Proxy wars are conflicts where major powers use smaller nations as intermediaries to achieve strategic objectives without direct confrontation, and understanding these dynamics requires examining the broader geopolitical context rather than focusing solely on surface-level conflicts.

IT'S OFFICIALLY OVER: Russia Just HUMILIATED the US & NATO - Ukraine Proxy War LOSTAdded:
Harros. No, we're not going to herro today.
Yeah, it took a bunch of uh took a bunch of tries to get it going. It's been doing that lately. Not sure why.
Anyway, live from Crest, Russia, comrade, Captain Rob.
Oh, well, I think we're done with cold weather for a while.
Yeah, thankfully.
meat steak. William, why the hell did they do that? [ __ ] BMW put the [ __ ] ridiculous [ __ ] muffler on it.
I mean, it sounds like a [ __ ] 1945 flathead Ford tractor, you know? I think it sounds good.
Yeah. I mean, really, it sounds like Yeah, it sounds like a [ __ ] lawn mower.
>> It's a It was a late model BMW.
>> Ridiculous, man.
with me guys.
>> Yeah. Well, they're not kids. I mean, you'd have to you'd have to have some money to buy a car like that, you know?
So, I mean, it's probably here, you know, it's at least a $100,000 car.
Sulico Oh, yeah. this street.
It's another building that has the same kind of uh tiles on it that that one on uh crass has where the magnet is.
Those green tiles, huh? This one's kind of cool, too.
Not sure what it is.
Yeah. Go. Um, yeah. I mean, we're at what on, like 75 days on that uh 3-day excursion in Iran, right? Funny, huh?
We'll see how long that goes. You see the difference is is the USA has lost that war. That's the difference. And Russia won this one. See? Yeah. But you know something else? Uh you know something else? 23 years since uh mission accomplished in Iraq. And guess what? Your guys are still getting shot out there. Did you know that? Yeah. 23 years.
20 years in Afghanistan and you lost. 20 years in Vietnam and you lost. The difference is is we won. And you know something else about it? You know something else about it? [laughter] Yeah. We beat you because it was never a war between Russia and Ukraine. It was always a proxy war between the United States and Russia. So guess what? You lost that war as well.
Yeah. Sucks, huh? Why is it that the greatest military power in the world keeps losing wars? You know why? Because you're a [ __ ] paper tiger.
By the way, nobody in Russia said anything about a 10-day operation.
Nobody did.
Nobody did. That came from Western propaganda, you [ __ ] [ __ ] [laughter] God, these guys are so stupid.
Uh, five years in grocery again. Again, 20 years in Vietnam, 20 years in Afghanistan, 23 years in Iraq, 75 days in uh Iran, and Iran is kicking your ass.
Really? I mean, you're if you're an American and you're saying [ __ ] like that, really, you you've you've got to be incredibly myopic.
The difference is is we won. And this war was not a war against Ukraine. It was a war against the United States. And we kicked your ass. Everybody kicks your ass, America, cuz you guys are a bunch of [ __ ] You're a big paper tiger.
It's true. Nothing but a paper tiger.
These guys are so stupid, man.
I don't go to this park very often. It's pretty close to my house, so it's kind of a cool little park.
I don't know who this is.
>> [laughter] >> Oh.
This is position.
you.
Yes.
uh I'm still I'm waiting on a couple connectors. I needed to order a couple of uh cable connectors for the solar panel. Should be here tomorrow.
No, this is uh that was a different park where the the outdoor gym is down at uh at uh 30 years of victory park.
How did Russia win?
Okay. Well, let me tell you how Russian won. Russia won.
All of Lugansk, all of Donetsk, all of Keran, all of Zaparosia, and all of Crimea now are part of the Russian Federation.
What do you think about that?
Now, let me ask you a question.
Weren't you guys saying back in uh the summer of 23 that the great counter offensive was going to have Ukrainian soldiers swimming in the Black Sea off Crimea by the end of 23? Yeah.
What happened there? Instead, they ended up losing two additional oblasts. Right.
Funny how that worked out.
Zilinski is talking about negotiating now. He's kind of being forced into it.
And the only negotiation that's going to be acceptable is basically everything that Russia wanted to begin with, which means Ukraine will never be part of NATO. That was one of the original deals.
They're going to have to give up those two additional oblasts, Kiran and Zaparosia.
in addition to Lugansk and uh Donetsk and Crimea.
No NATO agree that those uh oblasts are now forever part of Russia.
I'd call that a win. I would call that a win, guys.
You see, what you guys don't know, what you guys are too stupid to know because you're brainwashed and uh all you know is is the propaganda they feed you on your mainstream media.
You know, Russia never wanted to take one square inch of Ukrainian land, not even Crimea.
Never.
In fact, guys, something else you don't know is that there was a deal on the table in uh in March, April of 22 that would have ended the conflict. And you know what?
If the Ukrainians had signed that deal, they would still have those four Oblasts would still be part of Ukraine.
All Russia wanted was for them at that point was them for them to allow Donetsk and Lugans which were mostly Russian speaking to have a degree of autonomy and for the Ukrainians to stop persecuting them.
That's all they wanted. Plus, of course, Crimea.
>> Now, now all four of those little blaster Crimea are part of Russia and it's not negotiable.
But actually that wasn't the Ukrainians fault. It was the Americans fault because the Americans told them to continue fighting. The Americans promised the Ukrainians that don't worry, we'll give you all the weapons, all the money that you need to fight the Russians until you get every square inch of your land back. That's what they said. But guess what they're doing? Just the opposite. They're backing out now, aren't they? The Americans. They're abandoning the Ukrainians, aren't they?
Yeah.
