00:00Hi, everybody. Today is Wednesday, May 8th, 2025, and our friend Andre Martianov is back with us.
00:14Welcome back, Andre.
00:15My pleasure.
00:16Before starting this talk, please hit the like button because that would help the stream to get much more views.
00:24Thank you. Andre, let's get started with the new sort of turmoil, making a lot of noises when it comes to the conflict in Ukraine.
00:43But before getting there, we know that Vladimir Putin went to the Korsk region and he was attacked by Ukrainian drones.
00:54And considering it's not that much easy to find the route through which he's just going there, there has to be some sort of intelligence, some sort of information coming from somewhere.
01:13Who was providing Ukraine with the intelligence to attack Vladimir Putin in Europe?
01:18Well, we don't know if he was really attacked.
01:23Kremlin is kind of mom on this.
01:25The fact that that could have been stated that he would be in the area, which probably CIA, that's the only...
01:36NSA and CIA, they are the only two organizations which are interconnected and they have the access to this data.
01:44So, yeah, they might have told Ukrainian, you know, party to that, oh, yeah, Putin is going to be there.
01:52But, I mean, they were shooting their drones into Korsk area nonstop.
01:55So, the fact that it turned out to be somewhere around like half a mile or mile away from him does not necessarily mean that they had a new good targeting on that.
02:07Russia has enough also electronic warfare capabilities to make sure the president of Russia is very safe.
02:14So, but, yeah, it just shows you that who those people are.
02:17And, yeah, the United States is party to this war and there is nothing more than Washington, D.C. would like to see more due to Washington, D.C. being, well, basically not very smart people.
02:30That Vladimir Putin could be killed for some reason, you know.
02:33So, yeah, can you imagine what happens if Vladimir Putin is killed?
02:38And he's the reasonable one, okay?
02:41So, these idiots, I mean, but then again, you have to understand.
02:44You look at the bunch of the cretins who are sitting at the, and are called power elites in the West.
02:51They are morons, really.
02:53They do not understand anything.
02:54They are kindergarten type level or teenage level of, you know, maturity.
03:00So, what can I say?
03:02They don't understand that.
03:03Vladimir Putin is the reasonable one.
03:05He is the one who holds this together in terms of not escalating in a sense that not that the United States is capable to do anything about it.
03:14The United States military is a paper tiger.
03:17It's just that the fact that Russia can escalate any time and there will be, you know, what, even against Europe if it comes down to it.
03:26But this Vladimir Putin, he is very intelligent.
03:29He is very kind of, you know, long-term.
03:32So patient.
03:32Yeah, he is actually, well, Russians are generally very patient people.
03:37So, and in this case, you know what, it's, some people say that it's debit credit type, you know, pros and cons, you know, about the balance sheet of the special military operation.
03:52But the point is, if need be, it could be escalated.
03:56It's just that the morons from Pentagon or CIA, they still don't get the idea.
04:01They didn't, they ain't seen nothing yet.
04:04But I explain it all the time and it's just impossible to explain that this is not a war.
04:10This is special military operation.
04:12Why is it called special military operation?
04:14Hey, you people, you know, who claim to know everything about Russia.
04:19How about you educate yourself on basic military things, you know, such.
04:22But yeah, it's useless.
04:23The other somehow strange thing coming from Washington is the way that Donald Trump is attacking Vladimir Putin.
04:34Personally, he says that absolutely crazy.
04:38This, I knew that he wants all of Ukraine.
04:41He wants to capture all of Ukraine.
04:43I don't know when.
04:44He never, he never said anything in that term.
04:48Have you ever heard Donald Trump saying that Vladimir Putin wants to capture all of Ukraine?
04:54Well, Donald Trump has been stated today by very heavyweights.
04:59Okay, very.
05:01Mr. Lavrov, who is foreign minister, and Mr. Roshakov, who is first aid and foreign policy aid to Vladimir Putin.
05:08That Trump, well, which is translating into normal human language.
05:13They use the word like misled or filtered and things like that, filtered information.
05:17That he has no clue.
05:19He is being manipulated.
05:21He is an amateur, practically in every, any matter of the, you know, statesmanship, let alone military affairs.
05:28And as a result, you have people like Kellogg and all kinds of the neocons and a bunch of other neocons, they manipulate the guy.
05:36They know who he is.
05:37Anybody, I mean, anybody with a basic, you know, culture, understand that he is a classless, narcissist, and he lashes out.
05:45He still thinks he is an alternative universe where the United States, you know, controls universe, you know, controls galaxies and things like that.
05:53He doesn't understand that United States has no resources, military, economic to harm Russia without being wiped out of the face of the earth, you know.
06:03And so Kellogg, when Mr. Medvedev stated, yeah, you want to see what would be the worst case scenario, because he threatened Russia.
06:13He basically insults Russian people nowadays, you know.
06:15He goes out about how America single-handedly won the World War II, you know.
06:21Those 27 million Russians, you know, they do not matter.
