00:00:00British establishment is not to be underestimated, you know.

00:00:03They are somehow, in some way that is not clear and not disclosed,

00:00:10they still have disproportionate power.

00:00:12IDF. IDF is disintegrating.

00:00:17People are refusing to serve.

00:00:19Active duty soldiers are absolutely exhausted, demoralized.

00:00:23Unless they were attacked by an external enemy,

00:00:26and then everybody says, it's war, let's go.

00:00:30We have to defend ourselves.

00:00:32Unless that happens, I don't even see how Israel survives.

00:00:37I think you do have to pay attention to Russia and China.

00:00:40As much as Trump says about China,

00:00:44or as much as he talks about them ripping us off,

00:00:46and you have the trade and tariff wars,

00:00:47and they're doing a lot of damage,

00:00:50people always got to remember that Trump always does say,

00:00:52I get along with Putin, I get along with Xi.

00:00:54He doesn't say that about the Europeans.

00:00:59When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes a duty.

00:01:07So said Thomas Jefferson.

00:01:08Go to bit.ly slash lawful tax protest,

00:01:11or bit.ly slash make war history,

00:01:14and find out why it is a criminal offense

00:01:16to pay central government or local government taxes in the UK.

00:01:20And let's make war history.

00:01:22Hey Alex, hey Alex.

00:01:23This is very easy and also very confusing,

00:01:26because I only need to remember one name.

00:01:31But I don't know which one I'm talking to.

00:01:32Thank you so much, both of you, for making yourself available.

00:01:35I'll start with you, Mr. Christoforou.

00:01:37You are half of the Duran.

00:01:39Yes.

00:01:40Yes, thank you so much for making yourself available.

00:01:43Thank you for having me on.

00:01:44You're so welcome.

00:01:45And Mr. Craner, you are all of the Naked Hedgy,

00:01:48all by yourself.

00:01:49That's true.

00:01:50Thank you for having me also.

00:01:51Good to join you.

00:01:52And warm greetings from Monaco to everyone out there.

00:01:56Yes, thank you.

00:01:56And I've been trying to get both of you together for a while,

00:01:59and we finally, finally made it work for our schedules.

00:02:02Mr. Christoforou, do you want to say a little bit about the Duran,

00:02:04and where people can find you,

00:02:05and who you are, and what you are, and why you are?

00:02:07We're a geopolitical news channel.

00:02:11You can find us on every platform, to be quite honest,

00:02:15from YouTube to Telegram to Odyssey, Rumble,

00:02:20locals, theduran.locals.com.

00:02:23You can find the Duran channel, my channel, Alex Christoforou,

00:02:27and Alexander Mercurius' channel as well.

00:02:29Yep.

00:02:30Thank you so much,

00:02:31and I'll have the links to something in the description below.

00:02:33I think the locals, probably.

00:02:36Yeah, and you are a little bit English and understated

00:02:39when you say, oh, we're a geopolitical channel.

00:02:42No, you are sublimely insightful geopolitical channel.

00:02:47Yeah, we try.

00:02:49We do really, really well, both you and Alexander.

00:02:52Mr. Cranor.

00:02:55Yes, people can find me on X.

00:02:57My handle is at Naked Hedgie.

00:03:00I have two publications on Substack.

00:03:03Personal one, Alex Kiner Substack,

00:03:07and the professional one,

00:03:09which is called iSystemtrendFollowing.

00:03:12And then there's others,

00:03:13but these three are where I'm most active.

00:03:16Yeah.

00:03:16Apart from appearing on lots of,

00:03:20on guesting on many, many other channels

00:03:22with your fabulous analysis and everything.

00:03:24Yes, still don't know how to say no.

00:03:26We should just sign an exclusive contract

00:03:30that you're running here on Crypto Rich, right?

00:03:32And you do a trend-following service

00:03:35where people can,

00:03:36I think it's an algorithm or something

00:03:38that you designed and have been using

00:03:39for many, many years

00:03:40that shows what the trends are.

00:03:41Yes, it's a model that I designed in 1999

00:03:45and then built it up

00:03:46to a professional version in 2003.

00:03:48I've been using it ever since.

00:03:50I used it as a hedge fund manager

00:03:51and now I use it

00:03:54as a decision support service

00:03:56for investors and traders.

00:03:58And I publish a variety of newsletters

00:04:01on a daily basis,

00:04:01on the basis of this.

00:04:04Yeah.

00:04:04And this includes also,

00:04:05I think it's very affordable

00:04:07and I have the links to that

00:04:08in the description below

00:04:09if people want to go and check it out

00:04:11and take a look

00:04:11because it's also for small investors.

00:04:13You don't have to be a hedge fund

00:04:14in order to,

00:04:16or, you know, big pockets.

00:04:17Yeah, it starts less than Starbucks.

00:04:19Less than the Starbucks.

00:04:20Less than Starbucks.

00:04:21Okay.

00:04:22All right.

00:04:22Very good.

00:04:23Okay.

00:04:25Where shall we start?

00:04:27I will propose something

00:04:28that maybe you don't know

00:04:30much about both of you

00:04:31because you haven't been following it

00:04:32and then we can move on

00:04:33to something else

00:04:33if that's the case.

00:04:34And this is regarding

00:04:35Keir Starmer

00:04:37or Keir Stasi

00:04:39or Keir Stalin

00:04:40or Keir Starmer

00:04:41or Two-Tier Keir

00:04:43or however it is.

00:04:44You know about the video

00:04:46that's emerged allegedly

00:04:47of him kissing Lord Ali

00:04:50and apparently there's more videos

00:04:52that have yet to come out

00:04:53and see the light of day.

00:04:54And it's not,

00:04:57it's not that he's gay.

00:04:59We don't care about that.

00:05:01It's that he has no honor.

00:05:02He has no honor.

00:05:04Anything any of you want to say

00:05:06with regards to that

00:05:08and the state of the UK

00:05:08and I've started with a dud.

00:05:15No, no, it's not a dud.

00:05:17I was just silent

00:05:17because I thought Alex would go first.

00:05:19Which Alex?

00:05:20Which Alex?

00:05:22Well, obviously not me.

00:05:24Well, I call him 008.

00:05:27Keir Starmer.

00:05:29He's called 000.

00:05:30License to bore you.

00:05:32The guy is extremely boring,

00:05:34but I don't know.

00:05:36I guess he leads a very spicy personal life,

00:05:39I guess.

00:05:40I don't know.

00:05:42Yes.

00:05:43You know,

00:05:44what can you say about Keir Starmer?

00:05:46He is extremely boring

00:05:47and extremely dangerous.

00:05:49He does as he's told.

00:05:51He does as he's told.

00:05:53And I think the biggest problem

00:05:54with Keir Starmer

00:05:55from a foreign policy perspective,

00:05:57I mean,

00:05:57a huge problem for the UK.

00:06:00But for my purposes,

00:06:03as we're a geopolitical channel,

00:06:05is his commitment

00:06:07to Project Ukraine.

00:06:09No doubt that the UK,

00:06:11Starmer along with France and Macron,

00:06:13are absolutely running

00:06:15Project Ukraine now

00:06:17and that's going to become

00:06:18a complete disaster

00:06:19and train wreck for him.

00:06:21And for Europe and the UK.

00:06:24Mr. Craner?

00:06:26Well,

00:06:27I think,

00:06:27you know,

00:06:28it's another blow

00:06:29to Britain,

00:06:31to,

00:06:31you know,

00:06:31the British people

00:06:32who have been

00:06:33systematically,

00:06:35consistently demoralized now

00:06:36for,

00:06:37I don't know how long,

00:06:38you know,

00:06:38so Starmer stinks,

00:06:40but,

00:06:41you know,

00:06:41before Starmer,

00:06:43there was Rishi Sunak

00:06:44and before him,

00:06:45there was

00:06:45Liz Truss

00:06:47and Boris Johnson

00:06:48and Theresa May

00:06:50and David Cameron

00:06:51and they all,

00:06:53well,

00:06:54you know,

00:06:54suck,

00:06:55yeah,

00:06:55I guess that's the technical term.

00:06:57It's always the same,

00:06:58the policies don't change,

00:06:59things are getting worse

00:07:00and worse and worse

00:07:01for the British people.

00:07:03Britain is,

00:07:04you know,

00:07:04the mask

00:07:05of this

00:07:06liberal democracy

00:07:09that is,

00:07:10you know,

00:07:11enmatched in all these

00:07:12imperialist misadventures

00:07:13only because

00:07:15they are

00:07:15faithfully following

00:07:18their ally,

00:07:19the United States

00:07:20which is dragging them

00:07:21into these,

00:07:22all these bad situations

00:07:23around the world.

00:07:24That mask

00:07:25is really peeling away now

00:07:27and we're discovering

00:07:28that Britain

00:07:29is actually leading the way

00:07:31and

00:07:32this,

00:07:33this gets

00:07:34extremely interesting

00:07:35and

00:07:36I think

00:07:37it's not just that

00:07:38this is going to be

00:07:40disastrous for

00:07:40Keir Starmer,

00:07:41I think it's going to be

00:07:43disastrous for the,

00:07:44for,

00:07:44in general,

00:07:45for the British establishment

00:07:47and I'm afraid

00:07:49that the people

00:07:50who are going to

00:07:51obviously be stuck

00:07:52with the tab

00:07:52are going to be

00:07:53the British people

00:07:54and I think that the,

00:07:55the really unfortunate

00:07:57part about this

00:07:58is that

00:07:58the British people

00:08:00have lived under this,

00:08:01under this regime

00:08:03for so long,

00:08:06you know,

00:08:06the continuity

00:08:07of so many generations

00:08:08and they've been

00:08:10lied to for so long

00:08:11that

00:08:12I,

00:08:14you know,

00:08:14if I were British

00:08:15I wouldn't really be sure

00:08:17where to start.

