00:00New nuclear risks, daily cyber attacks, growing Russian aggression in our waters,
00:28menacing our skies, their reckless actions driving up the cost of living.
00:35This is my video update on this Monday afternoon, June the 2nd, coming to you from Nicosia, Cyprus.
00:48Let's talk about some news.
00:54And let's start things off with the UK Prime Minister 008 Keir Stammer and Defence Secretary
01:09John Healy.
01:12They have declared war on Russia, or they're going to go to war with Russia.
01:21These are the statements coming from Stammer and Healy.
01:26Stammer actually gave a speech, and he said that we live in dangerous times, and Britain
01:41is moving to wartime readiness.
01:45We are living in dangerous times.
01:49Britain is getting ready for war, and they are singling out Russia.
01:55That is who they are preparing for war with.
02:01Healy said that the UK must prepare for direct conflict with Russia.
02:07This is a message to Moscow as well.
02:09This is Britain standing firm, not only strengthening our armed forces, but also reinforcing our industrial base.
02:17It's part of our readiness to fight if required, Healy said.
02:22And the UK is going to invest $8 billion in long-range missile production.
02:31They are going to pour billions and billions into military factories, building military factories.
02:41And the UK is also going to pour billions and billions into building nuclear submarines.
02:49All of this being announced by 008, the most boring man in politics, Keir Stammer.
02:58Not so boring anymore after his arson scandal escapades, which I am positive much of this announcement
03:09is meant to distract away from his arson scandal escapades, or the, I don't want to say his, the arson scandal escapades.
03:21But, yeah, they're going to invest a whole lot of money, which they don't have,
03:27in building this massive military to take on Russia.
03:34Politico is saying, UK announces billions in fresh defense splurge amid worries about Russia.
03:42The plan, which includes building six new arms factories, will make Britain ready to fight a full-fledged,
03:51a full-scale, a full-scale war, UK Defense Chief John Healy said.
03:57So, where are they going to get this money?
04:06Where are they going to get all this money, given that the UK economy is in a world of hurt?
04:15They've got billions and billions in holes from previous years that they need to plug up in their budget,
04:27in their spending that they need to plug up.
04:30And now they're talking about spending billions and billions and billions on defense in order to fight Russia.
04:41They are gearing up to go to war with Russia, the UK, according to Stommer and to Healy.
04:50So, the UK is going to probably borrow a lot of this money from the EU.
04:59S-A-F-E, the Safe Defense Slush Fund.
05:07I've talked about this slush fund quite a bit, actually.
05:13And the European Union has approved this $150 billion or 50 billion euro slush fund that Ursula has created.
05:22She is very good at creating funds.
05:24And the slush fund is not just for EU member states, but guess who else it's open to?
05:34It is open to the UK and it is open to Project Ukraine.
05:40So, the UK will be able to go into debt to borrow these tens of billions of dollars.
05:54I guess that is the plan.
05:56If I had to take a guess at what the plan is, that is the plan.
06:01And they're going to probably use that money to plug up some holes in the previous budgets,
06:06the holes created from sending all the money to Project Ukraine.
06:10And they're going to plug those up and they're going to then reward the MIC.
06:18And nothing's going to really come out of this, at least defense-wise.
06:24The UK is not going to be in any position to go to war with Russia.
06:29But, man, they are going to go into a mountain of debt.
06:34And it's going to bring them closer to the European Union, which is Stammer's endgame.
06:40Well, it's the globalist endgame.
06:41And that's the reason that Stammer is prime minister,
06:44is to bring the UK closer to the European Union to reverse Brexit.
06:51And that's exactly what's going to happen.
06:52You're going to be hearing a whole lot of statements from the UK and from the EU
06:58as they take on this debt, as they borrow this money for defense spending.
07:03Statements talking about how the UK and Europe will join forces to take on the Russians.
07:11How the UK and the EU are stronger together.
07:15They're stronger when they're united.
07:17And together, united, we can fight Russia and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
07:25They are going to go into massive debt.
07:29That is exactly what is going to happen.
07:33So, a lot of tough talking from 008.
07:36A lot of tough talking from Healy.
