or also. good evening, there's a big game on the air. the main event of the last few days remains, of course, the attempt at a full-scale military invasion of the ukrainian armed forces into the kursk region. and i must emphasize that, unlike those visits by ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance groups to the belgorod region that took place in the spring, this is a combined arms operation. held

a meeting with the governor of the kursk region, alexey smirnov, who reported on the current situation. let's listen to what was said there. the situation as a whole, of course, is not to me known, nevertheless i would like to listen to you with assessments of the situation in the region, right now, and a few words about the organization of the work of the headquarters and coordination of the activities of various government agencies. please. our headquarters works constantly as needed, we meet in person and also by telephone every day, when there was an attack in the ssu on the territory of the russian federation, suzhansky district of the kursk region, this is 5 am on august 6, the enemy , with infantry and armored vehicles, tried to break through our state border. the headquarters immediately gathered

and i, together with all the members of the headquarters , coordinate this work practically around the clock. and it seems to me that it is becoming increasingly obvious that the main goal of this attack is propaganda politics, this is zelensky's favorite pr, to show that ukraine can still carry out offensive, and very daring operations, that it is too early to write it off, to raise morale, and of course to prove to the west that there is no need to fear an escalation of the ussr russia and so on and so forth. and today zelensky himself indirectly acknowledged this, who said the following: that's all they see that the ukrainian army knows how to surprise, but i would add to this, it knows how to surprise with its daring stupidity, because this could end very badly for them. and one of the mouthpieces of the kiev regime, mikhail podalyak , said today that the goal is to strengthen ukraine's negotiating positions, so that they have a trump card in the form of captured russian territory, which... could then

be exchanged for something, but you must agree that for this it is necessary not only to capture this trump card in the form of territory, but to hold it for a very long time, that's it raises great doubts, because from a military point of view this provocation causes bewilderment even among western analysts, for example, let's listen to what the american new york times writes. according to military analysts, the attack may be an attempt to distract russian units from the front line and thereby ease the pressure on ukrainian troops trying to contain the russian advance, however, experts note that the russian army has sufficient reserves to maintain pressure, and that this attack risks even more, to stretch the already inferior ukrainian forces. from an operational and strategic point of view, this attack makes absolutely no sense, says pasi paironen of the blackbeard think tank. it looks like a gross waste of people and resources that are so badly needed elsewhere. your assessment from a military point of view is up to you. there are, so

to speak, theses that complement each other, for example, they say that the ukrainian side is trying to stretch the front line, meaning to attract those units russian army, which were heading to the main directions of donbass, here, as if to draw them into the fight here, on the one hand, on the other hand, you asked the question correctly, the bridgehead must be held. "then from their side it is necessary to do the same, that is, in addition to those units that have already entered and are doing something there and which we are already destroying, and if they theoretically hope to gain a foothold, then the main units must enter, which will gain a foothold on the bridgehead, because the bridgehead that was not held is not a bridgehead, this is the first, this is the second, the third, what..." they are doing now, and this is already noticeable,

they are dispersing their, and therefore units, scattering them along the line of approach, trying to create it as if it were long, and... and the ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance group appears here and there, like this, with many flashes, they are creating a situation when we must perceive, as if as a big fire, this whole, and history. at some point, they succeeded, this is generally when it is done unexpectedly, relatively unexpectedly, and this happens, well, as a result, now already this fire is dying out, they are squeezing.

the ronu of ukraine, they do not support the invasion of ukrainian troops into the territory of russia, which the united states itself considers sovereign russian, that is, they do not support offensive ground operations on the territory of the russian federation, even when there were sabotage and reconnaissance groups in the belgorod region, the united states officially said that this was not very good, that they did not support this. yes, of course, the united states allowed to strike at the border territories of russia. and today john kirby, the official a representative of the national security council, confirmed that yes, everything is still in force, nothing has changed in this policy, and he specified, i quote: the us allowed strikes to be carried out on the border territory, from where an immediate threat comes, was there

an immediate threat to the sumy region of ukraine from the kursk region? no, that is, without an immediate threat, they simply went and invaded, yes, on the territory of the russian federation and... at the same time, instead of condemning the corresponding move of the kiev regime, washington has actually supported this. there is not a single word of condemnation, and what is there, let's listen to karine jeanpierre, the official white house. in general, as you know, we support ukraine in its self-defense against russian aggression, they will continue to take actions, right, reasonable actions, of course, to protect themselves from these attacks. regarding the specific operation, we are going to contact them to find out what their goal is, and we will remain focused. we will continue to pay attention to making sure that they have everything necessary for protection against russian aggression. and today, when all this is happening in the kursk region, commander-in-chief

