00:00:00.000 Yes. I was just going to add regarding the Limoges Town Hall.
00:00:05.100 I don't know if you saw, but they released the name of the man who was arrested on suspicion of causing the arson.
00:00:11.120 He was called Ode Siara and not to kind of be conspiratorial.
00:00:17.420 But if you look at his Facebook profile, you can see his posts and they are all very like anti-nuclear.
00:00:24.460 He was part of a nuclear group that was dissolved by the French government for being extremists.
00:00:28.400 yeah uh he was against the vaccine mandate in his posts um and then he's also basque um and he had
00:00:35.000 posts against the french tricolor flag and things and obviously russia does promote uh basque
00:00:40.400 nationalism in spain and france and not saying that it is russia but kind of they have the kind
00:00:45.720 of the kind of the same ideas well same kind of mix you need a match to light the wildfire you
00:00:52.880 know like what what did the the the great fire of chicago happened what what is the story i remember
00:00:59.060 hearing it when i was lived in chicago like uh like a girl like kicked a lantern over and it
00:01:05.680 started the great chicago fire like a chicken like knocked something all i'm saying is it was a cat
00:01:13.200 or something like that yeah there's some or a cow a cow that's what it is a cow knocked over a
00:01:19.520 lantern now obviously this is uh apocryphal to say the least but the it's it's the whole it's
00:01:26.720 getting at something which is some little catalyst occurred that created the reaction i mean i can
00:01:33.580 remember in seventh grade chemistry you can put hydrogen and oxygen together in a beaker and
00:01:40.740 nothing happens and then there's just something something changes a match is lit and boom you've
00:01:47.220 got water because the elements combine and that's what's going on now i saw this um there's this
00:01:54.140 woman i'm forgetting her name at the moment jf got into a spat with her um let me just get her
00:02:03.620 name just so i'm not um because i think i was retweeting what she was saying at the beginning
00:02:10.240 I think she was making an important point. Yeah. Karlyn Borzy Senko, anti-communist is how she describes herself. I've seen her work a number of times, and she basically infiltrates the far left.
00:02:31.360 she goes and talks to these you know antifa groups and reports back and so on and um i'm not saying
00:02:40.400 this is an insult but she sort of fits the bill like it would be i i don't know you just look i
00:02:47.920 won't dwell on this just looking at her you might be like oh yeah she is like one of us you know
00:02:53.520 her overall look um i'll just show you what i mean here uh there you go see i could believe
00:03:04.320 that we're dealing with the leftist here um but she's not she's genuinely anti uh anti-communist
00:03:14.240 uh but she was saying like this isn't about muslims this is about the far left
00:03:20.080 and the white men on twitter are talking about muslims it's a race war no no no this is this is
00:03:26.560 antifa and in here it might have a different name the black block that's been around for some time 0.93
00:03:31.920 there's no it's like uh it's like water it it there's no like form to it it just goes everywhere
00:03:40.160 um and there's no there's no real leadership it can take on it takes on the shape of the
00:03:47.440 container that it's in um but we called it antifa here for a while but i mean i and and she really 0.85
00:03:55.840 started to uh lash out at people who are criticizing her now all i would say is i do think she's
00:04:01.840 correct i think there has to be a match that is lit that you throw onto the field and a wildfire
00:04:11.280 occurs now what is more fundamental or what is more causal the match the spark or the wildfire
00:04:21.060 well sort of both you can't have one without the other you can't have a wildfire without that match
00:04:27.200 but then you can light a match and nothing happens without the the stock the the the foundation that's
00:04:37.480 going to catch flame so the kindling i should say so they're both sort of equally causal on some
00:04:45.200 level and i i i mean it's interesting i mean particularly when i've been watching some of
00:04:52.680 these videos at night and looking at things i just get very depressed i mean i maybe depressed
