Speaker 1 (00:10):
Hello, dear friends, guests and subscribers to our channel. Thank
you for tracking our streams. This is our joint stream
with alex Airstovich and it's streamed on both Alexis channel
and my channel with evening Alexi. Good evening, Alexander. Thank
you friends for sticking with us, not forgetting our efforts here,

(00:31):
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 VPN. A couple words about the format
of our today, very traditional. You can see two QR codes,

(00:55):
one underneath my side of the screen on the left
is on the Alexis. 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 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

(01:21):
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, especially in these dark times. And
thank you for sticking with us. And again I'm seeing

(01:42):
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 stream with. When will Ukrainians
become enlightened of that situation therein and so number one

(02:04):
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 the situation or don't believe they can.
Alex say, how would you vote? Well, First of all, Alexander,

(02:26):
all 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 the world. When, for example, the Germans in nineteen
forty five, when they were shown those concentration camps and

(02:49):
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, who
wanted to know. And 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

(03:10):
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, 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

(03:35):
discussion with that battle medic who was conscribed again by
drafting Commission and how people split into two different camps.
A horrible story. Some 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

(03:59):
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 and activists and citizens, and the
discussion splits in these categories. One category says, well, you know,

(04:20):
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 we make 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,

(04:43):
I should probably be better offering myself because people tend
to lie a lot to themselves, and this position they
are 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,

(05:05):
even if there was just one case during the entire campaign,
there was one case with the Drafting Commission, that would
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.

(05:25):
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
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

(05:48):
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 approach me, in about ten Ukrainians, each of them
coming with their own questions, but most of them have
the same question underneath it, When will the war be over?

(06:09):
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
think and I defend what I believe in. When people
start to deviate, when people start to explain that this

(06:32):
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,
but it's ours and we have to deal with it.
I always want to ask the question of these people,

(06:52):
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 for? 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
are destroyed. We are standing in our country. What country

(07:13):
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,
if your kidneys are getting beaten in the Drafting Commission,

(07:33):
jail equally with an equal 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 Net more spiders, Spider strikes back.
The soul has no meaning if there is no main answer,

(07:58):
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
we are? Second? Where we are? What is the world
around us? Third? In what relations are we with each other?

(08:21):
And question number four why Is it all that Ukrainians
have no answers to this? There are often similarcroms that
they present as answers, and most of them, by the
fourth year of this war, they're in the negative. They're
negative argument saying that we're not Russians, we are here

(08:41):
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 only
thirty five years. When I hear that we did not

(09:02):
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 encroaching
on their shores, very difficult engineering task that they had

(09:23):
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 be
fighting with China or United States. These days. So the

(09:45):
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 it
fails to birth anything because there is no system, structural
idea behind Ukraine. We can talk about details on the

(10:49):
front 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 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

(11:09):
expunged 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's 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

(11:54):
all these 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

(12:15):
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
then 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 Krummlin and Crumlin propaganda
sits down in a huge puddle and gets mirrored 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 at night. Listen, the war
started to ask very sharp questions. This is what's happening now.
What 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
Bomeister tossing philosophic matters around real questions in Ukraine to

(13:44):
a 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 chance to even call her, his relatives and
his girlfriend to let her know where he is and

(14:04):
what's happening. And he doesn't even need to watch 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 pick

(14:27):
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 some number in the first hundred.
His parents are looking at the list. Oh, this is
our guy. He disappeared, was missing in action. We were
hoping he was maybe in prison on the other side.
But they are now returning his body, and our government

(14:52):
refuses to take it. And they don't need to now
listen and look for philosophic answers. They need to find
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

(15:12):
that question will rise its head again when I hope
the body comes back to Ukraine and they'll be putting
this coffin into the ground. Everybody who knows who fought,
knows the smell of that ground, of the soil or
the freshly dug whole. And when people do not know

(15:35):
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 a huge

(15:56):
enforcement apparatus ninety thousand criminal case in Ukraine only in
this year. We're not even half yer in ninety thousand.
So in basic words, if the army is one million people,
about three hundred of them three hundred thousand of them,
every third are missing, they have left their location and

(16:22):
then nowhere to be found. And every fifth has not left,
but he is ineligible to be sent to the frontline
due to health reasons. So they at best can cook,
perhaps provide some logistics services, but they cannot fight. So
we're looking at a picture where almost half of people

