=== Europe Begs For Russian Gas (15:12) ===

[00:00:02]  If they think that they can operate against the country, which is 1.6 million square kilometers and has a population of 93 million and already has the reseries, more than 1 million reseries.
[00:00:16]  And there are another 5 million volunteers who want to join.
[00:00:20]  So good luck with that.
[00:00:21]  There are many people who believe that.
[00:00:22]  They watched too many Hollywood movies, especially the movie Patton and Pop Gun Maverick.
[00:00:29]  So they have these graduate degrees in this respect.
[00:00:33]  So, but no, I mean, you have to be a complete imbecile to even consider that thing.
[00:00:38]  So, it could be a catastrophe, essentially.
[00:00:42]  All right.
[00:00:42]  Welcome, everyone, to this urgent interview here on brightvideos.com.
[00:00:47]  And I'm joined today by author and analyst, and just an all around, very insightful, high IQ, amazing individual, Mr. Andrey Martyanov, who I've interviewed before, but it's been a while.
[00:00:59]  And so, he's back on the show today.
[00:01:01]  Welcome, Mr. Martyanov.
[00:01:02]  It's great to have you on today.
[00:01:04]  My pleasure.
[00:01:05]  Or is it Martyanov?
[00:01:07]  Is that the correct way?
[00:01:08]  Martyanov is fine.
[00:01:10]  Oh, okay.
[00:01:11]  All right.
[00:01:11]  I'm always trying to get it correct.
[00:01:13]  But here we are.
[00:01:15]  Trump just gave a speech.
[00:01:18]  I mean, every time he opens his mouth, it's another contradiction.
[00:01:21]  It appears that troops are still beginning to amass for a land invasion and maybe some kind of a rescue mission of claiming to rescue uranium.
[00:01:30]  Now, you are a naval officer formerly.
[00:01:35]  You.
[00:01:36]  You understand a lot about the military.
[00:01:37]  You've written numerous books that I've cited many times.
[00:01:41]  So give us your best assessment of the military reality that Trump and the Pentagon are facing.
[00:01:47]  Well, it's a very bad reality for them.
[00:01:50]  And one of the reasons for that is that first, the United States doesn't have resources nor required force to do anything of value, so to speak, the way the administration, which is not in its own mind, defines it.
[00:02:05]  So they're looking for some kind of objectives for the PR reasons because obviously it's all tied.
[00:02:10]  To the Epstein files and the midterms, which GOP is going to lose with the catastrophic results.
[00:02:17]  And so they will try to put what they call boots on the ground.
[00:02:21]  But for the most part, it's going to be the attempts at the special forces operations, rangers, all kinds of things of this nature.
[00:02:31]  And it's not going to involve, if they're going to use that, any kind of serious real combined arms warfare.
[00:02:39]  But even the force which they have, Which is okay, two marine expeditionary units.
[00:02:44]  You will have the essentially two enforced battalions, reinforced battalions.
[00:02:50]  That's what it comes down to of those two marine expeditionary units.
[00:02:55]  You'll have the elements of the 82nd Airborne, maybe give and take some other few thousand, give and take.
[00:03:03]  So if they think that they can operate against the country, which is 1.6 million square kilometers.
[00:03:11]  And has a population of 93 million and already has the reservists, more than 1 million reservists, apart from the regular forces, under their basically in arms.
[00:03:25]  And there are another 5 million volunteers who want to join.
[00:03:28]  So good luck with that.
[00:03:30]  So, and it's especially considering the fact that there is not a single field manual or army or Marine Corps doctrinal publication which involves description of what is going to happen to your.
[00:03:45]  force when you begin to assemble.
[00:03:48]  And because unlike mighty missiles and air forces of Taliban, this is a real deal.
[00:03:56]  And USA will be immediately under the fire impact.
[00:03:59]  And it's not going to be RPG.
[00:04:01]  These are going to be drones and all kinds of nasty missiles, which can carry anywhere between 100 to 500 kilograms of high explosives.
[00:04:12]  So, and Iran does have good recon and targeting on that.
[00:04:17]  So, it could be a catastrophe, essentially.
[00:04:20]  It already is.
[00:04:22]  But for now, when, you know, considering the state of the American society, which cannot take casualties, that is why there is always spin to insulate Americans from actually seeing what is going on.
[00:04:37]  This time, it's going to be impossible.
[00:04:40]  Yeah.
[00:04:41]  And it's clear that the actual casualty numbers are being hidden from the American people.
[00:04:45]  But I think it's the Washington Post that reported.
[00:04:49]  Of course, they're just, you know, propaganda mouthpiece.
[00:04:52]  But I think they're reporting on this bizarre.
[00:04:55]  Plan that I don't know if Trump is serious about this, but it involves 82nd Airborne and other troops being dropped in deep into Iran and then building an airfield while under enemy fire to fly in heavy equipment to burrow into this mountain to rescue the uranium enriched uranium.
[00:05:18]  Um, this sounds like a comic book fantasy land to me.
[00:05:22]  I won't pass this by the Pentagon, there are many people who believe that they watched.
[00:05:28]  To many Hollywood movies, especially the movie Patton, you know, and Top Gun Maverick.
[00:05:34]  So they have these graduate degrees in this respect.
[00:05:37]  So, but no, I mean, you have to be a complete imbecile to even conceive that thing.
[00:05:44]  And I'm not going to go into this market garden thing and what have you.
[00:05:48]  Again, they don't understand they're going to be facing, unlike it was the case with the Saddam's semi literate retarded army, they will be facing actual armed forces which can fight.
[00:05:58]  They have heavy equipment, they will have a good recon, and they have firepower.
[00:06:03]  And the worst part, which is the obvious pivot of any field manual in the US inventory, is long range fires, that the United States can bring long range fires.
