00:00Mr. President, you said it's having to do with Iran. We're having very good talks with him.
00:03Mr. President, you said yesterday that Putin is playing with fire.
00:07What would be the consequences for Russia if he continues to, if Russia continues to attack?
00:11Well, I'm not going to tell you exactly, but the words speak pretty loud.
00:16We're not happy about that situation.
00:19I think we're doing very well with Iran.
00:23I think we're doing very well with Gaza.
00:26But we are doing very well with Iran.
00:28And I think we're going to see some some something very sensible because there are only two outcomes.
00:34You know what? The two outcomes is a smart outcome and there's a violent outcome.
00:38And I don't think anybody wants to see the second.
00:42But I think we're we've made a lot of progress and we'll see.
00:45You know, they still have to agree to the final stages of a document.
00:49But I think you could be very well surprised what happens there.
00:52And it would be a great thing for them.
00:54It could have a great country into the future.
00:56Yeah.
00:57This is my video update on this Thursday afternoon, May the 29th, coming to you from Limassol, Cyprus.
01:08Let's talk about some news.
01:13And we have a date and we have a place for the next round of talks between the U.S. and Russia.
01:23Sergei Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister, announced yesterday that on June 2nd in Istanbul, Russian negotiators led by Medinsky and Ukraine negotiators will meet in Istanbul.
01:41I believe June 2nd, I believe June 2nd, that's on a Monday, isn't it?
01:50Yeah, that is on Monday.
01:52So they will be meeting for the second round of talks, but actually the third installation of Russia-Ukraine negotiations.
02:05If you go back to March of 2022, all of which have taken place in Istanbul, you did have negotiations in March 2022, that way in the beginning that took place in Belarus.
02:22And then they shifted to Istanbul, so anyway, Sergei Lavrov names the place, he names the date, and guess what?
02:32Ukraine and Ukraine and the United States, Turkey, they all agreed to it.
02:38So they tried to get the Vatican, they tried to get Geneva, Kellogg was talking about Geneva, and Russia says, nope, we are going to have it in Istanbul and we are going to have it on Monday.
02:53And everyone agreed, which shows you who has the real power and who has the real leverage in these negotiations.
03:01It's not the U.S., and it is definitely not Ukraine or the collective West of the Europeans.
03:07It is Russia.
03:08They are dictating terms.
03:10So, the Ukraine side, they announced yesterday that they have sent their draft memorandum to Russia, and they had to send their draft memorandum to Russia,
03:29because during his Fox News interview, Keith Kellogg let it slip that Ukraine had provided its roadmap for a settlement to the conflict to the United States,
03:45and that he was waiting for Russia's memorandum.
03:49Now, that's not how things were supposed to go down.
03:53Now, the way things were supposed to go down, after Putin had a phone call with Trump, what was agreed on was that Russia would create a draft memorandum,
04:04Ukraine would create a draft memorandum, Russia would share its memorandum with Ukraine, Ukraine would share its memorandum with Russia,
04:13and all of this would happen after the prisoner exchange.
04:16They would share the memorandum, and then they would give the document to the United States.
04:26That was what was agreed on, but Kellogg, in his infinite wisdom, he let it slip that he has already received Ukraine's roadmap,
04:37which was basically Kellogg admitting that it is the United States that is actually drafting Ukraine's roadmap, their memorandum.
04:49It's not Ukraine, it's the United States, and I would venture to guess it is specifically Keith Kellogg and his team who are actually writing out the memorandum on behalf of Ukraine,
05:04though Kellogg and the United States continue to play the part of a mediator in this entire affair.
05:13And Russia goes along with it.
05:18They go along with all of this theater, and they continue to allow the Trump administration to claim that they are mediators to all of this.
05:31So, Ukraine, they had to come out with a statement, given Kellogg's comments, that they have their memorandum prepared,
05:42and then they had to actually deliver the memorandum to Russia.
05:46Thank you, Keith Kellogg.
05:47That is what Ukraine is saying.
