And welcome, folks, to Truth Vs. News, incorporated at Donald Braun, producer at JD.Consultants, at Live.com, and this is the Equinox.
Welcome to the first day of spring, when we spring into action here, and we have all kinds of fun and things are really happening, and hopefully everything is sort of equal here this time, and we have the best panel in the world here on Truth Vs. News, of course.
We have the most dangerous mind in America, Jim Fetcher, who's not dangerous at all.
It's a situation out here that's so dang dangerous right now.
He needs a guiding light to get us through it, into the truth, and he's amazing.
And Jim, and we have Scott Bennett, the most articulate military intelligence officer that has cut right through the truth here, and Holly Seeliger.
She's a great reporter and analyst, and has her own shows and things.
She's well worth listening to, so lead on here.
What's happening with this Russian stuff, Jim?
Good question, Don.
War in Ukraine, day 23.
Russian forces on track to achieve strategic goals.
Going forward, the joint forces of the Russian Federation have achieved tactical results in strategically important areas.
Fear Street fighting continues in Mariupol.
Clashes reach the Azovostol plant while Nationalist battalions establish significant fortifications.
The Russian Defense Ministry confirmed a lot of Ukrainian fighters are trying to leave the city disguised as civilians.
Those who remain in Mariupol are waiting for help from the Ukrainian troops deployed on the Donbass front lines.
In its return, the Russian military officials claimed the readiness to release nationalists from Mariupol to save the city and civilians.
According to Misinitserv, the Russian side received a refusal from Kiev officials.
Nationalist battalions are also a great threat for the current administration in Kiev.
The armed forces destroyed a parking lot with combat aircraft at the Lviv Aircraft Factory and Depot with high-precision weapons.
In the region of Mykolaiv, the Russians are aiming to cut off the northern road toward Nova Odessa, fighting reported north of the city.
Ukraine has launched a number of missiles.
They're claiming here on residential areas, that's Ukraine, launching a number of missiles on residential areas in the area of Mariupol, which is under the control of Russian forces.
This is Ukraine firing on civilian areas.
Yes.
Russian air defense intercepted almost all of the missiles.
Almost all.
Shortly after the shelling of civilians, Russian missiles destroyed military facilities in the UAF Ukrainian Air Force in the suburbs of Nikolaev and Donetsk.
Dozens of Of AFU servicemen were killed.
The threat of Russian assault in Odessa remains.
Therefore, the armed forces of Ukraine are forced to strengthen their grouping in the area of the city.
On March 18, the Russian defense minister warned another provocation being prepared by the Kiev regime.
They have mined a city hospital and plan to blow up the building during the flight of a Russian plane over the city so they can claim that the Russians took it out.
I mean, these people are scurrilous.
Scott, your thoughts?
Well, Ukrainians are different than most of the other people in Eastern Europe.
I've known many of them.
They're a little bit crazy.
They're a little bit hillbilly-ish from the scene in, what was that classic movie with Burt Reynolds?
Deliverance!
That's right.
Well, the Ukrainians in some regards remind me of the population of Deliverance.
Missing teeth and playing a banjo and eating pigs without cooking them.
There's a strange quality to them and this is coming out now.
This is why you see this remarkable right-wing Nazi hostility with guys tattooing Nazi signs on their neck and skinheads and all of that and of course They're conducting themselves like mongoloid troglodytes.
There's a very palpable and observable mental decline in the Ukrainian population.
Not all of them, of course, but what is behind the military, the street, and the political wings of the far-right sector, the Azov battalions, and all these others, is a very troglodytic and uh muscle-headed uh entity and uh This is what the U.S.
has been backing for seven, eight years.
This is what Europe and the United Kingdom has been pushing, not because they like these people, but because they see them as an instrument and a weapon system against Russia.
And we won't belabor into the entire historicity of the Ukrainian conflict, but suffice it to say, Russia had endured eight years of genocidal attacks upon the people of Donetsk, Crimea, and Lugansk.
They had argued ad nauseum And pleaded with Europe and pleaded with the populations of Europe and the United States and the politicians who are supposed to be the vanguards of human rights and democracy and freedom and tolerance and everything that was allegedly established after World War II.
The Western powers were supposed to be the defenders of.
That's the entire reason for NATO's existence.
But yet we conveniently buried that and avoided any talk of that, and in fact went the opposite direction by setting up weapons systems that would be deployed into Ukraine to be used against Russia, setting up bioweapons and chemical labs, and setting up a climate That was triggered, of course, with the coup d'etat that the U.S.
instigated against Yanukovych.
All of this has created a basket case of a country and in a basket case, mentally schizophrenic nation that thinks they're going to be made members of NATO and be given money from the European Union.
It's no wonder that they engage in civilian atrocities.
It's no wonder that the Ukrainian Asimov battalions have attacked Chernobyl and they've attacked Civilian buildings and they've killed people.
They're desperate to try and blame this all on the Russians.
They're trying to blame something and make the Russians look like they are Mongol hordes, you know, raping and pillaging and burning.
But that is not part of the Russian playbook.
The Russians are trying to, when hearts and minds exercise soft power with minimal hard power, minimal kinetic power, So that the majority of the Ukrainian civilians will inevitably find a greater degree of attractiveness, political membership with the Russian country and the Russian pro-Russian entities that will be taking over the Ukrainian military and the Ukrainian Political circle.
So Russia is not trying to burn down Ukraine, it's just trying to burn out the cancer that has riddled the body of Ukraine.
And I think they're doing a very effective job.
