  • 00:00:00
    all right Alexander let's talk about uh
  • 00:00:02
    Kier stammer and his Coalition of the
  • 00:00:04
    Willing which is now turning into the
  • 00:00:08
    Coalition of the volunteers I guess
  • 00:00:11
    because whatever countries want to
  • 00:00:13
    volunteer to join kir stammer on his uh
  • 00:00:16
    Ukraine Peacekeeper Adventures uh they
  • 00:00:19
    could they could go to the many meetings
  • 00:00:21
    that he's holding in London but it does
  • 00:00:23
    look like this Coalition of the Willing
  • 00:00:25
    which was the UK and France with a
  • 00:00:28
    little bit of of dead Mark sprinkled in
  • 00:00:31
    that this thing has collapsed what are
  • 00:00:33
    your thoughts I think it has collapsed
  • 00:00:36
    um I think it was always it always had
  • 00:00:38
    about it a quality of
  • 00:00:40
    unreality but um it's increasingly clear
  • 00:00:43
    that more and more European countries
  • 00:00:46
    are opting out of it U Maloney in Italy
  • 00:00:49
    has said no she says that this is whole
  • 00:00:51
    this whole thing is premature and even
  • 00:00:54
    illc conceived she's made it absolutely
  • 00:00:56
    clear that she's not sending Italian
  • 00:00:58
    troops to Ukraine under any
  • 00:01:01
    circumstances she's I think seeing the
  • 00:01:04
    polls in Italy and is getting the sense
  • 00:01:06
    of Italian public opinion and they're
  • 00:01:09
    dead against it as are members of her
  • 00:01:11
    own government I think Spain is coming
  • 00:01:15
    out against it too I think in Germany
  • 00:01:18
    there's no enthusiasm for this Poland is
  • 00:01:22
    adamantly opposed to it because they see
  • 00:01:26
    this as weakening Poland's own military
  • 00:01:30
    defense so I think that what we've seen
  • 00:01:33
    over the last couple of about last week
  • 00:01:36
    is that more and more European countries
  • 00:01:39
    the moment they began to understand that
  • 00:01:43
    stara was actually serious about this
  • 00:01:46
    they said enough's enough look this man
  • 00:01:49
    is out of his mind we are not going to
  • 00:01:52
    Ukraine we don't want to have anything
  • 00:01:55
    to do with this and uh they're pulling
  • 00:01:57
    out the other thing is the Americans
  • 00:02:00
    clearly are not behind this they're not
  • 00:02:02
    going to provide the back stop they're
  • 00:02:04
    not going to provide the guarantee that
  • 00:02:07
    starma was say was the essential
  • 00:02:10
    necessity for this and so that's all
  • 00:02:14
    ended the Russians of course have been
  • 00:02:17
    adamantly opposed all along and they are
  • 00:02:20
    maintaining their
  • 00:02:22
    opposition so a couple of days ago
  • 00:02:25
    starma came up with a new idea he said
  • 00:02:28
    well maybe we won't send troops to
  • 00:02:30
    Ukraine maybe we will actually Patrol
  • 00:02:33
    the Skies over Ukraine with our Air
  • 00:02:36
    Forces British and French fighter jets
  • 00:02:38
    and all of that uh which would have to
  • 00:02:40
    be based in Poland by the way just just
  • 00:02:42
    just saying um the Russians would
  • 00:02:46
    interpret that of course as an attempt
  • 00:02:49
    to create a no-fly zone which is is and
  • 00:02:54
    again um there is apparently um a shift
  • 00:02:58
    against this both by European countries
  • 00:03:03
    and most
  • 00:03:04
    importantly by Britain's own military
  • 00:03:08
    now there has been an excoriating
  • 00:03:11
    article about all of these ideas
  • 00:03:14
    appearing in the Daily Telegraph today
  • 00:03:17
    and it is clearly sourced from people
  • 00:03:19
    within the military in fact it says so
  • 00:03:21
    and you have one military oh these are
  • 00:03:24
    all anonymous because they're serving
  • 00:03:26
    Military Officers but one source after
  • 00:03:29
    another
  • 00:03:30
    basically saying this idea is
  • 00:03:33
    hairbrained we don't know what kind of
  • 00:03:36
    mission these uh troops would be sent to
  • 00:03:40
    do how this would work there's no possib
  • 00:03:45
    possibility of sorting out the logistics
