of is that thing, then bundle of a sheet that we want it and then then bundle of issue with it as what you had option. but to fight it was i don't know if you were to stop it . you know, there would have been a lot of interest that was the time it was getting well. so the option but why we're going to fight that then back to the want. we still tried everything at the end of food, but it cost a lot and then we had broken pocket on a bomb. i think of 90000. so it was a that's why it was a great today. and let me tell you about the question that stood by that in and out of the will be in the now i think it would probably agree with

me that for russia in the military operation is unlike any other. and it's clearly have traction cycle tone to it it's, it's very hard for any russian to see what's going on in ukraine, regardless of whether we support or government decision of whether we oppose it simply because of the human ties within countries and the questions i want to ask you as a military man and this man all strategic mine, it me and know dated question you politically. but i think emotionally and historically still very press. what do you think an operational like that would have been avoid it? i think a little bit of historical background would be essential when the soviet union collapsed. if i think the was the been american, but they could give me a short president, but that they would not expand what it is to us or you forget. and then then, now i can't believe well,

which will probably be the publics of the union, which are members of the wall. so i couldn't, you know, in the big and the last line of defense that, but i sure maybe you had the buffer as russian, maybe you had. well, you could judge you. oh, no country is black. i like, we don't have the amount that i would like as a guy. so quite obviously you will be a the rest of that. right? right. so you will need from a state that was what i understand. then in 2000 in august, we're at the conference in which it was decided by the american will absorb the story, frankly, on. so that was the time that the russian, that said, these are out of that like, these don't cross that. and unfortunately,

the deadline was crossed. good. yeah. and then the russian went into action. in 4 days, they had to fight up the door. russian b robinson captured about 567, all 50. they're looking to hold for a defense the next, the location game. when people beat, then young, risky. yeah, the russian president for the odyssey a, well, i know once again, that was all. you could join the russia. i said, you know, you're going to join nato. and you know, just the, i'm that of any of the soviet libby and then back to, you know, they again, rush out a food and then you know, the militia and then there was

a light. ok, thank you for this very brief overview of history. it's hard for me to find somebody who actually knows the context of our little neighborhood, but i wonder if i could be here probably for reason. he was not even in that abstract intention on the part of your brain to join nature. but the very practical and farming of your brain with all kinds of armaments. and the question i have for you is whether you believe that native countries, the west, was pumping ukraine. this happens precisely because of the calculation that russia would never, ever allow self and military action against it for historical and human reason. that the greatest american know when it becomes funded

for me. and let me tell you what you said, you know it and this eastern expansion of mental as being a tragic mistake george gave on all to. but when i made i did, the american actor fight a rush. i believe we have a movie have a pension or so are you serious me? i'll put it you know, last year in july there was a big out of minutes be exercising your grades in which american troops on this plan will participate. this lead, you know, you claim to believe that if it was shot it over on the ground, the door would, i would go like, nothing of this has happened. and i personally,

frankly think it, i mean, bottom, all, all for the united states will push. you're going to fight that i should, but i should be i and then leave them. i would write this, i'm on school. i think the russia will, the last your credit for that i thought was made in december and december, there was a major a b by, you know, the united states have been the but i still go, you good. and, and the united states website was a ship, a, b, b, all these were provocation, the americans a part that russia is b, b, i, b, economic, b, w,

a r b. i personally meeting as a but if you're starting of it, but it is the minute to the when it comes back to us, which i you know, as well as i show as now this, that the united states padded and bubble across the, especially with the s 400, it can carry out and be accessed and then i got to stop it out and i fact medicaid is in no position. i don't wanna rush as back. you know, this is actually a very interesting point and review anything. most technical analysts would agree and weapons analysts would agree that russia has a logical action over the americans right now when it comes to strategic governments. but it seems that the last try to, i keep russia where it's for the most my actually coming ever closer to the russian

boys. we've come to national at weapons and all the churches that were traditionally considered by russia as you know, cars or if not territory, but at least you know, it's historical landscape. so in a ways it was also a cunning move. don't you think that to trying to try to turn the crank and i guess russian as a way of i'm to mining rushes, logical superiority? no, that is precisely what i'm saying. that it is in the convention that russia has not only close the guy, but in that a lot. and you see russia already has the edge. so $1300.00 plus you can run it by $1500.00. all your blood pressure has the form that i put on the lights. i. russia has an edge, you know?