07:39And the UK mainstream media is so happy.
07:47It is so excited about what happened yesterday with the drone strikes.
07:56The operation Spiderweb strikes into the Russian Federation.
08:02The UK Collective West, UK mainstream media.
08:07It cannot contain itself.
08:12It is so excited and so happy.
08:14What happened yesterday, the BBC put out an article.
08:22An article that really gives it all away.
08:27This article, I believe, from the BBC explains a whole lot as to what this plan,
08:34this Operation Spiderweb was all about.
08:37This article reveals how Operation Spiderweb was coordinated with the United States rats.
08:51At the very least, coordinated with Senator Lindsey Graham.
08:56It gives that away.
08:57And what else does this article say?
09:04One big media PR, one huge, massive media PR victory.
09:11Also a military tactical victory.
09:16But that does not change the trajectory of the conflict whatsoever.
09:21But they are definitely excited about this tactical victory from the Collective West, from Ukraine, from Operation Spiderwebs.
09:33When I say Ukraine launched Operation Spiderweb in my past videos and in this video,
09:40what I mean when I say Ukraine, because I get this in the comments quite a bit,
09:45I mean Ukraine, I mean the Collective West, I mean NATO, I mean the US, I mean the UK.
09:50Just assume that when I say Ukraine, actually when I say Ukraine, don't assume.
10:00When I say Ukraine, it means that I'm talking about the entire Collective West and the UK and the US.
10:06And then everybody, when I say Ukraine, launched Operation Spiderwebs into the Russian Federation.
10:12So I am going to, well, I'm going to find some shade.
10:17That's the first thing I'm going to do.
10:19And I'm going to read you some of this BBC article, which reveals a whole lot about Operation Spiderwebs.
10:33I believe that Spiderwebs, Spiderwebs, that's a No Doubt song, isn't it?
10:39I think so. I think No Doubt had a song called Spiderwebs.
10:45Anyway, the BBC article has the title,
10:50Ukraine's audacious drone attacks sent critical message to Russia and the West.
10:59That is the title from the BBC.
11:03It was audacious. Absolutely.
11:07No Doubt about that.
11:10And it was successful to a certain point.
11:15It was a success.
11:16Definitely a tactical military success.
11:22Yes.
11:22And a media PR, a massive media PR success.
11:26So let me, let me open this article up from our favorite publication.
11:34The British Broadcasting Company or the British Broadcasting Corporation or the British Broadcasting Clown Show.
11:42I don't know what the C stands for, but it's the B, it's the B and it's the C.
11:50It's the British Broadcasting Clown Extravaganza.
11:53Here is what the BBC is saying.
11:58Oh, I'm almost at some shade.
12:00I'm almost, almost in the shade.
12:04I am melting.
12:06All right.
12:07Very nice.
12:10Very nice.
12:12All right.
12:12Let's see here.
12:13From the BBC.
12:14It's hard to exaggerate the sheer audacity or ingenuity that went into Ukraine's countrywide assault on Russia's air force.
12:24We cannot possibly verify the Ukrainian claims that the attacks resulted in $7 billion of damage.
12:30But it's clear that Operation Spider's Web was, at the very least, a spectacular propaganda coup.
12:38A spectacular propaganda coup.
12:41Ukrainians are already comparing it with other notable military successes since Russia's full-scale invasion,
12:47including the sinking of the flagship of Russia's Black Sea Fleet, the Moskva,
12:52and the bombing of the Kerch Bridge, both in 2022, as well as a missile attack on Sevastopol Harbor the following year.
13:03The bombing of the Kerch Bridge, which killed civilians, targeted civilians.
13:08We're talking about civilian infrastructure.
13:11The targeting of Sevastopol, which, the bombing of Sevastopol, which also targeted civilians.
13:19I believe that one was done with British storm shadow missiles.
13:23But you can see from the first three paragraphs what the BBC is getting at.
13:29This was, don't look at this as a military victory.
13:34Don't look at this as a massive propaganda coup.
13:39And you go further down in the article, and it says,
13:42Beyond the physical damage, which may or may not be as great as analysts here are assessing,
13:48it's not as great as what Ukraine is assessing.
