ah, ah, erase defense contractors find it hard to hide, they didn't live service for in profit, submit the war in ukraine as the white house in order to order for arms to help kids fight for its freedom. for mckee, official from new zealand lashes out at nato's aggressive policy of arming ukraine . we are willing to make sure to move, begin to new zealand to stop us being dragged into this war cherry, which is 92. we know what's reputation, we know dozens of in democracy, notorious radical website and ukraine, flex, hungarian prime minister, victor all been on the list of enemies of the state for refusing to play board with westman sanctions. with

hello and welcome to our international with broadcasting to you from our studios in moscow. i'm paula leah, and it's a pleasure to be with you by incident. joe biden is set to visit one of the main us defense contractors responsible for producing the javelin anti tank missiles. it's been sent and it's thousands to ukraine. the white house confirmed the news with press secretary gen psyche even detailing just why the weapon is proving so capable in the war against russia. for those of you who aren't familiar with javelin missiles, there are lightweight, portable shoulder fired anti tank weapon system that can hit targets up to 2.5 miles away. they're highly lethal and we've sent over 5500 javelin anti armor systems to ukraine, to support the ukranian peoples fight for freedom. the facility which by them will visit convinced $13000.00 javelin missiles last year alone. and while the president

expressed gratitude to the alms manufacturer for helping ukraine in its will with russia, the biggest defense contractors in the us have been helping they champagne coax to celebrate the huge prophets. the conflict is bringing them. yes, ortiz don quota with mal. where there's war, there's big business, looking to profit from the carnage americas weapons. manufacturers know that better than any one else. take raytheon technologies which saw dollar signs on the horizon even before russia's military operation in ukraine began. we were seeing, i would say, opportunities for international sales, the tension in eastern europe, the tensions in the south china sea. all of those things are putting pressure on some of the defense spending over there. so i fully expect we're going to see more benefit from it at the same time making money from people killing each other doesn't weigh on their conscience one bit. i think again recognizing we are there

to defend democracy and the fact is, eventually we will see some benefit in the business over time. everything that's being shipped into ukraine today, of course, is coming out of stockpiles either at the department of defense or from our nato allies. and that's all great news. eventually we'll have to replenish it and we will see a benefit to the business over the next coming years. not only is this endless flow of state of the art weaponry to crane, spurring the weapons industry forward. but the accompanying gap in washington supply is creating that much more of a demand spike. the united states military has probably sent about one 3rd of its javelin, anti tank missiles to ukraine, one 3rd of our supply given to them replenishing us stocks of those weapons would require 32 months. some politicians are even calling for president joe biden to invoke the defense production act that would allow washington to make companies prioritize government contracts to refill the countries javelin,

and stinger stockpiles and seeing est deals are what the weapons industry relies on . it would mean significant profits for these merchants of death. we have a significant usage rate for the stingers that we're moving over there. javelins also, and we have to not only be able to help the ukrainians, we have to maintain our stock. the cupboard is empty or it will be very, very shortly unless the president invokes the defense production act to provide that demand signal on an expedited basis. no doubt arms corporations are thrilled about the potential for a new military spending. frenzy lobbyists are already working around the clock, pushing for more state contracts to defend the country, so called defense industrial base. after all, raytheon and lockheed martin stock prices skyrocketed the very same day that russia's operation began. on top of that, washington is looking to send ukraine, some obsolete personnel carriers from the vietnam war,

which would make more room for weapons producers to fill the space left behind with new equipment. looks like weapons manufacturers can count on a lot more profits in the near future. while we can count on a lot more casualties. we have been flooding arms into ukraine. we should be seeking peace, rather than seeking to prolong the conflict. there are few ways of becoming wealthier, faster and easier than to start a war and to bleed off profits from of, from more, from the arms industry. tremendous drives by the, the war industrialists to produce arms and to, to create a level of war, hysteria that will produce markets for their, for their arms. meanwhile,

the british prime minister barak johnson is expected to announce a further $375000000.00 worth of military support to kid during an historic address to ukraine parliament. later on tuesday, he is also expected to encourage the country to keep fighting against russia, calling it ukraine's finest hour. the money is surging to kiss coffers white. now, the us senate majority also confirm the quick approval of jo biden's request to send $20000000000.00 and military aid to ukraine. at the same time, nation has started its 10 day chosen footprint. military rolls in europe, posted by 15, nato states and allied countries close to russia. 30 countries have been battled vehicles warships and military aircraft, along with thousands of soldiers. as you can see on the map, white 2 russians borders. form a deputy foreign minister of new zealand met robinson questions how the western military block came. russia and china,

