22
00:01:01.240 --> 00:01:03.320
<v Speaker 1>to talk to Daniel Davis doing the Daniel Davis Deep

23
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:06.959
<v Speaker 1>Dive with retired Lieutenant colonel of course, Daniel Davis, Welcome back,

24
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:10.079
<v Speaker 1>my friend. It's always a pleasure having you on the program.

25
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:12.680
<v Speaker 3>Always good to see you, Brian, good morning. Always had

26
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:16.400
<v Speaker 3>a conversation. Though global conflict is the subject matter we

27
00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:18.599
<v Speaker 3>go over with Daniel Davis every week, and as we

28
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:21.959
<v Speaker 3>have been for quite a few months. Now, let's start

29
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:24.000
<v Speaker 3>with We're going to move over to talk about Israel

30
00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:25.640
<v Speaker 3>and Gaza, but let's start with Russia.

31
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:30.079
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know. My perception of the news of

32
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:33.359
<v Speaker 1>late is that Vladi Putin's really just not interested in

33
00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:35.280
<v Speaker 1>settling this thing and he's just going to continue to

34
00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:38.959
<v Speaker 1>wage war and take over more and more of Ukraine.

35
00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:42.519
<v Speaker 1>If I got that just sort of summed up well enough.

36
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:45.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's not a change. Though the Russians have been saying,

37
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:49.560
<v Speaker 3>especially since Trump was inaugurated, that they're willing to make

38
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:53.159
<v Speaker 3>a deal, but the terms are very draconian, very hard,

39
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:56.519
<v Speaker 3>and they have said unambiguously in the open, not in

40
00:01:56.680 --> 00:02:00.640
<v Speaker 3>back diplomatic channels that either they'll get this on they'll

41
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:04.760
<v Speaker 3>achieve their security objectives on the negotiating table or on

42
00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:08.879
<v Speaker 3>the battlefield. I actually had the deputy Russian UN ambassador

43
00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:11.360
<v Speaker 3>on my show last week and I point blank ask

44
00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:13.360
<v Speaker 3>him that, I said, if you don't get it, will

45
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:16.000
<v Speaker 3>you keep fighting? And he almost dismissed and said, well,

46
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:19.439
<v Speaker 3>we've never said anything besides that, So yes, that's the case.

47
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:21.080
<v Speaker 3>And now then we see it playing out on the

48
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:24.520
<v Speaker 3>battlefield and Russia, from what I can observe along the

49
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:27.800
<v Speaker 3>entire front line, Russia is making preparations now as though

50
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:31.479
<v Speaker 3>there won't be any negotiated settlement and they'll continue on forward.

51
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:34.080
<v Speaker 3>And the moves are not good from the Ukraine side,

52
00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:37.639
<v Speaker 3>and don't pretend well, which should signal that they need

53
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:40.319
<v Speaker 3>to finally just suck down their pride and make a

54
00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:43.560
<v Speaker 3>negotiated deal on bad terms, because right now it's either

55
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:46.360
<v Speaker 3>bad terms or no terms at all, and except for

56
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:47.319
<v Speaker 3>terms of surrender.

57
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:50.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's my perception of the events going on. And

58
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:54.560
<v Speaker 1>didn't I read the other day that Ukraine launched into

59
00:02:54.840 --> 00:03:00.479
<v Speaker 1>Russian territory a strike and is my recollection that wrong?

60
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:05.120
<v Speaker 1>That they're still firing off drones or whatever into Russian territory.

61
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:09.439
<v Speaker 3>Brian that was last not again, Okay, I did consecutive notes.

62
00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:13.960
<v Speaker 3>They have fired into into Moscow in attempt to disrupt

63
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:18.240
<v Speaker 3>putens may not celebration. Zelensky has openly said, I can't

64
00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:22.639
<v Speaker 3>guarantee anybody's safety who's attending that parade, So it's continuing

65
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:22.919
<v Speaker 3>to go.

