Geopolitical relationships are shaped by complex interdependencies where nations leverage economic, military, and diplomatic connections to advance their strategic interests. The US-China relationship demonstrates how trade negotiations, technology transfers, and strategic considerations like Taiwan and Iran create intricate diplomatic dynamics. Nations often pursue multiple simultaneous objectives, balancing cooperation with competition, and using diplomatic channels to manage conflicts while maintaining economic ties.

Trump, Iran and Ukraine News Stream with Captain DenysAdded:
Hello guys.
Hello boys and girls.
One, two, three. One, two, three. Check, check, check.
Hopefully you're doing fine with me today.
Hi. When a conto and Ben hi, you're the first one once appeared. Yeah, that's awesome.
How are you today? I am doing good.
Los clown. Hi.
Hi everybody.
Hope you're doing very very well today.
I'm doing more than okay.
Name.
What are you saying? Not him.
What I say? What I saying?
I wish you health. Thank you. S for addressing you. Same for you. Be wealthy, healthy and rich.
Yeah, that's what usually people wishing. Hi everyone.
So today is the day. Today there is the meeting meeting between Ping and Donald Trump. It seems like trying to find uh more information about it.
But of course like Fox News would tell that it's the best of the best of the best meetings. Yeah.
Let's check uh their propaganda. What are they saying?
I need to know the address of like what they want to what they want to do, what they want to be.
Yeah, we have double comments or what?
Or a single comment? I think single comments.
Yeah. Greetings from my head. Hi Dennis, please update about ongoing bombing taking place right now in Ukraine. It's terrible. Rafael, um, yeah, yeah, we're going to speak about that, too.
Yeah, the Ukraine. If you want, I can show you some of the picss from Ukraine.
Uh this is obelist some of the oil reservoir on fire after the Russian strikes.
So the strikes are happening. They are quite massive for the last couple of days and this night uh this evening they're going to intensify those. So yeah, unfortunately we have this happening. This is happening.
I want to go step by step. First like update on Dhoni, then update maybe on the round touching this topic and uh maybe in the last we're going to speak about Ukraine.
I think so.
That was the plan at least.
Oh D, good to hear you slowing. I'm slow. I don't know why YouTube Twitch somehow not allowed this comment. So I have to manually I had to manually allow it. Love your video today is you should harsher on reform UK.
Uh like come on. It's like I'm not I cannot influence what people will vote for, but it seems like they won the local local elections, you know, in those not parliamentary elections, but they it's like the way wave and it seems like Nel Faraj has the quite high chances to be victorious.
He could he has quite high chances to be a prime minister.
I would say even like that. Even like that. It's not a good scenario for us, of course, but potentially it could be like that.
Yeah. Sadly, but what can we do? Yeah, those populist they're always popular, especially right now. Not always, I mean, but right now they're popular. Now there is the change in the moods in Europe elsewhere. Yeah.
Bumas means hi I'm so disappointed. Well yeah those people who support an age of far they are not disappointed.
This is shame. Yeah, for me I also don't like him of course because many from many people from his uh circle they're affiliated with Russia and yeah I'm going to vote conservative. I think Naju is too close to Dhoni.
Okay.
uh liberies they it seems like they lost completely even ins they were the most popular there the Naj far took majority in them yeah in local elections this is not good this is not good but anyways and Nigel is he's uh copy pasting uh rhetoric from Donald Trump, from MAGA, like make Britain great again and basically populists.
Well, I don't think that they will like block the military support for Ukraine even with Reform UK. I don't think so.
But it's going to be more difficult.
Yeah, politics is disappointing. And yeah, still there is the right-wing wave on Europe. I say people people vote for populist except Hungary maybe.
Well, Ukraine also launched the strikes on Russia. You can see it here.
Yeah, some of the strikes occupied territories of Zaparisia, Crimea and drones are flying to Lenin Gratoblast.
laying to Moscow and H. So northern attack today. We'll see.
We'll see. We'll see. Well, in Moscow, Russia has an advanced air defense. They have lots of the units there. It's the priority number one, even more than protecting anything else like refineries, oil ports. Russia, Russia would rather protect Moscow.
So yeah, Ukraine is using this advantage because Russia at the same time takes your defense from very important territories. So yeah, it's good for this policy of protecting Putin first of all of Russia is playing the good favor for hitting Russian infrastructure in general.
I'm too honest to be politician. Yeah, me too. And again, that's why I'll never never go to politics. Well, anyways, I want to listen to what uh Fox News propaganda says about the visit they published like 46 minutes ago the the video about uh the visit. Let's listen to it.
>> Thanks for following.
>> Uh so he was not met. I thought that Kinping personally could meet Donald Trump, you know, like it was then Donald Trump met with Putin, but Pin sent u some of the people. Yeah. Well, official it was a great meeting but without Pin.
I wonder if Xiinping uh was flying to the United States of America if Donald Trump uh would have met him or would meet him. How is this better to say according to grammar of English?
I wonder also there is Trump's son here on the background.
Trump's son some of the officials here this the first visit for the last seven years. Yeah, the last year uh Donald Trump met with Xiinping, but it was the part of the general meeting some general stuff.
Steve Don Yeah. So, there was no personal meeting. So, for Don, meeting with Putin was more important than for to meet Donald Trump. Yeah. Did she greet Putin the last time they met? M it's interesting Kim Januna I know he was like greeting saying farewell see met Putin air plane uh uh Google doesn't give this information. I will go to code.
Uh did uh see met Putin uh at the airplane? Then Putin went to China the last time during their meeting.
Okay. So, close the eyes. Searching.
Yes. Putin's last inerson visit to China was in early September 2025. So, roughly a little bit more than a half a year ago. Then CI held formal talks with him during Shanghai cooperation organization. They also met informally over tea.
No, I mean uh did he met him at the airport right in front of the airplane like Donald Trump met Putin in Alaska?
Clo the eye is stupid.
No, did did not personally greet Putin at the airport in front of the airplane.
Putin arrival in Tanzin for general summit.
All right. What about not the summit but personal meeting? Last personal meeting.
Note the format of the summit cla the model doesn't recognize uh normally ah according to Chinese protocol sends and slowing officials to the airport the formal welcome ceremony happened later outside and so it's according to China protocol but I wonder what they were speaking about >> and so it begins here in Beijing. China rolling out the red carpet for President Trump. We watched it here one hour ago.
Big grand welcome kicking off a two-day summit with serious issues and implications on the line. So good morning, good evening from China. I'm Bill Hemer back here live in Beijing and Sandra. Nice to see you again. We'll find out what we get along the way. How you doing and good morning?
>> We will indeed. It is 9:00 in the morning here on the East Coast. And Bill, good to see you out there. I'm Sandra Smith in New York. Dana is off today. This is America's Newsroom. So, it started, Bill, with all that pomp and circumstance. We watched it together.
Uh, but they will soon be getting down to brass tax. There's so much hanging in the balance at this US China summit. the world's two biggest economies have a lot to discuss on trade, on technology, and then there is of course the issue of Iran.
>> Yeah, the economy. I remember how China overtook Japan as the second world economy. It happened not that long time ago, I would say. Um, and about the war in Iran, we now have the information. It was I think it was published by the New York Times that China is already agreed to supply spare parts for Iranian missiles for Iranian drones and Iranian military in general. They will do it via the third countries to hide it. So there was some sort of the investigation um done by American authorities and Don Donald Trump knows about it.
Donnie knows. Yeah, Donny is more yellow than oxygen pin or he's orange. He's not yellow, he's orange.
Mhm. Mhm. And this is those are the standard colors of uh Fox News, by the way.
Trump is going to kiss ass. I'm just sure. I want to hear the narrative coming from um MAGA propaganda from Fox News. What did they say? Hey, Edinho.
I guess he will have to sell Siberia to China now. Maybe.
>> Yeah, we'll see where the ball moves on that if at all. China is the largest buyer of Iranian oil and right now a fragile ceasefire between the US and Iran hangs in the backdrop. Also I want to comment here that um United States they started the war against Iran together with Israel.
They then lifted the sanctions on Iran together with Russia by the way. And then they like to release oil. Yeah. Iranian oil to the market to drop the general fuel prices and oil prices and uh then they block the straight of hormones and now they say let because it was not working like the strategy was not working properly then they decided to block the straight of hormones together with Iran like the second defense line and um they now complain that China is buying oil. So at first you need to have the plan like why did you leave the sanctions then and later complain about someone's buying Iranian oil. You lifted the sanctions yourself for someone to purchase that oil right because what's the reason now they complain okay >> according to the president before he left Washington that is not however that is not the focus of this trip. I have a great relationship with President Xi and I think it's going to remain that way.
We have a lot of things to discuss. Uh I I wouldn't say Iran is one of them to be honest with you because we have Iran very much under control. We're either going to Oh yeah, Iran under control. Well guys, honestly saying I think Iran well it needs like for its regime maybe nuclear weapons. Yeah. and Qatari officials they're saying that because of the Budapest memorandum that Ukraine was like betrayed by its own powerful allies uh who guaranteed security in case of giving up nuclear weapons. So the only guarantee which exists is nuclear weapon. Yeah weapons many of them it's better. So in one or other way not just Iran but multiple of the countries would search for obtaining nuclear weapons especially those who are in this confrontation areas like for example Middle East yeah Saudi Arabia will be looking for that as well I'm sure about it maybe even Qatar we'll see so Qatar is saying their officials that in around few in few years they didn't specify particular number like there will be nuclear weapons in Iran And you cannot like do anything with that.
And I think it's like a defeat already of the coalition forces of Israel and the United States of America in Iran. Uh it's impossible to win.
The only way is to deploy massively forces announce the draft in the United States. And I don't think that Donald Trump will do it. It will be like his farewell.
So they [ __ ] up and they they will lose in this war. United States will lose in this war without being crushed like Iranian navy crushed, Iranian military aviation crushed. But Iran has something even more powerful than nuclear weapons. And they control 20 freaking% of the world's economy.
World's energy. So the world's economy everything is energized by the energy and uh economy as well. So applying those blockades and control like this is the I think it's called tutwang situation in chess and every other move will deter just deterates the situation for the player.
So here is to swang for Donald Trump and he doesn't know what to do. Well, maybe he will have some of the ideas after flying to China. And China knows that.
China understands how crappy now the situation for Dhi is and for the United States unfortunately together with Dhi.
Uh how United States is losing its influence and China before even told to its um companies if you have some of the American applied sanctions you may proceed. So there they do not uh see sanctions or secondary sanctions are something really outstanding.
So we'll see. But the situation for United States in the war in Iran is it's catastrophic. Close to catastrophic.
Yeah. Not for the army again but for general geopolitics. Yeah.
And the only way of how to dismantle really dismantle Iran, not just blah blah blah through social, not just blah blah blah to reporters, but to deploy massive amount of the troops like it was done in Afghanistan, in Iraq, Kaput regime from inside by doing this military action with thousands of losses and civilians, hundreds hundreds of thousands of losses.
So, this is a mess and I don't think that Trump will do it. If he does it, he is crazy decimated. No, one way or the other, we win. But we're going to be talking about we're going to be talking with President G about a lot of different things. I would say more than anything else will be trade.
>> Wilder.
>> Okay. So they will concentrate mostly on the trade and yeah there was the information that they will speak about um lowering some of the tariffs and opening the trade window for $30 billion.
Okay billion uh mechan who is uh quality than some ex product that cost my country 8 but AliExpress under€1. Why should I not order it from China? It's like we just can't stop ordering from China.
Well, China's products are everywhere.
Actually, most of the equipment that I use here, even some premium equipment is made in uh China.
Yeah.
So, you cannot um like bypass Chinese products. there everywhere elsewhere in every point of the world in the United States and Europe but yeah this is the situation it's the world production center and the west did it to China because of the west China's economy exploded the United States got rid of conscription because of Vietnam if we bring it back he he so fact there is the military draft like according to legislation it's not like completely cancelled. There is the military draft regulations if needed and I am watching this while I think Valhalla FT the guy he's a green beret ex green beret he was fighting in Afghanistan also in some of the other places and he says that United States were very close to announce military draft during all of this anti-terrorist operation in those countries very very close it was barely enough uh people, volunteers and regular army to conduct those operations. He said it was almost done.
Almost. He said, "Well, okay.
>> We'll see. We'll see."
>> Okay. Now, Aisha Hosny reporting with me here live in Beijing. And hello to you.
>> Hello to you. Good evening. Good morning. We don't know still. Hey, the president has previewed what he's going to talk to she about first, and that is trade. He said that he's going to ask Shei to open up China to business with these business executives that he's bringing along with him in this big delegation. We just saw the arrival.
Let's put that up on the screen there.
He was greeted by the vice president of China and 300 Chinese kids, Bill, waving the China and US flags. He said, >> "I wonder how Chinese JD Vance looks like like Chinese vice president." Oh, here he go. Like the video quality is terrible that they show. Maybe it's from the online, you know, in this um online is not working well. This transmission of the data >> trade is the top priority for the state visit, not Iran. Although Iran will come up, he plans to have a long talk with Xi about it. But he says that he does not need China's help when it comes to Iran, noting that China is the one that has a lot to gain from the end of this conflict.
>> Yeah, China really dependent on Iranian oil. Most of the oil from Iran goes to China. Now that oil is being blocked by the United States, they applied the blockade now. So at first they lifted the sanctions on the oil, now they block the oil. So they're looking for the possible solutions and scenarios. So probably they might speak about that one. Um I think that like honestly China will try to bribe Donald Trump directly for him to cancel blockade.
I think it's going to be like that. like we're going to transfer those $30 billion agree on something not towards government government institutions, government um banks. We're going to you know transfer 50/50 to your account and partially there.
A Chinese tanker got through today.
Yeah. So they might bribe Dhy. I think Donnie likes money.
Well, that is what Jake Bro is saying usually like whoever might have some of the influence just give Donald Trump some of the boing 747 like Qatar Airways or something else buy his crypto ragpool scam.
Yeah. So and there's the the thing that this administration is corrupt also tells about this inside trades trades done then don't Trump tweets about something so immediately someone puts bets on the stocks you say gave a tool and died jobs in manufacturing to China and elsewhere all politicans talk about then talking about manufacturing jobs is lower paying jobs.
Yeah, radar.
Yeah. And in America, no one will work in manufacturing jobs that massively as in China.
Those are low paid jobs. And usually immigrants, even illegal immigrants are working there.
If you get rid of immigrants, you'll get rid of your own production, let's say, because Americans will not work for that low salary.
