11:30 pm
the palestinians left remaining observers that the united nations not member states detach us to a political analyst. any smith says washington's veto denies palestinians access to basic human rights. i think it will provide palestine with the same protections that, that other countries are provided at the you and that would allow hopefully international law to actually be enforced. cuz right now is real is essentially been allowed to bomb the palestinians with near impunity. so it would provide palestine with protections and it would set them on the road to become a state. washington does support israel's ethnic cleansing of palestine. washington, well, it will support is real unconditionally because they protect our oil interests in the region. oil, interest and other economic interest is not just oil but and, and gaza is an important spot. economically. there's natural gas off the coast of guys. it would allow them easier trade and easier access to the sea. so i think
11:31 pm
there are economic reasons that the us supports the ethnic cleansing of the palestinian people and the seizure of land and gaza. and while publicly they'll say that they're reprimanding is real. they're asking israel to show restraint in reality, behind the scenes they don't care, they'll support is real unconditionally, so long as israel continues to act as a neo colonial outpost in the middle east. to stay with r t international. i'll be back with much more news in about 30 minutes of next direct impact the entire body. it is the bailey show now, very different in many ways because we hold no punches. so look for it. and here we go to the bottom number one. ukraine has once again fired bustles into russia,
11:32 pm
targeting civilians. trip item number 2 to lensky blames the president of ukraine. blames is a patch on the west for not giving and more money. the truth bond number 3 is huge. use movement is getting ready to vote for a very 1st time for mode. it will tell you i'm rick sanchez. this is direct impact the . all right, let's get right to it. there has been another attack on the russian city of boulder on border. how does a border town? it's a stone's throw from ukrainian territory and has come under repeated attacks by drones and showing the video right
11:33 pm
there that was captured by civilians. and it's now been shared on telegraph all this within the past 24 hours. it shows the onslaught of incoming ukrainian missiles which damaged to houses injured, one person who was treated and released by the way. why so little damage? why did they do so little damage? mean getting a place that goes with vessels? well, ever since ukraine began targeting civilians in the area of belgrade, russia, the 2 things. first thing it did is point and advanced air defense system to intercept incoming missiles. that is what you are seeing right there in this video . or almost all of these missiles were intercepted. now, we should talk a little bit about that air defense system, the air defense system. it seems to be working right based on what we just saw there. but there had been countless attacks in the past where nothing or very little was intercepted. tonight,
11:34 pm
new video capturing the moment missiles, rain down on billboard, russia, a border of just 25 miles from ukraine. it's one of the most severe attacks carried out on russian soil since the war began. footage show explosions in the middle of town with cars and buildings on fire and black smoke rising across from a christmas mark. if somebody can read this man horrified in staying on his cellphone footage, there are dead people lying there. everything is smashed glass everywhere. russian officials say more than a dozen people were killed, including children, more than a 100 others wounded. yeah, it's, it's, it's been horrible and it's been going on and on for quite some time the attack on civilians killing many of them, including children as you heard in the report. as far as the government and parents to take on the difficult task of taking those children in do live there in belgrade,
11:35 pm
and moving them out of the border town for their own protection of 9000 children. not being evacuated from the russian city of belgrade. following ukrainian strikes, the coffin of belgrade published a video on friday showing the departure of the fast group. $1200.00 children will lead the pens. the town which is on the border with ukraine, seen shelling and recent weeks strikes, of killed 16 people and injured several of those rational socrates of accused ukraine of carrying out the strikes. well actually it's not so much an accusation as it is a dangerous tactic on the part of ukraine. ukraine is asked if about bag for the us and they. busy countries to please send me more money and more arms to combat the tax on their own territory. they say, and they have to,
11:36 pm
they have received it by the way, most of the funds, most of the money to the tune of hundreds of hundreds of billions of dollars buy some estimates, something like 300 and $20000000000.00 has been punched to them. this is starting to think about that number 320000000000 dollars, but it seems most of that funding has been sent and spent, and still ukraine has not been successful in repelling russian advances. those are just the facts. okay. in fact, most military analysts, even those now in the west, the guys you see on like cnn and the bbc and fox and all those places, they're going on the air and having to admit for the 1st time that you grant is losing ukraine is losing this war with russia, and it's continually giving up more and more territory. now, if that's the case, which it seems to be, why them is ukraine not taking every penny that it has left or every penny that it