06:25So now he, I mean, it's just, it's a circus, unbelievable.
06:32And I'm talking about low-level circus.
06:34We know that Donald Trump, before becoming the President of the United States, it seems that he had a lot of information, much better information on the conflict in Ukraine than the way that he is right now talking about his information.
06:55Because it seems that he has, he's somehow isolated with the information of those people within the circle of propaganda.
07:05They're just feeding him with something that is not realistic.
07:09And he doesn't have access or he doesn't have the time to look at the alternative media.
07:17Not only that, he doesn't have the toolkit.
07:20Militarily, he is an amateur.
07:21He has absolutely no clue what modern warfare is.
07:25He doesn't understand war, which is normal for any American politician, including military people who come from Afghanistan and direct diplomacy.
07:33Oh, yeah, we know of war.
07:34No, you don't.
07:35And so the question here is that when you look at his surrounding, it's a typical Trump administration.
07:44We can say it now.
07:46Chaotic, mutually exclusive, bunch of the people fighting for power.
07:51And the guy sits down there.
07:54He's, yeah, he's manipulated easily.
07:57And again, when you consider his intellectual level, it's not very high intellectual level.
08:02He's certainly not Joe Biden.
08:04He is aware.
08:05But the point is that at this stage, even if he would have some access to information, he simply has no toolkit.
08:13He wouldn't understand how to interpret it.
08:16What does it mean?
08:17Especially when you consider the way America, not knows, doesn't know the war.
08:23United States as a country, as a nation, doesn't know what war is.
08:27They know the movie patent.
08:30And some of those people, I mean, literally think that, you know, the top gun maverick is a kind of realistic demonstration of the capabilities.
08:41And things of this nature, you know.
08:42So it's sad.
08:44And I can only quote Major General Latif, Robert Latif, PhD in physics, no less than himself.
08:5220 years at DARPA.
08:53And I quote him all the time.
08:56He says that everything that American public knows about the war, including political top of the United States, is from the entertainment industry.
09:05So there you go.
09:06Trump watches only Fox News.
09:08So, well, guess what?
09:09Fox News is as sure as CNN.
09:12It's just a different type, you know, different type of the excrement.
09:15You just have to choose between, you know.
09:18So there you go.
09:19And as a result, you have what is the collapse of competence.
09:24And United States, I am on the record, is ungovernable since hell knows when, you know.
09:29The last time it was more or less governed, it was, well, George H. W. Bush, late George, that was governed.
09:39After that, you know, especially with Bill Clinton coming to power, and the whole thing just going bananas and Aleister Crook.
09:46I made my video about it today, penned an excellent piece yesterday about the situation with the combined West.
09:54The expertise in the West is dead.
09:57It's like, it's non-existent on the top levels.
10:01And as a result, we have what we have.
10:04Yesterday, I talked with Professor Miranda, together with Scott Rader.
10:13Professor Miranda said something that we use in Persian.
10:16He said that there was a guy who was somehow genius, somehow making a lot of jokes in those days, in those old days.
10:26He made new rumors in the town.
10:29And he said that in that specific location, they're giving some sort of soup just for free.
10:41For free, yeah.
10:41And everybody was lining up to get something for free.
10:45And he went to the line.
10:48And everybody was getting...
10:50His friends asked him, you made this sort of rumors.
10:54Why are you in the line?
10:56He said, what if they have something to give us?
10:59The propaganda in the West is just financed by these people.
11:06They're just paying for them.
11:08They're getting back to the same...
11:09Oh, look, that's the one thing which I have to interrupt, pardon me, is that when we talk about those people paying propaganda, which is fine.
11:17The problem is those people, those all magical behind the mystical powers, which actually run show, they are as dumb as those who represent them.
11:27You think so?
11:28There are smart people in Rockefeller Foundation.
11:31They are morons.
11:32I mean, they don't understand anything.
11:34They don't understand the economy.
11:35They made money sometimes, you know, by cheating, they're stealing and all kinds of things of this nature.
11:42Very few people actually did develop things of value, which played a crucial role.
11:50For example, if you look at, obviously, at Boeing, it was an engineering company with some of the most outstanding aircraft ever produced, you know?
11:58And so that's the real business, you know?
12:01And even those people, let's just remember those railroad barons, which, you know, have been fighting each other for the rise of the railroad transportation, which brought about America's industrial greatness before it was completely destroyed by the Great Depression.
12:17But at least those people were doing things.
12:19They were building this.
12:21You look at those people, the only thing they know is ideology, and they are incompetent.
12:26You cannot get any competence when you attend journalism or history department in Harvard or anywhere else.
12:35There's a useless solve degrees where they basically brainwash you.
12:38As a result, you come out, and the only thing you know how to do is to, well, the only thing that you care is about cheap credit, you know, all around.
12:48Wall Street.
12:49Most of them are morons.
12:50I mean, they play this game like those, you know, rats in this wheel, you know, and at some point in time, you get exhausted and you die.
