Speaker 1 (00:08):
You and hello, dear friends, guests and subscribers to our channel.
Thank you for tracking our streams. This is our joint
stream with alex Airstowage and it's streamed on both alexis
channel and my channel. Good evening, Alexi, Good evening, Alexander.
Thank you friends for sticking with us, not forgetting our

(00:30):
efforts here, our meetings and the way we reflect on
what is happening in the world. It is important, of
course that if you can, please share the information, share
the link to that stream. If our streams are limited
in your country, just change the country and YouTube see
if that helps, or use the VPM. A couple words

(00:50):
about the format of our today, very traditional. You can
see two QR codes, one underneath my side of the
screen on the left. One is on the lexis. You
can use the barcodes to ask questions that will be
answered in our next streams, or you can go to
live chat and try your chance there. If we get

(01:10):
to your question, we can answer it. Usually we address
though the ones that are being asked in advance, and
there are a couple channels. Under Alexi. There is another
barcode that leads to his school, So if you want
to take some classes or donate to Alexis school. You
can use that barcode. Your support is important for us,

(01:34):
especially in these dark times, and thank you for sticking
with us. And again I'm seeing some questions here in
the chat, the probability of war between Germany and Poland. Guys,
let's leave these questions for the end of the stream.
Let's concentrate on the today's poll that we start the

(01:54):
stream with. When will Ukrainians become enlightened of that situation
they're in and sower number one when Zedanski is no
longer in power and so number two same time as
Russians do answer number three when the front collapses and
version four they already understand everything, but they cannot affect

(02:18):
the situation or don't believe they can. Alex say, how
would you vote? Well, First of all, Alexander allD. Ukrainians
are different, many of them fall under different categories, but
joint answer for all of them would be people see
when they want to see, there is enough information in

(02:40):
the world. When, for example, the Germans in nineteen forty five,
when they were shown those concentration camps and what they
have done as a part of Holocaust, Many of them
were saying, oh, we did not know. There was no information.
Information was concealed to a degree, but it was enough
for those who wanted to understand, wanted to know. And

(03:01):
in our times when almost nothing is really concealed and
there is a ton of information, if anything, there is
abundance of it, it is it doesn't work to say
I did not know. You'd have to say I really
did not want to know. I closed my eyes and
didn't even peep. So when the time comes for repentance,

(03:24):
not picking the words here, you will not be able
to crawl away saying I did not know. And it
is very visible now in the discussion with that battle
medic who was conscribed again by Drafting Commission and how
people split into two different camps. A horrible story some

(03:47):
doctor who was fighting since twenty fifteen was captured on
the street. I was beaten up, thrown in the jail,
and that story was not even surfacing for a while
because respectable people are ask him to please not talk
much about it. And you got a bunch of kernels
about a bunch of media heads, a lot of volunteers

(04:10):
and activists and citizens, and the discussion splits in these categories.
One category says, well, you know, things happen. This is
just one access, so you shouldn't be drawing a trend
out of it. So their basic position is, yes, sometimes

(04:30):
we make our wrong decisions. System makes mistakes, but let's
not describe this system with these mistakes. If I was
teaching thinking the art of thinking on my courses, I
should probably be better offering myself because people tend to
lie a lot to themselves, and this position they are

(04:51):
taking is full of lives because if there is one
case like this in the system, it implies that the
system is set up in a fashion to allow for
this case to happen, even if you have one, even
if there was just one case during the entire campaign,
there was one case with the Drafting Commission, that would

(05:15):
imply that the system allows these incidents to happen. And
this is not just one, not even one hundred of them.
There are thousands of them. This is a regular practice.
This is an organic part of a system, and the
system works in a certain fashion matching its nature. This
is the way it works, This is the way it is.
And this isn't sentencing in my view, to this project

(05:38):
and this government that runs this project in Ukraine, and
a bunch of people, as the situation showed, having abundance
of information, still refuse to acknowledge that out loud, and
I won't tell you to answer the question when will
the war be over? The most commonly asked question. I
was changing planes in Stambul and I had about fifteen
Russians approached me, in about ten Ukrainians, each of them

(06:01):
coming with their own questions, but most of them have
the same question underneath it, When will the war be over?
My answer to all of them is when everybody stops
lying to themselves. What is integrity? Integrity is when internal
matches external, there is no gap. I speak what I

(06:22):
think and I defend what I believe in. When people
start to deviate, when people start to explain that this
is for the better good and understand this is not
a good system, but alternative is much worse. And we
understand that our collective drafting Commission is not the best,

(06:45):
but it's ours and we have to deal with it.
I always want to ask the question of these people,
what are we fighting for? What are you fighting for?
Ask yourself, not how many cases we have like this,
but what are we fighting? Before imagine we stopped the
war and we somehow restored the borders of nineteen ninety one.
Russia is destroyed, All Russian soldiers are killed, their things

(07:07):
are destroyed. We are standing in our country. What country
are we building? Now? What does this country exist for?
What is the idea for Ukraine? What inspires it? And
there are a lot of answers, and the best of
them sound like this, so that Russians would not come here. Well,

(07:29):
if your kidneys are getting beaten in the Drafting Commission
jail equally with a niqual force, as Russians would have
beaten you up, What are we exactly fighting for? And
seldom few find an answer to that? And you can
talk about the success of Spider Net one, spider Net two,
Return of a Spider nut more spiders Spider strikes back.

