14:12. Israel has a huge influential lobbying group 💰💰. Many people don't like seeing Congress purchased by outside forces.
Exactly
I understand the geopolitical argument but I do suspect that the lobbyists are primarily people of Jewish faith in influential positions and that's the problem - it's disproportionate influence!
A fifth column that has infiltrated our organs of state, and must be expunged.
zionist state capture is a thing
Ukraine has support in the US. Not Because of lobbyists, but because it’s the right thing to do
Ukrain is not defended the same way Isreal is because of the long time work of the Isreal lobby...what your seeing in terms of American military support to Isreal is the direct result of decades of successful lobbying on Isreal's behalf.
Not just lobbying but donations. AIPAC in particular has donated millions to Congressmen and Senators on both sides. I think it was Democracy Now that showed the list and how much they had received. Just six including Bernie Sanders hadn’t taken any money off them.
Same in UK. Tories have several big donors with Israeli influence and Labours biggest donor (£5M) Sunak has investments there.
Rather explains the disparity and why both out parties are being less than critical of Israel.
It's not defended that way because there simply aren't the assets. Even if there was the political desire, which there clearly isn't. 😮
Israel is a Strategic country for America's Middle East interests ⚔️🇺🇸🤝🇺🇦✌️🥰
Israel is a country completely surrounded by people who want to destroy them.
Israel has rightly created a well planned extremely well funded tried and tested defense.
Over decades.
America just helps.
@@user-zm4qd4yr3t How many Israeli soldiers died alongside Americans in the Iraq war? When has Israel fought for America? It seems like only America fights for Israel and never the other way around. America sends billions to Israel and in return Israel brings the Middle East closer to war.
The political system in UK is rotten 😂😂😂
Поэтому они стараются испортить воздух и в других странах.
No surprise then!

That beginning section of the Telegraph post sounds increasingly unrelated to reality...
Don't talk too soon.
Its FARRRR from over.
Yeah they need to ditch Sunak.
The reality is that Russia is advancing everyday
@@thiefsleef6752 not for long. RuZZia cannot maintain these losses. We all know Ruzzian economy is tanking.
While listening to this podcast I can't help but think of a victim of a thug in a street fight reading out the Queensbury Rules to the assailant. I think Dom gets it.
Like the thugs in the Azov battalion?
@@Dave-gy5mvlike the thugs in Wagner and the Z army.
@@Dave-gy5mvlike the Moscow butcher and it's gang of murdering thugs?
Wait... I thought Russia is running out of ammo
Well they're definitely not shooting as much artillery as they use to, but that doesn't mean they're running out of ammo. However they are running relatively low on vehicles which is why they're attacking with increasingly fewer armored vehicles and taking many more casualties.
@@UzumakiNaruto_ Bro everybody is attacking with fewer vehicles because there are drones and mines everywhere plus accurate artillery, and accurate ATGMs.
@@LutherusPXCs
Sure that's partly the reason, but the fact is Russia is burning through its Cold War era stock of armored vehicles and they can't keep the rate of loss going on forever. Its why their attacks these days are so costly and are moving forward so slowly.
Even if they could achieve a breakthrough in the Ukrainian lines, it seems unlikely that they'd be able to exploit it in any large way. If the west weren't such pansies they'd be sending the Ukrainians a ton more supplies and weapons and stop the Russians for good from moving forward and even push them back.
By now russia has ramped up production. Try to keep up 😂
Bro, Russia produces three times more shells than all of NATO, bro🙃
This analysis is completely inept.
But such a rich source of Hopium.
This is like listening to German radio after Stalingrad
Be truthful. Over #340 drones and cruise. #120 huge Balistic. The size of blue Whales. 6 to 7% made it through. Iron dome is not made for that. That's why they borrowed the Arrow system
Yeah, never mind the fact that the situation between Russia and Ukraine is completely different from that of Iran and Israel irregardless of nuclear weapons...
Well here comes nuclear build up again!!!
So far only listened to first 40 minutes but this is an outstanding episode. Dom's central piece and Francis's first and last about the Chinese academic. Dom is spot on about the double standards evident in the allies' response to Israel and Ukraine. A superb episode.