13:53It's not, it's not a little, but it's not 27 or 40 airplanes.
13:58They were saying 40 airplanes.
13:59They were then saying 27 airplanes.
14:02The actual number, if you go by all the videos that we've seen, all the photos and video evidence,
14:08the actual number of planes that were damaged, and it's not insignificant.
14:13This is significant.
14:15I'm not downplaying this.
14:16But the actual number appears to be between 8 and 10.
14:21That appears to be the verified number.
14:24If you go by images, satellite footage, everything that is on the interwebs.
14:29Maybe it's more than that.
14:31Maybe it's a little bit more.
14:32Maybe it's a little bit less.
14:33But I think that's the actual damage assessment anyway.
14:37Where was I?
14:38Beyond the physical damage, which may or may not be as great as analysts here are assessing,
14:42Operation Spider's Web sends another critical message, not just to Russia, but also to Ukraine's Western allies.
14:48As my colleague, Svyastoslav Komenko, writing for the BBC, Ukrainian service website, recalls a recent encounter with a government official in Kiev.
15:01The official was frustrated.
15:02The biggest problem, the official told Svyastoslav, is that the Americans have convinced themselves we've already lost the war.
15:10And from that assumption, everything else follows.
15:12The BBC is going to give it away as to what the purpose of Operation Spiderweb, what it was all about.
15:19It's going to just say it right out in front.
15:23It's going to say right out there.
15:25It's going to say what this whole thing was about.
15:30And remember, I want everyone to remember, because this is what came to my mind.
15:35Lindsey Graham in Kiev two days ago.
15:38What did Lindsey Graham say?
15:39One day, he said that Ukraine is not losing this war.
15:45That is what Lindsey Graham says.
15:47Ukraine is not losing this war.
15:49There's still a lot of fighting to go on.
15:52And Graham said Ukraine has not lost this war, is not losing this war.
15:57That's what Graham said one day before Operation Spiderweb got the green light to go.
16:03From the quarterly business, Ukraine Journal, which proudly proclaimed,
16:10it turns out Ukraine does have some cards after all.
16:14Today, Alensky played the king of drones.
16:18This, then, is the message Ukrainian delegates carry as they arrive in Istanbul
16:23for a fresh round of ceasefire negotiations with representatives from the Kremlin.
16:29Ukraine is still in the fight.
16:31So the main purpose of this, this Operation Spiderweb was to convince the Trump administration
16:44to convince the collective West, which doesn't really need that much convincing.
16:49I'm talking about the European Union, Canada, Australia, the UK.
16:57But more importantly, to convince the United States that Ukraine is still in this thing
17:02and to give it more money and more weapons.
17:06Don't walk away from Project Ukraine
17:08and give Ukraine, President Trump, United States, Congress,
17:14Congress that needs to approve another huge package, according to Alensky.
17:20What did Alensky say four or five days ago?
17:23That Ukraine needs another 30, 35 or 32 or 38 billion dollars?
17:29Who knows?
17:30It was somewhere in the 30s, the 30 billion dollars.
17:33Yeah, Congress, Trump, give us more money.
17:38Give us more weapons.
17:40We're still in this.
17:42As Lindsey Graham said, the war is not lost.
17:46We still can fight.
17:48Look at what we did without 30 or 40 billion from the United States.
17:53Look at what we did.
17:54Just imagine how we could fight if you gave us another 40 billion or another 30 billion.
18:00That's what this is all about.
18:02And the BBC just comes right out and says it.
18:05And the BBC, in this article, in the quotes that I read you,
18:10they all but admit, kind of admit, they hint,
18:15they hint, if you read the quotes carefully,
18:18at some sort of Lindsey Graham coordination with this Operation Spiderweb.
18:25It's no, maybe it's a coincidence.
18:28I doubt it's a coincidence.
18:30But I'll say it's no coincidence that Lindsey Graham was in Kiev with Blumenthal,
18:35his partner, Dick Blumenthal.
18:36They were in Kiev a day before this strike was launched.
18:45And Lindsey Graham said the words that Ukraine is not losing this war.
18:50And now you have all of the quotes coming out from all of these Ukrainian officials
18:55and journalists and BBC journalists saying that Ukraine has not lost this war.
