a fundamental shift in deterrence and defense. but will this new concept work and we make nato countries safer? this is inside story. ah, hello, welcome to the program and hash m abala. russia is the most direct and significant threat to peace and security in the western world. thus, nature's latest security assessment of moscow. it was disclosed during a crucial summit in madrid. the alliances members endorsed a more aggressive stance than the last time they agreed on strategy in 2010 more troops, more funding and more support for each other. russia accused nato of acting with imperial ambitions and using ukraine to assert its power. nater says it's facing

him more dangerous and competitive weld as it presented his strategy or the summit . the alliance promised more troops in europe and declared an unshakable, long term commitment to ukraine. as part of that president joe biden announced a permanent u. s. army base in poland and additional land and sea deployments across europe. the u. s. will also send to more f 35 fighter jets squadrons to the u. k. sweden and finland were invited to join nato during the summit, marking historic shift in european security and nater sad. it continues to view its nuclear arsenal as a deterrent only while rear to rating its commitment to the non proliferation treaty. for the 1st time, nato leaders, vice concern about the threat they see china posing in the future. so i and i

is so substantially building up its military forces including nuclear weapons, bullying its neighbors, and threatening taiwan. investing heavily in critical infrastructure, including in allied countries, monitoring and controlling it, some own citizens through advanced technology, and spreading russian lawyers and this information. china is not our adversary, but we must be clear eyed about the serious challenges. it represents. russian president vladimir putin says he is not opposed to felons and swayed and joining nato. but he warned moscow would respond to enter deployments in countries that could pose a threat. i still got that for sure thing. even fernand, there's nothing that might concern us in terms of finland and sweden becoming nato

members. if they want to please go ahead. but they should clearly understand that they didn't face any threats before this. now, if nato troops and infrastructure are deployed, we will be compelled to respond and kind and create the same threats to the territory that is now creating threats for us. so it's obvious what they don't understand that everything was going fine between us, which it is, but now there will be tensions. this is obvious and inevitable when i repeat, if they pose a threat to us, ah, let's bring in our guess in moscow blur dimmer sought nick of director at russia east west center for strategic studies and analysis in brussels. theresa fallon is director of the center for russia, europe, asia studies and in hong kong. under along is china as analysts and chairman of under long international consultants. welcome to the program. vladimir,

the new strategic concept embraced by nature that it reinforced the sentiment among the russians. that nato remains an existential threat for their country. just by all means actually, and that was not in the moscow choice because nater actually is not like it was in 2010 when there was a summit of nathan countries. and then at that time, russia was named as a partner. so of that, the, the, the, a present a summit that my breed to somehow could be called historic. because for my mind, this is an evident toryn to the new cold war. and in these, called the war. actually, the west and the nato countries are the direct and the imminent threat to russia. security, theresa, you get a sense in the new blueprint that the nato, that nato is pretty much concerned. not only about russia,

but also about the potential of a chinese military corporation with russia in the near future. and this explains why they are adding china as a security challenge for the alliance. yes, the language is systemic challenge and i think there is a lot of negotiation among the members and exactly what type of language to use. some european countries have big investments in china and they don't want to see china and russia in the same basket. but i would say that what really cleansed it for many people are countries in central and eastern europe, especially was the february 4th documents signed in beijing in the run up to the olympics, where president putin and she can ping signed an agreement to say are a statement with many points for one of the key points was that they both were joined together to push back on nato. so i think that the sent a red flag to many countries. and we've seen a lot of cooperation with russia and china to those who have been paying attention . it's been taking place for quite a long time. there have been 3 recent documents in the last few years that they

signed together. plus we've seen russia, china nagle operations or exercises in the mediterranean, in the baltics, so they've been cooperating and sending signals to your own. okay, andrew, i'm in the, the, the alliance has been saying unequivocally that the consider shiners global ambitions as a threat to the international liberal architecture. how is this reverberating across china? well, this is of course nothing new as far as the united states and $360.00 degree combinations with china because we sold starting with the trade. ready wall of the truck and then intensified, visited biter technology war on a c. and so. ready but then at the back. ready it all in fact the media p a

competitor there. ready was a country with pier give abilities in all makes and. ringback in the military, in politics it's not russia is in fact china and they think a. ready lot of things and the biting. ready decision, so united states rather than get there the war or to play over with all their times and then concentrate all they have to come from china because as long as it's essentially strict. ready ready american benjamin from song. ready this i'm trying to see a spirit of it, which can yet create a company for the united states before even united states, their time to muscle response. and of course, china's connectivity going to string. it is

