Gaza Bloodshed / Zelensky's Veiled Threat to Attack Russia's Victory Parade w/Steve Jermy

Western vs. Russian Experience: Ukraine, after three years of combat, has more real-world air defense experience than Western forces. There is concern about potential losses if the West intervenes militarily, such as in Iran.

Ukraine’s Strategy and Leadership: Ukrainian President Zelensky is criticized for resisting negotiated settlements and for making potentially provocative comments, especially around Russian events like the May 9 parade. The idea that Ukraine might attack such events is seen as strategically reckless.

Sanctions on Russia: Sanctions are viewed as counterproductive, harming Europe more than Russia. The Russian economy is growing as domestic businesses replace Western ones, while European economies struggle.

Russia's Military Strategy: Contrary to Western claims that Russia isn’t progressing, the speaker argues Russia is successfully pursuing its goals—demilitarization and denazification—through attrition, not fast territorial gains. Russia is believed to be advancing slowly but effectively.

Western Perceptions: Figures like Gen. Kellogg and Fareed Zakaria are accused of misunderstanding or misrepresenting the war. The claim that Russia is not winning is seen as disconnected from the battlefield realities.

Ukraine’s Position: Zelensky’s insistence on unattainable conditions for peace is seen as delusional. The West lacks the military and political will to enforce those conditions.

Negotiation Realities: It’s suggested that Russia, having the upper hand, will set the terms of any future peace. A 30-day unconditional ceasefire demanded by Ukraine is rejected by Russia, as shown in a recent statement from Sergey Lavrov.