  • 00:03:48
    we're talking about a 10 to 20 30,000
  • 00:03:51
    Man force the Russians have at least
  • 00:03:54
    700,000 men around Ukraine the Ukrainian
  • 00:03:57
    Army is already much bigger than hours
  • 00:04:00
    what are these people intended to do
  • 00:04:03
    what is the military logic and rationale
  • 00:04:06
    behind the mission so you can see that
  • 00:04:09
    the military the British military are
  • 00:04:11
    turning against it as well and there is
  • 00:04:14
    a particularly cruel passage in this
  • 00:04:17
    Daily Telegraph article and you have to
  • 00:04:20
    understand
  • 00:04:21
    now British irony if you like they're
  • 00:04:24
    saying that you know there a huge amount
  • 00:04:26
    of respect within the military for the
  • 00:04:28
    fact that star has given this idea so
  • 00:04:31
    much of his time that he's worked on it
  • 00:04:35
    so
  • 00:04:36
    hard but you know this really isn't
  • 00:04:39
    working when people say that he's given
  • 00:04:42
    a lot of his time and um that he's
  • 00:04:46
    worked very hard on it the military
  • 00:04:49
    people are basically saying to starma
  • 00:04:52
    mind your own
  • 00:04:53
    business yeah is uh is this about brexit
  • 00:04:56
    you floated out this possibility uh
  • 00:04:59
    couple of weeks ago that a lot of this
  • 00:05:01
    could be about some sort of a return to
  • 00:05:04
    the European Union uh not an official
  • 00:05:07
    Return of the UK to the European Union
  • 00:05:09
    but there is talk about the UK signing
  • 00:05:12
    Customs unions a customs Union deal with
  • 00:05:16
    uh with the EU and I do get the sense uh
  • 00:05:20
    reading many articles on stommer uh st's
  • 00:05:23
    plans for Ukraine that a lot of it is is
  • 00:05:26
    done in coordination with Ursula and the
  • 00:05:30
    other guy at the council what's his name
  • 00:05:31
    Goa the guy that took over for Michelle
  • 00:05:34
    and they are talking a lot about uh
  • 00:05:37
    coordinating their their defenses their
  • 00:05:39
    defense budget their defense
  • 00:05:41
    spending and it does feel like this
  • 00:05:43
    could be some sort of of a consolation
  • 00:05:46
    prize for stommer for the European Union
  • 00:05:49
    okay the United States they're they're
  • 00:05:51
    pulling away from us yes we were
  • 00:05:53
    defeated in Ukraine uh we were not able
  • 00:05:56
    to to send a peacekeeping mission to to
  • 00:05:59
    to Ukraine either but what we did
  • 00:06:02
    accomplish is we accomplished some sort
  • 00:06:04
    of reversal of brexit so now the UK and
  • 00:06:08
    the EU we're we're best buddies again uh
  • 00:06:11
    what are your thoughts on on that that
  • 00:06:13
    is exact that is exactly what it is
  • 00:06:16
    ultimately all about I mean obviously
  • 00:06:19
    there is um a personal issue about
  • 00:06:22
    Ukraine starm is fixated with Ukraine so
  • 00:06:25
    is much of the British political class
  • 00:06:27
    or to be more precise they're fixated
  • 00:06:29
    with Russia so I mean you know they want
  • 00:06:32
    to do all of this but ultimately the the
  • 00:06:35
    primary of genda the major focus is to
  • 00:06:39
    try to get Britain back into Europe and
  • 00:06:42
    they can't reverse brexit immediately
  • 00:06:44
    but they say to themselves if we can
  • 00:06:47
    establish some kind of new military
  • 00:06:49
    relationship with
  • 00:06:51
    um um the EU if we can start working
  • 00:06:54
    with Ula and a Costa and all of these
  • 00:06:57
    people if we can create some kind of
  • 00:07:00
    French British axis with macron who's
  • 00:07:03
    showing signs of being very very uh
  • 00:07:06
    worried about Ms and the things that the
  • 00:07:09
    Germans erupting then you know that
  • 00:07:12
    brings us back to Europe we can actually
  • 00:07:17
    participate at a security level in
  • 00:07:21
    discussions in Brussels we can have our
  • 00:07:24
    Representatives turning up again at the
  • 00:07:27
    European Council we might even have
  • 00:07:29
    starma himself coming to meetings of the
