yes. hello, grain with european parliament or just sanctions to be imposed on former german chancellor. gerhard schroeder, an ex austrian foreign minister. karen, can i so that is for their close ties with russia. gracious president joins his turkish counterparts and oppose in finland and sweden, a session to nato. almost 2000 ukrainian troops, including members of the nationalist as of battalion, have laid down their weapons. maria post besieged steel plan this week. also coming up with one man to launch a holier justified and brutal invasion of iraq. i mean, the ukraine,

former us president george w bush, you ordered the 2003 invasion of iraq gaffes while speaking about the crisis and ukraine with moscow to the world. this is our t international. i and peter scott. and these are the top stories. this, our european parliament has urged you to slap unprecedented sanctions on a former german chancellor annex austrian foreign minister. gerhard schroeder and carrying can i so i've been targeted over their close ties with moscow. if approved by brussels, the move would mark the 1st you sanctions against such high profile citizens at home. the parliament has also called on e u countries to expand their sanctions further. that would be to include any european entrepreneurs and politicians who still get money from russia and hold

high posts in state companies. the both gerhard schroeder and can, can i saw members of the board of directors of major russian energy company ross if both former european politicians are also accused of having close personal relations with the mayor bruton. now brussels, others them to abandon their positions in the russian company or face sanctions, including the freezing of the assets in the u. let's discuss these developments with ally and i did chris on thoughtful as a former greek ambassador and diplomat, the united welcome to our see international just how unprecedented do you think the sanctions are against the form of politicians? the sanctions to tell the truth. remind me a little bit of what was happening in germany in the 1930 s those who are against then and not government were slowly,

slowly pushed away, ended up in jail without their assets. so i hope we're not returning back to that time. now 1st of all, it does take into consideration that germany and the other you countries, so or even negro is not. busy with russia, if, if there was, if it was a war, then it might be justified, but there is no war. declared war between the easel countries and russia. so these measures are totally unacceptable. and they come in the direction that the e u has prohibited has prohibited the e u citizens 2 to listen to the other side, to listen to russia today, to listen to what other countries are saying. and here in europe,

we only hear the propaganda coming from the west. so the e u is slowly becoming more and more undemocratic. and i think that we might end up, i hope not, of course, that even speaking against the e. u by e you citizens, it would become a criminal offense. i hope we don't be sure that that state. but that's the way that, that, that we are adding. i totally unacceptable. a former chancellor of germany to be treated into such a way. i mean, the shredder did a good job for, for, for germany when he was a chancellor. i, he did everything possible to resolve the energy problems of germany. and he is asked to pay for that because he does not agree with the policies of the german government. i mean,

every person has the right to has his own to has to have his own opinion and it is totally accepted. won't be forced to do things that are against your opinion. it's totally democratic and i'm afraid that the european union is heading towards a very wrong and bad direction. where you mentioned before you says of what could happen in the future for people who do speak out against the you. are you yourself concerned about getting sanctioned for even just appearing on our thing international to daily? and i'd as well for the moment not. i mean the only sanctions that that i have is that i can not listen to russia today. i cannot see myself afterwards. and eat, i have even, i mean you sent me is the link to my personal internet. it to my personal internet and it has been taken out. it's removed after one or 2 days. i can't find

it again. so we're also suffering a little bit by this a but it, but it is the beginning and i hope it stops there. i mean, but to take a former counselor in a former foreign minister to threaten them like that because they have a different opinion that's totally under val craddick. and as a, as i said at the outset, it reminds me of germany in the 19 through these things are actually period. that's how it started. long before the jews. i mean when it started, when they started singling out people the socialist and the communists who were a, gets the, the nazi regime. and at that time, just, just briefly, if you wouldn't mind the united out your spades. gerhard, schroeder and karen can i thought to respond to this threat of sanctions by the you i cannot speak to, i cannot speak on their, on their behalf, but,

but as long. but i think objectively speaking as long that there is no situation of war between germany and russia, between austria and russia, they can continue doing their job, of course, sure they might, they might collapse under if, if their property and their assets are confiscated, which i would find very shameful. well the united chris and thoughtful as former greek ambassador and diplomat, thank you very much for joining us today and discussing those sanctions, but possibly against gosh, what time can i so thank you. thank you. ah. took his refusal to allow finland and sweden to join nato has caused a widely rift within the block with the president of creation. also speaking out against the session of the 2 nordic countries. question of president zora and milan of it wants his country's parliament to vote against the proposed expansion of nato