You know why they're doing that? Because they can't afford to keep supplying and they don't have enough weapons anymore.
The Americans wasted half of their missiles in the war on Iran and they don't have the production capacity to to replace them.
So, they got to do something. They had to get on project Ukraine.
[laughter] You guys are just idiots, man. I'm telling you, idiots.
And I don't care what [ __ ] anybody tells you. They're going to try to tell you, here's how they're going to spin it. I'll tell you how they're going to spin it.
They're going to say that Russia, that's how you're going to spin it, and pretend that it was a victory. And only idiots like you. Only stupid [ __ ] Americans would believe that [ __ ] Just like Trump. How many times has he said that uh they won in Iran? How many times have has he said that already?
[laughter] Oh god. What [ __ ] fools, man? What [ __ ] fools? You guys drink the Kool-Aid every [ __ ] time.
Anyway, we just had our victory day holidays.
Today is still kind of a holiday. Most people are off today.
And uh so it's been like 4 days of partying.
And uh what victory day is in Russia cuz yeah none of you Americans know anything about this.
Uh what victory day is is when Russia and most of the former Soviet republics celebrate the anniversary of the Soviet Red Army defeating the German Nazis in the Great Patriotic War.
And so it's a really huge deal for Russia and the Soviet and the former Soviet republics because the Soviet Union contributed to the most the most to defeating the Nazis. The Soviet Union was responsible for 80% of all German casualties and al also themselves suff suffered about 80% of casualties in the European theater.
The Americans helped. The Americans helped, but it was the Soviet Union that did most of the fighting.
I just said the Americans helped the Soviets. What did I just say? I said the Americans helped, but the Soviets did most of the fighting. What did I just say? Were you even listening? You're calling me a fool? You weren't even [ __ ] listening. The Americans helped, you fool.
I said that. I said the Americans helped.
Something you probably don't know is that the land lease act which was how the Americans helped. They sent they were responsible for roughly 10% of the material ill needs of the Soviet Union during the war.
Uh Russia paid it all back guys. By 2006 Russia had paid completely paid off land lease paid back the Americans every [ __ ] ruple man.
Yeah, I know. The Americans helped.
>> Of course they did.
>> But the way most American history books read is the contribution of the Soviet Union is just like a footnote.
Just like a footnote. It's like, oh, the Russians help. And that's about all. The reality is the Russians did the bulk of the fighting. Yeah.
All the big b all the biggest battles of World War II were fought on Soviet soil.
All of them.
Russia never wanted to take one square inch of Ukrainian land. Not even one square inch.
They tried to stop this war in uh March, April of 22. They would have stopped The Ukrainians were actually ready to side, but the Americans intervened.
What you're too dumb to know is that this was never a war between Russia and Ukraine. Never. This was always a war between the United States and Russia.
They just use the Ukrainians as proxies because the Americans are cowards.
They're cowards.
They let the Ukrainians do the fighting and dying for their war, for their own American war against Russia.
Every time a Ukrainian drone or missile lands anywhere inside Russia, it's with the help of the Americans, with American guidance, American intelligence, American satellite information.
Did you know that?
Did you know that there have been American military advisers and trainers in Ukraine since at least 2015? Did you know that they had bases there, training bases?
>> You're you're too stupid to even consider this, but I'm going to just run this by you for a second. And I just want you to think, try to think objectively, which is impossible for an American. It's impossible. But I'm going to still maybe maybe just maybe you there's a couple of brain cells that are working there that might this might make a little bit of sense to you. And I want you to think about this for a second. Okay. Now, I know America's the greatest country on earth. I know that all they want to do is peace spread peace, freedom, and democracy around the world. I know that.
I know. And I know that America is blessed by God. Yeah, I know that.
But I want you to think about something.
You know, America values its security, right? America highly values it it security.
If a major foreign adversary like let's say China decided to make an alliance with Mexico, okay?
And they decided to start moving in troops, airplanes, missiles, tanks, everything else into Mexico and and started placing them along the Mexican Texas border.
How long do you think the United States would tolerate that? H well, you know, yeah, man. I mean, I mean, uh, Mexico, Mexico, it's a free country. It's a sovereign country, you know. Yeah. They should be able to have allies with anybody they want, right? Yeah. Yeah.
They're a free country. I mean, it's not America's business who they make allies with, right?
No, that's not what would happen. Trust me, guys. Trust me, guys. The United States would never allow that to happen.
Never.
So why do you think Russia would want the US doing the same thing to them, putting their their forces right on their [ __ ] doorstep, especially in a very vulnerable spot like Ukraine?
So the problem with people like you is it just you can't even remotely empathize with that.
Not even for a second. Because the problem is is that you're so [ __ ] brainwashed into believing that your country is so exceptional that obviously you can't make comparisons between Russia and the United States because America is exceptional. I mean, you can't possibly make comparisons between the two countries.
You know, America can can be concerned about its security and it could put 700 bases around the world encircling Russia and circling China and Russia should China should just accept that because America obviously are the good guys, right? Obviously, you know, the Americans wouldn't invade some country for no reason at all, right? They only the Americans only invade countries when they want to spread peace and democracy and steal the oil.
Uh yeah, I may as well be talking to that tree because that's about kind of effect I'm having on you guys. You guys are too [ __ ] dense.
Does America keep the citizens in? Does Russia keep the citizens in? No. Any Russia can leave anytime they want to.
See, that's uh Arth See, that right there is an example of brainwashing.
You know, somewhere you heard that and that might have been true back in the in the Soviet Union days, but that hasn't been true for like 35 years, man.
So it it just you guys believe like outdated propaganda. But let me tell you, countries that do keep their citizens in, you want to hear a country that does keep their citizens in Ukraine.
