the all, the officials have come up and said that the united states, those well rushes red lines and it is perhaps best not to mess with the never the less we are seeing more and more tool among western media among western politicians about providing these results for ukraine, which will, without a doubt lead to further escalation. alright, just stay with our to international up next to direct impact with rick sanchez. the 3rd sanchez here. this is direct impact on this is what we are going to be talking about. questions are swirling here tonight. about what caused the loss of one of the precious few f sixteens this country has. and one of the precious few pilots who can fly them. yeah, this is starting to look like the downing of

a us tax payer paid for f. 16. may have been friendly fire and now because of it heads are rolling and ukraine. i'm rick sanchez. let's do this of the so life again with this, which is kind of what many observers of deal politics and us for and relations like jeffrey sachs are going to tell you if you were to read them or talk to them or us neo cons in this country for 30 years, essentially they've been doing this, but they're literally pushing russia and china to countries that by the way, did not get along the least amount like each other. they're pushing them right into each other's loving arms. they really are a and the real matchmaker, at least right now in this moment, looking at it from a news standpoint, is mongolia, interestingly enough,

look at us map. this is going to make all make all the sense of the world to you. when i show you this map, see that right there, but come on goal. yeah, my goal is perfectly position between russia there to the north and china, just below it. so what do you think russia is going to be doing? well, if you guessed that they're going to build a pipeline, tillman go later to provide china with 50000000000 cubic meters of natural gas. so, yeah, or you would be right, that pipeline called the power of siberia to is part of russia's strategy to try and make up for the loss of most of its gas sales in europe since the start of the ukraine war. so how do russia, mongolia feel this deal like this? the, so this is russian president vladimir putin, as you can see right there, he's getting the red carpet treatment during the official state. visit them on goal

. yeah. and they're in the capital one, but tar. he met with mongolian president cool. also to do what is essentially this is a business deal, right, pomp and circumstance, children dancing. but this is really just a business deal between these 2 countries, which will bring together china, mongolia and russia, even more so than they already were. and how do we have to pay for that? obviously, our country's foreign policy that seems designed to provoke china and russia by treating them like adult. there's little step children that are way beneath us. they're just bad people instead of talking to them and finding out if maybe they're not so bad or maybe they are, but we need to figure each other out. no, no, no, just hate hate hate. it's just anyway to illustrate this point. listen to how the white house spokes person minimizes the potent visit. by the way,

you may also notice that she doesn't even know how to pronounce the country that she's talking about. she calls mongolia. well here douglas, obviously were aware of the of the visit, a previous visit to, to magnolia. and we've said this before, and i'll say it here. we don't believe any country should give a putting a platform. nobody should listen to him. nobody should give him a platform. people in this world are no longer allowed to talk to each other. yeah, it's good. oh yeah. what's funny about this? i'm bringing in craig pos to particular part way. i think i got that wrong. don't. thank you. i changed your last name when i was growing up. we really hated russia because it was the big bad soviet union backs. and i remember as a kid, admiring and watching phil donahue, he had president of on his show, ted koppel, you still have russian reporters and chinese analysts and, and there was a today, it's like you're not even allowed to say the name. it's like you could get in

trouble nowadays for looking at rusher or trying to run on a map. what happened? i don't know what happened, but it seems like cancel culture is kind of slipped into our foreign policy and you know, clearly, so the way you say that was main goal, you're right. actually said main goal. yeah. yes. and that's a spokesperson for the president of the united states. yes, castigating the rest of the world for being beneath. so it's not a smart, not as good, not as kind, but we can't even pronounce to work. it just shows you what are our people in congress? are people in the immediate people, the white house, what they actually know or don't know the party by the way. thank part yes, absolutely. because i think good side of the same rhetoric if the republicans were in congress right now. but i look at the situation. i really honestly think to myself, i know this is all about economic ties. anybody who looks at this and you showed the map. yeah. you can see that when he get a pipeline going through russia into china. yeah. make up some of those losses. they had, you know, whether europe and market that went away with the russian invasion. it's