The tanker didn't pass the United States blockade. All they did was traverse the straight from what I see. Anyone got a source to know if it passed the United States block. So we are not sure. Yeah guys less that we are not sure whether it passed or not. Everybody likes JD Vans will convert to ins Islam for a few oil wells. He should convert to Buddhism. He has Indian spouse Hinduism.
>> I don't think we need any help with Iran. We'll win it one way or the other.
We >> So they don't need any help with Iran.
But Iran needs help from China and it receives it.
>> We'll win it peacefully or otherwise. Uh their navy's gone, their air force is gone.
>> Same broken record.
>> Single element of their war machine is gone.
And I want to point out immediately like about gun gun. Yeah, we see that everything is gone.
Uh but I don't honestly think so. I think that after all I think that after all according to the recent reports I saw somewhere that Iran still has like lots of the stuff left in its stock piles.
Um where did I see the article like at least 70% of the launchers of ballistic missiles there survived as well as the great part of the drones and still production capabilities there so they may reproduce or produce uh they need components for that but not that much.
Uh they also have the local components still left.
H it's interesting. We have news published 1 hour ago.
According to Reuters citing uh people familiar with the matter during the conflict with Iran, Saudi Arabia also conducted air strikes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. It was like it's not the news actually.
Iran has again characterized the engagement between RGC and Kuwaiti forces on Buban Island yesterday in a different light with Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araichi claiming that the engagement was instead uh the Kuwaiti targeting on Iranian civilians and demanded their release. He also claimed that the incident was an effort to sow discord.
In clear attempt to sow discord, Kuwait has unlawfully attacked an Iranian boat that detained four out of uh four of our citizens in the Persian Gulf. This illegal act took place near island used by United States to attack Iran.
We demand immediate release of our nationals and reserve right to respond.
So Kuwait took some of the people people maybe even soldiers. They say civilians but they could be soldiers.
Yeah. Citizens not necessarily civilians citizens.
Some people say that Iran uh went on some of the special forces attack Spas forces.
Uh Dennis, have you seen the movie Ground Day Ground?
I don't remember like we have those American movies, Hollywood movies.
I might have watched many of those but I don't know their names because in translation to Russian and I watch all of them in Russian they have different names usually and those names have nothing to do with real names so I don't know what they are talking about.
All right. Uh let's continue with the news. So the fact that there was the report there was the report uh that uh Iran still has lots of the capabilities. At the same time, Dony says about dismantling of Iran completely.
So here's what we expect to be on the table for these talks. China wants to lower tariffs. They currently have a 10% tariff on them. They want to talk about beef sales, soybean sales, artificial intelligence will come up, rare earth minerals for chips. Taiwan will come up.
It is the largest chip maker in the world. And talking about chips, Bill, Nvidia's Jensen Wong jumped on aboard Air Force One in Alaska during the refueling. Of course, Nvidia's most advanced chips. Those are used for training AI models. They haven't been able to get those into the Chinese market just yet because of US restrictions. We'll see if that changes after these talks. And the president, like I said, will be here with a lot of CEOs. They're on your screen right now.
Elon Musk among >> also Musk. Oh yeah, Elon Musk is going.
You see how important? Well, he has the production in China and his cars are really popular there.
>> He was on board Air Force One. Others are.
>> Tim Cook was retired recent or he's going to retire.
I thought he is gunned the CEO of a Apple hing separately here. Trump through social while aboard that he wants you to do business with these folks. So we will see if that is the result of these talks.
>> You know you ask a different analyst, you get a different answer on the question. I just uh look at this picture and u if you combine all of this common wealths yeah common wealths of those people all together and uh also Donald Trump and everyone on board yeah you can buy probably half of the world well there is no bezels and other billionaires but still Elon Musk alone it's like 800 billion how many billions he has has 700 I think or 800 I don't remember but this is crazy >> to do business with these folks. So we will see if that is the result of these talks.
>> You know you ask a different analyst you get a different answer on the question of Taiwan it'll certainly come up. But the Americans have always said Aisha is that anytime they talk with the Chinese delegation >> uh Taiwan >> absolutely >> is part of the conversation.
>> You know I spent some time in Taiwan a couple years ago and they have a completely different perspective. The Chinese just a couple of days ago actually put out a statement saying that this is going to happen that that Taiwan really does belong to them has historically always belonged to them.
>> What she means does she mean uh this is going to happen? Talks or something with Taiwan >> and secession talks really don't need to come up. The Taiwanese feel very very differently about this. I spoke with the ambassador of Taiwan to the US a couple of days ago. I asked him if he feels like what's happening in the straight of Hormuz is giving she more confidence to perhaps do a blockade of his own in the Taiwan Strait which would be devastating uh for the global economy because Taiwan produces the most chips in the world. Uh and the ambassador told me, you know, he should think twice. He should look at what happened in Venezuela and he should look at what's happening in uh Iran and the street of Hormuz. Uh the US would not let that happen.
>> Good to see you again. you as well >> along for the ride as we go.
>> Absolutely. Here we go.
>> All right.
>> I just missed this point.
>> What's happening in uh for the global economy because Taiwan produces the most chips in the world. Uh and the ambassador told me, you know, he should think twice. He should look at what happened in Venezuela and he should not let that happen.
>> Uh he should uh ambassador told about Yeah, of course. Uh United States will will do nothing about China. Nothing will happen even close. So yeah, ambassador of Tai Taiwan is too optimistic about the United States in this case. China is a freaking China.
It's a big country in a clear country.
No one will commence those Madura style operations there.
>> You again you as well >> along for the ride as we go.
>> Absolutely. Here we go.
>> All right. Want to bring in Dennis Wilder now, former director for China.
You know this topic very well. And sir, good morning to you back there in the US and thank you for your time. I was struck by what you told our producers.
You believe both leaders coming into this believe that they have the high hand. What does history tell you about?
>> It's like with talks with Iran. Both of those delegations they believe in a high hand. United States with Dhi we are winning. We've won already. And Iran tells absolutely the same. The rhetoric is very similar. demands are similar.
This is great. There's not it's not going to end well I guess the situation with Iran.
I also like she said about chips and uh I have this thought now thought uh that we have our dependent resources like everything dependent on them on oil for example gas and chips and those resources are concentrated in kind of the creepy points of our planet earth. Yeah, the situation in Taiwan may escalate and there will be huge lack of the chips. The situation in Middle East is always fishy. Yeah. Ready to explode any day and it has already exploded. Hi Johnny.
So yeah, this is this is the strange construction of our planet of how it evolved into this barrel full of folder folder powder powder. Yeah, >> that's right.
Well, um historically, um it can be a good thing. Chairman Mao thought he had the high hand with Richard Nixon. Uh Nixon thought he had the high hand with Mao because Mao was under pressure from the Soviet Union and it turned out that they could find complimentary reasons to move the relationship forward and you're in Beijing today as a result of what they did in 1972.
So even though both of them have their own calculations, these are two very confident leaders. These are two leaders that know they run the most important nations in the world. They know that they have the ability to shape history.
They're very aware of that. And so this is a fascinating meeting.
>> So is Donald Trump really that confident or maybe overconfident? It's better to say Taiwan is too expensive for China to take. Yeah. Taiwan operation potentially it could be it will be. Yeah. If they started it could be in this case it would would be could be uh the biggest military operation in the human history because of the distance because of the resources required. So I think this stop stops China. If Taiwan was uh closer if Taiwan was accessible by ground I think China would have already occupied it.
But um this difficulty plays the great role here and also the presence of allies of course everything plays the great role. Uh however we know that with Donald Trump there is some window window not just for Russia but also for um China in this case because uh I actually do not expect harsh reaction or prompt reaction is better to say from the White House administration if China starts um unexpected military action on Taiwan or expected it wouldn't doubt if Trump bails on Taiwan like he bailed on Ukraine. Yeah. And uh he canled also some of the military support for Taiwan because he needed munition for his military campaign in Iran.
>> Okay, Dennis, what is the main goal for the US president? Conversely, what is the main goal for President Xi?
>> Well, for President Trump, he said it.
It is trade. uh we have still a $200 billion dollar trade deficit with the Chinese. Uh what he hopes is that China will open its markets more. As he talks about, it's not about free trade, it's about fair trade. And right now, the Chinese hold American companies out of key sectors. One of the people on this trip, for example, is in the medical area, and American medical science has a lot of opportunities in China.
Obviously, you talked earlier about Boeing aircraft. There may be a deal for 500 Boeings, um, beef, soy beans, but there are a lot of other things that Americans can sell to China if it opens its markets, but at this point, it keeps some American products out because they >> Yeah. because of the tariffs that Donald Trump applied and about Boing, China cancelled cancelled the contracts with Boing after those tariffs applied like like this is the full scale tariff war at least it was it went absolutely unhinged with more than 200% of the tariffs later on um taco tacos taco and because it was harming United States economy too too much now the tariffs are way lower I'm I'm not sure about the actual number. Well, the Fox News say 10% or they want to cut by 10%. I'm here.
I'm not sure. Guys, keep mentioning the auto industry because it's the dominant sector in my area. Well, yeah, actually American cars are quite popular, especially those electrical cars like Tesla. They're very popular in China. I think it's the most popular car. Tesla Model Y. I think is the most popular car in China.
>> Don't want them compet competing with lesser quality local products on the she side.
>> Yeah. My sense coming into this is Yeah.
I'm sorry. Sorry about interrupting you, but it's my sense >> that these two men are still in the state of relationship building. Continue on President G for interrupting you.
>> That's right.
That's right. And you shouldn't look at >> they went to build some of the relationship. Okay, like a date or something. PM. Hi, PM Nutrion. What's up?
>> At this as a one-off event. Remember that there is opportunity this year for four meetings. Obviously, the president has invited Shei back to Washington for a return visit, but there's also the G7 summit and the G20 summit this year. I have never seen a year where the two leaders would meet more often and they have that in their mind. So let's not look for everything to be resolved in this visit. That's unrealistic. But it lays the groundwork for a pretty interesting year in the relationship.
>> Yeah. Well stated. Listen to Senator Lindsey Graham and Secretary Hex on Iran's >> Okay. Okay. Lindsey Graham and Hexit.
Okay. two of the delusional idiots >> influence or lack thereof with regard to uh to China and also China's influence with Russia. Just listen to this exchange.
>> Does China buy 90% of Iranian oil, Mr. Secretary?
>> China buys a very large percentage of >> Okay. 90% is pretty large. Uh so does China buy are they largest purchaser of Russian oil and gas?
I would imagine they're up there, Senator.
>> They are. They're the largest. So, President Trump, when you go to China, realize that the person you're talking to is propping up Russia and Iran.
>> So now there there is a there >> Yeah. Yeah. That's the issue. That's the issue. They support adversaries of the United States, but for Donald Trump, Russia is not the adversary.
Donald Trump is quite okay with Putin.
>> A common belief on the US side that China and President Xi have massive sway with Iranian leadership. I don't necessarily take from your comments that they do. With regard to the IRGC, how much influence does Beijing have today uh on the war front, sir?
>> Well, I think President Trump has calculated this well. The reason he's saying he's not going to go to the Chinese, in part because we are in a good position, but in part because he knows they really don't have the kind of sway that some people would say they have.
>> Tran sells oil to China, but remember, we are talking about a theocracy versus a communist state. They don't have a lot in common in >> Yeah, I agree. They don't have a lot in common, but somehow they cooperate.
Russian world and Russian peace has has nothing in common really with North Korea. Their strange religion state, you know, religion, communism or some strange ideology. They have nothing in common. Uh Russia and Iran has nothing in common also for their ideology. Even beliefs are different mainly. Well, there are some Muslims in Russia but way less than in Iran. So, but they cooperate because they're dictators and they are capable to sell drones. They're capable to transfer goods, equipment, artillery shells, North Korea alone supplied Russia with more artillery shells than Ukraine obtained from all of the allies including the United States. So, even though he says that this expert says that it's not enough support for those, they're different. They're different, but they're capable to unite. I would say even stronger than current Western partners. Unfortunately, especially with Donald Trump who came to power, it seems like for him the difference between allies and uh potential enemies doesn't exist. He treats everyone the same and more even um preferable or how to say it better in his mood towards uh dictators like Putin >> many ways. Sure, China wants the straight of Homus reopened.
um it would like to get back to selling weapons and buying cheap oil from the Iranians, but really there's not an awful lot of evidence that they have a a big pull with IRGC or anybody else.
>> Former CIA deputy assistant director for East Asia, Dennis Wilder, you spent a lot of time in this.
>> Former CA deputy. Okay, maybe he knows more than me. I'm just a guy on YouTube, but it seems like I also read media. So that's why I'm I'm sure that I'm more correct about this topic that China really might support, for example, Russia a lot.
Okay, it's time for the comments. Steve the Troy back in Trump, this is for you.
He doesn't see you.
What is happening with JD Vance? Uh Vice President Vance after speaking with envoys Vitkaf and Kushner says Iran talks are still progressing but that Trump needs to feel confident that we've put a number of protections in place such as Iran will never have nuclear weapons.
Okay. Okay. So, oh, this is uh this is Russia.
Not a nuclear explosion yet, but something similar. Uh at night, Ukrainian special operation forces attacked the Russian Taman nifty gas oil and gas terminal and the port of Tamman on Russia's Black Sea coast. And this is the image from the port itself looks like.
And yeah, this looks amazing.
A mushroom cloud is always nice to see.
Sigin pin looks like Vinnie in the pool.
Yeah, that's my green. Yeah, I trust a put head a day more than an alcoholic operated crack. Yeah, typical Russia. Yeah, nowadays Russia really suffers with long range strikes.
Yeah, this one this one is very important. So New York Times uh with the article United States intelligence reports that Chinese companies have discussed secretly selling weapons to Iran via third countries to conceal the shipments for them not to be direct. So third countries some of them could be used for this shipment.
Marupo theater book will be released on a week. Why is this being forgotten?
Yeah, today I got in my recommendations.
What's the name of the guy?
Preston Stewart. Yeah, he came out with his video. I think I going to share it on my channel and we're going to speak about it about Marupal and the drama theater that was really hit hard.
Yeah. about Ukraine. We have just the update from Kate from Ukraine. She's definitely from Ukraine and she reports about explosions uh fourth and fifth explosions in hierarchy loud windows are shaking [ __ ] Uh so she reports she's often on Twitter. That's why I still have my account on Twitter. I know that many of the people they closed their accounts but uh I just follow some of the people who still post there and that's why I keep my accounts our experts or what the hell is that?
