hey everybody i'm stephen baldwin. hollywood guy next. proud american first of all i'm just george bush and honored to say this is my buddy max famous financial guru just a little bit different i'm not. going to ruin your windows with all the drama happening in our country i'm shooting the road to have fun every day americans. hopefully start to bridge the gap this is the great american.

a low in welcome across all things are you would think so if you're a kurd also just how many u.s. troops are in syria and why and the living hell this is the i'm. talking some real news i'm joined by my guest mark sloboda he's an international affairs and my bitch is a political analyst as well as a leading expert at the center. he's a political analyst with sputnik international crown prince of saudi arabia has been and we see that and we see that with this new. so the king to be. there to the throne. is showing progress in foreign markets and many shows himself to be a. pretend journalists go ahead exactly you guys are reading this all wrong this

this torrid love letter was one of the most heartfelt. examples of of true tolerance right. between they can exist the platonic love that can exist between two men. i think this goes beyond bromance i think what we need to say about this is that i mean thomas friedman is the new york times favorite pro globalization pro empire columnist he is embarrassing the new york times at the very least the new york times could have gotten some advertising revenue and made saudi arabia pay for the sink if and see this friedman even said mohammed bin saw him and instructed me not to write i mean this is a journalist this is a way this is good this is journalism at its very best in the west right on the head well i just love the story of prince mohammed bin through in some of

these princes into a deal did you that is rich culture and hold them and they started to cough up some money you know mr friedman forgets that also the lebanese prime minister had to have an unplanned vacation in saudi arabia for eighteen days for one has to wonder how much he was squeezed for it as well a lot of people do and there are that the lebanese prime minister has a lot of business interests with the saudis and the embarrassment is that the european press noticed it and basically the french president marker on even the french press admits it was not a big gain for but growing actually they were both humiliated by mohamed bin someone you know the lebanese prime minister saad hariri and the french president and let me tell you that this is not further the first time that western press is enthusiastic about people through and people in jail and then they get. money from

them saakashvili did the same thing with shevardnadze especially and they had nothing but praise for him now mohamed bin someone you know this anti-corruption drive about which friedman writes that a lot of soldiers who had nothing but if if use of support was a section well if you don't have a huge support for it in saudi arabia but you're in trouble here you're going to be just of all knowledge. and you're going to get down to what the phrase the arab spring is a brand a failed idea that mostly regime it was as it was called sunni wintering what are you saying you are as it is a growth of islamism and attacks on christian orthodoxy across the you know the middle east and north africa but thomas friedman by referring to mohamed bin solomon's purges and murders to secure the crown for himself as the arab spring in saudi arabia puts the final nail in the tire he is in sydney where i hope

our viewers know what i'm talking about victor going to have to go we have to move gears we're going to talk about the kurds going to sort of their apps bring with it let. us it's disintegration in the middle east it's wars in libya in syria in other parts of the each and nothing good i think for all of our readers to robert fisk slater's thing. just said there u.s. foreign policy in the middle east doesn't exist anymore well just a small conclusion about almost grievances arab spring you know. came on roller skates thomas friedman the supreme comes old aircraft be there off the mistreatment screen a new way in there of the world. with you know with personas reputation with his failure in lebanon with his failure in his policy in the yemen with his other failures inside saudi arabia no great p.r. from from friedman is what it is they're pretty sure ok ok to. i mean what's going

on donald trump has told his new friend now the president of turkey that the u.s. will no longer be supporting the kurds in northern syria according to according to yes ok i think everything i said was true and now we gets a little blurry this is according to our. and his regime in turkey he says that. donald trump promised him in a phone call that he would stop supplying arms to the kurds which which the turks refer to in syria as kurdish terrorists quote unquote here's the problem here is the u.s. has made similar promises to turkey before and they lied and they continued supplying arms to trump couch this with twitter tweets once again reiterating that what he refers to as the bringing peace to the mess he inherited there and that what a mistake in lives and six trillion dollars worth and the last think it is most important however. mattis. and the pentagon

which are really running military and foreign policy may not be on the same page and according to the wall street journal military spokesman named again military officials have said that they do not they have not received any instructions on this matter and even if they were to stop supplying arms to the kurds they could continue supplying them to the syrian democratic forces which are also so they say her. tribe is a it's a foreign policy of one man look what happened was there was a summit. in sochi of course the americans felt. russia has slighted them with its own much more successful policy in the syria policy if you go to stabilizing the region not making it more of a. what the americans were doing for the last six years and they're actually much

longer than that for decades and so tom felt that he had to see something to air the guy in that conversation to make him the more i am in the boat to american wishes and have promised him something concerning this isn't your dish but what we what we know about it is what have the americans look been helping the curate's anyway in that region because the americans want a stake in syria be asleep the want to be in a position in northern syria to dictate some of the terms of the civil war setting an end to justify their presence there you're assuming that you know what terry has according to earlier gone thirteen military bases illegally without syrian permission in northern syria without anyone's permission the unit we're looking at you look at all as usual going to the main areas of the i agree with victor that it was important that the iranian turkish and russian leader met in sochi and in fact

