1
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 1: From the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the George Washington

2
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:11,040
Speaker 1: Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Jetty Armstrong and Jetty Show.

3
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: I think it deserves serious consideration. I think we need

4
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: to look at the gamut of options that are out

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: there for us. We need to calculate the risk and

6
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 1: be smart about it. I think you have to at

7
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 1: that point consider a note fly zone. I think is

8
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: a pretty logical next step. But I'll give you a

9
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: halfway house. That would be going back to the idea

10
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: of getting fighters in the hands of the Ukrainians, and

11
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: I get all the puts and takes of that. You

12
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: want Ukraine to do the note they would basically be

13
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 1: the ones to do it, not NATO. Is that is

14
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 1: that the goal on this is so that's Admiral James

15
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: Stravitis who is on WELSO with a former ambassador and

16
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: they both were for a no fly zone and the

17
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: admirals take I saw him on MSNBC today he said,

18
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: might take from looking at the talk shows over the

19
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: weekend and and statements out of the White Houses that

20
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: everything is now on the table. So, as I was

21
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: saying last week, I feel like at least the the mood,

22
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: the weight of the conversation is moving toward a no

23
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: fly zone. Mike Lions did tweet out yesterday it would

24
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 1: invite even a small nuclear response, possibly on the homeland

25
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: from Russia, which is a big deal. Hello. Well, speaking

26
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: of Mike Clions, military analyst of my clients, West Point graduate,

27
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: served with various American military here. He organizations both on

28
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: the home front and in Europe and in uh Iraq

29
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: through his career. Joins US. Now, Mike Lions, how are you,

30
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: sir guys? It's to make amazing to me if you know.

31
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: I don't want to go against the fourth star general obviously,

32
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: but the fourth star making that kind of comment is

33
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: almost irresponsible in terms of what all the nuance that

34
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: has to go in. Did he kind of then say, oh,

35
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: it's because the Ukraines are going to do the new

36
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: flight zone. Do you think they would do that now

37
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: if they could twenty nine nig airplanes and not changing

38
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: the calculus on that. I'm just surprised that we're there

39
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 1: that's being floated politically still on any level here, that

40
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: is completely off the table unless we want to risk

41
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: having an attack on our homeland, our attack in a

42
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,399
Speaker 1: European city or something, because that's really what it would

43
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 1: lead to. Well, so I was a little concerned over

44
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: the weekend. UM, modern journalism being what it is in

45
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: the twenty four hour news cycle and everything like that.

46
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 1: Is this a bad idea that we're nailing so many

47
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: things down? Um? And maybe all this talk of the

48
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: no flight his own is just to have it out there.

49
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: So Putin thinks that it's possibly on the table because

50
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: this constantly taking everything, a bunch of things off the

51
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: table to satisfy Chuck tadd and meet the presser whoever,

52
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: I'm not any good, right, And that's there's an argument

53
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: to that, But I don't think he is of that ilk.

54
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: He has his own agenda and doesn't necessarily look at

55
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: what's he sees what's done and not what we're doing

56
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: as opposed to what we're not doing. I understand how

57
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 1: that you could dissuaded by that, But that's not the

58
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: kind of enemy we're dealing with. That. That's again we're

59
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: projecting our values on our own way and trying to

60
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: psychoanalyze our behavior. You're right, the administration is putting all

61
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: these things that are out there that we're not doing

62
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: but the bottom line is we aren't doing them. We're

63
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: not going to do them, and so so it's fine.

64
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: And in some ways he knows that that he random

65
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: and Putin does control this whole thing because he's the

66
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,119
Speaker 1: one who invaded. When I hear Mitt Romney say things

67
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 1: like we've gotta, you know, turn the tide on him

68
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: and we've gotta get back in control. No no, no, no,

69
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: there's no us controlling. This is his war. This is

70
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,959
Speaker 1: this regional conflict that exists there. You want to insert

71
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: yourself in it, you want to go to the war

72
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: with the nuclear power, then then let's have that conversation

73
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: and see what that leads us to. So again, this

74
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: is not about trying to gain some kind of upper

75
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: hand with him. We're not in this conflict. We really aren't.

76
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: Other than supporting Ukraine, like we are pouring ammunition and

77
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: pouring supplies and that's really all we can do. And

78
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: you your tweet was, so you think Putin would actually

79
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: strike the United States with a nuclear weapon, And I

80
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: think it's possible. I think that we have to consider it.

81
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: I mean, and it's not it's not going to be

82
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: something that's going to come from the ural mountains, it's

83
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: going to travel across space. You know, we're gonna have

84
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: time to think about it. Where he's gonna take a submarine,

85
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: he's gonna get it close to he's going to get

86
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: close to our shores. He's gonna launch a weapon. He's

87
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: gonna launch something that could hit our our homeland. I

88
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: don't see. I don't see if if we decide to

89
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: put in an off fly zone and take a Patriot

90
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,679
Speaker 1: missile and fire it from Poland, fire from a NATO

91
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 1: country and it chases down a MiG SOVIETNIG plane over

92
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: Russia and and kill the Russian pilot over Russia, I

93
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: don't see how he's not responding. I don't see. I

94
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: don't see what is what he's got to respond. I

95
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: don't totally crap. This is a conversation. Well, indeed it is.

