of their future differently, great britain and france agreed on the seizure of the arab lands under the guise of the so called mandate of the league of nations. this bible play caused particular indignation in a rack, which was to get under the control of the british. in may 1921 rest with claim for independence broke out, both assuming and that she took part in it. soon the rallies turned into a real uprising against the invaders. more than 130000 people took up arms. britons urgently began to transfer reinforcements to a rack and used aircraft radius war. secretary winston churchill birds the use of chemical weapons against the rebels. and general ser i, elmer hell deign, bordered the destruction of any village where weapons were found. burning a village properly takes a long time, an hour or more according to size paulding recall and cynically. in his memoirs the

media build girl d paid off. the result was crushed. however, separate his empire had to make serious concessions. in 1921, it recognized the solve the 1st as the king of a rag time gave part of the power to representatives of the local population via racket. revolt marked the beginning of the national consolidation of the country and became an important milestone on the way to final independence the,

the, the, the honorary sanchez. i've been doing news now for some 30 years to languages all over the world . and here in the united states, i've been interviewed. i've interviewed some for us presidents and worked at about 4 or 5 different us television networks been fired by most by the way. i really knew it shouldn't be honest and direct and impactful. and this, this is direct impact the

so i've noticed that lately, even c m m is admitting that the situation for ukraine and it's counter offensive is quote, increasingly sobering. when you creating troops manage early on to roll back a good deal of that evasion force, hopeful initially high, they can quickly finish the job. it's not worked out that way. and now new reporting tonight, and there's going concern among western allies about ukraine's counter offensive. and it's fate in a moment. we'll talk to a retired 3 star general for his take, but 1st disclose reporting from she nash. i'm sure to the book is right there on the screen. you see the words increasingly sobering. now, if cnn is saying that the counter offensive is increasingly sobering, certainly be increasingly sobering, or maybe even worse. why? well, because c m m, and you probably have noticed, is and has been among the ukrainian governments biggest cheerleaders. i mean,

if they say it ain't going well, pardon the 8, then it must truly not be going well to. and then there's this. they recently did a folder at the cnn, my old colleague's, which as it for the very 1st time ever, a majority of americans are now against continuing this and billions and billions of dollars. do you crime? in fact, as americans watch the death toll grow from like the fires in hawaii recently, many are asking why is it taking the vitamin ministration so long to send so little to those americans while we send so much by way of relief to ukrainians? since when does it mean to send money to ukrainians rank above the signed release funds to americans unlocked? that's the reality. no matter what position you are on. that's what americans are asking themselves these days and ask yourself why this is happening. how about the

money we do send to ukraine? because it's, i think this is important part of this, which by the way, is a lot how is it accounted for? what start with just some basic numbers. congress approves i'm $113000000000.00 and aid to your grand last year. and i know it's a hard number to kind of nail down because you're getting different figures somehow, unless you're even saying the real figures closer to a 137000000000. i saw a lot of money because of the enormity of those numbers, a watchdog organization that track the money that we spend enough data stand has now come forward and they are recommending to congress that we audit those funds. so what happened in afghanistan doesn't happen again, by the way. what happened and have to understand, you probably notice maybe you don't. $19000000000.00. $19000000000.00 was lost to waste fraud abuse. who knows? just disappeared into thin air type $2000000000.00. that's your money.

now based on that, and you would think that congress would want to make sure that the money that we send is audited, right? nope. the democrats right now and congress are actually saying, it's okay, we don't need to audit the money to ukraine. if it is a $137000000000.00, you're saying a $137000000000.00. does that mean to be audited? now if you're asking, are they actually turning down the oversight of the funds? are they really doing that as to what we saw happening in afghanistan and in iraq and in other countries? yep. yep, exactly. that's exactly what they seem to be doing. it seems crazy. no, as a taxpayer anyway. so here's where we are. we have americans for the 1st time, souring on their tax dollars going to ukraine. we have the u. s. corporate media for the 1st time starting to recognize that zalinski is government may not actually be telling us the truth when they say they're crashing. the russian military and it

