2:39:23 No, it was too low. That was not the number at all. It's too low! So I got... so there is a podcast with this guy Brian Dean Wright who sounds like the... what's that Lisp guy? The tyrannical Lisp? The tyrannical Lisp. This guys ex-CIA analyst got a podcast Go figure and he sounds like the tyrannical Lisp But he has some good opinions. He doesn't do clips, he does quotes from clips and it's a little different than ours but he's got numbers! Okay These are the numbers that we've heard before. This is Ukraine, Brian Dean Wright drones and money So all in this package and previous ones like it means that the US has sent 76.8 billion dollars to Ukraine although Congress has actually authorized 113 billion in all
2:40:20 Now what's really interesting is that this latest batch of weaponry comes just days after Ukraine launched a series of drone strikes attacking Russia's capital, Moscow. And folks, that was remarkable because it was the first time that Kiev bombed residential buildings in Moscow. Specifically a wealthy neighborhood in the capital that's home to the nation's financial and political elite. Now I should say that Ukraine's drone strikes were only allegedly organized by Kiev because President Volodymyr Zelensky is denying any involvement as of this morning Which, to be clear is what he and his government have done in previous attacks but then later they admit that yes they did organize them. But for now the spokesman for Ukraine's president said quote we certainly enjoy watching the attacks and we predict more attacks but we certainly don't have any direct involvement end quote
2:41:15 Okay, as you would imagine the Russians dismiss that assertion saying that not only was Ukraine responsible for these drone strikes but that they also used US and NATO equipment to do it. At least that was the allegation made by Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu. Okay so who's right? Did Ukraine launch those drone strikes against Russia using American drones Well, the White House and the Pentagon were both asked about that possibility yesterday. And by the way if so did Kiev get permission from Joe Biden to do it? First, The White House spokesman Corinne Jean-Pierre denied knowing anything saying quote we've been gathering information about exactly what happened with these drone strikes in Moscow but to be clear we do not support attacks inside Russia period end quote Okay this is very interesting
2:42:12 Very interesting. Now, let's just be clear these are moped drones not the moped These are small drones these are not like it was the The RQ-170, that's the Iranian... That's a drone that the Iranians forced down from us with GPS jamming. We were talking about on the last show. Yeah, it was a proper drone! It was a big drone! These are not big drones. These drones are like the size of a moped. Puny drones! Little drones. But one that is being sent to Ukraine does carry... I think its 135 is the number. I have some pictures of Zelensky standing next to one there
2:42:51 Delta wing drones are very pretty actually the other cute and they're about six to eight feet long, and they carry a 100 pound Explosive I thought was like 20 pounds, but okay now hundred hundred pounds. That's that's that's quite a payload yeah, it's impressive and Meanwhile he's got this guy if you want to hear more of him He's got a little I do have a little spiel on the lies They come from our government and he's not happy about that. Later, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said that the U.S does not have quote specific information that tells us who is responsible for these drone strikes but that it's not like we are going to go out and investigate this That would not be appropriate for us to do Finally, he insisted that the US had nothing to do with these attacks at all Quote We don't tell the Ukrainians where to strike end quote
2:43:45 All right, to be very clear everything that I just said that the White House and the Pentagon said It was all a lie. So here's the truth, and this is whether you support or disapprove of America's involvement in the war. Let's start with this. Last August Ukraine's deputy of military intelligence, a major general Vadim Sabitsky told British press that the U.S. approves or disapproves of all Russian targets to be killed or destroyed. He said that when discussing the use of the HIMARS artillery system That is on top of additional reporting from multiple European and American press outlets that the US has in fact assisted the Ukrainians in multiple attacks on multiple Russian targets. Let me just give you three examples First, we helped bomb Russia's Moskva warship in the Black Sea back in April last year Second, We helped bring down a Russian transport plane that had 200 Russian soldiers inside
2:44:43 that was also in the spring of last year. Third, our intel and related support communities have led to the deaths of at least 13 Russian generals mostly in the eastern part of Ukraine so folks even if you celebrate everything that I just said in terms of the Russians taking it on the chin The point is that both the White House and the Pentagon lied yesterday, right? Contrary to their statements we know with absolute certainty in fact from the Ukrainian military itself that the United States absolutely assists Kiev in targeting Russian military personnel and hardware. Excellent clips! And it fits perfectly... That being a huge lie with two clips I have from CNN
