00:00It is May 1st, 2025, and Trump is shaking things up as it's being reported that Mike
00:07Walz is out as his national security advisor. Now, the latest reports, which notably came out
00:14right after I just did this interview that I'm about to toss to, they're now saying that Walz
00:20is going to be Trump's new U.S. ambassador to the U.N. and that Secretary of State Marco Rubio
00:27is also going to be acting national security advisor, at least for now. Previous reports
00:33from earlier today had said that Trump's Middle East envoy, Steve Wyckoff, was the one that they
00:39were looking at as the possible new NSA. Now it's changed to reports saying that it's going to be
00:46Rubio. So we'll be keeping an eye on that. And we did get into it in this conversation,
00:51whether any of this matters, right? The changing titles, Trump, you know, putting more weight
00:57on someone like Wyckoff who wants to pursue more of a deal. Well, now you have him giving Rubio yet
01:03another job, despite the fact that Rubio has been one of the people at the forefront pushing for the
01:11U.S. to potentially put more pressure on Russia, which is the exact same thing that Mike Walz was
01:17doing. What does it all mean in the grand scheme of things? And where does the war in Ukraine currently
01:22stand? And how does Russia see all of this? And how does it see the current talks that are ongoing?
01:28We got into all of that with a special guest earlier. So let's take a listen to that conversation
01:34now. Joining me now to discuss is Andrey Martianov, a veteran author and Russian military expert.
01:42Andrey, thanks so much for taking the time to join me.
01:44My pleasure. Always.
01:47I'm glad I get to talk to you today. I know that there is a lot going on. And I want to start off
01:52with the breaking news. The reports we have so far, it's not confirmed by the Trump administration
01:57yet, but saying that Mike Walz is out as Trump's national security advisor and that he could be
02:04replaced by the current Middle East envoy Steve Whitcoff after Walz added the editor-in-chief of The
02:10Atlantic into a signal chat group discussing plans to bomb Yemen. Now, what I think is interesting
02:16about these reports is that we know that Mike Walz is one of the guys in the camp of, we need to put
02:23more sanctions on Russia, put the pressure on Russia, try to quote unquote, force them to the negotiating
02:28table. Whereas Steve Whitcoff is the guy who has spent hours meeting with Russian President Putin. He's
02:34saying, hey, let's try to pursue a deal. Let's try to work with Russia instead of doing more of what
02:40Biden just did. So what's your reaction to this news that Walz could be on his way out?
02:46Absolutely natural, actually. He is, as you correctly stated, he's a warmonger. He's very militarily
02:54incompetent despite his all those credentials, you know, like special forces and things like that.
03:00The guy is a warmonger. He's not very bright. And he is from the same cesspool of Rumsfeld,
03:07Cheney, all those warmongers, criminal war criminals. So, and when we talk about the leaks,
03:14that's most likely, I will go out on only my video actually, which is coming up very shortly,
03:20is that he was the guy who was producing those leaks. He is in the same leak as Kellogg,
03:27the person who is absolutely lost and confused about their America's real status in the world.
