Horrific Russian Ballistic Missile Strikes on Kyiv
🎦 00:08-00:36⏩
Jonathan is providing a separate, short update on the horrific strikes on Kyiv this morning.
- People are still trapped under rubble, and there is a mounting death toll.
- He notes that video of the ballistic missile strikes looks horrific, with clear footage of a missile coming down directly into the middle of the city.
Jonathan Anticipates Trump's Reaction & Contrasts with Zelensky on Ceasefire
🎦 00:37-01:05⏩
Jonathan discusses Donald Trump's reaction to the strikes, noting that the reaction "pretty much says it all."
- He initially thought there might be no reaction, but Trump did react, possibly under pressure from people highlighting that he seems to be allowing Russia to act with impunity.
- Jonathan contrasts this with Ukraine's stance, stating that Zelensky has been forthcoming in his desire for a ceasefire.
Zelensky Questions Lack of US Pressure on Russia (via MAKS24)
🎦 01:05-01:20⏩
Jonathan references a report from MAKS24, which states that Zelensky apparently said:
- The US had promised "strong consequences, including sanctions" if either side rejected a full ceasefire.
- Zelensky reportedly sees "no serious pressure on Russia now."
- Jonathan agrees this lack of pressure is a problem, especially after the horrific attacks.
Analysis of Trump's Underwhelming Statement on Kyiv Strikes
🎦 01:20-02:23⏩
Jonathan calls Trump's statement on the Kyiv strikes "really, seriously underwhelming."
- The statement reads: "I am not happy with the Russian strikes on Kyiv Not necessary and very bad timing Vladimir stop Five thousand soldiers a week are dying Let get the peace deal done".
- Jonathan points out the lack of ramifications or consequences for Russia's actions in the statement (e.g., no mention of sanctions).
- He describes the tone as a "very soft, chiding note," noting Trump calls Putin "Vladimir" by his first name, while referring to Zelensky as "Zelensky."
- The statement characterises the horrific strikes merely as "not necessary" and "very bad timing."
Trump Omits Civilian Deaths, Focuses Only on Soldiers
🎦 02:25-02:34⏩
Jonathan highlights a crucial point from Trump's statement:
- Trump mentions "5,000 soldiers a week are dying" but makes no mention of the civilians being killed by the Russians.
- Jonathan suggests this is because the death of civilians is an "inconvenient truth" that Trump would rather not talk about.
Conclusion: Trump's Inept Response and Perceived Alignment
🎦 02:35-03:18⏩
Agreeing with Brian Krasenstein, Jonathan concludes that Trump's response to the Kyiv strikes is "wholly inept."
- He believes Trump needs to do better but won't.
- Jonathan asserts that Trump will not hold the Russians accountable at all, stating that he is "just fully aligned with the Russians, with his mate Vladimir."