Ukraine. Young men cannot leave Ukraine.
They are banned from leaving Ukraine.
Did you know that?
Yeah. Not Russia. Lots of Russians left.
Lots especially lots of Russian young men left. West, you know, liberals.
Liberal young men left.
No, the country that does that is Ukraine, not Russia.
God, these guys, the the level of brainwashing is just ridiculous, man.
No, you can. Russians can leave anytime they want. They do it all the time.
>> God, you guys, someone said something about her and it actually temps me. I'm actually tempted, man.
Let me see. Yeah, I am tempted. Maybe on the way back.
Russia has an aging population. America doesn't have an aging population.
I mean, there would be Do you know there would be like no growth population growth in the US if it wasn't for immigration? Did you know that?
I mean, these guys, the stuff they come up with is incredible, man.
>> And I tell you, most of the people that are immigrating into your country are people you want there. Be honest. You don't want them there cuz they're mostly people, mostly poor, uneducated peasants from poor third world countries that don't share any of your values. Those are the kind of people that are moving to America. So yeah, your your population may be slightly younger, but that's only because you've been invaded by the third world and your culture has been destroyed.
Russia's trying to maintain its culture.
Yeah.
I mean, I I'll tell you right now, America today is is not the country it was. It's not the country I grew up in.
Not by a long shot. It's it's totally different country now.
Uh the parade. I missed it because uh are you talking about the one in Crashar? I missed it because I was in the wrong place. Yeah, it was like four blocks further up the street. I didn't realize it was on Glad I Ped.
But I'll tell you what, even the even the worst Russian parade ever is like way better than that pathetic parade that Trump put together. I don't know if you remember that. I mean, you that was the most pathetic thing I'd ever seen.
The that military parade Trump had in front of the White House. That was that was pathetic.
Embarrassing.
Uh, I told you the Americans parade was pathetic, Harry. Are you listening to me?
Heat.
Heat.
Heat. Heat.
Yeah, they did uh they did this year they uh it wasn't as big as last year's.
There was some definite security risks because Zilinsky made threats that he was going to uh send a big drone attack.
So they had to take some precautions.
You know what you idiots in America don't understand is that, you know, because you don't have a war raging, you know, 200 miles from your [ __ ] from where I'm standing right now. You know, you you don't have to worry about those sorts of things. I promise you that if if America was in a similar situation where they had to worry about uh about drone and missile attacks, they would probably have you locked up in your houses the whole day.
They wouldn't even let you go outside.
I mean, look what they did in [ __ ] coat.
All right.
Now you have Hunter virus. Exactly.
Yeah. That's another No doubt that's another uh that's another uh manufactured crisis just like CO was.
I went to subs only. I I just can't stand dealing with these idiots.
>> That was a nice view actually.
>> That girl uh Anyway, live from Cridador, Russia on a Monday afternoon.
That wasn't a mod. Thomas Ron personally clear you out like trash.
[laughter] They'll have to pay for education. Yeah.
I just get tired of dealing same old comments over and over again from these idiots, you know?
The thing is is they know they lost.
They know they lost. They just they just can't accept it. They're they're in denial still.
The only described so many people Well, who cares? So, I don't, you know, then those figures may be right, but I don't think it's appropriate to even talk about casualties at this point cuz nobody really knows. Like, I keep saying that over and I I refuse to to throw out any numbers because uh one thing we do know for certain is that both sides are going to exaggerate the casualties of the other side for propaganda purposes. That is well known.
>> Everybody knows that.
So, you know, until you get reliable data, none of that none of that is going to happen until long after this conflict's over.
>> I mean, it doesn't matter anyway. It's there's too many. I mean, there's just too many, period. It never had to happen.
You know, if the United States hadn't started this war back in 2014, none of this would have ever happened.
That's the bottom line.
So, down.
>> War of 1812. Yeah.
>> Well, there were a bunch of those. He just Jason just mentioned some of the big ones. There are a bunch of other smaller wars, too, in in the 19th century.
Well, yeah. 1812 was the last the British uh the British uh invaded the United States in 1812 and the Canadians were on the side of the of the of the British as well. Yeah.
But uh yeah, the uh the British burned down the White House in 1812.
That was also the year that Napoleon invaded Russia.
That was a big year for wars.
Anyway, dudes, this was where the parade >> yesterday or on on uh Saturday.
So, I was in the wrong spot.
And actually, in hindsight, uh I might have been able to pick up Wi-Fi from that restaurant there on the corner, and that would have been a pretty good spot to uh film it, but I didn't know Go.
Uh, doing pretty good. Uh, Welsh Yeah.
It's almost 6:00.
Yeah, I think I'm going to go one more day without drinking. I'm I'm at at 48 hours right now. I'm going to do one more day. Oh, this [ __ ] has some [ __ ] nice nice nice too young.
Yeah, too young.
[clears throat] Almost video.
pulling weeds.
Yeah, I don't miss uh I don't miss springtime yard work, man.
Yeah, I remember uh I remember that. 20 years of that.
Yeah.
I completely Ah, Tomatoes. Peppers. Mel's >> Yeah, I'm trying to go peppers.
They are uh not off to a good start, man. They're growing really slow.
Have I seen the robots?
Uh, no.
Do they allow GMO plants?
Well, I've heard no, but I don't know for certain.
I'm doing good, DJs.
>> I did a pretty good walk this morning really early. So, this is like my second one.
>> It was a lot quieter this morning.
Where is everybody? Man, place is like a ghost town.
Can you see what GMO does to America?
Yeah, I was talking about that earlier.
