Sanchez Effect is a journalistic rebellion. RT’s flagship program is led by Rick Sanchez, the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning newsman who’s made a career out of defying the status quo.. “When only one side of a story is permitted, that’s when I push harder. If Moscow is deemed off-limits, it’s precisely where I want to be. Because more often than not, truth resides in the places we’re told not to look.”

00:00:35Okay, so this is what you need to know about today. First of all, Trump just came out and he
00:00:39just said this about Zelensky.
00:00:42Watch, that's a war that should have never started,
00:00:46and I think it's time for Ukraine to get new president. Wow,
00:00:50time for Ukraine to get new president, is that crazy to
00:00:53of say or is it the truth about
00:00:55of what uven the people inside Ukraine are actually
00:00:58thinking? foreign secretary lease trusts and
00:01:02uh she told him that Britain's aim was for the war
00:01:06continue for as long as possible to bleed out the Russians.
00:01:10The price of this brave warding is actually the nation of Ukraine.
00:01:14The price is the nation of Ukraine and the Ukrainian
00:01:17people, is is that what the actual uh
00:01:21real
00:01:22and and and growing
00:01:23of national sentiment is these days in Ukraine? Well, if it is,
00:01:27apparently nobody in the western media knows about it because... Look at how this
00:01:30reporter has you has the Zelensky on and then
00:01:34defends him with this
00:01:37of question. It's not just President Trump, we also heard from
00:01:40Elon Musk saying Zelensky has gone too
00:01:44far. Why are they blaming you for the
00:01:47continuation of this
00:01:48of war? Why are they blaming you, Mother Teresa? You've
00:01:52never done anything
00:02:18there is headlining the fact that Mr. Putin and Mr. Trump got together and they did
00:02:21this diesel deal, and then Trump smacked Zelensky
00:02:25down again with big smackdown, right, and look, I'm not saying
00:02:29that's not..." a big deal, I'm not saying that's not noteworthy, I'm not saying it's not newsworthy,
00:02:33obviously is, but I
00:02:48something which is the complete opposite of that cooperation, you see, well
00:02:52everybody else was talking about the smackdown and the deal, Russia's
00:02:55data
00:02:56of centers were being bombed, three
00:02:59in of them, and them did quite a significant amount of damage, this
00:03:03drone attack at the
00:03:04of main
00:03:05of yandex facility in Sassovo, knocked out
00:03:09two Russian supercomputers, so just think
00:03:12of about it right, while the United States president was doing a
00:03:16diesel deal with Moscow in
00:03:18in Miami, my hometown, somebody else in the United States was
00:03:22bombing Russia's data
00:03:35goes back to the question I asked Mr. Putin when I met with him
00:03:39in valday, listen, you've talked about Minsk,
00:03:43you were ready to deal, you've talked about Istanbul, you were ready to
00:03:46deal, we've talked about anchorage, you
00:03:49I think had deal or a compromise that you were all but ready to
00:03:53agree to, and uh, in all of those instances you seem to be
00:03:57turned down,
00:03:58of so my question is, given how many times sir, you have been turned down,
00:04:02and given what's going on right now in this conflict, why should you
00:04:06negotiate? after this question, i don't
00:04:10have to answer, i know he's trying to be funny
00:04:14there, but president is actually kind of reflective
00:04:18right of what
00:04:19of he really thinks, think in that one moment, in the immediacy
00:04:22of the moment as he was listening to my question, what
00:04:24he seem to be asking himself is, yeah,
00:04:28why do i
00:04:29a continue to negotiate with these people, that's kind of what I think he was
00:04:33saying, no, and so here's the
00:04:36of question, who is hitting Russia's data
00:04:39centers as the president of Russia and the
00:04:42of president
00:04:42of the United States are shaking hands a deal? It's kind of weird
00:04:46right, the likely answer
00:04:48of is this guy, see this guy right here, that's Google's former
00:04:52CEO Eric Schmidt, you're wondering why is the
00:04:56former CEO of Google have anything to do with this, well by no small coincidence.
00:05:00This guy is now managing part of Ukraine's drone attacks against
00:05:03Russia, right? And he just,
00:05:07of and he's now hitting Russia's data centers.