03:33He doesn't understand modern war. And so he doesn't understand even American armed forces,
03:41essentially. So he is this, you know, creep and, you know, the, so to speak,
03:47new con animal, which probably was trying to sabotage things. And he was and his people were
03:54providing those leaks, I guess, you know, into the media. And what can I say? Good riddance,
04:00you know, and, but then again, you know, keep in mind, this is Trump's method, or we'll say lack
04:08thereof. He creates chaos, and he's not good at actually handling it. And so in many respects,
04:16we have the repetition of his first term, but yes, this time we have this teddy bear type guy,
04:21which is definitely not a moron, unlike Waltz, you know, and he is obviously now established himself
04:29as the goal between Trump and Putin in person. He's a messenger. It doesn't mean that he will be a
04:36great national security advisor, but at least he understands what is going on in Moscow to a certain
04:41degree, which Trump administration does not. If it would be up to me, of course, the first man who
04:48would be his national security advisor would be Colonel Douglas MacGregor. And he knows him personally,
04:54but of course, he was bypassed by Trump administration, because it is still infested
05:00and infected with neocons. Yeah, it's frustrating to watch the Trump administration, because as you're
05:05noting there, there's so much potential in some cases, right? In some cases, to either do the right
05:12thing or to at least try to handle things with Russia. As Wyckoff, I will say, he seems like he's
05:17trying to handle them trying to prevent World War Three, being vocal about, hey, these are Russia's
05:23demands. Maybe we should listen to them a little bit. But at the same time, you also have reports
05:29that Trump just approved his first shipment of American military equipment to Ukraine since taking
05:35office for his second term after Washington and Kiev signed a deal that is, I guess, meant to give the
05:42U.S. access to Ukraine's rare earth minerals or as much as they can find of them, right? Well, this,
05:48despite the fact that the Trump administration has admitted that there is no, quote unquote,
05:52defeating Russia on the battlefield. So how do you see this move? Trump keeps getting more and more
05:59involved in support for Kiev in this proxy war against Russia, even though he knows that there's
06:05not going to be any kind of victory here. Well, he is not very well read man. He's not very
06:11sophisticated culture. Let's not mistake. I mean, he's not stupid, but he's probably street smart
06:16type guy from the New York Scheister primary fraudulent real estate market. He has zero clue about
06:26military. He has zero clue about history. And yeah, so yeah, he will ship whatever is left. And this is
06:33his war now. So period. And Trump administration failed miserably. And what can I say? He will
06:41actually destroy further already destroyed reputation of the American military and its
06:47equipment, which is what, frankly, is utterly inferior and is not designed to fight in the
06:54modern battlefield. So yeah, it's his war. Let him do what he does. Russians don't care.
07:00They will continue to kill as many, whatever he tries to throw at them. But again, the fact that
07:06Whitkoff becomes his national security advisor changes nothing because in the end his administration
07:11is in the huge debt for such people as Miriam Adelson and donor class. And donor class wants
07:19war not because they are good at war. Americans are not that good at war, okay? I mean, United States
07:26military, despite the fact of them propagating themselves and selling themselves as the Obama
07:31force and finest fighting force in history. After that Zhukov and Manstein started spinning in their
07:38graves, you know, after that statement, Napoleon was also really insulted. So, and you look at that,
07:45it's just like, sure, what else? So the guy proved himself absolutely important. Economically, it's a chaos
07:55for the United States. And I don't think he knows what he's doing. I mean, he's just providing this,
08:02you know, what the soap opera of the activity, if you wish. Not soap opera. So we really literally
08:07soap bubbles. He just creates those bubbles. And he believes in many things he does, you know,
08:14because lack of cultural sophistication, lack of the understanding of the America's real status
08:20in the world. So yeah, special military operation continues. And Ukraine will be annihilated. And,
08:28you know, the Kyiv regime will be gone. Well, Trump made the choice. So what can I say?
08:34Yeah, this could have been, you know, quote unquote, Biden's war. He could have
08:39done everything in his power to leave it at that. And it makes me wonder too, sometimes I don't think
08:45that he has too many people in his ear telling him the reality of things, right? He has people in his
08:50ear telling him, yeah, America's the greatest, right? We're the best. We can do whatever we want.
08:54But how many people does he have who are looking at this situation and going, hey, maybe we should
09:00take these talks with Russia a little bit more seriously, or maybe we should pull out all together
09:04before things get a lot worse. Now on the topic of that deal, I do want to ask you about that because,
09:11okay, so we have what is branded as a minerals deal where a portion of the proceeds will go into this
09:17newly established United States-Ukraine reconstruction investment fund. And now reports do say that
09:24Kiev isn't getting the quote unquote security guarantees that it wanted. But how do you view
09:30this deal? I mean, does it have any effect on the conflict or even on how Russia is viewing the US
09:37right now? No, no effect whatsoever. It is, again, as I stated, it's like this bubbles of soap, you know,
09:44to create the impression of some kind of activity and some kind of achievements. Listen, the guy started
09:53celebrating 100th day of his administration, the MAGA crowd. I mean, what the hell is that? I mean,
10:01he loves parties. Okay, so nothing wrong with that, I mean, per se, but I mean, celebrate what?
