This video discusses the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, questioning the lack of focus on what Ukrainians truly desire and exploring the potential consequences of military aid being withheld. The discussion touches upon left-wing ideological priorities, the aggressor in the conflict, the role of US foreign policy under the Biden administration, and the rise of a global right-wing movement. The conversation also includes personal anecdotes about the realities of the war and differing perspectives on the effectiveness and intentions behind US support.
Yes, I can share the full transcript. Here it is:
blackpilled kiwi this show is hard to pin down on Ukraine so I just want to put this to you guys if Ukraine is pressured into concessions to Russia through the withholding of military aid is that an acceptable situation for left-wing ideological priorities it depends on what the concessions are I mean I want to see the end to this conflict the the idea that anyone on the left would be denying who the aggressor is in this instance that's crazy and I don't think that are many people um I think it's overstated Russia obviously invaded Ukraine and is the aggressor but it can also be true that Biden's P tripling down on like NATO uh expansion and sending this many arms without seemingly having an overarching end goal in mind perhaps has exacerbated uh the the situation wasn't the best uh route to go down and so I'm very much in opposition to Donald Trump just taking Russia's side and now you see Russia and Israel voting together with the United States at the UN like now we're the axis of aggressors but it depends really on what the what the concessions are so that's the reality of it I I would also say like you know um to the extent that we can Divine what uh ukrainians want is what I um uh where I tend to land on this um I don't think that the US should be inhibiting um Ukrainian aspirations um this is a situation where you know to the extent that I don't think we're going to as much um the extent that we're arming uh Ukraine it is in light of an invad by another country in um in service of an agreement we made with them 40 years ago 30 years ago uh to give up nuclear weapons and uh so you know if I had to guess I think it's unlikely that they're going to get back uh territory that they had in 2013 uh but uh um also there's more appetite for negotiation within Ukraine than there was a year ago that's my sense you know if you look at like polling right and it also depends on the people who are in the regions that would be affected so that's where we have to ask those particular questions it's why we're open to a two-state solution even though we'd note like from a ideological or pure like Theory standpoint one Democratic state in Palestine would be the proper solution But ultimately like stop Bloodshed and war is uh you know order of the day New Jersey mailman Sam you have a show where you can literally have a Ukrainian civilian on to ask what they want well I think it really is going to take more than one civilian to determine I mean I I but but it's also a question of like what is I appreciate the sentiment but the reason I think that we focus so much on first of all there's a there was a genocide in Gaza in comparison to Ukraine is like there's no shortage of Pro Ukraine voices on uh mainstream press and that's the reality of it and so what counternarrative are we providing here or like what gaps are we filling there because the United States is align is against or under bidding was against the aggressors here the It lines up so that there are many pro Ukrainian voices and it's a very mainstream opinion on the Democratic side of the party so I'm not necessarily sure what the show Pro would provide in that way well and i also say like some you so-called Pro Ukraine voices are selling them uh something that wasn't ever on the table which is like actually support to win this war and so like when Richard Blumenthal Senators go out there and say like we're going to fight to the end and actually you look at the way that America has been supporting it which is to not really be that offensive and basically like kind of restrain the Ukrainian forces like I we were never actually unfortunately what Hillary said was going was going to happen did has happened which is that it's going to be an Afghanistan where we have people die and try to just bleed Russia but what that means for Ukraine I mean we see yeah I mean it and and and the Ukrainian people still have sovereignty and it depends on you know they they I know organically want to fight Russia right but it's the question is what place does the United States have in terms of negotiating this and um we supported uh helping Ukraine uh uh fight fight Russia and and arming them but I also think that we have to have an end end point in mind here and but the Trump Administration just siding with Russia and repeating complete lies about who invaded who is certainly not the way to go call him from a 509 area code who's this hey Sam it's Ronald Reagan Ronald Reagan long time no talk to I know how are you well fine great um hey raayan oh hi how are you hey hey I'm doing well how are you you're a lot more enthusiastic talk to em all right go ahead so real quick um um on Ukraine my wife uh my wife is from Ukraine and she went um in November she went back to um she had to bury her father who passed away so um it was not like an easy trip to make but uh she went with her mom and they were pretty sure you know safe and ke it's very well protected which is true um but I think it was a really traumatic experience um there was in the week and a half she was there maybe one night where they weren't um you know woken up by they have a series of alerts when there's drones when there's ballistic missiles you can hear things being intercepted you've got to go down to the Subway or go into the hallway of your apartment building and so I mean the attitude in Ukraine I think has defin I can't speak for ukra you know all ukrainians but um when you see in the polls um that there's more and more openness to negotiations and concessions I mean it's people are exhausted it's um in a lot of ways it's a psychological um Warfare you have a city of millions of people and people aren't sleeping you know so for uh going on three three years now people are are not really getting sleep and then you're supposed to just go to work and act like nothing's going on um and and that's really really hard so um but it you know to the extent like you guys need to talk about it or should talk about it I mean I don't like lectures like that but when I called about this a couple years ago one of the things I mentioned was that Putin had just given a speech where he talked about how in the west kids go to school and change their gender and it sounded I said at the time it sounded like a Tucker monologue because Tucker was still in the air at the time and really what it sounds like now is Trump's campaign speeches yeah and I think there is and some people took that to me like we should fight in Ukraine to protect trans and really my my point was there's a broad Global right-wing movement and there are ties between something stupid like Joe Rogan you know talking about uh you know trans kids in in sports and Trump and and Elan and and this other thing so I mean being you're right about Matt DUS had had a piece just the