All hell is breaking loose as Donald Trump's unlawful and disastrous war against Iran is now spreading its tentacles reaching areas like the Baltic states. Watch what's going on in Estonia, in Latvia, in Lithuania, where Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump's bud, has his eyes set, in my view and on others who are watching this region for a possible invasion. I mean, folks, the entire world is at war right now in some way or another. I mean, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia have been prepared for the possibility of a Putin and Russia invasion there as Putin gets more desperate, as his losses continue to mount from his invasion in Ukraine. And we have to be looking around the world right now at these different potential locations where we could see a war break out as the vulnerabilities caused by America's weakness, you know, may start to surface as well. Those Baltic states, though, are well prepared, but Putin may want to try to create some conflagration in that region. I mean, look what the Trump regime is doing in South Korea. They've removed their thaad and patriot systems that are protecting South Korea. President Lee of South Korea is like, we strongly object to the US Taking away the systems that were meant for us to protect against a possible invasion by China. But sadly, we don't have a say with our objection. If the Trump regime is just taking the weapon systems out of South Korea and the Trump regime is not giving the weapons that were promised that were budgeted for by our Congress to Taiwan to protect itself from a potential invasion by China right there. Watch these hotspots right now. That's what we're focused on here at the Midas Touch Network. And when you have a reporter like, like Jennifer Griffin, who's the national security reporter over at Fox, she's like one of the only good reporters there saying, keep an eye on Russia. And she repost Igor Sushko, who writes smells like Putin is making domestic legal preparations for a ground invasion of the Baltic states, let's be clear, Jennifer Griffin does not delve into hyperbole. So when she says keep an eye on Russia and she reposts Igor Sushka, saying, is Putin making domestic preparations to invade The Baltic states right now. Pay close attention. And here on the Midas Touch network, we like to report on things in advance so you can start focusing on all of these things. So here is some of the latest there. So the Russian government's legislative committee approved amendments that expand Putin's powers to use troops outside of the country.

According to the document, the Putin will be able to extraterritorially use units of the armed forces to, quote, protect Russian citizens in the event of their arrest, detention, criminal or other prosecution abroad. This is the language that Putin uses as pretext for invasion. Very similar to Trump where they'll say, you know, Putin will go denazification. Donald Trump goes, were trying to stop the narco terrorists. Same types of playbook right there that they both, that they both use. And so a lot's developing. Let me explain to you though, why also Russia is very desperate, although Russia has just gotten a huge economic gift from the Trump regime. So while Russia is very publicly helping Iran, they're helping Tehran, they're helping Mojaba, the new Ayatollah of Iran, while Russia is helping Iran target American interests, helping Iran get more parts to shoot at Americans. Russia has publicly stated, Putin has publicly stated we're helping mount Jabba. Our support of Iran is unwavering. That's what, that's what Putin has said that he's doing. Donald Trump is removing sanctions or has removed the sanctions against Russia so that India could buy the Russian oil which was sold at like all time high prices, removing other sanctions against Russia. So Russia has been allowed to dump its oil into the market, make huge amounts of money right now as well, I think to beef up for a potential expansion of its war effort as Ukraine is really doing a good counter offensive against Russia right now. So here's what the Kiev independence report. I mean, Zelinsky is fighting back right now. Ukrainian forces have pushed Russian troops out of most of the occupied areas in the den Progresk Oblast after several weeks of counterattacks along the section of the front where the Nepro Versk and the Zapricia Oblast meet. So there's been a kind of counteroffensive launch by Zelensky here that's been very, very successful pushing these troops out of this oblast. As Gary Kasparov writes, Ukraine is winning despite Trump's attempts to help Russia. How humiliating it will be for Trump and the GOP to side not only with a KGB dictator, Putin, but for a KGB dictator, loser. So as Putin's losses mount, that's why I think his eyes now turn to Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, which regained their independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. They're all members of the European Union. And I think Putin is trying to provoke, you know, there already kind of is a world war, but to now use the smoke, if you will, that's engulfing the world, caused by the Trump regime, to start attacking these other countries to try to expand the war efforts, perhaps even try to draw in China right now. Look. Ukrainian intelligence obtained an internal Russian government document revealing Moscow's own assessment of its battlefield losses in the war against Ukraine at 1.3 million. 1,315,000 soldiers, with 62% dead and 38% wounded. The documents discussed today with Zelensky by Ukraine's military intelligence chief, Ole Veshniko, indicate that Russia internally estimates its losses at 1.3 million. The report also notes a shift in the casualty ratio, with a growing share of Russian losses now resulting in fatalities rather than wounded personnel. According to Ukrainian officials, these figures come from closed Russian reports and may still underestimate the true scale of Russian losses. They may actually be greater. I know we're all paying attention to what's going on with Trump's unlawful invasion of Iran right now. What's going on in the Middle east as Iran then retaliates against the Arab nations that are its neighbors, where there are American interests, as Iran retaliates against Israel and starts striking Tel Aviv, as the US And Israel are attacking Iran and Tehran and hitting lots of targets within Iran and also killing lots of civilians in Iran. Lots of focuses there. We're focused on it and giving you all the facts and details. But I do want you to pay attention to what's happening between Russia and Ukraine. Ukraine's counteroffensive being very successful. Russia getting desperate. Trump bailing Russia out by allowing Russia to sell its oil at top market prices. Putin calling Donald Trump and talking about working together with Trump. Trump leaning on Putin right now, as Trump gets more desperate as he sees this quagmire that he's this utter disaster that he's created in Iran. Now Putin focusing on, I think, other areas as well. Now Zelinsky is offering and is helping out Arab nations and the United States because Zelinsky, back last August, was trying to tell Donald Trump when Trump was rolling out the red carpet for Vladimir Putin in Alaska, where Trump was having American soldiers bend down on their knees and quite literally kiss Putin's feet at that summit in Alaska. Remember that in that same month in August, Zelinsky was telling Trump, look, let's we want to show you the dangers posed by the Shahid drones that Iran is developing. They're getting far more advanced. You, the United States don't have the capabilities to really address these shahed drones. Yes, you have your Thaad system, yes you have your Patriot missile systems, but those are billion dollar systems with million dollar missiles. And these are $20,000 drones which Iran produces en masse. Zelinsky has this anti drone technology. Zelensky has become a master at drone warfare. This is where all of kind of modern day war is shifting. Trump ignored Zelinsky to hang out with Putin at that deranged, traitorous and treasonous summit. And so now the United States was not prepared for the Shahid drones.