13:00And this is exactly what has happened.
13:01It's not happening.
13:02It's already has happened.
13:05It's a fatal complaint.
13:06But then again, I warned about it for years.
13:11We are literally looking at complete disintegration.
13:14And there is nobody out there who is capable of running anything properly with the competence.
13:22Literally nobody.
13:24There are no political figures which comes out and says, oh, no, we don't do this.
13:28They can't.
13:29Political system is corrupted to such a degree that no matter what you try to do, it's going to block and sabotage.
13:37And as a result, yeah, we have what we have, you know.
13:40So, and yeah, there's Mr. Trump.
13:43I don't know.
13:44He's under a lot of pressure, evidently.
13:47And I don't know.
13:49Vladimir Putin evidently told him the last time they spoke for two hours that, dude, you probably doesn't even understand what is happening.
13:55He didn't say it to him, Vladimir Putin is a class guy.
13:59I mean, he is very polite.
14:02And he told him that he probably doesn't even understand what he is dealing with and he doesn't have any information, proper information.
14:09But then again, information is not knowledge.
14:11If you do not have knowledge, it's not going to help you.
14:15You wouldn't even know what to do with this information.
14:18You need to be able to, you need to have the toolkit to properly process it and internalize, let alone act upon it.
14:25Trump has none of this.
14:28He's chaotic.
14:29And some people are saying that he is probably on set of senility.
14:32No doubt about that.
14:34There are some things happening.
14:36Others propose that he is bipolar.
14:37I don't think he is bipolar, but evidently being a narcissist and the, you know, spoiled child that he is, he cannot take the fact that whatever he set out to do is not happening because he doesn't know.
14:53It's one thing to proclaim something totally in order to implement it and achieve success with that.
14:59And his main propaganda slogan was that, oh, yeah, I'll stop the war.
15:03Well, good luck.
15:05Learn about the war first before you go and try to stop it.
15:08Learn about the nature of the conflict, which, by the way, there is not a single person in Pentagon who can understand it.
15:15Or those who understand, they usually are not promoted to the general ranks.
15:20And as a result, you have, we have what we have.
15:23And it cannot be fixed.
15:26It just has to run its course and it's run its course.
15:33Andre, do look at the way that Mertz is somehow leading the circus in Europe, the terms that they, he came out, he wants to, he said that Germany, United Kingdom and France have removed or have, they have lifted the restrictions on the range of weapons provided to Ukraine.
16:00Who, what does he mean in terms of Taurus missiles?
16:06Is, is that a new game on their part or they're just.
16:10No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
16:15It's a real gurgitation.
16:18There are Storm Shadow and Skull, which are, by the way, better weapons than Taurus.
16:24Germans do not have good expertise in terms of the standoff weapons, unlike French.
16:30French do have some expertise in terms of the, you know, building the cruise missiles, such as the Storm Shadow is actually Skull, you know, it's primarily French design.
16:42So, yeah, it's same thing.
16:45I mean, it's just to make a statement.
16:48It's to, don't forget, the average attention span of the average Western consumer of the information who is involved and plugged into the mainstream media and political processes is that of a guppy fish.
17:02Okay.
17:03They don't remember what happened, you know, yesterday, let alone.
17:06So, this is a very effective brainwashing method and Europe is becoming a totalitarian concentration camp.
17:14They will become 1984.
17:16So, you can proclaim those things over and over.
17:19But, I mean, Storm Shadow and Skulls, they were flying into Russia.
17:25They, most of them are shut down, you know, so, if not all of them.
17:29But, I mean, now Marx has to, you know, kind of up the ante, if you wish, or earn the additional political capital.
17:38And many of those burgers from Germany, they will applaud him.
17:42But, I mean, it means absolutely nothing because it already happened a long time ago.
17:47So, it's like, yeah, so, what's the news?
17:50I mean, but you can constantly have to make those statements, you have to constantly uphold, so to speak, this stream of the grandiose statements, which have to make, well, basically the poodles in media and electorate and hoi palui, if you wish, you know, happy that, oh, yeah, we're cool, you know, we're tough, we can do something.
18:13In reality, it's nothing new.
18:14But, yeah, in fact, it's not what he said entirely.
18:19He stated merrily that Germany will help to build some manufacture plan, which will produce those missiles in Ukraine.
18:28Good luck trying to do that.
18:32Russians have excellent thing, which is called the satellite constellation.
18:37And if he thinks that he can do that in secret, it's obviously I have a bridge to sell him.
18:43So, that's what is this all about.
18:45It is constant soap opera.
18:48And they have to keep it going because many of them are not very secure in their power, albeit Merz probably is secure.
18:56He will start soon.
18:58He will be, you know, screaming Zechail if need be.
19:02And, you know, so many people will upload him.
19:04Andrei, here is what Maria Zakharova said to TASS or TASS, whatever, is that TASS or TASS?
19:14TASS.
19:15TASS.