(16:44):
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
the leadership is pressing the same pedal of resentiment. I'm

(17:04):
just curious as to when the government will get tired
of it or where people will get tired of it,
because everything goes down to those damn Russians and Instagram
and Facebook. They've dumped another ballistic missile volley on us.
Here are some dead children, and then the next round
of media shows, hey, we're destroying some of the equipment

(17:25):
and look America, Look 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
is starting the hatred center, another electrode starting the dopamin center,

(17:48):
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
pushes the main idea that Russians attacked us, so we

(18:09):
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?
What is my position? Where is my authorship in this situation?

(18:32):
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
the framework. You don't need to think, You don't need

(18:54):
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
picture because people used to push this responsibility onto the leadership.

(19:18):
But there is some personal responsibility. The intelligencia of Ukraine.
Very often they were given a certain power, critical power
in the country. You could still be loyal to the country,
but if you're a part of the intelligence, you need

(19:38):
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
same formation because you don't need to think to support

(20:01):
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
current Zdanski's regime. They're pushing the same primitive signal. Russians

(20:26):
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
get you tired from all this repetition, people start to
ask these questions. The medic got beaten up, He asked

(20:47):
the 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 this question. They are starting to condensate, to
concentrate in the air out of nothing, and it will
be facing people during the shelling at night, during Russian

(21:10):
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 tire tirelessly continue bringing our streams to the same
question because this is the only way to reach the

(21:32):
minds of our people, so that some of the candles
would reignite their fire that is almost gone. Even if
we awaken several people, this is well worth it because motivation,
ability to stop this war, ability to produce, capability to

(21:55):
manufacture things effectively, organize your army, all that is dependent
on answer this center point question. We cannot organize an
army of the country that is trying to fall apart.
You know other kid's toy. There's a stick with a
bunch of rings that you put, you know, different colors

(22:16):
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
supporter of anti project who is screaming Bandera. What idea

(22:38):
connects the person living in Sumi 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,
different views on life, different understanding of this world? What

(23:03):
unites them all? Okay? Afraid of Russians and kadetrav troops
and the like. Okay, but if our authorities start to
behave like Russian troops, then what many people will say
that this is a justification for treason of motherhood? Okay, Alexander,

(23:25):
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? How we treason us when
we 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

(23:47):
treason is supporting your country and its mistakes while face
slapping this motherland where makes a mistake and criticizing it
harshly for the mistakes 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

(24:12):
crivedness of my personal funds to armed forces of your grain.
I took this money from my children and gave the
money 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

(24:34):
motherland took away my ability to support my soldiers. Would
this motherland want a couple face slaps, three slaps for
these errors, alex say, Who can make the motherland change
its mind, change its ways? Nobody, Alexander. Humanity learns only

(24:56):
in two ways, either by very hard and diligent work
over oneself, or be a crisis in catastrophe. And nobody's
working on themselves here. So we're probably looking at the
crisis 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

(25:20):
this point, the crisis will be much much deeper because
if the current regym wins, that means that everything they've
done was okay. 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

(25:44):
guilt free. Then excuse me, why do we need such
a country if all that is acceptable. That's why the
flow of 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

(26:06):
to eventually happen that we'll be looking at. We are
trying the 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.

(26:29):
Let's say Midnski, Russian minister came out today and said
he was sharing his new impressions of Stambul negotiations, and
he's 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

(26:50):
the Ukrainian eyes not just tiredness of war, but just
reluctance to continue fighting. He sees it Thatkraine soldiers, officers,
officers 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

(27:11):
of an officer is to essentially try to preserve the
lives of his subordinates while achieving the goals. Understandably, Midinski
can weave his speeches, and some people are attacking him
for a certain verbal operation, right verbal propaganda, and some

(27:36):
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 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,

(27:57):
situation in the armed forces of Ukraine is more and
more reminiscent of a two contour 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

(28:19):
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 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, Yeah, still faces stupid orders,

(28:43):
idiotic commanders, taking bribes, leaving their disposition. How 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 under. Our media tries to present our soldiers,

(29:04):
our generals as heroes, but majority of them are rather cowardly.
When you talk about the generals, you do not understand
the system therein. 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 a certain part of work that is just

(29:27):
split among many generals and officers. You plan the fight,
you execute it, you send the orders, 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

(29:50):
is to train a jaguar who will be standing still
on your order, and who will be attacking your enemy
on your order. And 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

(30:11):
powerful and upset about something, and you need to 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 solutiony,

(30:32):
how did they completely lose to the politicians and to
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

(30:55):
they're failing to take a stand and explain to politicians
that they're not going to fulfill 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.