I mean, I uh I think it has something to do with the low testosterone of like younger American men these days. And that could also have something to do with all this uh gender confusion stuff. You know, I think that if a dude had normal testosterone, you know, he would he would know what he is, man. There would be no confusion, you know.
So yeah, I think there's I think there's something with the food, man. There's definitely something with the food.
It's not like that here. Dudes are normal here.
I mean, I had this young young dude, young American dude. He lives in St. Petersburg. He's been here for quite a while actually teaching and uh [music] I mean his mannerisms, everything about him is so [ __ ] gay, you know? I mean, he's into chicks. He's not gay, but he just if you met the guy, you would think he was for sure gay. And then he's he's like super super uh narcissistic, too, you know, like he he would send me pictures, you know, how like maybe some dudes will send you gym pictures of them flexing, you know, or maybe lifting a heavy weight. He would send me gym pictures of him doing these like like ballet poses, you know?
I'm going, "Dude, you [ __ ] Why did you send me this [ __ ] gay [ __ ] picture, man?"
>> He said, "I'm not gay. My boyfriend is."
So yeah, I'm I'm I'm a little bit sus about food, man.
I'm definitely a little suspicious about the food.
Uh, looks like party in front of McDonald's.
It's pretty warm and it's a little bit sticky today. Actually, the word in Russia is vagny.
Vagnney. It means humid. Vagnney.
Mo means moi means like moist. But when you're talking about like atmosphere, you'd say vagn.
So you say yeah pagota.
That's what you'd say.
But no mosquitoes yet, man. That's that's the good news, >> man. By this time last year, we had so many [ __ ] mosquitoes. I think the reason is cuz we had a we had an abnormally cold spring, man.
I wanted to like Well, I've been I've been studying Russian for like more than eight years, but uh I'm kind of off and on. I'm not like super disciplined about studying.
And uh so I mean I I'm just still in a pretty basic level, man. It's hard. It's It's really hard, but you know, I I learn a little bit every day and uh I know enough to get by, you know, but it just it's an ongoing process, you know, and I don't I don't think I'll ever be fluent.
Well, you meal [music] [music] mala. What?
Mother, mother, mother.
[music] Anyway, I'm not working today.
Uh boy.
What's my thoughts on Nicola Bondurick? I don't know who that is.
>> All right, dudes. I'm going to let the I'm going to let the idiots back in for a while now. Not on not on sitting down.
Let's see.
I'm just having coffee, man.
I'm just having coffee.
I uh I'm being really more strict on my diet right now cuz I really really want to lose those those extra pounds I gained over the winter. Yeah.
So, well, sometimes it's fun to deal with the troll. Sometimes it's fun to have the trolls, you know, but when I'm walking, they just when I'm walking, I can't keep up with their comments.
Communist colors almost. This This is kind of a burgundy, though. Kind of a burgundy.
It's not really uh It's not really like crimson red, you know.
I actually got a fair amount of views this morning considering, you know, I mean, compared to what I've been getting lately, you know, I got almost 10,000 views.
It's nothing like what I used to get. I used to get like hundreds of thousands of views every time I did a stream, you know. But, uh, it's better than it's been recently.
Oh.
I might I might uh I might stop into Herro tomorrow.
Yeah, we'll see. That'll be that'll be 72 hours since my last drink. So, I like doing I like doing going like on 3day 4 day breaks where like no drink no drinking at all, you know?
When I watch movies, do I watch them in English? Uh, I watch I watch some Russian films, but it it's it's uh it's hard for me to uh it's hard for me to uh keep up with the story, you know, if it's Yeah. If it's like solid Russian. I mean, I I get I get like, you know, a lot of the words, but I I I miss enough of them that I I can it's really easy for me to lose track of like the context of what they're talking about, you know, every time you catch my screen.
I know the feeling, bro.
Yeah. From after my first visit here in 2018, man, you know, I had to go back to the States. I was still working then and it was like that's all I thought about was coming back here, you know.
[laughter] She was training a new girl.
This uh this McDonald's is better than the other one.
Uh the other one it seems like they're always understaffed, you know, really badly understaffed. And uh and plus lately. There's these bombs that have been hanging out in there.
So, the only problem this one is it gets kind of loud cuz so many kids in here.
surprisingly quiet.
They sell drugs and some here at McDonald's. I don't doubt it.
How's the van refit? Uh, I've just I've got a couple of uh connectors on order for that for the solar panel. I'm going to have to replace a couple connectors.
But that's about it.
>> And then I just I just got to wait for them to tell me what time I need to be up and yell. It's it's Europe is worse in every way in Russia. I mean, what are you talking about, man? I wouldn't even consider living in Europe. Besides this is Europe. Russia is Europe. You know it one-third of Russia's in Europe for the it doesn't become Asia until you get into the into the Eurals. No, Western Europe. Are you joking? [ __ ] I mean, I might consider living in some place like Hungary maybe. But like Germany or [ __ ] England or France?
Are you [ __ ] out of your mind?
Seriously, what an idiot, man. It's probably you probably never been to Russia. That's that's the only reason you say that. If you'd actually been here, you you would not say that. Trust me.
>> Moscow outclasses any city in Europe by a long shot. Yeah. I mean, seriously, it's not even it's not even there's no competition, man. None. I mean, the only someone who hasn't been here would say something like that.
You get these guys that you like bald and bankrupt. And so these guys, they know that people in the west, they want to see all the bad stuff in Russia, you know, so they can re reinforce their Russia phobia, you know, and and make them feel better about their own country. See how bad Russia is. So this we see how much better off we are here.
And so these guys come over here and they only show like the worst stuff, you know. And believe me, I could do the same thing like in America for example, you know, believe me.