19:15TASS.
19:16And she says that the West's strategic ambiguity has now been replaced by what she called offensive irrationality.
19:26Well, yeah, Maria Zakharova, she needs to kind of go out there every day, poor lady, I admire her, you know, steadfastness, and explain to a bunch of morons.
19:43And for the record, you know, you have to understand, many people come there from all those war crime-ridden media from the West, like BBC, those jerks, you know.
19:55So she needs to make those statements for the record, that even those people, even if they misrepresent them, which they do, they make things up, they cannot just get away easily with that.
20:09But so, and she may have to kind of give them some further and some, not emotional, but more, how to say it, human response to what is happening.
20:20But yeah, West is irrational, and again, it's not crisis.
20:26Crisis is when some things you can resolve in crisis.
20:30This is not crisis, it's death.
20:32It's death.
20:33Their competence, military, political, economic, or what have you, is death in the combined West, especially in Europe.
20:41So Europe is now on the way to becoming, indeed, totalitarian concentration camp.
20:46They will be eventually completely limited in their access to information, in their access to travel, and essentially they will become, they're already becoming Ukraine, you know, kind of version of Ukraine.
21:01And what can I say?
21:05They want to do it, so let them do it, and let them enjoy it.
21:08They voted, for example, in France for that, so, and that's coming.
21:13Andre, just despite all of these noises that are happening, what Donald Trump is talking about, Europeans are talking about lifting restrictions, we know that the talks are going to happen between Russia and Ukrainians and the Zelensky administration.
21:36And these talks that they're talking about, do they have any sort of, on the part of the Russians, what do they think about the talks?
21:46Or do they really believe that Zelensky and the team that is going to negotiate with them is not going to be influenced by the Europeans?
21:56I would argue most of the Europeans, not the Trump administration.
22:00Well, they know all of it.
22:02They know all of it.
22:02They're extremely aware.
22:03Moscow is very aware of all that.
22:05Listen, three days ago, none other than Sergei Lavrov, and again, you see, this is the interesting thing.
22:12That's what the media, English language media, for example, even including RT, although RT reported on it properly, they do not describe, they are not trained.
22:23Journalism as such is not a profession.
22:26It's nothing, you know, just a glorified English or language degree.
22:30But the truth is, Lavrov stated three days ago that, sure, we're going to talk, we're going to negotiate, but by the time, the time will come, actually, and I quote, to sign any document, the legitimacy of Zelensky will become an issue.
22:49Okay, translating into normal human language, yeah, we're going to negotiate, but it's not nothing going to come out of it.
22:57It's going to be still on our conditions, either our way or highway.
23:03Simple as that.
23:04Here is an article in the Reuters, they're talking about, Reuters somehow, I don't have any sort of faith in the way that they do.
23:17You shouldn't.
23:18But these conditions that they're mentioning, it somehow makes sense that formally, it says that the Putin's condition for ending the war, according to sources in Russia, they're talking about formal Western commitment to halt NATO expansion eastward.
23:41This is...
23:42That's not news.
23:44Yeah, that's not news.
23:45First, Reuters doesn't have reliable sources in Russia, I can tell you that.
23:51What they have, and by the way, we spoke about this today with Danny Davis, the first thing which either a Western intelligence officer or a journalist from the West comes in, they try to find immediately pro-Western liberal and preferably corrupted by the USAID, which doesn't exist anymore, all those grants.
24:13And so they use those sources, which basically do what they do, they shuffle in this liberal beaumont there, they gather rumors, and they come and tell those reporters what they want to hear.
24:30Those Russian sources are not idiots, they will milk these cretins, and basically average Western journalist is a cretin, basically, you know, so no morality, no nothing.
24:43So, and yeah, the only thing they want to hear is how great they are, how about Russia is to collapse in 24 hours.
24:49That's it.
24:50So, and it's for this, and that's what I'm saying, get me chief, I know who she is, of the economists, for example, okay, she's PhD in economics from Harvard, she's something this and that, and then she's a moron, there's morons those people who work for her, and I mean, you don't have any on.
25:10That's the problem, that's the problem, there's none, I already gave so many examples about this Royal United, United, United, United Services Institute, Russia, or this Chatham House, you know, there's a bunch of the pretentious bunch of the, you know, British guys smoking cigars and drinking scotch, pretending that they know what strategy is.
25:31They don't, as I already stated, for example, military is a joke, so is the media, many of them walk criminals because they essentially are, you know, just pushing propaganda, and they are russophobic, so it's over.
25:46Russia is done with the West, there is nothing in common in terms of Russia just gonna retain the, you know, the best of the West features, which have been important from Russia, even patriarchs, you know,
26:00stated that in the end, we are still part of the European civilization, but European civilization, and the West is done, it's over, and so there is nothing to gain from that.
26:14Under which part of the Trump administration is much more influential when it comes to Ukraine?
