Short filmTranscript
00:00All right, Alexander, let's talk about the European Union and Ursula's trip to London
00:07to meet with Stammer.
00:10It's my opinion that these meetings are all about rolling back Brexit.
00:19And who better to help the EU and the UK roll back Brexit, join forces, unite than Putin,
00:27than Russia, right?
00:29Russia's like the Swiss army knife for globalists.
00:33It can solve all kinds of globalist problems, right?
00:36So Ursula and Stammer, they're talking about how the UK and the EU, they need to reintegrate
00:43to get closer together in order to take on the threat of Putin.
00:49Ursula claimed that Russia cut off the gas to Europe.
00:54They love saying that, but that's her claim.
00:57Stammer is talking about the UK-EU unity.
01:02The subject of unity, Alexander, the European Union is trying to hold it together, it seems.
01:12What are your thoughts?
01:13Ursula coming to London and meeting with Stammer, you're absolutely right in the sense that obviously
01:22their main topic is going to be Ukraine and all of that.
01:26But the reality, the underlying substance of it is one further big step, one big step at a time
01:35towards bringing Britain back into the EU.
01:39I mean, this is the agenda.
01:42And by the way, if you follow the British media, you can see this.
01:46You can see that two of the most strident pro-Ukraine, pro-Zelensky,
01:54anti-Trump media outlets in Britain are the Financial Times and The Guardian.
02:01And they're constantly saying that what Britain now needs to do is to make a choice between
02:07the United States and the EU.
02:11And of course, it goes without saying that what they're saying, what Britain should do,
02:16what Stammer should do, which is, of course, exactly what he wants to do,
02:20which is to turn back towards the EU.
02:22And the objective, to be clear, is to get Britain back into the EU, not parts of the EU,
02:33to take it completely back in, to reverse Brexit entirely, and to do so as quickly as possible
02:43before elections happen in Britain, in which reform is likely to do well,
02:49particularly in the working class Labour constituencies, where reform is apparently
02:55making big progress, and where people voted overwhelmingly for Brexit.
03:02So this is part of the agenda.
03:04You use Ukraine, you use the topic of Ukraine to facilitate the reversal of Brexit.
03:11No doubt about it.
03:13But having said that, there is a bigger story here as well,
03:16because one of the most extraordinary things over the last couple of days, the last week
03:22or so, is that the Americans presented their plan for a final settlement of the conflict
03:28in Ukraine, or at least a settlement of the conflict in Ukraine.
03:33I'm not sure how final it would really be.
03:35But anyway, a settlement of the conflict in Ukraine, which is basically the Kellogg plan.
03:39Now, the Kellogg plan, I don't think it has any prospect of success, but at least it does
03:48take into account some of the realities that the Russians occupy huge territories of eastern
03:54Ukraine, that they are in control of Crimea, that none of that is going to be reversed, that
04:01the Russians adamantly oppose Ukraine joining NATO, that so long as Ukraine exercises or purports
04:08to exercise or intends to exercise the right to join NATO, the conflict in Ukraine is going
04:14to continue.
04:16The Europeans reject that wholly.
04:19They rejected the plan in its entirety.
04:23They backed Zelensky to the hill when he rejected the plan entirely.
04:29I was reading in the British media, UN officials, named EU officials, including a political ally
04:38in Germany of Friedrich Metz, and this person is a member of the CDU, a named MP within the
04:46CDU, say that for the Europeans, they have two red lines.
04:51One is recognition of Crimea, or indeed of any Russian territory, or any Russian-controlled
04:57territory, there must be no recognition of them, because that would supposedly destroy
05:03the rules-based order that has preserved peace in Europe and all that nonsense.
05:07That's one thing they said.
05:09The other is that there can be no question of in any way compromising on Ukraine's right
05:17to join NATO.
05:18That is an absolute inviolable, inviolate thing.
05:23Now, notice that they are not coming up with any proposal, alternative peace proposal of
05:33their own.
05:34The war in Ukraine is being lost.
05:38They've heard that the Americans are preparing to walk away.
05:42The amount of military equipment being sent to Ukraine from the United States is diminishing.
05:47They're in no position to replace it, and they know that perfectly well.
05:51So they're not coming up with any peace proposal.
05:54They are rejecting the American peace proposal, which at least is based on some of the realities.
