>> Person you saw in that video is
Urick Cot leader of the, described as pro Russian.
I hate when people use that sort of term, Paris movement talking about,
if this now Ukrainian controlled in terms of the operation.
But Russian controlled in terms of the territory nuclear plant, if it is damaged
then what Russia should do is immediately nuke London and DC or maybe New York.
It depends on which state media broadcast that determines which us city is going to
be nuked.
Interestingly that is maybe the first time that I've seen someone on one of these
programs on Russian State TV immediately respond with, well, but
then they would nuke us.
So maybe let's not do that.
And I consider that to be progress on Russian state TV.
It's easy for your cut to be like, I think we should nuke everybody and
then forget that then they would be nuked.
It's a bad thing for anyone, let's not do it.
But bold statements aside from Russian State TV,
we are in a very tense situation in terms of this particular nuclear power plant.
Let's see, they've been threatening and not just state media but generals and
stuff have been threatening to bomb it if necessary.
The head of Russia's nuclear, biological and chemical protection troops apparently
claim that they mined it and they're ready to blow it up if they have to.
Saying, there will be either Russian land or a scorched desert.
The enemy knows that the station will be either Russian's or no one's.
We are ready for the consequences of this step,
which would of course be nuclear debris and nuclear, like the fumes and
the fallout and all that going all over potentially Europe and Russia.
Let alone if that leads other countries to either escalate the traditional war or
use weapons of mass destruction including nuclear weapons.
It's an insane thing to do particularly because it's super clear who has actually
been threatening this power plant.
It is, again, disputed each side saying the other is accidentally hitting
it with RPGS and things like that.
But we are once again in that part of the conflict where people are openly talking
about nuclear war once again.
>> Cuz that's where I guess the leaders of the world like to push these types
of things.
Again look and tons and
tons of people's absolute existence rests in the hands of folks that talk like this.
They say things like this and it's not just Russians,
we see how Donald Trump likes to talk and
the types of things he likes to declare and types of threats he likes to make.
And look, I saw this as a headline, I wanted to have a chance to read it before,
I really dug deeper, but it made some sense and I hadn't even thought about it.
But someone else is saying all of the unrest and the battles and
specifically now as Donald Trump gets investigated to a further extent.
And then the response coming from so
many folks that support him based off of nothing.
There's many opportunities for people to say, look at the imbalance,
look at the fragile nature of this democracy happening over here where
everyone has always touted it.
And look, there's openings there.
Look now you can trust us.
Hey, you never know what they're gonna do.
Hey, look how they've gone after this guy, whatever the support lands for
folks politically, this spreads further than just Donald Trump.
But people are dead set on just the Donald Trump thing.
And now look, we've got folks in other countries like this talking about, hey,
if this happens,
again, off of this conflict that everyone was talking about a few months ago.
And now no one is even paying much attention to at least from our point of
view over here in America with our politics, then,
what's the consequences then later?
And I'm not saying the Russians coming to get us or any of those types of things,
but there's this perception of America has always been the thing that floats us past
so many types of conflicts.
And if that perception is off, we might have more conflicts.
>> Yeah 100%.
Yeah, I thought it was important that we talk about this just because it's been
some time since the Ukraine conflict was really like front page news, but
it's continuing, people are dying constantly.
I think the estimate of just Russian losses,
like 300 casualties a day still, this is still very significant.
And we've gotten past some difficult times, but
that doesn't mean that this is not gonna escalate.
