king, my only prayer and hope is that they will manage to find his body so that we can go and bury him at a proper resting place. i have lost hope that they will find him alive zimbabwe, national parks, old mines, and rivers, and even towns like tubs of trolls. for many people, they all hold to discover, viable mineral deposits hidden in these places. many people have tried to find jobs for the past 20 years, but i missed all of this. searching for presses, minerals has become one of the few ways people can make money. it's like a little glimmer of hope in a country that's been facing so many challenges. whilst the rest of them bob, we goes to sleep. accrual 15 people from the rescue team will be inside the soft months for the next couple of hours. searching for the remaining missing mine is chief baptist and said go to zimbabwe. all right, that's gonna do it for me,

but just stay with us. my colleague mike of watching is in the take a fresh look around his life. kaleidoscopic isn't just a shifted reality distortion by powell of tired vision with no real live indians fixtures design to simplify. it will confuse who really wants a better wills, and is it just as it shows you, fractured images, presented as fast? can you see through their illusion going underground can we are in control of the land of fire breathing. the volcanoes. volcanoes vividly captured the imagination and they define our lives much more than you would expect

. so what are they capable of and what makes kentucky as volcanoes, stand up the hello and welcome to cross stock where all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle . the tide appears to be turning against the crane. the counter offensive is a stunning failure. future western funding for the proxy war is in doubt, and european voters have started to vent their displeasure for a conflict designed and promoted by their relates. is this the beginning of the in the

prospect to ukraine and the west? i'm joined by my guess, larry johnson in tampa. he is a managing partner at burg, associates and a former c. i a analyst and us state department counter terrorism official in belgrade. we have stephen diets, he is a research associate at build rates institute for european studies. and in sydney we crossed simone wake up. he is a political activist as food and contributor and hosts of the ozzy comstock show on t n t news. radio gentlemen comstock rose in effect, that means he can jump anytime you want, and i always appreciate it. let's go 1st to larry and tampa. well, it looks like the western, the leads project known as ukraine is hitting some speed bumps. is it is a big, is it fair to say this is the end of the beginning, or i being too optimistic, larry? no, i think is there that a the, the key thing is how long will the west continues to try to pour money into this? that's the only thing that's keeping you create a float without a western aid. they will last

a week. and so what you're starting to see in washington is what was once unified support has freight and afraid significantly, the congress is now at least some members of congress are willing to use ukraine and some leverage and the amount of funds that once were readily available have shrunk so yeah we're, we're looking at the, the, the light at the end of the tunnel is not a non rushing training. steven, let's go to you and, and bell, great. i mean it, let's talk about your neighborhood. slovakia had an election mr. pico, his could come out on top and be very much expected though. at the very last minute of the exit polls said something different. is there some kind of shenanigans going on there? but at least for the time being his party, one way hungry is in the same category here. what's going on with the so called western unity. a new brand new war is only an avatar

for a bigger picture. and that is the end of the parasitic system. the end of neo colonialism, which is happening everywhere. and of course it's happening in, in, in europe, in eastern europe, in particular. the small box uh that you just mentioned, just heading off of uh, being bullied by brussels and by the united states. to be quite frank and constantly, uh, ordered to give more and more of their weapons money. and everything that is needed for the globalized cost, which is the ukranian war ended. they had enough, they simply had enough. so they've bolted somebody who wants to lands this kind of a rental status. that's the lock. yeah. as well as many other, most of your being countries have towards a towards washington. so now what we see is only the beginning of the

process that will continue. however, i do expect that there will be a backlash. i think that the, the, the system that is pulling up barnesville, do every thing create more use. busy only in order to preserve what they have, i absolutely agree with you. they're not gonna go down without a fight, no way. and they head to mind will not give up easily. let's go to sydney some updates. one of the interesting things about this is we were talking about with slovakia and hungry and we had a politico in the last new cycle come up with 2 stories in politicos. probably the most pro war outlet there is out there. no arms left for ukraine in europe and also the funding crunch is coming here. and these are the most pro war people ad politico here is this a sign of the times that there we've been getting to think about changing the situation? go ahead and sydney a look, i think that this is a rush to the bottom. what we're going to say next is a competition between western powers west and leaders to get out of the conflict.

