognize them and start to negotiate directly with them then they give these breakaway republics 38:57 legitimacy and ukraine doesn't want that of course not because they consider them not even The State of Play 39:02 insurrectionists but just petty criminals who have to be put down i mean that's how they treat them on a legal sense right so anyway um 39:09 this is ongoing from 2015 the russians of course they insist on some sort of 39:15 agreement but they really don't care because they want to keep ukraine out of nato and the way to do it is they keep 39:21 on fomenting trouble and so they they talk you know both sides out of their mouth 39:26 out of both sides of their mouths the russians they say yes you have to implement the minsk agreements uh 39:32 ukraine and on the other hand the russians are the ones feeding money to these breakaway republics and the ukrainians aren't stupid they know this 39:38 everybody knows it okay i mean [ __ ] a [ __ ] like me who's an ingrown buffoon knows this [ __ ] right 39:44 so anyway um this is the state of play for 2015 through 2021. 39:51 okay now here comes the interesting bit in 2000 in october of 2021 40:00 a um jake sullivan starts telling the financial times 40:05 off the record that the russians are amassing troops at the border of ukraine and he gives a 40:11 a location well the location he gave he gave rather was near i think it was near 40:17 kursk in in russia and see it was just the regular military base and in fact the military base was 40:22 just closer to belarus than to uh then to ukraine oh yeah and i forgot i 40:28 forgot the the almost color revolution of 2020 in ukraine now let me let me 40:34 take you back to 2020. excuse me i got gotta get some water here let me oh over here i have a open 40:40 bottle and um yeah when you say open bottle that sounds nasty now doesn't it you think oh man he's gonna be drunk by the 40:47 end of this [ __ ] no so only water 40:54 yeah i went to a store and bought this yeah i used the word uh for water in russian 40:59 yeah i i don't know that many words in russian but i i know the word for uh water it's a Why Does NATO Hate Russia 41:05 a vodka yeah and give me that and yeah it's pretty good 41:11 bad joke okay dad joke i know [ __ ] off anyway the point in 2020 41:16 the um they started fomenting a color revolution in belarus with the same 41:23 purpose of bringing nato closer to russia because nato 41:28 has become uh um let's step back why do why does nato 41:33 hate russia so much why does nato want to get so close to russia 41:39 see this is a key question well because you see 41:45 um there is a 41:50 segment there are several segments in the neoliberal 41:56 western democratic establishment that 42:01 both hates russia and covets russia see how can i put this delicately 42:09 there is a significant number of people of a certain ethnic group that 42:15 hate russia with a passion for historical reasons ancient historical reasons and even 42:21 though these people now uh live in the united states are american citizens you know and and they 42:26 dress like american citizens and powerful positions in the establishment 42:32 they hate russia with a passion they hate it from way back when from persecutions of 42:38 the times of the tsars but not even the czars of the 19th century but like i'm talking like 14th century [ __ ] i mean 42:45 it's it's an ancient ethnic hatred that goes back centuries almost a millennia 42:50 okay um if you're interested in reading about it you should check out alexandra 42:55 jennetson's very famous book 200 years together yes it's one of those prohibited books Why The West Hates Russia 43:01 that has never been translated into english although there are um unofficial translations floating 43:07 around on the internet it's pretty easy to find if you know where to look you just google this [ __ ] google 200 years 43:13 together pdf and you'll find plenty of different uh versions of it anyway 43:19 uh the point is this this ethnic group hates russia with a passion and wants to see it destroyed 43:25 okay now there's another uh section of the american european establishment 43:33 that wants to see ukraine be exploited like it was back in the 90s 43:41 and wants covets rather russia's natural resources because russia is a huge country it has colossal 43:48 natural resources of all sorts and these financiers and these uh capitalists want 43:56 those natural resources and then there's a third component where there is the national security sector 44:03 that wants number one money for weapon systems to fight russia and number two 44:08 wants to see russia destroyed for ego reasons okay i mean in the west there the russians 44:14 have a lot of enemies and you say that the russians are paranoid no no no no i mean like the saying goes you know it's 44:19 not paranoid if they're after you okay uh yeah they're they're after them they 44:25 they hate the russians these at least these three groups and others too for various reasons i mean reasons that have 44:32 little to do with russia if you think about it have everything to do with their own private psychosis or their own 44:37 greed or evil you know call it what you will anyway the point see um 44:46 they want to get as close to russia as possible they want to break up russia they don't want a unified russian they 44:52 want to break it up okay and they want to exploit it and and just suck it dry i mean like a vampire squid The Russians Are Wise 45:00 right to the face you know i'm talking about anyway the russians they're wise to this situation of course 45:07 they don't want it they don't want their own destruction right and russia's got plenty of problems of 45:12 its own you know demographic problems problems with abortion that's limiting its demographic growth 45:18 all kinds of [ __ ] like that but let's leave that aside for now i mean they're aware of this everybody's aware of it 45:23 but the russians you know the demographic problem is serious but they've got this imminent problem of this cabal in the west that really wants 45:31 them dead dead and destroyed and destitute and just broken apart 45:37 and so what they decide to do is they're going to arm themselves to the teeth and they're going to make a lot of money and 45:44 build up a war chest of a lot of [ __ ] money and they do now in 2020 45:50 the um [Music] the west tried to engineer another cuddler revolution this time in belarus 45:56 they wanted to get rid of lukashenko who's been the president slash dictator of belarus 46:02 since 1994 or 1991 actually and it's way back the guy was actually a member of the 46:08 um polit bureau of the soviet union back in the day yeah he goes way back anyway 46:15 uh this guy he's corrupt you know nepotistic i mean all kinds of 46:20 nastiness right and this [ __ ] has played both sides off the middle the europeans and the and the russians off against each other for 46:27 his own benefit good on him you know i mean he's caught between the europeans and the russians and so why the [ __ ] not 46:33 right but the thing is see the europeans and the americans nato want to get rid of him with this color revolution and so 46:38 he throws his lot in with uncle vlad or uncle via volvia i think of vlad i don't know 46:45 how the [ __ ] you know the shortened name the vladimir is but anyway you get the point 46:51 lukashenko gets to be awfully close to putin because putin 46:57 saves his bacon putin is the one who gives him the heads up about the color revolution putin Putin Saves His Bacon 47:03 or members of the putin government wrap up an attempted coup against 47:09 lukashenko i mean they really saved his ass and lukashenko knows it he's smart enough to realize what's what and he 47:15 realizes that the europeans want his head and so he sides with the russians 47:21 the the europeans the westerners in their impatience instead of keeping on playing with 47:27 lukashenko and keeping him going until a replacement came around that was really their guy 47:33 and with that with that new guy they could push lukashenko aside no they figured that they'd just get rid of 47:38 lukashenko right off the bat and then they'd figure out who they'd replace him with and see that was the mistake that 47:43 the west made and so lukashenko he threw in his lot with 47:48 with putin putin protected him and in exchange putin got him to sign a 47:54 whole bunch of agreements for all intents and purposes dissolving the border between belarus and russia i 48:02 mean technically it still exists technically they're two separate countries but everything that belarus does it does at the direction of putin 48:10 and the kremlin i mean the kremlin owns lukashenko's ass they own belarus 48:17 it's an ugly reality but that's the truth okay and frankly from lukashenko's point of 48:22 view there was nothing to be done this was it okay so we're up to 2020. 48:29 and uh you know there have been all kinds of problems with uh you know i mean you know the west is pissed over 48:34 the failed color revolution uh in belarus right 48:40 okay so we hit october uh late october 2021. 