. so i think a legit grievances. the western countries have failed to help creations resolve their political disputes. when they bring in bosnia and herzegovina, ivan has also said that allowing villain unsweetened to join nato, it would be a quote, very dangerous adventure. meanwhile, the turkish president has reiterated his stands on preventing, he'll think he and stockholm from entering the block. we do not want to make the same mistake twice, therefore we will decisively continue our policy. in this regard, we told our partners that we would say no to sweden and finland, nato membership. we will continue our path in the same direction. now incorrect claims that the 2 nordic countries support terrorist groups and movements opposed to the turkish government. according to diplomatic sources, and cora has blocked the bureaucratic process of nato's expansion. and that was just hours after fin and sweden 100 in their official applications. a former turkish military intelligence chief says and car is simply trying to protect its own national interests. i should believe before the conflict between russia and

ukraine, nato was not even considering the membership of sweden and finland. this whole issue is being promoted by the united states and the u. k. lay want western countries to stand united against russia. turkey has 2 good reasons. to be against this, the 1st is that it will lead to a conflict between russia and the west. and the 2nd, sweden and finland are providing strong support to terrorist groups. sweden helps the kurds financially, but there are also other countries in nato that also support terrorism against turkey and the united states is the 1st one to mention here. washington supports the kurds in their efforts to create a military stronghold in northern syria. therefore, in light of these significant security issues, turkey strongly opposes the entry of sweden and finland and to nato. if those countries continue to support terrors, then why should turkey sit at the same table with them? being members of one security organization means that each members obligated to

guarantee support and protection to others by supporting kurds. the swedes and many other countries are putting turkey in a difficult position. in my opinion, turkey has the right to talk about its security guarantees. and until this important issue was resolved on turkey, should stand his ground to go well known legs, u. s. president george w bush. the instigator of the invasion of iraq, of course, appears to have accidentally admitted how in justified his options were mistaken of iraq, excuse me, for ukraine during a speech in dallas. while some have suggested us that was purely bushes, conscience speaking, human rights watch has referred to it as the quotes of freud in slip of the century . the decision of one man to launch a holy, unjustified, and brutal invasion of iraq. i mean of ukraine or rack. i mean, the ukraine iraq to anyway 75,

both shoes, 2003 invasion of iraq cost approximately 200000 lives and ruined the countries economy for the blue put down to his age. well, earlier we spoke with international law professor front, this boyle, who participated in a tried in qual, uh, pool over legit war crimes committed by us troops in iraq on george w bush's orders boil, says the former us president should be in prison for what he did what cern's me is, so the audience laughing about it. and if you hear us mainstream new sweetie this morning, many pundits are laughing about. there is nothing funny about what happened here. this was an outcry, aggression under burg crime against peace. despite the figure you put up there, as far as our investigations have been able to determine this for killed about

1500000 iraqis outright jet and shy and 5000 of us. so military personnel bush should be in jail. ah, you can see some of the latest pitches from the as of factory in the dumbass city of motor. you pull, where more ukrainian competence are surrendering on thursday. for says the so far, 1730 troops including nationalists from the battalion of 100 themselves over the past 4 days. parties eagerly done of is in the mask with all the details while the ukrainian garrison that was hiding in the basement and the dungeons of the as of style see what they keep surrendering. in fact, the total number of those who have decided to lay down arms and go into captivity has surpassed 1700 people among them, both the members of the as of neo nazi battalion end regular ukrainian soldiers.