first. it's a matter of who's going to be holding the by the last and for example, in australia, out prominent style, but easy just that, yes, it items that he's sending and the drying systems, the crime. and everyone in australia is saying, well, hang on a 2nd on the american sign is stopping money. the british, the germans hungry originally lucky everyone is turning their backs. and the prominence through this try to have been able to use these on the very heavy criticism. because australia is that want to be less last causing the baby and facing, for example, russia. let's just price it on the right or with it with a coalition of whoever's left to the smart latest that the people in charge of wisdom, countries who have a little bit of a full side. well, they can say that this is a very good opportunity to withdrawal, to say stop and get out of the situation before they left on the run with the

landscape. well, larry and anyone, that part of the so called coalition that well withdraws will be punished by the united states friend or foe. larry, in the united states has been a one to know, charlie, you know, there was a saturday night live skit several years ago with christopher walken and even that every time you come out the band was playing and it would tell him would need more cal bill yeah, well, i remember it. yeah. that was all the wayne data ourselves. that's a long time ago, but it's a good one. yeah. keep going. yeah. but because that's been the western strategy, they call for more cal, but we did, which it's just a matter of you only get the right weapons, the system and package and in the hands of ukrainians. then they'll be able to run off with it and defeat the russians. and it doesn't matter whatever weapon system is is sent over whether it's the em triple 7 artillery pieces, or the high mars, or the f. 16 or the m one abrams tank or the leopard or the challenge,

or you don't have trained ukrainians that can operate that equipment. and then the russians have affective fire from both artillery, fixed wing aircraft. they're destroying it, right and left. so there's not the west has this military fantasy this been based upon, you know, 30 years of beating up on what i call little round people around the world who didn't have artillery, who didn't have fixed wing aircraft. now they're come confronting a kind of war that they haven't, nobody alive has seen it. the last time they saw anything like this was in world war 2 on the backs and we didn't have drones. well, it's steve and then then, you know, there are collective wisdom here in tells me this is just the graph this, keep it going on as long as i get a funded. okay. mean they, the outcome is obvious here. okay, how we get there? that's a different story, but as long as the money is there, why not take it? the outcome is obvious, but what i am afraid of is the, let's say,

a shock or therapy or the shock event that might, you know, flip the attention. so of ukraine is over now let's move to some other spot. i mean, nobody is asking today what happened with the uh, with the whole a call the thing and uh it are the reports about certain vaccines being that lead to or not. because now we have this big war and a lot if something else comes and then nobody will even notice that you grain is as the it does has faded away somewhere in the horizon. so what i think is that every trick in outside of the boat will be used in order to prolong the situation because it has the money is definitely over. and the countries all over the world and the peoples are all over the world are in this i would say, oh, labor ration movement. and they're trying to observe successful in, in, in the,

in fighting grab this, a new colonial system. but that is why i think we might see some, some events that a, that's my tried to divert attention. so what i'm looking at now is the region of caucuses and, and the pacific. because it seems to me that maybe even the bulk is where i am. uh, because it seems to me that after the failed counter offensive, there is a desperate need to divert rushes energy and also the to, to try to ruin the coalition that are trying to be formed. especially i think that the middle eastern salt focuses locals are volatile, which is why thing that the, the attention of not only the united states, but also great brands and even more. and some other western countries are being focused on, you know, somebody, one of the things also that i'm worried about is a false flag operation. because i think that's the last card that the u. s. can

