- welcome back Defenders Jake here we're
- going to start today's video with a bar
- chart I don't think I've ever done this
- before but this bar chart is super
- interesting this was put out by NATO
- 0:14
- yesterday showing the defense
- 0:16
- expenditure as a share of GDP for the
- 0:19
- entire NATO alliance there's two colors
- 0:23
- the light blue is 10 years ago
- 0:26
- 2014 the dark blue is the estimate for
- 0:29
- this year for the entire
- 0:32
- Alliance Poland leads the way spending
- 0:35
- over 4% of their GDP on defense Estonia
- 0:39
- comes in second place with
- 0:42
- 3.4% the United States is third with
- 0:46
- 3.3% and the United States is the only
- 0:48
- one who's decreased over the last 10
- 0:52
- years the reason being is back in 2014
- 0:56
- we were still heavily involved in Iraq
- 0:58
- and Afghanistan
- 1:00
- but three4 of the alliance meets the 2%
- NATO
- guideline it's not a rule it's not a
- requirement it's a
- recommendation it's a
- 1:13
- guideline who doesn't meet the guideline
- 1:16
- Croatia Portugal Italy Canada Belgium
- 1:20
- Luxembourg Slovenia and
- 1:22
- Spain but you can see the trend for even
- 1:25
- the countries that don't meet the
- 1:27
- 2% with the exception of Croatia which
- 1:30
- is about the same all the other
- 1:33
- countries in the NATO alliance have
- 1:34
- dramatically increased their spending on
- 1:37
- defense good job Luxembourg more than
- 1:44
- tripling so the alliance is
- 1:47
- strengthening it's improving and this is
- 1:50
- a direct result of the Russians and
- 1:53
- their threats all the countries that
- 1:56
- border
- 1:57
- Russia are getting serious about their
- 1:59
- defense
- 2:00
- Poland Estonia lvia Lithuania
- Finland and here is an interesting clip
- from Russia media monitor the entire
- things like 8 minutes I'll link it down
- below but they look pretty sad on
- Kremlin State TV talking about the
- 2:18
- latest round of
- 2:20
- sanctions and how Russia is surrounded
- 2:22
- by
- 2:23
- enemies with the exception of
- 2:26
- bellarus the people of all of Russia's
- 2:29
- Neighbors
- 2:30
- hate
- 2:31
- Russia because they're an Empire they're
- 2:34
- a bully they threaten and attack their
- 2:37
- neighbors all the
- 2:39
- time this is an unbelievable clip from
- 2:41
- solv off on Kremlin State
- 2:44
- TV he has the audacity to say this with
- 2:47
- a straight face let me read this for
- 2:50
- you we are not trying to conquer Ukraine
- 2:53
- we are not trying to deprive them of
- 2:56
- statehood we are not trying to deprive
- 2:59
- them of sovereignty as such although
- 3:01
- they do not have it we are not trying to
- conquer Western
- Europe why would he use the word Western
- when there's a Central and Eastern
- Europe we're conducting a police
- operation to enforce peace which is
- 3:17
- clear from the number of troops
- 3:19
- that were explaining why we're going
- 3:22
- this particular way that it was solely
- 3:25
- due
- 3:26
- to Vladimir Putin explained every step
- 3:29
- of this topic in great detail for what
- 3:33
- purpose to break the West's lie to take
- 3:36
- keev in 3
- 3:38
- days everyone on Kremlin State tv was
- 3:40
- saying this in February of
- 3:43
- 2022 that they could take the capital
- 3:45
- city of ke in three days or a week solv
- 3:47
- off himself said this this is not a
- 3:49
- western
- 3:51
- lie although Putin says there was not
- 3:54
- even close to a political decision to
- 3:57
- take Kei this was not even on the
- 4:00
- table and it's no coincidence that Putin
- says capturing a city of 3 million
- people with such amount of forces and
- means we have highly professional people
- in the general staff who understand very
- well especially when we draw on the
- experience of the Great Patriotic War
- what it is to conduct this kind of
- 4:22
- operation and what number of forces and
- 4:25
- means is
- 4:28
- necessary so this is is the Chicken and
- 4:30
- the Egg the Russians are now trying to
- 4:33
- defend themselves saying their intention
- 4:35
- was never to take the capital city of
- 4:38
- keev because they launched their
- 4:40
