the gravy train is going to kill more ukrainian soldiers, without a plan....
..... an awkward introduction in Kyiv where Ambassador Whitaker (U.S. ambassador to NATO) and European leaders meet. Whitaker frames the U.S. role as selling weapons to NATO allies — who then supply them to Ukraine — under a “we won’t give things away, we’ll sell them” policy (the “PURL” initiative). He mentions roughly $2.5 billion in expected sales/packages. Lt COl Daniel Davis 's core critique: massive spending, sanctions and weapon transfers are happening without a clear strategy or defined objective. Despite many sanctions packages (he cites the EU’s 19th package and talks of a 20th), there’s no evidence these rounds change the battlefield; they’re criticized as ritualistic and untethered to concrete goals. Human cost and morale: the speaker emphasizes the toll on Ukrainian men (casualties, desertions, large numbers fleeing—especially ages 18–22) and calls it unacceptable to keep the “pipeline” of money and arms open when there’s no clear endgame. Military effectiveness concerns: air-defense systems being delivered (Patriot/PAC-3s, etc.) might intercept some strikes but are ineffective and extremely costly against massed Russian long-range missiles and hundreds of low-cost drones. Using expensive interceptors against cheap drones is unsustainable; Russia’s numbers and saturation tactics mean many attacks still get through. Political/diplomatic critique: Zelenskyy’s staged media presentations focus on image and impression rather than strategy. The defense industry and arms suppliers benefit financially, but that does not equate to a winning strategy. Bottom line: The speaker argues the Western approach looks like maintaining funding and optics (“keep the gravy train open”) rather than pursuing measurable actions tied to an outcome — and that is dangerous given the human and strategic costs.

nazi tour...
Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky has inspected multiple units fighting Russian forces in Donbass, including openly neo-Nazi military formations, meeting distinguished servicemen and presenting them with state awards.
The PR stunt comes as the battlefield situation continues to deteriorate for Ukrainian forces in the southwest of Russia’s Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), where Kiev’s units are encircled in the city of Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmeysk) and nearby Mirnograd (Dimitrov). Zelensky met with troops at multiple undisclosed locations, described by Ukrainian media as command points close to the frontline.
The units inspected by Zelensky included the 1st National Corps ‘Azov’ – one of several offshoots of the notorious neo-Nazi unit of the same name that was defeated early in the conflict during the battle of Mariupol.
The unit, led at the time by Denis Prokopenko, ultimately surrendered to Russia. He was later exchanged and now leads the 1st Azov Corps.
Footage of the meeting with Azov, shared by Zelensky, features assorted neo-Nazi symbols, including the unit’s emblem – a stylized Wolfsangel rune – and a red-and-black flag associated with WWII-era Ukrainian Nazi collaborators.
Ukraine’s 4th National Guard Operational Brigade ‘Rubezh’ was another unit with explicit neo-Nazi ties visited by Zelensky during his reported frontline tour. Formed in 2015 in accordance with “NATO standards,” the brigade has longstanding affiliations with the far-right ‘Svoboda’ (Freedom) party.
Several soldiers awarded by Zelensky wore patches featuring SS runes, apparently signifying their allegiance to the brigade’s 4th Battalion, known under the nickname ‘Sila Svobody’ (Power of Freedom).
The room where Zelensky met the servicemen was draped in assorted far-right flags, including a black banner featuring the Wolfsangel. Ukrainian nationalists have long insisted the symbol is not the same as the one used by Nazi Germany, but rather a monogram of their ‘National Idea’ slogan.
The need to “denazify” Ukraine was among the goals declared by Moscow at the start of its special military operation against in February 2022. Ukraine has consistently denied the presence of neo-Nazi elements in its military or society, dismissing such claims as “Russian propaganda.”

nazi obama....
The former US President Barack Obama's administration contributed a lot to the 2014 Maidan in Ukraine.
The administration of former US President Barack Obama played a key role in the 2014 Maidan events that “gave rise to Zelensky,”, former US National Security Advisor Gen. Mike Flynn said.
Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs in the US Department of State, Victoria Nuland, then-CIA Director John Brennan, were all “part and parcel to the decisions made,” he says, in reference to the US-instigated coup at the time.
The United States and the West must abandon the habit of using lies in diplomacy to foster genuine peace, Flynn also noted.
"We, the West, just kind of went and went ahead and we violated every aspect of it [non-expansion of NATO]. So we have to stop lying in our diplomacy in order to achieve peace," Flynn said.

in russian hands....
Larry Johnson & Danny argue that the Ukrainian position, particularly around the city of Pokrovsk (referred to in the transcript as “Prosk/Picross”), is on the verge of collapse, with only small pockets of Ukrainian control remaining. They criticize Western and Kyiv leadership for refusing to acknowledge Ukraine’s deteriorating battlefield situation, accusing them of “self-delusion” and dismissing unfavorable reports as “Russian disinformation.”
Larry Johnson, a former CIA analyst, claims:
Russia is simultaneously winning multiple major battles across the front and faces no time pressure; the Western habit of treating the war like a timed sporting event is misguided.
Ukraine is spread thin along a massive front (likened to Baltimore-to-Miami distances) and lacks reserves, while Russia has depth and manpower.
Russian military leadership is deliberately slow and casualty-averse, and often leads from the front.
Russia tries to avoid unnecessary Ukrainian casualties because so many families are interwoven across the two countries.
The discussion then shifts to reports of Ukrainian desperation in mobilization, including an anecdote about Angelina Jolie’s Ukrainian driver being drafted. Captured Ukrainian soldiers reportedly said they were abandoned without supplies, surrounded, and surrendered because they had no chance.
Johnson claims (without evidence provided in the clip) that CIA/Special Activities Division personnel may be trapped near Pokrovsk and that recent helicopter missions were attempts to extract them, not to reinforce Ukrainian troops.
Overall, the narrative presents Ukraine as near breaking point militarily, Russian forces as steadily and methodically advancing, and Western governments as refusing to acknowledge realities on the ground.
