00:00:00.000 I'm curious, how do you see the peace deal in Ukraine and Russia,
00:00:06.680 the negotiations, how they've kind of unfolded so far?
00:00:10.300 Do you feel like it's going in a good direction?
00:00:15.080 Well, I mean, it was supposed to happen the day after election, right?
00:00:19.380 It was supposed to happen January 21st.
00:00:21.060 I'm surprised even this much headway has been made, or even an attempt.
00:00:26.960 You think progress has been made?
00:00:28.820 I think that they've tried progress.
00:00:31.220 I think that before they weren't even trying.
00:00:33.760 So it's interesting to see them trying.
00:00:36.040 And I think even through that process of trying, we've learned a lot now
00:00:39.920 that we didn't maybe know before for certain.
00:00:43.260 I think we've at least learned that.
00:00:47.460 It's funny because their strategy was exactly what they said it was going to be,
00:00:52.040 where they said, we're going to come in, we're going to put pressure on Ukraine first 0.98
00:00:55.960 and use all the leverage we have, all of it, to strong arm them into agreeing to go to
00:01:03.620 the peace negotiating table.
00:01:05.480 And then in all these think peace documents about what Trump was going to do,
00:01:11.160 they said, if that doesn't work, we'll turn around and we'll put maximum pressure on Russia 0.98
00:01:17.400 with all the leverage that we possibly can, which I think we're now in that step of it.
00:01:22.360 But yeah, so, you know, Trump's losing his patience with Putin.
00:01:28.520 He's threatening heavy sanctions, right?
00:01:30.800 We saw this very significant Russia sanctions, bashes all talk Putin.
00:01:36.200 There will be very, very powerful and very bad for the country involved.
00:01:40.400 And he also publicly in an interview said that we have to give Ukraine more weapons.
00:01:44.920 We have to help them out.
00:01:45.840 Wait a minute.
00:01:46.720 We're not giving Ukraine weapons.
00:01:48.100 He said that in an interview openly.
00:01:50.100 I think this was a week and a half ago, two weeks ago.
00:01:52.820 So I don't know if the relationship with Putin is as good as it was on the first administration.
00:02:00.100 First administration conditions were a little bit different.
00:02:02.420 Is this the one, Rob?
00:02:03.160 This is where he announces more weapons for Ukraine.
00:02:06.580 Go for it.
00:02:07.540 Are you planning to send more weapons to Ukraine?
00:02:11.240 We're going to send some more weapons.
00:02:13.020 We have to.
00:02:13.520 They have to be able to defend themselves.
00:02:15.620 They're getting hit very hard now.
00:02:17.160 They're getting hit very hard.
00:02:18.920 We're going to have to send more weapons.
00:02:20.260 You have defensive weapons primarily, but they're getting hit very, very hard.
00:02:26.540 So many people are dying in that mess.
00:02:31.800 You see, Hexats look as good, but his buddy sitting next to him is kind of like, oh, my God, what are we talking about? 1.00
00:02:40.640 I was not aware of this.
00:02:41.880 But where are you at with this?
00:02:44.800 I think the secondary tariffs are the real weapon there because the Patriot missile systems won't really change the equation too much.
00:02:54.360 They'll give more air defense capabilities to Ukraine, and that'll help them shoot down some ballistic missiles.
00:02:59.260 But the real threat that's embedded in there is the secondary tariff, which is you can almost think of it more like a sanction, the nuclear option of sanctions against Russia.
00:03:09.740 If they actually end up going through with it in that 50-day deadline, they would be basically putting a lot of pressure on China and India and anyone who buys oil from Russia, which is really what would put pain on them, if it really does go through.
00:03:27.400 What do you think Russia wants here? 0.85
00:03:29.940 I think that they're looking at the battlefield and assessing, we could do this for another year or two.
00:03:35.440 Why would we stop now?
00:03:37.020 We're going to be in a better position, tactically speaking, on the battlefield a year or two from now than Ukraine.
00:03:43.220 Why?
00:03:43.380 Because just the momentum of the battle is they're gaining territory.
00:03:48.080 Like that place that I was in, in Kursk, where I was reporting from there, Russian soldiers stand there today.
00:03:54.980 They've captured that territory.
00:03:56.680 Same with that other drone mission.
00:03:58.760 Most of the places along the front, Russia is standing where I was when I was there.
00:04:04.280 And a number of the people that I spoke to and interviewed in those videos, I've gotten word now that they're missing in action or killed.
00:04:11.540 And Russia, they have the battlefield momentum.
00:04:15.980 So from their perspective, why settle for peace agreement now?
00:04:20.800 Wait until the battlefield conditions are not in their favor or it looks like they can no longer fight.
00:04:27.520 To them, it doesn't make sense to stop now.
00:04:30.200 You've been in it for how long now?
00:04:31.840 Four years?
00:04:32.760 What's the timeline?
00:04:33.480 Three years?
00:04:34.060 How long has it been now, Rob?
00:04:36.420 Since we invaded Russia, 2022? 0.80
00:04:39.000 No, we didn't invade Russia.
00:04:40.000 I'm sorry.
00:04:40.460 I'm sorry.
00:04:40.700 Russia invaded Ukraine, 2022.
00:04:42.720 You started a war online.
00:04:44.340 U.S. invaded Russia.
00:04:46.580 Underground war.
00:04:49.700 It's been about three and a half, four years.
00:04:52.060 February 24th of 2022.
00:04:54.340 Okay.
00:04:54.620 So almost three and a half years, soon to be.
00:04:57.100 Yeah.
00:04:57.340 Three and a half years.
00:04:58.260 Okay.
00:04:59.000 So three and a half years there.
00:05:01.860 You're playing poker.
00:05:03.800 You know, you have $10,000.
00:05:06.840 You're in $9,000 of your chips, 90%.
00:05:09.600 What are you going to do?
00:05:10.420 Say, ah, okay, you know what?
00:05:11.920 I'll throw in.
00:05:13.920 What do I got to lose?
00:05:14.940 What do I got to lose?
00:05:15.600 You got to go and see what's going to be, you know, happening and what the opponent has.
00:05:21.760 So you're saying this thing's going to continue with Russia for a while.
00:05:24.720 Unless we, unless the leverage is successful in ending it, if I were them, I wouldn't stop unless pressure was being put on me.
00:05:35.780 I don't know how realistic it is or not, whether that pressure works.
00:05:41.660 I don't, I don't know if Trump is going to actually go through with those 100% tariffs is the threat currently, which would be, I mean, it would threaten to, in a way, make the war more global than it is.
00:05:58.200 Like, we know North Korean troops are fighting now for Russia.
00:06:01.740 That was kind of shocking and a little bit concerning.
00:06:04.380 And then if these sanctions put pressure and really hurt China because of what's happening in Ukraine, that makes this thing global in a way that it kind of wasn't before.
00:06:15.840 Like, we know China is providing a lot of aid to Russia.
00:06:20.400 The Chinese Communist Party is sending machine tooling parts, microchips for their drones.
00:06:28.600 They're propping Russia up in their main ally in this war.
00:06:35.400 Everything's short of munitions, but they're sending the nitrate that you need in order to make artillery shells, which is extremely important.
00:06:46.500 And so if we now start putting pressure on China, I think it makes this war, it adds a different dynamic to the war that wasn't there before.
00:06:57.760 It almost puts the United States in confrontation with China.
00:07:00.940 I think it would be, I don't know.
00:07:04.140 I'm very curious to see what happens in less than 50 days.
00:07:08.140 50 days.
