You're listening to the Liberty News Radio Network, and this is the Political Cesspool.
The Political Cesspool, known across the South and worldwide as the South's foremost populist conservative radio program.
And here to guide you through the murky waters of the Political Cesspool is your host, James Edwards.
We are wrapping up the month of August in grand fashion tonight on TPC.
Not one, not two, but three hours.
Three different guests, three different topics, and all of them absolutely are either on fire or will be.
I don't ever think there's a wasted minute here, but tonight it's just a true variety show.
Coming up still in the third hour, our friend Dr. Roger Devlin, author of Sexual Utopia and Power, going to be back on to, as I mentioned earlier, to talk about a topic that I think is at once fascinating and horrifying, and certainly one worthy of our brightest minds to consider.
And that is how advancing AI technology and its applications, applications you probably have not considered, but we will talk about with Roger tonight, will impact male-female relations and birth rates in the future.
It will be a provocative discussion in the third hour.
Well, really, they all are.
Was Kevin McDonald's not?
Kevin McDonald, again, want to congratulate him on what will be the publication this week of his third edition of The Culture of Critique.
You're hearing about it first tonight, exclusively on TPC, the announcement of this book.
I don't even know, I don't think many people even knew he was working on a third edition, but now you'll be able to purchase it, and you'll be able to purchase it this week at antelopepublishing.com.
We had a hand in that, getting Kevin together with our friends at AHAHP4 to get that book published earlier this year.
It took about nine months, and now it is ready to go.
If you are an established donor to TPC, our third quarter fundraising drive is now underway.
And what you know it, the incentive is an autographed, an autographed copy of this book that you can only get through the radio program.
Now, if you're not an established donor, please get it at antelopepublishing.com.
If you are an established donor, there will be instructions in your snail mail with the letter you'll receive next week about how you can get an exclusive autographed copy of this book by Kevin McDonald.
And this is just something, again, that we do.
This is just another service we provide.
We have a lot of contacts, a lot of folks that we work with, and I love it.
It's just really, really, really a rewarding thing to be able to bring good people together for the greater good of our cause.
And certainly the publication of this book, getting it well done and out there was important.
And anyway, to play a role in that behind the scenes, something I'm very proud of.
Let's move on now to another one of our friends, although our more recent friend, this will be her fifth appearance on the show.
But believe me, when I tell you that I remember the first four quite vividly.
She's only been appearing since November of 2024.
So not even a year ago was her first appearance.
But Christine Lynn is back with us tonight.
She's a geopolitical analyst.
She's a Russian Orthodox Christian here in the United States.
And she's going to be recapping now for us and for the remainder of this hour.
A busy month of activity involving Trump and Putin while also detailing the enormous human cost associated with the Russo-Ukrainian conflict.
Christine, it's great to have you back tonight.
Oh, I'm doing very well.
Great to be with you again.
Well, thank you for your time and for wanting to come on.
We have been exchanging emails now for about a month, and there's been not only a lot of activity, but a lot of shift in what Trump is saying and what the White House is doing with regards to its approach towards Putin and Russia.
I think, you know, we were talking a few weeks ago.
There was a 50-day ultimatum that Trump was eyeing, and whatever happened with that?
Apparently, nothing.
Well, nothing happens.
Trump makes it up as it goes along in regards to relating to Russia or anything else internationally for that matter.
I would say that as a historian and an expert on Russian-American relations, I didn't expect much from the meeting of Putin and Trump in regards to the Ukraine.
In fact, I didn't think anything would come of that.
And of course, apparently, in terms of what is publicly known, it hasn't.
But what I did anticipate and probably did happen is that the Russians had very good intentions.
They would like to normalize relations.
And I can tell you that there are hundreds of companies in the United States that would like to see normalized relations with Russia as well.
So I think they went into it to take a look at what kinds of arms treaties could be done, perhaps some cooperation in the Arctic.
And of course, to me, they came in it with good intentions, straightforward.
And everything that Trump has done since has shown, once again, as I suspect it, that he was disingenuous.
And the reason that I say that is it is no sooner over.
I believe he just used it as a photo op because he is trying to prop himself up with the American people as a peacemaker.
But he's a warmonger.
He is simply continuing what every U.S. president, frankly, has done for decades.
This is now Trump's war, fully Trump's war.
And the reason I say that, James, is because you take a look at just the other day, Trump was in the White House, for example, and some reporter brought up the fact that Sergei Lavrov, foreign ministry of Russia, when he was asked about signing anything who is by constitutional of Ukraine, Zelensky is not the president.
He's not the legitimate leader.
