i, let's take this lie, her heart international and crossing over to our contributor rachel marston. hey, rachel, great to see you. what, what, what would e, you can remember? status actually mean for the ukrainian people and i guess i would ask, is it a top concern for ukrainians these days amid the ongoing conflict? i did anyone actually asked the ukrainians, fighting whether they're doing it to join the european union or would that be news to the fellows actually doing the heavy lifting on the front lines. whatever happened to the idea of fighting until victory against russia? is that not motivating enough? apparently not. zalinski said last summer that ukraine would fight quote until the end. and now the ukranian president sounds more like a personal training client who's beer belly isn't budging. and who's now demanding that his coach find some incentives to keep getting him to show up and put in the blood and sweat while the coach keeps caching in on the struggle. in this particular case, that coach would be nato. and the incentive that zalinski now seems to be demanding is euro

or costing life now to contribute to rachel marston dash she has. rachel, always good to see you. so as america's top officials have been touring, mineral rich africa and the middle east, stick in hand, carrot nowhere to be seen. we now have germany's top boss touring latin america, apparently with a rather large appetite for mineral resources. does that sound about right, rachel? yeah. short follows natural resources around the world like a group. he follows a rock band last year. he was obsessed with score and gas, which wasn't a very good look for a guy who keeps openly fantasizing about ditching fossil fuels. so now he's in south america begging for lithium, which is needed to power his dream dreams as the key component of electric car batteries. for example, schultz is hitting up. she lay the world's 2nd largest supplier and argent tina, which isn't too far behind it. the ross states that think that all materials come from china, but this is not true. many roman heroes in fact come, for example, from argentina or chilly, get shipped to china, a process there and sold again. t

running or a base entropy while the discuss this further, let's cross lot of talk to contribute a, rachel marston, rachel. good to see you. we're constantly seeing, we're constantly hearing western countries promising you have more weapons, more military aid. that seems to be bearing fruit for t if now what's on the table this time around. while all eyes were on the tanks issue, this time around, it doesn't look like ukrainian president vladimir zalinski will be getting the latest and greatest german and u. s. tanks, which are right at the very top of his wish list right now. so no shiny new toys, just a lot of the hand me downs that had already previously been announced. now all eyes were also on nato defense ministers as they met at this ramstein airbase, near frankfort. on friday. you asked his friend secretary lloyd austin, basically just use the opportunity to ask america's allies to tossed more cash into the pot for the u. s. military industrial complex. oh, i mean, ukraine military support spoken like a true board member temporarily refused for 4 years by the way. and stockholder that he i

as cos live now, to archie, contributor rachel marston, good. even see a, rachel, what more can you tell us about this comments by the creation presidents and the mood in europe in general? so european officials had been running around here cheering about the relatively warm weather and acting like it's an ally. an actor deliberately siding with the e u, against russian president vladimir putin and russia by pushing the brick wall of energy shortage. that the you faces after cutting itself off from rushing gas just a bit further down the line, kind of delaying the inevitable. hey, but you know what? we're and whether i isn't doing absolutely nothing to bring the cost of living down for the average person. so there's a disconnect between this optimistic attitude shown by european government officials and the costly reality that the average citizen is still facing here. a fact that clearly hasn't escaped the average person who's still struggling. and i'm gary and prime minister victor or bon, as just pointed out that it's looking increasingly like

we go there's, i think, contributor rachel marston, a very, very good evening to you, rachel. what, what can you tell us about these latest developments already seems like mac hole and the french government are kind of blowing all of it. all french officials are using these caricature of the supreme leader of iran, which her submissions to a contest held last month by the frank satirical magazine, shall yet do to basically say, look, we, the french government aren't going to get involved with whatever a french magazine is doing because we are above that and we believe in free speech . have alyssa does. everyone can move is a pretty teacher said case for you the wrong policies, the one followed by iran, which practices violence against his own populations, which his particularity shall cain. let's remember that in france, press freedom exists contrary to what's happening in iran, and that this is overseen by a judge within the framework of an independent judiciary, which is something that iran knows little about. so the 20 men. okay, so as you can hear there, they're not only r

as he contributes a rachel marston tells us more therapy in union has long wanted to turbocharged its green energy agenda. 2022 was a year. they realized that their tank was on empty because while they sanctioned their own gas supply from russia. so after years of banging on about the fantasy of fueling the european industrial economy by praying for solar powered, sunny days and sufficient when to turn landscape destroying windmills. europe realize this year that that plan is far from ready for prime time and they were desperate. so the blocks industrial engine, germany started firing back up coal plants, france scramble to blow the rust off of its decommissioned nuclear power plants, both casualties of the blocks green energy obsession, newly appointed prime minister of britain. re she soon arc preached to the climate change faithful ahead of the to cop 27 climate summit. he said he was going to turn the u k, into a green energy superpower. but apparently he didn't get the memo that britain was on the verge of opening its 1st coal mine in decades, or that coal was so badly needed in

offices in paris, after the magazine published cartoons of the prophet muhammad to r t contributor rachel marston gives her take her, the french government has rejected taking any responsibility in the matter of the latest cover. instead accusing a run of suppressing free speech. oh, really seems like mac hole and the french government are kind of blowing all of it . all french officials are using these caricature of the supreme leader of iran, which were submissions to a contest held last month by the french satirical magazine chandelier, due to basically say, look, we, the french government aren't going to get involved with whatever a french magazine is doing because we are above that and we believe in free speech, have a listen. does everyone can, i'm of is a pretty teacher said case for you the wrong policies, the one followed by iran, which practices violence against his own populations, which is particularly shocking. let's remember that in france, press freedom exists contrary to what's happening in iran, and that this is overseen by a judge within the framework of an independent judiciary

as he contributes to rachel, marston takes a closer look at newland so called achievements. the u. s. senate foreign relations committee held a hearing on thursday that kind of slipped under the radar in the mainstream press . but it's really a classic example of how washington decision makers get drunk on their own nonsense . and then just start trying to change the world. the subject of this hearing was countering russian aggression, ukraine and beyond. and. and despite being with the democrats right now and victoria f e u newland, we'll get to that. the 2nd who's now serving at the state department as under secretary of state for political affairs in the biden administration, new and can't help but side with republican senator ted cruz. when it comes to being relieved that the nord stream to pipeline that was supposed to send russian gas into europe via germany was blown up center cruise up like you. i am. and i think the administration is very gratified to know that nordstrom, too, is now as you like to say, a hunk of metal at the bottom of the sea. that would be senator ted cr

let's get the opinions here of archie, contributor rachel marston online. as the green europe is fueling a black gold rush in the u. s. the nation's power authority, the energy information ministration, just announced the gas production has had a record high and it's set to spike even higher this year. and the great gas station, i mean, the great state of texas also achieved a record personal best for natural gas output. exxon mobil hit the jackpot with record profits last year of $55000000000.00. so guess what? that means. green dreamers, it's big oil spending spree time. here comes another new exxon power plant for you to protest. scheduled for 2027 or 2028. sure. it's a higher than plant, but how's that hydrogen going to be produced? hydrogen is mostly produced from fossil fuels, inconvenient, dirty little secret there, but hey, that's okay, because exxon says it's going to bury that carbon footprint in the ground. and, well, who cares about the ground? right? it's not like it's air so big victory for the big oil bros in america, but not so great for eur