05:49Oh my God, this Kellogg guy.
05:50So, yeah, that's what went down yesterday.
05:59And Ukraine, Umerov, who's the defense minister and the foreign minister of Ukraine, whose name I always forget, Shiba Inu,
06:12they both posted on X that they have submitted their memorandum to Russia and that they are now waiting for Russia to give them the draft document.
06:26And they're making it out as if Russia is stalling and delaying in order to buy time.
06:34They're now saying that it's Russia that is playing games and that's delaying this entire process.
06:45Umerov put out a pretty long post on X.
06:49That's how you know he's trying to cover things up for the fact that it is Kellogg.
06:56My guess is that it is Kellogg who is actually preparing Ukraine's documents.
07:02But he said way down in his post on X,
07:06the Russian side has at least four more days before their departure to provide us with their document for review.
07:13Ukraine has always been and will always remain as constructive as possible.
07:18Meetings between the sides must produce results.
07:21That's why each meeting must be properly prepared.
07:24The Russian side promised to hand over the memorandum immediately after the exchange.
07:28We call on them to fulfill that promise without delay and stop trying to turn the meeting into a destructive one.
07:34Diplomacy must be substantive and the next meeting must yield results.
07:38The Ukraine foreign minister, Shiba Inu, he said,
07:43why wait until Monday if the Russians have finally elaborated on their memorandum after 10 days of reflections and attacks?
07:52It can be passed to us right away.
07:55We anticipate that the Russian side will not derail the next meeting and will immediately submit their proposals for our consideration.
08:02As previously agreed, only a well-prepared meeting has the potential to produce tangible results.
08:08So you can see what Ukraine is trying to do here.
08:10They're trying to get, well, they're trying to blame Russia now for delays, which is false, absolutely false.
08:17But what they're trying to do is they're trying to get Russia to now deliver the memorandum to Ukraine before the meeting in Istanbul.
08:27So Sergei Lavrov, he is about 20 steps ahead of Ukraine and about a thousand steps ahead of the genius that is Keith Kellogg.
08:38And Lavrov has said, OK, we'll prepare our memorandum after the prisoner exchange.
08:44And then yesterday he came out with a message and said, our memorandum is pretty much prepared.
08:49But you know what?
08:50We are going to hand it over to Ukraine, present it to Ukraine on June 2nd in Istanbul.
08:59Now, why is Lavrov doing this?
09:01Well, he's doing this because Russia has realized that Ukraine and the United States, the Trump administration and Kellogg, they're playing all kinds of games with the drafting of this memorandum.
09:13The fact that Ukraine is probably not even typing out their memorandum.
09:18They realized all of this and they said, you know what?
09:20Let's present the memorandum in person to Ukraine.
09:24Alexander brought up the point in a video that we recorded on the Duran as to why Lavrov is doing this.
09:29And the reason is twofold.
09:32Reason number one is that Russia does not want to hand over this document to Ukraine before the meeting in Istanbul,
09:40knowing that Ukraine and the United States will leak parts of this memorandum to the media,
09:46and they'll misrepresent it, and Russia does not want that to happen.
09:53And the second reason why they want to present the memorandum to Ukraine in person
09:57is because they understand that if they gave the memorandum to Ukraine ahead of time,
10:02that would allow the United States and Kellogg and his team, the Trump administration,
10:08to prepare replies, to prepare ways to sabotage it.
10:15All kinds of things could happen.
10:17So they want to actually prepare this.
10:19They want to actually present this to Ukraine when they sit down.
10:24They don't want this to be given ahead of time.
10:28They don't want the media to get a hold of this.
10:31They don't want Kellogg to sit there and start preparing ways to reply to Russia's demands
10:37or to come up with ways to sabotage the negotiations.
10:43So that's what is going on with the memorandum and the talks that will take place in Turkey.
10:51Trump was speaking to the media yesterday, and he was asked about sanctions on Russia.
11:01Why are you not placing sanctions on Russia?
