Ukraine and Russia today met for the second time in two weeks to discuss peace but walked away without any progress toward ending ending the war. The fighting is as intense as ever and this weekend Ukraine launched an unprecedented attack launching drones deep inside Russia to target Russian bombers.
Jack Posobic
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily. Here live. Washington D.C. today is June 3, 2025 Anno Domini. Another Ukrainian attack on the Kurt Strait bridge. This is the key bridge connecting Crimea to the Russian homeland, the Russian mainland and this bridge has been targeted multiple times throughout the war. Ukrainians this time attacking with an underwater bomb. We're told in the past they used a terrorist style attack with a truck bomb, killing the trucker that had been smuggled in across the across essentially the the, the back route into Crimea. This likely employed the use of underwater unmanned vehicles, essentially seaborne drones. And in order to get the bomb to where it was. Now, the piling. The drone attack, which took place reportedly on Russian strategic bombers, part of their nuclear triad over the weekend. And what we need to understand is separate the fact from fiction here. There are forces within the west, forces within NATO. There are forces, yes, within Western governments, to include the United States and United Kingdom, that do not want this war and all of these wars to end. Did you think that they would just let you end the war? Did they think that they would just let peace win? There's no money in peace. There's no profit in peace. What big military and big war wants is more. And they don't care If World War 3 kicks off because they sit back and say, well, guess what? We can sell munitions to both sides. The world just woke up over the weekend to the massive drone vulnerabilities that all of our Air Force fleets now face. It's not just the Russians. Guess who else is vulnerable to that. And I said on Twitter yesterday, what happens when the Chinese drones take off from all of the farmland that they purchased right next to our Air Force bases and the targeting that they have from the balloon that the Chinese flew across our strategic bases? Are you waking up? 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. And they are sitting back and acting like it's a joke, like it's all some kind of game. This isn't a game. This is all of our lives. This is our family's lives. This is our children's lives, the lives of our generation and the generations to come. We will stop this war and we're not going to stop talking about it. Jack Posobic right back. And what America first truly means. Welcome to the second American revolution. All right, Jack Posobic, we are back here. Human events daily when we bring in real America's voice as well as the third hour of the Charlie Kirk show on the Salem Radio Network. The deep state escalating us towards World War three as the United States is vulnerable and our fleets are vulnerable to drone swarm attack. Folks, listen up because I got to tell you real quick, if you are still drinking that corporate watered down nonsense you call coffee, it's time for a serious wake up call. Blackout coffee isn't just coffee. It's a statement, a declaration that you're done with weak beans and weak values. We're talking high octane American roasted fuel for those who grind harder, stand taller, and never back down. Look, I love this stuff. No jet lag over here. How do you get no jet lag? Poso? It's because of blackout coffee. Blackout coffee isn't playing games. They're cranking out more bags than ever, shipping faster than ever, and keeping you locked in with coffee that actually fires you up. Whether you're chasing big goals, crushing the daily grind, or just refusing to drink coffee made by people who hate you, blackout coffee has your back. Go. Stop settling. Go to blackout coffee.composto and use promo code POSO for 20% off your first order. Brew like a patriot brew. Blackout. That's blackout coffee.com posto. So stop waiting and wake up. Very excited. Now. We're going to be doing an entire intel briefing on what's going on vis a vis Ukraine. And what better way to do that than to bring on one of our best military analysts, at least in terms of guests on the show. We have some hosts around here that are pretty good at the military analysis stuff as well. Folks is Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer.
Dr. Steve Turley
Hey, Jack. Good to see you.
Jack Posobic
Tony, I've got to ask you. So these, these attacks that Ukraine has been conducting in what would be considered non battlefield targets, I think back in the Russian, deep within Russian lines, behind Russian lines, the Kerch Strait Bridge. Bridge. I believe this is the third it's been attacked since the war has commenced. These, these Russian bombers. Now here's an interesting question. The attacks get a lot of headlines, but as an intel officer, or even back when I was a junior intel analyst, the first question that I have after I see a strike like this is bda. What's the bda? That was the training that I always received. What is the battle damage assessment? Is this operational? Is it in operational? Is it repairable? Is it still at full capacity? Is that diminished capacity? How long is it going to take to get it back online? Or do we have total destruct? And in some of these cases, it feels like the headlines are a little bit separated from the reality that's actually on the ground. Tony, what's your read on it?
