Are US/Western Soldiers Killed in Ukraine? You Might be Surprised!!

Oh, I'm already live. Hello everybody and welcome to Geopolitical Trends, where truth matters. Very excited to be with you on this last day— not last day, still one more day tomorrow, the end of, of August. So wow, summer came and gone. So Anyway, very, very excited because I'm going to be addressing a topic partially on this platform here, and we're going to continue the conversation on the next location. I'll provide you the link, but I already put a note for you guys there in the chat box just in case. For those who missed it, I am gonna put it again on the chat box here for you so you'll, uh, you will know, and, uh, we'll continue our conversation over there. So Anyway, what I will be talking about, I'll be talking about Ukraine today, you know, given some information which might not surprise. And as I mentioned, it would be naive of us to think that there are no foreign troops, including Americans. You know, I'm going to be talking about this one to a degree, but what I'm going to be also talking about is the downing of the F-16s. This is what— now, most of the reports that I read, it says that oh, it was a crash. That's what they're saying. The information I have says otherwise, and I am going to be sharing all this with you today. So before I'll do this, let me just say hi quickly to our wonderful community here. It's always nice to, uh, Stanley, good to see you here. Hang and G, good to see you, and thank you for your comments on the other platform. So I, I truly appreciate it. Zachary, good to see you here. And indeed, cover-up is part of it. Timeline Dunkley, as always. Uh, YouTube Z Super, uh, Matt Becky, Willie Holman, Thunderbolt, uh, uh, Farhad Razavi, as always. Wonky C, good to see you as always. Uh, Alice Talokin, good to see you here as well. Francis Tango, here you are. I was like, where is Francis here? So, so good to see you guys. Uh, I gotta share some housekeeping stuff with you guys tonight. I will be having my conversation with Carl Zah at 20:00 hours, which will be about, I think, 9 o'clock, 10 o'clock AM the next day in Southeast Asia, in Indonesia, that is. So I'll be having that conversation with Carl Zah. I look forward to that. And also on Saturday, I will be having the community conversation, the one we do just for us to talk. And I'm gonna decide whether to really finish the conversation on this platform because there are some things that I need you to know can be talked about here. You all know why. And, and, and the reason why I might do this to— on Saturday is for you to know, just for you to know. Uh, uh, uh, and I'll, I'll, I'll figure it out by tomorrow, actually by this afternoon, then I'll let you know. The other thing I want to share quickly with you guys here, and if you allow me, uh, please, because it's part of the transparency, uh, that I always, uh, do with you regarding, uh, my upcoming Asia trip. And yes, it's still on. As a matter of fact, uh, I'm going to show you where we are at as far as the fundraising for that trip. Here is a picture for you right there. This is where we are so far. So We are $2,000 short of the goal of this one. And FYI, my Asia trip is going to be next month, so it's set. The— all my other locations that I'm gonna— I'm not gonna— I'm not detailing, of course, when I'm going. I know you all know the reasons for why, but so far we are $2,000 short. So between now and the end of September, I hope we can reach that goal. But I'll take this opportunity to say thank you. To all of you who've been supporting, uh, this specifically Asia trip. Uh, I, I give shout out to the 4 individuals who wants to remain anonymous. That's their request. I honor that. Uh, some of, uh, 3 of them, 2 of them gave me $500 each, and 2 other gives $1,000 each. So to them I say thank you. So I just wanted to let you know where that is. All right, let's get into our topic, and we're going to ask the key questions here. And those are important, uh, for us to consider because of the, uh, uh, it's just the nature of it. And I'm going to share some pictures with you, personal pictures, when I was over there, uh, in, in Ukraine. Uh, one video I couldn't upload it, I don't know why it didn't work for me, but I have it, so I keep it for you for next time. So the next question is What are— why are US soldiers in Ukraine? When I say US, I'm referring to Western. Let me just tell you this. When I was— when I went to, uh, uh, uh, last time to Ukraine, let me, let me share pictures here so you guys will see. Uh, okay, I'm gonna share some screen with you guys here. And, and, and just to put things in