48:45 now the buy demonstration is all kinds of trouble you know covet the vaccines the 48:51 you know inflation you know afghanistan the humiliation of that uh evacuation 48:56 you know and the whole bit you know the whole [ __ ] thing you know it's going south the binding administration is in trouble so jake Biden Administration In Trouble 49:03 sullivan the national security adviser and a guy who's very close to hillary clinton who loves herself some color 49:09 revolutions she starts talking about how there's a military buildup of the russians 49:15 now the russians just have their you know their soldiers you know and just their regular bases right what the [ __ ] 49:21 they are talking about right and the russians of course know that they have no intention of invading ukraine why the [ __ ] is this [ __ ] going on 49:28 what's going on here and well retrospectively it's clear what was going on see jake sullivan must have 49:34 gotten wind that the durham investigation was going after him was targeting him and that came out a couple 49:39 of weeks ago as a matter of fact but back in october he must have gotten wind of it okay 49:44 and so jake sullivan clearly to distract 49:50 started floating this idiotic story to focus everybody's attention on this [ __ ] and other 49:56 groups in the biden administration and the democratic party started getting on this story because it 50:02 distracted from all the domestic problems going on in the united states that that's essentially what was going on 50:09 and now here comes the part that i'm speculating okay now you take what i what i'm gonna say with as big a grain 50:16 of salt as you want but this is speculation but this is i think more or less what happened 50:21 the russians i think the russians they saw this now they knew that they had no intention of invading 50:27 ukraine in october of 2021 okay but they must have figured you know 50:33 what are these [ __ ] americans up to let's play along you got to remember see vladimir putin 50:39 the man vladimir putin right he is not a chess player because the russians love their chess i mean they love it you know 50:46 and they learn it when they're little kids and it's not just russia but also ukraine and belarus i mean all 50:52 all the ethnic russian people for some reason they [ __ ] love it oh yeah my like uh my father-in-law is 50:59 teaching the my kids or a little how to play chess and they're into it you know it's a weird little habit so it doesn't Putin Is Into Judo 51:05 matter it's perfectly fine it's perfectly harmless but everybody thinks that you know russians are great chess masters and they are 51:11 but see putin is not into chess he's into judo i mean it's he said repeatedly that for 51:18 him judo was a was a lifesaver he was a little bit of a juvenile delinquent until he discovered judo when he was 51:24 like 13 or 14 and he got into it in a big way you know the way you know 14 year old will get into anything in a big 51:30 way and um he pursued judo very very uh 51:36 diligently and he got to be pretty good at it and what's the whole principle of judo 51:42 it's two things number one using your enemy's force against him 51:47 and the other is decisiveness now these are two very very important qualities using your enemy's 51:53 force against him and decisiveness okay 51:58 now i once saw something really charming i thought it was a video of vladimir 52:04 putin in a judo outfit and this uh scrawny little kid 52:09 he must have been like maybe i'd say maybe 11 or 12 years old but before you know hitting puberty still a 52:15 boy right not not quite a young man and this boy is also dressed up in his little judo outfit you know and he's 52:22 noticeably shorter and smaller and lighter you know i mean like half as wide as vladimir putin and putin is not 52:28 a thick man he's not you know he's not fat and and quite a bit shorter you know and 52:34 and this boy takes um grabs uh vladimir putin 52:41 president of russia and flips him you know it's kind of adorable and you you 52:46 see it was it was i thought it was very funny because vladimir putin's face is completely impassive during the whole 52:52 operation where this small boy uh takes him and executes very perfectly 52:58 the judo move of flipping your opponent over and uh and and The Point Of Judo 53:03 vladimir putin being somebody who's done this for years he knows exactly what's happening you know it's 53:08 i mean it wasn't like a humiliation of it it was just practice right and uh what's interesting is that see 53:16 that boy was carrying out something key in judo which is decisiveness see 53:21 because you see the boy was you know a slim young man a some boy uh he must 53:28 have been maybe a third of the weight of um the adult vladimir putin 53:34 and see if the boy had hesitated in the middle of the move vladimir putin just because by virtue of 53:40 his weight okay no intention whatsoever uh would have crushed him if the boy had like flipped him and sort of like 53:46 flipped him and right in the middle had kind of hesitated you know the body of vladimir putin would have 53:52 been heavy enough to just you know fall on top of the poor boy potentially hurt him and that's the point of judo in judo 53:58 they teach you i took a couple of classes uh when i was a boy 54:03 that what you have to do is be decisive you grab the guy and you flip him okay 54:09 once you decide that what you're going to do do it and do it smoothly efficiently quickly decisively 54:19 excuse me sorry about that hang on 54:28 ah and by the way do you guys hear me properly hit me with a plus one if you guys can hear me properly yeah no 54:34 choking oh covet i don't know how many people are watching 4 500. dude that's pretty good 54:40 plus one you guys hear me properly okay good yeah so anyway like i was saying um 54:46 judo teaches you to use your enemies force against him and teaches you to be decisive 54:54 okay okay so in november 2021 you know there's all Russian Military Buildup 55:03 this talk that of a russian military buildup my suspicion is that the russians had no intention 55:09 and no interest in any kind of military buildup but they went along with it to see like where is this [ __ ] going 55:14 and what they discovered all of a sudden is that everybody started getting hysterical about this so-called military buildup even though there really wasn't 55:21 any evidence for it in november of 2021 at any rate not real evidence i mean it was like saying that the americans are 55:28 planning to invade mexico because they have a whole bunch of troops amassing at 55:33 fort bragg georgia and you'd be like what the [ __ ] you talking about that's a regular base and besides it's really 55:38 [ __ ] far away from mexico no no no no the the soldiers in fort bragg are gonna 55:44 invade mexico and you're like okay let's see where this [ __ ] goes 55:49 i mean i suspect that was the mentality of the russians and what happened was that 55:54 all of a sudden they discovered that the europeans and the americans had different priorities see the 56:02 americans were all hell bent for leather on like trying to split the russians from the europeans 56:10 and the europeans all of a sudden found out that they needed russia's natural gas 56:15 because their own energy policy has had been so short-sighted that they had an energy deficit that could only be 56:21 plugged by russian natural gas and so what happened was that 56:28 the kremlin putin and the whole group the whole leadership class of russia 56:34 they realized that they could diplomatically split the europeans from the americans 56:40 and they started acting in that direction of creating the conditions whereby the 56:45 europeans and the americans would split because they had different interests and they kind of succeeded 56:51 okay but the hysteria kept on going and anyway in december of 2021 the 56:58 russians decided to use this diplomatic weakness Russian Concessions 57:03 uh to see if they could get some concessions and the number one concession that they wanted was a halt to nato expansion number one 57:11 that's always been a priority for them number two um the indivisibility of 57:16 security which is a concept whereby no country's security 57:21 should be arrived at by creating insecurity for another okay that 57:26 european security had to be integrated not like individualized because that would just lead to a a constant battle 57:34 you know an arms race if you will so it had to be an individual indivisibility of security and the third 57:40 thing that they wanted was a roll back of nato to um i think it was uh 57:46 1997 borders it might have been something like that it doesn't matter and the point is see 57:52 the russians flirted these ideas you know thinking you know this is the best chance we'll ever get to see if we 57:58 get what we want and the uh you know the americans and nato 58:03 didn't just throw away these uh well nato did nato delivered a response that was juvenile and ideological and [ __ ] 58:11 insane if you think about it and and [ __ ] sophomoric i mean you got to read that [ __ ] thing but anyway that's not important the important thing 58:18 is that see the americans kind of like sort of like uh well maybe you know and they kept like kind of like dangling in 58:24 front of the russians the possibility of a diplomatic solution right and the russians kind of like went along 58:30 with this to see if if they'd get it and then all of a sudden they realize you know we're never going to get anything from 58:36 these guys because these guys the americans you can't trust them 58:42 and and that's the bottom line you the russians realized in their bones 58:47 that they could never trust the americans and any agreement that they arrived at with the americans the 58:52 americans would break it which is accurate okay uh i mean [ __ ] you know yeah donald 58:59 trump who unilaterally and for no [ __ ] reason whatsoever got in got out of the Donald Trump 59:05 uh intermediate range ballistic missile treaty that was negotiated during the time of ronald 59:11 reagan and was in fact a linchpin of the collective security of europe you 59:18 know i mean and donald trump you know i mean [ __ ] idiot to have done that you know 59:25 he just undermined european security for no [ __ ] reason he just wanted to like you know we can negotiate a better deal 59:31 you know look at my orange hair the [ __ ] you anyway god i [ __ ] hate that guy because he's 59:37 a [ __ ] [ __ ] okay he's a [ __ ] idiot and he's a weak that's the thing i despise he's weak 59:44 i could accept if he's stupid but he's weak i can't yeah i mean you you can work with 59:49 a person who's stupid you can't work with somebody who's weak you know what i'm saying anyway uh putin realized man these [ __ ] 59:56 americans there's no way to get anything done with these [ __ ] and 1:00:02 what happened was that the europeans and the americans kept egging on ukraine and ukraine under 1:00:08 zelinski zielenski is a a regime 1:00:14 [Applause] they're ugly people zelensky has no problem repressing any 1:00:22 criticism of his he has shut down tv channels and persecuted journalists