Dr. Steve Turley
Well, the first thing you have to do to get to the BDA is get through the propaganda. And so what you've seen is no doubt this was a masterful attack. I'm not going to diminish the, the amount of, of gumption and planning it took to get those drones into those targets all the way to Siberia. With that said, we have to evaluate what we see A lot of the footage we've been given is from dates not relevant to this one. That is to say, these were these, these. The vision, the videos of the strikes aren't necessarily related to the, the Spiderweb project. They're old or from different locations, from different times. And what I'm, what I'm seeing is an amplification, primarily by the British media, to make everybody believe there was something like 7 to 9 billion dollars of damage done. I've seen that figure. It's like. Yeah, that's not, that's not relevant. Was there significant damage done? Yeah, they hit a number of, a significant number of TU 95 Bear Bombers, which are part of the strategic nuclear force of the, of the Russian nuclear triad. So was that significant? Yeah, but it wasn't anywhere near as significant as we were being led to believe. So we can't even get to the BDA until we figure out what exactly the damage was because we're not really being told at what it was. And secondly, why are we not being told? Well, the amplification here, Jack, is because we are supposed to buy into this idea as Americans that the Ukrainians, oh yeah, they can still beat the Russians. They're not licked. And if they can do this with $40 million, imagine what they could do with several more billion. In other words, they're trying to both disrupt the peace process, which we know they're doing openly, and trying to eventually convince us, the United States, that the Biden policy was the correct policy to give them unlimited money. And I do a lot of research, you know, that I do a lot of show prep. There's Constant videos on YouTube talking about how brave the Ukrainian soldiers are and how they've adapted technology. So there's a full blown charm campaign against us, focused on us. So this fifth generation warfare, it's being directed on us. Lindsey Graham's part of it. I just don't think it's going to work.
Jack Posobic
Yeah, once again we, we see that, that one side is winning in the information narrative. One side is winning the, the information war and another side is winning the actual war on the ground.
Dr. Steve Turley
Right.
Jack Posobic
Because when I go and look at the front lines over in Eastern Ukraine, when I look at Donetsk, Lugansk or some of these areas of Sumai or around Harkov, other areas that have been under dispute between the Russians and the Ukrainians, I don't see the Ukrainians making advances on the battlefield. I see the Russians making advances and, and by the way, not in these huge, you know, the, the barrel runs the blitzkrieg attacks that you would see from an American military perspective or NATO perspective, it is slow encirclement operations and slowly and slowly grinding them down.
Dr. Steve Turley
So let me hit that because I see this constant demunition by certain voices within conservative media about how effective the Russians are. Jack Keane was on the other day talking about almost dismissive. They've. They've been fighting to take Ukraine for the past three years, and it's. And they're still not doing it. It's like, Jack, that's not what they're trying to do. This is. This is not a war of maneuver. This is not a war of blitzkrieg. It's a war of attrition. And the Russian objective is to degrade and the basically dis. Demilitarize Ukraine and the West. So that's what they're doing. They're doing it slow and methodic because the Ukrainians keep throwing stuff against their defenses and degree and losing. So why.
Jack Posobic
It's, it's attrition warfare. And we don't, we don't understand attrition warfare because we don't practice.
Dr. Steve Turley
When Jack says they're not winning, it's like you don't understand what they're doing if you say that. And that that's a bad sign.
Jack Posobic
Right. So they've created essentially a position where they can take up strong positions in the east. And rather than focus on taking land, the focus is actually on detriting and attriting the Ukrainian military.
Dr. Steve Turley
Exactly.