66
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:27.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, zero military benefit, none, that's I don't even think

67
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:29.520
<v Speaker 1>that can have a psychological benefit other than to rile

68
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:31.840
<v Speaker 1>the Russians up even further, to want to run the

69
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:35.039
<v Speaker 1>Ukrainians out of the out of existence. That just and

70
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:37.479
<v Speaker 1>it has no military benefit to the Ukrainians. If they've

71
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:40.280
<v Speaker 1>got any missiles left, shouldn't they be lobbing them at

72
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:41.159
<v Speaker 1>the Russian front?

73
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:43.960
<v Speaker 3>Listen, I just got to tell you there is an

74
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:46.319
<v Speaker 3>opening in the White House for National Security advisor and

75
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:49.360
<v Speaker 3>you should apply. So you've got it spot on. That

76
00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:52.319
<v Speaker 3>is exactly right. There's no military value, not even especially

77
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:55.400
<v Speaker 3>not tactical. But only thing that can if they succeed

78
00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:58.360
<v Speaker 3>at this, especially if they do anything to disrupt the

79
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:01.680
<v Speaker 3>actual ceremony itself on the not is to enrage the

80
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:04.919
<v Speaker 3>questions and make them drive even harder. So yes, you're

81
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:05.360
<v Speaker 3>spot on.

82
00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:08.280
<v Speaker 1>I you know, terrorist attacks is one of the reasons

83
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:11.120
<v Speaker 1>we end up in the Middle East for a decade plus, right,

84
00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:14.479
<v Speaker 1>you know, you enrage a society of people, they are

85
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:17.160
<v Speaker 1>going to stand up and rise up and go after you.

86
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:19.240
<v Speaker 1>So again, I don't understand what the hell's going on

87
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:22.160
<v Speaker 1>in Zelensky's mind, but then again, I don't know that

88
00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:25.279
<v Speaker 1>anybody does. So if it's gonna settle, it's gonna resolve,

89
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:27.720
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna have to be Ukraine putting its you know,

90
00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:30.319
<v Speaker 1>have to suck it up, give up some territory in

91
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:32.920
<v Speaker 1>order to get some peace and end the slaughter of

92
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:35.439
<v Speaker 1>their civilians, because there's no way they can win this war.

93
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:38.639
<v Speaker 1>I think we've ended up at this place previously. Daiel

94
00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:41.079
<v Speaker 1>this right, I hate to laugh about it.

95
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:44.000
<v Speaker 3>There's there's no rational way to end in a different place.

96
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:46.680
<v Speaker 3>But as you said, Zelensky resumed today he was he

97
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:50.279
<v Speaker 3>was in the Czech Republic today signing some documents and

98
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:54.000
<v Speaker 3>still saying I was watching the press conference just before

99
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:56.279
<v Speaker 3>we came on the air here and and he's talking

100
00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:59.399
<v Speaker 3>likely that it's still a decision that could go either way,

101
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:01.879
<v Speaker 3>and we just need few more artillery shells and thanks

102
00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:04.879
<v Speaker 3>for this support here and all this no possibility, no

103
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:07.759
<v Speaker 3>hint that he's going to do anything differently, Okay, and.

104
00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:10.120
<v Speaker 1>Real quick before we pivot over to Israel and Kaza.

105
00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:16.360
<v Speaker 1>This minerals deal that we signed with Ukraine, that sounds

106
00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:19.079
<v Speaker 1>to me like it's going to establish an American footprint

107
00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:21.879
<v Speaker 1>by way of putting American business interest in there in

108
00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:25.279
<v Speaker 1>order to do extraction work, which provides a mechanism for

109
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:28.399
<v Speaker 1>us to have to stand up and defend American interest

110
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:30.759
<v Speaker 1>in a foreign country. I don't know if that's a

111
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:34.800
<v Speaker 1>positive development, Daniel Davis, your thoughts, Well, that.

