In short
The episode argues that a “Trump-Putin war plan” is being exposed, claiming Trump’s actions toward Zelensky and NATO left Ukraine without promised Patriot interceptors, enabling Russia to intensify missile and drone attacks (including alleged North Korean-supplied ballistic/cruise missiles). It also claims Trump’s posture toward Kim Jong-un and South Korea undermines U.S. alliances and could worsen conditions before winter.

0:29Ben Meiselas:All hell is breaking loose in Russia's war against Ukraine as Donald Trump's plan with Putin is now exposed. Donald Trump and Putin, in essence, working together to embolden Kim Jong-un to allow North Korea to provide ballistic and cruise missiles to Russia to rain down on Ukraine as Donald Trump further attacks NATO, as Donald Trump attacks South Korea, as Donald Trump weakens the United States alliances and leaves Ukraine to fend for itself. as the winter approaches without the much needed Patriot interceptors where Donald Trump promised at least Patriot interceptors to Zelensky back in early July during the NATO summit.
1:22Ben Meiselas:The same NATO summit in Ankara where Donald Trump escaped the old Air Force One with Natalie on the catering container, fearful that he was going to get assassinated by Iran. Let's break down what is going on right now. I will share this with you as Ukraine is doing everything in its power to try to stop Russia's ongoing attacks. You have footage right here of a Ukrainian soldier using a German-supplied MG3 machine gun to shoot down an incoming Russian attack drone at near point blank range. Watch this. This is how they're doing it. And by the way, if you've watched Drone Hunters, where Ken Harbaugh from the Midas Touch Network was in Ukraine shooting down drones with the Ukrainian army, I got to give a hat tip to that coverage.
2:17Ben Meiselas:But more importantly, the courageous people over there in Ukraine shooting down these drones. Here, play this clip.
2:28Ben Meiselas:Next, I will share with you some of the recent attacks on Zaitmir. You'll see that this Russian attack hit a police station in the area, sending drones about 700 kilometers from the front. Here, play this clip.
2:55Ben Meiselas:Then I'll share this with you as well, because Russia launched a massive strike on Kyiv last night. Take a look at this seemingly ordinary summer night until Russia strikes hard with ballistic missiles, although I should say nothing is an ordinary summer night with all hell breaking loose. Take a look at this video that's circulating right now showing several Russian missile strikes hitting the Ukrainian capital in rapid succession. Russian forces have launched more than 20 missiles against Kiev and its suburbs with residential buildings being hit and power disruptions across parts of the city.
3:41Ben Meiselas:Denny's from Ukraine covering this as well. Let's play this clip
4:14Oh, of course. They're not going to be very tight.
4:21I'm going to be very good.
4:26I'm in such a way here. They're really important to wrestle.
4:30Ben Meiselas:Max 26, Jay and Kyiv are on this as well, bringing the open source intelligence information that we rely on here to bring you this news as well. They do incredible work. Blackouts right now in Kiev after what you just saw there. The Russians struck energy infrastructure. They are intentionally striking lots of the lights in the region, lots of the energy infrastructure. Here's the kind of minimum amount of weapons that were used against Ukraine last night. 13 hypersonic missiles, eight Iskander ballistics, two North Korean-made KH-23 ballistics struck Kiev. There have been dozens of injured, multiple deaths right now.
5:19Ben Meiselas:You can hear right here the people in Kiev terrified about what's going on. And it does indeed seem that, as we've been reporting, there are no interceptors in Kiev, in Ukraine to stop these ballistic barrages coming from Putin's Russia as Donald Trump tapped Zelensky along saying, we will give you the license and then we will not give you the license. Watch for yourself what's going down.
6:04Ben Meiselas:Now here's the aftermath of the airstrikes in the Solomensky district of Kiev. You can see people trapped in residential buildings. A horrific sight indeed. Let's play it.
6:38Ben Meiselas:A photo of one of these residential buildings that were hit in Kiev. And then, of course, Ukraine striking back. Let's be very clear. All hell is breaking loose in the region. You have Ukraine striking back, burning Russian logistics centers, whether it's the Wildberries or other logistics centers, have been hit hard. and you'll see some of the Russian logistics on the land corridor on the route to Crimea between Berdyansk and Maripool being hit. We'll see this right now. Let's play it.