And the Ukrainian Asimov battalion and these right-wing puppets and the schizophrenics like Zelensky and his homosexual tirades and his black leather-clad dances, all of that is going to come to a very quick smoldering end.
Jim?
I think you're absolutely right that the not suffocation of Ukraine has been extensive and enduring, and I like your point using Ukraine to provoke the bear.
Holly, your thoughts?
Well, I think a lot of this, as Scott said, is a response to 30 years of NATO expansion and really poking Russia, as he said, and it was supposed to dissolve with the fall of the USSR, and it has only expanded And continue to expand into areas which are right on the Russian border.
Supposedly, Zelensky said he either wanted Ukraine to be part of NATO or they wanted themselves to get nuclear weapons, which would be a threat to Russia to have nuclear weapons right on their border as well.
And Russia, you said, came out Today said that it fired hypersonic missiles in Ukraine.
They said that they targeted a fuel storage site.
And they also targeted a trading facility where they said it was filled with foreign mercenaries.
So, Zelensky is going out there telling all these individuals and mercenaries from all over the world, come to Ukraine, we'll give you weapons, we'll hook you up.
Supposedly, they're using something called WhatsApp, too, which is a platform to recruit people to come into Ukraine.
And they're getting hit with hypersonic missiles.
So hopefully that's a heads up to people who think that they want to go and LARP in Ukraine and think that there aren't going to be any sort of consequences going out there.
We'll just add their bodies to the funeral pyre.
Putin is not messing around.
We have a lot more going on here.
Poland, because of the Russian success, is going to formally propose sending NATO troops to Ukraine at a summit.
Will this lead to a division of Ukraine?
Frankly, it's insane.
Poland called for a NATO peace mission protected by armed forces to help Ukraine.
This cannot be an unarmed mission, said the Vice Premier.
We must seek to provide humanitarian and peaceful aid to Ukraine.
I think we need a peacekeeping mission from NATO, or even possibly a larger international structure, clearly alluding to the United Nations.
But a mission that will be able to defend itself and operate on Ukrainian territory.
It will strive for peace, to provide humanitarian aid, but at the same time be protected by appropriate forces, armed forces.
One of Poland's top conservative leaders called for NATO to enter, but was rejected by NATO allies such as Germany and the U.S.
Poland's Prime Minister, however, has added his voice in defense of the proposal.
Despite warnings NATO and Ukraine would spark a conflict with Russia and potentially even lead to World War III, the Polish Prime Minister Asserted there's still ample reason to support such a move, even if it were to be suicidal in effect.
Ukraine has a right to invite NATO and other allied troops.
Such a peace mission would make it so there would be peace in some parts of the country.
He added the idea will be presented at the upcoming NATO Senate.
Meanwhile, scum and traitors.
Vladimir Putin threatens anti-war Russians.
How much of this is accurate is a good question.
Russian President Putin has called for self-purification to read his country of those who question the invasion of Ukraine.
He went on television Wednesday to excoriate Russians who do not back him, blaming NATO for using instigators to stir up opposition to the war.
Russia will always be able to distinguish true patriots from scum and traitors and will simply spit them out like a gnat that accidentally flew into their mouths.
I'm convinced such a natural and necessary self-purification of society will only strengthen our country.
And I said there's only one goal—I've spoken about it—the destruction of Russia.
The speech appeared to be a warning that his authoritarian rule, according to this source, which has already grown tighter since the special military operation began, could grow even more repressive.
Russian law enforcement announced the first known criminal case under a new law which permits 15-year prison terms for posting what's deemed to be false information.
Among those charged was Veronika Beltyshevskaya, a Russian-language cookbook author and blogger living abroad.
Russia has demanded NATO pledges to never admit Ukraine to the alliance or station forces there.
But Ukrainian President Zelensky has planned for just the opposite.
We need you right now.
Zelensky added, Russia has turned the Ukrainian sky into a source of death.
Since Putin ordered a land, air and sea invasion, independent monitoring group has reported more than 14,000 arrests in connection with anti-war actions.
Of these, more than 170 have been remanded to custody.
While Moscow's ground forces advance on the Ukrainian capital, Putin said the operation was unfolding successfully in strict accordance with pre-approved plans.
He also decried Western sanctions against Moscow, accusing the West of seeking to squeeze us, to put pressure on us, to turn us into a weak, dependent country.
Meanwhile, Speaking of foreign legionnaires joining Ukraine only to meet their death, according to Ukraine's government, 20,000 foreign volunteers, called them adventurers from 52 countries, have joined Ukraine, where 31% are from the US, 18% from where 31% are from the US, 18% from the UK, 6.9% from Germany, 4.7% from Canada, 2.8%.
Well, I think it's all part of an information war.
I don't think the United States of the West is sending in the battalions of half-wit retards that they claim to be sending in.
I think this is all part of a massive information war that they're trying to mentally, psychologically exhaust Putin and confuse and You know, the West is deceived into their own lies.
That's the most amazing thing to me, is that the West is incapable of understanding that their lies bounce off Putin and Lavrov and the Russians and Zarikova, bounce off like a ball hitting a cement wall.
The Russians have been dealing with information warfare and economic warfare and political warfare and kinetic warfare for the past 40, 50, 60 years, but specifically since the fall of the Soviet Union, they have been attacked, dismembered, cannibalized, threatened, their population reduced in number.
Russia was teetering on the verge of a second or third world nation before Yeltsin finally was removed into his dementia oblivion.
And Putin came in.
