Bannon's War Room - WarRoom Battleground EP 233： The Battle For Ukraine Picks Up

00:00:00.000 this is what you're fighting for i mean every day you're out there what they're doing is blowing

00:00:18.780 people off if you continue to look the other way and shut up then the oppressors the authoritarians

00:00:26.540 get total control and total power because this is just like in arizona this is just like in georgia

00:00:32.320 it's another element that backs them into a quarter and shows their lies and misrepresentations

00:00:37.400 is why this audience is going to have to get engaged as we've told you this is the fight

00:00:41.160 all this nonsense all this spin they can't handle the truth war room battleground here's your host

00:00:48.280 stephen k bannon okay uh monday 13 february year of our lord 2023 been a pretty historic day so far

00:00:58.360 and uh 1600 pennsylvania avenue in the presidential briefing room we actually had a rear admiral in

00:01:04.620 the united states navy john kirby sit there for about an hour hour and a half with uh the world's

00:01:09.760 media and talk about putting together a working group uh to um look at the shooting down to ufos

00:01:16.980 they did not walk back and did not challenge at all uh air force general van herk's uh analysis

00:01:25.140 yesterday that he could not rule out aliens and in fact msnbc said later on it's chiron as sitting

00:01:31.760 there listening to general austin in brussels who's there for the ukraine war they're asking him about

00:01:36.620 shooting down these um uh unidentified aerial phenomenon that's the new that's the new buzzword

00:01:44.200 or construct they use the pentagon but the chiron said uh defense department shoots down american

00:01:49.800 military shoots down three more unidentified flying objects ufo unidentified flying objects

00:01:55.020 and nobody's walking this back which i think is a huge just narrative pivot because they want to get

00:02:01.600 away from all their other disasters i got rebecca koffler is going to join us we got a lot to go through

00:02:05.760 here another stunning uh admission is the state department shortly after kirby state department

00:02:11.540 sitting there with a with a press conference saying that um all americans all american citizens

00:02:18.900 should leave russia immediately then they have a whole list of reasons why you're going to be

00:02:25.660 shanghaied you're going to be uh press ganged into serving into the russian military or you'll be

00:02:30.540 arrested so uh this thing is heating up big league okay first off i want to bring in karma karma couldn't

00:02:38.040 get you to the end of the other show but i want to get you on because people all over the weekend i

00:02:41.980 had time to kind of catch up and talk to a lot of folks and uh they love uh salty more than anything

00:02:48.840 i want to make sure at the start of the show walk through why does this work what did you do to get

00:02:54.680 this compound uh why is this so beneficial and why do people love it so much yeah steven uh thanks

00:03:01.200 thanks so much again for having me on and to answer those questions we've been making this uh this

00:03:06.700 active ingredient for 18 years and um and we make it it's a it's an enriched super enriched tea extract

00:03:13.420 and and the what we do is we we extract a particular molecule from fresh green tea we have a special

00:03:20.500 fermentation process uh we have eliminated chemicals all chemicals in the process so we have an all

00:03:27.180 natural extract that's a 22 percent concentration of theoflavin and then 18 years ago we did some

00:03:33.420 clinical studies on that and uh and dr david marin a cardiologist at vanderbilt oversaw looked at all the

00:03:40.520 data uh wrote a paper that was in published in the archives of internal medicine i've been taking our

00:03:46.840 product for 18 years when i first started taking it my bad cholesterol was 130 uh in 90 days it dropped

00:03:55.000 to 89 and it's been under 90 ever since and i take zero prescription drugs i'm 74 years old and so that's

00:04:03.120 how our product works the active ingredient is a high concentration uh green tea extract that has a 22

00:04:10.140 percent concentration of theoflavin as opposed to a simple one percent concentration and the way that

00:04:16.820 the posse can get the product and and let me just uh this is a really quick little email from one of

00:04:23.040 our customers says i got my i got my husband using salty now and i wish to double my order a wonderful

00:04:29.700 product you mentioned nothing about lowering blood pressure and it does that too and and that's because

00:04:35.160 we don't have science uh that backs up the lowering of of blood pressure although it helped by blood

00:04:40.800 pressure but our science is on the lowering of cholesterol and the way for the posse to get our product

00:04:46.740 to get salty is to go to warroomhealth.com warroomhealth.com and that will take them to the salty website

00:04:55.940 through war room and then when they check out if they use the code war room at checkout that's war room

00:05:03.300 at checkout you'll get 29.95 off of your initial shipment in your continuity program and then the

00:05:10.740 continuity program on an ongoing basis you're always getting three bottles for the price of two and we