[00:06:12]  Well, I have news for them.
[00:06:14]  Iran can also bring long range fires, and they outrange anything in the US arsenal.
[00:06:20]  So even coming up with this plan is a war crime.
[00:06:24]  It is a war crime not only against Iran, it's a war crime against own personnel, putting them essentially as the cannon fodder, which will be, I mean, disassembled.
[00:06:34]  I mean, I cannot even conceive who would even come up with this.
[00:06:39]  But again, don't put it past the Pentagon and people who advise Trump.
[00:06:44]  Is it possible that this is a deliberate plan to cause massive casualties among U.S. forces?
[00:06:51]  Because the U.S. knows that historically that causes the supporters of the war to become more fervent supporters.
[00:07:01]  At that point, they feel like, well, we have to win now.
[00:07:03]  We will fully support expansion.
[00:07:07]  Is that a possibility?
[00:07:08]  Well, obviously it's a possibility.
[00:07:10]  The problem is how probable it is.
[00:07:12]  But yeah, the United States society, well, it's actually not true what they.
[00:07:18]  Preach here because if you take a look at the Vietnam War, and these were much tougher people than they are today, okay?
[00:07:25]  And so, yeah, it didn't look like the United States and American society were supporting that war much, and especially once their coffins will start going back.
[00:07:39]  The United States doesn't know what real casualties are, many people still do not understand.
[00:07:44]  And this is another mythology, and this is what they teach in their.
[00:07:48]  US military academies, but essentially the bulk of the fighting in Vietnam was done not by the US.
[00:07:54]  US was bombing, make no mistake, and they certainly had those combat patrols and all that.
[00:08:00]  But in reality, the bulk of the fighting was done by the ARVM, Republic of Vietnam Army, which lost over 10 years more than 350,000 KIAs, and altogether the casualties amounted to almost 1.4 million.
[00:08:17]  American society is not capable to take it.
[00:08:20]  Simple as that.
[00:08:21]  Yes.
[00:08:22]  Now, what do you suppose Trump's going to actually do here?
[00:08:26]  Because he said in his speech, he said, we're going to bomb Iran into the Stone Age, which is a war crime, obviously, just claiming that.
[00:08:34]  But then he said, we're going to wind this down.
[00:08:37]  Or, I'm sorry, he implied we're going to wind it down.
[00:08:40]  But he didn't say anything about controlling the Strait of Hormuz.
[00:08:45]  And in previous quotes, he just said, well, that's Europe's problem.
[00:08:48]  They should open the Strait of Hormuz.
[00:08:52]  If he doesn't control the Strait of Hormuz, Then hasn't he effectively handed over control of the world's energy supply to Iran?
[00:09:02]  Yeah, Iran already controls the state of Hormuz.
[00:09:04]  Iran already issued demands, and it's already actually been in place.
[00:09:10]  They said, Iran said that, yeah, we're going to talk with Oman only if Oman wants to share with the benefits of having the toll booth, which Iran already installed.
[00:09:19]  And now we know that the payments are done.
[00:09:22]  They are done in yuan, and they're done per.
[00:09:28]  Equivalent of one US dollar per barrel of the oil transported.
[00:09:35]  The only countries which have free passage there are Russia, China, and the rest of it, I don't know.
[00:09:42]  Who else?
[00:09:44]  Well, I think there was a deal with Malaysia.
[00:09:47]  Yeah, yeah, probably.
[00:09:48]  Yeah, there are all some countries from Southeast Asia.
[00:09:52]  Yes, there are definitely more than just China and Russia.
[00:09:56]  Right.
[00:09:57]  So then, effectively, if this is the state in which Trump leaves the Middle East.
[00:10:02]  Basically, Trump showed up, wrecked the global economy, made Iran more powerful, blamed everybody else, and then left.
[00:10:12]  The United States is evicted.
[00:10:14]  It has been evicted from the Gulf.
[00:10:17]  It's probably going to relocate whatever the assets it has to Israel.
[00:10:22]  Granted, Israel survives as a viable state in the nearest future.
[00:10:27]  And that's it.
[00:10:28]  And it doesn't matter where they relocate.
[00:10:31]  I mean, there is no problem for.
[00:10:34]  Iranian missile forces to target just about anything in the region.
[00:10:38]  Yes.
[00:10:40]  So, then, doesn't that mean that Iran would clearly leverage its control over the Strait against the other Arab nations to absolutely force them to completely, permanently evict any U.S. forces from restoring and rebuilding those military bases in the region?
[00:10:58]  Absolutely.
[00:11:00]  Absolutely.
[00:11:01]  I made a video a few days back.
[00:11:03]  I called it Root Causes.
[00:11:05]  It's a repetition, but in the different region on a smaller scale, but still geopolitically very significant, is what Russians do.
[00:11:13]  When you listen to Putin, Labrov, all people, you know, top Russian political top, they repeat this ad nauseum root causes.
[00:11:23]  We either address them or we will continue to do what we're doing, killing whatever the remaining cannon fora they have in Ukraine and those so called volunteers.
[00:11:32]  This is exactly Iran's position now.
[00:11:34]  If you read it tensely, there are five points.
[00:11:37]  They are addressing root causes.
[00:11:40]  And if Gulf monarchies do not want to evict United States bases, Those bases will be obliterated and Gulf is, well, yeah, they will cease to exist as they exist now.
[00:11:51]  They already did, you know, cease to exist as they existed before.
[00:11:56]  So, yeah, it's a root cause.
[00:11:58]  You either address it or not.
[00:11:59]  The war continues.
[00:12:00]  Iranians, it already strategically won.
[00:12:04]  It's just a matter of how this will be now arranged in terms of the military political outcomes.
[00:12:10]  Yeah, and I'm thank you for that explanation.