  • 00:07:33
    European Council the European Council
  • 00:07:35
    for those who people don't know is the
  • 00:07:37
    highest body of the European Union so he
  • 00:07:40
    would obviously be there supposedly only
  • 00:07:44
    to
  • 00:07:45
    discuss military and security policy but
  • 00:07:50
    it would be him coming back into the
  • 00:07:54
    door it would be reversing brexit by
  • 00:07:57
    stealth in a way so I I think think that
  • 00:07:59
    is absolutely the case and I think a lot
  • 00:08:02
    of it stems from this if you look at
  • 00:08:04
    British politics um it's not an exact
  • 00:08:09
    overlap but overall to a very great
  • 00:08:13
    extent those who supported remain tend
  • 00:08:17
    to be anti-russian pro- Ukraine and I
  • 00:08:21
    said I mean I mean you know about 90% of
  • 00:08:24
    them those who supported brexit
  • 00:08:29
    tend to be more skeptical about the
  • 00:08:33
    whole conflict now that isn't an
  • 00:08:35
    absolute iron rule because of course
  • 00:08:37
    you've got people like Boris Johnson who
  • 00:08:39
    was normally part of the brexit issue
  • 00:08:43
    and he is of course as we know a fervid
  • 00:08:46
    supporter of Ukraine but overall if
  • 00:08:49
    you're looking at the percentages that
  • 00:08:51
    is basically about right and a lot of
  • 00:08:56
    people in Britain the pr particularly
  • 00:08:59
    the political class who've always been
  • 00:09:02
    deeply upset and resentful about brexit
  • 00:09:04
    do indeed see this as um a doorway
  • 00:09:09
    towards starting to reverse brexit to
  • 00:09:12
    start getting Britain involved again in
  • 00:09:16
    European Affairs using security and
  • 00:09:20
    defense issues as the pathway to do it
  • 00:09:24
    yeah it makes sense in a way if you're
  • 00:09:27
    labor even if you're the the
  • 00:09:29
    conservative party if you're the
  • 00:09:30
    political establishment in uh in Britain
  • 00:09:33
    and you've you've got uh you've got
  • 00:09:36
    reform you've got farage uh they're
  • 00:09:39
    they're definitely uh eating away at
  • 00:09:42
    your uh your power base what you do is
  • 00:09:46
    is you draw a line in the sand and and
  • 00:09:48
    you basically tell the the people of the
  • 00:09:51
    UK where're The Establishment that's
  • 00:09:53
    going to protect you from Russia We're
  • 00:09:56
    The Establishment that's that's working
  • 00:09:58
    with our Partners in the European Union
  • 00:10:01
    where uh where the the proe pro-europe a
  • 00:10:07
    pro Collective West uh part of of UK
  • 00:10:12
    politics vote us join us or your other
  • 00:10:17
    alternative is is isolation via reform I
  • 00:10:21
    mean that that could be the kind of
  • 00:10:23
    message that that they're putting out
  • 00:10:24
    there that they want to they want to get
  • 00:10:27
    towards they want to move towards and in
  • 00:10:29
    a strange
  • 00:10:31
    way it makes it makes some sense
  • 00:10:34
    especially when you have a weak
  • 00:10:35
    candidate like when you have a lot of
  • 00:10:37
    weak candidates but but right now you
  • 00:10:38
    have stammer and so you have a guy that
  • 00:10:41
    doesn't have any Charisma that's that's
  • 00:10:44
    effectively just uh just a complete uh
  • 00:10:48
    uh political uh bore and a political
  • 00:10:51
    puppet but you give him this this
  • 00:10:53
    talking point this message that he can
  • 00:10:55
    throw out there you know the UK is is
  • 00:10:58
    with Europe the UK is with the EU the UK
  • 00:11:00
    is against Russia we're now the leaders
  • 00:11:02
    of the collective West we're going to
  • 00:11:03
    fight for our defense we're going to
  • 00:11:05
    trade with the European Union this is
  • 00:11:07
    the future of of the UK or choose
  • 00:11:10
    isolation with with farage reform I
  • 00:11:12
    don't know something along those lines
  • 00:11:14
    uh you find articles about that all over
  • 00:11:16
    the media now except of course they're
  • 00:11:18
    not saying
  • 00:11:19
    isolation they're saying go with farage