(07:53):
The soul has no meaning if there is no main answer,
what exactly are we doing all that? For? As I
teach in my courses, there are four questions that you
can summarize the spiritual topic with, and war is usually
about spirit Question number one, who am I or who

(08:14):
we are? Second? Where we are? What is the world
around us? Third? In what relations are we with each
other and question number four, why is it all that
Ukrainians have no answers to this? There are often similar
croms that they present as answers, and most of them,
by the fourth year of this war, they're in the negative,

(08:35):
their negative argument saying that we're not Russians, we are
here to not let them come in. Okay, so they
do not come here? Why are you on this land?
You had thirty years to answer this question? Did you
manage to find an answer? German classic philosophy existed of

(08:57):
only thirty five years, and I hear that we did
not have enough time. I remind you that, for example,
the United States of Holland, they were fighting with the
Holy Roman Empire basically Spanish Empire at that time. They
were fighting with them for seventy four years. The Dutch
were fighting at the same time the ocean that was

(09:19):
encroaching on their shores, very difficult engineering task that they
had to spend a lot of time waste deep in
the cold ocean waters figuring out the ways to stop
them from encroaching on their farms. And the ratio of
Dutch forces Spanish forces would be as if Moldova would

(09:40):
be fighting with China or United States these days. So
the dutch Men managed to win this war. They create
over six million paintings in that time that are of
value in any museum these days. They create a culture,
that create philosophy, They create unique articles of the international law,
they create Protestant ideology, and they leave significant trace in

(10:05):
theology with their thinking. And this is the little empire
fighting against the huge one and also against the ocean.
So I have a question to pose to Ukrainians, where
are yours six and a half million paintings? They had
Protestant idea. You can argue with that right in the Ukraine,
But what idea do you have when the war continues?

(10:27):
Not because the damn Russia is pressing for four years,
Russia is not pressing at one hundred percent of Spain
attack on the Dutch Empire. And yet still Ukraine fails
to birth anything because there is no system, structural idea
behind Ukraine. We can talk about details on the front

(10:49):
where we are successful, how we are destroying some of
the Russian equipment, but it all doesn't matter compared to
real questions. Well, I'll like say, perhaps the meaning of
our meetings here with you lies exactly in that field,
that Ukraine is lacking the idea generators. They're either expunged

(11:09):
from the country, expelled, or they're staying mom or serving
the current regime, or they're put in conditions when they're
just slowly thinking to suggest something when the war is over.
While the nerve of this war and I want to

(11:32):
connect it here. You probably knew that I'd be asking
these questions. You saw that there were a lot of
questions from our viewers, and that this topic is on
the radar of many people. That six thousand bodies that Russia,
of Ukraine fighters, that Russia wants to transfer to Ukraine,
of people who gave their lives for the country, and

(11:53):
only administrative dancing on these bones. Let's go in stages.
Let's reassess our agreement. I think a piece of the puzzle.
Isn't that big idea? What are we fighting for? And
this idea still fails to materialize, And the last couple

(12:14):
of days, I think we're starting to see some breaking
point when people are basically starting to think even those
who were for expelling the intellectuals from the country, even
the average Joe in Ukraine starts to think about, Okay,
why are we not picking the bodies of our deceased soldiers.

(12:38):
What's happening with this? And then Zelenski comes out and
says that we only verified fifteen percent, and some talking
heads start to say that, well, Russians are transferring their
own bodies of their own soldiers, what are we fighting
them for? Well, okay, Alexander, if indeed they're giving you

(12:58):
Russian soldiers, that's a perfect situation for you. You take
these bodies, you identify them as Russian fighters, and you
bring it up to the media showing that hey, see
what you're doing. And then the Krumlin and Crumlin propaganda
sits down in a huge puddle and gets mired with
their own dirt. Then that means you guys are getting
good cards, because he keep screaming that we need to

(13:19):
keep fighting Russian propaganda day and night. Listen, the war
started to ask very sharp questions. This is what's happening now,
But people do not understand now the process is organized
in a fashion perhaps nudged by Russians. The questions that
need to be answered. And this is not a distoration
bymeister tossing philosophic matters around real questions in Ukraine. Twenty

(13:44):
seven year old guy in Ukraine taken off the bicycle.
His phone was taken away when he was on a
bicycle ride with his girlfriend. He did not have water, food,
He was thrown in a drafting jail, and he did
not have a chance to even call her his relatives
and his girlfriend to let her know where he is
and what's happening. And he doesn't even need to watch

