00:00Hi, everybody. Today is Wednesday, April 30th, 2025, and our friend, Andrei Martinov,
00:11is back with us. Welcome, Mike Andrei. My pleasure.
00:16Andrei, whenever we talk about the conflicts in terms of the foreign policy of the United States
00:23in Ukraine, in the Middle East, the future of China, and the situation between China and the
00:30United States, the main factor to be evaluated is the military of the United States.
00:40Donald Trump came to power. He thought that he can defeat Yemen, and he sent and he tried to
00:47fight Yemenis so far. How do you find, what is the situation, the current situation of the American
00:54army? And how did you see the way that Yemenis are fighting the United States in the Red Sea?
01:03Well, we have to understand, by not trying to denigrate United States army, it's definitely
01:11the army with its own history. There are some own, you know, street decor. And then you have,
01:17of course, U.S., when we say army, you have to understand armed forces. And there is, of course,
01:23glorious U.S. Navy, which is, you know, made a gigantic reputation totally deservedly during the
01:31Pacific War. So I by no means try to, you know, denigrate or diminish them. But truth is,
01:38for the last 30 years, well, more than that, actually, it was primarily the mythology,
01:45U.S. media, and they call it for a reason that it was military industrial
01:52media congressional complex. So, and U.S. media and Hollywood are really good at promoting this,
01:57you know, clean image, and, you know, but reality is, of course, it never was as powerful as it
02:03tried to portray itself. And even by 1970s, the all fighting concepts, for example, of the U.S. Navy
02:11and its carrier-centric nature have been basically put into question by none other than, at that time,
02:22Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Elmo Zumbold. Because with the development of the
02:29long-range strike capabilities, and these were Russians who introduced first, you know, real
02:37anti-shipping cruise missiles, which could hit things, you know, as Israelis learned in 1967,
02:43after Eilat was sunk by Egyptian Kamar-class
02:47U.S. missile cutters, essentially. So, and then suddenly, the whole idea that you can move there,
02:59this floating, rumbling, you know, giant of the CVM, you know, the nuclear power carrier to some
03:08third world country, and you can start bombing it, because using the, obviously, the,
03:14what the DEX cycle, as much you can launch all those, either, you know, sustained strikes, or
03:21alpha strikes, or whatever, what have you, we kind of feel a feat of American psychology of the war,
03:28you know, and the really idealized idea about the air power. And as a result, you see yourself today that
03:37it's not that difficult to exhaust the stores of the missiles in what is the, today, the carrier battle
03:47group, and its main air defense complex, if you wish, which usually couple of the
03:53air power-class destroyers, with each, with 96 cells of the MK-41 VLS, which is vertical launch system.
04:03Not all of them, obviously, carry the anti-air defense missiles, but at least half of them does,
04:09and those are ranging from SM-2, SM-3s to, for intercepting ballistic missiles, you know,
04:17they think that they can, they can't really, but, and all kinds of other missiles, they have their SM-6.
04:25So that's about it, you know, they, they have their rim, those sea sparrows, variants, you know,
04:31which is evolution of the, those missiles, and what, what it takes, it takes probably what, 100 drones
04:40to immediately, you know, so, uh, make it, uh, expendable, essentially, the whole, uh, store of
04:48those missiles, and then suddenly, what happens? You have to move your, uh, aircraft carrier, which is an
04:54extremely valuable asset. The carrier itself, the hull, without air wing, is anywhere between 10 to 13
05:02billion dollars. It is immensely the most expensive asset in military, ever. So, can you mention the
05:09political, and actually military ramifications if something hits it, let alone if something damages
05:15it, not to speak about, uh, sinking it. So, what do you do? You have to move it away, uh, deeper into
05:22the ocean, or into the sea, to stay away from all those, well, long-range fires. They could be very
05:28primitive, but still, they can fly hundreds of kilometers. And suddenly, everything you knew about
05:35it, yeah, you can fly your F-18s, whatever you want, and you can bond whatever, you know, uh, from Yemenis,
05:41for example, that they have enough, uh, where without air to continue to launch those old, uh, subsonic, uh,
05:49entire shipping missiles, which are shut down, obviously. But, when you have enough of them,
05:57what do you do? You deplete the carrier battle group of its defensive weapons. Simple as that. Of course,
06:06they theoretically can go and get all those F-18s with, you know, with the shoot down, uh, look down,
06:12shoot down capability, uh, you know, uh, against the clutter of this, uh, sea, and shoot down some
06:20missiles or some drones, but you will not be able to control it completely. And as the result, we saw, uh,
06:26uh, what happened to, uh, um, Truman aircraft carrier a few days back when it had to maneuver very
06:33violently to evidently avoid the, uh, whatever was flying towards it. And, uh, basically what happened
06:42it, uh, you know, one of the F-18s and the, uh, TAG, the, you know, the thing which, uh, you know, the,
06:48uh, which, uh, moves it around the deck, they fell over the, fell over the deck, pretty much. That was the result.
