8:04 pm
the referendum on self determination helped the nation tried to speak airline would be reckoned as more nations around the world shaker dateline determine their own future must take place. i think also they take it upon itself the attacks that began in two thousand and eight. this is what the breadth of the nation looks like. you read it us coast bays independence tuesday as before to you and jace did was legal and in doing says set precedents then now turned on and i didn't see john and other friends and still haunt the country to break away in two thousand and eleven to create the welcome us to country stayed on. they realize they shouldn't this historic day is a testament to tyler's efforts of the people of south sudan and a search for peace. the ussr and see in the capital achieve at the very same day just nostalgic because
8:05 pm
tonight and he never even opened items they did at the well may need to remain pretends he is david cameron so in the argentinian president alone to raise its specifically with the option on president. it's a simple little pays attention to this referendum something the right thing to do. again in drifts and a fifth wheel is a union to land in september that the announcement on wednesday he thinking appointments to set itself the scots to decide that you can. the school could talk to self tanning nice and rainy as referendum has been denounced as he feel like it's the second period the world's biggest economy license and went to jack's place to project to clean them in paintings in lithuania. it's also preparing sanctions along with the key to comes to self tell the nation for territorial integrity. and since this kid is and what
8:06 pm
was in predicting which way it's a natural talents will sign it. he is better if it's a good chance when a bleak and lots of hand the rhetoric is you can see is very tense. washington accuses of having patron watch this as a force this technique has the ukraine are part of russia's black sea fleet and are allowed to be there and existing contracts book discusses i'm joined by eric treats her with a geopolitical geopolitical analyst with stock and carolyn dot com think kerry think coming. thank you the referendum is coming up in the us is worried about the drills that much is conducting on its territory let me play clay from secretary kerry studio to be recognized results of this referendum. we also remain deeply concerned about the large deployments of russian forces in crimea. and along the eastern border with russia. everyone is now
8:07 pm
thinking about. the lights after the referendum on sunday where to wake up on monday and see what we're going to see that the digi set in the western allies the united states and its partners are going to be continuing the rhetoric of rejecting the referendum rejecting the will of the crimean people and of course will continue with that sort of hypocritical position but the key is whether or not they're going to be able to recognize the legitimacy question is the central question not only the legitimacy of the referendum but also the legitimacy of the government that they're backing in kiev part of the central issue here is that people in crimea and only crimea which it to other regions in ukraine are strongly doubted whether or not this government the so called government in kiev has any legitimacy whatsoever. so when we wake up on monday and cranny and people who exercise their will. the bold and perky of the proverbial ball will be in the court of the united states today and say what is the legitimate authority in ukraine and with
8:08 pm
coop in the russian government deal that is the real issue because of crimea is allowed to exercise its independence. i think it's pretty clear from the poll numbers in from opinion more generally. which way this is headed. harrogate care about the esoteric your product details of going on in russia. close to the border with ukraine what is the west afraid of well they're really afraid of the world are realizing that the narrative it's been spun in the western corporate media the narrative of russia as the aggressor will then fall apart. the notion that russia is aggressively acting in crimea without ever having fired a shot. having rigidly adhere to the protocols of the treaty and the relevant internationally recognized treaties. this is now flying in the face of constant rhetoric that we've heard from all media outlets about putin being some kind of a tyrannical aggressor. now as the crimean people are allowed to exercise their own self determination. this
8:09 pm
question of aggression also become central and so i think that the rhetoric here from secretary kerry and from others about the military drills. this is a propagandist and purposes that is to cement the narrative. russia is aggressively acting in crimea rather than rush of protecting its own strategic interests in cultural interest in allowing the people of crimea to determine their own future now the question since this was secretary kerry says the us is taking much as legitimate concerns of this he said into consideration what concerns is he talking about. well in theory he's talking about russia's military concerns the basis of the scope of the black sea fleet on russia's economic concerns in terms of either gas delivery infrastructure in terms of a russian investment in terms of the ukrainian export market all of these things are the legitimate interests of russia but when he says that he's being disingenuous because rather than taking these concerns into account washington has done everything in their power to