26:21I mean, is that Keith Kellogg, Rubio, and these people, or somehow, Steve Witkoff, which is much more, I think, he talked with Russians, he knows, he tries to understand the position of Russians.
26:37Who's, who has the upper hand right now?
26:39Who's running the show?
26:41Neocons, Kellogg, they manipulate Trump, we already, yeah.
26:45He, he doesn't understand the best, first thing about war.
26:49He really doesn't, he doesn't understand statistics, he doesn't understand the mathematics of war, he doesn't understand correlation of forces and means.
26:59He just feels it, he has, as Kellogg said, he has excellent instincts.
27:04Well, he has instincts when his ego begins to suffer, and it's been, what, 20th of, well, four months, more than four months, 128 days since he was sworn in the office,
27:17his achievements, zero, and especially in terms of war, and Russians gave him, kind of, you know, the credit of, you know, trust.
27:29Well, so, now we're more than, four and a half months in it, done nothing.
27:36Dimitri Medvedev responded to Donald Trump, regarding Trump, or he said, because Donald Trump is talking about playing with fire, really bad things that are going to happen to Russia.
27:54He says, I only know, one really bad thing, that would be World War III, if he's mentioning that.
28:05And Keith Kellogg came over and asked, Dimitri Medvedev.
28:09He, it seems that, Andre, is it, do they really want to be that much superficial, just being on the surface, talking about, it's nothing deep happening right now.
28:24No, that, you know.
28:26We, we, we, considering all of what has happened so far.
28:30Well, it's very, yeah.
28:31It's very simple, United States is co-belligerent, is ally of Ukraine, and, as such, it conducts the war against Russia and the Russian people.
28:44Simple as that.
28:46Keith Kellogg, as I already stated, the guy is, it's not even his league, okay?
28:51He's American general, that means he's illiterate, he doesn't know military history, he doesn't know modern war.
28:56And so he, the only, I think he got into Trump's view, the same way as John Mattis got it in his first administration.
29:08What he said, oh, he looks nice in uniform, and he talks tough.
29:12That's exactly what it is.
29:14So these are utter unqualified people, and he is manipulated by them.
29:20And probably he wants to be manipulated, as I already stated.
29:23We have the, really, a deviation from the normal human character, in the sense that Trump is openly, unabashedly, if you wish, a narcissist.
29:34We know, everybody speaks about it.
29:36Anybody who knows him, they say that he is sheer narcissist.
29:41And as a result, you have this, you know, how to say it, exacerbation of the situation with the, any kind of the common sense, if you wish.
29:50You know, he has to be a common sense guy.
29:53He is not.
29:54And as a result, he insults Russian people.
29:56He insults his counterpart.
29:59So that pretty much, they end between, meaning between Putin and him.
30:07You know, Russians do not take this thing slightly.
30:10And so it's a long story, but, yeah, it's all superficial.
30:18It's all verbiage.
30:19It's all verbs.
30:21It's all words.
30:23It's all shaking of the air.
30:25In reality, Russia kills 1,500 a day of the Ukrainian armed forces while losing very few of its own, of their own.
30:35And they move westward every day.
30:38Today, again, number of the, you know, villages and families have been liberated.
30:43Russians are now in Yunakovka fighting in Yunakovka.
30:46And this is about 10 kilometers from the city of Sumer, which is being evacuated, as we speak.
30:52So, and then Russians are in Kharkov area.
30:54Russians are now in Dnieper-Petrovsk, Oblast.
30:57And Kherson just a couple of days ago started to light up.
31:01Kherson direction, which was relatively calm.
31:03So, yeah, it's offensive.
31:06It's not yet that big of offensive, but it's large in scale.
31:13And, yeah, essentially, Ukraine is getting now every day all kinds of the messages and parcels, if you wish.
31:23And it will continue.
31:27Here is, Andre, here is what Donald Trump said about the sanctions.
31:32What stopped you from imposing new sanctions on Russia?
31:37Only the fact that if I think I'm close to getting a deal, I don't want to screw it up by doing that.
31:43Let me tell you, I'm a lot tougher than the people you're talking about.
31:46But you have to know when to use that.
31:49If I think it's going to hurt a deal, this isn't my war.
31:53This is Biden's war, Zelensky's war, and Putin's war.
31:56This isn't Trump's war.
32:00Andre, again, I want to mention again from Miranda yesterday.
32:04He said when Donald Trump was asking Erdogan to just to release that guy from the United States,
32:14he was a pastor, he was a preacher in Turkey, and he recused to do that.
32:23And then he put some sort of sanctions on Turkey, and the next day he released him.
32:28He said, this is not Russia, is not Turkey.
32:32Russia knows what is sanctions.
32:35They're under a lot of sanctions right now.
32:39Just doing this game doesn't make sense.
32:42Yeah, I don't know what kind of deal he's talking about.
32:46It's his war now.
32:48Nothing he can do.
32:49And he can play with those.
32:51It's his war.
32:53It's over.
32:54He had a chance to stop it.
32:56He didn't.
