00:00Israel is a criminal state and Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal by any definition.
00:10They can't cap the Russian oil price.
00:12And Russia has been selling oil, petroleum gas to India, China, to so many other countries.
00:18Will Trump fund the equal amount or more than what Biden funded to Ukraine and Zelensky?
00:23When I was in Moscow, so the expectation that was in September, and I was speaking at the
00:28Russian International Affairs Council, Europe no longer has the stomach to continue this
00:32war.
00:33France, Germany, they all want to end this war, because it's not going anywhere.
00:39They are the losers in this.
00:40Trump said that on the first day of joining office, he will take a few decisions in which
00:45Russia-Ukraine war is included.
00:48He says that he will end the conflict on the first day, such a huge conflict, which is
00:52happening since so long.
00:54And we have seen that Biden administration has given billions of money to Zelensky and
00:59Ukraine to fight against Russia.
01:01Now, what do you think, keeping in mind Putin and Trump's relations, maybe an internal relation,
01:08what's going to be Trump's take on the Russia-Ukraine war and will he stop it like people are saying
01:14he stopped the Israel-Hamas war, will he stop the Russia-Ukraine war?
01:17It is not possible to end the Ukraine war like the one in Hamas.
01:22Even in Hamas and Israel, they have come to an agreement, it's going to be implemented
01:27over five months.
01:29And even after the deal was announced, Israel continued to kill people and the very day
01:35they killed more than 200 people.
01:37Israel is a criminal state and Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal by any definition.
01:42You know, there are few countries outside the West who would disagree with that.
01:46It's not a personal opinion of mine.
01:47There have been other Israeli prime ministers, but none of them have a record like this.
01:52You know, there are somebody other war criminals who are there like Ariel Sharon and all that
01:56in the past.
01:57And even Western foreign ministers have called them out.
02:00So this is not something that I am saying alone or out of the top of my head.
02:05So in Ukraine, there is no way that the West can win.
02:09They have put billions of dollars into Ukraine, billions of dollars.
02:13And who is hit?
02:15The only country which has profited from the war is the U.S. and the U.S. economy.
02:21They have made suckers of the Europeans who are all buying American oil at ten times the
02:27price at which they were getting it from Russia.
02:31I traveled to Russia three months ago in September.
02:34So it is not really under sanctions.
02:37Russia is flourishing.
02:38The Russian economy is flourishing.
02:41And of course, that party also may end.
02:45But right now, Russia is not kind of squeezed.
02:48The countries which are squeezed by sanctions are the European countries.
02:52It is Europe which is facing a deep crisis, and they are in a funk because now they can't
02:58cap the Russian oil price.
03:00And Russia has been selling oil, petroleum, gas to India, China, to so many other countries.
03:06So Ukraine is an unwinnable war for the U.S. and the NATO.
03:12And Trump, actually, the last time he said that NATO should not go to Ukraine.
03:17Actually, there are many American statements, including somebody like Henry Kissinger.
03:23Actually, when Henry Kissinger died, Rolling Stone magazine said a war criminal who was
03:27called a diplomat and won the Nobel Prize.
03:30Henry Kissinger also said that we have to give Russia time to become a democracy.
03:36NATO, if it cannot go eastwards.
03:39And there have been other U.S. diplomats and analysts and all who have said this.
03:43But after the U.S. plunged into the war, it was practically a war between U.S. and Russia
03:48being fought in Ukraine by the Ukrainians.
03:51You know, there have been so many American advisors, logistics, all these people have
03:55been involved.
03:56They've all been identified and so on.
03:58So that being the case, Trump will end that war because it is an unwinnable war.
04:05Trump is not against U.S. supremacy.
04:09He would like to maintain the U.S. supremacy worldwide.
04:13But he does not want it to be at the cost of the U.S.
04:17And he knows the Ukraine war cannot go on without money from the U.S. and this thing.
04:22And he would like the U.S. to get out of it.
04:25So now, from your answer, I want to ask you two questions.
04:29One, is Trump playing NATO by benefiting U.S.?
04:33And second, will Trump fund the equal amount or more than what Biden funded to Ukraine
04:38and Zelensky?
04:39No, he won't be able to fund Ukraine to the extent that Biden did.
04:44Because Biden did it over such a long time.
04:46And when I was in Moscow, the expectation that was in September, and I was speaking
04:52at the Russian International Affairs Council and people I spoke to, and their expectation
04:57was that in spring this year, by spring this year, we might begin to see at least a roadmap
05:04towards ending the war.
05:05So I said, why do they say that?
05:06And they said, no, Trump is likely to win the election.
05:10And if he wins the election, he might want to kind of first, you know, draw down the
05:15war and the U.S. involvement in it, because Europe no longer has the stomach to continue
05:22this war.
05:23France, Germany, they all want to end this war, because it's not going anywhere.
05:28They are the losers in this, you know.
05:31Sir, what I wanted to ask, like a soft beat question, that what do you think, who is Trump's
05:36favorite in NATO countries?
05:39In which country?
05:40In the NATO country?
05:41Well, I don't think the U.S. has any favorites or friends or allies.
05:46Trump's preference, maybe?
05:48Trump, I think they have favorites, but they are not in government.
05:53Maybe Melania, Italy, maybe.
05:55Yes, because he had cheered her, you know, when she was in the election.
06:00Similarly, there was a Spanish fascist party again, right-wing party, extremely right-wing.
06:05He was supporting them.
06:06So Trump has supported right-wing forces in Europe, but not in Germany.
06:12In Italy, yes.
06:13He's definitely not comfortable with Macron.
06:15Macron is too cerebral.
06:16He's not very comfortable with Macron.
06:19Even Melanie doesn't seem so comfortable with Macron sometimes.
06:22We have seen videos flourishing where Melanie gives looks to Macron.
06:27So, yeah, it kind of makes sense that Melanie and Trump both are not fond of Macron.
06:32Yes, you are right.
06:33And you can see why Trump, one can say, Musk is his mouthpiece or his forerunner.
06:40So the U.S. has now taken to an active role in shaping European affairs.
06:46U.S. has always interfered in elections in Europe and in management of the political
06:51color of the government.
06:52And they are going to do it more openly now.
06:55And not only as the U.S. deep state was doing it, but everybody is going to play on this
07:01stuff.
07:02After all, one should remember that Europe is American territory in one sense.
07:07Because they have military bases.
07:10All these NATO countries, they are flourishing as U.S. military.
07:13You land at Frankfurt Airport or the railway station, you will find so many counters at
07:18the railway station, U.S. forces, armed forces, you know, that kind of thing.
07:23Oh, okay.
07:23Yeah.