who are critical 1:00:28 of him he's persecuted political opponents use the powers of the state to go after them 1:00:34 i mean the guy is not the nicest guy in the world he's not a white hat okay he is he's an ugly character 1:00:41 and so anyway ukraine kept on poking the bear 1:00:46 and provoking the russians thinking that they had europe and the americans at their back 1:00:54 and then what happened finally was that see they kept on provoking the russians 1:01:00 and the russians finally said you know [ __ ] it they keep saying that we're gonna invade 1:01:05 let's [ __ ] invade already i think that that was basically it and i think also too and it's actually 1:01:12 been proven this part that i'm gonna i'm gonna say originally was my speculation but 1:01:17 it has proven to be true and my speculation which i arrived at um at the very start of this war and was 1:01:24 uh confirmed a couple of days ago was that when um there was the munich summit with 1:01:31 all the leaders you know talking about all kinds of diplomatic [ __ ] and zelensky the president of ukraine 1:01:38 started floating the idea that ukraine should reacquire nuclear weapons 1:01:43 and nuclear missiles to protect itself 1:01:48 and nobody none of the other um leaders of the western democracies there said a peep said how [ __ ] 1:01:56 insane that idea was huh because who's who are the ukrainians 1:02:01 going to use those nuclear weapons against the russians they're the only ones right what they're 1:02:07 gonna shoot them at the [ __ ] hungarians or the moldovans or some [ __ ] like that come on 1:02:12 and so all of a sudden the russians start hearing this [ __ ] and they realize you know these [ __ ] are crazy they're 1:02:18 [ __ ] fools and if we don't take uh uh the driver's seat insofar as ukraine 1:02:24 we're gonna wake up one morning with these [ __ ] crazy ass ukrainians with nuclear weapons either their own 1:02:30 or nato nuclear weapons [ __ ] that 1:02:36 that's why they invaded that's the story okay 1:02:41 they realized that they could not reach any kind of diplomatic agreement with the west 1:02:47 and that ukraine goaded by the west led up the garden path 1:02:54 by the west was going to provoke russia 1:03:00 and potentially you know now i mean in in march of or rather february of uh 1:03:06 2022 the the ukrainian army started lobbing shells at um 1:03:12 the donetsk people's republic and the lugans people's republicans some of those shells started landing in russia 1:03:18 and the russians started realizing you know these [ __ ] might start lobbying shells but with not shells but with 1:03:24 nuclear warheads on them what the [ __ ] 1:03:30 that's what they realized [ __ ] it we gotta invade these [ __ ] and take them over and get rid of this government okay 1:03:38 and that leads up to my other video that's already on whereby explain the strategy of the russians the russians 1:03:45 don't mean to destroy ukraine on the contrary they want it intact and they want the ukrainian army intact 1:03:51 they just want to get rid of the zelensky government and right now as we're speaking uh 1:03:58 representatives of the zielinski government are in you in belarus negotiating with russian representatives 1:04:05 for a ceasefire and everything is on the table and we're barely we're not even four days into 1:04:11 this invasion it started thursday morning thursday morning now friday morning saturday morning sunday morning 1:04:18 and it's not yet monday morning so it's barely three and a half days into this war and 1:04:23 the ukrainians are suing for peace they're trying to pretend that they're not and the ukrainians are very very 1:04:30 good at the information warfare game but see the russians are good at the warfare game 1:04:35 okay not so good at information warfare game but very good at that just plain old warfare game and at the end of the 1:04:42 day only one of those kinds of warfare matters i'll give you three guesses but you're 1:04:48 only going to need one you know what i'm saying so the russians are winning this war and by the way i i have to say this and and 1:04:55 i i'm adamant about this why is it that every [ __ ] talking head on twitter and whatever the [ __ ] 1:05:02 thinks that the russians are losing i mean it's so [ __ ] unrealistic and stupid 1:05:08 the war has been going on uh what as i'm speaking to you now it's about 11 1:05:13 p.m local time or something like that so it's been going on for uh roughly 90 1:05:19 hours and in 90 hours the uh russians have conquered more 1:05:25 territory than the americans did in the same amount of time 1:05:30 in the 2003 invasion of iraq and the difference of course is that in iraq the americans spent like a month or so 1:05:38 leveling the whole [ __ ] country with 24 7 airstrikes all over the [ __ ] place 1:05:44 destroying every bit of infrastructure in that country and only then they roll in and they still have captured captured 1:05:51 then in 2003 less territory than the russians are captured have captured today 1:05:56 in the same amount of time of course see the russian offensive 1:06:02 uh when you look at it from a military history perspective is one of the most brilliant in history 1:06:08 certainly the fastest and most effective uh uh mechanized invasion in history i 1:06:15 mean it blows away the german blitzkrieg we always talk about the german blitzkrieg as if it's the bee's knees of 1:06:21 mechanized warfare and what happens is that see the military imagination focuses on the 1:06:28 netherlands and belgium of how the the germans swept through the netherlands and belgium into france 1:06:35 because in our imaginations the netherlands and belgium are very very big but see in actual geographic terms 1:06:42 they're very small see and that's why the german offensive the blitzkrieg across northern europe 1:06:50 mentally psychologically seems like a huge deal but when you're actually there on the ground it's it's nothing i mean 1:06:58 i got my motorcycle uh i got a motorcycle in in netherlands when i was living there and i rode all over the [ __ ] country i mean 1:07:04 the greatest distance i covered was from amsterdam to maastricht it took me two 1:07:10 and a half hours at a leisurely pace on the freeway okay uh you know it's not that [ __ ] big 1:07:18 and so of course that blitzkrieg seems fast but when you actually 1:07:24 measure the territory conquered and the amount and the distance it's nothing compared to what the russians are doing 1:07:30 today okay and the russian strategy is very obvious 1:07:35 it's to probe the cities and whenever they meet resistance to pull back and encircle that's what they're doing 1:07:41 they're encircling the cities they've encircled kharkov the second largest city of ukraine they've encircled they 1:07:48 are in the process of encircling kiev you know they're winning this war no matter how you measure it 1:07:55 they're winning it okay and they are doing it and they are avoiding big battles it's just small arm 1:08:02 skirmishes you know and some uh light shelling and and you see all these rockets going and you think oh my god 1:08:09 it's it's light showing it's not that big of a deal okay in modern combat it's not that big of a deal 1:08:15 and anyway what's really been hit hard have been military targets okay the cities are pretty much untouched so 1:08:22 anyway the point i'm trying to make is that the russians are winning and the people in the west talking about this 1:08:28 war they don't know what the [ __ ] they're talking about they don't seem to understand the mechanics of 1:08:34 a military invasion of a uh of tanks sweeping across the country 1:08:40 they think that this is like formula one racing that they can sweep across a country as big as ukraine in an 1:08:45 afternoon [ __ ] i rode my motorcycle my bmw r1200 1:08:52 gsa adventure right i wrote that [ __ ] thing from the border of poland with ukraine 1:09:00 levive kamenetzky um kiev 1:09:07 it took me four [ __ ] days to make that crossing okay the distance from one end of 1:09:14 ukraine to the other east to west is greater than the distance from ukraine's uh western border with poland 1:09:22 to paris it's greater than that okay the country is [ __ ] huge 1:09:29 and these [ __ ] are rolling it up simple as that and they're going to roll up the whole [ __ ] thing the russians are going to 1:09:35 roll up the whole [ __ ] thing and these negotiations that are going on which by the way the fact that the the ukrainians wanted 1:09:42 uh you know negotiations after less than four days and they're losing they know 1:09:47 it they know that they're losing the fact that they are forcibly conscripting 1:09:53 men between the ages of 18 and 60 which they are 1:09:58 that proves that they're losing because you only resort to that kind of tactic you know after the fourth fifth month of 1:10:04 grinding you know fighting of of just grinding meat grinding kind of like war of 1:10:11 attrition kind of [ __ ] the the fact that they're doing it now they're losing they're losing badly 1:10:18 but in terms of propaganda they're winning and so what happens is the people 1:10:23 on twitter the people on facebook the people all over [ __ ] social media 1:10:29 these [ __ ] people they have a completely warped sense of what the [ __ ] is going on 1:10:36 i mean i'm here right now in this [ __ ] country i'm in the middle of the [ __ ] invasion man i'm in [ __ ] 1:10:43 downtown kiev and i'm telling you the russians are winning 1:10:49 and they're winning uh spectacularly and the worst part or the to add insult to injury 1:10:55 is that the russians are not using their varsity team to make this win 1:11:00 okay no because a lot of people have been noticing that uh you know the prisoners of war that get captured and it's 1:11:06 inevitable both sides lose prisoners of war and [ __ ] like that's part of mechanized warfare okay it doesn't mean 1:11:13 that one side is winning or losing it just means that you know some soldiers in a army of who knows how many hundreds 1:11:19 of thousands of men got uh you know caught by the enemy it doesn't mean [ __ ] 1:11:25 but they've