Speaker 1: International Correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance, Peace of Mind

00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: for New Zealand Business.

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:08,719
Speaker 2: Jonathan Kursley, US correspondence with US.

4
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: Hey, Jonathan Heather, are always good talking to the listeners now.

5
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 2: But cheeky of Russia to be flowing the drones around Poland.

6
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, a little bit cheeky for them, particularly after this

7
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: summit with Donald Trump a matter of a week, a

8
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 1: few weeks or so ago. Look, yes, we're seeing reports

9
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: of Russian drones, Rainian drones fined by Russia into Poland airspace.

10
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 1: It sparked a lot of reaction from nay donations. We

11
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 1: saw fighter jets scrambled, Poland airports closed. Still some sort

12
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: of investigation as to whether these actually are Russian drones

13
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: going into Poland airspace. It would be incredibly serious. You've

14
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: got to keep in mind Article five of NATA that

15
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 1: says essentially an attack on one is an attack on all.

16
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: So this is going to be very much a wash

17
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: this space. What is Russia's explanation for these drones going

18
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: into Poland air space? What is the response, what is

19
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: the reason behind sending in NATO fighter jets essentially to

20
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: try and scramble into the airspace. It's very much a

21
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: fraught situation, given the conflict in Ukraine, given the meeting

22
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: we saw with Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. But we

23
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: keep saying the US president has given Russian President Vladimir

24
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: Putin time and time and time and time again to

25
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: try and resolve this conflict. He showed no intention of

26
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: doing so. And yet again we're seeing another move. Is

27
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: this being fraught with danger? Is this a move to

28
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: try and test NATO? We're going to see a reaction,

29
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: likely out of Moscow in the coming out.

30
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 2: Well, I just you know, I can't help but shake

31
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 2: the feel I can't. I can't shake the feeling that

32
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 2: Putin is taunting Trump because he is. Since the meeting

33
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 2: in Alaska, there has been no indication that Putin intends

34
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 2: to meet with Zelensky, And if anything, he's kind of

35
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 2: pushing the line again, isn't he.

36
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: Well, he's very much pushing the line. I mean, you

37
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: look at the offer he made to Vladimir Zelenski, which

38
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: has come to Moscow, which is essentially, if you like,

39
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: that's some sort of suicide mission for the Ukrainian president,

40
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: the idea that he would go into Moscow for talks

41
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: to Flatimir, who is just completely off the cards. It's

42
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: just not going to happen. So the offer he's put

43
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: on the table is not viable. And now we're seeing

44
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: the possibility he's taunting nater nations with this idea of

45
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: sending drones and pushing that boundary once again. So what

46
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: is the response going to be? I mean, we're sending

47
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: the US President out at dinner tonight in Washington, DC,

48
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: essentially trying to say he's making Washington DC streets saved

49
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: enough to go and eat dinner there. I've been there

50
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: in months gone by, and certainly it's been safe to

51
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: go out and eat dinner. There's been no idea that

52
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: you can't go into a restaurant. There's been no idea

53
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: you can't go and have a meal with friends. But

54
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: the US President is certainly trying to make his stance

55
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: that he is making Americans safer. But his idea of

56
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: solving the Russia U Crank conflict certainly seems well a

57
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: long way away from what he initially thought.

58
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:52,119
Speaker 2: Anyway, Now, did the White House warn katat ll not, Well.

59
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: You're essentially getting washed in mixed messaging here. I mean,

60
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: what the White House said earlier on today was that

61
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: the White House had received intelligence from its military officials

62
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: that Israel was launching this strike into Katara. What we

63
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: heard from White House Press Secutor of Caroline Leavitt was

64
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: that Steve Wikoff, the Middle East end boy, had gone

65
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 1: to Cutter and essentially said, hey, look, this attack is

66
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: in coming. Kata came back within a matter of an

67
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: hour or so and said, well, I actually know. What

68
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: we got was a warning as the strikes were already happening.

69
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 1: And Donald Trump later clarified that, essentially saying that yes, look,

70
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: we tried to inform them. It was a little bit

71
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: too late, but we did what we could, is essentially

72
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: what he said. He has added that he will have

73
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: more to say in the coming day or so about

74
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: these Israeli strikes inside doa an attack that has been

75
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: condemned by the United Kingdom, by France, by Arab nations

76
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: in the Middle East. Australia has raised its concerns. We've

77
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: heard in the past that the New Zealand Prime Minister

78
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: has said, essentially that Israeli pro minist Benjamin Nja, who

79
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: has lost the plot the words a couple of weeks

80
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: ago from New Zealand's Prime minister. So look, there are

81
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: certainly many eyes watching this and watching the Israeli attack.

82
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: And Donald Trump says he is not happy by that.

83
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: We heard that in the SoundBite you played before. He

84
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: is not pleased with the way that this has gone

85
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: over the course of the last twenty four hours. But again,

86
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 1: what you're dealing with is with this international conflict, and

87
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: which with this US president is an idea of watch

88
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: this space. But it is a matter of how long

89
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: can the world continue to watch this space, because these

90
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: are conflicts that he has said he could resolve and

91
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 1: or could resolve quickly, and he hasn't been able to

92
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 1: do so yet.

93
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, very good point. Hey, thank you very much, Jonathan.
