The World is Turning on Ukraine | The End of Russia's War.

now we gotta talk about Ukraine how much

money has been spent are sanctions

working who's really supporting Ukraine

how much money has the United States

spent on Ukraine what does the world

think what is the world doing what's

going on with Ukraine now this is a big

deal because obviously we've got an

election cycle coming up in 2024 and a

lot in my opinion is going to have to do

with Ukraine so you've got to know about

it not only do you have to know about it

because it's going to be part of our

election cycle obviously there's a

massive amount of loss of life which is

terrible happening as well but we have

to be aware of what the implications

could be for the ending of the war or

the continuation of the war in Ukraine

so first it's worth remembering that Joe

Biden at the beginning of this war

talked about how Joe how uh Vladimir

Putin could not stay in power after his

invasion into Ukraine and initially

there was worldwide support for

basically beating Russia potentially

going as far as calling for regime

change in Russia maybe even as far as

the assassination of Vladimir Putin yet

what's happening recently is almost the

complete opposite in fact now according

to the Wall Street Journal a massive

piece they just released the French and

German government realized that the best

solution is not trying to defeat Russia

but it is rather to push for peace talks

in Russia now so far Olaf Schultz the

chancellor of the Germany Deutschland

and Joe Biden have showed publicly a

very United

front against Russia and they've

publicly been promising massive amounts

of either monetary or military support

for Ukraine however in private France

and Germany some of the biggest players

in the EU block are starting to push for

negotiated end in Russia that's because

initially Russia seemed very isolated

only four countries initially backed

Russia in their incursion into Ukraine

however many more countries are now

moving to a very neutral stance viewing

this as really a Regional Conference or

a conflict that may continue for a while

into the future and the world is really

becoming much more fragmented see

initially the world seemed very United

in the number of sanctions that were

going to help block semiconductors and

aircrafts and even Automotive Parts

getting to Russia however those

sanctions haven't really devastated

Russia as much as we had thought they

would would mostly because guess what

countries like Kazakhstan China and

turkey or Kazakhstan Kazakhstan whatever

however you want to say it sorry for my

mispronunciation here uh are starting to

make up the difference and the shortfall

and that's because the world is starting

to flip around sanctions take a look at

this look at this particular chart here

from Bloomberg chip exports to Russia

soar Russia is sourcing more

semiconductors through third countries

in Kazakhstan turkey and Serbia look at

the inflection point the inflection

point if we draw this right here here

and here we're all the beginning of the

war so while at the beginning of the war

we didn't actually see a lot of

countries Provide support or chips to

Russia now all of a sudden Russia is

filling up the gap of chips that they

were originally getting from the United

States

from other countries in other words

other countries are realizing wait a

minute if we can import the American

semiconductors and just re-export them

for a premium to Russia why would we not

take that potential profit and that's

exactly what's happening because the

world is thinking wait a minute there's

money to be made here and ultimately we

need to think about our own country

rather than every other country's

desires and right now American sanctions

and European sanctions are really being

seen as the desire of NATO but not every

country necessarily agrees with that

Russia's chip imports from the United

States fell from about 163 billion

dollars to sorry 163 million dollars

it's not that high it's not in billions

million dollars to about 60 million

dollars but now the rest of the world is

starting to make up that Gap by

importing U.S and european-made ships

and then just re-exporting them to

Russia the same is being done with cars

look at what China is doing initially

Russians have their own vehicles and

their own automative Parts but now

what's happening Chinese passenger

vehicles are replacing Russia's supply

chain Gap because it's profitable to do

so North Korea is sending artillery

shells to arm Russia because it's

profitable to do so Iran is providing

Kamikaze drones and is planning on

building a multi-billion dollar Factory

to manufacture Kamikaze drones outside

of Moscow

to help the war effort because it is

profitable for Iran to do so now Russia

still lacks higher Tech equipment like

Precision missile missiles night vision

goggles surveillance drones are lacking

but what's happening more and more

countries are filling in the gap

India remains pretty neutral because on

one hand they're trying to attract

investment into India from companies

like apple and Tesla who are moving from

China to potentially India or are

considering adding fabrication

capabilities in India while at the same

time India is also helping Supply Russia

with equipment that they're exporting to

Russia and also at the same time

importing Russian oil which Russian oil

sanctions have been nearly a complete

abject failure see back in the pre-World

War II days sanctions actually meant

something we could actually sanction a

company and they would have an impact

yet today what do we have well we have

individuals like an analyst Mr Paul

Sankey Paul Sankey he works at senki

research he's an oil analyst and what