07:00You see, that's simple. You do not have to have any more one-for-one, uh, type of the weaponry weapon system.
07:09You can do it just basic math and, uh, basic technologies.
07:16What can they do, in your opinion, in the case of Yemen? Is that an option to go underground to fight Yemen?
07:25Yeah, that probably puts inserted some forces, you know, they're like, uh, special forces. I don't know,
07:32seals or what have you, but obviously they are not capable to conduct the real warfare.
07:38No, United States cannot go into Yemen unless it wants to experience second, uh, Afghanistan.
07:44Okay, and that will actually also mobilize other people to come to help. So it's, um,
07:53no, United States cannot take casualties and, uh, so that's the result. And yes, this operation now lasts for what?
08:01It has the funniest name ever. Prosperity Guardian, you know, it's just like, what the hell is that?
08:07But, um, yeah, it doesn't, uh, achieve any success. And the main goal, military and political goal,
08:15to unblocking the essentially Red Sea and Suez Canal, hasn't been achieved. There are, uh,
08:22marine traffic there is down 90%. Evidently, who just won? You know, if they can't keep this thing,
08:29you know, closed and they have to go around, you know, uh, Africa, which is extremely expensive and
08:36it's much longer. So yeah, it's, it is what it is. I mean, nothing could be changed about it.
08:42And it doesn't matter how many, well, you theoretically can put all aircraft carriers there. They can bring
08:48definitely a serious air power, but you know, uh, what can I say? I mean, it's, uh, what, what are
08:57they gonna bomb? You see, that's the other funny part. They can bomb only civilian targets primarily. That's
09:04fine. Yeah, they're short of targets in Yemen because they have, they don't have that much of
09:10intelligence coming out of Yemen. No, no. Yeah. You can do some, uh, uh, through the satellite and
09:17recon flights, but Yemen, Yemen is shoot down those, uh, reapers and Q9, whatever the name of those,
09:24uh, uh, really nicely, you know, that they know how to deal with that thing, you know? So in this case,
09:30yeah, you have their, uh, limitations in terms of the intel. You have to obviously have the targets,
09:36uh, and you have to identify them. Uh, otherwise it all ends up the same as in Afghanistan. You
09:42blew up their, uh, family or, you know, wedding or any kind of party of the civilians, women and
09:49children. So that's what you end up doing. But reality is, of course, yeah, you have to have a very
09:54good intelligence. You have to have a high probability of identifying, uh, targets and, but evidently it's not
10:02the case anymore. And as I already stated also that once you begin to move your, uh, aircraft carrier
10:10away, which is like now suddenly it's hundreds of kilometers, you cannot move it closer than,
10:15I don't know, 300 to 500 kilometers. Uh, so suddenly your ranges become, well, much longer for your
10:22aviation. You know, you have to constantly have those, they have the F-18s which, uh, serve as the, um,
10:30uh, refuel, uh, aircraft or you have to have the, uh, larger aircraft, uh, which have to fly into the
10:37area to, uh, you know, get your fuel for your, uh, attack package, you know, F-18s, uh, and, uh,
10:46and that suddenly complicates situation, you know, and again, you have to put your carrier back to
10:53port to replenish this constantly expanded, you know, uh, uh, this, uh, ammunition stocks and
11:01stores and things of this nature. So yeah, it becomes very complex. I mean, it's, uh, you can
11:06definitely, uh, kind of secure more or less your carrier on station, but this is until, and that's
11:14where it all becomes, uh, interesting. Uh, many people ask if they have their, uh, if, uh, who just
11:22have their, uh, Bastion and, uh, P-800 Onyx in the export version, which is Yachand. It goes onto the
11:31export as Yachand. Syrians used to have that. It's 300 kilometer range. It's limited by 300 kilometer
11:38range against the, it's standard between 800 and 1,000 kilometer range, but this is a completely
11:43different game. And that's why I also think that's why they moved the carrier also back,
11:50you know, in towards the sea, uh, because with, uh, Yachand, it's a completely different game.
11:58These are Mach 2.5, and they are violently maneuvering, and they are actually have their,
12:04well, what would define today's artificial intelligence. So, uh, do they have that?
