the city of zeus, apart from an implicit impact on civilian industries at honda seems to be innovations needed for defense to produce civilian products. so crucial what 1st of all our spending of course is just a drop compared to that of the united states doesn't matter what? 800000000000 we sent. so the $900000000000.00. yes. would you be $900.00 to $8.00? $68.00. 72. yeah, yes. it's absolutely not terrible to outside of the simple stay you most national desk with him, from the country, lot of embezzlement and kickbacks going on there because they don't have hypersonic weapons or whatever they have to do. and if this is or not out to you, they spend a huge amount of money on maintaining their military and then not only on pay enough, but also $1.00 of the maintenance of bases around the world. it's like a black hole, really. you kind of account how much you spend actually, that's where the bulk of the money is. what siphoned off criteria. although the production of lisa weapons and armaments in general take so much money that is

difficult to estimate social take, for example, their widely advertised missile defense and our inter continental missile oven guard. just one of the main components that we may use to overcome their missile, defense, or stealing schedule. the costs are simply not comparable. and we have essentially neutralized their advantages and investment of the silent a sense if this is how we need to add this. but of course, without any doubt at the end, comics of our armed forces deficient must meet the requirements of industry studies can as historically it's quite obvious the nazi regimes do not disappear on their own. it is what as a result of military festival. this was the case in germany in italy in advance does the same way. obviously it be true of the been there and not see machine and hard cream your point and now we're advancing all along the front line. judging by the records from both the ministry of defense and not in our workforce, finance still hasn't been possible to find the findings have particularly this where we can sustain fewer losses on the offensive rather than and defend myself. i

admitted this quite a non trivial task, the worst strategist, but it always hold on back. defensive sharing. i mean sparring on her road soldiers . how can we advance? are you minimum casualties? is that so many my memory per se, is a valid and legit the question is, but the, the answer is also simply we need to increase the destructive power of our weapons as well as which number and the efficiency of our personnel and assets. it also involves technical and army aviation, even our strategic areas. so certainly it shall apply to those components that are suitable for armed conflicts of this time. the companies are ground based weapons including high precision weapons artillery and armored vehicles on us. and we are enhancing our capabilities and by leaps and bounds with this area. yes, that is exactly what is happening. that is the onset to your question. the more

powerful and the great, the amount of weapons we have since you are the casualties has been entering it convention style products don't backs the question of what price we are willing to pay for the whole project. for me as well. maybe the word does not fit in here for this historic challenge that we have been forced to face up. so we have to remember every human life is priceless. every single one and the loss of a loved one for a family, for any family, is a tremendous grief. it's a good one. but the question boils down to our mission and how we define it was my purse. what is our mission was done? during our meeting earlier, one of the participants talked about the surprise that they experienced when they learned that the standard stories at home, the russians just like us. if we came to help these people see this cause that's basically the answer to the question. if we abandoned these people today, our losses would increase many times over tomorrow and our children, you will have no future thoughts because we will feeling secure. we will be a 3rd or 4th class country, and no one will respect us if we cannot defend ourselves. of the consequences could

be catastrophic for the russian statehood. that's the language mister pool down to the american seemed to talk about negotiations about strategic stability. but at the same time, they declare the need causal to inflict a strategic defeat and rodya. our position is that we're also just negotiations, but at the same time, the time for goodwill gestures has passed to go with them. so will there be no negotiations with me because we have never refused to negotiate it without goodwill gestures, without compromise. what will it look like? van motors, previously to that, i will try to explain and we had negotiations in the system will talk. you have already said this many times. i have to repeat it again. i will do it less. what's more, we negotiate this from the other side, which means we came up with a sick volume to for now a document. i'm actually a 3 to a draft and figure out what the go and the extract from this treaty it is available

. we just initial by the head of the negotiating group from the a crane inside mr. or how many actually the one that he did it took it has his signature pick up within the group. here we have it in the executive office, but then it is known as mister, how many of himself told the world publicly. also at a meeting with journalists, including foreign journalists, accept the former british prime minister, mister johnson, when he came and dissuaded them to finally, simon respectively execute this agreement and raised a topic that you have just mentioned, that the russian needs to be defi, it on the battlefields, and we really think negotiations. yes, we are ready, but only ready for negotiation. that's. it's not all based on some of the desires, after the use of psycho tropic drugs. but based on the realities that have evolved, as they say, in such cases on the ground, i see that as a 1st thing. and secondly, we have been promised many times that the nato will not expand to the east. and then we see them out of order. speaking of what they promised to, if we do not go too deep into history,