sounds like it might be the right time for congress, maybe the binding administration. maybe some of these neo cons to at the very least, just take a step back, right. take a step back and reassess the theater, reassess the situation. wrong again. in fact, neo cons like john bolton, president, trump national security advisor, who now is among his biggest critics, is wanting americans not to electronic get because he will when they don't have his words. proving once again that nato is to be a cons. what squirrels are the dogs? they're obsessed by a bit. rodney, here's another example. despite long standing treaties that would prevent this from happening. the senator from utah recently said that he wants to, he wants a more aggressive new us strategy in the black sea. the former presidential candidate, assuming to suggest that we should send us naval ships into the black sea right now

to try and regulate traffic and patrol the region. a lot of observers who heard that are saying that wouldn't be akin to russia sending warships up the st. lawrence river through new york, all the way up to lake michigan to regulate shipping lanes in lake michigan. how would that go over? exactly, so, so maybe maybe the take away is that, well, most americans and even the us corporate media are beginning to recognize that we should work toward a cogent, maybe more peaceful resolution. the, and the conflict. democrats and republicans, as usual, both more fully uninformed and downright war hungry. it seems, is it because of all the money that they get from war, profiteers, weapons manufacturers. the lobby is who shall it out? i don't know. the, let's talk about this. i don't even know right here in the studio we have uh

michael milofa former uh kind of gone official as well as garlic nixon who is uh, co host of google, our problem that radios. all right, thanks guys. so glad you're here. i don't. i guess we gotta start with the we have spent a mr. maloof, a $137000000.00. how does there's a $1000000000.00 in ukraine? and people are actually saying, we don't need the audit. we trust our government. how crazy does that sound? it's? it's of noxious and, and it's, it's foolhardy. and there, there are calls actually in the congress, the house, the house has passed legislation to the in the a, the national defense authorization bill to do just that, to set up an office with in the office within the uh, it inspector general to do basically what the, the inspector general for afghanistan did for, for ask any money out of here in favor that we need to give tons of money to

ukraine to do whatever the hell is that they want to do with it. you still should be having a crush. well, especially if you compare it to afghanistan to what happened in afghanistan, we see in the extremely high numbers of a fraudulent operation had until the economic operations to bear with all the the weapons that were left behind. and basically it was an atm machine for the military industrial complex for, for years. okay. but yes, actually, i'm a no stop. no talking about i get a stand. in this case, we're talking about ukraine, who has a democratic form of government, a very honorable and respected leadership, including mister so lensky. and there is no way in the world that there would be any corruption there. right? well, the reason i compared it is because it was a money laundering operation, and this is a money laundering. operation is the same thing. you know, sy hersh reported that the c i a chief went to the zalinski and basically said, you know, you stole $400.00 all or $400000000.00. you got to do to more than your fair share

share, share it with some of the other people. they understand what's going here on here. they can't do an audit because they already know the level of criminality that's going on here. you think that's really what you think they know if we were to do an audit, they're going to find out that these guys are taking the bodies of lensky recently . fired. i don't know, but i'm good batch of people in his government and he said, the reason i'm firing them is because they're all corrupt. so they complained because he wasn't sharing that money, that he was doing everything. the people he fired were actually a part of the deal. they yeah, they were all part of the deal and he kept much of it for himself. the problem here is that we have a demo. we have a democrats side in the house and the senate that feel that it would send the the wrong signal to the allies if we did. if we started the audit number one. and number 2, it would send a message to moscow that we were not serious, but, and, and, and, and it, but, but the here,

here's the problem. when the n d a comes up in the, in the, in the senate and the house for a conference committee, that's where you're going to see the brouhaha. it's attached to the defense authorization bill. we're talking to michael maloof is a former, authentic, unofficial, and also the. busy the next and the host of the critical, our on sputnik radio, i guess the question i need to add, you gentlemen, at the deal with his why are we getting such a weird story from the corporate media that says, some of the following things. the russian military is incompetent. by the way, these are people who destroyed hitler's, not the military of the crane is a democracy button is hitler who's trying to take over the world and the ukrainians by. busy are, are winning this whole thing, which of those things is true or not true, none of them is true and, and it's a binding administration that is controlling the multi they the mass media in this country and saying what they want for him disorder. one of them was