00:08:18You'd have to,

00:08:19you'd have to start

00:08:20from a blank page

00:08:21somehow

00:08:21and so

00:08:23I,

00:08:23I don't know where

00:08:24the situation goes

00:08:25but I,

00:08:25I hope that it doesn't

00:08:26become

00:08:26one of those

00:08:28North Korea

00:08:30nations

00:08:32that,

00:08:33you know,

00:08:33because the regime

00:08:35feels they need

00:08:36to preserve them,

00:08:36preserve themselves,

00:08:37they're going to be left

00:08:39just with their own population

00:08:41and they're not going

00:08:41to take them

00:08:42as human shields

00:08:43and barricade themselves

00:08:45away from

00:08:46any threatening influence

00:08:48which obviously now

00:08:49is Russia

00:08:50but,

00:08:52you know,

00:08:52if you listen carefully

00:08:53to the voices

00:08:54of the British establishment

00:08:55they're now regarding

00:08:56the United States

00:08:57as an enemy

00:08:57nation

00:08:58and,

00:09:00and so

00:09:00where does that leave you?

00:09:01What does that leave you with?

00:09:02And then,

00:09:03you know,

00:09:03they,

00:09:03they've been,

00:09:04they've been

00:09:05engaged in a scramble

00:09:07for Africa

00:09:07for the last,

00:09:09I don't know how long,

00:09:0920 years or so

00:09:10they've been

00:09:11re-establishing

00:09:14colonial control

00:09:15over many African countries

00:09:17and their,

00:09:17and their resources

00:09:18and now we see

00:09:20that

00:09:20this is being attacked

00:09:24by the Russians

00:09:26and possibly

00:09:27by the Chinese

00:09:28because I think

00:09:29that they know

00:09:29that this is the source

00:09:30of strength.

00:09:31There's,

00:09:31British,

00:09:32British establishment

00:09:34is not to be

00:09:35underestimated,

00:09:35you know,

00:09:36they are

00:09:36somehow

00:09:37in some way

00:09:39that is not

00:09:40clear

00:09:41and not disclosed

00:09:43they still have

00:09:44disproportionate power.

00:09:45We see that

00:09:46Britain is signing

00:09:47military cooperation

00:09:48agreements

00:09:49left and right

00:09:50as though

00:09:51they were a major

00:09:52military power

00:09:53and everybody,

00:09:54all the,

00:09:54all the nations

00:09:55around the world

00:09:55are scrambling

00:09:56to have

00:09:56some kind of

00:09:57military cooperation

00:09:58with Britain.

00:09:59so the,

00:10:03the,

00:10:03there is

00:10:05some kind

00:10:06of a basis

00:10:06to their power.

00:10:08I'm not sure

00:10:09what it is.

00:10:09I mean,

00:10:10I'm pretty sure

00:10:10it has to do

00:10:11with money,

00:10:11but it also

00:10:13has to do

00:10:14with,

00:10:14with

00:10:15secret

00:10:18diplomacy

00:10:20and

00:10:21their intelligence

00:10:22network.

00:10:24We remember

00:10:25that during

00:10:25the COVID-19

00:10:26pandemic

00:10:27Tony Blair

00:10:31tweeted out

00:10:32boasting

00:10:33how

00:10:33quote

00:10:34we have

00:10:35teams

00:10:35embedded

00:10:36in all

00:10:37the governments

00:10:37around the

00:10:38world.

00:10:38I don't know

00:10:39what that

00:10:39means exactly,

00:10:41but you know,

00:10:42when they sign

00:10:43a military

00:10:43cooperation

00:10:44agreement

00:10:44with Bosnia

00:10:45and Herzegovina,

00:10:46that is a

00:10:47major head

00:10:48scratcher for

00:10:49me.

00:10:49I don't know

00:10:49how that

00:10:51happens,

00:10:52but clearly

00:10:53does happen.

00:10:54And

00:10:55I think

00:10:57that the

00:10:57fall of

00:10:58Britain

00:10:58is going

00:10:58to be

00:10:59a very,

00:11:00very tumultuous

00:11:01event,

00:11:01not just

00:11:02for Britain,

00:11:02but I

00:11:03think maybe

00:11:04for all

00:11:05the rest

00:11:05of us.

00:11:07Mr.

00:11:07Christopher

00:11:08The

00:11:11intel

00:11:11agencies

00:11:12of the

00:11:13UK,

00:11:14that's pretty

00:11:14much all

00:11:15they've got

00:11:16left.

00:11:18You know,

00:11:18they've been

00:11:19hollowed out

00:11:20so much

00:11:21over the

00:11:21past

00:11:22decades.

00:11:23Their intel

00:11:24agencies,

00:11:25though,

00:11:25are still

00:11:26top.

00:11:27And they

00:11:29meddle around

00:11:30pretty much

00:11:31all over the

00:11:31world,

00:11:32including

00:11:33heavily in

00:11:34the United

00:11:34States,

00:11:34by the way,

00:11:36very much

00:11:36in the

00:11:36United

00:11:37States.

00:11:38But,

00:11:38you know,

00:11:39Kirstahmer,

00:11:40my thinking

00:11:41on Kirstahmer,

00:11:42and I think

00:11:42the number

00:11:43one priority

00:11:43for the

00:11:45British

00:11:45establishment

00:11:46is above

00:11:47anything else,

00:11:49is to

00:11:49reverse Brexit.

00:11:50Really?

00:11:53That's

00:11:54number one?

00:11:55I think

00:11:56that's

00:11:56number one.

00:11:56Above

00:11:57breaking up

00:11:58Russia and

00:11:58plundering

00:11:59Russia?

00:11:59I think

00:12:00Russia is

00:12:01a good

00:12:01way to

00:12:01reverse

00:12:01Brexit.

00:12:04And when

00:12:04I mean

00:12:04reverse

00:12:04Brexit,

00:12:05I'm not

00:12:05saying they're

00:12:06going to

00:12:06have another

00:12:06referendum or

00:12:07anything like

00:12:07that,

00:12:07but to

00:12:08find a way

00:12:09to reintegrate

00:12:10the UK

00:12:11into the

00:12:12EU.

00:12:12And then I

00:12:13agree with

00:12:13what Alex

00:12:14is saying.

00:12:14I think

00:12:14once,

00:12:16I don't

00:12:17know which

00:12:17one will

00:12:17collapse

00:12:18first.

00:12:18I don't

00:12:18know if

00:12:18it'll be

00:12:19the UK

00:12:19first,

00:12:20it will

00:12:20be the

00:12:21EU or

00:12:21the EU

00:12:21and then

00:12:22the UK,

00:12:22but I

00:12:22think

00:12:22together

00:12:23they're

00:12:23going to

00:12:23go down

00:12:24one after

00:12:25the other.

00:12:27It's

00:12:27very important

00:12:28to get

00:12:29the UK

00:12:29back into

00:12:30the EU.

00:12:31It's

00:12:32important for

00:12:32the globalist

00:12:33cause.

00:12:35It's important

00:12:35for the

00:12:36establishment.

00:12:37I don't

00:12:37think they've

00:12:37ever gotten

00:12:37over

00:12:38Brexit.

00:12:40And I

00:12:40think we've

00:12:40been seeing

00:12:41over the

00:12:41past few

00:12:44years,

00:12:45going through

00:12:45all the

00:12:46various

00:12:46prime

00:12:46ministers,

00:12:47they've

00:12:48all been

00:12:48taking steps

00:12:49to realign

00:12:50the UK

00:12:50closer with

00:12:51the EU.

00:12:53And I

00:12:53think that's

00:12:53going to

00:12:53happen.

00:12:54Russia is

00:12:54a great

00:12:54excuse

00:12:54because they

00:12:55can fight

00:12:56Russia

00:12:56together,

00:12:57they can

00:12:57unite the

00:12:59UK and

00:12:59France,

00:13:01the UK and

00:13:01the European

00:13:02Union,

00:13:02throw Germany

00:13:03in there.

00:13:03You have the

00:13:03nice powerful

00:13:04three, the

00:13:05big three,

00:13:06Germany,

00:13:07France, and

00:13:07the UK.

00:13:10The UK is

00:13:11very hot on

00:13:13the idea of

00:13:14Germany

00:13:15re-arming.

00:13:16They're

00:13:17very hot.

00:13:17They love

00:13:17it.

00:13:18They really

00:13:19do love

00:13:19it.

00:13:19The idea

00:13:19that Germany

00:13:20is going

00:13:20to build

00:13:21up a

00:13:21military.

00:13:22The British

00:13:22media,

00:13:23they're all

00:13:23over that

00:13:24one.

00:13:25That's the

00:13:26goal.

00:13:27You're going

00:13:28to have to

00:13:28take on

00:13:29Russia,

00:13:29so you're

00:13:31going to

00:13:31have to

00:13:31get back

00:13:31together

00:13:32with the

00:13:32EU gang.

00:13:35That's how

00:13:35they're going

00:13:35to do it.

00:13:37And sacrifice

00:13:38other people

00:13:38in that

00:13:39conflict.

00:13:40Even if it

00:13:41isn't a

00:13:41conflict.

00:13:42I'm not

00:13:43saying it's

00:13:43going to be

00:13:44a conflict,

00:13:44a war.

00:13:44I don't

00:13:45think they

00:13:46would last

00:13:46a week.