00:05:18.560 ship that every 90 days three bottles for the price of two and we pay the freight and so not only is not

00:05:25.060 only do you give your posse a bargain to begin with we give them an ongoing bargain uh to help them

00:05:31.620 maintain their their maintain their heart health and this is the reason it's important with the lower

00:05:37.880 the cholesterol is that talk i just want to spend a minute about heart attacks and how when you people

00:05:43.240 think of covet 19 and all those other things how big a uh a taker of life are heart attacks right now

00:05:49.800 in the united states of america sir steven uh heart disease is the number one killer uh and even at

00:05:57.360 covet's height even at its height heart disease killed more americans than covet did and the difficulty

00:06:04.740 is is that heart disease generally builds over time 20 30 years and people don't know they have

00:06:10.960 heart disease oftentimes until they have their first heart attack and half the time when they have their

00:06:16.760 first heart attack it's fatal and so what teflavin does is it helps manage what our product does what

00:06:23.240 soul tea does it helps manage cholesterol and it helps your helps you with your general heart health

00:06:30.360 we get lots of lots of very very nice emails from from your posse folks and i could read others to

00:06:37.360 them but but the the uh the reason that it works so well is that particular molecule called theoflavin that

00:06:45.280 we extract and end up with a 22 percent concentration as opposed to just the one percent that's the

00:06:51.840 active ingredient it's decaffeinated and so so the it has it has trace amounts of caffeine because we can't

00:07:00.040 figure out how to get rid of the last little elements that's why we have to call it decaffeinated

00:07:04.460 not caffeine free and uh but it is a it's a wonderful product i'm the poster child for it having

00:07:11.440 taken it for 18 years and seen tremendous results and we get many many emails from from your posse folks

00:07:18.180 one more time where do they go to find out all the information look at the studies do everything

00:07:24.080 where do they go go to war room health dot com that's war room health dot com if they want to

00:07:29.940 see the study then at on the salty website at the top there's a our science tab they click that tab

00:07:38.340 it has a it has some general information at the bottom they can click at the bottom and they can see

00:07:43.940 the entire study which is what was written up in the archives of internal medicine that's a very long

00:07:49.700 tedious read but it has all the science there and then if they use war room at checkout that's war

00:07:56.180 room at checkout they get a special 29.95 discount on their first shipment of their continuity program

00:08:03.540 and then the continuity program is three bottles for the price of two plus free freight from then on

00:08:17.280 lower your cholesterol and provide heart health people love it uh crom so thank you very much

00:08:23.700 for introducing it to our audience absolutely love it salty thank you thank you thank you brother

00:08:28.320 appreciate it okay i want to pivot now uh as we talked about we're in the beginning stages of a third

00:08:35.140 world war and i say third world war i don't mean the economic warfare part or the or the um or the um

00:08:42.200 unrestricted warfare part i'm talking about the kinetic warfare part uh we issued a warning today

00:08:48.880 to all american citizens in moscow and in all russia to leave the country immediately and you've got

00:08:56.140 austin over there in in brussels cooking up who knows what but nbc news was actually truthful today

00:09:02.860 for the first time they agree with what we've been telling you on the war room for many months now

00:09:07.960 let's play the cold open rebecca kaufler we'll bring rebecca kaufler in yeah go ahead um on the 0.98

00:09:14.300 warning to americans in russia to leave immediately do you have a sense of how many americans are there

00:09:20.260 have you received any outreach from americans that are trying to leave what's the plan for the embassy

00:09:24.720 and why now we've been knowing that this has been a concern for a while why is this re-upped i'm glad

00:09:31.400 you ended there because that's where i wanted to start uh this is not uh new guidance that we are

00:09:37.160 providing to the american people we have been warning the american people for months now that

00:09:42.720 they should not travel to russia uh and we've been warning americans who may have been in russia that

00:09:49.200 now is not the time to be in russia and that they should depart immediately what we did do and we

00:09:54.440 often reissue what is known as our travel advisories for uh for for countries around the world but we

00:10:01.100 issue we reissued our travel advisory for russia uh with several updates uh and that includes

00:10:06.020 information regarding dual national military conscription conscription martial law in russian

00:10:11.700 areas bordering ukraine limitations on msc moscow staff use of airlines and russian legislative

00:10:18.880 changes permitting prosecution of those who quote unquote discredit russia or advocate for the rights

00:10:24.140 of lgbtqi plus persons and consular services in russian occupied areas of ukraine so these are

00:10:31.400 changes that are material to the american citizen community in russia but again our message should

