and so we're going to forget about all of those things and just stand on white privilege and say oh really to us i know where she is and she wants to stand there i'd like to just say thank you notes and to mel hill for for what she said i just supporter as a michigan state alumni i want to say go girl does a female back in thirty minutes with more than we do with us. it's been seventy years since the united nations that don't to take universal declaration on human rights but in many places it remains a declaration and not a reality how to bridge the divide between right to this preaching. during the past thirty years lebanon has been subject to six invasions from israel

. six invasions. practically every every five years we are having. one that's and this is definitely to come up to help level. what is described in the west as a russian invasion of crimea is a fact the presence of russian soldiers in crimea can you clarify that. they could have to go to a bully is typical of a quote but the most of the most go full of the could and. as long ago as eighteen zero four sevastopol as naval base became the main military port of the russian empire on the black sea. during the second world war the heroic defense of sevastopol lasted almost a year and took hundreds of thousands of lives. therefore

the naval base in crimea has a legacy of historical pride for the russian black sea fleet as well as being of huge strategic importance. those of us alive back then remember when there were soviet missiles put into cuba how frightened americans were and how angry and how we almost went to a nuclear confrontation over having weapons of that kind of destruction placed that close to the united states. just so if the united states considers cuba to be in its backyard. then crimea lays at russia's doorstep. the consequences of a u.s. seizure of the face or a nato base which in general. but almost a sum up a symbol. is a little. i taught me to. put you in with

a. poster a and you know unless. you know it's not just but with practical. opinion it's. so honest that it just intimate the users into the support that we. know in a sense that ended up with the old me the only leader on the. it was a piece of wood. just him up about i.q. . but they're both saying on the phone fixed amongst the windows me with the suzy it takes to make. a national system. unless you mean it's not. supposed to in the beginning. we would saw it in the response. to me because you knew seemed up and you know look it when it's just about in the us both. to play in the in the lead you disappear you know

the same so send them. up on the back of the end. of the leg a little in those and when you see what i pay for by senior night and you can. die i am concerned about the expansion of nato nato has expanded into thirteen countries up to the borders of russia thirteen countries at the time what was going up. in the ship way not. c.s.a. during the mission. in early spring of two thousand and fourteen eastern ukraine was also buzzing with protests against the new authorities in kiev this region with the population close to russia geographically and culturally feared that the ultra right leanings of the newly formed government would bring meal nationalism to their lands. and they had their reasons. the status of the russian language in ukraine has been

a stumbling block for many years implementing russian as a second state bank which was one of the main campaign promises of president bush in a full day in two thousand and twelve the government passed a law making it the second official language in the southern and eastern parts of ukraine the areas where the russian speaking. in makes up a majority ukrainian nationalist groups initiated massive protests opposing the law and observing viewer might see some familiar faces there on a five month. part of our last. on february twenty third two thousand and fourteen the very next day after the regime change the new government voted for an a no meant of the official status of the russian language and even though later this decision was vetoed by the acting president alexander turchynov it still sent a message and

a powerful one this alarm the russian speaking cities of eastern ukraine and people took to the streets to show their disagreement was in response. conducted their own demonstrations when the two parties would meet it was always tense and eventually it led to tragedy. one person died and over fifty people were wounded in clashes during a pro russian march protesting the new government in kiev. on april sixth the crimean scenario began repeating eastern ukraine where protesters seized government buildings. and the next day the full seven day proclaimed don't yet see people's republic kiev replied by announcing the beginning of an anti-terrorist operation in eastern ukraine. by that time the international media was screaming about

a russian invasion in ukraine russia could now be on the verge of invading ukraine but strong words state only in the media the ukrainian authorities never announced a war like situation why i.m.f. cannot give money to countries in gauged an ongoing war that's roboto shango. when you go to your showable go to geneva too much money was already invested in you. to stop halfway i've invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic train. starts in the city of. new democracy just. some of them but obviously the funds had to keep coming and the conflict had to keep going. and more bloody and deadly. so nice. as parties from

both sides were using more sophisticated and lethal weapons. that's why you know. the unnatural way. to deal with. you know that's really kind of. the world seem to busy welcoming this new democracy in kiev. to notice what was being done as it spread its wings over the country. many in southern ukraine had been viewing the revolution with concern. and an anti mind on movement formed in the city of odessa in early january two thousand and fourteen the protesters set up their camp in front of the trade union