they're now deciding the fate of syria and they're deciding what the outcome of the civil war is going to be i think the fate of syria will be of course just decided by syrians themselves but what is important is that these so-called high negotiations has morphed in riyadh into just that committee for negotiations and for the first time the so-called cairo platform and most are included these are the real moderates the people who have been supporting a dialogue with president abbas of since the beginning ok there are only eight of them there are eight from the so-called national syrian coalition supported by the west in the media you have a lot of other groups including some that simply were ignored by the west for many years but the bloc in stake in this is eleven votes so if cairo and more school platforms if they manage to get three on their side they will have a blocking. stake. locks all up and yes i think well. you know there is nothing

more embarrassing if you are gone becomes a friend or a trump there is nothing more embarrassing than trump's friendship let me remind you of that in july this year mr trump and saw that the lebanese prime minister was on this visit to washington. raised him for resisting hezbollah look people go to jail that has always acted in four hundred members so it was like brazen know that we just did this or is that we just ignore this is a city is not going to become times france for one simple reason he is a you know that will be there to be understands the words. was much not there and speaking last words are worth anything either but. the important thing is that yes russia has all these accomplishments on the ground there are trying to move towards a political settlement if they can separate erdogan from al-qaeda which doesn't seem likely to me and if the but the us game is not over yet when mad dog mattis

the secretary of defense who is really running us in military foreign policy according to our president says we're not going to just a what walk away with right now even though isis is military defeated in eastern syria their last territorial acquisitions there have have evaporated and now we have the word out that the leaks that the u.s. military is about to admit that they have far more troops up to four hold that thought mark we're going to go to a short break and after a short break we'll continue our discussion on some real news staying with arctic. ice is was it to. americans by the the. unfortunate. why financial support of some.

countries in the. for making them unsafe to go into. is doing an actual job is like basically if i could dig a taas euthanasia clinic tromp is the euthanasia doctor america's being euthanized and he's doing in a way where it's the least amount of pain but that's not that's not cruel i mean these doing as a good euthanasia this he's doing things in a cruel free way. welcome to the wonderful world of blood donation i come here every three weeks to get my

transfusion to be specific i receive immunoglobulin my body gets and support is that it cannot produce itself around the world giving blood is seen as a symbol of generosity no one does this because it helps people it's just that one of the side effects is that you know this applies more. to put the money on your car immediately you have all plasma based drugs today come from a private company and are produced from paid plasma as well. you know a motor car and. one of the risks of a donation in it then is proof that the frequency of pathologies is much higher in paid donations. if i was. over two years old he was. in the money using the drug and who runs the blood business.

welcome back across the uk or all things considered i'm peter lavelle to remind you we're discussing some real news. ok david over the last few days we had movement on the anti russian front in europe taken away well there was this so-called eastern partnership all of the e.u. states and there by john i mean yeah moldova belarus georgia you know the former soviet republics which border one of the european union and the u. is almost opened it trying to make enemies of russia out of them i mean officially at this summit they said that this is not directed against russia but i think there is a me that. prime minister very strong food no to this you know here's what she said

we must be open to the actions of hostile states like russia which threaten these european potential and attempt to tear apart our collective strengths you know what i just really really remarkable about that is that the forces within the e.u. itself are tearing itself apart no one no one has to push it along all you need to do is watch go ahead and go you know. somebody will travel to go home and there she needs. to blame it on and it's a good up until you are going to talk is always a good point because it madeline it's hard to every but there's another point you know britain actually kept it worse relationship with the soviet union during the cold war and then the americans so it's no surprise that london to be pushing for another you know for even more confrontational with russia there is another point of course unlike most other european states and like german you know like italy france britain actually has very little trade just like the united states it has

very little trade with moscow so it has very little to lose and it's trying to push those european countries that do have something to lose to lose that that's what it's there and you know just like the i mean it's it amazing you know you have the british prime minister trying to dictate european foreign policy i would negotiate in bragg's that had to say time it's really remarkable this is a in the british government in this still of this post-imperial decline trying to pretend to relevance and for matters that they simply no longer have especially after break that and frankly with brags that i'm simply waiting for them to say oh it was a russian bots fault and we accept it only so everybody there's a list of initially i'm waiting for them to cancel this. eastern european partnership is a more concerning matter what's driving this is an atlanticist ideology to the year olds. and beyond and that this is an ideology of geo political expansion in the

e.u. is focused on expanding its borders are there not really we're going to be there not at the tossing a human version for ukraine as well not yet right and they know it's a definite it's hardly its point how do you weigh this summit i think was really. because they in the final statement they required member states strategic communications which would be by god again countering russian disinformation there you know you know that you're probably not pressing concerns don't fight an oddity ok and they required ukraine and mold or to fight against russian influence but they didn't promise even a remote possibility of your membership mr john called you don't care who are putting the summit said that this is not on day gender and what it is in may what she said what was specially if stalin and for me talking about atlantis is ideology she said we should not underestimate the enduring attraction of western society to