  • 00:11:23
    and accept subjugation by the Kremlin I
  • 00:11:26
    mean this is this is I mean they're much
  • 00:11:28
    they take
  • 00:11:30
    much further than this and that we have
  • 00:11:32
    to increase defense spending because the
  • 00:11:34
    Russians are at our gates I mean the the
  • 00:11:38
    rhetoric is just off the scale here
  • 00:11:40
    about this and that is why we must pull
  • 00:11:44
    uh our Resources with the Europeans we
  • 00:11:47
    can't count on the Americans anymore the
  • 00:11:50
    Americans are going away they're even
  • 00:11:52
    betraying us so
  • 00:11:54
    therefore unless we um want to be taken
  • 00:12:00
    over and ruled by Moscow we must make
  • 00:12:03
    common cause with our French and German
  • 00:12:05
    allies crank up the fense spending and
  • 00:12:08
    reintegrate with Europe with the new
  • 00:12:11
    defense and security structures that are
  • 00:12:13
    being created in Europe now I'm going to
  • 00:12:15
    say this for a couple of weeks um um
  • 00:12:18
    this actually did have some resonance um
  • 00:12:21
    you saw I mean starma had a brief upward
  • 00:12:25
    bump in his support after the Oval
  • 00:12:28
    Office meeting meeting between zalinski
  • 00:12:30
    and Trump the way it was represented in
  • 00:12:34
    Britain was the Trump and Vance bullied
  • 00:12:37
    ziny and you know we know that wasn't
  • 00:12:39
    the truth but that was how it was
  • 00:12:42
    represented uh starma supported zalinski
  • 00:12:46
    people felt sorry for zalinski and there
  • 00:12:49
    was an upward bump as a result in st's
  • 00:12:52
    popularity all of the indications are is
  • 00:12:54
    that that's now drifting away and uh
  • 00:12:58
    this narrative that you've set out which
  • 00:13:01
    is indeed the official establishment
  • 00:13:04
    narrative at the moment you know we must
  • 00:13:07
    reintegrate with Europe we are the
  • 00:13:09
    people who will defend you you can't
  • 00:13:11
    trust farage you can't trust reform we
  • 00:13:14
    must get back into the E with the
  • 00:13:16
    Europeans because the Russians are on at
  • 00:13:19
    our doorstep and the Americans are going
  • 00:13:22
    away it it's starting people are
  • 00:13:25
    starting to question this because
  • 00:13:28
    firstly the econom I omic situation in
  • 00:13:30
    Britain continues to deteriorate we had
  • 00:13:32
    a contraction in the
  • 00:13:35
    economy in January there is a steep
  • 00:13:40
    reduction in fiscal space as it's called
  • 00:13:44
    in other words the government is running
  • 00:13:45
    out of money just saying um the uh there
  • 00:13:50
    is talk that in the spring the
  • 00:13:53
    government might actually have to raise
  • 00:13:55
    taxes again something which in the
  • 00:14:00
    Chancellor's Autumn statement which you
  • 00:14:02
    remember we covered um she did raise
  • 00:14:05
    taxes but she said that there wouldn't
  • 00:14:07
    be any further increases in taxes it now
  • 00:14:10
    looks as if there will be and it will be
  • 00:14:13
    justified on the basis of the need to
  • 00:14:16
    increase defense spending so people
  • 00:14:18
    don't want to pay taxes um the
  • 00:14:21
    government has moved forward with very
  • 00:14:24
    severe
  • 00:14:25
    Cuts in dis in spending for disabled
  • 00:14:30
    people now this is you know a
  • 00:14:33
    significant part of the UK population
  • 00:14:36
    people have all kinds of disabilities
  • 00:14:38
    and they get funds for this some of them
  • 00:14:40
    I mean there are some cases which are
  • 00:14:42
    really very distressing to read about I
  • 00:14:47
    I'm I'm not going to get into the
  • 00:14:48
    details of this all I will say is that
  • 00:14:51
    taking this step has shocked
  • 00:14:56
    starbur labor party support ERS it's
  • 00:15:00
    unpopular with the labor parliamentary
  • 00:15:02
    party and a lot of the people who
  • 00:15:05
    previously had supported starma um
  • 00:15:08
    indeed had been passionately supportive
  • 00:15:11
    of starma are now um horrified by this
