Thailand everybody it's h 10 p.m. In tha but everybody's asleep already yes well um everything should be good and live on rockin and Rumble welcome to all the moderators thank you so much for all your hard work uh I want to urge you all to go to the video description where you can find Pepe Escobar's Telegram and his X account you can also find all the places to support this channel patreon substack PayPal buy me a coffee and more without further Ado let us get right to the program so uh Pepe since the last time we spoke Ukraine and by extension NATO have invaded Russian territory in the ksk region and you have recently written a piece about this uh incredibly dangerous escalation that is now into and close to the end of the second week I wanted to ask you uh one to discuss what your findings and your reporting on this pretty Monumental event and also if you could tie this into something that I've been very concerned about and I think the rest of the world is including Russia is how this escalation kind of marks another step forward to an unthinkable conflict direct conflict between NATO and Russia yeah uh well from the beginning many of us Independents we had two key questions was the ministry of uh defense in Russia caught snapping in an astounding way or was this more or less engineered or re-engineered to set up a lethal trap for Ukraine so these were my first thoughts from the beginning then I started talking to some people and then I asked some of my very good sources in Moscow directly said look I I know you cannot be compromised I know this is extremely sensitive matter of National Security Russia but as much as you can tell me in one sentence Al so more than appreciate app it and they volunteered and in fact one of them told me that he will give me a full briefing when I'm back in Moscow I'll be back in Moscow in a week or so so I'm eagerly expecting this full briefing in detail uh it's a very very very complicated affair because it involves what goes on inside the ministry of Defense they are Clans it's Tribal they are in shock there are people who are against bilof the new Minister of Defense there's the shyu gang the josim mo faithfuls it's very complicated and for all of us it brings back what pring was saying all the time and he was to a large extent correct when he was talking about internal corruption the minist of Defense of course this happens everywhere in the Pentagon is uh in fact Intergalactic internal corruption in the German Ministry of defense is the same thing we don't know about what happens inside China because it's too opaque and in Russia as far as we can tell and as far as Intel sources who have their moldes inside the ministry of Defense can tell it's a very very complicated Affair uh we all know there is a sort of purge going on like Putin is feels now with this new government that he's free to finally reorganize things internally the ministry of Defense a lot of generals and all of the Old Guard have been directly accused of corruption shyu we can say very very diplomatically that he was sort of kicked upstairs and then of course does jasim gerasimov is let's let's put it this way first class Old School general but maybe not so good when it comes to fighting this new Hot War the way it is developing in Nova Rosia and now in ksk for instance a lot of these um I would say hawkish Intel factions not some inside the ministry of defense and some interconnected they think that the chief of general staff should be General surovi General Armageddon surovi which he's the guy who basically coordinated that legendary three tier Russian defense in novos well uh according to what I heard it's really really complicated inside and but and there is no definitive Smoking Gun there are reports internal reports confirmed by Intel sources that key uh reorganization of a certain brigades and and commanders before the Cur Invasion don't forget that the Russians have excellent uh not only uh internal sources and moles in banova in Kia but several uh let's say uh strata of the Ukrainian forces but also first class electronic surveillance and aerial surveillance of everything that happens in Ukraine so obviously they saw a movement of troops near the Kursk border they obviously they knew this what this would entail and that's the point where they made that faithful decision should we let it happen and then we're going to immediately uh reorganize the whole uh Battlefield scenario according to our own aims for that we still don't have a Smoking Gun but this looks like the privileged scenario they were not CAU completely unprepared it's absolutely impossible considering the level of information that they have on everything that happens in in the military and the in the Intel services in Ukraine so uh this I would say that this medium to long term after the Kirks problem is solved would necessitate a serious internal inquiry and a serious investigation the minist of defense will that happen we don't know what we do know is that bov is on a mission to finish off with Corruptions inside the ministry of Defense so hads will role we still don't know which heads and for what but that's inevitable and the fact that there are serious factions inside the ministry of Defense they are anti bildos off also tells us a lot right so in ano an extremely sensitive uh National Security matter for Russia for the moment they turned it around and we can say that putting's decisions uh in the f let's say in the first 48 hours after they identified what was going on in in K turned the whole thing around because it installed in practice a counterterrorist operation in fact what's going on in Kirks now is a counterterrorist operation a take no prisoners atos where if you don't surrender peacefully which is the case of many ukrainians for the past few days you are going to be be eliminated and that's it take no prisoners so the choice is yours and of course Russia will prevail and