11:04You have called Putin crazy.
11:06He's crazy, man.
11:08You said that Putin is playing with fire.
11:10He's playing with fire, that Putin.
11:13Why are you not placing sanctions on Russia?
11:16And Trump said that he doesn't want to place sanctions on Russia.
11:21Not yet.
11:22He wants another two weeks.
11:24He said two weeks ago that he needs another two weeks.
11:28And then four weeks ago, he said he wants another two weeks.
11:32And six weeks ago, he said he needs another two weeks.
11:33Anyway, yesterday, he told the media, I need another two weeks.
11:38And he says he needs two weeks because he doesn't want to derail the talks that are taking place.
11:46He said that if he places sanctions now on Russia, that would sabotage the peace talks.
11:50And Trump said that he feels that the United States is very, very close to getting some sort of a deal or a ceasefire in Ukraine.
12:01He also said that if a trilateral meeting was needed, Trump, Zelensky, and Putin, Trump said that he would absolutely go.
12:14He would attend this trilateral meeting.
12:21And the reason that the collective West, the media, Zelensky, Ukraine, the reason that they are pushing so hard, the Europeans, they're pushing so hard for a trilateral meeting.
12:36And the reason why they want to get Zelensky in the same room with Trump and with Putin is because Zelensky showing up at this meeting and sitting at the table with the president of the United States and the president of Russia is not about coming to some sort of a peace deal.
12:53It's about providing Zelensky with legitimacy.
12:58See, that's what it's about for Zelensky.
13:01If he can be at a meeting with the president of the United States and the Russian president, who for three years, he said he would never, ever, ever, never, ever, never, ever, ever, Miss Jackson.
13:13Sorry, Miss Jackson.
13:14Never, ever, ever will I sit down with Russian president Vladimir Putin.
13:19Never, ever, ever, ever.
13:20I'm creating a decree.
13:21I'm creating a decree banning me from talking to the Russian president.
13:25Well, now Zelensky is absolutely dying.
13:29He is dying for a meeting with Putin, but not only Putin.
13:32Trump has to be there as well.
13:34Trump said he is going to be there.
13:36Zelensky understands that if he can sit at the table with these two leaders, he is the legitimate president of Ukraine.
13:44Elections or no elections doesn't matter.
13:47He's the he's the guy in Ukraine because I'm sitting with Trump.
13:52I'm negotiating with Putin.
13:55If the Russians were to agree to this, then the Russians would never, ever, ever, ever, ever be able to say that Zelensky is illegitimate.
14:04Because the fact that you sat down with him to negotiate with the president of the United States present means that you recognize his legitimacy.
14:12You recognize the elections.
14:14That's what it's going to mean.
14:16And Zelensky and Zelensky sitting down with the president of the United States and the president of Russia.
14:22He can then he can then prevent any type of of coup that maybe the Banderites are thinking about or any type of removal that maybe some opposition forces are thinking about.
14:38But the the Poroshenkos, the Klitschkos, the Timoshenkos, they're not going to touch Zelensky because Zelensky is going to say,
14:47I've got I've got I've got Trump's ear and I'm the one that that can actually go face to face with Putin.
14:55And of course, the Ukraine media is going to present it to the people of Ukraine as as Zelensky is the only leader,
15:01the only legitimate leader who can sit down with the presidents of the United States and Russia.
15:06So that's why Zelensky is dying for a meeting with Trump and Putin.
15:13It kind of it saves Zelensky.
15:17It solidifies his power and and strengthens his position.
15:21And it kind of saves him.
15:23There's going to be no opposition.
15:24There's going to be no type of coups or removals or anything like that.
15:29And he becomes legitimate to the entire world.
15:32And so Trump said he will show up to this trilateral meeting if it is needed.
15:41If Russia agrees to actually sit down with with Zelensky and it's not about signing capitulation papers,
15:49then I don't know what to say about about the Putin administration.
15:53If they agree to this without it being a capitulation signing, then what can you say?