many of them, dozens, in fact, are wounded. they have been sent to hospitals and they receive medical care. here's what some of the ukranian soldiers had to say about their predicament. her voyage him were being held in good condition. so yes, there are mattresses, blankets the food is decent. we have enough of everything for a physical as we have beds, mattresses, blankets, pillows, everything is in order and the food as good a. i didn't know what to expect, but in the end it's better than i expected. no one insults us here. my fellow soldiers have received medical assistance bandages were applied and the heavily wounded have been evacuated. and well, frankly, the only thing more miserable than the weather here right now is the condition that all these ukrainian soldiers were admitted in to the hospitals. here internet's kinda denotes people's republic because they've suffered horrific,

burns infected injuries lost limbs, and they were all kept down there without any access to proper medicine. so now, quite importantly, more than a half of the total fighters have already laid down arms, which leaves the minority that are still hiding in the basements there, but they all are intending to weld surrender, but among them is the top brass and the top brass of the as of neo nazi battalion, so when they lay down arms, hopefully they will. this is when something interesting is very likely to happen because they know so, so much. but we have already heard from russian officials from the officials here in the nets, that those fighters that will be found guilty of committing crimes against russia, against people here in the dont bass. they will receive military tribunal. they will receive sentences and well the forecast for them here is very great because here in the nets, people's republic, a capital sentence is real. it exists here within the legal system. so again,

we'll have to see when everybody surrenders, and then while they will be tried present, joe biden is reportedly poised to sign an executive order, grantee, know the $100000000.00 in u. s. militia eight's ukraine package. that includes artillery, shells and radar. from on this, let's go live now to ortiz, caleb, more pin, who's joining us live from new york. hello. thank you for joining us. this raises the question of exactly how much more nato weaponry will be flowing into ukraine. and where they all go in walking, tell us sure. well, at this point, there are lots of weapons blowing into ukraine, but there seem to be some concerns raised about where these weapons might be going . at this point, the weapons are blowing into the country and there are concerns about the fact that these high tech weapons that are coming from nato seem to be ending up to some degree or other in the hands of the as our battalion, the infamous,

neo nazi fighting force in ukraine. for example, if one looks at the twitter page, the official twitter page of the italian, they are displaying a massive door, which is a fighting system that is a nato natal origin. and actually i was developed by germany. this is an anti tank arguments that were sent to you. great. so it's very clear that they are getting their hands on nature weaponry, these neo nazis. take a look. the yes. so now we have the united states coming forward, offering more a to ukraine. and it's worth reviewing the fact that the united states did put forward a package several years ago of age ukraine, $13600000000.00. but they specifically said that they didn't the weapons. and the aid that was going to ukraine should not end up in the hands of the as the tally.

this particularly fascist dick racist anti semitic division should not be receiving us weapons. but now we have members of the us congress were coming forward and saying that it's true that they don't really know where these weapons that are flowing in the ukraine and up by quite concerning. take a listen in terms of our ability to track the weapons that are going in. as you know, we don't have any forces on the ground. so that's, it's difficult for us to do. i couldn't tell you where the weapons are in ukraine and whether the ukrainians are using them at this point. they're not telling us every round of ammunition they're firing and who and when. now this is a problem that has played out with the united states. many times states the leading ex porter of arms around the world. and often these arms end up in the hands of different forces. for example, you can talk about when the states withdrew from afghanistan and how

a lot of the us military hardware ended up in the hands of the taliban. you can talk about how in mexico, many of the drug cartels have gotten their hands on high tech weaponry, originated from the united states as well. this is a very serious concern, and it's being raised at a time that congress seems to be going ahead with getting $40000000000.00 and additional aid to ukraine, and that will include lots of weaponry. so there are serious concerns about these weapons blowing directly into the hands of nazis. whether or not that is really the intention of us leaders. that seems to be a pretty possible result based on what's already happened. well, caleb, thank you very much for doing that. latest us aid package to ukraine. us ortiz, kill morphine live from new york. thank you. us senators have approved a $40000000000.00 aid package for ukraine with a phones now due to be released after a formal approval has been given from the white house. the vote on capitol hill came despite opposition from some members of congress, one of whom accused