[00:12:13]  And I'm thinking in particular of Qatar because Iran could simply say to Qatar, look, Your entire economy, your entire kingdom, your power depends on your ability to export LNG.
[00:12:25]  And we will simply block all exports from here forward if you continue to work with the West.
[00:12:31]  Couldn't they say that?
[00:12:33]  They probably already did.
[00:12:35]  And again, their response also was that you take out our oil and extraction facilities, and Iran will take out everything in the Gulf.
[00:12:44]  And Iran certainly can do that.
[00:12:46]  They already started doing this.
[00:12:48]  And so if we look attentively at the dynamics of that, Not futures really, the actual gas, actual LNG.
[00:12:57]  It's from what I heard, I didn't, don't quote me on that.
[00:13:01]  I'm taking it from the top of my head.
[00:13:03]  But it grew up like 300% already.
[00:13:06]  So Europe is down because they completely depend on that.
[00:13:09]  They cannot buy anything from Russia.
[00:13:11]  Russians decline.
[00:13:12]  They don't sell them anything to Europe.
[00:13:15]  So there you go.
[00:13:16]  We have the geopolitical shockwave of unprecedented scale.
[00:13:23]  For five years, it's just absolute mayhem.
[00:13:25]  I'm so glad you brought that up about Europe because I read recently that Germany's Chancellor Merz is now essentially begging Russia to sell them Russian gas and even claiming that he will or his country will pay for the repairs of Nord Stream, which the United States Navy destroyed in another act of terrorism.
[00:13:46]  But But Germany is also simultaneously still funding Ukraine's military effort.
[00:13:53]  Why would Russia sell gas to Germany at all?
[00:13:57]  No.
[00:13:57]  Germany has to die out as it exists.
[00:13:59]  It's their problems, okay?
[00:14:01]  If they don't have, well, the society will be completely emasculated and it is brainwashed.
[00:14:07]  And so if they continue to elect this type of people, let them basically rot.
[00:14:13]  It's not Russia's responsibility.
[00:14:15]  And yes, Russians will never forgive Germany anymore.
[00:14:19]  They blew it.
[00:14:21]  Big time.
[00:14:22]  There was a sort of reconciliation after World War II, granted on the very, so to speak, German, you know, calculating grounds that they needed their energy, you know, their Ostpolitik and all.
[00:14:34]  Now, no, there is no forgiving of Germans.
[00:14:37]  Russians will not forget their Leopard being burned by Russians in Kursk Oblast.
[00:14:43]  So they betrayed Russia.
[00:14:47]  And so there you go.
[00:14:48]  You know, so pardon me, I need to stop this calling.
[00:14:53]  So, and yeah, it's.
[00:14:55]  What can I say?
[00:14:57]  So I thought that perhaps.
[00:15:00]  Perhaps Russia would be willing to sell gas to Germany with a Nazi tax of, let's say, five euros per cubic meter of gas.
[00:15:09]  You know, just make it ridiculously expensive and say, do you want it or not?

=== West Done By Israel Control (03:56) ===

[00:15:14]  I mean, Russia already stated that it will, she already does.
[00:15:19]  She already sells all energy at the premium.
[00:15:22]  You have to understand that.
[00:15:25]  It's at the premium.
[00:15:26]  So there's no going back to all those, you know, Things which were happening before.
[00:15:32]  And it actually also goes towards India, which before that was, you know, what pretty much not exploiting, it was mutual, you know, but they were buying this on their discount price of their, for example, Euros.
[00:15:47]  Now Euros is trading at even on futures, in reality, it's even higher.
[00:15:52]  On futures, about $109, $108 per barrel.
[00:15:56]  It's about 85% growth.
[00:15:58]  And even India will be buying it for premium.
[00:16:02]  For Germany and others, as Rudenka, first deputy foreign minister of Russia, two days ago stated, it's official statement by the foreign ministry that countries which have been, well, basically imposed the cap on Russian energy, they're not getting any.
[00:16:23]  Russia is not selling them anything.
[00:16:25]  And now, with Russia stopping the export of gasoline, there you go.
[00:16:32]  So, Europe, let Europe enjoy.
[00:16:35]  So, okay, kind of a personal question to you because one of the things that you and I share is that we are bewildered at the stupidity of Western civilization.
[00:16:48]  It's like a suicide cult stabbing themselves in the neck repeatedly and claiming its victory.
[00:16:55]  How do you try to make sense of what's happening?
[00:16:58]  Because you live in America, you will be impacted by all of this in terms of food prices and supply chain fracturing.
[00:17:04]  How do you try to?
[00:17:06]  What do you say to yourself when you look at the world and, like, has everybody gone insane?
[00:17:11]  Well, I mean, I already made the sense a long time ago.
[00:17:16]  It's just a matter of, you know, adding to the sense some juicy details, if you wish, but they do not change their basically main thrust of my books and writing.
[00:17:27]  For we're having 57 million Christian Zionists in the United States.
[00:17:34]  They're not Christian, it has nothing to do with Christianity, it's a heresy, and they're fanatics, you know.
[00:17:39]  Clearly, clearly.
[00:17:42]  Clearly, they are fanatics.
[00:17:43]  They are fanatics, yes.
[00:17:45]  And so they're not Christians.
[00:17:46]  Anybody who thinks that they are Christians have a bridge to sell them, cash only.
[00:17:50]  And so these are the people who are the main trust, basically, of the Israeli first agenda for basically Washington, D.C. Washington, D.C. doesn't have U.S. Congress.
[00:18:02]  United States doesn't have U.S. Congress.
[00:18:05]  It has Knesset 2.0.
[00:18:07]  Trump is utterly controlled by Bibi Netanyahu and Mossad.
[00:18:11]  And so that's what Washington, D.C. is.