play, we had north stream. but there's some other things they can do just to divert attention and add to it, make it be, you know, a pro democracy against the talker. so you get that message back online. go ahead and send me the russians. they make strongly careful and heads off to the russian military and the leadership in russia for how careful they've been. it have been almost 0 attacks on civilians and people in the west. i understand that even the initial stages of the special with the russian people are sympathetic because they fill up the full lot of the russian armies being on the list. and i was able to install it. i scored stood policy was that evidently was not true. and people in the west, in australia, for example, they say now that russia is the good guy, and i want to add to the opinions that definitely the opposition in the west, particularly in australia, is very growing, gets expanding. and it comes with the back of the locked down as the 1st mandates

in relation to the kind of vaccines and people do not trust the government. people don't trust the government at all. now there's a trend in australia. you've got people who support funding zelinski. well they support locked down by support. ready very masks. they simple. yes. to the referendum which is coming up in australia in 7 days. and on the other side, the majority. now the growing majority, you have people who are saying no to the abilities you government's referendum no to anything. the government's trying to propose, not to all of the ad, to tell terry measures which the government takes not to the doctor, nation of children. not to all this propaganda, which is taking glass notes and most importantly, not through supplying any weapons any as trying weapons when he's tried in money of a safety, a crime. it's probably the lowest now pauline, in relation to support for a stratum development of the war. and, and that's a great thing for us. it's a terrible thing for you crying, but it's also a great thing for a strider, because australia is a sick of seeing the demilitarization of australia. australia doesn't have a lot,

just drive, doesn't have any weapons. let's try to send him triple 7 systems drugs. me solves even a bush. last is a 2500000 dollars age and they started simply does not have of the weapons to be involved in a world like this in the decline i'm. i'm glad you brought up coping because the, a, cobit and ukraine. these are a lead agenda is that we're not popular and no one voted down. the gentleman i'm going to jump in here. we're going to go into a short break. and after that short break, we'll continue our discussion on ukraine and the west state, without the least russian states. never as tight as on one of the most sense community

best english. i'll send, send the same assistance to progress be the one else calls question about this. even though we will then in the european union, the kremlin media mission, the state on the russians per day and supports the r t supposed net, keeping our video agency, roughly all the band on youtube tv services. for what question did you say from stephen twist, which is the oh, what i would show the wrong just don't you have to safe house to come and engagement because the trail

when so many find themselves will support. we choose to look so common ground the the welcome back to the cross talk were all things are considered on peter level to remind you were discussing ukraine and the west. the ok. let's go back to larry in tampa just to kind of stress the this is an elite agenda. i thought it was really quite interesting is that we had the election outcome in slovakia and then we had joseph burrell. instead of saying, you know, europe a, b, u is behind the ukraine. i mean, you have, you know, the electorate saying one thing, and then you have the so called foreign policy person who is

a fool and essentially a mr. mcgrew saying he's speaking for all of the you. i mean, you can't get more of a contradiction than that. go ahead, larry, but the not the united states and nate, now we're really, they're struggling with that the you because they had this plan and it was a plan based on hope. well that they thought that they could put enough product that number one, they built the ukraine up as a military. they could defeat russia, at least in their minds. they didn't really look at it appropriately, but that's another matter. the 2nd they thought that food ned very weak support, that the russian economy was running on fumes, you know, the famous it's, it's a country masquerading as a gas station. and what is happening in the course of confronting russia and imposing both the economic sanctions and then throwing everything they have from a military standpoint, short of nuclear weapons, or putting nato troops on the ground. it's all blown up in the face. and the notion

to put it in nato troops on the ground would mean that they were more effective fighters than ukrainians is just nonsense. it's ridiculous because the fact of the matter is we have a 30 year history now of watching us troops and nato troops. and places like iraq and afghanistan, the spells to quell people who did not have the same kind of intelligence support. and so is surveillance, capabilities and weaponry. and so here in the, on the thing here is the ukrainians are actually taking advice from these clowns. yeah, and we can put these plans that have not want to conflict. i mean, again, you know, see partners and not appear power steering, you know, one of the things that is very curious here is that as the counter offensive has failed, one has to wonder if russia is going to take advantage of it. one could make the argument then slowly, but surely what the special military operation is succeeding. but you know, there,

