00:00:00.000 So have you noticed they're no longer talking about Ukraine Russia that much and by the way
00:00:03.340 if you listen to the mainstream media Ukraine is crushing Russia like oh my god the war is
00:00:07.200 already over with Putin's begging for them to stop that's how the mainstream media is selling
00:00:10.900 it and if you look at New York Times story August 2023 there's a story that came out saying 500,000
00:00:16.880 people have died 300,000 from Russia 200,000 from Ukraine but then if you read a story from
00:00:21.880 Zero Hedge it'll say 400,000 people have died from Ukraine and on top of that very interesting 1.00
00:00:26.200 thing that Ukraine did they have roughly 2 million soldiers at the beginning of the war
00:00:30.620 there's claims that they've lost already 500,000 soldiers and according to military chronicle
00:00:36.000 Ukrainian authorities will soon be able to bury about one and a half million people why so here's
00:00:41.960 a country that's got roughly 37 million people living there you have two million soldiers you're
00:00:45.700 going against Russia you're getting money you're hundreds of billions of dollars of money you're
00:00:49.600 coming around the greatest beggar of all time Zelensky the greatest fundraiser of all time 0.95
00:00:53.180 Zelensky whatever category you want to put him in but you do one and a half million dollars and
00:00:57.180 then Janet Yellen who is supposed to know economy and money and numbers of what America can afford 1.00
00:01:02.240 comes out and says America can certainly afford to stand with Israel and to support Israel's military
00:01:07.300 needs and we also can and must support Ukraine in its struggle against Russia Yellen said adding that
00:01:12.520 the U.S. economy is doing extremely well so so based on that quote one would say what Janet Yellen is
00:01:19.440 saying as long as you got money you're going to be able to do you know and fight the war we can do
00:01:24.220 both but no no problem great I have money I'm about to potentially buy 15 acres of land here just
00:01:30.180 because I have 15 acres of land that I buy with money does it mean day one I can go into work in
00:01:35.300 the office no I got to build the 15 acres of land into our headquarters how long is that going to take
00:01:39.260 18 months 24 months permits you know all this other supplies that I got to get so watch what this
00:01:43.840 other person who's a president of roughly an eight billion dollar company that's in the industry of
00:01:48.920 selling weapons said here's Eric Lee a 30-year Kunzberg veteran who was a president of the
00:01:54.480 company's defense unit on November said the following he was torn a factory he said I've
00:01:58.360 never seen anywhere near so much demand of people wanting to order product what do you mean you've
00:02:03.880 never seen so much demand and by the way what's interesting about this is new customers though will
00:02:07.860 have to wait according to what he's saying it'll take two years to make one of these surface air
00:02:12.020 missiles and there's already a multi-year backlog so two years if you're the first customer if you're not
00:02:18.640 it's multi-year which may take four five six years to get them and even a bipartisan organization in
00:02:25.100 America that gets money from a bunch of different people including 25 percent of the money from the
00:02:29.160 government did a simulation a war game simulation published in early 2023 of how the U.S. would
00:02:35.280 respond to a Chinese invasion of Taiwan the Center for Strategic and International Studies estimated
00:02:41.100 America would run out of all important long-range anti-ship missiles ready you know within how long
00:02:48.420 not a quarter not a year not a month within a week so what is Janet Yellen talking about and why is
00:02:55.300 Ukraine preparing to bury one and a half million people when you're only 37 million people living
00:03:00.980 there who knows we're going to talk about that today
00:03:02.940 okay so if you get value out of this video give it a thumbs up and subscribe to the channel let me give
00:03:15.120 you a couple timelines here on what's going on January 19 2024 chairman of NATO's military committee
00:03:20.100 Admiral Rob Bauer said that although NATO and member governments are ready in themselves for conflict
00:03:25.440 with Putin's regime civilians must realize that they also have a role to play this is January 19 2024
00:03:32.060 just recently then January 21st Europe must prepare for war with Russia military expert warns they're not
00:03:39.460 giving a name who this person is they're just warning hey can't tell you who I am anonymous but here's
