the civic that i disagree nukes extra being with us today so. what do you think has changed in the way russia and the united states see each other in light of the so-called reset of bilateral relations. well i think that the main change is that both sides have decided that they should improve their relations there was not such an impression under the former presidents i don't know about the proposal itself to reset relations with russia and the united states does that mean that the u.s. policy towards us was initially wrong you know it means that the state of relations was wrong who's to blame it's hard for me to say who's policy was right or wrong. at the pier what the patches interceptor missiles are going to be deployed both in poland and romania in what way just a new a.m.d. model differ from the old one. there's a lot of confusion and lack of clarity on the anti missile defense intentionally or unintentionally many experts confuse it with strategic a.m.d. which can be used against russia's intercontinental ballistic missiles and which

the united states practically doesn't have it's one thing what the americans talk about when they discuss deployments in europe is an ability to intercept medium range missiles which russia no longer has they were destroyed at the nine hundred eighty nine trading in other words these are missiles which are around or some kind of terrorist could launch and which could reach europe from there from a distance of five thousand kilometers the case in point is to intercept these missiles therefore in order to create a clear picture we should understand that we are talking about a fear that sooner or later irresponsible groups may come into possession of nuclear weapons and. russia has condemned the tough sanctions which the united states has he knew laterally imposed on iran can russia count on support from major developing countries or couldn't find itself isolated you. know why brazil is joins dialogue on iran's weapons the brazilian president has been to turkey they understand that nuclear weapons can play

a negative and destructive role if it gets into a. rands hands everybody understands that the iranian regime is rather radical and infected with elements of extremism the appearance of nuclear missiles in iran's hands may certainly provoke a crisis and urge some countries for example israel to retaliate with a nuclear strike on iran all that may lead to a war which hardly anybody wants that's why the fact that iran may create nuclear weapons is a source of great attention for russia and the united states. is that when russia refused to deliver they asked three hundred systems to iran in compliance with nato sanctions to what degree are we neglecting our own interests and counting on reciprocal steps from the united states more involved of course we can and we should but the main thing now is to build all possible bargaining on a.m.d. and possibly north korea into the reset concept some kind of an idea to this effect should emerge for example we've signed a strategic arms reduction treaty it's good but it's already in the past how are we

going to deal with the americans today and tomorrow questions arise and problems emerge it can be the arctic or iran that's where the main problem of russian american relations is lying is it possible to turn the two countries readiness to reset the relations into a new system of interaction one of those korea's sat that it will build up its nuclear potential in order to rebut the u.s. threat what well should russia play in this case to interfere or tall what stance she will be taking. of course it should interfere it's all taking place on our border quite unexpectedly a source of a possible nuclear conflict has started writing there we cannot stay neutral we should understand that the food and social situation in north korea is grave we should try to help the north koreans therefore i think that russia could produce a positive influence on the whole process and prevent negotiations on korea from turning into an instrument of punishment of north koreans because that would inspire wild tricks on their part on the contrary we should show the koreans that

we are ready to discuss problems if they agree to observe certain rules of conduct it seems to me that russia and china may bring this thought home to the north korean leadership that's helping the united states japan and the republic of korea to overcome the looming crisis that's been in recent years native's expansion to the east tasneem the biggest problem in relations between russia and nato yes now the political course in ukraine has changed and at this moment this question is closed as nato exhausts its expansion potential that let's begin from the fact that nato is a past matter it has no future today we should think about european security in a different way we should switch over to other forms of interaction between russia and the western community we are trying to pave this way while nato is dividing europe and russia for various reasons it's unlikely to join nato it's too big and it's quite self-sufficient in military terms it doesn't need nato and its guarantees it will be very well to do without the but it means that for

a certain period of time europe is going to be split into nato members and non nato countries namely russia that's going to create unnecessary tensions therefore i think that the very decision to expand nato was poorly thought through as not very reasonable in its time the more so it was made in a very defined manner in one thousand nine hundred four russia pulled its troops out of europe. we could have started building a common european home but instead russia faced nato expansion this is a confrontational policy we don't have reasons to quarrel with nato countries there are no reasons but there is a split there is also the need to prepare for a possible conflict with our military strategy starts evolving towards creation of pre-conditions for a possible conflict with nato which in fact we shouldn't have you. i'm saying once again that we cooperate with nato but we should proceed from the fact that nato is not a solution to european security or a totally different system should be created there we have our views which our president has set forth however the west has so far been cautious. you're right

