Maddie HaleHOST
By late spring, one theater reportedly had fewer than 100 Patriot interceptors remaining.
Maddie HaleHOST
By April, the war had exceeded the Pentagon's initial rough, roughly, you know, six-week planning window, um, and that Trump had told- Vance told Wi- uh, Witkoff and Kushner to start pursuing diplomacy, and then throughout the spring and summer, Vance specifically questioned whether they were draining weapons for Iran and whether that it was weakening s- deterrence potentially from China, r- from Russia, from North Korea.
Maddie HaleHOST
So all in all, JD Vance was effectively hearing from the horse's mouth that the war was straining US stockpiles and Iran was proving to be more resilient than expected while the American public was being told a very different story.
Maddie HaleHOST
Do you find that concerning, this disconnect between what the public is being told and then what perhaps JD Vance is, you know, trying to find out?
Alexander MercourisHOST
So I suppose Putin says to himself, "Well, this is the price I have to pay for getting all those deals and keeping all that diplomatic contact.
Alexander MercourisHOST
I have to listen to Modi talking to me in that way, and I have to meet with Witkoff and Kushner quite probably." He...
Alexander MercourisHOST
You're right, Nikos.
Alexander MercourisHOST
He would prefer to be doing other things, but ultimately it's his job.
Alexander MercourisHOST
He wants to have those deals done with India.
Alexander MercourisHOST
He's going to make further deals with China very soon, apparently.
Alexander MercourisHOST
So, you know, he probably thinks three hours with Witkoff and Kushner is not such a big price.
Alexander MercourisHOST
[laughs]
Jacques BaudGUEST
And you have the Europeans acknowledge the role of the Americans in solving the issue.
Jacques BaudGUEST
Whether they want to address the problem in a positive way because the Europeans, and probably we don't know exactly what Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner told to both Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky, but apparently they were coming with old recipes and old solutions.
Jacques BaudGUEST
And this is probably not the way to go.
Jacques BaudGUEST
The Russians have stated very clearly what they want.
Pascal LottazHOST
I mean, we've had the CIA Director Ratcliffe in Moscow.
Pascal LottazHOST
We now had Kushner and Witkoff, again in Moscow, talking about somehow getting to a ceasefire.
Pascal LottazHOST
And then recently we had the India and Kazakhstan.
Pascal LottazHOST
And who was the third one who told Vladimir Putin officially that it's important to somehow move toward peace? How did you interpret that? And how did you interpret Vladimir Putin's unofficial Russian response to all of these approaches?
Danny BessnerHOST
Let's talk about Russia, Ukraine, where U.S. envoys have visited.
Derek DavisonHOST
Yeah, friends of the show, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, popped in over the weekend.
Derek DavisonHOST
They visited Russia first and then went to Ukraine.
Derek DavisonHOST
I believe it was their first visit to Ukraine, or at least to Kiev, to just sort of touch base.
Adam ReichertHOST
The fact that, you know, the peace process kind of got a bit of a jumpstart, let's say Donald Trump's peace process.
Adam ReichertHOST
Got a jumpstart over the weekend with Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, these two guys with zero training in diplomacy who went to Moscow to meet with Putin, gave him, I don't know, as many compliments as you can possibly give, or criminal.
Adam ReichertHOST
And then headed to Kiev, where they met also with President Zelensky and a few European security advisors as well, as far as I understand.
Adam ReichertHOST
And they even had a press conference afterwards.
7 MINS LATER
Alexandra KarppiHOST
And that has taken a turn, I should mention, while I'm jumping right into it.
Adam ReichertHOST
Yeah, let's head over to Albania.
Adam ReichertHOST
What's happening there? That's also related to Jared Kushner, who we mentioned earlier on the podcast in a different context.
Adam ReichertHOST
Exactly.
Bill KnightHOST
Yes, sir.
Jim HarringtonHOST
Kushner.
Jim HarringtonHOST
Yeah.
Jim HarringtonHOST
Jared Kushner.
Jim HarringtonHOST
They went to Russia, had a long conversation.
Jim HarringtonHOST
I wouldn't be surprised if they talked about that.
Joel TilsonPANELIST
That's the only way it's going to happen.
Whimsy AndersonHOST
I feel like when Kushner went to Russia to meet with Putin, it was...
Whimsy AndersonHOST
That
Joel TilsonPANELIST
was a joke.
Whimsy AndersonHOST
that.
Joel TilsonPANELIST
And he's going to keep throwing more and more people into the fire until he's stopped.
Whimsy AndersonHOST
Look, to some extent, I think that what Kushner did was a good thing.
Joel TilsonPANELIST
Yeah, it was good.
Jeffrey SachsGUEST
The result today is, of course, the American security establishment continues to provide military support to Ukraine, especially intelligence for weapons targeting.
Jeffrey SachsGUEST
And John Radcliffe, the CIA director, is the one carrying messages to Ukraine to Russia, and according to news stories of the last couple of days, is the one angling to be the front face also to negotiations with Russia because the stories claim, and I can't vouch for any of them, of course, that Ratcliffe thinks that Witkoff and Kushner are soft and weak and we need serious negotiations and so forth.
Jeffrey SachsGUEST
So, We have a deep state.
Tom SwitzerHOST
To be fair, though, isn't Ratcliffe, according to at least Jonathan Swan and Maggie Habelstam and the New York Times reporters in their much quoted book, Regime Change, they say that Ratcliffe actually had serious reservations about the strikes that Trump and Netanyahu authorized on February 28th.
James Noel-BeswickHOST
regard as well.
James Noel-BeswickHOST
Ukraine was refinery strikes for four days while Wyckoff and Kushner, etc.
James Noel-BeswickHOST
were in Moscow, then hit Ryazan on Sunday.
James Noel-BeswickHOST
I think I saw that get hit again in the last few days.
