back with your world news time with my colleague. in the meantime. if you're watching in the u.k. or ireland it's renegade. hello and welcome to all things considered. washington's ambassador to nato threatens to take out russian missiles and the u.s. interior secretary threatens naval blockade of russia. finally being revealed.

cross talking some real news i'm joined by my guest here in moscow mark sloboda he's an international affairs and security analyst we also have dimitri bobbitt he's a political analyst with international and we have glenn d.'s and he is a professor at the higher school of economics originally cross-like rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want i always appreciate glenn let me go to you first here we have this k. bailey hutchinson the american ambassador to nato she had a little while she got into a bit of a scrap. threatening to take out russian missiles what's the back story looked at me. well the reason why she wanted to take out the russian missiles as well they're arguing russia is developing new missiles which goes counter to diana's treaty which is more of you were the former medium range missiles so but. i guess in her defense afterwards she did try to walk it back but in the process she actually made it a lot worse because her arguments are no it's not the first strike we're merely want to take out the russian missiles when i was going to we're not going to talk russian cities and this is quite astonishing and again this defense was also put

forward in the washington post which is quite extraordinary because the whole purpose of a first strike of course is to use precision weapons tactical nuclear weapons to take out other serious weapons of the country tell it is the second strike capability is the intention of actually attacking big cities to make big damage as possible because that's the deterrence of the other side want to first strike now. saying she doesn't really know what she's talking about all this to a possible explanation of what is the first what is mind boggling incompetence is the second would be. deliberate possibly propaganda in terms of essentially advancing a first strike policy but. there are very big. crisis comes it will potentially ambiguous just. what is going to the receiving end but it's not it's a it's much more than just a statement here it shows into. anality mark yeah i mean the attempt to walk this

back is is obviously second is it comes after the fact it's post facto because during the conference she said the need to take out these missiles and then she answered a second question from a journalist who said we're all x. well we're a little excited here could you specify whether you want these missiles withdrawn or whether you mean something a little more military and literal and she said well we would prefer to have them withdrawn but we have to talk about countermeasures if they are not withdrawn and she would double down and she said take them out again and i mean let me quote her here is my point russia needs to return to the treaty compliance or we will need to match its capabilities to protect u.s. and nato interests the current situation with russia in blatant violation is untenable demon well it reminds me of a phrase by a modern albright before the war in yugoslavia she said i'm not talking about war

here i'm talking about the use of force and then share that that's a very important distinction well i think this is very dangerous when you look at ways to do things in the now and then you thought ok i'm going to actually. not declared war and that. the united states without declaring a war in december one thousand nine hundred one that's what it is you know you use false without officially declaring war that's march warse then declare of war and attack another country so this is just very irresponsible and that was the reaction from the russian ministry of foreign affairs that the united states simply the u.s. officials simply don't understand how serious their remarks are what serious matters they're pulling you know ok let's let's keep going with syria's go remarks here let's go to ryan speaking he's the. the interior secretary. charge of national parks ok let's look at it. he's got

a lot more of his play here apparently the united states has the ability with our navy to make sure the ceilings are open and if necessary to block a need to make sure that their energy energy rushes energy does not go to market. a blockade is a war under international law this is twice in one week that states have threatened russia with war which is quite extraordinary but it also shows that. this is how well great powers often. it will behave a little behave it's usually. how they're able to exert force because the united states ever since world war two has been able to control most of the most strategic maritime corridor or so from need in here at my canal to to the malacca straits or the persian gulf so obviously during peacetime this is some way of you know having commercial benefit or moving troops easily or you know a good way of getting allies but during times of crisis or decline this is when you

essentially cut off a series from trade routes and try to starve their economies to death and that's what we refer to the most points and. again extraordinary they would threaten this against russia a small hand i think it's also a little. confusing to guess how domestic politics is influencing their foreign policy but i would point out that this effort to go after so many countries at the same time it undermines the strategy because again the main strategy or the main country to isolate for america would ideally be china i would assume given that they're the main really have other things. their fish to fry this week to european union announced that they would establish a common i can epsom swith in cooperation with china and russia to try to bypass both the u.s. dollar and their transaction system in so and of course the indians might want to sue in their currency as well there because obviously they're starting to feel a bit. well so i think the that is