So yeah, Europe is on the verge of economic collapse, man. I I mean, you [ __ ] kidding me?
especially like Germany.
>> No, you can't compare. I'm not comparing Russia with Europe because it's like a completely different planet. Russia's way better than here than Western Europe. It's not even There's no comparison. It's ridiculous. Yeah, it's completely ridiculous. You've never been here, so just shut up. You've never been here. Yeah, I've been there. I've been all over Western Europe. So, you've never been here. You know, you don't know what you're talking about, [music] >> you know? And I wouldn't be comparing [ __ ] if you hadn't have brought it up in the first place. So, don't dish it out if you can't take it.
>> [music] >> Yep.
>> And it's expensive as hell there.
That's the other thing.
Hi, Florida.
What part of Florida?
I used to live down in Miami. Yeah, Miami.
And uh I was also based in St. Pete.
Yeah, I know. I was I was based in St. Petersburg for a while.
I actually live uh the house I was staying in was uh Dun Eden. Dun Eden which is like it's uh closer to Clear Water.
St. Pet St. Petersburg itself is kind of a kind of ghetto. Yeah. But if you get into places like Safety Harbor, Dun Eden, Clear Water, that's it's better.
Yeah. But like right in uh Yeah. Right in like St. Pete proper, it's it's kind of a it's kind of ghetto just like Tampa. Tampa's like really really ghetto. Yeah.
Would I go to Barus if I had a reason to go there? you know, I wouldn't make a special trip there just to see it, you know, cuz it's like it's probably just exactly like, you know, if you go to Minsk, it probably looks like just any other Soviet city.
Yeah. So, Scientologist in Clear Water.
I just remember when I was living in Miami. This was back in 90.
When was it?
90 67 somewhere around there.
Something like that. Um, a lot of Cubans, foreigners aren't allowed to buy property in Crimea, Panama City, and Pensacola.
I haven't spent a I've just driven through the panel and never really stopped there.
Redneck Riviera.
There was uh I used to land at Engles Air Force Base a lot. I forgot what town was near there.
Um I don't remember the Was it?
It wasn't Pensacola.
I don't know. I used to land at Engles Air Force B. I remember that that base.
It had the widest [ __ ] runway. It was so freaky, man. It was like, you know, twice as wide as like a normal runway and resting cables there.
They had a resting resting cable.
And if you hit those things in speed You [ __ ] knew it. You [ __ ] knew it.
Yeah.
[music] >> Even Even when they were attracted, you you you felt it. You goo. That was Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. There's no there's no woke [ __ ] here, man. No walk [ __ ] >> It's No, that's Eggland. Egglund Air Force Base. Eggland. Not Engles.
Egglund. Egglund. [music] England.
Engles is the Russian one. Eggland Air Force Base. Egglund. Yeah, I forgot.
Egglund.
Sorry.
Thoughts on Kosovo? To be honest, I don't know a lot about it. I mean, it was part of Yugoslavia. Um, I don't know a lot about it.
Yeah. Eggland. Eggland.
I had it because like I said, there's a there's a uh there's angles here, so I had it confused.
too much Muslims in Russia.
>> No, there's no problem with Muslims here.
I mean, they've got they've got Muslims here. They're maybe 10% of the population, but uh we get along fine with Muslims. The only time there's ever issues with Muslims is when the United States uh sends Muslim terrorists up here. Yeah. Like they did in Cheschna. Yeah. So, as long as the US doesn't there's really no problem like they did at the at the uh Crocus City Hall. You know, they they the US funded those uh the United States funded those uh those uh Taji terrorists to shoot the Kroa City Hall up, you know. So, and of course they knew it was coming and they warned their citizens about it, right? They they had a they put an alert. They knew it was coming because they were financing it.
Yeah. They they were the ones paying for it. Yeah.
The United States is the largest state sponsor of terrorism on the planet by far.
The guy who played Sunonny and Boxtown >> [laughter] >> Uh, dude, that's that's awesome, Man, you get €1,800 a month. Wow.
That's awesome.
>> Yeah, it's a lot cheaper here.
I I'm glad you love it there, man.
That's great. I've been there. I don't love it there. I wouldn't You couldn't pay me enough to go there. Yeah. Sorry.
No thanks.
But I would think €1,800 a month would be like barely surviving in Europe. Yeah, in most countries in Europe.
>> Yeah, it's a lot cheaper here generally.
>> Dude, for one thing, you don't even know why I'm here. So, I'm not I didn't come to Russia because it's like the most awesome place to live. I came to Russia because I am fighting the United States.
The United States is my enemy. Okay. And Russia is standing up to the United States. That's why I came here because of the war.
Yeah.
So, I didn't come here for any other reason. It's just uh it just uh it's a cool benefit that I also like living here, you know, but that's not the reason I came here. I could have I could be in North Korea. I could be in Iran. I could be in a lot of other places that are standing up and fighting the Americans.
You know, it's not that I was just looking around for some awesome place to live and I decided on this. Although it's an awesome place to live and a lot of people are moving here. A lot of people from the west are moving here. A lot of people a lot of people from Germany, a lot of people from France are moving here.
A lot of Americans are moving here.
They've made it they made it like in fact recently there were so many there were so many people from Western Europe and the United States and Canada wanting to move to Russia that they've got a whole new program now. Um they came out with a new law called uh 702 law 702 and they've basically lifted all restrictions for people from about it's about about 100 not that maybe not that many that's around 50 different countries uh mostly western European and American countries right uh where they've simplified the immigration process and that's actually what I'm here on I'm on I'm here on the 702 visa um yeah so they Basically, the only thing you need to get a 702 visa now is uh just no criminal record and no uh drug use, you know, and then they'll they'll make you a resident. So, um there's uh there's a couple of organizations. One, the welcome torussia.com.