00:05:10Google, makes sense, right? "listen to what he said
00:05:14year ago, listen to what he said year ago about what
00:05:17may need to be done in the future so
00:05:21that the US and its western
00:05:24allies can continue to have complete
00:05:28dominance over artificial intelligence in the
00:05:31future. so what am I going to do? the
00:05:34first, the first thing I'm going to do is try to steal all your
00:05:38code, and you've prevented that cuuse you're good, and you you were good." So
00:05:42so you're still good at google, second, then I'm going to
00:05:46infiltrate you with humans, well you've got good protections against that, we don't have
00:05:50spies, so what do I do, I'm going to
00:05:54go in and I'm going to change your model, I'm going to modify it, I'm going to
00:05:57actually screw you up to get me so I'm one day ahead of you, and
00:06:01you're so good I can't do that, what's my next choice,
00:06:05bomb your data center, wow, now do you think
00:06:09I'm insane, these... are
00:06:13occurring around nuclear opponents today in
00:06:17our world, there are legitimate people saying the only
00:06:20solution to this problem is preemption, nuclear
00:06:24opponents, i wonder who he's talking about, let me
00:06:28see, china, russia, oh, and whose
00:06:32data centers were bombed, his word, last
00:06:36night, and the night before, and the night before
00:06:38that, he said it year
00:06:42ago and... and it happened, I don't know,
00:06:46so while Trump is doing a deal with Mr. Putin for diesel, the administrative
00:06:50state, guys like this, the people who really run the United States of
00:06:53America, are literally bombing
00:06:56Russia, of course using Ukraine as a proxy and saying
00:07:00they did it, they didn't do it, so just by the way,
00:07:04here's here's a great question that I want you to think about, does Trump even
00:07:07know that this is going on, does does he even know this
00:07:11happened? "you know, I don't know, maybe
00:07:15not. I mean, that's how crazy things are in the United
00:07:19States right now. Uh, but of course the big story
00:07:22was, as I mentioned at the beginning, Mr. Trump making this comment about Mr.
00:07:26Zelensky, that really did go around the world in like half a
00:07:30minute. Listen to it. We said you can do
00:07:34whatever you want to Russia, don't hit the refineries, because that's a
00:07:37world problem that's caused, and he wants to make problems
00:07:41for the world." "he wants to make problems for our farmers, our renchers.
00:07:45That's a war that should have never started, and I think it's time for
00:07:49Ukraine to get new president. I think it's time for
00:07:52Ukraine to get new president. Yeah,
00:07:56wow, hell, right? The US president saying he
00:07:59is done with uh, with him, done with Zelensky,
00:08:03wants him out, wants to work with somebody else, not
00:08:07Zelensky, they need new president, so by
00:08:11the way, here here's..." as expected by the
00:08:15way, you can set your clock by it, so what happened right after
00:08:18Mr. Trump said that? well, as
00:08:22expected, Zelensky went running,
00:08:25you know, to his
00:08:28enablers, a, the western media,
00:08:32American media, for example, those elites who
00:08:35think that Zelensky walks on
00:08:38water, and be the European
00:08:41elites. the politicians who treat this guy like he's
00:08:45Churchill, so Zelensky's first stop was
00:08:49ABC News, they're horrible uh, watch and
00:08:53listen to how this reporter or reporter want to
00:08:57be, who, like many in the US media, probably has a
00:09:00Ukrainian flag hanging in his office, look how he
00:09:04frames this question to Zelensky. It's not just
00:09:08President Trump, we also heard from Elon Musk saying
00:09:11Zelensky. has gone too far, why are they
00:09:15blaming you for the continuation of this war?
00:09:19can you imagine talk about giving yourself away? why
00:09:23are they blaming you, you wonderful sweet
00:09:26man, you've never done anything wrong in your entire
00:09:30life, you're such a good guy, you
00:09:33shouldn't do this, this is terrible,
00:09:37mean, didn't that sound like that? this is a
00:09:41perfect example of why the american people are
00:09:45so stupid when it comes to anything outside their own
00:09:48borders, because they've got idiots like this in the media, and
00:09:52by the way, the BBC does it too, and
00:09:55and and lamon does it too, but they feed them this kind of
00:09:58stupid stuff, I mean, listen,
00:10:02listen again to how this question is is
00:10:06posed
00:10:07to to frame Zelensky as if he's mother teresa, play it again,
00:10:10jean, President Trump, we also heard from
00:10:14Elon Musk saying Zelensky has gone too
00:10:18far, why are they blaming you for the
00:10:21continuation
00:10:22of this war? does this guy know what's going? in this war? has he
00:10:26does he? mean, does he watch anything other than CNN? i don't
00:10:30know. let's see, should we talk about the
00:10:33provocation that maybe caused Russia to get
00:10:37involved in this thing? never mind that, never mind that
00:10:41Zelansky ran as a peace candidate and then took tons
00:10:45of money to become something very different.