32:57Now it's his war.
32:58And he has to live with it.
33:00Yeah, and in terms of Russia, you see this room in the White House where they, you know,
33:04there are not many smart people there, honestly.
33:09There is a very low IQ in general in there, especially American journalists.
33:16As I really say, the average American journalist is an imbecile, you know, so.
33:20And they know that something is written by them, by the same imbeciles who are chief editors,
33:24ask this and that.
33:25They will get this hollow, empty answers all the time.
33:31They will report them.
33:32But it's like, you know, you are from Persia and you probably know this proverb.
33:41It doesn't matter how many times you say baklava, it will not get any sweeter in your mouth.
33:48Okay?
33:49This is what we are observing.
33:51We're observing soap, odor.
33:52There is no substance behind any of this.
33:56It's just empty talk.
33:57It's a verbiage.
33:58Or some people say, you know, it's a sewer of these words, useless, not connected, playing some constructs,
34:07because this is the only thing that Western elites can do.
34:12Talk.
34:12They cannot do anything more.
34:14We live in the conditions which used to be that, oh, you're getting elected.
34:21So what is your program?
34:22What are you going to do in terms of?
34:24Now, for example, that's what Trump thinks.
34:27He thinks that being elected on itself is their greatest achievement.
34:32So, but what are you going to do?
34:34Well, we'll see.
34:35He talks about some deals.
34:37I mean, he never wrote this book.
34:39It's BS.
34:40Somebody shadow wrote it for him.
34:41His verbiage, his vernacular is much poorer than mine, and I'm not a native speaker.
34:48So, let's face, while definitely not Biden, who was absolutely just an avatar, okay?
34:55Intellectually, he is not even second rate.
34:58So, and this is what we are dealing with.
35:01And, yeah, he decided to play the big games, and he didn't understand the rules.
35:07And I understand how painful for him to recognize now that the United States is absolutely no leverage.
35:15Yeah, he can sanction Russia.
35:17Russia will say, yeah, screw you.
35:18It's fine.
35:19So, New York Times, Andre, reported that Trump may be preparing a large-scale deal with Russia and China on spheres of influence.
35:33I don't know what would that mean, but do you think that this administration would think that big?
35:39I am not even sure he's capable to formulate anything beyond the words, adjectives such as beautiful, wonderful, and something else he is using.
35:52So, yeah, it's going to be big, huge bill or big, huge deal, whatever.
35:58I don't know.
35:59The guy was bankrupt several times.
36:02He didn't earn his money, actually.
36:05It was left for him by his father, you know?
36:08So, you look at this.
36:10What the hell am I talking about?
36:11He's a showman, okay?
36:13He was better than Biden by any means.
36:15That's why we voted for him.
36:17But he's the guy who ran the show program, Apprentice.
36:20He also was good.
36:22Because Biden didn't exist.
36:24Yeah, exactly.
36:26At least you get here somebody who can talk and walk on its own.
36:30But the point is that the guy judged the beauty contests he organized around the world.
36:37Well, he also builds casinos.
36:39And if he thinks that this is enough for the statesmanship, oh, well, I have a breach to sell him.
36:45He definitely doesn't qualify even for minimum requirements which are required for the statesmanship and head of such country as the United States.
36:56Especially considering the depth of the problems the United States is facing now.
37:01But now, sure, yeah, a great deal.
37:04A great deal is built on the balance of power.
37:07The United States lost this power.
37:10It's not anymore.
37:12First, it never was to start with.
37:14But it's absolutely not what it thinks it was.
37:19It's nowhere near.
37:20It never was.
37:21I mean, as I already stated, the only thing which matters, the only thing, first and foremost, everything else is derivative, is the military-industrial power.
37:30Russia outproduces the United States militarily and in terms of quality, not even quantity.
37:39It's not even fair to campaign.
37:42It's not even fair.
37:44It's just when you tell people the gap, they wouldn't believe it.
37:50They said, no, this is not true.
37:52This cannot be right.
37:53You know, look at us here.
37:55Well, yeah, the United States was different in the 1950s and the 1960s.
37:59Okay, that was a different country.
38:00Even in the 1970s, it was producing itself, it's, you know, whatever it wanted.
38:06Not that militarily most of it was good, but, I mean, some of it was really good, you know.
38:12And, but now, what do you say?
38:14What do we see?
38:16Service economy primarily is still with some remaining industrial capacity.
38:21It's still a large capacity.
38:23But it's not capacity which can win and sustain the war.
38:26It simply cannot.
38:31Andre, in your opinion, can be, the military-industrial complex seems to be, for any president in the United States,
38:39is the biggest challenge that they face for any sort of decision that they're making in Africa, in the Middle East, in Asia, right now in Europe.
38:50How can they, I don't know, somehow, they cannot destroy it.
38:57They have to reshape it in something else.
39:00How is that possible?
39:01Is it a priority for the president in the United States, or they're going to continue the same way that they have been doing, which would be the end of, not the United States, but the military-industrial complex itself?