Jack Posobic
Because they know that it doesn't matter how many weapons and artillery and ammunition and the rest of it. And I would. Look, I was just in the region. I was in Zezov, Poland, which is right on the border. My family lives right on the Ukrainian border with Poland. We were just there a week ago. And, and all of that ammunition, the NATO. The NATO supplies that are running through Zhaozhou and then also through Romania and other spots into. Into Ukraine. That's that. Okay. Even if that didn't stop. And of course, that's another piece of this as well, with President. Regarding President Trump. On the other side of it is that doesn't matter if you don't have the soldiers, because it requires soldiers to hold land. There is. There are no amount of drones that can actually hold territory and occupy territory. That's not how that works. There's incredible things you can do with technology, but it doesn't matter how many Starlinks you have or how many drones you have, you cannot hold territory without soldiers. And so what the Russian military is doing is saying, well, we may not have the technological advantage, but we do have the, the battlefield advantage in terms of numbers. So that's what our focus is on. We're not going to fight the technology, we're going to fight the soldiers. Tony Schaefer, we've got a quick break coming up, but I want to hold you over because this is so important and people need to understand the danger of the escalation here. If we climb up that escalatory ladder with the Russians and walk away from this peace deal, which I think is, it's in the works. But I keep saying this, this is not going to, to break. The deadlock will not be broken. The loggerheads are the situation right now until President Trump and President Putin are able to hash this out together. Quick break right back. Jack Posobic, Salem Radio Network, Real America's Voice today, you know, they talk about influencers. These are influences and they are friends of mine. JACK so where's Jack?
Dr. Steve Turley
JACK he's got a great job.
Jack Posobic
Jack Posobic back live here, Human Events Daily, Real America's Voice, Alem Radio Network. We're on with Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer. We're talking about the war of attrition in Ukraine and the propaganda war that is being waged across the information outlets right now. Ukraine is currently winning the information war, but the question is, are they winning the war of attrition? And the war of attrition works like this. It's not about taking land, it's about taking lives. And so when people look at the map on a day to day basis, they'll say wait a minute, Russia can't be winning. Look, Ukraine has held them to this pocket in the east. Well, the question on the other side is perhaps, but which side has more lives? One side has many more than the other. I want to bring Lieutenant Colonel Schaefer on here. Tony is this what the Russians goal has been all along when they talk about demilitarization? Yes, they want these provinces but they're also not sending and we saw this by the way, with some strategic drawdowns in places like Kherson, switching to the other side of the river where the resupply is more advantageous to them because obviously it's just, it just shares the land border with Russia. Rather than have to go across the river, they're sitting on one side of it. And every time the Ukrainians attempt to cross the Dnieper, they are met with a massive onslaught and barrage. This has been their strategy for the last couple of years and they, they seem to believe time is on their side. I'll just throw another anecdote. I sat down with Prime Minister Viktor Orban last week in Budapest in his presidential palace and the Prime Minister's residence. And absolutely honored to be there. And, and he told me that he went to the Russians and said, will you sue for peace? And the Russians told him, well, we're winning and we have time on our side. And then he went to the Ukrainians and said, will you choose peace? And they told him, we're winning and time is on our side. He said, okay, Tony, which side is right?
Dr. Steve Turley
Well, if they both persist in that attitude, I think it's time for us to decide. Time is time for us to leave. But that's not your question. Your question is who's winning? I think the Russians are winning, and not by a little, by a lot. To your point, the Russians, let me phrase it as a question. Why would you expose yourself to extended risk by sending folks forward in offensive operations which expose you to additional drones. Additional, like you point out doing river crossings, you become vulnerable. Why do that when you, you're basically facing an enemy who is badly advised, badly led, and frankly, people like Mark Milley, you know, a rocket scientist if I ever met one, is telling you stupid things not giving you the right strategy. Why would you want to expose yourself to risk if. If you can just sit back and let them come wave after wave on your strength and lose? I would argue by doing this, they're going to basically leave Ukraine a rump state by the fact that it'll be not only the militarized, it'll be depopulated. The Russians have an order of magnitude more men and resources to throw at this, and they're just sitting there. And so the more Ukraine throws their stuff in there, they have their time, the more they lose time and lose resources. So I don't think it's close. I think the Russians should. They choose to use. Implement a military solution on this, they could be done by July or August.