that the internal conflict in ukraine would be resolved peacefully. yes, not really. not the. as we remember, 3 foreign ministers came to keith to from poland, germany and france. you know, they promised that they would be guarantors of these agreements consultant experienced a day later, there was a code at the home. and then they promised to fulfill the minutes agreements to hand and then publicly announced that they were not going to fulfill these promises . but only took a pause to arm the band, right regime. so we were promised a lot of things. so from this, this alone are not enough in between associate, not only because they are running out of ammunition is somehow ridiculous on our part. nevertheless, we are ready for a serious conversation and we want to resolve all conflicts and particularly this conflict by peaceful nation. but we must clearly and distinctly understand that this is not a cause that's the enemy wants you to take for rearmament. but

a serious conversation with guarantees for the security of the russian federation. and we are aware of the various options that are being discussed. we know the carrots that are going to be shown to us in order to convince us that the right moment has come. we want these, i repeat once again to resolve all disputes, and this dispute isn't conflict in particular. so why peaceful means? and we are ready for that. just be sure you want to do that. but it should be a serious conversation with security assurances for the warring party. so some solution in this case is due. so we are primarily interested in the security of the russian federation. we will proceed from this premise undulation, mr. prudence. and i think we're looking a little too noble. will it turn out that they will once again to see of us? and we will console ourselves with a factor? we are honest. and then we have received us. that is our destiny to remain fools all the time. what she has, when ever since the americans mentioned metals in the 90s, for winning the cold war,

all these decades have been decades of fig lives. so how can we even hope that they will go? and finally, make an honest deal with us that they will honor and with guarantees for us. how do you even deal with them? do you really believe that this is possible? yeah, i hate to say who else are the only ones, but we need veterans. the, some of the guarantees must be spells, that would be good. they must be guarantees that would suit us and that they wouldn't believe in. this is what we're talking about. but now it is probably pretty much or doesn't have to be told publicly about what it could be, but absolutely, we're not buying any kind of just empty message. yeah, place to us. i'm afraid you're going to be quoted in an expansive way when you're willing to trust no one at all, but we're are you referring to western partners in this case? when you say you trust? no one more. yeah, i prefer to be guided by fact. so rather than by well meaning statements and talk about trusting everyone like individual lassie, when you make a decision at this level,

the degree of responsibility for the consequence of the decision is very high and showed you where that is why we will not do anything that is not in the interest of our country nationwide, by the way, what is wrong with president across the road? has he completely lost his mind. he said he is going to send the french troops to fight us, but i was and now we looks like a gaelic rooster getting ready for a block by scaring the daylights out of your opinions. how do we even respond to? so the thing is for you in the western military is going to be present and you can in so years now going back as early as a legal ukraine. now below, after the cool, the numbers have grown exponentially. each of these days, westerners get involved in the conflict, both openly as military advisors, and as for an mercenary, see, they are suffering lots of things. but if we talk about foreign troops being sent there officially by foreign countries, i am convinced that it will not change the reality on the battlefield. and that is what matters. just like arms deliveries. no,

he is notorious that age by your for. my 2nd part is fits size can lead to major geo political consequences. say polish troops enter the territory of ukraine, use the state. and so he's never any of your cleaning and other routes in border or take positions in other areas to give you. premium troops regents this to engage in combat operations on the line of content. and you should, that happens, and i don't think that told us troops whatever want to leave to him to go to the lecture, i guess this way because they will want to recover their october. and that's their dream of something. i don't know if you see us to recover the land that they consider, historically polish lands that were once taken from the matter of nations, the royalty for joseph style, interest and handed over to ukraine, over that of course, they want them back thing that i'm homeless military units enter these areas, they are never going to leave, but then other countries can follow safety to those that lost some of their territories as a result of world war 2. and i think that ukraine would have to face

a very serious geo political consequences of a few things, including some of the could threaten it. state of this current generation, the going back to manual, i'm a crown, which could it be that he decided to take revenge on russia after we step on his toes in africa. so instead of just sitting there and taking it like good little boys, probably didn't expect us to be so sort of dealing with him the younger. so i think that will be some grudge on his part because by the different when we were in direct contact with him spoken quite openly about the subject we usually is. we didn't go to africa and we didn't try to drive friends out of the content. and the problem lies and elsewhere. it has to do with the famous flags go for at 1st i've carried out a number of economic operations in syria and then it moved to other countries in afternoon. when i, the defense ministry, assisted them in some way, but only based on the fact that it was a russian group. nothing more than the model. we never pushed anyone out of african