a $130.00 countries along the largest trading compared with all the for the 7. ready $96.00 and then g 7 the united states and lead coalition is introducing this g $70.00, g 7, infrastructure project. and it's starting at a bit to mid to late. all right. but the met, the war in ukraine has changed dynamics in the region to the point where we're talking now about a jew political realignments. president biden is saying that the u. s. is going to have permanent u. s. army base in poland. i assume this would be a nightmare scenario for russia. well, actually i would like to say that this would be, this wouldn't be it to my mind at my best knowledge. sure. are the nightmare

scenario bukasa. yes, you're right. or hush that the dynamics has changed. but that because deceased for a conflict, this is a military conflict actually basically, and the ground realities are not just like in the military books, in general academy of our military services. so i think that russia is ready for that. and what is more important actually that or whatever the outcome of this or ukrainian, or russia ukrainian conflict could be, i think, i'm, i'm, i'm not, i'm not sure at that in these cold war which is going right after the summit and which is going, ah, and then, which will be prolonged after the finishing of their russia, ukrainian, and conflict that are in this and you realities in this new cold war. i'm not sure that the west will be the victoria sight more just like her in a poor soviet union when they got about shot, declared his perestroika. all right,

her teresa, if sweden and finland joined ne to then the, the alliance will have a 1300 kilometers a border with a russia this could, in itself, be the beginning of a near of a seismic geopolitical shift. there would see a rush, i grappling with the presence of western troops just on the border across the door . let me just pick up 1st and the previous point of my colleague stated that this is a new cold war. we must remember that russia invaded ukraine and it was an unprovoked war, and it's ongoing war. and this has been going on since 2014. so i think today it with president biden's speech at the end of the nato summit. he, he stated that last year when he met with president putin, he warned him that if he invaded ukraine, that he would see a united west and an even bigger and stronger nato. so that's exactly wouldn't

putin has gotten. and when you mentioned thou about sweden and finland, we've seen a reversal of 2 over 2 centuries worth of neutrality from sweden. they have calculated that the situation is so dire that they need to join nato. finland, as you pointed out, has a long border with russia, so they have carefully calculated and they have decided that it is far better to be with nato than to end up like ukraine and be invaded and have the country bombed into rumbles. so i think that ross's actions have actually created exactly what president putin didn't want. he's got a stronger nato. he's got 32 countries al, rather than very that somehow you must explain to his domestic audience that the special military operation has created all of this blowback on russia. in addition, sanctions are biting in russia. their economy is hurting, and europeans will never be as dependent as they are to day on russian energy. they will, it will take some time. but over the next 2 years,

they will have to further diversify and they will no longer be as reliant on russian energy. so this will also hurt russia in the longer term. and finally, china can just sit back and watch a reduced and we can draw. so this will help them very much, or they have, had had some difficult times in their past history with russia. so tony doesn't have to do a thing. and in many respects some alice have said, maybe she jumping, encourage russell to start this war in ukraine. and so china is actually the biggest beneficiary here, and it's carefully trying to convince everyone that it's not really supporting rasa . but as we noted earlier, these agreements has shown this by china, maybe one of the biggest benefactors or beneficiaries when it comes to what happens in the future in the arctic. this is a key area in russia will be diminished and weakened, and china will drive a hard bargain with russia and may have more ability to navigate through the arctic . andrew, as you know, historically speaking for the americans, the,

the 1st step to do if you want to counter chinese expansion is to go into the sphere of influence of china itself and stop in there. and don't you see the invitation of australia, south korea, japan, and use it into the alliance summit as a message that the focus is going to be now on the in the pacific region. well, those, the talk was off the, the so called port with india. and then comes the idea of forming g. busy 12 of the boxes including even sell career and to contain china. now i think that the one has called distinguish between rhetoric or the narrative and the reality response on. ready is concern there was an initial what's the. ready

generation then we see by them as seen rubbing their hands in greed as the, as the washer initial kind of withdrawal and failure to achieve any progress. but now the situation. ready is beginning at the yankees begin to sink in after russia has concentrated on to bass and making steady. ready gates and then there is a peak setting in, in the west of energy prices. the prices increases shouldn't. or you've been recession hitting the most of the companies in europe, but also back home in a space affecting best buy the mid term chances. so in spite of all the rhetoric you can see that. ready has a lot of denial but there is no doubt that there was a game changer. ready as far natal sunset,

but unfortunately one that was bought by soldiers emphasis on the ground. i mean, you have high on the weapons. this side was bad and was russia is each countries the largest, the largest law, the largest territory? well ahead of us, the 2nd largest lead wall is canada united. ready comes the company in the world in history has ever called washer. i mean don't even. ready denazi's and both. ready the virginia. what would be the next step for russia? do you see them teaming up with the chinese, along with other countries to build some sort of a counter alliance to cope with the growing expansion of nato eastwards? ah, well this is a good question. actually. i was thinking it to myself on my point,