11:37 pm
gets? think about this and using it in a, in, in the manner in which those who sent the money to them intended to be used. right . what, why aren't they using it to protect their own territory? the answer to that question has to do with a very knock, a villian tactic that president lensky seems to be deployed. or all of you know, to deviate from our calling on line. the line of justice as i am and justice for mister sa landscape means. so let's get appears to be implementing some form of blackmail on the west, essentially telling them, look, i don't want to attack russia. i don't want to attack russia. but if you don't give me more money, if you don't give me lensky more money, have to mean that that's the is argument. seems to be. i'm doing, i'm, you know,
11:38 pm
i'm, i'm bombing uh, you know, cities like bounder odd because i have to. it's all i can do using us and made a weapon rate of bomb russian targets, especially civilians and even children is no doubt giving many western leaders heartburn. it's gotta be right. they could simply cut off zaleski. they could tell him that he's just gone too far and that his actions could cause world war 3 and he's better stop, or they could just pay the ransom. right. pay that right? so money give him the funding that he wants, which is what he says they must do. so that way he won't have to, he won't feel compelled to have to attack places like boundaries. this is fascinating. this, this will malcolm basically and came that we're talking about now involved in russia and, you know, great britain in the united states and ukraine. well, right now, by the way, and i should tell you, this is important. it appears that the us congress is leaning toward doing just
11:39 pm
that, paying the ransom, giving them what he wants there's, there's certainly enough thoughts to, to move the, the bi partisan pieces to the house. and what about the question of zalinski going to far in attacking those russian targets potentially conflict grading this uh this, uh, this was a, well, it appears to us concern is not so much whether ukrainian missiles kills severe. busy ions and, or children, they appear, us officials, that is to be more concerned about the good listen to this. you know, what they're more concerned about the global oil markets. according to this article right there that i'm showing you right now that i read this morning when i woke up . according to this article in the washington post us vice president campbell, i harris met with mr. zalinski in munich recently and warned him to stop attacking russian oil refineries. according to this waffle article,
11:40 pm
the vice president told zalinski to refrain because it is a topic that quote, new us officials believe would raise global energy prices. the exact words that i just read you was what i read this morning and the article that's being attributed either to the vice president of the vice president's team. higher gas prices is not what the white house wants during on election year. joining us now to discuss this too long time guest of the show were joined by former betting on official michael maloof and international relations and security analyst mark. just about a um i guess we start there, mark, i go to you. what do you make of this wonderful article which seems to suggest that the united states is concerned with the wednesday uh, sending missiles into russia, but not so much because they might kill children and injures vaskins or start
11:41 pm
running for 3. and for us that gets angry enough, but because they're interfering with. busy the global oil prices, you say what to that? sorry. yeah. so 1st of all is western political will leads, political, military leads, don't give a fig for the russian civilians in belgrade or ukrainian civilians. for instance, that were sheldon, the don boss, by the regime that sees power with us help in kelvin, 2014. in fact, the western media, including the new york times, spoke approvingly of law. rain strikes into bell gord and last year. drones strikes on skyscrapers in moscow as necessary to bring the war home to the russian people, which is white washing and justifying political pair openly in the us as ashley
11:42 pm
long promoted a strategy of long range strikes into russia. now when it comes to the, the question of the oil refineries, it's a little bit more complicated. we know that american voters are ludicrous ludicrously sensitive to the price of gasoline over any other electoral issue with the same. certainly electoral candidates are very careful about it. and if there's even a perception that um, a russian strikes on russian oil refineries are raising the price of oil. now that's question because these are refineries. they're refinery oil for domestic gas to leave use for the most part, there's a question. first of all, it hasn't had that much of an effect. there hasn't been a spike. and gas lien price is diesel prices in russia. there hasn't been, um, a, any slowdown of the russian military on the front due to
