and i was always horrified, you know, i was in one place in the netherlands, on the border with germany, where tens of thousands of german tourists come every day, a not very famous city, i don't even remember the name now, but this city has always been known as the center of the textile industry. of the netherlands, it's like, if you like, the lot of the netherlands, but realistically speaking, and there's not a single textile factory left in this wonderful place, not a single one, they're all located somewhere, in this, in china, and that's it, it's enschede, i even remembered this city, enschede, this is mr. vitaly's problem, not only enschede.

this is the problem of hundreds, if not thousands of european mi, just for me skhede was very revealing, because they built it there and are very proud of it, a fabulous city, ugh, the most modern, repurposed factories, it's all shopping centers, swimming pools, entertainment centers, the germans there they drive, shopping, entertainment, great atmosphere, but there is no production, well, the same story, by the way, when...... well-known european brands, production ones were bought by the chinese, yes, that is, we will not name, but there are huge auto giants, car manufacturers that were bought by companies from china, there are telecommunications companies that were bought by companies from china, they are now operating in the territory of the european union. and not only,

including in china, and this is essentially the same chinese expansion, that is, it not only continues through the transfer of production from the european union to china, but it also continues through the targeted purchase of enterprises, successful, famous, branded by european companies, purchase. their chinese, of course, not without blessing of the chinese communist party, but they buy, they invest and, and here i absolutely agree that europe can also suffer from such sanctions, that's why they don't impose them, you, here we come to the fact that we have an answer to the question of why they even try to avoid them.

discussion of such, even avoiding hints to the people's republic of china, why we will not impose such sanctions, because they understand that it will first of all hit them, their citizens, their companies, their gdp, in the end, that's the answer to the question, because europe, conditional and china, are connected in many ways. spheres of the economy, connected with financial, financial things, and this will hit the citizens, and if it hits the citizens, it will also hit the ratings of those political forces that are in power today in one or another european state, this is immediately negative, if no no no tens, then... percentages, percentages,

percentages and once more percentages. i absolutely agree, that's why i say that in this regard we are in a vicious circle, so when they say how to stop russia, here's how, how to stop russia if we are afraid to push china. i say, that's why i believe that this story is related to the declaration of the nato summit - this is already an important thing, because they are so strict. never commented on china and never gave such signals that you actually support russia's aggressive war, that we will reckon with it, that we have to fight it. what is china doing by the way? china begins immediately the next almost a day to announce that it will conduct military exercises with the russian federation, at the entrance to the south china sea, a strategically important thing, and they are going there to... conduct these

exercises, that's all, and they are absolutely sure that this is their signal, you see, they demonstratively do not respond to these signals, these harsh assessments of the chinese role in the war, they largely ... began with the visit to beijing of the united states secretary of state anthony blinken, who clearly told the chinese that if the leadership of the people's republic of china did not take measures against those of its companies that continue to cooperate with moscow, that's it america itself can do. and sidzenpin did not react to it, in fact. now , they also reacted to nato's declaration by saying that it is a lie that china deliberately accuses. a special statement was made by the minister of foreign affairs of china in anga, and the next day they announced that we will have military exercises with russia, that is, they continue to play their game, the essence of which is that no one will tell us who we should deal with. if you want to somehow get rid of this war,

negotiate with russia, and we will help. father their logic. and by the way, one more signal, i think there is a very important address. this is how the participants of this jubilee summit were chosen, because in addition to the president of ukraine, it was quite natural to invite the president of ukraine there. the heads of south korea, australia, new zealand, and japan were there. and by and large, this means that nato's attention, we say that donald trump is going to switch attention to the asian tegean region, but it has already been switched by and large. as you understand, if vladimir putin did not start the war with ukraine, ukraine would definitely not be among nato's priorities. maybe we would take ukraine into nato, but just like we took poland or the czech republic, relatively speaking. without any thought that it is connected with a strategic danger. as for the asia-pacific region, this is the number one issue for