yeah. but the critical thing is the a conventional weapons which has been a russia why. what is the right, you're not going to mention. it says best father. well, and you see, i'm not saying, i'm not saying a lot of good this. american thank you said trying to bring georgia and you're going to put a little while scrolling. all the dodge get out, expansion was a mistake. the is fraud expansion, or i think you read the bottom of this and not as is being made out of the western media a desire to recreate the soviet union. well, generally we have to take a very short break right now, but we will be back in just a few moments state. ah, mm mm.

in ah. oh, is your media a reflection of reality?

in the world transformed what will make you feel safe? isolation, whole community, are you going the right way or are you being led somewhere? direct. what is true? was his way in the world corrupted, you need to descend so join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah

ah ah welcome back to will support with retard major general of the engine army, editor of the indian military review. generally, actually, before the break, you mentioned the russian president, and you recently made a point in announcing the celebration, put in to make a clear declaration of war,

of the kind that used to be a don back in the 19th and 20th century. he essentially went on public media and announced that to russia and the rest of the world was russia was going to do obviously you kind of read his mind. but why do you think such a declaration was important to him? you are absolutely right. it's a very interesting, you're starting to look at it. the fact is that if the all i've gone, i'll go, well, i went out of fashion after the 2nd world war, we have not received a declaration of war. and the point is, you know, when there was a problem, you know, they, they were like a conflict graph a point. but that was what i mean that it matched. and number 2, there was no ostensible declaration health problems. and i know that, well, oh, maybe understand,

i understand most of the i've been on the 1st on the 2nd floor where there was a good displacement, but it was a lot of in against some of the more just, you know, just the for this board for president, i'm back on there. and then the 3rd game and then we can spoke to why did and then he had asked for the russian order, but it's just that there was any john we did. he saw that. he says, yes, it appears to be something that's not a b, b, b, a y, a u. and we'll discuss all good discussions. i'm no, i'm pretty good. there will be no change. well then they'll go. i think that's

the address that has to be a lot. now if you have it often there's lots of outreach in a western world in media with regards to russia's actions. and as i said, this is a painful situation for many russians to win on taking it easily. but one thing i, you know, after covering many words in my journal is to korea. one thing that i kind of understand is all the moral and ethical outrage over still a limit that military action in ukraine when the western audience has been all but aloof to all the bloodshed that has been going on in the world over the last couple of days i think the west has trivialized and normalized war long ago. and my question to you is, why do you think people in the west of treating this more as something absolutely exceptional as the end of the world is something that has never happened before.

we're actually look at the map and the number of refugees, the number of people killed, the number of people in hunger and the number of countries destroyed. you know, this is the reality that has been going on for many, many years. let me tell you, when you're united, i backed it up. you know, there was a, a, what did you have a list of media. this had bad reference robots and stuff like that. it was well. and so the bitter came back to us. it all was to start the american road. when b medical, the fact you have a thing that can happen this country was again

a did you have a ben america? when did it off of the 2nd when the americans went in to ship with it? i mean, i can give those examples so i don't really what i do is right, a well i think a lot of people be about a. busy except the fact that you have russia, you have pushed it against the want it over to the i don't think people should be surprised. general, i don't know if you would agree with that. but i think over the last couple of years on the western russia have been involved in what i would call the end of history of a big americans in the former se secretary can believe arise. what we're trying to

tell russian specifically, fusion, that the cold war is over and the russia has lost. that is a specific quote from kind of lisa, right, which was surprisingly at the 2008 a. some is what was present and where georgia and ukraine were indeed very conspicuously given the green light for the prospect of membership. and in response to all, all the major talk, russia continued to says that whatever is the american view of history in the history process, russia still has it, strategic you are the interest on it will define that way. how do you see these a historical debate developing from now on a, the american geopolitical?