00:10:49never mind that for at least the last five months, maybe six months,
00:10:53Ukraine has been lobbing. attacking
00:10:56you know uh drones and
00:10:59killing civilians in Russia and hitting
00:11:03civilian infrastructure. I mean, I think that's been in the news right? I guess not
00:11:06in the United States. Nevermind that there are
00:11:10huge corruption scandals, there's one going on right now.
00:11:14Nevermind the fact that Mr. Zelensky is being incentivized, we
00:11:18know this and the people around him to the tune of hundreds of
00:11:21billions of dollars to continue the war. not to
00:11:25stop, not to come up with deal, to continue the war. never
00:11:29mind that he's already turned down three, viiable
00:11:33peace deals. three, never mind any
00:11:37of that. the real question here is, oh
00:11:41my god, why are they blaming you, you sweet, wonderful,
00:11:44gorgeous little man, you're so
00:11:47innocent.
00:11:52it's crazy, meanwhile leader. in France and Britain
00:11:56and Finland and Norway and Poland and Germany all boom
00:11:59immediately reached out to Zolensky, they called him on the
00:12:02phone, offering a shoulder so he can come and
00:12:05cry on that
00:12:07shoulder, and then there's the EU's
00:12:10Kiakalis, she said she would oppose Mr. Trump's
00:12:14deal with Russia because it helps
00:12:16Russia, that's literally what she said,
00:12:20this is crazy, it'll help Russia, well yeah, that's that's how deals work,
00:12:24when when... when you have something you need in business, you do deal
00:12:28with somebody and both benefit from it, they have something you want, you
00:12:32do deal, you, and and and that I don't, Mrs. Callice doesn't
00:12:36understand that, I guess, it's too sophisticated a concept
00:12:39for her brain, this is woman not exactly
00:12:43known for her sophisticated ideas, right, and
00:12:47she also has like
00:12:48a vinegar like hatred of Russia, and it knows no
00:12:51bounds, which is fine, I mean, you're f.
00:12:55everybody's allowed to hate whoever the hell they want to hate. the question
00:12:59is, is it good for the people of Europe? of course
00:13:02it's not, of course it's not. just
00:13:14are now gonna get cheap diesel, while European
00:13:18farmers and businesses are going to get
00:13:20screwed, right? that's it, that's the story a
00:13:24nutshell. and right about the same time, Ursela
00:13:28Vanderlion delivers her state the Union speech at the
00:13:31EU and says that the Europeans under
00:13:35her leadership are now economically so much
00:13:39better off than they were before, really here,
00:13:42listen, if I look at Europe today,
00:13:46I would say the state of our union is the
00:13:50strongest it has ever been, and a stronger,
00:13:54more... Europe is now emerging, that
00:13:58is a Europe that is securing its prosperity, one that is
00:14:02breaking free from the toxic dependency on Russian fossil
00:14:05fuels. Yeah, that's it, right? It's
00:14:09crazy. She she's basically goes if you listen to the whole
00:14:13thing, she's defending her decision to choose oil and gas from
00:14:16the United States and from the Gulf countries, even though those
00:14:20countries
00:14:21by by the way, even though it's way more expensive, and now there's none of it.
00:14:25'there there is oil and gas to give her, especially when it comes
00:14:29to diesel, and it's about to get worse because there's no end in sight for this
00:14:33shortage, so so
00:14:35what is she talking about again? uh, let's see, you get one
00:14:39guess, yeah, you got it right, sanctioning Russia, we got
00:14:43to punish Russia some more, ding, ding, ding, right, you are
00:14:46correct, sir, it's kind of lunacy,
00:14:50right, talk about a self-inflicted wound, not for her,
00:14:54she doesn't give crab'. she's got a driver, she doesn't go pump her own
00:14:57gas, but it's tough
00:14:59for the people who live in Europe, it's got to be, I don't live there, but I mean I'm hearing
00:15:03and reading the stories, it's no wonder that more than half
00:15:07the people in in her own body, in the
00:15:10EU, right, stood and applauded a couple of
00:15:14years ago when a polish MEP stood up and said this
00:15:17about Vanderlion, look, look what this woman from
00:15:21Poland uh, this MEP said to Vanderlion back then.