all the worlds made aggressive while it's nato that has basses all around the globe, the history of the united states. you don't have to tell people who left in america, but the brutality and the violence, the intervention of the united states for centuries, the people have been as whaler, the people of cuba, the people who nicaragua. and now nato has also got a base in columbia and the dutch and the british, who still got colonies in those areas have extended night to nato's long, long ago, lit its shores. so yes, it's a terrible thing that they're trying to line up against russia. but on the other hand, the great majority of people in the world opposed to what the united states is doing . and i hope that in you, well we're, we're going to make sure that a movement begins in new zealand to stop us being dragged into this war cherry, which is later, we know it's reputation. we know it doesn't defend democracy. but we know also that

the russian government saying that they want the de la cation of the ukraine is for all of us. because the growing threat of fascist for nazi throughout the world is a real threat. and the what russia has done with the special operation, it's good, it's a good description of what to do is on behalf of all of us, it's not just for russia, is to wake people up to how aggressive nature lewis, how destructive it is to have to look at libya, its role in the book throughout the world and dismemberment of a few slabs. so rather than burden and the russian government have done us all a favor by saying to showing nato, we're not going to be bullied. and many people in the will and the majority of countries respect that fact that we're not going to be bullied by this aggressive,

the destructive country. which leads nature. we know the, the game plan as obviously giving lectures to mercer, they know all the documents from cannon through to vince fee to the rand corporation to the not native of community unit k of 2021 which sets it out to dismember russia dismember. i'll do that, but also of course in el paso, the will, we know it's same to china as well. so yes, it's a terrible thing that they're trying to line up against russia. but on the other hand, the great majority of people in the world also opposed to what the united states is doing when they would finance. and i hope that in your limits, we're going to make sure that a movement begins in new zealand to stop us being dragged into this war, cherry, which is later, we know it's reputation. we know it doesn't offend democracy,

technology, technological, however, nature expansion is back on the cards with both from land and sweden. now reconsidering the neutrality in the face of russia's offensive against a crane. europe is not the only sphere of nato's interest. some members like the u . k, are advocating the idea of using the alliances forces to protect, tie one from china. and that's just one of a number of contradictions between nature's assertions and the actions it tapes. as ortiz ego is donald reports. nato says it's many things. south korea and japan are close partners with nate, personal planning and emitted her presence in the waterloo may to is not a threatening intimidating or aggressive elias. no, i never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever. minister on tuesday. well, they certainly would like every one to believe this tale. but the inconvenient truth is that the u. s. lead alliance is actually none of the above. when it boils

down to the facts case, one, the book is north atlantic. it's in the name, with bases scattered all over the world, including africa and asia. nato is far more global than regional, and it doesn't even try to hide it. some vision to absorb new parts of the world. nato must have a global outlook ready to tackle global threats. we need to preempt threats in the endo pacific. working with allies like japan and australia to ensure that the pacific is protected. we must ensure that democracies like taiwan are able to defend themselves, protect taiwan, potentially accept finland. it seems nothing can satiate nato's appetites. but what about the other clay that the block is purely defensive? well, guess how many countries have attacked nato and sparked a defensive response, but how many were defensively bombed back into the stone age by the alliance?

ah ah ah ah, nato truly has a hawkish, shy for sporting threats,

thousands of kilometers away and defending proactively on the turf of other countries and continence as for unity, the alliance may not be that allied off rule. turkeys long being the rebel kid and nato's big family. like when anchors purchased, rushes as 400 ad defense systems. the move landed in a foul of the blocks till bras. some other member states haven't been to obedient either. it's good that europeans in the united states coordinate, but it's necessary that europeans conduct their own dialogue. we must put together a joint proposal, a joint vision, a new security instability order for europe. i don't think it's justified for germany and nato to become warring parties in ukraine. although we hung gary and gave our consent for this decision. we made our position very clear. that hungry is not sending troops to ukraine because we do not want to get involved in this war. nato's top mouthpieces have certainly mastered the art of pulling the wool over

people's eyes, talking the talk. they're the most peaceful organization on the planet. walking the walk, you stand a highly likely chance of having your home targeted by nato's missiles. if of course, you live in a resource rich country that doesn't play by the us. lead blocks rules. a radical ukrainian website. it's known for naming and shaming those if the enemies of the state has added hungarian prime minister to all but to its list. it's cited the fact that he's the only one in the u refusing to allow the passage of weapons for ukraine through his territory. the website branded, the hungarian politician and anti ukrainian propagandist and an accomplice of russian crimes. also, the secretary of ukraine's national security and defense council came hungry was informed of the russian attack in advance and once to take a part of your queen's territory. the move provoked an angry response from the

