pressure continues, daily pressure on him, regarding the possible withdrawal of his candidacy from the elections, mr. vitaly and i have been discussing this for the fourth week, and as they say, for the fourth week we are taking the temperature of the american electoral chamber, so biden should withdraw from the elections, at least according to his words doesn't want to, i quote, he... says: i'm old, but i'm not going to give up the fight, he said this week, at the same time the washington post reports that democrats are convincing biden that his candidacy is damaging to the party , the candidacy of the current vice president of the united states , kamala harris, is also being actively promoted and discussed, and of course we are watching all this, that is... pressure on biden and

even, by the way, a few days ago there was information that this weekend he may withdraw from the election race. so, mr. vitaly, the fourth week and your assessment of this temperature in the american electoral chamber, what trends do you see now, has biden's situation really worsened? i believe that the situation has worsened not with biden, but with the democrats, ugh, because the fact that they are showing such, i would say, incredible fluctuations, it certainly somewhat reduces their chances. to win the presidential elections and, by the way, the congressional elections, because at a time when the republicans are showing absolute unity around donald trump, the democrats have a complete, there is a complete lack of such unity, the republicans absolutely do not care what

trump confuses there, trump confused hungary with turkish, said that orban is the president of turkey, no one was interested in this at all, not even otti. liberal publications are close to the democratic party, biden's reasons are being discussed as a situation of complete crisis, i'm not talking about the cognitive abilities of biden in his father, there are two people running for the position of president of the united states, whose cognitive abilities raise serious questions in connection with their age, and biden is no different from trump here, and trump is no different from biden, but trump differs from biden only in that he is a republican. they give him everything he does and trump once said that if he goes out into manhattan and kills a man, the republicans will be delighted with his actions, and he is absolutely right, and if biden goes out into manhattan and throws garbage there to the street,

the very next minute the journalists of the new york times, the washington post, the economist, cnn will show a report about it, and they will all demand that biden withdrew his...candidacy, the corpse of a person killed by trump, they won't even see it, well , because it's trump, well, of course, he came out, killed a person, what do we wonder, why do we even have to talk about it, that's the point election campaign in the united states, although why donald trump is still preserved in american political life, because the supporters of donald trump absolutely do not care what will happen to donald trump, what will be the verdicts against him, what he will do, they want donald trump to lead america, that's it, period, don't bother us. tell us something bad about donald trump, you and i know that he is the perfect leader, but democracy is in a different situation, and here the question naturally arises, if joseph biden really refuses to run, who will really be the candidate, kamala harris, well that's

a possibility, but we understand that her popularity is well below that of joseph biden, she is not popular with many democrats, and in this situation. people can simply avoid participating in elections, that is democrats need a popular candidate, not just biden, how are they going to find that candidate, do they have enough time to hold quick primaries now in these conditions, no, democrats can choose whoever they want for their candidates, but they need to be nominated this candidate was joined by independent voters in the swing states. now, according to polls, the difference in votes between biden and trump in these states is 1.2% in favor of trump. but this is a sociological fallacy. we don't know how it is will look as you know, before the 2016 elections

, everyone was sure that hillary clinton would win this trump election, precisely because she won in these states according to sociology, and these states lost according to the elections. and why did these states lose? ago. that donald trump conducted an aggressive election campaign in these states, and hillary clinton is sure that she did not hold these states in her pocket anyway. that's what the democrats need to do, run an aggressive election campaign to stop trump. and they are instead campaigning to stop biden. and this is political myopia, i would say. well, again, you and i have spoken many times and also expressed surprise as to why... the democrats are doing this, because they also understand that this is not only an election for the president, it is also an election for the house of representatives , and in fact this, i would say, discord, this division of positions,

separation of positions in the democratic party, it also affects the possible ones. the results of the elections to the house of representatives, they may again lose the opportunity to receive the majority, so anyway, is it myopia or is it a political struggle? are there forces in the democratic party that would like to take over the reins of political power and promote their candidates, because there is practically no logic in what is happening, from my point of view, but there is some logic in it , i think that you and i have forgotten the time when there is a republican. tic party were parties of lively debate, and in each of these parties