a problem by trying to isolate everyone at the same time when they could be isolating themself and getting no that's the privilege which is exactly the if you look at american hegemony in the world it's not just the military it's the financial system and people are starting to move away from it and they're developing the value of the dollar first i'd like to say that dimitri i think that you are understating because the u.s. when you're talking about fracking because the u.s. mainstream media has clearly reported in the last few weeks that the only reason there is any opposition to the pollution and you know and protest against fracking in the united states is because of russian trolls i mean it's all and inspired i mean the people in pennsylvania and across the u.s. who have down bertie brown dirty water that you can literally set on fire and earthquakes big. drop. so i got your emotional shoulder what you want good because it was always there but anyway for the second

one yes. i think the belligerent rhetoric when we're talking ryan zinke bailey hutchison nikki haley trump promising fire and fury we're looking at it a truly ignorant and incompetent administration blundering blustering belligerently its way through a foreign policy and through destroying the reputation of the united states go team well the thing is that. the u.s. wants to isolate certain countries but ultimately it's i said when you don't it's a. little bit going to jump in here we're going to go to a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion on some real news stay with. when a loved one is murder its natural colluded and then we apprentice with the mother probe when completed will tell. more it is likely the russian sub russian sub or

two years churned the election in favor in his favor trumps james clapper the former intel chip said as much go further from the kremlin's point of view the best way to weaken our country is to increase the power of our most undemocratic branch you sent to me mark your reaction. i think this reveals the true intent of the russian operation to put the manchurian candidate trump into office and this was to take over the supreme court of the united states brett kavanaugh you know so i don't i don't really know how to take this this is pure insanity is a product of a fevered and delusional mind who wants to imagine anyone who disagrees with him politically like say the supreme court justices in the

united states if that was just appointed to him i have no friend of myself for political rather than say be your reason. but this is this is we are seeing such a stand he not only does he actually question the legitimacy of brett kavanaugh but many others here references the work and he says he the work he references in the article claims that all five conservative member and so it was really important are illegitimate i didn't say it's just and it's russia but. it will be easily embraced to the drinking beer. braised deriding that's ok i can go with that. there is another area it's called from there he is called and someone named kathleen hall jamieson who is a religion in the political circles of washington russians persuaded enough people in that right state. and we don't want the same they would have this revelation

from the us court that they can date in seven more russian intelligence offices so we have thirteen indicted a few months ago and i would have seven more drilling keep people persuaded three hundred million americans in the right states to walk in a certain way or she writes persuaded people look toward the top so if. twenty people could do that to medians then they are geniuses you know and who is we're going to protect it protect us from all of that jeff sessions you know that person of great integrity has been recused yet again he's a reaction to these news about russian indicted state sponsored taken and disinformation companies compete in sports serious thread stall security and open society by the department of justice is defending against them and of quote from jeff sessions. i had told him that he was still around it well and that they forgot

that james clapper whom who thought of this article john stewart quote unquote s. and now two episodes or of russians on russians he said that russian side genetically inclined to plan to treat and then to fear milligan he haley says more or less the same thing going to go edge of i think the reason why this is becoming a bit of a comedy is because this is the russia good thing it works i mean let's not let's not forget how this all started with the hillary clinton or so of course revealed that they were passing over questions around town hall meetings and essentially they colluded so. russia can really be blamed for everything and some of the of course the some serious cases but. it's going to walk into the colonies section is wrong because if you remember well my favorite i think was last week was blaming the poor star wars movie on the kremlin because you know the russian boats were out there one size fits all in the western culture probably my favorite of all. george

to start your kid through it he was accused of sexual harassment and essentially he turned around saying well. a lot of this online traffic is obviously rush limbaugh . and because he's you know being quite old well spoken about the rights put him took a personal offense to it so put is coming after him so he sent out this week to try to reassure him and run their friends and let me just reassure you that i will stand up against the russians are coming for me i will continue to fight for you so so you went from being a sexual predator to essentially being a victim and fighting for justice and so there are something like really good works that russia the model in the u.k. there were apparently was. slipped a rat poison you know and she made the cover of some tabloid to be fair the mainstream media obviously nailed this one on the head because they're obviously auditor monitoring my twitter account because i indeed posted a bit of review of the last jet i thought it was complete garbage it's not the one