it's going to take time it's a very very complicated uh it will in uh imply uh battles for villages and small cities as well this thing can go on for weeks or even months but they will prevail and the investigation of course is not going to happen in the next few weeks or months maybe will happen only next year but uh of course in terms of offering a gift for Russia it is an enormous gift because it is a suicidal Mission uh also very important we still don't have a Smoking Gun but let's say with 90% of certainty that this was um masterminded by NATO Anglo American NATO experts our friend Andre Mar know they cannot they cannot even do a basic Mass equation and they they had never seen a real war in front of them so these are the people who masterminded this operation right um and of course it's the ha Mary pass of this dwindling sweaty sweatshirt regime in Kev which is being thrown under the bus as we speak already have a list of candidates for the PO selinski Uh something's going to happen before the American elections most probably um they simply cannot they they the the the Americans must have something to show before the American elections apart from the com complete evisceration of the dbas front you know and they said okay K it's perfect we can sell it as a Ukrainian Victory which is the anglo-american mainstream media is Bravely doing it on on an everyday basis right that fantastic uh Ukrainian victory in ksk but um very very important names who is in charge of what's going on in kskk at the moment not gerasimov two names ding special advisor to President Putin which is reporting directly to President Putin is the overseer and the overseer of the counterterrorist operation is the fsb's bortnikov so these are the name these are the guys in charge of ksk it's not the Russian Ministry of defense and this for all of us I would say speaks lots of tall story volumes to say the least yeah I mean I think all these are are great points and so important uh in terms of the information that we need to understand what's going on and uh I wanted to follow up with the situation on the front line and as you said this this could very well be a huge gift to Russia because even the Western mainstream media says all of Ukraine's best are going into this operation yes but this operation is in Russian territory and while you said it's very complicated it also means that you have thousands of Ukraine's best troops uh just sitting there even The Economist is saying that Putin is going to punch back and punch back very hard and it's already kind of playing out on the front lines where there's Panic about collapse in places like psk so uh talk about talk about this development and again you know it all seems to be leading to that very dangerous confrontation given that uh while we don't have official confirmation NATO is essentially spearheading every Ukrainian operation and probably this one exactly um well uh the Russian tactic in Cur was absolutely classic from the beginning yeah uh we decimate the head of the snake the snake that invaded K in fact the top commanders and the top commanders of the top brigades they were all exterminated within the The First 48 Hours uh we attacked them uh in the rear and every body in between will be caught and will be encircled and there will be a cauldron or a lot of mini cauldrons in Russian territory in K this is where this is we are approaching this stage of the battle so it's more or less inevitable that they the the the lines of supply and the lines of communication for the ukrainians are doomed and what really in matters for the Russian is that in parallel to all that without transferring troops from the donbass front line they are advancing very very fast to pokrovsk and if they take it it's absolutely essential because they're going to cut the main hub for the supplying nines that go to the ukrainians are still controlling parts of dbas from KV to the parts of dbas so um psk make fall in the next uh let's say could be few days or maybe three four weeks three four weeks maximum that would be what mid September before uh uh late September perfect the timing couldn't be better would be like one month before the brick Summit in Kaza you know so so in in terms of timing for the Russians everything is perfect they have two very very important geoeconomic and geopol political Forum next month I'll be there I'll be following both September early September is the Vlad volto forum and mid October is the okay the holy grave the bricks Forum in Kaza so the Russians have everything necessary to arrive at the bricks Forum with a lot of Solutions on the battlefield regarding Ukraine which they can show to the other bricks uh the discussions on dollarization are progressing of course another extremely complicated DOA but they are advancing little by little I'll be uh H I'll have a briefing for you guys next time starting with my return to Russia next week and of course this will be uh less than one months before the American elections in early no November and you can imagine the desperation on the American side looking at what's happening in the black soil of nov Rosia everywhere thus the extremely worrying possibility which is already telegraphed by those Kev goons was picked up by everybody uh a nuclear attack or a dirty bomb against saporia or ksk or B which this would be the the post Hil Mary pass the definitive aary pass of this regime before they collapse completely so uh for all of us this is even more worrying because it fulfills more or less uh the expectation that we had at the beginning of Summer that this would be an incendiary summer for all practical purposes I wrote a column that the title if I remember well is that the summer of Living Dangerously we are right in the middle of the summer of living danger including the possibility of a dirty bomb attack by the ukrainians which is something completely absurd and stupid because if they launch