And I said, well, we couldn't sign anything because he isn't the leader.
When that was shared with Trump in the White House, obviously he got very frustrated.
And he, and I quote him or paraphrase his quote, he said, it doesn't matter what they say, referring to the Russians, to Sergei Lavrov.
He said, everybody's posturing.
And then he used his little favorite expletive and said, it's all BS, okay?
Everybody's posturing.
But the fact is, James, the Russians are not posturing.
When Putin met with Trump in Alaska, there's no posturing going on.
They have been straightforward since the beginning of the special military operations, since Istanbul peace talks that were ruined again by the Collective West in 2022.
They have been straightforward on what is necessary.
Remember, the losers, and the losers in this case are Ukraine and is Trump now, but he doesn't want to appear as a loser.
That goes against his monstrous ego.
Instead of just admitting we should just leave this altogether, he wants to pretend that he is a peacemaker.
And the Russians give him the chance to say face, but he never takes it.
And I just find the fact that he would call to the Russians that it's all BS and they're posturing.
The only one that is spreading BS and is posturing is Zelensky and Trump.
Zelensky then meets with Trump after the Putin meeting with Trump, and he says, yes, yes, yes, in the White House, and then he says, no, no, no, immediately thereafter.
I would also say why I believe he is disingenuous.
We just take a look at his ambassador, the United States Ambassador to the United Nations, Matt Whitaker.
And I think this was just yesterday.
I think it was on Fox News.
I heard him say this.
And he said he wanted to reassure the Americans that the United States fully intends to support Ukraine.
And he backed it up by saying that we are now going to allow them capabilities, and I'm paraphrasing, but from my memory watching it, I think about a day ago, that they're going to be providing capabilities for longer-range strikes into Russia.
And he also reassured the Americans that the United States is going to be giving a billion dollars worth of weapons to Ukraine every month through NATO.
And I add to it, there's plenty more.
Trump the other day was bragging, I think he was in the Oval Office, about, hey, the U.S. taxpayers aren't going to be paying for Ukraine now.
You know, it's all going to be paid for through NATO.
Well, the United States is NATO.
And it's Trump's war.
Even Peter Navarro, one of Trump's advisors, came out.
And again, this fake picture they're trying to give Americans.
And he called it Modi of India, Modi's war.
Why?
Because Trump is frustrated.
He cannot tell Putin anything.
He cannot tell Modi anything.
He cannot tell President Xi anything.
And instead of simply humbly saying, we shouldn't be involved in this and end it, he is continuing the tragic loss of deaths, both Russians and Ukrainians, because profit is what matters to him and keeping up the fake image now of NATO and American strength.
He's losing.
He's not man enough to simply admit that this was wrong for the United States to be doing.
And I would add to it, the United States has been doing this for decades.
It was back in the late 1940s, the CIA first began in Ukraine, dropping, I think it was 85 CIA agents into Ukraine.
Ever since then, the CIA, United States, Pentagon, State Department have been involved in Ukraine.
They thought they would use it as a battering ram to weaken Russia, and it is backfired, which reminds me spiritually of that reference, the scripture in the Bible where the evildoers intend it for our, for something evil against us, but God uses it for our good.
And that is exactly what we are seeing with Russia, because they are prevailing.
They are only strengthening.
The sanctions have done absolutely nothing because truly, I believe God is on their side.
And that's not just words.
It is a fact because it is a faith-based nation.
Ladies and gentlemen, Christine Lynn is live on your radio and as always, a live wire as well.
I told Keith Alexander he's at an old missed game tonight.
That's why he's not here.
But I told Keith Alexander, I said, Christine's coming back on the show next week, and I'm going to wear a helmet into the studio.
AmericanOrthodox Christian.com.
I'm going to tell you where I agree and slightly disagree with Christine's take, but then she's going to get into the enormous loss of life alongside Jeff the Maine.

This is a battle, a battle between truth and deceit.
A battle between forces that would enslave this country in darkness and between a media that wants to present you with the truth.
We are being censored.
America's news outlets no longer provide the truth.
90% of news outlets in the United States are controlled by six corporations.
The mission of the Epic Times is to chase the truth, to ground all statements in facts.
TheEpicTimes.com Back with Christine Lynn, AmericanOrthodox Christian.com.
She is, well, at first an American, but also a Russian Orthodox historian.
And you can be that.
We know a lot of people that are Russian Orthodox outside of Russia.
ROCOR is the name of the church.
But she's an American historian, a geopolitical analyst.
She's authored four books, commentator, speaker, former talk radio host on a 50,000-watt station.