00:13:47Even in

00:13:48four or

00:13:48five years,

00:13:49even if

00:13:50they were

00:13:50to re-arm

00:13:53as they say

00:13:54they're going

00:13:55to re-arm

00:13:56and all of

00:13:57this talk,

00:13:57even if they

00:13:57were to do

00:13:58something like

00:13:58that and

00:13:59bump up

00:13:59their spending

00:14:00to fulfill

00:14:00the NATO

00:14:01targets and

00:14:02create an

00:14:02EU army,

00:14:03they still

00:14:03would not

00:14:03last a

00:14:04week against

00:14:05Russia.

00:14:05People forget

00:14:06that Russia

00:14:06is fighting

00:14:08the war with

00:14:09Ukraine for

00:14:09many reasons,

00:14:10but they

00:14:11actually care

00:14:11about the

00:14:13land and

00:14:13the people

00:14:14in Ukraine

00:14:14where they

00:14:15are fighting

00:14:15the war.

00:14:16Believe me,

00:14:16if they had

00:14:16to get into

00:14:18any kind

00:14:18of a

00:14:19conflict

00:14:20with any

00:14:21other country

00:14:21in Europe,

00:14:22it would be

00:14:24very quick.

00:14:25And the

00:14:25Russians

00:14:26wouldn't give

00:14:26one you-know-what

00:14:28about the

00:14:29opponent.

00:14:30But I'm not

00:14:31saying it's

00:14:32going to get

00:14:32there.

00:14:32I don't

00:14:32think it'll

00:14:33get there,

00:14:34but it's a

00:14:34great way

00:14:35to get the

00:14:37UK back

00:14:38integrated in

00:14:39some form or

00:14:40another with

00:14:42the European

00:14:43Union.

00:14:44Okay.

00:14:44Now, I

00:14:44can get

00:14:45why the

00:14:45European

00:14:46Union would

00:14:46want the

00:14:47UK back

00:14:47so they

00:14:47can continue

00:14:48sucking life

00:14:49out of the

00:14:49UK in

00:14:50order to

00:14:50shore up

00:14:50the euro

00:14:51and their

00:14:51own

00:14:52finances.

00:14:53But why

00:14:54would the

00:14:54British

00:14:54remnants of

00:14:55the British

00:14:56Empire want

00:14:56to get back

00:14:57in with the

00:14:57EU?

00:14:57because the

00:14:59British

00:14:59Empire.

00:15:01Okay.

00:15:04They're all

00:15:04the same

00:15:05group.

00:15:05They're all

00:15:05the same

00:15:05gang.

00:15:06I mean,

00:15:06it's that

00:15:07simple.

00:15:08It's all

00:15:08the same

00:15:09globalists.

00:15:11They have

00:15:11to take

00:15:11on a

00:15:12multipolar

00:15:12world right

00:15:12now.

00:15:13So, I

00:15:13mean, you

00:15:14know, they

00:15:14got nothing

00:15:15else.

00:15:16They got

00:15:16nothing

00:15:16else.

00:15:17Stronger

00:15:17together.

00:15:18Yeah.

00:15:19We're dying

00:15:20together.

00:15:21Mr.

00:15:21Craner?

00:15:23Well, yeah,

00:15:24I have to

00:15:25agree with

00:15:25Alex.

00:15:26And I

00:15:26think that the

00:15:27way it

00:15:27works is

00:15:27that if

00:15:28the cabal

00:15:29in London

00:15:29decides on

00:15:30some agenda,

00:15:31then, you

00:15:32know, Canada,

00:15:34Australia,

00:15:35Japan, they

00:15:37follow suit.

00:15:38It's just, you

00:15:39know, it's not

00:15:39like they have

00:15:41any real

00:15:42sovereignty to

00:15:43say, oh, no,

00:15:44no, you

00:15:44know, we're

00:15:45not going to

00:15:46be doing

00:15:46that.

00:15:47The only

00:15:47problem is

00:15:48that they

00:15:48are a

00:15:49dispersed

00:15:50archipelago

00:15:51of weak

00:15:51powers.

00:15:52So, there

00:15:53isn't really

00:15:53much that they

00:15:54can do.

00:15:55But, you

00:15:55know, the

00:15:55part that's

00:15:56worrisome is

00:15:57that it

00:15:57seems that

00:15:57their logic

00:15:58is, if

00:16:00we get

00:16:00ourselves into

00:16:01a real

00:16:01mess, the

00:16:02Americans are

00:16:02going to have

00:16:03to come and

00:16:03bail us

00:16:03out.

00:16:05So, even

00:16:05though I

00:16:06think they

00:16:07have no

00:16:07illusions about

00:16:08being able to

00:16:08defeat Russia,

00:16:09they think, if

00:16:11we create a

00:16:11big mess, if

00:16:12we get

00:16:12ourselves into

00:16:13real trouble,

00:16:14then surely the

00:16:15Americans are

00:16:16going to have to

00:16:16come to our

00:16:16aid.

00:16:17And so, rather

00:16:18than, you

00:16:19know, cutting

00:16:19their losses,

00:16:20changing course,

00:16:22and maybe

00:16:23deciding to

00:16:23become, you

00:16:24know, a

00:16:25neutral island

00:16:26nation that

00:16:26minds its

00:16:27own business,

00:16:28I think that

00:16:30they are

00:16:30desperate to

00:16:31get into

00:16:32that mess.

00:16:32They are

00:16:33working on

00:16:34that agenda,

00:16:35and this is

00:16:35their plan.

00:16:36And then the

00:16:37more the

00:16:37merrier, you

00:16:37know, so,

00:16:38hey, you

00:16:39know, coalition

00:16:39of the willing,

00:16:40we're six,

00:16:42and the

00:16:43Dutch are

00:16:43with us,

00:16:44and the

00:16:44Latvia,

00:16:45Lithuania,

00:16:46and Estonia

00:16:46are with

00:16:46us.

00:16:47And I

00:16:49think they

00:16:50keep selling

00:16:50the Turks

00:16:51on this

00:16:51great

00:16:51Turania

00:16:52project,

00:16:52and that

00:16:53the Turkish

00:16:53deep state

00:16:54is still

00:16:56kind of

00:16:56hedging their

00:16:57bets on

00:16:57that, and

00:16:58still, I

00:16:59think, is

00:17:01transacting with

00:17:02the British

00:17:03deep state.

00:17:05And I

00:17:06think I'm

00:17:07kind of

00:17:07leaning to

00:17:07the conclusion

00:17:08that the

00:17:08whole Syria

00:17:09mess, that

00:17:10the trap

00:17:10was for

00:17:11Turkey, that

00:17:12the trap

00:17:13was laid

00:17:13for Turkey

00:17:14there, to

00:17:15absorb them

00:17:15into a

00:17:16quagmire, so

00:17:17that they

00:17:17are maybe

00:17:19weakened, so

00:17:20that they

00:17:20cannot, you

00:17:23know, get

00:17:25themselves into

00:17:26a Crimea

00:17:26War 2.0,

00:17:27somehow.

00:17:28Who said

00:17:29that?

00:17:29The British?

00:17:31For Turkey?

00:17:32Who said

00:17:33that?

00:17:33No, no, no,

00:17:33sorry, I

00:17:36have to

00:17:36rewind.

00:17:37So, you

00:17:38know how

00:17:39in late

00:17:40November last

00:17:41year, early

00:17:42December,

00:17:43Syrian

00:17:44government just

00:17:44folded

00:17:45practically

00:17:46without a

00:17:46fight.

00:17:47So, to

00:17:48my mind,

00:17:49there's no

00:17:49way that

00:17:49can just

00:17:50happen.

00:17:51You know,

00:17:52250,000

00:17:54well-armed,

00:17:56well-fortified

00:17:58Syrian troops

00:18:01folds to a

00:18:04ragtag

00:18:04militia of

00:18:0530,000

00:18:06jihadis on

00:18:07pickup trucks

00:18:07with light

00:18:09armor.

00:18:11That was an

00:18:12order.

00:18:12That was an

00:18:12order to do

00:18:13that.

00:18:13And I

00:18:14think that

00:18:14there was a

00:18:16reason why

00:18:16this was

00:18:17done.

00:18:18And I

00:18:18think that

00:18:18part of

00:18:18the reason

00:18:19was to

00:18:19drag these

00:18:21jihadis

00:18:22into Syria

00:18:24as a

00:18:24trap.

00:18:25It wasn't

00:18:26clear to

00:18:26me who

00:18:27this was

00:18:28against,

00:18:28but I

00:18:29think it's

00:18:29exactly to

00:18:31get Turkey

00:18:31enmeshed in

00:18:32something that

00:18:33would weigh

00:18:33them down.

00:18:34because the

00:18:37British

00:18:38establishment is

00:18:39still trying

00:18:39to move

00:18:41the pieces

00:18:41into place

00:18:42for Crimea

00:18:432.0,

00:18:44because even

00:18:46though they've

00:18:46lost in

00:18:47Ukraine,

00:18:48they are

00:18:48still extremely

00:18:49keen on

00:18:50retaining

00:18:51control over

00:18:53the Black

00:18:53Sea.

00:18:54And they're

00:18:54panicked at

00:18:55the idea that

00:18:56they might

00:18:56lose Odessa

00:18:56and then the

00:18:58whole rest of

00:18:58the coast and

00:18:59then bye-bye

00:19:00Black Sea.

00:19:00And so I

00:19:02think they're

00:19:02trying to

00:19:03somehow get

00:19:05Turkey to

00:19:07buy into

00:19:08that.

00:19:09And Turkey

00:19:10might, you

00:19:11know, we

00:19:12don't know

00:19:12because I

00:19:13don't know

00:19:14what's going

00:19:14on with

00:19:14Erdogan.

00:19:15He's less

00:19:16and less

00:19:16visible, but

00:19:17obviously the

00:19:18Turkish deep

00:19:18state is

00:19:19very, very

00:19:21active and

00:19:22still in

00:19:24cahoots with

00:19:25the British

00:19:26deep state.