syrsky has already spoken with the american general, the commander-in-chief of the nato joint command in europe, general kavali, thanked him for the assistance provided, again no words of condemnation from us. as an instrument of containing our country, some puzzled comments from military experts, american ones, the not entirely confident tone with which the white house press secretary comments on this operation are connected with this, if they see that this an opportunistic foray has some operational or strategic effect, they will fully

approve of it if it allows some - to achieve results, even intermediate ones for ukraine, but if they see that this is a waste of resources. a rather expensive resource, we see from statistics that equipment and ukrainian equipment and personnel are dying in significantly larger quantities than usually happens during -

that one should not expect some kind of fair assessment from the allies of the united states. moreover, here the europeans, represented by the european union, represented by the representatives of germany, it seems to me, have even taken a much more defiant position. let's listen to what the official representative of the european commission, peter stana, said today. ukraine has a legitimate right to defend itself, including by striking the aggressor on its territory. the eu continues to fully support. ukraine's legitimate right to defend itself against russian aggression and its efforts to restore sovereignty and

territorial integrity, well, that is , it actually supported it, and the chairman of the committee german bundestag for defense, his name is markus fabber, a social democrat, a representative of the ruling sdp, actually crossed out that rhetorical line that olaf scholz had been adhering to throughout the entire conflict, because olaf scholz continued to say that on sovereign territory... they entered the kursk region with western armored vehicles, yes, our defense ministry even

showed footage of the destruction of these very german marders, ivan avič, how do you characterize the european position? and dmitry vyacheslavovich, as far as i remember, the germans have taken this position before, last year there was already a case when one of the representatives of the german command at a press conference was pestered very much... and it had already been present in the german position before, at least at the level

of military structures, the ministry of defense, as for the position of the european union, well, they, as loyal executors of the transatlantic will, they sometimes even speak out more openly than the united states, we remember that before before the special military operation. the europeans tried to act a little more softly than the americans, now they, of course, are showing their face, and it looks very showy.

the goal is, well, help us, then, to curb the kiev regime in its energy blackmail, and the european union said, let us figure it out, and then said, yes, in general, everything is fine, we don’t see any problems, that is, this top of the european union, this brussels bureaucracy, it takes a reckless position of support for the kiev regime, throughout apparently, when the kiev regime... will commit, including openly terrorist acts, they will also stand up for it, so there is nothing surprising here, i agree, but i have not thought for a long time what the representation of the european union, as an integration institution, is doing here, i will not in any case, they refuse more with the minister, member countries of the european union, but

the representative of josep barrell, and then kai kallos since october of this year, this is personally for me. connected with russia. nikolaich: the kiev regime in recent months, i would say, has tried in every way to build bridges with the countries of the world majority, what we call, including the countries of the middle east, well and not only, we see kulebas flew to china, now he is, by the way, in africa, yes, the first so-called peace summit ended in a fizzle, precisely because of unwillingness.

this is what is happening now in the kursk region, it can affect the position of the countries of the world majority: turkey, saudi arabia, the emirates, other countries, relatively ukrainian conflict. dmitry, i have been following the reaction of primarily arab countries to this conflict for 2 years now, and i can say that it is receiving a lot of attention, but you are absolutely right that the current operation, it is largely pursuing.

military actions, especially those people who need it for professional reasons, and i remember that there was a very violent reaction, for example, to the drones that flew to moscow city, but this is done precisely in order to assess what potential russia has, because for many, everything that is happening is, first of all, a test of russia's ability to protect its national interests, ensure its national security and generally confirm its status as a global power, that's exactly how it is... what is happening is viewed through the prism of russia's confrontation with the west, by and large it is perceived, that is , it all counts, therefore, by the way, at the initial stage, especially the first year, one could notice that even a certain sympathy, you know, based on the fact that we see how nato is putting pressure on russia, and russia's actions were generally understandable, now the situation has changed somewhat,

the arab countries are very concerned about the consequences of this conflict and the global confrontation in general. what they will see now will rather worry them, they can make additional efforts to somehow initiate a peaceful dialogue, unfortunately, that's my own feeling.