15:58Anyway, Lavrov was asked about Trump.
16:02And the things that he has been saying recently about the conflict in Ukraine and Lavrov believes that Trump is getting filtered information on the Ukraine conflict.
16:16That is what Lavrov said.
16:18Responding to a question from Pavel Zarubin, Lavrov said,
16:22One thing is clear, Donald Trump and those who actually make decisions regarding the Ukraine conflict in particular are not being told everything.
16:32The information he, Trump, is given is filtered through a sieve, which is prepared by those who want to draw America into more aggressive action against Russia in support of the Kiev regime, Lavrov added.
16:53Lavrov is making excuses for Trump, man.
16:56I just report the news.
16:58I report the news and I have to analyze what's going on, even after Trump makes true social posts like the one that he made the other day where he said that Putin is playing with fire.
17:10Russia is going along with all of this.
17:14And because Russia is going along with all of this, we have to try and figure out what is going on.
17:21So Lavrov is absolutely making excuses for Trump.
17:25He is saying that Trump is not getting the right information.
17:28Maybe Lavrov is right.
17:30Maybe it's as simple as that.
17:32Maybe something else is going on.
17:33That's the statement from Lavrov.
17:37Tammy Bruce at the State Department, the spokesperson at Rubio's Department of State, she said that if Russia does not make a deal on Ukraine, after all the work, after all the work that the United States and Trump has put into this, playing the mediator,
18:01and Russia going along with this theater, Tammy Bruce said that if Russia does not agree to something, then maximum pressure will be applied to Russia.
18:13Maximum pressure is a term that Trump has used with Iran as well.
18:19So now he's recycling it for Russia.
18:22U.S. President Trump is prepared to apply maximum pressure on Russia if Ukraine peace talks fail to produce results.
18:28State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce has told Fox News the U.S. president's patience has worn thin and that he has expressed his frustration in recent posts on Truth Social.
18:40Bruce told the network in a clip posted by Fox and Friends on Monday.
18:45Notice that there's no condemnation of Ukraine.
18:48There's no frustration with Alensky from Trump, according to Tammy Bruce.
18:53He's not frustrated with Alensky.
18:55He's not frustrated with Ukraine.
18:57There's going to be no maximum pressure on Alensky or Ukraine.
19:01It's going to all fall on Russia.
19:03All the blame will be placed on Putin and on Russia.
19:07Even though if there's one party in these negotiations that the United States can absolutely put pressure on to get results,
19:19it's not Russia.
19:20It's Ukraine.
19:21The United States holds zero leverage over Russia.
19:25The United States holds 100 percent.
19:29No, no, no.
19:29Change that.
19:30The United States holds 1,000 percent leverage over Alensky and Ukraine.
19:38But in the statement from Tammy Bruce from the U.S. State Department, it's about putting all the blame on Russia if a decision is, if a result is not reached in these negotiations.
19:51So Margarita Simonian of RT, she commented on BlackRock Mertz and his Taurus statements.
20:06And I'll get into some more information on Mertz and Alensky and the Taurus long range missiles in a bit.
20:16But Simonian, she posted on X replying to Germany and to Mertz.
20:23Word in Moscow is if Mertz uses German weapons to strike Moscow.
20:28And we all know that Kiev has no independent capacity to operate Taurus or other long range missiles, then Russia will have no choice but to strike Berlin directly.
20:38So that's a pretty, pretty aggressive warning from Simonian.
20:54Pretty scary.
20:55If I was Germany, I would consider that a pretty, pretty scary warning from Russia, given the weapons that Russia possesses.
21:06This summer, Russia will have, I believe they will have the Oresnik mass produced and ready to deploy.
21:16But is this going to phase Mertz or Germany, the collective West?
21:21I don't think so.
21:23Unfortunately, but with, with reason, I believe the collective West listens to these threats from Russia.
21:31And you know what they say?
21:33They make these threats all the time.
21:35Don't, don't, don't take it seriously.