00:10:36.460 be uh that americans our message is that americans should depart russia they should depart russia

00:10:41.980 immediately owing to a number of risks that are spelled out uh in much greater detail in that broader

00:10:47.540 travel advisory how real is the threat of them being drafted or forced to serve in the russian army

00:10:53.860 well again it's going to be based on the individual but uh it is a concern we have uh to the extent that

00:11:01.400 we thought it prudent to reissue our travel advisory uh warning against uh the possibility of conscription for

00:11:07.560 for dual nationals um this is uh not something that we want americans to uh consider precisely because

00:11:16.440 we want them to leave russia uh we do not want them to leave themselves subject uh to these or any other

00:11:22.140 measures uh that could put them in in grave danger here today predicts that the war could drag on

00:11:27.760 for years joining me now from pak rosk is nbc news chief foreign correspondent richard engel so

00:11:34.540 richard what has been ukraine's response to this new offensive by russia

00:11:38.140 they recognize that they need help they are increasing their calls for weapons they're increasing

00:11:47.080 their calls for tanks for aircraft uh for the first time in months the ukrainians are starting

00:11:52.060 to lose significant amount of of territory uh they recognize it uh they think that uh bahmut

00:11:58.520 this city that has been a tug of war between russia and ukraine for months uh could fall that it could

00:12:04.400 fall imminently uh in fact just today uh ukrainian officials called for aid workers who are trying

00:12:10.460 to help the people in bahmut to leave the city that it is no longer safe enough for them to go there

00:12:15.700 uh it has become very difficult for journalists uh to go inside the city uh the government is not

00:12:21.100 encouraging journalists to go in uh so the city uh is is facing a very dire situation it might not be

00:12:28.080 able to hold out much longer and that is just one city along the the front line the front line stretches

00:12:33.720 for about 800 miles uh from the north all the way to the south and uh because the russians are sending

00:12:41.100 in so many reinforcements willing to take so many casualties firing so much artillery uh we're

00:12:46.980 talking about tens of thousands of rounds fired by russians every single week that front line in a

00:12:52.460 very destructive uh move is moving slightly forward and it does look like uh the russians want to

00:12:58.920 capture the city of bahmut uh perhaps before the anniversary of the war at the end of next week

00:13:05.100 not that the city is so important not that it's so strategically important

00:13:09.120 uh it would be more of a symbolic victory for russia uh after so many losses over the course of this

00:13:14.760 course of this year richard engel we could talk to ukrainians this guy told me that they didn't

00:13:19.920 return but i'm going to

00:13:21.600 right there we're seeing uh we're seeing the new tanks being delivered the german tanks at least

00:13:41.200 they took the iron crosses off the side that will maybe infuriate the russian people more

00:13:45.960 so friday the anniversary is friday a week it's i don't know we're 10 11 12 days away

00:13:50.940 uh they talk about the russian losses but you know russia controls um or kind of controls

00:13:58.240 a what 25 percent of the country in the eastern border the head of wagner group over the weekend

00:14:03.300 said he thought it would take them two years two years to um uh to control it all in another uh

00:14:11.860 another year they could split the country basically in half or close to in half in the great river that

00:14:17.120 comes from kiev all the way down to the black sea the dnieper river that they thought they could do

00:14:21.920 that in another year you just heard nbc for the first time katie turra saying quoting a state

00:14:27.900 department and pentagon official saying that the war could last many years uh rebecca koffler and by

00:14:34.260 the way tens of thousands of rounds every week how how brutal is this is this fight over bachmut which

00:14:42.380 they've now uh they now have a you know kind of semi-officially told people they're not going to

00:14:46.680 be able to hold that crossroads town and also these strategic villages uh strategic hamlets and

00:14:53.060 villages uh around it how important not just symbolically but militarily is for the russians uh to

00:15:00.140 to kind of regroup here and and pound their way back to uh and against a heroic you can't say anything

00:15:06.540 less than heroic defense by the ukrainian people uh how important is that as a as a as a victory for

00:15:12.860 the russian army it is extremely important uh steve and it is indeed a bloodbath that is unfolding

00:15:21.260 right now near bachmut and across ukraine while we were hyper-focused on the chinese spy balloon

00:15:31.540 the russians have gradually launched their counter-offensive that everybody was expecting

00:15:37.700 so bachmut is in fact a very strategically important area because it puts the russians

00:15:44.760 on the pathway to secure the point at donbat as you just said the russians already control between 20 and

00:15:52.780 25 percent territory and so the head of the wagner group which is um he's actually