7:24Ben Meiselas:you can see here how the uh russian warships are trying to adapt to ukraine's drone warfare you can see the large array of anti-drone protective structures hat tip kershon cat does a great job as well. Let's run the B-roll right now as a drone operator from Ukraine infiltrates a Russian FPV drone operator base and blows it up from the inside. Look at the precision right here with which the Ukrainian drone is finding the drone operator from Russia located in this building. Those FPV drones, that's modern warfare right now. Russia has its Shahids, its FPVs, and of course, its ballistics and cruise missiles.
8:19Ben Meiselas:Ukraine had, it was early on, the HIMARS, those ATAKAMs, those are no longer really working as well. Russia developed jamming systems that really kind of neutralized the effectiveness of those HIMARS, which back a few years ago, or one of the main reasons why Ukraine was able to stop the Russian advance. But now Ukraine is using the Firepoint 1, Firepoint 2 drones. The FP5 is the Flamingo missile. And now they're even developing a Firepoint 9. I've seen some prototypes as well. You can see right here, B-roll it please, the 422nd separate unmanned systems regimen of the 17th Army Corps cutting through Russian logistics with Hornet mid-range strike drones right there.
9:08And it was a very large scale Ukrainian counteroffensive as well. I showed you the Russian strikes in Kyiv.
9:15Ben Meiselas:We're focused now on the Ukraine strikes as well in Russia. Like in Russia's city of Ufa right here, you can see an oil refinery that was previously repaired. Hit again, see it for yourself.

Now, here's what's happening in Russia too. This is really a matter
11:06Ben Meiselas:of what's going to happen before winter, because this is very existential. And this is why the Trump-Putin plan, as I see it, I'm giving you my opinion in this video as protected by the First Amendment, but what this plan was all about. I'm giving you my opinion. Again, feel free to disagree with the opinion. This is opinion-free speech, this video. Putin calls Trump July 4th, 250th anniversary of the United States. They speak for 90 minutes. Shortly thereafter, Donald Trump makes it seem like he's going to be helping Zelensky. They meet at Ankara, Turkey. Trump says, I'm going to give you the license for the interceptors.
11:42Ben Meiselas:Trump doesn't give the license come the beginning of August. Russia, meanwhile, is building out its capabilities along the border in Kalinograd as well, which is not actually attached to mainland Russia, but is located between Poland and Lithuania. That's why we saw some of that jamming activity in Kalinograd the other day with NATO. Not quite sure that Donald Trump even fully realizes that NATO was coming to Ukraine's defense with this jamming system. But then Donald Trump thereafter rushed to Russia's defense. In my view, the helping Kim Jong-un is all about allowing Kim Jong-un to help Russia in this catastrophic and unlawful war against Ukraine.
12:27Ben Meiselas:So what's going to happen in the winter? Zelensky doesn't have interceptors. You have Putin building up a massive ballistic arsenal. This could be a very deadly, will be a very deadly winter. But what's going to happen first? Ken Zelensky effectively disrupt life in Russia so much, take out these logistic centers, bring the war deep in Russia with these FP5s that go 2 ,000 kilometers, 3 ,000 kilometers, or will Russia be able to weather this, build up its drone defenses, and then strike hard come the winter. And if you want to know why Russia's focused on these energy grids, because they want to make this a frigid, freezing winter for Ukrainians.
13:15So the Russian military strategist, former general staff member, and doctor of military science, Konstantin Sivkov, warned that the country is on the verge of a social political explosion as the capital's irritation with government policies and a split within the Russian elite are reaching a breaking point. The Russian stock market struggling. The Russian markets, the oligarchs losing a lot of money right now with these Ukrainian strikes. I mean, again, just look over here. Ukrainian Air Force hitting hard in this summer campaign, certain Russian bridges. Look right here. B-roll it. Ukrainian attack drones striking more of that UFA facility.
13:56And so this is what's going on. This is what I want us all to pay attention to. So come the winter, we're not shocked. We're not surprised. And also, I think what Zelensky views, what Kushner and Witkoff are trying to do is stop in Ukraine first. They have never visited Ukraine yet, Witkoff and Kushner. Then they're going to go to Russia. So what they're doing, in my view, is carrying out orders from Putin to Trump, giving you my opinion, to Kushner and Witkoff to try to force a surrender of Zelensky, Zelensky doing everything he can to ensure that Ukraine will be protected come this winter. That's why we see all these wild berry strikes.