the north atlantic alliance, if they invite to their jubilee summit precisely those leaders, countries that are in direct, i would say, such a collision with china. to the people's republic, and for china, this is also an unpleasant signal, especially since you know that the ministry of foreign affairs of japan, i think, these days in their annual white paper, they assessed china as the main danger for japan, they also said it absolutely clearly that it is china and its actions in the asia-pacific region that will threaten the national security of japan, because these actions are very ambitious, they are very...tough, and the chinese are doing everything they can to show that they are ready to increase it all, i would say, and do everything possible so that everyone can see the level of their ambition, this is the asian ocean region, and central asia, you and i did not mention the summit

of the shanghai cooperation organization, but dengping is also the main character there, all the heads of the states of central asia are oriented towards him, but everyone asks, what happens as a result of the... summits, after all, the shanghai the organization of female collaborators is an absolutely pointless organization, pointless, of course, but, recently , information appeared about a large chinese military base in tajikistan, it is, relatively speaking, a formal anti-terrorist base, which was agreed to be left to shomb, but we we understand what an anti-roterist base is, in any case, it is a contingent of the chinese military on tajik territory. where the russian military used to be , of course, the shanghai cooperation organization cannot make any such proposals there, because moscow will block them, but it is a gateway for china to control central asia more and more up to the russian borders, therefore that kazakhstan, tajikistan,

uzbekistan, and kyrgyzstan are interested in contact with china, on the other hand asia-texas region, china conducts exercises not only with russia, it conducts military exercises with vietnam at the same time. also a good signal for the united states, which agreed with vietnam on a strategic partnership, and at the same time vietnam is conducting training with the people's republic of china, well, there is a certain problem, right? by the way, let's return to the united states of america, for the third week in a row we are discussing this fever, this fever. discussing the consequences of the debate, and now most likely the consequences final speeches within the framework of the nato summit. we 're talking about biden, and we're talking about, unfortunately, this fever, it's

continuing, we're seeing more and more democrats of all stripes saying that biden should drop out of the presidential race. here, for example, some financial, financial sacks, financial leaders, so to speak, democrats. announced that they were freezing 90%, $90 million , of biden's campaign funding until he withdrew from the race, and the actor joined in george clooney, who also called on biden to withdraw and he did not run, gave, gave a pass, so to speak, to someone else, and some representatives are also added here. from the democratic party, well, as you can see, it's

all bubbling, bubbling, bubbling, and every day, i only see five, six news in a day, those that penetrate our information space, that relate to biden , the third week we, as they say, measure the temperature in our studio in the american room, and three weeks ago you, mr. vitaly, have been saying that... you don't see the possibility of biden dropping out of the race in three weeks, has that changed your mind? i will quote you the text that appeared in the new york times just a few minutes ago, uh, it is called joe biden for president. ugh. its author writes: "i will do everything i can to ensure that president biden is re-elected." why? despite my disagreements with him on specific issues, he has been the most effective president in our country's modern history and is... a stronger candidate to win over donald trump, a demagogue and a pathological liar. it's time to learn a lesson

from progressive and centrist forces in france who, despite deep political divisions, came together this week to defeat right-wing extremism together. for more than two weeks now, the corporate media has obsessively focused on the june presidential debates and the cognitive capabilities of the man who has perhaps the most difficult and stressful job. in the world. the media frantically searched for every person alive who no longer supported the president, but for any neurologist, who wants to appear on television. unfortunately, many democrats have joined this round robin. yes, i know, mr. biden is old, prone to mistakes, can't walk, and had a disastrous debate with mr. trump. but i also know, the presidential election is not an entertainment contest, it does not begin and end with a 90-minute debate, enough, mr. biden may not be perfect. a candidate, but he will be a candidate and must remain with them. hey, you know who auto, you know

who the author of this text is, senator bernie sanders, the leader of the left, this is one of the leading ones, but this is the leader of the left circle in the democratic party of people who did not support joseph biden, as a rule, it means that these people were scared and as you understand, such a text, it means that... processes are taking place in the democratic party that even we do not fully understand, because if bernie sanders, at a moment when it seems possible to replace joseph biden with a more left-wing candidate, uh, expresses his support for him, then this means that, in principle, in principle joseph biden, who has huge chances not only leave candidates, but also to win the elections. and who is shaking the situation in

