BREAKING: Merchant of Death Warns Russia Is Preparing for a Devastating Attack on Western Europe

0:04Mr. Bout, thank you very much for doing this. Americans have been distracted. I think I've certainly been distracted by what's happening in Iran. But there has been a very significant escalation in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and really Russia and the West. Can you describe how that conflict has changed recently? Well, there is several points. Let's start from the situation that this conflict is not conflict between Ukraine and Russia. This conflict basically between Russia and entire coalition of willing, it's NATO, United States, plus other vassals, I would say, with the Western world, who just blindly complies.

0:47So they, from the get-go, supplied to Ukraine all kinds of armaments. Initially, it was javelins and lambs, anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles. Then it went to the Patriots, then it went to the tanks, Abrams, Leopards. Then it went to the F-16. And every time Ukrainians and their handlers, especially in London, especially MN6, thinking this would be a game changer, doesn't work. Ukraine really losing grounds, maybe not as fast as we want, but frontline progressing. Every week there is several villages, small towns are being liberated by Russian army. Of course, since last year, the decision was to remove all the military production from Ukraine to Europe, which was done efficiently.

1:46Just more than months ago, Russian Ministry of Defense published a list of all these factories who, in fact, in Europe producing armaments for the Ukrainian army. So think of this. The logistics, the industries are now in Europe. So Europe is not a natural part. And we hear from their leadership, they're more openly declaring that they are in full support of the Ukraine and they won this war against Russia till the last Ukrainians. So this is a very much, you know, war morging approach. We're going to lead. So they move this production there. And about two months ago, there is a mass, you know, quantity of the drones start coming to Ukrainian troops.

2:36They receive the capacity to launch simultaneously up to 500-600 drones long range, which is a range over 1 ,500 kilometers, let's say about 1 ,000 miles. So they're trying to heat our refineries, they're trying to heat some civilian buildings. Definitely, if it has any strategic value or results, no. Yes, there is a reducing production in refinery for a couple of days, then basically refinery back up and running. And then they change completely to the terror attacks. We know that, for instance, this was a terror attack when they perfectly knew that in the Lugansk region, there was a college where the students, over 100 of them, been in the dormitory.

3:35And the drones, you know, came, attacked, and as a result, 21 students were killed. Then it was not end of the story. There was no excuse. They said there was a soldier. Well, the journalist went and showed the proof there was a student, and there is none of military presence there, even close. After this, there was an attack on several buses. They started using these drones in the border region to attack civilians. Any car which is going because of these new, what they call, Martian drones with the AI vision, who take the same decision which target to attack. So they just, you know, not even an operator.

4:21It goes and it's choose any target, any moving car, any moving, even the kit on the bike. And they're just hitting this kit on the bike. So it's a purely terrorist approach. You know, they're trying to, you know, if they can't win on the battlefield, they're trying to see this court and panic within the Russian population. But guess what? It's only make Russian population more resolute. And there is more and more demand from our president and from our, you know, top military commanders. Hey, you need really to finish this. You know, we have enough arsenal of the, you know, proper, I would say, weapons, which would definitely bring this war quickly to the end.

5:08Not even not resorting to the nuclear ones. Which European countries are manufacturing these drones, these armaments, being used against civilians in Russia? Well, first of all, there is many factories, which is in Poland. There is in Germany, in France, in Italy, in Denmark, in Turkey. here, there is a presence of them, I would say Spain, Belgium, Dutch, of course, British were the huge manufacturers who are contributing to their so-called cruise missile program, Flamingo, which is in fact British one, you know. And all this is officially announced. Hey, we are We are producing this. Ukraine will get capacity to heat deep inside Russia.

6:01Well, this is again pushing us towards very close to the conflict where finally we would have no other choice but to start heating logistics centers in Poland, in Romania, within Germany, within all these countries, because they are part of the conflict. Accordingly, all the international law, we have a full right to attack those because they are manufacturing armament and they're declaring that these are factories belonging to Ukraine. Think of this. If we now, you know, put analogy with Israel, did Israel will tolerate if there is a Hamas or Hezbollah would have a factory in Jordan, in Turkey, who manufacturing this Katyusha rocket was hitching Israel?

