Silicon Curtain
Today I’m speaking with Operator Starsky, a former Ukrainian National Guardian, blogger, and inspiration for everyone who is following the war, and supporting a Ukrainian victory. He has created one of the most popular and original YouTube channels dedicated to the international community. I’m not sure you need an introduction – I’m sure most people watching this channel will have seen your videos!
Good to hear from Starsky again. It makes it all the better to have Jonathan doing the interview. Both are always a pleasure to listen to.
Great discussion as usual.
OS:
“Putin understands only the language of violence.”
“At the same time, Putin will understand when Russia is completely economically isolated, Russia is despised round the world and when he has absolutely no chance of striking other countries without facing responsibility. When he and his minions receive a strong response from the democratic world that will take years to recover from, this is how you deal with the terrorist threat.”
“Putin should understand that spreading bullshit via the ROC will lead to catastrophic circumstances.”
Unfortunately we are far, far away from that situation. Trump’s minions DT Jr, RFK Jr, VanZkov, Lanza, Colby et al, have already set out their “vision” for the future. Putting it in simple trumpist terms, it is :
“Your allowance has run out.” (Trumpkov Jr).
Someone calculated last year that it would take 120 ATACMS-type missiles to cause sufficient damage to the putler bridge to render it unserviceable.
Denny Davidov at the time expressed confidence (now of course shown to be sadly unfounded) that the defenders were waiting for the more powerful Tomahawks to do the job. The US, UK and others have these but won’t make them available.
The US also has “bunker-busters”; the ones that can or will be used to destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities installed inside mountains.
The thermobaric BLU-118 and the non-thermobaric BLU-109 would almost certainly smash the putler bridge to fuck.