- fullscale invasion of Ukraine with such
- 4:43
- a small Invasion
- 4:45
- Force they're trying to give themselves
- 4:48
- cover saying we were never going to take
- 4:50
- keev only an idiots would invade Ukraine
- 4:54
- a country of 40 million people with such
- 4:57
- a small Invasion Force and our general
- 5:00
- staff in the military is not
- incompetence they would never launch a
- full-scale Invasion with such a small
- underwhelming unorganized incompetent
- Force that's their defense holy
- cow time will play in Ukraine's favor
- once f-16s and more Western Aid arrives
- 5:21
- this is according to Ukraine's military
- 5:23
- commander General
- 5:25
- cersi and general cerski makes the
- 5:28
- arguments that
- 5:30
- the reason why the Russian military is
- 5:32
- pushing so hard right now this summer is
- 5:36
- because they know it's only going to get
- 5:38
- more difficult over the next six months
- 5:42
- the United States is sending another
- 5:44
- Patriot system to Ukraine the Germans
- 5:46
- are also sending another Patriot system
- 5:50
- f-16s are going to arrive any day
- 5:53
- now and with Maga blocking military aid
- 5:57
- from the United States for eight months
- 6:00
- this put a lot of pressure on other
- Western allies to increase their
- contributions but it takes time it takes
- time to prepare and deliver and for
- these weapons and supplies to reach the
- front line we've already felt the
- benefits the last two
- 6:18
- months but it's only going to get worse
- 6:20
- for Russia every single day time is on
- 6:24
- Ukraine's
- 6:25
- side rare Ukrainian smart bomb strikes
- 6:29
- found and cut off Russian troops
- 6:32
- according to reports there's this
- 6:34
- isolated pocket of Russian
- 6:36
- soldiers currently being hit with NATO
- 6:39
- standard smart
- 6:40
- Munitions this is happening in the city
- 6:42
- of vens I've not mentioned this but it's
- 6:46
- now been going on for possibly two weeks
- 6:49
- there's a group of about 400 Russian
- 6:52
- troops trapped in the city of vens
- 6:56
- they're underground this is some kind of
- 6:58
- factory and they've been cut off from
- 7:01
- resupply the Russians can't get them
- food water
- ammunition so they're hiding out in the
- basement of this Factory it's pretty big
- and they're just being pounded day and
- night with glide bombs uh from Ukrainian
- planes I'll link the video down below if
- 7:20
- you want to see it I didn't mention it
- 7:22
- in my previous videos because I didn't
- 7:23
- think it would last this long but
- 7:26
- eventually these Russian soldiers are
- 7:28
- going to surrender or they're going to
- 7:31
- die I don't think anyone's trying to
- 7:33
- reach them I don't think the Russian
- 7:36
- military at the moment in harke has the
- 7:39
- capacity to save these
- 7:42
- guys Ukrainian forces hit 15 Russian air
- 7:46
- defense systems in
- 7:47
- Crimea just over the past two
- 7:51
- months I've lost count of how many times
- 7:54
- Ukraine has destroyed a Russian air
- 7:56
- defense system on the west coast of
- 7:59
- Crimea it's clear Ukraine is trying to
- 8:02
- go after these radar installations and
- air defense systems to clear the skies
- for
- f-16s but Crimea is the key and I think
- Ukraine knows this if I'm being
- honest there's going to be another
- debate here in the United States after
- 8:20
- the November election I think Congress
- 8:24
- has to vote on another 50 or 60 billion
- 8:28
- aidid package for you Ukraine in either
- 8:31
- December or
- 8:32
- January and the ukrainians know or they
- 8:35
- think they need to make some kind of
- 8:38
- visible progress by December or January
- 8:42
- to make the arguments here in the United
- 8:44
- States to get more military
- 8:46
- aid so I think hon and Crimea is the key
- 8:51
- we don't know the details I have no
- 8:53
- specifics but I do think that Ukraine
- 8:57
- believes hon and Crimea is the the weak
- 8:59
- point for the Russian military and if
- 9:02
- they can get across the river in Mass
- they can easily take some territory if
- they can make a breakthrough in
- hon if they can destroy that bridge
- Crimea will be
