now footage from the kremlin. so, well, you will tell me everything in 30 years? no, i just want to say that we are moving towards the congress, and we have another intermediate date, which is 30 years since the turning point, from the year ninety-three, and it turns out that it is 30 years that i have been heading this organization of ours, i want to say that over these years of work, well, you can say teamwork, after all , you are for... and the government is often an inconvenient

partner, but still, yes, but still, in general, you approach solving issues of a social nature from a state position, of course, first of all, based on the interests of workers, interests that you must protect by law in the very sense of the existence of trade unions, but in general the state approach, it is of course very important, i hope that this will continue . vladimir putin with the chairman of the federation of independent trade unions of russia mikhail shmakov. agaya state senator jedi vance was interviewed by tucker carlson. with his

assessment of the situation around ukraine, why washington continues to warm up immediately several conflicts at the same time in our joint project with the carlson tv youtube channel. the war in ukraine has already officially entered the phase of senseless destruction, and of course, any senseless destruction is by definition evil, but that is exactly what is happening: ukraine cannot win. russia has a much larger population and much more industrial capacity, and this was clear at the very beginning of the war, and now it is already obvious, and this puts the biden administration in a very dubious position, since joe biden has already promised zelensky your support, your money, possibly your children in quantity, quote, as much as needed, but this is all some kind of nonsense, since the united states no longer has money to distribute to the ukrainians or anyone else, so this ...

and this is all obvious to anyone who pays attention, but in washington, oddly enough, no one talks about it out loud, except for one isogaya senator named j.d. vance. and recently he pointed out that it has been known all these 2 years that ukraine is the most corrupt country in europe, no one except our country does not deny this, and that zelensky, for all his wonderfulness, is not worth sending him hundreds of billions of dollars. hearing this, the senators went wild, because they love. his

words, watch this video and ask yourself: did jaydy vance deserve such treatment, or is he telling the truth? steve, we'll probably spend about half a trillion dollars on the entire ukrainian conflict, while at the same time some people in this city are saying we need to cut social spending. there are people who are ready to cut social spending and push our old people into poverty, all this so that zelensky’s next minister buys a bigger yacht. fuck them all, steven, i won't allow it. he is hated for these words. one of his colleagues, who was on good terms with him, immediately called all this nonsense. however, no counterarguments. and, of course, if they get angry, then you are telling the truth. we decided to talk to jaydy vance in person. senator vance joins us. senator, thank you very much for coming. during your

altercation, the most stunning thing was the one called you figure. can you explain in detail how long this war is? usa, tucker, of course , it’s hard to say for sure, since every new day we spend more and more money, and these are not only the amounts that are rumored, but these are also the expenses that we incur during re-equipment. let me explain what i mean. the declared amount spent on ukraine is $120 billion. the biden administration is asking for another $61 billion, and many senators, including republicans. states or anywhere else, they may

use various accounting tricks to understate the total value of the transferred. if we have already transferred 120 billion dollars , which was stated, then the real figure is probably 150, we are going to rebuild this country anew, you have already heard about the marshal’s plan for ukraine, which will be carried out by brock or under his supervision, we are talking about an additional 200- 300 or even 400 billion dollars to rebuild this country. at the moment, tucker ukraine cannot pay its pensioners, perform government functions, such as... roads, medical care, payment of pensions, all this ukrainians themselves can’t do it anymore, given all this takers, i think that even if the war ends in 6 months, it will already cost american taxpayers half a trillion dollars. once again, this is

a guess, but it is based on how much we have already spent and how much we expect to spend in the future. this is a colossal amount of money, but if you think about it this way, what do we get as a result? we? in essence, we will turn ukraine into a sub-state, and that’s putting it mildly. initially, the goal was to turn ukraine into a self-sufficient ally, which could resist russia. let's leave the question for a second, is it worth spending $500 billion on this? i believe not, but if we assume that this was precisely the goal of the united states of america, then we did not come close to it. in the country, instead of 40 million. many men at the dawn of their strength will become full-fledged, and this is what we are wounded here, or injured, they will never be men at the dawn of their strength, they were killed, they achieved, they did not care about the state, hooked on handouts from the united states of america and nato.

and i am, of course, joking when i say that nato will take over this baton from us, of course not. and of course. it’s not a fact that nato will continue to exist at all; why would germany be in an alliance with us after we blew up the nord stream? but that's not what we're talking about now. i want to ask you this. first, half a trillion, 120 billion. our state can generally afford them. and second, why are you the only one in the us congress who talks about this? what's stacker? of course, we cannot afford this, we have debts of 1.7 trillion and twenty thousand. will increase more, especially if joe biden decides to buy himself the next election in november. we can't afford that, of course, for a very fundamental reason, tucker. if the conflict in ukraine has taught me anything, it is that economics, at least in this city,

is not a science. this is all some kind of nonsense, none of this is real. this is what i specifically mean. we're talking about $1.7 trillion here, but let's talk about the ratio. gdp gross domestic product of russia and the united states of america. on paper, america's economy is 10 times larger than russia's. our economy is much larger and more powerful without question. but the essence of power is not how many derivatives your financial sector creates, the essence of power is how many useful things your economy produces. guess how much more artillery ammunition russia produces than the united states. the answer is 20-30 times more. in other words, russia produces as much in a day as the united states produces in a month. and that's one of the reasons they were able to kill in this conflict. so many ukrainians, since wars on land are artillery. so, if