a meal card. michael, i'll disagree with you. it's the neo cons your controlling the message. i really don't think it has that. what you're doing. all right, victoria, no matter where you put in there, they're going to get the same as victoria new and she's, she's the deputy acting deputy secretary of state. no, she has family that came from you crate. why is she a t, right? how are those people different from the people in the bush administration who got us into a couple of wars? well, are they? well, they had, they had, they had other designs now the need and then the icons will, will look for any more. so to, to, to push democracy, that's my point that i'm making to you and i'll bring you this, the end to this common thing by them out of the way, take the democrats out of the way part of a different president. does anything really change? absolutely not. and i agree with you because what we're talking about as an ideology, and we're not talking about you joe biden. in fact, there are many me being one who believe the joe biden isn't making decisions. now, the joe biden is not competent to make decisions now. so he is a president, he is theoretically presiding over this, all the ideology. and as you said,

if they, if joe biden is going to more they could put a picture of joe, but they could put a cardboard cut out of jo by using the same, by the way, let me argue with the what they have now. i don't care if he's incompetent or not competent, or if he can speak or if his brain still works, even before all of that. he's always been a pain war guy. that's a war guy. right? yes, i wouldn't say that even if it was well, but he would be doing anything different. exactly. all you have to do is look at the people around him. they are neo cons and what we know about the neo cons, they've been consistent. victoria newland, was dick cheney's assistant to your policy was she was hillary clinton's assistant under brock obama. she missed a little bit of time under trump and she's back. so this is a ideological strain that has come to power and they are doing what the they do. so look, here's what i want to do. i want to talk a little bit more about what can possibly happen moving forward, and maybe a better understanding of what's actually happening in the theater from you,

michael, as a military guy, they help us understand that. all right, you guys stay right there by the way. i wanna continue this conversation with you as well. all you gotta do is reach to me on twitter handle is rick sanchez, tv. that's rick sanchez, tv, and we can have a conversation like the one we're having here and i'll look for you there. by the way, when we come back, we'll of money for ukraine ever dry up. or are we being led into a meeting with your more when we come back? don't go with the of the, the only most intellectual a man of i d is a great read a few as a comedy, as cheap as a marxist to feed her discomfort didn't really understand before she was a feeling intellectual throughout the emotional debt. some power,

all these audiology and public ex run, that emotionality emotional falls, office, or geology, these politics, which united would into actually room people all the tutorials, the the say, welcome back. i'm like sanchez,

what we're talking about is the congress. our congress just doesn't seem to be able to whip up enough support here in the united states boards, members, to audit the us taxpayer dollars. oh, just a few of them out of her calling over to ukraine and were joined once again by our panel. mark maloof plumber beneficial as well as got a mixup. who is the cost of the critical hour on radio? sputnik. my thanks again. the both of you gentlemen for being here. did you guys get a chance to watch the g o p debate? yes, i have never seen more people trying to out do each other to try and same 12, like they're going to take on the world. and we've got to and china and we're going to take off with, you know, and, and, and rush. it just seems like they're living in the 1950s or something. is it me or are they crazy? what i saw was a bunch of candid talking points. when i watch that, and i watch trump or i watch some, joe rogan, you see why everyone is leaving corporate media. you see an honest conversation

when you agree with it or not. it runs like tucker carlson, and donald trump were thinking about what they were saying and answering these people. these were tried and tested, talking points from their particular parties. i can make the government smaller than you. oh, i can drill more than you. people have had enough of that. they can't pay their rent, their house has been burned down. so what do you, what do you think? and i don't, how do you make this point? what do you think, michael, the, the american people trust the, the least these days, the members of the corporate media or the member of the house and senate? well, it sounds like both. there, this is what we're seeing. pete, they, the american people know better now they, they've seen it with their own eyes. we've lived through 20, some odd years of war and we get, we're going to be going to war again. and, and nothing seems to change. and, and just during this administration alone, things have gotten worse. you think the way here's as an american, what i want to know if tomorrow, president biden called president,