noticed that a lot of these uh prisoners of war russian prisons of war are pretty green young guys i mean 1:11:30 19 year olds right and very green little experience and the weapons that they're using the tanks 1:11:37 i mean yeah sure there are a few that are kind of new but most of them are like things from the 2000s and some of them 1:11:43 from the 1990s and everybody's saying what the [ __ ] does that mean and well it's pretty [ __ ] obvious if 1:11:50 you think about it the russians what do they do with this first wave they use their old year and their second 1:11:57 tier soldiers not exactly as cannon fodder but they're keeping their best people in 1:12:03 reserve because they do have better soldiers better soldiers and better in better equipment and this is known 1:12:10 this is not like they they say that you know like the girlfriend in canada no it's the real deal these guys have 1:12:16 state of the art tanks state-of-the-art self-propelled weapons and stuff like that and very badass [ __ ] 1:12:23 soldiers i mean like the [ __ ] that they sent to kazakhstan a couple of months ago and that's i'll talk about 1:12:28 that in a little bit but the point see the russians have primo soldiers i mean they have 1:12:35 great soldiers very well equipped okay 1:12:41 but the people that they send the first wave not so great not so well equipped why 1:12:47 well because they wanted to probe to see what kind of defenses they'd get from the ukrainians and also because you see 1:12:53 the ukrainians defending their their territory they're going to use their best people to defend it 1:12:59 and so you use your second tier people to wear down the best defenses 1:13:05 so that later your best soldiers are up against a worn down defense 1:13:10 and you can wipe them out see that's the strategy also i suspect another strategy when you have um 1:13:18 second-tier soldiers they go in and they do the heavy lifting of the first wave and and the probing attacks 1:13:25 and whatnot and then later when you have conquered the whole [ __ ] country and you need 1:13:30 an occupying army you use your more disciplined more experienced soldiers 1:13:35 because these more experienced and disciplined soldiers they're not going to abuse the populace it's inevitable that 1:13:42 um a conquering army will abuse the civilians it happens in 1:13:48 every war if you don't know it look up the father of emmett till the father of emmett till was a soldier 1:13:56 in the american army in world war ii and after the end of the war he was part of the occupying force 1:14:02 in italy and he was arrested tried court-martialed and convicted and 1:14:07 executed for raping a bunch of italian women yeah look it up i'm not picking this [ __ ] up 1:14:13 man it happens in every [ __ ] war you know the military uh and it's inevitable you know 1:14:20 guys with guns and a lot of come you know they just go out there and do all kinds of abuses it's it happens and it's 1:14:27 ugly and that's life anyway the point with more disciplined soldiers with the 1:14:33 top-tier soldiers those guys they have the discipline to not abuse the citizenry which is of course what the 1:14:39 russians want because they want a political solution to this problem they don't want to conquer ukraine they don't want to destroy ukraine they just want 1:14:46 ukraine with a different leadership they want it with a leadership like what they have with lukashenko lukashenko is their 1:14:52 buddy buddy he does whatever they want and most important of all he doesn't allow nato to set up shop in [ __ ] 1:14:59 belarus what the russians want is for ukraine to not allow [ __ ] nato to set up shop 1:15:07 simple as now the thing is see the russians 1:15:13 uh have uh offered this they've agreed to this negotiation they are talking 1:15:18 with the ukrainians right now whatever agreement comes out of it well 1:15:23 i doubt if any agreement will come out of it and the russians will never actually agree to it they might claim that they'll agree to it but they're not 1:15:29 going to because they don't trust zelensky they want to get rid of them okay and 1:15:34 i'll say this um i don't know how this is going to sound but i'm talking not as a moral 1:15:40 judgment or anything of the sort i'm just saying what i think will happen i think that the russians will figure 1:15:47 out a way to assassinate zelinski in some in some way that doesn't splash 1:15:54 a lot of [ __ ] their way because they can't afford to have zelensky live and fly off and have a government of in 1:16:01 exile of ukraine they can't afford that they're not going to allow that to happen and so they'll promise zelinski 1:16:07 you know safe passage they'll promise him all kinds of [ __ ] and the first opportunity they have the russians will 1:16:12 kill him kill him or neutralize him somehow in a way that is permanent 1:16:18 the only thing that's permanent is death of course okay i don't think that they're gonna grab him and throw him in a prison uh because 1:16:25 then it would create a martyr figure like nelson mandela see the russians are smart they know their history they love 1:16:31 their history which is actually one of the great qualities of russians as far as i'm 1:16:36 concerned you know care caring about history knowing your history 1:16:42 learning from it you can become a very powerful man if you pay attention to history and 1:16:48 learn from it and the russians most certainly have paid attention to history they they pay attention they're smart [ __ ] 1:16:54 and so because they know their history they know the story of nelson mandela they 1:17:00 know the story of uh people who have formed governments in exile 1:17:06 like what happened with ayatollah khomeini the ayatollah khomeini was an exile in 1:17:11 paris and he essentially created a parallel government in exile in paris and when 1:17:16 the shah finally fell they just shipped him in and they were ready to go and they took over the whole [ __ ] thing yeah the islamic 1:17:23 revolution baby that's what happened in 79 in january of 79 the russians know that 1:17:29 they're smart they're not going to let it happen again not not to them at any rate so as far as zelinsky is concerned and 1:17:36 zielinski said that he's the number one target for the russians and he's right the russians want him dead 1:17:42 and they'll agree to any conditions and this and that and then they'll figure out a way to get rid of him but 1:17:48 permanently get rid of him and i i don't mean this in a nasty way i'm i'm just talking about 1:17:54 purely as a as war gaming strategy you know what i'm saying yeah anyway 1:18:01 um they're gonna install somebody and look they are going to conquer the whole [ __ ] country 1:18:07 that's inevitable now i said that they are holding back their best soldiers with the best 1:18:12 equipment they're holding them back for the occupation yes that's one of the reasons the other reason 1:18:18 they're holding back their best people in case the americans and the europeans do something stupid like try to invade 1:18:24 ukraine from poland okay this is a distinct possibility right now because the the westerners are 1:18:30 getting hysterical over this ukrainian situation and so the issue i think could become that 1:18:39 the russians well the russians are seeing this hysteria and it's scaring them that's why they move these nuclear 1:18:45 weapons to scare off the americans in turn but i don't think it's having the effect that the russians intended they 1:18:50 thought that they'd show off their nuclear weapon and say and and the west would sort of like calm down and then be like rational 1:18:58 and say whoa whoa whoa whoa nelly let's chill the [ __ ] out but no the europeans it seems clear is that they're going 1:19:05 even more insane and this is a bad thing for everybody now 1:19:10 why am i saying that the europeans are going insane and the americans too but to a lesser extent but the europeans 1:19:15 most definitely well the europeans just now the germans the german uh chancellor olaf schultz 1:19:23 um pledged a hundred billion euros over the next two years to beef up german's 1:19:29 military and that's a whole lot of [ __ ] money in two years and that's a panic move 1:19:36 and the other thing too is that they're all hell bent for leather on pulling russia out of swift 1:19:41 but they don't seem to realize that if they pull russia out of swift russia can just say okay [ __ ] you i'm not gonna sell you natural gas i'm not gonna sell 1:19:48 you food i'm not going to sell you petroleum and europe is [ __ ] because you see they 1:19:54 import roughly half of all of those commodities from russia or from ukraine and russia now controls 1:20:02 ukraine see and so the europeans in their panic are 1:20:07 doing things that are self-destructive to them and they don't seem to realize it 1:20:12 they're so panicked and so weaked out and and i think that here we're we're having a major major problem because 1:20:19 it's the europeans and the americans that are no longer thinking rationally and all this commentary that you're 1:20:26 seeing online about how the russians are losing this war that they're not advancing quickly enough 1:20:32 and how come the russians are not destroying all the infrastructure like we do which is just stupid because of the 1:20:39 reasons i mentioned that the americans like to destroy [ __ ] but the russians don't want to destroy 1:20:45 [ __ ] on the contrary they want to capture it intact and in working order 1:20:50 that's why i'm able to talk to you on this [ __ ] live stream because if the russians wanted to destroy the 1:20:57 infrastructure i wouldn't be talking to you and in fact there wouldn't be any electricity where 1:21:02 i am now and in fact there wouldn't be any running water hot nice hot water running water 1:21:08 uh no heating either no [ __ ] a cell phone no it would be [ __ ] dark if they wanted it but they 1:21:15 don't want it that's why it's still on after nearly four days of combat 1:21:20 the russians want to capture ukraine intact in one piece 1:21:26 not break it not like the americans the american way