(14:07):
our philosophic discussions here. He needs to answer the question why,
despite of all this violence against him, he still needs
to take a machine gun and go fight for Ukraine,
kill and die for Ukraine. And then another question. Parents
of a soldier Russian started publishing the names of those
six thousand. So they look at the list and they

(14:27):
pick somebody I don't know, number fifty seven. Apologize in
advance for somebody who is really under this number. Let's
spare their feelings. Let's just say sub number in the
first hundred. His parents are looking at the list. Oh,
this is our guy. He disappeared, was missing an action.
We were hoping he was maybe in prison on the
other side. But they are now returning his body, and

(14:51):
our government refuses to take it. And they don't need
to now listen and look for philosophic answers. They need
to find an answer in their mind and their soul.
Why and how do they have to keep allegiance to
the state that refuses to accept the body of their
dead son. And that question will rise its head again

(15:14):
when I hope the body comes back to Ukraine and
they'll be putting this coffin into the ground. Everybody who
knows who thought, knows the smell of that ground, of
the soil, or the freshly dug whole. And when people

(15:34):
do not know how to answer this question, that is
a big crash. When people know how to answer this question,
look back at the Second World War when Soviet Union
people were sacrificing everything they had in their lives. When
there is no answer to this question, people will not
even strike a match to save the regime. There is

(15:54):
a huge enforcement apparatus, ninety thousand criminal cases in Ukraine
only in this year. We're not even halfier in ninety thousand. So,
in basic words, if the army is one million people,
about three hundred of them three hundred thousand of them,

(16:15):
every third are missing. They have left their location and
they're nowhere to be found, and every fifth has not left,
but he is ineligible to be sent to the front
line due to health reasons. So they at best can cook,

(16:36):
perhaps provide some logistics services, but they cannot fight. So
we're looking at a picture where almost half of people
refuse to fulfill their military obligations. Huge number, scary number.
Where is a serious societal discussion about it. Meantime, societal
discussion is only pushing more hatred towards certain figures, and

(17:00):
the leadership is pressing the same pedal o resentiment. I'm
just curious as to when the government will get tired
of it or wherein people will get tired of it,
because everything goes down to those dam Russians and Instagram
and Facebook. They've dumped another ballistic missile volley on us.
Here are some dead children, and then the next round

(17:21):
of media shows, hey, we're destroying some of the equipment,
and look, America, Luke Trump, We're still standing despite your
attitude to us. And I'm just curious one will descend
because it looks like that rat in the experiment where
there are two electrodes in its mind, and one electrode

(17:43):
is starting the hatred center. Another electrode starting the Dopamin Center,
the Joy Center. And I'm just curious as a question,
is it not intellectually boring for you guys to still
get stuck in this pool because the main rhetoric still

(18:07):
pushes the main idea that Russians attacked us, so we
can do whatever, everything is allowed. This is the horrible
idea that removes responsibility from Ukraine and that prohibits any
reflection on our behavior, regardless of who attacked you. What
are they trying to do with you? What do I want?

(18:27):
What is my position? Where is my authorship in this situation?
How did I end up in this circumstance Because that
suggestion that Russians attacked you don't need to analyze anything.
You're right and they're wrong. This turns off your mind,
This turns off your head. Everything is predetermined. This is

(18:49):
the framework. You don't need to think, You don't need
to consider your behavior. You do not need to think
about the future of your motherland. You just need to
shout high and whatever leader put the name there. And
then there is a personal responsibility slowly creeping into the

(19:09):
picture because people used to push this responsibility onto the leadership,
but there is some personal responsibility. The intelligencia of Ukraine,
very often they were given a certain critical power in

(19:31):
the country. You could still be loyal to the country,
but if you're a part of the intelligence, you need
to still be somewhat critical of power. And the proper
intellectual class always knew that if you start to march
to the tune of the government, your philosophic gland starts
to shrink. You stop thinking. You're just walking in the

(19:53):
same formation because you don't need to to support the
signal of the central broadcasting tower. You don't need brain
mind intelligence for that. You just need to shout high,
louder than the others. And you can see some of
the so called intellectuals of this anti project propagated by

(20:19):
current Zdanski's regime. They're pushing the same primitive signal. Russians
are scum, they're killing us or hitting them back, and
the cycle repeats. There is no attempt to post a
serious question. And when life and war starts to really

(20:40):
get you tired from all this repetition, people start to
ask these questions. The medic got beaten up. He asked
a question, what am I fighting for? The guy got
beaten up on the bike. He's asking the question, am
I supposed to fight for this country? The parents of
deceased soldiers whose bodies are not returned are asking these questions,
and these questions they are starting to condensate, to concentrate

(21:02):
in the air out of nothing, and it will be
facing people during the shelling at night, during Russian missiles
falling on their heads. What is that for? Not whether
Russians reach the border of Nipropetrov's region, but what is
all for? What are we fighting for? And I will

(21:23):
tires tirelessly continue bringing our streams to the same question,
because this is the only way to reach the minds
of our people, so that some of the candles would
reignite their fire that it is almost gone. Even if
we awaken several people, this is well worth it because motivation,

(21:50):
ability to stop this war, ability to produce, capability to
manufacture things effectively organize your army, all that is dependent
on answering this center point question. We cannot organize an
army of the country that is trying to fall apart.