Putin, who is one of the most remarkably astute and experienced political and intelligence officers in the history of civilization.
I think Putin is more well trained than anyone else in the political landscape.
So he's come in at a time And he's also watched for the last 30 years all of these shenanigans from George Bush Sr.
to Bill Clinton to George Bush and Dick Cheney and then Obama and then Trump and now the walking zombie Biden.
So Putin has measured, and his speeches are all descriptive of this, as is Lavrov's.
They have, essentially, they've come to Francis Fukuyama's end of history, and they have said, we are at the end of history, we have given the West a sufficient time to acclimate and develop and move into the next century, and they're refusing to do so.
They are refusing to give up the ghosts of communism and the Soviet Union They are obsessed with continuously trying to brand us as the Soviet Union.
They are stunted or retarded or mentally deranged, so we are cutting them off.
And, you know, I've said they should do this for decades, and now they're finally doing it.
They're saying we're completely cutting off the West, and it's because their patience has finally run out.
All of these Ukrainians trying to leave the country, you know, are Nazis fleeing Germany.
All of these people that are allegedly being brought into the country, they're twigs that'll be thrown on a fire, if at all.
But I honestly think all of Europe is going to collapse over this, because they do not have the grit, the strength, the mental strength, the spiritual strength, the spiritual cohesion, the tribalism that Russia has, because they've endured these traumas.
This is like the pilgrims of Becoming more solid in their Mayflower fortress when they're attacked by all these Indian tribes.
That's what Russia has been.
It's been attacked by all these Indian tribes and finally they're saying, okay, we're going to stand and fight against this and we're going to do it.
We're going to create our own economic systems, our own political systems, our own financial systems, our own markets for selling the fuel and resources we have.
And we're going to divorce ourselves entirely of everything from the West.
So when we witness all of these silly little countries in Europe, you know, saying, we'll support, we'll send troops.
We'll send people like Latvia and Lithuania and all the rest of these.
It's all because they want to maintain the bribe that the West and the CIA and the Democrats and these Rhino Republicans have been trying to do.
Russia is cracking down on these dissidents because they know these people may be agents of a foreign power.
Maybe agents of Soros and all these other groups, the NGOs, which overthrew Ukraine in the first place.
So Russia is not playing around.
They are in full war mode, which means they're doing the same thing that the United States did in 1941 or whatever, when the Japanese were thrown in internment camps.
That philosophy back in 1941 that the West happily ran to and would do again is what Russia is doing right now, because they are not going to risk an infection developing in their own political landscape and repeat what happened in Ukraine during the Maidan overthrow in 2014.
Russia recognizes All of these gates need to be sealed, and all of these people have two choices.
You either stand with Russia, stand with the preservation of their people and their country and their culture, or you stand against Russia.
And that's a hard choice to make, and it's hard for us to digest because we're always open for political opinions.
But this isn't a difference of political opinion, Jen.
These are people, many of whom, some are okay, some are decent, they just disagree.
But there are some that are acting on the orders and at the behest of the CIA and the MI6, and that is who Russia is trying to stop, so they don't have a repeat of 2014.
Jim?
I like the walking zombie Biden, Scott.
Ollie, your thoughts?
Well, I think we're seeing right now with Russia and the mainstream news here in the United States, they've been saying for weeks now, oh, Russia is stalling because they've run out of troops or they've run out of oil or their tanks are breaking down.
And that's why, you know, this has been going on so, so long.
But if you look at actual warfare, what is going on here is that they're being precise And they're targeting specific areas like they did with their hypersonic missile targeting a particular barracks where mercenaries were being housed.
So the fact is, is that they're going after specific targets.
They're not just going and blowing up electricity or power plants or water treatment facilities or something like that.
People to this day, as far as I know, as far as the mainstream media here in the U.S., they would love to jump on any sort of news that Ukrainians don't have Internet or don't have electricity or water or anything like that.
But it sounds like they do.
It sounds like this is very targeted.
So the fact that Russia is using hypersonic missiles is a pretty clear indication that they have not run out of supplies or they're not losing the war in Russia.
And I think it's dangerous that Zelensky is still calling out for people to come join the fight and everyone needs to take up arms.
And he's putting his own people in danger, especially letting foreign mercenaries into your own country.
If you actually cared about your own people and about Ukrainians, you're not going to just open the floodgates to foreign mercenaries.
It's like the last thing that you want to do.
People have learned that the hard way in many nations.
So the fact is, as well, that the mainstream media is demonizing other countries, Eastern European countries, which have been pushing against globalism, such as Hungary, Poland, Belarus, countries that have been trying to fight the globalist agenda in the EU agenda countries that have been trying to fight the globalist agenda in the EU agenda and the NATO agenda, which is all the same, which is basically the central banker agenda, which the
Fighting for right now for for some reason, probably because we are absolutely captive to this agenda and we're going to go down on the ship with the Central Bank.
Apparently this is the side that we've chosen with sanctions and cutting Russia off of Swift.
We're shooting ourselves in the foot, isolating ourselves when we don't have anything to fall back on.
We don't have manufacturing here.
We've we've hollowed out ourselves from the inside.
Through programs like NAFTA and everything after after the fall of the USSR, Russia went through a hard time, and they've had to rebuild and they actually have rebuilt the United States, we've let ourselves slowly collapse.
We're seeing Russia leading the way and even countries in South America are starting to take sides.
So we've talked about this about like bricks before.
Apparently, Brazil and Argentina, the two leaders decided to meet with Putin instead of meeting with the IMF recently.