what ukraine is doing, but we are already seeing a very peculiar reaction to their support in connection with the events in the sahel, for example, well, in general , the two countries broke up, absolutely right, in general in general, i can tell you that for most countries in this region , their own conflicts are much more important, to be honest.

i am in favor of a multipolar world consisting of sovereign centers of power, a little advertising, then we will continue, you were close to death, yes, several times, i lived in a cruel, difficult and wonderful time, and despite everything, the best years of my life are connected with work in intelligence, we burn everything behind us, you and i will cope, because i worked for the good of the motherland, do your duty, the duty of a patriot of russia. dmitry bystroletov, an outstanding intelligence officer , an unrivaled master of recruitment,

a courageous man who did not break under the blows of fate. in the camps, i quickly stopped identifying my executioners with my homeland. there were periods in russian history when the only place for a decent russian was in prison, so even in the camps i was in my place. sometimes the forces are cut off, the meaning of what is happening becomes completely. ghostly, what becomes your support, love, we are together again, i believe that i have lived a good life and am ready to live it exactly also once again, legends of intelligence, genius of reincarnation, recruiter on saturday on the first, it does not happen that a person was in your life, here he disappears, even if he dies, in this girl i almost do not recognize that ... child who 5 years ago lost the most precious thing, his mother. i do not think that i am without her. i have a pile of memories, but this is my mother. yulia nachalova died very

young, at 38, leaving her beloved daughter, vera, with her parents and ex-husband. i said that, unfortunately, i have very difficult news for you, that mom is no longer with us no, what he experienced at that moment, that evening, only he knows. it is a great responsibility to tell your child that... his mother is gone. how did yulia's only daughter survive this loss, what path did she take after her mother's death? i am somehow really, really, super-strong. i somehow pulled myself together, that is, our exclusive 5 years of adult life of a girl who decided, at all costs, to become a star in memory of her famous mother. when you came into the world, my life changed. i will always be by your side.

hit a lighter mig-21. mig-21 is a wonderful aircraft, the pilot in the mig cockpit felt confident. attack indication, first target, i poked, connected, pressed gsh, went, launched four missiles like this, it happened, but within 10 seconds, no more, 127 takes off at 15, it attacks first, then we attack it, not all air battles have been lost, releasing a mediocre fighter, this is generally not difficult, if we... make a combat vehicle, then we have only one way out, to make it such that it defeats the enemy. by air force day russia premieres on sunday on the first, in

the new season, on the first, there are already rumors about this crime in the city, wherever you go , they say everywhere, women are lured into a taxi and shot in the back, i wanted to ask you about your find, this knot seemed very massive, although it was quite easy to get under, you are worthy of great honor, moles, honor and trust of the reich, remember this, after the war i was looking for my son's comrades-in-arms, i was interested in what was happening there at the end of the war, and anything could have happened there. photos if you don't have one? it's strange, where were they, were they here? my god, how similar to my son? you are the only real witness, the only person he came to openly. well, major, the hunt has begun, confronting.

and here's an interesting article published today by two american experts who write that all these cliches that biden shares , yes, which he constantly talks about, are not very supported by american society, including that part of the electorate that sympathizes with kamali haris. let 's listen. if you believe the polls, many of those who root for harris are loath to return to an era when notions of american exceptionalism justified failed wars of regime change, when the u.s. saw itself as democracy’s sole arsenal and indispensable protector, when criticizing israel was tantamount to heresy, and rethinking u.s.-european relations invited accusations of abandoning allies. our research recently found that americans who favor a negotiated settlement in ukraine are more than twice as likely as those who those who are against it, and that they prefer de-escalation, they full return of the territory of ukraine, these sentiments reflect

the war weariness of nations that is still healing . veteran, as a result of several decades of misadventures in iraq and afghanistan. grandiose statements equating unlimited aid to ukraine with the survival of democracy itself, as biden did, are more likely to cause skepticism than enthusiasm among independent voters. well, these two authors conclude that the choice of tim walls as harris's running mate creates some preconditions for changing us foreign policy in a more progressive direction, if you will, given walt's track record, after all, some of his actions in the area of ​​foreign policy, yes, he was a categorical critic and opponent of the invasion of iraq, once, and he was against the united states under the obama administration interfering in syrian affairs and supporting terrorists in syria against the assad regime, and he was strongly critical of the united states' support for saudi arabia during its war in yemen.