our gdp is 10 times russia's, but they can produce the most important weapon of war 20 times ours, what does that say about what the american economy itself is and how it can be used. i think this suggests that we are not nearly as strong as economic statistics suggest, but we need to admit it. very profitable, but it does not speak in any way about the power of the country, in my opinion, that’s exactly what you’re saying

they said, that’s exactly what i’m saying, once again, this war showed us this very clearly, and i remember how 8 months ago, tucker, when i said the same thing as now, one of the counterarguments was, that’s why you know, that all these pro-ukrainian arguments are all fake, since they are constantly changing, what they said 8 months ago is different from what they said. 6 months ago and different from what they say today, but that's not what i'm talking about now, when i talked about it 8 months ago, that the united states do not produce enough weapons to support the war in europe and to ensure our own security, then they just called me, conspiracy theorist, tinfoil hat, i don’t even remember everything, and the counterargument was that the united states is spending a share on the ukrainian conflict from 1% of gdp, so of course we can support several conflicts at the same time.

obviously not, here is the patriot system, which we don’t have enough of, here are the lifelines, they are also not enough, here are the artillery shells, they are also not enough. ithaker, i really am thought i was making some progress among colleagues, but something interesting happened about 2-3 months ago, you may have seen it from mark thiesen in the washington post and a lot of other senators, democrats and republicans. they're like, is jaydee actually right? 6 months ago we called him crazy, but now we say that he is right when he says that the united states is not... the united states of america. i would not

like to use such harsh language tucker, but in my opinion, only sociopaths solve their problems this way. after all, instead we will continue supporting the killing of ukrainians and russians because it's good for our defense industry, we should produce a lot of different things because it's good for our people. and by the way, when we make them, we should keep them here in the united states for our own soldiers and not send them overseas. it seems crazy to me, the very idea that it is possible from the idea that we need more weapons. bring up the idea that these weapons need to be sent to ukraine, but this is exactly what is being discussed in washington. a couple more questions, i'm about i understand what you are saying, that one of the reasons for all our problems, all our bad decisions, somewhere in the last 10 years, is that we do not realize how weak we are. do you have this feeling? yes, tucker,

by the way, if we’re talking about my arguments, which my colleagues don’t like so much, and... one of the craziest moments, if you, say, read post-war english history. so, britain was one of the world's greatest empires at the end of the 19th century. they fought in both world wars. and it becomes very obvious that in the forties in the fifties, the british elite did not even realize the level of their weakness. america was the dominant power in the world. the soviet union was a little behind us, the british kept thinking that they could be an empire, despite their weakness. they thought that it was still 910, they were 40 years behind in understanding the strengths of their country, and that's about the same thing i feel when i talk to people in washington, we are no longer the same as we were in the eighties and early nineties, i think that we we can go back to this, that we can become dominant again force in the world, but in the twenty-third we can no longer pretend that the united states can

do everything, maybe once they could, but now they can’t, and this is the fault of our leaders, this is the fault of those... so let’s accept this reality, to be able to change it, but let's no longer pretend that we live in the eighties. and the last question: at least one of those with whom you argue, and i know that you are very balanced when communicating with your colleagues, but at least one of those with whom you discuss ukraine. at least someone said what what are america's obligations to ukraine and where did they even come from? i don't see any particular historical connection between the united states and ukraine. i don’t think we owe them anything, even if anyone talked to you about it. i'll tell you what, tucker and gene riche are in complete disagreement on this issue. he provided his best argument for our commitment

to ukraine. i will say it now, i will try to express it as carefully and accurately as i can. before i say why is he... how many 100 years, 200 years, because in the end , these obligations need to be somehow specified before pinning them on

american taxpayers, and secondly, ukraine would not be able to support tucker anyway.

in the states, people cannot even calmly talk about this, since they hate russia with all their guts. this is not just a dislike for vladimir putin. it's deep, rooted. this probably dates back to the cold war. they believe that russia is the enemy, more than china. more than the problems in our country. russia is precisely the enemy, so this affects their worldview. but look, i think it's clear that expansion to the east is one of the factors that started this conflict. i believe that anyone who does not... can understand this, does not think rationally, they believe that russia is bad, america is good, that everything that russia does is bad, everything that america does is by definition evil, and this is terrible for diplomacy. and government, we can believe that vladimir putin should not have sent troops to ukraine, i, of course, condemn this, we we can consider that russia has made a mess of agreeing or disagreeing with it, but

initially we must ask ourselves what another country sees as its benefit, what america’s benefit is, and ultimately try to conduct our diplomacy in such a way as to prevent wars, so that increase the welfare of their people, but no one even thinks about it, because they believe that russia is the worst. what has happened in the entire history of the world, and my opinion is much more, listen, i actually don’t care whether they are evil or not, i care about the welfare of america if i you need to resist evil in order to make your country richer, then i will do it, if i, like america did with joseph stalin in the second world war, if we need to unite against a common enemy, then that means we need to do this, we must be more rational, this is no place for playing morality, especially the morality of four-year-olds, like... i think that's what a lot of people in this town think diplomacy is. jaydee vance, the smartest man in the us senate. i understand that this sounds pompous, but i am quite sincere. thank you, i'm glad