put and called presidents lensky, and may be involved president she and may be in pro and involve mowdy or a couple of other world leaders. and this, the guys, we gotta figure this out. let's try and figure out how we can come to some kind of drew's or some kind of arrangement here with this ukraine situation. has anybody even tried to do that? do we care to do this? it's not in our interest. right? again, it's not in the us, so peace is not in our interest. that's correct. and why the hell the thing to say, you know, why did we expand nato? the way we did when, when the warsaw pact went away a after after the fall of the soviet union. so you're saying that report that said that the former prime minister of great britain went over there and literally told zelinski do not agree to anything. we don't want this thing to stop. that's probably drove at it. he'd probably did. yes. i would say he did anything of that. oh, that's not for good for forget it was the ukrainians that reported that so you know,

right. there are not a lot of things, i believe that of your training and media media, but that one seems to make a lot of sense. and it simply because the us plan this, i mean you, all you have to do is look at the grand chest boards. it was a big new brzezinski is a book for years. the us as telegraph, that all they wanted was the getting ukraine into shopping ukraine up at night like a knife and the cutting brushes root with it. and they've gotten what they want, but be careful what you paid for. you might just get it, rick. it was victoria newland, and, and then vice president biden, who arrange for the crew in 2014 and that of ukraine at why, because they wanted to begin an isolation of russia. this is all aimed at at containing russia and, and to, and, and, and now china. and now you hear the head of nato stoughton burg, who's saying we need now to expand nato into the, into the in the pacific. and people are objecting. why are we doing this?

why do we have this kind of expansion military expensive, but the reality of the situation on the ground? not if you listen to see and then then you know, nbc and fox and all the corporate media or, or the newspapers here in this country. but if you really are a keen observer and you start doing your homework on this, is that in fact the ukrainian military is being decimated. yes, this is what i'm reading in certain places. is it true? yes it is. and that they're running out of soldiers either running out there, running out of soldiers. in fact, i saw a clip this morning where they, where authorities in ukraine are actually virtually kidnapping young men due to be the. so in other words, the trying to take people off the streets and get them. yeah. because they have to yeah, i've seen some of those videos as well as happening and we've confirmed a few of them. okay, so let's, let's make this argument right. garland play along with me here, ukraine is in a tough spot. it really is running out of reinforcements. while it's trying to tell

the world that it's having success in this counter offensive. what happens when you're out of your soldiers? who's gonna fight collapse? that's the way this thing is, is going to eventually collapse. eventually there will be some kind of a clue against zalinski. there will be some kind of a collapse militarily and politically because. busy as there is no space for this public government, they're just puppets of the neo cons to come back to reality and to discuss with the rest of the issues. not to mention, they've had a number of agreements with russia. the men's go chords. what means 12, et cetera. rest is not going to believe them again. so they're just going to fight and they're going to eventually, okay, you say collapse. let me give you another alternative. they run out of boots on the ground. somebody else furnishes those boots on the ground. some would even argue maybe the united states of america. my country is going to furnish those books on the ground. maybe poland maybe made. oh, is it possible it worries me a little? i'll say this. we wouldn't if we could, but we can't. so we, well,

we actually don't have the troops. we actually, we're being demilitarised along with ukraine. what does that mean? that means that we don't have the numbers of troops in um, in, in, in the area. it would take the united states a couple of years to get the number of troops in that theater to effectively engage russia on the ground on the ground. and we don't have the ability to do things. my opinion is, do you think there's a political sense or movement or even need to do that other people in this country, your friends at the pentagon or near ponds? maybe a little crazy or the new. okay, so so pardon me for saying that by the way, but who would actually say no, no, no, we need to get our guys in there to fight those rush. no, i don't think that's, that's not the flavor of the thing. even the crazy is won't say no, no, no, good. not, not, not the, not the current pen, a gun backpack, then maybe. yeah. when we were really strong, but our, our, our stockpiles are, are depleted and, and we, and we don't have control over