[00:18:14]  And so, United States.
[00:18:16]  I am repeating this for a number of years now, it is not a sovereign country.
[00:18:20]  It is controlled by Israel and it has to be sacrificed by Israel.
[00:18:24]  And so these people who represent also the base for the GOP and senators like Lindsey Graham and all other fanatics there, they are there in the driving seat.
[00:18:37]  They, first, keep in mind, we, like normal folk, you know, even atheists or Catholics or what have you, we're not even considered Christians by their.
[00:18:49]  You know, definitions because it's Schofield Bible brainwashed people.
[00:18:53]  So, and that's who they are.
[00:18:56]  And we know what happened with Charlie Kirk.
[00:18:59]  They control media, they control political process, and the United States is now a victim, people of the United States.
[00:19:08]  And yeah, that's what it is.

=== Western Civilization Collapsing Now (10:27) ===

[00:19:11]  And as sad as it is, but you are correct, the West is done.
[00:19:15]  West in Europe is done for a number of other reasons.
[00:19:19]  But again, They always try to basically legitimize pedophilia.
[00:19:23]  There are all kinds of satanic things.
[00:19:25]  There is another pedophile in BBC just two days ago.
[00:19:28]  It looks like.
[00:19:29]  Really?
[00:19:30]  Yeah, yeah.
[00:19:32]  Absolutely.
[00:19:33]  They need to call it, you know, PBC, you know, Pedophile British Corporation.
[00:19:38]  That's what they are.
[00:19:39]  And so we have this situation.
[00:19:42]  It's a complete decomposition of the culture, uglification.
[00:19:48]  Western women have been insultified.
[00:19:51]  So, because it's really interesting to be a whore, you know, only fans, prostitute, or things like that.
[00:19:57]  It's a result of the third wave feminism.
[00:20:00]  So, we have the ugliness which descended upon us.
[00:20:03]  And one of the basically manifestations of this ugliness, we can see now what Trump is trying to do to the White House with his ballroom, which is conceived by, I don't know how to even describe it, an elegant and beautiful building of the White House for residents of US presidents is now going to be uglified.
[00:20:24]  Did you see his golden things inside the White House?
[00:20:27]  Yeah, modeled after Kim Jong un, gypsy level.
[00:20:31]  So there you go.
[00:20:33]  And remember, listen, H.L. Mencken, exactly 100 years ago, he stated it beautifully.
[00:20:40]  He said that the more we actually, as our democracy is being perfected, at some point of time, the deepest desires, hard desires of our people will happen.
[00:20:52]  And the White House will be adorned by the downright moron.
[00:20:55]  This is H.L. Mencken.
[00:20:57]  Right.
[00:20:59]  So let's back up to.
[00:21:01]  I'm really glad you brought that up because I agree with you that the Western civilization is in a state of accelerating collapse and it appears to be irreversible because, for so many reasons, but lack of intelligence would just be one of them.
[00:21:15]  But let's go back to 1991 and the breakup of the Soviet Union, which was cheered, of course, by the West.
[00:21:22]  And then at that time, the Western leaders thought that they would dominate the world for a thousand years and that they could do anything they wanted.
[00:21:30]  With the currency, with their military, with power projection from US aircraft carriers, which have now proven to be utterly useless.
[00:21:39]  But that dominating attitude continued until now.
[00:21:45]  And hasn't Iran been, well, I guess, you know, Russia also, in terms of NATO empowering Ukraine to fight Russia, you know, Russia stood up against NATO, but Iran has standed up directly against the full force of the United States military.
[00:22:04]  Is this a pivot point for the downfall of the American empire?
[00:22:10]  Yeah, it's been around.
[00:22:12]  Listen, if you go to my blog, And go to the January 7th, 2015 post in my blog.
[00:22:20]  One of the first posts in my blog.
[00:22:23]  Is that your substack?
[00:22:25]  No, it's myblogspot.com.
[00:22:28]  Oh, okay.
[00:22:28]  Give us the address of that, please.
[00:22:30]  Yeah, it's smoothiex12.blogspot.com.
[00:22:36]  Got it.
[00:22:37]  And you read this, I write about it that even by initiating the coup d'etat in Ukraine, the West and the United States sustained defeat.
[00:22:48]  They just don't know it yet because they absolutely have no qualified people who know anything about Russia, Russian culture, Russian people, and of course military history.
[00:22:58]  And generally speaking, about military science, the United States militarily is not the top league, despite the statements by people like Obama, you remember, the finest fighting force in history.
[00:23:11]  I'm pretty sure Mr. Zhukov and Mr. Manstein were spinning in their graves.
[00:23:19]  Pete Hegseth drives that point home because he's a drunk frat boy.
[00:23:23]  Yeah, that's, you know, obviously, and people like Alexander the Great and, you know, Napoleon probably was insulted too, you know.
[00:23:35]  So, and Kutuzov was absolutely terrified.
[00:23:38]  He also was spinning in his graves.
[00:23:41]  But then again, you know, you cannot teach real military history in U.S. military academies.
[00:23:45]  That's simply not allowed.
[00:23:48]  And as a result, we have what we have today, and it's going to get worse.
[00:23:54]  And at this stage, depending on what Trump will try to do, because it's not normal, it's not driven by the rational, scientific, or any other moral point, as you correctly stated, he is now proclaiming war crimes being the new norm.
[00:24:15]  The United States itself is under the danger of decomposition, essentially.
[00:24:19]  Granted, that U.S. society already is dramatically split, and we have two extremes, you know, and so called left, which is not left, it's neoliberal, fanatical, vogue, whatever the strata of American society.
[00:24:37]  On the other side, you have what we spoke about, basically so called conservatives, which are neoconservatives, they are also neoliberal.
