Whatever They Want! Trump's Surprisingly Huge Aid to Ukraine | Daily Livestream Highlights

Let's get back to today's big twist with Trump. Today, Trump met with NATO Secretary General Rutte at the White House, right? The two of them, right in front of the media, publicly confirmed that the US will sell advanced weapons worth tens of billions of dollars to NATO allies. And these weapons will be quickly delivered to Ukraine . And all the costs will be covered by the NATO allies. At the same time, he issued an ultimatum to Russian President Putin, saying that he must reach a peace and ceasefire agreement within fifty days. Otherwise, the US will impose 100 % punitive tariffs on Russia and its trading partners, and he emphasized that this does not require Senate approval. So the key points here, the main takeaways, are really two things, right? One is that 100 % punitive tariffs will be imposed on Russia's trading partners. But what does this key point really mean? To put it plainly, it's aimed at the Chinese Communist Party and India, right? These are the two main countries buying Russian energy so the secondary tariffs are being targeted at them, because the CCP buys nearly 50 % of Russia's energy. India buys about 40 %, so together the two account for 90 %. Just think about it, this is no small matter, right? The real question is whether they can actually follow through—whether they will really impose an additional 100 % tariff on these two countries. It's still hard to say what will happen, but at the very least, we can see that Trump has now issued this threat, while also giving a fifty-day grace period, which means it will expire on September 2nd. That's the first key point. The second is that, through NATO, they are transferring and supplying Ukraine with a large number of advanced weapons. This move can truly be described as unprecedented, earth-shattering, or even radical—none of these words would be an exaggeration. Why do I say this? Because the scale of aid this time is so massive that it has surpassed everyone's expectations. Just yesterday, the American news website X Shells cited two insiders in an exclusive report, saying that President Trump ’ s new plan to provide weapons to Ukraine has undergone a very significant change. That is, he is about to provide long-range offensive weapons. And think about it—just a few days ago, Trump was still saying that he would only provide Ukraine with some defensive weapons. What was the purpose of that? To avoid the escalation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict right? Then the report says that, according to sources, there is reason to believe that this plan might include a type of long-range missile capable of striking deep into Russian territory, including targets in Moscow. That would obviously be offensive in nature. Although neither Trump nor the American media have specified exactly what this offensive weapon refers to, the UK's Daily Telegraph—yes, that Telegraph—came out with an exclusive report today. They said that Trump might consider selling a very advanced weapon called the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile, abbreviated in English as JASSM. So what about this missile? It's actually an air-launched cruise missile, equipped with a 450-kilogram penetrating warhead. Its extended-range version—how far can it go? Its range can reach about 925 kilometers. With this range, Moscow is already included—all high-value targets within this area can be struck. Moreover, this missile has quite strong stealth capabilities. Its radar cross-section is very low, so for Russia's air defense systems, intercepting it is actually quite difficult. Another major advantage of this missile is that it can be carried and launched directly by the F-16 fighter jets that Ukraine already possesses. It can also, like the British Storm Shadow missile, be integrated onto Ukraine's own Su-24 fighter jets for launch with only minor modifications. So this is for offensive purposes. As I mentioned earlier, besides offense, of course there ’ s also defense. What about defensive systems? Many of you might still remember, right? Just a few days ago, on July 9th, Trump told reporters that he would consider Ukraine ’ s request for another set of Patriot air defense missile systems. He also emphasized that a full set of Patriot systems is extremely, extremely expensive. So what happened? Today, we saw a statement circulating widely in Chinese circles, right? It ’ s being spread everywhere, saying that Trump and Rutte jointly announced that the US would provide 17 sets of Patriot missile systems to be deployed in Ukraine all at once. And most of these will be used directly on the battlefield, with the fastest ones possibly being delivered to Ukraine within just a few days. Actually, what it means is that NATO countries might prioritize sending their own Patriot systems to Ukraine first, and then they ’ ll purchase new ones from the US to replenish their own stockpiles. Of course, this claim is pretty shocking, right? We could even call it startling. Just think about it—what does it really mean to have 17 Patriot missile systems? If you look it up, you ’ ll find that, according to publicly available information, up to now— the total number of Patriot missile systems owned by all NATO countries combined is only about thirty sets. So if this rumor is true, it means that more than half of all these systems would be sent to Ukraine in one Zelensky originally only hoped to get one set, and even Trump was being stingy at the time, saying,'OK, I 'll think about it. But now, unexpectedly, they're talking about sending 17 sets at once. Of course, this claim is controversial. For example, when I checked sources like The Wall Street Journal, they reported that Trump only mentioned he would provide Ukraine with a lot of Patriot systems, but he did n't specify an exact number. So right now, we still ca n't be 100 % sure that these 17 sets are real, right? It's not confirmed as a fact yet. But regardless, as long as Ukraine gets this new batch of Patriot missile systems, it basically signals the end of all Russian air superiority. Because whether it's Russian fighter jets or their cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, or even those so-called hypersonic missiles, basically all of them can be intercepted by the Patriot missile system. That means Russia basically has no way to pose a threat to Ukraine anymore. Not only that, the US is also