does he say he says quote the oil price

caps and the sanctions against Russia

were quote invented by bureaucrats with

Finance degrees none of them really

understand oil markets

the sanctions against Russia from oil

for oil have been quote a total bomb a

complete failure so in other words the

world is basically just adapting to a

world at war or rather Russia at war

with Ukraine and now we have to also ask

ourselves

how much is Russia really capable of

doing well so far Russia is capable of

fighting in Crimea and Southeast Ukraine

that's it Russia hasn't been able to get

much further now sure it could be argued

that the reason they haven't been able

to get much further is because of

Western support but whatever the reason

is Russia who you know you've got a lot

of folks in America clamoring about

saying oh my gosh Russia is a nuclear

threat oh no Russia is going to attack

the United States in Western Europe uh

uh oh no we're screwed if we don't

defeat Russia all of Russia so far has

not been able to get any further than

Southeastern Ukraine and Crimea Ukraine

which this is not a slam on Ukraine this

is just this is just I mean Google it

yourself Ukraine has one of the it's

probably actually has the worst

corruption rating in Europe and one of

the poorest countries in Europe that is

not a bag on Ukraine it's just to say

a country that is rated at that level

is having is basically holding off

Russia

so how much of a threat really is Russia

when we think about it that way are they

really a nuclear Loose Cannon so it's

worth thinking about that because so far

as much as we want the conflict to end

and I'm a big fan of this conflict being

over

this idea that oh we're about to go into

a world war three seems a little extreme

because if world war three is starting

with we can't really chop away

Southeastern Ukraine then World War III

is is not like

a World War it's a regionalized conflict

now that's important to consider and

again it's not to say that Ukrainian

sovereignty shouldn't be respected but

it is an argument that

Russia's not doing so fantastically well

enough to really create concerns for

World War III and Ukraine isn't able to

get him out of Southeast Ukraine so the

reality is this is probably going to

drag on until the money dries up on one

side and ultimately there's a negotiated

settlement that's probably the way

things are leaning right now and that's

probably why you're seeing a lot of

countries become a lot more neutral on

this consider Dubai is a hub now for

Russians where Western sanctions can't

reach people in Dubai part of the United

Arab Emirates half of African countries

are abstaining from denouncing at the

United Nations Russia's incursion into

Ukraine Colombia recently refused A

United States request to provide weapons

to Ukraine by arguing quote we will not

help prolong any War Brazil makes the

argument that quote if one does not want

to two cannot fight

now we can have a whole separate video

on that argument because obviously the

Ukrainian argument is here hey we're

being invaded we're being forced to

fight but it shows you that not every

country is saying hey this is something

we really need to heavily focus on and

countries are starting to focus on

themselves

for example Hungary was the one EU

country

basically delaying and standing in the

way of a certain EU decisions that

require unanimous consent in fighting

Russia in helping a non-uh a non-nato

member Ukraine

and so Hungary is even standing in the

way of of some of this United fight

against Russia now you do have the U.S

Germany France Italy and UK who seem

staunchly behind Ukraine but Russia is

also getting a lot of dare I say neutral

or blatant support from countries around

other parts of the world whether those

are African countries Middle Eastern

countries or Asian countries

so it feels like you're kind of creating

a cataclysm of sort of two uh axes if

you will of of a potential World War but

really most countries seem to be looking

at this as what it right now is a

regional conflict making people question

their heads or or scratch their heads on

how much do we really want to be

involved in this

and so this is where we have to look at

the charts and the amount of money

that's being spent to support

Ukraine where is most of the money

coming from take a look at this you

ready for this this is a chart that show

from the Council of foreign relations

this is a chart that shows U.S Aid to

Ukraine far exceeds that

from other countries

look at this military aid to Ukraine

over 46 billion dollars from the United

States where is the military aid from EU

institutions oh it's basically zero

now there is military aid from the

United Kingdom Germany Canada Poland

France the Netherlands Norway

but look how small the highest one is

somewhere around six billion dollars

from the United from the United Kingdom

we're at 46 billion now yes we are a

larger economy but we're also not in

Europe

look at the countries within Europe that

are that are supporting uh or sending

the most amount of money as a percentage

of GDP so now this is useful because it

shows you as a percentage of GDP who's

spending more money and in this case

Estonia Latvia Lithuania and Poland are

spending the most amount of money as a

percentage of GDP to fight off Russia

now that makes a lot of sense because

those are the countries that are

potentially most at risk of Russia being

on their doorstep more than they already

are so that makes sense but again it

shows you how regionalized this conflict

is even Germany who's Olaf Schultz you

know slams his fists on the tables going

hey come on Spain come on Poland you all

said you're gonna send tanks to Ukraine

where are they and then you get

