pressure. starts on t.v. dot com. but i would start to look at the headlines now here and ati islamophobia becomes a leading issue in the election campaign or strip as right wing politicians boost the votes of the controversial and to loosen the computer get some fear and nationalist racist campaign tactics of becoming increasingly popular in europe. world leaders debate ways to fulfill that goal of having terrible poverty talks at the u.n. millennium summit and more meeting is looking at their progress and whether there are sections hampering efforts to meet the two thousand and fifteen target. plus a russian scientist says control in the mind is the key to changing the world and

he's willing to prove it. fools create energy fields that can have a positive or negative impact on the surrounding environment. he's advised u.s. presidents and helped shape american foreign policy for decades speaking the earth speaks now to a lot about dangerous times from the cold war and gives his take on the modern day war on terror his interview is coming up next. has advised u.s. presidents for decades and served as the national security adviser under the carter administration he sits down now with r.t. dr brzezinski thank you so much for joining us we do appreciate this opportunity it's very nice to be with you it's been nine years sense nine eleven and there are still no signs of osama bin laden and your book the grand chessboard you write for america the chief geo political prize is eurasia america's global primacy is

directly dependent on how long and how effectively its preponderance on the eurasian continent is to staines is that why we're in afghanistan to sustain our global supremacy nowhere in afghanistan before because of nine eleven. nine eleven involved a horrendous crime against the american public and its cold for measures designed to make certain that that doesn't occur again. american role on the huge continent of europe asia it's much more benign it involves alliances with some key countries it involves improvement in relations with some previous antagonists so it should not be confused with the operation in afghanistan which has a very specific historical motive and a very specific objective now i want to ask in an interview the french magazine in one thousand nine hundred eight you called the covert funding of the mujahedeen

prior to the former soviet union's invasion an excellent idea according to their analysis of what you said the dismantling of the soviet union was to a degree more important than quote some started muslims and that you don't regret it do you stand by that statement now yes although that version of so-called interview was not really an interview the interview was an extensive interview which was supposed to be translated and sent to me is never was and then excerpts from it to a sort of amalgamated and published but basically the facts are correct united states decided to provide superficially corporate funding to the i've got resistance when it became clear that the soviet union was being getting more actively and directly and eventually when it did in thirteen given directly that was expanded and continued on the republic of the instructions to president carter that doctors interned their resistance and led directly to the collapse of the

soviet union and that removed from the international scene of the possible world war so that your mind. has made possible the kind of reconciliation but it's now underway in eurasia but more important. paralyzing. dilemma a paralyzing danger but hovered over the entire international community so the threat of the soviet union such as you're mentioning right now was of course much more important than the threat we say we have now with the so-called war on terror well clearly i mean look in the event of a war between the soviet union and the united states i was not at all in their. decision making process but we will blow by the time i would call for a response so we knew exactly the nature of the threat that we're all facing within a few hours literally within a few hours about eighty five to twenty million people and there would be this

numbers eighty five to about one hundred twenty million people would have been dead in the united states and it was so the joy. of the should just no comparison between that and terrorism it will be dangerous and horrible particularly the victims but in terms of scale it's simply not the same ball park let's talk about the future implications of that decision that was made all those years ago. what did you expect the dean what you're calling the afghan resistance to do with the weaponry that the u.s. and other countries provided to them after the soviet union fell on did you expect this weaponry to be given. back the civil war which insinuate after to lead to the formation of what we have now which is the taliban i think the problem you know has to be looked at in a close a historical perspective the war lasted almost a decade it was

a terrible. for the soviet union and waged against you know it killed close to a million guns drawn by forces beyond their country. so the process of consolidation the rehabilitation of understand the bombs fall. and the west unfortunately. roughly ten years. attack started and then the soviets left did very little to rehabilitate afghanistan the taliban phenomenon i wrote was some years after the soviet union to. the taliban it was not involved in fighting. against the soviets to drive out the form of. the taliban capitalize on the opportunity to develop you know. after the end of the war when it was largely ignored by everyone knows the weapons you know the. tradition of being armed individually the weapons are provided for most of very simple weapons mostly and

