also wants to protect the honor of the family, right? you betrayed your president, i thought the minister of defense was a better shooter. he is not guilty, he is not guilty, punish me, you heard your nephew, he himself asks to be punished, you betrayed the family.

you killed him, dad, dad, dad, poor general, to be honest, i even feel sorry for him, he did not have enough self-control, you should not deal with such people. especially

government ones. so, what do we have? the iraqi leadership provided us with documentation of military programs and assures that all developments of weapons of mass destruction stopped, but at the same time un inspectors are still not allowed into strategic facilities. either the iraqis have something to hide, or they just don’t want to embarrass themselves. i think there’s no point in waiting for saddam to restore his arsenal and for a catastrophe to break out, it must be prevented. you want to find something that doesn’t exist yet. i want to find something that we can’t find yet. there’s a big difference.

there’s a big game going on in the air, a lot of interesting important events are happening in the world, but i think, undoubtedly, the most relevant for us today is what is happening in the kursk region, in other adjacent regions that have been subjected to, i do not know.

but for now, fortunately, conclusions have not yet been made, i say fortunately, because hasty conclusions are not conclusions, but nevertheless , we do not make conclusions, at least at the decision-making level, but to understand at least some basic things, some opportunities is still very important, help us, general, to understand what you think ukraine is trying to achieve. you know, these are the goals that were voiced, well, mainly in western press in the ukrainian press, there are actually not many of them, there, ideally, is to seize the kursk nuclear power plant, ideally to seize and control the maximum amount of territory of the russian federation in the kursk region. then

stir up public opinion in the russian federation, sow, but if not panic, then in any case such, let's say, anxious expectations. invest, you can, so to speak, send equipment, because i must tell you that here are the last tranches that the americans they allocate, and i haven't heard much about european ones lately, with the exception of some one- off deliveries from germany and individual european countries, these are basically

consumables, these are shells, these are missiles, for air defense systems, for hymers. but uh systems, well , tanks, artillery systems, uh, i haven't heard that they were supplied, what does this indicate, that the westerners were in the mood to sit on the defensive, and uh, so to speak, great perhaps, don't let the russians seize new territories, and here zelensky, it seems, is implementing offensive military actions. so, returning to your question, i think that the first two goals are the capture of the kursk nuclear power plant, it is simply unattainable, because after all it is 80 km, so far the maximum they have managed is that our ministry of defense has published the figures, to advance

15 km deep into our territory along the front of 30 km, this was necessary, so to speak, 80 km is enough. to pass along the front, to take control of these territories, populated areas, to organize a system of rear support, supplies, replenishment, that is this, of course, does not require the forces of four brigades, numbering, there, a maximum of 10,000 people, the second goal is to capture the maximum territory, but again, well, what does it mean to capture, to capture it is of course possible to break into a village or force it there, taking into account the fact that as such, as far as i understand, we did not have troops to cover this section of the border, but there were border guards, the russian national guard, that is, the minimum number of forces that ensures the protection of the border in

peacetime, in peacetime, only these last two tasks remain, that is, this...

our ministry of defense said that there are reserves, now, when i look at the columns of equipment that are coming, the list of units that, so to speak, are being transferred not from the donbass front, but from the central regions of russia, after all, this task has not been solved by the ukrainians either, in general, let's say...

so that some kind of crisis remains unused, so i think that the situation that ukraine has created for us, that it is in our favor... if we draw the right conclusions and not just draw them, but act on them. the first question for me the most basic, we have discussed it many times at this table, with whom are we fighting? let's listen to what president putin said about this today. it is becoming obvious that now it is clear that why did the kiev regime? refuse our proposals to return to a peaceful

settlement plan, as well as to proposals from interested and neutral mediators. apparently, the enemy with the help of its western masters, and it carries out their will and with the hands of the ukrainians, the west is fighting us, so, apparently, pro... or they are trying to create threats to nuclear power facilities, what can we even talk about with them, well, on the same topic you...

russia and the collective west. it is caused by the desire of the united states of america and its allies to maintain their dominance, to prevent the construction of a new, multipolar and equal world order. this confrontation affects the interests of each state. why does it seem to me that this is central? because your strategy probably depends on who you are fighting with, your tactics depend on who you are fighting with. if you are fighting with ukraine, which is supported by the west, then it is quite logical that the main focus, even the exclusive focus can be on a special military operation, and to win.

