1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,920 Speaker 1: Trump's hit pools on military aid to Ukraine. The White 2 00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,880 Speaker 1: House says the pools could be lifted as Zelensky demonstrates 3 00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:09,520 Speaker 1: quote a new commitment to negotiations to end the war 4 00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:14,080 Speaker 1: in Ukraine. Malcolm Nance's intelligence and foreign policy analyst. He's 5 00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,759 Speaker 1: a former US Navy senior Petty office. He's also fought 6 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 1: on the front lines in Ukraine. And he's with me now, Malcolm, Hello, good, 7 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:23,960 Speaker 1: good to be here. 8 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:30,479 Speaker 2: So this is quite a big deal. Yeah, it's a 9 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 2: very big deal. What's happening in the United States is 10 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:38,520 Speaker 2: nothing short of international chaos. And you know, I'm speaking 11 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,559 Speaker 2: to you as an American citizen, former US military, but 12 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 2: I'm also a former Ukrainian Army legionnaire. And you know 13 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,599 Speaker 2: I served with people from New Zealand, including one who 14 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,159 Speaker 2: was killed in twenty twenty three in combat. And so 15 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 2: to see the United States withdraw support so Donald Trump 16 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 2: could live out some fantasy to get the Nobel Prize 17 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:01,279 Speaker 2: is an absolute disgrace. 18 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 1: What will the Ukrainians do without that support. 19 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 2: I just want to put something into perspective for you. 20 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 2: Ukraine has been fighting since twenty fourteen without the full 21 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 2: support of the United States and right now, US support 22 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 2: is twenty percent of the hard weapons that they're getting 23 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 2: from that support their combat mission against Russia. The kind 24 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 2: of weapons and equipment they were getting from the United 25 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 2: States can be backseled by Europe. We've already seen the 26 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 2: European Alliance come together to give them the hard artillery 27 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 2: shells that they need. Germany's Rhine Mattal has just finished 28 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 2: a factory in Ukraine that can produce a million shells 29 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 2: a year. Ukraine has radically changed warfare with their own 30 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 2: indigenous homemade drones that are flown by fiber optics so 31 00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 2: they can't be jammed. Where they will black initially will 32 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 2: be some of the more advanced technologies, you know, some 33 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,239 Speaker 2: of the missiles that are used in Hemar multiple rocket 34 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 2: system replacing damaged Bradley infantry fighting vehicles and their supplies. 35 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:19,119 Speaker 2: But Europe can backfill all of that too. Ukraine can 36 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 2: will not lose this war because they are losing America's support. 37 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 2: America is losing because of the Trump regime walking away 38 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 2: from freedom, liberty, and democracy for a country that is 39 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 2: on the front line against patholitarianism. 40 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 1: All right, Malcolm, thank you for that perspective.

Former US Navy senior 42 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 1: pity officer obviously fought in Ukraine alongside a New Zealand 43 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: soldier he mentions in the interview. 44 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 2: For more from Hither Duplessy Allen Drive, listen live to 45 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 2: news Talks it'd be from four pm weekdays, or follow 46 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 2: the podcast on iHeartRadio.