[00:24:47]  But they are also fanatical Israeli forces.
[00:24:49]  So that's the conundrum for the American society.
[00:24:52]  Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
[00:24:54]  And I'm also struck by the fact that the U.S. hasn't actually been in any kind of ground combat with parity forces for, I don't know how long it's been.
[00:25:08]  Since Korea.
[00:25:09]  Since Korea.
[00:25:10]  Since Korea, okay.
[00:25:11]  So, you know, there is overconfidence, there's incompetence, clearly, at the highest levels of the Pentagon, but there's also.
[00:25:21]  You know, there's a weakness in the U.S. soldier mentality today.
[00:25:27]  And I know a lot of soldiers I've trained with special forces privately in firearms and everything.
[00:25:32]  But all the strong guys that I know, they retired long ago, and what's left behind is not the same as what it used to be.
[00:25:40]  Do you think that if our ground forces and special forces, the 82nd Airborne and so on, if they actually get inserted into Iran, are they in for a wake up call or are they going to prove to be supermen?
[00:25:52]  Yeah, there are no Supermans.
[00:25:54]  You have to understand one thing, which I repeat ad nauseum for many years.
[00:25:59]  There is not a single serviceman in the United States military or special or whatever CIA paramilitaries.
[00:26:05]  None doesn't exist.
[00:26:07]  None of them exist from simple Grant to the general who ever fought in defense of their own country, motherland.
[00:26:16]  They never fought for their family.
[00:26:18]  They never fought for their property, for their culture, for their freedom.
[00:26:23]  None do not exist.
[00:26:25]  And none of them know what real war is when your family is blown to smithereens.
[00:26:29]  Your wife is raped, your children are killed or tortured in front of you, especially.
[00:26:34]  So, the United States doesn't know war like real war, continental war.
[00:26:42]  And there is not a single person in the U.S. military who has enough developed this organ intellectual, moral, spiritual organ, which our consciousness can actually relate to any.
[00:26:57]  They can do the lip service to it and they say, oh, yeah, we understand.
[00:27:01]  Well, understanding is not enough.
[00:27:03]  You have to actually be guided by it.
[00:27:05]  And the United States has no disguise whatsoever.
[00:27:11]  Yeah, I think that's accurate because we're always fighting wars over there, somewhere else.
[00:27:16]  It's never our own family's position.
[00:27:18]  It's a visionary force, always was, always will remain, and you cannot change cultural DNA.
[00:27:24]  Geography here also takes the precedent because the United States is a very secure society in terms of, at least until the development of the intercontinental ballistic missiles.
[00:27:35]  It was always secured society by sitting behind the oceans and pontificating on the matters of war and peace while having reality zero experience with it.
[00:27:45]  And so, well, I'm obviously a little bit tired about listening or hearing about the American Civil War.
[00:27:52]  As brutal as it was, it was not even in the same league, for example, as the Russian Civil War, 1918, 1922, which had, well, more than 12 million casualties.
[00:28:05]  So, yeah, I mean, it's just like you.
[00:28:08]  Scales they don't comprehend.
[00:28:10]  And the same is like, give me some more like Kellogg, you know, or General Keane, or explain to him, just literally grab him by the, you know, his collar and bring him onto the line of combat contact in Ukraine or whatever is remaining in it and explain to him and show him how the American generals who were in charge of the developing of the operations in Ukraine killed two, almost two and a half million Ukrainian soldiers.
[00:28:41]  Killed, we're not talking about wounded, which actually multiplied easily by 1.5.
[00:28:48]  So they did seven and well, about seven million casualties for Ukrainian, which is even their propaganda pieces like Washington Post and New York Times cannot, even Time Magazine, even BBC, they go out to say there is a demographic catastrophe.
[00:29:04]  They killed the nation.
[00:29:05]  These people don't have any consciousness, they don't understand what they're doing, and militarily they are incompetent.
[00:29:10]  If you look at this Visbaden group, which Planned this famous counteroffensive.
[00:29:17]  And these are Mr. Aguda, these are Mr. Donahue, who today is actually the Supreme Commander of the American Forces in Europe.
[00:29:25]  This was Mr. Kavoly.
[00:29:27]  These people have no clue about operational planning.
[00:29:29]  What did they do?
[00:29:30]  They killed 200,000 of the Ukrainian troops and they didn't even reach Russia's first line of defense.
[00:29:37]  How can you explain?

=== American Commanders Kill Troops (15:22) ===

[00:29:38]  This is the level, okay?
[00:29:40]  This is what they teach them, teach being, of course, a very kind of loose term, in the military academies in the United States.
[00:29:48]  Yeah, well, clearly the way the US conducts war is obsolete, but today it's worse than that.
[00:29:55]  It's just stupid.
[00:29:57]  For example, this troop buildup in the Middle East, there's no logistics planning behind it.
[00:30:01]  It's just Trump just announces we're going to invade.
[00:30:04]  And I imagine all his military commanders are like, what?
[00:30:08]  We need a year to build up the forward operating bases and so on.
[00:30:11]  But that's not even my question, though.
[00:30:14]  I want to ask you, Andre, what about Russia's role in this?
[00:30:19]  Because there was a report just the other day of Russian submarines.
[00:30:22]  Perhaps in the Arabian Sea, and Russia has very advanced submarine technology, as you know.
[00:30:29]  But if Iran were to fall to the West, that would be a very dire cost, I think, to Russia and China, both in terms of trade and geography and so on.
[00:30:44]  What is Russia doing now, or maybe willing to do, in your view, to support Iran?
[00:30:50]  Well, I mean, you have to understand that what I'm about to say.
[00:30:54]  Some of it is absolutely verified.
[00:30:57]  The other part, you know, I'm just going to say things which could be speculation, but probably not.
[00:31:03]  Okay.
