it couldn't care less about them, and that's the rop on this. our stories, thanks for watching for more video content. tuning to our teas rumble and odyssey channels and don't forget to follow us on twitter and instagram. ah, a wrong when old joe don't hold any world yet to see proud disdain becomes the advocate an engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. ah,

ah. hello and welcome to cross hawk were all things considered? i'm peter lavelle. 5 months in the company can ukraine has turned into a vicious cycle of escalation encounter escalation. the more the west arms give, the more ambitious moscow's battlefield aims become. on top of this kid wants the west to essentially underwrite its entire military. and now economy. this is like pouring in. good money after bad. ah. cross stocking ukraine's future. i'm joined by my guess. now boucher mileage in washington. he's a blogger and column this in new york. we have daniela's our. he is

a journalist and author of 3 books on the u. s. constitution. and in mexico, we cross to alex rubinstein. he is an investigative journalist. i, gentleman cross are girls in effect. that means you can jump any time you want. and i always appreciate the boy sure, let me go to you 1st in washington. is reality slowly catching up to this propaganda effort to we've seen since the started the complex. i mean, you know, we have a president zalinski and his wife. they have time for vogue magazine, a shooting, something that blew is akin to war. porn zalinski want saw, as the european union is cutting back dramatically on energy usage. the ukraine wants it free now and we can go on and on. i've lost count how many billions of dollars and arms have been sent there, but it's not working. okay. the propaganda is there, but the reality is forcing people slowly but surely that this is a lost cause no voice or go ahead. i don't think the west is quite there yet. i think they're still in the doubling down in denial stage that did the vogue photo

shoot especially was was to me an act of desperation to, to try to get some attention back to the issue. but nothing is going to change the fact that ukraine is money peer to the more bottomless enough gamma stand for was and you know, say on the bursary of that is coming up. and we all know how that ended. even though the same media who are flogging some sort of miss of ukrainian victory, would love us to forget. and that was only a year ago. no, i mean, the reality is that the war is going very conflict. it's going very badly for ukraine and the west, and they're just not just refusing to admit it and try to play word games and pretend to talk to kids. well, daniel, ok, just dump, telling us what we just heard from the boys. i mean, am i being too cynical to say that this is just a griffin because they want to keep it going on as long as they possibly can because they're not having any meaningful impact on the battlefield. so keep taking the money, keep making demands,

keep getting attention because it seems to me this entire effort part of the west, even though it is amazingly wasteful and corrupt. it's a means to keep something going. well, the going is good because the end is near and i don't know when near it, but that means maybe in august and september, october. i don't know, daniel, it's like one of those road runner cartoons the now where wiley coyote goes, that goes running off a cliff and any sort of pause the mid air, looks at the audience and gulps. and then finally plummets a 1000 feet to the canyon for floor below. i mean, it's beginning to sink in in washington that the war and the ukraine is not going well. the ukranian government is showing signs of instability . the war aims are not well defined. and meanwhile, the u. s. is blundering is into trouble in the,

in the taiwan straits so. so things are not going well. and i think that realization is starting to sink in. but the process, the process of waking up is only just begun, but eventually it'll happen. yeah. well alex, you know, admitting that you are wrong is something these people have never been able to do. ok. i know, but before i go to alex, you know, stilton berg was as well. what success has nato ever achieved? the former yugoslavia they call that a success. okay. i'll alex see, you know, and looking at public opinion polls, particularly in the u. k. in the united states, when people are asked what they're most concerned about in their not prompted ukraine never makes the cut ever ever makes that cut here. this is in elite project . ok? and that's why my 1st question, the bushes talking about what, when, when do they get wake up to reality? because the publics are not particularly interested in this and only up to the

point of inflation shortages then they understand go ahead, alex. yeah, well i don't think that they'll ever wake up to reality even, even in the event of defeat, they'll find some sort of unreason unrealistic excuse as to why, why, why it's coming to an end. you know, like, like yugoslavia, you know, maybe nato also considers libya success, but i, you know, they still haven't formed a coherent government. i. the thing is, is that i, you know, you, the, this of the support for ukraine is, is i, it's, it's like a, it's a, it's a virtue signal it's, it's something that people can feel good about, but they are feeling the effects of it. and it's going to come back to bite them. you know, the u, the u. k. government is in shambles and there is going to be a, in my view, a republican takeover in the united states. i come the med terms because people

aren't willing to pay this so called pu price hike up for you know, for something which is meaningless to them. and, you know, it's, it's, it's harmful to city citizens, the civilians in and the u. k. all across europe, the united states, and especially the civilians of ukraine. you look at this attack that ukraine did just the other day on this bridge over that i, i'm not quite sure how to pronounce it, but that a d n i e p r river the night. but maybe you can correct me on that. ah, and they used us supplied he mars to take out that bridge. that bridge wasn't serving a military purpose. it was a they said that trucks weren't going. oh great. it was to damage for trucks. so it was just passenger vehicles of so there you know, the u. s. is supplying destruction in ukraine and at the same time destroying