00:15:37previous term was huge mistake, and some people are still suffering the
00:15:41consequences of that decision, you are the face of all the EU's
00:15:45climate madness, which is leading to the fact that we, the Europeans are
00:15:48becoming increasingly poorer, and you know what we think of your
00:15:52European green
00:16:02deal that uh Russia just did with the United States is going
00:16:06to be worth about $7 billion. right away for Russia, boom,
00:16:09right, by
00:16:11the way, and and that's not that much for economy the size of Russia, but but then again it
00:16:15isn't bad, and it also isn't bad for the United States consumers who are likely going to see
00:16:19their diesel prices drop 20, 22
00:16:22cents, something like that, well again, European
00:16:26consumers are going to continue to pay through the nose,
00:16:29why? so that Vanderlaon and Ruta and all
00:16:33these guys can help Mr. Zelensky, but here's the
00:16:37question. that we have to ask, yeah, they may be
00:16:40helping, he's loving it, more money,
00:16:43more money, more money, right,
00:16:46boom, boom, however, is that
00:16:49hurting the ukrainian people, in the
00:16:52end, yeah, the money is going to Ukraine, but is the average
00:16:56Ukrainian being helped by this, listen to what Yulia
00:16:59mendel over the weekend, I saw this, I wanted to share this with you, this is
00:17:03Zelensky's former spokeswoman, you remember she was on with Tucker, and
00:17:06she's... Again this time with Danny Davis, look what she has to say uh
00:17:10to to Vanderlion and to Ruta and to Merts and to Macron and these
00:17:14guys uh and other European elites who cow
00:17:18tow to Zolensky. One
00:17:21journalist met with uh at that
00:17:24moment uh foreign secretary lease Trus
00:17:27and she told him that Britain's aim was for
00:17:31the war continue for as long as possible to bleed out the
00:17:35Russians and "this is you know something
00:17:39that is um very offensive for the Ukrainian people because the price of
00:17:43this brave warding is actually the nation of Ukraine. I just
00:17:47want to tell to your people, to to your
00:17:49audience
00:17:51that um, you know, if any western country, a western leader appeared in the
00:17:55situation in which Ukraine is now, they would never never continue
00:17:59the strategies that are failed and that do not work. She
00:18:03paints a really horrible picture of what's going on right now
00:18:06in uh..." Ukraine and you know by the way, when I say horrible picture of what's
00:18:10going on in Ukraine, I mean this is not a game right, horrible for the people who are
00:18:14actually living inside of that frame that she just
00:18:17painted, but you know for the European
00:18:21and uh the Americans and the elites who
00:18:25make these decisions, she she just said it, she said it doesn't matter to them, they don't
00:18:28care, right, the
00:18:31the people of Ukraine don't matter to them because that is not
00:18:35what this war is about. for them, that's pretty
00:18:39clear, and sad.
00:18:43good people in Ukraine joining us now to talk about this as ambassador, uh, Craig
00:18:47Murray, he's a Scottish author, he's a human rights activist,
00:18:51he's a blogger, known most of all for telling the truth about how the
00:18:54British used in information that was obtained uh
00:18:58using uh torture in uh
00:19:12what you think of my assessment of what's going on right
00:19:16now with the situation in Ukraine. it it does seem doesn't it?
00:19:19like
00:19:20the the Europeans are doing everything they possibly can to continue this
00:19:23war without really thinking about the effect it's having, especially
00:19:27on the Ukrainian people. i
00:19:31think you have to understand that for the elite the war itself is the
00:19:34point, they want for war to continue." they don't want it
00:19:38to end, the billions of pounds of
00:19:42profit being made out of this or huge amounts of money are
00:19:46slushing around, that's huge amounts of money going to the
00:19:50weapons manufacturers, huge amounts of money going to
00:19:53security and intelligence contractors, and of course Ukraine is
00:19:57probably the most corrupt country in the world, money
00:20:01is being ripped off
00:20:04uh, an extraordinary percentage. the
00:20:08money that's been given by the European Union, the United Kingdom, United States
00:20:12and others has simply been been stolen to the extent that we,
00:20:16we've all seen countless pictures by now with beef
00:20:19cases full of dollar bills, um, the
00:20:23uh, you you have the deputy head the state
00:20:26audits department in Ukraine flaunting a Lamborghini and the
00:20:30Bentley, that's the
00:20:32auditor, um, you
00:20:35know, but... "this this is making huge amounts of
00:20:39money, both in so-called legitimate ways and in obviously
00:20:43illegitimate ways for the European elite, and at the same time it's
00:20:46weakening Russia, because these people are rusophobic." " and and they
00:20:50had that as a name as well, so they they just want the war to continue, they don't
00:20:54want it to end, but comparatively speaking, it's not uh
00:20:58weakening Russia, I mean I'm sure it is, anytime you're at war, your country
00:21:02is is is going to be hurting, but the the numbers we just heard uh, Mr.