06:03They want to continue this conflict with Russia in Ukraine.
06:09And it's clear, given that Ukraine is losing the war, that they are prepared to sacrifice Ukraine
06:17to that end.
06:19Now, the question is why.
06:22Now, I've come to the conclusion that for the Europeans, for Ursula and her people, for
06:27Merzid, it is no longer a question of defeating Russia.
06:33It is no longer a question of preserving Ukraine.
06:38It is not even about keeping the United States involved in Europe.
06:44It is about preserving the European Union.
06:49It's all about now the existence of the EU itself.
06:53Because from a European point of view, what they've come to believe, and I think, by the
07:00way, that they are right about this, is that if there is a peace agreement over Ukraine,
07:09it will shatter EU unity, probably beyond repair.
07:15In the sense of the Baltic states, Poland will reject such an agreement, whatever its form.
07:23Whereas other countries, not just Hungary and Slovakia, but big countries like Italy,
07:31will accept it, and they will start voting if the EU centre tries to preserve the sanctions
07:39against Russia.
07:41They will start voting.
07:43These big countries will start voting in the EU Council to have vetoing against further extensions
07:51of the sanctions, causing the entire sanctions regime to break down.
07:56Now, that is, for the EU centre, a critical danger.
08:05It is almost an existential risk.
08:08Because exactly as you said at the start of the programme, they have now built the entire
08:14project of EU integration, and by the way, of bringing Britain back into the EU, they built
08:25it around hostility to Russia, hostility to Putin, this idea that Europe is going to be constructed
08:35on the back of opposing the Russian hordes that are supposedly on the brink of invading Europe.
08:44And taking it all over.
08:46So this is what it has all devolved into now.
08:52Exactly.
08:53Exactly.
08:53You want money for climate change?
08:56You got to do it because of Putin.
08:57You want money for the military?
08:59We got to do it because of Putin.
09:00We need a fund for this or that, for infrastructure?
09:03Well, we got to do it because of Putin.
09:05We want to reverse Brexit?
09:06We got to do it because of Putin.
09:07Everything now is built around Project Ukraine, even more specifically around Russia.
09:13So Russia is going to serve all of the EU's purposes, all of its slush funds, whatever
09:21it needs to do.
09:23Censorship, you got to censor it because of Putin.
09:25Cancel elections?
09:26Well, we got to cancel elections because of Putin.
09:29So Russia is key.
09:30Russia is the platform, the policy of the European Union.
09:36It's the reason that Europe exists now, is Russia.
09:40So if the US is not fighting Russia, then why should the European Union even exist?
09:49And going back to Italy, on a side note, did you read the story about the ICC documents
09:57that never made it to the judge on purpose?
10:01Obviously, the Italians, very high up officials, they didn't submit the ICC warrant papers or
10:08something like that to the proper court.
10:10And so there is no ICC warrant against Putin.
10:13I'm not saying that Putin is going to travel to Italy, but obviously that shows you the
10:17fact that a country like Italy, the third biggest power in the European Union, is obviously
10:25there are people very high up who are waiting for the opportunity to break from Ursula's
10:32iron fist, from her rule, from her unity.
10:35Obviously, Hungary is a country that has broken away and just needs support.
10:41You have Slovakia.
10:43Fica going to victory day on May 9th.
10:47The European Union is furious.
10:48Orban is saying that he's hinting that maybe he's not going to vote for the renewing of
10:55sanctions and the frozen assets.
10:57The EU is terrified about those frozen assets being released back to Russia because who knows
11:03what funny business was going on there.
11:04Absolutely.
11:06Just before you continue with that.
11:07I'm done.
11:08I'm done.
11:08So all of those things, all of those things are at risk.
11:12Because on the question of the frozen assets, you remember some months ago, maybe a year
11:17ago, you said that they'd probably already dipped into the capital because the interest
11:21was not enough to cover all that they've been doing.
11:24And I'm sure you're absolutely right about that.
11:27There isn't.
11:27Those were 240 billion euros of assets in EuroClear.
11:34When we actually do the accounts, we'll find out that there's an awful lot less.
11:39And of course, a lot of the interest has already been used, all kinds of things.
11:43The Estonians have already talked about this.
11:45They've already said that if the assets are unfrozen, then European taxpayers are going
11:52to take a hammering because much of that money has already gone and they'll get to be legally
11:57obliged to return it.
