The Rising Threat of Drone Warfare

Timestamp: [01:03] - [02:16]

Jack Posobiec opens the discussion by highlighting the increasing vulnerability of U.S. military assets to drone attacks. He references a recent Ukrainian assault on the Kuril Strait Bridge, a strategic link between Crimea and mainland Russia, employing underwater unmanned vehicles.

• Posobiec: "The United States of America is currently vulnerable and these idiots in Washington are escalating us towards World War Three. This is ridiculous. It is irresponsible." [01:03]

Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer corroborates these concerns, emphasizing the sophistication and planning behind such drone strikes, while questioning the actual impact versus media portrayals.

• Schaefer: "A lot of the footage we've been given is from dates not relevant to this one. ... they hit a number of, significant number of TU 95 Bear Bombers, which are part of the strategic nuclear force of the Russian nuclear triad." [08:23]

Information Warfare vs. Ground Realities

Timestamp: [07:22] - [13:02]

The conversation shifts to the dichotomy between the information presented by media outlets and the on-ground realities of the Ukraine-Russia conflict. Posobiec criticizes the mainstream narrative that portrays Ukraine as the aggressor, while Schaefer argues that Russia is employing a war of attrition aimed at demilitarizing Ukraine.

• Posobiec: "Once again we, we see that, that one side is winning in the information narrative. One side is winning the information war and another side is winning the actual war on the ground." [11:04]

• Schaefer: "This is not a war of maneuver. This is not a war of blitzkrieg. It's a war of attrition." [12:55]

Dr. Steve Turley adds that propaganda efforts are aimed at convincing the American public of Ukraine's unwinnable position, thereby justifying continued U.S. support.

The Deep State and Escalation Towards Global Conflict

Timestamp: [15:24] - [20:52]

Posobiec and Schaefer discuss the influence of the "deep state" and neoconservative elements within the U.S. military-industrial complex that may be pushing toward escalating the Ukraine conflict, potentially dragging the U.S. into a larger global war.

• Posobiec: "They are exposing themselves to extended risk by sending folks forward in offensive operations which expose you to additional drones... The United States is vulnerable." [20:52]

• Schaefer: "President Trump, he was not voted in to escalate this conflict. He was voted in to de-escalate it." [19:27]

Globalism vs. Nationalism: The Battle for International Order

Timestamp: [26:29] - [34:50]

The discussion broadens to examine the clash between globalist institutions and rising nationalist movements. Schaefer critiques the liberal international order upheld by organizations like the IMF, WTO, and NATO, suggesting that President Trump's policies are dismantling this structure in favor of bilateral agreements and national sovereignty.

• Schaefer: "NATO is intrinsic to that order... they're trying to resurrect the relevance of these institutions." [26:29]

• Posobiec: "We've seen this rejection of globalism now in Poland, huge rejections of globalism in Hungary... President Trump's election was also predicated on this idea of ending the march towards World War Three." [29:03]

The Role of BRICS and Multipolarity in Global Politics

Timestamp: [37:10] - [39:54]

Posobiec highlights President Trump's strategic engagements with BRICS nations, particularly targeting South Africa to weaken the group's cohesion. Schaefer explains that BRICS represents a challenge to the established global order, and Western leaders are taking steps to counteract this shift.

• Posobiec: "He's picking at a wound that he knows will create issues for the Chinese, will create issues for the Russians as well." [34:34]

• Schaefer: "BRICS is basically a parallel G7... Trump was very effective in telling Mohammed bin Salman... why don't we do business together." [37:10]

Public Sentiment and Future Projections

Timestamp: [40:40] - [41:02]

Concluding the episode, Schaefer and Turley emphasize the waning influence of globalist ideologies and the resurgence of nationalist sentiments. They predict a continued decline of institutions like the WTO and IMF, arguing that the United States is moving towards a more isolated yet economically robust stance.

• Schaefer: "The deep state escalating us towards World War Three... it's over, it's dead, it's gone." [29:03]

• Turley: "If President Trump doesn't get Putin and Zelensky into a room and sit them down... [Russia] will decide... to implement a military solution." [19:36]

Jack Posobiec wraps up the episode by reaffirming the need for awareness and action against the vulnerabilities and systemic forces that may be leading the United States toward unintended global conflicts. The discussions underscore a critical view of current geopolitical strategies, advocating for a shift towards national sovereignty and cautious engagement in international conflicts.