00:21:06Mandel talk about a country of that used to have 50 million
00:21:10people, now has 20 million people, a country that used to be this big is now this
00:21:14big uh, I mean those things are not happening in Russia, as
00:21:17matter of fact you know where the biggest mass population flow
00:21:21of immigrants from Ukraine is now living, Russia,
00:21:25right? Germany's two, Poland is three,
00:21:28so the reason I'm posing
00:21:32it this way and asking you this question, Mr. Ambassador, is you're right, they do
00:21:35this because they make money off of war, but do they not have eyes, do they not
00:21:39see the country is shrinking, do they not see the country is all about to
00:21:43become something much smaller than what it used to be, and that the people in that
00:21:47country
00:21:47is are suffering, do they not see that?
00:21:51"well they don't care, I mean they don't care at all, it does, it doesn't hurt the European
00:21:55elite for the people of Ukraine to suffer,
00:21:59um, that's the most important thing I
00:22:03think to um get your headround in studying international
00:22:06relations, but the idea that the uh western
00:22:10elites work for the good to be ordinary people their countries
00:22:14is just obviously wrong, they do things that are terribly
00:22:17help hurtful to the ordinary people. their countries,
00:22:21when Ukraine and and the United States blew up the north
00:22:25stream pipeline, it caused direct, it
00:22:28directly caused about half million unemployed people in
00:22:32Germany for example, and yet the German government supported
00:22:36it, first of all they pretended to believe it was the Russians that did
00:22:40it, and
00:22:40then even after it's now been plainly
00:22:44established, but it was the Ukrainians that did it with American help,
00:22:48the the German elite. still support it despite the
00:22:51massive damage it did to the German
00:22:55economy leading to total loss in German
00:22:58GDP of five to six percent at least um and
00:23:02they don't care but but they really don't the welfare the
00:23:06ordinary people their countries isn't important to them what's important to
00:23:10them is that the the rich can make money that that the
00:23:14people control the politicians can make money and there's nothing
00:23:17like a big war for making money. and you got
00:23:21you know you're not just some guy who I invited
00:23:25to my backyard barbecue spouting your
00:23:28opinions you know this you you've worked inside the
00:23:32system did you have do they
00:23:35know that we know what they're doing and do they not
00:23:39care I'm wondering when when you talk to your your fellow your
00:23:42colleagues when you were there even maybe today if you reach out and talk to some
00:23:46these guys do they know we figured this out?
00:23:52think um part the difficulty is for the
00:23:56percentage of a population who have figured it out though that percentage is
00:23:59growing is still not the majority the population because of course
00:24:03the same people also control uh the western media they
00:24:07control the television channels they control the newspapers they control
00:24:11hollywood the same people
00:24:12have bought uh tik tok and facebook and
00:24:14you there
00:24:18is still a very large degree of narrative control,
00:24:22and although
00:24:24it it is true that there is a growing percentage of a population of seen through
00:24:27it, that leave majority of people still haven't, the majority of people still
00:24:31accept what they are, they are forced in effect every time
00:24:35they turn on their television or radio or every time the look at social
00:24:38media, so um they feel happily
00:24:42and in control, and they they are worried
00:24:46about about popular perception throughout all the western countries.