a big deal. absolutely. i went capital was we hated washer when they were communists. now we hate them because they're capitalist, you know, i'm sorry, go on. them is the 3rd time i've interrupted you, i'm going to stop it. no problem, rick. i mean, the, i think this has a lot to do with our control, right. mongolia is one of the members of the, i see, see me and the icbc is issued arrest warrants for vladimir, put him for quite some time. this is the 1st is the country, the representative, the icing say he is actually visited. and i happened to think that you know, the way rush, it kind of combats. what we do this proxy work in ukraine is they kind of go make deals with our adversaries. first, putting the non to north korea, we saw that he went into cuba. yeah, that was interesting. that was very, very interesting. and he bought his whole cabinet. i think he's kinda playing them . i think like when we think that what this put in guys about, i mean he's a play a full truck. i really think the figure, the questions a little bit different. right. they don't just want to kind of muscle of back with

military. they want to go in economically and make deals. so we, they made deals in north, right. and whatnot. and now with mongolia. yeah it's, it's a lot like the belt road initiative, and in many ways it goes against some of the status quote that we've seen perhaps before in the world, including what we have done in places like latin america. well, i got more for you on this because there appears to be and this, this is fascinating as well. there appears to be a shake up now that you create a government, the most significant being the resignation of the country's foreign minister. he is dimitra level. he is one of how to do is one of the, some of those bands, man, he is one of your credit, the most recognizable faces on the international stage. and this guy just resigned . i mean, he's a top dog in the biggest fish up there, right? this comes as the russian military, as we all know, as you probably know, if you're watching a lot of independent media has picked up the pace once again and is about to take provost the hub that is essentially sealing the deal on the don't box for the

russians, it's actually becoming apparent that mr. zalinski is gamble when he chose to divert thousands of troops across into the russian border. now working so well might even be back firing. that's not according to me. what do i know about military stuff, right? this is according to a lot of military experts like this retired colonel, who just went on the show on the hill. don't think this is a success on the print side at all. as a matter of fact, i think the time they proved that this hastened their potential military loss. and let me explain why. when you're talking about sending between 15 and 20000 total soldiers into the country, the size of russia, there's literally no chance that that can have any kind of success. because russia just has too many resources, personnel, emulation, air, power, etc. and that is basically a deadman walking. it's not going to be too much longer before russia is going to put this alex, by the way, i mean i've been monitoring. this is the same stuff you'll hear on bbc, cnn. there's a lot of western analysts malware saying this,

saying they don't see how this could end up. well for them. i know the russians did not take their troops from the dumbass and move them there. so, same old, same old right now, right. but perhaps the most public set back and the most a kind of embarrassing incident of late for ukraine is the crash of a us taxpayer funded of 16. you know, i paid for this thing and it's starting to look like the plane crash was simply a case of some type of incompetence. and what's the dead giveaway for that? the commit, the commander of the ukraine air force was fired right after the crash. listen. the fire united firing on the head of your brains air force me call last trip comes the day after news broke of an f. 16 pilot's crashing. what was after posting to dismissal, present zalinski in this evening address and said his country's military needs to be strengthened at the command level. questions are swirling here tonight about what caused the loss of one of the precious few f sixteens. this country has. and

one of the precious few pilots who can fly them. you know, when you put all of this together, craig, bringing you back into this conversation. it just, you know, somebody might say, well, of what is the situation because they've got a lot of different information. western media says ukraine is killing them, you know, and other mediums they were actually winning. and a lot of people feel like, well, what's the truth seems to me trying to be objective about this. things do not look good right now for the landscape government. if nothing else, mean a lot of people are being fired. a lot of people are quitting the 16 incident, the, the, the, the don't boss situation where the russians are about to take problem of the situation and curse is really not working unless i'm getting this completely wrong . it doesn't look well, i think you might be getting a little bit wrong because i think you have to define what winning and losing it is . there's a hot war and there's an information. yeah. as long as the money keeps following for this, the scandal of it is pure event scheme. that seems to be funneling a lot of money back into the us government. we saw the ex scandal. yeah. they went

