	So Ukraine has lost the war.
	It's so bad that the front lines of the Ukrainian fighters are collapsing rapidly.
	The Russians are making huge territory gains.
	And they're not far now, just a couple of kilometers away from the outer edges of the Second largest city in Ukraine known as Kharkov or Kharkiv.
	It's spelled and pronounced two different ways, depending on whether you're more Russian or more Western.
	Anyway, I'm just going to call it Kharkiv.
	But you get the idea.
	Anyway, the Ukrainian government is so terrified of the gains that Russia is making on the ground that there's actually talk, rumors at this point, that they may move the capital from Kiev to a city that's more on the western side of Ukraine.
	Because Kiev is, well, it's threatened, not imminently, But eventually it's threatened.
	Russia is making methodical gains on the ground, taking village after village.
	And there were some local stories out of Ukraine that talked about how all these so-called defenses that were supposed to have been built around Kharkov or Kharkiv, these defenses didn't exist.
	And the Russians walked right in.
	And why didn't the defenses exist?
	Because people stole the money and looted the money and just...
	You know, a bunch of contractors that were corporate shells and front groups, they took the money for building defenses, but instead of building defenses, they pocketed the money and took off.
	And that's the corruption, which really defines a lot of, you know, modern day Ukrainian government.
	And so there weren't really any defenses there, and the Russians are walking right in.
	Now, they haven't taken the city yet, just to be clear.
	They're on the outskirts of the city, but there were supposed to be better defenses out there to stop them from getting this close to the city.
	Now, Russia, unlike Israel, doesn't want...
	To commit civilian atrocities, Russia's not trying to kill Ukrainian civilians, although some civilians do die, especially as Ukrainian military uses civilian buildings as cover for hiding equipment, military equipment, things like that.
	But Russia is not deliberately bombing City blocks of civilian infrastructure the way Israel is doing.
	Israel is trying to commit genocide and ethnic cleansing and trying to slaughter every Palestinian person that's breathing.
	Russia is not trying to do that.
	Russia sees most of eastern Ukraine as ethnic Russians and people who they would welcome to be part of The expanded Russia.
	Russia has no such interest in Western Ukraine because the people of Western Ukraine don't want to be Russians for the most part.
	They consider themselves to be basically Western Europeans.
	So there's a natural dividing line between East and West in Ukraine.
	And that line and part of it is defined by the Dnieper River, you could say, you know, give or take.
	But Odessa, Odessa is one city on the southern coast that would be considered more of a western or southwestern city of Ukraine, but Russia absolutely is going to take Odessa for strategic reasons and also for historical reasons.
	Odessa has been a very famous military port throughout the history of the greater Russia or Soviet Union, depending on which part of history you're referring to.
	Now, what went wrong In Ukraine.
	Now, remember that the Western media has been lying to you the entire time.
	Since February of 2022, they kept saying, well, we're going to defeat Russia.
	Ukraine is going to win.
	Oh, we're going to have the summer offensive in the summer of 22.
	And then in the summer of 23.
	And now they're talking about another summer offensive coming in the summer of 24.
	It's nonsense.
	It was always nonsense.
	None of it ever could have worked, and here's why.
	And this gets down to the reason of why Western politicians are so stupid and incompetent.
	They run wars the way they run their campaigns.
	They think they can just lie and make it real.
	And since they don't understand anything about Real-world military tactics and strategy, logistics, theaters of operations and so on.
	They think that they can just throw units at Ukraine, like, here, have some tanks, here, have some artillery, here, have some F-16s.
	And that that's going to be a magical solution to defeat Russia.
	But it's piecemeal.
	And it's different equipment from different countries.
	Oh, here's some Leopard 2 tanks from Germany.
	Oh, here's a couple of Challenger tanks from the UK. Oh, here, have some French tanks.
	Have some Italian museum pieces.
	You know, here, have some Bradleys.
	And it's little by little, piece by piece.
	And that's not the way a military functions.
	A military has to operate in what's called combined arms warfare.