That was a good point but they did also talk about the nuclear deterrent as if it is a revelation, suggested NATO intervention along with 'calling Putins nuclear bluff' , definitely things people say when they feel very safe and very far away
🤣
These volunteers are so inspiring. It gives us hope for the future. We need to hear more of these stories, especially at this critical moment when our Western leaders seem so cowardly.
Volunteers? C'mon man, be straight. They're MERCENARIES.
I wonder if they joined the SSpecial Azov battalion.
🇮🇱🇺🇦 "To protect Israel, which is not a NATO member, Western countries did not need Article 5 of the Alliance. The same is possible in relation to Ukraine - political will is needed", - Zelensky

I suppose that in his fervid dreams, Ukraine is as important as Israel.
@@williammorris584what does fervid mean ? Ukraine is probably a lot more important because it is threatening Europe and Russia has nuclear.
@@williammorris584 there about as important as u r and that's not important 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@williammorris584 It's food production feeds many developing nations. I would argue it's actually more important than Israel.
How many French casualties this week, so far?
Dom and Francis are the sharpest pencils in the box.
In a box of pens.
I completely agree with Dom's final words. The sudden rush to rescue Israel from the repercussions of their own attack on Iran/Syria is sickening when compared to the failure to do the same for Ukraine, who did not provoke an invasion in any way. It just makes me sick.
The Biden administration is 81% jewish in a nation where they represent 2% of the population.
Ukraine started it
Well maybe if 55% of billionaires were Ukrainian, the US would rush to help them
@@lanonstop3522nonsense.
Leadership is weak in the West
No excuse why Mike Johnson does not allow vote on aid needed for Ukraine and Israel. No more changes and delays. Johnson needs to do his job.
Giving money to foreigners is not his job.
Call your senators and reps and ask them to pass Ukraine aid!
@@mitchyoung93 it is if they're Israeli
No excuse for Brits and Ukrainians meddling in American politics
Nor for Americans to be the tools and dupes of favored foreign nations. I don't care how much Hunter was kicking back to the Big Guy! #washingtonsfarewelladdress
Defending democracy and upholding the international rule of law is almost the whole reason of western politics and our institutions.@@mitchyoung93
But everyone told me russia was losing and ukraine was winning?
Dom. A question. Who is attacking the ZPP ?
Reality is hard and harsh! Does not care about your misinformation, feelings or believes.
I'm so furious that Mike Johnson won't do his job.
Absolutely 💯
Protecting US taxpayers is his job.
Putin has bought him off perhaps.
@@mitchyoung93 then he isn't doing his job
Mike is doing his job. He works for Putin and gets his directions via mar a Lago.
Russia needs to show China that they can invade Taiwan because the US Congress can get derailed on command.
seems to me it's pretty dumb not tot take seriously the nuclear threat.
A jingle for Francis. Can I suggest the theme from Allo Allo. 😁
The West needs to take this war and it's complications, much more seriously.
🙄
the west should stop the war. should stop lying, should stop killing, should go home and stop annoying other countries. But the problem is the west is just bandits, so can't go home, otherwise they just die.
That's just not any Pilot. I know who that is. He's a retired fighter Pilot!
Comparing the air defense of a tiny country like Israel, facing long distance missiles from far away in Iran to a giant territory, like Ukraine with missiles right on the border is absurd. The interceptions in Israel do not prove anything regarding Ukraine. It is definitely apples and oranges. That doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be more anti-missile systems. It just means that it is an unfair and logical comparison.
On the other side there is a YT chanel called warthog defense which posts vids every day and telling that UA is winning each day 🤣
THE ALLIES NEED TO GROW SOME BALLS AND STAND UP TO THE THUG
Too soft
They have and it's nearly over.
Russian artillery destroyed a platoon of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) in Chasiv Yar located in the Donetsk region on Tuesday, RIA Novosti reported, citing the country's Ministry of Defense.
Russian artillery crews, manning the BM-21 "Grad" multiple rocket launcher neutralized "up to a platoon" of the AFU whilst also managing to destroy a command post in the city.
The report provided no detailed information regarding the number of AFU casualties.
'It's only a fleshwound!'
"The walls are closing in" as they say on CNN and MSDNC.
I picture Francis donning a beret as he delivers his French story.