112
00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:37.519
<v Speaker 3>First of all implies that some company is going to

113
00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:40.959
<v Speaker 3>be willing to put their people in harm's way. It's

114
00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:44.120
<v Speaker 3>also assumes that there's gonna be a Ukraine controlled area

115
00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:47.720
<v Speaker 3>to do these minerals distraction, and it implies that there's

116
00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:50.120
<v Speaker 3>gonna be billions of dollars and that's a bee or

117
00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:53.399
<v Speaker 3>at least hundreds of millions in infrastructure development, and that

118
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:56.800
<v Speaker 3>will take multiple years. So this is something that's kind

119
00:05:56.839 --> 00:05:59.000
<v Speaker 3>of a head scratcher to me because it has no

120
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:00.759
<v Speaker 3>near term impact one way or the other.

121
00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:03.360
<v Speaker 1>All right, fair enough, pivoting over to Gaza, a couple

122
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:06.759
<v Speaker 1>of headlines in front of the Israel prepares Operation Gideon's

123
00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:10.000
<v Speaker 1>Chariots to take over Gaza, clear Jamas over to ms

124
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:13.720
<v Speaker 1>or MSN. Israel plans to occupy and flatten all of

125
00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:18.560
<v Speaker 1>Gaza if no deal by Trump trip they got, I

126
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:21.160
<v Speaker 1>guess they claim they have enough resolve and enough resources

127
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:24.199
<v Speaker 1>to just, I don't know, wipe out whatever exists in

128
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:28.759
<v Speaker 1>Gaza and start from scratch. Daniel Davis, listen, I've been

129
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:30.439
<v Speaker 1>saying this, and I know some of your viewers don't

130
00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:32.959
<v Speaker 1>like it. Since this we started talking about this many

131
00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:37.439
<v Speaker 1>many months ago, Israel has choosing to use military means

132
00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:41.399
<v Speaker 1>to try and achieve the unattainable. You're not gonna kill

133
00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:44.480
<v Speaker 1>your way to victory here, And I mean, what have

134
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:47.079
<v Speaker 1>they not done over nineteen months that suddenly they're gonna

135
00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:50.120
<v Speaker 1>start doing now and get a different outcome you have?

136
00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:53.519
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the entire population is completely stoke. They have

137
00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:57.360
<v Speaker 1>no other alternatives. They can't even quote surrender, this idea

138
00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:00.399
<v Speaker 1>that they should voluntarily go somewhere else. Only there's nowhere

139
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:03.680
<v Speaker 1>else to take them, so they can't go anywhere else.

140
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:05.920
<v Speaker 3>So then what are you going to do? And every

141
00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:09.399
<v Speaker 3>time you kill somebody that's not a Hamas person. In

142
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:12.639
<v Speaker 3>all these attacks, you raise up more every time you

143
00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:15.439
<v Speaker 3>do kill somebody. There's no shortage of men that's going

144
00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:18.199
<v Speaker 3>to continue on the with the resistance. How could it

145
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:21.000
<v Speaker 3>be any other way? So I truly don't understand what

146
00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:22.079
<v Speaker 3>their objective is here.

147
00:07:22.399 --> 00:07:24.560
<v Speaker 1>Well, and I've read in a couple of different places

148
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:30.000
<v Speaker 1>this would require the moving I guess essentially evacuating more

149
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:31.839
<v Speaker 1>like two million people.

150
00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:35.279
<v Speaker 3>And to where that's exactly right? Where can they go

151
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:37.519
<v Speaker 3>in the God's drip? Because is you just read there

152
00:07:37.839 --> 00:07:41.720
<v Speaker 3>they're looking to demolish everything. There's nowhere left to go.

153
00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:44.600
<v Speaker 3>I mean you, they're basically on an existence right now.

154
00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:46.600
<v Speaker 3>And by the way, all the food ad has been

155
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:49.279
<v Speaker 3>cut off for weeks now, and there many people are

156
00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:52.680
<v Speaker 3>at risk of genuine starvation and some have already succumbed.