(31:17):
Over a half of deceased on this 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

(31:38):
you different ways of fighting, more effective ways of fighting.
In Germany there is Academy of Armed Forces and they
have a verdict of one of the courts of the
Seven Year War, the times of Frederick the Great when

(31:58):
he made a superpower out of Prussia and he was
still the last big achievement of Germany and Europe who
beaten France created the pro prototype of the future empire.
He was a genius commander who fought for seven years.
And there was a case when one major of the

(32:20):
artillery who was given an order to stand on the
hill and shoot his artillery in a certain 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

(32:42):
the king gave him a different order. So he is
being court martialed after this war and his 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 they
haven't grieved. His majesty gave you the rank of major

(33:04):
so that he would be able to make a decision
which orders of his to execute and 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 the Ukraine. Out of eighteen Ukrainian philosophers who
could have been birth giving birth to new thought, fifteen

(33:30):
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 he is promoting some

(33:51):
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 a Moscow university
and his book was pirated published in Moscow, and that

(34:15):
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 he

(34:43):
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's free to do that until he
was caught. And this is how our system works. Our

(35:04):
troubles are from immorality or 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

(35:25):
least they could have been true to these Broughten ideas
that they put on the banners. 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 Osman empire system, where there is one group of

(35:50):
privileged who can do almost everything. They've got their own pyramid,
and the others get nothing and they can just die
for their country 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

(36:14):
come to the commentary and saying that, well, 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 is

(36:38):
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

(37:01):
that 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 cheering that shark attack on Russian tourists. They started
doing other unspeakable things, and the Zanansky government turned this

(37:23):
country into a sack with shit that is full with
people full of shit and who are just treating 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.

(37:45):
But I still care. That's why I'm here, all right, friends,
not to lose Alexey'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 around school of thought. But the only

(38:08):
Bizugla is also posting yesterday that Sumi 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

(38:29):
is being evacuated while five people decided to 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 sum of
course he's saying, is not going to be evacuated. If
people want to live, they can, But they do believe,

(38:51):
they do trust their armed forces, so everything should be fine.
This is what the governor of Suma was telling yesterday.
Bizugla is writing, however, that previous governor not writing 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,

(39:14):
and it's difficult to check whether the fortifications were actually built.
It's easier to just give up the territory so that
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
occom's razor that basically says you do not need to

(39:36):
breed new entities beyond the necessary ones. And then there
is a razor of hellum that says, do not need
to use conspiracy theories that can be explained with just
human stupidity. I have a friend, David Genderlman, an israel
military expert who just turned fifty. Congratulations Vid, who likes

(39:59):
to say, pay a lot for that to be treason.
It's so much easier with treason that there is a
healthy 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

(40:21):
Mariana is writing it, she probably has some correct data
that 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

(40:42):
three times the depth of a possible incursion of Russian
troops if they exacerbate their push. So you need ear defense,
you need trenches, you need long term fortifications, and make
sure that everything is built and ready for our troops
to use. Where is all that? We do not have it? Instead,

(41:02):
we are awarding some brigade in the center of a city,
and after that award, some scanderabailistic missiles hits that building
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

(41:26):
asking the right questions. You're shouting z Danski's great military
are heroes. Where is the defense fortification region system? Doctors
are heroic, nurses are beautiful. The patient died from appendicitis

(41:47):
it just happened, right, We were just celebrating something and
drinking and forgot about the patient. Is the hospital good
then or is it not? And those people who criticized
this hospital are they good? Are they traitors? Everything is
very simple, right, If you just abtract from the country,

(42:09):
you had an enemy twenty kilometers from a city, you
had a year to prepare your defense line, even more
than a year, and there are no defense lines. And
if they are their low quality? What explanations? What excuses
do you need? I don't understand what civil discussion can
take place? After military government plan was fulfilled only for

(42:34):
a half for forty five 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

(42:55):
third year of war and our government order to my
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

(43:17):
ten eggs and telling her that you 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.