00:16:01.140 part of uh putin's personal hit squad the uh putin's uh chef if you will those people are brutal they

00:16:08.700 have been recruited out of prisons and uh the narrative that pregozin uh put out there with the russian

00:16:16.620 people um some of whom were criticizing not many but some criticized putin uh for war and pregozin

00:16:26.260 said look would you rather have your son or your brother or your husband go fight or you would have

00:16:34.660 a real you know killer who has actually killed people so he released all of these convicted you know

00:16:42.060 serial uh murderers who are unleashing this incredible bloodbath uh in ukraine and so the one thing

00:16:52.420 that the state department uh spokesperson did not tell their american people and that's the very

00:16:59.780 important risk that he omitted that a war is unfolding between uh russia in ukraine no longer the special

00:17:10.400 military operation but actually an all-out war this is the pivot uh to a new strategy by putin and that

00:17:19.600 kind of war has the potential to escalate out of control and drag in the united states as a former

00:17:27.780 uh defense intelligence agency officer for russian doctrine and strategy i participated scores and scores

00:17:36.120 of war games including i actually led some some of the red team you know the blue team representing

00:17:42.640 the u.s and nato and the red team representing russia every single war game ended up in either a space

00:17:51.820 armageddon when uh space warfare basically unleashed because all of our warfighting capabilities are

00:18:00.520 reliant extremely reliant on satellites in russia and china to figure that out so they do developing

00:18:07.440 weaponry to neutralize those and that's what you see right now with the spy balloon that's just part of

00:18:12.260 that whole thing but in addition to the space armageddon we have nuclear armageddon because

00:18:19.480 russian um conventional forces are inferior to u.s and nato they have figured out a strategy called

00:18:28.120 escalate to de-escalate um which envision a detonation of a low-yield tactical nuclear warhead

00:18:35.100 in the theater and then once nukes starts flying the missile warning systems of every country in the

00:18:43.580 world that possesses those nuclear weapons is going to pick up and there's a potential to escalate out

00:18:50.920 of control and joe biden knows that the reason he knows we know that he knows this is because he warned

00:18:57.580 us in the run-up to russia's invasion of ukraine he said we're not going to put u.s troops um in the

00:19:07.960 theater to fight on behalf of ukraine because that's when you see a shooting war between you

00:19:14.080 between the united states and russia and that will go nuclear he knows this so the question is

00:19:22.220 why is it that we are pumping all exquisite high-tech weaponry into ukraine right now we are providing

00:19:30.760 either have provided or have committed to provide 196 billion worth of top-of-the-shelf weaponry

00:19:41.420 that equals to the entire gdp the gross domestic product of ukraine the european the top corrupt

00:19:53.100 country in europe okay we're providing the equivalent of gdp to them but for what the question is is that

00:20:01.660 what is the objective because the biden administration and his security team are just schizophrenically

00:20:09.860 reacting they started off with javelins and stingers and um now we're providing strategic type of weaponry

00:20:18.480 we're providing patriot missile defense battery okay we're providing bradley's we're providing

00:20:25.080 abram's tanks and now the conversation is to potentially give zelensky who is an extremely

00:20:33.680 talented actor turned president to give him f-16 and that is the real threat that will escalate this

00:20:42.520 conflict that the pentagon and the biden administration are not telling the american people

00:20:47.880 and then one more uh thing to mention when john kirby gave his uh briefing today on the chinese spy

00:20:56.620 balloons one of the smart reporters asked him a question about that travel advisor which is fact

00:21:03.160 it's not just an advisor it's a security alert let's be clear anyone who is in russia who's american

00:21:09.980 citizen must leave right now so the reason is that they are possibly preparing and they being the uh

00:21:18.700 lord austin who's in brussels right now and uh he is conferring with nato ministers and nato

00:21:26.560 combatant commanders whom i actually by the way personally briefed uh in september 2013 in the run-up

00:21:34.120 to putin's invasion of crimea i briefed all those people on what putin was up to nobody wanted to do

00:21:39.920 anything about it so the potential is if we send f-16s and ukraine uses them and accidentally hits

00:21:49.840 uh russia proper or not accidentally we are in world war three as you noted and right now russian missile

00:21:58.680 strikes uh accidentally are striking uh moldova uh we had a situation when ukraine's missile struck

00:22:06.960 uh poland if you remember so everything is actually uh developing according uh two things the war games

00:22:15.820 that i participated in and what i described in my book putin's playbook okay that's where i gave my

00:22:23.860 unclassified uh intelligence assessment of russian doctrine and strategy it includes everything it