a dirty bomb it will be traced back to them an you know analysis will inevitably reveal that this was an Ukrainian dirty bomb but this I would say this uh gives to all of you the the you know out of control level of dementia of these people in bankova in K of course supported by those uh mathematics deprived NATO generals that's where we are at the moment so the the summer of living danger has not even started yet and the summer ends next month yeah yes yeah I I mean that's kind of the it seems like the move here is that there is this desperation and as you said there's plans that are being revealed or at least speculated upon but likely it's quite likely that Russia knows that there are were plans that were being undertaken by Ukraine of course always with NATO Direction on these nuclear power plants and so I mean maybe finally to close on the kers question how do you believe this will affect uh the multi-polar world of course Russia is one of the major leaders if not the major leader of this new emerging World Order and uh you know now we have a situation where there is these talks about secret peace talks that Russia of course have smacked down as false but and they are as far as Russia yeah and but Russia is saying absolutely no no peace talks from here moving forward so so how how how does K fit into this overall trend because it seems like the desperation is leading closer and closer to a direct almost like nuclear confrontation between uh NATO and Russia by extension the multi-polar world well uh we can say that in a sense Putin maybe thinking of applying a parallel sunu maneuver to what the Iranians are doing with the talmudic genocides in Israel and Gaza leave them waiting you know uh strategic ambiguity not telegraphing or moves war of nerves this is completely rattling destabilizing Israel and if Russia does something similar similar apart from what they do actually on the ground in Nova Rosia which is slow Advanced Russia style supported by a tsunami of artillery crawling crawling but conquering one Village every day or every two days or every three days but in terms of okay if you try another red line provocation we have not even answered for KK yet and if you try another one which will be the dirty bomb get ready but get ready for what nobody knows strategic ambiguity once again which seems to be a very good strategy when you're dealing with lunatics in uh Israel and Gaza and in Kev NATO it's different brands of lunatics with different ideological pension and uh different levels of a cosmic ideological dementia but still lunatics uh and in desperation desperation on both Corners desperation total desperation in Tel Aviv total desperation in Kev and I would say total desperation in Brussels at the headquarters of NATO in Brussels the Americans of course they are looking at the whole scene far away uh as they are not directly involved they let's see theoretically the facto they are but theoretically they are not because this is a new from the point of view of the am this is an European War this is Slavs killing Slavs very far away the other they don't care and the main victims will be Europe not the US so this is the perfect War if it keeps going this way from an America from Gonic American point of view the problem is in terms of what they're going to sell to the electorate in November there's nothing to sell the only thing in front of them is a massive NATO defeat and everything that the Democrats have been been doing during this let's call it Biden combo administration because Biden was never the president of the United States for the past three and a half years he was the Biden combo has led to this right so there's nothing to sell and now that clerks is going down and will go down in a matter of weeks even the Hail Mary pass they cannot they cannot sell it so that's that's why the level of desperation is reaching a cresendo where we can have an absolutely crazy decision by the Americans by these ailos in the Deep state that are running policy okay uh let the dogs of demena roll for good and that and that's of course is the the dirty bomb option right it's it's look the the more we look into it how did we come to this how did the the whole planet let things get to this point but when we when when we look at what at West Asia and we see the genocide still going on live in front of everybody and nothing happens apart from this pitiful ah ceasefire negotiation without the Palestinians which is beyond a joke can you imagine ceasefire negotiation with katar Egypt and us and Israel doesn't even qualify as a joke and the Americans will be trying to sell this as a Seas f a real Seas F yeah look uh not even Kafka Denny would be able to script something like this really well yeah go ahead yes go no no no I I I'm glad that you have raised the question of Gaza uh because you have just written a really I think important article in the Cradle about how three bricks countries we're talking about Russia China and Iran have been coordinating navigating dealing and Wheeling around what has transpired over the last several months especially Israel's incredible dangerous aggression in Lebanon in Iran which has left the entire Collective West kind of holding its breath about what might happen could you talk about what exactly Russia and Iran in particular we can begin and then of course uh bring in China but you had so much important information for people to understand and know about this boning relationship and how it relates to what Israel is doing and and really now a lot of these recent moves our response to Israel that's that's pretty massive and I think is not getting enough attention so Pepe to you I'm Shing but IND us is not getting attention at all all of us who follow American mainstream media of course first of all because they don't understand the character of the interlocking strategic Partnerships Russia China Iran they simply don't get it and even the