how do you assess the prospects for correction, at least of american foreign policy, if harris waltz really does ascend to the pedestal, given these public sentiments. dmitry vyacheslavevich, i would like to immediately question two points here. first, the fact that their previous track record of these people can say something about how they will behave if elected. senator joseph biden , when he was an employee of the american congress, with what kind of... initiatives , quite reasonable and constructive, not spoke out, but once he became president, for example, he was against the baltic countries joining nato, in particular, and he was even condemned by his fellow party members for his too conciliatory, peace-loving line, and he continued the usual, quite ordinary american logic of global leadership, dominance, as soon as he became the american president, under him the defense budget of the united states broke yet another record since the cold war. i... i do not believe that

in the event of a victory by the democrats or the republicans, the schedule of the american the defense budget will go down, oh no, on the contrary, we will most likely see it strengthen, at least stabilize in this... in total 800-900 billion more than all the defense budgets of most major countries in the world, the second circumstance is that people without experience of life during the cold war have a different vision in relation to the american role, in addition to biden , there are many people in his administration who are relatively young and not forged during the period of this global confrontation, and nevertheless fully reproduce the logic of the american strategies.

the left wing of the democratic party hates netanyahu, is fiercely critical of the current israeli policy, us policy towards israel, and demands change. josh shapira, the governor of pennsylvania,

was not chosen for this very reason kamal and harris as vice president, vice presidential candidates, because again the left progressive wing opposed it, because he is jewish, and accordingly he was immediately associated with... with israel. and finally, just yesterday a very curious sociology, which was published by the chicago council on global affairs. only 35 democrats support the involvement of the armed forces of the united states in support of israel. only 35 democrats. in total , only 41% of americans in the country as a whole support that the united states should, if anything, participate with its troops on the side of israel. and this.

here he really wants the nobel peace prize, perhaps he will intensify negotiations with iran, we'll see, at least this is the fruit that hangs low and reaches him you can probably reach it, well, and... as for the democratic administration, well , look, the same thing has already been said, the americans are tired of endless wars, in the eyes of the american public, the middle east is precisely the place where endless wars are waged, so in any case, the policy, in words, if we look at some national security strategy, it will most likely change little, yes, but fewer resources will be allocated to this region, but actually the central command, it is so... little by little he starts complaining that he doesn't have enough resources to protect

american interests in general, in this regard, any activation of the houthis was a huge gift, because that was a reason to tell the congressmen: we need money, we need weapons. well, but seriously, i studied all these documents, what 's going on? they change, depending on the administration, priorities change places, the list of these priorities is quite short, it's control over sea routes, it's freedom. access to energy resources - this is the protection of allies, the fight against terrorism, that is, something may come first, something second, but this general package, this basket, it remains unchanged, yes, kamala harris will probably be more critical of israel. trump clearly treats israel with great sympathy, he has no problems with netanyahu, unlike obama, who , to put it mildly, had strained relations with him. well, and i only expect that the democrats, if they

come to power, they will, by and large, they will continue the same policy, there will still be dialogue with iran, because they need it, there will still be support for israel, because it is impossible to refuse it, it is a key ally, but at the same time there will still be relations with saudi arabia, with the arab world and another thing, efforts will be made to spend less resources and get involved less in new endless wars, i would only add one thing, both administrations will try to build , simultaneously with dialogue with iran, an anti-iranian coalition from saudi arabia nothing will work, saudi arabia does not want to be part of the anti-iranian coalition, this is absolutely obvious, and moreover, they make it clear in every possible way that we should not be dragged into this confrontation, even now, even in the current situation, this is clearly visible, i completely agree, but many associate much greater hopes for changes in foreign policy with the republicans.

transatlantic relations, shifting the burden of security in europe, supporting ukraine, he is consistently against additional allocations to ukraine. not the economy in the world, if they can't repel a russian invasion, that doesn't mean

america should provide security for germany, that means the germans need to get off their asses and invest in their own defense. ivan vasilyevich, well, by the way, j.d. vance today, if my memory serves me right, said that he won't even answer calls from ukraine, that's the same question, will the character of american foreign. you asked, will the directions change politicians, my colleagues told you that they command, but in general they will go in the same direction, and now you are asking about the character, the character can really change, that is, how they present, how they frame certain actions, but i would like to say this first, that - two - there is a lot of criticism of american foreign