19:00Ukraine still has some fight in it.
19:02Ukraine can still fight.
19:04And it's all about money.
19:06Money and weapons.
19:10So that's from the BBC.
19:15So let's now talk about what Alensky said.
19:27I've got Alensky's quote here pulled up as well.
19:30By the way, there are a lot of fake videos on X and on Telegram,
19:35which claim to show airplanes being blown up.
19:39And they say that these are are more airplanes that the drones hit.
19:43That is false.
19:45These videos have already been proven to to be from other conflicts, older videos.
19:53And they're passing them off as as strikes on Russian military assets.
20:00But there are a lot of fake videos now on on the interwebs information war, which is taking place right now because Ukraine wants to paint the picture that they destroyed 40 planes or 27 planes or 270 planes.
20:15They want to paint the picture of massive destruction.
20:17Once again, I'm not downplaying what happened.
20:20What happened was significant.
20:22It was it was catastrophic.
20:24How did Russia allow this to happen?
20:26How did they allow this this operation to to go to go through in in five different airfields deep inside of Russia all the way up to the Arctic and deep into Siberia?
20:41Obviously, something is very, very wrong with with Russia's intel and Russia's security.
20:50But from what I understand, we're looking at eight to 10 airplanes that have been partially destroyed or fully destroyed.
20:56Some of the airplanes are not even in production anymore, so they're not going to be replaced.
21:03But.
21:05That's that's the damage.
21:07And we're looking at two airfields that actually got hit.
21:11Kursk.
21:12Kursk was also hit.
21:13Kursk and Riazan, another area close to to Moscow that was also hit with drones, but the airfields were not were not successfully hit.
21:23The drones were launched in these areas.
21:25You also had some more airfields with which were targeted.
21:28But from my understanding of things, the the successful hits happened in two airfields and all the other airfields that were being targeted did not sustain damage.
21:41So with that being said, by the way, here is a post from Big Search.
21:47The drone attacks are novel and very interesting, and the truck launches were quite clever on Ukraine's part.
21:55But the destructive output is still very low compared to conventional strike systems.
22:00Ukraine got more use out of attack arms, and it didn't take them 18 months to set up.
22:06There's a reason Ukraine is still begging for tourists.
22:09This sneaky FPV launches aren't a substitute for real strike capability.
22:14That is exactly right from Big Search.
22:18Absolutely spot on.
22:20This is not something that Ukraine can repeat.
22:24It took them 18 months.
22:26That's what they claim.
22:28They're saying 18 months.
22:30And they want to say 18 months because they want to make it, they want to embarrass Russia.
22:33They want to embarrass Russia.
22:35They want to make it seem as if this was a very complicated and elaborate plan, which obviously it was.
22:43So it took a lot of time.
22:46But they did all of this under Russia's nose.
22:49So it's very embarrassing for Putin, very embarrassing for the Russian military, very embarrassing for Russian intel that for 18 months this was going on.
22:58And I'm going to read you what Alensky said in a minute because Alensky is rubbing it in in his statement.
23:04But this is not something that you can do often or multiple times or twice.
23:11You can do it once and that's about it.
23:13I'm sure that Russian intel now has has all the information on all of the on all of the agents that infiltrated Russia.
23:22I'm sure they understand the the the damage that that has been done from from an intel perspective.
23:32In other words, they've they've they've apprehended many people.
23:36Those people are are without a doubt talking to to to to the FSB, to Russian intel.
23:43And Russia is gathering a lot of information and all of these these sleeper cells and all of these agents that are in Russia or were in Russia or continue to be hiding out in Russia.
23:54Russia, I'm sure that they're going to be either captured or that many of these people have already left and they're probably back in in Ukraine or or whatever countries they they came from.
24:08This is not a substitute for for missile strikes.
24:11This is not a substitute for artillery.
24:14This is not a substitute for for men.
24:17This is not something that's going to win you a war.
24:21That is the point that big surge is making.
24:24And he's right to point out that Ukraine is still begging for the Taurus missiles, of which I am pretty confident they already have in Ukraine.