11:43 pm
a lack of supplies. generally, the effect of the strikes is vastly over inflated in the western media. that said, the markets are always rational things. the price of oil was going up and better to play it safe. now here's the problem. i have every long range strike like heating oil refineries in crowds. the daughters is facilitated by western satellite that every single one know strikes are impossible, without $440.00 nato's satellites pin. put those in every other strikes deep within russia. so whatever the u. s. may be saying publicly, they're also providing the targeting data for these strikes, in my opinion, spending kamala harris to send the foreign policy message is pretty much equivalent to the way the chinese just greeted. the german chancellor o off schultz at the airport in beijing. they sent the deputy mayor of bays yang to
11:44 pm
meet up with the mayors are really important. michael maloof joins us as well. michael and the idea that we would create a scenario where the weapons that you and i pay for with our taxes are being used to kill civilians in russia is not something i ever thought that i would see in my lifetime. and it scares the hell out of me, shouldn't it? yes, we shouldn't even be involved. but given the politics and the pollution of where we are today, you can see why that's happening, why we're also now deeply involved in another term while in the middle east. i think one of the, uh, zalinski is problems, is that so much is of the of us ordinance now is going to israel and not to him. yeah. but is it but, but my point is this, and it's a fine one. is this not
11:45 pm
a bridge too? far, i mean, it's one thing to support ukraine and say, we're going to give you money so you can defend yourself against an invasion from russia to another thing to say, we're going to give you money. and if you're okay to use it to bomb russia, a country with more nuclear, where warheads and we got, well, the united states tries, as you say, ties to discourage the wency from doing that. he is black mailing the united states to get more otherwise he'd use them internally. that's his argument. but he is marks us heating oil refineries in russia using drones, but they're not in a swarm tactic. and so n, he's not destroying them that, that the russians, the russian oil economy still can deal with that. but the, but the reality is that zalinski is, is, is black mailing the united states to get more stuff, more money, much of that money is going to go to produce more to our, to our industrial complex. yeah. to, to produce those weapons. so we can give him the older which,
11:46 pm
which is the game. yeah that's, that's, that's, that's really the gap that is the game. what, what do you make of a month? you know, i go back to you on this mark, be the big this question of i called it blackmail. i mean, i'm using the word blackmail. maybe. maybe i'm using that term out of school, but i can think of a better term and i was sitting there as i was carrabba's as i was writing my intro today, i was sitting there on the computer thinking, and i wrote black mail that i got rid of it that i wrote it again that i got rid of it and then i replaced it with another word. and finally i went with it. i said, is there a better word than black bell? if you're telling the united states or nato country is. if you don't give me this money, i am going to do that. i mean, i also, i suppose, could have made the comparison to what my children did when they were very young. and that was to throw themselves on the ground and scream and kick them till i gave them what they wanted. same thing. okay, so there may be an element of black male, as you say here, specifically with regards to the threat of, of raising oil prices,
11:47 pm
raising gasoline prices during the us in a campaign year. but i want to point out the, the u. s. as in courage, right? long range strikes within russia. this has been spoken about in policy papers. it's been spoken about by u. s. military experts. the secretary of defense lloyd austin, has said, the goal of the us is too weak in russia and to inflict on them a strategic defeat. they don't care about american weapons being used in russia. they are just fine with that. that isn't acceptable escalation at this point because of the u. s. policy officials of said there, russia has no red line reading. we will not pay any attention. the red lines, which is absolutely taught a nuclear power, that not only as you said has more nuclear weapons in the us. what actually has far
11:48 pm
more modern nuclear weapons and carriers like hypersonic missiles and sar mites and liked them the united states. but this is on the ask, this is the school, a tory latter that we're on. and the us has no sign that they even desire and exit ramp. i think this aid was always going to be approved and it's really just domestic, petty part is in wrangling that has held it up over a border security issue as long as it has. i've got to get to you. i know i see you over there. you're ready to go, we're going to go give me 5 2nd. give me a t's on what you want to say. he doesn't have the, he doesn't have the, the, the, the ordinance to do anything internally. so he's going to try to aim at infrastructure within russia. it's south side, we'll keep it at that and you'll be able to amplify that when we come back, michael maloof as well as mike's on boat right here. i'm rick sanchez. we're going to be back with more on this discussion and ask