of war is to destroy the russian way of war 1:21:34 is to capture and control but never break which makes complete sense man i mean 1:21:41 you say that uh the russians acted immorally by invading ukraine okay fine 1:21:47 let me ask you something when a thief breaks into a jewelry store 1:21:53 yeah he smashes the cases where the jewels are but does he take that crowbar and start smashing the actual jewels 1:22:00 no he doesn't because that's the value of the [ __ ] thing now isn't it right but that's what the americans do the 1:22:06 russians aren't doing that the russians broke into the store and they smashed the glass cases but they're 1:22:11 not smashing the jewels they're stealing them but they're not smashing them the americans smash them 1:22:18 okay and and the americans now since they're so used to smashing [ __ ] they're wondering how come you're not smashing 1:22:24 the jewels like we do you see what i'm saying okay so anyway um 1:22:31 the uh the russians you gotta admire this invasion it's been 1:22:37 amazing they they are taking over the southeast the um 1:22:43 the the northeast you know around kharkov and this morning i got word that 1:22:48 soldiers had penetrated into kharkov it's just a matter of time before a car crop falls it's surrounded and so that's 1:22:54 game over it's just a matter of time and um insofar as the south is concerned 1:22:59 from the crimea they've captured kursan they've captured the aborigia they're well on their way to nepal they're 1:23:05 probably maybe 48 hours away 48 to 72 hours away from nepal 1:23:10 and once they hit nepal which is the third largest city of ukraine you know they've they will have been surrounded 1:23:17 they will have rather surrounded the biggest three cities of ukraine 1:23:22 and they will fall inevitably when you surround a city it's just inevitable and the mayor of kiev 1:23:29 the city where i am now he admitted to the ap and then he took it back but he admitted to the ap that 1:23:36 kiev is surrounded and i know for a fact that three of the four highways that lead out of kiev have been 1:23:43 interdicted by the russian army the only one that's still available is the one heading west 1:23:50 all the other three the two eastward ones uh and the um the one that goes northwest 1:23:58 uh have been interdicted i think also this there's a couple of southern ones southern routes that are well they're 1:24:03 major but not that major i think that they're still open but uh klitschko the the mayor of of 1:24:10 kiev he said i think it was a slip of the tongue he said that kiev is surrounded and he 1:24:15 said it like maybe you know a couple of hours ago so that's probably right he took it back in the facebook post but 1:24:21 you know the cat's out of the back you know and so the point is see the russians 1:24:27 how did they attack well they didn't see what they do is they'd go up against some unit 1:24:33 ukrainian unit they push up against it and when they encounter resistance they pull back and 1:24:39 surround that was their approach that has been that has been their approach throughout this war 1:24:45 and so from the ukrainian perspective it actually raises their morale because the ukrainians they're defending 1:24:51 and then they see these attackers coming their way and they push forward to fight the attackers the attackers retreat and 1:24:58 and move out and from the perspective of the ukrainians it's like we won hey we won 1:25:03 we drove them off man we're great we're cool we're tough but they don't realize what's happening 1:25:09 that the force that they encountered was just probing probing and then pulling back 1:25:15 to surround the russians have been consistently 1:25:21 probing to establish the limits the contact lines around all these cities 1:25:28 that's their strategy it's very simple it's a very simple and very effective strategy at the same time 1:25:34 by pushing hard in the uh south um in the uh southeast 1:25:41 and at the same time pushing hard in the northeast they're cutting off a big chunk of the 1:25:46 ukrainian army in what's called it's a maneuver that the russians called the cauldron like 1:25:52 they called calling like a witch's cauldron you know they cover up the top okay and they're basically boxing in 1:26:00 something like 75 to 100 000 uh ukrainian soldiers they're boxing them in 1:26:06 the only thing that's sort of like left as an appendage is western ukraine and western ukraine is 1:26:13 first of all it's filled with ethnic ukrainians who dislike russians and that's part of the problem with ukraine 1:26:19 as a country because ukraine has a substantial uh russian ethnic russian minority a 1:26:25 substantial one i mean close to 50 and the uh ukrainian 1:26:30 ethnic ukrainian majority which is marginal i personally cannot tell the difference 1:26:36 between a ukrainian and uh and a russian an ethnic ukrainian and ethnic director and they look the same to me you know 1:26:44 but um but there are differences and the language is different and they consider themselves different people and they 1:26:49 don't like each other okay and they can tolerate each other and lots of them need to marry of course like you know 1:26:55 but um but they're not crazy about it now they don't want a political future together this this country 1:27:02 is is you know it's sort of like a a product of colonialism no different than 1:27:08 a lot of middle eastern countries or african countries where you have a lot of different ethnic groups that are shoved together haphazardly because the 1:27:15 the borders were established by the colonial powers way back when and so anyway the the thing about uh the 1:27:23 current invasion they've the russians have left uh western ukraine and what's very clear to me is that 1:27:30 once they have consolidated the eastern and central portions of 1:27:37 um ukraine uh the the russian army is going to pivot to the west and just drive forward 1:27:44 all the way to the polish border and they're going to do it slowly and take their sweet time uh because they're going to be just 1:27:50 shoving all of the people that they don't want the other way they will either be going westward pushing forward 1:27:57 and shoving them out through the funnel of ukraine out into 1:28:03 poland and all the soldiers and people who don't want to be 1:28:08 part of this new ukraine is are going to exit into poland and the eu and it'll be the eu's problem 1:28:14 and the russians will my thinking and this i think is it seems to me to be 1:28:20 reasonable the russians will probably split up ukraine into at least two countries possibly as many as four but at least 1:28:27 two uh there's gonna be eastern and southern uh ukraine you know odessa i mean if you 1:28:35 look at a map to your right hand side you're gonna see kharkov 1:28:40 kharkov um going south uh lugansk donetsk uh mario 1:28:46 paul and going on to kirsan and odessa that whole curve 1:28:51 it looks vaguely like a fat nike swoosh right that whole curve is going to go 1:28:57 and become its own country and perhaps part of russia perhaps a new country called nova rocia 1:29:04 but it's going to be a separate entity an ethnically russian majority ethnically russian 1:29:09 then the central uh rump of ukraine around kiev 1:29:14 and including perhaps nepal petrosk or maybe nepal patrols becomes a limit city 1:29:20 depends on factors that aren't important at this point that would become a separate entity and 1:29:26 the west the west of ukraine that becomes a third country or 1:29:32 it gets dangled in front of poland and becomes some sort of polish protectorate because the poles they have their eye on 1:29:37 lev lev is a historically very important city for the poles and they want it back 1:29:42 they've wanted it back since way back after the war they've been clamoring they clamored nikita khrushchev and and 1:29:48 brezhnev over libya they want libya back because they consider it their city for historical reasons that aren't really 1:29:55 important in this conversation the point is that they want it back and it could be that that part gets 1:30:02 chopped off and then you have like a like a separate you know hungarian part of ukraine and a 1:30:08 polish part of ukraine and they get shoved off to hungary and poland who knows i mean all those sorts of things 1:30:15 can happen and putin can be in the driver's seat insofar as that because he can dangle these uh territories in front of poland 1:30:22 and hungary and it would break nato because these countries hungary and 1:30:28 poland they would desperately want those territories and nato wouldn't want those countries 1:30:34 to have those territories because it would break discipline and so you'd have all kinds of internal 1:30:39 skirmishes and eventually would lead to these countries exiting nato and all of a sudden 1:30:46 nato is really really down on the ropes right so you know this seems to be the state 1:30:51 of play uh let me just check real soon real quick rather how many people whoa i got 6 500 of you [ __ ] listening to me 1:31:00 dude huh okay hit me with a plus one if my rantings and ravings uh make any kind of 1:31:07 [ __ ] sense to you [ __ ] huh hit me with a plus one if you like it 1:31:12 and hit me with a zero if you think it's awful that i don't know what i'm talking about 1:31:18 that i'm ranting