24:33And Mertz is on his way to D.C.
24:36He is going to talk to Trump and he is going to I imagine he is going to get the green light from the Trump administration to launch those Taurus missiles into Russia.
24:48I am pretty confident that Trump is going to give him the OK, because what Mertz is going to tell him is exactly what the BBC wrote, which is that look at what Ukraine has done without the Taurus missiles, without all of your money, Mr.
25:03President of the United States.
25:04So give them the Taurus missiles or give me the green light so that Germany can launch the Taurus missiles into Russia, because that's in effect what we're going to see happen.
25:15And and they need the United States is targeting and satellite and surveillance and all that stuff to to make it to make it happen with the Taurus missiles.
25:24But Mertz is going to get the OK from from Trump.
25:28And that's going to be the argument that he uses with Trump.
25:32He's going to say, look at what they did with the drones.
25:35Can you imagine? Can you imagine, Mr. President Trump, what leverage you're going to be able to get over Putin as you negotiate?
25:41And Trump is all about leverage. He is dying for some leverage over Putin because he has none.
25:45He has zero. He has zilch. He has nada.
25:47Yeah. And Nietzschevo. And he's dying for some sort of leverage, any leverage.
25:51Just give me some leverage. And that is what Mertz is going to give him.
25:54He is going to give him the leverage of these drone strikes.
25:57He is going to sell him on the leverage of Taurus missiles.
26:01And Trump is going to to be incapable, unable to resist.
26:06He is going to say, OK, do it.
26:08That is exactly how all of this is going to go down.
26:13And and that's the point that big surge is making.
26:14Ukraine even understands the Ukraine military understands that they need missile strikes and Russia will absorb the Taurus missiles.
26:22They'll defend against the Taurus missiles. And then what?
26:26The Taurus missiles are the last wonder weapon.
26:29They'll think of something else.
26:30They'll probably think of another wonder weapon to try and keep this thing going.
26:33But the Taurus missiles, that's the big wonder weapon.
26:36And that is also a big red line for Russia.
26:40Russia missiles into fired by the collective West, fired by Germany into the Russian Federation.
26:46That's going to be a big red line that's going to be crossed.
26:49But what will Russia do to retaliate?
26:51Probably nothing.
26:52They're not going.
26:53I don't think they're going to do much in the instance of the drone strikes either.
26:56I think Putin is going to absorb it.
26:58He's going to probably launch some some missiles.
27:01The Russian military will probably launch some sort of retaliation into Ukraine.
27:05They'll take out some military infrastructure.
27:07They'll take out some military bases.
27:09They'll they'll hit some airfields.
27:12And I think that'll be that.
27:14And that's how he will retaliate against these drone strikes.
27:18And the same will happen with the Taurus missiles.
27:19And then Russia will just continue to do what they're doing, which is this slow attrition warfare.
27:25But what was I what was I saying?
27:29Yes, Alensky Alensky.
27:31This is what he said.
27:32The drone office was at the FSB headquarters.
27:36Alensky brags about the drone attack.
27:38This is coming from the ex-account of Lord Bebo.
27:41Quote, today, a brilliant operation was carried out.
27:44The preparation took over a year and a half.
27:47What's most interesting is that the office of our operation on Russian territory was located directly next to FSB headquarters in one of their regions.
27:57In total, 117 drones were used in the operation with a corresponding number of drone operators involved.
28:0634 percent of the strategic cruise missile carriers stationed at air bases were hit.
28:12We will continue this work.
28:17So he's bragging.
28:20He's bragging.
28:21He's he's mocking Russia.
28:23He's he's rubbing Russia's Russia's face.
28:28He's rubbing their their face or their nose or something in it.
28:32Right.
28:33However, the expression goes.
28:36And.
28:39And yeah, that's that's Alensky statement.
28:47The ego, the ego, the hubris, hubris of Alensky.
28:55So.
28:58Can I sit on this?
29:00I think I can sit on this.
29:03All right.
29:04So that's the that's the news there.
29:07Andre Yermak posted on X an image of a spider's web.
29:11The hubris, man.
29:14The hubris, the ego.
29:18This stuff is not going to age well.