policy, including within the united states, both those who support the biden administration and those who support trump, very many in the ascertaining part, that is, in the description of the fact that much is not it turns out that they say a lot of the right things, they don't have a scenario, a resultant part, the advice, as a rule, sounds quite banal, stupid and maybe they seem comfortable to them, but this is not what the countries of the world majority will accept, therefore the feeling that something is going wrong, they themselves, it is quite significant, there are those who say: no, no, no, everything is fine, let's continue, there are almost no such people left even within the united states. what is the contradiction, why do they feel uncomfortable? on the one hand, their foreign policy is not some kind of glass bead game, they need it exactly like that. they need to extract rent from the world, so that others work, get rich and

take part of this wealth for themselves, what our president called hegemonic rent, you can call it whatever you like, a colonial, neocolonial system. they need to feed on the juices of the world economy and the juices of world growth, so every chinese peasant, russian peasant, worker somewhere, everyone works, and part of this flows over, so there overseas, secondly, they can’t do it all themselves, not to control it like zeus, yes, from the position of zeus by force, nor from the position of prometheus, it means to inspire everyone with something. and lead to a bright future, they are trying both options, at the end of the 20th, at the beginning of the 21st century, they can’t be either zeus or prometheus , but they can’t do it themselves, and we see that they need to combine this, on the one hand, it can’t, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to extract rent, on the other hand, they can’t do without it,

inflation will soar in america, prices will rise, like there are only problems with this hegomanic rent, they need to combine it. they are not ready to give up the hegomanic rent, but they are ready to look for options on how to extract it in this way, so that it will be possible in the future, for now their main thought is about the fact that they need to act more with other people's hands, wens' criticism can go into this, that they invested too much there, they invested there, let the europeans pay themselves, let the japanese pay more, the australians, everyone else chip in, that is, for now...

his approach is so gangster-like. states, here as an illustration of this

consensus and again an illustration of the fact that it is unlikely that either the character or even the direction of american foreign policy will somehow qualitatively change, here... a bipartisan commission exists in the united states under congress, it is called the commission on national defense strategy, it recently published a report which says that it is necessary to adapt to simultaneous confrontation in three directions, and simultaneously wage wars in several theaters of military operations. let's hear it. the threats facing the united states are the most serious and complex the country has faced since 1945 and include the possibility of a major war in the near future. the commission found that china is ahead of the united states in many ways, and two decades of focused military investment have largely eroded u.s. military advantages in the western

pacific. without significant changes by the united states, the balance of power will continue to shift in china's favor. russia has significant strategic... space and cyber capabilities and , under vladimir putin, is seeking to return to its cold war-era role as a global leader. the borderless partnership between china and russia has only deepened and expanded to include military and economic partnerships with iran and north korea, both of which pose significant threats to u.s. interests. this new alliance of countries opposing the united states is waging a to a real risk, if not a high probability, that a conflict anywhere in the world could escalate into a war. with multiple theaters of military operations or even a global war. here's what i want to say here: first, this unification of three countries is something that the united states created with its own hands. and so instead of... somehow changing its own policy, adapting to a multipolar world, starting to torture, trying to build normal

relations with other great powers, the conclusion of this commission is the opposite. that means, i quote: we propose to create a structure of armed forces capable of operating in several theaters of military operations, meaning asia, europe and the middle east simultaneously, and for this, of course, it is necessary to qualitatively increase defense spending and at... so, when the united states considers a situation where it is possible, maybe there will be three such theaters of military operations, it is

difficult to imagine, because if they failed in one, well, two more, and what will this solve, firstly, secondly, and here everything the situation is more or less localized, if it spreads, if we talk about china, it will be much broader, and the situation will be completely different. thirdly, military spending is rising, but the number of the american army is not increasing, it was about 1,400, so it remains, what does this mean, that if this money increases, what will it be spent on, on sawing, people will divide it among themselves, and something will go to the military-industrial complex, they will create new systems, for this they will take a huge amount of money, the generals will raise their salaries. yes, even let the sergeants, there, that is, the colonels, there, the military personnel, raise their salaries, but

what specifically is the increase of these, if now they have the most powerful military budget, and it cannot help them, what can they increase it by two times, by three times, what can they change, well, you know, apparently they, the authors of this report have not read the fairy tale of alexander sergeevich pushkin about the fisherman and the fish. because, because they are already flowing colossal money into the american military-industrial complex because of the conflict in ukraine, because of the confrontation with china, not enough, not enough, not enough, we need more, more, more, i want to be the mistress of the sea, but we all remember how it ended for the old woman, here it is, i think, there is something to think about for the united states, a little advertising, then we will continue. in our studio, music from favorite films is playing again, when she sang the first take, the souls of the musicians trembled, she

says: we need to rewrite it again, we need another take, the director fell to his knees and said: "please, just don't, a wonderful comedy, wedding in malinovka, all the music, it was written by boris alexandrovich alexandrov, the son of alexander vasiliovich, who directed the red banner for more than 40 years, by the way, this work is superbly done, also a film by a newcomer."