SSO capture to occupiers.
Oh those storming actions are usually happening. Yeah, especially nowadays then the weather becomes better. Both of the sides intensified those kind of the attacks. Um Okay, they're alive.
>> They will they want McDonald's. They will eat McDonald's later on.
>> So they they survive. They will leave.
Those are Russians who surrendered. Very interesting. Had a big Hi, Swain.
Hit the thumb up to support the channel.
Yeah, guys, don't forget to press the like to the stream if you watch me on YouTube.
Um, Marupal Port is now operating as a full military civilian logistics hub with Russian tanker Evania approaching to its second May call. Rogers from Yes to Marupal are being uh roots roots not Reuters roots from Yes to Marupal are being registered directly.
Uh despite partial transponder games unloaded in the ports and reportedly disturb distributed onward by the rail and by the road with the vehicle leg handled by mainly military. Okay.
So, Y and across uh the sea to Marupal not a huge leg here 100 something kilometers.
Hey Evelyn, how are you doing? Hope you're doing great.
More strikes happen on Russia. Uh the last day we have motorcycles. Crazy boys.
The general staff of the armed forces of Ukraine has confirmed strikes on Tiger Tamagas oil terminal in Wna. Kadarski cry where the fire was recorded reported I think. or record it on video.
I know this facility handles the trans trans shshipment of oil fuel and diesel fuel and liqufied hydrocarbon gases in supplies are needed to Russian occupation forces. Hm. In addition, Ukraine for strike command post near Staro Malinfka Solidar and Kosuanka Kushian a UAV control point in ME as well as concentration of the enemy manpower in several sectors.
Yeah, quite a loud night was for Russia.
I hope and of course on the ground news we have on page number one Trump arise in Beijing for the talks with China. See on the run war trade. Okay this guy tells that Trump is on epsin files. probably he is Fox News. We have on top podcast options NCB or sorry SBS news. What is SBS?
I don't know. Very highity. Hopefully it's accessible.
Come on. I need to click on the article itself.
What is this? This is French or what?
And immediately I have recommendations.
Microphones, cameras. Yeah, exactly what I like.
Some of the girls maybe also. No, sometimes they also happen. Donald Trump arrived in China. Okay.
accompanied by his son Eric and Lara.
Uhhuh.
Letter's wife. The America president followed Secretary of State Marco Rubia, Secretary of Defense Pet Hacket was greeted upon arrival in Beijing. Okay.
I received with the great Okay.
The location of the businessman including Ela Musk. Well, nothing really new so far.
Two superpowers engage in a fire straight since uh first straight war in 2025.
Since 2025.
Ah, like I I kick the wrong news here.
Well, anyways, nothing to see here. I expect the meeting might happen. Well, it's the night time in China, I think. So, tomorrow morning, Mr. Ketamine goes to China. Yeah.
He knows what Dennis wants. AI. Yeah, it's not AI. It's like Google. Does it use AI to know what I want? I think I just Google sometimes something and it just gives me most people have no idea what GDP means. Most of the time it's not relevant to the topic in hand. Yeah.
It's like that, you know. Just yesterday, one of my videos, it went I wouldn't say viral, but I have like plus 300 subscribers on my Twitch.
Uh this is my page. I wonder what like which one went viral.
I just uploaded it on uh yeah, here this one. Update from Ukraine. Fantastic news. Ukraine pushed Russian army in south direction on YouTube. It also went number one. Yeah. For the last week at least. And I never had such big number of the views, so many like shares, reposts, likes, 1.1,000.
That's that's great.
Uh but the rest of the videos, this is my repost.
Usually it's like 250 views, but that one got thousands of views. 205 one like half a thousand.
This is not mine.
220 100 like that one went absolutely viral.
See this one 87 and this is the stream.
So yeah, getting more subscribers on Twitter.
Maybe we'll try to sell them recalled cyber tracks.
I don't like the cyber track. Have you seen this feature with the veil that it has this control by wire system and there is the huge delay for uh wheel rotation and change the direction of the and the steering of the wheels themselves.
Hence the correction have a direction taxation for now. Okay.
Yeah.
uh news for Ukrainian refugees and I want to go to a Ukrainian day. It will happen in Germany, but it's like at least 5 hours from me by car and I'm still thinking to go there. I need to book some of the hotel and you know I work every day so probably I'll not go but I really want to to join some of the community like for Ukrainian day there will be some of the food some of the celebration some of the meeting the idea is to collect the funds for ambulances like this is kind of the charity day but at the same time it will be like Ukrainian day for this like a session you know like the meeting.
European Union may extend protection for refugees from Ukraine till 2028. EU special representatives for Ukraine of Ukraine 2028. Given the current situation, I think the European Commission will propose to extend for another year. I think EU member states will agree to this. Yeah, I also think like that it will be extended. they don't have that alternate and the strikes uh in Ukraine they happen and they happen elsewhere also in the western Ukraine today it was hit and for the first time um Hungary called an ambassador of the Russian Federation to explain why they attacked um the place with Hungarians because in transcarpatian region I think it's called well zakarati maybe transcarpatian region yeah in English we call it Zakarpata. So behind Karpian mountain uh this is Ursared. So the place where lots of the Hungarians live relative to like rest of the Ukrainian obelist still they're like minority but many of them live there and uh Magar Peter Magar called uh Russian ambassador um to explain why those attacks are happening on nationals Hungarians it's very bad or something like that and u they're looking for maybe to apply and not extra sanctions but they will do something like some action what kind of the action we'll see but imagine imagine the same move from Orban it wouldn't be possible so even though some of the European countries so like for example Norway well it's not the part of EU but still and by the way Switzerland uh they say that oh there are the places they apply to legislation yeah that there's some of places in Ukraine, some of the regions where it's safe. Actually, it's not safe elsewhere, especially with those Russian strikes. And I know that uh family in Leviv uh like it was perished because of the Shahid drone strike. And like it is happening very often and this is stupid that they announced that some of the regions are safe. It's not safe.
You flew your drone above the clouds about 10 years ago. That was so cool.
Josh Dio. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
I'm not sure whether it was 10 years ago. Was it 10 years ago? Really? I think it was just before the war. I think it was in 2021 above the clouds. Yeah, I think I have this video head.
I was stupid because, you know, uh it's dangerous to fly DJI drone like FPV you can fly. Yeah, it's easy. But DJI drone has sensors and if the clouds they're more or less dense you can go and you will not be capable to go back. So usually you don't have sensors on the top so you can penetrate the cloud but if they are quite moist thick clouds if you try to descend drone would understand it as the ground and there is no option to cancel those uh uh ground sensors which are located below.
So you can go to the sport mode and you'll have side sensors off or you can switch them off manually. But there is no option for like drone things that it is landing.
So you cannot like penetrate the clouds from above below. Well, I hadn't hadn't got this issue maybe because clouds were not that moist.
Uh but uh I saw multiple of the clips and people in the comments they told me, "Dennis, never do it again because you may like lose your drone because it will just fly there. It will think that it's o over the ground and it will fly until the battery has been depleted and it goes like something like ah it will start like descend. Yeah, it will start to descend to the surface like it will it will go down like descend to the surface but the surface is not the ground. So drone will think that it it is landing on the ground but you'll have like several hundred mters to go and the battery is not enough to continue. So drone thinks that it's like landing and it goes just into the cloud. battery has been depleted and it goes down.
So yeah, that is how people lose the drone sometimes above the clouds.
I already flown through the clouds.
Nice. Well, it depends on the model of the drone. I think Mini 3 is okay for that.
There is some visible ring around Prague Castle. A drone which gets to close lens.
Yeah. Could running out of power could cause a force landing. Yeah, of course.
But it will try to land on the cloud.
Let's see. Lots of the Chinese people tourists in the United States. They are dressed well and behave very well except they seem either afraid to speak or concided or they have poor English. So very friendly.
Yeah, they're they're okayish. I mean they're educated people in China now getting more educated but of course they're uncomparable to Japan people they're very more educated in China like tourists they're more educated than people in China themselves there they can you know how to call this in like boogeymans they're they're h they may they may cough they may spit, they may throw garbage. Well, not in the main cities already like big cities uh Shanghai, Shenzhen, Beijing, but sometimes it is happening.
In the smaller cities it is happening.
I was in China Xiang and um it's kind of dirty.
The hotel was dirty.
It's not rockets. Yeah, it's not Yeah, we have the report about it.
Ukrainian drone operators. That's the video I filmed today. Ukrainian drone operators overhelmed NATO forces during exercise in Sweden. Associated Press.
During drills on the island of Gautland, Ukrainian UAV operators acted as the simulated enemy. They carried out a mock attack on the island which was being defended by NATO forces. Uh being defended so didn't didn't occupy.
Harsh thumbnail I created. One operator with Kos and Taric said Swedish troops halted the exercise three times to rethink their tactics. According to him in real battle those units would have been destroyed.
So yeah maybe they defended Gotland on the paper.
Uh Sweden Sweden's army chief Michael Biden Biden Biden it's all about Biden or it's all because of the Biden say that after the drills NATO forces urgently need to learn modern drone waffer from Ukraine. The experience of Ukrainian UV operators is now considered among the most advanced in the world. Ukraine is currently discussing drone technology partnerships with Romania, Latvia and Finland and has already reached an agreement with Lithuania.
>> Scenario is about we have on the eastern side of the NATO borders on the eastern side like Finland and the Baltic states we have a massive buildup of enemy units. So concentration of units on that side. Of course, they will not say like uh that we [ __ ] up completely to the press like everything is polite, but it seems like yeah, mostly comments are coming from our guys drone operators.
They say that cheese.
We also have within Sweden, other allied nations, we have hybrid activities. It's an increased level of hybrid activities like sabotage, cyber attacks, uh influence operations, things like that.
>> They are miles ahead of us when it comes to drone warfare. So, we we really appreciate them coming here to share their experiences with us and we have a lot to learn from them.
I I think with what you see here though we're able this is a priority obviously by still having US capability here we maintain a priority to continue to >> even United States are there >> train and exercise within NATO and involved >> what the [ __ ] is this what is this ugly plane >> still having US >> it's the piloted airplane right it's the first time I see this [ __ ] >> capability here we maintain a priority to continue to train and exercise within NATO What the hell is this?
I need to ask. It's good that we have now artificial intelligence.
What the What the hell is this? I I'm not sure.
But let let's take some pictures from the screen.
And uh yeah, what is this plane?
It's the It's not a drone, you see. Uh I mean this one, it's not a drone. It has glass in front. So it's the piloted airplane.
Some some very small one. And for what's the purpose?
Uh looks looking as images. It appears to be a helicopter.
What?
Okay. Clo the eye is stupid.
Let's ask Chipeti.
Okay. Once again, I need to have to take the photos.
It's close the eyes says that it's the helicopter.
Mhm. Mhm. I believe and I thought like this. What is this plane? No, no, it's not a plane. Is why German? What? Why German? I'll call.
Welcome to Twitch.
Cha PT is analyzing a lot.
McDonald's in China serves rice as well.
Yeah, in Indonesia too. In most of the Asian countries, it serves rice because it's very popular.
What is this plane? It's still thinking.
Chach is still like what what have you presented? Your stream show me like German.
How?
Where do you see that? Uh like German.
You mean the country? Is it out there somewhere?
I don't know.
It seems like everything in English. No.
No or yes, it's military observer.
I'm not uh Yeah. Is it military observer? I'm not sure. It's still like thinking. It's still thinking. Chip is shocked. It's we we broke AI with this image.
Where do you come from, bro? Well, I am now streaming from Switzerland, but I'm from Ukraine. Clothe is not really multimodel, just export. Ah, I see.
Okay. It looks mostly like Pilatus PC 6 turbo port.
Single. It says single propeller in the nose. No, it has propeller in the back.
Come on Pen Gen Freud, but I don't know German. I'm sorry.
It's some sort of the ultra light plane.
Yeah, for a maximum to pilots. Maybe a single pilot. I think it's used for surveillance.
But in re in real war, in real war, no one uses that stuff any longer.
Those are drones uh which conduct surveillance operations. Like what? Why?
Literally read my last message. I just told you the plane really.
Dallas, Dallas, Dallas. This is a beta technologies Alia electric cargo plane.
Ah okay. We we should cross check where where where is it?
Thanks for telling me like ah this is your comment aliyah.
Okay thank you. Thank you. Thank you Dallas.
Let me see.
>> I see you.
>> We have advertisement. I'm so sorry.
>> Magnesium is pink.
>> Go on YouTube. Space 44 super agents >> and advertisements once again. Then you switch it.
Okay. Okay. Skip. Oh, this thing. It's big. Actually looks big. Yeah.
>> Paris Air Show where electric aircraft are turning heads. Right behind me is Beta Zali CX300 aircraft. We're going to be hearing from the company's founder, Kyle Clark, about what they're doing to bring this to market.
Wow.
Looks like Mercia.
>> So, Beta's approach to getting these aircraft into commercial service is a little bit different. They're starting.
>> Can you teach me some Ukrainian uh buds? It means cheers.
What do you say as then before you drink in Germany?
with a conventional takeoff and landing version of the aircraft. And the reason they're doing that is because they believe they can complete the certification process more quickly than for the full VTOL version.
>> I thought it's small, but it's huge. You see, this is crazy huge. It has turborop engine, not even a piston one.
What the hell is this? the place for the fuel >> more quickly than for the full VTOL version that will come a little bit later. Today, we've also had some fresh news from Beta. Republic Airways has signed an agreement to take delivery of one of these Aaliyah aircraft. It's going to use it to train its pilots and also to work out what sort of routes might be viable. The suggestion is that in the long term, Republic may take multiple examples of this aircraft and use them for a variety of cargo and passenger carrying versions.
>> Thank you guys all for covering this >> in Switzerland in Canon Tsuri.
Oh, come on.
Uh I don't know why they used it. Like sometimes I think that European politicians and European system is too corrupt.
because no one uses in the war those like this airplane is kind of useless.
It's better to just get a helicopter if you really want to transport something.
It's more versatile like than the car airplane flying under fire there like it's no one uses those for helicopter sometimes like landing operation was done by Ukrainian H using 60 in Pacross direction. and I report about it. Um, but this plane like it could be profitable. It could be profitable. Yeah, I'm not saying that it's uh completely useless if you put um some Gatling cannon as Ukraine did with Anton of 28.
Yeah, some Gatling cannon on the side to shut down the drones, but uh as a cargo delivery aircraft as they show on the front line somewhere. Um, can it drop something from it like from the altitude?