serious intra-party debates took place, and party leaders had a great authority and influence on the attitudes of activists, it has been so for many decades. the republican party that we see today is a completely different party, it is a party that is consolidated around donald trump. we did not know such a republican party, and of course, that is why this unity stunned. that exists in the republican party, it works in this way to its advantage, because almost all the leading figures of the republican party, they support donald trump, if any person expresses their disagreement with one or another of his methods or actions, she just flies out of the republican party and disappears like mike pence, like the cheney forest, like john bolton, the list goes on, people who disagree with the donald. trump has no influence on the republican party, their influence is zero. mike pence

did not do anything so special, he simply implemented the results of the presidential election in the united states in conditions where trump opposed this implementation, he actually ended his political career, although he is a person of extremely conservative views, which correspond to the views of most members of the republican party today, but this man did not obey trump. it is enough to never support it again, it is a brand new republican party, i repeat, there has never been a republican party like this, and the democratic party remains what it always was and what the republican party was before, it is the party of debate, it is the party, in in which joseph biden is a leader, but a person to whom you can give advice, and every one of, let's say, from the democrats who are respected, nancy pelosi or baraka... or anyone else can give advice to joseph biden, but as you understand, donald

pramt doesn't need advice from anyone, the people who meet with him from the republican ranks, they meet with him solely to report to him, they are his they convince only until the moment when they are not threatened by this, and this must be clearly understood, in this situation, as you understand, andriy, the democratic party looks like a party of so... discussions and the lack of joint actions in comparison with the consolidated, strong republican a party, that's what it is the essence of the problems. well, probably the last question that we will talk about in the united states of america, cnn and with reference to its sources, published information that an assassination attempt on trump could be prepared in iran. of course, they're not saying that this particular person who ... shot at trump was recruited by iran or trained by iran, but still, the

information is there, and it's quite, quite interesting from that point of view, that in what way iran has the ability to prepare or carry out assassinations in the united states of america presidential candidates. how much do you trust mr. vitaly? such sources of information, or indeed states that belong to, as we have already said, the axis of evil, or at least iran, yes, can really influence the election campaign in this way or even prepare assassination attempts on candidates, in particular , donald trump. well, i believe that iran is a country with quite strong special services that have quite serious capabilities around the world. i already wanted to remind you that the special services of the islamic republic of iran are the heirs of the special services services of the shah of iran, which had serious

connections with western special services, the officers of these special services studied at the central intelligence agency of the united states, in other such organizations, they have a very good school, and this whole school became the school of special services of the new islamic republic, it must just to also remember, this is the first point, the second point, to say that donald trump is a legitimate target. all these iranian special services from their point of view, because it was he who gave the order to kill general tzulimani, head of the guard corps. of the islamic revolution, who in one way or another was for the iranian clergy a cult figure, the most influential figure in the power structures of the islamic republic, and i am sure that they will hunt trump, that in the end they will try to kill him many more times no ugh, ugh , even if he becomes president, maybe in the future, in the future, there might be

a situation where they will kill him after he, how he becomes president, but they will hunt him down and hunt for other people and... who are involved in the liquidation of general suleimani. i would like to remind you that a long time ago, back in the days of ayatollah khomeini, the first leader of the islamic republic of iran, the ayatollah issued a fatwa that actually sentenced the famous writer salman rushdie to death for one of his novels. and this fatwa caught up with rushdi literally a few years ago, two years ago, or three. that is, several decades have passed. and a person tried to kill him again, although ruzhdi had been in hiding for decades, he had bodyguards from the british secret service, he never spent the night there in any specific places, it was almost impossible to find him, but 3-10 years passed there, it seemed that everything was over, the new head of the islamic republic of iran was clearly not interested in this