my god, these are children, something terrible is happening, but i don't understand what yet. you can't forbid me to feel sorry for them, i'll have to, we'll forbid you to breathe, i bought you a passport alexander vertides. greek, you are our poet, you are an artist, you need to be protected, sleep it off,

boor, in banana lemon. they don't understand russian, your talent is immediately visible, vertinsky, on sunday on the first. volleyball, as you haven't seen it yet? channel one cup, live broadcasts from

august 17 and 18 on the first. in the new season on the first , come on, can i ask you, it's time to tie up with this choir, he's a soloist, finally, daddy, daddy, hi, why haven't you come for so long, to the children, i remembered, i met a woman. happened, that i love her, i've loved her for a long time, since school, your hair on the back of your head is wet from the heart, there's lipstick on your collar, mine for everyone, the perfect couple, i don't want to be a thief, you know, yes, but it seems to me that you yourself, yes , my profile wife left me for another, why

don't you go after her, don't fight, don't bring her back. there's a big game on the air, for almost a week now the entire middle east region and the whole world, in fact, have been waiting for a retaliatory strike from iran and hezbollah against israel in response to the murder in tehran of ismail haniyeh, the former head of the hamas police council and the murder of one of the hezbollah military commanders directly in beirut. and it must be said that initially the western media wrote that this strike

was supposed to take place on monday, nothing happened, then they started writing on... thursday on friday, today is thursday, yes, tomorrow is friday, then an american political publication wrote that iran could, in principle , reconsider its decision and not take, at least, large-scale actions against israel, and the washington post and washington post columnist david ignesh reported that secret negotiations took place between the united states and iran, that is, in new york at the iranian mission to the un, at the embassy switzerland.

the statements we heard from tehran, given the situation itself, and also given that the americans have now told everyone that they were holding secret talks with the iranians , convincing them that if iran does not respond now, it will turn out that it has caved in under this american pressure, so how do you think the situation will develop, how will iran act? well, first of all, i would not say that iran has caved in, in order to bend iran, you have to try very hard, after all, it is more likely that iran can bend someone. will want, but i think that iran in this case is behaving very wisely, firstly, it is behaving like a country that, by and large, does not want regional escalation, because we forget that this is a large region, that it is not only iran and israel, there is also saudi arabia, the united arab emirates, all the small gulf countries, egypt, and they need this escalation, they need a big

conflict, of course not, because this is a blow to... iran cannot fail to respond either, of course, you are absolutely right, but how will it do this, that's i would wait and see, because i am still skeptical about the idea that

there will really be a big raid, another one , well, there was one already, why another, well, but if you look at the experience of past incidents of this kind, iran has always found a way to respond more or less symmetrically, say, they killed a nuclear physicist. the iranians identified a person connected with israel, destroyed his residence, tit for tat, you could say so, so i would not rush, although iran should give him the position, now it is demonstrating its readiness in every possible way, that please, we will strike at any moment, so far it looks like iran is showing that we can strike, training, everything, putting on combat alert, but at the same time iran.

i agree with you, iran is not interested in a big war, iran is not interested in escalation, but there is a regional player who is interested in escalation, this is the current example of israel benjamin netanyahu, he needs escalation in order to somehow

cover up the failure in gaza, he needs escalation for his political survival, in order to, so that his government can survive, so that he won't be put in jail, and he needs escalation to help donald trump win the presidential election in the united states, the current american administration is also not interested in escalation, but it will be forced to support israel, despite public sentiment, if there is a big war, will the united states be able to walk this razor's edge on the one hand, to take the side of israel, on the other hand, still not allow a big war, and they can, but they will have to crawl and get badly hurt, and the americans don’t like it, so they want to do everything with someone else’s hands, and they themselves will remain in such... white white clothes, the americans have made a lot of mistakes, the americans have neglected a lot in their policy, with their previous wrong actions, so it is very difficult to correct the situation, and