6:47Heck no. They're going to immediately, you know, attack them. But this is a difference. So sometimes on the West, they're thinking that restraint on our leadership is a weakness. But look on what's going on in the world. We're really now very close to the all-out World War III in the most hottest stage, and there would be no brakes to stop it. And honestly, as you said, you've been too busy with Iran, and rightly so, because think of this. If this conflict in Iran will not stop and protract, what kind of the economical damage it's already caused? Because we're talking about that even, I mean, yes, it's clear that the most visible is a oil which is not flowing through Hormuz trade.

7:35But as important, this is a fertilizer which was cut out of the production there. and Iranians have been very big producers of some kind of fertilizer worldwide. So it's already affecting, including American farmers. And now, accordingly, the forecast of the United Nations, there should be a shortage of the food and eventually hunger, first of all, in Africa. And we're also talking about all kinds of different chemical precursors necessary for the technological supply chain in China, which goes through all over the world. So this will affect entire humanity. Thanks God, President Trump did maybe, you know, very late, but it's still, you know, a decision to extricate himself from this conflict.

8:27And it's good news for humanity. Otherwise, we're still on the balancing age where the one wrong move of Europeans which is encouraging Ukrainians of attacking Russia, we can cause a reaction where we have, as again, Russia would have to response with the old mind just to stop it. And then it will cause eventually unpredictable reaction. And we are very quickly can escalate to the nuclear exchange. And then nobody knows what will left from humanity. And for me personally, what I'm watching, you know, looks like we lost a generation of responsible politicians, especially in Europe. First of all, Europe, just as we speak, you know, on our rise, happened to transiting from the basically dictatorship.

9:27And it's not only dictatorship in each country, like happened before the World War II, but it's double dictatorship. Many of them are basically unpopular, but they still cling to the power by manipulating the winning the election, like we saw recently in Romania. This is the best example, but basically nobody was even considering opinion of the people. They just installed the government, which is a globalist or European leadership desire more. The same true for other countries. And then you have a Brussels bureaucracy or dictatorship who basically make all this country, deprive them of their sovereignty.

10:17And this is with all the crisis, economical situation, because Europe already committed economical suicide by cutting themselves off, you know, reliable and relatively cheap Russian energy sources like a tube gas. Now they're forced to buy the, you know, LNG from all over the world and they have to compete for higher price. German industry are not any more competitive and we know that the first time for past 80 years, German automotive industry are basically on their final death bed, you know. So what are they doing? They're converting the ex-Volkswagen and Audi plants into the line to produce a weapons and militarizing country.

11:09Germany introduced a law where the male population cannot leave a country without first registering in the special military recruiting points. They openly say that they need to have a strongest army in Europe in the three years. Well, you know, we already heard this similar situation, and it was right before World War II started with Hitler on power. And by the way, Hitler was also elected democratically. And what kind of the consequences is left for the entire world? So for me, you know, observing these processes and understanding that, look, our government really try all possible ways and means to bring some idea.

12:07Hey, let's negotiate. Let's mind our own businesses. Let's rediscuss, rearrange, and have a proper security structure in Europe, which allowed or prevent any future conflict. This whole proposal has been denied for the past 20 years. We're seeing that militarization and preparation for the bigger war and extension of the NATO, especially recent one when Finland and Switzerland become part of NATO, is really causing a concern. It's our national security concern. So Russia already reacted by forming a new military district near that border. And our border with Finland, it's what, about 1 ,500 miles.

13:01So we have to put our resources there. And Finland recently voted that they allowed to bring in their territory nuclear weapons and store it there. well, looks like, you know, the European elites seriously considering an all-out, full-blown war with Russia, and they're thinking that they're going to win in conventional war. Well, let me tell you, there is a bad news for them. Russia will not answer conventionally for their attempts to attack us. In our military doctrine, there is a postulate or formula where if we feel that any attacks against us are threatening our existence, we will answer with nuclear weapons.