__ ] are masochists 1:31:36 okay hit me with a um if you want me to keep on going hit me 1:31:42 with a more please and if you want me to shut up just say s t fu 1:31:49 if you want more say more please in the comments and if you want me to 1:31:54 shut up just say stfu uh 1:32:00 whoa okay uh yeah 1:32:05 now i want to emphasize that yes before i go on with this [ __ ] right i want to emphasize something 1:32:12 see i'm not making any moral judgments as you can tell and i'm not uh casting aspersions on 1:32:18 anyone i think that the ukrainian people are a lovely people and a very brave people 1:32:25 and uh and they've shown themselves to be so i think their government the zanonski regime is despicable and i want 1:32:32 to explain now why i think that they're despicable i really despise them for actions that they've taken over the last 1:32:38 couple of days and i think that once you understand what they have done over the last couple of days you'll probably 1:32:43 agree with my assessment that they are despicable morally reprehensible i mean flat out evil as far as i'm concerned 1:32:49 and i'm gonna explain right now you see um 1:32:56 mechanized warfare or industrial warfare industrial warfare started with the 1:33:02 civil war in the united states the war of 1861 to 1865 was the first time that 1:33:09 uh the industrial revolution was applied to warfare and you had machine guns and you had all 1:33:15 kinds of industrial weaponry that were used and and the consequences were horrifying i mean the battle of 1:33:21 gettysburg i've been there i've been to gettysburg pennsylvania when i was a boy and i was shocked by the number of 1:33:27 headstones and and you know the sheer loss of life is incomprehensible 1:33:33 and so the civil war the american civil war was the first industrial war the second 1:33:39 great industrial war was of course the second the first world war the war of uh 1914 to 1918. 1:33:46 again you know trench warfare static endless barrages you know i mean it was 1:33:52 just horrifying no you see in industrial warfare it turns out that 1:33:58 you have to have a highly trained highly disciplined soldier to be 1:34:03 effective see because in industrial warfare a lot of things are happening at the same time 1:34:09 you have a noise that panics the vast majority of people the noise of it is just overwhelming 1:34:16 okay the bangs the shootings everything it just triggers every instinct to flee 1:34:22 you have to overcome a great deal of instinctive behavior to remain where you are in the middle of industrial warfare 1:34:30 okay now forget about actually using a weapon using a weapon it's a sophisticated piece of equipment even the simplest 1:34:37 weapon like an ak-47 which is exceedingly simple weapon that's the beauty of it 1:34:42 well it is complicated to use you have to be careful and the thing is see 1:34:48 using an ak-47 only is really effective not when a man uses it but when a team 1:34:54 uses it in the sense that each member of the team has his own ak-47 or whatever other weapon and they are operating as a 1:35:02 team supporting one another and protecting one another see these weapons are exceedingly dangerous 1:35:09 and if you are operating as a team say a platoon or a squad 1:35:14 well you can become extraordinarily effective an extraordinarily effective fighting force 1:35:20 but if you don't have that training you might know how to operate the weapon 1:35:25 but you can become a danger to yourself and to the people around you and you are certainly going to be a dead man if you 1:35:31 come across any professional soldier with the basic training necessary to operate 1:35:36 effectively at the squad level okay now suppose like some old fat far 1:35:43 some old fat [ __ ] fart like myself picked up an ak-47 and started wandering 1:35:50 around you know looking for ruskies to shoot right okay so i'm wandering around with my [ __ ] gun 1:35:56 my ak-47 you know some russian squad catches wind of me they see me they're gonna plug me 1:36:03 on the spot they're gonna shoot me right dead right there and then no questions asked of course 1:36:09 see because when these guys they turn when they turn their attention they turn their weapon at you too and they see you 1:36:15 with the gun they're going to shoot you of course right on the spot and there isn't going to be anything you 1:36:21 can do because you're not going to know how to defend yourself you'll be able to shoot back but you won't know how to 1:36:27 evade the oncoming fire you're going to be so freaked out by it i mean 1:36:34 you're when you hand out weapons like that willy-nilly to civilians 1:36:39 you are essentially creating a hazard for them those people who take these 1:36:44 weapons they're the ones who are going to get hurt they're going to die 1:36:50 and so the zelensky regime handed out as far as i understand like something like 10 000 aka 74s 1:36:58 uh let's say ak-74s are just advanced versions of the 47 same [ __ ] 1:37:03 thing basic rifle and they handed out 10 000 aka 74s and 1:37:08 munitions to match and you know they just gave them out they also um 1:37:15 i'll get to the conscription in just a second and so what happens with all these people who've got these guns they're 1:37:21 going to go out and they're going to think that they're they're brave and they've they're tough and they can stick up against the russian 1:37:28 a squad of russians of russian soldiers of russian you know trained russian soldiers even second tier soldiers well 1:37:35 those russian soldiers are going to cut these civilians down to pieces instantly i mean they won't even see it coming and 1:37:41 that's the thing because they're not going to be operating in a squad where the members of the squad would protect 1:37:47 one each other because they're going to be looking around now as one lone guy with no [ __ ] training wandering around with a gun 1:37:53 he's going to have blind spots you know basically two-thirds three-quarters of of of his 1:37:59 circumference he's gonna get wasted almost instantly right he's not going to know what hit him by the time he's dead 1:38:06 and so what's going to happen that's going to present a great photo op 1:38:11 now isn't it oh look the russians killed a civilian and then all of a sudden you realize 1:38:16 that that's the whole point of it that's why they're handing out the weapons to get civilians to get killed 1:38:23 for the photo op for the narrative i mean think of it 1:38:29 these [ __ ] are so evil that they are handing out weapons knowing that the people that take these 1:38:35 weapons are going to get shot almost instantly and killed so that they can have images of russian 1:38:42 atrocities against civilians that's why they are handing out the weapons 1:38:48 that's why they are teaching civilians how to make molotov cocktails 1:38:55 and encouraging them to do this irresponsible behavior they're going to get killed 1:39:00 and for no reason other than a photo op and why because the zelinski government the zlansky regime thinks that they can 1:39:08 use these photo ops to draw in the western powers to be on 1:39:14 the side of ukraine and fight the war that ukraine is losing and i'm sorry to say this for those 1:39:21 people who are pro-ukrainian who are ukrainian i have nothing but sympathy for your 1:39:26 situation i live in ukraine i'm married to ukrainian woman we have children that are ukrainian 1:39:33 i love ukrainian people they're lovely people they've always been incredibly kind to me and i've tried my hardest to 1:39:40 be as equally kind and and and as equally uh decent to them as they have been to me and it's always been just a 1:39:47 superb it's a superb country i mean i can live anywhere i want to i'm living here because i want to because i i think 1:39:55 ukraine is fantastic but that doesn't change the fact that they're losing the war and they're not 1:40:00 going to win it there's no way for them to win it the only way to win it is to draw in some of the western powers 1:40:07 and so the zelinski regime is trying to have what seemed to be russian committed 1:40:14 atrocities on camera on video on on film on you 1:40:19 know on digital film so they can show the world how evil the russians are and 1:40:24 convince emotionally blackmail the west into joining into this war 1:40:29 that's what's going on it's [ __ ] despicable the other thing that the zielinski 1:40:36 regime is doing and part of the reason for the flood of refugees 1:40:41 or not quite the flood of refugees leaving the country but certainly internal refugees 1:40:48 is that the zielinski regime is forcibly conscripting people 1:40:55 into the ukrainian army men between the ages of 18 and 60 1:41:00 started being forcibly conscripted into the armed forces 1:41:06 now i know this for a fact that they stop buses 1:41:11 and a policeman will get on and look for any man who looks between 18 and 60 grab 1:41:18 him pull him off the bus irrespective of whether he's married irrespective of whether he's a father 1:41:24 and responsible for children irrespective if he's a crippled old man and doesn't have what it takes to you 1:41:30 know carry a weapon or carry a bundle of of gear it doesn't matter they pull him off 1:41:36 and they forcibly stick him into the army i mean [ __ ] you know not even 1:41:43 [Music] keith woods pointed out that not even gaddafi uh did some [ __ ] like that and if he had 1:41:50 everybody would have been outraged at the grotesque violation of human rights because it is 1:41:55 i know two men professional men one's a lawyer one's a businessman both 1:42:01 of them reputable guys great guys i know them personally i know their wives i know their kids 1:42:08 i've gone drinking with them i've eaten with them i've done deals with them i know them 1:42:13 and they fled kiev why because they were terrified that they'd get picked up and forcibly 1:42:19 conscripted and these are professional men okay businessmen one is a businessman and one's a lawyer and i 1:42:25 know them personally i can tell you their first and last names and [ __ ] addresses man 1:42:32 i know them know them and they told me personally that that was why they were fleeing the city when the first one told 1:42:39 me this i was like what the [ __ ] man but when the second one told me i was like [ __ ] this is real 1:42:45 and that's why there are so many people fleeing the major cities because they are family men who are 1:42:51 fleeing the cities with their entire families because they don't want to leave their wives and children alone behind them while they run away of 1:42:58 course not they want to have their family near them and so they have been fleeing the cities 1:43:03 to go to any obscure corner of the country they can't cross out of the of 1:43:09 the country because if they do at the border they'll be picked up by the zielinski regime's police force 1:43:16 and pressed into the armed forces