	Every piece of equipment on the battlefield has a role to play, and it's covering for some other piece, and then if they operate together in a combined way, then they can project strength that's much more powerful than any one of them alone, or they can effectively achieve defense in a much more powerful way than any of them could achieve alone.
	But combined arms warfare requires a cohesive, holistic strategy Of knowing what you have in advance, training on that equipment in advance, and training for integration.
	Like, oh, okay, so here's what the artillery pieces do at the same time that the drones are doing that, and then the armored personnel carriers are moving men over here, and then they're covered with this surveillance, and then these long-range missiles are also hitting advanced positions, and so on and so forth.
	It's a combined system And Ukraine, despite its best efforts, it never had all the equipment all at once.
	And even if it did, it lacked the training on that equipment.
	And this is not the fault of the Ukrainian military men.
	This is the fault of Western nations and Western bureaucrats.
	Who were telling Ukraine, oh, we got your back.
	We got your back, Z. It's all going to be good.
	Don't you worry.
	We're going to send all kinds of stuff.
	Here, have some ammo.
	Have some machine guns.
	Have some mortars.
	Oh, here's some armored personnel carriers.
	We have a lot of Bradleys.
	Here, have a bunch of Bradleys.
	We don't know what you're going to do with them.
	Just have some Bradleys.
	And then occasionally, oh, here's some tanks.
	Here's some Abrams tanks.
	But don't use them on the front line, for God's sake, because we don't want them to get destroyed.
	It's just on and on like that.
	And these Western politicians are living in a fantasy land dream world where they think the F-16 is the modern state of the art of fighter jets.
	Nah, it's like 40 years old.
	I mean, it's still a good plane if you can maintain it, but it's decades old.
	And remember that Pentagon report?
	It was a couple months ago, I forgot the name of it, that said, well, all this equipment that's been sent to Ukraine, there's no supply chain for spare parts and repairs for it.
	Remember that?
	Yeah, it was a blatant admission.
	I think it was an internal DOD report that went public, and that's what it said.
	It's like, okay, so you give them a bunch of tanks and armored personnel carriers and so on, but There's no training of how to repair them.
	There's no supply chain of spare parts.
	There are no instruction manuals written in Ukraine's language.
	It's like if somebody gave you a tank, how long would that tank be good for?
	Yeah, not very long because pretty soon something would go wrong.
	Probably the first day you started up, something would go wrong with it.
	And you'd be wondering, what am I supposed to do with this now?
	This giant, you know, 50 ton hunk of steel here.
	It won't even start.
	Well, you need an instruction manual.
	It might be one little relay somewhere in the wiring harness A little breaker somewhere, and you're like, I don't even know where that is.
	How are we going to find that?
	What do you do?
	Take apart an Abrams tank?
	How do you do that?
	Oh, you're going to need heavy cranes in a garage environment because it's got steel-plated armor.
	So you need equipment to work on a tank, right?
	And if you don't have that equipment, you can't work on the tank.
	It's even worse with aircraft.
	I don't know exactly what the ratio is, but for every hour that an F-16 is flying, there's X number of hours of maintenance required on the ground.
	It might be, I don't know, it might be 10.
	I don't know the exact number.
	And it's also that way with helicopters.
	You fly a fighter jet for two hours, you know, you've got maybe 20 hours of ground maintenance.
	Because there are checkout schedules, you have to check everything, you have to replace things on certain schedules.
	You know, the engine turbines have a limited life, only a certain number of hours that you can put on engines, only a certain number of takeoffs and landings that you can put on the landing gear and the tires, you know, and so on and so forth.
	And it's a nightmare of maintenance to have an airplane, especially a military jet, with all the complex electronics.
	And as anybody who's ever piloted those things will tell you, it's very rare that everything works.
	On any given day, there's always something that isn't quite working right.
	Usually enough things work to where you can still fly, you can still perform your mission, but it's rare when every single thing is working.
	So essentially, Western nations, NATO, told Ukraine, hey, don't negotiate peace with Russia, because we got your back, we're going to send you all this stuff, and it's going to work.
	We have magical tanks.
	We have magical F-16s.
	These are going to be magical weapons that will instantly defeat Russia.
	This was the promise, and this is what you saw reflected in the press, too.