00:19:28And so,

00:19:29you know,

00:19:29together with

00:19:30France, they

00:19:32could line

00:19:33up Crimea

00:19:34War 2.0.

00:19:37And I

00:19:37don't know,

00:19:38maybe the

00:19:40Russians, the

00:19:41Iranians, the

00:19:41Chinese see

00:19:43that eventuality

00:19:44as possible.

00:19:46And so I'm

00:19:47just saying

00:19:47maybe that

00:19:48trapezyria was

00:19:49late for

00:19:50the Turks

00:19:52to get into

00:19:54a quicksend so

00:19:55they can't

00:19:56move on

00:19:56other fronts.

00:19:57Alex,

00:19:58Christopher?

00:19:58The UK,

00:20:02the EU,

00:20:04what they

00:20:06need to do,

00:20:07the collective

00:20:07West, what

00:20:07they need to

00:20:08do now that

00:20:08the United

00:20:09States is out

00:20:10of the

00:20:11collective West

00:20:11game for

00:20:12now is just

00:20:12wait.

00:20:13I think that's

00:20:13the strategy.

00:20:14It's probably

00:20:15the correct

00:20:15strategy as

00:20:16well, just

00:20:17to wait

00:20:17Trump out

00:20:17for four

00:20:18years.

00:20:18so if

00:20:20they can

00:20:21unite together,

00:20:23do their

00:20:24thing, try

00:20:25to keep

00:20:25the conflict

00:20:26in Ukraine

00:20:27going, which

00:20:28it won't

00:20:28happen, but

00:20:29Russia's going

00:20:30to win this

00:20:30thing.

00:20:31But at least

00:20:31you can keep

00:20:32the enemy as

00:20:33being Russia.

00:20:34You can

00:20:34definitely keep

00:20:35that alive for

00:20:35three, four

00:20:36years.

00:20:36you can

00:20:38continue to

00:20:39talk about

00:20:41building up

00:20:42your military,

00:20:42rearming, and

00:20:43then you wait

00:20:43for the next

00:20:44election cycle.

00:20:45No doubt

00:20:46the Europeans

00:20:48and especially

00:20:49the UK,

00:20:49they'll do

00:20:50their best to

00:20:51make sure

00:20:51that they try

00:20:52to get a

00:20:53US government

00:20:53that's more

00:20:55favorable to

00:20:55them and the

00:20:56way they see

00:20:57the world.

00:20:59And I think

00:21:00that's the

00:21:00strategy that

00:21:01they have

00:21:01going forward.

00:21:01their number

00:21:03one fear

00:21:03has always

00:21:04been that

00:21:04the US

00:21:04leaves them.

00:21:06And I think

00:21:06they look at

00:21:06this as just

00:21:07a temporary

00:21:08exit for

00:21:11the United

00:21:11States.

00:21:11They see it

00:21:12as just a

00:21:12four-year

00:21:13thing.

00:21:14And it's a

00:21:15Trump thing

00:21:15for them.

00:21:16So Trump,

00:21:17this crazy guy

00:21:18in the White

00:21:19House, he's

00:21:20trying to

00:21:20leave Europe.

00:21:22We can't

00:21:22have that

00:21:23happen.

00:21:24We can't

00:21:25really go

00:21:26against him,

00:21:26but we'll

00:21:27wait him out.

00:21:29Okay.

00:21:29And then what

00:21:30about Alex's

00:21:31comment?

00:21:31Turkey?

00:21:33Turkey, you

00:21:33know, as a

00:21:34Greek, as a

00:21:35Cypriot, we

00:21:35know Turkey

00:21:36really well.

00:21:39Look, you

00:21:39know, Erdogan's...

00:21:43You know,

00:21:44here's the

00:21:45thing with

00:21:45Turkey.

00:21:47If there's

00:21:48one country

00:21:49that Turkey

00:21:49fears, absolutely

00:21:51fears, and

00:21:52will never,

00:21:53never, I

00:21:55don't want to

00:21:55say never,

00:21:56will absolutely

00:21:56be scared to

00:21:58get into a

00:21:58conflict with,

00:22:00it's Russia.

00:22:01they absolutely

00:22:03fear Russia,

00:22:04not the

00:22:04United States.

00:22:05They fear

00:22:06Russia more

00:22:07than any

00:22:07other country

00:22:08on the

00:22:09entire planet.

00:22:10Okay, and

00:22:10what's your

00:22:11evidence for

00:22:12that?

00:22:12I'm not...

00:22:13I know,

00:22:14trust me,

00:22:14I live this.

00:22:16It goes back

00:22:19through history,

00:22:20it goes back

00:22:20through, as

00:22:21Alex said,

00:22:23the many wars.

00:22:24Yeah, but

00:22:25it's the

00:22:26Russians that

00:22:27they fear the

00:22:27absolute most.

00:22:30What happened

00:22:31in...

00:22:32And yeah, I

00:22:33mean, look,

00:22:34you do see

00:22:34this kind of

00:22:36Crimea war

00:22:38thing creeping

00:22:38up, and

00:22:39that you had

00:22:39the Black

00:22:39Sea meeting

00:22:40that took

00:22:41place last

00:22:42week, where

00:22:43they were

00:22:44discussing

00:22:45the

00:22:47grain deal

00:22:48that fell

00:22:49apart, the

00:22:49Black Sea

00:22:50ceasefire, that

00:22:51never really got

00:22:52up off the

00:22:52ground, and

00:22:53there was a

00:22:54meeting in

00:22:54Turkey with

00:22:56France, the

00:22:57UK, Ukraine,

00:22:59and Turkey

00:22:59hosted this

00:23:00event.

00:23:01But from what

00:23:01I understand,

00:23:02there were no

00:23:02real top-level

00:23:03officials at

00:23:05this event.

00:23:06I think Erdogan

00:23:07is doing what

00:23:07Erdogan always

00:23:08does, which is

00:23:09kind of play

00:23:09both sides,

00:23:10and he's

00:23:11very good at

00:23:12that, he's

00:23:12very good at

00:23:13positioning Turkey

00:23:13kind of in

00:23:14the middle,

00:23:15looking to get

00:23:16benefits from

00:23:16one side, let's

00:23:17say, get

00:23:17benefits from

00:23:18the collective

00:23:19West or from

00:23:19the US, looking

00:23:20to get benefits

00:23:20from the other

00:23:21side, let's

00:23:22say, Bricks,

00:23:23Russia, China,

00:23:23whatever.

00:23:24He's very good

00:23:25at playing the

00:23:27middle, very,

00:23:28very skilled at

00:23:29doing that, probably

00:23:30the best in the

00:23:31world at this

00:23:32type of game.

00:23:34And it's worked

00:23:35for him.

00:23:36It's worked for

00:23:36him.

00:23:38You know, he's

00:23:38been the one

00:23:38country that can

00:23:39be in NATO

00:23:41and still cut

00:23:43deals with

00:23:43Russia and

00:23:45get SS-400s

00:23:46and all those

00:23:47things.

00:23:48So for Erdogan,

00:23:50it's classic

00:23:51Erdogan, I

00:23:52think, what's

00:23:53going on.

00:23:55You know, I

00:23:56think you have

00:23:56the British

00:23:57probably feel

00:23:59they can get

00:23:59Erdogan on

00:24:00side, not

00:24:01realizing who

00:24:02Erdogan is.

00:24:03I think the

00:24:04Russians, they're

00:24:04on to Erdogan,

00:24:05but they need

00:24:06Turkey.

00:24:07They need to

00:24:08have Turkey

00:24:09on side for

00:24:10various reasons.

00:24:10I think that

00:24:11will diminish

00:24:11as the

00:24:12Russians continue

00:24:13to wind down

00:24:15Ukraine.

00:24:16But definitely

00:24:16for the first

00:24:17three years, it

00:24:18was critical

00:24:18that they had

00:24:20Erdogan at

00:24:21least partly

00:24:22with them,

00:24:25given the

00:24:25conflict that

00:24:26they were in.

00:24:28To police the

00:24:29Black Sea?

00:24:30Well, a lot

00:24:30of reasons.

00:24:31There's the

00:24:32Black Sea,

00:24:33there's trade,

00:24:34there's what

00:24:36Turkey adds

00:24:37to the

00:24:38Russian economy,

00:24:39what Russia

00:24:39could do

00:24:40with Turkey.

00:24:40I mean,

00:24:41we've got to

00:24:42remember,

00:24:43Turkey resisted

00:24:45a lot of

00:24:45pressure to

00:24:46place sanctions

00:24:46on Russia.

00:24:47They resisted

00:24:48a lot of

00:24:48pressure with

00:24:50the Black

00:24:51Sea.

00:24:52Yes, they

00:24:52also sold

00:24:52weapons to

00:24:54Ukraine, and

00:24:54they took a

00:24:55lot of the

00:24:55weapons in

00:24:55Syria.

00:24:57Rumor has

00:24:57it, I

00:24:58believe these

00:24:58rumors, I

00:24:59think they're

00:24:59more than

00:24:59rumors, a lot

00:25:01of the weapons

00:25:01that were

00:25:02gathered in

00:25:02Syria, for

00:25:03example, artillery

00:25:04shells went to

00:25:05Ukraine.

00:25:06Now, how

00:25:07effective were

00:25:07those artillery

00:25:08shells?

00:25:08How good

00:25:09were they?

00:25:09That's a

00:25:10different

00:25:10question.

00:25:10Probably a

00:25:11lot of

00:25:12duds in

00:25:13what was

00:25:13sent over,

00:25:14but still,

00:25:15that's the

00:25:15game that

00:25:15Erdogan

00:25:16plays.