So as Igor Sushko, who does a great job reporting on all this stuff as well, says about yesterday and the Guardian wrote the article, despite having to defend against Russia's ongoing full scale invasion, Ukraine is sending drone experts and Ukraine produced interceptor drones to protect US bases in the Middle east from Russian produced advanced shahed drones. And so what Ukraine developed were these interceptor drones. So you have drones Interceptor drones. What the US has been using is not interceptor drones. They've been using their THAAD and Patriot systems, million dollar missiles to shoot down $20,000 drones. No, you have to intercept your drones on drones. Zelinsky gets it. But also Zelinsky not just wanting to help the United States, to try to also get protection for Ukraine and to help the Arab nations and to lend a hand and to be helpful, as Zelensky frankly always has. But I think Zelinsky recognizes as well that this is the expanding nature of this war, is that Russia is involved in the, in the Iran war. Russia is helping Iran, China's helping Iran. Right? That's what's going down. And so Zelinsky is helping the United States because it's also a way for Zelinsky to continue the counteroffensive in Ukraine against Putin by trying to keep Putin's resources in the Middle east under check. You get what's going on there as well. And to try to also slow down Putin, Putin's march potentially on those Baltic states as well, while Ukraine engages in, you know, very, very good precision strikes on Russian areas. As Igor Shushka also post Ukrainian precision strikes on the Russian military industry using British French Storm Shadow Scalp cruise missiles. We saw that go down yesterday. And Zelinsky then released the following message. President Zelinsky says, so our team is now on its way to the Gulf region where they can help protect lives and stabilize the situation. We see the challenge that exists now. The Iranian regime has effectively blocked the Strait of Her mos, one of the main routes for supplying oil and gas to the global market. This is a major source of instability. No one in the world can yet say how long all of this will last. But it is important that the protection of life starts working effectively as soon as possible. Stability is important for us as well. For us. Right? In other words, Zelinsky recognizes that if all of the attention is focused on Iran and there's no resolution there, that could potentially hurt Ukraine as well. So Ukraine's like, we need our stability. Also, those now seeking Ukraine's help must continue to assist our defense. In other words, you need us right now. We have leverage and we also want to help you. So help us. We'll help you. First and foremost, our air defense. Last year we already proposed a drone agreement with the United States. This is the right way forward to partner with us in the production and use of drones. And everyone now sees there's no alternative to this approach. In other words, Donald, you're stupid. You're an idiot. You're a traitor. We tried to get you this technology last year, and because you hate Zelinsky, you refused. We were giving it to you. Ukraine has the greatest experience in the world encountering attack drones. And without our experience, it will be very difficult for the Gulf region, the entire Middle east and partners in Europe and America to build strong protection. Then Zelensky met with his negotiating team because, let's face it, Zelensky is trying to bring peace in his region to Ukraine and also in the Middle East. But Donald Trump wants to help Putin take over Ukraine and I believe take over the Baltic states and I believe take over all of Europe. Zelinsky writes, I held a meeting. This was yesterday. I held a meeting with our negotiating team. It is important that we are in communication with the American side. Virtually 247 at the moment. The partners priority and all attention are focused on the situation around, around Iran. And because of this, the meeting that had been planned for this week is being postponed at the proposal of the American side. However, Ukraine is ready for a meeting at any moment in a format that can help and that will be realistic in terms of ending the war. The team reported on the plans of the Russian side as far as it is known to us, primarily thanks to our intelligence surfaces. I instructed the team to once again communicate with American negotiators in order, first, to reiterate our readiness for strategic joint work for security, in particular protection against strike drones, and second, to once again confirm our readiness to work substantively toward ending Russia's war against, against Ukraine. We see that the Russians are now trying to manipulate the situation in the Middle east and the Gulf region in favor of their aggression and also to effectively turn the Iranian regime strikes against its neighbors and American bases into a second front of Russia's war against Ukraine, more broadly against the entire West. There it is, right there. That's why we need to read these things, right? This is what's really going on when I say there is a war involving the entire world and it is now being fought in the Middle east, it's also being fought in Ukraine, and it's also being fought elsewhere. But this is a second front in a war that involves a world. The entire world, call it what you will, but that's what's happening right now. This must not be allowed. Zelinsky says evil must not be given opportunities for coordination, but the protection of life must be clearly coordinated. This is exactly what we are working for. Working for. In other words, wake the hell up, America. Wake the hell up. Trump or wake the hell up anybody who has any power in America, whether it's the United States Senate or Congress. Don't you realize that this is a proxy war that is taking place right now in the Middle East? Don't you get what you've actually unleashed? Donald Trump.