europe is cautious about it and presently deeds of sad that the forum that to us was very serious about it how would you explain to the west what our primary goals are in relation to the common european security treating the guy. in politics just as in general life inertia plays a crucial role in what nato is a successful inertia that has been developing for sixty years all countries that had stepped beyond the control of the soviet union were striving to get into nato and they were ascended to nato for some reason nato is now seen as a universal umbrella that is supposed to defend them from the question is then from whom from russia does it mean that russia is nato adversary or therefore russia would be preparing for a confrontation with nato sooner or later this will happen and nuclear weapons will be used this wiping europe off the face of the earth but we are being persuaded that russia is a good country since we're

a good country let's come to an agreement our president isn't proposing a bad thing it's practically a successful model of the shanghai cooperation organization let's consult we have our problems and complaints and you have yours let's sit down and start discussing them then perhaps we won't need these gigantic constructions that had lingered from the cold war times. does that mean that we shouldn't be expecting anything principally new in nature concept set for november. that's right we shouldn't i believe it's a very poor concept and i think many americans aren't happy with it either i read the report and i was very disappointed initial it's composed for ten years ahead which means another ten years of the same old thing but about a breakthrough what about significant proposal and soon. what about obama and his reset nothing of the kind is included in us. do you think rush hour will make it into the w t o touring obama's term considering he said he would make it his priority to help question this issue that. russia should certainly become

a w t o member has become an active player on the world market even though we get only one percent this is a huge amount dozens of billions of dollars but as nonmembers of the w t o we have to bear all necessary expenses which of course is a hindrance in my opinion this is a more serious matter than just an economic issue we are quite capable of pain but we see it as discrimination this is an attempt of keeping russia in the waiting room for as long as possible. does that mean he believes obama's words are part of a game of double standards. from the b. show clinton bush and all other american presidents promised us removing that amendment but it hasn't been removed so far perhaps it's the us congress that is determined not to remove it i don't rule it out as the majority of the u.s. congress is extremely conservative including many neoconservatives this means we have to look for other solutions like forming our own trade zones and agreeing with

particular countries on a different regime unilaterally but that's all right we'll survive send ago we have already signed a strategic arms reduction treaty is it possible the senate will fail to ratifying start three. this possibility has been discussed perhaps i'm being too rational but i don't think so this treaty meets the interests of the us as well it isn't about making unilateral amends for russia this treaty is well thought through and balanced it's a kind of tree you or even a simpleton would see the balance it's presented in numbers it can be literally touched but it has no unilateralism. this treaty obviously meets the interests of the us but fortunately such issues aren't always up to reasonable people but to all reasonable as well. as potomac consequently this would be considered obama's failure and a sign of the personal dislike republicans have against him. you're absolutely right this certainly has nothing to do with attitude towards russia they're used to

us by now with. if a number of those willing to humiliate him exceeds a certain level then the ratification wouldn't happen if obama is losing his score unfortunately his popularity is dropping evidently when he was running for presidency they had overrated expectations of him then they were expecting him to perform a miracle which never happened friends of his. well he has to fill some election promises he was thirty two from iraq and transferred them to afghanistan can america succeed in afghanistan. of course. what are you talking about in this sense america is no different from the soviet union of the british empire winning a military victory in afghanistan is impossible but in my opinion what's worrying is that i haven't seen a clear political goal that the us is trying to achieve in afghanistan implementing the so-called democratic regime is impossible the afghan government has always been in charge of kabul only nothing more heads of different tribes have been controlling everything else the common board of elders and chiefs of tribes has

been managing all major events of the country what kind of government can be there what do they want all right a little point karzai who will sit in kabul and do his talking there. i cannot see any goals except for one thing but bush began his military operation in kabul to punish the taliban so he did and they left kabul but they still remain in control of the country moreover their attempts of doing something to them triggered the war of the pakistan taliban against their army and pakistan happened to be the battle zone and this rings the bell as pakistan is a nuclear country thus the war was escalated which didn't mean anything good fish to put an average american isn't interested in the subtle details he's interested in the state of economy in business and in unemployment and this is where obama hasn't really succeeded. deserve to be a nobel peace prize winner in the garden. the prize was awarded to him as an advance that it's been long since an american president talks so boldly about the

problem of peace and the need of consolidating peace and eliminating nuclear weapons he talked a lot about these issues and he did sound very reassuring indeed but so far he hasn't shown a significant progress in this sphere thank you very much for that. you