10:09What did you accomplish in the last 100 days? I mean, so, and for now, it's just all basically,
10:15you know, the cadre decisions. Move one pawn from one place to another and no effect whatsoever. So in
10:23this case, it's disagreement is just a worthless piece of paper because Russians don't care. You know,
10:28they don't care about it. Well, if Mr. Trump wants to fight Russia, good luck for the US army. I don't
10:34think so. I don't think it will survive long if it was able even to deploy. So yeah, the guy is
10:42living in alternative universe. It really does feel like that sometimes. Yeah, it makes me wonder. I'm
10:48going, okay, you are talking about all of these rare earth minerals, ignoring just how much of those
10:54natural resources are under Russian control. And yeah, you can make a deal with Kiev all you want
10:59to, but that deal needs to be with Russia if there's... Yeah, sure. Listen, I, in my video,
11:06which is coming up shortly after we finish with this, actually, I want to open the concession or the
11:15corporation of selling real estate on Mars. Why not? I will give me the money, you will get, you know,
11:24piece of Mars. And there are, you know, what type of the Ponzi schemes like, they're not Ponzi. I mean,
11:30the schemes like that, which have been implemented before. So why not? Hey, for all I care, I can sell
11:36Saturn, you know, and so, but give me the money, you know. So, and this is exactly the same thing. This is so
11:44like, my gosh, I sometimes I'm lost for words in terms of describing what is happening. This is the
11:54guy who just, he lost the war, naval war in the, what is called Operation Prosperity Guardian, and US Navy
12:01can do nothing literally to unblock the Red Sea and the Suez Canal. And this is the mightiest navy in the
12:11world, you know, together with the allies. And you look at this, this is good lord, somebody tell him that
12:17it's, it's 2025.
12:20Yeah, it's crazy to me to watch the US still bombing Yemen and acting like they're going to accomplish
12:26something. It's like you could have at least learned from what Biden did, and proceeded differently. But of
12:32course, like you said, they are beholden to the donor class to the Miriam Adelson's of the world. And when Netanyahu
12:39is sitting there saying, oh, we need you to bomb Yemen.
12:41Yeah, so they bombed Yemen and, well, Netanyahu is not such good of a military man himself. And
12:49Israeli Defense Force obviously proved itself to be very capable of killing very many defenseless
12:55people, that's for sure. But I mean, it's just unbelievable. It's just a mess. But you know what,
13:03it's the, these are convulsions of the dying civilization, which is the Western civilization.
13:09It reached its apex before the World War II. And after that, you know, the United States came to
13:17kind of extend its agony for about 70 years after World War II because the United States not only have
13:25been spared, but profited greatly from that. And this time ran out.
13:29Yeah, you look back and I know we're coming up on the 80th anniversary of Victory Day and kind of
13:36looking at how things have changed and shifted since then. And I do want to bring up the position
13:42that Russia is in on the battlefield because I know, you know, we've gone through winter,
13:46kind of the mud season. Now we're on the cusp of really seeing hopefully some changes on the battlefield.
13:54How do you view the position that Russia is in right now in terms of the
13:58offensives that it is working on on the front lines and what that could mean for this overall war?
14:04Oh, it's, listen, let's face it. We already have approximate ratio, which is stunning,
14:141 to 22. For each Russian soldier who has died, who has been killed, 22 Ukrainian soldiers are dead.
14:23And including people from NATO. It's a NATO force. It was utterly defeated. It fights now with
14:3016-year-old female battalions. And they're going to be already, you know, stealing people
14:38from the streets, which are 60-plus years old. And so, as you might expect, what kind of the force is that?
14:44I mean, the NATO concept of war is pathetic. It's really, I don't know even how to describe it.
14:52It's just, again, alternative military science, if you wish. So, and don't forget that Russians are
14:59already in Sumy Oblast, deep into Sumy Oblast. They are around Yunakovka, so Sumy, the city of Sumy is next.
15:06So, Russians are already in Harika Oblast and deep into Harika Oblast. And for the first time,
15:12we have the official confirmation that not just DRGs, diversionary recon groups, but actually
15:18formations of Russians are already on the right bank, which is the Western Bank of Dnieper.
15:24So, Russian steamrollers will continue to steamroll. It's not about Ukraine. Ukraine is a virtual state.