00:04:58.460 is not the right word very fearful in some ways excited a feeling of impending doom because
00:05:08.780 this is worse than what we've seen over the past say 10 or 20 years every four or five years 1.00
00:05:17.500 there's some sort of thing that happens in paris or thing that happens in london and they loot and
00:05:23.180 and they burn down some stores and you know everyone on the right says like ah this is the 1.00
00:05:29.840 big one the whites are gonna wake up this time and throw these muzzies out of a country and it 0.99
00:05:36.380 never it doesn't happen it goes away um the streets are cleaned up six months later we forget 0.98
00:05:44.060 what it's all about i i do i mean maybe i'm a prisoner of the moment but i do find this more
00:05:51.200 dramatic and worse, and the timing is fascinating. Note that this is occurring at a point where
00:06:02.180 Russia is, in terms of the front lines, losing, slowly but surely losing its war on Ukraine,
00:06:13.640 retreating here and there holding its ground here and there but certainly not winning and
00:06:22.000 we have had now four years we're almost to the point where this is as long as the world wars
00:06:29.280 of russia throwing 30 000 men a month into the meat grinder and that is 30 000
00:06:37.740 casualties deaths or injuries uh occurring every month and they're in a dangerous position where
00:06:48.720 yeah maybe we could eventually overwhelm ukraine but maybe not maybe instability at home is going 0.92
00:07:00.880 to come back and bite us maybe some of these russians are going to at some point or non-russians
00:07:07.000 were thrown into the mix are going to at some point refuse service. Maybe we're going to lose 0.93
00:07:12.980 this thing. Maybe there's going to be a breakthrough. Clearly, Ukraine is out innovating
00:07:17.620 us, particularly in terms of drone warfare. Now, a major problem, what's happening recently, 0.95
00:07:24.540 is that Russia is now creating a sort of jet-powered drone. They were using propeller
00:07:31.120 drones. These are being much more effective. So Russia is sort of responding in terms of
00:07:38.440 innovation, in terms of deadliness. But where are we right now? There seems to be this major 0.90
00:07:43.920 change. Trump is saying, oh, Zelensky, he needs to go. You know, he should have ended this war
00:07:53.420 long all these just absurd comments jd vance oh we we just don't want uh ukraine hitting russian 0.93
00:08:01.360 gas yeah so russia can bomb ukraine they can kill one-year-old children in a park which they 0.66
00:08:11.840 recently did and we're mad that the price of diesel might go up we're basically scapegoating 0.82
00:08:20.260 ukrainian attacks on russia as their their at most exacerbating problems clearly caused by the
00:08:29.800 iranian bombardment and the uh on again off again status the closing status often of the strait of
00:08:37.380 it's just obvious where the problems when you pay at the pump for gas or diesel are coming from
00:08:47.120 it's just as clear as day why this is happening but oh apparently yes zelinski
00:08:54.000 he wants to continue the war he doesn't know any other way
00:08:57.840 that's the seat of his power he doesn't want to have an election because he might lose so he's
00:09:03.480 going to continue the war is this absurdity that trump and vance are putting forward
00:09:11.540 and they're just scapegoating ukrainians or something and why i brought this up in the
00:09:17.060 context of france is that maybe we are at a turning point or exigent a crisis where yes
00:09:29.480 russia continues to hold out and will sometimes make a gain you know one step forward two steps
00:09:36.580 back another step forward etc etc but we're there is a limit to what russia can do and there are a
00:09:45.280 number of options that it can use at this point of we might actually at least in the foreseeable
00:09:54.460 fuel the foreseeable future run out of meat for the grinder we might actually hit this humiliation
00:10:04.620 where we don't even conquer the land
00:10:09.440 that we have, legally speaking, annexed.
00:10:13.080 At some point, the machine breaks down.
00:10:17.760 They might be hitting that point.
00:10:20.100 Now, what are your options?
00:10:22.000 You can shock the world with the use of a tactical nuke.