00:22:29.800 includes the the nuclear strategy that i does describe it includes cyber warfare space warfare and

00:22:37.520 in fact the u.s government dia my former uh agency and cia i actually also worked for the national

00:22:45.800 clandestine service um so they tried to cancel my book and they claimed that there's a uh classified

00:22:54.200 information and uh tried to really sabotage its publication because i exposed the entire you know

00:23:02.640 the incompetence of the intelligence apparatus right if you just think that uh we are incompetent enough

00:23:10.020 to not detect you know a chinese uh spy balloon despite the fact that we have a four-star general

00:23:17.840 in charge of norad the north american airspace defense command whose sole responsibility is to

00:23:25.660 protect u.s and canadian sovereign airspace we can't even detect that think about russia

00:23:32.340 you know they they those people we've got people who have never been to the target country whether

00:23:40.560 it's russia china afghanistan you name it don't speak those people's language and yet they try to make

00:23:47.980 intelligence assessments of what those countries um military strategies and what their leadership

00:23:55.520 thinks in fact john kirby acknowledged today when he was asked about russia's intention and that

00:24:02.180 security alert the state department gave he said well i wouldn't even begin to speculate about

00:24:09.400 putin's inner circle and his decision making uh process well that is a stunning admission of a

00:24:17.540 massive intelligence failure and massive failure of u.s national security apparatus because the very

00:24:24.940 first mission of intelligence is to prevent strategic surprise and to detect and neutralize foreign threats

00:24:34.860 before they actually strike our homeland and so we see now that four um not just one not two but four

00:24:46.840 crossed our foreign our sovereign airspace undetected and traveled and took yeah highly sensitive

00:24:57.060 intelligence because it had a multi sensor payload over very very sensitive top secret facilities and um

00:25:10.060 exfiltrated new nuclear intelligence and all sorts of other intelligence so this is the level of

00:25:18.480 unpreparedness and incompetence that goes on and we must hold these people accountable because no matter how much

00:25:26.280 money they pump in we've done that in afghanistan right 2.2 trillion dollars 6 000 american lives where do we go to

00:25:34.700 get those back those boys and girls you know um who died what do we tell to their mothers you know so

00:25:41.240 the same thing is unraveling right now in in ukraine you know and and i hope i and i pray that it doesn't

00:25:49.020 take 20 years to come to the realization that this war is unwinnable and we're risking nuclear

00:25:56.140 armageddon this is what we need to do is to get the step one is to get uh biden to come to congress

00:26:03.620 let's have a war powers resolution rebecca i'm gonna hold you through the break we get back i want

00:26:08.040 you to tell people this has been a special military operation for the first 11 months now you're saying

00:26:14.360 and this is you're saying the tell is getting all the americans out it's now going to shift to war

00:26:20.140 and then maybe total war short commercial break rebecca koffler a former uh defense intelligence

00:26:26.300 agency senior official is going to join us on the other side to talk about putin's playbook

00:26:31.940 and how it's playing out in the ukraine right now and how it's going to impact

00:26:35.560 your life here in the united states of america short break back in a moment

00:32:21.600 slash war room to get your ticket today uh also two more train derailments from michael patrick

00:32:27.020 leahey's going to be on tomorrow jd vance just put out a a uh a statement on this train derailment

00:32:32.620 in ohio very difficult to get accurate information out of there particularly who made the decision

00:32:38.420 and did buddha jed sign up who made the decision to actually uh you know burn the chemicals to do a

00:32:45.100 control burn of the chemicals instead of looking at some other way to get them up because it's quite

00:32:49.900 controversial i think number one the derailment obviously but very controversial how it was

00:32:56.180 cleaned up and people are right now not so sure it's cleaned up we're going to have michael patrick

00:33:00.320 leahey the highest star will have his staff on tomorrow hopefully jd vance's office two more

00:33:04.740 derailments this afternoon one in south carolina one in texas hey just all a coincidence right

00:33:09.800 while the u.s government is chasing around ufos gaslighting you on ufos here's the point

00:33:16.540 if they're really aliens if they're not that if you can't rule out aliens if the head of norad can't

00:33:24.100 rule out aliens and john kirby can step there today for an hour and a half and he's not ruling out

00:33:28.800 aliens in fact they're doing an interagency task force on this uh and austin says with the chyron

00:33:35.880 saying hey they shot down three more uh unidentified flying objects they use the old term the hot button

00:33:41.740 term if they can't rule it out then let's go to defcon two right if the alien is going to come

00:33:47.200 down maybe we're at defcon one maybe we're on the trigger right maybe we're on the trigger if they

