The list of long-range missiles for Ukraine is ready / Trump is angry and forced to escalate /№97...
00:00 Trump decided to escalate the situation. This decision was made together with European NATO allies.
02:07 David Ignatius names three reasons why Trump made this dramatic decision: Putin showed disrespect for him, the spectacular bombing of Iran by American bombers, the desire to solve his foreign policy problems, which are growing.
03:09 The Atlantic: Trump's statement does not reflect a strategic change in attitudes towards Russia and the war. Trump did not become a supporter of transatlantic alliances - he was simply deeply offended by Putin's behavior. Yuri Shvets: now the ego party is playing the main violin - in professional jargon this is called the moral and psychological basis of working with operational communications. This is the most slippery job, which often ends with the agent getting out of control and a disaster.
06:32 Putin failed to work with operational communications. This is why the KGB called Putin the Cigarette Butt and the Pale Moth. He was not taken into intelligence - he worked with operational connections in the Fifth Directorate, where in the USSR there was no need to work with them. This is a failure.
09:19 The second reason for Trump's decision is the solution of domestic political problems: Trump's campaign promises and MAGA, the scandal with the Epstein lists. Taylor Greene declared war on Trump: "He betrayed us!"
11:40 The House Rules Committee, in which all Republicans voted for a decision not to oblige the government to publish materials on the Epstein case. It turned out that the Republican leadership was involved in this case.
13:04 The importance of the Epstein case. John Michael Dagan was a deputy sheriff in the area where Trump and Epstein's property was located in the 2000s. He led an investigation that resulted in him getting 478 disks with incriminating evidence from Epstein's villa. He was seen in Moscow with Pavel Borodin, who brought Putin to power. Now this dirt is in the Kremlin.
17:07 Artificial intelligence has solved the problem of dirt on Trump. An example is the Prigozhin fake against Zelensky.
18:39 That's why the Republicans are hoping for a miracle.
19:02 Agent Dmitry Simis: Trump has always emphasized that this is Biden's war. But now it's Trump's war. And this is good for Ukraine, because if Trump loses the war in Ukraine, his name will be trampled into the mud, and he will have no chance. Now it's Trump's war, and he must go to the end.
20:34 Tariffs are unlikely to be applied against Russia and its partners. Germany is providing one Patriot system, Norway is providing the second. One aid package is 10 billion, it includes shells and missiles.
22:05 Trump has an idea that the situation on the battlefield needs to be changed, and to do this, we need to strike deep into Russia. We need to put Russia in the same conditions as Ukraine.
23:26 Are Tomahawk missiles included in the aid package?
24:53 David Ignatius: the list of long-range missiles was given to Zelensky. The restrictions will be lifted for the missiles that are already in Ukraine.
26:08 The new package will include 300 km missiles. Tomahawks are not included, but they are on the agenda. The escalation should be gradual. It all depends on what happens in the next five days.
27:49 The decision to strike on Russian territory has already been made. The list of weapons that Zelensky received will be delivered through third countries.
29:26 Threats of nuclear strikes from Russia are a bluff, because in that case Tomahawks will definitely arrive.
30:36 Lists of long-range systems can be transferred through third parties. This will allow Trump to bypass the need for Congressional approval. The issue is trust in Ukraine. Several hundred long-range missiles will be received from Germany, and they will be used to practice what to do next.
32:44 Medvedev should be added to the terrorist list.
34:17 Escalation begins with the supply of German missiles, lifting restrictions on HIMARS and ATACMS missiles. If Putin responds, escalation will begin, during which it is important to eliminate gaps in Ukraine's defense. Work is underway on drone destruction systems. It is necessary to destroy military facilities on Russian territory during the escalation.
37:00 If Trump manages to achieve pressure in the new campaign, he may deserve the Nobel Prize. But new obstacles may arise on the path to peace.
38:02 For now, Putin is silent, but other government officials are speaking in his place. Yuri Shvets: Putin has nothing to say. The Kremlin has worked out propaganda theses aimed at introducing them into the consciousness of Western elites. The only correct response to these theses is to beat the enemy on his territory.
41:30 NATO is coordinating the process, and Germany, Norway and other countries will pay for the weapons.
43:02 The frozen 300 billion should go to the US military-industrial complex.