pressed like you know like like gang pressed like back in the days 1:43:24 you know in the 19th century in the 18th century when they would do this to press a a 1:43:30 a crew of sailors yeah the same kind of treatment man this is inhumane 1:43:35 and that's why you have so many people inside the country fleeing because of course the women of these 1:43:41 people that is their wives their mothers their sisters their daughters they don't want these men to go to the army 1:43:48 most of these men are incapable and incompetent for combat and i'm not putting them down in any way 1:43:54 i'm 53 i'm about to turn 54 in like two days right if i were to be conscripted into the 1:44:01 army i wouldn't last five seconds i mean like forget about the training of the [ __ ] you know i mean i'm out of 1:44:07 shape you know i've got a a broken ankle that never really healed because i'm old 1:44:13 you know i can't [ __ ] see i mean i need glass as thick as coke bottles man i'm uncoording dude i'm a danger if you 1:44:21 put a weapon in my hand i mean you want me to write a [ __ ] speech or some [ __ ] like that i'm aces right you want 1:44:27 me to rant and rave on a [ __ ] live stream with you [ __ ] i'm aces put a gun in my hand are you out of your 1:44:33 [ __ ] mind and it's not that i don't want to i mean if i were defending my country 1:44:38 against some foreign invader i would volunteer but anybody's saying would look at me and say 1:44:44 nice try gonzalo but you're not up for it you're not up for picking up a rifle and you know shooting 1:44:49 it at the enemy no you're good at other [ __ ] right we've all got our purpose in life but the point i'm trying to make 1:44:56 is that the zelinski regime is doing this but i i think i have to go back oh and 1:45:02 the other thing that they're doing which is really [ __ ] despicable oh man this is despicable 1:45:09 they are putting heavy weaponry among um the civilian population and 1:45:16 this is lots of people have pointed this out and all over the [ __ ] country they are putting howitzers between civilian 1:45:23 buildings now a howitzer is a heavy gun okay now howitzer the the great thing about 1:45:30 it is that you can put it anywhere it's like basically a big gun on a tripod right and it's a gun that's aimed like 1:45:35 that it's it's it's ballistic it goes like up and down and blows up so all 1:45:40 kinds of cool right but the thing is see the russians when they get wind that there's like a [ __ ] howitzer they 1:45:46 want to get rid of it they want to destroy it of course they do okay because they don't want to get hit by the [ __ ] howitzer now do they so they 1:45:53 try to hit it they they figure out more or less where the howitzer is and they start aiming their own weapons their own 1:45:58 howitzers perhaps and try to blow it up and of course see they they do a few 1:46:03 tries and they're gonna miss it's inevitable right and who are they gonna hit 1:46:09 they're gonna hit the [ __ ] apartment complexes full of civilians and all of a sudden the zelensky regime 1:46:14 is going to have a great photo op oh look at all the dead civilians killed by the [ __ ] russians see 1:46:20 see how it works see what the zelinski regime is doing they're deliberately putting civilians 1:46:26 in harm's way either by putting weapons in their hands that they are incapable of of competently handling 1:46:34 or else putting heavy weaponry in civilian population zones 1:46:40 so that the russians inadvertently will kill some civilian and it will lead to a 1:46:46 great photo op that will benefit the zelenski regime that is evil 1:46:54 it's as simple as that and i am in ukraine right now under the authority of the azalenski 1:47:00 regime a regime that consistently persecutes any criticism critic of it 1:47:07 and i am a foreigner in this country and i'm saying this publicly and i don't 1:47:14 give a [ __ ] who sees it and if the zelinski regime sees this and arrests me 1:47:19 and throws me god knows where well then you know and i don't give a [ __ ] because you have 1:47:25 to call out evil when you see it and this is [ __ ] evil simple as that and i don't give a [ __ ] what people 1:47:32 think you one cannot accept evil like this because it's evil 1:47:39 and i'm sorry if i sound uh whatever but it is wrong 1:47:44 i gotta ask chat i mean i see you you [ __ ] scrolling through right so let me ask you 1:47:50 do you think that putting weapons in the hands of civilians who are not capable and 1:47:56 putting heavy weaponry among civilian structures where they will potentially 1:48:01 be damaged or destroyed by uh incoming russian fire to suppress 1:48:07 these heavy weapons do you think that all of this in order to get a photo op 1:48:13 of dead civilians do you think that this is immoral hit one plus one if you think it is 1:48:20 wrong and evil and immoral and hit zero if you think it's perfectly fine and the 1:48:26 the uh zelensky regime has all the rights in the world to do this please do this plus one if you think it's evil 1:48:34 zero if you think it's perfectly fine i don't see any zeros so far 1:48:43 oh so some bloodthirsty [ __ ] and i'm gonna call you a bloodthirsty [ __ ] because that's what you are capital g 1:48:50 and ibrachio whatever yeah because it's evil and you have to call evil when you see it see 1:48:58 uh i'm i'm a great admirer of alexander solzhenitsyn uh he was a great man he's 1:49:04 a man of great moral fortitude and frankly he's he will i will never be half the man he ever was 1:49:12 but as the model of what to be he is my model and he always stood up and said 1:49:18 this is evil and you have to say when something is evil and this is 1:49:24 [ __ ] evil it's evil to deliberately put civilians at risk 1:49:31 so that you can get a my back yeah and no it wasn't the zelinski regime 1:49:37 clipping me it was just an accident on my [ __ ] phone but i'm sorry if i get 1:49:42 a little emotional on this issue i i have recognized over the last couple of days that i'm getting very emotional 1:49:48 because i'm extremely stressed out i'm not stressed out particularly for my own safety 1:49:54 i've thought to myself well it was about let me see now ten years ago actually it will be ten years ago tomorrow 1:50:01 that um i experienced the the great earthquake of chile in 2012. 1:50:07 it was an 8.8 earthquake and where i felt it it was only 8.6 but 1:50:13 the the one little problem tiny little problem that happened was that i experienced an 8.6 earthquake but i was 1:50:20 on the 15th floor of a building yeah i was in in my apartment it's a penthouse on the 15th 1:50:27 floor on kennedy avenue and uh dude the building shook like 1:50:33 dude like that whipped around okay the oscillation was at least three 1:50:38 meters from side to side it was unbelievable i couldn't stand up and i remember very clearly at that 1:50:44 moment thinking to myself you know this is the moment i can die this is this might be it the building 1:50:50 might collapse in this [ __ ] earthquake and that's that for me and i was at peace 1:50:55 and i've kept myself extremely lucky and since then i've never been particularly afraid of death 1:51:01 because um oh no by the way it was the 2010 not 2012. 1:51:07 getting old and forgetting [ __ ] but anyway i was not afraid of death not because i'm particularly brave i'm not 1:51:13 i'm very ordinary in that regard i'm a chicken [ __ ] little [ __ ] when i see a horror movie oh man i cover my eyes i 1:51:20 can't stand a horror movie but i was not afraid at that moment because i was fortunate enough to realize that i had 1:51:25 lived my life without regrets and i think that that's the thing that that happens to you when you are dying 1:51:32 you think about the things that you regret not having done there's nothing in my life that i have regretted in terms of not doing there's 1:51:39 certainly things i've done that i wish i hadn't done because they were stupid or they didn't work out 1:51:44 but never a regret of not having done something and i've lived my life that way in every 1:51:51 regard and when i see something as wrong as this 1:51:56 i can't do anything to change it but i can speak my mind about it in front of an audience i have quite an audience 1:52:03 right now i have the what um damn my glasses my eyesight is shot 6 1:52:08 200 people i can't [ __ ] believe you [ __ ] morons are listening to me man 1:52:13 it's a sunday you should be doing something better with your [ __ ] time anyway [ __ ] 1:52:19 i have the luck of having you fools listening to me so i'll tell you 1:52:24 this is evil simple as that to put people in harm's way 1:52:32 for a photo op so that you can say oh look at the russian atrocities and manipulate 1:52:39 people's perceptions of events for your benefit and what it'll cost is the lives of 1:52:46 innocent people innocent good-hearted people who will pick up a gun thinking that 1:52:52 they are doing good who will pick up a molotov cocktail thinking that they're doing good who will 1:52:58 nod along and cover up their years when the big howitzers start shooting arounds 1:53:05 so as to get a russian response that will kill them 1:53:10 it's [ __ ] evil man i'm sorry i mean quite apart from the zelinski you 1:53:16 know repressing his uh opponents and persecuting other opponents you know quite apart from that 1:53:22 you know the evil of putting innocent people at such danger 1:53:30 well no more chat 1:53:38 am i gone i i don't see any chat at all um 1:53:45 well it says that i still have 6200 people oh there's the chat there you guys came 1:53:53 back i thought i thought i got clipped i got i thought that uh youtube decided to 1:53:58 kill me um maybe because of my language you know we don't like hate speech 1:54:06 [ __ ] bastards you know you you point out evil 1:54:11 and you you condemn it with the strongest language possible and and they silence your message of 1:54:19 condemnation of this evil because you use hate speech 1:54:25 bastards bastards simple as that 1:54:31 anyway as i was saying i'm a little bit frazzled over the last couple of days i know that i'm over emotional because i'm 