12:10Who knows? You know, what it takes if you read actually the book by Douglas MacGregor,
12:18which was his best book ever. Uh, after that, it wasn't as good what he, but that was an outstanding
12:24book, Breaking the Phalanx. And he says that what it takes to scare the carrier battle group is somebody
12:31to drop their, uh, the drum of oil accidentally overboard, and everybody like freaking out.
12:38Uh, here what it takes, somebody can simply insert the, even fictitious information that,
12:43oh yeah, they received Yachands. And guess what? That would immediately, they have to go,
12:48because in this case, it's very difficult to intercept that, if possible at all, if it is a
12:54salvo, and you don't want to deal with this because that thing, uh, single missile can sink the
12:59destroyer. Okay? So, and that's the conundrum US Navy is facing now, and yeah, that is why there's very
13:06little success. You cannot just, you know, go around there bombing something. They bomb some caves maybe,
13:13you know, so they have the good infrared and good, you know, optic electronic systems too. But other than
13:19that, you have to go to Sana. What are you going to do with Sana, the capital? Do you want to bomb the
13:25whole city with the civilians? You know how it will look like. So, that's what we have.
13:33We know that the United States Navy wasn't able to, in the way that they were using the bunker
13:41buster bombs to just destroy the arsenal of Yemen. It seems that they, there are people talking about
13:52that the Donald Trump in his first administration order a new sort of bomb, nuclear bomb, a new bunker
13:58buster bomb to do that. Andre, to my understanding, when you look, when you use a nuclear bomb, nuclear
14:07bomb is just on the surface. It's just spreading on the surface. It's not that much deep. But how
14:16is that possible that they have a new sort of bomb, a nuclear bomb, a bunker buster bomb, which is
14:24different from what we've seen so far from the United States that they're preparing to, I don't know,
14:30attack in Yemen or maybe Iran to use it? Let's put it this way. While the United States remains the
14:40nuclear superpower, there are a number of technological issues which the United States is facing now,
14:46which they do not want to admit, or as some of our common acquaintance was trying to sell as some kind
14:56of unheard of achievement, in reality, it is there actually a manifestation of the inferiority. For example,
15:04those fuses for the nuclear mirrors from multiple reentry vehicles, tried in two missiles, or for that matter,
15:17but especially tried in two missiles. The reason being is because in order to defeat, for example,
15:23the silos of the modern Russian, already starting from the 70s, actually, but 80s and now,
15:30what is the silo of the land-based ballistic missile in Russia? It can withstand direct heat,
15:40but exploding over it, you know, up to 150 to 200 kilotons. It will still remain operational. So,
15:50what you need to do, especially when you shoot with the tridents, in order for you to
15:55diminish the time, cut the time of the flight of the, you know, the bus itself, the missile and the
16:05bus when it separates and then a warheads fly. You do it by the suppressed ballistic trajectory.
16:13They're not this parabola, you know, but it's much more suppressed, you know. It still flies into space,
16:18but it is much more suppressed. And what you have, you begin to lose, because it is obviously suppressed,
16:24you begin to lose accuracy. So, what do you need to do? You need to some kind of diffuse, which have
16:29to at least explode over the silo. And that's the only thing, which is essentially tells you,
16:35oh, okay, so you're suppressed, you still cannot keep it, you know. So, and this is exactly what is
16:41happening. Now, what would be, for example, in this case, the, you know, a bunker buster, a nuclear
16:50device. You probably will have to have some same technology like the bunker buster, but with the
16:58nuclear warhead, which can penetrate deeper. Could it be done here? I'm pretty sure they could,
17:04but that's the issue. There is a huge issue with the nukes themselves and processing and creating new
17:11nuclear warheads for the United States. It is issue with the plutonium and all kinds of things of this
17:17nature. So, but, but, you have to understand, whenever we talk about it, is it technologically
17:25feasible? Yes. But what, if they use nuclear weapons on hootis, that is going to be the outcry all over
17:37the world. And they will humiliate themselves even more themselves, because that will tell you how
17:42important they are to deal with this threat. And make no mistake, I, while, uh, sympathizing with
17:50people of Gaza and all that, you know, and even with hootis, I understand, but what they do is actually
17:56against the international law. They did indeed choke their, uh, one of the major choke points of the
18:04shipping lanes of communications for the international trade. So it's kind of like, hmm, yeah, it's such a
18:12how to say, blade running also, almost, right? And, uh, so in this case, the political, uh, political
18:20consequences will be horrendous for the United States. Horrendous. I mean, it's just, my gosh.
18:27So if they decide to do it, let alone if they try to do this to Iran, my gosh, it's, let's not go there.