For over 30 years, her essays and articles have been published in magazines and newspapers worldwide, and she's appeared as a guest on numerous talk shows both in the U.S. and abroad.
TV podcast, she's here with us tonight for the fifth time since last November.
And we don't always agree, but I am always happy to host her.
But we certainly agree fundamentally on everything, but just in maybe applications.
Well, let's talk about Trump.
I mean, so here's the thing, Christy, my take on that.
Yes, I agree.
If I had to say between Putin and Trump, who is most genuinely and authentically working on behalf of the interests of his nation, I would say Putin.
Now, why is that?
I do think Trump is a civic nationalist.
I think at the very least, he's a guy who's pushing 80, who understands that America was better when he was growing up than it is now, even if he doesn't fully comprehend and can verbalize racial and Jewish dynamics.
I think that he is that.
And I would also say, on issues from everything that we've seen eight months into his second term, whether it be some of the actions he took his first week in office, pardoning all the J6 prisoners, all the way up and through this most recent executive order a few days ago that forbids debanking of political dissidents.
And the only people who have been debanked are people like us.
All of these things are good.
I was talking to Jared Taylor about this recently.
It is true that at one, I believe it's true that at once he can be in the pocket of Netanyahu, but also do good things for us.
It's not one or the other.
It can be a little bit of both.
Now, with regard to Russia, with regard to your signature issues, it's a mixed bag there.
And he's been schizophrenic in the last week.
I can criticize.
I can give credit.
I can do it all.
However, I think on any issue that he's bad, the alternative would have been worse.
And with regards to the Putin meeting in Alaska, it was interesting inso much as I do think that it served Putin's interest to be able to show the world that he can get a meeting with the American president, just like all of these other heads of state.
I do like the fact.
I do like the fact that I like the embarrassment of Zelensky in the Oval Office earlier this year.
I like the fact that he said he couldn't come back unless he wore a suit, things like that.
Comment on that, and then we'll get into the thing that you were truly brought on for tonight.
But I did want to talk about this because we haven't talked about it.
We've been saving it for you.
This thing in Alaska was significant, and we haven't talked about it yet on the radio.
And then we'll get into the human toll.
We've got to carve out time for that, and we're probably a little late getting to it.
Go ahead.
All right.
I'll make a few quick comments because I really do want to talk about the atrocities and all of the suffering that comes as a result of this proxy war of the United States against Russia.
But you made me laugh there.
I think, if I heard you correctly, you said it was good for Putin because it showed he could get an audience with a U.S. president.
That's laughable.
Trump is the one who wanted this.
Trump is the one who wanted it to be on U.S. soil and the way that it looks there.
That was even a stickler point, most likely.
But I think that to normalize relations between the two countries, Putin was willing to do something as frankly just seemed very concerning to even come to U.S. soil, considering the CIA in this country and its long history.
But nevertheless, he did it for the good of Russia.
He didn't do it to prove to the world that he can get an audience with a U.S. president.
That's just nonsense.
Trump is the one who wanted this to happen, just like Trump is the one who presumes that he can tell Putin to meet with Zelensky, like he can presume to give him one day, 50 days, five months, into the year.
Again, making it up as he goes along.
Putin doesn't need Trump whatsoever.
Trump needs Putin in order to save face before the American people instead of simply leaving this altogether and truly leaving it.
Also, in regards to your discussion of the good that Trump is doing, of course he is doing.
He's doing tremendous good domestically, domestically.
But my focus, because I love the Russian Federation.
I love it as a faith-based nation, as a good nation, as a non-imperialistic nation, the way that it is operating now.
And I believe that it is the hope of the world and is serving as an example for people who felt disenfranchised and didn't have power worldwide.
They now see they can challenge the United States and not be a vassal state, aside from the Europeans who have been wiped out, which is exactly what the U.S. wanted to do to Europe economically.
But in terms of what he's doing domestically, of course, James, he's doing an incredible amount that his opposition would never have done.
That makes it better for Americans in our country.
But for me, I do not, I believe it's like a false way of looking at it to evaluate, sure, you can recognize what's good.
Every human being is good and bad in a mix of that.
But the evil that Trump is doing internationally, when we are looking at millions of lives that have now, it's well over a million in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
We are looking at what is happening and what he is supporting fully in Gaza and Lebanon, even what has been allowed to happen in Syria and the U.S.'s part in that.
Human life means nothing to Trump.
Money, profits, and American hegemony, and those are false and those are evil.
So for me, there's no comparison.
Sure, I'm glad for the good he's doing here in my country for our well-being and the illegal immigration.
And there's many things that he's doing good here.
He does see things clearly there.
But the fact is, he is not a man of righteousness or integrity.