14:39So keep your eye out on that. Russian political strategist and commentator Alexei Chadyaev, as Jane Keeve puts it, says millions of Russians, if not the majority, are now calling for an end to this war as they lose what took decades to build, refineries, companies, ports, whole industries, further citing the exchanging of all this for more fictitious military victories and saying that, is this even worth it? It's notable the parallels here, Trump and Putin. Putin told his people it would be three days, three days we would take over Ukraine. Trump said we'd be able to take over in just a matter of time.
15:17Three days, two weeks, we've got it. We've got it. Putin has the same stuff. It's like the same mindset. Two weeks, two weeks, we're doing. I mean, if you look at what Putin's been saying, it reminds me so much of the type of stuff that Trump says about her moves. Look at what Putin says. Despite the recent terrorist attacks, our trade infrastructure is operating efficiently and reliably. Ukraine's terrorist attacks are, of course, causing us harm, but there have not been and cannot be any critical consequences. I mean, perhaps more honest than Donald Trump, actually. So you've got that. You have Zelensky saying, my main task for the minister of defense of Ukraine is to put our defense system, our production and procurement system, and our supply system to the troops on a truly effective footing so that those defending life in Ukraine have everything they need to repel Russian attacks, hold our positions on the front, and carry out our active operations.
16:17Yevani Kamara proved through his service with the SSU's Alpha Special Operations Center that he does not speak lightly and knows full well that occupiers are not defeated with empty promises. Zelensky also refers to the Russian strikes of Ukrainian cities as the Russian safari against our people in Kershon has long gone beyond anything a normal person could imagine. This morning, the Russians struck an ordinary minibus in Kershon with an FPV drone. Four people were killed and five others were wounded there. Similarly, in the Kharkiv region, Zelensky says a Russian attack on a busy intersection located by post office and stores surrounded by residential buildings resulted in 10 people there being killed.
17:10Zelensky sends his condolences. Now, with Ukraine being hit hard by North Korean supplied ballistics and cruise missiles to Russia, Donald Trump was asked, what is up with us in the Oval Office with your cozying up to Kim Jong-un again and attacking South Korea? Dude, what the hell are you doing again? This is what you're doing. You're doing the Kim Jong-un thing again. And by the way, Kim Jong-un's sister said, we don't know what the hell he's talking about. We ain't talking to him. I mean, how, again, humiliating for the United States when Trump makes up conversations with Kim Jong-un and Iran, and then they say, we ain't having these conversations.
17:54But this was Donald Trump, kind of, in my view, my opinion, this is one of the receipts I base it on, is Trump's asked a very basic question. So you said that North Korea has 57 nuclear weapons. So is your goal denuclearization? The answer should be yes. The answer is a simple yes. So I'm just trying to understand this. Donald Trump is angry at South Korea, which increased its GDP to military defense ratio in line with what Trump and Hegseth were basically extorting them to do. South Korea did it. South Korea has been a loyal ally of the United States and South Korea pays for the U.S. defenses in South Korea.
18:42But because South Korea did not want to join Trump's unlawful and catastrophic war against Iran that Trump and Netanyahu went it alone on after Trump the previous year said he totally obliterated Iran's nuclear capabilities. So why were we even there in the first place other than for Trump and Netanyahu to slaughter little girls at Manab and Le Mairet and other places in Iran? but because South Korea did not want to join that, Donald Trump wants North Korea to gain nuclear weapons and there are more nuclear weapons as North Korea threatens the United States with nuclear weapons. What the hell is this?
19:23I mean, this is a crazy person and we need to call it the hell out. This is what Donald, and a dangerous, I mean, a existentially dangerous person. Here's what Trump says. Let's play it. Mr. President, earlier today, you said North Korea has something like 57 and nuclear weapons and expanding their nuclear plan. Is your goal in trying to re-engage with German Kim still denuclearization? What would you think would be successful now? Well, I don't want to talk about that, but I do have a good relationship with Kim Jong-un, as you know, you've seen. He didn't like Biden. He didn't like Obama. He didn't like anybody, but he likes me.