the democratic party then? it has passed, on last saturday we determined that it was at that time, it was still the left wing. ugh. and at this moment, who, who is so wavering, who so much does not understand that for their political power, such a wavering can end in failure not only for biden, but also for the democrats in general, because there are also... elections, elections in in november, there will be not only the president, there will also be elections for the congress of the united states of america, and if the democrats will demonstrate this kind of disunity, then they can, then they can lose the presidential election and the congressional elections again, who is shaking all this? well , so there are people who might think that replacing biden today is more, i would say, the right decision in terms of winning congress, because i don't think you can win a presidential election in that situation by replacing candidate, rather than those who,

in principle, speak from the position of the need to preserve a candidate who has already passed the preliminaries, i will, in principle, honestly tell you that the fact that i read you quotes from bernie sanders, this is a more logical text, uh, well , this is a politically logical text, bernie sanders is important, it is difficult to call him a good person, relatively speaking , he was always... a person who went against everything political trends, a very left-radically inclined person, and he also says in this that he does not agree with biden on middle eastern issues, it's all there. but he is absolutely right, if you want to stop trump, you have to stop trump, that you have to stop trump, or enjoy yourself biden's youth? huh, and i think it makes perfect sense, if you're a democrat, your job is to prevent trump from getting a second term, you should stop fooling around and build

a campaign that doesn't leave donald trump, a pathological demagogue as defined by bernie sanders, no chance to win the elections for the president of the united states, because donald trump is a disaster on two legs, that's all, one leg is a disaster, the other leg is a disaster, and this too must be clearly understood, so i'm absolutely not thrilled about joseph biden's fitness, but i wasn't thrilled four years ago, i don't really understand why everybody woke up and suddenly, oh, listen, this is the hardest job in the world. in general, to be the president of a country is to be in a state of constant stress, we can look at volodymyr zelensky, this is how he survives the war, but he leads a country that is much smaller in terms of challenges, even in times of war, than the united states of america, and look at how volodymyr looks like zelensky, whoever, whatever

it looks like any president can be photographed at the time of election and at the time of graduation. power, it's five years of stress, so, by the way, people who stay in power for many years, they turn into monsters, they lose the real understanding of life in general, even in democratic countries, in democratic countries there is an advantage if there is a prem prime minister for many years, then in principle you at least meet with public opinion, read newspapers, know what people think about you, you have critical thinking, but do you remember angela... in the last period of her trial at the position of chancellor, how she stood and trembled, do you remember? yes, well, she is at a different age than joseph biden, what happened to her, because it is stressful, you lead germany, and all the time you have to fight for power, a huge state, in fact, the locomotive of europe, you have all the responsibility, you wake up with thinking about this responsibility,

i fall asleep thinking, there is still a need to unite all the federal states, and... and to create coalitions in the federal states and so on a complicated process no, well, in the united states of america, why is it the same there, it is a federal state, there, in fact, it is also necessary, sorry, to unite 50 states constantly and be a factor of attraction of all these 50 states, and not of their separation, so i absolutely agree with bernie sanners democratic forces. all people of good will, all sober-minded people of the united states of america must stop donald trump on his way to the white house. of course, if they do not stop, there will be a different story, we will think about how to survive in the world, where trump will be the president of america, not everyone will survive, i will say right away, but those who will survive must take care of it, and we must be among those who will try to survive, although it will not be easy. that is, after all, you estimate

the chances that trump. it’s clear, as you can see, yes, what, that trump, that biden will stay, that’s what i’m talking about, you can’t run for president of the united states, that i, well, even though you don’t stand by zelensky and putin, still ahead, andrei, yes, in fact, still ahead, that biden will still remain as much as possible in election race, his chances are quite high, i see no reason yet to believe that he is ready to go. moreover, the ratings do not show that he has fallen anywhere, the ratings remain where they were before the debate, and i think that the focus of the democrats should not be on replacing the leader, on the history of the need to win in those problem states where a section of the population that is not defined may indeed be