00:25:18Russians are

00:25:19realists, so

00:25:20I think

00:25:20Putin's

00:25:21pragmatic, and

00:25:22he understands

00:25:22the games

00:25:23that Turkey

00:25:24is playing

00:25:24against

00:25:25Russia, but

00:25:25he also

00:25:26understands

00:25:26the things

00:25:27that Turkey

00:25:27does for

00:25:28Russia, but

00:25:28this is

00:25:29Erdogan.

00:25:30So I

00:25:30think Erdogan,

00:25:31that's the

00:25:31way he's

00:25:31always going

00:25:32to operate,

00:25:33and I

00:25:34think the

00:25:35Russians are

00:25:35more on

00:25:36to Erdogan

00:25:36than the

00:25:37West and

00:25:38say the

00:25:39British are.

00:25:41Okay, and

00:25:41then Mr.

00:25:42Cranor, what

00:25:42about the

00:25:43argument that

00:25:43Turkey moving

00:25:44into Syria

00:25:46stimmies Israel's

00:25:49project for a

00:25:49greater Israel?

00:25:53Tom again?

00:25:54Forgive me, I

00:25:55didn't understand

00:25:55exactly what the

00:25:56question is.

00:25:57So Tom has

00:25:58said this, right,

00:25:58that Turkey being

00:25:59in Syria prevents

00:26:01Israel's expansion

00:26:02into a greater

00:26:03Israel.

00:26:03Well, yeah,

00:26:07that's clear, and

00:26:11it seems to me

00:26:11that Israel and

00:26:13Turkey are

00:26:16headed into

00:26:16some kind of

00:26:17a conflict.

00:26:17You know,

00:26:18Israel has

00:26:18upgraded Turkey

00:26:19into their

00:26:20number one

00:26:20enemy, even

00:26:22bigger enemy

00:26:23than Iran.

00:26:26And the

00:26:26Turks want

00:26:27to, so

00:26:28Israel wants

00:26:30to splinter

00:26:30Syria.

00:26:31they want

00:26:32it

00:26:33balkanized

00:26:35kind of

00:26:36between

00:26:36HTS, the

00:26:38Kurds, their

00:26:40loyal

00:26:41Druze militia

00:26:42and whatever.

00:26:44They want

00:26:45to balkanize

00:26:47Syria at their

00:26:48doorstep so

00:26:49that it's a

00:26:49soft target for

00:26:50them, they can

00:26:51control it.

00:26:51whereas Turkey

00:26:53wants a

00:26:54unified territory

00:26:56under their

00:26:56control.

00:26:58And so it

00:26:58seems to me that

00:26:59the Turks are

00:27:00trying to build a

00:27:01security architecture

00:27:02there, military

00:27:03bases, air

00:27:05defenses, heavy

00:27:06weaponry, which

00:27:08the Israelis,

00:27:10apart from wanting

00:27:11massive chunks of

00:27:12Syria, if you put

00:27:14together maps of

00:27:16the Ottoman

00:27:18empire and

00:27:20the map of

00:27:21the Eretz

00:27:21Israel that

00:27:22the, that

00:27:23the, all of

00:27:24these right-wing

00:27:25fanatics in

00:27:25Israel are, are

00:27:27aspiring to, you

00:27:29see that they, they

00:27:29have a massive

00:27:30overlap.

00:27:31And so even

00:27:33though I think

00:27:34this is not

00:27:34being discussed

00:27:35in the open

00:27:36now, it is

00:27:37in the, in

00:27:39the flow of

00:27:39the narrative on

00:27:40both sides.

00:27:42And so that

00:27:42is, that is

00:27:43pushing them into

00:27:44a conflict.

00:27:44And so

00:27:47they recently

00:27:48had talks on

00:27:49in, in, in,

00:27:50in Baku,

00:27:51Azerbaijan on

00:27:51creating

00:27:53deconfliction

00:27:54mechanisms.

00:27:54But I think

00:27:55it's the, I

00:27:59think that the

00:27:59momentum towards

00:28:01a conflict

00:28:03and not to

00:28:06forget the, the

00:28:07public opinion

00:28:07on, on

00:28:08Turkish side

00:28:08will overwhelm

00:28:10this.

00:28:10You know, I

00:28:11think that the

00:28:11deconfliction

00:28:12mechanism isn't

00:28:13going to do

00:28:13very much at

00:28:14all.

00:28:15So I think

00:28:16that something's

00:28:17going to go

00:28:17down eventually

00:28:18unless Israel

00:28:21implodes all by

00:28:22itself.

00:28:23You know, the

00:28:24civil war breaks

00:28:26out in Israel

00:28:27and, and

00:28:28things just go

00:28:29belly up all

00:28:30of their own.

00:28:31And then the

00:28:33whole axis of

00:28:36resistance and

00:28:37Turkey decide,

00:28:39decide to step

00:28:40away and wait

00:28:41it out.

00:28:41because if you

00:28:43give Israel an

00:28:44external enemy,

00:28:45that is, if

00:28:46you, if you

00:28:47attack Israel,

00:28:48then they're

00:28:49going to unite

00:28:50behind whatever

00:28:50leadership they

00:28:51have.

00:28:52They're all

00:28:52going to close

00:28:53ranks behind

00:28:54Netanyahu or

00:28:55whoever is going

00:28:56to be in

00:28:57power after

00:28:57them.

00:28:58But if you, if

00:28:59you just sit

00:29:01by the river,

00:29:02eventually you're

00:29:02going to see the

00:29:03corpse of your

00:29:03enemy float by.

00:29:04And I think

00:29:05maybe, maybe

00:29:06that's the, that's

00:29:07the path they're

00:29:08choosing, which

00:29:09would probably be

00:29:10wise, but I

00:29:10don't know.

00:29:11You know, this

00:29:11is, uh, this

00:29:14is not the kind

00:29:15of stuff that's

00:29:15going to come

00:29:16out in the, in

00:29:17the, in the

00:29:17front page, uh,

00:29:19headlines.

00:29:20Yeah.

00:29:21Yeah.

00:29:22Especially not in

00:29:22the mainstream

00:29:23media.

00:29:23No, definitely not

00:29:24in the mainstream

00:29:25media, which is

00:29:25why people should

00:29:26watch out for

00:29:26Alex's stuff on

00:29:27Substack and

00:29:28also the Duran

00:29:29stuff all over

00:29:30the place.

00:29:31I discovered you

00:29:32on Podbean the

00:29:33other day, Alex,

00:29:34Christopher, I

00:29:34didn't know the

00:29:35Duran would have

00:29:35been, but you

00:29:36are.

00:29:37I guess we

00:29:37are.

00:29:37I didn't know

00:29:38either.

00:29:39Yeah.

00:29:40Okay.

00:29:40Well, let's keep

00:29:41traveling, right?

00:29:42So we're now in

00:29:42Israel.

00:29:44So Mr.

00:29:45Christopher, any

00:29:45comments on the

00:29:47wonderful shape

00:29:48that the Israeli

00:29:49state is in and

00:29:50what a model it

00:29:51is for the rest of

00:29:52the world and how

00:29:53to conduct

00:29:53international

00:29:54relations?

00:29:57If it's, um,

00:29:59look, you know,

00:29:59it's, I think it's

00:30:01a hard country to,

00:30:03to get a feel

00:30:03for unless,

00:30:04unless you're

00:30:05there or you

00:30:06live there or

00:30:07you have a deep

00:30:07understanding.

00:30:08I mean, it's

00:30:08Israeli politics

00:30:10is, is very

00:30:11complicated.

00:30:14Um, very,

00:30:15very, very

00:30:15cutthroat as

00:30:16well.

00:30:17Very difficult.

00:30:19Um, where

00:30:21Israel's going,

00:30:22I, I can't

00:30:25say, um, you

00:30:27know, I could,

00:30:27I could talk

00:30:28about, about

00:30:30about where

00:30:31they're trying to

00:30:32push with

00:30:33regards to

00:30:33Iran.

00:30:34Yeah.

00:30:35I mean, I

00:30:36mean, uh, in

00:30:37Gaza, they're,

00:30:38they're, they're

00:30:38stuck.

00:30:39That's the way it

00:30:39seems.

00:30:41They're stuck.

00:30:41It wasn't as

00:30:42easy as, as

00:30:42they thought it

00:30:43was going to

00:30:43be.

00:30:44It doesn't

00:30:45mean that,

00:30:46um, that

00:30:49Hamas or

00:30:51Hezbollah

00:30:51were not

00:30:53weakened.

00:30:53they, I

00:30:54think they

00:30:54have been

00:30:55weakened.

00:30:56I mean, I

00:30:56think, I

00:30:56think if you

00:30:57say they're

00:30:57not weakened or

00:30:58something like

00:30:58that, I

00:30:59think that's

00:30:59not being

00:30:59honest.

00:31:00They have

00:31:01been weakened.

00:31:02Um, you

00:31:03know, but, but

00:31:03so has Israel.

00:31:06Yeah.

00:31:06Right.

00:31:07The economy's

00:31:08not in great

00:31:09shape either in

00:31:09Israel as well.

00:31:10So, I mean,

00:31:10Israel was

00:31:11weakened and,

00:31:12and, um, and

00:31:13now they're

00:31:14looking to, to

00:31:15get something

00:31:16going.

00:31:16At least Netanyahu

00:31:17is looking to get

00:31:17something going

00:31:17with Iran.

00:31:18It looks like

00:31:19Trump is not

00:31:20fighting at the

00:31:21moment.

00:31:22At least that's

00:31:23what we get

00:31:23from a New

00:31:24York Times

00:31:24report.

00:31:25I mean, I

00:31:25know people

00:31:25are going to

00:31:26probably watch

00:31:26this video.