18:34It's going to be, uh, uh, United States will not recognize itself the next day. If, if Gatto beats
18:40it, cap us, you know, because of the reaction of the international community and the rest of it.
18:47Yeah. Andre, we had a meeting between Donald Trump and Zelensky
18:52in Italy. And the way that Donald Trump himself is talking about the conflict,
19:01do you see any sort of consistency in his manner? Do you see that he's helping maybe,
19:07let's assume that Witkoff is trying to do everything right and trying to make some sort of move.
19:14But how about Donald Trump himself? Is he helping Witkoff?
19:17If that would be the main objective? We don't know. Well, I, I will have to, uh, go with Piscoff's,
19:24Mr. Piscoff's statement, which is, I think, absolutely correct when you say that every,
19:29most of what you read in media is garbage. You know, it's a don't go and don't believe that thing.
19:34Use only primary sources, but of course, primary sources do not leave us much, kind of, but we know
19:41Russian position. It's not changing. But Trump has already have been stated many times,
19:47he wants ceasefire. He doesn't want the peace. And that's the difference. He cannot put together
19:52this, no matter how he tries. Russia is a movable object. And Mr. Lavrov in Brazil,
19:58yesterday, the day before yesterday, he confirmed it. He reiterated all the same points which Russia was
20:05at since, uh, you know, 2021, essentially. So he gave the interview to all global, uh, newspaper,
20:13and so what, what do you expect? It's up to Trump how he adjusts his behavior, but, uh, considering
20:20the fact that he's a, well, we know this, he's a narcissist, self-obsessed guy. He believes himself
20:26to that he can do something grandiose, you know, in terms, well, and then suddenly he begins to face the
20:33reality. When Witkow, uh, comes to Moscow, uh, Putin and others, reiterate to him the same point,
20:40Witkow being a good guy, he gets these messages, gets him, though, though, for Trump, and explains to
20:48him the same thing. Uh, root causes. These, these are root causes. Then Lavrov comes out, and he repeats it.
20:54Then Medvedev comes out, and he repeats that, uh, the regime in Kyiv will be destroyed. So whatever you want.
21:01So, do Russians ready to, uh, talk to, um, uh, Kyiv? Oh, yes, they do. Formally they do, absolutely.
21:09But they know that Zelenskyy cannot do that. Because once he does that, he tries to, first he's
21:17illegitimate anyway. And, but again, Russians today stated, oh, no, we're not going to be signing any,
21:22anything with the United States. Uh, let Ukraine come to, uh, us, you know. So it's, uh, it's a game,
21:28and Trump is not in the same league of playing this game with Mr. Lavrov and Mr. Putin. No matter
21:35how he thinks that he's such a grandiose guy. And, and, of course, we know he got this nincompoop and
21:42more on basically Kellogg and all other type of their advisors, if you wish, who are absolutely
21:48incompetent and not qualified to advise him on anything serious relating to Russian-American
21:55relations, you know. So, and yeah, you look at this like, who knows? But, yes, if you listen to what we
22:03spoke to each other, both Garland on Monday and then yesterday with the, uh, Colonel Davis, uh, we're
22:10discussing this issue. For Trump, he doesn't have much time left. Doug McGregor already says that he,
22:18it's his war. But if he doesn't do it before May 9th, and after May 9th, it's his war. I'm sorry.
22:26No matter how he tries to pretend that he tries to resolve the conflict, uh, you know what? Even
22:32considering the fact that he has their interest groups, people who press him or influence him,
22:37but he put himself, uh, in, uh, in this position that, uh, he started to make those grandiose statements
22:43about that. Oh yeah, I can stop it in 24 hours. Now it's a hundred days. Now who knows what it is?
22:49But the point is, he could have stopped it immediately. He didn't. He didn't because he wanted
22:56the ceasefire. And he also, well, in terms of Europeans, we know who they are. So, and, uh,
23:06May 9th, let's wait and see what's gonna happen after May 9th.
23:10And, um, if he doesn't make any conclusions on his, and he is absolutely ambiguous in this respect,
23:16he sometimes has lucid thoughts. But most of the time, it's mostly, you know, hot air, basically.
23:25You've mentioned Peskov. He also mentioned that Kyiv doesn't have full control on its army.
23:31Yeah.
23:32This is important. This is a concern in terms of the security, in terms of any sort of ceasefire,
23:38whatever they have in their mind, a Ukrainian settlement. Who's, who's behind that part of
23:44army, which is not in control of Kyiv?
23:48Well, part of it are British. Some part, maybe less small of Americans, but mostly it's Nazis.