It's absolutely raining, but there's no one on the beach. Like, literally there's one person on the beach. It's like these yachts are usually filled up with yachts. It's almost like a 28 days later moment. It's just a ghost town. It's crazy how dead it is. But one Mr. Beachfront right now, Absolutely dead.

As Mortaza Hussein explains, they're relentlessly trying to encourage Iran to hit the Gulf states more directly to force their direct engagement in the war. This includes release of images yesterday by CENTCOM of the Himars rockets apparently being fired from Arab states. So the US is also leaking images of Arab states firing these missiles in order to try to draw in the Arab states into the war. And then the Iranian regime notices that you have. The foreign minister Iraqi says thank you centcom for admitted that you are using our neighbor's territory to deploy these Himars systems against our people, apparently including a desalination plant. Nobody should complain if our powerful missiles destroy these systems wherever they are, for retribution. You look at the rest of the world as well. Restaurants and hotels across India say they may have to shut down because supplies of liquefied petroleum gas have been disrupted by the US Israel war against Iran. Vietnam's Trade Ministry urged businesses to let employees work from home to reduce fuel use as supply disruptions and price spikes linked to the war with Iran hit the country. Saudis Aramco CEO Amin Nasser warned that the ongoing Middle east conflict could have catastrophic consequences for the oil market and global economy if it continues. And we expect to continue. And meanwhile state regime media, which calls itself Fox like Laura Ingraham, are like blaming the Iranian people. Where are your uprisings? You should be doing the uprisings for us. Here's what she says here, play this clip.

Sources have told NBC, the Washington Post and others that Russia has been providing intelligence to Iran about the location of US Forces. Obviously that sounds very serious. As a member of a Gang of Eight, are you aware that this is in fact happening? And what do you think the response should be by the United States?
- [21:34]
Politician
We've not had a gathering of the Gang of Eight since I think maybe a few days after the operation began. So that was new information when it came out yesterday and I'm here and have not been in the the skiff for confidential briefing. But the President commented yesterday, if indeed Russia is helping them, they're not doing a very good job. And so we'll leave it at that. It would be a very serious thing if Russia were intervening in that way. I hope that it is not true, but we'll have to see how that develops. I'm not sure.

Last week the Energy Security issued a waiver for India to get oil, Russian oil, during this energy crisis. Have you spoken to the president about it? What's the idea behind this?

Government Official
I've spoken to the President about it.

Amazon Music Advertiser
About it?
- [22:19]
Government Official
Yes, I have spoken to the President about it. And the President and the Secretary of Treasury and the whole national security team came to this decision because our allies in India, as you know, Lalit, have been good actors and have previously stopped buying sanctioned Russian oil. So as we work to appease this temporary gap of oil supply around the world because of the Iranians, we have temporarily permitted them to accept that Russian oil. And this Russian oil was already at sea. It was already out on the wall, the water. So this short term measure, we don't believe it will provide significant financial benefit to the Russian government at this time.