21:37And I think, I think the collective West is, is right.
21:41I think they're right.
21:42Even though Russia absolutely possesses the, the weapons and the capabilities to, uh, to do,
21:48to do incredible, horrific damage to, uh, to whatever they, they decide to hit.
21:57Let's say the, the, the Taurus, the Taurus missile production facility.
22:01I don't know, uh, somewhere in the collective West, uh, they, they will never, uh, or at least at this moment in time, they will not, uh, do it.
22:09And I think the collective West understands it.
22:11I think they understand that these are just, uh, these are just words from, uh, from Simonian.
22:18Just like you get from Medvedev, just like we've gotten from, uh, Russian officials over the past three years.
22:24Uh, you do get a lot of, a lot of threats, but nothing really comes out of it.
22:31What will be the most realistic scenario?
22:33I believe that when the Tauruses are launched, and I, I do believe that Tauruses will be launched given yesterday's news, uh, when the Tauruses are launched into Russia and, uh, no doubt some of them are going to get through.
22:47Russia's going to deal with it.
22:48It's not going to change the trajectory of the conflict at all.
22:51Russia's winning.
22:52Russia's going to win this thing.
22:54But, uh, 150, 200 Taurus missiles have been delivered to, uh, to Ukraine.
23:00Those are the, the estimates.
23:03Some of them are bound to get through, at least in the very beginning.
23:06And what Russia's going to most likely do is they're going to most likely retaliate into Ukraine.
23:13Which for the Europeans and for the collective West, for the U S for them, it's fine.
23:21That's fine because it keeps the, the spiral of, of war, of conflict, of escalation going.
23:27Um, so they don't have a problem with Russia retaliating into, into Ukraine once the Taurus missiles, um, are launched into, into Russia.
23:37Now, what kind of retaliation is it going to be an Oresnik or will it be something like what we saw, uh, a couple of days ago, which was drones and Iskander's?
23:46I don't know.
23:47I don't know.
23:48But we're going to probably soon find out because, uh, those Taurus missiles have been delivered to Ukraine.
23:55And we are getting very close to the point where those missiles are going to be launched into Russia with the help of Germany and with the help of NATO slash the United States.
24:07So an interesting post from Simonian, but in my opinion, and I could be completely wrong about this, but in my opinion, I don't think a post like this scares Germany or the collective West whatsoever.
24:21I think they're just going to chalk it up to more threats coming from Putin's, what they're going to say is more, more threats coming from Putin's, um, pit bulls or lapdogs or whatever they say in the media, whatever.
24:33They're going to come out with something like that.
24:34They're going to say, Russia is not going to do anything to us.
24:37Press forward.
24:40So dangerous, dangerous, uh, times, everybody dangerous escalation that is taking place by the way, Lavrov.
24:47He also replied to, uh, Mertz is Taurus statements and Lavrov said Berlin's direct involvement in the war is more obvious.
24:57As Lavrov said, Germany is sliding down the same slippery slope.
25:03It already followed a couple of times in the last century down towards its own collapse.
25:10The Russian diplomat expressed hope that responsible politicians in Germany would ultimately draw the right conclusions and put a stop to this madness.
25:17There's no hope that anyone's going to put a stop to this madness, not happening, uh, with all respect, Russian foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, you know, that's not going to happen.
25:29You know, that, that Germany is looking at the statements coming out of Russia.
25:34The statement that Lavrov just made there, uh, they're reading the statements and they're saying, press forward, Russia, Russia ain't going to do anything to us.
25:44They're not going to do anything to us.
25:46They're going to strike at Ukraine.
25:48And that's good for us because then we can continue to, to escalate and it continues the, the war.
25:54And that's exactly what they want.
25:57So, uh, the Taurus, the Taurus missiles, the long range missiles in Ukraine.
26:04Well, yesterday we had, uh, a deal that was signed between Mertz and, uh, Alensky.
26:10Alensky was in, uh, Berlin, anything to get out of Kiev Churchill.