15:31Mr. Medvedev and, you know, many top Russian officials already confirmed the regime in Kyiv will be destroyed.
15:40And at this stage, as it was the last three years, it is about demilitarizing NATO.
15:47If Trump wants to continue to supply whatever United States being, I mean, just outproduced by Russia,
15:55by order of magnitude in every single, you know, system. So, yeah, he can continue to do that.
16:01But eventually, the United States will run out of their armor stocks. And the United States has,
16:07first, it doesn't have technology which will change anything there even. But secondly, it simply doesn't
16:12have enough of it to start with. Because evidently, we do not know the actual,
16:17Russian general staff obviously does know. And people who need to know, they know this.
16:25But how much is left on the bottom? I can tell you one thing. They can supply another 20,
16:33let's say, patriots. Guess what? They will be gone within a month. But the United States doesn't have
16:40those to spare anymore. So what did they have? They kind of continue to, you know, ship all those
16:46remnants or whatever they have. And it doesn't matter. Even armor, I mean, shells. There's not
16:52much artillery left in. So you can even sell, you know, send shells. But the problem with them,
16:58one of the reasons why they went for the drones, because this is what they have only. They bring them,
17:033D print them on and near the front line and launch them. Because that's the only thing which is left.
17:10They don't have substantial artillery, which makes, in terms of the long-range fires, any difference.
17:16And when you look at this, like today, terrorist act against Alashki, the village on the market,
17:23they sent five drones and killed civilians. This is what they do. So yeah, that's Trump administration.
17:29That he supports terrorists. That's fine. You know, so Russians said, you know, yeah, it's good. So we're ready.
17:35Yeah, you can always tell how Kiev and I guess the US too feel about the situation on the battlefield
17:42when it comes to these additional terrorist attacks that they're carrying out. Because it's like,
17:46none of these have any military aims. It's just about trying to bring more suffering to the Russian
17:52people. Now, when it comes to-
17:54And PR. It's PR. It's PR.
17:56PR is to sell this to political class.
18:01Right. And in the media to make it look like, oh, look, Kiev's doing something. And I mean,
18:06here in the West, it's interesting to me because I'll read these reports and they're complaining
18:12about the way that Russia is handling these talks saying, oh, Russia's demands are too strict,
18:17right? Oh, they're asking for too much in order to make a deal. But when you look at the demands
18:23that Russia is making and the place that Russia currently holds in this war and the fact that,
18:29as you're noting there, NATO isn't doing anything to change its position. It's just throwing the rest of
18:35the ammo and the rest of the different things that it has at this war currently. But it's not really
18:42learning and evolving and changing from it in the way that Russia has. So how do you look at the demands
18:48that Russia is presenting and the fact that it is actively engaging in talks while at the same time
18:54still continuing on the battlefield?
18:56No, it's very simple. Essentially, Lavrov reiterated, Mr. Lavrov, this is not Mr. Marciano sitting here,
19:04you know, inventing things, you know. No, this is the Foreign Minister of the Foreign Affairs of Russia,
19:09very close ally of Mr. Putin and permanent member of the Russian Security Council.
19:15He goes out three days ago in Global or Global in Brazil, in his interview at the BRICS summit,
19:22and he tells it as it is, it is essentially back to what December 21, 2021, I mean, and this is like,
19:31here are the root causes, deal with it. Not? Well, we continue. So as simple as that. Take it a little bit.
19:38I mean, this hasn't changed. And people still do not understand. And that is why Mr. Pispolf already,
19:45probably. I'm actually kind of sympathize with him because he has to come out constantly and say,
19:52like he said, this week, I believe Monday, he repeated it. He repeats it ad nauseum. Don't read,
20:00follow those media. Follow just primary sources. What they sell you essentially, I'm almost quoting him,
20:08is not, has nothing to do with reality. But then again, what is the Western journalism today?
20:15Primarily, half of them could be charged as the war criminals. I mean, there's very easy to charge.