I I don't see the ramp really.
It's It doesn't exist. I mean, the ramp is not there. It like what's the use of this cargo thing? It opens from the side. Like, where is the door?
It's like the whole construction.
Ah, here's the door. Here is the door from this side. Mhm. Could be good for the skydiving by the way.
Just remove this door and uh this could be perfect for skydivers. I think you may take six sky divers per once maybe more >> of a rule that we set at beta which is we don't show up.
>> Looks interesting. At first I thought that it's ugly. Now I see it's kind of interesting airplane but again what's the use for the like it's better to have some of the helicopter honestly >> to an air show unless we fly the airplane there. So it was a driving force to get the airplane here and uh and a little >> as a anti- drone airplane could be good.
You have a very big ramp. You may put u for sure it will carry may carry gatling gatling cannon and you may have many of those searching for shits like here you can see also good for some business trips. Yeah, potentially this airplane I see it. I see it. It's it should be good good one but for military use on the front lines as they show not really. TUV Ireland to build a network in >> that that thing that thing is more important UH60S I think this one >> to Europe that little plug right there is the same plug you use to start a jet through a auxiliary uh power converter that's what that plugs into so now we get to put that in the back of the airplane land at any airport charge it up and keep going and people ask us all the time how did you stop at 80 airports in us, but we do it by putting that charger either in the plane or having them prepositioned plus the network that we're on. A couple quick things about the airplane and then we'll get on to the only thing with this charger like he says, okay, we have those connections in every airport that is uh the socket that is used to power up airplanes and every sort of the uh gate or something. But this is kind of expensive as well because usually you have a separate generator working and this plane well on a gate you have the common power supply. Yeah. So then usual airplane a big commercial one or a smaller commercial one arrives to the gate gate goes and you have this kind of the uh connection uh it's called ground power. So you connect ground power, you switch off your engines or auxiliary power unit which is the smaller engine and that's it. Airplane stays energized from this airport power from gener like from the general system of the airport. But this is not the plane which will be parked on a gate. No one will put it to the gate.
The gate doesn't exist for those smaller planes. So it will put will be put separately on remote parking stand right on the apron and for it to be charged in this case they either should be the connector coming from the ground like the sockets and they are quite rare or as in most of the cases there will be a separate generator should be delivered to power this airplane and the generator the pl um the usual generator uh GPU.
This is a big loud and expensive thing.
Yeah, some of them are smaller, but usually in big airports, you'll have at least something like that. At least something like that. So, this is the cart. It's been delivered by tractor or something. And it energizes the airplanes usually. Yeah, like this one.
So it's the diesel generator that is made especially to power uh airplanes. Why aircraft need ground power? Yeah. So if you're on a remote stand and if you need ground power uh usually those cards are being delivered and for that small airplane if they say that uh it's going to be cheaper. Well, maybe yeah, it's cheaper to burn diesel to refuel the airplane, but it also I have the questions in this case like how much time how long it might take to uh recharge the battery.
Sometimes you have the those trucks even as GPUs. Yeah.
Yeah. Some some airports they have mixed like there is a GPU AC.
Uh I wonder if we'll have it here. So you have air condition and GPUs all together. If you're lucky you'll have it right on the apron stuff, but it's very very rare.
By the way, ATR, Avion transportal, Avion transport, I think it's the name in French, ATR.
So yeah, um still you use this um those things from airport. It's not. It's maybe cheaper, but yeah, >> that motor you see over there, H500A, that's our first major C.
>> Also about those GPUs, they're sometimes not available.
They don't have like lots of the GPUs for every parking stand. So, it depends on airfield capacity in particular day.
Yeah.
Uh we al best do mine fluent.
Uh I will teach you some ger uh some German. Germany. German. Okay.
Uh the only potential I can see is some sort of the stealthy operations. It would emit less heat and sound from the engines. Yeah. And also itself the airplane itself is made from composite materials.
So they're um they're less radar reflective compared to alloy.
My stepdad used to skydive in early 2000s and I would go up to with him in Cesna 182. Spent hours and hours in a small 182 turbo prop. Flew it a few times. Oh, Austin toaster. I I I'm surprised.
182 is great. Okay, I'm going to leave you with that. I going to go to bathroom and return in a few minutes.
All right, >> behind me is Beta Zali CX300 aircraft.
We're going to be hearing from the company's founder, Kyle Clark, about what they're doing to bring this to market.
So Beta's approach to getting these aircraft into commercial service is a little bit different. They're starting with a conventional takeoff and landing version of the aircraft. And the reason they're doing that is because they believe they can complete the certification process more quickly than for the full VTOL version that will come a little bit later. Today we've also had some fresh news from Beta. Republic Airways has signed an agreement to take delivery of one of these Aaliyah aircraft. It's going to use it to train its pilots and also to work out what sort of routes might be viable. The suggestion is that in the long term, Republic may take multiple examples of this aircraft and use them for a variety of cargo and passenger carrying versions.
>> Thank you guys all for covering this thing that we find very, very important.
Obviously, it's uh it's a passion of a whole lot of people at Beta. As you guys know, this is Aaliyah. This is our conventional takeoff and landing version. We have this version and a vertical takeoff and landing version. We just flew this here from Ireland through the UK, across the IRC, across the English Channel, and got clearance to fly here at the Paris Air Show, which uh what was which was kind of the punchline of a rule that we set at Beta, which is we don't show up to an air show unless we fly the airplane there. So, it was a driving force to get the airplane here.
And uh and a little bit about the aircraft. The aircraft has five batteries in the belly of it. It's got a dual redundant electric motor on the back. Everything about this aircraft is identical to the vertical takeoff and landing except we omit the vertical lift props off this aircraft. And so our market entry strategy here is cargo logistics and passenger in sele utilizing all that manufacturing and certification expertise into VTOL and our belief is that actually puts us in market in VTOL passenger faster than anybody else in this space. This flight over here in Europe and a whole sequence of flights which end up in Norway flying uh 6 months of missions proving the reliability, utility and most importantly the economics. We just did some flights in uh in the US into JFK.
Flew from the Hamptons into JFK and it was $7 of electricity, which is usually somewhere around $350 to $500 of fuel.
So, the economics of this is awesome.
Our customers need to see it to believe it. And so, that's where Bristo is taking the aircraft and flying 6 months of missions to see the economics of it.
Uh we have our charging systems here.
There's a small charger on the left. We have a 30 and a 60 kW charger. That charger is just completing CE, which is uh through TUV, a mark in Europe that allows us to have a certified charger in Europe. Last year, we completed UL certification on that charger. We have a network all through the US, and we're launching out of Ireland to build a network into Europe. That little plug right there is the same plug you use to start a jet through a auxiliary uh power converter. That's what that plugs into.
So now we get to put that in the back of the airplane, land at any airport, charge it up, and keep going. And people ask us all the time, how did you stop at 80 airports in the US? But we do it by putting that charger either in the plane or having them prepositioned. Plus the network that we're on. A couple quick things about the airplane and then we'll get on to that motor you see over there, H500A, that's our first major certification program. It's a dual redundant motor that that has 575 horsepower peak, 400 horsepower continuous, fivebladed prop for noise, and then the cargo volume here.
So, don't take a picture of me cuz I'm 250 lb and 67, but this cargo volume here is roughly equivalent to what a free pack sprinter van is. So now when UPS or Amazon brings cargos to cargo to where they're going, this thing's chock full 200 cubic feet and the package density has been tuned to match that 200 cubic feet, 1250 lb, 5 to 6 lb per cubic foot. That all comes out and goes in a van for distribution. The shelf height here matches the bell height. All of that thoughtful engineering goes into making this a cargo and logistics airplane.
This is the uh the launch of the Garmin G3000 Prime here um where we actually have partitioned software to do the flybywire system, the batteries and all the propulsion. So all those synoptics have been reviewed by the FA.
>> I just don't understand uh the design.
Why do they have those kind of the how do you call those launcherons between horizontal stabilizer and the wing?
I would understand if they had for example engines there installed like to reinforce this part with the construction but they had a a single motor on the back. So is it the place where they store fuel >> reviewed by the FAA and put into this aircraft first?
So the uh the exciting part about today is uh we just executed an agreement with Republic Airlines to provide a very similar aircraft to this to start crew training this year in the US at all of their relevant routes leaning into identifying the routes that they're going to launch our aircraft on. Uh so this is going to be for both cargo and passenger aircraft and it's starting with STOL and will go to VTOL aircraft.
So this is a a big a big uh deal for us to get into that executed agreement.
>> Uh that's the structure design for the next motors. Dennis, you missed it. See another photos of or ah I'm sorry.
Well interesting. So they have one frame and they will like it's it it could be a single motor, it could be vital, it could be like nice. It sounds like they're Europeans. Yeah. Better technologies or no Paris aviation international news or are they Americans then for frame strings on the side of cargo area. Uh I have a feeling this company will fold after they get enough funding.
Also could be um there are some of the projects but I would try to test it you know as I tested uh uh this Elixir aircraft but they they're mass producing those they're successful company but this is the project and I would like to like fly it and test in a video. That would be awesome.
Looks pretty cool to me. Yeah, because they want to use same frame for the VTO.
Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah, understood. Thank you guys.
Looks interesting.
>> We have to start by getting the aircraft in their hands, starting the flights, training their pilots, validating their routes.
>> Un retractable landing gear. Well, I'm not sure. I'm not sure.
It would be better for it to be retractable >> maintenance or the lack of the maintenance and uh and moving on to >> these very varied flights into JFK regulators more comfortable because you're demonstrating more to them than if you just stay in the market >> 100%. I mean, I just got down from Cologne at the EASA FA safety conference, and this was exactly the point where was initially they're like, "Hey, we've got a bunch of jets setting up for the the Arnav 13 into JFK." Like, can you keep 130 knots on the way in?
Sure, no problem. Right. They want to know that you can fly those routes without screwing up the balance of traffic. They want to know that we can get in and out of icing safely. Like, this has to be certific.
>> Yeah. Yeah. What's about icing? By the way, I see that probably they have the icing uh elements like boots. We call them boots on the airframe behind on horizontal vertical stabilizers.
Uh they just inflate the like boot and crack crack the eyes. Not like too much effective system, but it works. Uh, but what do they have on the wing? Like I don't see any sort of the icing here.
Just a hollow frame and that's it. Like no any elements which could be heated. I don't think that they're equipped with uh the icing system or even anti-icing.
And here at this model, it doesn't have those boots, the icing boots even on the horizontal and vertical stabilizers.
It's absent.
So even smaller planes um even smaller planes that are equipped with some of the anti-icing and deicing compared to this one. But uh it looks interesting. Yeah, why not? Why not? It sounds like Cali surf dude. Yeah, if it were a European project, it would uh have more faith in it. But too many companies in United States started by tech bros fault uh uh fault after they got enough money to walk away.
So this is still freaking experimental thing. Yeah. 10 months ago it was shown and somehow they're already participating in those military exercise.
Yeah. They're spotted flying over the Gotland Island. Probably United States military took this aircraft. It is United States. This is the United States military.
Swedes would not fly this [ __ ] So this is United. So United States Army they also took part and they flown maybe this aircraft was used to fly to test it and uh to check out what is happening there or I don't know for for what reason it is there I it is still experimental I understand but okay okay okay for the um diagonal stabilizers M. So I I don't see why like still too much [ __ ] is happening in those military drills. It's like clownish if they as for me if they use they need to focus on the real stuff, you know, but they put some [ __ ] there. Okay, it's up to them.
It's better to send some of the drones to develop drones and operate with the drones, not um undeveloped aircraft. They put undeveloped aircraft. Have you seen those aircraft flying on the front lines? I have never seen those. I mean, even small small transport aircraft, they fly they fly but kind of far away from the front lines.
What is this? Iraqi security source to Al Arabia. Two explosive drones targeted at headquarters targeted the headquarters of Iran's opposition party in Erbil. So Iran security source to Arabia to explosive drones targeted headquarters of Iranian opposition party. So Iran is sending drones to air bill to hit uh opposition party located in Iraq.
>> Mhm.
Shark area is ideal for the front line spotting.
What is this? United States Army has canled the deployment of the second armor brigade combat team first cover division. more than 4,000 soldiers and associated equipment to Poland.
Uhhuh.
I heard that Donald Trump himself was telling that United States might send might take the forces out from Germany and send those to Poland. So maybe they're cancelling new deployment to relocate part of the soldiers from Germany to Poland. He says, "We have a good relation with Poland."
Well, maybe it's better. Yeah, Poland is closer to Ukraine, closer to Belarus.
I think for Putin, it is worse than to have United States soldiers in Germany.
I still want a par motor. Oh yeah, param motor is nice. Here, unfortunately, you cannot fly with param motor. Well, you can just on territory of airfield like in the area you cannot just take parameter and fly uh like a glider uh or an airplane here it's forbidden I wonder why in United States you can fly it easily like you can travel on par motor in Ukraine I think as well at least before the war it was possible to fly like people making trips you know they took the they yeah they took the power water and they fall like across Ukraine.
Letting near the gas stations, refilling, flying.
some of the gear, tents, stuff for cooking and yeah, interesting Poland got super serious about getting stronger military. Uh yeah, yeah, yeah.
They're they're refurbishing their military. That's why I don't think that Putin will attack Poland. They're already strong.
Baltics, no. Baltics, um not enough power, sadly.
like air backpacking low. That sounds so funny. Yeah.
So much is happening.
Um, recently I got an email from one of the Ukrainian followers. He's Ukrainian. He has his like some sort of the channel.
Yeah. Not many views, but anyways.
And he was explaining me how it's better for me with my studio.
Don't put the light here. Put the light here. Uh, don't use this one. Don't use mic with a stand like uh this stand like I have it here. Oh [ __ ] Yeah.
So do this, do that, do the shed. And then I I'm like, what the what are you telling me? Come on.
And then I watch his video. He he's using like standard DJI microphone mic 2, even placing it in the wrong position and filming the videos himself near some sort of the lamp. I was like, "Okay, giving me advices." Oh, this is [ __ ] This school channel, where are you? I'm here with you, Keith. Give me five Poland. Good. Yeah, Poland. We I just gave you yellow card. You don't want him to give me red card, right?
What is Ben?
Don't b people.
What the hell? American Airlines flight from Miami landed in Chicago on flat tires. Boing 77 touchdown normally then main gear went flat while taxing. Yes.
It happens just one tire or both tires.
>> We're hearing from passengers who were on this American Airlines plane from Miami that landed in Chicago with two flat tires.