26:15Number two made his way to Berlin and, uh, he signed a deal with black rock Mertz for 5 billion, uh, euros going to project Ukraine.
26:26And most of the money will go into a joint venture, a joint project to manufacture long range missiles in some sort of, from what I understand, in some sort of a facility located in Ukraine.
26:45And if you believe that, well, if you believe that I've got an outdoor, uh, gym set to sell you like, like they're going to manufacture long range missiles in, uh, in Ukraine with this 5 billion euros.
27:03Give me a freaking break.
27:04Basically, this was Germany's way, the collective West's way of saying that those missiles are indeed in Ukraine.
27:13We've handed over those missiles and give it another couple of weeks or another couple of months.
27:19And we're going to be firing those missiles into Russia.
27:22And what we are going to say is that those missiles are not German missiles.
27:27They're not German tourist missiles.
27:29They're Ukraine, uh, long range missiles.
27:32Ukraine manufactured those missiles.
27:35We didn't do it.
27:37Ukraine did it.
27:38They're the ones that manufactured them.
27:40They're the ones that launched them.
27:42That's all that is going on here.
27:43And of course, black rock Mertz is, is doing his job by giving 5 billion euros to the military industrial complex for missiles.
27:52That have already been produced, probably produced a couple of years ago, probably delivered a couple of months ago, but he's now just giving them 5 billion euros.
28:03And, uh, this is just all smoke and mirrors.
28:06I think it's very clear now that the, the tourist missiles, uh, will be, will be launched into, uh, Russia towards Moscow.
28:17I don't want to say any day now, but in the next couple of weeks or in the next couple of months.
28:25And the U S will absolutely play its part in, uh, in launching those, uh, those missiles.
28:33There's no doubt about it.
28:35Just like the U S and the Trump administration played its part in, uh, in the drone strikes into, uh, Russia.
28:42There's no doubt about it that the United States played a part in the thousand plus drones that were launched into the Russian Federation, including the drones that tried to take down the helicopter of Russian president.
28:54Vladimir Putin, we talked about this on a recent Duran video, which, which will be going up today, maybe tomorrow.
29:04I'll, I'll, I'll see.
29:05Maybe I'll publish it tomorrow.
29:07But, uh, me and Alexander did, did a couple of long videos, uh, on this topic, the diplomacy as well, as, as well as the military situation.
29:15So, uh, we got two videos out of, uh, out of that discussion and, uh, and the one video where we talk about the military situation, Alexander brings up the point, a very good point, a valid point, which is that the U S was absolutely, uh, playing a part in the drone strikes into Russia.
29:32And most likely what happened is that the military officials and the generals and people like Keith Kellogg, they, uh, probably told Trump a couple of months ago as the drones were, were being manufactured.
29:44And we were coming to the point where this huge drone swarm was going to be launched into Russia ahead of victory day.
29:50They most likely told Trump that, uh, that this is going to give Trump the leverage that he needs militarily over Russia.
29:57Once the drones are launched into the Russian Federation and hit their targets, this will give Trump some much needed leverage.
30:03And Trump went along with it.
30:04And when everything failed and the Russian Federation knocked down most, if not all of the drones, uh, Trump got very upset because he was promised leverage.
30:15He was promised results.
30:17He didn't get it.
30:18And that may be another reason why you're seeing Trump lash out at, uh, Putin, right?
30:24Like, uh, like, uh, like a child who's, who's breaking toys or something like that.
30:31He's lashing out at Putin because he was promised one thing and, uh, it didn't work just like the great headstone counteroffensive didn't work under Biden and, and snake Island.
30:42And, uh, uh, the 2023 super duper counteroffensive that was organized that was organized by, uh, by the United States command center in Germany, just like everything that they've tried has failed.
30:58This massive drone strike also failed, but this time around you have Trump posting on truth.
31:03Social, his anger at the fact that he was most likely promised one thing and, uh, he got nothing.