we saw together no that was solo and i always said that the critics hated it so i guess by its title i like to make people believe that solo was a good movie it was obviously a kremlin bought influence operation me being one of the most well known kremlin influence bots i guess. is there anything that you don't like in the u.s. that you can now that neither agency of everyone and everyone else and claim that boris and natasha are responsible for it is the syria thing is that they are really you know all the claims of meddling in american politics at the same time the united states openly comics about meddling in the politics of countries all over the world iran is the best example of rudy giuliani. during the general assembly walked across the street it was saying you know regime change in two thousand and nineteen i mean it's there's no introspection there's no self or. flexion that's

bipartisan because nancy pelosi is talking to me kay as well and everyone gets behind you know talk of overthrowing the government in venezuela the rod you know the u.s. meddling is is ubiquitous and at the same time european leaders during the elections several european leaders not only use their state media there was extremely biased against trump but several e.u. leaders openly publicly in the worst hillary clinton how many of the minds did they bedell and influence with how many minds did the tell you prime minister convince with with his endorsement of hillary clinton how to vote for her again in the world there is no evidence of their core claims that after two years but you know ok let's suppose i am a person who believes the mainstream press and i should believe that two russian agents poisoned the script on the fourth of march and then somehow the border with

the poisonous substitute you know the substance and leave that until the twenty seventh of june was used by two homeless persons in another town amesbury then i am supposed to believe that's a statement from the british foreign office that britain for the first time identified for cyber attacks as russian sourced they include attacks against the key of metro desk airport russia central bank and now institutions in the u.k. the russian central bank that you vest their cues in russian intelligence or they can not only british and dutch and american. objects you know including. nuclear fuel when you get three in to protect your data are they saying that the russians central bank is an object of u.s. influence with. someone and i don't i mean you're really there is time magazine at the end of the year is going to be the russian but you know that's the this. why

would you is there western media declared that we were in a building that the chairman of the russian central bank the best central banker in that wall there was a very fine if you can i did go right. and then the russian hackers decided that i think immediately after the cold war there was an interesting piece in new york times i think was in one thousand and three it was one of the leaders of a national government for democracy one of the sponsors of democracy it isn't here specially made argument a lot of what it did during the cold war covertly couldn't be done over at least in the name of democracy so didn't even have to hide himself in more so since you see a government which isn't what defined the us democratic then you can do whatever you want to topple it like you're going to be a. government funded ok here's my deal with the we'll get it they were they were fearful they were a few people there would a loser fighting and then trump flipped on it would not go over might always make a good argument for promoting democracy but i think at the heart of it the problem

is that it undermines the entire concept of international law because in international law there has to be reciprocity i mean if i give up my for flexibility you know this it he will expect the same from you so the problem here is of course that the west you know the stewards of democracy you can then say that no this is on the us because we're the marxist so we can go and topple governments or you see that legibly russia through wiki leaks exposing that the democratic primary was rigged by hillary clinton the d.n.c. that that is a legitimate act of democratization. and all kind of was. going father over. political theory he made the argument that he was concerned about the west after a cold war because this is not they don't. consider ourselves good because we're to do but we consider of good because we are right and essentially so we can in this episode yes we can this actually. we can topple the critical elected president in

ukraine the. way to promote democracy it will still be over here since the cold war when and where as it were it's still waiting even when i think there is an important exception and that glenn mentioned it saudi arabia we had the there are sorry yes but we can't actually various statements from mr trump last week i love the king sound so much i said but we're protecting you you might not be there for two weeks without us you have to pay for your new tree and the quote that is mr trump to the changing of democracy and prince said what he meant her own prince said i think it was very revealing what you said we buy everything with my knee i think that he wear it because they not only buy with polio we also buy good image because just by. prince been so months actions that western press is not

critical of him we will remember the whole foremost freedom was exhausted worn out by a long complimentary interview with the bears but you know ok gentlemen with that a very embarrassing moment we had on this year many thanks to my guest here in moscow this is the end of our broadcast segment stay with us for the extended version on our you tube page see you next time and remember cross talk rules. join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

you ask the sonic playing to this idea of the u.s. dollar reserve currency empire they've built over a post world war two hero rarely gets into debt to the america and pays homage to america china russia iran africa mame and they're all saying now we want markopolos of payment trump wants markopolos up they want to go for it we want to trade

directly bilaterally we don't want to be part of the globalization anymore. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten thousand dollars fine tempi each dish. eighty five percent of global will be loans to the old for bridge eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trees per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrials but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need.