23:57It's a Western Ukraine Nazis, which are supported by the way, by London and by Germany and well,
24:03which surprise, surprise, you know, so, uh, yeah, that's who the control the army and, uh, the punitive
24:11organs, so to speak, and, uh, they're in full control. So, and Ziliensky, no matter what he does,
24:19trying to, let's say, surrender, if you wish. Uh, let's call it what it will be. Uh, he will be off immediately,
24:27either by British, the only good thing they are, the only thing they are good at, uh, you know,
24:33killing defenseless people, or by Nazis themselves, you know, so, and nothing he can do about it. I mean,
24:41those, uh, uh, territorial defense and also the very many, uh, you know, those, um, clusters,
24:48if you wish, of the Nazi units or formations, uh, are spread all over Ukraine. They still do not want
24:55to do their full mobilization of the Western Ukrainians. They would rather see those, uh,
25:00Eastern, uh, Ukrainians die, you know. So, it's, it is genocidal in many respects, and, uh, what can I say?
25:08That this is the house of horrors there, and it's a madhouse, and it has to be treated like that,
25:15and that is why Mr. Medvedev today says, yeah, we want to destroy the regime. After that, we'll see.
25:22It seems the, the, the reason that Russia has changed its policy that they're right now, as you've
25:28mentioned, they're, they're trying, they're, they're ready to talk with Zelensky and the
25:32administration in Ukraine, because Zelensky is so much influenced, Andre, by Europeans. Somehow,
25:39Donald Trump cannot manage that. I don't understand that, why Donald Trump is not able to do that.
25:44Well, that's why maybe Putin has decided to himself. No, no, no, it's, it's all statements. I mean,
25:50they're obviously going to state it, but Trump got humiliated all the time. I mean, he's getting
25:55humiliated left and right. He talks to Zelensky, he tells him all the time to go pound sand. Europeans
26:02tell him to go pound sand. Well, he, well, for all intended purposes, he screwed up in Canada,
26:08because obviously he scared the hell out of them. And guess what, Canadians again,
26:14you know what, elected those liberals, which will finish off the Canada as a normal state,
26:20not that it was normal nowadays, but still. So yeah, the guy obviously, he doesn't understand what he's
26:27dealing with. Again, his only good appointments have been Kash Patel and Tulsi Gabbard. The rest of
26:37it are either neocons or, you know, morons like Kellogg or, so he continues with his first term now.
26:44Grandiose statements. He does rally after the first hundred days. The economy is thanking,
26:50everybody laughs at his tariffs. You know, it's just like, dude, I mean, what the hell? Wake up.
26:58He will not be able to do, to do that. And that, you know what, this is not good for United States,
27:07to put it mildly, you know, let alone for his administration. So, but we'll see. He could have
27:13done it really fast. He didn't. The reports coming out today showed that how deeply the Trump
27:23administration 1.0 was involved and tried to not let Donald Trump meet with Vladimir Putin. I would
27:32argue if, why they don't meet and talk directly. What, what is the main reason for not doing that?
27:43And who, who's, when you look at this administration, do you think they're getting
27:49somehow, we are getting somehow the same sort of outcome from the administration as we got from the
27:55first Trump administration? Because the way he's managing the situation is not helping his policy.
28:01And he's not doing anything to change it. He's talking with Putin directly and meeting with him.
28:08Oh no, I mean, I'm, they did, did call some talks over the phone. Putin correctly states and all Russian
28:17top officials, they say correctly, what's the point of meeting in person when there's nothing to discuss.
28:23You're big time leaders. They meet in person only when it's already have been decided and things have
28:31been prepared. So they come in after the expert groups, you know, did everything and they sign or settle
28:39on whatever was decided already after the hard work by diplomats and militaries and intelligence services
28:46and things of this nature. So the only thing which he did so far good with Donald Trump is that,
28:52yeah, he opened the channels for communications with Russia. But it, it is important, make no
28:58mistake, it's a good thing he did. But, I mean, as Putin correctly states and many people say it,
29:05what's the point? To discuss what? We can discuss it over the phone. If you wish, give me a call. We'll talk.
29:12I will reiterate again the position. Apart from the fact that Larry Johnson compiled this wonderful,
29:18essentially, the, you know, the series of his articles and his blog that it's with the numbers.
29:25Trump was the guy who actually started to re-army Ukraine and prepare them for the conflict with
29:32Russia. It was his first administration. He was, he was primarily was doing Twitter thing, you know,
29:38obviously not running the country. So we'll see how it goes now. But so far it's difficult to even
29:47understand what he's trying to accomplish. So, but we'll see. Let's give him the benefit of a doubt
29:55for another week or so. And then we'll see where we go with it from there. So.