96
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 1: And and you know, Mike, these are extremely difficult questions

97
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: and only hindsight is in these matters. But if if

98
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: we are to preclude, to eliminate any action that might

99
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: provoke putin to do of things you've said, let's bring

100
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: us a conversation, all right, what if there is an

101
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 1: accidental strike in Poland? What if he uh you know, Yeah,

102
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: there are, there are a number of what ifs. At

103
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: some point, I think we need to be willing to

104
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: do things that might provoke a horrific, cataclysmic reaction or

105
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 1: we're paralyzed. I'm not sure where that is or what

106
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: that is. I think he has to do that first. So,

107
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: for example, what happened over the weekend, the Interdictions strike

108
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 1: deep in western Ukraine. That was a huge risk for

109
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: them because they had to do that with pilots. They

110
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: don't have cruise missiles that have enough accuracy, believe it

111
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: or not, that can hit a target that could be

112
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 1: sixteen miles within a Polish border, within the NATO border.

113
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 1: So he put min at risk in order to do

114
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 1: that mission. Why he knew it was important, I'm suppose

115
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 1: he didn't do it before, but he knew that he

116
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: couldn't make a mistake on it either. He knew he

117
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: couldn't just fire a bunch of cruise missiles at it

118
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: and have him possibly miss and strike Poland, because then

119
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: then possibly then we could respond and do something. Because

120
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: because if we entered this battle conventionally, if we decided

121
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: to come in and we have eight and lined up

122
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: someplace and bet that convoy, for example, that forty mile

123
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: convoy in done in four hours. I mean it's molten

124
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: rubbish in four hours. That the balance of power gets

125
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: tipped so quickly back on the side of Ukraine that

126
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 1: the level of embarrassment that Vladimir Putin suffers is amazing.

127
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,679
Speaker 1: So again he's cognizant of the fact that he doesn't

128
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: want to bring us in the red line. Everyone talks

129
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: about the red line, the red lines, the border. That's

130
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: the bottom line. There's no chemicals, there's no nuclear The

131
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: red line is the Ukraine board. As long as if

132
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: that's not violated, there's not much we can do, I think,

133
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: at least offensively in order to stop him. And then

134
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: of course, if we are, for instance, we take out

135
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 1: that convoy and he gets that on the news in Russia,

136
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,559
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, the public opinion swings towards

137
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 1: him as he gets to say he's at war with

138
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: the the evil United States. Right, So the hundred and

139
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: forty million people right now who are confused about what's

140
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: going on are no longer confused because now NATO has

141
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: attacked Russia, attacked the Motherland. They start the music up,

142
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: they start all those old videos up about the Great War.

143
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 1: Here we go. At the end of the day, Russia

144
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: has capacity. They do have things that they can do.

145
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: They have those nuclear weapons, they have they have a

146
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: lot of different capacity. Now their military has failed miserably,

147
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: no question about it. The fact that they know Ukraine

148
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: is not even close to being a peer competitor with them.

149
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: But the fact that they've had to standoff for now,

150
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: which is every day that goes by Ukraine actually gets stronger,

151
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: standoff gets more. I'm not gonna start to be worried

152
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: about stinger missiles that are inside there. Let's hope they'll

153
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: find their way back to shores. Hopefully I have some

154
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: accountability about those, because those weapons can find their way

155
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: outside of Ukraine into the hands of other people. So

156
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: there's a down side also of putting a lot of

157
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: this material into the Ukraine military and making sure that

158
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: they use it. Military analysts Mike Lions on the line, Mike,

159
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: I know your student not only of military strategy, but

160
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: society too. It is going to be difficult to contain

161
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: the passions of the Western world when the videos start

162
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: to emerge from say Mariopola or or or Kiev. When

163
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: it finally falls of literally starved children, and and it

164
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: scenes of horror and carnage and or maybe or maybe

165
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: Zelinsky on his knees somewhere. So again, and we need

166
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: to get him out of there. He's got to survive this.

167
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: I still think that the Israeli Prime Minister, when he

168
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: went there a few weeks ago, I think he whispered

169
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: in his ear said, look, it's not going to be

170
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: a good look if you assassinate a Jewish head of state.

171
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: We're not gonna look filing upon that um. And we

172
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: need to get the Chinese in the game. I know,

173
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: I think we're meeting with them this afternoon in Rome,

174
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: but basically sell them, you better get your tach dog

175
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: on a leash here, and you better figure this out

176
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: because we're gonna start sanctioning you. We've got to get tougher.