20:20You saw yourself this stupid bimbo Brennan, whatever. She tried to play with Lavrov. Boy,
20:27she's stupid, good lord. And not only they're stupid, they, as I already stated, many of them could be
20:34charged with the war crimes and crimes against humanity because there is nothing more than
20:39Goebbelsonian machine of the propaganda. And they will sell their children for story. So when they don't
20:46have story, well, guess what? They go out and, pardon my French, pull it out of their ass. And they sell
20:52this garbage. They go out, take interviews from their imbeciles like Kellogg or this Waltz or whoever,
20:59or look for those leaks. And they don't understand basic things about military, about your politics,
21:06history, let alone the technology. And you have this combination of people who rush to this
21:13establishment media because it's a good pay, you know. And they prostitute themselves there.
21:18And that's what they do. And as a result, you have this, as I already stated, soap opera. They create
21:24this imaginary world of, you know, something which, I don't know, some things they come up with is just
21:32like defies any logic, let alone their serious knowledge of their material, tangible things in the
21:37world, you know. And then you get people, obviously completely confused, but that's what they do.
21:44They are there not to inform. They are there not to teach. They are there to manipulate and brainwash,
21:52frankly. They brainwash. Look what happened in Spain and Portugal. They wanted their Teslas,
22:00let them enjoy it. And that will continue. Because now they cannot restore the energy infrastructure,
22:06which has to be required from the first world. They wanted their green agenda, enjoy it. And people
22:13say, oh, you have shot in Florida. No, I don't. I emphasize with people. But you know what? They
22:19voted for this. They wanted it. They allowed to be manipulated. So, and it would have been understood,
22:27like in 1925, when they would read something like Single El País. We live in the world where you can go
22:35out into worldwide web and get all necessary information to make up your mind. But no. So,
22:44you just saw yourself what happened in Spain and they don't have enough guts to, well, everybody knows
22:49they admitted that. It's like with this pilot, this feminist, you know, who killed 67 people. They
22:58wanted to make the hero out of her. Well, guess what? She defied their orders because, oh yeah, what can
23:06possibly those men know? And they told her to turn left, get the hell out of the path of the passenger
23:13plane? No, she knows better, but she kills 67 people. It's unbelievable. If that, we live in the
23:22age in the combined West of the utter share in competence. We have people, Mr. Trump, look at him.
23:31Yeah, he's a great example of it as well. And I'm right there with you when you bring up the fact that,
23:38look, we have access to more information than any other civilization in history, right? We have access
23:45to those first person sources. You can look up and see what Peskov said or what Putin or Lavrov said.
23:52Even if you absolutely hate Russia and you want to believe that they are losing this war,
23:56you can still go and listen to them in the same way that vice versa, you can listen to Zelensky and all of
24:01his advisors. And when I look at the situation, I know for the US, the propaganda war is very
24:08important to them, right? Which is why as you were breaking it down there, they have the media that
24:12they do because that is what drives this propaganda war. When it comes to the position that Russia is
24:20currently in and how the Trump administration is handling this right there, they keep talking about
24:26we're going to quote unquote walk away if a deal isn't made, if quote unquote concrete proposals
24:32aren't presented. I'm looking at this and going, hey, Russia's presented plenty of concrete proposals,
24:37right? Their demands haven't really changed when it comes to the heart of what they're genuinely
24:43concerned about. How do you see the Trump administration and its handling of Kyiv trying to
24:49possibly rope them into some sort of a deal? Is that even a chance right now that we get any kind of
24:57deal that Kyiv complies with and it doesn't immediately fall apart? No, I mean, they will
25:04continue to all, you know, with all those efforts or whatever you call it. The problem is that of course
25:12Zelensky cannot go and do anything about it because he will be immediately offed if not by London,
25:19which is completely mired. It is utterly humiliated. These morons, they even think that what they killed
25:26the whole combined arms army, 76,000 people in Kursk, they think that it's a great accomplishment.
25:33I mean, that's perverted. I believe this incest thing finally caught up with them and look at them,
25:41they're, you know, so. And when you have this, I don't know, you know, just it's like nothing you can
25:50do about this because even Lavrov said, hey, yeah, sure, let's talk. And Russia was about it. We can talk
25:57at any time, you know, without preconditions. Then he says, no, that should be 30-day ceasefire. And
26:05Lavrov states in his interview the day before yesterday. Well, it's precondition, so no go.