fatwa, and yet there was an assassination attempt, yes that i think trump will not get away with it, he needs to provide. security, he needs to think about his own security, because he is a target, he became a target the moment he gave the order to eliminate general suleimani, i think that was a completely logical decision for the american president, because general soleimani was one of the main saboteurs in the middle east, his elimination was a signal to iran that you cannot destabilize the region, but when you are the president and you give such orders, you have to remember that you leave the white house and you have to take care of your safety, then your whole next life, so i wouldn't be surprised. well, we will also watch this, because in fact, including the american press, very often says that on there may be more assassination attempts on donald trump . another topic is important for ukraine,

because the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi... visited great britain, a strategic partner of our country, in particular , he met with the king of great britain, the prime minister with the ambassador of ukraine to great britain valery zaluzhny, zelenskyi actually spoke before the british parliament, held talks with the current prime minister, or rather with the new prime minister of great britain. armerom important really important di, important visit, an important meeting, in fact, the prime minister of great britain starmer said that supporting ukraine, this is a priority for the new government, that great britain will support ukraine as long as necessary,

and here, of course, we ... we have to talk about this topic and also need to understand whether the uk will actually now perhaps take on more commitments, whether there will be more aid to ukraine, and how effective the new british government, the new british majority, will be, compared to the previous majority, compared to the previous the government, support of our country. well, i think that there is a consensus regarding the support of great britain for ukraine. and it is not for nothing that the current ministers of the kir starmer government, who when they were ministers of the target government, came to kyiv and voiced their positions on supporting ukraine, just as they are doing now in their new ministerial positions, so i think that everything it will indeed be as it is.

the only thing, of course, is that it is necessary to understand that great britain can increase the level of support for ukraine there, but not significantly, because... it has its own budget opportunities, and kir starmin got the country in a deep crisis, otherwise his victory in the parliamentary elections would not have been so triumphant, and to what extent the aid to ukraine can be significantly increased is a rather difficult question for me, because i do not know what budget possibilities are still available in great britain , great britain always has political opportunities, these political opportunities are connected with the fact that, for example, volodymyr zelenskyi proposed when he spoke at a joint meeting with... the british government that he would like britain to allow its missiles to hit the entire territory of the russian federation, so that it becomes a pioneer here, so that it allows it to be done, so far... we do not have a concrete answer to this question, and we see that, in principle, none of the western countries is ready to make such decisions on their own. as, by

the way, the decision to shoot down russian missiles over ukrainian territory. you know that during the stay in warsaw and the signing of the joint agreement on support with the prime minister of poland donald tusk, the ukrainians also talked about the fact that there could be such an option as destruction of russian missiles. by western air defense forces over ukrainian territory, however, as soon as this information appeared, other information immediately appeared that nato countries are against it, that it is not agreed, and here too , it is difficult to say why, so we have the information that the west fears that russia will supply long-range missiles to the houthis, and this is a serious such element, i would say blackmail. which can be used by vladimir putin in order for the west to be careful with strikes on the territory of russia, therefore what putin already said about an asymmetric

response: if russia hands over long-range missiles to the houthis, who have already arrived in moscow, according to the old street journal, it will change the security situation in the far east, but yesterday we saw a drone flying from tel aviv to he flew to tel aviv. killed a person there, and he was from yemen, and you understand that it is even more difficult for israel to fight the houthis in yemen than with hamas in the territory of gaza and with hezbollah in the territory of lebanon. this time. imagine what will happen fire long-range missiles. first, they paralyze all world shipping in the red sea and this is a multi-billion dollar loss for the united states and great britain and other western countries. second. this will change israel's security situation because these missiles will be more difficult to intercept, as we can see, than the missiles that even came from iran. that is, putin has additional options, and

such politicians as akir starma obviously know about these options. by the way, from the latest news , information appeared on our airwaves from the local media that israel struck yemen, more precisely. according to the houthis we are talking about, the fuel depots in the proto-mister city of hodeidah, which is controlled by the houthis, became the target, and there are already a huge number of videos on social networks where these fuel depots are actually burning, maybe something else is burning, maybe some weapons , well , the information, i think will be supplemented and we will find out over time, but here we ... saw that there was a response from israel, and perhaps there was also information that israel struck together with the united states of america, this information