quickly, that is why i ask you, should we think about how to interfere with this logistics, how to cut ukraine off from it if possible, or at least significantly reduce it. well, dmitry, here, the answer to this question is obvious, we have discussed it with you many times, i cannot answer, so to speak, why our...

across the dnieper, two tunnels, this tourism political, well i would have stopped long ago, there are only five train stations in kiev, well, you bomb them to smithereens and prague, so that not a single train arrives there, and they in response to the train station in moscow more than once, and they, you understand, they have train stations in moscow, they can only use aviation, and not f16 aviation, this requires more serious means, this is necessary so that it is no longer the ukrainians who enter the battle, this is necessary so that the americans enter the battle, therefore in this case it is still ours, our resources in terms of, let's say, in terms of shells, in terms of missiles, we have increased the number of bombs over the last 2 years, aviation bombs, i read the statistics today by 55 times, so well then i say, you can turn there into

dust and vapor, a lot of things in ukraine, you know, it seems to me, i agree with everything you said, it seems to me, in general, the answer is obvious, why are they not yet ready to take any measures, precisely because they want to preserve normal life in most of the country as much as possible, because they do not want to go to a risky escalation, because they understand that actions equal counteraction, but i agree with you, general, that unfortunately,

what statement the chinese foreign ministry just made. china calls on all parties to adhere to the three principles of cooling the situation, that is, not to allow the conflict to spread beyond the combat zone and escalate the armed conflict, and not to provoke an increase in fire. that is, not to go beyond the combat zone. yes, not to take it outside, not to take it outside, but this is a very significant limitation, that is , this means that -

according to its traditional algorithm. firstly, they were in no hurry to express their official position. in the media, of course, in china they are built on a hierarchical principle, and more or less adhere to one line, but there is also the blagosphere, there are also different observers, quite a lot was written there, everything, as they say, was mainly in our favor, that is, the step taken by ukraine was questioned, and it was said that all this is for ukraine. it will end very badly and russia will only benefit as a result of this episode, but that was the case at first, now it has passed, look, three, even four days, if not five, five days, here is the chinese foreign ministry, and this is the highest authority in terms of expressing an official position, because anything higher, say, a statement by the minister of foreign affairs, is already some kind of exclusive, this happens very rarely, and so the chinese foreign ministry

came out with these very three principles, three, as they say, are unacceptable, it is unacceptable to transfer military actions outside, an escalation of the conflict is unacceptable, the third is that it is unacceptable to provoke an increase in fire, that's how, if you follow the text, in in principle, no one is named here, who is fighting with whom, who is transferring to the outside, who is escalating, who is provoking an increase in fire, but at the same time it is completely obvious about whom, to whom this is directed, and here , it seems to me, is the case, as... when this is addressed not only to ukraine and maybe not even primarily to ukraine, well , it seems obvious to me, but i have a question to which i have...

and, moreover, it does this from the very beginning, because since february of the twenty-second year in china it has been declared that it is completely obvious to us and

the historical roots of this conflict, and its political prerequisites, then they added to this the thesis about the threat to russia's security, so here it seems to me there should be no doubt, and how this will be expressed, well , in chinese, i asked you this question.

russia and i are very interested in the fact that yesterday an interesting letter from the main american supporters of unilateral escalation appeared in time magazine, who explained how they see these lessons of the ukrainian raid on kursk. let's listen. perhaps the most important consequence of the offensive is the return of confidence among the international partners who have stood by ukraine up to this point. until now, the free world has not wavered in its support for ukraine as it resists russian aggression and putin's drive to rebuild the russian

empire. zelensky's courageous actions over the past week have given the people of ukraine and the world new hope, just as washington came across the delover and the u.s. marines raised the flag over iwajima after a hard-fought victory. and look who signed. well, as for james clapper, the former director of national intelligence, how can i say, i have the misfortune of knowing him, he was

known in washington as a complete idiot, but we must give him his due, he is an idiot with a consistent russophobic position, yes, by the way, he was absolutely convinced that there was a conspiracy between. they say that now all restrictions must be lifted, all restrictions that the west still has on support, ukraine. and i have a question for you, academician naumkin, you know the east well, you you know international relations well. would it be important for russia to really use this situation in order to find an opportunity

to demonstrate to the collective west that such situations are extremely dangerous for it, to use this ukrainian adventure to show the collective west, in contrast to what biden, for example, tells it, that there is no danger of war, to demonstrate that this is a very, very dangerous game, they had better come to their senses sooner, it seems to me that such an opportunity exists and...

