before the attack on yemen, the coordinator for strategic communications of the white house national security councilrters the following, answering a question about the supply of weapons to ukraine, we issued the latter. from the existing reserves for the support of which we had funding , that is, ukraine will no longer have weapons, it is clear that this is temporary, while the american senate is showing off by helping zelensky against russia, without signing the documents they so need for billions of dollars, but somehow new the war in yemen will greatly disturb vladimir alexandrovich, because it clearly will not contribute to the continuation of his personal banquet, he received a very clear signal in these winter months, when weapons and... they especially need them along with dollars to finance the economy during the heating season, and this is difficult. the white house says that there is no money for the war, and a couple of hours later it starts a war in yemen, for which there is money. that’s how i see zelensky’s surprised face that night and his classic squeal, what a yemen. i’ll add from m

and their american sponsors do not take all this into account, employees of the white house national... security councillvan held a closed meeting with representatives of military companies industrial complex, discussed what else to supply to kiev. the conversation focused on a range of systems that include drones, how to counter incoming drones, and addressing the issue of mine clearance. it is known that on at the meeting were representatives of the anduril company, they produce attack drones that are launched from helicopters or from pickup trucks from the ground, and also design automatic radars and unmanned interception systems. representatives of skydio also participated; the company specializes in all kinds of reconnaissance drones. on the promo videos, as always, everything looks epic, how it will actually happen and whether it will happen is the question. the supply of equipment directly depends on whether congress approves the allocation of $60 billion for armaments to kiev, where they are already literally praying to washington. helping ukraine is not a subject for discussion and the task is

he's a former senior director for middle east affairs at the white house national security council. think the key thing for the president is that there has to be a very clear line when it comes to the killing of american personnel. and so whatever responses he may have had in the past two have had in the past to attacks on us facilities, attacks on us interests, any response to the killing of american servicemen needs to be much more significant so that iran in particular, but also iran's proxies, receive the message that this simply won't be tolerated. in the past we have been engaged in this sort of tit—for—tat with iranian proxies and i anticipate whatever the us now does in retaliation will go well beyond those previous responses. who do they target, though, michael? you talk about iranian—backed proxies here, but yet the secretary and president have said they believe iran trains these individuals, resources them, they have a role in the planning as well. who does the us target at that point, is it iran or someone else? that's always the crux of this debate inside the us governm

the national security council, the director of national intelligence in the white house. there is no way that the senior officer in charge of the secretary of defense dependent gone, would have any health issue that would suspend his service of duties. that the people in the white house or the state department wouldn't know what know and know about if he so much is stuck to his toe or broke his finger. it would reverberate throughout the intelligence community. as a warning that alternative plans may need to be developed it's, it's called alternative means of government because there always have to be senior level people in the defense department in the secretary of state's office in the c i a in the white house. so these claims that uh, the white house in the state department didn't know about lloyd austin's medical issue is a complete fraud in lie. they knew exactly what it was, but that tells me they're covering something up there covering something else more dire and problem matter. and finally, the war and gossip has and said, it's full month with the debt. so now ap

and then john covey at the white house national security council spokesman saying, we're not in a position to confirm a specific reports on how it happened to who is responsible. i basically don't have any great detail on who was responsible. no indication of israel was responsible. so they, we, i was all on the record, but then just in the last hour, we finally got a response from us central command, which is the, the, the military come on in charge of them, at least amongst other, among other regions. our news ask here in dc, it actually helps them over 24 hours ago. say would you have any information about the assassination they finally on? so just in the last hour, and it's a matter of fact, good afternoon. the strike was ms. riley strike. please refer will questions to ideas. very respectfully, something called media that's. that's what this, what appear to be thought about pasting that. so it may be anonymous officials or the name on this or sent call immediate us. but anonymously, they all, were you thinking that i mean it's pretty clear i know exactly who carried out this assassina

this was reported by the strategic coordinator at the briefing white house national security councilrector john kirby. let's hear what kirby had to say. our information indicates that the democratic people's republic of korea recently... provided russia with launchers and several dozen ballistic missiles. on december 30 , 2023, russian forces launched at least one of these north korean missiles over ukraine. it apparently hit an open field in the zaporizhzhia region, and on january 2, 2024, russia launched several north korean missiles over ukraine. consequences of this attack are still being evaluated. considering that north korea is constantly under international sanctions, mr. general, can north korea's assistance to the russian federation in the war against ukraine be perceived as co-aggression. or complicity, i think, yes to the fullest extent, we have a clear confirmation of their use of ammunition, they really are more, they probably help ukraine by breaking the arrows and shooting at it when necessary, but that is another story, i think that they should have been included in

this was admitted by the coordinator for strategic communications at the white house national security councilitary assistance that washington announced on december 27 was the last of those that the states could provide to the kiev regime without a legislative decision. will mean a strong loss of votes among representatives of the hispanic population who have a negative attitude towards trump's policies to limit migration. in any in this case, the united states will have little money, even if the situation develops favorably. israel urgently needs support; it lacks resources, weapons, money, which is why they are forced to withdraw some of the reservists from the gas sector, so it is almost 100% possible. called for the transfer of long -range missiles to ukraine for strikes against russia and demanded tougher sanctions against moscow. he called this answer in a language understandable to putin, accordingly. missile systems in canada or mexico? whenever he would allow russia to place candidate kennedy is confident that americans simply need to put themselves in the shoes of the russians. today

jake sullivan, chairman of the white house national security council, called the meeting to push formphasis on helping ukraine overcome these key technological challenges. challenges they identified as holding back progress and. momentum on the battlefield, and accordingly, the representatives of the american administration hope that the government will be able to promote the use of these innovations in ukraine, but still the key story is a large aid package from the united states, we understand that if there really is this large macro-financial package, well, then it will be possible to talk about impulses and about a general strategic change in the course of the war, yes , but... let's see, let's keep our fists. so, and estonia, by the way, is already thinking about how it will help us in the following years, and in fact, will provide military aid to ukraine for a quarter of a percent of its gdp over the next four years. this was announced by the prime minister of the baltic country, kaya kalas. well, he says that if each country contributes a quarter of a percent, this is what ukr