countries like Portugal saying yeah we

don't know if our tanks actually work

we'll send refurbed ones but we we don't

know if the stuff we have actually

functions you can't make this stuff up

that's literally what's happening but

shows you that obviously the countries

that are putting most of the money into

this are ones most closely potentially

affected by what appears right now to be

a very regional conflict and again I

want to make it clear I denounce the

loss of life especially innocent life

men women and children who have nothing

to do with the war effort losing their

lives is not fair it's terrible it's a

travesty it's a tragedy I I can't

stand to even uh think about how

horrible it is the atrocities that are

happening the fact is that's true on

both sides

you know people are losing their sons

and daughters in this war and I can

never imagine that having two children I

I can't imagine it so it's terrible but

the point is look at where the money is

coming from

76.8 billion dollars of aid

going to Ukraine from the United States

this is a massive amount of money the

United States has sent to Ukraine look

at how it breaks down

46.6 billion dollars are going into the

military

18.3 into security assistance which

includes training equipment weapons

Logistics support and other assistance

provided through the Ukraine security

assistance initiative

23.5 billion dollars going to weapons

and equipment

4.7 going to Grants and loans for

weapons and equipment

26.4 billion dollars going directly into

economic support loans and other

financial support so they can maintain

their government

humanitarian Aid at 3.9 billion dollars

for food Healthcare Refugee support in

other words

passive amount of money flowing into

Ukraine here is the Arsenal that is

going into Ukraine from the United

States

8 500 javelins

1600 stingers 13 000 grenade launchers

and small bombs uh Small Arms 75 000

sets of body armor

one Patriot air defense system I'm not

going to read all this 20-manned

aircraft uh well 20 M1 uh sorry Mi 17

helicopters uh 700 switchblade drones an

1800 ghost drones 15 surveillance drones

109 Bradley tanks 1700 Humvees satellite

services radar communication Services 16

160 rather howitzers 155 millimeter

howitzers 38 High Mars systems I mean

this is a massive amount of stuff like I

would be wetting myself if I was like

Lockheed Martin and uh you know part of

the military industrial complex right

now because I'm like dude I gotta make

more

and that's kind of exactly what's

happening the military industrial

complex is salivating over this because

there's so much of a backlog that is

being uh created for these uh for the

military manufacturers to continue

Manufacturing

but in a weird way

maybe not a weird way actually the world

is seeming to come to terms with this

idea that this regional conflict is

likely to go on for a while and

according to Foreign Affairs magazine

that might be exactly what Putin's plan

is how long can he last

and get to maybe the 2024 elections

where then you end up having a

politically unpopular War

start really coming up for discussion in

European elections and American

elections or otherwise that could

potentially slow the tap of funding you

already have Republicans including

Donald Trump saying they want to limit

the Department of Defense spending to

limit the amount of money that is being

sent

to Ukraine

so the political unpopularity of sending

money to Ukraine is already building up

Putin just has to Outlast the money

supply and that might be the strategy

he is implementing especially since you

have

dare I say a near apologist for the

military-industrial complex CNN

okay and look I get it CNN has as one

narrative okay we know that

and they are nearly an apologist for the

military-industrial complex

this is a company that I personally had

to send a cease and desist letter to

when they censored my Governor campaign

for governor of California I came in

second out of recall candidates okay

they chose to prop up their governor

they were censoring my campaign

we almost sued them anyway

even CNN who basically is nearly an

apologist

for the Biden Administration they say

the U.S has quote few ways to track the

substantial supply of anti-tank

anti-accura aircraft and other Weaponry

it has sent into Ukraine

in other words we have no idea where all

of the stuff the equipment we are

sending to Ukraine is going

it's time to start buying some Apple Air

tags and attaching them to multi-million

dollar pieces of equipment you think a

four pack of 99 of Apple Air tags

could actually give us some Intel on

where this equipment is going

but apparently that's not a priority it

is not a priority to use a 25 Apple Air

tag on a multi-million dollar piece of

equipment so we can know where the hell

it is and see if it's falling into the

wrong hands because for some reason that

is too complicated for the government to

orchestrate because after all quote in

the fog of War weapons drop into a big

black hole you'll almost have no sense

of where the weapons go after a short

period of time

that is literally what the United States

government says as an excuse to why we

don't track all of the weapons that go

into Ukraine especially expensive stuff

it's uh well it's the fog of War this is

just how things are done now look I get

it

a lot of the weapons that go into

Ukraine are picked up in Poland they're

picked up on certain trucks in Poland

then guess what they're tracked by

Russia Russia wants to know where those

weapons are going duh because they want

those weapons so what does Ukraine do

well at night they switched their trucks

they put them into different trucks they

put them into different train cars they

put them into different things to