00:31:26Of course,

00:31:27Trump wants

00:31:27to start a

00:31:28war with

00:31:28Iran.

00:31:29I'm going

00:31:29by, by

00:31:30various reports

00:31:31and, and

00:31:32I'm also

00:31:32going by, by

00:31:34the fact that

00:31:34that he does

00:31:35have, uh,

00:31:36uh, Whitcoff

00:31:37negotiating with

00:31:38Iran.

00:31:39And it looks

00:31:40like things are

00:31:40going well.

00:31:40And I say that

00:31:41not coming from

00:31:42the American

00:31:42side.

00:31:42I say that

00:31:43because that's

00:31:43what the

00:31:44Iranian side is

00:31:44saying.

00:31:45The Iranian

00:31:46side is saying

00:31:47things are

00:31:47going well.

00:31:49That's what we

00:31:49have to go

00:31:50off of.

00:31:51Now we have a

00:31:51report saying that

00:31:53Israel had a

00:31:54plan for a

00:31:55one-week, uh,

00:31:56strike, all

00:31:57about strike

00:31:58with the

00:31:58United States

00:31:59on nuclear

00:31:59facilities.

00:32:01Uh, the

00:32:01Trump, uh, the

00:32:02Trump administration

00:32:03turned it down.

00:32:04Trump, Hegseth,

00:32:06Gabbard, uh,

00:32:07Susie Wiles,

00:32:08they all said

00:32:09no.

00:32:09There were some

00:32:10people in the

00:32:10Trump administration

00:32:11that seemed to,

00:32:12to like this

00:32:13idea.

00:32:14And then you

00:32:14have Whitcoff.

00:32:15He's had two

00:32:15meetings with the

00:32:16Iranian foreign

00:32:17minister.

00:32:17The Iranian

00:32:18foreign minister

00:32:19has said that,

00:32:20that things are

00:32:20looking cautiously

00:32:21optimistic.

00:32:22Those were his

00:32:23words.

00:32:23Not my words.

00:32:25And we're now

00:32:25moving to

00:32:26technical talks.

00:32:27Now, uh,

00:32:28this is an easy

00:32:30deal.

00:32:31Because both

00:32:32sides want it.

00:32:33The United

00:32:34States doesn't

00:32:35want Iran to

00:32:36get nukes.

00:32:37Iran doesn't

00:32:38want nukes.

00:32:40Russia doesn't

00:32:40want Iran to

00:32:41get nukes.

00:32:41Saudi Arabia

00:32:41doesn't want

00:32:42Iran to get

00:32:42nukes.

00:32:43No one wants

00:32:43Iran to get

00:32:44nuclear weapons.

00:32:45Israel doesn't

00:32:46want Iran.

00:32:46No one wants

00:32:47Iran to get

00:32:47nuclear weapons.

00:32:48So, on the

00:32:49surface, this is a

00:32:50pretty easy deal.

00:32:51But, but you

00:32:53have the

00:32:53neocons, you

00:32:54have the

00:32:54hardliners in

00:32:55Israel who

00:32:56can keep on

00:32:57believing that

00:32:59all of their

00:33:02troubles, whether

00:33:04it's Hamas,

00:33:05whether it's

00:33:05Hezbollah.

00:33:05Hamas, I

00:33:06don't, you

00:33:06know, there's

00:33:07no connection.

00:33:08At least there

00:33:08wasn't a

00:33:08connection between

00:33:09Hamas and

00:33:10Iran.

00:33:10But, okay, they

00:33:11believe that

00:33:12Hamas, Hezbollah,

00:33:12everything, it all

00:33:14goes back to the

00:33:14source of Iran.

00:33:15You know, it's

00:33:16this belief that

00:33:17Iran is the

00:33:19source of all

00:33:19of their

00:33:21problems.

00:33:21And then all

00:33:22the problems in

00:33:22the Middle

00:33:23East, that's

00:33:23the belief.

00:33:24So, you have

00:33:24to cut off the

00:33:26head of the

00:33:26snake, right?

00:33:27So, I think

00:33:28that's the

00:33:28problem in all

00:33:29of this is can

00:33:30the Trump

00:33:31administration

00:33:31continue to

00:33:34work towards

00:33:36diplomacy with

00:33:39Iran if that

00:33:40is indeed the

00:33:41intention.

00:33:43I think that's

00:33:43where we are.

00:33:44you know, as

00:33:45far as, you

00:33:47know, the

00:33:47state of

00:33:48Israel or

00:33:48Netanyahu's

00:33:49position, I

00:33:50think it's

00:33:50hard to get a

00:33:51read for it.

00:33:52I really do.

00:33:53I talk to a

00:33:54lot of people

00:33:55who have

00:33:56different views

00:33:56on how they

00:33:58see the

00:33:59strength of

00:34:00the Netanyahu

00:34:01administration.

00:34:02Some people

00:34:02tell me he's

00:34:04very strong, a

00:34:05lot of support.

00:34:05Other people

00:34:05tell me he's

00:34:06not strong,

00:34:06doesn't have

00:34:07support.

00:34:07And, you

00:34:08know, once

00:34:08again, I

00:34:09live in a

00:34:09place which

00:34:10is about 20

00:34:10miles, 25

00:34:12miles from,

00:34:13I don't know

00:34:14however close

00:34:16to Israel,

00:34:17right?

00:34:17It's just

00:34:17right across,

00:34:1820 minute

00:34:18flight, 20

00:34:19minute flight

00:34:20we're in

00:34:20Israel, right?

00:34:22So, you

00:34:24know, everyone

00:34:25always tells me

00:34:26the same thing.

00:34:26Unless you're

00:34:27there and

00:34:27you see it,

00:34:28you're not

00:34:29really going to

00:34:29get a feel for

00:34:30what's really

00:34:30going on.

00:34:32So, I

00:34:33can't really

00:34:33say with

00:34:34confidence what's

00:34:36the state of

00:34:37the Netanyahu

00:34:37administration.

00:34:38I'm just not

00:34:39confident enough

00:34:40to say it.

00:34:40Yes, I

00:34:42think Mr.

00:34:43Cranor may

00:34:43have an

00:34:44idea from

00:34:45our previous

00:34:45conversation with

00:34:46Tom Luongo a

00:34:46few weeks ago.

00:34:48Certainly the

00:34:49internal state of

00:34:50Israel.

00:34:50Alex, any

00:34:51commentary on

00:34:51Israel?

00:34:53Well, you

00:34:54know, one of

00:34:55our friends is

00:34:55an independent

00:34:56journalist in

00:34:57Israel who

00:34:58said that the

00:34:59place, even

00:34:59before the

00:35:00October 7th

00:35:01happened, that

00:35:01the place is

00:35:02pretty much a

00:35:03shithole.

00:35:04And now it's

00:35:05a much worse

00:35:06shithole.

00:35:07a lot of

00:35:09Israelis are

00:35:09very disaffected.

00:35:12Many of

00:35:12them believe

00:35:13that 7th

00:35:13October was

00:35:14a false

00:35:16flag.

00:35:17Is this

00:35:17going on

00:35:17YouTube?

00:35:20It doesn't

00:35:20have to.

00:35:21Okay.

00:35:22I don't

00:35:23really mean

00:35:23that.

00:35:23I'm just

00:35:23citing what

00:35:24these people

00:35:27are saying.

00:35:28And then,

00:35:29you know, I

00:35:29think that

00:35:29Netanyahu's

00:35:30support and

00:35:31popularity, who

00:35:32the hell

00:35:33knows?

00:35:33Because I

00:35:34think it's

00:35:34like the

00:35:35VIX

00:35:35index, you

00:35:36know?

00:35:36it's like

00:35:37it's there

00:35:38very low

00:35:39and then it

00:35:40spikes and

00:35:41then it

00:35:41goes back to

00:35:41being there

00:35:42very low.

00:35:43You know,

00:35:43like it spikes

00:35:44when they

00:35:44managed to

00:35:45kill Hassan

00:35:46Nasrallah and

00:35:47then take

00:35:51Syria and

00:35:54then it

00:35:54falls right

00:35:55back into

00:35:55everybody hating

00:35:56Netanyahu.

00:35:58Well, not

00:35:58everybody, but

00:35:59I think by

00:36:00now it's a

00:36:00significant

00:36:01majority in

00:36:02Israel.

00:36:03Israel and

00:36:04I don't

00:36:06know the

00:36:06source of

00:36:07this, but

00:36:07Alistair Crook

00:36:08said it, that

00:36:0960% of

00:36:10Israelis,

00:36:11according to

00:36:11Israeli

00:36:12polls,

00:36:14believe that

00:36:14the country

00:36:15is headed

00:36:15for a

00:36:15civil war.

00:36:17Alistair Crook

00:36:17doesn't

00:36:18speak nonsense.

00:36:21He's very

00:36:22well informed.

00:36:23And so

00:36:23that's a

00:36:24staggering

00:36:24number of

00:36:27Israelis.

00:36:27civil wars

00:36:29are the

00:36:30worst kind

00:36:31of wars,

00:36:31the cruelest,

00:36:32the bloodiest,

00:36:33the most

00:36:33horrid.

00:36:34How many

00:36:35Israelis want

00:36:36to stay

00:36:36around for

00:36:37that if

00:36:38they have a

00:36:38choice to

00:36:39bail out?

00:36:41So, you

00:36:41know, the

00:36:42numbers of

00:36:43Israelis that

00:36:43are leaving or

00:36:44planning to

00:36:44leave, we

00:36:45don't know,

00:36:45but I

00:36:46think it's

00:36:47quite

00:36:47significant.

00:36:48What is

00:36:49the future?