think tanks don't get it well China let's see uh over simplifying of course China is more or less on the diplom in in the let's say in the backyard in the Diplomatic front they are as explicitly saying that they support Palestine they explicitly acknowledge over the phone W and the acting uh Iranian um foreign minister Ali baget excellent Diplomat they had a phone call a week ago and basically when he said look whatever you decide in your response to what Israel did in terms of assassinate uh inan you we got your back this is enormous and it's part of their strategic relationship which is uh energy uh it has military components as well geopolitically of course the fact that Iran wanted to bring uh Russia China sorry wanted to bring Iran into bricks for a long time Etc Iran at the SEO Etc so let's say this is a a Chinese SEO angle of supporting whatever Iran does in West Asia Russia is much more complex because their uh strategic partnership militarily is very very Advanced basically Shu went to Teran two two weeks ago if I'm not mistaken basically to accelerate the signing of their overall strategic partnership including military ultra high level military exchanges of course all those uh Antonov cargo uh planes landing in Iran a few days ago carrying a lot of stuff including practically certain of course no smoking gun from either side because this is Mega top secret certainly the morans BN jamming um those 35 meter high Towers capable of jamming everything anywhere at a range of 5,000 kilometers so the Russia certainly provide Iran with that so in terms of bolstering Iran's aeral defenses this is absolutely Priceless and maybe some extra Hypersonic Mr sarmat Mr Kinga kind of deal that we we don't know about but quite possible considering that Iran they have their own Hypersonic missiles but not as advanced as the Russian missiles and of course the fact that Russia continues to buy tons in in fact tens of thousands of Shahid uh drones from Iran so Iran said okay uh we're going to need this this and this for our response and the Russians said yeah of course basically what I heard last year in Moscow when an Iranian delegation was visiting Moscow and they said look the dialogue was fantastic basically we told the Russians anything you want just ask and vice vers and obviously for the response the way it this is being organized between com a the irgc and other uh focuses nodes of the axis of resistance they're going to need Russ Russian military help of course this has to remain secret because Russia has a tremendous problem when it comes to Israel focus it on the 1 million plus Russian passport holders or double passport holders who live in Israel this is a very very comp at affair because according to the Russian Constitution Russia has to protect them the fact that many of these are hardcore Zionist and with a genocidal mentality makes the problem even more unsolvable but Russia has to deal with that as well so whatever whichever way they choose to help Iran it has to be extremely carefully calculated as carefully calculated as the Iranian and act of of resistance response to the assassination of shuk in Beirut and Han in Teran the rers are not in a hurry I had this conversation these past few days they are not in a hurry at all they already said look we might not do anything if there is a plausible serious ceas fire in God for the moment it's not credible there's the possibility of a ceasefire that Hamas already said no we don't agree because netan Netanyahu all the time is blocking some sort of resolution so this is the only conditions that Iran said that they would not retaliate so they will retaliate but it can be it won't be like we imagined you would not be uh in the first few days and weeks and they could postpone it to September or even to late September or even to a few days before the bricks Summit and anything is possible because the initiative is with Iran and they choose what they going to do how they're going to respond how deep how complex what they can uh what kind of installations they want to to Target so they have the initiative and of course they have this support in the back by Russia and China at different levels geoeconomic geopolitical and diplomatic is already assured so this would be basically a bricks SEO operation for all practical purposes Iran will be responding from the point of view of bricks and SEO to a branch of the forever Wars complex is in Israel uh and what they are doing uh genocid in Gaza so this is very very serious this is a a direct clash between the title of my latest book you against NATO St this is a chapter of Eurasia against NATO St in practice in front of us in front of the whole world to see you know so this requires very careful preparation it will happen but it will happen on Iran's terms and then obviously uh Danny and all of you all bets are off because then there will be the counter response by Israel in anything is possible including a nuclear response Kev style yes yes I think those are the stakes Pepe and you was so interesting one of the reasons why your article is so critical is because it goes over the series of events so important I mean Sergey shu was Inon very quickly I mean very quickly to not only discuss uh what might happen in terms of Iran's retaliation but also to discuss military to military partnersh military relations sewing up both on both sides U what kind of military armaments they're going to be trading essentially with each other and then of course you had this very important meeting too that you mentioned with Mr abas the uh maybe not so legitimate president of the Palestinian Authority but nonetheless you said hours long worth of conversation with Vladimir Putin himself and this comes after The Beijing declaration which Russia also helped engineer with China it was brokered in China but the Beijing declaration both Russia and China been working so hard with Palestinian leadership around