deputy chairman of russia security council, dimitri midvale, of but this rate soon enough, brighten european capitals, ukrainian. nazis will personally deal with any inconvenient superiors and will separate the lambs from the goats. i will decide who to exclude from the happy ranks of ukraine lovers tomorrow. so the presidents and prime ministers of france, germany, italy, and others beware. you are now under their suspicion senior research fellow at the global policy institute. george summarily believes that the e u is seeking ways to punish hungary for openness, desire to maintain good relations with russia. owner is victor or as distinguished from europe, from many countries in the west. well, in declaring that this fight between your brain and russia, hunger is fight. i mean, whole battle ready cause problems always played with the european union. i mean, the european union is not bringing action against him to fuse him any

funding has been trying to be more ways to punish or it's very important or hunger is national interest. that it may say good relation, russia, but obviously security reasons, but not bubble energy. and this is when hungry getting all of the energy from pretty much, you know, 100 percent of its energy comes from russia or maintain good relations with russia since must go into its war against ukraine. much of the world has turned its back, not just on russia itself, but on its culture to a new documentary. and he examines how the x has fallen on such a rich a stream of russian life. ah, for the 1st time in history, an entire country's culture has been cancelled with

a very modern weapon. cancel culture. nearly desert when the hula lucille mala sudle in when william fraud kit just me sitting there. i know it took the clue. the phrase now particularly refers to counseling russian culture. what rushes created over the past 1500 years is no question. partially condemned, reviled and rejected. to sit in line and use that to put something in the middle of brown. there's a lot closer. don't a whole bunch. thank you sort a little small. the list. joining total condemnation grows daily and now enclosed da staff skate chikavsky and chelsea coverage. a gluten with hulu. and you can see that documentary in full in a few hours time and i'll channel. oh,

head online to r t to come to watch it there you know, must attend to the hostile takeover of twitter is literally reducing people to tears. the social media giant censorship queen broke down during discussion of musk attempted purchase, fearing that his acts will immediately fall on her job ortiz caleb mauppin. expose what other challenges the billionaire is encountering as you also faces a battle against what some perceived as whitehouse propaganda. the billionaire was just acquired ownership of twitter caused explosions in the minds of liberals on thursday. he argued that the democratic party has moved too far to the left. i strongly supported obama for president, but today's democratic party has been hijacked by extremists. these words are just too much for some to handle. it's now 100 percent clear. that mosque is part of the g o p propaganda apparatus. he's the rupert murdoch of social media. i don't know

who are what's been brainwashing you, but wake up and think for yourself given his new purchase. this is an ominous tweet by a de la musk and a poorly informed 1. 1 of our major political parties has become a white grievance party that is set to renew, emanate and authoritarian pro food and demagogue who tried to stage a coup. it's not the democrats must followed up with me, showing the united states drifting further leftward. this was also unappreciated by many mosque has big plans for twitter. he wants to make it a maximum fun platform lifting restrictions on free speech. he also wants to open up the black box and show the public. the algorithms was being promoted and what's being suppressed. all of that is a pretty big shake up in the social media world. some of the responses got interesting. were foxes, real power came in is that they were actually able to work newsrooms and i think you on mosque really saw twitter as the best vehicle to do that. even if eli must does nothing. the one thing we do know is that twitter as

a vehicle for actually being one of the vanguard of addressing threats is no longer in play with moscow planning to cut jobs and executive pay. as part of his take over, it looks like the censorship czar. twitter who makes $17000000.00 per year could get canned, many recall how bad victoria good day looked on joe rogan podcast, defending what sounded a lot like a partisan political agenda. your platform restricts speech, our platform, promote speech in a specific direction in any direction. the guy who calls for death gets a suspension. the guy who insinuates that gives a permanent ban. but tell your, well, you're misinterpreting what i'm saying. the tesla billionaire seems to be the latest contender throwing his hat into the ring against the american political establishment and its political correctness. we should expect many punches to land in the coming weeks. caleb martin, r t new york. the indian prime minister november moody is on

a working trip to europe right now. it's his 1st visit to western countries since the start of the war ukraine. and comes against a background of ongoing diplomatic in fighting and pressure when you're ready to join the sanctions regime against russia. auto local correspondent has more. well, it is the 2nd day of ramen's turner in the more these 2 are in europe. this is his 1st international visit. this jo, yesterday he was in berlin meeting german chancellor aloft shows the result of which was a bilateral agreement to set up a green hydrogen task force. brands to more these visit saw demonstrations both far and against india. well, one of the key issues of the visit is, are the, are concerned about the situation in ukraine, in fact,

