neo-cons and you know saakashvili have no shame. cross talking some real news i'm joined by my guest mark sloboda he's an international affairs and security analyst we also have exclusive for he's the director and writer for the duran dot com and we have victrola which is a political analyst as well as a leading expert at the center for actual politics or agenda across how girls in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciated the review of the ricochet effect of the donald trump recognizing jerusalem is the capital of israel continues and we all expected that here mark i understand you've been mining the pearls of wisdom coming from that woman that has a ph d. in who believe studies nikki haley at the united nations i have to say that this stand up comedian that the u.s. is sent to the security council is even funnier than the last one although i know she's largely taking her crib notes she's got some some zingers that she's

extemporaneously advice that i'm going to receive all right so. nikki haley the u.s. has done much more to the u.n. i'm sorry. has done much more to damage the prospects for middle east peace than there were vents them we will not be a party that the u.s. no longer stands by when israel was unfairly attacked in the united nations when has the u.s. ever. and the united states will not be lectured to by countries that lack any credibility when it comes to treating both israeli and of credibility i think those are the key words so i guess the u.s. is not going to lecture itself being as the one that it's lacks the most credibility when it comes to mediating between the that it's so transparent here is that you know. there was the security council was called an emergency meeting everyone discussed it and we had. one country one united nations defending it i

mean it's been roundly criticized as we all expected it would be it is very very rare that an american president makes a decision that has absolutely no benefit for his own country and this is exactly such a decision this decision is not beneficial to the united states in fact it's very detrimental to the u.s. diplomacy in the middle east into the u.s. position in the middle east and the overall in the world i think you can even go further alex i think you know when allies are put into a precarious position i mean like it or not the united states and israel are close allies here but trump is actually endangering israel in much the same way that the american ally in the in asia south korea is being threatened because you know it donald trump is making a decision over their heads as it were in really defining with their security interests are which they are not. aligned is donald trump seems to understand how

the world of the world works i'm sure i mean he set the middle east on fire with this announcement and i just can't imagine how they're going to move the u.s. embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem without billions and billions of dollars in security i mean it's just going to be a complete mess it's going to be a complete mess but more than that i think we should focus troops decision that it was very much a populist decision we may all criticize it but when you look at the mainstream media and you look at a lot of the u.s. population there for this decision they don't know that the new idea when i do this is going to say they don't understand that you political absolutely but when you look at even obama even clinton they were for moving the embassy to jerusalem they just didn't have the guts to do it and here comes trump who just comes in and says let's do it and so i mean people in general the u.s. the public and a lot of the political class the mainstream media are behind this decision and they've expressed that they're behind the decision are. see something about why

clinton and bush and so forth who promises of moving the embassy and then do it the weight the pros and cons and decided not to do it based on the ones where they can't because that's why they don't have that waiver it was it was a get out of jail free card why did they make those promises they wanted to please the israeli lobby in washington but at the same time not do not make their mental decisions to the decision that their menfolk to the us foreign policy but what does this decision see about washington to be it says a lot about the rising of the israeli lobby in d.c. this is the only the first and foremost a reason why this decision was made now there's also the hearing is. that there's another lobby that's up and coming there and it's the saudi one here how does this work mark here because i mean rhetorical e of course the saudis have come out against this ok i'm not sure they're actually committed to it and maybe this is all part of a big plan for peace in the middle east which we know nothing about yeah i think

this is just the trump administration stepping over its own feet and and managing to unite the entirety of the world outside of the us and israel against it even in this case saudi arabia even if mostly rhetorically now i'm going to borrow from both. victor and from the u.s. government officials on playbook they love to lecture other countries officials from other countries that what they do is not in the interests of their own people well this move is not in the interests of the american people but it is in the interests of donald j. j. and this is why it may be. because he's in a political one right now i've got if you'll bear with me here trumps twelve steps why this was done all right so from one it distracts the mainstream media from the russia gate which aren't two it placates and please. as the foreign policy elite on

both sides of the aisle remember chuck schumer the democratic minority leader in the senate encouraged to do that and he's quite proud about that number three it plays to trump's domestic base number four finally ends the longstanding fiction of the u.s. as a neutral middle east peace in the good mediator number five it forces the arab regimes to remember palestine they'd all rather get really really number six it benefits russia at the end of the day as the whole world looks aghast at the us number seven it fulfills obama's campaign declaration that jerusalem is the undivided capital of israel i'm old enough to remember when obama promised that declared that during his campaign number eight it has the neo cons ready to declare him the second coming. it has at least some potential to make the fragile palestinian political roof occasion a reality number ten it's pretty much short

a restart a new into fatah a lot of it will result in the deaths of many israelis lebanese and even more problems than ian's and last but not least it's even further destabilizes the middle east and north africa powderkeg just like everything else the us does in the region. thank you for that comprehensive list and let's talk about the russia being banned from the the two thousand and eighteen olympics from south korea in my introduction as citizens politics is poisonous politics on steroids this is politics at its worst it's a combination of injection of. politics into sports and international sports its way. russian the russian team being banned from the olympics in south korea has everything to do with a new cold war being waged by the united states and its allies against moscow and very little to do with actual scandals let's say man but let's go back to the one thousand. early one nine hundred eighty s.

now in one thousand. more than fifty countries boycott it the olympics in moscow but back then they were more honest they didn't talk about any other use they honestly say anybody politics it easily is politically they don't like that the soviet union was in afghanistan and they didn't like that moscow was challenging the u.s. wouldn't you know wouldn't listen to american orders and they boycotted the olympics in four years in only so you must go to the scene with its allies and boycott the olympics in the u.s. and then the cold war ended and for about two decades the olympics went on fine but then you called the war erupted and we see this it again it seems to me this is like desperation throw in sports right now ok to isolate russia i mean i'm not an expert on this doping scandal or scandal if it's real or not but it for me

when i think of the winter olympic games i can't i can't think of it without what the one of the winter games superpowers russia being there it changes the dynamic completely you know all politics no politics changes that have a completely and i think politics has has found a way to destroy just about every institution in orchestration that we once thought was maybe neutral or was about peace or you know a fair playing field it's not and i think that's that's kind of the what sums up the trump presidency to me is even with jerusalem even with hollywood now and the sexual abuse skills even with the olympics all the basques are off we're starting to see everything very transparently and with the olympics anyway that thought the olympics was not about politics it was not about doping that the athletes were not doping all the athletes were doping. is a fool we know that the athletes a dope if you look at tyson gay look at justin gatlin cora lewis marion jones the u.s. had balco in silicon valley feeding drugs to every single athlete olympics. baseball

players football players everyone was busted from barry bonds to mark mcgwire took all of them were busted doping but nothing but the media will tell you the russians are genetically prone to doping that's what the media are just quoting the james clapper the for you former us the net is director of national intelligence who said russians are genetically predisposed towards to see things can you imagine that a statement being waged against any other ethnic group like in the u.s. and what would happen to an official you are so exactly well it's different for russians because most of phobias the anti-semitic but let's be christian most countries right there is evidence of that but this politicized move to be banned right.
