to discuss these issues and more i'm joined by my guest george samueli in budapest he's an author of you tube or at the gavel and here in moscow we have dimitri biopics he's a political analyst and editor at you know just me internet media project telling us topples in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i was appreciative when i was going to georgia in budapest as i said in my introduction george you know during all of the rage of russia gate the fake hoax that the public had to go through during the entire trump administration that the trunk was too cozy with putin though when the new start agreement the last remaining major arms control agreement between the russian the united states his administration had very strong demands claim that russia was cheating without showing any proof and then we go in the 2nd week of the biden ministration and apparently the american position is completely collapse how do you explain that go ahead. well this is an excellent question because. if you recall the trauma administration.

imposed 3 conditions on the russians mostly said that there would only be a one year extension of a 5 year extension. it said that the russians had to 1 impose the freeze on their 2 nuclear weaponry. and so it would then and in all of these it did months the russians said. i've said i meant to mention and they said the chinese had to take part as well. the russians said no to all 3 and. 3 and i was at and then the people came in and as educate all of them said they went for a 5 year extension they said they didn't say anything about the freeze and they dropped the demand about the chinese so the russians got everything and the amazing thing is that the u.s. media to make the comment about this i said earlier of this is this is good you

know chose by means doing things they can only imagine i said if it had been trumped would just simply accepted all of russia's the month but i do think it's important to emphasize this is not any kind of a signal that the by and it ministration intends to pursue friendly relations with russia i think there were various reasons why they caved to these russian demands of the something we're going to go into but basically for the 1st time since the start of the cold war the russians have developed a strategic superiority over the united states and this is caused great anguish in the united states and they need time to catch up so that's i think the reason why they decided that that well you know we've you know we need to sign an agreement now whatever the condition of the russians impose i mean. deamon there is a george just got to jump on me because i know that's exactly where i want him to

go skeet because we have we can jets opposed to this immediate agreement to russian demands on this very very important arms control agreement but at the same time demon this is the 1st administrator shouldn't since the end of the cold war that is coming out overtly aggressive towards russia it's a very interesting dynamic going on here agree to this arms control agreement being extended but at the same time we do know from late the readout of the call between putin and biting is that they went through the litany of hacking in and all of these things that you know and it involves russia's involved in domestic american politics so we'll talk about the new bomb the situation the 2nd half of the program so it's a very it's very odd mixture isn't it well it just shows that evil has many faces i mean you're going to get crazy you know what a waste will be just on the way and it's just amazing you know trying to negotiate

he's special envoy for nuclear talks marshall being silly he came out recently with criticism by then i think it's the 1st criticism that i am reading in the mainstream press it don't just 24 hours for by didn't you to squander most significant leverage would have all what russia beating sleep tweeted and it was scolded by the water drawn out which is already a victory because you know an open trump support without criticism in involved you don't know what i would just explain that it will be top of your what george just said you know this egremont was signed in 2010 and it would cap on the number of warheads the 2 sides can have it's about $1500.00 and yes i make and so i'm trump made this new month 1st you know basically mint can be extended for the period or up to 5 years but you can extend it for one year for 2 years for 3 years so. well it did stand it for just a minute here on a very tough condition which george just mentioned you know that china would be

included china with its tiny $300.00 warheads would be included and the and and also russia would have to put a freeze on all of its nuclear development trash of course. refused because. the united states has just you bought one huge new clearly element program which is estimated at the amount of money that's official be to be in of on point $2.00 trillion dollars and bond on the 5 trillion dollars they would have been used to teaching ballboy you know that go into krav minuteman me silas replaced by a new buddy stickney's silo in the course of the next 10 years that was going to cost at least one $100000000000.00 and they already had a plan you know to maintain this me so i do you wait to solve them 70. minutes would cost as another few $100.00 so audience 0 dollars so what i meant was

just you know by having just quote too late the things to be and he saw that it was just too expensive so what he suggested was ok we keep pressure on russia but let's make it to be cheaper you know ok let's retain the agreement that we have right now there was a position to it from 2 crazy people bob was john bolton who said that the united states was given up on its you know superiority jumbo above and the other one who was a new up who is now a deputy secretary of state and it just shows you know people can get crazy in many ways you can be a tough american nationalist like trump or you can be a liberal interventionist like by them that their results is the same huge danger and possibly 'd a new war that would and i await the mankind you know it's very interesting george that again the what makes this even ministration different than others is that we have some ugly. jake sullivan. in