house a building which would soon become a monument to a massacre of its own it's difficult to overestimate the importance of odessa it is strategically located on the black sea and it's ukraine's largest seaport it's not surprising that ukraine's new authorities were watching the situation unfolding there with growing alarm. more and more of odessa as people were joining the anti my don movement at the same time as events in eastern ukraine were heating up. the new ukrainian government didn't have the power to wage war on too many fronts if odessa were to join the growing uprising in the eastern regions it would seriously complicate the situation. this rebellion had to be extinguished immediately and at any cost and that cost was high. on may second two thousand and fourteen soccer fans flocked to the center of odessa city for the ukrainian championship match

surprisingly a great number of these fans who descended into odessa just the night before also turned out to be fighters from the my don self-defense units along with members of radical organizations from all parts of ukraine that these. law. these families and asked armed and shouting nationalist mottos began disturbances in the center of the city as they marched to the end time i don tent encampment where they attacked. the end time mind on protesters sought shelter in the trade union house but it was a track down supporters started throwing molotov. cocktails into the building until it was engulfed in flames. people burned to death inside for trying to escape jump. fire station was less than a mile away it took almost half an hour for firefighters to arrive when they finally did the damage had been done.

but here's an intriguing fact just a few days before those dreadful events a messenger from my don on be made a visit to odessa it's an interesting coincidence that some of the people he met with in odessa were seen at the scene that fateful day. but not everyone was mourning on the popular political talk show schuster live the news about the people burned alive in odessa was welcomed with a long round of applause for you. to see just to just put it. on its facebook page the right sector announced the events of may second a proud moment in national history an official investigation into this sad event

has been going on now for nearly two years and it's yet to reach a conclusion but it seems the experts and all the information they needed from the very beginning which i. really keep. it looks like odessa really is a very important piece of real estate as it was on earth with a very special new governor appointed on may thirtieth of two thousand and fifteen . really old friend of the united states and born and raised in ukraine. neighboring country ga. ga a quick look at his biography gives one an understanding that he's been groomed for a special mission. mr saakashvili received a u.s. state department scholarship and he worked for a new york law firm which represented the organization commodity

a group that appeared earlier when we learned about the color revolutions and we're dealing with democratic blood blister aleutian this is the revolution of roses and this is me kyle saakashvili with camara busy overthrowing the legitimately elected president eduard shevardnadze. was. soon after the rose revolution blossom fully george announced its intentions to join nato and plant fresh nato military bases in the fertile soil right on russia's border never ever will give our freedom and independence never never will give any piece of our territory saakashvili is mission was accomplished at least with his friends and nato the georgian populace wasn't quite as happy though in two thousand and seven they took to the streets to voice discontent and mr saakashvili responded with force. the people's discontent.

saakashvili party lost parliamentary elections and the opposition took control he sat this means that the parliamentary majority and new government the president. mikheil decided not to wait for the results of the president's election and fled the country in october two thousand and thirteen. it's been seventy years since the united nations that don't take universal declaration on human. rights but in many places in to remains a declaration and not a reality how to bridge the divide between practice and preaching. you know world of big part of newton's laws and conspiracy it's time to wake up

to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you long to be rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar

a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one the one business show you can't afford to miss the one and only . in two thousand and fourteen saakashvili refused summons to appear in court as

a witness in several criminal cases later that same year he was accused of misuse of power and embezzle. saakashvili wound up in the us and soon his friends in washington found him a new assignment. mikail actively supported my down and very soon was rewarded with a high position in the new ukrainian government first as the president's counselor and then as the governor of odessa the day before taking this position he renounced his citizenship to georgia the country of these birth and became a ukrainian citizen. then the suggest others gordon could have done in the way explored that road in the cecil. gordon got it done in the way explored that road. as they say the battle is worth the blood both literally and figuratively. now do i not somebody affordable by the us out to class now tossed off on me on no

crying i'm a salmon dealer he relates a chest but i have a cut on those nasty she's up to date on the my seal of geoffrey pyatt the u.s. ambassador to ukraine paid a visit to saakashvili just a month after he took office in odessa it is law is the last administration is delivering results. you're going to see a steady flow of embassy in washington visitors coming here the meeting was fruitful and geoffrey generous. no matter how well saakashvili is job goes it looks like he shouldn't be worried about his own finances on his facebook page he posted an official document showing that the new governor of odessa gets a pretty penny from washington almost two hundred thousand dollars a year for comparison the governor of maine gets seventy thousand dollars a year so if odessa became a new u.s. state it would be at the top of the list mr saakashvili should feel right at home