- isolated and then it's the siege of
- 9:17
- Crimea for
- 9:18
- 2025 that's going to be the arguments
- 9:21
- that seninsky will make to the United
- 9:23
- States in Congress to continue military
- 9:26
- aid for another year
- 9:29
- so Russia knows this as well and they
- 9:32
- keep transferring air defense systems to
- 9:35
- Crimea to the detriment of Mainland
- 9:38
- Russia we have reports every night of
- 9:42
- drone attacks this time Ukraine struck a
- 9:45
- metallurgic plant as well as facilities
- 9:49
- in three other Russian
- 9:51
- regions Russia's air defense systems
- 9:54
- inside of Russia are nowhere to be found
- 9:58
- petroleum storage tank on fire in
- 10:00
- Russia's RAV oblast here's what a an oil
- Depot fire looks like at
- Sunrise and this happened in the city of
- azof this is the rosoff region uh once
- again a drone
- attack and this oil Depot burned for at
- least five or six hours before the
- 10:19
- firefighters could put it
- 10:22
- out so Russia's taken some losses they
- 10:26
- need a course correction what is Putin's
- 10:29
- Grand
- 10:30
- strategy Putin appoints a relative to
- 10:33
- defense Ministry Post in yet another
- 10:36
- shakeup so Putin has sacked four Deputy
- 10:39
- defense
- 10:40
- ministers and to replace them put one of
- 10:44
- his relatives in so who is this woman
- 10:48
- Anna
- 10:49
- cof a daughter of Putin's late cousin so
- 10:53
- this woman is Putin's cousin's daughter
- 10:57
- so this is Putin's cousin once
- 11:00
- removed and she's apparently the
- president of a coal mining company and
- she's the wife of Russia's en energy
- minister so the goal of Putin is to
- crack down on corruption and theft
- inside the Russian military but also to
- 11:22
- uh transfer Russia into a permanent
- 11:25
- wartime economy Putin is prepared to
- 11:28
- have these wars with
- 11:29
- NATO Eastern Central Europe and the
- 11:32
- caucuses these wars are going to go on
- 11:34
- for decades so Putin wants people who
- 11:39
- understand business or Finance or the
- 11:41
- economy to be in charge of the
- 11:44
- military now is this woman the most
- 11:46
- qualified woman to do that job of course
- 11:49
- not she's the wife of Russia's energy
- 11:53
- Minister and Putin's first cousin once
- 11:57
- removed so here's Gary Casper
- 12:00
- thoughts the circle around a dictator
- shrinks faster in a time of Crisis
- loyalty trumps all increasing paranoia
- and reducing competency as dumb and
- dangerous as Putin's terrorist Mafia
- state is now it is best to do everything
- to collapse it now before it gets even
- worse for Russians living in Exile such
- 12:24
- as Gary
- 12:26
- caspero Putin's government needs to fall
- 12:28
- Russ needs a hard reset for there to be
- 12:32
- any hope for the Russian people to live
- 12:35
- in a peaceful
- 12:36
- future Moscow confirms A50 aircraft was
- 12:40
- shot down by Ukraine the investigative
- 12:44
- Committee of the Russian Federation
- 12:45
- confirmed that the Ukrainian Air Force
- 12:48
- shot down a rare Russian
- 12:50
- A50 awax plane over the sea of azof back
- 12:54
- in February killing all 10 crew members
- 12:58
- on board
- 12:59
- this plane was worth $350
- 13:03
- million and this was 6 months ago and
- the Russians did an
- investigation initially the Russians
- denied it said it didn't happen then
- they said no they shot down their own
- plane because incompetence is better
- than admitting Ukraine has
- 13:21
- capabilities but now Russia changes
- 13:23
- their mind again and they want to In
- 13:26
- Absentia charge the commander of this
- 13:28
- area defense unit with a
- 13:31
- crime as if that's going to do
- 13:33
- anything here are some thoughts from
- 13:36
- Ukrainian journalist uh panar
- 13:39
- Reno if you ever feel ludicrous pathetic
- 13:42
- and laughable just remember that Russia
- 13:45
- once brought criminal charges against
- 13:47
- Ukrainian air defense unit commander in
- 13:51
- abena over the Downing of this
- 13:53
- A50 which Russia said never happened on
- 13:57
- the grounds that the A50 being a non-c
- 14:00
- combat aircraft that has no Weaponry on