a position of great power and these are in plain can as well these are russian gators ok they would they propagate this hoax here so as we have worried over the last years that this hoax would seeped into policy and it is seeping into policy. the apparently during the readout of the the 2 presidents the conversations the the the afghan bounties was mentioned which was completely debunked by the the us military but it's still in the discourse right here so we have this we have this russian gate mentality bleeding into policy here so it's going to be very very difficult because then there are critics going to turn around and say that you're being soft on russia instead of being good on policy go ahead though that's a very important point 2 because you concretely have meaningful ounce control. 1 1 without a general policy of detente any which is why the control policy treaties

of the 1970s a subsequent in the 1980 s. were a success because they were constant also of a general policy of rapprochement so back in the seventy's when with the signing of the salt agreement and then the negotiate that was sold to agreement that was at the time in which there was a partnership between the united states and the soviet union and why the united states played it didn't disappoint us on the message policy there was indeed a polish ip on sorting out of global problems and. ending the war in vietnam. negotiating a peace settlement in the middle east and 1 signing a variety of very important treaties including the chemical and biological weapons conventions and so on so that was a. probably shipment control 'd were part of that now the the biden people and of

course it was the same thing with obama before that where they think they can we could just separate control that's a good thing we'll just have lost the joke but we will assume of these hostile aggressive policy in other areas level us it doesn't work. that out of the troll just fails and which is you know why the obama policy sort of an obscene troll agreement with iran in which you know iran gives up your reign even richmond in return and the sanctions went no at because obama didn't visit this as part of iraq or from with iran so that's that 6 with the biden mentality because they all to syria all stop policy in other areas towards russia so i think this this extension of new start up will ultimately be doomed if it deem it remains to be and to be resolved insists if this can function in a in a vacuum because if you look at lincoln's. testimony from during his nomination

process i mean the. extreme. liberal interventionist i mean talking about continued nato expansion georgia was focused on considerably quite a lot of leaves talking about democracy in venezuela considering what's going on in the united states here i mean this is just a blast from the past and we know that there was a change of power in 2002016 for because a lot of people were sick and tired of these policies now in the way where we're back to the future here all over again it really shows that these leads don't understand how the world is changing and these elites are demanding the maintenance of american have gemini when that that that moment of gemini and the unocal moment is long long over i mean they're swimming against the but the current year go ahead . well i just thought and you know a gorgeous. absolutely right you cannot have a real design movement without good thump and that reminds me of the state she

traced with the soviet union in the late aegis you know when we've had this excellent ambassador from the united states jack matlock. i think he's leaving to a trade you're right now because you really believed in the united states and went to hear the president of the united states in the soviet union it was a different country so you know now he's seen how that country is destroyed by a you ideology so madly when he was asked by russians in the late age just ok we have these geneva accords which have what is there that prevents us from having a good relationship and you know from bugan you accordingly and you say that the soviet union has to change in society it has to be caught and you can treat if you want to hire will join asians with us and we became a new country the same story with the united states no you cannot have obs it's not actually an ounce reduction to what happened was that the it greed to have a cap on their m.o. and to walk and so that they that they can have bought obviously you cannot be

a peaceful person and proud of the. biden hesse i mean victoria nuland is personally responsible for what happened in ukraine she said if that's. the hand of the new government that was recorded and she didn't deny it but again he spruced on that are responsible for a lot of thanks table thinks that happened in the middle east ok you know what i already know what you're getting that are great and there's a bit more tricky to get your discussion and some real needs. but the damage no certainly no borders and is not to last another 2 days. but you play as a large number 30 we don't look like seeing the whole world cleats to be.

judged as coming a crisis like this system to intimidate. we can do better we should be. everyone is contributing to it your own way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenge is great the response has been masked so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we're in it together. to. show small seemed wrong but also holds just don't call. me the ultimate yet to shape our disdain to come out ahead and in games from it because the trail.

when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest on the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. tyson nation for community. are you going the right way or are you being so. direct. what is true what is faith.