You could uh call them. You could write them if you're interested in getting out of that hell hole Western Europe. You know, they they made it they made it really easy. A lot of lot of people a lot of people Hold on a second, guys.
I'm from Poland. We have it better than in Russia. We don't have Muslims like in Russia.
You know, good for you. I don't care.
Like I said, none of that none of that matters to me. That's not why I came here.
>> Power to the Polish.
You know, in America, we uh we had uh we used to have a lot of Polish jokes.
Yeah.
>> Cuz Poland for Polish people in America are like known for being like really stupid.
There's like jokes about like how many pocks they call them pol how many pocks does it take to put in a light bulb and stuff like that. Those are like Does anybody know any good Polish jokes?
Yeah.
>> Well, yeah, there's more than one side to that story, though. There's there's they're kind of trying to rewrite that whole Molotov ribbon trop issue. Yeah, there's a lot more to it than that.
And you also got to remember that it was the Soviet Union that eventually liberated you from the Nazis, right?
>> Yeah.
>> So Stalin was buying time because just like a lot of other people, there were a lot of other, you know, Neville Chamberlain made a deal with Hitler, the French made a deal, the Poles made a deal with Hitler. Now, this is something they don't like telling you, but the polls also made a deal with Hitler. Um, research it. Believe me, there was all all the countries in Europe were trying to appease Hitler. Everybody and the Soviet Stalin knew he he had to buy time. He knew eventually he was going to have to deal with the Nazis.
So, that that's what uh Molotov ribbon trop was all about. It was just a delaying tactic.
Like I said, even the Poles made a deal with the with the Nazis. Yeah. So, they just they leave all that stuff out, you know? They're they're they're they're rewriting history to make it look like like the they're trying to make say that the Germans and the Russians united and started World War II together. That's what they're trying to say in Western Europe. They're they're completely rewriting history. And they're doing it by only showing the things that support their side, the story they're trying to portray, and then they eliminate everything else. They suppress all the other information. Yeah. So, believe everybody everybody was making deals with with uh Hitler.
Trying to decide Trying to decide if I should uh I I can't I don't really need to piss right now, but I know I'm going to need to.
Tastes a good pull.

>> [music] >> yet is public toilets. Yeah. Uh if they're uh like if they're just like public toilets in the street somewhere.
Yeah, usually. Sometimes no, but yeah, usually. Uh but generally like at restaurants and cafes, it's free.
Heat. Heat.
>> [music] >> Honestly, the drumming thing is kind of annoying.
I think [music] If you're going to San Francisco, you'd better bring a great big butt butt plug there.
I actually I used to like San Francisco.
It was It used to be a really beautiful city to be honest.
>> I mean, it had bad neighborhoods. It had some dangerous neighborhoods, but you know, if you stuck around in like the tourist areas, it was it was actually pretty nice. But I've heard it's just gone totally to [ __ ] Yeah, I've I've heard it's uh it's really it's really turned to [ __ ] I mean, like I said, they've there's always been in San Francisco as long as I can remember, there always bad areas, you know, like the Tenderloin, the Mission, places like that. Even the Hate was kind of the Hate was kind of a rundown area.
But I actually liked The Hate. I thought they was kind of cool, but there were certain there are certain parts of town you definitely did not want to be walking at night.
I lived in Santa Cruz and we used to go up to the city for every now and then like take day day trip.
We called it the city. The city Yeah, it's kind of funny. I was when I was a teenager, a young teenager, like 14, uh I had friends of mine up in far northern California, Humble County, a town called Garberville, near a town called Garberville.
And uh so I used to stay up there and then I would had other friends in San Francisco. So I would like hitchhike from Garberville down in San Francisco like once a week or so to use their shower cuz we where I was staying on Garber or near Garberville. So it was out on the land. It was we didn't have we didn't have uh hot and cold running water bathrooms or anything like that.
So um I would go like a week without taking a shower. go to go down to [snorts] San Francisco, hitchhike all the way down there.
It was so funny back in those days.
There was so many people hitchhiking.
I remember like I would like when I to get out of San Francisco, I would actually catch a bus like a uh one of the Bay Area transit buses to go from San Francisco to San Rafale, which was on the other side of the bridge. It was like the first major city you get to when you when you cross the Golden Gate.
And uh back then in San Rafale uh the highway 101 used to go um straight through the middle of town, right? So good place to stand and hitchhiking. So there'd be a lot of people' be a lot of people standing there hitchhiking, you know, going north and uh and so you would uh you would like you would like uh ask people like if they pulled over like like how far are you going? Because there were certain like towns you did not want to get stuck in cuz you know you if it if it was like a if it was like uh uh the highway didn't go through the center of the town. If it was like a freeway bypass, you know, and there was an on and off ramps, you weren't allowed you weren't allowed to stand on the freeway and hitchhike. And so you could be man you could get in some of these towns and be stuck there for [ __ ] for [ __ ] you know days.
And uh so they said, "Oh, I'm going to uh I'm going to uh [ __ ] what's the name of that city?"
Eureka. I'm going to Eureka.
Sweet. Sweet.
But if it was like if I I'm going to uh what was another one?
I can't I'm forgetting the names of all these so many years ago. We're talking like the the early '7s.
[laughter] Uh I tell you, those were the days, man. It was so [ __ ] awesome. California was so awesome in those days, man.
Seriously.
Uh, you live in Eugene, Oregon. You barely bathe there.
Yeah, I lived uh in 1970.
I mean, I was just a kid. I was like 10, you know, but uh in Tacila.
Yeah. It was like my my parents were already separated, right?