- board and that was carrying out a flight
- exclusively within Russian
- airspace so if you count the airspace
- over zapar isia as Russian airspace and
- an awax plane because it doesn't have
- any missiles on board as a non-combat
- plane you're ridiculous
- 14:26
- Russia ukrainians captur a blot mobile
- 14:30
- Barn tank with the crew For The First
- 14:33
- Time in the West we call these turtle
- 14:36
- tanks but in Ukraine they call them blot
- 14:39
- mobiles and this looks like a fun
- 14:41
- picture of some Ukrainian Defenders
- 14:43
- capturing one of Russia's stupid turtle
- 14:46
- tanks there's a video and you can see
- 14:49
- everyone seeing this thing drive by
- 14:51
- everyone's laughing
- 15:03
- let's just watch that
- [Music]
- again the mighty Russian
- military next picture I want to share
- with you involves that nuclear submarine
- that the Russians sent to Cuba to
- threaten and intimidate the United
- States this Russian sub uh pulled into
- the port city of Havana
- but experts were staring at this Russian
- 15:32
- submarine and they noticed the submarine
- 15:35
- doesn't look that great there's acoustic
- 15:39
- paneling missing from the submarine the
- 15:42
- outside layer protects it or Shields it
- 15:44
- from sonar to make it more of a stealth
- 15:47
- sub but there's giant chunks missing
- 15:50
- from the
- 15:52
- submarine the paneling isn't necessary
- 15:54
- for the sub to run but if this thing's
- 15:57
- cruising underwater for thousands of
- 15:59
- kilometers with unnecessary drag one
- 16:04
- more paneling is going to rip off but
- two this is incredibly inefficient so
- Russia sent their submarine to Cuba to
- show strength but I mean I'm laughing at
- it this is pathetic
- Russia Putin needs allies so he's
- 16:21
- decided to go to North Korea it's always
- 16:24
- super awkward and weird when dictators
- 16:26
- get together but we don't have the
- 16:28
- pictures and videos yet this is
- 16:30
- happening this morning right now I'll
- 16:32
- share some goofy Clips I'm sure in the
- 16:35
- next
- 16:36
- video but the North Koreans and the
- 16:39
- Russians along with a Chinese delegation
- 16:42
- are talking about something pretty
- 16:44
- incredible this is a top story this is
- 16:47
- unbelievable what Russia is about to do
- 16:51
- and Russia is about to transfer to the
- 16:54
- Chinese the tuman river what is the
- 16:57
- tuman river well the Russians attacked
- 17:00
- China back in the 1800s stole a bunch of
- territory for
- them the Russians deprived the Chinese
- of access to the Sea of Japan and the
- Pacific Ocean through uh the Sea of
- okus but there is a very small way out
- for the Chinese if we zoom in North
- Korea and Russia share this very tiny
- border with a sing single rail
- 17:29
- connection there's not even a road
- 17:31
- there's no Bridge it's just a rail
- 17:34
- bridge and this is the two the tumin
- 17:37
- river so this little wedge right here
- 17:40
- this is China this is North Korea this
- 17:43
- is Russia China can't get out to the Sea
- 17:46
- of
- 17:48
- Japan this is something China
- 17:50
- wants and the Russians are willing to do
- 17:53
- it the Russians are so desperate they're
- 17:55
- going to give territorial concessions
- 17:57
- even if it's just water to the Chinese
- 18:01
- what this means is that Chinese farmers
- and Chinese Merchants from all these
- major cities they can start building
- dams and canals and uh China is going to
- widen this River they're going to dredge
- it to make it bigger and this will allow
- for commercial shipping but also for the
- Chinese military to do whatever they
- want so I'm sure the Russians don't like
- 18:25
- this plan because they're giving up
- 18:27
- territory to the Chinese
- 18:29
- I don't think the North Koreans like it
- 18:31
- either because they don't want ships and
- 18:34
- economic
- 18:36
- activity to confuse their people because
- 18:38
- their people still live in the Dark
- 18:41
- Ages but China's going to do it and this
- 18:43
- is pretty fascinating to
- 18:46
- watch China I think it would be just a
- 18:49
- lot easier if you just got back your old