39:16Yeah, it's, you are absolutely correct what you stated.
39:19Yeah, he cannot change.
39:21Trump is not the man who can change anything.
39:23I mean, he is dependent completely on the donor class.
39:28And military-industrial complex, which financed partially, you know, his campaign and, you know, what have you.
39:34And he talks a lot.
39:36He loves to be around military people, you know.
39:38So, you know, American military-industrial complex is not salvageable.
39:44It is not salvageable because of the horrendous historical scale mistake which was made in 1945.
39:51And it was made that they completely misjudged the costs, contributions, and effects.
40:02And as a result, by the 1960s, when the Vietnam War started, they thought that, oh, gosh, yeah, we, you know, just, we're going to kill it all.
40:14You know the result.
40:15Well, it didn't end well for the United States and speaking about the thing which United States thought they were best in the world.
40:25They didn't get the message in Korea when they fought Soviet fighters, Soviet pilots in the sky of Korea in 1950s.
40:37And they completely misjudged it, completely fake information which was fed in them.
40:42And they never really listened to what Russians told me, that, you know, Russians had the two-times superiority in, you know, kills in the air.
40:51And then, of course, Vietnam and then some of them, they recognized they have this completely new affair which they never expected, which is their air defense, which, I mean, and again, they tried to diminish it all.
41:05But then, of course, you have the 1973 war in the Middle East and Israel loses within, like, a couple of weeks.
41:14I mean, more than 110 fighters.
41:17And so you look at this and they never reacted properly.
41:21They thought that, oh, no, the failure here is not because we are not, you know, we are not good.
41:29The failure here because we didn't apply it properly and they will do the same recipe over and over again until by 1990 they had this wrong impression about the Middle East war and Saddam.
41:44And that was it.
41:45They really screwed it up.
41:47They didn't understand that modern war is not fought like they fought in the Middle East, especially when defeating, essentially, what amounted to completely demoralized and, I mean, decomposing armed forces of Iraq in 2003.
42:07This is not how you fight wars.
42:09And as a result, the U.S. military approach and TOE, Table of Organization and Equipment, I repeat it ad nauseam.
42:20I will continue to repeat ad nauseam.
42:22It is the TOE from the late 80s, early 90s.
42:27They are stuck on it and they can do literally nothing.
42:32They cannot create not only weapons systems.
42:35They don't have the doctrine how to fight war.
42:37What do they need?
42:39They cannot provide the proper organization for the ground forces.
42:44They don't even know how to use them, which they used to be, you know, for allegedly, you know, fighting Soviet army, you know, in Europe, obviously considering the fact that Soviets didn't want to fight in Europe.
42:56And you go through it and it's like, okay, what do you want to do about it?
43:01This is not like, okay, we have the brigade which failed its, you know, combat readiness tests and scores are really low.
43:13They, you know, demoralized, decomposed, let's dissolve this brigade and do something.
43:17No, no, this is not it.
43:19We're talking about the armed forces with the budget of $1 trillion.
43:23And the more you build, the more they reproduce basically those backward concepts and they produce useless hardware.
43:32Look at all kinds of things they produce.
43:35You saw yourself, the U.S. military industrial complex have been humiliated in special military corporation.
43:42And people do not understand the reputations are built for a long time, but they are lost very fast.
43:50As a result, many people do not pay attention.
43:53Guess what?
43:54Modi, after this grossly exaggerated and embellished, evidently, clash between Pakistan and India, he says, we want more S-400.
44:04We saw how it performed in real combat conditions.
44:07It's amazing.
44:08And what did the United States was offering to India?
44:14It was offering Patriot Pack 3, which is not even in the same league, you know.
44:20And then Modi comes out and says, we need more.
44:24So that's one of the signs of what is happening.
44:28Abram's tank, I mean, come on, it's just not even funny, you know.
44:32So, and when you look at this, what are you going to do?
44:37What?
44:37You're going to continue with your propaganda, with the booklets, which really do not support any technological claims.
44:45We saw ourselves for the last couple years how the U.S. air defense is, well, Israeli air defense is U.S. air defense.
44:55That's, you know, those David Slings and what have you, you know, they are all Boeing orator.
45:02They failed miserably.
45:05Miserably.
45:05I mean, they didn't accept the thing, you know.
45:08It's just ridiculous.
45:10How do you go out now and sell it somewhere?
45:13Well, there is a way.
45:15And you know what this way is?
45:17And I, you probably, if you followed my blog, I wrote about it and spoke.
45:22Europe is being pirated into buying American.
45:26Because Europe doesn't have even, has even less than United States.
45:31And it's even not as good as the United States, as bad as the U.S. technology is.
45:37So, guess what?
45:38They will be buying American.
45:40Absolutely.
45:41That was the whole idea from the start.
45:43I told it 10 years ago that in the end, Europeans will be de-industrialized.