(22:10):
You know other kid's toy. There's a stick with a
bunch of rings that you put, you know, different colors
on the stick. We have a ton of these colored rings.
We don't have a stick, We don't have a center
stick to put the rings on. Tell me what unites
the citizen of Odessa and somebody who is an ardent

(22:33):
supporter of anti project who is screaming Bandera. What idea
connects the person living in sum with an expat from
Crimea who was forced to flee Crimea and Russia occupied
it and is now trying to make his new living
and live or in Poland. Different symbolism, different ethical capital,

(22:56):
different views on life, different understanding of this world? What
unites them all? Okay? Afraid of Russians and gadetrave troops
and the like. Okay, but if our authorities start to
behave like Russian troops, then what many people will say

(23:18):
that this is a justification for treason of motherhood? Okay, Alexander,
let's ask this question. Who is a traitor to the
country when we are talking about how to make our
life better in our motherhood, our retreason us when we

(23:38):
are telling our motherhood that it lost itself and in
order to find the way you need to make these steps,
is that treason? In my view, the real treason is
supporting your country and its mistakes, while face slapping this
motherland where makes a mistake, and criticizing it harshly for

(23:59):
these mistake and making it look at the reasons and
the errors of its ways. I think this is your
love for the country. I donated thirty million crivedness of
my personal funds to armed forces of your grain. I
took this money from my children and gave the money

(24:19):
to our soldiers. Now this government blocked all my accounts,
blocked all my cards, and soldiers are sending me messages
asking to please help them with something I cannot. My
motherland took away my ability to support my soldiers. Would
this motherland want a couple face slaps, three slaps for

(24:46):
these errors, alex say, who can make the motherland change
its mind, change its ways? Nobody, Alexander. Humanity learns only
in two ways, either by very hard and diligent work
over oneself or via crisis in catastrophe. And nobody's working
on themselves here. So we're probably looking at the crisis

(25:09):
and catastrophes. And since the questions we're trying to solve
are existential and fundamental, that means that crisis will be
fundamental and existential, and since we're not exactly at this point,
the crisis will be much much deeper because if the
currentry gym wins, that means that everything they've done was okay.

(25:31):
They could have been extorting money from businesses, it's okay
to beat people up, it's okay to enforce all these
rules with stick, and the ruling class walks guilt free.
Then excuse me, why do we need such a country
if all that is acceptable. That's why the flow of

(25:51):
future events needs to show us that this is unacceptable
and all these people who were part of that system
need to fill it on their skin that they were
making mistakes. This is the crisis that's going to eventually
happen that we'll be looking at. We are trying the

(26:15):
patience of the god in the skies and people on
the earth. All those people who are part of this
evil doings in Ukraine need to feel it on their
own skin, otherwise the lesson will not be learned. Let's
say Midnski, Russian minister came out today and said he
was sharing his new impressions of Stamboul negotiations, and he's

(26:38):
saying that I'm looking in the eyes of our delegations there,
he's seeing Russian delegations and he's seeing Ukrainian with the
same faces, same uniforms, and he reads in the Ukrainian
eyes not just tiredness of war, but just reluctance to
continue fighting. He sees it that Ukrainian soldiers, officers, officers

(27:02):
do not want to send their soldiers to fight and die.
They're tired of doing it. And I'm paraphrasing what he's saying,
but he basically says that the task of an officer
is to essentially try to preserve the lives of his
subordinates while achieving the goals. Understandably, Midinski can weave his speeches,

(27:24):
and some people are attacking him for a certain verbal operation,
right verbal propaganda, and some people are starting to understand
that there is some other aspects of this front showing up,
with Russia offering exchange of that Ukrainian bodies and the

(27:46):
Russia expressing pt to Ukrainian delegation saying that Ukrainian delegation
would have ended everything if they could, so Russians are
playing this game now. However, situation the armed forces of
Ukraine is more and more reminiscent of a two contour,

(28:06):
bucket or heating system. One contour is providing hot water,
another contour providing heat. And this is essentially what we're
facing in the army in Ukraine. We have one part
of the army that we throw to die in the groves,
and then we have another side of the army well

(28:27):
dressed with beautiful American equipment or European equipment for being
told stories about how strong and powerful and capable are they.
And then the other side of army, yes, still faces
stupid orders, idiotic commanders, taking bribes, leaving their disposition. How

(28:48):
all that fits in one officer's head or in that
one couple of eyes who was sitting and looking at
mid in skins tambul listen, Alexander. Our media tries to
present our soldiers, our generals, as heroes, but majority of
them are rather cowardly. When you talk about the generals,

(29:12):
you do not understand the system they're in. They have
bosses above them, they have counter intel next to them.
They're part of a system that just grinds, that doesn't
ask too many questions, and they perform certain part of
work that is just split among many generals and officers.
You plan the fight you execute it, you send the orders.