31:09He got no leverage out of all the drones.
31:12Anyway, that's, uh, that's what's going on in, uh, in Germany, uh, Germany to help Kiev build a long range missiles to strike Russia and build with the article saying German economy threatened by historic downturn.
31:27So as Mertz, as BlackRock Mertz gives 5 billion to the MIC for work that they have already done many years ago, as he hands over 5 billion to the MIC and, uh, 10% for the big guy, we have the German economy in a whole world of hurt.
31:50And, uh, and it's not going to get any better for Germany.
31:57So let's do, let's do one more story.
32:00How are we doing on time?
32:02And, uh, we can get to a clown world, a quick story on Kaya Callis, stunning and brave.
32:10She is so stunning and she is so brave.
32:12So special Kaya Callis.
32:14She announced yesterday that the EU is launching.
32:18What is the title from Politico?
32:21EU launches major Black Sea plan with eye on defense as Putin hovers.
32:26Russell announced his strategy to invest in upgrading infrastructure for military use.
32:32So now you see why the globalists, the Europeans, NATO were never, ever, ever going to let Yorgescu get in power.
32:42They were never going to allow Yorgescu to get in power because the plan is for Romania to not only become home to the largest NATO base,
32:54but, uh, for NATO and the EU to start, uh, building up a military presence on the Black Sea in preparation of what?
33:07In preparation to take on Russia, in preparation to try and move in on Odessa, in preparation to control the Black Sea.
33:14This is, uh, a UK, it's a UK, French, uh, globalist U.S., uh, fantasy that they've had for how many freaking years to control the Black Sea,
33:29to push Russia out of the Black Sea and to completely control it.
33:32Uh, Nuland, that's why Nuland, uh, wanted Crimea, the coup in 2014 for Nuland was all about, uh, getting control of Crimea
33:43and finally removing Russia from Crimea and the United States controlling the, uh, Black Sea.
33:49So anyway, what did, uh, Kallis say here?
33:53Security in the Black Sea is vital also to European security, EU top diplomat Kaya Kallis said at a press conference,
33:59adding that it is currently being undermined by the Kremlin's all-out war in Ukraine and hybrid attacks on maritime infrastructure.
34:09The strategy is also a response to geopolitical challenges in a world where dependencies are being weaponized,
34:15said Marta Kos, commissioner of EU enlargement.
34:17The Black Sea is a bridge to the South Caucasus in Central Asia and a vital artery for energy, food, and food trade, she said.
34:27Further down in the article, it says that Romania and Bulgaria are the EU countries on the Black Sea coast
34:32and the bloc will invest in upgrading regional infrastructure such as ports, railways, and airports
34:37to handle heavy military equipment.
34:40This will help to ensure troops can be where they are needed when they are needed, Kallis said.
34:46The commission underlined Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, Turkey, Armenia, and Azerbaijan
34:50as partners, it wants to forge closer ties with through the new strategy.
34:57They tried the coup in Georgia.
35:00Turkey, not getting along so well with Erdogan and Turkey, but they're also trying to win over Armenia.
35:08They're making moves towards Azerbaijan.
35:10Of course, we know the situation in Moldova.
35:12So that is the statement from stunning and brave, stunning and brave, Kaya Kallis.
35:24Let's do a clown world.
35:27Let's get on stage.
35:30All the world's a stage and we are merely players, performers, and portrayers.
35:38Each another audience outside the Gilded Age.
35:47It's kind of Shakespeare, but to be honest, it's Rush Limelight.
35:52It's a Rush song, living in the limelight.
35:56Neil Peart, the great Neil Peart.
35:59Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson.
36:02All right, so, Alensky.
36:04Alensky in Berlin, a lot of hugging going on between Blackrock Mertz and Churchill, number two.
36:14A lot of hugging going on.
36:16And Mertz taps Alensky on the back and sends him off into the automobile,
36:21which, according, I read a comment on X with this video,
36:28under this video, which said that body language experts note that when someone pats someone on the back
36:36in the way that Mertz patted Alensky on the back, it shows dominance.