11:49 pm
a question about another country that's going to be in the news for the next 6 to 7 weeks in the big election. important election. lots so young people will put those 2 together for you. stay right there. the face has always captured humanities imagination. i mean, let's face it, space is cool, but only the chosen few are able to head beyond the, the earth's atmosphere. it takes years of preparation to actually take on at that final frontier space training pushes the human abilities limits to the very edge. so who are the super heroes of today? let's get to know them a little better. the
11:50 pm
in the 2nd half of the 1940, the powerful european armies were losing their color. one of the 1st to start collaborating. what's the dutch empire? on august 17, 1945. the declaration of independence of indonesia, a former judge colony was proclaimed the liberation movement westlake by the national hero of the indian nation. people to carnis, however, amsterdam had his own plan, which was to defeat the revolution. moreover, they were supported by great britain. the colonial troops setup control over the main cities in the country, but the countryside remained in the hands of the rebels. and the resistance continued growing in 1946, the british last indonesia. whereas the dots did not want to lose power and switched to the tactics of total terror. in december 1947,
11:51 pm
the royal troops committed. the massacre of the inhabitants in the village of rubble got a $431.00. civilians were killed all in all the lives of 100000 indian agents were on the conscience of the dutch colonialists and their allies, mass executions, and regular bombing did not help the netherlands. their troops got blocked in the cities. the world community demanded to put an end to violence, and the empire started negotiations. in 1949, the head round table conference was held, and the kingdom of the netherlands was forced to recognize the independence of the demetrius. a sovereign muslim state appeared on the world map and became one of the most powerful countries in the islamic world. the quarterback distracted back. i'm rick sanchez and i'm joined by up for public on official michael maloof security analyst marks will boda. my thanks to both of your
11:52 pm
gentlemen for joining us. i know you were you were like the kid in class raising your hand and wanting to be called on by the teacher here. and uh, i think, i think you make a fair point, expand on that, that you were sharing with us. yeah. they're not gonna get the ordinance and whatever they do get, it's got to be too little too late. and it doesn't change the straight at the strategic balance of what is on the ground in ukraine today. and so the lift gate is using his home, made drones, basically, to hit the infrastructure inside of russia to try to weaken it. and that's what has alarm about the oil and gas. do you believe that he's doing this? you know, listen i, i was just listening moments ago i started clicking around cuz the big boat is this weekend in congress about the, this is coming up in a couple of days regarding the vote on whether to fund not just ukraine, but taiwan and israel and everything else and i was listening to some of the convers when i'm a couple of congressmen were saying they're on the verge of losing everything. i
11:53 pm
mean, things are so bad, a new brand new. i have no idea how bad it is. we've got to help those folks. well that was the argument he was making, but i what i took from it was, things are really bad in ukraine. him, does it not? i mean, he, ukraine has run out of soldiers. ukraine has run out of a lot of things. yeah. they're in a very tough place right now. there's gotta be no kind of offensive what the rush was. always, always what you're sending them because they can't fight internally. let's just last some missile. yeah. but who? yeah. russia, yes, piece meal it's, it's, it's pinpoint stuff to just irritate, but it doesn't, it doesn't eliminate or knock down the structure uh with the, with the, the area. but we've got the mike, but here's the other thing. you're killing innocent people. you're killing us. i know, i know, i know that but the, but what's the response rush? it was in response to some of these attacks the other day, rushes,
11:54 pm
the response was the a knock out completely. the electric generators and keep, you know, i'm in a big way ice. i almost think there's a similarity right now between a rod and russia. i mean, iran has a country destroy, it's embassy assessed somebody but several of its people while they're doing it in a 3rd country. and they basically call with 5 hours of anticipation and say, oh, by the way, we're going to send some drugs, make sure you knock them all down, you know, like really, and now i'm watching russia, they're having civilians killed and i'm wondering, please rush, i don't do what i think you can do, please don't do that because it's gonna start world war 3. but i think russia is actually showing um, you know, uh what, what's the word i'm looking for here mark what, what is, what is, what's just showing that, you know, a lot of people wouldn't expect they want him after being hit this way. restraint, restraint, sponsible space would a and the desire not to escalate to a nuclear confrontation with the united states. but all of these things are lost on
