A good deal of that invasion force hope for unusually high, they can quickly finish the job. Its not worked out that way. And now new reporting tonight that theres going concerned among western allies, but ukraines counter offensive. And its fate. In a moment. Well talk to a retired 3 star general for his take. But 1st, the exclusive reporting from scene. Actually, im sure to look, its 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 aint going well, pardon the 8, then it must truly not be going well a. And then theres this. They recently did a poll there at the cnn, my old colleagues, which has it for the very 1st time ever. A majority of americans are now against continuing this and billions and billions of dollars to 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 the need to send money to ukrainians rank above the signed release funds to americans and not thats the reality. No matter what position you are on, thats what americans are asking themselves these days and ask yourself why this is happening. How about the money we do send to you credit because its, i think this is important part of this, which by the way is a lot how is it accounted for . Lets start with just some basic numbers. Congress approve some 113000000000 dollars and aid to your grand last year and know its a hard number to kind of nailed down because youll get different figures somehow unless youre even saying the real figure is 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 doesnt happen again. By the way, what happened enough to understand you probably notice maybe you dont. 19000000000. 00. 19000000000. 00 was lost to waste fraud abuse. Who knows . Just disappeared into thin air type 2000000000. 00. Thats 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. Democrats right now, and congress are actually saying, its okay, we dont need to audit the money to ukraine. If it is a 137000000000. 00, youre saying a 137000000000. 00 is just the audit good. Now if youre asking, are they actually turning down the oversight of the funds . Are they really doing that as to what we saw happened in afghanistan and iraq and, and in other countries . Yep. Yep, exactly. Thats exactly what they seem to be doing. It seems crazy. No, as a taxpayer anyway. So heres 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 theyre crashing. The Russian Military and it sounds like it might be the right time for congress, maybe the by the 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. The wrong again. In fact neil 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 dont have his words. Proving once again that nato is to me. A cons. What squirrels are the dogs . Theyre obsessed by a mitt romney . Heres 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 before our president ial candidate, assuming that suggests that we should set new as 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 wouldnt 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 em, but 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 dont know. The, lets talk about this. I dont even know right here in the studio. We have uh, michael milofa former uh, kind of got official as well as garlic nixon who is uh, co host of google. Our. Im not radios there. All right, thanks guys. So glad youre here. I dont, i guess we gotta start with the we have spent mr. Me lose a 137000000. 00. How does theres a 1000000000. 00 . Its in ukraine, and people are actually saying, we dont need the audited. We trust our government. How crazy does that sound good . Its of noxious and, and its, its 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 f, cant even out of here in favor that we need to give them tons of money to ukraine to do whatever the hell is that they want to do with it. You still should be good, right . Well, especially if you compare it to afghanistan to what happened in afghanistan, we see that the, um, extremely high numbers of, of fraudulent a operate here at economic operations to where we saw the, the weapons that were left behind. And basically it was in the atm machine for the military Industrial Complex for, for years. Okay. But yes, actually domino stuff youre talking about are getting stabbed. In this case, were talking about ukraine, who has a democratic form of government, a very honorable and respected leadership, including mister sa lensky. And theres 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 sold 400. 00 all or 400000000. 00. You got to do to more than your fair share. Sarah, sarah, or some of the other people, they understand whats going here on here. They cant do an audit because they already know the level of criminality thats going on here. You think thats really what you think they know if we were to do an audit, theyre going to find out that these guys are taking the money zaleski recently fired. I dont know, but a good bachelor of people in his government and he said, the reason im firing them is because theyre all corrupt. So they complained because he wasnt sharing that money, that he was doing everything. The people he fired were actually a part of the deal. They, 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 democrat 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 by the here, heres the problem. When the n d a comes up in the, in the, in the senate and the house for a conference committee, thats where youre going to see the brouhaha. Its attached to the Defense Authorization bill. Were talking to michael, believe hes a former, authentic, unofficial. And also. Busy the next in 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 hitlers, not the military of the crane is a democracy button is hitler whos trying to take over the world and the ukrainians by far are winning this whole thing. Which of those things is true or not true, none of them is true and, and its a binding administration, but is controlling the multi they the mass media in this country and saying what they want to for him to start the meal. Carmichael, ill disagree with you. Over to the neo cons or controlling that message, i really dont think it has that. What youre doing. All right victoria, no matter who you put in there, theyre going to get the same as victoria new and shes, shes the deputy acting deputy secretary of state. Now, 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 they didnt the need, then the icons will, will look for any more. So its, its, its a push democracy. Thats my point that im making to you. And ill bring you this, the end to this carlon 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 were talking about as an ideology, and