00:33:51.800 show up just i'm just saying maybe it's best i've seen enough science fiction movies that if they come

00:33:57.100 down and say hey earth man you know i robot uh why why are we not on the trigger so let's go to defcon

00:34:03.500 two if it's real and what you're going to find out is not real it's all happy talking to try to divert

00:34:08.440 away from this other fiasco of which there are many but besides the kowtow into the chinese 1.00

00:34:14.740 communist party the worst would have to be the third world kinetic war that they're getting us

00:34:19.480 into right now rebecca koffler you wrote a quite brilliant piece for fox the other day you kind of

00:34:25.160 you you predicted this was going to happen around the first anniversary we've pivoted from a special

00:34:31.280 military operation to now a full-scale war and that can metastasize quite quickly as you said because

00:34:38.060 of the fog of war and mistakes and even people that are well-intentioned into total war how and

00:34:43.520 people say oh this is the most dangerous time since the cuban missile crisis this is a hundred times

00:34:48.300 more dangerous than the cuban missile crisis because we actually have a shooting war going on an old

00:34:54.020 fashion war and think about it by the way daily mails reporting 5 000 elite russian troops killed over

00:35:01.100 the last day or two in these massive battles that are taking place around these strategic hamlets

00:35:06.680 i think around bagmuda an 800 mile front so rebecca you know this territory better than anybody

00:35:13.280 you were a senior dia official that focused specifically on the russian high command in their

00:35:18.360 thinking what is the difference between a special military operation that we saw the killing fields

00:35:23.600 look so it's the 100 000 casualties in the ukrainian armed forces supposed to be 40 or 50 000 men women

00:35:30.140 and children civilians they're supposed to be i don't know 200 000 russians that's a special military

00:35:34.660 operation what is that compared to what we're going to see when they go to when they up to ante to war

00:35:40.020 huge difference between the two uh the special military operation as putin called it uh was

00:35:49.500 basically uh fought below the threshold of triggering u.s and nato's response putin yes he mobilized you know

00:36:01.120 about 200 000 originally you know uh personnel encircling ukraine and he was trying to just basically launch

00:36:12.460 aerial bombardments here and there defeat critical infrastructure deliberately placing pressure on ukrainians

00:36:21.120 to capitulate by cutting off their gas they are uh drinking water and freezing them to death during uh the winter

00:36:31.460 but right now putin is not afraid of uh triggering the deployment of u.s and nato forces why

00:36:40.860 because the russian general staff has concluded that sooner or later we're gonna get involved anyways

00:36:50.420 why it's because every single uh conflict that's how it's unfolded eventually the u.s puts troops on

00:37:00.120 the ground and gets involved and by the steady stream of high-tech weaponry that we have provided to

00:37:08.460 them strategic level weaponry because we're talking about uh f-16s warplanes right so that is why putin

00:37:16.760 is preparing for the total war and so there are three signs that that is occurring first a total war

00:37:24.800 is requiring a lot more personnel right troops uh because every single war that the russians have won

00:37:33.420 was won by a relentless attrition of manpower the russians lost 25 million or more during the second

00:37:43.180 world war because that's just how they do business they throw you know people at the problem uh they're

00:37:51.780 not about like surgical strikes and trying to preserve you know uh life and trying to avoid human and special

00:38:01.120 civilian casualties no so um what that article in daily mail didn't say is that um the russians have

00:38:10.320 mobilized in addition to those 200 000 troops that i talked about in the beginning of the operation

00:38:16.240 they have already deployed additional 315 uh thousand troops with 150 000 more in training camps

00:38:28.960 right so remember in september putin announced partial mobilization plus prigozhin unleashed all of the 0.96

00:38:38.240 murderers out of uh and send them to ukraine so in um in december december 22nd putin himself stated

00:38:48.080 that um he called it a war not a special military operation and a day later his defense minister

00:38:58.240 announced that russia is mobilizing one and a half million troops between today and 2025 so they're

00:39:10.240 preparing for a war of attrition a protracted large-scale war that they have concluded by doing their intelligence

00:39:21.120 analysis will escalate out of control because remember every single war that if you go back

00:39:29.360 into history um most of them were not intentional right at least in modern history it was by miscalculation

00:39:38.720 it was unexpected and that's what our war gaming uh has proven is that once you have once you start

00:39:47.680 targeting satellites which the russians definitely will and they have a full spectrum uh space warfare

00:39:56.000 capability both ground-based and space-based and so does china by the way so once those missiles and

00:40:05.280 weapons starts attacking satellites we are in the nuclear war because our nuclear command and control

