Regarding: Tucker’s interview with Jeffrey Sachs:

OK I have listened to the entire podcast of Tucker and Jeffrey Sachs. I’ve listened to him a lot, and he’s more than brilliant, he’s influential, his knowledgeable and a friend or advisor ofj world leaders. As an example he was there with Gorbachev in his office when he made the decision to dissolve the Soviet Union. His history will be at least 5 massive books of his work, which is seriously and respectfully profound. He’s an economist, and also with the understanding of how countries survive by diplomacy and economy.

This is not a professional recitation of how many countries around the world he helped save with his economic approach to peace really.

==All that being said after listening to the whole interview, I’m convinced Sachs was doing an being interviewed to be hired by Trump, from this show, there’s many reasons why I think that, but here is a few signs:

• previously Sachs and Tucker discussed Trump regarding Ukraine in depth. Sachs was not at all complementary of Trump although he wasn’t re-elected at that time

• Today expanded discussions of Russia , Ukraine, world events, Israel, Netanyahu, Iran and DS always this maters Trump is dealing with.

• Sachs has the history of knowing and working with leaders and countries around the world, and still good friends with many of them.

• It was absolutely fascinating for many reasons but Jeffrey, uncharacteristically complimented Trump multiple times on how he’s dealing with Ukraine and Russia Israel, Iran, the influence of the DS, but also many other matters, and Jeffrey surprisingly aside from being complimentary of Trump, ==tgen he would give advice to Trump in ways to tweak his approach for a better result.

• This sounds strange but Sachs was really insulting and brutal on Trump the last interview, when out of the WH, but this one was quite amazing. ==And it was almost like he was personally advising Trump in real time=.

My conclusion is that Jeffrey Sachs was doing a live interview to be hired by President Trump. It will either a public announcement of an appointee, or a professional request for Trump to get Sachs perspective, and discuss all the matters going on now, because Sachs has the history of country’s and leaders going back 45-50.

If Sachs did not that critical and insulting interview on Trump last year, I wouldn’t have noticed it. We’ll see if this is right, but it was a great interview, and he is entertaining!

Over 80k aerial targets shot down during conflict with Ukraine – Putin

The figure includes some 7,500 ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as other sophisticated munitions, according to the Russian president

=Russian forces have shot down more than 80,000 aerial targets during the conflict with Ukraine, President Vladimir Putin has revealed==, adding that the country is seeking to create a universal anti-aircraft system capable of intercepting any incoming projectile.

Putin made the remarks on Thursday while meeting with senior civilian and military officials to discuss Russia’s armament plans for the period between 2027 and 2036.

The conflict with Ukraine has been marked by the rapid development of aerial weaponry, the evolution of its role and the tactics of its use, Putin noted.

“The new state armament program should ensure the creation of a universal air defense system that is capable of operating in any conditions and effectively destroying aerial strike weaponsregardless of their type,” the president stated.

The 80,000 figure includes some7,500 sophisticated munitions, such as tactical ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and projectiles fired by multiple rocket launchers, Putin noted, adding that nearly allsuch weapons destroyed had been supplied to Kiev by the West.

However, drones constitute the vast majority of aerial targets intercepted during the conflict. According to the latest figures by the Russian Defense Ministry, more than 63,000 Ukrainian UAVs of all types have been destroyed amid the hostilities.

“The fight against various types of unmanned aerial vehicles required new approaches and non-standard solutions. This field remains particularly relevant,” the president stressed.

Russia and Ukraine exchange more POWs

A third group of soldiers has returned from Ukrainian captivity under a major prisoner exchange, the Russian Defense Ministry has said

Moscow and Kiev exchanged a third group of POWs on Thursday under a major prisoner swap agreed to in Istanbul earlier this month, the Russian Defense Ministry has said.

The freed soldiers are currently in Belarus and will be transferred to Russia for treatment and rehabilitation, the ministry said in a statement. A group of Ukrainian POWs has also been handed over to Kiev, the military added,without specifying the number of exchanged soldiers.

The Defense Ministry released a video showing the freed servicemen phoning their relatives and waving Russian flags before boarding a bus at an undisclosed location.

Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky confirmed the swap, describing it as the “second stage” of an exchange of “seriously wounded and gravely ill soldiers.” He did not provide details on the number of soldiers swapped.

Moscow and Kiev agreed to exchange certain categories of POWs, including those who are seriously injured, ill and those under the age of 25, during the second round of direct negotiations held in Istanbul on June 2.

The Russian Defense Ministry said Kiev has been behind schedule with the exchange and was unable to perform the swaps “daily” as agreed in Istanbul.“Unfortunately, the Ukrainian side is not ready to conduct exchanges in that swift mode,” the military said in a statement.

The first swap under the deal was held on Monday, involving prisoners under the age of 25, according to the Russian military. Another exchange took place on Tuesday. While the Russian ministry did not comment on the categories of POWs included in this exchange,Kiev said it involved those “seriously wounded and ill.”

(Zelensky got blowback by not accepting them by Ukrainian, so he was forced to do it.)

Ukraine complains about global Russia Day congratulations

Kiev’s top diplomat argued that Moscow should not be “rewarded” on the world stage

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrey Sibiga has criticized countries that sent congratulatory messages to Russia on its national holiday. He voiced his displeasure after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio extended greetings to Moscow on Russia Day, a public holiday celebrated on June 12.

“As a minister of a country at war, I found it especially unpleasant to read this morning that some countries were publicly congratulating Russia on its national holiday,” Sibiga said at the Weimar+ summit in Rome on Thursday. (KEK, Boo Hoo)

“There can be no reward for an aggressor state. I have a moral right to say this,” he added.

In a statement published on the State Department’s website, Rubio said the US “remains committed to supporting the Russian people as they continue to build on their aspirations for a brighter future.”

He reaffirmed that Washington is seeking “constructive engagement with the Russian Federation to bring about a durable peace between Russia and Ukraine.”

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov described the message as “positive news,” noting a shift from the more hostile policies of former President Joe Biden.

The US suspended nearly all contact with Russia in 2022 following the outbreak of the Ukraine conflict and imposed sweeping sanctions on Moscow.Under President Donald Trump, however, the two sides resumed direct negotiations and agreed to gradually normalize relations.

Countries including India, Oman, and Kazakhstan also issued congratulatory statements on Russia Day. “Our special and privileged strategic partnership continues to serve the interests of our peoples,” Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar said in a message to his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov.

(This is the day that Ukraine realizes the U.S. has left their farce, and war. Telling world leaders how they should behave towards Russia, has been cancelled. They have lied with their Propaganda and they failed. They better watch out what the tell the U.S. and others on how they should behave towards Russia, because it is a highly ill advised strategy.They know this but they are crying like a child.I actually think SOS Rubio did this on purpose, very subtle ehh?)