And the United States and the Biden administration is upset about that.
They think that Brazil should be taking the side of the United States, where it appears as though they are either staying neutral, they said they're formally going to stay neutral, but they're also meeting with Putin right now.
So Europe needs to drop from the EU and drop from NATO, and that would better them, that would better Germany.
They've lost their Nord Stream 1 and 2 at this point, so they're going to suffer like the United States if we let this continue.
Jim, can I say one thing?
Sure.
Holly laid out many brilliant points as always, but what's remarkable is that we do not have a single leader in the American Congress that is standing up and articulating this as she is doing.
Not even Tulsi Gabbard!
Not Rand Paul.
No one is standing up with the clarity and the simplicity that Holly's just laid out of just how suicidal this is going to be against our people and our culture and our government and our country.
And the delusion of what is infecting the consciousness of this country is remarkable.
And I'll say this, When you look at a row of dominoes, for example, and you hit one, you can tell, you can predict, you can forecast, you can go and look how the pattern is going to evolve, and know at this turn, at this point in the future, this domino is going to hit this other domino, and it's going to set in motion all these consequences.
We are witnessing a falling of the dominoes, and as we predict, I say this, as these dominoes continue to fall, here's what's going to happen.
The United States is going to completely fall apart.
It's going to lose all of its international moral credibility.
It has nothing on its side except domination, bullying, war from 30 years, the destruction of Libya, destruction of Syria, destruction of Iraq, destruction of Afghanistan, destruction of Grozny, destruction of now Ukraine,
All of this is going to mature and rise in the minds of other countries, and they're going to divorce America, as we've said before, like the drunken fool at the party.
Everyone's going to push America out of their house and kind of ignore them entirely.
This is going to be the end of the United States as a politically significant superpower, And that's also a danger because you may witness the West triggering a false flag nuclear attack in our own country to try and create a war to escape the scrutiny and the conclusion that America has completely sunk into the sea like Atlantis.
Jim?
I think you got it right, Scott.
I think you got it right.
Meanwhile, Russia debuts a new hypersonic missile in a strike on a Ukrainian munitions depot.
The war might be about to take a dark turn as Russian forces deploy the use of hypersonic missiles.
It marks the first time they have been deployed in combat.
The Kinzhal hypersonic missiles were used by Russian forces to destroy an underground ammunition storage facility The Daily Star reported information remains scant, but Russia has long boasted about its hypersonic weapon arsenal, missiles that can evade traditional anti-missile defense systems.
They include the 3M22 Zircon, a low-flying rocket able to speed past early detection technology.
It and other similar weapons have a range of around a thousand kilometers.
Here's a report about it.
It begins in California with a little girl raised by two moms.
- - It begins in California, with a little girl raised by two moms.
You're meeting with an army recruiter?
I found it.
A way to prove my inner strength.
It's all over for you, pooty-poot.
You don't understand, you racist Hitler, that the success to today's military is wokeness.
You need to add some of the secret sauce.
What makes our military so strong?
Is the inclusivity and diversity and you ain't got none of that your racist Hitler booting outs all over for you.
The woke military is undefeatable.
No power could stand the unmitigated force of a woke military.
Really?
Because this just happened over here.
This just happened.
Take a look at this.
This is ASB Military News.
These dudes are not allowed anywhere because they're giving out accurate information, and you're only allowed to be on the big tech platforms if you're telling everybody, no, the fucking Russians are stupid, and they're out of fuel, and they're out of water, and they're out of weapons.
They don't even know what the fuck they're at.
Again, they ain't got any wokeness in them.
They suck.
They're losing.
They're totally losing to everybody.
Don't mind the Kiev puppet going around begging everybody for more weapons, drones, and all that.
Don't worry about that.
They're totally winning.
What about this?
$400 million worth of Western-supplied weaponry destroyed in a single Russian strike on the military base near Lvov.
Radio-intercepted comms suggest that 267 foreign mercenaries have been killed in the strike.
50-year-old Peter from Austria, who fought alongside the "International Legion of Ukraine" full of Reddit tards, said that 800 to 1,000 foreign mercenaries were present during the strike, and around 400 of them have been evacuated to Poland, many of whom have suffered severe burns, torn limbs from the caliber many of whom have suffered severe burns, torn limbs from the There's a high number of missing individuals still under the rubble, which includes a high number of Americans, Poles, Romanians, former NATO officers, or also amongst the dead.
Holy shit, are you telling me that all of the rainbow flags, all of the Black Lives Matter flags, all of the George Kirby murals that you painted around this, uh, this embankment over here to protect all of you, none of that stopped a hypersonic fucking missile?
I'm fucking confused, that's weird!
That's right.
It's weird how the Russians are totally losing.
They don't have any fuel.
They don't have any food.
They don't have any logistics.
They don't have any tactics.
I don't know what the fuck they're doing.
But they seem to have a lot of cruise missiles.
And now they've now applied hypersonic missiles to this game.
They're blowing shit up.
This is where all of our money is going, by the way.
This base is right on the other side of Poland.
And so we take all of this money and equipment that NATO... 400 plus million dollars worth of... We're about to spend 15 billion.
Don't get me wrong, 14 billion of that will be stolen by these criminals before it even gets there, I'm sure, more than that.
And then they drop it off right on the other side of the border of Poland into Ukraine, and then the Russians go, nah, fuck that, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
Gone, gone, all gone.