Otherwise, human life actually would mean something more than profits to him.
Well, certainly he has to answer to Jews.
Let's put that on the table.
You know that.
He's not operating independently.
He has these interests, and he's being pressured in ways that we really cannot understand.
And that's not a pass, but it is a reality.
And so, therefore, especially with regards to foreign policy, he is, as we have established, a mixed bag in a lot of ways, especially in the Middle East, but also with Russia, because there have been some contradictory statements.
I don't think it's laughable, though, that it didn't serve Putin's interest to go.
If it didn't serve his interests, he wouldn't have gone there.
Maybe it is a mutual interest they could have met.
Well, it's mutual benefit.
I would say mutual benefit, but not for the reason I believe you stated that it improved Putin's image to show he could get a meeting with the U.S. president.
That is what's laughable.
Yes, it will serve Russia's interest if we can normalize relations between our two countries.
That will be mutually beneficial.
Yes, it will be mutually beneficial if we can, you know, do projects like in the Arctic.
And the United States would sure benefit from Russia's technology there, even in space.
And I know that there's also treaties in terms of weapons proliferation that Russia and the U.S. both would like to see.
Those are the things that probably were discussed.
And the Russians are mature enough and wise enough not to go out and discuss what was privately discussed with the media.
The United States, on the other hand, and I have to say the clowns that we have, they just open their mouths and blabber.
All right.
Well, we will agree that I am certainly in favor of Russia's position on this war and its prosecution and for the reasons that go back to its origins and the color revolution and Zelensky being installed and NATO on the borders and for those reasons and so many more.
I'm certainly on Russia's side in this.
I do agree with you that they are perhaps the key to white survival, certainly white Christian survival.
Big on all of that.
And I think that they did want this.
I mean, they certainly didn't want Clinton and they certainly didn't want Biden.
So hopefully they're getting more out of this than they would have otherwise.
But is it everything that you would have wanted or that I would have wanted or that our listeners would have wanted?
Of course not.
All right.
Now.
We're in the United States.
Hey, we have to choose from what we've got, which isn't much in this country.
Sadly.
Well, not when it gets up to that level.
Certainly not when it gets really any level.
I was talking with Kevin Deanna with American Renaissance about Buchanan getting the or being there's this new push for Buchanan to get the presidential medal of freedom.
And we were, of course, that conversation had brought up that the last time that a pro-white candidate got elected to anything, to anything, was David Duke in 1989, 1990.
That an outspoken pro-white, I think Frank, you know, there was another guy, Frank Borzolari, got elected to a school board in New York.
That's about the last two in the last 35 years.
So, no, anyway, but so, well, we're at the, okay, we're at the break, and we've spent too much time on that already.
But give us a preview.
I tell you what, with only two minutes remaining, give us a preview of what we're going to be covering in the last half of this hour, which was really the reason for bringing you back on tonight.
Yes, what I would really like to discuss and why I want to come on with you is to share with the American people the degree of atrocities that the civilians in this completely unnecessary, and again, it's from the U.S.,
this proxy war, and what is happening, white Christians dying, fighting one another, Russians and Ukrainian, and the civilians that have suffered and died, and the ways that they have suffered and died as a direct result of terrorism, of torture.
It's never seen in Western media.
And Western media picks and chooses and actually has even shown fake films from like 10 years ago in some other parts of the world when they're trying to say what is happening in Ukraine.
But what you never see is what is the actual happening to Russian civilians, as well as what is actually happening to Ukrainian civilians as a result of this tragedy.
And that is what I want to discuss because this is, I would have to say that the special bilitary operation that Putin began in February 2022 was absolutely necessary, but we're not going to go back to that history.
You alluded to it well and you summarized it well.
And finally, after eight years, you know, of the suffering, millions of people suffering, and again, these were Ukrainian civilians being persecuted and tortured by the Ukrainian government that was installed by the United States.
Now the same suffering is happening many times more in Russia, as well as what the Ukrainians are suffering.
I want to talk about it.
She's going to talk about it, folks, when we come back.
She's going to focus on the suffering of the Ukrainians and the suffering of the Russians.
She's going to do it separately, but it's all coming up before the end of this hour.
Stay tuned.

A new Congressional Budget Office report indicates that tariffs could reduce the national debt by $4 trillion over the next decade.
A new report released Friday from the Congressional Budget Office states, quote, we project that increases in tariffs implemented during the period from January 6th, 2025 to August 19th, 2025 will decrease primary deficits by $3.3 trillion if the higher tariffs persist for the 2025 to 2035 period.