[00:31:04]  Well, in terms of Russian nuclear power submarines, in terms of the multipurpose submarines, they are in Indian Ocean constant on patrols.
[00:31:13]  There is some unit which is in there.
[00:31:16]  So there's nothing new.
[00:31:17]  They conduct the observation and recon missions there, apart from carrying, obviously, very powerful.
[00:31:24]  You know, missile basically.
[00:31:26]  Yes.
[00:31:28]  So that's normal.
[00:31:29]  But yeah, if we start talking about it, for some reason, Iran is really precise in its strikes, right?
[00:31:38]  Who knows?
[00:31:39]  There is only other recon and intelligence operation which is measuring up, albeit smaller than that of the United States, and that's Russians.
[00:31:50]  They have a very advanced system of recon and targeting and processing power.
[00:31:55]  So China also provides some support, but I mean, So, you know, make your own conclusions, okay?
[00:32:01]  For some reason, Iranians are extremely accurate, you know.
[00:32:06]  What about missile technology?
[00:32:11]  Has there been any transfer or any knowledge gained by Iran from Russia?
[00:32:17]  No, no.
[00:32:18]  No, it's mostly North Korean.
[00:32:22]  Oh, okay.
[00:32:23]  So there is a North Korean thing, but again, it's even North Korea today has a more advanced technology.
[00:32:30]  Missile technology than it was provided for Iran, albeit Iranians, they have their own engineers.
[00:32:36]  It's older technologies, but they're still good enough to inflict horrendous damage.
[00:32:41]  And they just basically penetrate US and Israeli air defense essentially at will.
[00:32:47]  So that's good enough.
[00:32:49]  And obviously, Iranians also kind of developed their own, so to speak, tricks for that technology.
[00:32:56]  No, Russia didn't transfer anything in terms of missile of this nature.
[00:33:02]  What Russia officially known, Russians transferred, there is at least four Su 35s in Iran's inventory.
[00:33:13]  We can assume that the MiG 29s, which were obsolete by, they have been probably upgraded with the Zhouk radar, which allows them to use R 77 air to air missile, which has the range of 200 kilometers.
[00:33:32]  It actually outranges anything in the US inventory, which is the most they have AIM 120 MRAM.
[00:33:40]  And so that could be the case.
[00:33:42]  We know that Su 35s are there, and we know, but only four.
[00:33:46]  And you have to understand, you have to train personnel on them.
[00:33:49]  You have to shake down this unit of the Su 35s and takes time.
[00:33:54]  But what we know, Mi 28 also helicopters are there, and they're actually quite effective in the fight against the drones.
[00:34:03]  We just know there are yet another two drones, these ones from Saudi Arabia and UAE, have been shut down by Iranians, and they use all kinds of air defense means.
[00:34:17]  Probably helicopters, which are very effective when fighting this type of aircraft.
[00:34:23]  And I would imagine if the U.S. lands forces there, the helicopters would become major players in whatever happens next, I would imagine.
[00:34:34]  Tell me, what do you think happens if Israel takes this nuclear?
[00:34:38]  Because Israel is getting hit very, very, very hard by all reports and their defenses don't work, obviously.
[00:34:45]  Iron Dome has become a joke.
[00:34:48]  Miranda is a joke, yeah.
[00:34:49]  Yeah, it just doesn't work.
[00:34:51]  Don't work.
[00:34:52]  And they've also run out of interceptors that mostly don't work anyway.
[00:34:56]  I've heard people like Ted Postal saying there's only a 5% interception rate.
[00:35:00]  Well, Ted Postal is, yeah, let's not go there.
[00:35:05]  But no, it's not 5%.
[00:35:08]  It's probably higher than that, even up to like 30%, maybe in some cases, depending on the type of the target, because you need to also separate it.
[00:35:17]  But even that, you might as well not have it.
[00:35:21]  So it's still catastrophic.
[00:35:22]  Right, right.
[00:35:24]  I hear you.
[00:35:24]  So What then happens in your view in terms of retaliations or escalations or involvement of Russia or China or North Korea if Israel launches nuclear weapons and strikes Iran with nuclear weapons?
[00:35:40]  Israel will cease to exist, but not because somebody will actually attack it, albeit per UN charter.
[00:35:47]  I believe there is the clause which allows you when something like this is almost kind of perverted, right to protect, R2P.
[00:35:58]  So, Israel will simply cease to exist for all kinds of other reasons because it will become a completely pariah state.
[00:36:06]  And the same goes for the United States.
[00:36:08]  And in this case, the United States will be reduced to the regional power with rusting, obsolete forces.
[00:36:16]  And I don't know if anybody will be able to bear this responsibility in moral terms.
[00:36:21]  Not that Washington, D.C. has any morality in it anymore.
[00:36:25]  But the consequences will be dire.
[00:36:28]  And that will also.
[00:36:31]  Most likely accelerate the creation of the Eurasian Military Union.
[00:36:41]  We know that obviously militarily Russia and China are cooperating very closely.
[00:36:46]  But that will be the immediate creation of the serious Eurasian military union between obviously China, Russia, and India, most likely, and a number of other countries being a part of this thing.
[00:37:02]  And it's.
[00:37:04]  What about Turkey?
[00:37:05]  No, Turkey, no.
[00:37:07]  While Erdogan there, good Lord, the guy has like, I don't know how many butt cheeks he has.
[00:37:12]  He probably can sit on five chairs simultaneously.
[00:37:17]  So, but no, no, it's.
[00:37:20]  You think Turkey will stick with the West?
[00:37:22]  Yeah, they, whatever you say, it's.
[00:37:26]  Especially after you can see how this Turkoman progue this wet dream by.
[00:37:32]  He is a Muslim Brotherhood, okay?
