this is a serious problem we can't ignore the fact that they're trying to destabilize the situation we're going not only by economic sanctions by ethical means as well it is a multiethnic seventy million people country destabilization it is rather dangerous great britain then usa within a year they'll start withdrawing their troops from afghanistan despite almost daily reports of attacks there an increasing number of victims in this country how do you think it's because their eyes government able to control the situation without foreign support. it's obvious that cause i's administration is a puppet government managed by occupation forces that this administration is corrupted but it isn't supported by the local population but the withdrawal two days were sent twenty eleven and the end of twenty fourteen initially those dates were determined after president obama's so-called afghan strategic policy was announced included several points greasing the presence of u.s.

armed forces and. the u.k. in afghanistan preventing programs for winning members of taliban over to their side and building up afghan forces we see today however that these programs aren't working with the taliban movement has been seizing more control over the territory afghan armed forces remain inefficient american and allied forces keep losing more so we wonder whether this policy would result in stabilizing the situation. how does the situation in afghanistan in fact stability in which and in central asia are used. to if there are two factors which strongly affect the situation in the region or drug trafficking and terrorism a number of politicians in the west and in russia also have until recently seriously believe that the presence of the u.s. and allied troops in afghanistan is good including for russia because the united states and their allies are fighting the drug traffic. terrorism i always prefer

giving concrete facts in october two thousand and nine the united nations states in a very professional and comprehensive report absolutely clearly at the time u.s. troops went to afghanistan no drugs were cultivated in the taliban controlled areas and absolute record in this respect eight thousand two hundred tons were set in two thousand and seven after the us troops headed rived in afghanistan if you comment here a second in that report mr costa the deputy special representative to the united nations secretary general who's also the head of the un office on drugs and crime said the drugs were not the biggest problem can you imagine it given the fact that thirty or forty thousand russians were annually dying of drug abuse today these figures a much higher europe also has a high death toll from drugs terrorism well before the u.s. troops came to afghanistan we had absolutely no trustworthy information about the taliban participation in raids in the territories or central asian states. in one

thousand nine. thousand on the contrary we know that those militants infiltrated from the territory if you start to where they'd come from northern afghanistan or which at that time was being controlled by the northern alliance and the u.s. ally against the taliban regime. in july and august on another central asian country was hit by massive ethnic clashes with hundred stat is there any danger that we could could see a repeat. of that if not you know back in april i warned about this kind of scenario for southern style which first of all the situation in southern kyrgyzstan had been intensively destabilized the second into ethnic tensions are also high in that region of the southern regions of open to that part of. which borders on afghanistan and that is also open war with so those who want to stage provocations and heats up the situation from you can easily attract militants of a. so there were all preconditions for the outbreak of violence but the world

community it was pretty much. now we're talking about a death toll in two thousand and huge number of injured simply because center been destroyed the worst is that the preconditions for further tension remain but they haven't vanished into ethnic tension remains and still there are people interested in kindling ethnic tension preconditions should be eliminated now there are plans to send fifty two policemen to who are supposed to do something that will but what can fifty two unarmed men do. if anything happens to these policemen orders will be given to bring in armed units to start if he's going to send military units there of course it's nato as a u.s. military base in mass french air base and a one hundred fifty four thousand nato military contingent in afghanistan with more of the problem if that happens we will witness

a very interesting situation that will resemble the one in kosovo by the way at the end of last year the u.s. senate held hearings on the situation in central asia of course five of that report described as a failed state which might disintegrate and the threat of active western interference according to the cost of a scenario is realistic but many in code to stand don't want to that to happen they would be welcomed russian troops and meet them with bread and salt but in no way the western ones this is a very serious contradiction which may lead to serious consequences. does days ago thousands of secret pentagon to the public why it happened to think. obviously there are political groups who raise the question of the ineffectiveness of u.s. troops intelligence and other services in afghanistan and right now they deliberately dwelling on the war in afghanistan in detail to explain that it's useless they've spent over four hundred bill. in dollars one american soldier costs one million

dollars a year so they spend one hundred billion dollars directly on soldiers apart from other expenses which are high as well and the result is actually nothing you think that's why they start raising such questions and giving publicists he to various documents relating to the issue. that probably the secret service is. wary about us if so why hasn't he been captured or killed. but he's a person who knows a lot closer together with the cia with saudi arabian intelligence you think it was acquainted with the head of saudi arabian intelligence that. he has a great knowledge of many contacts on into agency intelligence closely works with the u.s. intelligence if we might be so that somebody is interested in his presence in this place americans say that they fight against al qaeda in pakistan and afghanistan

but the u.n. reports that in afghanistan there are less than three hundred al qaeda members in comparison with the one hundred fifty four thousand u.s. personnel and according to our information they are no more than one hundred people perhaps even less if you understand what this means when there are one hundred or three hundred terrorists against the one hundred fifty four thousand on me or the symbol should remain overwise there's a question are they doing. one of these thing is major political global events was signing a new start treaty between russia and the u.s. how do you think how will. an american. parts they've been hearings in the state duma and the foreign affairs committee did russia and the fair russia party support the treaty the liberal democratic party is against it they have a weak argument but it's their choice the communists are in doubts. and tend to be

against it too but all the same we're gathering votes but in the end it depends on the outcome in america of course there are opponents of this treaty who is sure that it does not comply with the us interests let's now turn to another part of the planet north korea which can do science between us and south kareen wynter forces and has threatened to respond how do you think how dangerous is the situation on the korean peninsula. in the north korea would have been destroyed long ago if they did not have ten or twelve warheads with nobody knows whether they have them or not for sure but it's enough for military containment for both south korea and america that's why they're holding the exercise there i know little about the north korean regime but i definitely know that it's very archaic and more dangerous his sort of mixture of the middle ages with the pseudo marxist slogans of this regime is dangerous for the entire world and in my opinion that's the regime we should take for all kinds of sanctions against a stain just to threaten them with weapons because we cannot predict their reaction

and they also have a several million strong army which can cross the border and this may lead to any number of consequences is an empire a monarchy power which could collapse at any moment the world economy is slowly recovering in a sleigh due to the economic growth in asia and especially in china how big do you think is beijing's role in politics today the third of the work i want to find is said to be the locomotive of the world economy this is why there are a lot of things that depend on china we should give the chinese credit for having created over the last few decades a powerful economy that in addition to everything else is just around the corner from where we are politically i think the chinese are aimed at strengthening their economic might they're pursuing a very aggressive economic policy everywhere central asia africa and god knows where else even in afghanistan it's a case of expansion directed at grabbing raw material resources china is building up its power. to presumably they have one hundred nuclear warheads more than we

believe they had a more it's a powerful enemy perspectively it's a very dangerous expansion pride in states all of this is pointing to a possibility that sooner or later they going to embark on a policy of active expansion well it's dangerous for us to say that china is all strategic and it is one but in relation to that we should also have powerful forces of all right with a powerful economy and be ready for a show of strength and the question many russians and europeans have worried about how real of. a free regime between. i think the e.u. is concerned having a visa free regime with certain central asian states by drugs and a terrorist threat coming from this is why the europeans are wary but basically we should of course seek a visa free regime it's realistic but we're realistic in the short time is anyone's guess if you will have to thank you very much.