fell to them, perhaps they relaxed and thought that this bedouin raid, saboteurs, in the form of four brigades of dabeg - this is good, this ten-thousandth, that it can allegedly break the course of the war, that this is a rather senseless thing, there is no point in hoping for this, on the contrary, it can provoke russia to conduct more ...

to look for this axe, to strike at civilians and give a reason for it to be accused of violating the rules of humanitarian, humanitarian war and so on and so forth something like that, and it seems to me that the restraint that our supreme commander-in-chief is showing is worthy of respect , although perhaps some of our compatriots would like more decisive action, you know, regarding...

the point of view demonstrated himself as a great military leader during the great patriotic war, but before that he was constantly afraid that the soviet union was being provoked, so that the soviet union would not lose something, something very important, succumbing to provocation, and if your fear of provocation goes so far that paralyzes... your ability to take the necessary actions, then this is also probably not very wise, as a general, in general, well , so to speak, stalin's behavior in the period there from the thirty-ninth year, it was all, so to speak, his action aimed at not provoking germany, because after all, the soviet union needed

critical. needed time in order to complete the construction of fortified areas on the western border, to complete the rearmament of the army, there were many such tasks that, to unfortunately, we - by june of 1941 did not manage to fulfill it, but then, then - during the great patriotic war, stalin, of course, demonstrated his wisdom and vision. how to conduct military operations in order to achieve a decisive victory, this applies first of all to personnel policy, this is the return, so to speak, of a number of generals, the encouragement, so to speak, of the growth of young command staff, that is, everything was done correctly from my point of view, in general, we -

all of europe, including ours later, it was the defeat of europe, by the way, under napoleon, this is the third case when europe went against russia, russia had fewer resources in each of these cases, and russia in each of these cases by the way, this is even in this case in the ukrainian conflict, so far local, i hope that it will remain so, in general, many in europe, so to speak,

germany, in relation to militaristic japan were not afraid at all, went and hit them so hard that it seems to me, on the contrary, on the contrary, it prevented japan prevented the japanese militarists from attacking the soviet union, and that this kind of preventive, decisive response, this medicine against the enemy's unilateral escalation prevented. from unleashing a war against the soviet union in the far east, well, to a certain extent, yes, it warned, it certainly warned the japanese about the possible consequences, in general, in general, they simply did not dare to attack our country, thank god,

because of course, to fight on two fronts, but it is still unknown how these arrangements would have led to what in the end, but this is already history, this is 80 or more years ago, what happened, what happened, comparing this local in general... another very interesting parallel comes to mind, here to everything that was said, we must add the situation on the korean peninsula, there was a lot of tension with korea and at the time when the korean leadership of north korea was pushing

moscow to support their active actions, yes, to force peace and conquer south korea, iosif serionovich refused to do this. he categorically forbade his korean partners to start a military operation, and so it lasted for quite a long time until he changed his point of view under the influence of a number of factors, we are now studying a series of new documents declassified from the archives, only then stalin changed his point of view and gave the go-ahead to start such an operation, well, i don’t want to, i started to delve into history, i don’t want to go too much, but i’ll say one simple thing here, stalin, again, was a wise statesman, he didn’t do everything right, but he had common sense, and of course, when

north korea wanted to attack south korea, which was in an alliance with the united states, then i think stalin showed reasonable restraint, he, with all his power, knew how to keep his foot on the brake. the united states is their ally, they did a lot of bad things against the soviet union, but they did not hit russian cities, i am talking about the specific situation in which we found ourselves, and i am not trying to question the strategic restraint that russia showed before...