so by going into curse, even though it was a dead man walking this situation. like you said, the russians that did not come in any troops from the dom, best to go back. they're just using the troops they have over there and they're not allowing them to lead. by the way, what's interesting about that is doesn't look at this point like the russians are all excited about going in there and taking these guys out there still there. yeah, it's like okay, you want to capture this much of the country in this big and that's okay. we'll get to you. yeah. yeah, that seems to be what they're saying. i mean, again, what do i know but know you're, you're, you're on the nose because they're breaking further in the front lines over by the dump. yeah, so they're moving in, but the information for that the united states wants to have so they can get more money flowing. they can throw up these headlines at the ukrainians, have gotten into russian territory and now all of a sudden baby baby, those checks, they'll keep flowing. you know, i've always thought that like this is, this is horrible. and i feel bad even saying this because i hope people really don't think like that. i've always thought there's gotta be somewhere somewhere, someone somewhere out there who when they see you or me or some other anderson

cooper, you know, somebody on fox or somebody report that a f 16 has just been down there. like that's the other one. yeah. we get the bill than other ones. that is great. the other $200.00 know you dollars or whatever that or what, what you're spending can be got. i'd hate to think that people are, but that's really what this is all about. people making a lot of money on military hardware. i think the proof is input and we've seen it for quite some time. you can hear people like lindsey graham will fight to the last russian. they don't care as long as that money to lower the last you for any yeah, the last you printing know for you and not our troops. right. and they can sell that to the public is all ukrainian. and we just got a fund, them to stop who kind of would hope to say, i would like to think that's not the case, but i'll tell you it's it's, it's hard to look at it that not look at it that way. given what we're seeing right . now, by the way, there is perhaps only one country in the world that is more obedient to israel than the united states countries, the u. k. as you probably know, but now for the very 1st time we're seeing kink in that armor,

listen to what the british foreign secretary just recently announced the problem time for me, the house today. the assessment i have received the recently unable to conflict. anything other than that, the section u. k. on is that suppose to israel, that does exist a clear risk that they might still commit will facilitate a serious sponsorship of international humanitarian and basically saying, we're not going to give you all of this stuff. we promise you, because i think we, you might be committing some more crimes according to, you know, the united nations at all. right. it's not all the funding by the way. they're only taking 30 percent or something like that. so i'm figure this $355.00 of the systems and they're denying them 30 of them or something like that. but it's a significant message that they're sending. and it seems obvious that if the u. k is funding israel's war. you would think they would have the right then they let me put it to you this way. if you come to me and you say, hey rick,

i need some money. i'm gonna start a business. can i give you? i don't know what i gave you $50000.00 to start your business. i have a right to call you once in a while and ask you how you're using my money and what you're doing. and it seems like it's real is mad because the united states, and in this case, the u. k. how dear they tell us what to do with their money right to them. it seems like simple. it does seem simple, right? but i think the problem is that is real controls are governmental, half are members of congress, have dual citizenship with israel. and when israel says goes, this goes all way back to the s s liberty. you know, when the israel song, one of our tried to sing one of our vessels and they told us what they were going to do. the same thing that goes with english. i mean, look at jeremy corporate. he couldn't see anything without his whole congress attacking in the par with an attack on you. 95 percent of the people who are politicians and congress and, and the senate are beholding to the israeli lobby. and these really lobby works at the behest of the as really government. so by the way, isn't that interference election and it should be yeah, that's,

that's the real election. it appears. correct. and you mentioned, but in camp when you say the ip i keep saying crazy things, that should be careful. well, you gotta be careful because they'll come for you. and, and at this point though, i mean, or israel is saying, look, we're not sure you're doing the right thing and we're going to hold the whole you, we're going to take back some of the money. it's kind of interesting us isn't doing that. no, not yet. nor will they know, i mean, you'll get some web service with people in our congress eventually to as well. but at the end of the day, those checks that i come refund is real, more than we fund any country out there right now is where a lot of our money goes and our foreign policy. so same goes as your of all of your france and we are allies, could pass the jar. do next, man, good conversation with you. when we come back, we're going to return to our focus of ukraine, the latest on the battlefield, the 16. you know, there's lots of lots as americans, it's new, there's lots to talk about the try understand as well, taking both sides into consideration when we're kind of got

a visual my goal is going to join us in just a little bit spectrum will be right back the, [000:00:00;00]