Jack Posobic
This, and, and by the way, this, this is summer. And two summers ago, Ukraine was talking about their massive counteroffensive. Tony, the Russians, yeah, we, we all.
Dr. Steve Turley
Said it wasn't going to work. Remember that? We said this is not going to work.
Jack Posobic
Do you think the Russians are poised for a breakout right now?
Dr. Steve Turley
I think if they choose to break out, absolutely. I don't think they're going to choose to break down. I think they're going to allow the remainder of Biden approved material and equipment to show up over the next 30 days, get to probably the 1st of June of July. And then once that's done, by the way, the Russians notice already that with less Patriot air defense systems, less stuff to stop their drones, they're being more effective. So why, why risk going at the, the Ukrainian strength when the Russians know it's just a matter of time before they, they run out of stuff? The Russians are going to hang back, Jack, and they're going to hit at the time of their choosing. And I think if things aren't resolved, if President Trump doesn't get Putin and Zelensky into a room and sit them down and try to talk reason with them, the Russians will decide in about 30 days probably to go on, on a breakout towards mid to mid to late July. And I think they will, they will implement a military solution to this. And I don't think they want all Ukraine. They want what they have. They want to turn those into Russian provinces and be wow. And so.
Jack Posobic
Wow. Lt. Col. Schaefer, we're just about out of time. What a note to end on. Where can people follow you t spooky.
Dr. Steve Turley
On Twitter and then project sentinel.com thanks, Jack. Always enjoy our conversations.
Jack Posobic
Absolutely incredible. Please come back soon. Quick break. Right back. Jack, where's Jack? Where's Jack? Where is he? Jack, I want to see you. Great job, Jack. Thank you. What a job you do. You know, we have an incredible thing. We're always talking about the fake news.
Dr. Steve Turley
And the bad, but we have guys.
Jack Posobic
And these are the guys should be getting public back. Live human events daily. You're on Real America's Voice in the Salem radio network. Our three Charlie Kirk folks. Did you know Interesting stat. Over 80% of the U.S. meat industry is controlled by just four country companies. Or that China controls the largest portion of the US Meat industry. It's true. Americans want to know where their food comes from. And we don't want to be reliant on any foreign country for the food we put on our family's tables. That's exactly what Trump's tariff policy is all about, bringing businesses back to Americans and American farms all across the country. That's why Human Events has partnered with Moink. The business is simple. Moink's meat comes from animals raised outdoors where a pig is free to be a pig. You can bring the meat and pick it whatever you want and it's delivered right to your door. Moink's farmers are given an honest day's pay for an honest day's work and they deliver exactly what you want. At prices you can actually afford.

All right, folks, I talked about being in Hungary last week and meeting with Prime Minister Orban. It was incredible event. We were honored to be there. I was certainly honored to be there. But Kevin Posobic was also there because he was doing some on the ground reporting. Turns out that in Hungary there's now a referendum going on nationwide should Ukraine be allowed into the European Union. And this vote is going to be taking place very soon here in Hungary. Kevin Posobic was on the scene to collect some interviews. Here's what we got. Hey, it's Kevin Posobic live in Budapest, Hungary. And we're here at the park today to see if we can get a couple people on. On screen for Vox 2025, it's the Hungarian consensus to see whether or not Ukraine should or shouldn't join the eu. Let's see what we can get into. You don't, you can't agree with. You don't know communism.
Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer
Basically, I'm not against Ukraine joining the eu. Okay, but the question is that when?
Jack Posobic
Well, I'm. Well, I'm ready again.
Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer
Okay, and on what conditions?
Jack Posobic
You know, that's smart answer.
Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer
I think that's the most important question now. Not the yes or no alone, but the. But the conditions.