30:00Andrei, Ukrainians, do you think in the victory day in Russia, is there, do you see any sort of threat
30:10coming from Ukraine? There are some rumors that they want to attack? I don't know.
30:14There are rumors. Zinansky absolutely stated that. No, it's a real threat. It's absolutely a real threat.
30:22And especially after the, which is the stupidity of the many Russian legislators who started to
30:29import Ukrainians from the start of their, well, even starting from 2014, by the way,
30:37importing through this bunch of their, you know, sleeper cells, which continues, will continue with
30:43their terrorist activity. London would love to kill as many Russian civilians as possible.
30:50So, because they cannot kill properly military men, but they are good at, you know, like Croc City,
30:57you know, it's all, yeah, absolutely real threats. Terrorism and FSB, of course, and
31:06FSO, Federal Service of the Secret Service, essentially, Russian version, and they have
31:14their hands full, obviously. So, but yeah, there will be attempts, no doubt about it.
31:19Andrei, on the battlefield right now, it seems that Ukrainians want a 30-day ceasefire.
31:27Yeah, of course.
31:28Are they trying to just, do you have some sort of feeling that they want to provide weapons to Ukraine
31:38in these 30 days and that's why they're asking for this?
31:41They need to reorganize and resupply whatever is left on the, if you look at the map every day,
31:50just moving west, west, west, it's already in Kharkov Oblast, it's already on the right bank of
31:56the Dnieper. So, and yeah, those neocons, especially Kellogg and obviously this butcher,
32:03Sirsky and all, they are desperate, of course. So, no, Russians give them 72 hours for, especially
32:12for Russian reasons, not for, and if they will try to do something stupid, the response will be
32:20immediately very energetic, but things continue. No, they're not getting ceasefire.
32:25There are 30-day ceasefire. Well, it's all crap, you know, basically.
32:28You mentioned Sergei Lavrov, he talked with Global News here in Brazil and he just put out whatever
32:39is in the mind of Russians, what they want to get from a Ukrainian settlement. Do you think in that
32:47tone of Sergei Lavrov, is there anything for a permanent ceasefire, the way that Donald Trump wants?
32:55No, no, he already stated specifically about that, but they want 30, he said, we're ready to talk
33:04without preconditions, and here, I quote him, the demand of 30-day ceasefire is a precondition,
33:13so, no go, you know. So, listen, the Russians are extremely prudent, and in terms of this legal language,
33:23and so, believe me, and when you listen to this correctly, people like this, I have people who
33:32in my blog are panicking, oh my God, what he's talking about, the Russia surrenders,
33:36and guys, read a tense, read a tense, he's saying, especially against the background of the root causes,
33:44which are constantly repeated, and the root causes have been defined, and demilitarization,
33:51the notification continues, and Mr. Medvedev, who is, by the way, he is above even Lavrov,
33:58people forget that Mr. Medvedev is the second man in command in Russia, he's a deputy chair of the
34:07Security Council of Russia, he is the first deputy of Mr. Putin, and sometimes people do not understand
34:14what is going on, and I understand Mr. Medvedev is a bad cop, but the problem for them, they have to
34:22pray for Mr. Putin's health in the next term, because he is the reasonable one, Mr. Medvedev is a genuine
34:28article, it's not like he's doing this because he has to, it's what he thinks, I mean, and everybody knows how he thinks.
34:35And he called the new Chancellor of Germany a Nazi.
34:41Oh yeah, he is, I mean, scratch any German politician, you will get the Wehrmacht or Nazi officer, so.
34:48It seems that everything's getting worse in Germany, Andre.
34:51Oh yeah, yeah, it's gonna be really bad, and everybody saw now what happened to Spain and Portugal,
35:00and the only reason they cannot come up with the proper explanation, because everybody knows, they wanted their
35:07green energy, let them enjoy it now. And this is just the start, it will be much, much worse.
35:13This is how Europeans kill their own countries, and you know what, they voted for this, what can I say?
35:21Let them continue to enjoy it. Same as Canadians, listen, I understand that, how to say it,
35:29Trump was very anti-Canadian and anti-Tradu and all that, but these morons, pardon my French,
35:35they still go into, you know what, elected the same people who will make sure that Canadians will cease to
35:41exist as people. So what can I say? You know, you guys, you bear responsibility for that, you know?
35:48No matter what anybody says, nobody forces you, granted that a lot of the elections are rigged,
35:55but you still can go and make the proper choice, you know, but they don't, so it's like,
36:02are they brainwashed? Evidently, let them enjoy it, you know? What can I say?