how to develop this kind of new Unity government so talk about how these developments also fit into this larger as you said bricks supported bricks aligned support for uh what Iran and of course the rest of the AIS of resistance may do from here and into the future well the the Chinese Dan they took the assassination of Han as a personal affront as a a diplomatic slap on their faces you can cannot do this in Asia and get away with it all of us who have lived in Asia for decades we know this on an everyday basis you know these are the basic rules of uh of life and interaction across Asia you cannot have your interlocutor lose face in such a manner or basically insult him in front of the whole world only a few days after Han was one of the representatives of 14 different Palestinian factions coming to Beijing invited by the Chinese signing the Beijing declaration with one g putting the Chinese stamp of approval and support to the Declaration the Israelis killed the main negotiator of AIS fire in gas well I I I could I could take days explaining to all of you uh presidence in the Chinese diplomatic history and to what happens to people who try to pull pull something of that caliber and if Jenis scan or Jenis scan's hairs were still active in Asia the response would be a pyramid of schools in Israel you know at least but okay we're not there yet but this was taken by the Chinese as a personal affront so that's why they are even more implicated in diplomatic Chinese style uh supporting everything concerning Palestine Palestinian Unity palestin efforts and of course the Iranian response to what uh what Israelis did with the assassination of an and of course R Russia and China they discuss these among them and of course they discuss with the Iranian leadership as well we can um of course it's not practically established but those phone calls between wangi and lavro now they involve the acting Iranian foreign minister alib Bika they already appointed agachi for as a new but but was not confirmed by parli yet so for the moment the top Diplomat in Iran a negotiator of very very serious stuff is bik extremely competent and I'm sure they are talking he's talking to lavro and wangi you know fulltime absolutely fulltime just like VAV talk fulltime about southeast Asia for instance for instance last late last months they were here at The Summit in in Laos uh the East Asian Summit and they had a bilateral that lasted practically half a day discussing southeast Asia they discussed West Asia on practically on a daily basis as well but the thing is how to calibrate this response to a point where they're not uh the the counter response by Israel not only will bleed Iran but could bleed Russia and China in several ways you know uh further on down the road or immediately so so that that's the complication and we we we can more or less understand that from the point of view of this bricks Trio a response by Iran before the bricks Summit would be essential because this will go to the bricks Summit and be presented to the other bricks and to the the countries that are invited as observers and as part of the mechanism called bricks Outreach uh in kazang in October the top bricks can explained to all of them look this is the stakes that we we are all facing because the war on the other side is a war against all of us it's a war against bricks it's a war against EUR integration it's a war against bricks it's a war against the Shanghai Corporation organization it's a war against the Asia economic Union it's a war against the belt and Road initiative corridors of u h trade and communication it's a war against the international north south Transportation Corridor Russia Iran and India so it's a war against Eurasia as a whole and of course the other bricks will would not put Brazil into it because Brazil is now in such a pathetic foreign policy condition I prefer not even to talk the uh the disappointment of uh Lula D Silva supporting new elections in Venezuela certainly ring very loud in my head very loud in your head I prefer not even to not even talk about that because I could I could derail and go too hardcore that's not yeah but people who read my telegrams and uh the people that I quote from Brazil in my telegrams they know exactly what I'm talking about right uh well I'll have a chance to see it by myself in um November I'm going to for to the G20 in Rio in November so then I'll have a the big local picture about of that but basically to all of you uh one information is enough I'm sure you remember we we have discussed this here in the past the famous visit by Jake Sullivan to Brazil uh before Lula U was elected with a list so Lula has to follow the list if it doesn't he toast and he knows it so this is very very sad this is very very sad because there's no sovereignty involved so Brazil is not a sovereign country at the moment unfortunately it pains me deeply to acknowledge that but these are the facts right well what can be presented to the bricks as a and the bricks uh guests in uh October is could be something construed as a bricks response to what Israel is doing against Iran and even against Palestine and very important all of you guess who's going to be one of the guests of the bricks Summit in this Outreach mode Palestine so Palestine will be in Kazan in October sitting on the same table with all the bricks and all the bricks guests so this tells you everything you need to know about who's supporting whom yes yes indeed uh so Pepe I wanted to also just maybe just briefly before we move on um you know everything you were saying is so interesting to note because not only I mean we've seen it with Ukraine we've seen zalinski get the very cold shoulder from uh this particular this bricks Trio Russia Russia of course but China and Iran as well but we're also seeing it I believe also with Israel because as you're talking about all these developments what came up in my mind was Netanyahu