ramps, or more the has called for peace in ukraine. you can hear some good of the sound of the wall. we immediately called for a cease fire, and maria theresa, that dialogue is the only way to find a solution that we know when is at the end of this wall. everyone will suffer losses. that's why we want peace. and the price is the sky rocketing food shortages . the spreading is affecting every family in the world after germany. the next call for his tour is denmark for the 2nd indoor, not dick summit, where he will meet graham ministers of denmark for lin sweden, nor me. and i slant, and the last spot for his trip is going to be at least ballast where he will meet president emmanuel macro on after his recent re election. it is the 1st for an

indian grand minister this year coming against the background of war in the heart of europe. like the rest of the western countries. india has also been buying fuel from russia, even as the rest has been trying very hard to extract condemnation from india against russia. but what we know so far is that india has stayed neutral and has refused to condemn russia and has refused to take any dictation from the rest on its policy on russia and ukraine. one of the reasons is quite clear that india, like the rest of the western world, is low to the attractive discount. good boy, prices from russia. apart from the fact that india shares a historical partnership that russia, it is also one of the biggest buyers off russian arms and bench.

moving now to armenia, way more than 200 people have been arrested after thousands took to the capital streets for a 2nd day of antique government demonstrations. one report claimed 244 people who failed to comply with police. demands were detained, but tasters of furious about concessions they believe, are planned by the prime minister to neighboring as the begun of ownership of the long disputed region of no gonna come about in the south. caucasus activists blocked dozens of streets in the center of the urban companies to move in with force. they claim the current government has failed to protect the cultural identity of media as well as its people on the curve. the current government where media has been compromised of the war, they have no power to negotiate thought. so i think there should be a new power in their position to negotiate for also prime minister and the

government doesn't care about our nation. our people, what we wait for, we wait for, as i already told beforehand, a resignation of nicole clashing yard and the resignation of the parliament so that the new parliament will be and the new will leader who will be able to rule the country to protect the country and to protect our soldiers are obviously purchased were pretty active to the point. the armenians police forces felt the need to anxiously gather all of its forces in the capital, including from the outskirts and other regions. if the pressure on the priest which today is the only support the government keeps growing, they will not endure. a local journalist who was in the thick of the events earlier sent us this report a few days ago with charging her marching from her for c. o 2 with me threatening goal. pershing young dog. ne. lawns doing

regular person a. anything with government for handing them for a part and a half . don't have any information about our medium. it's all a great deal. pretty so freight does that stay in the street. well that's it for me in the news team here in moscow head to our website at r t dot com for live updates. thanks so much for joining us. ah, a

with ah. mm hm.

mm. mm. welcome to the for 20 years ago. press briefing about the absence of weapons of mass destruction in iraq. you secretary of defense, donald rumsfeld, famously other quotes about nodes, an unknown unknowns. and he's point was essentially that we do craddick, countries were morally justified about assuming the worst about adversaries acting accordingly. is this logic still at play in need of confrontation with russia over ukraine? will discuss that. i'm now joined by matt, have nella time director of the department of geopolitics and international relations at medical university in indian professor. it's good to see you. thank you very much for your time. thank you. not. you know, i'm a big fan of folklore and me. so agenda i really get a chance to with,

into the conversation. even though i think you would agree with modern day job politics is all about me making. but with one of your recent articles, you gave me a wonderful opportunity of doing that because you compare this whole crisis in ukraine to their tail, replied hyper. can you elaborate on that? the look, you know, i'd like to point out that a lot of the policy towards a president wooten and russia seems to be driven by emotion. now, i've been here before in libya, for example, there was a complete demonization of work. there was a demo vision of savannah saying, and there, there is now a demonstration of russia, as of people and brand brand, the brand, the president of russia. now, i've studied doesn't get to some guy study. this is moves. i've also studied the

fact that he became more and more disillusion uh with the west. and it was no surprise to me because we're tracked by my writing. your find out that i was very clear that germany, the franco german alliance will never allow russia to be a part of europe. never. because what happens when you have russia, these 2 argues are there position. so that's never going to happen. so now we find the same play of emotion. and what i'm seeing is present zone ski wants this. he wants that he wants this. basically, he wants to punish russia. i've seen people relax up. i've seen other supper. so in my view, not differences. russia is in the and if not, the phone was the 2nd form was nuclear. oh, it's half of europe. it's harper issue.