>> Uh two from one side. Yeah, [ __ ] happens.
You can see the plane is surrounded by fire trucks and airport staff. This was after it landed safely at O'Hare late last night. The FAA says the crew reported an issue with the main landing gear tire.
>> And when we landed, they stopped the plane and they said, "Oh, we can't get off because we discovered that both of our main tires are busted." So, we waited almost two hours to get off. Um, just until they figured out how to get us off. Uh, CPD, CFD came, got us off the plane. When we were landing, I thought it was a smooth landing, but my sister was farther back in the plane and she felt it sway a little bit. She thought >> American Airlines says the plane has been taken out of service and will be inspected.
>> Yeah, you cannot put it in service without two tires. I I had the similar case in my aviation career on ATR72.
Uh I landed on a shorter runway and it was like kind of the bumpy the runway was covered with water and I decided to break a little more. I think I got even aqua planning on the landing and um then I stopped. I text like everything went fine. I texted to the apron to the parking stand and uh passengers disembark as usual. And then I walked out from the airplane. I saw like one tire is flat. The other one the other one was still holding but it was like sipping. Uh the air was coming out and yeah just overheated the brakes. So there are some of the special fuse fuses they melt down because of the high temperature and they let air to go just not to not to let tires to explode because of the high temperature there. This is the special feature. So there's some metal in those fuses. It melts at some turn temperature and the air goes out for for chassis not to explode. And yeah, so we lost one tire then other the air was like coming out from another one and we actually carried one tire with us just in case and technician was in every airport. So and it was a remote one.
So he said, "Okay, I'm going to put the tire, but of course we need to order one more tire." And uh yeah, our airline contacted some other airline that was flying there and uh those guys they carried they took tire to us and yeah we changed two tires in general and flow back.
Yeah that that was the case but in Indonesians they're so friendly like I called to my chief pilot and say do I need to say something about this case and he say well if you want you may write some report if you willing to.
Okay.
Like in Ukraine it would be oh this is some some terrible stuff happen but there it's like fine [ __ ] happens.
Tires are surely overrated. Yeah. So just I think I pressed uh too much brakes and because I was not sure whether I may um like the landing was in touchdown zone but the runways usually they're short for Indonesia and it was covered by water so I we calculated the landing distance but always calculate but you never know.
Yeah. So I pressed especially it was my first landing in that airport. So I pressed and both tires went out one by one.
Poland got super serious about the G. Oh yeah yeah yeah I read that one.
So yeah everything something new is happening in aviation those cases.
Did you know that United States may approve the military support? I think we are speaking about eight or n billion dollar.
So in the house there is uh in house of repres representatives there is the discharge petition on bill about military aid to Ukraine. Now the bill is obligated to be put on the vote by passing speaker Johnson. Johnson before cancelled that but because of this petition it went through.
Um, so the bill the bill was introduced by Democrat Gregory Mix back in April 2025. So one year ago, even more. He he proposed allocate to allocate $8 billion aid after all in military aid to Ukraine, direct military support for 2026 in the form of a loan imposing new sanctions against Russia also in the bill and generally strengthening support for Ukraine, including reopening the land lease, although it's not entirely clear what this means in practice. Yeah, of course.
But it is not just about Ukraine. It's also about the Baltic state support for NATO general. The whole package you can throw at them. Yeah.
Naturally speaking, Johnson did not even consider this bill. But in July 2025, Gregory Mix open and discharged petition to put the law into the vote by passing speaker. Most Democrats signed the petition and by the end of 2025, uh, two of the most pro- Ukrainian Republicans, Don Becken and Brian Fitzpatrick, uh, also signed. In April, Democrats secured all of their signatures, but they were one vote short of petition.
And suddenly Kevin Coin uh who is in March left Republican party and became an independent today provided missing vote. So now they have 218 votes for petition. So what is next? The vote is scheduled to make plan uh in the house in the first week of June. So the next month's uh political report about it and the house there will likely to be enough votes to and even surplus to approve it.
Next Senate uh there are two theor like theoretically there would be uh enough votes but without Trump's signature of course it will be stalled. It could be stalled, this project could be stalled by Trump personally.
Uh so in the case nothing will so we are sure that nothing will happen. This is this comes from one of the pro Ukrainian channels. So in the case nothing will happen before the elections in November.
But if the Democrats somehow take over Senate in November, which is still unlikely, although if Trump continues to mess up like this, anything could happen. Then options may appear if there are twothirds of the votes for the package in Senate. If there are two3 votes um Trump it bypasses Trump's signature so theoretically majority of house two/3s of Senate and the military support could be taken.
So we'll keep an eye on this thing. The main conclusion for the United uh for today that support for Ukraine in the United States is very strong still and there's still bipartisan majority and if it weren't for Trump the aid would not have disappeared and yes thanks to Gre Gregory Mix and Democrats who signed the petition Republicans Don Beckon and uh Brian Fritz Patrick uh who go against Trump's policy and already independent congressman Kevin Coin who left Republican party.
So out of nowhere I would say no one put attention on that package and now there is some little tiny chance for it to be taken at least by Congress and Senate.
So very interesting. Very interesting.
Maybe maybe Donald Trump may sign it and say like okay Ukraine is sharing some of the drone technologies with us as you say. Yeah. So it's like we are held in the milit but we are like giving them um like it's it's the some sort of the exchange of technologies he might present it. We're going to give them our mighty army tools. They're still the best but they're best in something else. Uh, we don't really need their help, but okay. Something like that. He might tell.
I think Democrats guaranteed to take House but not Senate. I also think so.
had to be transactional with Trump. You do a deal.
The thing that they are doing is it is a change. What change?
Ben, what are you saying about Smell the inas from us.
Okay, what we have from JD Vance? JD Vance just suspended 1.3 billion in medicated payments to California.
California has some massive fraud red flags including payments for illegal aliens. Aliens. UFO. UFO. He also warning all 50 states. Prosecute fraud or lose your anti- fraud finding.
Stupid pulse.
United States believes Iran could obtain weapons grade Iranium within weeks.
Iran's existing stockpile of Iranium enriched 60% could be further enriched within weeks to 90%.
Which is suitable for nuclear weapons.
United States energy secretary Chris Wright states I think they're speaking about Vicks for 20 years at least.
Yeah.
I think there was the compilation somewhere where Netanyahu weeks weeks weeks they're miles months away weeks away. Well, yes, maybe they are, but they're not making it.
Oh, Charles the third again. Pro- Ukrainian statement.
Uh Charles S announced Britain's unwavering support for the people of Ukraine.
In this unstable world, my government uh will continue to pursue a foreign policy based on the calm assessment of national interest. It will continue to wearingly support the brave people of Ukraine who are fighting on the front lines of freedom.
Uh the king added that the British government will continue to improve relations with European partners, strengthening Europe security and will also fight for long-term peace in the Middle East and creation of an independent state of Palestine.
Sometimes I think that monarchy is even good then you have right monarch in power.
I think it's better than to have Prime Minister Nigel Farage.
But yeah, now monarchy in UK, do they have real influence? I think they still have an influence.
I still this I think they have after all.
It's good that King supports Ukraine that much.
It's actually huge. Maybe one of the biggest supports we have from all of the leaders like Elder.
Uh Dial submit a little did research.
It's true. Step from 60 to 19. It's not near difficult as from 30 to 60. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Perhaps the facilities were fully operational. I think it would be soon but it's also no the downside now negotiations are impossible now Iran has no reason not to get nuclear weapon yeah Iran will get nukes it's their priority and they blackmail with that so they keep uranium at 60% because as you say yes it's correct that enriching uranium from 60 to 90 it's easier and faster so they're always in this state always in state and even on previous negotiations before the full scale war or special military operation they stated that they have 450 kg so we have it it's it was like a blackmail of American delegation so we have it so you should agree with our position on something right but uh Trump's like Kushner Vitkov understood it as the threat and decided to start the war I think it was like Yeah.
Combat veteran is streaming. Oh, nice.
What the [ __ ] is this plane?
Which one?
later.
after.
Oh yeah, I shared it on um on my channel like Russian's offensive on Malotak Machka has surpassed great historical sieges. Malotak Machka is it 1,500 days? I think it's 800 with something.
Makmashka will definitely be the historical textbooks. As a small village in Zaparisia region where about 200 people lived before the full scale invasion uh became a real test for the second army in the world. Russian troops spent around 1,500 days in assault.
Really? I thought it's it's 800 with something but they're never able to achieve success. I think it's 800 with something. No. Or we are just trolling Russians.
with the malmacha.
I think it's one. Yeah. 1,500 also shirt.
Kind of interesting.
Well, maybe they didn't have those direct attacks for 1,500 days. So, Gabriel Tar the fight the sieure continued for 1,320.
Uh, Carthage, Carthage, Carfagen, I we call it Carthage, 100 length of course Rome, the fight for Rome.
Alexandria, Lar Roelle. Oh, I was in Larashell by the way.
France, Jerusalem, Constantinople 53 days. I am surprised but yeah. So Mala Takmachka is a historical thing confirmed. Hi welcome to Twitch. Any news about the Russian cargo ship s of Spain Gibbro that supposedly had two nuclear reactors. Yeah I stream about it yesterday. We have the interview with the captain. He say that those were components for nuclear reactors for the submarines. He he say thinks yeah he thinks whe those are real reactors I know assembled or just the spare parts so far we are out of clue. United States sent couple of the sniffing airplanes two times per the last year to check it out for nuclear isotopes. Um Russia sent its um submarine there.
That's it. That's what we we know.
But still like no real evidence. Just interview like it gives more perspective.
Yeah, he's doomed. Yeah, I think so.
Nigel Farage might not win majority in parliament. He might win 100 of 200 seats.
Could be. Could be. Yeah. Could it it could be like that. Yeah.
Nigel Farage.
So far, no new meetings about Trump.
Mostly Fox News are telling how good this visit is.
Well, there there were not actually too much propaganda.
Trump arises China exin should be worried. Commerce says worried about what?
Yeah. Mostly Fox News is uh that's why it's in a search that's why it's no new news. I thought that there will be the meeting but no it's the night time there still early morning let's say already but they going to meet I think in the at least 6 hours maybe a little later we'll see he arrives that's it I hope he is fine just a book.
Why does Trump the fattest leader not just eat the other ones?
It's like Highlander. The only one survives, right?
Thank you. RNG confirmed. Thank you. TA has no cars.
Interesting to see that Chinese firms managed to make the switch to conducting AI training on locally manufactured cheap sets. It will have strategic implic Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think so too.
But they don't have those uh this kind of the very the highest rating. It is only in Taiwan. China is far from reaching. But they're working. Yeah. So maybe in a few years they'll reach the standard of really small nano chips.
I think now they have 5 nanometer or 2 nanometers.
I think Taiwan has 10 10 nanometers. and working on 20 nanometers, but I'm not sure.
I wonder what Trump will negotiate with likely give China Taiwan and see will help with Iran. Ooh, I think China doesn't have that influence to help with Iran fully. I think Iran is more autonomous there.
But the possible swap could happen. I think in Trump's head it's like that as what you said Iran carrying out the drone strike.
Oh, Russians are still going to tubes.
What is this?
Drone strike Russian armor deporting coupon. They put ammunition there.
Some dubstep.
Yeah. Lots of the shells.
Bam beam bam bam bam bam. And kaboom.
Interesting.
Is China oil reserve still going down because of the Iran war? I haven't heard. I also haven't heard. I think for them it's easier to switch.
I mean switch to the different supplier and they have Russia. Russia supplies lots of the oil to them as well as gas.
So yeah, they obtain mo more most of the oil from uh um those how to call them uh something with my head today. Gulf countries.
Yeah, Gulf countries. But they may always switch and they continue to obtain oil from Saudi Arabia and others or someone Is it the name?
>> Malinski's former press secretary just gave a bombshell interview to Tucker Carlson. It's a bombshell because it's filled with lies. In this video, we'll break down the most outrageous things that Julia Mandal said in her 1 and 1/2 hour long interview. But first, here's what you need to know about Mandal herself. She was Silinsk's press secretary in 2019 to 2021. In 2022, at the height of Silinsk's popularity, Mandal published a book that was highly complimentary of him. Now, as Zilinski faces growing scrutiny, she's publicly criticizing him.
>> Well, he is a dictator. The borders are closed now for 4 years. It's illegally.
>> No, it's not. Ukraine's mobilization law restricts men aged 18 to 60.
>> Actually, it's illegal. She She is right. I mean, Mand Mandela is right. uh the closure of the border is illegal. It was made just with the president's decree. It's it was not even agreed by parliament. It was not a like it's illegal uh that they closed the border.
So she said actually this stuff she said correctly >> from leaving the country and it's rooted directly in the constitution.
>> No no no no no constitution guarantees freedom of movement even abroad. So here she is incorrect and I have to tell about it as it is.
Everyone knows about it in Ukraine. So there is no illegal there is no law that uh closes the Ukrainian border. There is no law.
We can cross check it.
Is there the law that um closes Ukrainian border right now or it's just some of the local degree from um president or prime minister that doesn't have uh that kind of the volume uh compared to legislation and constitution. Please, please cross check and tell me.
Charity knows.
I don't like them. They bust lies with the lies.
So, uh it's better to say I don't I don't like that they bust the interview that was full of lies.
Uh but something was said correctly, but they bust the correct things.
You know, there was lots of that stuff to bust. And this video is kind of short. Show she could have taken anything else, but instead she took everything, all the stuff that Ukrainians know, and no one would trust her with her busting.
Ah, [ __ ] Sometimes like counter propaganda is also like is stupid.
So in Ukraine uh borders are closed illegally illegally. There is no legislation that would close the border.
Everyone knows about it. It's just border control obtained the order from um cabinet of ministry and maybe from Zilinski himself and they closed it.
That's it. There is no legislation. So officially if you go to the court but courts are also they don't give the permission to leave. So there is no legal uh like legislation that uh taken or the law that was taken by Verona rather by parliament that would cancel you to exit the country.
So yeah, it's the martial law, but no, it's nothing there in martial law about exit from the country. It should be different legislation that wasn't taken.
And JPT is still thinking, but maybe it will give me some of the answer.
There is no single simple parliamentary law says the border is closed for Ukrainian men. Uh there is only cabinet ministers of resolution but cabinet ministers resolution it doesn't it is not legislation. So it's legal to leave Ukraine.
The constitution give Ukrainians the right to freely leave Ukraine but also says that it could be restricted by law and there is no um uh article 33 freedom of the movements is among the rights listed absolutely no non-restrictable Well, so yeah.
