1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,680
Speaker 1: Diplomacy's gone to the dogs. Remember it was only a

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 1: month ago Trump was parading around in Alaskan Air Force

3
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 1: base talking up peace for Ukraine, and then within weeks

4
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: Putin sends eight hundred drones in a single night across

5
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: the boarder, biggest attack of the war so far. And

6
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,639
Speaker 1: he's now entered NATO airspace. The fighter jets are scrambled,

7
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 1: the alarm bells ringing in Brussels. Does any of this

8
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: sound like progress to you? Does any of this sound

9
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: like diplomacy is doing a damned thing to stop regular

10
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: folk being slaughtered in the crossfire? No, of course not. Meanwhile, Netanya,

11
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 1: who's firing missiles into Doha again? And who is he

12
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 1: aiming for? The Hummas lead negotiator, the same guy who

13
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: as recently his last week was being given ceasefire details

14
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 1: from the Americans via the Egyptians and the Qataris if

15
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: you really want peace, you don't fire missiles at the

16
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: guy you're negotiating with. Now, if you're Hamas, what are

17
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: you going to do now that the place you thought

18
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: was safe to have talks no longer feel so safe.

19
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: Some in believe the whole thing was a setup. According

20
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: to the BBC, the American ceasefire proposal was all a

21
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: trick to get them in one place at one time

22
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: and then bang bomb them, blow them up. And you

23
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: can't blame them for thinking that, can you. It doesn't

24
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,479
Speaker 1: matter where you look, which continent, which war, diplomacy doesn't

25
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: seem to be working. The Americans look weak, Trump looks weak.

26
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: Net Yahoo's taking him for a ride and putin while

27
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 1: he couldn't care less. And the one guy in the

28
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: world sitting back, watching, smiling, biding his time and growing

29
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: a military empire is one shi Jingping of China. For