11:59And it isn't there anymore.
12:00But that's just the frozen assets.
12:02I mean, there's all sorts of other things that one could say here.
12:06First of all, about Italy.
12:07Let's talk about Italy.
12:08I mean, you're absolutely right about the whole ICC warrant business, about the papers never
12:13reaching the judge and all that is clearly done on purpose.
12:18But look at what Italy has been doing quietly without much, you know, attracting a lot of
12:28attention over the last couple of weeks.
12:31First of all, Maloney has been to, I think it was Mar-a-Lago.
12:34She's met with Trump in the United States.
12:38She's apparently a very friendly meeting with Trump.
12:42She is not supporting this.
12:45She's never supported.
12:46In fact, she's always opposed the plan to send European troops to Ukraine as part of a peacekeeping
12:53force, reassurance force, whatever it is.
12:56Apparently, Italy has stopped sending weapons to Ukraine.
13:00I mean, this has apparently been going on for quite a long time.
13:06And Italy has been quietly, apparently supporting American moves towards negotiating an end of
13:13the conflict.
13:14Italy is not even increasing military spending.
13:18They're not spending 2% of GDP on military.
13:22And they apparently have no plans to do so.
13:26Italy has quietly bailed out of the whole Project Ukraine project.
13:33I mean, they've bailed out of it.
13:36They've done it in a very clever way.
13:38They've done it in a way that doesn't attract attention.
13:41Maloney still goes to all the meetings.
13:43She doesn't say very much.
13:45When she does say things, she says it very much to the point.
13:48But in all practical terms, they're out.
13:53Now, all the other countries that you mentioned, Hungary, obviously, Orban is saying that he's
13:57going to veto any rollback of sanctions.
14:00If there were a deal, he probably would do it because he would have the Americans and the
14:06Russians behind him and not just the Americans and the Russians, but a lot of other people
14:10too.
14:11Fyca is in open mutiny.
14:13He's going to Moscow for the 9th of May.
14:16Nothing will persuade him not to go.
14:20And, of course, in other countries, you see simmering rebellions as well.
14:25In Germany, as we saw, the eye of death continues to grow in strength.
14:30In France and Britain, well, we talked about reform, but there's also opposition to Macron
14:37in France and, of course, in Romania.
14:40One of the courts have now overturned the decisions, the administrative decisions to barge
14:50your gasket from participating in the elections.
14:53There's now a huge new political – there's now attempts to get higher courts to overturn
15:03it.
15:04We've had French officials – remember we talked about the presence of the French troops
15:09in Romania?
15:10And that might be one of the major reasons why the EU and generally were so keen to prevent
15:22Giorgescu being elected.
15:25Anyway, the French are apparently meeting with all kinds of top officials in Romania.
15:31And apparently – and I haven't seen this – I haven't seen reliable confirmation of this,
15:38but I've seen reports about it – the Electoral Commission in Romania are saying that if the
15:44court order stands allowing Giorgescu to participate in the elections, they will defy it.
15:53They will simply ignore the court order.
15:55So, you could see that there is a battle underway right across Europe.
16:02And how do you preserve EU unity?
16:06How do you move forward with every single part of the project?
16:10How do you start getting people to agree to – states to agree, Germans to agree to euro bonds,
16:19war bonds as they will initially be, but ultimately euro bonds as well?
16:24How do you get all of that done?
16:26You do that by prolonging the conflict, by telling people in Europe that there's this
16:31existential conflict with Russia, that the Russians are on – that the Russians are coming,
16:37that the Russians are at the gates, that we have to rearm and re-equip and centralize everything.
16:44The Americans are leaving us.
16:46We've got to build up the European army to hold the Russians back.
16:51We've got to do all of this industrialization, which is, you know, to underpin rearmament and
16:59it's all got to be organized in Brussels.
17:02They want to continue to be able to say that because that's the only way now that they can
17:08scotch all of these dissident forces that are starting to develop across Europe, bring the
17:17Italians back into line, get the British back into the EU, crush, Orban, FITZO, and all of the others,
17:29ban the IFD as a pro-Russian party.
17:34That's the only way they can do it, by keeping the war going.
17:37Reverse Brexit as well.
17:39Reverse Brexit, absolutely.
17:40So basically they need time.
17:41What the EU is fighting for is time.