So there's the cabinet resolution number 57, rules for crossing the state border, citizens of Ukraine. But cabinet resolution, like what is the cabinet resolution? It's not the legitimate. It doesn't have the legitimate power. It is not the law that forbids you to do something. It's just a resolution usually like cabinet uh resolution it gives for some of the government companies. Yeah. For for them how to deal with their services, not for people. They cannot ban people. They cannot ban rights. They cannot ban constitution.
But it is happening. I know it about it because lots of the people they still want to leave.
There is no detailed explanation of uh or details like uh who can leave, who cannot leave. The system is not written in one direct constitutional parliament laws. Uh it's it's implemented through the cabinet resolution number 57.
So, the total B border closer for Ukrainians um for Ukrainian males between 23 and 60 years old.
It's it's a decree, you know, decree.
It's not a legislation.
So, what he she says like which explicitly allows rights to be limited during wartime Wart time doesn't cancel constitutional freedoms. It should be a separate legislation which doesn't exist in Ukraine.
>> And in the summer of 2025, Zilinski's government eased those restrictions for men aged 18.
>> So what?
>> To 22.
>> So it's up to Z. So it again says that there is no direct legislation that controls that. So it's up to Zilinski to decide who goes, who comes.
So there is no like the closure of the borders is illegal in Ukraine. Everyone knows about it in I mean Ukrainians, everyone knows. But it's like with COVID thing. Yeah. There is no legislation about any sort of the COVID those restrictions, but they were applied and stay at home and you or you'll be fined or something. Why? How?
My right is like I have a freedom of movement. I have a freedom of the no virus. And here is the same like uh if government uh needs to do something they don't care about constitution. They don't care about legislation. So here she busted herself. I guess >> for men aged 18 to 22. We are desperate.
Please stop this war. Please stop this nonsense. Please stop this autocracy.
There is no reason why to fight this war.
>> This war is extremely brutal. But Ukraine alone can't stop it. If Ukraine stops the >> Here she is correct. Here I also say like that like stop the war. It's like Zilinski has the right to stop this war.
It's like Zilinski went to Russia with its own army. Yeah. So it's up to Putin.
Putin started this war. Putin should stop it but he's not willing to. So >> in itself it will everything. Whether this war ends is ultimately up to Russia and Ukrainians understand that all too well. That's why the majority rejects any peace deal that would ensure Ukraine's capitulation now or later.
>> There is no freedom of speech.
>> Ukraine just climbed seven steps in the new world press freedom.
Climb seven steps. It doesn't mean that there is the freedom. I would not be capable like I would afraid to say what I say on my channel. uh against Zilansky if I stayed in Ukraine honestly like not against Zilinsky but criticizing him.
Yeah. Corruption schemes and etc. Uh so I wouldn't say uh still there is still there are some of the cases and uh yeah it's better than in Russia of course it's way way way better than in Russia the freedom of press freedom of speech but um there is a telearafhone that is government support and it brainwashes lots of the people in political spectrum not about the war but in political spectrum. Actually, it became worse, I would say, since the start of the war. The freedom of speech before it was, I think, a little better, but not too bad. I mean, not too bad in Ukraine. It's it's okayish, let's say, the freedom of speech and way, way, way better than Russia, of course.
Ranking ahead of the US for the first time in history. And as I'm recording this video, nearly all Ukrainian media outlets, US included, are covering the biggest corruption scandal of wartime Ukraine, one involving uh as for the big media. Yes. And with the earmark, yes, but it like became mainstream already.
But before like one year ago if you say like that um yeah we'll see like there is better change like with uh Andre your mark being uh not detained but and not arrested but at least some some sort of the prosecuted I think it's getting getting better. I think the most of the harsh things uh which were in Ukraine were because of this guy and he was like the real president of Ukraine. Let's be honest. He influenced Zanski a lot in every sphere. He put his people everywhere in Ukrainian Esbu military everywhere. Everywhere is are his people and it's really outrageous.
Now I hope it will be better.
>> People from Zilinski's inner circle.
None of that would be possible in a dictatorship. There is this very strange rule that >> all the cars need to stop at 9:00 a.m.
on the roads.
>> Why she's complaining about it? So it's like the here I like here she she is stupid. This Mandal stupid like 9 a.m. It's like the memory time. So everything stops because of this huge strategy just to recall people who lost their lives. and she like complains about the memory like what >> uh to listen to to the hymn.
>> That's not the national anthem. That's a merit of silence for fallen soldiers and it's not mandatory. You're free to keep driving though if you do stop it might be because you have some basic human decency not because a dictator told you to.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So here she is correct. Absolutely.
>> He goes to the bathroom. He spends there 15 minutes and he's going out energized full of you know action time.
>> Is he a drug user?
>> This is an open secret.
>> Any proofs? Any proofs? Mango man.
>> The thing is that I've never seen him taken drugs. So >> well known. It's an open secret but I have never like what little. Yeah. This this you should bust. Of course.
>> Which is it? She goes from he seemed energized to this is an open secret to I never personally saw him take drugs but people told me and why did this never make it into her book where she called him a revolutionary president after we hear nearly every Russian propaganda narrative about Zilinski. The interview ends with a cherry on top. Mandel addressing Putin in Russian asking him respectfully to please stop bombing her native her son. After 90 minutes of explaining how Zilinsky is the obstacle to peace, she turns to Putin and asks him nicely to stop because I guess deep down even she knows who's actually responsible for this war. We just >> Yeah, she has some sort of cognitive disannounce. She's like at the end definitely like stop bobing. She's like on the knees. Stop Bob here song. So she she put the crap on Zilanski all the interview not on Zilinski really.
Zalinski is not the big deal here. It's not the big uh target of this interview.
The big thing was to propel the narrative that uh Ukraine is also a dictatorship and um so justification of the Russian aggression. So there is no he said it from the very beginning no black and white. is just you know those stupid people fight against stupid people sloughs against uh against Slavs some something like that she said at the end and she begged Putin for stop hunting people like what you just say that it's all about Zalanski h and she like she begged him she begged Putin it's interesting it's interesting I think it was paid maybe even. But if she is like just a useful idiot and it was an attempt to sell her new book and for those people who bust the interview, you need to to provide facts because there is actually like uh because you're busting should be also like could be cross-cheed by reality. So we there's lots of the stuff to bust but some parts she she said correctly and that is how propaganda works. Some correct parts truthful parts and they put some extra lies on top and the outcome. Yeah. So Ukraine is guilty.
I heard that um Tulsi Gabbert started the investigation about biolabs in Ukraine. Well not just in Ukraine but also abroad. Let's say biolops.
Mhm.
I also uh cut the part of yesterday's stream and posted it on um Twitter. Sir, uh, there are Americans blogging about how great Russia is.
Oh, nice.
I wish they will go to Russia forever.
Genetically engineered mosquitoes. Yeah.
Sound like she's just making loud position to get publicity. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. for her it would be uh great to release a new book about Zilinski. Like first she released the book praising Ukrainian president for the good war effort to stop Russians and then now she releases the book uh blaming Zilinski all for money for attention.
Can you imagine what MAGA would say if Democrats made the golden statue of Joe Biden? Yeah, that would be crazy. Have you seen the biggest boweapon possible?
Mirror line.
Oh my god. Remember how the idea was pushed uh at the start of the war that UA has Russian DNA targeting by web?
Yeah. Again, Tulsi Gabbert say that they will investigate this [ __ ] Yeah, this is pro-Russian. fully pro Russian beach.
There is the former pilot from Texas who has a channel showing Moscow and saying the praised about how amazing life in Russia is. Oh my god, I just noticed that Trump got off the plane in China. Uh the president see jumping was not even there. Uh jumping sorry jumping jumping. jumping.
See jumping?
Well, it's against the Chinese protocol.
They usually do not meet people out there in airports. I mean, the highest um the top official secretary or president, what what they call president After Israel announced that Netanyahu has visited the EUA during the Iran war, the UAE has officially denied that visit even happened.
In the midst of operation roaring lion, Prime Minister Bjamin Netanyahu secretively visited the United Arab Emirates. Uh there he met with U president Sheikh Muhammad bin Zed.
It's the official account of the prime minister of Israel.
Strange.
Maybe it's the fake account. I'm not sure. and UAA denies reports regarding visit by Israel prime minister or receiving any Israeli military delegation hing unexpected turn. Slovakia announces deliveries of millions of rounds of ammunition to Ukraine. Slovak president Peter Pleini said the country is already supplying ammunition to Ukraine on commercial basis. He noted that thanks to investments in the defense industry, Slovakia has become one of the largest ammunition producers in NATO. According to him, the volume of deliverers will only incre increase.
Nice.
Thank you, Slovakia.
It seems like Fitz Fitz has changed after collapse of Orban after end of urbanization.
Good news. Yeah.
Actually, um I saw the I forgot where I saw the news, but it seems like Ukraine also has China made weapons.
Russians just published the information that um Anton of 12 was spotted in Sariva and they say oh [ __ ] what is this? It's their fundra uh they say that it also supplies some of the weapons Serbian weapons to Ukraine.
FSB probably is not limited to verbal war. Uhhuh. According to the source, the talks about uh alleged plans for the Serbian company Zenipi prom to supply 50,150 uh 122 mm rockets for armed forces for Ukraine. The export scheme organized through the third countries to circumvent official ban including the Slovenian company isop K supplying components including 5,000 fuses produced by Bostonian company binas the final assembly of the rocket supplies kits. Okay. Okay. Okay.
Okay. So, yeah, you didn't see the text.
Anyways, so Russians found that maybe Serbia continue the support of Ukraine using their weapons. So, yeah, this is uh the man pad. Russians also picture Chinese men pads FN16 in arsenal of Ukraine anti-aircraft gunners from 160s motor rifle brigade China made air defense manpad it's interesting in Ukrainian army not in Russian 160 separate motorized brigade copy of S7 maybe.
But how?
Uh it seems like China not even uh delivers those to Russia.
Uh, does the Russians have the China men? I have never seen.
Maybe they have, maybe not.
The Creek said there is no legislation.
There is no separate legislation that closes the border and you cannot cancel the freedom of movement of people for them to leave the country. There is no separate um separate uh like there is no uh this martial law it's chip will tell you to like according to your preferences it's it's illegal as it was illegal some like those COVID restrictions in most of the countries it also was illegal unconstitutional.
Okay, Russia is sending their strategic bombers at least five flying from millennia and they still count. So maybe more for now initial number is five. So probably there will be the strike on Ukraine.
No, Robka. Robka is in Ukraine.
Ah, come on. I don't need the advertisement. But anyways, on this channel, I don't have YouTube Premium.
It's on other account. But anyways, is it in Deutsch?
Revolution in drone and creek. Uh then bus Very interesting English dialect they speak.
Is that u voice boost volume?
Uh there is no warant to switch in English.
Yeah. Yeah.
How how are they working very relaxing?
And we heard before that the aim of the Russian soldiers with your drones, with your eyes in the air and weapons in the air to stop the Russians from finding those weak spots.
I like I think maybe if I learn it well, I can make a YouTube channel on Deutsch.
Yeah, why not? Why not Deutsch channel?
In a way, it's better I think in a way because English like you can reach some of the niche. Yeah, there are less people who speak uh German compared to English.
It could be like you'll have less views probably, but you'll get closer to those German speaking people.
I mean, you'll go for it. Yeah, Lady Rosie. I mean, you'll get closer to the niche. Like, for example, if there is some of the highquality Ukrainian speaker content creator, usually, yeah, of course, the content should not be just blah blah blah about nothing.
There should be some quality content like yeah I don't think my content is high quality. Absolutely not. Uh but some of the volume if you deliver people usually watch and there is there's the good thing that people watch on their languages like Ukrainian language getting is getting popular among Ukrainians themselves and they watch uh Ukrainian content creators.
So before it was like uh maybe on Russian because more people were watching on Russian and Russians were watching on Russian and you may reach those ex Soviet countries uh as well they know Russian but now it's no it's better on Ukrainian because you'll have more loyal audience.
German sounds angry all the time. Well depends how you sound depends how you tell on it.
Yeah, what what mood you put into those words. If you shout in German, it it's of course even English would sound terrible.
But if you like pleasantly speak in German, it's it's great.
There was an exercise in Sweden, the Baltic Island, Scotland, where Ukrainian drone pilots proved the NATO defense is lacking. Yeah. Oh, like I just recorded the video and posted it on my channel.
It's called Dennis David. You may check it out and I already told about dedicated the whole whole video about this case. Make a channel about learning German and your experience about it. You would combine audiences.
H Swain interesting idea.
I'm just looking my mouse when my partner speaks German but with a Czech accent with which sounds okay. Oh, nice.
I recorded the video in German on the trash channel. It's 3 minutes long. I just I just used AI to create it. No, I mean not visual but to create the text and I just read it out from with multiple of the attempts and I read it. Okay, I remember. I read the sentence. I spoke it to the camera and that's it. So, that is how I record that video.
I don't know what uh I don't know that I've ever heard soft German.
I know we can we can soft German. Soft German.
Hm.
I know. I I watch some of the in my recommendations. A German girl VTuber Right.
Kind of the bad example I put here.
Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But she has a nice videos. Come on.
I'm a German girl and I'm reacting to this >> learn German like a real German >> real German expressions no textbook will teach >> no textbook will teach me >> and number one is going to be I understand >> I understand a real German when they say I understand they're going to say >> yeah that's true you have to say it like at >> and number two have number two. Okay, >> which is I don't understand.
>> Oh, wait. It's like >> a real German and they don't understand something.
>> It's right.
>> Let me tell you what they're going to say. They're going to say >> I knew it.
>> It's >> Say it with me.
>> It's deep in the throat.
>> You should yell it.
>> And at number three, >> oh yeah, when you're tired, >> I know that too. That's you want to go.
You're done with the conversation.
>> It's Zo.
>> This is a quick expression that you can use. You can be like, >> "It's >> I knew it."
>> When you say, >> "Yeah, >> people know."
>> Yeah. It's funny.
And I sometimes like, "Huh?"
Like, what is what the hell is happening? Make a channel about German.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, a guy with a beard talking to anime ml figure is auto. He's not she's reacting.
He's recording the video and she is reacting on his his video.
She put her image on the video. It's not like he's he's recording. It's the reaction video or just on Tik Tok format.
Ah guys.
Yeah, I think she's like one What's her name? I think she's one of the most popular VTubers.