the if you think about russia, what is your mind picture the the landscapes open up before your eyes, the water one does you imagine the the discount starts the journey, the the you ready to come along the a welcome back. i'm rick sanchez and i'm gonna be drawing now by an expert in geo politics and his own right is a former pentagon official, michael maloof. he's been

a frequent guest of our show and he and i've got to know each other over the years and he's good enough to join us now. so michael, i said a little while ago when i was speaking with craig that and i'm trying to be as much a neutral observer as i possibly can in a word. busy where there appears to be very little neutrality, but that it does look like things are rolling down hill for the government of the lensky or the ukrainian government. when you start seeing people leaving the government, when you see people quitting, like the head of foreign affairs in a country, when you start seeing the commander of the air force be fired because a plane crashed. and when you see the situation, it's developing and curse which even our military officials, people like you are saying objectively that's not going to work. you can help. but look at this and wonder what can be next for ukraine. save on our pairing

a weapons from the west. i guess. i don't know. how do you see, michael? well, i see it as, um, as, as this thing coming to a close very, very quickly. and i also see uh russia now going to be testifying his efforts to, to hit infrastructure inside of, of ukraine, only to get ukraine to finally stop it's, it's a, it's actions. it's a, it's a little aggressions if you will. because uh if the war is over and sped over for almost a year, really, you say it's been over for most of the year. there's nobody in who watches any television in the united states or in any western country who would agree with that or even understand how you can say something like that because they've been watching all these reports, towing them out a while ukraine was doing well it's, it's it hasn't been in, and the fact the fact is that it hasn't been for quite some time. it's,

it's last tremendous numbers of troops. it's a ammunition, it's, it's, it's a warm machine is, is, it is not working. it's a basic fundamental, military doctrine. it hasn't been working against russia, and a lot of that has to do with tactics, strategies. the fact that they didn't have air power. yeah. their power and they based a lot of their tactics on western ways which requires air power to protect the troops to um yeah, to, to go to, to stop the tanks, to, to do away with the land mine. that's what brushes have. yeah. i, you know, it's under the to lay these minds. it's funny you said that because i remember you're saying it sounds western. remember when we 1st went into iraq and then the big general from tampa, what was his name and you know him, you probably work for him. but he came out in his news conferences and he would always say, we control the theater through the air. we control the theatre through the air and as long as we have air superiority,

we will take the iraq these down and fast and he was right. they essentially did and i guess that's that, that's what you're saying that we were trying to do that that we're trying to do now spend the western strategy. yeah. you're towards cost you towards the golf. just came to my head, sorry, general schwarzkopf, but you know, that was there in desert shield, desert storm. and we immediately had to establish air superiority. and once we achieve that, and that didn't occurred on my watch, it was, um, it was, everything was a and the come attic after that. it actually showed the russian tanks that weren't that iraq was using was, were obliterated. but that's not the case today. so here's what i think you're kind of saying, and a lot of people may be saying it seems like both sides. mr. zalinski and mr. pokin sides are both trying to come up with the best scenario to get the best deal for when they finally come up. with some kind of truths, i'm gonna,

i'm gonna try and improve my lot or mind negotiate in space by going into your space says, i guess, semesters lensky by going into the curse. full blast. and mr. button on the other hand is saying, oh yeah, well i'm going to go further and longer and harder into the don't batch in the problem and places like that. so let me, yeah, and you say it's a month, maybe it's 2 months. maybe it's a year. i don't know, but at some point they're going to come together and they're gonna have to negotiate this thing. who's going to be in a better position and go to they have to come to ultimately to negotiate. this is what mr. newton is putting the pressure on the landscape to do now and, and he's going to be in increasing this is activities to, to uh, to get more of the infrastructure. yeah. who has other considerations. he doesn't want to appear to the outside world that he is trying to not only sweep through ukraine and then take europe or anything like that. but he also doesn't want to chase away countries that want to belong to the bricks. and he's beginning to be