26:13Listen, I will be very blunt, and I used this phrase before. Only Chinese are better in pulling
26:21their Tomcat's gonads than Russians. Russians are number two in terms of pulling those gonads. As long
26:27as it takes, they have the best, one of the best, if not the best diplomacy in the world,
26:32employers. So they can go around this while they're, well, I'm sorry, special military operation
26:38continues. Until their whole male, basically sperm bank, that's what it is, it's all about sperm,
26:48and Ukrainian nation completely runs out, and that's it. Simple as that. It's, you know what,
26:56those differential equations of Osipov-Lanchester in 1915, they have been developed in the very
27:02fundamental military science, which absolutely proved itself empirically on the operational
27:09and strategic level. So Russians are really good at math, apart from, you know, so, and when you look
27:14at, I guess I already stated, you look at this American generals, good lord, they won't be allowed to
27:20command a freaking battalion in the Russian army. They are, how incompetent they are, how unprepared
27:26they are. And going back to the history with the helicopter or that, you had, you know what,
27:33you had the people with the, the one of their, uh, Lisa Franketian, good lord. Uh, she was a
27:38chief of liberal operation by the administration. She ended up there because she's a woman, nothing
27:44wrong with women. But when you look at her, uh, uh, she had degree in journalism. I, nothing wrong with
27:51journalism per se, if you pursue, but nobody appoints me heart surgeon, because if I, you know what,
27:59I will go and kill the guy on the operational table within like 20 seconds. But when you have these
28:06people all across the board, everywhere in administration, in corporations, in military,
28:11you know, and you look at the, this is a sheer incompetence. And this is scary. This is scary because,
28:17in the end, this is what, uh, it was all about. It's, uh, I wrote four books on that. Warning, don't
28:24go there. You're gonna end up beaten in the bloody pulp. And, but they still went, because obviously
28:30they live in delusion. They invented the history, military history of the United States. They
28:36confabulated it, you know, Hollywood did it all. They still, like Trump, you know, his two things that
28:42the United States won it all. Well, Russians were there kind of help, you know, but when general
28:47Patton was beating their, you know, it's like, good Lord. Yeah. And it's, especially as we come up on
28:55that anniversary. And I mean, I look at, you know, Russia understands, right. They understand the
29:02sacrifices that their people made. And the fact that those sacrifices were required in order to defeat
29:09Nazi Germany. And when they see the NATO Alliance encroaching on their territory, yes, they're
29:14going to respond because world war II was not that long ago. And as you're noting there, I mean,
29:20the U S has completely rewritten history. And I mean, I know when I was in school, I certainly did not
29:27learn any of this. And I know today's kids aren't learning any of it either. So as we come up on that
29:3280th anniversary, how much more important is it now to actually learn about history and to learn about
29:39how it is playing a role in today's culture and the U S and its refusal to acknowledge it is going to end
29:47up being really the downfall of the U S in the end. It's already in the progress. Yeah. And I obviously
29:54observed this with the in dismay. It's I live in this country. It's my country now. And I feel absolutely
30:00sorry for including people and what they were already undergoing with all that. But you are
30:06absolutely correct. And what many people do not understand, which happened with Russia, which is
30:12dramatic cultural shift starting from 2014. And it was already kind of just stating there. And it was
30:21the fact that Russians admitted, went out and openly stated. World War II, especially what known for
30:26Russian to Soviet people, essentially Great Patriotic War. It wasn't just about Nazi Germany. It was about
30:33Europe, combined forces of Europe, almost like what Tolstoy wrote about 1812 and Napoleonic invasions,
30:42the forces of 12 languages. Finland was instrumental in Leningrad siege, keeping 500,000 troops, you know,
30:51on the border there. They are not allowing to break through. Hungary, Romania, Italy, good lord,
30:59French SS divisions, Charlemagne, you know, the blue division of Spain, Spain. And you look at that,
31:06there were Slavax who were Nazis. And they were fighting on the front. So it wasn't just like,
31:13oh yeah, you know, some German National Socialism. No, no, no, no, no. There were very many subscribers.
31:19And with the exception of United Kingdom, which was actually on the verge of supporting Hitler until
31:26Churchill kind of, and you have to applaud for him. The guy was a complete jerk, but you have to give
31:33the credit where the credit is due, you know. And he preserved this integrity, which by the way,
31:38now these morals from London, they go back to their roots. They support Nazis, you know.