45:49And then they will have all those F-35s, you know, patriots trapped down their throats.
45:56Many people don't understand.
45:58If you take a look, like, Hispanians love to, you know, be proud.
46:01Oh, look at Alvar de Bazan.
46:03We built our own ships.
46:04No, you don't.
46:05You know why?
46:06Because they build that merrily hard.
46:08But when you look at that, okay, sonar is American.
46:11It's Aegean, it's Aegean ships, okay, so they have 5-1-Z radar.
46:16They have, it's like, okay, do it Spanish ship, you know.
46:21And the same goes.
46:22Even in the, when you look at that, so we have France, which is, has its own genuinely independent nuclear deterrent.
46:30Their only aircraft carrier, not that they need more, Charles de Gaulle, guess what?
46:37They have to fly the two Hawkeyes, which are, of course, early warning, American-made, you know, without it.
46:45If you look intensively at the, even France's own, which France is the motherland of, well, it's not really French, it's consortium, of course.
46:54But guess what?
46:56The basis of the ISR of France, these are what, E-3 century, those American-made AVAX aircraft, they have four of them, but they cannot operate anything without it.
47:08When you look intensively, the NATO is the United States, and so in this case, what's left?
47:16Yeah, you have AUKUS, allegedly, you know, making the Australians to whatever this, it's complete shyster operation, it's some kind of fraud there, but still.
47:29You have Europe, so, okay, market, let's shove our, you know, products down their throat.
47:38F-35, everybody knows that F-35, it's an anger queen, it doesn't mean any critical six criteria on the combat readiness, but guess what?
47:49Netherlands already have F-35, so the next what?
47:53Germany, they actually rejected the use of their Eurofighter typhoon, and it's getting old, it's a good aircraft, make no mistake.
48:04But, and guess what?
48:05They're going for F-35, so by the end of that, when they all said and done, it's going to be American military hardware used by Europeans, period, simple as that.
48:17And, hey, it's a good deal for U.S. military industrial complex for a while, but after that, you're absolutely right, they have no idea, no ideas.
48:28This, this golden dawn thing is just not the butt of the jokes in Russia, it's people a lot openly at that, it's, it's, it's, it's really bad.
48:38Andrei, is the THAAD system, is the best air defense system that they have right now in the world?
48:47The THAAD system.
48:51THAAD, first, THAAD is extremely limited in its applications, that's the other thing which people do not understand.
49:00It's not even comparable to S-400, you know, let alone S-500, which are universal.
49:07They can shoot low-flying targets, and they should, can shoot hypersonic ones.
49:11No, THAAD is merely, it's anti-ballistic system.
49:16It's designed strictly for interception of the intermediate range and theater-based ballistic missiles,
49:23which it doesn't do well at all, we saw ourselves after we just launched a missile, you know, so, and that's it.
49:33That's the only thing it's designed for.
49:35It's, it has a good radar, but United States was always, I mean, one of the leaders in the radar development, make no mistake.
49:43It's, American Electronics, at some point of time, it was the best in the world.
49:47And, so, but, yeah, it's, it cannot fight in real war.
49:56The THAAD cannot fight in real war.
49:57It will be dealt with the same way as Patriot Pact-3, and, yeah, fact is, it will not be able to defend itself against even UAVs, you know,
50:09because it's only designed to intercept ballistic missiles, such as were probably ballistic missiles, which North Korea had about 30 years ago.
50:20That's pretty much it.
50:21It's obsolete system with the good radar.
50:25Well, America doesn't have good kinetic systems.
50:27Andrei, to wrap up this session, do you feel that we're gonna get rid of this war in Ukraine by the end of this year,
50:42or are we gonna have it in the next year, in the coming years?
50:45How do you feel about the honesty on the part of Americans?
50:50Because that is a very important factor in, for any sort of outcome of these sort of talks between Ukrainians and Russians.
51:03Listen, the issue here is, of course, United States and Europe doesn't matter that much.
51:10It's all about how much of Ukraine Russians want to govern, and that's the other thing.
51:20Russians do not really want to govern Ukraine.
51:22They don't want to have this, you know, ramp of a country with the hostile population take on their balance.
51:31You know, Russians are living really well, you know, standards of living is pretty high and all that.
51:37So you suddenly have this bunch of the, you know, people, many of whom hate you, you know,
51:42and you have to literally build up their, whatever their wasteland they have now there.
51:47So it's, but most likely, yeah, it's gonna be all to the Dnieper River.
51:54If Russia goes beyond that, we'll see, you know, that there is not this stupidity,
51:59which cannot be done by a Kiev regime and its curators from Washington, D.C., and especially Europe.
52:05So, yeah, sure, yeah.
52:08But, yeah, most likely it's still, that's how it was told from the get-go.
52:13In the end of the 2024, it was told to Russian military that prepare 2025, we're still fighting.
52:23Thank you so much, Andrei, for being with us today.
52:26Great pleasure, as always.
52:29Take care, Andrei.