themselves and what's the effect their, their, their strengthening rushes hand. so eventually a defi will be admitted, but it won't be admitted honestly. and there. boy sammy, i've said many, many times on this program is that the more the west helps ukraine, the smaller it gets. well, that is as being proven true. um, and you know, the, the, the, the, the sad fact of the matter is, is that diplomacy has never been but seriously taken. and that we did have a con, fab in istanbul, a month to the conflict. and then from what we understand from reporting, the u. k j boris johnson. squash that and tony blanket has no interest at all talking about some how to end this conflict because i want to make it very clear to our viewers the reckon to only talk to the americans about this. now they're not going to talk to anybody in europe because there's nobody worth talking to in europe anymore about it. it shows the lack of leadership there. they shed at any kind of responsibility that their citizens, they'll go after them. sergeant schultz won't be there for much longer guaranteed.

go ahead and washington abortion. well, the russians have tried negotiating with the europe twice already when it comes to ukraine. date it was, there was the to 2014 january, 2014 power sharing agreement that was supposed to peacefully end the my don color revolution and the us backed and coordinated ukrainian. nationalists simply ignored it and took power by force. and then those very same nationalist when they tried to crush the rebellion in don, yet skin ganske and crimea by force and were defeated. then again turned to france and germany to broker a ceasefire. and that was the minced protocols. disease fire, which again they proceeded to completely ignore it. and what did the us do it sabotage these things that every step and the french and germans just went along with it and you know, mouth platitudes. so i don't blame the russians for saying that the french and german or germans are agreement incapable and they wish to speak to the manager, which is in this case washington. the only question is,

who's actually in charge in washington? because job manifestly is not and you know, whoever tony blinking takes instructions from is, is an idiot because he's not engaging any sort of diplomacy. he's just engaging in fostering and propaganda. and obviously not having any effect whatsoever, but you know, anybody could see it if, if they just bother to truck. you know, daniel, isn't the voice brings up such a very good point. i think it needs to be reiterated. this conflict has been going on for 8 years. okay. well, through media won't talk about that. they won't talk about the 14000 people that died in the don bass. the result of this. they don't talk about the blockade. they don't talk about all any of these things here. and that's why when i look at this, joseph beretta, the head of the use foreign policy. he said this is going to be decided on the battlefield. i mean, he's such a buffoon and you know what? he's right on this one because if here is no way to negotiate, nobody wants to come to the table. then the russians will say, when it's over,

when it's over, when they did say it's a, it's over and it has nothing to do with any kind of arms or any other kind of overtures that come from the west. it's really a one way deal right now. daniel yeah, i mean it is going to be decided on the battlefield and that's the problem for the west. because the, the russian military effort started out slowly and haltingly. but it's picked up momentum since then. and now the advantage over the ukrainians is really quite clear and maybe pouring in more more western weaponry like the, the high mars may, may offset the process for a bit, but it won't be for long because has cleared the russian war machine will keep grinding on that russian power is overwhelming and the ukrainians will be forced to, to back off to can see. so the big question is, the big question, is that once that reality becomes impossible for even washington,

just to defy what happens next. i mean, does, says, does nato call off it's, it's 25 year march to the east. yeah. due to russian, russian pressure. and what will that do to nato and the you and what will that do to tell us a gemini, will there be any, any shred left of us control of the, of the global order, or will it simply fall apart? and if that, if the latter is the case, we are facing a, an epic change. one of the most profound transformations of the entire post war period. and daniel, it's over you, crane with it has no strategic interest to europe or the united states. it's not a key security issue and i agree with you read a pivotal moment here and it's because of hubris and neo liberal ideology on

rules based order or whatever that means. that's what it's all about gentlemen. i'm going to jump in here. we're going to go to a short break up. about short breaks. we'll continue our discussion on ukraine's future. stay with our to the ah way. no one. no, no, not a little more shrill than what the ship unit 731 was a unique organization in the history of the world. what they were trying to do was to simply do nothing short and build the most powerful and most deadly biological weapons program that the world had. every now

is forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except where such order does that conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about personal intelligence at the point, obviously is to place trust rather than fear with the area with artificial intelligence. real. somebody with a robot must protect its own existence with a