distortion and simply the matter of african leaders signing contracts with the russian authorized economic operators. and you can, when you were wanting to do business with them and not one thanks for doing business with the furniture. in fact, it wasn't even our own initiative. you know, what i said was our african friends who brought it back to me. why would any one hold a grudge against us for that? i have no idea. if an independent state wants to develop relations with it's 4 and partners, including russia, if it wants to build ties with russia, we didn't touch any of the former french colonizers in these african countries. and i'm being completely serious here because in many former french colonies just now people don't really enjoy doing business with their former masters. and it has nothing to do with us, nothing whatsoever. you know, it must be convenient to take offense at someone. and i'll also let you know on your own thoughts. perhaps this acute and rather emotional reaction on the part of the french president has to do with the ongoing development and some of the african countries. although i do know that some african states see the percents of the french as completely normal and say that yes, they are ready to work with the french. and while some countries don't want to try

to, but it has nothing to do with russia, we're not in sitting anything or fitting anyone against france. that's never been a goal for us to be honest. yeah, we don't even have a specific state level policy to develop stronger ties with africa. we're just friends and that's all they want to build deeper relations with us. and we welcome that and we're always ready to meet them halfway. there is nothing to be upset about. now they say in france that there are no more red line was left with regard to russia that nothing is off the table. listen, every thing as an altima, we hear how they want to speak with us in terms of a balance of power. and we hear a lot of weird things coming from france from the west. in general, from lithuania, the voices are somewhat distant. but overall, of the course, sounds hostile or perhaps we too could go for an unconventional option and invite say, the $2000000.00 strong north korean army in exchange for our new cars or umbrella, over half the korean peninsula. why not?

and what to look for one thing, the democratic people's republic of korea has its own nuclear umbrella. they haven't asked for our health and not the respect. secondly, as we see it today, based on the progress we've made on the battlefield, we are quite capable of accomplishing the task that we set for ourselves. as for the countries that claim, they have no red lines in dealing with russia. they should realize that russia likewise will not have any red lines in dealing with my tests from the smaller states in europe. first, though, we treat them all with respect, no matter what. and secondly, when these smaller nations call for a tougher policies, awards, russia, and demand other please take extreme measures against us, including the deployment of troops and so on. they only do that because they know they won't have to face the consequences of that provocative rental purchase. as for the ones who do, they behave in a much more restrained manner. and rightly so, let's send all that class of germany's tourist missiles. the german chancellor hold off, schultz said they won't supply us with our forces that insist on supply and tore us

to crane. the british came up with the initiative to supply tours missiles through the u. k. they are ready to arrange the transit. the target is the crime in britain . let's say german generals are already planning operations. they are, as we for not only against the crime in bridge, but against military base is deeper inside the russian territory. exploring somebody already says that those missiles may be used to strike the kremlin. are they getting the carried away in their dreams each time? something 1st its pipe dreams sensor and wishful thinking on their own heart seconds they are trying to communicate us. now. we ask for germany way to get them to me. there are constitutional implications for them that are in this as well. they are asking quite the right place. but what if those notices get them to part of the crimean bridge? and that is undoubtedly even in their own books, russian territory. that would be a violation of the constitution of the federal republic of germany. the thing is,

the opposition of germany, even more aggressive. let's see where their mouth gets. and then we just to make sure we are keeping an eye on that, and then we'll 1st look at they already use those british and us made missiles. but that doesn't change the situation on the battlefield much. i'm at least yes, they inflict a certain damage, obviously, but that doesn't change the course of the hostilities and the consequences that inevitably before the opposing party. so we've been hearing a lot on russian channels, international channels and german channels as well. how many assets in germany are out of order or require update repairs and so on. let them work a couple apartments because as you rightly said, there are things they must think he should stop in front of me and then think about smarter ones among them will stop and then start thinking i was know which can. and what about the new natal members finland suite and what is their bargain here for swedish, for administer tobias vill storage. the recently told that perks that lot waiting, instead of hose to having no faces on its territory,