177
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: We have to show power in places like that. About

178
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: with the Chinese and other influences of Russia, I mean,

179
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 1: Russia asking to Chinese for military and logistical supplies? Is

180
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: that a serious request? And the Chinese are actually gonna

181
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: consider it, So again, that's they're not even a superpower anymore.

182
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: If that, If that is the case, so that's where

183
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: this is going to if we're gonna be in on this,

184
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 1: so does the Chinese, and the Chinese need to get

185
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: the Russians on the leash pretty quick. I was watching

186
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: David Martin on CBS News yesterday. He said, Russia in

187
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks is going to have to

188
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 1: resupply either people, are equipment or something. I mean, because

189
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: they didn't expect this to last that long. Does that

190
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: sound accurate to you, Yeah, there's no second echelon here. Normally,

191
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: Russian doctrine deploys in multiple waves, um and they have

192
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: different groups that come on and kind of passed through,

193
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: and but this wasn't the plan here. This was a

194
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 1: special operations group. So for example, they're eventually they're running

195
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: out of animal they running out of artillery in these cities,

196
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:37,319
Speaker 1: and now those were those the animalyts on those convoys,

197
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: and it's a lot of things that are in there.

198
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: They're a're running out, so they can't even feed their soldiers.

199
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: Every day you see these stories of the Russian tanks

200
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: being blown up and the farmers taking them and they're

201
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: abandoning their troops. It is it is mind boggling to me.

202
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: That they haven't thought any of this through. So again,

203
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 1: and the Ukrainians live to survive one day at a time.

204
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,319
Speaker 1: Right now, if if they can can continue to take

205
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: the pounding and they fight this to a stance, the

206
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: they end up winning. That's exactly where I was going

207
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: to go, Say, the major city's fall and Zelinski either

208
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: heads out of town or is killed or what have you.

209
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: What is the Russian occupation of Ukraine look like in

210
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: terms of numbers of forces, the cost, etcetera. Yeah, not

211
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: very long. You thought Afghanistan was bad, and you thought

212
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: some of those other things were bad. And again, given

213
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: the fact that they won't be able to secure the border,

214
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 1: that the guerrilla math would mean let's say twenty million

215
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: men remaining in Ukraine, because you know, the women are

216
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: out in children around, a lot of people are out,

217
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: let's say so, so the guerrilla math is anywhere from

218
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,439
Speaker 1: one to two million soldiers that the Russians would need

219
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: inside inside of Ukraine only in order to try to

220
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 1: pacify that they don't have. They don't have those kind

221
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,559
Speaker 1: of resources. So so again there will be entire groups

222
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: formed in the western part of Ukraine that will come

223
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: in and launch massive attacks on Russian soldiers and there

224
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: won't be a Russian officer safe in any city in Ukraine.

225
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: They won't have a cup of tea thinking there'll be

226
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,319
Speaker 1: poison that don't be able to turn a light switch

227
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: on the they're gonna get blow up. They won't be

228
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: able to turn the ignition on a car they're going

229
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: it's not going to get blown up. That's the kind

230
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: of level of inserviency that's going to take place because

231
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 1: the whole world is going to help with them, help

232
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: with them too as well. Yeah, I was gonna mention that.

233
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: So I saw a report last night and how there

234
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: are soldiers coming in from all over the world. Americans, Canadians, Australians,

235
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: Brits that have fought in wars. They're there, you know,

236
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: seasoned soldiers that are going to Ukraine to fight. Are

237
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 1: we gonna be able to continue to get weapons into

238
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 1: their hands throughout this Yeah, So again they're going to

239
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: try to interdict those supply convoys. I think they're going

240
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: to enter the border with them in hand, but they're

241
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: eventually gonna need to be resupplied as well. I'm not

242
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: necessarily a fan of that because we see that the

243
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: Russians are bringing in Syrians and whether or not that's

244
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: also a story we remains to be seen. The fact

245
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 1: that Syrian fighters are gonna come and help this again,

246
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: good luck bringing those guys into that country and not

247
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: being identified as Syrian fighters, and how the people will

248
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: react to that as well. Um So, this is just

249
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 1: becoming a mess, and it's be the Russians just unable

250
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: on any level to control it, and it's gotten, it

251
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 1: gets more out of hand for them every day, and

252
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: it's and it's completely outside of their kind of space

253
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: that they thought they were going to be in this now.

254
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 1: They thought, but this point this would be over and

255
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: done controlled and they'd be honest to the next thing. Uh,

256
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: And they're now completely in a situation where I don't

257
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 1: I don't see the offer for them right now. Great analysis,

258
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: Mike Lions. We can't properly express our appreciation. Great stuff.

259
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: Thank you, gi me yep. Absolutely, I absolutely love how

260
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 1: Mike does not give a single crap about being in

261
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: the mainstream or going with anybody's flow or anything. He

262
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: just calls it as the season. We got to discuss

263
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: some of that. Holy cow, I never thought we'd have

264
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: a conversation like that text is FO five k f

265
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: TC