So, my dad had like an old lady, my mom had another old man.
And uh I think we went there first. I think we went to Kilba first and uh we [ __ ] we bought this I don't remember how many acres it was maybe 5 acres and it was you know we kept we scratched up enough money for a down payment. I think the whole five acres was I think that the the sales price was maybe like $5,000 or something like that if that.
It probably wasn't even that. three or $4,000, you know, and it was right on the river.
And uh uh, of course, one thing we didn't know or care about was that whenever that river flooded, it was completely underwater. The whole pretty much all the land would end up underwater, you know. But it didn't matter because uh we didn't even survive the first [ __ ] winter. Yeah, cuz we just [laughter] Yeah, we we tried throwing this shack up, you know, with with wood that we screded and uh you know, we had like no windows.
We barely had a roof, you know. We tried putting like plastic over the window openings.
We couldn't keep the place heated. It was [ __ ] cold as hell. I mean, and we didn't have any woods saved up. So like every morning I'd have to go out and and like scrge around for like in the frost for like twigs and [ __ ] to get a fire started.
>> And that was the only way to warm up, you know?
[ __ ] [laughter] What a way for a [ __ ] 10-year-old kid to live. Of course, no running water. Of course, no [ __ ] you know, none of that [ __ ] You know, if we wanted water, we had to walk to the [ __ ] river with a bucket and take take the water out of the river. That was our drinking water.
That was our cleaning water. That was our cooking water.
I remember I got We all got them.
[ __ ] staff infections. Oh my god, dudes. Have you ever had a staff infection?
Like any little cut, you know, would get infected >> and it's like spreads, you know? It spreads and it's [ __ ] nasty. And it's really they're really hard. It's really hard to get rid of, you know, when you get them on my elbows, you know, my knees.
Yeah.
Yeah. But we didn't uh we didn't last the winter. I remember it finally got so bad that uh my mom and me and her boyfriend, we call him her old man. That's what they used to call it back then. We read at a hotel room in uh in Grants Pass and spent most of the rest of the winter in Grants Pass and then we eventually ended up back in Santa Cruz. Yeah. So the whole the whole going back to nature in Oregon thing.
>> Yeah. We didn't make it we didn't make it through even one winter [laughter] to Kilma.
What a weird place man.
Yeah, that was part of the whole hippie thing going back to the land. I mean, we we also lived I lived in uh a [ __ ] in Soma County called Morning Star. That was that was like that was actually the first time we tried it. We tried Morning Star first, but Morning Star was kind of a uh kind of a kind of bad be at that point by the time we were there because it basically was just a big like shanty town. I mean, people just living in tents and makeshift like shanties basically. And there was no toilets, no running water, no place to take a bath. Yeah, really unsanitary conditions with a lot of people because this guy the guy who owned Morning Star, it was like this like 33 acre property.
Uh he uh he basically allowed anybody that wanted to to live there for free.
And so you got you got all kinds of people from San Francisco from the Bay Area that just went up there and you know camped out.
So I spent some time there in Morning Star.
It wasn't really a commune. I mean, they sort of called it that, but it wasn't really a commune because uh it wasn't originally when they first tried it, you know, back in the late '60s, uh they tried to make a real commune out of it, but yeah, by the time I was there, it was just Yeah. every man for himself. And it was just uh it was just a [ __ ] shanty town, man. It was disgusting.
And then there was another one called Wheeler's Ranch.
I think it was also in Sonoma County.
Same kind of deal.
I never went there though.
Actually, there's a there's a video on YouTube uh where they were talking they were interviewing Lou Gotley at Morning Star, but this was like a couple of years before I was there. It was uh it was actually like in Morning Star's heyday, like I said, I think 1968, I think.
And uh he actually said some interesting things that actually were pretty prophetic, man.
Yeah, he actually had a couple things right. Actually, that's kind of Listen to that actually recently. I I'll post that I'll post that video on my channel.
He was an interesting guy.
He had uh I don't know if they ever got married, but Reena, his old lady, him and Reena lived in this one room shack. Basically, that was like the only permanent structure on the property.
And inside that one room shack, he had a [ __ ] grand piano cuz he was uh he was a professional musician.
And uh uh they had a son there that was born there in that shack and his first solid food was LSD.
Yeah. Vishnu Lou got Benina's son Vishnu. He's probably still alive.
I wonder what he's like now. I mean he was just a little baby then but wow that'd be a good a good uh a little search. Whatever happened to Vishnu got?
What happened to Vishnu got >> traitor? [laughter] Yeah. Well, you got to understand in those days in those days LSD was considered to be like a mind expanding drug. And it was like either you were experienced or you weren't. Like that was at that that Jimmyi Hendricks song, are you experienced? Have you ever been experienced? Well, I have. you know that that it was like a right of passage in those days, you know. And they legitimately believe that it was it was good to eat LSD. [laughter] H so [ __ ] up, man.
So, my dad and his his old lady.
They were collecting welfare and food stamps in like three different counties back then.
They didn't have it wasn't computerized.
You could do that. You could actually they would just drive from like county to county and pick up their [ __ ] welfare checks and food stamps once a month.
[laughter] And then Yeah. It was like when we when we would uh when we got our welfare checks. Well, it was actually twice a month. Yeah, it was twice a month. So, twice a month we would uh we would like have a big [ __ ] feast. I mean, just a big [ __ ] feast. And then by, you know, two weeks later, we had we were [ __ ] broke. There was no food. We were [ __ ] starving to death. [laughter] Yeah. That's how we lived.
Holy [ __ ] He graduated in the '9s and went to Cornell Law. Really interesting.
