1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,160 Speaker 1: No such thing as a ceasefire. This morning. Unfortunately, it's 2 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,960 Speaker 1: all breaking down in the Middle East. Israel is coming 3 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,320 Speaker 1: out with more fighting talk, the rockets are back on. 4 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 1: And as for Ukraine, Trump hasn't exactly cloaked himself in 5 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:16,319 Speaker 1: glory with this so called deal. And I say so 6 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:20,800 Speaker 1: called deal because it hasn't actually held yet. First, it 7 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: was only partial, no full cease fire like Zelensky had 8 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: agreed to. Second, it covered energy and infrastructure, a thirty 9 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 1: day pause for them. But already the Russians have fired 10 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 1: at energy facilities, They've already fired at Rhodes, They've already 11 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,199 Speaker 1: taken on two hospitals. Now, if you go and have 12 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 1: a look at the redoubt from the call between Trump 13 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: and Putin, it says Putin gave the order immediately, gave 14 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: the order to his top brass to stop the firing. Right, So, 15 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: either the military is going rogue and firing anyway, or 16 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 1: Putin's up to his old tricks. Actually, both of those 17 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 1: things could be happening at the same time time. How 18 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: with Russia, they could both be true, right, But either way, 19 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 1: for Trump, the big game he talks, the art of 20 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 1: the deal, has just hit a Kremlin wall in Trump's 21 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 1: favor reputation wise, is at least people are talking about peace. Right, 22 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,479 Speaker 1: We've just had three years of war. Whenever you get 23 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,759 Speaker 1: a world leader meeting, it's talk about more and more 24 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,960 Speaker 1: and more more war, a ceasefire and armistice, a peace 25 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 1: steal whatever. These things require action, the act of putting 26 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:39,399 Speaker 1: down your weapons, a truce if you will, that that 27 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: act first needs talks, and at least Trump can argue 28 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,400 Speaker 1: at least the phones are ringing. 29 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 2: For more from the Mic Asking Breakfast.