00:10:26.620 You could be extremely provocative 0.99
00:10:29.800 and basically fuck with NATO, 0.99
00:10:32.560 attack a nato member and see if they're willing to pull the trigger one for all all for one 0.99
00:10:41.060 article five are they willing to do that well you could create not only could you uh you know
00:10:46.660 demoralize or shock terrify ukraine with a tactical nuclear weapon but or or an attack on
00:10:55.100 poland say but you're also going to create this instability within nato you know these
00:11:01.080 you know america you've got trump in office trump and vance they've they're they're focused on the
00:11:06.760 middle east right now they can't deal with this they're the anti-war guys they still claim that
00:11:11.620 at least decadent europe do they really want to go to war i mean you could create all of this
00:11:17.340 uncertainty and instability by doing something like that you could also from all appearances
00:11:26.220 call upon Trump and Vance in your time of need.
00:11:32.820 You could basically say,
00:11:36.520 yeah, I know you're mad at us a bit
00:11:39.140 and I know this is going on for too long,
00:11:41.480 but we've got something on you.
00:11:45.740 We have some sort of leverage.
00:11:48.020 Maybe it's not even like compromise.
00:11:51.240 Maybe we can just promise to get some deals
00:11:54.060 so you can dramatically lower gas prices
00:11:56.880 and save yourself from a midterm loss.
00:12:00.080 Whatever they're doing,
00:12:00.960 you could call upon America to take your side.
00:12:04.200 You could also attack through instability
00:12:09.500 the major European powers
00:12:12.020 that have been overwhelmingly on the side of Ukraine.
00:12:16.780 Get them to pull out.
00:12:18.320 The AFD in Germany, there are guys.
00:12:21.920 maybe we can create some riots in France
00:12:26.120 who knows it might bring down the regime
00:12:29.180 it might eventuate into outright revolutionary activity
00:12:32.720 at the very least it weakens the leaders
00:12:36.520 costs them billions of euro
00:12:41.740 etc etc
00:12:43.480 and as the commentator just mentioned
00:12:47.720 Joe I guess
00:12:48.620 um yeah you might need to actually activate one of your little sleeper cells that you have
00:12:57.400 in europe they're all over the place they're all over the place in the united states 0.98
00:13:01.160 some sort of right-wing violent loser who's you know a basque nationalist and hates the flag 0.96
00:13:11.860 or a texas separatist all of those guys by the way i'm not just throwing pulling these out of a 0.96
00:13:17.340 had all of those people have visited moscow by the way text the texas nationalists root and 0.95
00:13:24.700 texans funded by russians to uh do whatever the fuck they're doing just be a separatist nationalist
00:13:34.020 create instability united states not that they're terribly successful but something 0.97
00:13:38.840 create mayhem in throughout Western and Central Europe, that is one option.
00:13:49.740 And why I mentioned I have a fear of impending doom with all this, because
00:13:55.420 I think we might be at a crisis point. It's kind of a quiet crisis point, so to speak,
00:14:04.820 in the sense that there hasn't been some dramatic reversal on the front lines.
00:14:13.380 It's still relatively stable.
00:14:16.020 It's a stalemate.
00:14:17.400 But there just is a point where you cannot go on.
00:14:22.940 And Russia might be seeing that as coming down the line.
00:14:27.900 Now, again, the Ukrainian winter, can we cut off?
00:14:31.480 There was actually reports in the Times that I was reading this morning.
00:14:34.260 can we cut off 90 of the infrastructure in ukraine dramatic you're gonna i mean they're gonna have to
00:14:42.020 save up water they're gonna have to uh spend cold nights without electricity can we finally crush
00:14:49.860 them can we just finally demoralize them now is the time we said we would do this four years ago
00:14:56.260 yeah of course and two years ago and last year but this time it will work and we have to strike
00:15:03.860 because we cannot do this for six years or eight years or 10 years we cannot sustain 30 000
00:15:10.980 casualties a month and are we at a sort of quiet crisis point where this is taking place just some
00:15:19.220 thoughts.