13:50And believe me, Russia has second to the known nuclear and most modern arsenal in the world. We definitely, with the one missiles, can completely obliterate and destroy all life on the territory like England or France. You know, and that's definitely, we don't want to go this way. But if they're considering that they can conquer us, split us onto the, what they want, 32 small parts, make them like their resource, you know, colonies, it's happening. Well, having life insurance is one of those things that helps you sleep better at night. If something were to happen to you, what exactly would happen to your loved ones, your children?

14:34We've heard so many stories of families losing a parent and having their life insurance policy save their financial lives. That's the whole point of it. It makes all the difference in the world. The next question becomes, well, how do I get life insurance? That's where Ethos comes in, a company we're proud to partner with. Ethos makes securing a life insurance plan fast and easy and 100 % online. People don't get it because it's a hassle and it's expensive. This solves that problem.

I mean, this is, you're not the first person I've talked to who said this. I think everything you're saying is real. I think in the West, we imagine that President Putin is the most radical person in Russia. I think he's been a force for restraint, but that may not be possible for much longer.

15:43So I believe everything that you're saying. I don't understand why Europe, European leaders would want to have a war with Russia. What is the motive? Well, the way I see it, all these leaders, look on Macron, look on this, you know, Mertz or Steimer who was just resigned today, basically, as we speak. These people are most unpopular in their countries. Think of the European bureaucracy in Brussels. So for them, the war is maybe the only way to cling to the power, to stay at power, to keep their influence. If they go to the war, they can declare emergency, what do you call it, declare the war regime in countries and say, okay, we postponed the election, and then they grab power completely.

16:37Another one, you know, we talk about that the globalists basically fully control Europe, especially Sauros. For the last 30 years, he invested heavily into, grew up all these leaders since their early teens. They become students. They've been paid to study in the universities. Then they become activists. Then they become politicians. And finally, they become leaders of their countries who have basically no even feeling to their own native countries. They don't care about their own future. They are all part of this suicidal satanic cult. And this is where we come. For me, this conflict with Ukraine has basically become a religious conflict.

17:27And this is where we feel like this is maybe a final battle with the evil forces. because what these people are doing, how they're treating even all population. Last week, I was taking part in the press conference where we have a public tribunal. It's a not official tribunal for the crimes of the Ukrainian Nazi regime. And every time, the group of volunteers goes to freshly liberated areas, towns and villages in Ukraine and questioning local population who stay there, who remain and waited for the Russians to come and liberate them. And their stories, it's horrific how the Ukrainians coming to them, threatening them to say, oh, you stay there.

18:22You want to see the Russian army come and, you know, liberate you. You are traitors. We kill you. And they deprive them from the water. They just shoot anybody who moves on the street just for fun. They treat them really like occupational force. And many, many occasions, even more ferocious or more horrific than used to be during the Nazi or German army occupation during World War II. By the way, today we have a national remembrance day of the first day when the Germany attacked Soviet Union, in the four o 'clock in the morning on June 22nd. So for Russians, for all, even many republics of all, ex-USSR, Belarus, Central Asian Republic, this is a very somber day where we, with a full, you know, trembling, remember our grandfathers, like my one, who died in the fight in the Kursk battle.

19:28and this is a really, really huge for us. So we are Russians, we know what is a war, we know what is consequences, it comes. And for all of us, because we're basically same people with the Ukrainians, because the soldiers in both trenches are speaking the same language. For us, it looks like more like a civil war than the war with this. And knowing how quickly for literally, you know, less than, you know, 20 years, the brainwash propaganda was able to prepare a huge mass of these neo-Nazis, Banderites, who are now acting like a Nazi, like SS division, who are proudly celebrating. Just recently, Zelensky brought a leaders of Ukrainian Bandera movement from Europe, their remains, and with the full owners, buried them in a special memorial cemetery near the Kiev.

20:30This, of course, sparked some conflict with Poland, because these Ukrainian nationalists, which we call Bandera troops or gang, responsible for ethnic cleansing, not only Jews, Russians, but also Pollux. Over hundred thousands of the Pollux have been killed by them in the areas. So, and now thinking that Europeans who've been swearing that they would not allow any more reburn of fascism. And by the way, the funny facts. In Germany, for instance, it's forbidden to display any swastikas or any Nazi symbols. but they are blind to see that in Ukraine, there is many divisions, many military units are openly wearing Nazi insignia.