perspective, because, uh, and I'll do the recording for you maybe on Saturday if I, if I can upload it here and, and, and go from there. So, all right, let me share the first picture with you. Let me make this bigger here so you can see full screen. Uh, here is the first one here, uh, Uh, those, as you say, this is, uh, this is, uh, uh, I think Kiev, and this is Kharkiv. I was on the border side, so this is what, uh, and I wanted to see things with my own eyes. So, and this is what I'm going to elaborate on later on on the other platform here. So this is a line of the new recruits. What I noticed was, because I was closer, just over the fence there, uh, some of them are Americans there, but the Americans were the one managing, uh, those recruits. And from— I spent time in Eastern Europe, so I kind of learned about, uh, how to differentiate, uh, uh, uh, one from, uh, let's say, uh, Czechoslovakia to one from Romania. So, and most of them, the one I noticed— and again, I could be wrong— were from Romania. That's the one, the, the one I noticed, uh, when I got closer. This is not a good picture because it was a rainy and foggy day. Uh, this is me inside the transportation model, and right here is Kiev, uh, about 600 kilometers, and Lviv, which about only 80 kilometers. So, uh, and, and, and it was the other, the other recording. I will share it with you later on. So, so that's why I'm asking the question, why are, uh, US soldiers, uh, uh, why are US soldiers in Ukraine? That's one. Second one is— here's the key— what is the government, our government, telling the families of the soldiers who've been killed over there? It is worth asking. So, so, and third question is, is NATO exposed? And this is exactly what we're going to be detailing, uh, partially, uh, on here before I'll move the conversation elsewhere about, uh, uh, 20 minutes or so. So So, uh, I came across an analysis by Jeff Sokol, or Sokol, that is, and I'm gonna put the link for you later on, guys. And, and he's a senior staff, uh, for the Task and Purpose. This one reports on the Department of Defense as a sort of an— as an entity, but also he does reporting on individual services. In other words, on the Army, on the Navy or the Air Force. So I, I, I'm aware of the guy. I did the my homework in checking out his credentials. Uh, solid. He, he is solid on, but not in the mainstream media because his reporting won't be in the mainstream media. Uh, not as a matter of fact, uh, even for example, this one here, guys, let's just start with this. Even this, you don't hear much about the downing of an F-16. It just happened 3 days ago. So, and I have the links, and I have the, the, uh, the, uh, uh, uh, what's it, a collaboration from two different sources confirming, uh, this is just for the Western audience to, uh, it's nothing but a sort of just, just for domestic consumption, no more, no less. So the idea that the minimum— and by the way, when Jeff did his reporting, that was a few months ago. So, and, and by the time I was there, I ran to a British individual, and I could tell— I'm a former military, you can know how someone walks, how someone talks, whether military or not. There is some sort of military bearing regarding the individual. And I could right there tell he's from the SAS. And I was like, right there, what are you doing here? Oh, we just came here to do some humanitarian, uh, regarding the food supply. Say, well, good, that's good for you. So, uh, because you kind of— they think that to him I was just an average civilian, and I don't like it that way. So to me it became clear, and based on what Jeff reporting did, because it was a conversation inside the Pentagon, it just— the decision was made not to release the information. 50 Americans have died inside Ukraine. So, and those ranging from retired, uh, uh, uh, ST6 SEAL team to the retired military and so forth. And I'm going to be sharing some with you right here. So, so now the question is, what does the government tell their loved ones? Because several of those families, you know, uh, that their loved one have died there, they have no idea. They have no idea how they die. So, and the second is the government telling them, yeah, your, your loved one was on a, on a humanitarian mission. And this is exactly what— well, based on that article, that's why Jeff went ahead with the number 50, because it was confirmed Americans have died in Ukraine were veterans. Those 50 that died, those are not civilians, those are former— they are veterans, former military. Uh, more than 20 of the fallen of them were Army veterans, including former Green Beret, and about 12 of them served in the US Marine