threatens them and their beloved selves, nothing more, nothing more less, the last one, i will repeat once again what i have already said more than once, i am for, i am against starting now, so to speak, we have, so to speak, people who believe that it is necessary to very harshly start almost bombing european cities, in no case, but i believe that it is necessary to restore order in the airspace over aquato. there, in the escort

of fighters, so i believe that at least one plane with a crew needs to be shot down, well, i think they will eject, so to speak, no one will die, but this will be, so to speak, the first call, second, if, well, for now i'm in the sixteenth i stick to my point of view that for now all this is of such a... demonstrative nature, somewhere they were seen, somewhere they fly, for now they are clearly based at western airfields, but if they start to carry out combat missions, to strike at the romanian air base, i believe that this will not lead to a furious escalation and the beginning, so to speak, of the third world war. the general would be as always very eloquent, it's too early for the third call, but the moment has come for the first. has come, yes, we're leaving for advertising, we'll be back

literally a few minutes later, i met a colleague in the lab, he just asked if it was true that you have a psychic serving, and it will reach the boss, oh, you know how he can do, look, now, tell me, when i saw you, i immediately felt that

this was an unusual meeting, such people should not be released in principle, if he does not return, he will arrange such a thing for us here, it will not seem like a little, what do you think, do you not have envious people or something, muslim, how can you not understand, when you arrive, you will be imprisoned, everything will be fine, i i just want to sing something that will touch your hearts, will remain in your memory for as long as possible, for muslim magamaev's birthday, the weekend is on the first, but in addition to the role of troubatur, i would also like to try out for the role of a detective and otamanshe. there is a big game on the air. vitaly vyacheslavovich for many months. i asked you approximately the same questions, asked: is there

light at the end of the tunnel, is there anything encouraging in this conflict around gaza, but today i want, unfortunately, i probably don't want to, i am obliged to ask you another question: are we heading towards a major military crisis in this region? you know, it seems to me that we still haven't reached that point, when this big or major war in the middle east could break out, there is such a danger, it hasn't been removed.

to attract the arabs and not antagonize them, this pressure, especially egypt and qatar, the other two other partners who stand behind all kinds of negotiating paradigms, settlements, they somehow forced, in words , at least netanyahu, i won't say

about his partners, partners in the israeli government, even more to the right, although there is nowhere else to go, to generally make some... small concessions and accept at least the idea of ​​negotiations, the idea of ​​negotiations , a return to negotiations on the fate of the detained israelis, as well as palestinian prisoners, as if they are some kind of, as you say, light at the end of the tunnel, but in fact all this still comes down more to rhetoric and it is unclear whether this can happen or not, what is iran's position? iran's position is still restraint, it seems to me that iran has already shown that if there is a ceasefire agreement, iran will refuse to retaliate, this is a very serious shift, it simultaneously causes, so it corresponds with

the point of view that the new leader of hamaswar, a military man, takes or expresses today. hamas, they destroyed the political one, the well -known ismail haniyeh, but senwar shows, in general, i would say, a fairly reasonable position, a restrained position with regard to the negotiation process, but nevertheless less israel categorically denies the right to life to this man and says that this is the goal, their number one goal, the destruction of sinwar is considered almost... as a national priority, so under the noise, when there is this talk about some kind of progress, now i will say a few words about the plan of the united arab emirates, nevertheless, at this very time israel again inflicts brutal blows on civilian infrastructure in gaza, in particular this blow on the school, allegedly under

the pretext of the alleged presence of some kind of militants, 100 people were killed, approximately, approximately and...

a very serious strain of forces for this person, and of course there is a fight going on there, he probably did not come on a formal visit, i think he came, no, he came with business proposals, including, i think that our diplomats, our leadership and the supreme commander also have something to say to the palestinians, there is a lot of debate now about who will govern the ghazai and what kind of government this will be, now and... conservative arab regimes, which we would like it to be another, so to speak, version of the settlement, so that it would be

a government of technocrats and tribal clan leaders, and headed by salem salam fayyad, supported by international forces, including the palestinians' western partners, while there are other options, including the reoccupation of gaza. it is difficult to say on this front, i think that this visit will be able to largely dot the i's. thank you, i want to ask you, andrei ivanovich, how does china feel about the new russian agreements about military cooperation, russian agreements with iran from north korea,

well, you know, i wouldn’t say that china actively and verbosely comments on these things, it treats them calmly, why? because with iran, and especially with north korea, china has its own established connections, its own lines.