(29:34):
They just have nowhere to go. They're just part of
that routine. There are very few officers who example pure
officer kind of heroism because it's very specific. It's not
running in the trenches shooting the enemies. It's a different story.
Officers heroism is to train a jaguar who will be

(29:55):
standing still on your order, and who will be attacking
your enemy on your order. Company commander should have over
one hundred jaguars under his command, the ones that who
are eager to try to bite you back, who are
always powerful and upset about something, and you need to

(30:15):
make sure you have control of them. Our Ukrainian general
has completely lost this war to the office of the president,
to those comedy club stand up characters. And one should
ask a question, how did military generals, starting with soolutiony,
how did they completely lose to the politicians, and to

(30:36):
that caliber of politicians that we have now they're not
exactly great. How come that our generals who resist, who
fight with Russia for over ten years already, they enter
a president's office with their pants down as forward and
they're failing to take a stand and explain to politicians

(30:58):
that they're not going to full feel the tasks of
keeping the frontline, because doing so we abandon our main
advantage of unpredictability. Russians can predict. They know that they
will try to hold a position, will try to hold
the frontline, and if they take it, we'll try to
take it back. Over a half of deceased on this

(31:19):
front have died because of this idiotic order, the idiotic
political order. General should have gathered as a big group
and confront the office of the President saying that we're
not going to fight the war like that. We have
other ways to do that. It's not a military coup.
We just offer you different ways of fighting, more effective
ways of fighting. In Germany there is Academy of Armed

(31:43):
Forces and they have a verdict of one of the
courts of the Seven Year War, the times of Frederic
the Great, when he made a superpower out of and
he was still the last big achievement of Germany and

(32:05):
Europe who beaten France created the pro prototype of the
future empire. It was a genius commander who fought for
seven years. And there was a case when one major
of the artillery who was given an order to stand
on the hill and shoot his artillery in a certain

(32:25):
target area. Several times, different messengers were coming to him
during the battle, from not the king, from other generals,
and we're telling him that the battle changed and he
needed to attack different targets. He refused to fulfill those orders,
saying that the king gave him a different order. So
he is being court martialed after this war, and his

(32:47):
speech he's saying that he was fulfilling the order of
the king and his commander in one person, to which
military prosecutor or judge answered that and this is the
one that they had grieved. His Majesty gave you the
rank of major so that he would be able to
make a decision which orders of his to execute and

(33:08):
which ones to not. This is the officer's bravery. Where
is that we do not? I argue that we do
not have it? Well lost it In Ukraine. Out of
eighteen Ukrainian philosophers who could have been birth giving birth

(33:30):
to new thought, fifteen of them are expunged or expelled
from the country or from their jobs. Andre Bomester was
pushed out of his faculty, the author of the several
winning works, who is the author of the Ukrainian Philosophy dictionary.
He was pushed out because of the anonymous letter that

(33:52):
he is promoting some Russian narratives. This is the person
who developed Ukrainian philosophy. Because of this person, in Moscow
Philosophic faculty, they created a special circle to study Ukrainian
language to read his works in the original Russian philosophers
from Moscow University and his book was pirated published in Moscow,

(34:17):
and that was the reason for that anonymous message about him.
So the person who organized this attack on Baumeister and
pushed him out of the country, he started to lead
this faculty and three months later he's being caught on
plagiarism that he is defending his doctorate work on the
candidate's work of some Moscow philosophic faculty. And why was

(34:45):
he caught doing it? Why did he decide to use
it Because after a prohibition of using Russian sources, our
system stopped looking and comparing the works being defended to
Russian sources, and he thought he a free He's free
to do that until he was caught. And this is
how our system works. Our troubles are from immorality or

(35:09):
from double triple morality that we have here. Our society
fails to execute the proper moral. It invented the false moral,
and they're not faithful even to false morals, to that
rot that they invented. At least they could have been
true to these rotten ideas that they put on the banners.