[00:37:34]  Islamic Brotherhood.
[00:37:35]  So he is the part of Iqlan.
[00:37:38]  He is obviously a very shrewd politician, but Turkey is still going to be sticking.
[00:37:44]  To the West.
[00:37:46]  But you think India will join with Russia and China?
[00:37:50]  I'm pretty sure that it will because the political pressure will be huge.
[00:37:55]  And again, the majority of the world still is afraid and don't like nuclear weapons.
[00:38:00]  So essentially, it will be the final resignation of the combined West.
[00:38:06]  NATO is already dead, we know that, but that will be the end of the NATO.
[00:38:10]  Completely the jury, it's the fact that that and United States will become the pariah state too.
[00:38:15]  And so, but then eventually Israel will simply disintegrate and that's it.
[00:38:21]  Okay, last question for you because I know we're running up on time here and I appreciate your time.
[00:38:28]  What happens next with the Ukraine conflict situation?
[00:38:33]  Well, I mean, you have to understand that, as the Russians already stated a number of occasions recently, that, oh, yeah, this anchorage and the spirit dissipated, there is nothing, the old negotiations are on pause.
[00:38:47]  And so, Judging by the map of Ukraine.
[00:38:54]  So you have to understand there are a lot of territories which are under Russian control, which are not those oblasts, you know, which for.
[00:39:05]  So Russians are very deep in Sumy Oblast, we are very deep in Kharkov, very deep in Dnipropetrovsk.
[00:39:13]  And those territories will fall under the operational control.
[00:39:16]  They are already under the operational control.
[00:39:18]  But eventually, yet, we are observing now the slow breakup of Ukraine, and it's not going to be.
[00:39:24]  20%.
[00:39:25]  And as many people understand that, yeah, once you are, for example, like you dip into the Dnieper Petrovsk, okay, what they call it, Dnieper Oblast, you're not gonna go back after that, you know?
[00:39:37]  So, and that's the end of Ukraine, as we know, as per, if you take a look at the videos and what is happening there, it is complete, I mean, slaughterhouse of the Ukrainian forces and those, you know, what so called volunteers, it's just slaughterhouse.
[00:39:57]  Try to hold on to some kind of strong point or some city or town, but they eventually get cleaned up, mopped up, and they run.
[00:40:07]  And yeah, will Russia end up by the end of this year at the left bank of Dnieper River?
[00:40:16]  Likely.
[00:40:17]  Yeah, Russians are not in rush.
[00:40:19]  They save their own personnel.
[00:40:21]  They don't do stupid things.
[00:40:22]  They don't do those large rep aero offensives.
[00:40:27]  They just blow things to smithereens.
[00:40:30]  With the personnel of the armed forces of Ukraine in them.
[00:40:33]  Just recently, they again went, tried to do this, what is called midstorm.
[00:40:39]  They pumped those guys with, what's that, methamphetamines.
[00:40:46]  30, the platoon, they loaded in one M1 Abrams tank, another Stryker APC, something, vehicles.
[00:40:55]  They go in.
[00:40:57]  The moment they get on the road, they immediately burned and all that.
[00:41:01]  So they will continue to do this and the more will die.
[00:41:06]  What about the southern coastline and Odessa in particular?
[00:41:11]  I don't know.
[00:41:12]  Okay, I don't know.
[00:41:13]  Once Zaporozhye is taken, we have to wait and see what's going to happen there.
[00:41:18]  So, because you know what?
[00:41:20]  Why would you, for example, why would you basically sacrifice your personnel for something which could be obtained by political means?
[00:41:32]  Some like collapsing the regime in Kyiv, which is essentially, again, Ukraine is the virtual state.
[00:41:39]  It's literally, it lives on the handouts by Europe and the United States.
[00:41:45]  Period.
[00:41:46]  Yeah, that's clear.
[00:41:47]  But, and the question is, those handouts probably cannot last forever.
[00:41:52]  And also, the fact that the Middle East war right now is devaluing the dollar as a trading currency for energy.
[00:42:00]  So, yes, go ahead.
[00:42:02]  No, no, I mean, yeah, Europe will die on the sword.
[00:42:06]  They are stupid.
[00:42:08]  And you have to understand, unlike American people, many of them obviously brainwashed.
[00:42:13]  And so, but I mean, Americans in general are generally very decent folks, you know.
[00:42:18]  I'm not talking about those fanatics from the Israel firsters.
[00:42:23]  But Europeans, you have to understand what many people still don't understand.
[00:42:27]  This is the continent in which two world wars originated from.
[00:42:33]  And Europeans, especially Germans, especially Western Germans, French, they don't like Russians.
[00:42:41]  They hate Russian gods, majority of their societies.
[00:42:44]  They may be against the war in the Middle East, but it doesn't mean that they stop hating Russians.
[00:42:49]  You know why?
[00:42:51]  And France was humiliated by Russia dramatically.
[00:42:55]  Yes.
[00:42:56]  In 1812, then Russians triumphantly entered Paris in 1814.
[00:43:01]  Napoleon was beaten by Russians, no stop.
[00:43:04]  Germany, oh my God, Russians entered Berlin three times.
[00:43:08]  The last one, you know, with the defeating the best West could have thrown at the Soviet Union, it was 1945.
[00:43:16]  And if you take a look, there is not a nation in Europe which hasn't been beaten by Russians, you know.
[00:43:22]  And sometimes in the bloody pulp.
[00:43:24]  And so now, and especially after what happened with Germany supporting all that, there is no going back.
[00:43:30]  Russians hate Europeans now.
[00:43:32]  So, I mean, not all.
[00:43:33]  There are good people in Europe still, you know, make no mistake.
[00:43:36]  But overall, European societies, they hate Russian gods.