  • 00:15:16
    and they're starting to turn against him
  • 00:15:18
    and you could see this in the guardian
  • 00:15:21
    for example very very proarm newspaper
  • 00:15:24
    in Britain we know its
  • 00:15:27
    orientation they now published an
  • 00:15:29
    article an editorial saying that you
  • 00:15:32
    know um um basically that the labor
  • 00:15:34
    party is portraying its um core
  • 00:15:37
    constituency that it's not really a
  • 00:15:40
    labor party in any true sense anymore
  • 00:15:42
    making criticisms comments about the
  • 00:15:45
    labor party and what it's become which
  • 00:15:47
    are very similar to the ones that we've
  • 00:15:48
    made on that youan it was very strange
  • 00:15:51
    to read them in an editorial in the
  • 00:15:54
    guardian
  • 00:15:56
    so this brief bump in popularity is now
  • 00:16:02
    draining away and one senses that in
  • 00:16:07
    fact not only is it going to continue to
  • 00:16:09
    drain away but that there is actually an
  • 00:16:11
    incipient crisis developing so the labor
  • 00:16:14
    party continues is going to start to
  • 00:16:16
    lose support starmer is losing support
  • 00:16:18
    there are growing doubts about
  • 00:16:20
    him the conservatives are not picking up
  • 00:16:24
    support they are stuck at
  • 00:16:26
    22% in the opinion polls
  • 00:16:29
    which is I believe worse than what they
  • 00:16:32
    got in the election their leader their
  • 00:16:35
    new leader Cy badok I think universally
  • 00:16:40
    is acknowledged to have been a failure
  • 00:16:42
    she's completely failed to make any
  • 00:16:44
    political impact over the last couple of
  • 00:16:49
    weeks we've had a major attack on reform
  • 00:16:53
    and on
  • 00:16:54
    farage um over an internal dispute
  • 00:16:57
    within reform that doesn't seem to have
  • 00:16:59
    had any effect on reform's popularity
  • 00:17:03
    and it seems to be um over
  • 00:17:07
    anyway and perhaps more alarming still
  • 00:17:12
    um there now there's now been
  • 00:17:14
    confirmation that farage and Dominic
  • 00:17:18
    Cummings remember him he was the man who
  • 00:17:21
    used to be um Boris Johnson's Chief
  • 00:17:25
    advisor he was the man who ran the
  • 00:17:27
    official exit campaign in 2016 he was
  • 00:17:32
    the man who came up with the famous
  • 00:17:33
    slogan Take Back Control he's widely
  • 00:17:37
    considered to be the single most skilled
  • 00:17:41
    um campaign manager in
  • 00:17:44
    Britain anyway these two men faraj and
  • 00:17:47
    cummings who up to now have not got on
  • 00:17:51
    with each other they've been Rivals
  • 00:17:54
    anyway they've apparently had a very
  • 00:17:56
    productive and successful meeting so it
  • 00:18:00
    looks as if they are putting aside their
  • 00:18:02
    differences they're very different
  • 00:18:04
    people and there's some suggestions that
  • 00:18:06
    these two parts of the brexit movement
  • 00:18:09
    are coming together again so um you're
  • 00:18:13
    absolutely correct in what you said
  • 00:18:15
    about you know the plan that the
  • 00:18:19
    establishment has but it's not clear at
  • 00:18:23
    the moment that it's going to work at
  • 00:18:25
    least not in electoral terms um more
  • 00:18:28
    like ly on the contrary we're going to
  • 00:18:31
    see especially in a few weeks months
  • 00:18:34
    time especially if as I
  • 00:18:37
    expect we we start to see um electricity
  • 00:18:41
    and gas prices domestic prices in
  • 00:18:43
    Britain surge in the Autumn that there's
  • 00:18:46
    going to be increasing uh anger and
  • 00:18:49
    disaffection and people could start to
  • 00:18:51
    turn against this whole thing and uh we
  • 00:18:53
    could start to see reform um increase
  • 00:18:56
    its uh its vote um in the opinion polls
  • 00:19:01
    and start to pose an even stronger
  • 00:19:03
    challenge than it is already so that's
  • 00:19:06
    that's I think where we are with with
  • 00:19:08
    British politics at the moment uh can
  • 00:19:10
    you comment uh quickly on what's going
  • 00:19:13