36:41It's basically Mertz showing dominance over Churchill, number two.
36:48Anyway, notice Alensky's outfit.
36:50He is slowly, slowly transitioning into a suit and a tie, right?
36:57He's slowly, slowly making his way over to a suit and tie.
37:01He's about to go full circle, full circle from suit and tie.
37:07Well, actually, from high heels, from high heels to a suit and tie, to the military outfit.
37:14And now he's making his way back to a suit and tie.
37:20He's doing it very, very subtly.
37:23But we notice.
37:26Anyway, what else?
37:27The European Union, they ran a survey by Eurobarometer.
37:34Eurobarometer conducted a survey.
37:36And Eurobarometer is actually part of the European Commission.
37:39If you go to the Eurobarometer site on the bottom, it says the site is managed by Directorate General for Communication
37:46and is an official website of the European Commission.
37:50Discover more on Europa.eu.
37:52So Eurobarometer is an EU European Commission survey organization.
37:59And they conducted a survey which, according to Eurobarometer, says that trust in the EU is at the highest in 18 years.
38:07The latest Eurobarometer survey released today reveals the highest level of trust in the European Union in 18 years
38:13and the highest ever support for the euro.
38:16In the current geopolitical context, Europeans would also like to see a stronger and more assertive EU
38:22through a common defense and security policy, while peace remains the value that best represents the EU.
38:28Yeah, right.
38:30The EU.
38:30Peace.
38:32Peace in the EU.
38:33That's an EU value is peace.
38:35Okay.
38:35Anyway, this is the first paragraph from Eurobarometer explaining the survey that shows that European Union citizens
38:43are super happy with Ursula and her gang.
38:48But the first paragraph gives it away when they say that what Europeans want most is more security,
38:54more military spending, more defense.
38:56We're all for the $150 billion safe slush fund that was recently passed by the European Union.
39:05Yes, we want EU member states.
39:07As European Union citizens, we want our countries to go into debt in order to purchase weapons for Churchill number two.
39:16That's absolutely what we want.
39:18That's what this survey is saying.
39:20The European Union citizens are absolutely in support of going into debt to give more money to the military industrial complex and Ukraine.
39:30Right?
39:30Anyway, Ursula posted on X, trust is a precious currency in today's world.
39:36So it matters that trust in the EU among EU citizens has grown for four consecutive years,
39:42now reaching its highest level in 18 years, according to an EU-wide survey.
39:46The progress reflects the collective efforts of all EU institutions.
39:50We take this as a motivation to keep delivering.
39:53You can trust Europe.
39:54You can trust Europe.
39:57So a survey done by the European Commission,
40:01which says that Europeans absolutely trust the European Commission.
40:10Yeah, that's a pretty fair, pretty accurate survey.
40:14Absolutely, that's an accurate survey.
40:16I wonder who Eurobarometer actually surveyed to get their results.
40:20They probably called Kayakalas, let's call Kayakalas, Joseph Burrell, Macaron, Bridgette Macaron.
40:29Let's ask Bridgette Macaron.
40:30Maybe we should stay away for Bridgette Macaron for the time being after the whole slap incident.
40:35They probably contacted who else?
40:38Charles Michel, maybe.
40:40They contacted Charles Michel.
40:42Maybe they contacted the entire Alensky regime, Kirstammer.
40:47But he's not in the EU.
40:50It doesn't matter.
40:50Just contact Kirstammer and his staff for this survey.
40:54I'm sure they contacted the Alensky regime as well.
40:58So they can survey them.
40:59But they're not in the European Union.
41:01It doesn't matter.
41:02It doesn't matter.
41:04But I bet you the Alensky regime said,
41:06sure, we'll give the European Union a positive grade.
41:11Absolutely, we'll give them a positive grade.
41:13But, you know, we want some money in order to give the European Union a positive result.
41:19Anyway, that's the video, everybody.