didn't they know the kind of club they were joining? what's happening to them or the rest of the 20th, you should ask them. i have no idea. we used to have selling it and measuring this process in the stable relations with these 2 countries in here. and i think that they gain more from being neutral. so we did it because it gave them certain advantages. at the very least they could offer and negotiate any platform that was in your shop. we used to have an ideal relationship with finland. nice things, right? simply ideally we never had a single disputed, really not territorial, not otherwise. we didn't even have any troops at the border with finland and we moved them all out today. why did they choose to do what they did? and in my opinion, purely for political reason, we got that. they probably wanted to become members of the western club to get under some kind of umbrella. what did they gain from you? that is just, frankly speaking, i don't know so, but i think it is an absolutely nonsense of a move from the viewpoint of ensuring their own national interest. anyway,

it's up to them yet. it was their decision. when you might, we didn't have troops on the board or before, but now we will. we didn't have we phone systems there and, but now we will send for what mama, calisha, we were on very good terms. actually they tapped into our market and any turn, we bought a lot of goods from dentistry. what's wrong with that? but now things are going to change. many of their goods. gifts actually aren't really sought after another mark and when our markets have to compensate as well, i don't understand, you know, it's based, it's a trivial thing. and that was the last thing recently is both in helsinki and especially in the border areas of finland. they accepted russian rubles, yes, even in helsinki and major supermarket, so you could buy whatever goods you wanted for, rubles, there were advertisements and russian all over the place. now there were no regions are going bankruptcy. yes, yes. but i wanted to make a different point. let's look at the side of the economic way since i've been doing

very well. real estate prices were solid. economically, they were doing great. but apparently there were forces in finland that were well. overly right wing, overly conservative nationally steven that didn't like that. so they dislike building these closer ties with russia. some thought it was going to far, why are these russians buying houses on our land buying apartments? and why is everything now suddenly in russian? so i think no, i know there was this nascent anti russians sentiment growing at the individual levels of the listings. it could be that some political forces inside the country decided to take advantage of that bias and very well couldn't be all these factors . some combined let defend one's decision. that's what i think, but i'm not a 100 percent. sure, of course. in any case, that portion of their decision certainly does not help in terms of security, both militarily, between russia and finland and in europe as a whole. in the meantime,

the presidential campaign is in full swing in the united states and you seem to be a factor there, indivisible, you are there. as every candidate on the democrat or republican alike mentioned you and there's pieces and arguments. in fact, the impression is your everywhere a newspaper in tv news headlines there, an argument in everyone's electoral campaign. besides, it seems like you are adding the will to that fire sheet with i seen that one of the candidates is preferable for us. well, if the president of a foreign country says that in canada, in another country is preferable and then is it a classic case of election meddling? to what degree you think you're in fluency and america's elections? by saying that by the end is more desirable to you, is it trolling or something else thrown and can you just let me tell you one thing that will show that my preferences here haven't changed. we are not interfering in any election, such as i have said many times we will work with any lead the rest of the american

people, american voters elect. what is curious, know is that in the last year, tenure, president trump, now a presidential candidate, reproached me for sympathizing with vitamin over 4 years ago. he told me during one of our conversations, but excuse me, but i'm quoting him directly here. you want sleepy joe to when he told me that when he was president, later though much to my surprise, he was prosecuted because we had allegedly supported him as the candidate. well, that's utter nonsense or, you know, sort today's election situation that's getting more and more uncivilized. i'd like to refrain from giving any comments on the matter. i think it's obvious to anyone now that the us political system can not claim to be democratic in all senses of the word. as actually to be honest, your preference for by and look strange to me after all in 2011. but i'm buying food in moscow to try and talk to out of running for another presidency. do you remember what he told her about that during his meeting with russia as opposition

in the special house? gary cosper wrote about that later. helpline had come to the vin prime minister food and next week in his moscow whitehouse office to talk to him out of running for president, threatening to stage an airbus bring in russia. otherwise, that is why i didn't wasn't a big fan of years. even back then, it's like a historical and in missing between you to write honestly, i didn't pay much attention. there was a westcott, you didn't even pay much attention. there was no enmity from a customer, so it was serious to him, but not to you. well, this exactly testifies as an intervention in our domestics, is there another policy matters? and then that we have said many times and i said many times, we will not allow anyone to do that. and i shall sketch. well, if we step away from election, metal escalation still can take longer. so if it looks as if the terms superpowers, russia in the us, are playing what is called checking game and america, it's a game when 2 guys put their cars in the collision horse. and the 1st one is the