17:45That's right.
17:46And I wonder what their timeline is.
17:48Is their timeline another year, a year and a half in the sense that they're saying, you
17:55know what, let's wait out Trump.
17:58Yeah.
17:58We're not going to be able to beat the United States.
18:00No.
18:01We're a vassal to the United States.
18:02We are a vassal to the United States.
18:04We know it.
18:05So let's wait out Trump till the midterms.
18:10Exactly.
18:10And then maybe we'll get the Democrats in there and then they can start investigations
18:14on Trump and then we're in the clear.
18:16Or is it, let's wait out Trump until the next elections and maybe not only will we not
18:21have, we'll also have a Democrat in one of the chambers in Congress, but maybe we'll
18:29also get a Gavin Newsom president or someone as president who's just going to go to, who's
18:36going to default to Obama, Biden, foreign policies.
18:40So is the plan, let's wait out Trump until the midterms or is it let's wait out Trump
18:49until the next election cycle?
18:51So in order to wait out Trump so they can get back to the good old days with Biden, with
18:56the Biden, Obama type of administration in the US, it's important that they keep the
19:04conflict in Ukraine going, even if they have to sacrifice all of Ukraine, maybe Ukraine
19:11can last another year or two.
19:14If we could just give them enough support, they can last a year or two and then we've
19:18got changes in the US.
19:20Absolutely.
19:21So is that the timeline?
19:24Absolutely.
19:26Can I just say something?
19:27I think that the key is the midterms because the other thing about Ukraine is that Ukraine
19:35is the issue of Ukraine, the topic of Ukraine not only helps the EU to preserve its own unity,
19:44but it's also the issue, the one issue that the Democrats have and which is bringing them
19:51all together because at the moment the Democrats look to be in a very, very bad shape indeed.
19:57I mean, they're continuing apparently to sink in spite of all of Trump's problems.
20:02But clearly you want the Democrats to come back and come back strong in the midterms to
20:12at least recapture maybe the House, even if they can't manage the Senate.
20:16But at least something to put Trump on the defensive, to then bog Trump down in all kinds of investigations
20:25and all of those sort of things.
20:28So I suspect the calculation is that you only have to wait until the midterms.
20:34I think the view, the conventional wisdom in Europe is that Trump's popularity is going to implode.
20:44I'm not saying this is going to happen, but I think that's what all of these people are saying to each other.
20:49Trump's popularity is going to implode because there's going to be a recession in the United States.
20:54The tariff policy isn't going so well.
20:56All of that.
20:57Trump's popularity is going to implode.
20:59And the Democrats will sweep back in with the midterms, then we're through the danger point.
21:07If we can keep Ukraine going until then, fine, we're through.
21:14We've come through what happens to Ukraine after really doesn't matter anymore.
21:19And, of course, you use Ukraine to hold things together in Europe, and you use the topic of Ukraine to hold the Democrats together as well.
21:30Because at the moment, as I said, they don't look to be in good shape at all.
21:35And they're very unpopular, even with most of their own voters.
21:38Yeah, and it gives the EU the time that it needs if they get a result that's favorable to them in the midterms in the US.
21:48It gives them the time that they need to get Italy back in line, to regime change Orban, to regime change FITSO, to ramp up the censorship, to put in place CBDCs and digital currency and all that for the euro.
22:04It gives them time to do all of these things, to create big, massive slush funds for defense spending, big, massive slush funds for climate and all of that stuff.
22:12Yeah, so they need to keep Ukraine fighting, sacrifice Ukraine even, sacrifice Ukraine in order to keep the whole Russia is our enemy narrative going, in order to give them the time they need to build up the center of Brussels.
22:37Exactly.
22:38To build up the strength in the center, yeah.
22:39Because to state it again, if your priority was not just to preserve Ukraine, but to preserve the existing setup in Ukraine, which is what they say, they would be backing the Kellogg plan.
22:55Yeah.
22:56David, the Kellogg plan is the best possible plan Ukraine can hope to get.
23:05When Trump says that if this goes on long enough, there won't be any Ukraine left, what he said in his latest Truth Social post, that in three years you won't have your country, he's absolutely right.
23:19But no one, notice, no one in Europe addresses that issue.
23:25No one in Europe actually addresses the realities on the ground.
23:32Yeah.
23:33All right.