00:24:50pretty well, there has been an epidemic of
00:24:54limitation on freedom of speech, an epidemic of
00:24:57authoritarian legislation, and so they they are
00:25:01bringing in extra measures to control the population, that's true,
00:25:04but by and large, the they are fairly confident in their
00:25:08control the mechanisms of
00:25:10narrative. I saw documentary
00:25:14yesterday, I was bored, I've always wanted to know about this,
00:25:18so I watched a documentary. about what the brits did
00:25:22in Kenya with the mawow, and I was
00:25:25flabbergasted, horrified watching this,
00:25:29and not only what they did, but what they then very
00:25:33carefully did to make sure that nobody knew that story,
00:25:37and you know, I knew I was going to be interviewing you today, so I wanted to ask you about
00:25:41that, buse I was, as I was watching that, I was thinking to myself, and I'll ask you the
00:25:44question, has anything changed, I know that was
00:25:48what the 50s, 60s. they did
00:25:50that,
00:25:54well nothing
00:25:55has changed in the morality or lack of it the british elite,
00:25:58but obviously what has changed is a bit and has
00:26:01less. physical control across the globe now, but it is
00:26:04astonishing the roots of how many
00:26:08modern conflicts go back to British
00:26:11imperialism, and there have
00:26:15been conflicts in in Kenya
00:26:18recently, in recent years, yeah, um,
00:26:21which go back to British disposession the land,
00:26:25bitten ethnically cleansed large areas of
00:26:29Kenya to put in white farmers instead, and that...
00:26:32caused um certain tribes to be moved from
00:26:36their land cleared into urban areas where they became
00:26:40in conflict with other tribes who were already there and that is
00:26:44actually the direct cause of recent conflict in Kenya. If
00:26:48you look at Yemen, it was a British
00:26:50occupation of Aden and the south of Yemen
00:26:54which caused an ident much the identity conflict between the north and south
00:26:58of those countries, but the number of current.
00:27:03conflic of course invented the very concept of Saudi
00:27:05Arabia and installed the royal
00:27:08family, the number of conflicts which go
00:27:12directly back to the British empire and and
00:27:16be sent you're right, we are not told of a crimes of British empire at
00:27:20all, it's still portrayed as this rather beneficient
00:27:23place civilizing and being
00:27:26civilization to the natives in f
00:27:29offlands, the truth is something much more... nasty and
00:27:33vicious and
00:27:39the you know, European
00:27:39most countries, including the Brits, are condemning the
00:27:43hoothies uh for the attacks on the Saudi
00:27:46Airport etc. They've release statement, they've they've called the
00:27:50actions the huties uh barbaric, and I'm thinking just like
00:27:54the ma, the same thing they called the ma, the same thing they called a lot the
00:27:58liberation groups in Africa when they went there and stole their land and raped
00:28:02them. and killed them and chopped up their arms and everything, they said they were
00:28:06the barbaric ones, what are you talking about, right? so I'm
00:28:09I'm looking here to your point uh, Mr. Ambassador,
00:28:13so the Brits and the Europeans are complaining about the Houties, I i think
00:28:17the hoothis are kind of an honorable bunch, even though they do fight
00:28:21wars and sandals, which I don't understand,
00:28:41billion france, UK made 7
00:28:45billion dollars in arms sales to the uh
00:28:48saudis, right? Germany, two billion, Spain,
00:28:52two billion, so to your point, of course they're
00:28:56calling the huti savages, they're they're bought and
00:29:00sold by the other side. 'I think
00:29:04that's that's true and and the extraordinary thing is that with this
00:29:07incredible imbalance of weapons because the
00:29:11um I think but those can't be all time totals because they've been
00:29:15individual deals that have been bigger than the total you gave for the
00:29:19UK for example this must be a recent
00:29:21period and well this was during this was
00:29:25during this was during the specific sorry I should have I should have clarified that
00:29:29thank you though
00:29:30for for for correcting me this was' only during the first
00:29:34Saudi Yemen war that these numbers, they've gone probably above
00:29:38that since then, yes, yeah, and they've gone way up
00:29:42past that, and the amount, the total amount of weapons
00:29:45the the anstal people have ever possessed, it's
00:29:49probably 5% of that,
00:29:53um, the, and yet the Saudis with all of
00:29:56that firepower, all of that modern equipment are unable to
00:30:00defeat them, and in fact continually... the the war
00:30:04has been over 20 year period,
00:30:08a continual process, the saudis losing ground,
00:30:12because they may have all the weaponry and all the money, but they have
00:30:15no belief in
00:30:17the in their own cause, and i was doing a little research
00:30:21yesterday, i was trying to tot up in the last 12 years
00:30:25since anstal have controlled
00:30:28the airports in senat,
00:30:32found 27 different times for saudis have bombed