that all this is an attempt to create a ring of isolation for china or not completely? you know, beijing has long since had no illusions, beijing

understands perfectly well that any movements of the americans, especially these people, about whom you said, especially this administration, especially at this point in time, when they basically don't have much left and there's not much choice, uh, of these or those actions, that all of them are directed one way or another against. china, you know, literally carthage must be destroyed there, all the activity of the americans in the region, it's all negative for china, it's completely obvious, that's how they perceive it there, is there some kind of preference in beijing between harris and trump, i don't think so, i don't think so, in general it can't exist, they've already been burned on all sorts of these, when trump left and biden came, in beijing, in general... they had certain hopes that if not like under grandma, then at least all this would return to the format of those american-chinese

disputes that were under clinton, well, to a certain extent under obama, that is , trade and political regulation, various kinds of intellectual property rights, government procurement, industrial subsidies, that is, such trade disputes, but everything turned out to be much worse, so now china, of course, in addition to everything, ready for anything, and it seems to me...

i'll ask you about this first, evgeny petrovich, we're going to commercial. by the way, how is agent chesler? paul is in moscow now, with his informant. to defeat the enemy, you need to get to know him better. think like him. be careful. see you tonight. until the evening. i'm sure the cia is planning some kind of operation in iraq.

trader tomorrow after the program time, oleg, forgive me, please, i didn't mean to, you 're playing a very dangerous game, wait. volleyball, as you've never seen it before? the cup channel one, live broadcasts on weekends

on channel one. just recently, after biden's failure in the debates with trump, after the assassination attempt on trump, after trump during this assassination attempt raised his hand like this and shouted, we will fight. in general, everyone thought, i thought, that the electoral dynamics were clearly on trump's side, everything has changed radically, biden's arms were twisted, here i agree with trump when he says, it was a coup d'etat, we hear more and more that biden was simply told, that's it, you

you're leaving, there are only two options: you leave on good terms, and we'll let you serve out your term, and we'll treat you with great honor, i disagree, article twenty-five of the american constitution, you're incompetent , the vice president is usually supposed to preside over this process, the vice president, she'll be the main beneficiary of your removal, so you can't count on her, take your pick.

well, the democrats have a surge of energy, a sigh of relief, the prosecutor's wife is generally cheerful, in these so-called disputed states, in states where there will be a real fight, where not everything is yet determined, in these states she leads harris in a race with trump, and in each of them she leads by only 4%. this is not very much. this is close to the size of the error, but this is a completely different dynamic than it was just a few weeks ago, and i do not know if anyone at this table has an opinion on how this will develop further, i do not have such confidence, and we have already seen how the situation can change, and before the elections

there is still generally ... in general for russia this is of great importance.

and i must tell you that the powers and, so to speak, the extent of powers, the scope of powers of the american president to make key decisions, he surpasses even our supreme commander-in-chief, as far as nuclear weapons are concerned, he can, so to speak, do whatever he wants, he can, of course, theoretically be stopped, but the law allows him to make completely unilateral decisions. i have no illusions about trump, although someone thinks that he will now regulate the conflict in ukraine, but we have already been through it for 4

years, everything, so to speak, sanctions, all the unfriendly acts, yes, his rhetoric is like that, i get along with putin, i know him very well, we are almost friends, but all this is not so, the same thing, well, and harris... on confrontation with russia, he is certain, as under his grandmother it will never happen again, there may be some improvement, perhaps, but it will be

very insignificant, very minimal, we entered, and i believe that now the situation in bilateral relations is much worse than it was in the seventies, the eighties, there at, as we say, at the peak of the cold war. it is more reminiscent of, you know, more like the middle, there the end of the fifties, when the americans had all these plans, there the unthinkable, there the bombing of the soviet union and so on, that is , i do not expect anything good from either the republicans or the democrats, we need to prepare for a very tough confrontation with the united states, well and accordingly with the...