Jack Posobic
It doesn't have a very good reputation anymore. Zelensky, I would happen to agree with you. Is now the right time should Ukraine join or should we let them join or wait a little longer? That seems to be the consensus that we've gathered so far. You know, we're just getting through Covid. We're still getting through the war with Russia. I don't think they should join or be allowed to join. The people here, Budapest seem to have spoken and we'd like to see an end to the war. We'd like to see peace treaties and we'd like Zelensky to really grow up and if anything, learn how to wear a suit before he does any negotiations in the future. All right, there you have it. That's Kevin Posovic finding out that the people of Hungary are actually not interested in having Ukraine join the eu And Obviously talking about NATO as well. We saw the win of the huge nationalist victory in Poland just a few days ago, where the candidate Novsky, who won, also campaigned on not allowing Ukraine into NATO or the EU. Dr. Steve Turley joins us now to discuss this in all things geopolitical. Dr. Turley. We've seen these escalations over the past 24, 48 hours regarding these attacks in Russia by Ukraine on strategic bombers as well as this key transportation node, obviously a civilian node of the Kirch Strait bridge. But, but flipping back to it and looking at the situation, the huge push is against Ukraine being in NATO and really a push for peace talks. Where does this all shake out? Why are we still seeing a massive push for World War iii?
Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer
Oh my, yeah, wow. You just have so much in that question. Why are we seeing the push in the end? Because we, you know, we are seeing neocons mourn over the prospect of their dying liberal international order. And NATO is intrinsic to that order. NATO is more or less the globalist police force that enforces the order that comes from the three major globalist institutions of the imf, the wto, the World Bank. That's what gave us our kind of rules based order. And when all said and done, I think we could make the argument, certainly it seems that the people that were interviewed would agree with this, but Ukraine more or less became a proxy for that order. They became a proxy for this. Victoria Nuland, State Department Particularly after 2014 and the overthrow of the Yanukovych government with the Maidan revolution. And so there really isn't an independent Kiev responding to the will of the people. It's just a puppet of this larger globalist matrix that Trump is basically shattering as we speak. He's called repeatedly NATO obsolete. He's consigning the WTO to total obsolescence with the emergence of his bilateral trade agreements and tariff policies and the like. The IMF isn't playing much of a role anymore. The World bank isn't playing much of a role. So by what's the only way you could try to resurrect the relevance of these institutions? Trigger Article 5, that that will somehow get NATO and supposedly the world at guards this liberal international order back resurrected. And so they're trying, I think they're trying to goad Putin into, into bombing a NATO country and at least putting Article 5 on the table. I don't think he's going to bite. I don't think he's going to take it. And I don't think most Europeans buy Into this. I think they recognize, as you just Kevin demonstrated there, I think they recognize that when they're dealing with Zelensky and Ukraine, they're not dealing with an actual democratic country. Heck, I don't even. When's the last time they had an election? What, 2019. They're not dealing with a democratic country. They're dealing with a proxy for globalist interests.
Jack Posobic
And, and, and this is what it's all about because we've seen this rejection of globalism now in Poland, huge rejections of globalism in Hungary, a, obviously here in the United States, a massive rejection of globalism. But President Trump's election was also predicated on this idea of ending the march towards World War Three. And yet we still see many of these elements within, whether it be the intelligence community, whether it be elements of the military industrial complex in the United States or really the five Eyes community writ large, which, and I'm, I'm going viral now for a clip I did on War Room yesterday with Steve Bannon saying that there's no way that Ukraine would be able to carry out these, these bombing campaigns, especially these deep targets within Russia, without the knowledge or perhaps and likely the coordination of the five Eyes intelligence apparatus, because that's the only way you could get the strategic, real time targeting information that you would need, only provided by satellites. And only the US and the UK have access to that and capability of that, of that kind of technology. You know, unless Starlink is. They all secretly have cameras on them and maybe Elon's just helping him on the side. I don't think so. But Dr. Turley, do you view this as a, as a potential wedge and attempt to break down these peace talks?
Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer
Absolutely. As a matter of fact, I saw that spot on the War Room. I think I even retweeted it was brilliant. Yeah, I do. Because the peace talks mean the end of the liberal international order. Because these, these peace talks, I think we all recognize these are going to be settled on Russia's terms. Russia is going to keep 20% of the territory. There's no way. They've got the Donbas, they've got Kherson, they've got Zaporizhzha and of course they've got Crimea. That's not going away. And the European leaders from, well, originally Boris Johnson, now to Keir Starmer, they're Macron, they're all saying no. You know, at the beginning they were all saying no, we could even get Crimea, we're going to take Crimea back. It's all nonsense. It's all. I mean, Russia has fortified itself in 20% of Ukraine for right or for wrong. I'm being purely descriptive, not prescriptive. That is just the reality of it. If we're conservatives, we want to deal with reality. Right. And so I think that Trump has made it exactly what you said. He was not voted in to escalate this conflict. Conflict. He was voted in to de escalate it. And unfortunately, I think you're right. I think there's so many neocon Cold War mentality, you know, forces within the deep state and within the military industrial complex to basically do what they, what they can to try to prevent that from happening. If they could stretch this out another four years and maybe get a Democrat in, maybe they can reignite or try to reignite this liberal international order. But as far as I see it, it's over, it's dead, it's gone. It's gone. From the hearts and minds of the vast majority of Westerners, it's gone. It's certainly gone. As far as China is concerned, Russia's concerned, India is concerned, increasingly Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the, the United Arab Emirates. And I think it's just, it's a matter of time before it'll be gone in Washington, D.C. but until. Well, and, and Dr. Do in the meantime.
Jack Posobic
Well, I think that's right and we're up against a quick break here. But one of the interesting, and we'll talk about this in the next segment, one of the interesting takeaways I think I have from President Trump's recent dust up with the South Africans is that Trump, I think, instinctively understands, obviously he cares about the specific issue of the genocide that's taking place in South Africa, but also he's looking at the world through the new lens of multipolarity. Who is the greatest potential parallel structure to the West? Well, it's brics. And who is of course, the weakest link in brics? It's South Africa. So that's why he's targeting them. There's a key geostrategic element to all of this that I think everyone's missing, that this is a way for him to. Now is he, is he, you know, going as hard as he could? No, but he's certainly picking at a wound that he knows will create issues for the Chinese, will create issues for the Russians as well. Why? Because he's locked in negotiations with both of them. People don't look at these things in multiple dimensions, but that's always been one of President Trump's strengths, multi dimensional Thinking that if you target the South Africans and put pressure on them, that indirectly puts creates leverage on China and Russia as well. Because remember, the S in BRICS is South Africa, Jack Posobic, Dr. Steve Turley, breaking down everything, hopefully that's going on in the world. Having some fun while we do a quick break. We'll be right back. Jack is a great guy.
Dr. Steve Turley
He's written a fantastic book.
Jack Posobic
Everybody's talking about it. Go get it. And he's been my friend right from the beginning of this whole beautiful event.

Get ready to launch into the future of freedom at the largest student event in the nation. SAS is back. Join thousands of fellow students ready to pioneer a bold new era for America at our Student Action Summit. And we're bringing in the biggest voices in the movement featuring Charlie Kirk, Tucker Carlson, Steve Banham, Dr. Ben Carson, Congresswoman Anna Paulina, Luna Brandon Brandon Tatum, James O' Keefe, Benny Johnson, Jack Posobic and more from July 11th through 13th in Tampa, Florida. Register now at sas2025.com When I'm working long hours, I'm always listening to Human Events with Jack Bosobic, Jack Pacific. We're back live here. Real America's Voice, Salem Radio Network. We're on with Dr. Steve Turley and we're the host of Turley Talks. And we're also going through how President Trump is guiding the United States through the lens of not just the Ukraine war, but also the Israel Gaza conflict where the administration and I posted a video yesterday on X has been involved with sending aid to the people of Gaza, but also working with both sides there, of course, had been pushing for ceasefire early on the return of the hostages. But Dr. Turley, what we're seeing though, and you just mentioned you hit the nail on the head, these peace talks represent the end of the international liberal order. President Trump, I believe, understands this and is guiding the United States through this, this thicket, this jungle and setting us up to be in a position where we do have Fortress America, where we are strengthened in this new international multipolarity world where we are economically strong, we are no longer dependent on the system of globalization and we can stand on our own two feet. And if you look at his various moves, it seems to be that he's what's what he's setting up the United States for.
Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer
Oh, absolutely, yeah. You'll notice what's so different from what he's doing, what other his predecessors have done. He's not going through the un, he's not going through the imf, he's not going through the wto, he's not going through the world, but he's not going through any international mediary institution. He is dealing with nations one on one, quite literally in front of in the Oval Office. I one of our subscribers said, you know, would it be cool for Trump to do fireside chats like FDR used to do or something? And another one remarked, he already is. It's called Zelensky sitting in the other chair, Ramaphosa sitting in the other chair. Those are his fireside chats. He is dealing with nations bilaterally one by one. But the two major ones, the two other poles in this multipolar world, of course, is Russia and China. And this is great power politics. Again, there's no mediators or anything like this. It's one on one. But at the same time, and you hit the nail on the head in this one, he's also doing his best to pick off any kind of allies that they might get in their sort of parallel world, their parallel structure that's being formed in BRICS, which is basically a parallel G7. About 50% of the world's energies coming from BRICS countries right now. One country that was supposed to join was Saudi Arabia, but but somehow Trump was very effective in telling Mohammed bin Salman, hey, why don't we do business together where you're going to be far more prosperous together with you having unlimited access, the number one mark in the world than if you're working with Russia.
Jack Posobic
Right? And so many people were saying he did it and the media was criticizing him for why are you going to the Middle East? Why are you going to the Saudis? Why are you talking to the Qataris? Why are you doing all this? Because they don't understand moves that he is making because he's so far ahead of them on this chessboard and they are totally still locked into this mindset of the unipolar moment. By the way, you're going to love this. I don't know if you caught this, but so I went and I spoke in Poland. I gave this speech, but. But a few weeks prior to me, they had sent Obama over, as well as Valerie Jarrett and Huma Abbott and Junior Soros. But do you know who else they actually sent over with them? I kid you not. Francis Fukayama himself, himself was actually on the ground. Mr. The end of history. The United States is one and the international. Or can you believe it? Can you believe it?
Dr. Steve Turley
Also.
Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer
Also the author of Second Thoughts, he did write afterward. Yeah, I can't. I mean, you couldn't have scripted that. Talk about the Addams Family of globalism. I mean, there you. You have.
Jack Posobic
Wow.
Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer
Bang, dude. And it's so funny because the way I've heard the term progressive realism used for the media. I love that connection you make. Progressive realism is this notion that, you know, progressivism is just, it's, it's the wave of the future. The arc of history inevitably bends to liberal definitions of justice. So we in the media who operate by progressive realism, all we have to do is expose how people like Jack Posobec and Steve Bannon and so forth, how they're obscurantis, how they're trying to stop history. That's all we have to do. And we're just going to have this wonderful, happy, clappy consensus of progressive liberalism as far as the idea, and it.
Jack Posobic
Ends up working, Dr. Turley, that progressive realism is. I want to get more.
Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer
Fukuyama's thesis.
Jack Posobic
Precisely. I want to get more. But I. Unfortunately, we are just about out of time. Where can people go to find your long form unpacking of all of this?
Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer
Oh, just punch my name into either rumble or YouTube. Dr. Steve Turley. You'll find my channels there.
Jack Posobic
You'll find them there. You'll get the books. Couple guitar videos too. Every once in a while. You never know what you're gonna find when you Google. Dr. Steve Turley. Same problem. I know all too well myself. Folks, ladies and gentlemen, we will. Oh, ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission.
Podcast Summary: Human Events Daily with Jack Posobiec
Episode: The United States is Vulnerable to Drone Attack and the Deep State is Escalating Towards World War 3
Release Date: June 3, 2025
In this episode of Human Events Daily, host Jack Posobiec delves deep into the pressing issues facing the United States, particularly focusing on national security vulnerabilities and the geopolitical maneuvers that may be steering the world toward a potential World War III. Joined by military analyst Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer and geopolitical commentator Dr. Steve Turley, the discussion navigates through the complexities of modern warfare, information manipulation, and global power structures.
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.
Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer corroborates these concerns, emphasizing the sophistication and planning behind such drone strikes, while questioning the actual impact versus media portrayals.
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.
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]
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]
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]
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.