has not been to Beijing has not been to Moscow there has been no coordination and in fact what you've heard actually from Israeli media and and some of Israel's absolutely bat crazy um officials is they're not happy with neither with either Russia or China so your your final words on this before we move on well look it's very important to remember that China and Israel do a lot of business so but at the moment everything is on hold especially after this slap in the in Chinese face uh the hone assassination so I'm sure that the Chinese are Recon obviously you won't read that in Chinese media this is this is ex these are decisions at the highest level and they are strategic decisions very very serious but China is certainly re-evaluating their business relations with Israel there's no question about that and they are paying attention to their relations with the Arab world as a whole and to all the lands of Islam which are much more important for China as um we can say self-described leader of the global South they consider themselves China doesn't consider itself a developed country it considers itself a developing country leader of the one of the leaders of the global South and obviously when you when you think about 1.8 at least billion Muslims all over the world China is looking at the lands of Islam as partners as supporters as diplomatic partners and supporters in asset trade uh Partners as well very very important and of course in terms of solidifying the global presence of China as a First Rate diplomatic conciliatory uh geopolitical play so obviously in the this hurricane let's put it this way uh that sing swirling around inside the hurricane Israel they are Recons seriously reconsidering their relations with Israel and Russia like we said uh a few minutes ago it's much more complicated because of this one one million plus Russian Uh russophones Russian speakers Russian passport holders or double passport holders and Russia simply cannot abandon them in the middle of um genocide land so uh for for both of these actors the the challenges are very different although the decisions the Strategic decisions at the highest level are taking in tandem of course but they have to look around for you know the this um VAR ations this uh you know dem multiplying problems but uh we can expect from the Chinese a much more forceful position regarding the genocide and regarding Palestine because now they are directly implicated now they have their name in the signature with the beIN declaration it's their responsibility you know so it's much more active until uh what a ago was not like that so this this is a game changer in a sense yes indeed so Pepe I know that you have uh time constraints so I want to get to the final story here that I wanted to cover with you and that is Asia because you've been traveling throughout Asia yeah and one of the things that's so interesting about this moment Pepe is that we have of course this burining and increasingly hot conflict between NATO and Russia in Ukraine we also have of course this burining hot conflict between Iran and Israel the aess of resistance in Israel in West Asia but not a lot of attention to the Bing us China hot conflict that is emerging but we do have and I wanted do reaction to this there is a gentleman who owns a very very very important Corporation um um and and ultimately neocon uh Mr Alex karp he owns he's the owner of paler which is the CEO of paler yes the CEO of paler and he has just come out with an very interesting statement with the New York Times where of course he's been caught his Corporation has been caught feeding data to Israel to help it commit its genocide in Gaza but he is saying that Russia China and Iran all need to be targets of what he literally says is a three front War so this is the mentality I mean this is the mentality of these military contractors so-called data miners intelligence contractors yeah it reflects the neocon mentality Pepe so you're yes exactly Peter alexp is nobody this is Peter teal speaking yes yes and we know who Peter T is supporting in the next elections we do Mr Mr Vance and his Superior Donald Trump so Pepe talk about this three front War project because um it's not talked about right now like this given that the headlines are saturated with what Israel is doing and of course what NATO is doing Ukraine uh well this is a new declination of the new axes of evil what karp is saying uh what Peter T is saying through the mouth of karp is that the Deep state is already preparing a three front war against the new axes of evil this is the real headline uh you showed this showed up on Fortune Magazine Fortune Magazine will never print a headline like that never but this is the real headline so uh in terms of the uh existential threats to the unipolar moment this has already been established for a while now and now it's doing the rounds in what our friend Ray mov called the missim mat the industrial military Congressional intelligence media Academia Think Tank complex uh and trying to uh establish the new narrative that uh uh okay Russia is absolutely horrible our next war is going to be against China because they're also horrible but in fact it's a three War because these three are very very horrible so this is the new declination of the AIS of evil 1.0 in 20 and2 which was Iran Iraq and North Korea so now it's the three not by accident three bricks three SEO and the three leaders of the drive towards a multi-polar multi noodel different nodes world so you know in fact when I read that sing said oh really okay they should have published this last year already it's a bit late in fact everybody knows that but the problem is the people who don't they're going to start obviously freaking out with the fact that um $35 trillion in deped um economy is speaking of fight with a a trio with zero possibility of winning which is this American Obsession and we need to win you won't win