    on in the European Union and with Ursula
  • 00:19:16
    there's an article in build which is
  • 00:19:17
    claiming that Ursula has has lost a lot
  • 00:19:20
    of her her power she's no longer the
  • 00:19:23
    queen of uh of Europe because the United
  • 00:19:26
    States they they have they want nothing
  • 00:19:28
    to do with with Ursula JD Vance when he
  • 00:19:31
    was at the AI Summit in Paris when
  • 00:19:33
    Ursula was ready to speak and give her
  • 00:19:35
    speech he uh he walked out of the room I
  • 00:19:38
    don't think there's been any high level
  • 00:19:40
    contact between the Trump Administration
  • 00:19:42
    and and dushi definitely has not been at
  • 00:19:45
    the White House or the Oval Office she
  • 00:19:46
    has not been invited to to meet with
  • 00:19:48
    Trump so I think that that says a lot um
  • 00:19:52
    there there is talk that uh the the
  • 00:19:55
    defense um the defense fund the defense
  • 00:19:58
    budget this 800 billion that Ursula is
  • 00:20:00
    trying to push through this is her way
  • 00:20:01
    of trying to reassert her uh her
  • 00:20:04
    dominance in in Europe by creating this
  • 00:20:06
    defense fund of course uh working with
  • 00:20:09
    the UK is another way for her to to show
  • 00:20:11
    that she still is a player on the world
  • 00:20:13
    stage much like stabber he's a player on
  • 00:20:15
    the world stage because he's he's
  • 00:20:17
    joining forces with the European Union
  • 00:20:19
    the other side of the coin is Ursula
  • 00:20:21
    needs to show that she's still uh a big
  • 00:20:23
    player in world affairs and geopolitics
  • 00:20:26
    by teaming up with uh the UK
  • 00:20:29
    but no doubt her uh Power has definitely
  • 00:20:32
    diminished because the Trump
  • 00:20:34
    Administration wants nothing to do with
  • 00:20:37
    her the United States is is not so
  • 00:20:39
    interested in Europe and uh that's where
  • 00:20:41
    a lot of uh her power came from the
  • 00:20:44
    Biden Administration their support for
  • 00:20:46
    for her and for the European Union of
  • 00:20:48
    course we have all her failures it's
  • 00:20:50
    been it's been five six years of uh of
  • 00:20:53
    failure when it comes toh to Ursula Vu
  • 00:20:56
    as uh the commissioner a gigantic huge
  • 00:21:00
    uh failures and project Ukraine the fact
  • 00:21:03
    that she's lost the war to Russia that's
  • 00:21:06
    going to be a big failure for for Ursula
  • 00:21:09
    never mind the fact that she's not in
  • 00:21:10
    any of the negotiations either anyway
  • 00:21:12
    your thoughts there and we'll wrap up
  • 00:21:13
    the video well in that's a very
  • 00:21:15
    interesting story and it's absolutely
  • 00:21:16
    true by the way I mean uh urela is now
  • 00:21:19
    coming under a serious Challenge and
  • 00:21:22
    it's absolutely the case that the Trump
  • 00:21:24
    Administration wants absolutely nothing
  • 00:21:26
    to do with her and is avoiding having
  • 00:21:28
    any contact with her I I I mean they're
  • 00:21:31
    making it fairly clear by the way that
  • 00:21:35
    they blame her for what they see as the
  • 00:21:37
    massive Democratic backsliding in
  • 00:21:40
    Romania just saying which uh remember uh
  • 00:21:44
    the Americans JD Vance himself brought
  • 00:21:47
    up so he's got personal issues with
  • 00:21:51
    urula and you're absolutely correct that
  • 00:21:54
    urula Rose to prominence because she had
  • 00:21:58
    the back King of the Biden people I mean
  • 00:22:00
    she was always he was there with Biden
  • 00:22:02
    all the time she got on incredibly Well
  • 00:22:04
    Blink and Sullivan and all of that so
  • 00:22:07
    suddenly she's looking very isolated I
  • 00:22:09
    mean she's no longer got the support
  • 00:22:11
    from the Americans that she wants it you
  • 00:22:14
    also starting to get hit pieces about
  • 00:22:16
    her by the way I mean I read one which
  • 00:22:19
    spoke about you know how she was isolate
  • 00:22:21
    she'd isolated herself that she only
  • 00:22:24
    works with a small group of very trusted