a fellow american lawmakers of corruption, and even like the bill to money laundering. federal law makers find non profits. they find non governmental organizations, they fund grants grants that go to people. and if you really look into it, a lot of times it's their friends and families that operate these non profits and non governmental organizations. and it's basically like money laundering schemes. earlier, republicans sen run poll, did manage to single handedly delay the legislation for several days. he also called on the public to oppose the spending of $40000000000.00 of taxpayer money on ukraine. o be instead of helping americans at home, both top democratic senator chuck schumer hit bucket run poll, even calling him a point of the kremlin. i went home and i had a standing ovation from 200 people at a lincoln day dinner. who are say, thank you for holding up this money. we need help at home. we can't get baby formula. we can't pour our gas, but it is repugnant that one member the other side,

the junior senator from kentucky chose to make a show and obstruct ukraine funding, knowing full well, he couldn't actually stop its passage for senator paul to delay ukraine, funding from purely political motives is to only strengthen putin's hand. and while the u. s. administration gives up to send $40000000000.00 to ukraine. many ordinary americans are struggling to cope with rising inflation at home. when we glass gasoline prices, which are over a dollar a gallon from just last year, some locals are voicing their concerns about the us government sending money abroad while hanging americans out to dry his home stock market. his crashing gas prices are rising, inflation is through the roof, must be time for another $40000000000.00 for ukraine. if our elected officials had to pay for their own gas, i bet they would find a solution to the rising gas prices. meanwhile, back in our country, gas prices at highest level ever and rising babies have no formula, store shelves,

empty supply line crisis, southern border amiss highest inflation in decades. republican congressmen, my gates has also slammed quote progressives in the u. s. government for he calls the hypocrisy and funding the conflict in ukraine. i used to be able to count on progressives in the congress who joined me in opposing a war in yemen, who joined me in pushing back against provincial war powers with iran. who agreed that it would be crazy to start world war 3 over the kurds. but on the issue of ukraine, the progressives are signed up for the $40000000000.00 plus to from the war. political analyst gahlan nixon believe the u. s. is sacrificing the well being of his own citizens to fuel conflicts abroad. now we see a tremendous amount of money, $40000000000.00 that will ostensibly go to ukraine. but everyone knows that only a portion of the money will ever leave the american shores. a lot of it will go to

defense contractors here or any number of contractors, and certainly when he gets there, there is it, there is a certainly a number of people in the society who are connected to in ukraine who are connected to oligarchy who are connected to organized crime and all manner of mystery behavior shall we say. so we certainly know that money will be laundered a lot of the land up in cyprus and various bank accounts of politicians. our country is no, is not a a nation state as we understand it. this in an empire, we've gone to the dying collapsing stage of an empire. so now the resources from the empire flow out all around the world to try to prop up the empire. so now the american people, rather than get the print b, unfortunately, to use this word, the economic privilege of living in an empire that prays on everyone else. now they're the one who was pre owned by the empire. and the empire simply uses our

resources and use the american people to prop up their, their endeavors around the world, such as the proxy war in ukraine. and so now the story we're across now after weeks of backlash, the u. s. government has suspended a plan to create a so called disinformation governance board, intended to overlook the spread of information throughout the country. the more it was put for it for a purpose, right? to make sure that we really did, it really did address what was happening across the country when it came to dis information. it's going to pause. there's been a mis character ations from outside outside forces. this is what's happening. there is a pause. we did not have an involvement in his critics condemn the initiative as a dystopian ministry of truth questioning. it's a faith on free speech, along with the qualifications of the quote dis, information experts employed to watch over the country. in a young call, which the intended 1st executive director received the most severe criticism with

dozens of publications mocking her track record as an expert in quote truth. while highlighting her tendency to ascribe everything unfavourable to the democrats. as a russian influence campaign that included the hunter biden laptop, which detailed his family's financial schemes in the u. s. and overseas, which was published during the 2020 election. well, it's a flesh this out. let's cross live now to our doom caucus us veteran and anti war based. welcome to our international adam. so less than 3 weeks after it was analysis seems that biden's, ministry of truth, as it's been nicknamed, is now on hold. we surprised by the backlash to it. no, not at all. surprised, very encouraged and i'm a cursor. you guys are covering this. i'm grateful to be included in the conversation as an iraq veteran who's been in that sense, a victim of massive government. this information campaign. and as someone who's been censored and shadow band is an independent media bruce or an anti war activist,