going to provide Ukraine with a large number of short-range tactical missiles, and medium-range air-to-air missiles, which are used for aerial combat, right? Plus a huge batch of 155mm NATO-standard artillery shells. They have all of these, and you can also see that Germany, as the locomotive of the EU, has performed quite impressively this time. Because Germany's defense minister came out and announced that they are immediately starting the process of transferring about two to three Patriot systems. At the same time, Germany said they are committed to covering all future costs for Ukraine to manufacture long-range drones. To put it plainly, Germany is footing the bill while Ukraine goes ahead and produces these long-range drones Moreover, Germany has, for the first time, publicly issued a warning, saying that if Russia attacks NATO, German soldiers are already prepared to take the lives of Russian troops. This is basically like announcing that as long as Russian troops dare to attack NATO, then Russia—well, Germany will be among the first to join the war. They've suddenly taken a much tougher stance. Of course, this is because Trump has also become tougher, right? So the whole situation has suddenly undergone a dramatic reversal. According to this report, the plan was originally proposed by Ukrainian President Zelensky two weeks ago at the NATO summit. According to information disclosed by U.S. officials to the media, Trump and Zelensky had a meeting at this NATO summit. It was, so far, the most positive and pleasant meeting with Zelensky's demeanor—both his attire at the time and his conversation—being very impressive. His overall performance was excellent. To quote the official directly, they said Zelensky 'acted like a normal person, not crazy at all. Of course, I think this way of putting it is actually rather humorous, but the point is clear. Both sides had a rather pleasant conversation with Trump, but in fact, the real trigger that led to a major turnaround in the whole situation was yet to come. It was on July 3rd, when Trump had another phone call with Putin. During this call, Putin made it clear that he would continue to escalate the war in order to achieve all the objectives he has consistently emphasized regarding Ukraine. Putin even provided a specific timetable. He said the following: in the next sixty days, he would once again intensify efforts to seize the administrative borders of Ukrainian regions where Russia holds important footholds. But all of this sounds like diplomatic rhetoric, right ? What does it really mean? In fact, it basically means that Putin is announcing that within the next two months, he is demanding that the Russian military at least capture the entirety of the four eastern Ukrainian regions. And then they might even continue advancing to occupy the whole of Ukraine. This completely infuriated Trump. After the call, Trump said something to Macron—he said that what Putin really wants is to take over all of Ukraine, and he wo n't allow that to happen. And also, it made Trump feel that Putin never really respected his opinions at all. Even though he had tried to reach out to Putin multiple times, hoping he would agree to a ceasefire and so on So you can see now that all these heavyweight military figures—using the words of NATO Secretary General Rutte— This is just the first wave, and there will be more to come. As for the value of the weapons that NATO is purchasing from the United States in this first wave, the latest reports say it's about 10 billion US dollars. For this first wave, if we make a simple comparison, previously the aid given by Biden was basically like squeezing toothpaste, right? Every few days they'd give you a little bit, maybe a few dozen missiles, then after a while a few tanks. But now we can pretty much say for sure that Trump has basically turned on the faucet, and the water is gushing out. In other words, when Trump steps in, it's like one person is worth a hundred, right? That saying fits the current situation quite well. And once Ukraine launches a counteroffensive with the help of this batch of aid, just think about it—the fighting on the Russia-Ukraine battlefield will probably get even fiercer. After all, Putin has said he wants to ramp up the offensive and occupy more territory, and now that Ukraine has received such powerful support, of course the battles will become even more intense. It could even spiral out of control. So as you can see, today in Poland, this screenshot shows— In one go, Poland issued 235,000 notices for military physical examinations. They've started conscription. This large-scale draft is n't just targeting men of military age, but also women, and even people over fifty Clearly, this is in preparation for a major escalation in the coming war. Poland is making preparations in advance, mainly to guard against the possibility that if war does break out everyone will be fighting with abandon and things could get out of control. What if the conflict spills over into Poland? In other words, you can see that everything seems to happen so suddenly. But actually, you could also say that everything is unfolding in a way that's only natural. Because those of you who have been consistently subscribing to and following our channel probably already know this. We've actually talked about this scenario with everyone many times, months ago, right? We foresaw that this would happen, because under the backdrop of Putin being absolutely determined to annex Ukraine, Trump really had no other choice. So, sooner or later, after repeatedly hitting dead ends with others, he would inevitably return to this path—arming Ukraine. In other words, up until today, what we ’ re seeing is that after more than three years of the Russia-Ukraine war, for the first time, there ’ s a faint but real sense that the tide of offense and defense might be turning—a pivotal turning point is arriving. The reason behind this is that the United States, right ? There ’ s been a huge reversal in attitude. Of course, as for Putin, do you really think he would just give in so easily, immediately call up Trump and say,' I want to negotiate'? Of course, that ’ s pretty unlikely, right? Putin is the type who won ’ t shed a tear until he sees the coffin. He has to really get hurt on the battlefield before he ’ ll seriously consider this issue. So, why don ’ t we take a look together and see how this drama unfolds. How exactly will it play out? Alright, next, let ’ s welcome everyone to ask a question. Okay, we have a friend here. Alright, there's question from friend 77. It's not related to this news. He said,'Has Mr. Tang ’ s video been restricted in its reach? The views have dropped a lot compared to before, and the number of subscribers hasn ’ t really increased. It ’ s possible. At least from the data we see on the backend, the restriction is pretty obvious. This is probably closely related to the topics we ’ ve been discussing these past couple of days. One of the main topics, in particular, is the lead poisoning incident in Tianshui, Gansu. I ’ ve noticed that whenever we talk about this topic, the traffic drops noticeably—not just a little, but by a lot. Of course, on the other hand, we all know that on YouTube, the CCP actually has a very deep level of infiltration. The CCP still has a lot of influence. So, you ’ ll notice that whenever there ’ s an incident that has a huge impact on the CCP—what they call major events of public opinion—like the chained woman case before, or now the Xue Qian incident, and so on , these are all extremely sensitive topics for them, so they go to great lengths to suppress any discussion about them. the flow of traffic around these topics. Of course, we also see that there are many accounts run by the CCP ’ s external propaganda apparatus. They start desperately taking the CCP ’ s side, right? They say things like,'Oh, this was just a case of mixing pigments, it has nothing to do with the government at all. It was just a few kindergarten staff members messing around in the kitchen, and that ’ s what caused the poisoning,' and so on. That ’ s basically fully cooperating with the CCP ’ s narrative. Just think about it—even if that were the case. Uh, we ... Previously, we shared some information with everyone, like how Gansu Province set up an upgrade, right? They established a provincial-level investigation team . But actually, that ’ s not the same as the conclusion given earlier by the city-level investigation team. As you can see, people obviously just do n't buy it, right? The public simply ca n't accept it, so it has no credibility at all. That's why they have to raise it to a higher level now set up a provincial-level investigation team, and conduct this so-called investigation again, and then finally make a definitive conclusion. But the result has n't come out yet, so let's just wait and see. Like I said before, personally, I'm not very optimistic about this kind of conclusion. However, when it comes to Tianshui, cases like elevated blood lead levels, or lead poisoning, are n't something new. I actually shared this with everyone in the last episode, right? At least 15 years ago, local scholars there had already written papers about this. They specifically focused on minors, highlighting that their blood lead levels were especially high. They even conducted sampling and published their findings in local professional journals. So you can imagine, this issue of lead poisoning or elevated blood lead levels has been around for quite some time. Pollution, right? Pollution of the soil, and also of the groundwater. Locally, this has long ceased to be news—people have known about it for a long time. Incidents of large-scale poisoning like this had already occurred more than ten or twenty years ago, right? Maybe it was only after being exposed that the whole country found out. Just think about it. As for those smaller-scale incidents that have n't been known to the outside world, you probably have no idea how many there have been. In fact, it's probably been an open secret in the local area for a long time—everyone knows about it. So this time, it's just that there was another concentrated outbreak, right? That's why it suddenly caught so much attention, especially because the victims this time are minors. It's because of this, and then with the help of social media, that it quickly spread. It quickly went viral—just think about it, right? Twenty years ago, or ten or fifteen years ago, back then ... Social media was n't nearly as developed as it is now, so when things like this happened locally, they just did n't get much attention. But now, with the help of advanced social media, things blow up all over the internet in no time. They go viral and become a huge topic. So, like this friend mentioned, why did we notice this ? That's exactly the reason. Our most recent episode has had its reach pretty heavily restricted—at least, that's my personal guess and judgment, you know? I think it might be because the topic is just too sensitive. And honestly, that's exactly why we've been urging everyone—friends, please, make sure to subscribe and support us. Right now, if you think about it ... Well, being able to stand up and speak a bit of truth—not just in mainland China, where you might have to pay a huge price for it , Everyone can see that even though we're now in the United States, in an environment where, relatively speaking, we can enjoy a certain degree of freedom of speech, we still have to pay a price. Like I mentioned to you all before, my previous old channel—maybe because of some sensitive topics, maybe because I hit a nerve for some people—my channel's monetization was directly shut down. That's why I had no choice but to start this new channel from scratch. And that's also why I keep urging everyone to subscribe, to like, and to support us. Because, you know, maintaining freedom of speech and making sure everyone has a channel to learn the truth—keeping such a channel going and not letting it be silently shut down or disappear—actually comes at a cost. This is the reality we're facing right now, is n't it ? The CCP's reach—well, it's already extended into the United States. Its influence has stretched much farther than most of us could ever imagine. So it's exactly because of this that we keep sharing and communicating with everyone. Sigh, it's just to remind everyone to really see the true nature of the CCP—what kind of government it actually is, what kind of regime it really is, right? Even when it comes to a lot of so-called'50-cent army or'little pinks,' I still consider you all friends, no matter if you're part of the 50-cent army or a little pink. I'm still willing to call you friends, and that's exactly why. It's in your own best interest to see clearly what the CCP really is. Alright, thank you all so much for your support and concern. That's the end of today's livestream, and we'll see you next time.
