or staying with things military the turkish president is pushing ahead with plans to buy a russian s. four hundred missile system despite the threat of sanctions from nato ally the united states president to erdogan accuse the military alliance of double standards let those who criticize us for purchasing the s four hundred to fight terrorism look at themselves why are they silent about the s three hundred which greece has and they tell us that this is a wrong step what kind of alliance what kind of solidarity is this when nato has repeatedly urged turkey not to buy russian weapons earlier this month a top official stressed that the s. four hundred does not integrate with current nato systems the s four hundred would give turkey a new level of control though over its airspace and beyond it's a surface to air on to your craft missile system on counting gauge up to eighty targets out of telling distances of four hundred kilometers it can also hit fast

moving targets travelling at speeds of almost five kilometers per second well international relations professor hussein by cheap to listen to and needs russian weapons more than it requires western support. we live very interesting crisis between turkey and the united states of america in by literal terms as well as in native terms invited through terms i think the turkish position to process four hundred is. from the turkish defense policy point of view russia seems to be one of the possible partners for future despite the fact that this type of missile system is not applicable to the nato structure but since one thousand nine hundred one first gulf war turkey is always in need for this type of new structures nato does not provide. a lot sorry stories are lacking this sorry to

5:39 am
follow in welcome to cross talk we're all things are considered i'm peter lavelle both the united states and russia have been announced their nuclear weapons posture both countries are in training a new age of war the age of hypersonic weapons we were told the russians hypersonic weapons can render us lead missile defense systems useless can. washington allow this to stand and are we now in the new arms race.
5:40 am
across talking hypersonic wars i'm joined by my guest george samuel in new york he is a fellow at the global policy institute of london and author of the book bombs for peace in lake jackson we have daniel mcadams he's the executive director of the ron paul institute for peace and prosperity and in london we have married a chef skee she is a columnist for the independent and the guardian all right cross talk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate mary let me go to you first here are the reactions to president putin's address to the joint some bully. parliament last week was like a thunderbolt for a lot of people and of course that was roundly condemned no context was given except for the russians are bad and aggressive behavior that's what we hear all the time but the fact of the matter is and i'm sure this applies to everyone here and many of our viewers if you look back at. for example in two thousand and two when the united states unilaterally moved away and dropped the anti-ballistic missile treaty the very foundation of arms control speed up to the munich security
5:41 am
conference in two thousand and seven read that speech read the speech that putin gave to the general assembly the united nations in two thousand and fifteen and then we have last week what i'm doing is connecting a lot of dots anyone that's paying attention understands perfectly well what's going on here ok mary go right go ahead. well i think that everybody sort of thinks that they understand what's going on but one thing that they certainly didn't understand or at least i felt that about the british reaction was that they did not understand that putin is in an election campaign so i think you have to understand that this was a state of the nation speech given in the context of a russian election in less than a month's time and it's all very well for people in the west to say oh it's not a proper election no putin's bound to win and there's no contest and all that is probably true but the fact is that there is a campaign and putin needs to get his vote out and i think without that context the
5:42 am
picture is incomplete but if we go back to the actual substance of what putin was talking about and of course the spectacular visual effects that played behind him i knew i watched that speech live and i knew what the response was going to be as soon as he was talking i knew what it was going to be it was going to be about a new cold war it was going to be about russian war mongering and it was going to be about a new arms race and yet if you read very carefully or if you listened to what putin was actually saying he was talking about russian security he was talking about the american unilateral application of the missile defense treaty and about how the united states had been developing that particular branch
5:43 am
of weapons technology defense technology and russia had decided and had now achieved its aim of catching up very well i mean i don't think the election playing really has anything to do it is because the speech that he gave was supposed to be given last december. but b. they were interested paving the nuclear posture review and they held it back so with all due respect to mary i don't think it has anything new with domestic politics ok but daniel the but one of the things is that i think and i've been watching president putin from the time he came into office he's not one prone to embellish or to exaggerate as a matter of fact it's very straightforward and to the point here and i think this is this speech was a reaction they digested all of these military and security reviews that trumpet ministration has put put out and well the russians are putting their marker down and i think that it was it was and then i'll agree with mary i mean after all of the broken promises all of these new weapons systems russia said ok we can push
5:44 am
back and we will go ahead daniel. you know i think there is an element of electioneering and i think if it's not perhaps a somewhat more subtle but i can imagine that president putin has a lot of his he has a lot of vulnerability in a way on his right for lack of better term people in russia russian voters who are expecting him to be a little bit more responsive u.s. provocations to nato provocations on russia's border to us occupying thirty percent of syria illegally i can imagine that's where his weakness is if he has any weakness among russian voters people saying why are we sitting there letting them walk all over us so in that sense perhaps that is entering into his mind but otherwise i mean if that is the case how different is that than any u.s. presidential campaign where they all try to outflank each other being more much more pro-war than anyone else you know it george the a no in my in my first
5:45 am
question to mary i mean i kind of gave the lineage there it's really quite remarkable to me that how remarkable the response has been because if you're been looking at arms control and the u.s. russia relations over the last decade or so. you know russia is basically telling the united states that your threats against our sovereignty stop now and we have the means to react in very forcefully and it's called defending your sovereignty nothing more than that go ahead george though that's exactly right and that's why he. brought up the issue of the united states with the role from the a.b.m. treaty but there's obviously a more to it than that i mean there is also the nato expansion right to russia's borders and.