against anything you cannot win against the hooes in babal MB and Red Sea can you imagine picking these three at the same time with the Hypersonic missiles of Russia and Iran it's a joke so uh but this tells us the mentality of this prominent C of the industrial military complex that they are already fantasizing just as they never cease to fantasize on how they're going to undermine uh and uh weaken Russia even before the start of the Ukraine project in in 2014 there you go they never they never learn Danny and every body else and it's sometimes it's so it's so pathetic to look at at it all assuming they're going to survive the internal collapse of the United States which could happen as early as early next year if not before the end of this year um this larval Civil War inside the West which can explode at any minute uh the mega trillions of dollars that they owe that they the only way to zero this thing would be to provoke a World War and then we start getting an inkling of an answer yes they want a World War to zero everything and start all over again assuming that they're going to survive this world war which they won't and everybody knows that and that's famous putting um okay that's that's brilliant we are we're going to uh we're going to die as Martyrs but but they're going to die simply and that's what's going to happen if it happens you know exactly and well what's so interesting about what karp right nothing a nothing as you said and of course Peter teal speaking through him what's so interesting about it is he literally says it's it's almost as if you know there there is no grasp on reality he says are we Tough Enough we I'm I'm guessing the United States to scare our adversary so we don't go to war do the Chinese Russians and Persians think we are strong Persians meaning Iranians okay he doesn't want to say Iranians obviously the president needs to tell them if you cross these lines this is what we're going to do and then you have to enforce it now karp and paler is coming out in full support of Biden and Harris but Pepe elaborate on this idea of first of all trying to project rength but as you said there is no Victory here because a Russia China Iran War uh leads very much to the opposite so so H how does it lead to the opposite though because I think uh there are many who still do believe the US's ultimate superiority well I'll give you I'll give you Danny and all of you one example of American power nowadays and how American strengths intimidates the whole planet the hooes in the Red Sea that's it that's my exhibit a and I don't need an exhibit B there you go you know that's the short answer yes yes indeed yeah and that's what's so striking about this Pepe is that it there is this almost uh just absolute uh uh misinterpretation of the Their Own Strength um I'm curious though given your travels in Asia thus far what have people been saying in Thailand those your contacts what do they say in Thailand and other places that you've been able to visit about this bony War because it does include I mean we're talking about a three front War you have Chinese and Philippines vessels getting into pretty major confrontations at this point you have of course Taiwan and the rest of the military situation attempts to color revolution in Bangladesh I mean um Asia is also on fire uh so what what what do people say to you about this if you ask them well before talking to you Danny today I was writing a column more or less about that I was writing a column about color Revolutions in Southeast Asia and South Asia they they attempted a color Revolution tion recently in Thailand didn't work Thailand in fact now has a new prime minister tax's daughter she's 37 minimal political experience and taxing is back with the bang in Thailand it's fascinated it happened last week and uh he came back from Exile he was he was he never went to jail and then this past weekend there was a royal pardon for the multiple political ation against him so now he's back and because he is a conservative uh and he's relatively Clos to the monarchy uh the possibility of a color revolution in Thailand from now one is more or less uh let's say discarded at least medium-term the Americans will try in myammar they are actively trying in Myanmar they are financing ethnic minority Rebel groups in AR against the government and I was writing about that as well and obviously at the latest uh aan Summit they all discussed all that and this week this past week I'm sorry W was here W was in myamar and here in Thailand H he was here about the Mong uh group of countries in in Southeast Asia where they they have a project of sustainable development along the mikong riv but he was also talking to the diplomats in U uh in Southeast Asia and after that this was after he talked to lavro last uh month sorry late last month in La during the East Asia Summit and all these conversations they're more or less the same te W La they say openly look our Southeast Asian Partners understand perfectly what is the Americans game to counter Russia and China to counter us and to erect a wall between us and you Southeast Asians the aan 10 so everybody knows that uh everybody knows that except the fifth columnists like the Philippines but nobody pays attention to the Philippines especially now only as a fifth columnist provoking China so uh what w and La had telling their uh uh Southeast Asian interlocutors look guys you have to get closer and closer to our system which is the multipolar uh reorganization of the world this means we're going to bring you into bricks several of you at least half of usan uh we we we're going to get more deals with EUR economic Union which has already free trade deals with some asan members um SEO you should be observers at the SEO uh we support more projects belon Road China belon road across southeast Asia so asan is getting closer and closer to this Matrix of the multilateral organizations bricks SEO