Europe and NATO are nervous about Putin's next move.

0:00 Speaker 1 What’s going on in Europe? What do they think is going on in America? What is today? O is a correspondent, Mario Ikunomo. He’s been with the large money money money center banks in the United States and Europe and London, Zurich and New York and Mario, what do you think what’s going on?

0:22 Speaker 2 So good morning, mister Katsimativi’s uh, well, uh, we’ve all seen the developments that have unfolded in the last week, very startling developments. The Europeans are trying to play them down and say that President Putin is basically bluffing. Uh.

0:42 They have pledged, they being the European Europeans specifically President Macron and the British with mister Keir Starmer as well as mister Route, the new Secretary General of NATO, have said that irrespective of what President elect Trump does when he becomes president, they will continue you to support the war effort in the Ukraine. Of course, nobody has mentioned

1:06 how they’re going to do that, where they’re going to have the money to do that, and more importantly, where they’re going to be able to get the artillery and the various other forms of missiles that are required. Having said that, we’ve seen what the Sarresnik missile intermediate range missile did several days ago, and I think a lot

1:26 of people are startled now. A lot of the information with respect to this missile, for some odd reason is not being released principally because nobody has really studied it. It is something new, and what we do know is by firing it, President Putin has shown us that with the range of this missile at roughly three and a

1:43 half thousand kilometers, you can actually hit the United Kingdom, and the missile travels very fast, roughly at mock ten that’s roughly three kilometers per second. Though these are mind boggling numbers that nobody can actually wrap their head around.

1:59 And the Patriot missile defense system that was around the factory in the Ukraine that was supposed to intercept these types of things failed to deliver. Wow.

2:10 Speaker 2 This means that basically this missile, which.

2:12 Speaker 1 Actually what Putin is reminding the United Kingdom, in the United States and the European communities, they’re.

2:20 Speaker 2 Vulnerable, absolutely correct and.

2:24 Speaker 1 Good, and our aircraft carriers are vulnerable. But that would mean all out war. I mean, if I was Putin I’d probably hit Kiev first.

2:36 Speaker 2 I don’t disagree with you, but I think that in his mind right now, he genuinely believes, given statements that have been made by vice admirals in the US and by the deputy head of the English Armed Forces, that the English are ready to fight tonight if they have to, as well as other statements made by admirals vice admirals

2:56 in the US, President Putin genuinely believes that the Western Alliance will actually engage in a preemptive strike nuclear strike. So he’s making it very clear to everybody that if anybody thinks they’re going to be able to pull, for lack of a better cliche, a fast one on him, they’re going to all fail miserably.

3:17 Speaker 1 You want to know something, I think Putin is too small active thought a worldward knowing that there’s going to be a new president in fifty five.

3:26 Speaker 2 Days, Mister katsamativis you are one thousand and one percent correct. Mister Putin is too smart to do that knowing exactly what you just said. The problem is there’s other people who, unfortunately right now are running the show in the US and Europe who do not have that level of intelligence, and it’s very difficult for him. A man who is

3:45 intelligent and who knows that another man is going to assume the presidency, who wants to end this, it’s very difficult for him to actually lower his level of intellect to the standard or the level of the people that are running the show now, who are itching and literally dying for a war with Russia, a war which they

4:03 will in fact lose miserably, especially the Europeans. So I agree with you on that statement. I would like to say before we close, two other things which are very important in which affect the Middle East. You’ve asked me in the past about the Red Sea and what’s going on with the huthis a Greek vice admiral. The Greeks

4:22 are in charge of the European mission there. A Greek vice admiral released a statement, I think it was a week or ten days ago, wherein he said that there is no interest by the Europeans in opening the Red Sea.

4:35 They are not sending ships, they are not participating actively. And the reason is, although he didn’t say this, the reason is they prefer the ships to go around Africa and all the way up because at the end of the day. Where do the ships end up. They end up in the ports in Western Europe and Northern Europe,

4:53 and those ports then of course get to make some money by unloading the cargo and putting it on their trains and their trucks to send it down to the other countries in Europe. So there is a business incentive not to send ships there. And one last thing I.

5:09 Speaker 1 Do so that is hurting the overall economy of Europe and other you know trade. I mean at what point, I mean, are we gonna wait till January nineteenth January twentieth for Trump to do something about it?

5:24 Speaker 2 January twenty first, well, yes, I you know a lot of people are scratching their head and wondering, but the profit incentive is too strong for those ports in the north and west of Europe for those countries to actually actively participate. I do want to close with one very important thing which hasn’t been covered anywhere, but it’s one

5:41 hundred percent true. Saudi Arabia did send one of its highest level military people to Iran. They are actually speaking with Iran and they’re actually jointly participating and engaging in military exercises, specifically in the Red Sea with naval exercises in the Persian Gulf, and they have an intention they’ve announced to actually strengthen their military ties and to work

6:05 together to do joint exercises.

6:08 Speaker 1 This is an amazing Saudi Arabia and Iran.

6:12 Speaker 2 Saudi Arabia and Iran. Correct, this has never happened.

6:15 Speaker 1 This well, let’s wake, let’s wake to January twenty first year. It happens.

6:20 Speaker 2 Well yeah, I mean, of course, but I’m just you know, I’m reporting what is happening right now.

6:25 Speaker 1 Thank you, Mario, thank you for coming on this Sunday morning, and we’ll catch up agetting read real soon.

6:32 Speaker 2 Enjoy your day.
