this is something that they would want to do like and the same applies to ukraine and ukraine is really a. baiting way i mean he was there. on ukraine. and he was very involved in the post-coup regime and of course you know the whole story about. how much he was making in the ukraine so i would think that that is a personal project of bidens to try to push russia to be a crane and try to fuel the war. to increase the likelihood of a more intense war between russia and ukraine and the overall project i think of the incoming biden team will be to make life as difficult as possible for russia and that i think will be driving force both in syria ukraine corpus which is anything that's giving russia headaches is good for us and i think that's what is

the driving there really care that much about syria ukraine but just to make life as difficult as possible for russia well let's say might weigh in on that and you know i mean obviously it means that these are. points of contention but what does the u.s. get other than just annoying russia and making sure that that violent relationship remains and happens i mean is that the ultimate objective and so in it seems to me that it's very heavy and it's quite all in its not really or in policy going. well i will say that i agree with that with that with george when's that and i did syria no ukraine are mostly kasuri integrated. due to answer your question i think it's important for the united states to. work this very dangerous precedent that many in the in the washington think that russia is trying to set by challenging us dominance on the international agenda and i think syria in your brain have both been an issue has made life for the obama administration

a lot more complicated. to answer the very question i and i think turkey comes as a very important elements to actually potentially both great in syria and as far as especially the black sea is concerned because there is a lot of at least from what we've gathered from the public statements. from the continent ministration that the united states is in line with the church's position on it. may be offering some some kinds of deals for the transfer fred it's issue so that these are potentially very tough issues for russia to deal with. and when we know the trick has been a very important partner for foreign agents of the united states during the soviet union but after becoming. a party to power in the early 2000 and turkey has just shown a lot more willingness to play kind of its own game which concerns the united states

and frightens europeans i think but is also i think it a very complicated issue to deal with russia you know in the west they frequently doubt russian turkey relationship is a marriage of convenience and what if we continue with this matter for let's see the for now russian turkey relations is very much dependent and they did in this marriage which is you know their power plant the turkish stream and the if the military deals. the there are low a lot of disagreement that's when a last one on the slate and i think this is one clue which where the administration will be very much willing to exploit ok another question actually a number of viewers about me going to glenn on this one here what is the future of russia u.s. relations during a potential bitin ministration a is it isn't going to be a reset back to obama i mean why to be his change on the international stage that

over the last few years can you actually do that and in again to towards what end i don't see the policy here i see more of a knee jerk reaction to punish the headline there are just differences like to make one comment to regarding to syria policy which is that while regime change might not be possible anymore and the us been very open about a subject that was just the u.s. special representative to syria james jeffrey was are open about purpose of this job which in his words was now to create a quagmire for russia in syria so. the regime change it seems to work and obviously this has nothing to do with democracy or human rights it is obviously had to bleed out the russians in syria and what we can internally by extending it overseas but i would agree that there won't be that much change the russian policy i think not everything or often out of question with anything on the u.s.

president i mean was there ever really a benign approach to russia so by the has been great changes in the world the respect they have are by far trump which is the world this now returning to great power politics us that unit polar moment fades away and the us was somewhat have to adjust to this now biden has stated that america is back to to lead wish seems to suggest going back to the vote obama age and seeking global dominance but this will not be possible as simply the world has changed. and there are some key components of u.s. global hegemony especially in the ratio you have russia in europe china and asia and iran and a middle east and these will be the main enemies of washington no matter who is at the white house that being said i think at some point washington must realize that going after everyone at the same time nearly sent to us as these countries to come together and i'll against the u.s. so there is this argument even from this in schism that the u.s. should really. it or accept

a role for russia in europe so rethink the post cold war security architecture. otherwise it will merely here to bring just hours together so any u.s. can end up isolating itself so there's this difficult to say how this will work out i think come along point bit by has been our leading russia gator so he has promised to team yes collating tensions with russia that leads me to my next question you know to georgia your question here will we ever have any closure on spygate russia. and will anyone ever be held accountable for think segway georgia. the onside here is no. i think that given that. the incoming byte ministration will want to sweep everything under the rug given that biden himself is very much involved in russia gate he was involved in the team meetings that plotted the entrapment of trump people