(35:33):
They are not true even to that. And you're saying
there are some likeward presentable brigades that are on TV
and there are other brigades that are dying in the groves, Well,
how would you want it? Ukrainian system is set up
similar to Turkish o small empire system, where there is
one group of privileged who can do almost everything. They've

(35:56):
got their own pyramid, and the others get nothing and
they can just die for their kind of in the groves.
The army is a representing picture of society, the way
the society is structured, the way is the army structured.
And army suffers from the same diseases. And then all
these best looking military come to the commentary and saying that, well,

(36:20):
this medical dude that was beaten up, he doesn't understand
what he's talking about. Yes, he should have been drafted again,
and we should draft eighteen year olds, and the females.
We need to do that, and intellectuals are for nothing.
They're just should and we don't care about them. We
should expunge them all, while a big layer of society

(36:40):
is looking all extremities and cracks of these parts who
are tossing the party line. Our lands are God blessed.
But when we bet on hatred and on the narrow project,

(37:04):
there was the second half of May of twenty two.
I was basically dying on that hill. I was trying
to push us away from that hill. And then you
could see how societies started to go downhill when they
started hearing that shark attack and Russian tourists. They started
doing other unspeakable things, and the Zanansky government turned this

(37:25):
country into a sack with shit that is full with
people full of shit and who are just cheating on
each other in the media, and they're refusing to do
anything productive. Now, if I did not care about Ukraine,
I wouldn't be talking about it. I would just close
the page and leave the country, never never talk about it.

(37:47):
But I still care. That's why I'm here, all right, friends,
not to lose Alexay's thoughts. To train yourself to use
your mental acuity, mental capacity. Better don't forget to check
out his code, his QR code on the screen and
explore his up I run school of thought. But the

(38:10):
only Bizugla is also posting yesterday that Sumny is being
given up. Yesterday we saw the governor of Sumi coming
out to the media saying that yes, we evacuated two
hundred villages, but we're not talking about the regional center.
And they showed some evacuation videos how goats, chickens and
other stuff is being evacuated while five people decided to

(38:39):
remain in the villages, and of course they were described
as traitors would not want to defend their country. So
this is the area where Russian troops are advancing. But Sumi,
of course he's saying, is not going to be evacuated.
If people want to live, they can, but they do believe,
they do trust their armed forces, so everything should be fine.
This is what the governor of Sumil was telling yesterday.
Bizugla is writing, However, that previous governor, she's not writing

(39:02):
about the current one. But I think she's implying that
the current one is part of the same system, that
there are some money being spent to construct roads, bridges, fortifications,
and it's difficult to check whether the fortifications were actually built.
It's easier to just give up the territory so that

(39:24):
you do not need to verify and deliver what you
took the money for. And this is what one of
the congresswomen is telling us. You know, Alexander, there is
Upcom's razor that basically says you do not need to
breed new entities beyond the necessary ones. And then there's
a razor of hellum that says, do not need to

(39:47):
use conspiracy theories that can be explained with just human stupidity.
I have a friend, David Gendelmann, an israel military expert
who just turned fifty, congratulations, who likes to say I
would pay a lot for that to be treason. It's
so much easier with treason that there is a healthy

(40:07):
system and we just have a spy who is working
against it. But when it is not treason, when it's
just dumb parts of a system, this is worse. I
do not have details about Sumi District, but if Mariana
is writing it, she probably has some correct data that

(40:29):
allows for her to talk about it. Listen when Russians
continued to push on Sumi. It became a significant region
in our defense line. What it implies is that we
need to make sure we can build our fortifications three
times the depth of a possible incursion of Russian troops
if they exacerbate their push. So you need ear defense,

(40:52):
you need trenches, you need long term fortifications, and make
sure that everything is built and ready for our to use.
Where is all that we do not have it? Instead,
we are awarding some brigade in the center of a city,
and after that award some escanderabilistic missiles hits that building

(41:13):
with women and children at So how come that in
three and a half years and in a year of
course corparation, we failed to create a proper fortification region
for our troops defending that district. You guys are not
asking the right questions. You're shouting Danski's great. Military are heroes.

(41:33):
Where is the defense fortification region system? Doctors are heroic,
nurses are beautiful. The patient died from appendicitis it just happened, right,
We were just celebrating something and drinking and forgot about

(41:54):
the patient. Is the hospital good then or is it not?
And those people who criticized this hospital. Are they good?
Are they traders? Everything is very simple, right if you
just abstract from the country, you had an enemy twenty
kilometers from a city, you had a year to prepare

(42:16):
your defense line, even more than a year, and there
are no defense lines. And if they are their low quality?
What the explanations? What excuses do you need? I don't
understand what civil discussion can take place? After military government
plan was fulfilled only for a half for forty five

(42:38):
percent last year, this is the last number. After that,
you should have stopped defending the system. This should have
become obvious and right questions should be posted after this,
why only a half of the munitions were produced? Nobody
gets surprised though, it's a third year of war and

(42:59):
our government order to manufacture arms for our soldiers was
fulfilled for less than fifty percent. If you go to
store with a ten year old and for example, your
mom gives you money and says, hey, buy me twenty eggs,
you bring back ten eggs and telling her that you

(43:21):
spent all the money, what question will your mom ask? Right,
she'll ask what happened? Right? Where's the money? And here
we're talking not about eggs. We're talking about lives and
deaths of your relatives and friends. Because the old writing

(43:46):
in the neighboring post that our heroes and trenches and
Zedansky is so great supporting them. Zenensky failed to support
your heroes, failed to give them enough munitions to fight
in this battle, and did not allow me to support
our military. He sanctioned me. So it is Trump to blame.