is that my personal, ah, an impression that this is the moment, the crucial moment for russian foreign policy, when all the relationship between russia and later countries. and the more general it is when russia and the wester probably has deteriorated for years to come at play sta, the in you strategic concept offer nate the summit in madrid to says about the year of 2013, or at least 2030 so a rush actually is a, are doing a lot of effort to combine a combined strength for with its partners and allies like like china, bukosa, china, as my colleague from hong kong said that there was a, there were a lot of documents which were adopted to jointly, by china and russia though i do not agree with your that the

most bene, beneficiary site was trina and that them chinese leda. she's you being probably urged her religion approaching the start the of the special minutes operation. i do not agree with this completely. so and another in the assault wind direction on this sir, and you rapidly immersion. ah, she sta, organization which while has been already existed, but now it is more frank and the cast spend the cast been grouping. and also the s. c o, the shanghai corporation organization because it combines china, india, iran, actually with a population of more than 40 percent on the wall. so this is, this is good allies of russia and russia will be communicating with them and will be counting on their support and will be strengthened in these a groupings. okay, ter, theresa the, the, the alliance nato itself has been very cautious about the need to move forward

towards all the region. thus russia from romania all the way to the baltic states because they were pretty much concerned about wriggling and incident there would unleash a massive military confrontation with russia. but do you think the, with the invasion of ukraine thou was the red line that was drawn by the alliance. the moment it was crossed, there was no point of return. i think no one wants to see a nato russia war with the fact that there has been penetration of swedish air space by russian plains. there has been some russian drones going into polish aerospace, you know, everyone has played this down in order not to increase threat level. but i think that what we've seen now with the newt nato security concept that this is a huge concern. and that the only way now forward is better defense, not just it turns, but defense. and i think that this has really demonstrated that russia is

a deep concern. that hard power is something that you know, everyone just that we can negotiate with them become more energy dependent on russia. have this kind of interdependence. i think all of this strategy, i mean, the germans called it bundled to handle or there was political. it was really my really focused on relations with russia, and that has proven to be put on the ash heap of history. so i think that this idea that if were nice to russia then put in will be nice us everything will work out well. well, that's been pretty much learned that that was a huge mistake. so i think that the big question now is when is the way forward? what kind of piece? exactly. i don't hear what we've been talking about that's i think that's one of the key aspects. but also looking at the bigger geopolitical picture, no one can ignore that. china will become or is it something everyone needs to keep their eye on? and this means for the europeans. it's not just burden sharing its burden. shifting

the u. s. needs europeans to spend more on their own defense. so the us can focus more on the inter pacific. and this is something that europeans will find difficult because we are in an inflationary period. but security should always trump politics and economics so that i think that's the key. i see your point. i have few other issues to discuss with you if you don't mind or andrew. i will likely to see more action as far as this south and east china seas are concerned. well i think that you can see that the united states is now writing high, at least authentically on, on the kind of ability to rally in under his leadership. i mean, this has never happened before the truck and later at the time was almost more. but now they do has been re energize riding high on that is trying to pull a global alliance of democracies against china. so there is talk about

the detroit and 12 of the want to see that there was also there's a pacific for structure initiative. but then you can see that the china and russia are starting to push back a. ready to the reason a brit, somebody with brazil and india and. busy south africa trying to expand the brakes broke with an argentine and also you ran some addition to what's a high correlation organization, the various partners. so i did it, we can see a growing divide between the west and developed countries and well as the end of the 1111 point is that the, the but i think well,

according to the whole you see is going to occur. busy or 60 percent of the world's economy, and 30. so you can see that the balance is shipped when a demand in very few words. if you don't mind, do you see a potential for reconciliation between 2 and russia? ah, you know, yes, yes, despite the all the horrible situation actually which is now has come to exist between nature and russia. i think there are some crew show, boy and soft mutual interest, which to my mind should be present in any future relations between russia and major countries. all right, this is international terrorism, and this is non proliferation of nuclear weapons. theresa is the, is nato and europe in particular, ready for scaling up military force, and we know what comes along with this, which is basically great defense expenditure. well, i think,

as a micron said, just a couple years ago that it was brain dead. so i think that nato has come back and that when each member states join data, it means that they're not really voting for you. strategic autonomy that they prefer to be and they don't. so i think that yes, this is going to cost money and it's going to have to be prioritized, but it's there. germany has pledged 100000000 to strengthen their own military. so the $989.00 peace dividend is clearly finished and countries will happen in europe, especially how to spend on their own defense. we'll have to leave it that teresa alone, andrew, long and bloody emma. so think of, i really appreciate you and i thank you and thank you to for watching, you can see the program again any time by visiting our website, al jazeera dot com for further discussion. go to our facebook page. that's facebook dot com, forward slash ha. inside so you can also turn the conversation on twitter. our 100 is at a jane size 40 for me, how to model the entire team here into like one ah,