we know that he was there he was the person who apparently suggested using the logan act against michael's lead he was personally involved in an unmasking plan so biden will have every interest in sweeping everything under the rug and that's why i think that. was failure to at the very least publish a report before the election is a grievous because that me is that we really will never learn what happened in russia gate how this sphere knowledge operation on the truck and they took place how they set up to keep people how essentially a coup was plotted by the obama team and whenever the find out about it and and i think that that really is really the last thing at that out of bilbao

are a terrible attorney general you know maxine let me ask you has a russian watching this all play out over the last few years and it has obvious policy implications and i think the people that designed and implemented this conspiracy did not take that into account and i think that was a major mistake and they should be held accountable or but you know how do you see all this next because russia gate the hoax has nothing to do almost nothing to do with russia and there's hardly any russians involved i mean i was a russian looking at the america. it's played a sharod here how do you feel about how do you react to it i think is a very dangerous actually policy trap for russia to to to have been sattar in u.s. domestic politics and this i think that issue when biden was a lapse it's or and there was some really short lived hope in moscow you know finally russia will now be back to its kind of usual places of foreign policy

adversary or in the longer be a factor in u.s. domestic arcs and i think that hopefully for a few weeks until the new scandal with this cyber attacks acking took place and even though there are some you know informed arguments that even if it was russia it should not be mixed but the cyber espionage. as opposed to cyber attacks there is a great concern in moscow these days that this again will be kind of framed and actually dictated by policy towards russia over the next 44 years the problem i think here is that it actually is very the russian gate is a very well how shall i put it very nice thing for folks in la and washington we have to have because you know if the look at this the military and the the government have asked for more money and for more regulations. it's

a perfect story to distract american voters from from the damage and from other kind of domestic issues and you have the elites kind of a united iraq and some issue you know both republicans and. russia is a threat that should be countered so i think and also there are little economic costs very senior to china and you know that these chinese policy bullis is to where china happy to be more calculated because you know it's obvious economic die. you don't doubt that is a rush so you can you do you can punish this much as you can without having domestic repercussions and of course they're irrational. so here's a yes right ok you've got let me go to the break russia. well i think now that. takes power so that the good news is that some of the incentive for going

out to russia is gone because it was used as an instrument of buying or that had a chop saw while he was very much committed to russia being the source of all evil i think you know the incentive to bring it into domestic objects is still some extent also i think that's a pretty good it depends if you get anything done domestically that he has you know the the blue suit in it you know in foreign policy that's the danger cry gentlemen i'm going to jump in here we're going to go to a short break and after that short break we'll continue answering questions from our viewers stay with r.t. . an entire village in alaska has had to move if another country threaten to wipe out

an american town. we do everything in our power to protect the. water they escaping climate change poses the same threat right now alaska has seen some of the fastest coastal erosion in the world we lost about 30 feet. 35 feet of ground in just about 3 months while we were measuring. happiness the river isn't very close to the town that was near or i think we're part of america 1st for. who. is your media a reflection of reality. in

a world transformed. what will make you feel safe from. isolation or community. are you going the right way or are you being lead somewhere. direct. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a maybe in the shallows. and then as tight as possible don't push it will. mean you have australian they will. give me time should come to the nearest union. and. the best of the silent studied political interests insist that you must play the needs of

seems to me. to decouple me started you need to go to church for this new look like a loser well that i don't see a pretty chilled older sister when your choice to be on your way out it will show you so much to be able to buy stock or go out of this thread through the coke with full attention you. point a few that beautiful at them. or you never. you know it would seem. to put so that the new. blood cult. but their ambitions. for. gas najam shots just but all. those egypt goold. b.s. that when you're in the water with your the biggest loss we're going to see it in it will bite us duck. just what does lead to speech could you will know when you are going in the store usually says.