21:25And there is, you know, like a crickets from the, you know, German investigative journalists, all those, their presence. So for them, as long as they are fighting Russians, it's good. And it's also very, very serious that Germany openly talking again of another big campaign against Russia. So we know how it ends up. And believe me, if we need to repeat like our grandfathers, we have to do, we will do it. But we rather try to find those with the sober minds and to say, hey, do you know the consequences? Do you really want to see again Europe destroyed till the, you know, demolished, and then you want to rebuild again?

22:17I don't think so. Population has even been asked. I'm almost sure that every European country, there is a majority of the normal people who, like you, like me, like many, you know, normal people everywhere in the world are willing to have a peace, prosperity, you know, some normal cooperation, and all problems or disputes we can solve through the negotiations, whether it's a commercial, whether it's, you know, other ones. But apparently, despite we thinking that we are in advanced level of our civilization, that we can be proud of our achievements in technology and the science or medicine, But look how we are different from what's happened, let's say, 2 ,000 years ago, 3 ,000 years ago.

23:06We still, again, in these vicious cycles of the war, vicious cycles of the ego of our leaders, vicious cycle of the people who just fought their grabs and their, what do you call it, you know, the treasures which they can go and grab. in other countries as a result of the invasion or attack. We're basically exactly the same mentality. And this is maybe a problem of the humanity. And unless we change it, we basically doom if we don't see some drastic changes in the next couple of years. Because, look, drones are changed a lot. Now we see what's happening with the AI and this manifesto, what they call a technocratic manifesto of the Alex Karp, is basically techno-fascism.

24:03And now think of this, if the mask produce army of drones, and these drones would be unleashed on the battlefields, where the full control on the surveillance system, social credit control over all the population, which they want to introduce. And now we as humans really left very little opportunity. In this case, Russia may be the last, I would say, holdout, which is by fighting in the front lines of this conflict, not only defending our future, our sovereignty, but maybe future of entire humanity, the way we know it, the way we want it to be in the future. Well, I can understand why Barack Obama wanted to put you in prison.

24:57So now I understand perfectly well. Inflation makes credit card statements particularly scary. You work 40, 50 hours a week just to buy groceries and gas, things you used to be able to afford without thinking that much about it. Then the banks charge you 20 % interest. If the system is designed to keep you underwater, it's working. But there's another option. Our friends at American Financing are doing something the big banks despise. They are helping people. Mortgage rates in the fives, supporting the American dream of homeownership. And they're showing homeowners how to take their hard-earned equity to wipe out high-interest debt.

25:31Now, we're against debt in general, but in this economy, most people have no choice at all. So don't go bankrupt enslaving yourself to a lender. Average savings are about$800 a month, and it takes only 10 minutes to talk to a salary-based mortgage consultant. No upfront fees or obligation to see how much you can save. Give American Financing a call, 800-685-5696. That's 1-800-685-5696 or visit AmericanFinancing.net slash Tucker, America's home for home loans. Now, may I ask you to explain something that you said? You said at the beginning, this is fundamentally a religious conflict. Can you expand on that a little bit?

26:15Think of this. Majority, over, I would say 80 % of the population of Ukraine was Russian Orthodox Church of Ukrainian Patriarchate, which got their own autonomy, but was an integral part since, you know, ancient times. And remember, Kiev was the city where the Russians received their Christianity. So for us, Kiev is a part of our national, I would say, cultural code. And so artificial creation of Ukraine appeared literally less than over 100 years ago. And it was invented by the Austro-Hungarian, you know, I would say the leaders, military ones who trying to control Russian speaking population of the empire.

27:10So they created this nationalistic movement and tried to brainwash them that they are different. You know, and basically this population identified themselves as Orthodox under the Russians. They've been speaking on the dialect of Russian. They've been believing in the same church. So for us, the church was exactly the same. And then since this coup, bloody coup in 2014, they start to decide that they need to make a reform. They need to abolish the Russian Orthodox Church and create Ukrainian Orthodox Church. They've got this separatist, a smaller church. And then for the past, what, 12 years, they're just using the police, using the gangs of these neo-Nazis who are, by the way, never been a Christian.