	Of course, the press is nothing but military-industrial complex propaganda mouthpieces.
	So what else would you expect?
	Meanwhile, Russia is actually fighting with an integrated, holistic network of hardware and training.
	Now, granted, Russia in early 2022, they were pretty green.
	They didn't have a lot of combat experience.
	They made a lot of mistakes.
	Everybody did.
	But they learned from those mistakes.
	They adapted.
	And they made a lot of modifications to their equipment, like using the turtle shells on their tanks to stop drones and things like that.
	And they began to deploy their own drones, kamikaze drones, landsets, Thank you.
	became incredibly competent at land warfare, at warfare through attrition.
	Russia's goal was not to initially take land, but to destroy Ukraine's military capabilities to wage war.
	Ukraine, on the other hand, driven by incompetent NATO commanders, it was focused on taking land, no matter what the sacrifice in men was.
	And so Ukraine traded men for land, and Russia ignored the land for about two years, for the most part, and just focused on killing men.
	And that's how they generated 500,000 plus casualties of Ukrainian soldiers who are either crippled, wounded, or dead at this point, sadly.
	Again, no fault of theirs.
	The Ukrainian men fought bravely and courageously, but they were misled by the West, and they faced an organized war.
	Russian military that has now become the most competent, most experienced, and most effective land-based military in the world as of right now.
	So if you try to fight against a coordinated, organized, holistically trained major military force like Russia, and what you're fighting with is a hodgepodge, like a potluck of military equipment,
	With inadequate training and a lot of soldiers who frankly did not receive sufficient training just in the basics of military activities because there was this mad rush to get them to the front lines as quickly as possible.
	But if you do that, you're going to lose.
	And that's what has happened in Ukraine.
	Ukraine has lost this war despite all the propaganda of the leftists.
	So the bottom line of where all this is headed is not good.
	NATO forces are going to become so desperate to try to salvage the situation in Ukraine that inevitably they're going to start injecting NATO troops into this battle, which is going to put US forces directly in conflict With Russian forces.
	You're going to see UK forces, you know, French, German, and so on, all eventually joining in, maybe Polish, maybe Romania, who knows.
	And Russia is going to end up resorting to an escalation of its weapons selection, which will include thermobaric bombs.
	And then eventually, Potentially nuclear weapons, as Russia has already threatened to use.
	They say if the West puts troops in Ukraine, then that is the red line.
	That's a declaration of war against Russia by Western nations.
	And that means that Russia is legitimately justified in nuking Washington, D.C. or Paris or London or wherever.
	And so, that's a very realistic scenario at this point.
	And as I've talked about in other podcasts, Joe Biden and the lunatics in charge of America, they want Russia to nuke America.
	They want it because they benefit from it.
	I don't have time to go into all those reasons why right here, but the West benefits from Russia launching a nuclear attack on Western nations.
	I mean, for one thing, it achieves depopulation, which is part of the goal, and it helps destroy America, which is what...
	You know, the globalists running Biden want him to achieve.
	They want mass destruction.
	And they also want to cancel the election.
	And they want to destroy America's industrial base and its economy and its military might and so on because they want one world government, frankly, controlled mostly by China.
	So, this is not a good situation.
	So be prepared for all kinds of insanity to be unleashed upon us in the months ahead as Ukraine's situation continues to collapse.
	I am not sure that Ukraine is going to even make it to election day intact.
	The military may completely collapse.
	They may be completely routed.
	And they might just turn on Zelensky and say, you know, we're done.
	We're done dying.
	For your stupid ideas and your corruption.
	And that could happen on any given day.
	We're probably very close to that right now.
	And nobody in Ukraine wants to join the military.
	Everybody is avoiding that.
	People have fled the country by the millions.
	There's almost nobody left in Ukraine to fight, and even if they can fight, they just don't have the right equipment and the right training to fight effectively.
	It's done.
	So watch for more desperation by the West as this situation unravels.
	Pray for Ukraine.
	Pray for all the soldiers and men and women there.
	Pray for an end to the hostilities.
	Pray for peace.
	And thank you for listening.