other day I don't know where it was that I read it where he was making this point I I think that you were also on point about this in a way that perhaps some folks you know on the left liberal side were were slow to catch up with but um it's been the vision of of Steve Bannon too like the Orban style politics that really and I think then you have the tech Bros uh with their anarco capitalist thing with mle wanting to me merge those two two visions but when it comes to Putin saying all that stuff about you know that Echoes the right here um I think that vote on Ukraine at United Nations was very scary and interesting and bolsters your point where you have Russia Israel and the United States voting against that resolution China abstaining you see that your vision your hypothesis basically coming together where under Trump's leadership and then Putin and then Netanyahu this is the I call the the axis of aggressors or the basically the right-wing bullies coming together and that is the the Coalition that Trump is seeking the the other thing I yeah thank you um I I totally agree and I think uh to Matt's Point uh you know you would think well Ukraine should be or ukrainians should really like Biden because of all the the assistance and the help but the truth is I you know maybe there's some that feel that way but I know a lot of the people I've talked to were just frustrated more than anything else because literally every step along the way there was uh sort of needless beat dragging um for different types of Aid um different types of systems or planes or whatever um it just it felt like if like Matt said if if you wanted to fight to win um those decisions and I know it's complicated because of the the nword right um but the nukes but um you know it it didn't a lot of the feed dragging didn't seem to make a lot of sense or to help the situation and it did I mean if you wanted to put a t foil hat on you would say it seems like there was a decision to like let them float along without giving them the tools to actually make decisive Victory there are two things one it is quite apparent to me that uh or was at the time that the Biden Administration did not think that uh did not under they overestimated Russia's ability to uh invade and Conquer Within like a week I'm convinced they thought I mean you remember all the warnings they weren't sending weapons uh and it and it took like like really a week before the rhetoric changed and people realized like wait a second you know maybe uh uh Russia is a little bit more of a paper tiger than we thought and then the second issue is what what Clinton said at the time which was that it is in the United States best interest to just let this be a uh an extended War of Attrition because um you could defeat Russia quickly I mean theoretically right uh and drive them out and um and and you know by by by showing some type of like I guess overwhelming force or you could just sort of drag Russia into an extended Quagmire that's slowly bleeds them and I think they I think from the United States perspective if they you know this is this is what their strategic um you know Vision was I mean I think that's you know that's what it feels like to me yeah and I think I mean tragically uh I think Clinton's going to get the relief he's been seeking and you know if you follow the the situation closely I mean they're they're not in a great situation I mean so to the extent you wanted to sort of bleed them out um and and have a a slow Progressive Victory I mean there's an argument that you could be somewhat close in that they're relying on North Korean troops and they're very poorly armed and equipped and so the idea that you would pursue that strategy for three years and then uh you know we we elect our own fascist who's basically well I mean that's the thing is that Biden you know um uh I don't know if there was ever uh someone who ever had a greater estimation of themselves uh than than Joe Biden relative to his his abilities Biden thought like I'm gonna I'm gonna take care of this in February basically yeah I mean Biden right now you know Biden is six months ago even or a year ago he's like okay in February is when I started to put the hammer down and we accelerate this thing and um you know that I'm convinced you know it was was quite clear that there was not going to be any type of resolution to this or any fundamental change in US policy until after the election and it was either going to go one way or the other way and I think Biden way hurt his negotiating position because the United States had an opportunity to re assert soft power in the wake of Donald Trump's chaos and Trump and Biden bogging us down once again in the genocide in Gaza I think hurt his negotiating position there or his ability to to to um I don't know make this come to an end in any real way and then the question is is if Trump and the Republicans decide to cut off zinsky for whatever Petty reason Trump is saying do they go to the European parties to seek weaponry and is there an opportunity for other like right-winger right-wing European leaders or whatever as we're seeing the global far right have success in some European countries do they start to dip their toe in here and that's some of the chaos that Trump could cause right with basically taking Russia's side here right yeah and I you know uh just to close it out I guess on a on a happy note um sarcasm uh I I I don't know that we're totally prepared for what it could look like uh to have a shutdown of us support I mean if they shut down starlink like they're threatening if they stop provide providing um you know the air the air defense uh missiles and things like that I mean the the bombs and the explosions that are being heard all night long in keev are not for the most part hitting their target there's still debris and you know things like that and occasionally something will get through but um I mean there's there's a possibility for it to get I mean it's already ugly but it's a there's a real potential for it to get um very bad so anyhow uh thanks for all you do and appreciate you guys that was a happy apprciate good job by by I mean that's the one thing is I think I've heard internally Trump people talk about Ukraine is they don't want it to be his Afghanistan and tank his numbers like Afghanistan did for Joe although might be in Afghanistan in a different sense like right in terms of trying to use uh Afghanistan in the way that we did to bleed the Soviets um but that was by that was the vision that Hillary Clinton accidentally said out loud it's not that Hillary was in power but given the fact that she was Secretary of State this is indicative of how these people think within the National Security establishment can I also just P push back on one thing about the Afghanistan I do not believe that Joe Biden's uh poll numbers right dropped because of Afghanistan right it was because from a legislative perspective from dealing with domestic things he was Dilly ding around with all the uh the Republicans and moved from like we're getting stuff done for the American people mode into look how I am bringing together the country I.E you know these 50 people who are in Washington right right right gave them an opportunity to catch their breath and got like a ninth of build back better pass in the end complete outrage hey folks don't forget to hit the Subscribe button and check out our