in his newly adopted country he is best of friends with fellow color revolutionary leader viktor yuschenko who is the godfather of his son. and then other mothers called us in the russian lucia presents officially at the post a blue walk us kind of being it's just. them the one out of. even though there's a double. when yours to the but the least of those three is if i did it with you but i'd have to stand on the issue of this boy business dinner should we get another of this on. justin you and your buddy others are the butt of c.n.n. and the special because bone is not suitable to contain such. a war once launched doesn't choose its victims we are just learning at this hour that malaysian airlines has now confirmed that it has lost contact with one of its

planes plane was indeed shot down by a missile while flying at a high altitude over eastern ukraine near the russian border two hundred ninety eight revised number of souls on board all feared dead it was a murder it was a crime there's been this odd nonchalance about pursuing the answers there was a record a very limited report put out a few months after the event but since then they said the next report will be on the first anniversary of the event but you deal with a criminal investigation before becomes a cold case so there's been this curious element of why is there not greater pressure from both the media and the the western governments to answer these questions but even without any answers the fingers were pointed immediately that's not an accident that is happening because a russian support evidence indicates that the plane was shot down by

a surface to air missile that was launched from an area that is controlled by russian backed separatists inside of ukraine into these little bits of the earth and to put up a national into this test it's a question today kate of. the malaysian boeing wasn't the first plane to play a significant part in american russian relationships on september first one nine hundred eighty three korean airlines flight double zero seven from new york to seoul via anchorage was shot down by a soviet interceptor aircraft over the territory of the u.s.s.r. in the sea of japan there was absolutely no justified. haitian either legal or moral for what the soviets did the tragedy of the korean bowing was considered a perfect occasion to demonstrate the nato military power within dangerous proximity to the soviets on november second one thousand nine hundred eighty three nato launched able archer attend a command post exercise simulating a conflict escalation culminating in

a nuclear attack that was followed by placing pershing two nuclear missiles in europe. what reagan didn't take into consideration was the paranoid overreaction of the soviets. a recently declassified us intelligence report shows that for the first time since the cuban missile crisis the world was close to nuclear war. just like in one thousand nine hundred three the malaysian boeing crash was leveraged against the enemy. a new wave of sanctions hit russia mediately after the tragedy. the united states is imposing new sanctions and key sectors of the russian economy almost a year and three months later the dutch safety board published a report that is itself been plats m.h. seventy crashed because we have three well for. the today it is our side of the airplane avesta left side of the cockpit the report didn't blame any

specific group or person and estimated a very wide area of three hundred twenty kilometers as a zone from which the missiles fired at the same time the russian producer of missiles day conducted its own independent investigation. that they speeded me up the fullest. loue of the dell and. be nice to them during the experiment they blew up a retired airliner with a missile and came to the conclusion that the malaysian plane was brought down by the older to. type of missiles not used by russia anymore but still in the possession of ukraine the company claims that the missile was launched from the territory controlled by the ukrainian military. one would expect that these controversial results would again stir up public interest in the investigation but the tragedy of malaysian flight m h seventeen at already played

its role in the big geopolitical game therefore it was soon forgotten the goal was achieved after the third wave of sanctions hit russia the tensions between the two countries skyrocketed so the question presents itself are we truly witnessing the beginning of cold war two point zero and if so what are chances to survive at this time. in one thousand nine hundred seven the bulletin of atomic scientists introduce the doomsday clock. it represents a countdown to global nuclear annihilation. in one nine hundred fifty three during the height of the cold war it came its closest to midnight as the

superpowers were creating massive nuclear arsenal it's a story of america's ever expanding atomic weapons program as the world began to grasp the insane danger of nuclear warfare and took measures to control the arms race the situation steadily improved. in one nine hundred ninety one the doomsday clock was at its furthest from midnight seventeen minutes. the time of hope was short lived though as the world has become more and more unstable . but in two thousand and fifteen the bulletin of atomic signed. this is move the clock to just three minutes to midnight stay on check the climate change in a nuclear arms race resulting from modernization of huge arsenals pose extraordinary and undeniable threats to the continued existence of humanity. the united states and russia have embarked on massive programs to modernize their nuclear arsenals. undermining the existing nuclear weapons treaties.

the clock ticks now at just three minutes to midnight because international leaders are failing to perform their most important duty ensuring and preserving the health and vitality of human civilization.

join me every first week on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to get off of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see a bad. it's been seventy years since the united nations adopted the universal declaration on human rights but in many places it remains a declaration and not a reality how to bridge the divide between criticism preaching.