00:36:50What is the

00:36:50future if you

00:36:52were there,

00:36:52if you wanted

00:36:53to have a

00:36:54career, to

00:36:54develop a

00:36:55business, to

00:36:55have a

00:36:57good life?

00:36:58I think

00:36:59that that's

00:36:59been dashed.

00:37:01And I

00:37:01think that

00:37:01probably a

00:37:04very, very

00:37:04substantial

00:37:05segment of

00:37:06the population

00:37:07as we speak

00:37:08is planning

00:37:08to just get

00:37:09the hell

00:37:09out.

00:37:11Yeah, that

00:37:12all makes

00:37:12sense.

00:37:13You would,

00:37:13wouldn't you?

00:37:13If it's a

00:37:14going down

00:37:15the pan,

00:37:15risk of

00:37:16conscription,

00:37:16ongoing war,

00:37:17no jobs,

00:37:18businesses

00:37:18collapsing.

00:37:20IDF.

00:37:21IDF is

00:37:21disintegrating.

00:37:24People are

00:37:25refusing to

00:37:26serve.

00:37:27Active

00:37:28duty soldiers

00:37:29are absolutely

00:37:30exhausted,

00:37:30demoralized.

00:37:33I can't

00:37:35imagine, I

00:37:36mean, unless

00:37:37they were

00:37:38attacked by

00:37:39an external

00:37:40enemy, and

00:37:41then everybody

00:37:42says, it's

00:37:44war, let's

00:37:44go, we have

00:37:45to defend

00:37:45ourselves.

00:37:46Unless that

00:37:47happens, I

00:37:48don't even

00:37:49see how

00:37:49Israel survives.

00:37:50Okay.

00:37:54All right.

00:37:55Alex, just

00:37:55for you, do

00:37:56you want to

00:37:56come back

00:37:56on anything,

00:37:57or we

00:37:57can go

00:37:58further

00:37:58south to

00:37:58Yemen and

00:38:00the

00:38:00Houthis?

00:38:03No, I

00:38:04mean, I'll

00:38:05just go back

00:38:05to what I

00:38:07said.

00:38:08I think it's

00:38:08difficult to

00:38:11get a feel

00:38:12for what is

00:38:12taking place

00:38:13unless you're

00:38:14there in

00:38:15that case.

00:38:16I say the

00:38:19same thing

00:38:19about

00:38:20understanding

00:38:21Russia in a

00:38:22way as well.

00:38:24There's certain

00:38:25places where

00:38:29unless you're

00:38:34there, you

00:38:34don't really

00:38:35get a feel

00:38:36for what's

00:38:36happening or

00:38:37how things

00:38:38are moving.

00:38:40I'm very

00:38:41confident in

00:38:42my Russia

00:38:43analysis because

00:38:44I go there

00:38:45quite often.

00:38:46I do have

00:38:47an understanding

00:38:47as to what's

00:38:48there.

00:38:49I think

00:38:50Israel, I'm

00:38:50very close to

00:38:51the region

00:38:51where I am

00:38:53right now.

00:38:54I think I

00:38:56may have a

00:38:57sense, but

00:38:58with Netanyahu

00:39:00and his

00:39:00administration,

00:39:03in a way,

00:39:04he does

00:39:05remind me of

00:39:06Erdogan

00:39:07in a way

00:39:07because

00:39:08everyone's

00:39:09always saying

00:39:10Erdogan,

00:39:10he's on

00:39:11his way

00:39:11out.

00:39:12Delira's

00:39:13crashing.

00:39:14Turkey's

00:39:14crashing.

00:39:16Alex, may I

00:39:17ask a

00:39:18question?

00:39:19Did you

00:39:19hear

00:39:20Netanyahu's

00:39:22speech this

00:39:23week?

00:39:25Which,

00:39:26probably not

00:39:27which,

00:39:28the speech

00:39:28which one?

00:39:30It was

00:39:30gosh,

00:39:31it was just

00:39:31there was a

00:39:32video segment

00:39:33that, yeah,

00:39:34I mean, there

00:39:34was a snippet

00:39:35that went

00:39:35around on

00:39:36it was like

00:39:37an ex,

00:39:37but I forgot

00:39:38what it was

00:39:38about.

00:39:38It was a

00:39:39whole speech

00:39:39to the

00:39:40nation.

00:39:42It was, I

00:39:42think, in, I

00:39:43think it was

00:39:44in Hebrew, but

00:39:45it was dubbed

00:39:46in English, and

00:39:47it was pretty

00:39:48much Hamas,

00:39:49Hamas,

00:39:50blah, blah,

00:39:51blah, blah, blah,

00:39:52blah, blah, blah,

00:39:53blaming all the

00:39:55problems of the

00:39:56country on

00:39:56Hamas.

00:39:58But to me, he

00:39:59seemed the

00:40:02opposite of

00:40:02confidence.

00:40:03You know, he

00:40:03made a show of

00:40:04confidence.

00:40:05He stood

00:40:06there, you

00:40:06know, tough

00:40:07and resolute

00:40:08and, but

00:40:10it seemed

00:40:11very thin.

00:40:13It somehow

00:40:14seemed very

00:40:15defensive and

00:40:17almost frightened.

00:40:19There is one

00:40:20thing that I

00:40:21do that

00:40:22actually we

00:40:22covered on

00:40:22the Duran

00:40:23and Alexander

00:40:25was actually

00:40:25talking about

00:40:26this and he

00:40:27was spot on

00:40:27in his

00:40:28analysis.

00:40:28It was about

00:40:29two months

00:40:30ago, perhaps.

00:40:32And that

00:40:32is that the

00:40:34Trump administration

00:40:35is trying

00:40:36to cover

00:40:39for Netanyahu

00:40:40in a sense

00:40:41that they

00:40:42they've taken

00:40:43the approach

00:40:44the Trump

00:40:44administration

00:40:44has taken

00:40:45the approach

00:40:45though he's

00:40:46not seeing

00:40:46eye to eye

00:40:47with Netanyahu

00:40:48with regards

00:40:49to getting

00:40:50into a war

00:40:50with Iran

00:40:51and escalating.

00:40:54He has

00:40:55taken the

00:40:56approach which

00:40:56is the

00:40:57devil you

00:40:58know is

00:40:59better than

00:40:59having Netanyahu

00:41:02out and then

00:41:02having all

00:41:03kinds of

00:41:04chaos because

00:41:05no one can

00:41:06predict what

00:41:06would happen

00:41:07in the

00:41:09politics in

00:41:09Israel if

00:41:10Netanyahu

00:41:10were to

00:41:11somehow be

00:41:13pushed aside.

00:41:14And so it

00:41:14does look like

00:41:15the Trump

00:41:15administration

00:41:16publicly

00:41:17they make

00:41:20it as the

00:41:20United States

00:41:21is absolutely

00:41:22going to

00:41:22support

00:41:23Netanyahu

00:41:24in the

00:41:26direction that

00:41:26he's going.

00:41:26Actually even

00:41:27I believe even

00:41:28yesterday Trump

00:41:29posted something

00:41:30on Truth

00:41:31Social.

00:41:31I forgot

00:41:31exactly the

00:41:32details of it

00:41:33where he

00:41:34said that he

00:41:34spoke with

00:41:34Netanyahu

00:41:35when they're

00:41:35on the

00:41:36same page.

00:41:37Yes.

00:41:37Yeah.

00:41:38Correct.

00:41:38And he's

00:41:40saying that

00:41:41stuff because

00:41:41it does look

00:41:42like the

00:41:42administration

00:41:42has taken

00:41:43the approach

00:41:44let's prop

00:41:46up Netanyahu

00:41:46because he is

00:41:47coming under

00:41:48serious pressure

00:41:48at home with

00:41:49all the rival

00:41:50factions and

00:41:51everyone looking

00:41:51to push him

00:41:52out.

00:41:53But let's

00:41:53keep him

00:41:54there because

00:41:54what we need

00:41:55is some

00:41:55sort of

00:41:56stability.

00:41:58Someone that

00:41:59we know

00:41:59that we can

00:42:00deal with that

00:42:00we know for

00:42:01so many years

00:42:02and at

00:42:03the same

00:42:03time as

00:42:04we're trying

00:42:05to provide

00:42:07cover for

00:42:07him we

00:42:09need to

00:42:09work out

00:42:10some sort

00:42:11of a way

00:42:11to de-escalate

00:42:12with Iran.

00:42:13So it's

00:42:13this very

00:42:14fine balancing

00:42:15act that

00:42:15they're playing

00:42:16with Israel

00:42:17the United

00:42:17States and

00:42:17it does

00:42:18make sense

00:42:18that that's

00:42:19where the

00:42:20Trump administration

00:42:20is moving

00:42:21with the

00:42:22region.

00:42:23Yeah.

00:42:23If Netanyahu

00:42:25stays it will

00:42:25be trouble but

00:42:26if he goes

00:42:27it will be

00:42:27double.

00:42:28That's why

00:42:29I said

00:42:29yeah that's

00:42:30what I said

00:42:30this is

00:42:31from what

00:42:31my

00:42:32understanding

00:42:32of the

00:42:33situation

00:42:33is it's

00:42:34very much

00:42:34the devil

00:42:35we know

00:42:35type of

00:42:36situation.

00:42:37And I

00:42:38think that

00:42:38people are

00:42:39really misreading

00:42:39a lot of

00:42:40the Trump

00:42:40administration

00:42:41because when

00:42:42you talk

00:42:42about Trump

00:42:43everyone gets

00:42:44very polarized

00:42:44and Biden

00:42:45was so much

00:42:46easier to

00:42:46deal with

00:42:47but when

00:42:47you deal

00:42:48with Trump

00:42:48you get

00:42:50it from

00:42:50all sides

00:42:50but if

00:42:51there's one

00:42:52thing that

00:42:52I think

00:42:52the Trump

00:42:53administration

00:42:53wanted

00:42:54when they

00:42:56first got

00:42:56into office

00:42:57is they

00:42:57wanted

00:42:57stability.