with ah mm hm. ah,

ah, welcome across not we're all things are considered. i'm peter bell to, to remind you, we're discussing ukraine's future ah case go back to alex in mexico. i, daniel did a really good job of mapping out the implications of this conflict in how the world will move forward or move apart from it, because i see it as a paradigm shift here. and i don't, there's no way going back, but it's focus a little bit of time on the impact of these of the sanctions here. famously, chancellor schultz of germany, i refer to me on this program is sergeant schultz because he reminds me in sergeant schultz from hogan's heroes, mom, these are the impact on europe is profound. okay. and you know, irrespective what's going to happen, i don't see sanction being lifted any time soon. the russians have been prepared for it. they've shown that they've been prepared for it and they're moving forward

here. but i think the political implications for the european union are profound is well and the only upside for washington. and all of this i would say is that they've, they haven't had demonic control over europe. yea, what a victory that is a pirate. it victory. an empty victory, if europe is not, that doesn't have hyperbolic productivity, that it's not competitive in the world. ok, i mean, so it's kind of a loser situation for europe and the political class, there's going to pay a very high cost. i really, truly believe that go ahead, alex will. i, i think that the goal for the united states and nato a structural change in russia. that's not going to happen. and to be quite frank, i don't think that there will necessarily be structural change in, in europe. either what if they're willing to fight this word to the last ukranian then i think that they are willing to see europe fall until they're there. they are the last one standing on. so i, i think that the only country that we're going to see structural change in is

ukraine, which was the last thing that they wanted. but i, i do feel that i rather than a situation of structural change in europe, we're going to see a long term slow detour deterioration. ok, so i don't, i don't, i think that you can call that a paradigm shift because it is obvious that the tides are turning. but i don't think that necessarily we're going to see people, you know, storm brussels. that's a good point. but i mean the paradigm, let me give another example, the paradigm shift that i'm talking about, the boy, you know, joseph burrell is a very, very upset that global media continues to follow, segregate, love it off the foreign minister here, and not himself. okay? i mean, the, his blog that he writes is just a gift that keeps on giving. it makes a complete buffoon out of himself here. but that's the, that, that's part of the paradigm shift that i'm talking about. the global south is not

going along with it. they, it shows very clearly the global south does not respect or fear importantly, the west, any more. that's part of the change i'm talking about. go ahead in washington. well, there's, there's 2 slogans. the basically 2 motto is that the western empire has lived by all these years. one is calculus, let them hate me. so is the fear me, which as you pointed out is no longer the case. now we've left, we're just hatred. and the 2nd one is fake until you make it, which is the, you know, the driving force of drifters of the world around. well, the gift is up there. they've been thinking it, they're not making it. the world has stopped fear, ink, and continues to hate. and now you have a situation in which basically the fabled international community has been reduced to the u. s. europe and a handful of its allies around the globe. and the rest of the world is either neutral or pro russian. and this, this was not something that the west wanted to achieve. in fact,

it's the opposite of what they wanted to achieve. i'm not sure if that was russia's plan all along. but we were, this is more, this is bigger than ukraine. first of all. secondly, when it comes to ukraine itself, though, it has to, it ultimately has to choose between its survival as a country, good point, his regime. because this regime is going to see a dead and buried. that's right. a daniel, if i show good is going exactly where i wanted to go. i, we keep talking about ukraine, ukraine, ukraine. but what is ukraine now and what will it be? ok, this is a huge question. that open ended right now. and the more western support we see, the smaller it gets, and i'm not really sure how attractive the around state would be. would it become a ward of the e u. and that would be part of the ugh, alisha, the deletion part of ukraine, which is full of some very, very nasty people. okay. and i personally, and i'm going to say it publicly, i don't see how zalinski survives us and he doesn't have to fear the russians. he

has to fear his inner circle. daniel. yeah, i mean, when we talk about the u. s. empire being over extended. i mean, what that means is it has extended itself into a sort of a nebulous border zone. and the ukraine, the word ukraine actually means a border zone. and the, the crane is structurally weak, big. and today it's sort of like, you know what, that which lies between russia and europe. it's free for centuries. it's been a, it's been a high wafer invaders traveling from central europe, central asia, into europe and vice versa. and so there's no stability there. there's really no state there, there's no there there. and it's divided between the russian speaking east and south and the, and the, the ukrainian speaking west around the city of laval. and

that is indeed the center of a very nasty, ultra right form of national. and it's just hard to imagine a viable state arising out of that. it's been a battle zone for years and likely will continue to be a battle down for years. and the u. s. empire sort of thrust itself into the middle of this kind of nether world. you know, and that's kind of stand is the same way. i mean, ask dana stands the border zone as well. always has always been on governor governor both. it's not so much a nation as a place where the other nations and, and the u. s. thrust itself into that completely thoughtless late and after 20 years has ended in disaster and something tells me the same thing is going to occur