the post soviet state well we should not even underestimate the urine attraction of prince mohammed bin so i want to thoughtless friedman notified them attraction should be underestimated but it already of course to the people there thousands of lives the ukrainian disaster was actually the result of east. eastern neighborhood should be you if they were the main drivers stop them. settling just trying to we are the prime ministers of all european countries the e.u. countries have to meet and spend these in those discussing. it with the poor people here i mean you know where the mouse that roared here i want to change gears or something very important was going on with this being. a live thinks will be held in the south korea in two thousand and eighteen in that looks like there are. again on the agenda is to push russia so. the confrontation between can you call the

worse you know rose up again between the united states and russia the americans have started pushing the zs doping to accuse the sions and we know it's the americans and it's some of the canadian airlines they are pushing these building accusations against the russian olympic team we've seen this in one thousand eight hundred but then they were more honest the blame the soviet union for dogging the just said the world there is a war in afghanistan that is why we are now being to come to moscow and we're not going to let then you or ellis come to moscow and then in one thousand nine hundred ninety eight when he was leaders in lhasa in the early but today we can have a situation where there is that healy no hard evidence by why the. door pink or a state sponsored doping there's there's a person who is actually under investigation for fraud in russia his name is good which of course who is now under witness protection in the u.s.

he heated to committed crimes exist yes he tampered with the evidence in now he's participating in all these propaganda exercises against russia who wrongly you know sort of there is a man here he's been flipped yes yes there's a maximum and minimum programme makers want at this point the mixing will go all used to have the russian olympic team banned from taking part in the olympics just before the presidential elections in russia is sort of embarrassing russia this way in the media will call is to create such a near where sadness fear where russia is going to have to fight for every single athlete and for every single you know sports team in that the one pick competition to participate. if it will actually sort of law is there anything in there like their ability when you have all this of course is that the olympic games are to be the gold standard. competition well ok and the very best of best and all i see is

this again extension of this propaganda and what kind of winter olympics can you have without a russian team which i think i went through a long picks where western nations went hockey that's where. i mean i doesn't give you every single gold and silver and bronze medal in that because you'll never know if you were able to compete against the very very best we want to cover some more ground here mark you've been kind of quiet on the olympics tell us what's going on and nobody will see you all right and we're going to get some different opinions you know we've had a bit of what i consider an extremely embarrassing incident in the lugansk republican as it is which is basically just the city of the guns and their own yeah one third of the actual guns republic that is free from this west back which forces the nominal president of the self declared republic which pinsky to someone

who. i think it would be generous to say he has the charisma of a wet paper towel he has been involved in the. internal disputes of powers with the interior secretary in charge of the police cornets and this has resulted in what seems to be a change of leadership in the guns who are bad what kind of direction and we spoke on one hand it certainly shows the people of lugansk and there are the authorities there have more independence from russia than than anyone has been giving them credit for on the other hand it's extremely embarrassing to them and it shows that there's a very chaotic situation there and it bodes ill for you know the west pushing ukraine to try to settle the matter militarily but on the other hand clinton was not really loved by anyone and we may be better. off with him gone someone more charismatic like the hard go and done yet his equivalent in guns might lead the

gun through a little more this well i think that. you know the west was very disappointed because the press that they backed reported that you could point needs to be an all star went to russia that's the dream that they all go to russia that's hash tag fake news but it was fake news because point needs d. is going to represent will go asks people's republic at the negotiations can means from now on. i think what happened is indeed not very good but the reason for it i'm sorry but these are the actions of the west because they did not allow gonski and to have elections they have been denying these places the right to have elections since two thousand and fourteen their idea. is that first would have security which means having ukrainian or u.s. troops on the border the border which means total brigade because since january ukraine is not supplying even that it turned what they call it for three years if

you want the saudis have done to yeah they knew exactly where you want to do the thing these republics get their food and water and electricity from russia not because russia wants to you know to feed them but because he of course got all the supplies you know and if they had elections they would have had a more legitimate government with which such things would not be possible but also please bear in mind that actually the enemy speaks the same language they watch the same television as you did this is a civil war they went to the same school with you so people are. not because they. call words but because the enemy is the same nation the same people as them there is a list of their views and saturday to a very important piece of this in this in turn a confrontation that we have seen. were the worst week. single person was hear it or die and that's very different from what's happening in the ukraine for example

where people get shot where people were politicians go human rights organizations turn a blind directly would be right i wish it were politicians are being mean and killed and arrested and held without bail and without trial so that's a very stark difference and also we have to keep it in context that this. people's republic is where just several million people live there are tens of thousands of people have died over the last few years because the ukrainian forces supported by that were supported by the united states supported by the e.u. have conducted a massive campaign with bombardments of civil and there's really of. all the schools one civilian and interesting you're saying president poroshenko is killing is exactly. right i run out of time fascinating discussion many thanks to my guests