(44:07):
And then we're going back to the beginning of a stream.
We did not know anything. What would you need to know?
The fulfillment of defense contracts in the country. It was
shown to you and mentioned many times again. For what
else do you need to know? Well, Trump is to blame.
I guess Zelensky was accusing him the whole week that

(44:30):
Ukraine is being pummeled by Russia, and Trump, according to Zelensky, had,
if not even created those hits himself, had approved of
Russia retaliating after a successful operation of Spidernet that Ukraine
conducted over Russia, destroying forty plus strategic bombers. And it's

(44:54):
very reminiscent of hockey fight when as long as the
players are pummeling each other without falling on ice, the
judges may not intervene so seems like he's just doing that.
Zeransky is upset that twenty thousand shells against UAVs were
given to Israel, not to them, and that Ukraine is

(45:22):
defaulting on its promise ory obligations and it's dead. At
the same time, today they announced that they've shut down
all the kinzels, all the X thirty some things, They've
shut down hundreds of Russian missiles. People are laughing and
smiling in Ukraine that yeah, right, we are super successful.

(45:42):
Everybody seems to understand that this is an oral type rhetoric,
but somehow it is still Trump to blame. If you
listen attentively to Zelenski's interview to ABC News, and if
Ukraine loses, Zanski tries to hinge this loss onto Trump's administration.

(46:03):
And today EAT are coming out and making a statement
that NATO is not exactly for the seasfire, because if
the seasfire occurs, Russia will still have a lot of
trained soldiers and it will be growing its dash of arms,
so they will start presenting a serious threat to NATO.
So NATO standpoint is supposedly to continue this war. There's

(46:28):
no exit out of this. Alexei, well, there is always
an exit, Alexander, NATO, of course is somewhat treacherous the
countries of NATO when they're saying that, of course will
be will nearly supporting Ukraine, but will purchase twice more
energy from Russia oil and gas, and we're therefore funding

(46:49):
Russian military campaign. Do you think NATO could occupy this
position on the field if Ukraine refused to fight? No? Okay,
Zananski blames Trump. Was a Trump who failed to execute
on the government order of military supplies. Is a Trump
who refuses to accept the bodies of fallen Ukrainian soldiers.

(47:12):
I'm telling our compatriots that if our system is so rotten,
whatever you give it, it will misuse it. It will
not be for good. And yet, Alexey, what other options?
What are routes for retreat does Zelanski still have? It

(47:35):
seems like he is painting one to blame the West
and to accept bad terms from Russia. Well, he understands,
Alexander that if he accepts the bad terms from Russia,
he will be buried by the ones who's been toying
with those polished Ninja turtle soldiers. And if he is

(48:00):
going to attack the West too much, he'll have nowhere
to hide after this war. That's why he will be
somewhat cushioned in the rhetoric towards the West. For now.
I think the most villainly part is played by Macron
and Europe, because if Europe ceased to support Ukraine, Zenanski

(48:21):
would really have no options but to figure out how
to earn this war. This war is pointless. It doesn't
lead to a certain positive result. If it was leading
to a positive result, we could have had a vector
we should be fighting then, But now we do not

(48:41):
have anything positive. The only thing we are fighting for
better terms on the battlefield. According to Zelenski, Well, okay,
what do you consider to be better terms that Russia
would say that you guys fight so well that we
will not cross the borders of Danyetzka Lugansky districts. But
is it a good term if we waste three hundred
more thousand troops defending that, is it a good story

(49:05):
for Zelenski? If we waste two thirds more of our
troops on the battlefield or a third of them, how
much more deserters do you think will have? This corrupts
the army from within, and corrupted army will not be
able to hold the territory. So this is a very

(49:27):
treacherous situation for Ukraine. Is just Ukraine tries to not
have its people thinking much. Recently, we're celebrating nineteen eighty
four or Rod's book, right, and somebody who's asking is
Ukraine a totalitarian country? I would say yes, it is
because totalitarian country prescribes a certain way of thinking and

(49:48):
represses any other way of thinking. And that's definitely what
is happening in Ukraine now. So what are two totalitarian
countries fighting for? Right? And Russia, by the way, can
also play a couple of cards saying that look, Ukraine
doesn't have enough people to voluntarily come and fight to
this war, while Russia still does it. And Zaranski understands

(50:11):
that he has only one and but he'll be trying
to push it away for as long as he can,
wasting more people. This is like the myths of ancient
gods who are getting older and brittle, but then they
drink some of the youth's blood and they become young again.