Uh German speaking YouTubers.
Any L maybe any lot. Yeah. Any lot.
Well, on YouTube she she has 217 subscribers.
Is it her videos? Yeah, probably. Yeah.
Are those she streams? I think she she went to English.
Uh, come on. I cannot watch it on my on my this account with all of those advertisements. Well, I wonder why some of the YouTubers are quite popular.
Like you just watch this avatar. Well, still you have the voice, right?
It's interesting.
I also thought maybe to stream with some of the avatar to create it based on something, but no.
Oh, Kellen Robertson published the video. I want I really want waited for that one so we can watch all together.
Well, immediately told to leave.
Definitely didn't like that question.
So, we're currently pulling up in Venice. So are the billionaires and super yachts. And now are the Russian.
And the sheer amount of money, power, and influence right here in this city right now is staggering. But the Russians, they're not here because they love art. They're here to be part of that power. And right now, Russian missiles are falling on Ukrainian cities while their politicians turn up right here.
I'll have copyright, but it's all right. I'll cut it later on.
>> So, I've just arrived here in Venice, and I'm going to go straight to the bonali. And it isn't actually open yet to the public, but what I've got are exclusive tickets to the pre-opening show. It's for journalists and it's for our enthusiasts that want to get there before the general public. But this is critical because the Russians aren't actually going to be here after the 9th of May. The pavilion is only going to be stood for three days, but locals here say that those three days are the most important period. And that is because it's when the media is here, when the politicians are here, and when the wild parties happen. And all the news stands across the city have the same headlines, the scandals.
>> The international jury has resigned this Thursday in a row over the organization's decision to allow Russia to participate.
>> So, I'm going to head to the Russian pavilion straight away first because honestly, I'm a pretty recognizable face for the Russian state. They put me on the state TV all the time. They put me on Interpol. pretty likely that their staff will recognize me and throw me out. So, if I can go in really really quick and try to get an interview, a conversation, something with one of their politicians, with one of their representatives, then this would be amazing. Specifically because no one who has anything to do with that pavilion has given a single statement to the media. They've declined every single request. The Guardian, the New York Times, all of them. So, they don't want to speak and I want to know why. So, I'm going to head there right now. So, this is the inside of the pavilion. So the whole thing's over two stories and just on the right here is an open bar so everyone can come in and have champagne.
People seem tense.
And why he sucks? Tell me.
Russian elites praise how nice Russia is, but they live in Europe. Most of them have properties and kids uh in abroad. Not just in Europe, but also in the United States of America.
read Steve that video must be AI low.
What kind of German hacker uh uh German hacker uh that deleted a white super mist what dating st is a hacker h then make a German channel I will be there I will know German. Oh, thank you, Ben.
>> Conversations stop when we get close.
>> I spot a man in the corner wearing a Russian flag pin, surrounded by men in suits with earpieces.
The kind of security you don't normally see at an art exhibition.
My friend leans over and quietly says, >> "Oh, check."
Suddenly, this doesn't feel like an art exhibition anymore. It feels political, carefully managed, and controlled. His security team block us from getting anywhere near him. No questions, no interview, no conversation.
>> That's it.
>> That's it for today.
>> Just a wall of Russians closing rank around him.
So, we wait because moments like this are all about timing.
>> Just have a really quick question.
Sorry, quick question.
>> Your country killed 30 civilians in Ukraine in the last 24 hours. Why are you using art to whitewash your crimes?
>> Well, immediately told to leave.
Definitely didn't like that question.
>> Within hours, the confrontation goes viral because for the first time, someone had directly confronted a senior Russian state representative inside the pavilion. The bonali likes to present itself as above politics, but if it's supposedly apolitical, then why is the Russian ambassador to Italy standing inside the pavilion surrounded by security guards?
Uh the the Italy, come on. Don't allow this l get him.
If good to see you soon then swingering.
Thank you.
It should be legal. Those busters should be deported. The Russians even on their channel say that the attitude towards them is getting better in Europe even by European politicians.
>> Why is a senior Kremlin representative here at all?
>> I'm sorry to stop. Even they receive the the last year they received even more visas to visit Europe compared to the previous years.
Le Paramonov is not an artist. He's a Russian state official who has publicly pushed Kremlin narratives about the war, attacking European support for Ukraine as Russophobia. And the moment you see him inside the pavilion, the whole thing suddenly feels very different. Not like an art exhibition, but diplomacy, soft power. Okay, so I just got back to my hotel and honestly, today is turning out to be one of the strangest days I have ever been reporting on. And that's because after I got kicked out of the pavilion, I decided to go back one more time. And this time with this trophy here. It's an bombed hospital. I had this 3D printed in Hark last week. And I did that because I wanted to represent the only award that the Russians deserve at the bali. And that's the award for violating international humanitarian law. And I left this trophy outside the pavilion for a couple of seconds. And then something very strange happened.
And that's this guy decided to pick it up, run inside, and pretend that none of it happened. I ran right up to him with my phone and I asked him what on earth he was doing. And he said he didn't speak English despite saying that in perfect English. He said he didn't know what I was talking about.
>> Why did you take it?
>> So then I went to go and get my friend to go and confront him as well and try and see if he could help file a police report, do something to get it back. And I had a really weird feeling about this guy. I couldn't quite put my finger on it. So, I came back to my hotel here and I did a reverse image search of his face and I found some very nefarious articles of him being in Moscow for the last 30 years, him running visa management services, him with dozens of dissolved limited companies in the United Kingdom, in Sicily, in Moscow, and some articles that seem to link him to helping people get visas. And the entire delegation at the pavilion are filled with people who are sanctioned by the European Union.
And I've been wondering for a while how on earth they got here to Venice. And it looks like this guy might actually be at the heart of it despite denying having anything to do with the pavilion itself.
To me on camera, the whole thing seems extremely strange. So what I did was I quickly published this report and in the last few hours the Italian press has actually picked up this story. The biggest newspaper in the whole of Italy, it's about 200 years old, have started investigating him and looking into him and his shady background. And none of this was visible about him before my video went viral. So, this report has actually escalated it into media and now the investigative reporters here in Italy are picking up the trail. So, this is a wild moment to be stepping into here. Anyway, it's going to be sunset in the next few minutes here. I'm going to take another walk through Venice and see what other crazy nefarious stuff this city has to offer right now.
Oh, these are the Russians uh from the Russian event that are behind me. And I feel like I'm being followed by these people because that same woman that's posting for harmless selfies right now was on the same door of the Russian pavilion just 30 minutes ago and I've just walked to the other side of the uh of the event space and they're right here. So and activists here have told me that they followed them as well. So the whole thing is really really strange.
A friend who helped retrieve the trophy from the Russian pavilion said he's been followed too.
>> This is so weird. You know that woman in the leather jacket who's been following you?
>> Which one?
>> She was just standing there the whole time when I was standing here the whole time. And then when they when I saw them, they started taking selfies. Have you felt followed or harassed by any of the people to do with this?
>> Oh, of course. Recognized them by face uh from earlier yesterday, from earlier today, from this afternoon.
As the atmosphere around the pavilion became more tense, I wanted to know whether all this was in my head or whether other people started to notice it, too. So, I arranged to meet an artist and longtime vianale figure who spent years moving through this world.
Kate Margolus has been part of the Venice art scene for years. She knows the politics behind the pavilions and has spoken out publicly against Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the normalization of Kremlin influence in cultural spaces. And she told me something unsettling, that I wasn't the first person to feel watched around the Russian pavilion, that artists like her had experienced intimidation before.
What kind of Russians are here in Venice right now? You know, it's I imagine it's not just artists, right? over the last 20 put in years it's obvious this kind of arty glossy very rich the palazzo just around the corner below son he is the oligarch Putin's friend producer of gas the owner is novate he is directly involved in the war production and also we strongly believe a lot of our friends believe that so he's the sponsor of the Russian pavilion >> and I we think this institution was the headquarters partially of the whole operation of planning it and I saw a lot of weird people around it. It looks very neutral, very contemporary. They have this program that appeared in January and I already spotted is a strange thing very Russian no rules for us and there was this dance around the rule and now with the opening of the Russian pavilion we see exactly what is behind it's dancing around the sanction.
>> One sec. The photographer who was there was taking photos of us. Did you see him from Korea?
>> He was just taking photos, I guess. I don't know. Just someone.
>> Yeah, it's that guy there.
>> Yeah, strange. But he took photos on his camera. I just didn't know how long he was there for. It's quite strange.
>> Lot lot of following, a lot of secret filming.
>> This happens here a lot. And and who is doing that? How would you describe that situation?
>> They have to report to someone. Uh also, I had a very talking FSB. I had a guy comes out and said, "Are you caught in Mongolia?" And I said, "Yes." In Russian and said, "Oh, it's so nice to meet you in person. You're such a memorable and bright personality. I really wanted to pay my respect personally and I you correspondent of Brian No, the Buddha in Rome. We, you know, think you were full of you very closely and he won't back.
Of course, it's kind of typical KGB operations and leaves you very uneasy, of course. And it's just totally polite.
I couldn't even complain to police or anywhere. It's not even a direct threat.
Uh, so that's what they do. It's so beautiful to what Venice is.
>> Venice or Venice.
>> Okay. So, it's our first night here at Venice Bianali, and we've just received a dossier, and it's honestly damning.
Every single person who's performing at the Russian pavilion is either an artist or a musician. But what this dossier seems to show is that every single performer in some way is somehow connected to the Kremlin, to state power, to statehood, or they performed in places like occupied Crimea or directly repeated Kremlin lines over the last few years. And this starts to paint a picture, and I'll go through the names in a couple of minutes here. look at each example and each individual um source here, but this has come from a very reputable source as well, the Malfar Institute, which specialize in this exact type of investigation into Russian interference networks around the world. And this this looks damning, especially on night one, knowing that the pavilion is just open today and knowing that these people are here and half of these names are sanctioned by the EU right now, which raises further questions about why they're even here, how they're even here. But for now, we should go through and have a look at who some of these people are. I've got Anastasia Carnea. She's an art curator on the surface, the daughter of a former FSB general connected to one of Russia's biggest weapons manufacturers. And then we've got Roman Malavkin. He's a musician linked, according to the dossier, to institutions that performed for future FSB officers and projects surrounding Russian troops fighting in Ukraine. Right now, we've got Mali Spasi, a sound engineer on the surface, directly tied to Russian statemies.
These are military linked cultural programs. and the rest of them basically all performed at events in the last two years supporting what Russia calls their special military operation. And all this stops feeling like a simple art festival and starts feeling like something much darker. The Russians have used this event, used this city as a sort of Trojan horse to sneak in their state operatives, to sneak in their ideas through art. And one of the main features of this entire festival, one of the reasons and justifications for Russia being back this year is because art should have nothing to do with politics. And that sounds great on paper, but that doesn't seem to be Russia's intention. They seem to be using art to smuggle in their politics.
Mhm.
Today, the bonali opens to the public.
Big crowds, big press, big speeches about culture and dialogue. But there's just one question no one seems to be willing to answer. Who actually allowed the Russians back in? And one name keeps appearing over and over again. Peter Angelo Bhafuko, the president of the Bianali, a right-wing figure who defended Russia's return and described the Bianali as a place that shouldn't judge countries politically. Then leaked emails emerged. They show him coordinating directly with Russian pavilion organizers over visas, logistics, maps, and how to avoid breaching EU sanctions. According to multiple reports, he was right at the center of it. So naturally, I wanted to ask him about it. But there was just one problem.
Nobody could find him. I contacted his office, his press team, his assistants, nothing. No interview, no statement, no comment, which is slightly awkward when you're the president of the Venice finale on opening day. So, I decided to go looking for him myself.
>> Oh, hello. Do you know this person?
>> This is the manager of the of the of the Bare.
>> Is he still president now? Yes, >> cuz he's not he's not been here. No, I haven't seen him in the last few days.
>> No, no, no, no.
>> Okay. Thank you so much.
>> You're welcome. Okay.
>> Okay.
>> Do you know who this is?
>> This is the president of the of the >> Do you know where he is?
>> Where is now?
>> Yeah. Have you seen him?
>> I don't know where he is.
>> Do you think that's a bit strange? Cuz he's the president of the exhibition, but I haven't seen him anywhere. He's not around. It's quite weird. Is that normal every year?
>> I don't know. Okay, so we've established that the president of this place doesn't want to be around the public. Doesn't want to be around all these pesky artists. So maybe he's hiding in one of these pavilions. Let's go and check it out.
>> Do you know um where this person is?
>> Yeah.
>> Then I don't know now exactly where is Nala. Yes.
>> Oh, okay. Okay.
Okay. So, the president of the bianali seems to be the only person that's less visible than the Russian oligarchs right now.
Dennis, did you already left Ukraine before border closing law came to practice? Am I correct? There is no bording law. There is no bording closing law in Ukraine. It does not exist.
>> Honestly, it's a bit weird. You'd think after inviting the Russians back during the war that you might stick around to answer a question or two. This guy's acting like a cold war fugitive right now at his own festival.
>> Oh, hey. I just have a quick question.
Do you know who this is?
>> Ah, he's the president of Bale. Yes.
>> Do you know where he is?
>> Oh, is I don't know.
>> Okay. Okay.
>> Well, thank you anyway. All right.
>> Welcome.
>> I'm following you since at the beginning of the war. Yeah. Nice to see you.
>> Nice to meet you. I really admire you.
I'm a journalist, too.
>> Can I ask you a question?
>> Yeah, of course.
>> I'm I am I'm going to be filming if that's okay.
>> Yeah. Okay.
>> Okay. Do you know who this is?
>> Is the president of >> Check out some of the Kellen's early videos. So what?
I know he has passed, but so what?
Did he eat some people? I don't know.
Did he did some of the crime? Did he do some of the crime? He is a great supporter of Ukraine. He helps Ukraine.
He even risks his life. So, um, yeah, I like this guy. He's my fellow.
He's my mate. He's awesome.
>> So, I have spent all day looking for him. I've asked the staff. I've asked everyone and he's nowhere to be found.
>> Me neither. Invited to my program and he said no interviews.
>> Yeah, same with me.
>> Good luck. He can hide very well if he wants.
>> Oh my god. Well, it seems like it. Of course, the only person that knows who he is is another journalist that didn't get an interview.
So, so Peter Angelo was nowhere to be found, but someone else did show up.
Matteo Salvini, Italy's deputy prime minister and one of the country's most outspoken right-wing politicians.