36:08I don't know if you saw the interview of Sergey Lavrov with CBS, Andre?
36:17Oh yeah, I saw the parts, I mean, I cannot tolerate any bimbo like Brennan or whatever, you know,
36:24from some establishment, you know, Gibsonian outlet pretending that they understand something,
36:30they don't. Most of the people who work for the establishment media in the United States
36:35and in the West are morons, okay? Including the chief editor, someone. They know their playbook,
36:41how they have to, so it's not worth even paying attention because Lavrov was playing with her.
36:48I remember how Megyn Kelly once tried to show that he's smart in front of Vladimir Putin.
36:55She probably didn't even understand she was humiliated, okay? Because it was so in gentleman manner
37:02when he called her, ah, you're a specialist in the electronic warfare, and so it's, that's what it is.
37:08I mean, they're bimbos, okay? They have no integrity, they are just dressed up bimbos with degrees in
37:14journalism who know how to string several words, they have these instructions, and they pretend that
37:21they know people. I mean, it's, it's useless. Yeah, Lavrov was, he was looking at her like,
37:29at fleeting, okay? It's just who she is. And he was asked, she asked Lavrov about the Arctic,
37:38and do you know what's the problem in the Arctic that, and how Donald Trump or the United States
37:45wants Russia to help them in that region? Well, Russia doesn't want to help the United States.
37:52Russia may consider some of the energy project with the United States on the basis of joint venture,
38:00which, if Trump would have been smart, he would have been immediately grabbing onto it,
38:05and trying to return the American companies into Russia, which is, in many ways, it would have been
38:14extremely important for United States in terms of landing softly, not crashing with the
38:20host of economic problems the United States has now. But Russia's not going to help the United States,
38:28and the United States lost their Arctic race because the United States cannot build even single,
38:34simple, good icebreaker, let alone the fleet of the nuclear icebreakers, let alone what is coming
38:41with the leader class, which is going to be, it's already being built, which is a 70,000-ton monster,
38:49you know, so, so Russians are developing their Arctic route, and people will come into, they are coming
38:56already, and it's a short, reliable way, and for China it is also extremely important, because obviously,
39:03against the background of the clash, economic clash with the United States, and having its shipping lanes of
39:09communications exposed in the Indian Ocean, suddenly, China, well, they love this idea of the Arctic
39:18route, which is defended by the Russian Northern Fleet, and, you know, is getting better, and being,
39:25you know, properly prepared, and equipped, and all that, including the icebreaker fleet by Russia, so,
39:33that's all day alone, that's what it is. And an important, in my opinion, statement by Lavrov,
39:41and he, when he said, he talked with a Brazilian newspaper, said that Russia is willing to improve
39:49its relationship with the United States, but they're not going to do this at the expense of its existing partner.
40:00National interest, yeah. It's, it's all, listen, what we hear for the last 100 days, it's, these are reiterations
40:10of the same point, over and over, different words, difference, but it is all, and the phrase which
40:19is there constantly, root causes. Unless they are addressed, things continue as they continue now,
40:28and Russia can do it as long as it takes. And the decision for Donald Trump is to decide how,
40:36do they, do they want to cooperate with the other part of the world, or do they want to confront them?
40:44Well, the present state, or rather lack of mind in Washington, they still think that they are such a
40:53hugely, massive, powerful country, as they, no, they're not. The United States is still a superpower,
41:00but it's a declining superpower, and it is obviously lost standing on so many critical positions,
41:07and especially after being humiliated militarily in Ukraine. So, yeah, I mean, they think that they can,
41:16there's hoochies shown, they're not intimidated, and these are hoochies for crying out loud, okay?
41:21So, and now they saw what the real world looks like, you know, in Ukraine, and the United States
41:28doesn't have the stomach for that, you know? It never did, really. It's, the United States is
41:33extremely sensitive to its losses, so, and, you know, we saw their level of the operational planning,
41:40which is, pardon my French, is pathetic. I mean, it's just ridiculous. It's, you cannot take those
41:47people seriously, you know, professionally. Modi wanted to be in Moscow on the victory day. Right
41:54now, with the conflict between Pakistan and India, he has decided not to go. Of course. Andre,
42:02do you find what's going on in Pakistan? Is that related to BRICS? Is that related to
42:11the way that we had JD Vance, if you remember last week, he was talking about how they're going to be
42:16closer to India, they're going to make and, you know, form a new sort of military cooperation? How do you see
42:25the situation between India and Pakistan, and how is that related to the situation of BRICS?