well the magic crossed up we're all these are constant i'm purely bell to remind you we're answering questions from you our viewers. ok let's continue with our viewers' questions here with the question will trump be able to stay involved in politics and run again in 2024 or will he be removed from the political landscape and like that be removed i think is open to interpretation go ahead george it's an excellent question because he obviously intends to. stay involved and to run again in 2020 for his health obviously permitting and he's 74 years old so 4 years time is 78 so health issues are obviously going to arise

the obviously intends to do this and will probably announce that he is running on inauguration day however there will be forces powerful forces 5 seeking to remove him as the questioner suggests i think the republican. the republican but the establishment hates him wants to see him gone they hate the kind of populism. and hundreds of vention is stance is populist economics which is very much against republican orthodoxy and they want all of that done they were caught flat footed in 2016 much as the democrats accord flatfooted in 2016 and they are going to work very hard to push him out. and of course there's the democratic party establishment namely the various states attorney generals who may well bring criminal charges against him the biden d.o.j. may try to prosecute him so nothing in any real hope that they going to win but in

order to make difficulties for him you know to tie him up in endless legal battles so it may be that he will launch a 3rd party i mean if it seems like he's not getting anywhere within the republican party the mitch mcconnells of the color rose and the bushes and everybody is trying to keep him out. of. party of his own you know maxine you know in the think can see if trump stays in the public eye which he will one way or another as a active candidate or just on the sidelines with his powerful twitter presence but i mean do you worry that in his involvement in public life continued involvement in public life that this whole russia game hoax will continue even though it's been completely debunked there's no forensic evidence behind it and as you rightly pointed out in the 1st part of the program as it is you know pearl harbor a cyber attack which it is never no one has given any attribution whatsoever it is

like it when it went well during the debate you know joe biden said you know 50 foreign policy experts you know debunked all that and i mean how they didn't see any evidence they didn't receive any e-mails they didn't have access to a laptop here i mean so that the moment my point is and it can trump state or if it's actually as these days in public life do you think that this is a hoax will be continued and it could it motivate and influence of biden foreign policy reason be russia will it i think sure the short answer is yes but i think it also depends on his particular rule and if you are already seen that is something to do with that you know boosting some of candidates that he lacks force in plazas in nato and that in their runs were congress that's i think obviously is one area where the things he does you're talking about may be exploited if he's to start

kind of his own media something that is also discussed in and kind of do this a lot of this information warfare on his opponents and both republicans and democrats actually i think that actually these 2 may be ducked is he not russian propaganda and that meant as sociate it is and i think so i think in both cases there is it's a significant and objective tensional for his presence and be continued for a. as you know as a russian influence also i think it's a lot depends on whether he's actually going to participate in the politics that's helping some of these candidates get elected or is just you know doing this kind of information warfare on he's opponents you know it was. sorrow just that this is not a very great victory for biden given that. america is about to enter 4 years and i cannot make pain this will be very few years for us and people will blame that

ministration top of that when you have this large portion of the something i mean are some formula people want to come believing this was stolen a lot of the reasons why trumka let's begin with a lot of those horses will really come back with a vengeance now i don't think he will be reelected again but i do think that trump is and will definitely survive and. you know glenn you know staying with this topic here. it seems to me the hoax has to have an after life even after trump because there's something called. and there's ukraine and it seems to me that the with that with this ply and media and supporting the biden engender or the biden harris or harris biden however you want to define it and that they will refuse to look at these stories here that could be potentially damaging to the president because of his son's behavior activity and the likelihood that he was aware of it all the way through and maybe even a recipient financially from it here but that that that would be the way to keep

the oxygen out of that story in keep it focused on russia gate and and is as we well probably all expecting that you know the jury report will be just pushed aside so if these questions will always be open and that is intentional to keep things open so there's something to talk about or said otherwise things not to talk about headline. yes so it will be the worst for russia i guess if yet if you continue to hold this window open because. i think if biden would decide to step down because of any health reasons maybe you could get over it by now he's going to there are the republicans will definitely use this a ukraine scandal hold it over him and i think you by and by doing so the media will play off and darrell wish for the last few years back the democrats and not