And the Ukrainians, they take all these dumb assholes who get all of their military information from CNN and Reddit, and they take you dumb fuckers and they put you all around it 'cause they know the Russians are gonna hit it.
They know the Russians are gonna blow it up.
And they're hoping that they go, "Oh my God, the fucking race of Russians just blew up." All of the stunning and brave Americans and Poles and Brits and Romanians.
Looks like you guys have to fight them now.
No.
No, no, no, no, no.
You guys are being used.
Your side... These mercenaries are now admitting that they're being used as cannon fodder.
And they're trying to get information out, but they're being banned on all these platforms.
Because, again, we're in an information war in Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube.
They decide what's misinformation.
It takes two years to figure out for normies that, no, no, we're right on this channel.
We're totally right on this channel.
You're being used, you idiots.
400 million dollars worth of equipment, all these dudes just bloated the fuck up.
I mean, look at the situation in Ukraine.
They're importing dumb assholes from Reddit to come do their fighting for them.
And then they get blowed up.
And now they've got to rush them to the Polish border again.
You're importing people who you're turning into refugees three minutes later.
We've got enough refugees in this area.
We've got enough people trying to flee this.
Now you idiots are importing people to come make this even worse?
You're inflaming this entire situation.
Fascinating report.
Meanwhile, Putin speaks with Erdogan once a meeting with Zelensky.
He called his Turkish counterpart Recep Erdogan on Thursday, using the conversation to lay out Moscow's demands and conditions for peace.
BBC World Affairs editor subsequently spoke with Erdogan's top advisor, who'd been part of a small group listening in on the phone call.
Putin basically broke down into two categories, the first appearing simple, at least on the face, for Ukraine to meet.
They included acceptance by Ukraine that it ought to remain a neutral entity and not apply for NATO membership.
That seems particularly uncomplicated.
Ukraine must go through a disarmament process so as not to pose a threat to Russia.
There must be protection for the Russian language in Ukraine and There must be denazification.
The last comes with some complications, noting that Zelensky, himself Jewish with kin, who purportedly died in the Holocaust, has taken offense to any suggestion his nation has Nazi inclinations.
But Turkish officials nonetheless see this as a relatively simple matter to sort out, perhaps by having Ukraine issue a blanket statement deploring and discouraging neo-Nazism.
The second category demands, however, Putin said it was likely he'd have to talk face-to-face with Zelensky, which Zelensky has indicated he's willing to do.
But if getting them to the table seems workable, the issues would be more complex.
While less specific regarding these tougher demands, they involve the status at Dunbass, where factions have already broken away and sought alignment with Moscow.
Moreover, Crimea's status is also on the table.
That suggests they'd be debating the challenging situation of Moscow demand that Ukraine cede some territory in its eastern reaches.
He also suggests Zelensky would need to accept that Crimea, annexed by Russia in 2014 amid much controversy, belongs to Russia without question.
A BBC report said the demands did not seem as harsh as some had feared, nor worth all the violence and bloodshed taking place.
On the flip side, they're bound to fill your cranes with anxiety.
Improperly executed, they could open the door to another invasion.
Meanwhile, talking with the BBC, Erwin's advisor also addressed reporting Putin is ill or mentally unbalanced, saying he detected nothing to support those claims.
Mr. Putin had apparently been clear and concise in everything he said.
No room for doubt there.
Scott, your thoughts?
Well, I think Zelensky is very quickly going to be removed.
I think the only, if I was advising the Russians, I'd say the best thing to do is remove Zelensky entirely, bribe him to get out of the country or just take him out and replace it with a military general so you have a military command authority similar to General Douglas MacArthur running Japan.
So they overthrew the Japanese emperor and the Japanese government after World War II and established MacArthur As the commander-in-chief of the country to get the country back on its feet.
The same thing needs to happen in Ukraine.
Get a, not a Russian general perhaps, but perhaps a group of Ukrainian and Russian generals so there's a sense of mutual collaboration.
And replace, you know, the political rule of Ukraine with a military rule for six months to a year to get the trains back on time, the electricity, the food, welcome the people back.
Life is normal.
Life is natural.
And then you have a decent chance of achieving these objectives.
But it will never happen with Zelensky.
And it will never happen with any of these right-wing politicians, and I wouldn't trust anyone else who is in the political order of Ukraine, because they're all vetted by the CIA and the United Kingdom.
No one exists in the Ukrainian government in any way, shape, or form that isn't there by allowance of the CIA.
So, essentially, the entire government of Ukraine needs to be completely purged and new political leadership is installed.
I think any of these claims too that the Russian military is inadequate, it's falling apart, is absolute propaganda and lies.
The military of Russia has always been very austere, very enduring, very capable of lasting a decade of straight war without having to be replaced.
The They make their armaments extraordinarily durable.
Not the aluminum and the fancy lights and the multiple, you know, electronic systems of the U.S.
woke military, but the Russian military has always been made of, I mean, solid steel and diesel, and they don't mince around.
They don't play around.
That's why the, you know, the Dragunov is the best sniper rifle ever.
There's nothing that compares.
And it applies to every other armament that Russia makes.
So I think you're going to see Russia militarily dominate Ukraine, very quickly win it in a soft war, and you're going to see these woke battalions that the other commentator mentioned, you know, essentially disappear.
I think in some sense, They need to take advantage of these sort of propagandistic opportunities and say, you know, the gay rainbow flag battalion from the United States in San Francisco is positioning itself in north of Kiev.
Anyone who wants to join it, come over there.
And you very quickly could exterminate a lot of the cancers of human society by bringing them to one big trap.