00:42:58now have

00:43:00they executed

00:43:00on that

00:43:01probably not

00:43:02things are

00:43:03incredibly

00:43:04unstable

00:43:04but I

00:43:05think that

00:43:05Trump

00:43:05the man

00:43:06his true

00:43:07intentions

00:43:07were I

00:43:09need to

00:43:09stabilize

00:43:09things in

00:43:11the world

00:43:11that means

00:43:12Israel

00:43:13that means

00:43:13Russia

00:43:14Iran

00:43:15all these

00:43:16things because

00:43:16I've got this

00:43:17ambitious agenda

00:43:18in the United

00:43:19States now

00:43:19I'm saying

00:43:20that's what he

00:43:21wanted to do

00:43:21or that was

00:43:22his belief

00:43:23I'm not

00:43:23saying that's

00:43:24what's

00:43:24happened

00:43:25three months

00:43:25later

00:43:26right

00:43:27because what's

00:43:28happened three

00:43:29months later

00:43:29campaigning on

00:43:30an anti-war

00:43:32ticket

00:43:32he started

00:43:33bombing the

00:43:33Houthis

00:43:34in order

00:43:36because the

00:43:37Houthis were

00:43:38putting pressure

00:43:38on Israel

00:43:39by the Red

00:43:40Sea blockade

00:43:41to restore

00:43:43the ceasefire

00:43:44which Israel

00:43:44had broken

00:43:45that's exactly

00:43:48right

00:43:48yeah to me

00:43:49that just doesn't

00:43:50explain itself

00:43:50it's so

00:43:51it's

00:43:52it's stupid

00:43:55so far beyond

00:43:56redemption

00:43:56that I

00:43:57I just cannot

00:43:58believe that

00:43:58the rationales

00:44:00that we know

00:44:00about are

00:44:01the reason

00:44:03for it

00:44:03yeah

00:44:04just before

00:44:05before you

00:44:06say why

00:44:07what you've

00:44:07said before

00:44:08certainly

00:44:08if you're

00:44:08going to

00:44:09say that

00:44:09and you

00:44:09might have

00:44:10to say

00:44:10it now

00:44:10even if

00:44:11you weren't

00:44:11going to

00:44:11say it

00:44:11because I've

00:44:12said this

00:44:12right

00:44:13but I was

00:44:14thinking about

00:44:15what you've

00:44:15said Alex

00:44:16why

00:44:18or the

00:44:19impact of

00:44:19the bombing

00:44:20on the

00:44:20Houthis

00:44:20on Europe

00:44:21where

00:44:23and why

00:44:24another reason

00:44:24why it may

00:44:25be valid

00:44:25we're always

00:44:26given

00:44:26a pretense

00:44:29a fraudulent

00:44:30reason for

00:44:31war

00:44:31you know

00:44:32with Iraq

00:44:33it was WMD

00:44:34instead of

00:44:34actually the

00:44:35him not

00:44:36preventing him

00:44:37from using

00:44:38the euro

00:44:38to sell

00:44:39oil

00:44:39with Libya

00:44:39because

00:44:40Gaddafi's

00:44:40a brutal

00:44:40dictator

00:44:41well actually

00:44:42no he was

00:44:43gonna back

00:44:44his currency

00:44:44with gold

00:44:45plus a few

00:44:45other things

00:44:46that the

00:44:46West didn't

00:44:46like

00:44:47with Russia

00:44:48it's Putin

00:44:49bad

00:44:49that's why

00:44:50we have

00:44:50to destroy

00:44:50Russia

00:44:51well the

00:44:5275 trillion

00:44:53dollars worth

00:44:53of resources

00:44:54may have

00:44:54something to

00:44:55do with

00:44:55it

00:44:55preposterous

00:44:57so do you

00:45:00want to say

00:45:01Alex I don't

00:45:02know Mr. Christopher

00:45:03I don't know if you've

00:45:03heard this take

00:45:04that Alex

00:45:05has said

00:45:07about the

00:45:08Houthis

00:45:09and Russia

00:45:09and sorry the

00:45:10US

00:45:10well you know

00:45:11as I was

00:45:12struggling with

00:45:12this question

00:45:13because it

00:45:14so doesn't

00:45:15make sense

00:45:15I can't

00:45:17even believe

00:45:18that they

00:45:18started bombing

00:45:19Yemen

00:45:20because you know

00:45:21like even if

00:45:22you have

00:45:22at the very

00:45:23top of the

00:45:24pyramid you

00:45:24have Donald

00:45:25Trump and

00:45:26Marco Rubio

00:45:27and Pete

00:45:28Hegseth and

00:45:28all these people

00:45:29and maybe they

00:45:30could all

00:45:30convince themselves

00:45:31that bombing

00:45:31Yemen is a

00:45:33good idea

00:45:33there's a

00:45:34whole hierarchy

00:45:34down there of

00:45:36military personnel

00:45:37who might say

00:45:39that's a bad

00:45:40idea we're not

00:45:41going to you

00:45:41know we're not

00:45:42going to get

00:45:42anything done

00:45:43other than

00:45:43risk getting

00:45:44one of our

00:45:45ships sunk

00:45:45aircraft downed

00:45:4721 or 22

00:45:49MQ-9 Reaper

00:45:50drones downed

00:45:52and so off

00:45:52to achieve

00:45:53exactly nothing

00:45:54but what it

00:45:55did achieve

00:45:56is that it

00:45:57closed the

00:45:57Red Sea

00:45:58to you know

00:46:01commercial maritime

00:46:02traffic not

00:46:03just for Israel

00:46:04which is what

00:46:06the Houthis

00:46:06originally intended

00:46:08but for

00:46:09everybody

00:46:10between 55

00:46:13and 60

00:46:14percent of

00:46:14all of

00:46:16the world's

00:46:16trade

00:46:17passes through

00:46:19the Red Sea

00:46:19and virtually

00:46:21all of it is

00:46:22Europe's trade

00:46:23so you

00:46:24basically

00:46:25blew up

00:46:26another

00:46:27Nord Stream

00:46:27biplan

00:46:28essentially

00:46:29for Europe

00:46:29so you

00:46:31actually bombed

00:46:32Europe

00:46:32economically

00:46:33and financially

00:46:34that's what

00:46:35happened

00:46:35whether they

00:46:36planned it

00:46:36this way

00:46:37whether this

00:46:38was intentional

00:46:38or not

00:46:39who knows

00:46:40but the fact

00:46:42so why do I

00:46:43think that

00:46:43it's because of

00:46:44what Larry

00:46:45Wilkerson

00:46:45explained about

00:46:46the tabletop

00:46:47exercise

00:46:48that they

00:46:49held

00:46:49exactly over

00:46:50this scenario

00:46:51and came to

00:46:52the conclusion

00:46:53that this is

00:46:54the hottest

00:46:55strategic spot

00:46:55in the world

00:46:56the Centcom

00:46:58called it

00:46:58the new

00:46:59global hub

00:47:00of competitiveness

00:47:01and now

00:47:02it's cut

00:47:02off

00:47:03is that

00:47:06plausible

00:47:07I think

00:47:07it is

00:47:07plausible

00:47:08is it

00:47:08a reason

00:47:09I don't

00:47:10know

00:47:11sorry

00:47:12sorry

00:47:12not to

00:47:13damage

00:47:14Europe

00:47:14yeah

00:47:15exactly

00:47:16to

00:47:17to

00:47:18to strike

00:47:19a blow

00:47:19against

00:47:19Europe

00:47:20which would

00:47:21be just

00:47:21one of

00:47:22one in

00:47:22a

00:47:23sequence

00:47:24in a

00:47:26consistent

00:47:26sequence

00:47:27of blows

00:47:27by the

00:47:28United States

00:47:29against

00:47:30Europe

00:47:30it's just

00:47:32like one

00:47:33thing after

00:47:33another

00:47:33you know

00:47:34the tariffs

00:47:34the

00:47:35the

00:47:36Nord Stream

00:47:37too

00:47:37that wasn't

00:47:38Trump

00:47:38but you

00:47:39know

00:47:39I don't

00:47:39know

00:47:39who

00:47:39actually

00:47:40crafts

00:47:40policy

00:47:41the

00:47:41administrations

00:47:42are executing

00:47:43them

00:47:43I don't

00:47:44know

00:47:44who

00:47:44crafts

00:47:44it

00:47:45they like

00:47:4710%

00:47:47tariffs on

00:47:48the UK

00:47:4820%

00:47:49on the

00:47:49European

00:47:49Union

00:47:505%

00:47:51protection

00:47:51racket

00:47:51you know

00:47:525%

00:47:53of the

00:47:53GDP

00:47:53protection

00:47:54racket

00:47:54the

00:47:54protection

00:47:55racket

00:47:55doubled

00:47:55and on

00:47:57and on

00:47:57and then

00:47:58you know

00:47:58when Trump

00:47:59entered

00:47:59office

00:48:00the euro

00:48:01was

00:48:02$1.04

00:48:05now the

00:48:06euro is

00:48:07$1.14

00:48:08so now

00:48:10all the

00:48:11European imports

00:48:12in the United

00:48:12States are

00:48:13suddenly 9%

00:48:14more expensive

00:48:14and the

00:48:16American

00:48:16exports to

00:48:17Europe

00:48:18are 9%

00:48:18cheaper

00:48:19so it's just

00:48:21one thing

00:48:21after another

00:48:22they want to

00:48:22scoop up

00:48:23Europe's