42:33Ah, probably related, but I think it's, yeah, what happened, obviously it was Pakistani who did this
42:45atrocity, you know, who committed this atrocity, and it's difficult to say where it originates. Some
42:51people say it's London again, you know, so who knows? Is it related to BRICS? Anything,
42:57when it comes down to important BRICS members, and India is certainly a very important BRICS member,
43:03is BRICS related, you know, so, and especially when you look at that, we get success of the BRICS
43:09summit in Brazil, and those things happening with the US dollar, so who knows who initiated this thing?
43:17Pakistan, obviously, it's a nation in a horrendous state, economic and cultural and all other things,
43:26you know, so, and we know that this conflict is, you know, 80 years old essentially, so since British left,
43:34and so it probably will continue for observable future, I don't know what's going to happen,
43:39honestly, so, and it's understandable, understandable why Modi is not flying to Moscow.
43:45Yeah, and the Minister of Defense of Pakistan was asked on British media, and why are you supporting the
43:54terrorists? He said that we are doing, for decades, we are doing the daily work for the United States and
44:00the British government for the West. Yeah, I mean, it's, yeah. This is the Ministry of Defense,
44:06the Minister of Defense of Pakistan talking, he's not some ordinary guy on the street talking about.
44:12Yeah, it's, again, we have to understand, the Special Military Operations started there,
44:20well, actually, already in 2014, in Maidan in Ukraine. They started the processes,
44:27which those nincompoops from London and Washington had no reference point in dealing with. They don't
44:32understand scales. Obviously, they are not very good mathematically and engineering-wise, let alone
44:39militarily. They thought that, oh, yeah, it's going to be easy. There you go. So how's, how's that looks now?
44:47And they started the processes which are tectonic in their nature, and as a result, yeah, Europe is going
44:57down. Western civilization, as known, is going down. It's actually decrepit, basically put itself into
45:04the decrepit state completely on its own. But people do not understand the real history. They don't
45:11understand that. What we are observing now are the final salvos of the World War II. And because,
45:18essentially, what we see, the whole 20th century, Europe desperately tried to commit suicide.
45:24It committed suicide in World War II. The only saving grace for a while was that the United States,
45:32which was spared by war, which actually profited greatly, stepped into Europe, and not saved it for
45:43a while. But it already was getting rotten, you know, and going down the hill, starting from that point.
45:50And as a result, we see what we see today. Again, as I already stated, those blackouts are coming to
45:58Europe on a more frequent basis, believe me. Spain is done. I mean, they wanted this 60% of the solar.
46:05They got it, okay? And the very hot Spanish summer is coming. And let's see how they will be dealing
46:14with this. And people say, oh, you have a bout of Shad and Troi. No, I don't. But, I mean, I have Shad and
46:21Freud in regards to the political elites of the West. They are morons. They are critins. All those
46:28billionaires. All those businesses. And, you know, what, mosques and all that. They are actually,
46:35they live out, so to speak. And they consume the heritage which was created by the Western
46:42civilization. Some of which was absolutely magnificent. I'm a Western man. I'm a Western man by culture, by
46:48outlook on life in many respects. But combined West today is not Western. It's something else altogether.
46:56It's completely, you know. So, and you look at this is, yeah, that's what is coming. Germany,
47:02you're gonna be third world guys, you know. And same goes for the, especially the, you know, the south of
47:10Europe. And they don't have energy. They are being diluted demographically. And their man lost manhood.
47:19You know, their women are just, so yeah. I mean, there are some people of common sense, obviously,
47:25in Europe. But they are not the majority. And you cannot save it, you know.
47:33You mean the leadership?
47:34You know, I'm talking about the amount of population. Leadership is all together. It's
47:39good Lord. Look at Germany or France. A bunch of Christians, basically. So, you know. And let alone,
47:46you know, United Kingdom. You don't see any normal person there. Well, look at that, all kinds of
47:54psychological and psychiatric anomalies, you know. Be that Macron or Schultz or this Christian nurse who is
48:00coming in. And Medvedev calls, keep correctly, Nazi because he is. So, and yeah, you look at this,
48:06these are not normal people. But they now want to allegedly get rid of von der Leyen because she's toxic.
48:12Hello, you are all, you know, singing praises to her. It took only special military operation to start
48:20those motions and expose them. Well, that's the emperor's new clothes, if you wish. So, yeah.
48:30Thank you so much, Andrey, for being with us today. My pleasure. Great pleasure, as always.
48:35Take care, Andrey. Bye-bye. Bye-bye.
48:37Bye-bye.