i'll be honest with you living here in russia, there is frustration. russians feel that they have the capacity to end this and they would like to see it. and stephen the rustles, were reluctant from the beginning. i mean, this might sound ridiculous, but basically, i think we came to this point because russians were exhausting every possible way to just not escalate. so what they did, they went through this means could raymond score for 7 or 8 years and they were tricked. and uh, at the end they had to resort to military intervention, which was obvious back in 2008 when in bucharest they so decided to, to integrate the ukraine and georgia, which was a direct, a recipe for a disaster. and for a future war that is happening right now. so what the west did, it actually forced russia to completely,

i would say this from destroyed the combined ukrainian natal forces on the 33rd here of the former soviet republican crane. i think that this will only mean this, this part of the global war will and weighed russian troops in kiev and probably on the bulge border. same on in, in, in sydney here what i think it was last week of foreign minister lobrado the said, the west to once the, there's a conclusion in ukraine on the battlefield and he said, well, that's fine with us here. and i, and i'm agreeing with what we heard with steven here. mean the west doesn't want peace, they never talk about peace. they only talk about rushes defeat, which is not going to happen. so, you know, all of this western support for ukraine is destroying ukraine. go ahead and send me a i think what the problem is that the west was never really, truly committed to fighting russia. it was all about adventures signaling somebody will go, well, i know somebody come on. no, i'm no, i, i, i, well,

i wouldn't have the variation on that. they, they wanted to fight russia, but they wanted someone else to do it. i think that's the whole, that's what it was began, but here keep going. go ahead. exactly what i mean. they were happy to say ukrainians died and these mess cemeteries at what level you crime once these territories liberated, waiting to have monuments stand blocks to those the credit and soldiers decided these men died because of nights or is actually night to be killed. these hundreds of thousands of ukrainians all around the country. very sad because russian, there are one thing that we know the read, the why the russians start the new diversion. in fact, russian troops on the 24th of february, 2022, many of the russian from for said don't shoot at ukrainian soldiers at all because we expected them to surrender. we'll come to join outside. we were filled with the you for yeah, from crime. yeah. and that was the expectation. and at the end of the day, now the night to has gone its price. they shut the whole world, its, its weapons,

uh inferior, its tactics that inferior russia. on the other hand, images out of this conflict as a very strong country. it's the most a because i strongest rushes, ever bane military production levels are back to where they were in the soviet union dies. russia has the most ad drive at tech and defense systems in the world because what i said, that is, be a good job. you will, of course, but russia has the experience, the rest of the country in the world that has been using drugs and also defending against drugs and such a capacity. so we emerge at a be special with depression, with russia being the much well prepared out of any country in the world for a future logic conflict, which is probably around the corner. this is probably a very similar situation to the soviet finish wall which preceded the 2nd world war, the rep i tried to cool web. it was necessary to have some mistakes, learn some mistakes, costly, but then it improves deposition in the future. so russia is most prepared out of

all the countries now, and i think the rest aging, verify, morales is most important thing. the russian people are running behind the president, the russian knew it series rowing, and russia is it's, it's sort of a post itself of track this page. the sofa is trying to use the f as be reported that it ran and come, jessica was arrested and stripped of his russian citizenship. now this is a very interesting development that this is happening there actually. now, stripping people of rushman citizenship for extremism for calling for the murder of russians or a tax on russia. and of course, as i surprised that this man was an ex ukrainian who received references in 714, so within russia inside is fantastic. the you can cite the advancement and rushes receiving all these hidden unlocked bonuses. students started with certain objectives, demilitarize and then that's cation of the crime. but he's also dealing with arise, a whole wave of nights, or countries the extra. and the reason why they love to be a poland as trying to even if they've all been demilitarized. yeah, well, larry,