needs further clarification, so indeed if we we are talking about great britain, if we are talking about the permission to hit the territory of russia with high-precision missiles, then we are really observing that it will be possible... escalation actually again in the middle east and again in the territory that is currently controlled by the yemeni houthis, so, in continuation of this, in continuation of volodymyr zelenskyi's visit to great britain, it is also necessary to mention the statement of the new minister of defense of this country, in particular , the minister of defense stated that china is a mortal threat to great britain, this also such a quite resonant and interesting statement, which

confirms that, if not all, then at least some european states and great britain itself are gradually beginning to understand that something must also be done with china, here is actually this statement of one of the representatives of the british government and... how can it be interpreted, including within the framework of volodymyr zelenskyi's visit of the ukrainian delegation to great britain? well, great britain is an ally of the united states in one way or another. i am in the united states with interests in asian-texas region is now key. and, by the way, not only donald trump is talking about this. joseph biden also always considered these interests to be key, and that is why he tried to agree with vladimir putin that putin would not... on this big war against ukraine, because it is clear that this big war, it is drawing resources, including the political resources of the united states in order to have the opportunity. to really contain

china, that is absolutely clear to me, and that the uk is building its vision of challenges, if you will, in line with the us understanding of the challenges, this is also an important thing, on the other hand, we understand that the united kingdom and the united states will have to negotiate with european countries that look at ct very differently, this is just the last months. emmanuel macron, olaf scholz, and george melanie visited china, xijin ping was in paris, that is , european countries continue to look at the people's republic of china, at communist china, as an important trade and economic partner, they are trying to build a special nature of the partnership, and they hope that china will realize that it benefits more from

economic development than. political confrontation, by the way, i want to remind you that it is not only china when the americans speak . antony blinkin said that china helps russia by 90% in restoring the military-industrial complex, and volodymyr zelenskyi answered that sidzimpimo promised that china would not will supply russia with weapons, these are two different approaches to china, and the ukrainian approach is closer to the french and german than to the american and british, this is also must remember. that we still have the illusion that it might be beneficial for china to end the war in such a way that it would be good for ukraine, as trump would like on ukrainian terms, but it is clear that china would just like the war to end on russian conditions, because for him russia is both a proxy army in the fight against the west, and an important ally in terms of the values ​​of the modern world, that is, after all , the position of great britain. it differs

from the position of the european union, and britain is ready, even to some extent, to go along confrontation with china, to go to confrontation with this news not only, not only china, but also those states that china supports, yes, and in this case we can have from britain... more significant support, yes, than for example, from a number of european states? i 'm not arguing, but again, we can have support if we look at china that way, rather than looking for opportunities to involve china in our peacemaking efforts. here the question arises as to who should support whom, but again it is necessary to understand that in this situation a lot depends. precisely

from the possibility of economic and political containment of china. great britain is not as economically dependent on china as european countries, but it cannot influence china, as many other countries that are consumers of chinese products, and this is also clear, so the british can calmly talk about china as europeans do not speak, because their level of their economic integration with china is still difficult to compare with the european level, and if we... remember more one question that concerns great britain, actually ex-prime minister boris johnson met with donald trump, well again we come back to trump, again we talk about him, but as they say, it has to be because trump is now number one on in the mouths of the majority, including european politicians, and a really interesting meeting took place, trump met. with johnson or

vice versa, and johnson said that donald trump will strongly support ukraine. how do you comment on this statement and this meeting, is it not an effort of the politically bankrupt politicians, perhaps of great britain, to pull themselves out of some kind of oblivion and demonstrate. that they can still play a certain role on the actual world political or geopolitical map. well , i wanted to remind you that donald trump is absolutely not interested in who is bankrupt or who is not, he supports people who share his views and values. and when there were elections in great britain, he generally welcomed nigel farage.