economic Union belon Road initiative Etc and uh everybody at the highest level understand that the Americans will keep trying to provoke color revolutions across the Spectrum as they will keep trying in the Caucasus in Central Asia they will also continue in Southeast Asia especially now that they have an enormous success in South Asia and that brings us to the Bangladesh color Revolution that was so easy to set up minimalistically easy I would say using all the shenanigans that we know about color revolutions everywhere and it worked and at the same time was a color Revolution against two bricks at the same time was against China and against India against India to give them problems in the Bay of Bengal to apply pressure to the Indians and say look uh you stay in our area of influence get serious about quad or we're going to destabilize the Bay of Bengal and we're going to destabilize you and in China even more complicated because they it's an direct attack on one of the corridors of the new six roads the BCI Corridor Bangladesh China India myamar so the Americans are trying to a color a sort of color revolution in Myanmar financing ethnic Rebel groups and Myanmar don't forget neighbor of Bangladesh they have a successful color revolution in Bangladesh so you know they won't they simply won't sleep until they destabilize what we can consider the most important country in asan strategically Thailand over here for the moment there's no chance but the American presence here in Thailand is enormous very very powerful infiltrated everywhere uh the monarchy looks at them with uh whoops uh we have to keep these guys under control just to give an example my neighbor here on the other side of the street is the new JP Morgan Tower so I my my my next door neighbors are Deutsche Bank Tower and finally when I came this time the new JP Morgan Tower is erect over there fascinated and JP Morgan here is extremely powerful so they won't give up and this is the problem um on a color Revolution front everybody here in Southeast Asia know how powerful they are on a military uh military strength front which is the stupidity in this uh Alex carp article people say no it's a joke come on and they they have nothing to do here in our region which by the way everybody here uh here in Hong Kong in southern China uh you know in the Indonesian archipelago in the middle of the jungles of borell whatever a Asia Pacific which is denomination of this whole region nobody knows what is indo nobody has a clue what is indo Pacific this thing doesn't exist it reminds me of Vietnam when they used to call Vietnam andina China exactly when the French were still uh ruling in the China so so this there is a dichotomy between U uh countries here being fearful of American soft power and the power to provoke color revolutions and looking at their real military potential as a joke everybody was paying attention to the hooes in the Red Sea everybody and everybody took notes so that's the difference Denny it's it's it's complicated because they will keep trying uh for Indonesia Indonesia there's a new new government Indonesia they they are inaugurating a new capital in the jungles of Bourne which is an incredibly challenging project and so fascinating Indonesia is going to be one of the big powers of the of the 21st century so the Americans they cannot try anything too radical over there because there's no audience for for their call Revolution but Thailand and Myanmar are top targets and will continue to be top top targets and Bangladesh we don't know what's going to happen next yeah yeah no I mean this is what they tell us to our faces Pepe they say yes we are going to use alliances we're going to build alliances to undermine and contain China and of course the rest of what is quickly becoming of the Asian Century the rest of Asia as an attemp to but you know it as much as it causes this chaos in in instability we're also seeing just major blows to this uh not not just in uh what you were covering Pepe but also uh even you know as we speak we have Vietnam's uh General Secretary of the Communist Party tolam he is he he went to Beijing first exactly also huge bricks candidate so you know the top five Asian nations are bricks candidate Singapore is different Singapore as we know is a basically a warehouse and it's a a mini Island doesn't count although they have enormous uh basically Financial power because the International Financial system uses Singapore as one of their bases and of course a lot of money laundry there's a lot of elicit money from all over Asia sleeping in Singapore Banks that's a different story but they are not a major asan power you cannot compare it with Vietnam Indonesia Thailand for instance these are and Malaysia these are all bricks candidates yes and in Vietnam when I was there there was absolutely no appetite I was I went to a veterans association I went to people who have connections to the military they like color Revolution not ever going to happen here they they were like like oh yeah we have this little opposition they're taken care of so that's so that's the uh that's the trend and you know Pepe any final comments before I think we're gonna head out of here together so any final comments uh well I'm going on a surprise trip but after the trip I can tell you guys because this is going to be quite something uh no it's not Lebanon because they told me it's too risky to go uh to the border now and even if if I could go with some Hezbollah people on the border it's extremely risky at the moment so so it's it's let's say it's um not exactly a neighbor but you'll know soon and next week I'll be in Moscow so then I I can I will be able to tell you a lot of stuff from what's really going on in m and at the moment is wow right we'll have next month we'll have to connect next month um we're gonna head out of here together we'll have to connect next month because I'll also be coming back bril