Jim?
Holly, your thoughts?
Well, if that report is true about Putin's demands, I think it's pretty reasonable.
People have been talking about for several years now, especially going back to the 2013-2014 coup in Ukraine, that there has been an ethnic targeting of Russians and Russian-speaking people.
In the eastern part of Ukraine, which people have been speaking Russian there for centuries, and reportedly hundreds of thousands of people have been murdered or attacked or in fear for their lives by these Western-backed Azov battalion Nazis.
And they've been propped up in Ukraine for many years now, since 2013.
That it's been a common fact that they've been going after Russians over there.
So I think it's perfectly reasonable that that these Western influence and denazification of Ukraine occurs.
And yeah, strangely enough, the people, you know, president of Ukraine and others seem to be in denial about what has been common knowledge, even here in the United States, where we have like a complete blanket of Fake news here.
Information has leaked out over the past few years about the Azov Battalion.
They've even come into the United States.
They've done training here.
A lot of them are, you know, they go back and forth between the United States.
They've been at events.
They were at the Charlottesville event.
There's an article of several Azov Battalion leaders who were at Parkland, not Parkland, sorry, Charlottesville.
For some reason leading these right wing is what they were calling them protests and then they end up over there in the Ukraine doing similar things terrorizing people.
So I think it's perfectly reasonable that Zelensky should agree to at least remove Western terrorists from his own country.
Oh, I think you're absolutely right, Holly.
Meanwhile, resurfaced video shows Biden confessing he proposed bombing of Belgrade in NATO OP in Yugoslavia.
In other words, while he's labeled Vladimir Putin a war criminal over Russia's operation to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine, he himself was a war criminal in relation to Belgrade.
A video's resurfaced where then-Senator Biden, speaking at a Foreign Affairs Committee meeting in 1998, suggested bombing the peaceful city of Belgrade and sending American pilots to destroy all the bridges on the Danube in 1999.
The head of Roskomos, Dmitry Rogzin, reposted the footage on his social media account, reminding the current U.S.
president of the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, estimated to have killed around 2,500 people, including 89 children.
Can Biden be reminded who the war criminal is?
On the edge of his grave, this bloody old man must remember his atrocities, the thousands of civilians he killed.
The Russian space chief's statement called POTUS moved to label Putin a war criminal.
The Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman, Maria Zakharov, also reminded the meeting, and the video took place just a year before the bombing.
Biden says he was the one who suggested bombing the Yugoslav capital.
I repeat once again, he talks about this even before the actual bombing, explaining if Belgrade had been bombed, as he advised them, 200,000 would not have died in Bosnia.
And all this is being said by a representative of a state that has neither common borders nor a common history with Yugoslavia.
Yugoslavia posed no direct or indirect threat to the United States or its citizens.
Russia's operation to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine, however, is in response to ramped-up deadly offensive attacks by the Kiev regime on the predominantly Russian-speaking people of Donbass and is, of course, on the border with Russia.
It came after Moscow officially recognized the two breakaways that Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republic established in the spring of 2014 In response to the Western-backed coup in Kiev, which Victoria Nuland orchestrated with $5 billion in taxpayer money.
Responding to official requests for military assistance from the DPR and LPR, the Russian government has repeatedly stated the goal of the current operation is to neutralize Ukraine's military capacity while not harming the civilian population.
The U.S.
and a slew of NATO allies have vociferously condemned Russia's ongoing operation as an invasion, despite their own body-track record.
They have waged U.S.
and Washington and its allies numerous military ops unilaterally without authority from the United Nations, ranging from U.S.-led wars to proxy aggression, the bombing of Yugoslavia, a glaring example.
In 1999, NATO waded into the armed confrontation between Albanian separatists from the Kosovo Liberation Army and the Serbian army that erupted in 1992, launching a military op against the then-Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
Biden, a Democrat senator from Delaware at the time, was among the first to call for the so-called lift and strike policy of ditching the U.N.-imposed arms embargo in place since 1991 and supporting Bosnian Muslim with NATO airstrikes.
The op, which witnessed use of military force by NATO without the approval of the U.N.
Security Council and therefore in violation of international law and the U.N.
Charter, Ended up killing scores of civilians, wreaking havoc on the country's infrastructure, numerous bridges, industrial facilities, and public buildings were blown up, along with actual military targets.
And by the way, that's another violation of international law.
Serbian authorities say about 2,500 children were killed, 89 children, 12,500 injured.
The Serbian president said the use of depleted uranium weapons has caused a dramatic surge in cancer patients in the country.
This is pretty devastating.
By the way, get this as to how the war is being reported by the mainstream media and how a reporter actually there in the scene contradicts the widely reported views.
OK, apparently she's not quite ready yet.
Let's keep it going.
I'm ready.
Can you hear me?
Oh, there you are.
We got her.
Well, it's so great.
We didn't see you pop up right away.
Laura, great to have you this morning.
I wanted to start with this breaking news overnight that it appears.
And there you are.
You popped up for us.
It's so great to see you.
The Daily Mail has a very interesting story that's saying that Vladimir Putin essentially may be running out of bullets, that he might have a week and a half, two weeks max, he's losing warplanes, tanks, all the rest of it.
He obviously went into this thinking he was going to bulldoze his way through Ukraine.
He's obviously caused a lot of destruction, don't want to minimize the fact there's over two million refugees, but this has not gone as well as Vladimir Putin expected.
I don't buy it for a second Ed, I'll be honest with you.
I really think that there's so much misinformation.