I'll have to I'll have to write him an email and say, "Hey, I I remember you when you were like 6 months old." [laughter] Uh, Vishnu got I remember uh Lou Lou was uh he wanted to send my sister cuz Lou had Lou had connections in Hollywood, right?
And he wanted to send my sister down to possibly do some acting gigs when she was like nine. Yeah.
And I remember my dad said, "No [ __ ] way."
And uh but my mom thought, "Oh man, that was such a missed opportunity." You know, who knows?
I mean, I'll check it out. I haven't I haven't even thought about that until just now.
What What the hell is What the hell happened to that kid?
More [clears throat] speech.
Yeah.
What's the triple.
This is what I feel like.
Cut off there for a minute.
Please shut up.
What am I doing?
Yeah. Well, the when I do that, the views usually pick up.
Yeah, it makes a difference.
So, it's kind of like it's a battle between, you know, having sufficient views and uh ending up with a lot of trolls, you know.
Hey, but dudes, man, I think I'm going to make it. I think I'm going to make it all the way home without without drinking or eating anything.
Yeah.
You should be proud of me.
>> Ask for a passport.
Send it back to you.
These guys are walking too slow.
I already had a coffee. I'm not going to have anymore.
>> I'm just to the house. Yeah, I don't plan on making any more stops.
I might do it tomorrow. I might have a beer tomorrow. Maybe that'll be like 72 hours. So, poop down. Yeah, for me it's just doesn't do that. It used to do that for me, but for now it just makes me piss piss a lot when I drink coffee.
Uh the trial. Yeah, the trial. The trial was over a long time ago, man. There were three dudes, uh, three dudes, I believe, got convicted.
Uh, the main guy, I think the trigger man, he got the longest sentence, I think, like 20 years.
And I think the minimum sentence was like three or four years for the other guys.
coffee. Yeah, that's true. It does make if if you drink too much Yeah, there's definitely a point where like I I don't want to drink anymore, you know?
So they they changed this place. Did they get rid of the smoker?
Yeah, I got to find out if they still do. I can't tell if the smoker's back there still or not.
>> I think it is, actually.
Yeah, cuz this was the only place I knew of where you could get like real brisket, carrots.
Hey, Ron, just curious. Here in the US, we mostly have the needle for people who are put to death. How about in Russia?
What type of death sentences? They don't do death sentences here.
Yeah, there's no death sentence in Russia.
Thank [music] you.
[clears throat] Uh, no problem, Inspector Gadget.
Yeah, they do firing squads in Utah, I think. I think that's still an option.
There might be some other states.
>> I mean, there's some states where they give you a choice, you know.
Yeah, there's there's no death death sentence here.
Yeah. So, dudes, I got I got to be watching the beer for a while and stuff, not cheating. So, I want to get down to my swimsuit swimsuit weight. [laughter] >> Yeah, summer uh summer is almost here, man.
Yeah.
Smell.
Melania is ready for swim season.
All right.
Let's see.
Just something, one thing, Ron. If you're doing intermittent fasting, you should have a small amount of carbs at least once a week, especially if you hit a plateau.
Why?
Why?
I mean, I usually do, but I don't think it's necessary.
I uh you know how when I I lost a lot of weight really fast when I first started keto.
Uh but you know how I did it was by doing a lot of fasting. I mean not just intermittent but actually like 24 even 72-hour periods, right? Absolutely nothing. Yeah.
And uh yeah, I lo I uh I lost weight fast.
And I really I kept it off until I don't know until I once I started drinking again, that's when it that's when it really that's when I started gaining weight again.
So it's it's really the alcohol is the problem more than more than anything else.
So, cutting way back on that, too.
As much as I enjoy it, which I, you know, I do, I do enjoy drinking, you know, but something I could definitely live without.
I'll explain. So, when you fast, you're using anorobic respiration. That's what causes the liver to break glycogen to glucose, and it uses fat.
You need energy to burn the energy.
Yeah. But you get the energy from the fat.
You get the energy from the fat.
You don't need you don't need to get energy from carbs. You can get energy from fat.
Fat is also converted into glucose.
That's that's the whole point of keto is to become fat adapted so that your body gets used to burning fat.
Yeah. You don't I mean I don't any requirement ever to have carbs.
Uh you managed to lose 30 days in one month.
Once you burn enough fat, yeah, you're I mean, yeah, it'll burn the fat first and then Yeah, that'll then it'll go start eating up your muscle. That's true.
>> But the body's smart. I mean, the body's not stupid. It it it knows that it needs muscle. So, that's it's only going to start eating muscle as a last resort.
Like, first it goes after the fat. And then when that runs out, you go to autoas fascia where it starts eating up all the dead dormant cells and all the garbage. And that that's one thing that's one of the reasons why fasting is really good is to get into autofascia.
And uh so it'll do that and then finally once all that's gone then it'll start eating your muscle.
I have not done a long a fast longer than about 40 hours in a couple years.
I need to uh I need to do that actually.
I need to uh clean out, you know, clean out the [ __ ] And that's the best way to do it. Go on like at least a three-day fast.
Pass from breakfast to lunch.
I bet you eat some snacks. I bet you eat some snacks in between, don't you?
[laughter] You're in ketosis.
I have those strips. I I pass through my urine to check. Ah, I've never done that. I probably should.
Yeah, I'll check. I I should probably do that actually. I've never done that. I just kind of always assumed I had to be in ketosis, you know, especially when you're when you've done more than 24 hours without eating anything. Yeah, you're pretty much guaranteed to be in ketosis if you go like uh more than 24 hours without eating.
All right, dudes. Dudes, I think uh I think I'm going to wrap it up, guys.
Head home.
From Crashador, Russia, comrade Captain Ron signing off. We'll see you guys.