square of loses. it looks like nobody swimming 1st. this time, stuart is collision inevitable. seriously, announced recently the sense of the of us something we know what the american troops on the russian territory means. it means intervention muslims. and this is how we are going to treat it. even if they show up on the territory of ukraine, that they understand it. i said that night and it was a man of the traditional school politics. and we see proof that just signed by them . they have plenty of other experts in russian american relations and strategic deterrence. so i don't think we're on a collision course, but we are ready for that as well. i'm coming by and i've said many times that to us it's a matter of life and death to them. it's a matter of improving their technical standing globally and in europe in particular . so it's a matter of retaining this data among their allies. it's important, but not as important as it is to us. if you say we are ready for this, for loss, for alexander, duke and an expert, and you hope all is it got sort of directly calls for everyone to prepare for

a nuclear war, saying that the more prepared we are, the lower the chances of it happening if someone can one, be prepared for it at all. are we really ready for a new to the war? so reading the diffusion of the military and political standpoints, we are, of course, our nuclear assets are always on constant alert us the young. that's one thing sustained, but the 2nd thing is that our nuclear triad is more advanced than any other ones. in fact, there are only 2 such tribes and the powers at americas, and we are more advanced in this respect, our nuclear component is more advanced. while we are more or less as a possibly in the and in terms of warhead and missile numbers, i think ours are more advanced. it is a known fact in the expert community. that doesn't mean we have to compete who has more missiles and warheads, those who need to know i'm going to. so it experts, specialist, the military, say no to the americans now strive to advance their weapons and make new ones. there is a plan in place for that, and we know that as much as they are updating all of their components. and so are

we have to because of it doesn't mean though that they are ready to unleash a nuclear war tomorrow. well, if they are, then, what can we do cause to us? we already lose. maybe russia should conduct a nuclear test to some moment just to drive the point, talk these little after all, there are no international restrictions against that. there is a 3 digit beginning, such a test, but sadly, united states never ratified it. so to insure parity in this regard, as we revoked our ratification as well. since the treaty was never ratified by the us, it never came into effect due to an insufficient number of ratification. although we still adhere to its terms. we know, however, that the united states contemplates the possibility of conducting such a task. the reason for that, the reason is that when you were heads or develop new opinions, testing them and computer simulations is not enough. and some experts think in there. so a real test explosion is required in certain circles in the us. such ideas simply

do have a place that we know about that we are watching. if they conduct such a, such as test, i don't rule out. not necessarily as we still have to think whether we need it or not. i'm just for sure. don't rule out the possibility of us doing the same. are we ready for that? technically, they always on this, i want to make it clear, especially the bullet point. those are not your conventional limits, and that's a branch of our armed forces, which on permanent combat alert it to the the russian states. never as i've started as soon as the most sense community, best of all sense and the same

assistance must be the one else calls. question about this, even though we will fan in the european union, the kremlin move. yep. mission, the state on russia to day and split the smooth net keeping our video agency roughly all the band on youtube tv services. for what question did you say a request, which is the, what is the part of the visit that the employee would posted? isn't the deepest view of us and building the word or is it something deeper,

more complex might be present there? let's stop without cases. let's go products. as the every spring and summer, the melting optics move reveals abandoned machinery, millions of rusty barrels, and the detritus left by human expansion into this most inaccessible territories. yes, i used to move forward to a customer on both of us, but some of the doors at the post to be done as an issue. calling to us from clean optic travels the highest island home to the biggest opponent station on the front of joseph land capella. go kiera. he asked me for i was in the bush or more yeah to the should. so it means if you, when you feel when we see lots of money and i'm familiar with this, so i'm gonna stay on the old stuff last time. i feel like i'm a former student, let me see me and i'm not sure when you to,

i've got to read on serial know points of the middle it please to join me instead of the optic pioneers main objective was to explore and comcast these harsh lands they had no time to think about waste management now and, and i guess they could remain for centuries just my of my choice of so who even needed somebody at the course your system was a multiple and you have to go. but the team could have to deal with the issue the what else seemed wrong. just don't have to shape out the application and engagement equals the trails when so many find themselves will support. we choose to look for

common ground, the the by i'm sure that you recognize just help perilous this time is what our country and what difficult challenges lie ahead of us in almost every direction. it's core, meaning, is that you and only you, the citizens of russia can decide the future of your homeland. on the eve of the election, russian president vladimir per item calls on the nations people to consolidate and cost step of parent all day we attract the time. now i know a lot of my parents in an office and how his perception of the partnership with the west coast change, though to be it. russia is part of the european culture, and i cannot imagine my own country and nice a nation from europe. so it is hard for me to visualize natal as an enemy. we are

open to equitable coffee.