trying to draw attention to the lies that government tells. but that the government, you know, dis, information governance board or, or is painfully absurd to anybody who understands what's really going on using this as a means of psychological controls. like, well no, we're the one to tell the truth. they're the ones who i know they're the ones for the misinformation, world one spreading the truth it's, it's pathological if you, if you, after 4 or 5 government is a person. this is some serious sociopath pathological line behavior. setting up a new way of say, want tell the truth and everybody else's why and you know all the comparisons. joyce, by george orwell. 984, the chair, nina, her history of spreading this information or sell. but once encouraging about this is that government is gone in the united states, at least i mean, governments all over the world do this to justify their existence obviously. but in the united states,

they've gone so far as to create the ministry of truth as it's been referred to as the $1084.00 reference. and it's so over the top they can make it more fact checkers. does everybody go fact checkers? yeah, right. you your, your preferred facts because it's your truth and your agenda and really we go. government just information, government support. this is ridiculous. yeah. so you're not surprised in the slices then, but did you find it ironic that the white house press secretary said that the disinformation board was itself subject to dis information, particularly regarding this had nina young college? well, i think it was on the report. i do see in the white house press secretary briefing said like weights, are you saying that because it was not characterized there were shut down therefore the misinformation board was shut down by misinformation. oh yeah. it's almost like, you know, government inception line about lies about lies about lies about lies. and if they

can't even combat misinformation about themselves, what chance do they have to do anything about the bigger problem of misinformation? we think about, well, what is, what is misinformation? what is, what is it, when is it problematic? it's because it's people lying to take advantage of other people who does that, who, oh, government, governments are the biggest perpetrators of that kind of just honesty, historically throughout human history, throughout the world. it is by, in order to manipulate and control you. so that's why this is the government's own . you know, misinformation were so so laughable to think. what do you think washington is going to result through all the techniques to tackle what it believes to be disinformation? well, one of the fine things it was brought up, and as long as i'm on r t, all mentioned the connection with ukraine, russia, they're saying, well, we have to combat mis information about your credit, russia, because russia down and sees it as an information more. oh, my gosh,

we have no kidding. of course. the american government sees everything as an ins from asian war a misinformation we're. we're how, how do we fire our misinformation more effectively to control the narrative and make more war happen to justify spent sending $40000000000.00 to ukraine when americans can't pump gas or buy davies food formulas as dr. ram paul, you are senator. so after pointing out, so i, when i see this like it just falling on top of each or, you know, falling all over, it's all falling apart. and i'm encouraged, but you know, it's, it's, it's a liars game and i think the credibility of, of government, especially the american government as we see it as historically. why doesn't to war over and over and over again when they say, well, now we're gonna, we're going to go over your misinformation. you know, it's just another tactic of

a white. well, after wait and see what the future holds for the disinformation bought out in caucus youth veteran on to watch this. thank you very much for your input today or nazi. i was just after been ousted from power form. a pakistani prime minister in mancha, continues to go to support across the country, while alleging that the u. s. was behind, is removal from office. last month, the car was ousted in a votes of no confidence by pakistan's parliament are replaced by a more pro western premier con says that washington had him removed from power because he was not playing along with u. s. foreign policy plans. now thousands of pakistan, these have been taken to the streets to voice their support for the populace. politician lieutenant general tullocks masoud sales. people continue to support the former prime minister. mon. com because the new government is still not. that's active. m ron hun continues to be a very popular leader, was unfortunate that he lost his government to the opposition,

but he continues to be a popular leader because he's taken his message really well to the people. he's been very active, politically property, practically speaking every day at public meetings. he's visiting all parts of the concrete. so when the new government does not seem to be performing as quick as well, obviously his stock rises among the people as well. there are enemies of focus on all around us. of social media enables and ports and fake news of games and creating accounts which actually can, can be a wrong impression. so there was an attempt by what we call the enemies of the state enemies of focus on to create a gap and a chasm between the people of pakistan and the bogus ani ami all the within the pakistani political parties in the pups any army. but that in the will function that in the political parties, regardless whether it is in brown hands or any other i read closely still very, very much connected or died.