  • 00:22:27
    people basically for the Baltic states
  • 00:22:30
    and things of that kind um that she's a
  • 00:22:34
    poor manager what a
  • 00:22:36
    surprise corrup the corruption they're
  • 00:22:39
    talking a lot about the corruption the
  • 00:22:42
    CHS and all that the text messages yeah
  • 00:22:45
    yeah now you know all of this of course
  • 00:22:47
    uh is partly because the Americans are
  • 00:22:49
    turning against her but there is a much
  • 00:22:51
    much more powerful enemy much closer to
  • 00:22:54
    home and that is apparently Fredick mats
  • 00:22:58
    who is the new Chancellor or will soon
  • 00:23:01
    be the new chancellor of Germany now one
  • 00:23:03
    of the reasons Ursula became so
  • 00:23:06
    strong is because for the last three
  • 00:23:08
    years we've had a weak chaotic
  • 00:23:12
    government in Berlin Schultz was not a
  • 00:23:15
    strong Chancellor the Coalition he led
  • 00:23:17
    was very fractious he never had any real
  • 00:23:21
    control over urula in fact he did pretty
  • 00:23:23
    much whatever she wanted and um the
  • 00:23:27
    greens is Germany uh um Harbeck and
  • 00:23:31
    bebok uh were were political allies of
  • 00:23:34
    ursila in all her various projects now
  • 00:23:38
    we have a new government led by mats
  • 00:23:42
    it's a
  • 00:23:43
    coalition of the CDU CSU and the spbd
  • 00:23:47
    the greens are not part of this
  • 00:23:50
    Coalition
  • 00:23:52
    and even you know on that basis it would
  • 00:23:56
    be unsurprising if this new government
  • 00:23:59
    in Berlin um said look Germany's the
  • 00:24:04
    biggest country in the EU if anybody's
  • 00:24:07
    going to rule and run the EU it's going
  • 00:24:09
    to be us we've done that before I mean
  • 00:24:12
    that was what Merkel did that's what you
  • 00:24:15
    know we should be doing Berlin should be
  • 00:24:17
    the real capital of the EU not russels
  • 00:24:21
    so you know a stronger government in
  • 00:24:24
    Germany or at least a more coherent
  • 00:24:25
    government in Germany would probably
  • 00:24:28
    want to challenge urula anyway but there
  • 00:24:33
    is the added factor that apparently MZ
  • 00:24:37
    and Ursula hate each other that there is
  • 00:24:39
    a
  • 00:24:40
    longstanding PO political feud between
  • 00:24:44
    them because matz sees osula as a Ally
  • 00:24:50
    of his former Nemesis Angela Merkel and
  • 00:24:54
    um he doesn't like Merkel and he doesn't
  • 00:24:58
    like osula because he sees her as
  • 00:25:01
    associated with Merkel and apparently
  • 00:25:03
    mats is somebody who you know holds on
  • 00:25:06
    to his grudges now bear something in
  • 00:25:09
    mind bill ziton is a right-wing
  • 00:25:13
    conservative tabloid very very close
  • 00:25:16
    politically to the CDU so the fact that
  • 00:25:20
    they are saying that Ursula is losing
  • 00:25:23
    her power is
  • 00:25:25
    perhaps they're saying that because
  • 00:25:28
    somebody from um mount's office is
  • 00:25:32
    telling them
  • 00:25:34
    to they're not wrong no no that wrong
  • 00:25:38
    yeah no I mean she has been a
  • 00:25:40
    disastrous EU commission president the
  • 00:25:43
    worst the worst she has she has expanded
  • 00:25:46
    the power of the EU
  • 00:25:48
    Center to extraordinary degrees she is
  • 00:25:51
    chaotic and uh uh she's a chaotic and
  • 00:25:56
    corrupt and extremely bad manager and
  • 00:26:00
    administrator she has extremely
  • 00:26:02
    authoritarian Tendencies as we've seen
  • 00:26:04
    many times and undoubtedly those who
  • 00:26:09
    don't share her ideological fixations
  • 00:26:12
    are going to dislike her so it's
  • 00:26:17
    unsurprising that you know her enemies
  • 00:26:19
    are now Gathering Ms on the one hand the
  • 00:26:22
    Trump people on the other MZ and Trump
  • 00:26:25
    probably disagree about pretty much
  • 00:26:27
    everything
  • 00:26:28
    except their shared dislike of Ursula
  • 00:26:32
    fion yeah and completely obsessed with
  • 00:26:34
    Russia absolutely absolutely yeah all
  • 00:26:38
