I'm John Batchu with my colleague Gregory Copley, the Kamehjur War, the one-side, not prepared.

Gregory, right now, we have articles appearing in foreign affairs talking about under Crimea

by the Ukrainian forces. This Kamehjur War looks to be growing to something that is much

more sinister, a war by NATO. Is that the direction we're moving in, especially this talk of

Take Crimea? The Ukrainians are pushing for NATO to intervene. The Ukrainians are pushing

for the United States to intervene, and there are certain elements, real hawks, within the

Biden administration, who would love to see that happen because they are totally ignorant

of the consequences of that action. But the reality is that all of the markers go against

that kind of decision occurring. And I think the article in foreign affairs, which we just

saw by the former Ukrainian defense minister, which was entitled the case for taking Crimea

and saying why Ukraine can and should liberate the province, is actually a sign of desperation

by the Ukrainian government because they know the President Zelensky and his team know

that all of the markers are against them. The winter is turning their support base away,

Germany, Poland, and so on. They don't have the resilience to fund the major war against

Russia. They don't want a major war against Russia. And only a few armchair ideologues in

Washington seem to really want it, along with, of course, President Zelensky and his team.