- 18:51
- territory here I mean the Russians don't
- 18:53
- even look like they're using
- 18:55
- it so let's reflect on this Alliance
- 18:59
- Russia China and North Korea this is the
- 19:01
- lookout points I think from the
- Chinese oh that's the rail Bridge right
- there okay so this is the river and this
- is some kind of Lookout from the Chinese
- side this is North Korea to the South
- and Russia to the north and here's some
- fantastic commentary from an applebomb
- 19:22
- she's a American journalist and
- 19:24
- historian and she appeared on Bill
- 19:26
- Crystal's podcast I want to share this
- 19:29
- clip in its entirety the the interesting
- 19:32
- thing is we're talking about countries
- 19:34
- that do not share ideology so communist
- 19:37
- China nationalist Russia Theocratic
- 19:40
- Iran you know bolivarian socialist
- 19:43
- Venezuela you know whatever North Korea
- 19:46
- is you know these aren't these aren't
- 19:47
- countries that share an ideology or meet
- 19:50
- in some secret room where they design
- 19:52
- thing you know it's not like a James
- 19:54
- Bond movie but but they do share a
- 19:58
- common interest and the common interest
- 20:00
- is undermining us and us I mean America
- Europe the liberal world the Democratic
- World um because both because their own
- oppositions whether it's the Hong Kong
- democracy movement or whether it's the
- novaldi movement in Russia or whether
- it's the women's movement in Iran um are
- 20:18
- inspired by and use Democratic language
- 20:22
- and they use the language of freedom and
- 20:23
- liberty and and and rights and rule of
- 20:26
- law and they need to they need to
- 20:28
- undermine that language uh on behalf of
- 20:31
- their you know in order to keep Empower
- 20:33
- domestically um and because chaos and
- 20:38
- uncertainty um offer them business
- 20:41
- opportunities in the Western World um so
- 20:43
- these are a lot of these are these are
- 20:45
- very very rich people that makes them
- 20:47
- also by the way very different from
- 20:48
- autocrats of the previous Century
- 20:50
- they're very wealthy their friends are
- 20:52
- very wealthy um they like having places
- 20:54
- to hide their money in Europe um they
- 20:57
- like to have friends inside European
- 20:59
- politics who can make sure they're still
- 21:01
- able to buy whatever it is houses in
- France or on Lake Como and they and they
- you know and so they have an interest in
- shaping the debate inside the liberal
- democracies in ways that benefit them
- and increasingly they've concluded that
- what benefits them is the rise of
- 21:18
- illiberal um um disruptive and radical
- 21:22
- parties because that may you know when
- 21:24
- that happens the Western world or the
- 21:26
- the Democratic World loses its sense of
- 21:29
- community and solidarity it loses its
- 21:31
- ability to make group decisions you know
- 21:34
- if we're if we're divided by radical
- 21:36
- politics in different countries then
- 21:39
- we're not very good at standing up to
- 21:41
- them that is so
- 21:44
- fascinating so countries like China
- 21:47
- Russia Iran and North Korea they're not
- 21:49
- natural allies they don't share a common
- 21:53
- ideology the only thing they have in
- 21:55
- common is the people of those countries
- 21:58
- are prisoners you have no rights and
- 22:01
- freedoms inside of North Korea you have
- no rights and freedoms inside of Russia
- or China or Iran so the ruling Elites
- the wealthy to experience Freedom
- they've got to go to the West so they
- love getting
- rich robbing the resources of their
- states and then buying homes and Yachts
- 22:25
- and Villas in Democratic countries that
- 22:29
- protect property
- 22:30
- rights but they want to weaken democracy
- 22:34
- they want to make democracy look chaotic
- 22:36
- and incompetent so it doesn't threaten
- 22:39
- their power base at
- 22:41
- home these countries all hate each other
- 22:44
- but they're willing to work together to
- 22:47
- undermine democracy to stop women's
- 22:50
- rights lgbtq rights any kind of
- 22:54
- democratic