were not talking about you joe biden. In fact, there are many me being one who believe the joe biden isnt 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 by, they could put a cardboard, cut out of joe by using the same, by the way, let me argue with the what they have now. I dont care if hes incompetent or not competent, or if he can speak or if his brain still works, even before all of that. Hes always been a pain war guy. Theres a war guy, right . Yes. I wouldnt think 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, theyve been consistent. Victoria newland, was dick cheneys assistant to your policy was she was Hillary Clintons assistant under brock obama. She missed a little bit of time under trump and shes back. So this is a ideological strain that has come to power and they are doing what the they do. So look, heres 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 whats actually happening in the theatre 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. The handle is rick sanchez, tv. Thats rick sanchez, tv, and we can have a conversation like the one were having here and ill look for you there. By the way, when we come back, well have money for ukraine ever. Dry up, or are we being led into a hot wheels with your port when we come back . Dont go with the the i look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. A robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except were so shorter is that conflict with the 1st law show alignment of the patient. We should be very careful about our personal intelligence. The point obviously is to make a truck rather than to the area. I mean with the Artificial Intelligence we have summoning the theme in the a robot must protect this phone. Existence was alexis the, im a single, a single who moved from a suite google news. Im losing this week and its because of the some of the go. So by itself, you can use that is to stick, afford, according that took a gamble unless youre willing to order these voided. Whats the key of know what it means, you will actually automate room. There are silicone. You do pardon, you have to assume the point choose. The delusion is lesliey boss and the restroom got open in volume with zillow. So as for next friday, so told me to go to see if we could set up a Football Game on the last place. So if you missed the a say welcome back. Im like sanchez, what were talking about is how congress our Congress Just doesnt 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 calling over to ukraine and were joined once again by our panel. Michael maloof, former beneficial, as well as got a mix up. Who is the co host of the critical our 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 theyre going to take on the world. And weve got to and china, and were going to take off with, you know, and, and, and rush, it just seems like theyre living in the 1950s or something. Is it me or are they crazy . What i saw was a bunch of 10 to talking points, and i, when i watch that, and i watched trump or i watched, and joe rogan, youd 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 could make the government smaller than you. Oh, i can drill more than you. People have had enough of that. They cant pay their rent, their house has been burned down. So what do you, what do you think . And im glad you made 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 were seeing. Pete, they, the American People know better now they, theyve seen it with their own eyes. Weve lived through 20, some odd years of war and we get, were 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 heres as an a marick and what i want to know is tomorrow, President Biden called president , put in and called president s a 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. Lets try and figure out how we can come to some kind of drews or some kind of arrangement here with this ukraine situation. As anybody even try to do that, do we care to do this . Its not in our interest. Right . Again, its not in the us, so peace is not in our interest. Thats correct. And why did we hell of a thing to say, you know, why did we expand nato . The way we did when, when the warsaw pact went away after, after the fall of the soviet union. So youre saying that report that said that the former Prime Minister of Great Britain went over there and literally told to lensky, do not agree to anything. We dont want this thing to stop that. Its probably drove at it. Hed probably did. Yes. I would say he did anything that was not for good or 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 its simply because the us plan this, i mean you, all you have to do is look at the grand chessboard, the things a big new brzezinski is a book for years. The us as telegraph, that all they want it was to get new crane into shopping ukraine up at night like a knife and the cutting brushes root with it. And theyve 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 then of ukraine at why, because they wanted to begin an isolation of russia. This is all aimed at at containing russia and m 2 and, and now china. And now you hear the head of nato stoughton burg, whos saying we need now to expand nato into the, into the into 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 im reading in certain places. Is it true . Yes it is. And theyre, theyre 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 man to, to be be so in other words, the trying to take people off the streets and get them. Yeah. Because they to yeah, ive seen some of those videos as well as happening, and weve confirmed a few of them. Okay, so lets, lets make this argument right. Garland play along with me here. Ukraine is in a tough spot. It really is running out of reinforcements. While its trying to tell the world that its having success in this counter offensive, what happens when youre out of your soldiers . Whos gonna fight collapse . Thats the way this thing is and its 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 popular government, theyre just puppets of the neo cons to come back to reality and to discuss with the rest of the issues. Not to mention, theyve had a number of agreements with russia, the minutes go chords. What means 12, et cetera. Russia is not going to believe them again. So theyre just going to fight and theyre 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 . The ill say this. We wouldnt if we could, but we cant. So we, well, we actually dont have the troops. We actually, were being demilitarised along with ukraine. What does that mean . That means that we dont 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 dont have the ability to do that is my opinion is i do think theres a political. Busy sense or movement or even need to do that . Are there people in this country, your friends at the pentagon or near ponds . Maybe a little crazy or the new . 