there are a few exceptions the kind most guys could handle without difficulty so you don't believe that the funding of the dean led to the formation of the taliban today no but if i look look look what the osama bin laden himself said. some of bin laden described the reasons why he engaged in terrorism against the west and the fact that he would be so. international with the taliban was involved in imposing again the star in the evil concept of society. but unfortunately it gave a haven to al qaeda osama bin laden and al qaeda had global aspirations and engage in global terrorism we'd be having this conversation now if we didn't expect the soviet union to the former soviet union to invade prior to our funding the mujahideen so that he was already involved directly into the sun for several

years by the time to funding started the funding started at a time when the soviet union was already making preparations to invade afghanistan did you think that that would provoke the. i have no way of knowing but i was assuming they would go in because they were going in you know it was evident there was an escalation of soviet involvement and by the time the funding stop. the soviet union was already involved quayside militarily with guns there and i get back to this this idea from your book that eurasia is this very important chess player if you well for. the united states you also mention in your book that you're a just just a chess board out much of the struggle for global primacy continues to be played and the most immediate task is to make certain that no state or combination of states gain the capacity to expel the united states from eurasia or even diminishing if it only its decisive arbitrary rule now which states at the moment

would you say are threatening the u.s. role there and here asia well first of all i think one has to take into account that the soviet union is no longer around so the american soviet competition which in many ways was largely a way for control of eurasia is finished we also now have a much more important participant in this sort of distribution of power across your asia that is china so the nature of so to speak the competition the rivalry or the game has changed it's much more question of maneuver political accommodation and. balancing to make certain that no one dominates this continent and particularly no one who is imbue it with a global missionary zeal as the soviet union was so i think the nature of the relationships now on the eurasian continent is fundamentally different and provides for much greater opportunity of some accommodation we've seen

accommodation developing still timidly but developing between russia and the united states and that's an important development we have a significant relationship with china isn't screaming stuff european union japan and others are becoming involved so i think it's a much more so to speak balanced. and potentially more stable i'm certain of this hostile. kind of relationships and i want to switch gears to another region that were influential on the middle east with the israeli palestinian conflict now you helped draft a letter with with lee hamilton that suggested that hamas should be part of this equation what do you make of the current day peace process the one that's taking place right now hamas is not part of that equation how far do you think they'll get in finding a solution to the problem a two state solution ultimately i think it would be very difficult to settle this problem totally unless the more extremist parties on both sides. i mean the.

war against itself so at some stage maybe not right away but at some stage. the sort of extremists will have to be crawling into the dialogue because although i still undermine it do you predict that the obama administration before the next election cycle comes that they will engage mosques in this discussion and i'll take it as such prediction because that would be a wonderful headline and there's no basis for making such a report there because how can really put it so far satisfy a specific historical event but it's something which is the case we all know that everyone above knows it really that hamas will have to be involved in some fashion syria and israel will have to be involved in a joint direct dialogue in some fashion but hezbollah will have to be fitted

into the process so we're dealing here with more or less known pieces that will have to be at different stages drawn into a process if it is to be a lasting one but in present circumstances for the negotiations to begin by the most moderately inclined part to. supposing both sides make sense i'm wondering if you could also now switch to iran since that's been a very big topic now for actually decades. iran has seemed defiant despite sanctions and despite other threats coming from outside forces including some of their allies they've remained defiant do you think that it will eventually lead to airstrikes on their nuclear facilities well i certainly hope not. because i don't think a wider war in the region is to be desired and the us should not support israel if they choose to do that independently i think a wider war in the region is not desirable but we have to be conscious of the fact that it is avoidable would

a possible war on iran if it is launch of the threat and america's. standing in europe asia i think a war in the region will spread and of all the america whoever starts it and i think that's not in america's interest i don't think it's in the region's interest i don't think it's in the interest of the international community dr brzezinski thank you so much thank you i greatly appreciate it nice to talk to you and the talk to you as well. a close up game has been to the our hangal speech. where the first russian fleet was born. how r.t. goes to the area which holds top position in oil and gas resources. where the biggest russian salmon cammy are processing factories located. and where unique