they are at best ready to turn the page, and not work on the mistakes. from my point of view, a very important point is that everyone is concerned not what iran will do, because when everyone talks about escalation. escalation, everyone is concerned about what israel will do next, well, from my point of view, now it makes sense to spend diplomatic efforts to prepare the situation for what will happen after iranian retaliatory actions, then prepared, and not spontaneous diplomatic efforts will be needed in order to really restrain israel from crazy escalatory actions, that's when well, that's what needs to be prepared for, not iran, then iran say that wipe your mouth and do nothing, but really after the implementation of the legal

right to self-defense, to prevent a major war that could provoke israel, and what is interesting is, if you look at the complex of what is happening now and what happened in april, when... the exchange of blows, we see very clearly, israel is not capable of defending itself, not in military terms, in april it was defended, all together, including some arab countries.

american marines and even then when they wanted to send the marines where is this they wanted to send her on the condition that she would guard infrastructure facilities, even though, when the conflict in gaza was at its height, the americans would not do this. everyone understands perfectly well, as was correctly said, iran and israel do not have a common border, this is one thing, and this already creates a stalemate, secondly, israel, on the one hand, is a very well-fortified state in its own terms, which has a wonderful ally, the united states, well, a wonderful ally in the sense that it can provide ammunition, but iran, the territory is mountainous, everything there is fortified,

that's when we talk about what and what can happen, if the united states announces that we have brought everyone to an agreement, then hezbollah will do so that any agreement will be destroyed, and israel will not be able to do anything about it.

i completely agree, today is also a very significant date: exactly 50 years have passed since richard nixon announced his resignation as part of the so-called ogoy scandal, the second to seventy-fourth year this scandal developed, and the formal reason for nixon's resignation there was a lie, a lie that was revealed, because initially nixon categorically denied his involvement in the installation of wiretaps at headquarters. to establish, only by leaking audio recordings, conversations of president nixon personally in the avalanche office, that he was obstructing the investigation, well, actually, he was talking about how to obstruct this investigation. only this made

the prospect of impeachment inevitable and without waiting for the senate vote, nixon was forced to resign, gerald ford, who came after him, the former vice president, immediately pardoned him, nixon himself said a very sacramental phrase, which, it seems to me, conveys the essence of the american political process, this phrase: i did not lie, i said things that later turned out to be untrue. andrei andreevich, well, it really seems to me. well , you can’t say it better about what is happening in the united states, president putin, in fact, gave this definition an empire of lies, but it seems to me that in those 50 years that have passed since watergate, and lies somehow increased, and there is much less responsibility for lies, what do you think? i think you are right, there seems to be as little responsibility in the american political class now as there is a lot of public media coverage of any turn of events. sometimes

even completely secondary american domestic political stories. the media coverage of the political process has essentially come to dominate the content of this political process. if 50 years ago the inner spring of party life, political life in the usa, the concept of honor, of dignity, sometimes some righteous anger at the fact that the current president is trying to prevent the opposition from realizing its plans for an electoral victory. the electoral process in the united states, in the opinion of at least nixon's contemporaries, was almost a sacred thing, and it did not lead to his impeachment, now we see what kind of vokhonaliya...

we discuss this phenomenon in detail, because american political life, unfortunately, spills over into the rest of the world, and the united states is so absorbed in itself that it does not fully understand how this shake-up, it affects sometimes affects catastrophically, on countries like ukraine, which simply becomes an instrument of a completely secondary figure, which can be sacrificed about the american government in afghanistan, which was also very easily forgotten, the page was turned. this is connected with this , in general, this growing fatigue, the growing tension of the world majority from the position that the united states now occupies in the world. nixon was held responsible for his lies, he was forced to resign, according to at least, well of course, no one put him in prison, but nevertheless, did

bush jr. bear responsibility for his lies, which became a pretext for the possibility of destroying an entire country, i mean iraq and many, many other things, and even then... under nixon, his lies seemed so monstrous that even his fellow party members in the senate were ready to vote for his impeachment, now this situation seems simply unimaginable, that is, there really are more lies. it was a big game, all the best, goodbye. the power of memory is great, there is something terrifying in the diversity of its countless depths,

as aurelius augustine wrote in his famous confession. hello, today we have gathered our thoughts about memory, about.