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 dont think thats. Thats not the flavor of the thing. Even the crazy is wont 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 dont 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 mean, thats crazy. So crazy talk here would be what we want more to write. Yeah. So like i envision a country like poland, poland has been various sort of, you know, over there. There are the ones who are buying new military equipment, whether its from us, from japan. And they are using nato ultimately to re gain portions of whats ukraine that they historically occupied at one time as well as bell roofs. So ive seen where basically youre going to be confronted with getting into one of their 18th century wars and everything and the 21st century. And i think the model, this is what worries me the theater right now is russia against ukraine, right . Yeah, my concern is the theater and 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 next in line. And the cannon fodder line is, is poland. The problem is poland, but they can feel maybe a 150000 troops. They 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, if, if that happens and polish soldiers go in, poland is a part of data. Correct . Yeah. Isnt there an agreement that says if the russians then attack bali, the soldiers, then the whole of nato has to go in art . Is that correct . Doesnt apply if they go into ukraine and they fight and you create article 5 wouldnt. Thats all right. Not apply. Thats correct. Okay. Okay. But theres a, theres a distinction there. And youre absolutely correct the, the, the if, if, if they do a bilateral thing without approval of nato. Its article 5. They are political and well leave this because we dont want to turn this into a segment about public. But do you believe theres a political will in poland from both the people in the middle additions to do Something Like this . Maybe the politicians, the not the people, even your you look at listen to your listen to jeremy, listen to france or sick of it. In fact, their economies are wrecked. Theyre not, theyre gonna, its gonna take a decade or 2 for them to re gain their quality of living and they had prior to all this. And its and wait until this winter, this winter is going to be bad while the ukrainians, if its true, as weve 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, is that why havent they fared well with all the inquiry talk to 137000000000 dollars worth of equipment . Well, but i mean, lets, lets face it. You know, if youve 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 us to put the ukrainian, which is the strongest proxy army that the u. S. Has ever had, but its still a proxy army. It doesnt have an effective air force and its not a legitimate military match for the russian army. They never had, it sounds like youre saying we expected too much of them. Well, no. Theres what we expected was for them to engage russia. We could then use economic coersion to take russia out, mark that didnt happen. We didnt have another answer. Ill, ill give you the last word on this. I think were down to 32nd. Yeah. Where they were, theyve always been trained for defense of friday, not how offensive. And thats why all of their doctrine has been geared towards the defensive. And thats why its the russians have a history of being able to counter that. They have an effective counter offensive. Thats what i see happening. Im hearing they got weeks to train some of these people. I know its in urban, somebody even though its, its not actively, no longer trained somebody you cant train someone to run through a minefield. Theres no way to get through that. Kind of nixon micro maloof. Thanks to book. 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 and watches the silo, the world, right . Weve got to stop living in these little boxes where you only know your true. Maybe not your neighbors try to stop the boxes everywhere. Public sandra, ill be looking for you again, right here. Failed to provide some direct impact the the the, the 1st 3rd of the 19th century was marked by the aggressive expansion of the United States. The american sought to seize as much territory for a settlement as possible. Ignoring the sovereignty of the neighboring states and the interests of the Indigenous Peoples in 1845, washington announced the annexation of the mexican texas. And in march, 1846, american troops invaded mexico. However, mexico itself did not have enough means to effectively confront the enemy. Besides, it was being torn apart by internal conflicts. The americans manage to turn the tide of the war in their favor. In september 18, 47, the u. S. Army captured mexico city. Mexico was forced to sign a humiliating peace treaty according to wait to get lost 55 percent of its territory. Vieques agent of the lands to the United States led to terrible consequences, bloodshed, genocide was committed against the indians in california. During the 1st half century of the american ruled, the number of the Indigenous People in the region decrease from 150216000 people. Slavery, which had been abolished in mexico long before the United States attack was restored on the occupied territories. This will later become one of the reasons for the civil war in the United States themselves. Nations like individuals are punished for their transgressions. We got our punishment. American president Ulysses Grant wrote about the consequences of aggression against mexico several decades later since the start of the special military operation in ukraine, thousands of volunteers have gone to the war zone. Russian troops, civilians from i think it weighs such seems to be moving to sleep. Google is im losing this way because of the some of the ssl bites and most of the shows please. Yeah, but i said, please do give me a call or master can campbell the international more we all together unite for those who care people from all over russia unless youre willing to order these would it would 6, you know, wouldnt be the one that you later in the army and still room there are risking their lives. They rescue those most in need to go near the pardon me, a call as soon as, according choose this last name possibly. But if it was that you guys are looking to buy a new its newest and was wondering if you wanna do it friday is that the