(43:42):
Because the old writing in the neighboring post that our
heroes and trenches and Zedensky 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. And then we're going back

(44:06):
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 Ukraine is being

(44:29):
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 very

(44:52):
reminiscent of hockey fight when as long as the players
are pummeling each other without falling on ice, the may
not intervene. So seems like he's just doing that. Zaransky
is upset that twenty thousand shells against UAVs were given

(45:12):
to Israel, not to them, and that Ukraine is 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

(45:33):
down hundreds of Russian missiles. People are laughing and smiling
in Ukraine that yeah, right, we are super successful. Everybody
seems to understand that this is an oral type rhetoric,
but somehow it is still Trump to blame. If you
listen attentively to Zarenski's interview to ABC News, and if
Ukraine loses, Ziranski tries to hinge this loss onto Trump's administration.

(46:01):
And today theatre coming out and making a statement that
NATO is not exactly for the ceasefire, 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

(46:26):
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

(46:46):
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 it Trump who failed to exec
on the government order of military supplies? Is a Trump
who refuses to accept the bodies of fallen Ukrainian soldiers.

(47:09):
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, alex say, what other options?
What are routes for retreat? Does Zelansky still have? Seems

(47:33):
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 going

(47:58):
to attack the West too much, you'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 would really

(48:19):
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 have anything positive.

(48:40):
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? Nat Russia would say that
you guys fight so well that we will not cross
the borders of Danyetzka and Lugansky districts. But is it
a good term If we waste three hundred more thousand
troops defending that, is it a good story for Zelenski?

(49:06):
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 treacherous situation
for Ukraine. It is just Ukraine tries to not have

(49:31):
its people thinking much. Recently, we're celebrating nineteen eighty four
or Rosebuok 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 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?

(49:55):
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 Saranski understands 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

(50:17):
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. So that's my
point to Ukrainians, why are you supporting the leader who
fails to produce to manufacture enough arms for his own

(50:37):
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 percent mean? Alex say,
we are getting more news that our rough proportion on

(50:58):
the front has ten Russians per one Ukrainian soldier in
new Pa Petrovsk district. Russians are saying that they're already
building a buffer zone in Nipa Petrovsk between Ukraine and
occupied territories. This is a statement about one for ten
is done from seventy second Brigade commander of the Blacks

(51:19):
of padishtri And. Okay, so many analysts. I talked today
to a friend of yours, to an Israeli military expert,
David Gindermann, and he is saying that Russia cannot occupy
Ukraine entirely. It doesn't have enough forces. We still see

(51:44):
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 still pushing the front line further and

(52:05):
further to the west. Alexander, let's start with the statement
made by PHYSICIANA 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. So let's say two
hundred thousand, maybe even three hundred thousand. Russia has only

(52:29):
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 need to correct you.
It is Fidienka who bide a statement in Congress, and

(52:52):
it is a guy, not a lady. Okay, apologies to
the other one. I mixed this last name with great
saying all right, Still, the point stands if one is
to open the map, and if we could have plotted
all these people in the Ukrainian Army on this map,

(53:16):
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? And then our
soldiers are always saying that there are more Russians, always

(53:37):
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. How come they
are successful with seven hundred thousand having advantage at the

(54:00):
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, so

(54:21):
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 brigdes 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

(55:03):
they capture on the street needs to go and 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

(55:24):
I want to underline the faulty use of human resources
with our army. And as for Russians not having big breakers,
why do they need big breakers that breakthrough near assume?
Is it big? According to Miles, objectively, it's not like say,
right exactly, but it's not The point. Russian point is

(55:48):
that the war is a grinder. They're 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 just backed their things

(56:09):
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 there are different strategies.
There are Russian strategy, American strategy, Chinese strategy. About the

(56:34):
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 of Russian style
of war, we are very ineffective in drafting people. People

(56:55):
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 we constantly lack personnel
and like resources. So perhaps how great leaders should learn

(57:17):
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 offer themselves after

(57:38):
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. You

(57:59):
only need about two hundred fifty thousand to hold them.
Yet we have a million, and we are incapable. End
of the first hour