(50:31):
So that's my point to Ukrainians, why are you supporting
the leader who fails to produce, to manufacture enough arms
for his own army and equips his army only for
fifty forty five percent of what it needs. Are you
guys nuts or you cannot calculate what does forty five

(50:52):
percent mean? Alex say, we are getting more news that
our rough proportion on the front has ten Russians per
one Ukrainian soldier in new Plea Petrovsk district. Russians are
saying that they're already building a buffer zone in ni
Pa Petrovsk between Ukraine and occupied territories. This is a

(51:15):
statement about one for ten is done from seventy second
Brigade commander of the Blacks of padishtri And. Okay, so
many analysts. I talked today to a friend of yours,
to an Israeli military expert, David Gindilman, and he is
saying that Russia cannot occupy Ukraine entirely. It doesn't have

(51:41):
enough forces. We still see one to ten, but Russia
has nothing, no forces left for major breakthroughs only unless
some black Swan event happens. Well, listen, military analytics is
a peculiar thing. But then I want to ask, if
Russia doesn't have enough forces for occupation, how come they're

(52:04):
still pushing the front line further and further to the west. Alexander,
let's start with the statement made by physician or people's congresswoman,
and she's saying that only about twenty percent of army
of one million people army are fighting on the front.

(52:24):
So let's say two hundred thousand, maybe even three hundred thousand.
Russia has only seven hundred thousand fighting in this war
and manages to push the front line to the left.
So how come they manage with these numbers to push
the war, to push their agenda to continue? Alex I

(52:47):
need to correct you. It is Fidienka who bade a
statement in Congress, and it is a guy, not a lady. Okay,
apologies to the other one. I mixed this last name
with the great singer. All right. Still, the point stands
if one is to open the map, and if we

(53:11):
could have plotted all these people in the Ukrainian Army
on this map, where are those people outside of two
hundred thousand that are fighting. If you are drafting by
force and continuing to bring people to the army, where
are they? If you're saying that Russia is successful with
seven hundred thousand against our million, who is more effective

(53:33):
and then our soldiers are always saying that there are
more Russians, always on the front, more than us, and
they're attacking like cockroaches, continuing to grab more and more
in ways. And this is the question I want to
ask our system. Our supreme commander could have gathered his
generals roun at the round table and ask them a question.

(53:55):
How come they are successful with seven hundred thousand having
advantage the key areas of the front, while we have
a million, and we always don't have enough, given that
Russians are on the external ring, so on the wider radius,
attacking us, and we are on the inner side of
it defending, and they still manage to make pockets and pincers,

(54:21):
so they effectively increase the length of the front, and
they need more troops and they always have an American advantage.
How come where are our human resources? And then perhaps
also compare these numbers with the numbers of police. Somebody
is talking about drafting eighteen year old women. Okay, so

(54:43):
why do we have men checking documents at the border?
Why the border guards are men? Then? Okay, somebody says,
there are police brigades that are fighting at the front,
but there are other brigades. The other three hundred thousand
policemen huge guys trained, So the programmer or a cyclist
whom they capture on the street needs to go and

(55:06):
die in a grove. But trained policemen they are exempt
where they're protecting the civilian infrastructure from Russian terrorists, all
seven hundred thousand or three hundred thousand of police. That's
why I want to underline the faulty use of human

(55:29):
resources with our army. And as for Russians not having
big breakers, why do they need big breakers that breakthrough
near asume? Is it big? According to Miles, objectively, it's
not like say, right exactly, but it's not the point.
Russian point is that the war is a grinder. They're

(55:51):
making a grinder on the front, slowly grinding their enemies,
but they're also terrorizing the civilians behind the front lines.
And that's why we have so many people leaving their
detachments an authorized leave. A significant number of our troops

(56:13):
just backed their things and left in the unknown direction.
Our system also led to having six million adults who
should be in the ranks of the military, or at
least be in the lists to be drafted. They're not
even showing up in any of the drafting points. And

(56:34):
there are different strategies there, Russian strategy, American strategy, Chinese strategy.
About the basic effects operation, they'd call them differently, but
in essence, it is about not capturing a certain point
on the front, but concentrating attention on the effect of
your actions on the wider territory. And as a result

(56:56):
of Russian style of war, we are very ineffect in
drafting people. People refuse to go to our army. We're
ineffective in building fortifications, and we are ineffective in supplying
our troops on time. That's why Russians have ten to
one advantage on the main districts where they attack, and

(57:19):
we constantly lack personnel and like resources. So perhaps our
great leaders should learn how to organize such a flow
to prevail over your enemy tenfold while they cannot resist effectively.
So just this stream that during the last hour we
highlighted enough points that some of our generals should probably

(57:44):
offer themselves after realizing the scope of mistakes they've they've done.
But yet they don't care. How come seven hundred thousand
are successfully attacking one million. According to the classics of
military we should be able to hold their seven hundred thousand.

(58:06):
You only need about two hundred and fifty thousand to
hold them. Yet we have a million, and we are incapable.