00:40:13.680 is supported aren't we by satellites you you talk about you you talk about supporting you know one

00:40:21.280 of the reasons they're going to go and upgrade it to a war is that when when because the the uh

00:40:27.040 circumstances call for it it means that people are more involved and it's actually not

00:40:31.520 something small the americans the americans have been we've been supplying targeting now not specific

00:40:38.320 target acquisitions but what we call a a range of options you can have a hamburger you have a steak

00:40:44.320 and the ukrainians actually pick the acquired target and fire but we're doing the heavy lifting

00:40:50.240 in remote sites in poland uh and in other nato countries correct i mean the russians understand that

00:40:55.760 we're running a lot and we're doing with artificial intelligence and it's one of the reasons that the

00:40:59.440 ukrainians besides their own valor and courage one of the reasons they've been quite impressive

00:41:05.600 on holding as they've as well as they've held is they're using advanced american technology from

00:41:10.800 the outside the russians see this right are they calling and is that why that go ahead go ahead yes

00:41:17.840 100 not only we're supplying that weapon to them we are also uh providing them with training i mean 100 ukrainians

00:41:26.880 are now uh training um on on uh bradley's right and um and and and on um abrams tanks now we are

00:41:38.000 having them uh come in and we train them we also train them on our tactics techniques and procedures

00:41:44.720 like on blitzkrieg type of warfare right we have provided targeting real-time targeting information to

00:41:52.880 them uh and this is why ukrainians as you said they've been successful at striking into what

00:42:00.640 russians consider russian territory specifically crimea right and this is why the russians have 0.71

00:42:06.800 concluded that we the united states and nato are already participants in the war and it's not going to be

00:42:14.960 long before we actually have to um directly get involved because remember a lot of these systems

00:42:23.920 they're highly complicated right and a lot of it is top secret technology so that's another issue that uh

00:42:31.920 you know requires a separate conversation because with ukraine not even being uh officially an ally we

00:42:39.280 actually giving them top secret technology um that on abrams tanks for example that we don't even give uh

00:42:47.680 to australians uh for example we restrict uh those kinds of things and it's very difficult you know to do so

00:42:55.280 that is why the russians believe we are already one foot in this war and it's not going to be long before

00:43:06.400 you know the the shoe uh drops on the other foot off the other foot and so they are looking ahead

00:43:13.680 unlike the pentagon who is typically like in the reactive mode i mean the same we saw that in

00:43:20.400 afghanistan we lacked strategy and we just kept you know um surging and surging troops and then throwing

00:43:27.040 weaponry but then after 20 years you know and we completely unanticipated that ieds is gonna be like

00:43:34.800 like the low-tech you know poor man's uh i don't know homemade gadget that is going to be responsible

00:43:43.120 for 60 percent of deaths or injuries of u.s personnel eventually driving us out of afghanistan which is

00:43:51.760 considered to be the grave of empires right and so the same thing is happening if if if um

00:44:00.800 um they're going to now up it till because they're saying you have nato and american involvement they're

00:44:06.560 going to up it to a war and you're seeing that they're bringing i don't know anywhere from 500

00:44:11.200 000 to 800 000 new troops they're already started this winter offensive which they were all the ukrainians 1.00

00:44:17.840 the americans were denying close to a million how do we then if that's that and the wagner guy said

00:44:24.240 that's going to be to secure the eastern part they have today to lock that down all the way the land

00:44:29.120 bridge to crimea and then maybe start to head to the to the river to take another 20 percent of

00:44:36.880 uh ukraine how what what is the off-ramp here if they're going to ratchet it up now

00:44:42.800 the american reaction because every day you're seeing we're getting sucked into this vortex

00:44:47.200 and the biden regime and and by the way the republicans are guilty too the republican neocons

00:44:53.280 even if you're neocon you have to force biden to come to the house and lay out a war plan we need

00:44:58.880 the war powers act we need to see what the strategy is what the objectives are how long

00:45:03.600 they think this is going to last nbc today just out of nowhere this this work had last years you

00:45:08.480 know we were told you know russia for every week since they've been here for the for this year

00:45:13.120 russia was going to collapse putin's going to be overthrown the russian army's in revolt they

00:45:17.840 haven't read history the first year of any war for the russians always bad right then they regroup and

00:45:23.680 like you said they throw they throw bodies at it they throw bodies at it and somehow they turn it

00:45:28.640 around what is the off-ramp here for the americans i mean with the next phase of this getting more

00:45:32.800 intense more combat more dangerous what does america have to do to basically disengage on this and and