in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the death. or remake of the shallowest. well so much across time for all things are considered i'm about to remind you we're discussing some real news. ok let's go back to the here in moscow. a a figure a russian citizen has been profiled quite a bit in western media over the last few months and as we speak right now there are protests in moscow and i would imagine other major cities here and it's all focused on him a gentleman named alexey. who is not only explain to our audiences and explain why

western audiences are being told is not true. oh well 1st of all i would start my story and by the watch that there is nothing new under the song i lost my american viewer stool at the papacy you know the names like andre by beach key and you know andre sacar or under star was actually. fever but all of these tiny figures that just pop up and disappear you know the same story with no holly you know under it but because he was no less important to the united states when he was taken into u.s. from terrorists in jail in the ninety's and he was portrayed as hero and the united states says that if he's detained he was detained for a few days that means the trash or he's a bad country and we will want him were jewish and ship now in dubai because get off the cranium he joined russia. this development and he was booted out of the

free radio free europe next morning and though no one and then as they scare us what happens to andrea but. she is actually a very good job just unlike some of it because barbie is a professional she's a professional don't know how many is something quite that drunkeness not to open a figure she started his career asked sam why no minority shareholder that was his profession you know you have a big company and you buy one percent of the stock and then you make the life of the company an unbearable and you you your let go with a certain amount of money that was his strategy and he's very good at that and he did exactly that we've with the stage here because the 1st few spot of s. an extremist nationalist you know he said that he's against illegal migration there are too many more steps and more school he told them names you know that is already or that then he realized that there were many people in that market so he tried

liberal values like freedom elections and then he discovered that these nice was also taken by the older guys like you have those who have such a lot he's in with the west you cannot break it so he decided to concentrate on corruption and the problem is that you know these new documentary that supposedly millions of people have seen it is no 4 in a clot because it turned out that he used you know a. and you made we have seen it right it was all imbedded you know that that was doesn't get want to get. this story started 10 years ago it was lost i think by human it was started by other jonas but this is you know the strength to own a holiday isn't making scandals and made you know wife of people on bearable he's a classical radio he is a classical minority shareholder who makes the life of a company miserable and he did exactly that you know and he had price to each his

party and haven't you know he was to be at the same time at political emigre in germany who was filed poisoned by russia then she wants to be a political figure inside russia she wants to be a political prisoner and at the same time to be competing in their own prussia she has a suspended she has actually 2 suspended sentences and he was allowed to travel abroad to trail around russia in fact to campaign for several years although people were very dismayed by this because another person would not be allowed to do it but he had special treatment and off to here he don't or germany finally the same or wasn't quite as to other russian citizens in russia if you are on a suspended sentence and you don't show up. you know at a certain time you go to jail you know that's what happens in all the countries you are on probation let me let me let me go to george here i mean i'm assuming considering that his background and his behavior is that he wanted to he came back to be arrested so protests could start so western media can talk about their guy

in in in russia i mean it's so patently obvious i mean also the. only with that has some kind of western education he studied for a while in the united states i mean it seems kind of you know correct me if i'm wrong george exams like saakashvili it sounds like one white dove it sounds like this is the kind of scenario here that's being played out go ahead joe. yes that's that's exactly right 3 a dream is given an excellent summation of the funniest korea. he's role is to provoke trouble in the in russia i mean that's that's what his kids who go handlers in the west and visit for him they don't really and visit him as organizing any political movement because they know that he doesn't really enjoy any kind of support within russia and it's

a lot of very tedious hard work to build a serious political organization that can compete in the elections so his role is to provoke trouble within russia know its hold demonstrations for which you know seeks official permission up the police come they break up the demonstrations the western media to film all of this and then the western media portrayal of this and the usual western voices screaming at the top of their voice is that of the crackdown fascism again in russia. putin is showing is is his jack boots and so on michael mcfaul is on hand to be on on every single t.v. show that's that's the who the how the west in visit is his role

in that i mean it's not funny we're kind of a serious political figure in russia if you had any real political weight we would have witnessed it during the whole constitutional referendum of last year i mean that was his is big moment i mean no it's not you can make an impact but in fact the constitutional referendum came and went it was a big success for putin now funny mate no real showing so so that you know that just shows 3 to one. what a fundamentally what a lightweight he is in russia but you give your be useful you and i have talked about it before i mean i'm i'm still going to understand it he's he makes the claim that he was poisoned by some kind of novacek agent inside of russia he was allowed to leave russia to go to germany for treatment he could maintain that claim and then we have for some bizarre reason what western intelligence are somehow confirming this instead of should have been kind of the other way around with his