Corps. So, and of course, it was, uh, one, one video, and I'm going to share the link with you on the other side, from a former, uh, not a SEAL team guy. So, and you kind of— in a SEAL team, it's small community, everybody knows everybody. So you You kind of like, this guy is not going to be just making up those numbers. The question is, what do Americans know about all this? So, and now all this wants to be hashed out or kept, uh, quiet about, especially with the downing of the F-16, because they just— Ukraine just got the F-16 and it was down already. So, uh, before I move forward, guys, I need you to know a little bit of geography and a little bit of history. So we're gonna do that here. Then we'll move the conversation on the other side. So let's do geography here, uh, because, uh, it's, it's, it's— you need to know. A lot, a lot of people here in the US do not even know where Ukraine is. No offense to anybody, it's the, the truth. And I decided to do the— and I give credit to the World Atlas. Now, by the way, you're gonna see even World Atlas sometimes they have to fit in the narrative of what the government So even the borders might be different, but we are not going to worry about that much. So, because I will tell you why in, in a second. So this is Ukraine, what are you looking at? So, so when you think about Ukraine, you know, it's, it's in Eastern Europe, uh, that, that's what it is. It is situated in the northern and eastern hemisphere of the Earth. Ukraine borders about 7, uh, countries. So funny how even it's worded here, and you will know why. Uh, uh, by Belarus to the north, Hungary, Slovakia, and Poland to the west, Moldova and Romania to the southwest, and Russia in the east and northeast. It is also bounded by a body of waters that included the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov in the south, and of course Crimea to the south. Interesting enough is that they are saying on the— on this, uh, record here, the Autonomous Republic of, of, uh, Crimea. Well, you all know Crimea is part of Russia, and as a matter of fact, this leads me to talk to you about the history aspect of it because it is uh, oh, I didn't share the screen, did I? Oh man, share screen. Let me— because, uh, yeah, here we go. Oh, I didn't share it. I'm sorry. Here's the, here's the, here's the map right here, guys. So if you notice, I'm going to scroll down here where Odessa is and where you got— where Kherson is and Crimea. So if you notice the lines here Those are the— that's supposed to be part of Russia, not— but the borders for Ukraine. So again, political maps can be also manipulative by design. That's just the normal fact. This is why, uh, once you guys, if you ever, uh, get a chance to do the, you know, PhD, whatever higher, uh, degrees, when you did the research, you You're gonna have to differentiate between, for example, economic map, political map, geographical map, and so each one of them has its own connotations to it. So, so regarding Crimea, because it's very important to understand part of the history as well, so it becomes the question of why, uh, sort of Crimea was given as a gift to Ukraine. Well, the delivery, because it was given by— who give it? Who? Here's question for you guys: who gifted Crimea to Ukraine? If you can type in, in the chat box, please. Crimea is part of Russia and has been. That is true, Khadija, that is true. It was, uh, Oh no, no, no, no, not Alistair Loken. I, I think I know what you mean, but not Gorbachev. It's Nikita Khrushchev. So I know what you meant, I know what you meant. Uh, uh, uh, Rumples 01, you got it. Nikita Khrushchev is the one, and I have a picture. I think I have a picture of him. Yeah, let me, let me share picture with you here, guys. It's always nice to see Nikita Khrushchev and And, uh, and I'm gonna ask you another question famous about him, uh, Nikita Khrushchev. So I'm gonna upload the picture here for you guys, just bear with me please. Nikita Khrushchev. And I'm gonna do two pictures for you. These are from the archives, by the way, so it's not a— it's a black and white But you got the idea here. And, and I detailed more about this in my, uh, in, in my, uh, in my Russia book, uh, when you get a chance to— I'm gonna upload it for you guys soon. I detailed more the history, uh, which I spent the whole chapter, about 35 pages, uh, breaking it down for people to know. So, so for the reader rather. So here is the picture of Nikita Khrushchev, and, and this is the famous one. What is this one here, guys? Do you know the other famous thing Nikita Khrushchev did? It's well known in, in, in the world of politics. If anybody can type, what, what