29:20The spider's web that Yermak posted Alensky statements.
29:23It's not going to age well.
29:25Boris Johnson was very excited about this.
29:27He posted on X congratulations to Ukraine on the superb strike against Russia's air power.
29:33The Ukrainians are indomitable and technologically brilliant.
29:38They do their best to hit military targets while Putin indiscriminately slaughters civilians.
29:43Time for the UK and the EU to back Lindsey Graham's bill for secondary sanctions on Russia.
29:47Time to put the squeeze on Putin and get this war over.
29:51Time to place sanctions.
29:53500 percent sanctions.
29:54According to Boris Johnson, the man who sabotaged the peace, the peace deal in 2022.
30:03And he makes the fake claim that civilians were not targeted.
30:07What about the train?
30:09The train that was a civilian target yesterday that that was hit, that a bridge fell on, that Ukraine blew up the bridge as the train was passing under the bridge.
30:23And it fell and killed many people, including children.
30:26How about that, Boris Johnson?
30:28You don't want to talk about that, though, do you?
30:30That terrorist attack is the terrorist attack that I believe, I would guess, angers many, many people inside of Russia.
30:43Because once again, you have a terrorist attack against civilians, specifically targeting civilians like Krokus and so many other attacks against civilians that Ukraine has launched against Russia.
30:58And you're not going to Russia is not going to be able to to go after the people that that organized this terrorist attack.
31:07And I think that's going to be the upsetting and frustrating part.
31:11But civilians were absolutely targeted and killed yesterday in in these strikes in the Russian Federation.
31:22Seven, seven, eight people, maybe more, died in the train attack.
31:27Actually, Lavrov had a phone call with Rubio.
31:33Lavrov had a phone call with the U.S. Secretary of State.
31:36According to the Russian Foreign Ministry, Rubio expressed sincere condolences on the civilian casualties resulting from the bombing of railway infrastructure in the Brydiansk and Kursk regions on June 1st.
31:48How about that, huh?
31:51The United States, Rubio, sent the U.S., expressed the U.S. sincere condolences on the civilian casualties, the United States, the Secretary of State, the U.S., which is a participant in this conflict, right?
32:11A participant in this war that is fighting this proxy war against Russia, the Secretary of State calls the Foreign Minister of Russia and expresses condolences for the terrorist attacks against these trains.
32:25And remember the New York Times article?
32:27Was it a New York Times or Washington Post?
32:29I believe it was both.
32:30Both the New York Times and the Washington Post, which came out with an article three years ago, two years ago, two years ago, where they talked about how the CIA, they trained the SBU and they trained military intel and Budanov.
32:47They specifically named Budanov and how they trained all these people to fight these types of wars, to commit these types of terrorist actions.
33:02I mean, the New York Times detailed all of this in an article from two years ago.
33:06And they talk about the U.S. CIA training Ukraine intel to do these things.
33:17And now you have Rubio sending condolences to Lavrov.
33:25There it is.
33:27What can you say?
33:29What can one say?
33:31Lindsey Graham posted the ever-resourceful Ukraine-used creative drone warfare tactics to successfully attack Russia bombers and military assets used to kill Ukrainian citizens and destroy their country.
33:45Russia indiscriminately kills men, women, and children.
33:48It's time for the world to act decisively against Russia's aggression by holding China and others accountable for buying cheap Russian oil that props up Putin's war machine.
33:59If you want this war to end, push China to help end it.
34:02It's China's fault.
34:04Embargo.
34:05Embargo China.
34:07Embargo Russia.
34:08Embargo India.
34:09Embargo the world is what Lindsey Graham is calling for.
34:11So there's a lot of talk about why the bombers were out in the open.
34:24And there are some people who are saying, some analysts who are saying that the bombers were out in the open.
34:28Because of requirements from the START-3 treaty, which was suspended by Russia.
34:40It's the START-3 treaty is running until 2026, 2000, February 2026.
34:48And then it has to be renewed.
34:50And what the START treaty says is that the nuclear assets like bombers, nuclear bombers, stuff like that, has to be out in the open for transparency.
34:57So the U.S. and Russia can see what the other side is doing.
