But we know that contractors are going to get killed if those guys are wearing fatigues But not government issued and their boots on the ground and they have weapons in their hands or at the other end of their computers They’re fair game. Oh Absolutely. That’s not what I’m talking about I’m talking about potential attacks on our satellites in space as well as attacks on aircraft manned or unmanned that are part of this intelligence surveillance reconnaissance complex because that’s That’s really at heart of what what keeps the Ukrainians even in the game, right? There’s not much left on the ground as far as an army is concerned.
That’s been ruins the class week. They lost 13,000 men This is the sort of thing that happens at the end of a war when the what an army is collapsing and retreating That’s when most of the damage occurs you lose more people during a retreat than you do in a stand-up battle So this is effectively over on the ground. I’m sure the Russians will advance when they feel comfortable doing so The real question is how much damage do they do to what I just described to our? intelligence surveillance reconnaissance complex I hope that people are more thoughtful than they’ve been thus far and will keep at least our manned aircraft out of range But as the Russians advance towards the west towards that river They’ll be able to take more and more things under fire and destroy them.
That’s that’s the concern that I have Switching gears to Israel. Here’s a prime minister Netingya who’s latest I won’t even characterize it other than by saying he has a Catalog of countries in there that he believes will soon be at war and it blames everybody but Israel This is just about an hour old It’s a cliff kernel. So we’ll play it for you. It’s a little bit longer than a minute. I’d love your thoughts on it and Iran is Finding us on a seven-front war Obviously Hamas Hezbollah Hooties the militias in Iraq and Syria To do Samaria West Bank Iran itself they’d like to topple Jordan and their goal is to have a Combined ground offensive from various fronts coupled with a combined missile Bombardment we we have to we’ve been given the opportunity to scuttle it and we will The first requirement is to cut that hand Hamas People who do this thing to us are not going to be there We’ll have a long battle.
I don’t think it’s that long but We’ll get rid of them. We also have to deter the other elements of the Iran terror axis But we have to deal with the axis the axis doesn’t threaten only us threatens you It’s it’s on the march to conquer the Middle East Conquered the Middle East Conquered that means actually conquer conquer Saudi Arabia conquer the Arabian Peninsula Just a question of time And what’s standing in their way is the small Satan? That’s us on the road to the middle-sized Satan’s that’s the Europeans.
They’re always offended when I tell them that you’re the great Satan We have to stop them I Don’t know what to make of that Colonel, what do you think? He’s beginning to sound like a hab in Moby Dick He’s on a doomed whale hunt. He’s beginning to see enemies everywhere, right? I doesn’t seem to understand that he’s precipitated the emergence of this coalition against him It’s his actions as the Israeli offensive that’s being launched in a month against a moss Now the very high probability that they will attack Hezbollah that is convincing everyone in the region to turn against him The Saudis like the other ruling elites in the Arab world right now are very concerned about being removed by their own people Because the populations are enraged.
This is certainly true in Jordan. I think King Abdullah is hanging on by his fingernails He’s got millions of Palestinians in his country that are appalled at what’s being done to their fellow Palestinians on the other side of the Jordan River You’ve got General Sisi who is apoplectic we have been bribing him willing to forgive his 180 billion dollar debt national sovereign debt in return for taking in The Palestinian Arabs that are being driven out of the Gaza He’s he’s incapable of doing it. He understands that if he does that He’s going to be seen as a traitor to his own people and that’s that’s a pretty good description of the way many Egyptians feel about him at this point Everything is coming apart in the region And as you point out he’s blaming it on everything and everybody but himself And the actions of his own country and it’s very interesting when he he attributes this desire By the Iranians to conquer the region.
The Iranians are not equipped to conquer anything They can’t project their own military power very far at all They they build up the arsenal of rockets and missiles much like Hezbollah for the same reason to deter the Israelis But they can’t march into anything and conquer anything So the only people in the region who are capable of conquering very much right now, at least their neighbors is Israel And they are viewed as the waging this war for Jewish supremacy in the region it’s entertaining to listen to his description as once again the permanent victim and that is That’s something that he keeps insisting is the case That he and Israel together are permanent victims But right now the rest of the region and the rest of the islamic world sees them As the offending force they see their own people being murdered And and turned into victims.
They they don’t agree with the israeli Assessment and we are standing behind Israel continuing to provide unconditional support For whatever mr. Netanyahu wants to do and unfortunately at this point, it seems to be a willingness to destroy the entire region In the meantime phil geraldi reports from a source that the israelis have used phosphorous to destroy an entire village of people in lebanon I wonder if we paid for it. I wonder if we supplied it Well, we do have white phosphorus In our inventory normally we use it to mark a target As opposed to burn down a village, but it can be used for that purpose white phosphorus is terrible I mean i’ve seen people with holes in their arms where a very small droplet of white phosphorus fell on on a Soldier’s arm and you could literally see right through the arm.
There was oh the thing was the arm was melted in many in much In most respects it’s a horrible weapon So I can understand Why people would be horrified by that? But at this point if you’re an israeli you take the position you are the permanent victim The world is against you and anything you do to anyone who is your enemy is justified I mean this is this was surprising to me to listen to the former chief of defense and israel benny gonce Make the comment that well, we haven’t been able to destroy hamas But we think we can destroy his balaz capabilities in the space of a few days.
Isn’t that absurd? The only way that could happen is with the use of tactical nuclear weapons