CBO's director Philip Swaggle wrote, quote, by reducing the need for federal borrowing, those tariff collections will also reduce federal outlays for interest by an additional $0.7 trillion.
As a result, the changes in tariffs will reduce total deficits by $4 trillion altogether.

God tells us in Hebrews 10, 25 that we should gather together to worship him.
This isn't a request.
It is a command.
Going to church isn't an option.
It is your Christian duty.
With the hellish apostasy of mainstream churches, attending church these days can be difficult.

Join us every Sunday at the TemplarChurch.com and especially on the first Sunday of the month for Holy Communion.

Back with Christine Lin right now.
Folks, if you think there's any conflict or friction between Christine and I, you are wrong.
We had a great conversation during the commercial break.
She is feisty.
She is fired up.
Sometimes we disagree, but I understand her.
I appreciate her willing to go to bat for the things she believes in.
And right now, we're going to talk about something that we certainly agree on 100%, and that is the fact that this is not only a brothers' war.
I mean, this is truly the same people.
The Ukrainians, I mean, what was Ukraine a few decades ago?
I mean, this is a very new nation as far as the history of the world is concerned.
And Kiev, now they call it Kiev for some weird reason, but Kiev was sort of the birthplace of the Russian people at large.
And so this is these are the same people.
And the reason for their war, well, that's a topic for another discussion, but you know what's going on there, right, folks?
She is on now, though, to talk about the suffering of both groups, both nations, the Russians and the Ukrainians.
And I was talking to Christine during the break.
You know, it's so hard to even get an accurate number.
The American media, the controlled media, is not reporting on this because America is not officially involved, not boots on the ground anyway, not World War II or Vietnam, where you would, you know, have the on-the-ground correspondence and all of that.
So it's very hard to even get accurate numbers of how many casualties there have been on either side, much less both sides.
But both sides have suffered.
And again, this is white men suffering, white Christian men in a conflict that should not exist.
So Christine, let's talk about the human cost.
We'll talk about the human cost on the Russian side first.
And I know this from our back and forth over the course of the last month in our email exchanges.
A lot of people aren't going to know this.
But this is, well, let's, again, when you talk about human cost on the Russian side, you could talk about the invasion at Kursk, the attack at the city hall, the assassination of poets and writers and POWs and civilian casualties due to warfare and shelling and torture and terrorism of civilians.
Where do you want to start with the price that the Russians have paid?
Did we lose Christine?
I'm here.
I'm here.
All right.
Okay, Christina, on the Russian side.
Yes.
I think I'd like to start.
All of those things are very important, and I would touch upon them all because these are the type of things that the United States, that most of us as Americans, if you turn on your Western media, you are not going to hear about.
You will hear reports and allegations and reports from Ukraine, but you don't hear about what happens to Russian civilians.
And I can tell you that Russian civilians have been targeted from the very beginning.
When we go back in history about how the Ukrainian government, the fake government there that was installed in 2014, has persecuted the Russian speakers within Ukraine that started all of this.
What is the exact same kind of behavior when they did their invasion in, I think it was about a year ago, August of 24.
And what we heard about on our media was as if the brave, and I use that in quote marks, the way they want to present themselves, Ukrainians were making a military invasion into Kursk.
And Kursk is sacred ground.
Any of us who know about World War II and the significance of the Battle of Kursk in which the Soviets made the Germans retreat and it was really the turnaround.
So this is sacred ground.
They entered into Kursk.
And this was not, as it was presented to the United States.
This was not a military invasion by any stretch of that, of what that would mean.
Instead, and I've watched many of the videos, and as a historian, I have to say truth is what's important to me.
And I go to numerous sources, including those on the ground.
And I will say that in Kursk, this was in Russia proper.
The Ukrainians entered and they terrorized the civilians there.
The villages, village after village was not only pillaged, and I actually watched many of the films even live as we're going into some of our very brave crew journalists in this world into the basements of suburban areas.
And what did we find there?
We found civilians, elderly people bound, tortured, shot in the head after being beaten in many of the suburban homes.
This is what the Ukrainians did to them.
I also remember the shooting of the pregnant woman.
It was just, the image just stays in your mind.
When people tried to escape Kursk as the Ukrainians were making their assault, and again, this is in Russia proper.
They would shoot anyone that was escaping.
And of course, Russia was immediately trying to evacuate as many thousands as they could.
The atrocities that were committed in Kursk continue to this day.
And I am only briefly summarizing as they abducted civilians and we are still.
Now Russia is trying to get back elderly women who are being held as prisoners of war.
These are not military, these are not soldiers that were captured.