SLAVA UKRAINI from the United States
From the United States, WE DO NOT CARE about Ukraine. Hunter Biden loves Ukrainian women, as do many others. But we do not care how badly Russia spanks Ukraine. Germans got spanked earlier, so badly that they because subservient to USA since then. Ukraine is learning a lesson. They asked for it
Despite the mixed messaging coming out of France, If I was the owner of a beret, I'd be currently sitting on mine!
@@puntuated7647and farting constantly I hope.
That pilot has a YT page. He's a retired fighter pilot. He's going to fly F-16's
From what airfield? 🧐
Excuse me, is this a broadcasting from radio Berlin late 1944?
I see the ukrainian bots are out in strength again in the comments..😁
I'd love to be a fly on the wall the day reality hits. 😅
To suggest that Putin does not have overwhelming public support is absurd.
The election results are a fair reflection of the reality.
Like it or not.
When all your opponents are either dead or suppressed its pretty easy to win an election.
Clearly a bot comment
@@myjourneythistime clearly. Fool
Levada , a Western funded pollster and listed as a foreign agent in Russia, has been consistently producing popularity stats of 85% for Vladimir Putin right up to the period before election.
@terryross2388 Putin did not rig the election. He did not need to. It's also clear that coverage of the war by Russian sites is far more accurate than anti Russian sites. Why? Because lies and disinformation are the resort of the losing side. The victor has it easy.
It took Washington almost two years to get 31 tanks in order just to have them destroyed in a matter of weeks. F-16 is probably in the desert waiting for engines and accessories.
Russia doesn't need any help. Russia helps other countries by purchasing commodities not really needed by Russia. Russia has lots of money.
Justice freedom and peace for the Palestinian people. Protect evidence and bring on the war crimes trials.
Can we just pass forward to tomorrow
The lies are finally catching up.
the truth is starting to trickle out - get prepared for the emotional onslaught...
Nobody talking about Canada’s illegal annexation of Hans Island!!??
On 11 June 2022, the Danish, Greenlandic, Canadian, and Nunavut governments agreed to split Hans Island in half after 17 years of negotiations.[32][33] On 14 June 2022, Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly, Danish foreign affairs minister Jeppe Kofod, and prime minister of Greenland Múte Bourup Egede signed an agreement to divide the island nearly in half along a natural fault line.[34] The treaty will take effect after the Folketing (Parliament of Denmark), the Inatsisartut (Parliament of Greenland) have each voted to ratify it.[35] By this, Canada and the Danish Realm, through Greenland, will have an international land border of 1,280 m (4,200 ft), which follows a rift, forming a half circle with the westernmost part around the middle, in the surface of the island that runs from north to south near the centre of the island.
>>>>The agreement was cited as an example of a peaceful resolution to a border conflict shortly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
RIP anyone listening on headphones @ 1:40...
Ukraina isnt it enough now, take up the negotiations Boris Johnson stopped in Istanbul almost two years ago.
The reasons that fighter jets from allies shot down drones over Israel but not Ukraine are very simple as I see it. Israel is very small and allied jets can operate in Mediterranean, Israeli, and Jordanian airspace to shoot down drones. Most importantly, there is NO ENEMY AIR FORCE when these allied jets go into action. There's really not even enemy air defense. In Ukraine all of these conditions are the opposite. The suggestion that they shoot down drones fired from Crimea from Black Sea airspace is closest to reality, but is still wildly reckless and likely to lead to direct air combat. It would mean direct involvement of NATO forces in the battlefield.
But The Telegraph was telling me that Russia was busy losing the war because "Abrams tanks"?
USA lost over 10,000 aircraft in Vietnam.
Western media narrative - Russia targeting civilians kills 96 in a year while Israel goes out of its way to prevent civilians deaths kills 30,000 in 6 months . The rest of the world 😂😂
To be fair they are allowed to play god
They hold western media in a chokehold so there will never be fair reporting on their crimes. We are lucky that we still have places we can go and exchange information on the internet. Because of that we are able to spot patterns and identify predators.
This has been the best episode so far. All points made and every person’s individual perception have been fair and true. Thanks for all your hard work and great content.
Sirsky has been Ukrainian forces commander since February this year.
Interesting analysis coming from a Chinese Professor who's a Russian expert and believes Russia cannot win. He lays out four main points that leads him to this conclusion. This has been reported on several youtube channels but it's in line with what many Western analysts have said.