11:55 pm
the, the politicos closing is war time leaders in washington, d. c. a who is simply aren't capable of of understanding these concepts. i think michael maloof is right, that this long range strikes is a deliberate strategy for the average him, because they can't win on the battlefield. then the west cannot provide the key munitions like artillery shells and intercept their missiles for air defense in the quantities that they need, whether the money games through or not. because their military industrial complex isn't geared up for this. but from the very beginning, the only hope of a russian defeat in this has been a collapse of political stability and russia. the intention in washington they, they fully believed that the, the sanctions would have that effect,
11:56 pm
that they would crush the russian economy. the rubel would be rubble as, as we heard the jen savvy and then others say, and the russian people would rise up in the street and overthrow their government and then that, that would be right. obviously, that didn't happen. so the only way to create the political stability and russia necessary to shake their political well mm. is these type of terror attacks these type of long range strikes on civilians as the new york times. 2 to bring the war home to the russian people. that's a deliberate strategy of hoping against hope of creating political turmoil and russia. it's having the exact opposite effect of yeah, the russian people are showing ro, archival rally around the flag. and let's finish this and it's having the opposite effect, but they really don't have any other options. i would expect that their tactics
11:57 pm
will get more extreme and more extreme and more dirty. and russia is already saying that there is a ukrainian, possibly a western connection with terror attacks, like the crocus seed and that whole tear another example of this long range strike. and that's an important word that are using terror. we've got 30 seconds because i've got another story on india. i want to get and go. i wanted to say that . so lensky was doomed from the start on, on this campaign against russia. hm. they were always trained for defensive not offensive. and that's why they have their failing today. i want to bring in this other story. now i want to share something with you. this is interesting. this is something that is taking place in india. and i'm going to get a little bit of help in there. perfect to show you a typical indian use your ready. this is his name, but i liked this guy. i really liked this guy. his name is josh rush saying, and i like young people everywhere. he's full of life. a heck of a dancer,
11:58 pm
don't you think? he's also one of about 18000000 young indians who will go to the polls for the 1st time this year? 18000000. and what are they looking for when they vote jobs, like nature provide the education employment because a lot of the news is now getting educated much, then they're not doing that job. they are educated as educated as anybody in the world, but they're going to need jobs. the election starts this weekend. it's gonna last about 7 weeks bodies expected to win in a landslide, but that hasn't stopped him from thinking about locking in that youth. but he's implementing and has just announced a plan for more and newer jobs. he better. it's to create 18000000 of them. now the 30 seconds, do you think you didn't know if bark? um, he has shown the ability to raise uh, india z economy. they're one of the fastest growing economies in the world, surpassing china by sell measures. and moti is easily going to win the landside,
11:59 pm
he's seen is the pro business candidate. yeah, i agree. i think it's going to be hard for him to do anything. but when and when, by a lot my thanks to both of you. we are out of time mark as usual. brilliant stuff, michael maloof as usual, the same to you. thank you. good stuff. great conversation. my thanks to both of you. before we go, i want to remind you of our mission. it's simple, really, the sign of the world. that's what we try to do here every day. we've got to stop living in these little boxes, but we only know what we know, what may be, what our neighbor we like knows to don't live in boxes. farmer sandra, probably looking for you again, right here on directive. the the balance of power in the middle east is in flux. israel no longer has its volunteer to turn supremacy what is called the access of resistance is challenging,
12:00 am
is an important point. it's western patrons of the world's largest democracy in the i goes to the polls for general. busy elections, watch our special coverage on the race. right in officials of state 3. drones were shutting down by a rainy and air defenses. over is for han city known for having nuclear facilities . see what the goal of the us resolution is to break the will of callous simians to make them unconditionally submit to the occupying power in russia as you and, and bachelor slams washington for non going with the vast majority as in veto, as a palace stains were fastened per pul, membership at the united nations the.