was it? And again, just to share knowledge with you guys here, it's well known, well known in the world of politics. Let, let me see the, uh, in the chat box what you guys put in. Uh, yes, the Cuba Missile Crisis. Yes, he's throwing his shoes. That is correct. He was tapping the podium with his shoe. He took his shoes off, and that is what that picture is all about. It's a historic— it was very, very— and he was very shrewd politician, by the way. So, so it was Nikita Khrushchev that gifted the Crimea to Ukraine. So the delivery of the region from Russia to Ukraine was just a formality, by the way, during the years of the indestructible Soviet Union. Ukraine— it is what a lot of people do not know, and mainstream media is kind of cherry-picking the information. You know, I did the research. I spent 2 and a half years doing the research when I wrote my Russia book, just to filter facts from fiction. So, and I documented everything with the reference for it. So, so here is the thing. Is that, uh, Ukraine received such gifts on the occasion of the 300th anniversary since unification with Russia. In other words, when Ukraine became part of Russia. That's why Ukraine has always been part of Russia— 300— Soviet Union, I'm sorry, the Empire, Russian Empire. 300 years anniversary. So just let that sink in. So it could never occur to anyone back in those days that the USSR will collapse. Of course, what happened in 1991, and that Ukraine will no longer be part of it, you know. This is what's important about it, and I'm going to provide you a link for all this because you need to understand this part of history, uh, just about Crimea itself. So But I'm gonna also share briefly here, uh, with you, uh, a little bit of history, getting briefly into the topic, and we'll go to the other location. All right, here's the thing. When you think about the history of, of, of Crimea, of course, of course you're gonna have to start— what year are you gonna start? I'm gonna ask you guys. When you think about the history of, of, of— I'm sorry, not Crimea, of Ukraine. What year you're gonna have to start from? Out of curiosity, can you guys type in the, the year? It should also be known to you because of the major event that took place in world politics. Just type in the year, just the year. Uh, 680. No, no, no, you want too far back. We're talking about recent. Uh, uh, Thunderbolt, you got it, 1991. This is where you're going to have to think of the history of Ukraine starting from that. So, and again, it's more detail, and I'm going to just briefly, before I'll get in quickly and go to other locations. So, so what do you think about? You have to think about Leonid Kravchuk, who was the leader of the Ukrainian Socialist Soviet Republic back then when he declared the independence from Moscow. And it was in a referendum and presidential elections. So Ukrainians approve independence and elect Kravchuk as president. That was 1991. Fast forward to 1994, Kravchuk, uh, loses presidential election to, uh, Leonid Kuchma. Now, Kuchma was a former communist himself And, uh, and this is where the problems of the election started, because, uh, uh, Krachkov declared or deemed that the elections were not, uh, uh, uh, uh, sort of, uh, not fair. Kuchma, on the other hand, said the elections were fair by the observers. Fast forward to 1999, Kuchma is reelected in 1999 in a vote— this is according to Western, uh, narrative— riddled with irregularities. In other words, fraud. So, and I have a picture here that I need to show you so you can at least put a face to a name here, uh, and, and it's worth understanding, guys. It is worth understanding those parts of history. It'll give you a better understanding and put things in perspective. So what you're looking at right here, this is Boris Yeltsin back for Soviet Union, Vladimir Putin, then Dmitry Medvedev who took over, then, uh, Vladimir Putin's been, uh, president since 2002. Now on the bottom for Ukraine, this is the picture of, uh, Kravchuk, then Leonid Kushma, then Viktor Yushchenko, okay, then Yanukovych, then Petro Povetsko, then of course the comedian, uh, the comedian Z. So this is how, how it worked in the, uh, for, for the, uh, Ukrainian election. So, so 2004, what happened? Pro-Russian candidate Viktor Yanukovych is declared president. However, the opposition declared that it was allegations of voting rigging and so forth. You all know the story for that. And that's what paved the way for the Orange Revolution. You all remember. Because why? Because one of them wanted to be, uh, aligned with Moscow. The other one wants to be aligned with the EU. So, and this is where Viktor Yushchenko was elected as president. 