baffled by their post-debate panic, i don't think there should have been any panic at all. so it was possible to critically evaluate the debate, but not to start a conversation about the replacement of the candidate, but to say that the president should rest more, that his advisers should not have arranged these debates, in general, you understand, we have become some kind of fools with the debate, because we do not understand why they started doing it like that early, never in the history of the united states has there been a debate between people, none of whom is endorsed by a candidate for president, the national convention of the democratic republican party. in general, how, who debated donald trump and joseph biden? joseph biden is the president of the united states, and donald trump is the former president of the united states. both politicians can hope. that the delegates to the national conventions of the republicans and democrats would nominate them for the post of president of the united states, but it would be possible to wait for the convention. so, it was important for someone to hold such a debate

before joseph biden was finally confirmed as the candidate for the post of president stra, it seems to me that there was a gross political error here, because just imagine, the convention passed, he was approved, then there were such debate, and what to do, is necessary swim, nothing, nothing, then nothing, well, that's why i have a question. why did they do it, who thought of it, and i think that's a very important point that we have to think about as well, who was interested in bringing this debate to the democratic national convention, so in that sense, of course, it a very important point, especially since again we do not understand one more fact, but let's imagine that joseph biden takes to... the convention refuses to run, then what? they say, oh, you can nominate kamala harris, well it is possible from some formal point of view, because she went through the primaries together with biden

, but not as a candidate for the position of the president of the united states, but as a vice president. many of the leaders of the democratic party may think, no, listen, this is also completely unrealistic, i will be a much better candidate than kamala harris, there will be a fight at the convention of the democratic party itself, it is not known what it will lead to, because in this situation. these partisan desires may become more important than the logic of real political struggle. by the way, let me remind you of another country, great britain, where boris johnson led the conservatives to victory in the parliamentary elections, ugh, and then he completely compromised himself even from the point of view of his own party, they spent many months in a row, elected a candidate for the position of party leader ... the government for a few weeks, after which the economic situation in great britain led to her quick resignation, absolutely unprecedented, this has never happened, and then they

decided without any primaries that they would hand over the reins of the british government, a person who lost the primaries in the conservative party decidedly, perhaps a talented manager, i will not say anything, but obviously from an electoral point of view an unelectable candidate, i am not a big fan. boris johnson, but boris johnson is a charismatic leader, right? well, here's the whole story, as a result, where is the conservative party now? nowhere, at one of the lowest rates ever in the united states of great britain, and that's when you you propose some kind of candidacy that suits you as a party nomenclature, as a delegate to the party congress. as a local party leader in delaware or pennsylvania, it seems absolutely perfect, this guy, he can definitely

win an election because it's part of your party life, and the people who vote, even democrats, can feel completely different about it behave, because the people are not a party organization, and there is a huge problem in this, when you do not go through the people's. because people can c one's likes and dislikes are guided by completely irrational motives, inaccessible to a rational person, a person who is engaged in professional party activities is usually a rational person, this is the essence of a political career, it is a rational idea, and a person who votes in elections, like us we know the ukrainian vote very well, the american vote is very different, but between us, speaking, this is a person who thinks irrationally, as he once said... yeltsin votes with his heart, of course, it would be better if people voted with their heads, but that doesn't happen often, they vote with their heads at party conventions, in polling stations they vote

from the point of view of sympathy, a large number of people don't even have time to understand who it is, what it is, she likes it, democracy biden, whether she will like haris democracy we don't know because we haven't tested it, maybe so, it's a lottery, maybe not. so it's a huge test, i think, this whole story, we'll see how it plays out, yeah, actually, we'll see, the next few weeks will be decisive in the united states of america, because already at the beginning of august the candidates have to be officially registered, and after that any change of candidates is practically out of the question. when you sleep on an uneven surface, the spine