31:43So, and with the exception of United Kingdom, if you look at France, for example, France resistance
31:55was not even actually registering anywhere. They had Petain, they had Vichy government,
32:01they did well. They supported Nazis, you know. So they're all, and yeah, Putin today, you know,
32:08goes out and he praises, obviously, French volunteers, who are now soldiers of Russian
32:14Ministry of Defense, that they fight and here invokes the memory, legendary regiment of Normandy
32:21Neiman. But they were a minority majority of French supported it, you know. So, and when you look at that,
32:30and it's the 80s, you know, every family in Soviet, former Soviet Union was touched, but especially
32:37Slavic families, and it's like, you look at this, they have no grasp in Washington what they are dealing
32:45with. It's beyond their grasp, it's beyond their culture, and as I am on record for the second decade
32:53now in a row, they don't have real Russian experts, they don't. They have all those, you know, Trotsky's,
33:02you know, basically Newocon, well, basically fringes, and all kinds of the BSers who sell them what
33:10they want to hear, and they say, they call, oh, I speak Russian, oh, I'm Russian, you look at me.
33:16All my family, you know, including my mother and father, they were killed in Gulag. How are you alive?
33:22Well, it doesn't matter, you know, they sell this crap, you know, and as the result, you have these
33:29people, and they have no clue. And you look at the complete implosion of the American higher education,
33:37especially through the Ivy League, or Ivy League humanities departments are just, most of it is just
33:43brainwashing. They, all those professors are laughable. You look at the military education,
33:48it's a joke, let alone European military education. It's a joke. It's unbelievable. We're
33:56literally living idiocracy. You know, Mike Judge was pre-signed with his genius movie, which I adore,
34:06I love, one of the favorite movies, and yeah, idiocracy all along.
34:11Yeah, and going back to what we were saying about having all of this information out there, it's like
34:17it becomes, it should be, the responsibility of everyone to learn, okay, what is the history that
34:24got us to this point, and how important is it in defining the world that we're currently living in,
34:29explaining why Russia is in the position that it's in, why it's responding the way that it is,
34:35and also, to that extent, why you have a U.S. administration that is trying to cover
34:41so much of it up, and to act as though they are some third-party broker just trying to,
34:46you know, figure out a dispute between Russia and Ukraine, and that that is all that important.
34:51Yeah, they are the ones who started it. Yeah, how can you be a broker? Yeah, it's just like,
34:56I mean, it's a perverted world of smoke and mirrors, and again, the only thing they can do is verbiage.
35:03They can produce words. They give them different meaning of those words. We are literally in that
35:11doublespeak, and we're literally in 1984, Orwellian reality, especially as you look
35:18attentively at, let's say, Western media. It's establishment media. You look at this just,
35:24good lord, I mean, this is it, you know, the double thing, you know, doublespeak, you know, that they,
35:32those people do not even understand. The old meanings, the semantics have been hollowed out.
35:38They throw in some senseless words, verbiage, and this is the only thing they can do.
35:44If you look at answer right now, the elites, they cannot run the country. They don't understand
35:49technology. You have the bunch of morons who drive Teslas. Yeah, they do it. It's a virtue signaling,
35:56a signaling cult, you know, and then, of course, the winter comes and nothing starts, no matter.
36:03It's like, hey, there's a physics, you know, guys, there's some basic things you can know. Anybody can
36:09understand that, but they don't. It's all about appearances, and it's, we live in the postmodernist,
36:17postmodern world, post-Christian world, without any ethics anymore. It's all based on the,
36:24uh, it's not just radical. Uh, there's nothing wrong with individualism. I am an individualist,
36:29you know, but we went into, uh, basically grotesque territory now with all that, you know,
36:36and yeah, when you look into body positive and the, uh, standards of the beauty quote unquote,
36:43they want to impose on us. Yeah. It's just really menacing. Yeah. Yeah, it is. I know that there's
36:51certainly a lot at stake here all around. They give us plenty to talk about, and I'm
36:56always grateful for you taking the time to join me to break down all of the latest here. Andrei