We've never really seen anything like it.
I mean, I've been covering wars now for 35 years and I have never seen people with their nails done in the Ukrainian flag, right?
I mean, we're being corralled into this box where we either have to hate Vladimir Putin and believe everything evil that's said about him and love Ukraine and there's no in between.
And that reminds me a lot of you're either, you know, a white supremacist or you go with the Democrat narrative on everything under the sun.
So Vladimir Putin knew exactly what he was doing when he went into Ukraine.
The Russian military isn't perfect.
They, for example, I've spoken to multiple defense specialists and intelligence specialists from Defense Intelligence Agency who've studied the Russian military for years.
They do have a difficulty mounting complex air operations because they do very little training hours in comparison to, for example, the United States air assets, right?
Our fighter jet pilots.
But Russia is not struggling.
What Russia has done from the very beginning has been very strategic.
They didn't go straight to Kiev.
They went to all those bioweapons laboratories that are scattered all over the country.
Some of them they built, so they know where they are.
They've known where they are since the Soviet Union, because under the Defense Threat Reduction Program, we went in after the fall of the Soviet Union and supposedly turned those facilities from bioweapons labs into public health labs.
Although, you know, these days it's hard to believe anything that our leaders tell us because they've lied about COVID.
They lied about Russia collusion.
They lied about the Ukraine impeachment trial.
And there's so much more going on in Ukraine that nobody is talking about.
You see such dishonesty when it comes to the history of Ukraine.
You see dishonesty when it comes to the Azov Battalion, which is funded by the U.S.
and NATO.
I mean, you can find pictures of them online, holding up the NATO flag and the swastika at the same time.
Their own emblem contains the Black Sun of the Occult, which was a Nazi SS emblem.
And it also contains the sideways, you know, lightning insignia of the SS.
I mean, this is on throughout the Ukrainian military.
You can see that Black Sun of the Occult on their body armor, even on the female soldiers who are paraded in front of the world as being, you know, such an example of Ukraine's independence and spirit and nobility.
Even they are wearing the Black Sun of the Occult.
And, you know, we want the White House wants you to believe, well, this doesn't matter.
It's just a small number of troops.
It's not true.
The Azov Battalion has been murdering its way through Eastern Ukraine.
Yeah.
We don't want to admit this.
This was why Crimea voted for independence.
This is why Crimea wanted to be with Russia.
Because we in the media, in the Western media and in the West, won't acknowledge the reality of what's gone on.
Western Ukraine backed the Nazis.
It was a headquarters for the Nazi SS.
The CIA under Alan Dulles actually gave immunity from prosecution To the Nazis of Ukraine from the Nuremberg Trials.
So there's a long history of the United States and our intelligence agencies funding and arming Nazis in Ukraine.
These are not like neo-Nazi groups that sprung up.
These are the actual Nazis from the Second World War who, if you go back to the Nuremberg Trials, said that they were planning for a thousand-year rife.
And so you have to really wonder as you look at this, when you know that the CIA sponsored the color revolution in Ukraine in 2013 and 14, that they selected Ukraine's leaders, go to the go to Victoria Nuland's leaked phone conversation, where she and the US ambassador are deciding who can lead Ukraine.
I mean, there's as much interference here as you could possibly imagine.
Before he even gets to Hunter Biden, Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry and Mitt Romney and all of their children who are employed, who are millions from Ukrainian National Police.
You are pointing, pardon me, to a real credibility crisis for our leaders.
I'm going to let Karen Turk jump in.
I wanted to bring up the fact that President Zelensky is Jewish, and I don't know exactly how this factors in, but there's some very interesting points in what you're saying, and looking at this, you know, you can think it's political theatrics, you, you know, made a very good point at the beginning that you think that Putin is in control, and I actually want to place something that Jen Psaki said, because it seems that the White House is actually echoing that sentiment.
Watch this.
Well, the endgame is really a question for President Putin.
We have completely crushed his economy.
We have provided military assistance, humanitarian assistance to the Ukrainians, enabling them to fight back for far longer than the Russian leadership anticipated.
And again, he has to determine what the path forward looks like for him.
Thanks, everyone.
He's determining what this looks like, and I think that's a lot of what you said, Laura.
I'd love to get your thoughts on that, what you just watched.
What troubles me about the moment that we're in is that we have such a selective and a narrow reading of history.
You know, President Zelensky may be Jewish, but he's not the only one in this who suffered during the Second World War, whose ancestors suffered, right?
I mean, look at Putin.
How many relatives did he lose in the siege of St.
Petersburg?
People don't know their history.
They don't know what made Vladimir Putin.
And I'm not defending him.
I don't need to defend Vladimir Putin.
My job as a journalist is to try to understand what is the truth here.
I don't like being lied to.
And we're being lied to on an epic scale.
When we're told your only choice is you have to be 100% with Zelensky, who's a puppet, who you can find on the internet in black stilettos and leather pants.
You know, with shirtless doing a spoof dancing with the stars kind of entertainment video.
That's a mock of a Ukrainian group that does this kind of satanic occult type of music video.
And I mean, Zelensky was selected like so many of our leaders.
And honestly, with with big tech and with election fraud these days, we don't know how many leaders all around the world have been selected for us and weren't actually voted in.
Yeah.
But what we do know is that there are increasing problems with technology and the digitization of our world, because look at what's happening with COVID.
Look at what has happened globally.
We are fighting the same battles all over the world.
To pretend that this war is about Russia and Ukraine is just a bare faced lie.