really hold him accountable so in and this will end there at the cost a little bit that the republicans will see this as being a further illegitimate government. and then the democrats again will accuse the republicans of criticizing biden that this is a. pairing water for the kremlin and we're going to have this in a difficult polarization and i think that's. right back into the domestic politics of the u.s. . this is not a good position to be with me i know you have that is that you know the visual narrative of the folks there is that russia wants to bourse itself american domestic politics but he has the right to do what doesn't want to be rolled into it ok that's the amazing irony of all mr george another question here now supporting why we write mean they just grooves and he's like syria now ghana's and in the name of democracy don't you think it's pretty well that the mainstream media in the us are so afraid of the american right mean well it's not really fair would be right and part of that means your me when i take

a stab you know i think what the question is saying is that this pretense on the part of generally you know liberal elites that this horror of horrors that this threat of right wing religious 6 fundamentalism extremism in the united states while at the same time. thumb serving financing. and so on these exactly the same kind of forces and much worse because they have these aren't really truly violent forces elsewhere in the well i mean this started of course with ronald reagan in them with them which i did but even before that tractor i got about of the british and the americans sponsoring islam isn't in the middle east against the secular leaders such as. egypt and so on but it really kicked in with reagan's policies but the mujahideen and then it continued then the icicle

sponsoring these these exactly the same type of islamised and in bosnia and kosovo and in chechnya now and you know we're not have at this in in syria and libya and then of course a variant of that in ukraine so i think the question is absolutely right there is something very hypocritical by constantly posturing that this is this terrible thing over you know religious extremism here in the united states but it's great else left just like you know the new york times you can pick up link copy of the new york times without something some story somewhere writing about the holocaust about naziism or about fascism but when it comes time to for a vote at the united nations to condemn 2 not islam in the glorification of knots isn't the united states votes against. it but that that that that is not its baucus that you know max you know we're looking at it from the russians perspective

here is that if we look out the the middle east has been transformed in this century alone is a. secular regimes have been targeted by the washington consensus i mean it's consistent going out there secular regimes which of course is an juxtaposition. you know fighting the war on terror i mean it is actually it's borning these groups that are in. in the bin are actually against the democratic process because you have his man who won a one man one vote what's ok i mean it's really quite remarkable you know democracy promotion from the west on the ground it is exactly the opposite well if india is also going to be all systems the problem is not just that are targeting that it is secular regimes they're also targets in the 1st state to it and have a look around the state who are in the middle east or maybe you know. 5 or 3 states

in the in the in the meaning that we think of states that are there others are just very either fragment it or you know. very simply family absolutely and. and but also it's the issue of how these going to impact you know the promotion and those were for the right wing movements abroad and hell equals back at home i think i look at it as very much just kind of communicating rascals you know you support the radical movements someplace and say in the middle east you know that they did then a war and then the refugees come into your home countries and then the risk and its domestic uprising and among the right wing artists against this refugees did you know that they go and vote for right wing politicians i think. george mentioned you know that that you know jackie and us were for the discourse in afghanistan to defeat the soviet union which came that to haunt in $911.00 another atrocity is

in the terrorists are also this in the west and i think this has to be a very important historic lesson to bear in mind all. right and i'm just saying i mean i i know russian is about i don't remember which rambo film it was was it rambo 3 or something and you know they they're fighting with diminishing the team ammunition so why divide to directors bank that can be good if you know this i do. reverse or upside down or inside out everyone is really could use their right gentlemen and i have to jump in here we're running out of time i'm very happy that we answered our viewers of questions and it's been a delight to see you for the 1st time in the new year remember. which. seems wrong. to me. to shape

out these days. and in danger because the trail. went to find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. this is nothing like football. it's not a money spinner but it is expensive. mended some dangerous. this is the speedway. and they have no brakes that's. some.

welcome to the max kaiser financial survival guide. looking forward to a year that's without. yanks this is what happens to pensions in britain don't let this happen to you watch kaiser report. has changed american lives but pharmaceutical companies have a miraculous solution. based drugs people who. believe that their prescription is working for them and the remedy. to. the. dependency and addiction to opiates to long term use that really isn't scientifically justified and i'll study actually suggest that. the long term