Yes, there were actually 2 chinese analysts that signed off on that. The second was from the former Chinese ambassador to Ukraine, Gao Yusheng.
Yes I wonder what happens to this guy now. Assuming they have Russia operatives in China. Not sure that Xi will be too happy either.
Yes, but how many people have to die while the GOP drags its feet.
@@stream2watch ...and that was in May 2022
Russia expert: They can't win. 2 years later Russia wins.
Zelenski is the worse thing that's ever happened to the Ukraine.
No Victoria Nuland is
It is sickening to see that the same aid from allies to Israeli skies does not apply to Ukraine. The aggressor axis is the same and so is the danger of escalating! Unfortunately with this help there is no need for Mike Johnson to put the military aid to a vote in the American Congress. Despite the misfortunes, Slava Ukraini!
PUTIN HAS ALREADY MADE HIS PLANS.SO IN THE MEANTIME PUTIN WILL WHATEVER HE WANTS.GROW SOME BALLS TO THE ALLIES
The Ukraine was in the process of receiving sovereignty. They failed miserably.
The US has had carte blanch for far too long .
A short range Russian missile is 500 kilometers...unless it is GRAD.
"License to engage in protest", such an UnAmerican sentiment.
When Zelenski speaks i skip the video ahead.
Has Crimea Beach Party been postponed again? 😕
This war was over 2 years ago. Ukraine never had any realistic chance of anything resembling a win in this conflict the day that US said no they won't send their troops in to help. Despite all of the US promises to send help Ukraine was hung out to dry right from the start. All those dead, an area larger than the UK fone forever, a ruined economy that will take a century to recover, and all for nothing. Just a stupid, meaningless, pointless waste.
The Ukraine has virtually zero air defense. Only Kiev has air defense.
This is hilarious!
The turtle must be a chinese tank. Most likely a Ukrainian idea.
Isn’t any of the aid from other allies helping at all?
I think the problem is the Europeans expect to get invaded next?
No
...''Betrayal'' was exactly the correct word Francis. It truly makes me think why Ukraine would consider joining NATO. It's moot anyway because the west only wants Ukraine to contain Russia and NOT defeat it. So as long as Ukraine is in a hot or frozen conflict, NATO accession is all but impossible.
They will never join NATO.
They will be left a rump state. The conflict is done bar the shouting. There is no longer even the ability to freeze it.
The sooner sanity gets back in the room and diplomacy (that would've ended this almost as soon as it went hot) is resumed the better.
I strongly recommend this podcast.
As nostalgic British propaganda. UK has a Indian Hindoooo PM, a Pakistani Muslim Mayor of London... UK should be kowtowing to India. But some 'white' people in UK live in the old days when UK mattered. They all work in Telegraph😅
When I want to compare the chasm between what they say and reality I find it invaluable.
usa, american dream has gone though, unless your dream is to simply reside in usa. I've nothing agaisnt american people, and it is easy to fall in love with usa it's only life is tough there too right now.
Raith white flag comedian zelensky..it's Over😅😅😅😅
Eventually USA will have to leave Germany, and Poland, etc.
Dream on 😂
"free and fair Presidential elections in Russia" lol
I’m not sure Francis. A moment of peace could be in Ukraine’s favor. Their troops need a break. Few of them are dying, so a pause could be physical and mentally useful. IF an aid package come through, the timing is good for the Ukrainians to re-stock and train.
Fewer…
Russia wont fall for this western peace ruse again, they learned from peace lies of the west.
MARŠ ! Glory for RUSIJA and Putin !
💪🇷🇺🇮🇷
Best podcast. Keep reporting, Ukraine will prevail in the end. Aid package will get approved this week. Everyone needs to get behind Ukraine, last chance.

Brigade sized units are disbanding and surrendering en masse, but elderly readers of the Telegraph, comfortable in their slippers and cardigans, think that if only the collective West pulled their heads from their backsides, they'd deliver a blank check to Zelensky and with his gravitas and an army of old men, young boys and pregnant women he'd stop all that is happening now.
They were hoping it would be like three days but that didn't pan out.

Neither US nor Europe is afraid of Russia. It’s just placation of the public while they assist Putin to destroy Ukraine.