35:01And Russia suspended the sharing of information.
35:06And I believe the U.S. also suspended the sharing of information a couple of years ago.
35:10But they're still signatories to the treaty, though they suspended it.
35:13So it's a bit of a gray area.
35:14But one of the explanations as to why the bombers were out in the open could be that even though Russia suspended the sharing of information in accordance with the START-3 treaty,
35:28maybe they still had the bombers out in the open in order to comply with the transparency of the START-3.
35:33I don't know.
35:34I'm just saying what some analysts are saying as to why the bombers were so exposed.
35:41So we have the Istanbul talks, which are taking place.
35:49They started late, a couple hours late.
35:52And we'll see what happens there.
35:54We have, according to Reuters, we have the full Ukraine memorandum.
36:01Reuters has published it, which is the Kellogg 22-point peace plan.
36:05That's pretty much what it is.
36:06So I don't even need to get into any details.
36:0930-day full ceasefire, all-for-all POW exchange.
36:15Alensky wants to meet Putin face-to-face with Trump there, of course.
36:19No limits on the size of Ukraine's military.
36:23No blocking Ukraine from entering NATO.
36:25Ukraine can enter NATO.
36:27And there will be no recognition of Russia's territorial gains or anything like that.
36:32And, of course, reparations, pay to Ukraine, $300 billion going to Ukraine, tribunals, all of that stuff.
36:39Everything that's in Kellogg's plan, the freeze plan, the 22-point plan, the DMZ plan.
36:44Call it whatever you want.
36:46That's what Ukraine is presenting to Russia.
36:48We pretty much know the Russian plan as well, Istanbul+.
36:51We await in the next couple of hours from when I'm recording this video for statements to be made by both sides.
37:01Probably by both sides when the talks conclude.
37:06Did Trump know about this strike?
37:10Did Trump know?
37:12Was he briefed about the Operation Spiderweb?
37:17Was he briefed Axios?
37:19They posted an article yesterday claiming that Ukraine informed Trump.
37:25That's what Axios said.
37:26Ukraine informed Trump of the strike.
37:28And then, almost immediately, less than an hour, less than an hour later, Axios puts out a retraction.
37:37And they say, we made a mistake.
37:38Like, Trump was not informed, the White House was not informed on Operation Spiderweb.
37:44So, something strange is going on.
37:47I imagine Axios got a call from the White House, from the State Department, from the Pentagon, from everybody.
37:52And they told Axios, you better retract this story.
37:55You better take it down.
37:57Is it true?
37:58Is it false?
38:01You know, if Trump did not post what he did on Truth Social a couple of days ago,
38:06I would have said that Trump was not briefed on Operation Spiderweb.
38:11But that post on Truth Social, it surely makes it look like Trump knew.
38:21Trump was told something.
38:22Was he told the whole plan?
38:24Possibly.
38:25Was he given a hint as to what's going to happen?
38:28Possibly.
38:30But he was definitely told something.
38:32Because he posted a couple of days ago, what Vladimir Putin doesn't realize is that,
38:37if it weren't for me, lots of really bad things would have already happened to Russia.
38:42And I mean really bad.
38:43He's playing with fire.
38:44However, that post, that post to me, reveals that Trump knew something.
38:51Here's what I think happened.
38:52How am I doing out of time?
38:53All right, I'm going to wrap this video up.
38:56Here's what I think happened.
38:58I talked about this a couple of days ago from Limassol.
39:02But I was thinking about the Taurus missiles.
39:04So I'm probably wrong about that.
39:05What actually happened was Operation Spiderweb.
39:07So let me explain.
39:08Ukraine had a plan, the U.S., when I mean Ukraine, U.S., NATO, Collective West.
39:15They had a plan of massive drone strikes, 1,000-plus drones, starting from May 9th Victory Day,
39:22going for a month, which was going to hit Russia.
39:25And it was going to give Trump leverage, military leverage, as he negotiates with Putin.
39:30Trump got very excited.
39:31He was told by Kellogg and all of these very smart, brilliant U.S. officials and generals
39:36that this would give Trump the leverage that he needs.
39:38He said, go ahead, launch this massive drone strike into Russia for the next month
39:42and deliver zero results.