00:03:43.680 what you have to be ready for this is January 21st then January 23rd Ukraine spy chief not even
00:03:49.380 conceivable that we can win without massive mobilization not even conceivable that they can
00:03:56.140 win without massive mobilization what does that really mean let's take a look at Ukraine's current
00:04:01.800 military now keep this in mind what I believe in is the the whole concept of fog of war which means
00:04:06.280 both sides can give you whatever stats they want to give you you got to kind of try to check both of
00:04:10.040 the sides credibility and believe a little bit of both sides and be paranoid and questionable about
00:04:15.420 both sides whatever they may be saying they're always going to say we have less people that died and
00:04:19.540 they have so many people that have died every side wants to say that so according to Colonel McGregor
00:04:24.120 there are thousands of wounded Ukrainians being left to die on the battlefield growing number of
00:04:28.520 Ukrainian commanders and troops refusing orders to conduct suicide attacks against heavily fortified
00:04:34.060 Russian positions Ukrainian soldiers are surrendering in masses to Russia hospitals overflowing with
00:04:40.420 wounded Ukraine government plans to radically increase the number of women serving in the military
00:04:46.160 and remember how earlier I talked about the fact that military chronicle Ukrainian authorities will soon be
00:04:50.980 able to bury one and a half million people watches the leader in the growth of the territory
00:04:54.300 was a cemetery in Cherkese its area increased by 671,000 square meters just to be able to bury
00:05:04.140 potentially one and a half million people why are they doing that according to RUSI which would sound
00:05:08.820 like a Russia think tank it's actually not a Russian think tank the Royal United Services Institute
00:05:14.580 which if you want to know a little bit more about these guys is a defense and security think tank
00:05:19.480 headquartered in London UK and it was founded in 1831 by the Duke of Wellington Arthur Wellesley
00:05:26.440 so there is no benefit for them defending Russia but watch what they say Russia's getting stronger and
00:05:31.660 Europe's getting weaker Russia's military supply situation has been steadily improving its factories
00:05:36.300 are standardizing around fewer type of tanks artillery howitzers and UAVs resulting in steadily
00:05:42.720 rising production figures from around 40 long-range missiles per month at the start of the invasion
00:05:48.480 Russia is now producing a hundred missiles per month artillery ammunition production has almost
00:05:54.600 doubled recently supplemented by over 1 million shells and hundreds of howitzers from North Korea
00:05:59.080 factories have also been set up in Iran to add resilience and additional capacity to Russia's
00:06:05.280 rearmament drive after the vast losses in material and ammunition expenditure of the past 18 months of
00:06:11.640 war Russia's preparing for long war aiming to grind down Ukraine and exhaust the capacity and will of its 0.99
00:06:17.660 Western supporters to supply the vehicles ammunition and weapons it needs to keep fighting successfully
00:06:23.220 Russia's government has announced plans for a 68 percent increase in defense spending to six and a half
00:06:28.980 percent of GDP next year during the Cold War Soviet spending on defense was far higher than this reaching 21
00:06:36.100 percent of GDP by 1985 and still took decades to arguably bring about the collapse of USSR so so an independent
00:06:43.040 think tank from UK that's been around since 1831 is saying Russia's getting stronger Europe's getting weaker
00:06:49.720 Ukraine's getting weaker why would they say such a thing like this well let's take a look at Europe to see how Europe
00:06:54.360 say European industrial capacity for weapon production eroded after the Cold War of European nations limited stockpiles and
00:07:00.420 productions for aid to Ukraine EU struggling to supply 1 million artillery shells to Ukraine US 70 percent of NATO's defense
00:07:07.360 spending in 2022 and EU is defending spending up 20 percent of past decade Russia China up 300 and 600 percent EU is up
00:07:15.560 20 percent in the last decade Russia's up 300 China's up 600 British military highest rated European military ranks below
00:07:23.280 Russia China and India only 150 deployable tanks 12 long range artillery pieces let's look at France
00:07:31.680 second highest rated European power ranked below South Korea Pakistan and Japan 90 heavy artillery pieces