They hold them as hostages and the torture, the rapes and all of the Russian civilians that were murdered and terrorized in Kursk is one of the worst atrocities that we have ever seen in recent history.
But the Americans hear nothing about that, and I would uh share another um and, and I think that Americans heard something about Crocus City Hall.
That's a.
It was an enormous.
It's a part of Moscow.
It's in a blast in Moscow enormous music venue.
In fact, a lot of Americans have gone there.
It's been a lot of uh it uh seated I think about 6 000 from my memory and in Crocus City Hall there was a music event.
Thousands were in attendance.
Who was in attendance?
Families, because it was for children.
It was a concert for young people, so it was packed with, and what happened, for those who might not be remembering was uh armed men came in there and began slashing the throats and, with their automatic weapons, killing as many men, women and children and there were many children there as they could.
This has been proven that the Ukrainian intelligence agency using cryptocurrency.
We have substantiated evidence that there was a significant money sent from Ukraine, as well as the men who were Islamist.
Okay, but they're used as proxies worldwide by Ukraine.
United States, Uk that's nothing new.
But their connectors and who they were communicating with, and the embassy actually that used the social media to communicate with them, is straight from Ukraine.
Everything has been traced, even on their own telephones, back to Ukraine, to which they were escaping.
This was just complete terrorism of Russian civilians in a Moscow Oblast.
This type of thing is not.
These are the big ones, but these are not unusual.
The assassinations that have been occurring in Russia.
I think of Dariana Dugina.
She's a was a beautiful writer and blogger and just a beautiful young lady assassinated by the Ukrainians with a car bomb and her father watched her be murdered like that.
But she's not the only one.
We have other writers bloggers, and it's I.
I think it was Butanov, Ukrainian military officer, but actually made a video in which he bragged about.
Oh, you might know these names, but there's quite a few Russian civilians that we have assassinated.
Again, terrorism on Russian civilians I, I.
I think of one night James, I was uh staying up late and I usually watch much live.
I read many newspapers, both Ukrainian as well as Russian, as well as worldwide.
I also uh listen to a lot of people on the ground through telegram etc.
And I remember the night when the Ukrainians blew up a a bridge so that it would fall right on top.
This was recently.
It was horrible.
You could hear the screaming of the babies and the children.
They actually blew up in Russia, again Russia proper.
They blew up the bridge so it would fall on the train passing filled with families returning from summer vacation.
And we don't get this on our news.
And I would also add that almost daily now, civilians are being shelled, targeted with drones as well as missiles in Russia proper.
And we are not talking about something going astray.
We are not talking about air defense hitting something and debris falling.
What we are talking about is direct targeting of civilians in their apartments, in their grocery stores at the busiest time of the day.
And right now, the drone attacks on Russian civilians, you can watch the drones go straight into people's apartments.
And of course, most of these, the Russian air defense is able to stop, but not all of them, especially when they send hundreds of them every night, which has been happening at least every other day, if not almost every day now for months.
So, you know, when I take a look at it, Americans are grossly negligent because the media and the government want you not to know that the civilians of Russia are suffering.
And this just, it's very, it's sadistic, too.
Our POWs, when we receive our prisoners of war back, and I would say even the United Nations has even agreed, which is saying a lot because their human rights section is not necessarily that objective, but had to admit with the films of them murdering Russian soldiers that were captured, lying on the ground, shooting them in their legs and then shooting them in their heads, many of them lined up on the ground.
And the thing is, there is systematic torture of Russian prisoners, deliberate and widespread.
We're not talking about what happens in war.
There's always individual cases, sadly, from the human heart, and anyone can commit evil.
But this is systematic torture.
And I often watch the prisoner exchanges, and I have to say, looking at the faces of the Russian soldiers returning is very different than looking at the faces of the Ukrainians who are being returned, who are fed, and who look far more stronger than the forlorn looks on what has happened.
There's sexualized violence, there's electrocution, all of the type of torture that you and I are fully aware of is something that the Ukrainians routinely do against prisoners of war.
Like I said, the civilians, it's almost daily now, but nothing, nothing on our news talks about what is happening in Russia.
You see none of this, anything that you've reported right now, none of it.
You really have to dig to find it.
It's certainly not put out on the nightly news at free will.
This is something that you have to have an interest in and go out and find it.
But you are also concerned about the suffering of the Ukrainians because you have to differentiate between young Ukrainian men who believe they're serving their country and their national interest and are going out and are also being fed to the grinder of Jewish interests and of NATO interest.
And yes, the United States is a part of that.
A big part of that.
Could be worse.
Could be much better.
But let's talk about the suffering of the Ukrainians because this is also something that you're keen to.