that also this conflict is, is revealed what's happening in nazi occupied canada. which is a tough, which is a, a topic of another program which i've already done. but it's very interesting. we, you know, we heard from some of them that you know, the russians have learned from their mistakes. i agree. well, natal learn from its mistakes, larry. now there's a flat learning curve. yeah. kind of the, a real resistance. in fact, i, i am aware that you, the us military right now is been carrying out some exercises. they're preparing to go to war with china. i made it sounds mad, it sounds insane. but they have not learned anything from this conflict in the war and ukraine. they made the calculation number one, recognize ukraine, represented. even though it was an unofficial member of nato, it represented the 2nd largest military force in nato. and they sincerely believed that they could launch it against russia, that the, the russians would collapse because the russian military,

according to the western intelligence, was a hollowed out shell. only led with people who had been conscripted against their will and were a bunch of criminals anyway. and that it would just rapidly collapse and implode, plus russia didn't have any ability whatsoever to produce muscles that fire one or 2 and it'd be done as well. it was all a lie. and what so shocking about this is that the west, the western intelligence did not correctly identify the real capabilities of russia had. and what to do. and so now they've, they've single handed, at least, destroyed what was a us led international order and have now created the post world war 2 thing is done, it's died. and we're, and we're witnessing that the rise of a new genuine, both type all the world. well, it's even, you're, you're living in europe. i mean, what has the average european citizen gotten from all of this? i mean, they're always saying sacrifice the lead,

say sacrifice. they never sacrifice the leads. never. okay. and but well, you know, what is, what are people in slovakia? what in hungry in poland, in, in, in your country? what it, what is the, the upside of all of this? i can't see any that 0. so, service being given into wars with nato during the 9th. these are probably an exception to the rule. but in europe 1st, they were fed with propaganda and i thing now they're fed up with anger because uh the living standard is flowing and there is no point and no progress from this the, from the standpoint. busy where they begin with that ukraine is defending the free world. i mean, the old basically, the, the, the old mess of spartans being individualistic, europeans who are fighting against these hordes from, from, from a design. so all that was exactly what people are use basically again. yeah. i yeah,

that's absolutely right. we've been here before. keep going, keep going. i mean, at the same, where's the same? no european identity are going to use it. let's look at the nazi propaganda in the countries outside of germany occupied by the germans or allied the do the germans. it looks exactly the same there, you know, or be in unity. i guess the, the, these evil 100 miles from the east and so on. so i think that the, this is all falling apart, and at the same time with the global and actually the globally such as i'm the following, i think we are seeing already and we'll see more and more on internal these fields and, and go those wants to be quite honest in the future when it comes to western european society is in particular because uh the leaves are uh, have a time and again failed. their holders failed their citizens. and as somebody will have to, to be responsible for this. and i think that the citizens will try to do so.

however, these societies are quite divided among many lines within themselves. and that is why i think we expect some kind of growth think decades of mathematics a style. well, i mean, well, well, well i'll, i'll be very modest. i, i'll be happy just to see the end of nato that would like, i'll take that record when i can get it. okay, that's all the time we have gentlemen. i want to thank my get some belgrade can but, and, and sidney. and of course i want to thank our viewers for watching us here at r t c a next time. remember prospect rules the the, the,

or the car. i'm rick sanchez. and i'm here to plan with you whatever you do. you do not watch my new show search like why watch something that's so different opinions that he won't get anywhere else. welcome to please, or do the have the state department to see i a weapons bankers, multi 1000000000 dollar corporations. choose your fax for you. go ahead. change and whatever you do. don't want my shell stay main street because i'm probably going to make you comfortable. my show is called stretching time, but again,

you probably don't wanna watch it because it might just change the way inside the washington's paula to go get it sees in texas as i started move off the us. how big of on base those made allegations of a secret funding deal for you trade, despite is public. i just to keep american interests best. some of my colleagues are only willing to stand up and fight throughout border if they could send billions to ukraine to fund their board or to, well, i've had enough of that. and that's why i brought this motion to vacate ukraine risk being less hung out to dry when it comes to switch away for its war effort by the collective wet with now, it's can no longer afford to provide key was money and weapons and he's real demands canada knowledge, it's past the fitness of allowing nazi.