Salvini arrived at the bianali and the question is motives. I don't like him. No worries. Uh, I don't [ __ ] care, Andy. You may like him. You may don't like him. I like him personally.
He is my I may call him my mate. I don't have really friends in my life except my wife.
Uh but uh Kellen is doing a great job and uh yeah, he is he's my mate. He is a great guy. He's he's really helping Ukraine a lot on international stage. I would say he's doing even better job than me in on some of the media platforms on X as well. Well, he's very popular. So, he is awesome.
>> Straight to the Russian pavilion. He praised the decision to let Russian motives. Then you go to Harrison and you are tagged by the Russian drones. Then you go to I think he went to Zaparisia or also very close. He showed me some of the pictures uh of Zaparisia nuclear power plant just across the river.
What motives? I don't [ __ ] care if the guy sacrifices his security for what he does and publishes and he is awesome. He is really awesome.
Turn and argued that art and culture should be immune from boycots. He spent 25 minutes inside the pavilion watching performances and being welcomed by the Russian organizers themselves. And honestly, this was probably the moment that Russia wanted most because this was never really about how many people visited the pavilion. The public wasn't even allowed inside after the press days. What mattered was this image, this footage, and this symbolism. A senior European politician walking into the Russian pavilion while the cameras rolled. Russia didn't need crowds. It needed legitimacy. And that's exactly what this entire operation feels designed to achieve. By the time the bonali's door shut for the evening, the Russians had already got everything they came for. The interviews, the footage, the headlines, proof that they were back inside one of Europe's most prestigious cultural institutions. And honestly, that might be the biggest victory of all because the bonali is often called the Olympics of the art world. And little by little, Russia has been finding its way back into spaces like this, into festivals, opera houses, sporting events, cultural institutions, not through tanks, through invitations.
Before leaving Venice, I wanted to speak to someone who understood exactly what that meant.
>> Russian culture, Russian art is part of propaganda the same way as a sport. Uh we saw the same approach in the sport in Olympics. Uh because many many famous people from Russia was there like with Russian flags with some Soviet Union symbols. Uh and that's that's how it works in Russia. So suddenly uh you should also keep in mind that it will be used in Russian propaganda. It will increase u awareness about Russian coming back to the arenas and even civil population of Russia who is now in Russia like they will be see it as a sign that they're doing something good in the world yeah because they're part of world society again when people ask me do you still have war in Ukraine and I think it's also because of these events and also because Russians are coming back because people start to forget again about war art or Russian Russian culture Russian uh uh filmmakers and Russian sports it's the same part of the same propaganda and it served as a tool for propaganda. So of course to see them here like in Bianalia in all the festivals in the sport arenas it's very shameful and people start to normalize their actions and I think it's the biggest problem here because people start start to forget about what's happening in Ukraine.
>> How do you feel seeing it on a personal level? Yeah, but I mean I'm very thankful for your work because I think it's very important to show it because when nobody is doing this work and nobody approaching Russian embassies and ambassadors uh then it's kind of it's going like it's going and you see more and more Russians everywhere and it's important to highlight this moments that yeah what they're doing here and uh we definitely you can see some FSB faces here too I believe >> 8 weeks before arriving in Venice this.
I sat down with the president of Ukraine and during our interview he warned that Russia uses culture as a weapon. Not just missiles, not just propaganda, culture platforms designed to slowly make Russia look normal again to the out. Okay, the message is understandable. I think I watch already too much.
Um, okay. It's going to be soon midnight, guys. Just go through the comments and I need to film one more video today.
Beautiful busters. Hey in the kettle. Uh peep in the kettle. Sorry. Well, like thank you for the stick. Sticks.
Uh we don't [ __ ] care. You may like we understood that you don't like Colen.
You don't you may not uh write it many of the times.
Dennis Zalinski and turn it off. Come on.
Thank you for sharing your time with Yeah, that's Thank you so much for for being on the stream. But yeah, I'm just going going to go to the co uh they keep asking. Okay.
You say like you say they understood. So yeah, it's understandable.
I I know that many people hate hate me and also like partially it's kind of hard actually to be liked by anyone.
It's impossible and you know it's slippery slope here in our content creation. Sometimes you may say something and you'll you're you'll get hated for something. Well, at this stage I don't really care.
That was chill stream. Yeah, too much chill. I think I I'm low on energy on my videos. I have higher energy than on streams, but on streams sometimes it's good.
Yeah. Speak your truth, D. Yeah, I just have something here and I just spell it out. That's it.
No one here hates it. I don't know. We have sometimes haters. It's okay.
I'm quite okay. I was like there were the moments that I was like a little bit touched by hate comments but yeah sometimes I think I commented on Jake's bro stream or enforcer's stream and people also like start to to say that they hate me like some of people but um it's okay stream tomorrow. Oh yeah, I hope to stream like every day.
Thank you. Well, oh, how you trolling me?
Huh?
I don't know.
Uh, Oie, what you deleted?
enforcer stream is toxic. Why? No, no, no. I mean then I comment there people support me and just maybe one two persons they say something on me like oh they don't like me for whatever reason and uh people in the chat they start to attack those persons. So it's not like they hate me then they comment. No no no it's like very very kind of the cozy community there.
cozy community there. So we have mushial audience I think partially.
Oh nice Mario.
Marina.
Oh okay. Was haters keep hating. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
And there are some of the content creators who take it very seriously.
I don't I even have com uh haters who reach me by emails reach me by emails even trying to what?
Trying to scam me with some of the [ __ ] Uh like pretending being a Ukrainian Esbu pretending to be Ukrainian um police who is searching me Ukrainian military who is searching me.
But this is this is funny to read because they're not competent in legislation and those messages they're very easy to and some of the Swiss officials. Mhm. Of course. Of course.
That is the dedication. Yeah. And also there are hack attacks on emails as well. You know the spam attacks. Then you receive like thousands of emails.
It's kind of hard to get rid of that [ __ ] The last time I watched Enforcer stream, it was a toxic back and forth with another content creator. Really?
No, they they are very friendly. For me personally, they're very friendly and I'm kind of friendly for them and their community.
like I I don't feel tox toxicity on maybe those streams were like that. So I don't know it's called do attack then you get thousands of emails. Yeah. So on my email it's like this is the email that I don't usually use uh for anything just you know for PayPal only and it is out there on my channel just for a single purpose you know if someone wants to support but they riot me there they like spam me there okay you must fly so F16 yeah like this one like this one I found the enforcer was quite based. Uh the last stream I have seen I just saw one of their streams recently. Oh yeah.
I remember I was uh I was driving to Italy and I switch on their stream. It was late night for me here but or early morning. every morning and for America it was night. So yeah, it wasn't entertaining. It was entertaining and they I don't know how but they talk talk talk talk talk. So they have this talent in talking a lot given lots of the information straight away.
Uh what's that? Kazino watch alarm. Casio. Yeah, Casio.
Those watches midnight. They always ring in a midnight. Well, now it's 0001.
I put them on midnight. Just like Oh [ __ ] it's night. Okay, I need to to do something.
How I spend my day. Oh [ __ ] one more day. Useless stuff. Haven't achieved anything. I should work at night all night.
Gives you anxiety.
The very job daily detailed updates on Ukraine and Ukraine. Yeah. Yeah. Try mainly I used two watches Casio and uh Graana. Graana looks like Rolex but very close to Rolex but it's Graana.
Swiss made. Yeah. a little bit dirty.
This is the most expensive I have. Uh 1,00 1 1,100 I think. Very expensive. But for some of the events I wear them and this is Casio's daily daily abuse watches.
Yeah.
And yeah, I have wearing Casio wrist watches for decades. The alarm is typical. Yeah.
And I have cheap Timex. Oh.
Oh, totally baked.
I like Casio, you know, because it gives you all of the information. It also is capable to find the phone. So, uh, if I press this button, it should be paired right now with the phone.
Come on. Find maybe this button.
Come on. Find fine. Find them.
So it's like sends the signal signal to my phone and phone starts to to ring feature and also gives like the date time right away you see everything and you don't need to reset anything like on usual mechanical watches. I like it.
I never wish that had been late everywhere my whole life. Well, people joke that I will late for my own funeral.
Okay.
I use Garmin watch but Casio was and my alltime favorite watches got to hand to the Japanese. Mhm.
Just go to text as you press that. Yeah.
So you could link your watch so uh someone else phone to troll them with miss. No, you need to download um you need to download uh application to connect the watches.
Watches. watches.
Video is like performing okayish today, but I need to film the new one.
I actually have some of the news, but not too much. Not too much.
I wonder uh maybe today Jake Bro will not post his video. Yeah.
Yeah. Totally not maybe hackable.
Handy though phones are easy to lose. I leave mine the glow box of a car most of the time. Yeah.
Seiko calculator watch.
My fave is a Seikka calculator watch.
Not really. So it's Is it your favorite or no? Sea calculator is the iconic.
Also, after seeing what the Israelis did with the beepers, I tend not to keep my electronics close to me. Come on, they will not launch the friendly fire of some toaster today. The operator is also broadcasting operator stars.
I don't really see.
I don't really see her.
And the name of the video of Colin Robertson. They're here. Russians are everywhere again.
It's bad. It's bad actually. Yeah. That they have uh those visas. Uh, Europe doesn't understand that there could be some of the spies, but there are some nice Russians.
Like, not all of the Russians are bad. I understand. They need to go through some of the checks to get the visa, I guess. So, through through extra checks.
Clickbait.
Come on. I also click baited today's video. like NATO like Ukraine like what was my video?
Uh NATO defeated in Gautland big Ukraine captured Gautland Island.
This is also clickbait. Come on. Not too much like not crazy or crazy. Well, maybe crazy.
With clickbait, you have like more of the views, more of the attention, retention, etc. So, yeah.
But those are not uh the craziest clickbaits I saw.
Oh, this is [ __ ] There is the Ukrainian journalist and it seems like he's now earning from YouTube so he tries to attract more audience and I don't know what happened to him.
Uh but his channel is really unhinged.
So his his names of the channel uh just right now Putin is ending the war. A secret decree has announced um Simmanana attacked Putin harshly. Simmanan attacked Putin.
Nothing of that is truth. In the thumbnail also their letters at this moment. Ukrainian forces start the um seizure of SAStopel. Russians are running front line collapsed.
This is a real [ __ ] clickbait.
Uh, D, do you watch Destiny sometimes?
No. Uh, is it interesting?
But the enforcer does those thumbnails all all the time.
What?
Uh he's live now.
>> The whole weight of our entire military-industrial complex with us and Israel down onto them and then had to walk away with Iran not only surviving but coming out on top. That's [ __ ] crazy. I don't know any example in all of world history. Even like [ __ ] Vietnam and [ __ ] was not this crazy one.
That's just insane. I don't know. I don't know. That's just wild to me. But I I I just I don't know. Like I legitimately don't know through the region if there are other >> 7,755 people watching him. I thought actually he has more views. Maybe he has Twitch.
Oh yeah, he's on Twitch I think.
Uh he's banned on Twitch I think also.
So he's on YouTube and what is this the he on kick? He's he has the kick channel and I guess on YouTube. Yeah. And some of I don't know something else.
This was the guy that was special friends with Nick Fuentes.
I think now they are split with their ideology. I guess so.
No. Who is he? Um he's a streamer. He is like liberal guy. Demo demo want to trust that uh titrate as far as I know could throw him.
He sometimes host to Ukrainian honor.
Oh, I think he's kind of pro Ukrainian. Uh also Copy gave the interview. Oh, there was the podcast.
I saw it.
Russia filling vacuums. It's concerning >> if China were being able to project these things internationally, I think is really important. And it's also important because uh >> one year ago and yeah, they filmed this podcast.
Yeah, the enforcessor al always gave me Alex Jones vibes. So, never like the channel.
Oh, I see. I see. Alex Jones has a special voice like this broken engine of or something.
I don't know how people listen to it, you know, for a long time or for any time.
It's like all like what it's you need to like force yourself to listen that [ __ ] like and force it. Then I run out of my dance videos and I'm going through the withdrawals.
I think Alex Jones has some of the issues, right? I think his channel bankrupting YouTube has an advice uh advice for YouTubers published just 1 hour ago. The first three seconds to hook the viewer are everything. So make them count. It's like, have I attracted your attention? Let's start the video. Something like that. I don't know.
Oh [ __ ] YouTube is funny. Well, actually, they are correct. Like few maybe five seconds. M not three. Like one, two, three, maybe five.
Why does Enforcer have 10 minutes of boring intro? Yeah, I also do not understand it. But you need I think most of the top streamers they have one or other intro in any case. So they have their intro One hour ago something breaking breaking always breaking what Rubia says here.
Fox News >> you view China as our top geopolitical foe.
>> Yeah. It's both our top political challenge geopolitically and it's also the most important relationship for us to manage. I mean, it's a big powerful country. It's going to continue to grow, but we're going to have interests of ours that are going to be in conflict with interests of theirs and to avoid wars and maintain peace and stability in the world. We're going to have to manage those. There are clearly areas where they're so important for the United States that uh you we're going to have to raise those issues and we'll continue to do so. The president's going to continue to do so. There might be some areas of cooperation too and we want to make sure we don't walk away from those.
>> You view >> uh probably he will be the candidate from the GOP for next elections. I think I think Rubio will do it because Vance is like he's too stupid. He will lose.
Rubio I think has the chances at least some of them tiny little but still I think he is the only proper candidate from GOP for the next elections well I'm not sure I I think the Republican president will not be elected the next term at least 10 minutes waiting time before starting stream is good because YouTube is ridiculously slow to notify users that Someone has gone live. Yeah, Dream Maker. Uh, usually like top streamers, they have this waiting lobies uh for around 10 minutes. Yeah, around 10 minutes pin still never met face to face. Have they? I'm not sure.
Just press skip. But it's the live life live on air.
So I usually do not watch until some point. Yeah.
He is the one of the better Trump's cabinet.
He is uh the most competent in Trump's cab cabinet.
I'm not sure that um Harris will even go for elections.
Trying to find some more news for today, but there are not It's good that my Twitter is boosting now with one of the videos went for more than 15,000 views. It's great.
So, I have like 300 subscribers more on X account.
So, it's it's awesome.
I didn't know that some of the long format videos could be watchable on X Twitter.
It's better Twitter than X.
All right, guys. I'm going to go. Thank you so much for being with me on the stream and see you around. Maybe next time I'm going to stream something else.
I'm not sure. Maybe I don't have the mood today for the streaming. I like it was it took three and a half hours, but I wasn't that energized.
See you guys. Chowo chiao.