the grant. i absolutely agree with you, you know, it's one of the, one of the terrible things that happened as a result of the my don qu, is that of the, the people that came to power were espousing a, a nationalism that didn't have a nation. okay. it was in, it was a imaginary in them their own small circle of people in, in, in western ukraine. and they thrusted on to the rest of the country, which of course, but don bass in the crimea. and so we have nothing to do with this. we, we don't, and we don't agree with your definition of ukraine, your definition of what it means to be ukrainian. and they don't, they didn't want to divorce themselves, who from the russian language wash and traditions russian history here. and this is what we've happened has happened here. they have thrust themselves, he used daniel's word on them to create ukraine that never existed in never will exist for the reasons that daniel just told us. go ahead, alex. well, before i get into that, really quickly like to,

i'd like to quickly circle back to our last point, you know, ukraine for because if it's corruption problems for the longest time, it was called the sick man of europe. but it's in an american fashion that you know where everyone's going bankrupt from the hospital bills. ah. and it really is because of what you said, the, this ultra nationalism, these people have been leading the policy agenda for more than 8 years now on and, and as who and said in february, holding the people of ukraine, hostage to their, you know, neo nazi forthright. agenda a 3rd, right. agenda on so i, i up, you know, it, the people of ukraine don't deserve this. i, as you stated before, the show. wonderful. they're wonderful people. and i, and, you know, a, it could be a situation like berlin at some point because there is

a real divide in the country. and eventually russia is going to have to keep pushing them back if they keep getting supplied with longer and longer range missiles are going to have to push them back to a point where those missiles can't reach russia. understandably, that's, that's like, you know, imagine for a moment, if russia was sending a long range in her intercontinental ballistic missiles to mexico, we would, we would see where i live in the north become a once again, not part of the united states, as it's completely untenable and i think that i zelinski won't, won't last through this. but the real question is, is, is, is he going to be replaced by somebody who is even more, alter nationalistic at, at b, i at the, you know, at direction of the united states and nato negotiate at the, at the end of the day, who's going to take the blame, who's going to be the bag man?

well, i mean, obviously the united states taxpayer is currently footing the largest part of the build, the european citizens. not the leafs are taking it on the chin as far as the economic fall out. russia, sort of, you know, funding the rebuilding of the destroyed east and south. the biggest losers are going to be people living in ukraine, hands down. and all of this destruction is completely senseless. because again, all of this could have been avoided. had there not been this insistence by the collective west to create an entire russia, not just a non russia, but entire russia right out of ukraine, rather than, you know, set up some sort of free trade community from, from the atlantic to the pacific. but there are some kind of you know, centuries old, rooster phobia and hatred and mistrust of russia has, has compelled them to act like this. and now we're all watching the concept was put

in the end. we're seeing, i'm convinced that we're seeing a sort of a re run of the syracuse expedition of antiquity in which a powerful empires basically engineering its own ruin by engaging in the series of stupid wars and losing its power that way and never realizing what it had done until it was too late. dan, we got, we got 30 seconds finish off the program for us. daniel. the u. s. has gotten itself and really hot water and this is not going to end well for america, america is grossly over extended. i think america itself is, is unstable and that this could be the start of a process of the unraveling of us power. that won't and until it reaches washington itself, well, that wouldn't be a very bad idea. i just would like it without violence. ok, that's what i want. i'm completely against violence here. but i truly believe this

is all in the cards here. ok. if people say things are going to be resolved in november, now they're not going to be resolved the other. then it's going to continue down this path there all the time. we have gentlemen, i want to thank my guess and wasn't in new york and in mexico. and i want to thank our viewers for watching us here are the see you next time. remember cross levels ah ah no one no, no, no. hon julio luna was door more shrill than what they should of unit 731 was a unique organization in the history of the world. what they were trying to do was

to simply do nothing short and build the most powerful and most deadly biological weapons program that the world had ever known. real. and you know, to production, it was, it said, gives you or sure did enough keynote when you saw new rochelle keep on move. my general manager thought this meant nguyen from all one of our brand new and i got the owner much sale i got ya. i got on monday. i wish to know about julie whole new peter, or guzzle more or less than a cheerios. i had to put all of the sco their mother and all our buddy built a couch. nice. oh boy festival. to go at madison. oh, what on this?

oh sure, my annuity. oh, i can send more. oh, $7.00, mortgage, $2.00 a month or put them out there to give us a ah, as the u. s. g d, p meets the terms of recession, the white house tries to put on a brave face, claiming the economy is not struggling brutality. backfires a plan by cab to encourage antiwar feelings by spreading videos of the murderers of russian prisoners of war instead outraged to the international community and ass off battalion member discloses the exercise with we received an order from the president's office to create an information contained with short content of the brutal murders the prussian prisoners of war. but this campaign caused a negative reaction worldwide.