Yes, the actual suffering of the Ukrainians, not what we see on our American news.
And I will go to something that you just talked about and how you began this segment with me.
It is very difficult to get into numbers of war, as you and I know.
But I would say that conservatively speaking, based on my research, I would say that there's probably been at least a million Ukrainians who have died fighting in this unnecessary war.
A million.
Which is very sad.
Yeah.
Now, in terms of Russian deaths, in terms of the Russian soldiers, best estimates from some very good analysts that I do trust, and most of them I don't, but after many years, the ones that I do trust would say that the loss of life in regards to the Russians, the Ukrainians are losing anywhere from five to eight times more.
And there's various ways that this has been looked at, seen some that are amazing.
It feels the accuracy that Ukrainians are losing five to eight times more of their soldiers than Russians.
So, you know, you can do the math.
Every one of these people, almost every single one of these people on either side is going to be a white man, a young white man, young white, who had a future, who had, as Harry Cooper says, when we're talking about World War II, all of these people think they're fighting for the right side.
They go to the same churches.
They want to return home to their parents and to their sweethearts.
And so whether it's a Russian or Ukrainian on this level, not necessarily on the political level or on what side is right and what side is wrong, just on a basic human level.
And again, that's why the primary reason you're on this hour, on a foundational human level, it is a terrible, terrible waste of young white life.
Now, let me tell you about the mobilization in Ukraine.
Oh, absolutely.
Let me tell you about the mobilization.
When you talk about the Ukrainians serving, well, I can tell you right now, vast majority, they've had it very difficult to be able to get anyone to go to the front lines because everyone knows that you're probably not going to even make it through one day once you are sent to the front lines.
It's a matter of hours before they are dead.
That is what is happening right now.
We know that approximately, I think it's about 650,000 Ukrainian men have fled the country since this began in order to get it.
There's been a lot of bribing going on to get out of there because right now the Ukrainians are so desperate.
They are using amputees, those who've already suffered amputations.
We are finding even when soldiers are taken that they're, quote, recruiting the mentally impaired.
They are recruiting to death who are.
Pardon this interruption, but you'd almost have to be mentally impaired because how do you prosecute a war like this in this day and age?
This isn't World War II where you can hide a tank underneath tree branches and hide men.
Everybody sees everything now.
You see everything with heat signatures from drones and from satellite.
I mean, everybody knows where everybody is.
You can just drop ordnance on people in the middle of the night.
Well, no, what I'm referring to is that by conscription, they are taking those younger and younger, as well as the elderly.
And when I said mentally impaired, I'm talking about like the mentally retarded are being sent to the front lines.
Amputees are being, yeah, that's what I'm saying.
It's because they have a collapsing front.
So we have tens of thousands of Ukrainians being mobilized, sent to the front lines.
Some are beaten and shot before they ever get there because they resist or their mothers or their wives try to stop them.
They literally drive vans around through the streets.
Any male that they see, they grab.
People try to actually, I've seen so many of the films, throw things at them, throw vegetables.
I mean, it's so sad to see Ukrainians trying to save their loved ones because they know that once that mobilization van takes them, they're probably never going to see their loved ones again.
This is an aside to the human cost, which we're talking about tonight, but it's on my mind, so I'd like to ask you, and, you know, how much of this could have been avoided and what would have been the drawbacks, in your opinion, had Putin more aggressively litigated this war.
This is something that Paul Crack Roberts, my friend and the former Secretary of the United States Treasury under Reagan, he's made several appearances on this show, but he has consistently written, and he, like us, believes that Russia is on the side of the angels in this conflict, but he has consistently written that Putin should have been much more aggressive and taken out Ukraine far more quickly to avoid this cost that we're talking about.
What would have been the pros and cons of that approach, in your opinion, Christine?
Right.
Well, I know that Vladimir Putin has actually talked about even before it began.
A couple times I've seen him speaking in interviews that the only regret he has is that Russia did not do this sooner because it did allow NATO countries to fully arm Ukraine as it did.
Once it did begin, it's a special military operation, and we designate that in Russia from a war because in a war it would have been as you are describing.
Remember, they were already at Kiev and then the Russians retreated because we thought that there was going to be a peace.
But if he had done it more, at that point, if he had not stopped, but he did it as a goodwill gesture.
Thereafter, after we see once again the Russians are being lied to, as they have been throughout history in these type of conflicts, had he done it more aggressively, what we're talking about is from a Western point of view.
I believe that strategically, and I know that the Russian intelligence knows far more than any of us do in our opinion and analysis, they are showing the world NATO's weakness.