157
00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:54.920
<v Speaker 1>Well, I don't think it's a terrible situation. It is,

158
00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:56.920
<v Speaker 1>but it's been a terrible situation, got it for a

159
00:07:56.920 --> 00:07:59.839
<v Speaker 1>long time. But all the photographs that I see, and

160
00:07:59.879 --> 00:08:01.639
<v Speaker 1>I recognize they're only going to show the worst of

161
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:03.759
<v Speaker 1>the worst. But I just kind of scratch my head

162
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:06.800
<v Speaker 1>wondering what's left by way of infrastructure in Gaza that

163
00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:08.079
<v Speaker 1>that can be destroyed.

164
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:10.959
<v Speaker 3>Well, I mean yeah, and you see, it's not just

165
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:13.199
<v Speaker 3>that they're showing the worst of the worst. That's all

166
00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:15.720
<v Speaker 3>there is to see. There is only the worst of

167
00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:18.560
<v Speaker 3>the worst. And yeah, there's like shelves of buildings some places,

168
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:22.079
<v Speaker 3>and skeletons of buildings. Then those are also being demolished

169
00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:25.279
<v Speaker 3>until there is literally it's being raised to the ground.

170
00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:29.000
<v Speaker 3>And I don't see any military utility in this. I

171
00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:31.879
<v Speaker 3>don't see any political utility in this. It just looks

172
00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:34.639
<v Speaker 3>like they're just destroying the ability of these people to live.

173
00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:37.159
<v Speaker 1>And then they'll have to keep an occupying force in

174
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:40.440
<v Speaker 1>Gaza in order to maintain whatever definitely order that they

175
00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:41.320
<v Speaker 1>hope to achieve.

176
00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:44.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, even if they succeed tactically, and I don't know,

177
00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:46.639
<v Speaker 3>they just say, yes, we've done this, so we've conquered it.

178
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:49.440
<v Speaker 3>Now what Because you've got two million people there with

179
00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:52.519
<v Speaker 3>no place to live, you have to occupy it. And

180
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:54.720
<v Speaker 3>what are you gonna what's your army gonna do perpetually

181
00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:57.240
<v Speaker 3>stay there? I mean, what's the end state here? What

182
00:08:57.360 --> 00:09:01.559
<v Speaker 3>is the end objective? I just don't see anything that's good. No,

183
00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:04.360
<v Speaker 3>And you know, if you if you continue to occupy it.

184
00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:05.799
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how. I mean, if you have two

185
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:09.960
<v Speaker 1>million folks living in Gaza that they call it their home,

186
00:09:10.559 --> 00:09:13.759
<v Speaker 1>among them obviously people with a tremendous amount of hatred

187
00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:16.919
<v Speaker 1>for Israel and the occupying forces that would have to

188
00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:20.679
<v Speaker 1>remain there, you're setting yourself up for a whole lot

189
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:24.679
<v Speaker 1>of pot shots and sniper fire and IEDs. I mean,

190
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:30.080
<v Speaker 1>a perpetual battle from behind the scenes with an unorganized

191
00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:33.000
<v Speaker 1>military against the occupying forces. I mean, that's that's what

192
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:36.600
<v Speaker 1>you're you're asking for. I mean, that's and we've seen

193
00:09:36.600 --> 00:09:37.200
<v Speaker 1>this in history.

194
00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:40.279
<v Speaker 3>We certainly saw a lot with the Partisans against the

195
00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:44.440
<v Speaker 3>Germans in France, with the Partisans against the Germans, and Yugoslavia,

196
00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:47.200
<v Speaker 3>for example, just a horrible, horrible years long blood of

197
00:09:47.240 --> 00:09:50.840
<v Speaker 3>time Ukraine actually during during the occupation portion of World

198
00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:53.480
<v Speaker 3>War Two. It was always that way, was always bad,

199
00:09:53.639 --> 00:09:56.159
<v Speaker 3>and the population has no other alternative, right, It's not

200
00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:59.039
<v Speaker 3>like you can pacify them. That's all they have. So

201
00:09:59.759 --> 00:10:02.120
<v Speaker 3>you're they're signing yourself up for that kind of an

202
00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:06.039
<v Speaker 3>existence again with no discernible in state. That's positive for

203
00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:06.799
<v Speaker 3>the Israel side.

204
00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:09.279
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand it. Daniel Davis Steep dive. You can