28:05They are, you know, what you call it, the pre-Christian believers, you know, similar to the, they have their own pantheon of the gods, not the Jesus Christ. So with their help, they tried to go to each church and force the original priest out, you know, put a new log and say, this is now Ukrainian Orthodox Church, not the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. So there is a war against them. And then for us, the Kiev Pichovra Lavra, it's a monastery which has most ancient history, uninterrupted service on the Russian Orthodox Church, with a lot of the relics buried in their huge underground tunnels. They shut it down, they evict the monks, and now they pillage whatever relics and bodies of the saints which have been buried and mummified in this huge system, underground caves.

29:11all those now pillaged and sent to Europe. So all the priests been evicted, and what they did in the biggest temple there, they just created a military canteen and doing some satanist performances. So for us, this is also a big deal religious war. Think of this. Those Ukrainians who eventually living in the police state, they can't express their different opinion. You know, their government hunting the people on the street, all males capable to hold their arms and sending them to the front line because Ukrainian army losing a lot and they need a manpower. So in this condition, of course, population in Ukraine are completely, I would say, under the strictest and most probably most harsh condition.

30:08I would compare it to the biggest prison on the open sky, because you can't leave the Ukraine unless you are not belonging to the elites. You be caught and sent to the front line to use as a cannon meat. And then you last about a couple of days if you're lucky if you're surrendered to Russian army. we're seeing every time that they're losing so much that every body exchange between Russia and Ukraine usually goes like the recent one. Russia transferred about 27 bodies. Russia transferred to Ukraine about 1 ,000 bodies and received back about 27 bodies of fallen soldiers. And this proportion tells you about the huge, basically, demographic problem.

30:55There is no future because several generations have been killed by this policy of this leader. By the way, there is a problem with Zelensky because his term has expired. So he didn't want to announce a new election. His so-called parliament, their terms are also expiring. And very rightful question, with whom negotiate? Who has a legal authority even to sign any, I would say, agreements or peace deal from their name? And this is also another question to ask. Why Zelensky don't want to have an election? Why all these people are talking much, but they disregard a desire of Ukrainian people? Accordingly, recent polls, which is done, by the way, by the Western Organization, I think it was American and British, they found and they double-checked several times that over 80 % want the peace deal with Russia.

32:00This is the problem. So what will be future? We don't know, but we're really, really worried because, look, Ukraine now trying to attack nuclear power plants. This was their attempt several times to hit hard Zaporozhye nuclear power plant. And the entire endeavor to the Kursk region of Russia. You remember it happened in, what, 2024, I guess. Yeah, 2024, when they, you know, by surprise, went to the Russian territory. The entire target was the Kursk nuclear power station. They wanted to hijack it, occupy it, and then try to, what do you call it, try to negotiate with Russia or swap with Zaporozhye or something else.

32:52It ain't happened. Now we're seeing also worrisome rhetoric going from Zelensky that he is threatening to Belarus. So they're trying also to basically do some kind of the lightning strike operation in Belarus. Well, I don't know if his army is capable to open another front line over about a thousand miles in the lakes. Looks like suicidal, but I think we're living in the age where the logic or pure, you know, logical calculation of repair are not working anymore. All these leaders in Europe looking more like, I don't know, buffoonish, like a clown. Well, Zelensky at least openly been a clown. We saw all his performances.

33:38So what you can expect from him. But I think what France or Germany or, as a matter of fact, Britain cannot have somebody more decent than those, you know, despicable personalities whom when you're seeing how they behave, what they're doing. Well, it's just, you know, I feel very, very much sorrow for the, you know, proud people of France or Germany, matter of fact, or in England. What's happening there? Basically, their fabric or even civilization, European, are being demolished, are destroyed. There is a huge replacement of the population happening with this uncontrolled immigration. Unfortunately, it's also happening in America for a very long time.