They are showing the world the American weakness.
And they are gaining respect worldwide because they do not do the things that they are accused of, frankly, like do an all-out assault, which would mean the death and destruction in places like Kiev.
They do not target civilians or in areas that are heavily civil.
And of course, the Ukrainians, I will have to say, frequently use their people as human shields.
It is done all the time.
Some of the most recent factories that were destroyed were placed right in the middle of suburbs.
But the time has come that the Russians do have to advance.
Could they have done this more and before?
Yeah, I think there's been several times over the last few years that I think, oh, this is going to be it, or this is going to be it.
But I think that the slow progress is actually having quite an effect in regards to the collective West as well and their complete failure to weaken Russia.
I can remember, since you're talking about this, and this is just in conversation, this was triggered.
I remember, you know, Charles Balzman.
And I had Charles on, this would have been March of 22, okay?
And so this is when they were on the outskirts of Kiev, if I'm not getting my dates misplaced.
March of 22, he was on the air with us live, and he said, you know, this thing's going to be over in a matter of weeks.
And of course, it didn't go that way.
And that's not because Charles isn't an expert.
Not everybody can predict how wars are going to go.
But the thing is, I mean, in the position is that Putin didn't want to destroy Ukraine and the Ukrainian people the way that the British and the Americans wanted to destroy Germany and destroy Dresden.
Well, you know, and the Russians got into the US.
Hey, listen, the Russians got into that too.
Now let's not give them any, they did, but.
But nevertheless, we talked about that with Marshall.
Well, actually, we will.
Hey, hey, hey, we will.
We will.
We will.
But, no, you are exactly right.
Russians do not behave like Americans and British.
Their goal is not to terrorize and consider collateral loss is acceptable to an enormous degree of civilians.
And they could have done that.
They retreated from Kiev as a part of goodwill.
And what came of it?
False accusations about Bucha, which we hardly have time to discuss.
But that was a direct result when, as the goodwill gesture, the troops pulled back from Kiev.
They could have taken it.
They could have done all of that at that point.
Ukrainians were not right there.
But because of that, and then when we left, when the Russians left Bucha, that's exactly the reason they left it.
And then all of the lies.
And I know we hardly have time to get it, but I'm sure that name sticks with your listeners because what you saw on American was as if Russians had committed atrocities in this city.
And the truth of the matter is there were numerous Ukrainians, including the mayor, and many videos that we saw at the time of them coming through Bucha.
There were no bodies.
Give it two or three days.
There were a few bodies.
But about five days, there were many bodies.
Fake.
Once again, false.
One minute, one minute, Christine.
And listen, I always enjoy talking to you.
It's always thought-provoking.
And I'm going to set you up to fail just like Charles, just like anyone who's asked to predict the future.
But this is something that there have been millions of casualties, okay, on both sides.
If you had both sides, casualties mean not just dead, but also wounded.
Millions of casualties so far.
This cannot go on forever.
This cannot go on forever.
In your opinion, and feel free to be wrong, but how will this end and when will it end?
It has to end at some point.
Somebody's going to have to walk away from this.
Okay.
I feel that it will end.
And if you want a time frame, we'll do that before we close this out.
I feel that it will end with Russia achieving every one of the goals, the demilitarization of Ukraine, get rid of that evil government, and a buffer zone to protect Russia from these attacks upon civilians.
And of course, the lands, the four lands that have ascended into Russia and Crimea, there is absolutely no doubt that that remains with Russia.
The losers do not get to set the terms, and Russia will prevail.
In terms of timing, if you're curious as to what I think, frankly, I would not be surprised if, let's say, by February of next year or even by the end of this year, that this may actually come to a conclusion because the Russians are advancing across the front line, almost practically the entire front line.
They are advancing.
We only have a very small part of the DPR that yet needs to be liberated.
And when I say liberate it, the people greet the Russians.
They are so relieved when the Russians liberate these villages.
That I can tell you.
I don't doubt it.
I mean, there's a lot about that history of Germany advancing to parts of Poland and elsewhere in Austria where they receive the same thing.
A different discussion, but somewhat similar because it runs contrary to what we have been programmed to believe.
Well, Christine, I've enjoyed the talk tonight.
I hope that this thing ends sooner rather than later because we want that bloodshed.
We want the loss of white Christian lives to end on both sides because these are the same people.
You can call yourself Ukrainian.
You're a Russian.
I mean, really, you are.
In the South, we're still Americans, maybe of a different kind, but we understand that.
Yes, we're all Europeans.
Above all, we're all Europeans.
Whether you live in Seattle, Washington, or Vladivostok, you are a European.