a lot of the resources that would take to build up. we would have to tweak the memory. and my, i mean i'm, you know, talking crazy some crazy talk here would be we won't work through it. yeah. so like i envision a country like poland. poland has been various sort of, you know, over there. they're the ones who are buying new military equipment, whether it's from us from japan. and they are using nato ultimately to re gain portions of what's ukraine that they historically occupied at one time as well as bell roofs. so i've seen, we're basically going to be confronted with getting into one of their 18th century wars in the 21st century. and i think, but let's go back to the model. this is what worries me the theater right now is russia against ukraine, right? yeah, my concern is the theater expands into the russians, the ukrainians, and somebody else and who potentially could be that somebody else. and how worry some, would that be, i would say the 1st or,

or next in line. and the cannon fodder line is, is poland. the problem is poland, but they can feel maybe a 150000 troops. or even there, i mean, russia sitting with several 100000 troops in the side. the, on the side, russia does not. i mean, excuse me, poland does not have the military might to engage the russian army. the russian army is, is, is pretty powerful. they are not using everything they have. but if a gentleman and if that happens, and polish soldiers go in, poland is a part of the data correct? isn't there an agreement that says if the russians then attack polish the soldiers, then they'll, all of nato has to go in? or is that correct? does that apply that if they go into ukraine and they fight in ukraine, article 5 wouldn't. that's not apply. that's correct. okay. yeah, but there's a, there's a distinction there. and you're absolutely correct the, the, the if, if, if they do a bilateral thing without approval of nato. it's article 5. they are political and we'll leave this because we don't want to turn this into a segment about public. but do you believe there's

a political will in poland from both the people and the amount of patients to do something like this? maybe the politicians, the not the people, even your you look up, listen to your listen to jeremy, listen to france or sick of it. in fact, their economies are wrecked. they're not, they're gonna, it's gonna take a decade or 2 for them to re gain their quality of living that they had prior to all this. and it's and wait until this winter, this winter is going to be bad while the ukrainians, if it's true, as we've seen in more credible reports around the world, but the ukrainians are not necessarily tearing it up over there. or at least their military is it? why is that? why haven't they fared well with all the inclement, the $137000000000.00 worth of equipment? well, but i mean, let's, let's face it. you know, if you've read any history about the russian army, you look at what happened with france, attack them, and hitler attacked them. the, the history says that if you attack russia, they end up in your capital. so to put the ukranian, which is the strongest proxy army that the u. s. has ever had, but it's still

a proxy army. it doesn't have an effective air force and it's not a legitimate military match for the russian army. they never had, it sounds like you're saying we expected too much of them. well, no. there's what we expected was for them to engage russia. we could then use economic coersion to take russia out, mark that didn't happen. we didn't have another answer, michael. i'll give you the last word on this. i think we're down to 32nd. yeah. where they were, they've always been trained for defensive fighting, not offensive. and that's why all of their doctrine has been geared toward the offensive. and that's why it's the russians have a history of being able to counter that. they have an effective counter offensive. that's what i see happening. i'm hearing they got weeks to train some of these people. i know it's there for and somebody even though it's not actively, no longer train somebody, you can't train someone to run through a minefield. there's no way to get through that column next. michael maloof, thanks to both. thank you. sure. thank you. so before we go,

i want to remind you of our mission here, which is a really simple and i think you get a sense of it from this conversation. watching this, i load the world, right? we've got to stop living in these little boxes where you only know your true. maybe not. your neighbors turned to stone that have boxes everywhere. public sandra, i'll be looking for you again, right here to provide some direct impact the the kind of thing to go. i let jim gotcha the inside

the yes the, the, the, you know, to the controls for the to pick to pick for the, to just kick an image here. so, so in the show of it just keeps ship. the mobile one usually get in the loop and code again, let me see where that is it and about well the, the, so you just thought it was the video as of whether i need to see it. we have enough though, again, put that stuff to you. so when you, when you told me, when you bought the

the disturbing images from god, this is the largest hospital, which is breaking points and with a critical influx of casualties and refugees. officials say at least 724 policy and children have been killed by you through the s drive health way northern gods, or at least 20 civilians are reports and they killed an injured after these really attack on the city of w. the both of the saw the idea of says disappearing to alicia a full scale ground on the assaults on gaza. that is really cheap, supposedly a mustang near the pool the fullest and you and, and placed on.