quite successful about and bringing those countries in. and they see us the ability of a part of, of a in the way that he's been handling things. he hasn't gone on board and, and trying to wipe off the ukrainians, the population. if it's early, it's just not happening, but he is going to be increasing going after military targets in order to bring this thing to the conclusion real fast because we will be approaching winter here pretty cents. and that will and any decree and probably wouldn't be able to survive that. why, what makes winter so special explained to me is that a military thing? they, their, their energy resources is in the ukraine will be absolutely. crust is hitting the infrastructure of their, their, their electricity. uh, errors are being overtaken that are being destroyed. so, and that's why, and they have very limited amounts compared to what russian might. yeah,

that's what you always hear. your opinions might be, it is some of the oil and gas, the re resources in russia. it doesn't compare to a few strikes on into the ukraine. i know, obviously russia is a bigger country with more people, a bigger army, more resources, more everything. and ukraine has to depend on the west to give them whatever they can give them. and a lot of western countries are now saying, look guys, i mean, we've given you all, we can give you where we're done. we can continue to give him stuff. and what's your, which is a problem you, which is a problem for them. obviously, you're going to be seeing that now because we're approaching our own elections and people are, are fed up and you hear trump now say look, he's going to have, he's going to talk to about trying to resolve this thing once and for all he wants to sit down and talk to him and approach totally different from the buying heiress administration. yeah, no, it is. and it's a, it's, it's a fair point to meg. i'm wondering, you were mentioning about the, the, uh, the winter conditions for war. and since you know a lot about this, you're a military guy. what about terrain? who,

who has the advantage in winter or does either side have an advantage given that there might be snow on the ground or whatever happens and you create in the winter . while the ground will be hard and case control, but russian will have the advantage. why? yeah, well, you trade has very few very few bags in comparison, less than a logistical train to maintain these western states is very much more sophisticated . and the production of tanks by russia is it's like 5 times that of what or maybe even more than what the ukrainians have. so they're, they're prepared to roll it out even more and not withstanding drones. i'm with them. and, and the russians also have count counter measures where they, for the ukrainian drones now. and so it's, it's a losing proposition for the ukrainians. why don't question that we have about a minute? do you think in the end this will all just come down to the russian side saying, look we, we got the dumbass, we're going to keep

a dumbass. you promised that you're not going to join nato and that the west is not going to be putting missiles next to us. and we're ready to sign a piece deal. well, they could have done that 2 years ago. what after minutes come on to minutes too late and then after they were actually started, they could have signed an agreement which what had been initial by the respective uh, negotiators on both. yeah. but yeah, but at the time they bought it. but at the time ukraine had the promise of the west making them super ma'am. that's right. so now that's about really there. i think that's over. yeah. yeah. so it's not over. and what you're going to be seeing now will be the russians putting this increasing pressure. they realize we have an election coming up and they're going to want to get this thing done with the i think even before our own election. it's fascinating. it's a great conversation, michael. i'm so glad we had a chance to catch up your smart guy. thanks, michael. god bless. see you later. that's our show to remember to always look outside your own box. when you're looking for truth construes,

they don't live in boxes. they're everywhere. the truth is, i'm expect us, we'll be looking for you next time of the 1943 at the height of world war 2, bengal was hit by famine. a year before jeff and he's troops drove the rate is out of neighboring vermont and came close to the indian possessions of the british empire. london's response to the threat was completely inadequate. the british actively used the scorched earth policy. while retreating, they turned everything around them into an uncouth deserts,

having no mercy on other people's territory. food in large amounts was exported to great britain from the starving provinces. boats used for fishing and transporting food along the river system more confiscated from the local population. the barbaric actions of the colonial administration led to monstrous consequences can a year up to 3800000 people die from starvation and disease caused by mail nutrition. the old great britain itself had enough resources to overcome the disaster. at the same time, 170000 tons of australian wheat made its way bass, starving in the debris. it is aisles. i hate indians. they are a beastly people with a beastly religion. the famine was their own fault for breeding like rabbits, british prime minister, winston churchill commented on the reports of the tragedy. the payment of 1943 became the climax in the british policy of genocide against the indian population. according to historians,

from 12 to 29000000 people overall died from starvation alone during reign of the british in india, the russian states never as one of the most sense community. best of all sun set up the same assistance as being 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 cruising and split the r t spoke back, keeping our video agency roughly all the band on youtube, the fitness center. for the question, did you say steven twist,