[00:43:40]  Well, the anti Russian hatred that we were all subjected to as propaganda since 2022 has been off the charts, but it's also the same kind of anti Iranian hatred propaganda.
[00:43:52]  Yeah, dehumanization.
[00:43:54]  Yes, absolutely.
[00:43:55]  You have all those people, all those guys from the CIA or someone's brigade in the UK who cannot, you know what, it's both a combination of the hatred, which is historical.
[00:44:09]  In case with British, it's historical.
[00:44:11]  Goes back to essentially 18th century.
[00:44:15]  But the rest of it, yeah, they just hate Russians.
[00:44:18]  You know, don't forget, Mr. Clapper, remember he said that Russians are genetically kind of like screwed up?
[00:44:26]  Did you see any protestations from CNN or?
[00:44:29]  No, Harvard, yeah, Russian, I'm Russian.
[00:44:33]  I'm Ultramensch.
[00:44:35]  You have to understand it.
[00:44:36]  It goes not only to the European elites or European population.
[00:44:40]  You look attentively at the actually American system of education.
[00:44:45]  Everything they taught about Russia is taught from the point of view of this inferior, retarded, genetically damaged people like me, Slavs, dirty Slavs, things of this nature.
[00:44:58]  It's bizarre.
[00:45:00]  It's bizarre.

=== Survival Supplies For Nuclear War (04:35) ===

[00:45:01]  It is, yeah.
[00:45:02]  Take any PhD in Russian here, like Michael McFaul.
[00:45:06]  He's a complete imbecile.
[00:45:08]  But yeah, he is the guy who believes all this pro democracy liberal BS.
[00:45:13]  Take Sarah Payne.
[00:45:14]  She teaches in the US Naval War College.
[00:45:18]  Strategy.
[00:45:19]  Strategy.
[00:45:20]  Who never commanded a squad in her life and doesn't know what military science is?
[00:45:25]  She talks about Russians.
[00:45:26]  She still believes that Russia lives in the 1990s.
[00:45:29]  Andre, I will tell you, as an American, and I know you got to run, but I will tell you that MBAs and PhDs are handed out to complete morons in America.
[00:45:41]  Every day.
[00:45:43]  Morons with the PhDs.
[00:45:45]  Yes.
[00:45:45]  100%.
[00:45:47]  I've seen it myself.
[00:45:49]  I've hired people with MBAs that turned out to be absolute morons, and I had to fire them and replace them with people who are more entrepreneurial.
[00:46:00]  But anyway, you've got to run.
[00:46:01]  Why don't you give us your blog website again, one more time, please?
[00:46:05]  SmoothieX12.blogspot.com.
[00:46:10]  And what's the title of your most recent book or a book that you want to mention?
[00:46:14]  America's Final War.
[00:46:16]  Okay, fantastic.
[00:46:17]  Thank you.
[00:46:18]  Andre, it's always an honor speaking with you.
[00:46:20]  Thank you for your analysis.
[00:46:22]  Wishing you well.
[00:46:23]  You too.
[00:46:24]  Thank you.
[00:46:24]  All right.
[00:46:25]  Take care.
[00:46:26]  Yes, the world is getting crazy, but here at the Health Ranger store, we're putting together a survival supply assortment for you.
[00:46:36]  If you go to healthrangerstore.comslash survival, you'll see what we put together for you, including iodine and IOSAT.
[00:46:44]  That's a specific brand name of potassium iodide that's FDA approved.
[00:46:48]  Or we have the nascent iodine here, which is less expensive in terms of the iodine that you get.
[00:46:56]  These are available in case things go nuclear.
[00:46:59]  It's clear that you will not be able to find any of this for sale anywhere.
[00:47:04]  All the inventories will be wiped out, like what happened after Fukushima in 2011.
[00:47:09]  So if you want to get your hands on some iodine, this is a chance to get it right now.
[00:47:13]  HealthRangerStore.comslash survival.
[00:47:16]  In addition, we have many other survival items for you here, including some silver solutions.
[00:47:21]  Some spirulina available in bulk and at a discount, and then a large assortment of storable organic food that's laboratory tested, including our Ranger bucket sets.
[00:47:33]  Here's a 195 day supply.
[00:47:36]  We've got the mini buckets, and we've also got number 10 cans available of freeze dried fruits and vegetables and other things like miso soup powder.
[00:47:45]  Here's some of the buckets.
[00:47:46]  There's a big variety available.
[00:47:48]  Here are some of the number 10 cans right here.
[00:47:51]  Remember, a lot of people are missing fruit.
[00:47:54]  They don't have enough vitamin C in their storable food.
[00:47:57]  So, you know, getting bananas and pineapples and strawberries, especially, again, certified organic freeze dried.
[00:48:04]  That is the highest quality with the highest nutrient preservation that you can get in any kind of a storable food format.
[00:48:11]  All of this is available right now and so much more.
[00:48:15]  Just go to healthrangerstore.comslash survival.
[00:48:19]  And because the freeze dried foods last for so long, you know, even if you don't eat them this year or next year, just keep them on the shelf.
[00:48:26]  They're going to last a very long time.
[00:48:28]  With good preservation, long shelf life, and they will have value no matter what happens in the world.
[00:48:34]  Now, of course, I'm praying for peace.
[00:48:36]  I'm praying for de escalation.
[00:48:38]  I don't want to see World War III break out, and I certainly don't want it to go nuclear.
[00:48:43]  But we're dealing with insane times and insane leaders and insane situations.
[00:48:48]  Who knows what could happen tomorrow or next week?
[00:48:51]  Disruptions could happen here in the United States.
[00:48:53]  There could be domestic attacks that disrupt supply chains here in the US.
[00:48:59]  So, stock up early, stock up now, get your emergency food, emergency medicine, iodine, anything else that you think you might need.