39:46And Trump got angry.
39:48And I'm just guessing here.
39:49I'm just trying to guess as to what happened.
39:51So this is just pure guess.
39:53I don't have any inside information.
39:55But I believe that, at least the way I'm visualizing it,
39:59Trump got very angry at the fact that he was promised one thing.
40:02He was promised leverage over Putin, military leverage.
40:05He didn't get it with the drone swarm strikes.
40:10And he was then told, I don't know to what detail he was told.
40:17He was then told that, look, just don't get too angry.
40:21We have another operation that we can launch.
40:26Operation Spider's Web.
40:30And that's going to give you the military leverage.
40:33It's going to be very, very bad for Russia.
40:35It's going to be very embarrassing.
40:36It's going to do a lot of damage.
40:39We've got it all set up.
40:40What do you think, Mr. President?
40:44And Trump probably said, all right, let's see if that gives me the leverage.
40:50Two, three days ago, I thought they told Trump the Taurus missiles was going to be the next operation.
40:57And that was going to give Trump leverage.
41:00But I believe what they told the Trump administration, what they told Trump is, is we've got Operation Spider's Web.
41:06Now they're going to tell Trump the Taurus.
41:07Now they're going to move on to the Taurus missiles.
41:10But they told Trump Operation Spider's Web.
41:15I don't know how much of the details he knew about it.
41:17Once again, I'm just guessing.
41:18And that's when Trump posted this on X, on Truth Social and on X.
41:27Putin's playing with fire and some really bad things are going to happen.
41:32That message on truth, that's very damaging for Trump.
41:39Very, very damaging.
41:41That's what I think happened.
41:43But I could be 1,000% wrong, a million percent wrong.
41:47But it does make sense.
41:50It does make sense as to how much Trump knew or didn't know.
41:57And with that Truth Social post, it does look like he knew something.
42:01He knew something bad was coming.
42:03And then, of course, you have Lindsey Graham in Kiev.
42:07And I think we all get the picture.
42:09Poland had elections.
42:11And to my surprise, I believe to many people's surprise, the Poland's first candidate, Law and Justice Nowraszki, won the elections.
42:23Very close race.
42:24He got about 51%.
42:25The pro-Donald Tusk, super uber globalist Tusk candidate, got 49%.
42:33Very, very close elections.
42:36So a big deal in Poland.
42:40Did Poland get an Orban type of leader?
42:44No.
42:46They got more of a Maloney.
42:47That would be my guess.
42:48Is they got more of a Maloney than an Orban.
42:50But we'll wait and judge, see how he does, see what his policies are.
42:56He's spoken against Ukraine, getting into NATO.
43:00He's spoken against the Vandorites.
43:03We'll see.
43:04We will see.
43:05He's not someone who's friendly to Russia.
43:07He's not someone that wants to see peace with Russia.
43:11Not at all.
43:12He's not someone who's against, at least I haven't gotten the picture, that he's against NATO or the EU.
43:20I mean, he's Law and Justice.
43:21He's Duda.
43:22He's part of Duda's group.
43:25Law and Justice-backed, Nowraszki.
43:28But he has said that Ukraine is not going to get into NATO.
43:32And he has said that the whole Banderite issue needs to be resolved.
43:37And he's been very firm on that point, the Banderite issue.
43:41But Alexander said that Nowraszki, in a video he said Nowraszki is more Maloney than Orban.
43:49But we'll have to wait and see.
43:51And let's do a clown world.
43:54And we'll do a very quick clown world, Lindsey Graham.
43:57Lindsey Graham, this is a U.S. senator, posted on X.
43:59A photo, an article from the Times of Israel.
44:04Greta Thunberg sets sail with Gaza flotilla that aims to break Israeli naval blockade.
44:12And Lindsey Graham says, hope Greta and her friends can swim.
44:15That's a U.S. senator, everybody.
44:19I don't even need to comment.
44:21That's Lindsey Graham, folks.
44:23An embarrassment to the United States of America.
44:27Lindsey Graham, a U.S. senator, posts that on X.
44:33Anyway, that's the video, theduran.locals.com.