8:10 pm
undermine precisely those interested russia has. this is part of the geopolitical agenda part of the nato expansion agenda is to undermine russia's interests undermine russia's ability not only to defend itself but to defend its interests and to defend its own people and its allies that is the agenda and has been reeling since nineteen ninety one. i am thinking about ukrainian and it says about a rash that you think they think it's about rush at the not so much about ukraine. what certainly both in ukraine is an integral part of bridging the gap between the west and russia for that reason you see ukraine throughout the centuries be sort of the plaything of empires whether the polish lithuanian empire that the germans during world war two we can go on and on the ottoman says while ukraine has always played that role and it is precisely the same role that ukraine is thrust into today in twenty fourteen unfortunately for the people of ukraine. this is the historical circumstances are living with the question then becomes what is most beneficial for the ukrainian
8:11 pm
people in terms of their own ability to determine their future in terms of their ability to have a prosperous economic future and tangible economic and political development the corruption in all of the other things that we've seen in recent years these are all political issues that have to be addressed but they have to be addressed but the ukrainian people not by the western powers. i wonder what you would say about this phone apple where we all started with that essentially was an ultimatum from the eu. for ukraine's you're either with us or with the shack. why did the west late in the eq at that time reject the offer to have some kind of a tripartite agreement with ukraine could have ties both with the eq and to keep the ties with russia. because there was a political and geopolitical power play by the eu and by the united states is well on they understood full well that the honor code which government for a lot of very pragmatic reasons and eighty logical reasons as well was not going to be able to accept the association
8:12 pm
agreement as it was presented to them. we should remember also the association and was a thousand page document or more in fact and within that document was buried a lot of specifications and a lot of fine print. it was not simply an economic agreement it was also in military cooperation agreement the russians understood this the honor of the government understood this and quite frankly there's a very real historical precedent. not only with kosovo but also with georgia the former soviet republics or former soviet allies who then become part of the neat o sphere of influence to drag the former russian allies into the data sphere of influence has been the agenda all along and the association agreement. i would call it essentially a black male agreement. he was forcing them to choose the west or russia rather than to choose what was in their own best interest which is mentioned was a tripartite solution we could have economic dealings and economic cooperation mutually beneficial economic cooperation. i would add
8:13 pm
between russia and ukraine into europe ukraine but that wasn't on the table because it didn't serve the geo political interests of the us and nato. eric one last question that cranial if random office of voters essentially two options to secede from ukraine enjoy much that i'll want to stay as part of ukraine but with a great deal of autonomy economy that was granted to the region under the nineteen ninety two constitution of mighty st the status quo is is not an option white oval what is the stock is well there. will the status quo it depends on how we're interpreting the status quo we mean crimea as being subject to an illegitimate government in kiev that status quo is certainly unacceptable not only did the crimea and some of the other regions in the east and south have no say in what happened on my don had no say in the seizure of power in kiev. so from their perspective to a large degree they see that government is illegitimate so that status quo that is to say being under the authority of. so called government in kiev is unacceptable. now there are
8:14 pm
two distinctly different alternatives though on something along the lines of the regional autonomy within the federal line system. this is a very real possibility or moving completely away from ukraine and moving more into the historical antecedent that they have with russia and relationship with russia also very much on the table certainly the question really i think is up to the people of crimea but also up to the united states because remember it's the united states being the dominant global power that it is that with its words with its diplomacy can confer legitimacy on whatever solution ends up happening in crimea. that is going to be the interesting thing to watch from here on out. how does the us respond to the will of the people in crimea. i think they're ready made it clear how they will respond to it that will knock back the next so they say no but the question becomes when circumstances change and has the world realizes the reality in crimea and we'll see. and racer. i think of her much a political analyst at stopping carroll