00:07:39.040 Denmark no heavy artillery submarines air defense systems German military look how powerful they used to be compared to what they are today
00:07:45.920 at the end of Cold War they had 500,000 soldiers in West Germany 300,000 in East Germany West Germany alone had more than 7,000 battle tanks by the 1980s
00:07:55.440 today only 180,000 personnel and they went from 7,000 tanks to 200 tanks only half of which are likely operational according to government officials the country's industry can make only about three tanks a month that's 36 a year these officials said Germany's army has enough ammunition for two days of battle that's what Germany's got two days of battle Germany was feared years ago today no one fears Germany two days of battle is what they got Netherlands last tank unit disabled in 2011 that's 13 years ago Poland
00:08:25.420 plans to spend more than 4% of its annual economic output on defense in 2024 almost double what it did in 2024 Poland could have the strongest conventional forces in Europe in two or three years said Benz Nemet the academic program directed the advanced command staff course at the defense academy of the UK the country's top postgraduate military program so there's a couple things here to keep in mind number one fog award nobody knows what's going on even the stats I gave you you don't know 100% I don't know 100% I'm simply giving you the numbers based on what somebody else got and those people got it from somebody
00:08:55.400 on the inside that may be given the inside that may be given the information based on some motive nobody knows however let's assume what we're reading here is correct if it is correct what's the difference between EU Russia and US here's what's the difference Russia has their own military industrial complex they produce weapons they don't need to rely on the companies that we use they do their own thing and they have other allies that also hate America and NATO that are helping Ukraine such as Iran and China so if they need to lean on somebody they got plenty
00:09:25.400 they started what they started what they're doing with the NATO what has happened to EU they've all sat there and said guys we don't need to spend all this money into our military we don't need to put that money into our budget you know why why America let those idiots spend the money and they'll protect us we don't need to spend it let them pay more of it what are you doing he has put the money you know it's kind of like a person goes to a restaurant and you're out with people and everybody knows you're the rich one and everyone goes like this don't reach your pocket let him think of it exists you know it's like time everybody you've eaten dessert everything's over with 0.96
00:09:55.400 fantastic awesome this is so great that's all they're doing they know US is going to reach their pocket to pay the most for what because of USSR back in the days and that's why we started it why don't you guys strengthen your military Germany why don't you strengthen your military France why don't you strengthen your military UK why don't you guys strengthen your military why are you relying on America to do this for you now US has their own military industrial complex but just because you got money and Janet Yellen says oh we can handle both don't worry we got all the money this is where money doesn't matter imagine when war breaks out and there's a civil war and everybody's killing 0.59
00:10:25.340 each other in a city and a billionaire comes on and says guys I'm a billionaire how much money do you need the guy says I don't give a shit about your money I need guns what do you have I don't have any guns but I got billions no one cares about your money during a civil war they care if you have weapons and Janet Yellen saying we got money don't worry there are no weapons to buy Janet Yellen it takes years to build them that is a problem when we're going out saying yeah let's give them some tanks yeah yeah yeah take some of these missiles no no America's getting
00:10:54.560 weak when we do this because we're worried about EU and all these other guys very problematic I'm a little bit too paranoid on this topic and I think you need to be as well because nobody has all the information mainstreams telling us one thing we don't really know what's going on the fog of war I think is really effective in effect with specifically to Ukraine and Russia war if you got value out of this video give it a thumbs up and subscribe to the channel if you want to learn more about this topic specifically NATO like what's the history behind NATO click here to watch this video you're going to learn a lot about NATO
00:11:24.540 take care everybody bye bye bye