00:45:39.760 and to have some sort of peace negotiations or get to some negotiating table well right now uh the

00:45:45.840 biden administration has no exit strategy that is because they're fully invested and they just simply

00:45:53.680 unable uh to plan right and besides they have climbed up the tree so high that they can't really climb

00:46:02.080 down because imagine all of a sudden he starts negotiating with putin what you know he just what

00:46:10.080 an embarrassment right this is gonna be much worse than the spy balloon and so uh that's why this war has

00:46:18.080 nowhere to go except up you know the same and zelensky's unwilling to negotiate and putin is uh yes putin would

00:46:26.960 have accepted a peace proposal if let's say if the off-ramp were on the table if cooler heads were to prevail

00:46:38.960 you know within the pentagon and the biden administration then they would put a peace proposal

00:46:46.080 on the table as an intelligence officer we are prohibited uh from advising what our policy should

00:46:55.280 be right because we're supposed to be non-partisan so the way that we usually approach that question

00:47:01.600 is um we say this is the type of policy that the adversary would find acceptable and would sit down

00:47:11.360 to negotiate so here's my assessment of what putin would find acceptable um but unfortunately my assessment

00:47:20.640 is biden administration is not going to find acceptable but this is what would work uh if cooler

00:47:27.440 heads were to prevail so the 20 territory that russia currently controlled and specifically crimea

00:47:36.240 donetsk luhansk zaparysha and her son the four areas that um were annexed albeit legally obviously if

00:47:45.360 they were to be recognized by the united states and the west as russian putin would accept that uh sanctions

00:47:55.360 you know because remember the biden administration admitted that one of the reasons if not the primary

00:48:03.280 reason we are engaged in this war is to defeat russia militarily weaken it economically so putin doesn't

00:48:11.120 do it again and sanctions is one of the instruments that we are applying so putin wants to remove those

00:48:20.320 sanctions but primarily it's acknowledging that eastern ukraine that most russians believe belongs to russia

00:48:30.320 and crimea for centuries you know belong to russia it's that's what putin would accept let's leave the

00:48:37.040 the argument the argument that the russians have put for it even if it had logic we're so far away from

00:48:42.480 that in fact we're heading into the opposite this is my point up until they admitted that bakhmut's about

00:48:48.720 to fall and it's 800 mile front just where they're fighting remember 10 days ago two weeks ago with the

00:48:54.080 tanks the f6 the day after the f-16s came up they're all talking about a combined arms operation in the

00:48:59.760 spring a combined arms operation in the spring to liberate crimea to liberate crimea this is so far

00:49:06.720 off rebecca where do people go i want to make sure people get to all your writings i want to make sure

00:49:10.800 they get to uh to your website and particularly your book which is kind of brilliant analysis of of the

00:49:16.800 way putin and his inner circle thinks particularly strategically and you've been pretty much right

00:49:22.000 this entire time this entire first year you've had a pretty good run thank you steve i have a website

00:49:28.000 rebecca koffler.com i'm a social media uh getter uh twitter and uh true social i regularly publish my

00:49:39.040 classified intelligence analysis on fox news new york post uh i've published on wall street journal uh

00:49:46.320 before news week so um and any i have a piece actually coming up on uh china and the aerospace uh threat

00:49:57.520 that it presents to the united states and the pentagon's complete um unawareness of the blind spots

00:50:05.680 that china has uncovered in our airspace security 0.96

00:50:12.640 by the way the analysis has been uh has been brilliant and i gotta tell you we are getting uh

00:50:17.440 on a scale from one to ten ten being a full-out war that is uncontrollable one being uh you know

00:50:24.800 leaving afghanistan and some sort of uh humiliation but in peace well we're on the scale right now we're

00:50:29.920 on the scale right now is the united states in this conflict in ukraine oh well okay okay so i would

00:50:38.560 say we are right now in uh eight inching to nine with the ten being with the ten being you know um all

00:50:49.520 out total war and i forgot to mention my book putin's playbook is available on amazon and everywhere that

00:50:57.120 you buy books and i predicted this conflict and it's unfolding in fact uh according to

00:51:04.560 to putin's playbook which is basically a russian doctrine and strategy that the russians have

00:51:09.600 developed in the course of the 10 years and we had every possible piece of intelligence telling us what

00:51:16.960 he was going to do and uh unfortunately there was no deterrence strategy developed and right now we are

00:51:24.000 caught completely blindsided and not only by russia but now by china with the balloons

00:51:32.000 rebecca thank you very much honored to have you on here look forward to having you back