If Putin...
I think she's so good.
And I was so thrilled to find a reporter being honest in her reporting that I just had to That much, there is more, but I thought it was sensational.
Your thoughts, Scott?
Jim, that is Laura Logan's best statement, best presentation ever.
That is her best moment.
That is her climax of journalistic Her presentation there was the best I've ever heard from her, as well as any reporter, any journalist, any thinker, any political speaker, on articulating the reality of this entire situation.
She distilled and summarized everything that we've been saying and summarizing it.
Everything that she said was exactly, precisely right on this subject, From this vantage point, and I can't improve on a single thing that she said, so I'm going to end it right there.
Holly, your thoughts?
Yeah, Jim, what's the platform that was on?
Because it seemed like the reporters on there were actually asking questions and stuff like that.
It just seemed so foreign to me.
Yeah, it was what, America One Voice?
We'll go back and take a quick peek there.
Oh, okay.
I was surprised how open they were to what she was reporting.
Right, yeah, usually they cut someone off after a minute of that.
Yeah, I think Scott's right, that's definitely one of her best reports on what's really going on.
They would have 30 seconds on CBS or NBC.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, imagine if the American public got, you know, to hear any of that on, you know, any sort of platform.
That's why they even shut down, you know, Newsmax or OAN.
They wouldn't even let that, you know, go onto cable or something.
They couldn't let even, you know, a hint of any sort of questioning the official narrative at this point.
You know, the other thing that strikes me is, the reason this is so infuriating to us, you know, conservatives, truth tellers, whatever, it's not because of Putin, it's not because of Ukraine, it's because of our own country.
What this is doing is showing just how stupid and vacuous and effeminate and immoral and disgusting this country, the United States of America, and our culture and our media and our political class have all become.
We are degenerate lowlifes The President Company excluded, and I know the audience that watches Don's show are excluded, but we, as a country, as a nation, as a people, are the most degenerate, sick, perverted, half-wit retards on every kind of drug you can imagine, and are so delusional.
We're believing this nonsense.
That's the passion that I get from Laura Logan, and we've all been saying this.
But Laura Logan did it very well.
She articulates exactly the most offensive thing is being lied to.
We are being lied to on an epic scale.
That's the greatest sentence she said.
We're being lied to on an epic scale by people who've sworn an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States.
Implicit in that oath is the truth.
The whole truth and nothing but the truth to the American people that are the lifeblood of the American government and the Constitution.
The moment the government begins to lie to the people and the media and these politicians, this country is dead.
We've got blood poisoning and it's time to amputate the appendage.
And that's what we're getting is just, we're seeing the reflection of just how degenerate and retarded this country is because we don't even understand the depth of the lying that we're being exposed to.
And we have no one of any moral character anywhere in the American government or the military.
Or the media.
Or the media.
Yeah, Don, you wanted to add.
Oh, I was going to say, all those things that Scott is saying is right, but we are woke now.
We are woke now.
Let's go back and pick up which venue was... See, Real America's Voice.
Real America's Voice.
And perhaps I can... He has been warning for 15 years.
A little more.
That he is not going to stand by while the globalists take over the world, build bioweapons facilities and whatever else they're doing in Ukraine.
Ukrainian oligarchs.
Ukraine has been a center of money laundering.
For, you know, many of the leaders in this country, for how long?
Billions of US dollars have been laundered through Ukraine, and we say nothing about it.
These are our tax dollars.
I mean, before the impeachment trial, had you ever heard of anyone in the United States, I mean, us bringing in foreign governments to the White House for anti-corruption training?
I mean, does nobody question these things?
Why do we not question them?
We have an idiot like Lieutenant Colonel Vindman, Wow.
who goes at the impeachment trial and sits there as a lieutenant colonel.
He didn't even make colonel.
And he's telling the president of the United States what his policy should be.
You have a traitor in the form of Maria Yovanovitch, who was Obama's ambassador, who's telling Ukrainian government officials, don't listen to the will of the American people.
Don't listen to the election results.
We are the true leaders of America.
I mean, and then people object when the woman isn't even fired.
She's given a cushy job for life at Georgetown University.
I got it.
at the expense of the U.S. taxpayer.
And we're told that the president of the United States cannot say to his foreign counterparts, you know, that we want you to look into something.
But Joe Biden can withhold as much aid as he wants to.
I mean, there's so much hypocrisy and dishonesty here.
And Ukraine is at the center of it all.
Go back to Russia collusion.
Go to Alexander Chalupa.
Go to Eric Caramella, the whistleblower who went to work for Adam Schiff, who wasn't really a whistleblower, and all those corrupt people in the deep state.
And you know what?
The deep state isn't a theory.
It's not a conspiracy theory.
It's an actual deep state.
Look up the SES, the Senior Executive Service, because when that bureaucracy was ushered into law in the United States of America, That's when we got a bunch of unelected bureaucrats pulling the strings behind the scenes.
And these are the people that keep lying to us.
Absolutely.
He was married, but you know, it wasn't that sensational.
And look how many different dots she was connecting.
I mean, this was, as you say, Scott, this was actually heroic and historic and she is to be commended.
Amen.
Don, I know we only have a few seconds before our break.
Why don't you take us out, Len?
Oh, you're all good.
Well, I really have missed her on the air.
She's just fantastic.
Welcome back.
And so this is Truth vs. News here on the Equinox.
First day of spring.
Hopefully we're going to spring into action and get some truth out there and have it changed for the better coming up for the summertime as we go ahead.
