How Many Patriot Systems Does Ukraine Need? – June Q&A

Video Summary

Russia’s seat on the UN Security Council is a topic of debate, with some arguing that it should be reconsidered given their recent actions, including breaching nine UN resolutions and other sanctions. The speaker believes that Russia’s permanent veto power is outdated and that it’s time for a new member to take their place, such as India. The UN is not a governing body, but rather a forum for dialogue and discussion, and countries are not required to surrender their sovereignty to the organization.

The speaker also discussed the effectiveness of the Red Cross in holding Russia accountable for their actions in Ukraine. He believes that the organization’s silence is due to the fact that Russia is a major donor and that the organization needs money to survive.

Regarding Ukraine’s ability to hold out against Russia, the speaker believes that it would be easier with the support of the European Union, which has the economic capacity to provide Ukraine with the necessary resources. He also expressed concern about the impact of a potential Trump presidency on Ukraine’s chances of survival, stating that Trump’s views on dictators and his lack of support for NATO and Ukraine make him a serious threat to global democracy.

The speaker also addressed the issue of Russia’s oil refineries, which have been targeted by Ukrainian forces. He believes that the refineries will eventually be knocked offline, which will have a significant impact on Russia’s economy.

Finally, the speaker discussed the Russian ruble, which he believes is artificially inflated and that the Central Bank is manipulating the exchange rate. He also expressed concern about the long-term viability of Russia’s military efforts, given the country’s demographic challenges and the fact that they are losing 1,000 men per day.