you said it was a resident by the react strategically. what was happening in the last part of the start of the european going to be the one of the arms control agreements we get with them. it's an actual feed and water less last elevate those, the world to go to the to take that as india, as we think the need to do to get it done. all of it. i think it's you say if you did, i that a lot, you know, on the leave a spread democracy. well, i part communism russia led to want to see as much of our democracy as you may have to be on the to be on any of the united states. a, you know, i was 2nd to, to them either. so how is it that the american democracy is superior to the one

of the, to the wanted it on a democracy on? well, by the pop of the people. so the point is that, i'm sorry, just a 2nd for the 2nd ball. if they want to get it from you or i think that it would be a bad word, right? well, but it doesn't. even if you also be able to do that. so we have to thank you. have a general, as you understand, such and drastic action that russia has allowed itself to t is bound to have an international consequences. and i want to ask you about a political context. do you think their international players will change the way they present themselves as defined their interest on the global

state? and in the aftermath of a operation that roughly on taking, you know, as a minute to study. and i see the end of the unit on the united states. we're the host, it was the phone for what the se is, the is the pollution of the, on the once again, people out of the global or don't forget the started off. and the 1st one, what happened? it was a my people are on the 2nd world war happened. it was a lot of people are. and now that we have, and i bet i think order list, you'll find the word water on words like butt. and we're like, what we have already done with it. and if the rest of the world is that this is

becoming very, i think the fire that as a reaction will be operation special operation. the rest of the problem have you all that. so you can all the sanction on russia. right. and the simple fact is, you would think that russia with, like a 99, you brought it to collapse and not it, but you have learned that, you know, right? and if the, when i say this are going to be easily, you know, escalade beyond control, good to go to exchanges and the like, which would be got us profit for the, for, can i ask you one last strategic and tactical question? because there are many analysts now that i'm looking at china and some of them are

suggesting that meeting will be presented with the most open to moment to take control over time. want immediately after russia finishes it's knowledge operation . and you bring precisely because the western ability you, penalizing sanctions on to china will be very limited and would essentially mean b weekend of the western economic dominance. do you think that's? that's a real possibility. you think that may come to pass on? may i remind you, you see history men are exactly the people that i could find when the cuban crisis happen. diana jones, that opportunity, you get a price to what i thought i did in 1962 a for a,

a possibility. and i live in the back room with the chinese on bed. i want them not to do this. the simple fact is that if the technical factors, if you need to do this because in the conventional and then you could, if you need it, i think on that edge or the united states. i like it would put us on the. but if we had one thing, and it's on backyard, i'm afraid china as off now. that's not have that been a good one. been over the united states. and the combination of against that intensive decides to take a look at it and up. and then you, i don't like bite on the what would be the effect of, you know, let me do that. see if i don't want to

do that. that's perfect. i think would be there because that are huge population invest in a abilities that would be what happens or . and finally general, i began our conversation by quoting the american general omar bradley and i want to finish it. another call of his american back in the ninety's was running on didn't mention all. got lee asked history one document to run down. god, how america should look like really needs to help us all to find common sense with mercy, strategic thinking, compassion and mutual respect. we are the main condition for lasting peace. i really pray for that. thank you very much for being with us today. i hope

you are sure i will do all the nation of the lord. i hope all is a good guy. well i think that has been like i'm sure it's going to be a accept that he doesn't want to join it out. if you had said this 25 days back, they would not have been all that destruction even now if we get a way out by the way, i'm sure this will happen and i'm sure we will be happy or time that i thank you. very interesting. thank you very nice, but reach out to our question. thank you and thank you to our audience. we're watching hope to see you again next week with

ah, it was a for when you have spoken in scott, i don't know who to support what kind of board missed the deal with the way. would it be a good news for you to put your good huge what your motor vehicle does was too

late to 3rd up up up for the day of school a pro that then you shouldn't have been really well just you said all of us on my way to late in this particular way. it pushes me in pushy, i get some push a somebody, see where we could put a do it for them by sure. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is on, often very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk

in the united states has always had a variety of tools, news and tags on other countries. economic sanctions are, are often just the beginning. another thing you like to do is place some military pressure on the countries that you're talking about and there have to be an effort to demonize that country and the leader of that country. ah, we have a responsibility for the whole world and we need to make room for the rest. because without us, there will be 2