2005, Yushchenko takes power with a promise to lead Ukraine out of the Kremlin orbit. So you can just see, so towards NATO and the European Union. He appoints former energy company boss Yulia Yuriy Tymoshenko. I'm sure you heard about her. I read a lot about her. And this is also during the time when the issues of the— our current president and his son were involved. And I'll— if, if, if time comes, I'll address this one on the other, because there is a lot to be, uh, uh, disclosed about this one here. Now, 2008 was very crucial. Why? Because NATO promised Ukraine, it will one day join the alliance. We all know what it means, right? So 2010, Yanukovich— or Yanukovich rather— defeats Tomyshenko in the presidential elections. Russia and Ukraine clinch in a gas price deal— and that pricing deal rather. 2013, '14— and it's '14 exactly where the turnaround was— the protest largely focused around Kiev, Maidan Square. And you all know what happened after that one, and I'm not gonna, uh, detail much about this one here. So, so let me get in into the conversation, uh, on this one here before I'll sign off here and go to the other, uh, uh, location. Like I mentioned, one of the thing now that most mainstream media in the West is saying that, uh, Ukraine says one of its Western donated F-16 warplane has crashed. It is said it was a crash, not shot down by the Russians. So this is— this one I found was published right here in the US in Anchorage Daily News. I found also some European, uh, media outlets saying the same, but other ones are saying no, they are Russia that shut down the F-16. Where is the problem with this? The problem is that The, the F-16s is coming out of two countries, Poland and Romania, which is problematic. This is why Poland yesterday made a decision by telling Ukraine, we done with supporting you. Same thing Germany just declared, we done with supporting you. So, and you put this in the perspective of the dead Americans, the dead British, and look just what France had said few months ago. You all remember when Macron said, oh, I'm going to send my troops to Ukraine. It was nothing but hype, no more, no less. So, uh, this is exactly where the problem that is going on, and I am going to tackle the detail of this right on as I finish this one here quickly and go on the other location. So, so when we think about the presence of US forces or Western forces We shouldn't be naive to think, oh, that can't be, that's Ukrainian fighting. Yeah, it's Ukrainian. They have lost over half a million people so far. Yeah, it's not disclosed. Oh, a few thousands, 100, 200,000 lost. No, it's over half a million. As a matter of fact, some stats that I looked at, it reached up to 700,000. That is where the problem is. And, uh, so when you think about the, uh, dead American soldiers that end up going there— and soldiers, by the way, that have left the US military, those are retired, uh, special ops, uh, Green Berets and so forth— none of them still as of today. The ones I saw with my own eyes on the border, they were just managing their new recruits. And as a matter of fact, The ones I saw wearing the uniform were from my former units right there. That's my former unit, 1st Cav, for those military who would know. And this is where you notice that the death of the Americans is not new. You have to go back to the, uh, uh, Bakhmut when the fierce fighting took place over there. So this when it's all started, but the media decided to keep a lid on this because the US government had to explain to the families of those dead, uh, individuals. Uh, and again, the question becomes is, what are they doing there? Maybe for paycheck, maybe. I mean, I'm— we're not here to judge. We're not here to judge, guys. We don't know what the circumstances of each one of them. The military here is not treating well our soldiers. I mean, you got a poor— I mean, when you go drive in the street, it breaks my heart to see a veteran panhandling in the streets because he has nothing to eat. So don't ever get me started on that. I'm gonna sign off here, guys, because I'm gonna get into some topics, and I will see you in the next location. Here is the, uh, I'm gonna put the link in the chat box for you guys, then, then I will see you there shortly. Actually, you can see it right here. Right here, guys. Oh no, no, no, no, no, not this one. Sorry, my apologies. It's right here, and I'm gonna type it in a chat box for you as well. Okay guys, I will see you in, in about 2 minutes, literally, or 3. So hopefully I won't have any, any, any, uh, technological hiccup with this. All right guys, see you shortly. And stream.