1:54:37 scared not scared for myself as i said uh i mean i've been through worse and like i said 1:54:44 when i discussed my experience with the earthquake i'm at peace with myself and so far as 1:54:49 everything that i have lived i don't have any regrets uh and i don't regret not having done 1:54:56 anything and none of the things i did caused any other person harm and the things i regret having done 1:55:03 either caused harm to myself or just were things that you know didn't work out but you know nothing major you 1:55:09 know what i mean um and so the point is to see i'm not afraid for myself 1:55:14 i'm terrified for my children i'm terrified for them and i am deeply 1:55:20 deeply unhappy uh it's beyond unhappiness it's i'm not 1:55:26 it's not depression it's just i want to tear my hair out because my 1:55:33 by circumstances just trivial bad luck i came to kiev right when the invasion 1:55:39 started and my children are in kharkov and my children my son is going to turn 1:55:46 seven in a couple of weeks and my daughter in june is turning nine 1:55:52 and i love them deeply i love them with all my heart and i so 1:55:57 i i i'm so upset and angry and just tear wanting to tear my hair out that i can't 1:56:02 be with them during this period because see it's not an issue of me 1:56:08 being with them that it it's certainly for me emotionally it's important to be able to see my kids to 1:56:14 know that they're all right but i recognize that small children they need to see their father 1:56:20 and it's not that talking to him or anything like that it's just knowing that he's there knowing that that the old man their 1:56:27 daddy is right there and the thing happens the daddy's there and 1:56:32 99.99 of the time the father is not necessary okay but it's just that feeling of 1:56:38 security and i know the fact that they are experiencing this without me is causing 1:56:44 them damage and it weighs on me very very much i'll tell you that and the weight of it 1:56:51 the weight of it has led me to go a little bit around the bend you know i'm i'm just deeply deeply troubled by it 1:56:59 and i recognize that there's nothing i can do i was discussing this situation with a good friend of mine dr benway if you 1:57:06 recall he's my old podcasting partner he's a great guy and um 1:57:11 and we were discussing the different options and he's a very analytical guy and i trust his judgment it's an 1:57:17 extremely good judgment even when i disagree with him his reasons are always very compelling he's a very smart man 1:57:24 and we were discussing my situation and we went through all the options and i 1:57:30 always i went through even the nutty options of how i could get to kharkov but in the end none of them were 1:57:35 particularly effective the only really effective solution was to wait out this whole war 1:57:42 and uh once the dust had settled one way or the other only then 1:57:48 go back to kharkov and in a realistic sense there is nothing to be done except to wait 1:57:53 and um i'm very lucky that my children in kharkov are 1:57:59 safe and sound and where they are located is perfectly safe and they'll be 1:58:04 perfectly fine i know that they're in the best shape i've seen video evidence and i thank god 1:58:11 that there is still communications internet cell phone because um 1:58:17 i can see pictures of them i know that they're okay and i think to myself that if such 1:58:23 technology did not exist or it had been interrupted the gnawing fear 1:58:28 this morning i woke up bright and early and i sent some text messages 1:58:34 to see if my children were okay and um 1:58:40 you know it took a while to get a reply and that wait which was only a few minutes it was 1:58:46 actually like less than four minutes three or four minutes but the weight of it just that short 1:58:52 time of waiting it it was it was horrible i mean i will 1:58:58 tell you honestly and and nakedly without any kind of 1:59:03 you know with any kind of pretense of bravery those three to four minutes were 1:59:09 horrible waiting for the reply you know 1:59:15 and i was terrified because i sent the message the sms and you know like on on the the apple 1:59:22 app when you send a message right it says delivered underneath right but i sent the message and nothing 1:59:29 appeared underneath and i started getting paranoid as to you know what horrible thing might have 1:59:34 happened to them you know and that kind of uncertainty just gnaws at 1:59:41 your soul and of course my own situation is 1:59:47 exceedingly common you know i'm not so arrogant as to think i'm particularly special in that regard 1:59:52 there are literally millions of people who are experiencing the exact same thing in ukraine 1:59:58 and the situation the fear that all these people are experiencing 2:00:05 this fear that's befallen them it could have been avoided 2:00:12 most definitely the misery that all of the people in ukraine are experiencing not in terms of 2:00:19 worried about getting shot no worried that the people they love 2:00:24 got shot that the people they love their children their brothers their 2:00:30 spouses their parents worried that they got shot that they had 2:00:36 some random round of god knows what blow up their building 2:00:44 and all of it could have been avoided it could have been avoided but certain greedy people 2:00:51 in the west wanted to just [ __ ] with russia so they could get their way sometimes 2:00:58 for exceedingly egotistical and and just 2:01:04 arrogant reasons and other people were fool enough to 2:01:10 believe in the empty promises of the west and well here we are 2:01:18 vladimir putin on the day of the invasion gave an exceedingly important speech 2:01:24 the empire of lies speech i think it is one of the most important political speeches in the last half 2:01:30 century frankly i i can't often think of a speech as important of that as that one 2:01:36 and i'm not kidding and i'm not being hyperbolic and i've thought about it over the last three days and i've read the speech 2:01:42 repeatedly and i would suggest you read it there are versions of it in different sources 2:01:48 all you have to do is is just uh go to the kremlin website and uh the kremlin youtube channel 2:01:54 rather and you'll find that speech it's vladimir putin in his office and it's the empire of lies speech he calls 2:02:02 the united states the empire of lies and he's right 2:02:07 and it's that empire of lies that has led us to this situation and we have a potentially catastrophic 2:02:15 war about to unfold across the globe now i'm not going to speculate as to 2:02:21 what might happen i've been going on for nearly two hours and i'm tired and i 2:02:26 want to get some sleep i'm gonna it's gonna take me a while to unwind from this you know 2:02:33 um this rant that i've been going on but i just wanted to tell you that 2:02:39 the war that's going on it's all 2:02:44 connected you see the canadian truckers the um 2:02:51 the russians invading ukraine the um 2:02:56 horrifying things going on with the transgender and all that and that kind of just bizarre 2:03:02 you know uh manipulation of people's bodies in the most grotesque way imaginable 2:03:08 all of these things are connected and we are seeing increasingly that there are two camps 2:03:14 one is decadent and degenerate it is 2:03:20 a mentality an ideology that believes in fantasies and storytelling and not 2:03:25 reality and glorifies decadence degeneracy 2:03:30 infanticide it's disgusting and despicable as far as i'm concerned 2:03:35 and then there's the other side that glorifies beauty and wholesomeness 2:03:42 it's a sign that i'm a part of because i look at the degeneracy and 2:03:49 decadence the the insane permissiveness 2:03:54 the the the degradation of the human spirit 2:04:01 the belief that human beings are not individuals of value 2:04:07 but rather cogs replaceable cogs of a machine 2:04:15 people criticize organizations like the world economic forum for having some grand master plan for world domination 2:04:21 or some nonsense like that i don't criticize them for that i don't criticize them for the will to power 2:04:26 that's perfectly normal all human beings have that desire to control 2:04:32 and to have power over others and of themselves of course that's normal that doesn't bother me what does bother me 2:04:39 is that they approach people as cogs 2:04:45 fungible cogs identical one to the other and completely divorced from any kind of 2:04:51 rootedness in human connections they don't consider the human spirit 2:04:59 they look at love as mere lust they don't understand 2:05:05 human connection they don't believe in human connection they believe that people 2:05:10 rather than having deep rooted human connections to one another are really circuits that can be 2:05:16 pulled apart and put back together again like legos they believe in the lego model of people 2:05:23 where all the people are exactly the same only their colors are different 2:05:28 but they are structurally exactly the same and they snap together and they can be broken apart and put into different 2:05:35 shapes no rootedness it's not organic 2:05:42 it's not wholesome they believe in fantasies and stories and i look through social media and i 2:05:50 hear all their rantings and ravings and stories that have no no correspondence to reality 2:05:58 and i find it disgusting and despicable because it's just an empire of lies 2:06:07 i want no part of such a world i want to be a part of a wholesome 2:06:12 [Music] world that seeks beauty and truth 2:06:18 and wholesomeness and seeks to create a world where 2:06:24 our children grow healthy and happy confident in who they are 2:06:30 secure in the love of the people around them that's the kind of world that i want to 2:06:35 be a part of i want no part of this disgusting decadent degenerate 2:06:43 regime that is being forcibly imposed on me and 2:06:49 the rest of the world i think it's repulsive and decadent and horrifying 2:06:56 and i hate it most of all because it is filled with lies and it knows no such thing as love 2:07:07 and that's all i have to say