purposefully confuse where these things

are going to obfuscate where these

things are going they're doing that on

purpose

to make it harder for Russia to track

them but in doing Sam so it also makes

it harder for us to see what's going on

and have any kind of accountability this

is where I petition the US government

start using Apple Air tags yes I am an

active Apple shareholder and yes I run

an exchange traded fund as a licensed

financial advisor and sell courses on

building your wealth and I'm a real

estate broker

and I hold Apple shares in that fund

okay yes it is true but from a logic

point of view my bias aside it seems

reasonable to want to track we're very

expensive military equipment is going we

literally just sent another 11 Mi 17

helicopters another 300 switchblade

drones another 18 155 millimeter

Howitzer cannons and another round of

javelins and stingers and S 300 air

defense systems above and beyond the

chart that I just showed you we just

allocated even more

but yet our government tells us that

they can't

have any clue of knowing where these

weapons are going or if they're falling

into the right hands remember

Afghanistan a lot of our weapons that we

left in Afghanistan after being there

for 20 years guess what it helped create

the foundation of the new talibani

government

it's the way War works you buy lots of

crap when you leave it behind military

industrial complex doesn't care because

the more weapons get left behind the

more new weapons we have to make to

fight the people who are now using all

of the weapons we previously made and

left behind

it's a disaster it's all a disaster and

it's going to continue to become

extremely politically unpopular

even to the extent that now just to show

you how there's a lack of regional Unity

against this war in Ukraine

two Iranian warships were just allowed

to dock in Rio de Janeiro Brazil even

after warnings from President Biden

president Lula who defeated bolsonaro

bolsonaro really deemed to be basically

the Trump of Brazil he basically had his

own

Freedom Riot or Insurrection depending

on whatever side of the aisle you're on

I don't really care I try to report

stuff mostly in the middle uh obviously

everybody's got a bias I really think I

do my best to just try to be in the

middle here but anyway so you've got

Lola

who's initially uh denying Iranian

warships for from docking in Brazil

vowing to deny Iranian or Iranian

Iranian whatever request to doctor

military warships

but basically after he became president

he's like yeah you know what it's okay

Iran you can dock here

and this is a slap in the face to Joe

Biden

while at the same time Iran is

supporting Russia

but it shows you the lack of regional or

really World consistency against this

war in Ukraine

and this is why a lot of folks are

saying support for the war in Ukraine is

over this is a regional conflict it's

going to keep dragging on it did it

lasted way longer than people expected

and unfortunately it's probably going to

have to come down to countries like the

United States Germany France France and

Italy helping negotiate a solution

rather than taking this approach that we

did in Afghanistan which was quote

unquote we will not negotiate with

terrorists well so then we stayed in

Afghanistan for 20 years

and embarrassingly left out left a

massive power vacuum which led to the

collapse of the Afghani government which

we spent 20 years

and hundreds of billions of dollars to

build potentially trillions of dollars

to build

and that was eradicated within weeks of

us leaving because we left a power

vacuum Taliban took our weapons and

moved it

it's the same problem that Russia had in

the 70s we didn't learn lessons then

remember Russia was in

Afghanistan in the 70s

when we say oh we need to invade Iraq

because of in Afghanistan because of

potential weapons of mass destruction

when Russia was there in the 70s we gave

them plans for nuclear weapons

anyway

point is

there's a massive disaster going on in

the world right now that

basically is a middle finger to the

Biden Administration and the Ukrainian

government and that is that the world

does not know doesn't does no longer

unanimously support and actually never

really has uh this war in Ukraine uh

that means supporting the Ukrainian

defense is does not have unanimous

support supporting Russia does not have

unanimous support but actually has

growing support whether it's in

circumventing sanctions protecting

Russian oligarchs in the UAE uh

circumventing car sanctions oil

sanctions uh chip sanctions the world

does not seem to care about the war in

Ukraine the world seems to be writing

this off as a regional conflict not as a

potential World War III risk maybe

that's what was initially deemed but the

idea of world war three seems to be

far-fetched right now

now on one hand that's fantastic news

because I don't I don't want to start

making World War III videos as much as I

made stimulus videos

I would much rather just talk about drum

Powell and Federal Reserve and stocks I

like

so my opinion on all of this world war

three

massively overblown fear-mongering the

world does not seem to care that sounds

very insensitive but it's just a cold

hard reality when we start putting all

of the pieces of the puzzle together the

world is not committed to the idea of

Ukraine maintaining all of their land

and not negotiating with Putin the world

seems much more committed to the idea

that this is going to drag on until

finally we get a negotiated settlement

where maybe Russia takes officially

again Crimea and parts of Southeast

Ukraine like the Dennis region

we have no idea what's going to

obviously end up happening but that

seems to be the sentiment of world

governments