the physicians that treated him and so he comes back to the country the claims that tried to kill him i deem it can you explain to me how that works i mean if you're being hunted down why do you go back in the country to torment you go ahead well obviously. it does not meet that actually we can try to poison him because otherwise he will not have return to such a dreadful place you know russia who want to just kill one him that he will be arrested when he returns on purely legal grounds like any other person if you always state you know. even if you have a suspended sentence and you will have brought that's already a huge gift from the state especially during the been de mint you know when people cannot travel and then you always state that period and you want to return and because of no holiday now there are sanctions imposed 'd on russia. that want to free us they're going to try to phrase not steam to project which costs hundreds of

fans more that that that that forbidden palace that becomes seen on that on television so for all of patriotic russian you of course not only is more harmful than than any pale as. corrupt officials in russia he costs more money to the country. and i would continue on what george just said if no one had real support he would ask for air. legal demonstration you would be given permission at some big square in a more school at some big stadium he was offered that you know he's just you know what i'm for that but you know he would have a 1000000 people that would make an impression the problem is he doesn't have a 1000000 people so he's people when they were offered legal squares in russia in moscow they refused they said pushkin square well if you're so pushkin square it's basically a tiny space on both sides of the main street almost there sky at where dissidents

ages 7 just used to have small protest actions like 6 or 7 people right arrested by police so it's famous historically but it's not feat for a big demonstration so they didn't brickley want at the kalash with police you know they deliberately wanted some people to get the rest up and and yes to make these publicity in the west yes it will be bad for action in position because yes not only is because of the number one figure on the program lease he's unable to make a nation's he's an absolutely dictatorial person you know she is way is my way or highway even though given he will just try that but if you can you address the issue that. some of these protests we saw last week they brought minor children knowing that there could be violence here is this an intentional act to get more western media. with small children i think are going to be a main reasons about where the teenagers who come i can tell you the reason why that come they're not there with the older generation but even people who they were

stooges and forward yes they remember how the theme of privilege of sparty privileges was played out in the end of the soviet union and col shamelessly yeltsin used it and then in the ninety's with corruption in one country dime swartz then the on out of the soviet union people remember it so these chicks like belgian has a mansion next to the black sea they. i don't walk with the people who have a needle experience and who have a need to know to chill russian history but for the teenager. boys and girls 141516 years of age they don't know that so they watch the vidoe they may join each other a lot of these dog and other social networks of their grown up people tell them oh it's going to be cool it's going to be interested in going to challenge the police you know come to the pushkin square it's going to be fun and they show up thinking

that it's going to be fun because we cover much scene but he's violence and we haven't seen real street violence in russia for many years rush essentially a watch more peaceful country in that sense than france or germany and also look at the context you know or kate the west is so enraged about people most of all to come out of moscow to pushkin square at which moment in france you cannot go out after 6 o'clock in the evening they have a curfew of between 6 pm and 6 am in romania 300 more they. are most out of time but george i guess when do you when the obama administration had pussy riot as there is a sarah get in russia the biden ministration will use you know me gentlemen would run out of time i want to play my guests in budapest and in moscow i want to thank our viewers for watching us here r.t.c. in x. time remember rustam rules.

izumi d. a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. tyson nation community. are you going the right way or are you being led. away. what is true what is faith. in a world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a maybe in the shallows. a. secret prisons are not usually what comes to mind when thinking about europe however he

even the most prosperous can be deceived within the 0 song there were 2 view houses were allowed to leave prison was located only cia people had access to the story for investigators sure hell they uncovered the darkest dealings of the secret services but i mean. the great of nor in. hockey seem a bit sore knee for. crying for justice on r.t. . the world is. no dares thinks. we dare to ask.

if you between the e.u. and a british vaccine maker intensifies with a branch in germany proposing a penalty is about astra zeneca gives the u.k. 5 french will prevent. it. but. what. unrest breaks out yet again and friends are very security bill giving extra powers to police officers themselves say violent troublemakers are avoiding prosecution. and a norwegian cultivation calls for black lives matter to be given the nobel peace.
