Patrik Baab & Lt Col Daniel Davis | Ukraine Being Brought to the Butcher | Nov. 10, 2025
Source: Daniel Davis youtube
Description:
Patrik Baab argues that Western governments—especially in Europe—refuse to pursue a negotiated settlement with Russia because their political survival depends on continuing the war. He claims Ukraine is being sacrificed (“brought to the butcher”) to serve Western geopolitical interests, primarily the U.S. goal of weakening Russia.
According to this view:
U.S. “deep state” institutions (Pentagon, CIA, parts of both parties) want the war to continue, and European leaders align with them.
Zelensky and his circle, described as dominated by right-wing nationalists, also depend on the war for their power.
The speaker believes Western elites act against their own populations’ interests, driven by ideology, survival instincts, or influence from defense industries and financial actors profiting from the conflict.
He argues Russia is preparing for a wider war with Europe and that European leaders keep the U.S. engaged because they cannot face Russia alone.
The speaker says rational policy would be to end the war by meeting Russia’s demands: neutrality for Ukraine, no NATO ties, a non-hostile government in Kyiv, and recognition of the territories Russia annexed in 2022.
He criticizes the EU’s repeated sanctions packages as ineffective and self-damaging.
The conversation also discusses “deep state” influence, with examples like Liz Truss arguing that unelected bureaucracies hold real power. The speaker agrees partly but says powerful external interests—military-industrial and financial sectors—push leaders into prolonging the war.
He claims European bureaucracies resist admitting their strategic mistakes about Russia’s strength, and EU institutions have become increasingly authoritarian and war-driven.
Overall, the argument is that Western elites, bureaucrats, and financial/military interests are locked into a self-destructive strategy of escalating the conflict rather than seeking a settlement aligned with reality.

Crooke argues that Western politics are broken and there are no indications that the underlying issues are being addressed. Meanwhile, China and Russia are now bowing to the West's coercion as China is winning the economic war and Russia is defeating NATO in Ukraine.

Description:
Col Doug Macgregor criticizes Western policies toward Russia, Ukraine, and Europe’s handling of the ongoing conflict. The speaker argues that proposals to forcibly mobilize Ukrainian men in Europe or escalate military aid are unrealistic and would lead to war with Russia—something the West is ill-prepared for due to its weak industrial base. Meanwhile, Russia is portrayed as fully mobilized and ready.
The speaker condemns Western military and political elites, including retired generals and media influencers, for spreading propaganda motivated by money and defense industry interests. They draw parallels to Vietnam-era delusions, accusing today’s leaders of arrogance, ignorance, and playing with fire by provoking Russia.
Turning to Europe, the conversation targets European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, accusing her of destroying Germany’s economy, eroding law and order, and betraying Europe’s national interests. Leaders like Hungary’s Viktor Orbán and Slovakia’s Robert Fico are praised for resisting EU sanctions on Russia and prioritizing national interests.
A French MEP’s criticism of von der Leyen is highlighted as evidence of growing rebellion within Europe, depicting the EU as a collapsing institution comparable to the Titanic. The speaker predicts both the EU and NATO are nearing their end, with nationalist and populist leaders rising in countries like France, Italy, Austria, and the Czech Republic.
Finally, the conversation condemns Poland’s ban on Chinese rail transit as economically self-destructive and rejects the U.S. view that trade competition equals military threat. Trump’s trade and energy policies are also criticized as short-sighted, transactional, and damaging to long-term alliances. The overall message: Western arrogance and mismanagement are hastening the decline of the EU, NATO, and U.S. global influence.
