9:03 pm
the advancing forces as a private russian military company called the wagner group. ours is eager to dan off was granted a rare opportunity to join them and also to look at the abandoned position of ukrainian troops who continue according to officials to use civilian areas as firing points several years ago. many weren't certain if this unit was real, or just to spine chilling myth. it's the most reclusive and cryptic company fighting for russia and the don bass. this is the wagner group. ah ah, the village of the cross,
9:04 pm
claire refused to fool for weeks to defend it. key of commanders deployed some of its veteran troops with plenty of experience in ugly warfare. so from the outside, this looks like an anonymous village, hard just a civilian house, but trust me, it is not. and as i go, please pay attention to this very badly decomposed body in ukrainian military uniform. but if you were to just follow me, you will discover this again, an anonymous tool shed. and again, it is not. you can see the trench, the trenches over here. so this is a firing position. there are several basements all around the place with similar firing positions. so what is this if not, prove that ukrainians use civilian houses as their cover, and basically anonymous places like this. but it takes more than just dirty tactics to stop the wagon, a group dubbed as the orchestra,
9:05 pm
the and sambal and other music inspired nicknames. they pounded this very position for long, violent 8 hours until every one of the dozens of resisting ukraine's troops either fled or met their maker. this is one of the basement, amid village houses, where the ukrainian troops used to walter. this is a good hiding sport because you can see it goes quite deep on the ground. the roof here is reinforced. and if you wondering what this ropers is done for safety, for closing the door remotely, the village is largely deserted, yet a handful of civilians with no other place to go remain at the same time. ukrainian forces are still shelling the place, targeting the musicians in a whack a mole style. we live together with the russian units. my husband is an insulin, we just ran out. i ordered some ones, then again,
9:06 pm
the delivery failed. now they've taken him somewhere. i think that will get the medicine without the insulin. things would be bad, he would die. the orchestra has moved on already. there are the 1st and only unit to have breached the defenses of the city, of our term, of the next big thing on this direction. ah, i'm walking along the same road as the most enigmatic unit. fighting on the russian side, this is the under the village. and this is the last house here, which also turned out to be the final fortification on their way. well, as i wasn't thinking continued to call for freedom and democracy in various parts of the world, it's meantime making record profits in the arms industry with $20000000000.00 worth being sold to countries with quote, questionable human rights records ortiz,
9:07 pm
rachel blevins has details. us has become known for lecturing the world on the principles of freedom, democracy, and liberal values, even taking extreme measures to target governments. washington claims aren't meeting the right standards, but those values appear nowhere to be found when the country in question is buying weapons from the u. s. government. in fact, the biden administration just signed off on nearly $20000000000.00 worth of foreign arms deals in just over 2 weeks. the top countries of the receiving end of those deals include germany and the netherlands for reports are now drawing attention to the other members on that list. saudi arabia and the u. e, noting that more than a 3rd of the deals, the u. s. just made, we're done with governments that they have a long accused of human rights violations. we were not going to in fact sell more weapons to them. we were going to in fact, and they couldn't pay the price and make them, in fact,
9:08 pm
the price that they are. and in the same way that they have drawn attention from human rights groups. so has egypt, which has secured more than $2000000000.00 and a deal with the u. s. this year. but despite arguments that the white house could still intervene and could put a stop to around $300000000.00 and direct military support. similar to the way it said, it would hold $130000000.00 and funding at the start of the year due to human rights concerns. well, president by then has yet to take any action. the consistent pattern of human rights abuses committed by the egyptian government and evidence that u. s. military equipment has been used and such violations should require the administration to suspend all arms transfers to egypt in order to comply with longstanding us law. the same goes for us armed deals with the philippines, where concerns have mounted over citizens rights to press freedom and to criticize their government along with the government's fertile war on drugs where thousands
9:09 pm
of deaths have been reported, all secretary of state lincoln appeared to talk to when visiting the philippines last week, bite and did the same during his trip to the middle east. last month, however, the white house still has yet to follow through. on those promise it women can exercise your rights. you contribute to build a stronger economy versus the size and more modern and capable military for citizens can question and criticize leaders out here for price counter was accountable to shoes that are free from corruption act, transparently respect to rule are the best way to deliver growth respond to people's needs, and i believe i assure justice, but despite all of that talk, it appears that money also talks. and in this case, it's speaking much louder than any concerns. the u. s. government claims to have over the security of human rights overseas. so how can the u. s. government still be taken seriously as it continues to profit heavily off of supplying the very
9:10 pm
weapons that are used to commit the same human rights violations? it also claims to care about our let's learn more about this right here on the program on. are you this michael maloof, a former senior security policy analyst at the office of the secretary of defense, micheal, great to see your thanks for joining us or whatnot. so let's talk about some numbers here. if you wouldn't mind washington's arms sales hitting 20000000000 in 2 weeks, as we understand a 3rd of those sales went to middle eastern autocracies to the numbers come as a surprise at all. no, not at all. the united states is competing, frankly, with other, other governments, china, russia and, but, but more important, it's trying to establish it's, it's his gemini and its influence because they want to cut off any possibility that the united states will have those countries begin to
9:11 pm
turn toward russia or china, for to, for alternatives. the egypt, for example, easily could get arms from the, from, from russia, if it wanted to. but it, but the united states puts aside its arguments about human rights and what have you, when it's convenient, where the u. s. policies are, are hypocritical, and in this case it has to do with power politics as well as money. and that is the name of the game. and it's, it's just bare facts and it's, and it's reality. and only if it suits united states will they use the human rights arguments and talk, talk in terms of democracy when in fact, it's not practicing democracy. they document when they bring china into the equation. but then michael does something like saudi arabia, saudi arabia has an enormous military. it's pretty much old american military hardware, but then look at the human rights reco. it's not
9:12 pm
a whole nother story. we just will have to address another time michael, talk to me about a in january biden withheld $130000000.00 in aid to egypt over human rights concerns. but egypt continues to buy weapons from the united states. how do these policy decisions really tally with each other as well? it's important because egypt was so critical to, to us policy and maintaining, maintaining its influence in that region. it's very closely aligned with saudi arabia. and consequently, the united states needs to keep that try to keep some semblance of cohesion, and so called us leadership. when in fact those countries now are beginning to look elsewhere. you have egypt, saudi arabia, for example, looking to join bricks, for example. that's a fact that is an organisation comprised of, of brazil, russia, india, china, south africa and some other countries in the, in the golf air. countries are also looking in that direction because they can no
9:13 pm
longer trust the united states in terms of its policies. united states speaks out of both ends of its mouth, and it's very hypocritical in that in that. so michael, it's interesting you brought up the issue of brig 7. i want to go into it, but you mentioned briggs, brazil, russia, india, china, south africa. and perhaps soon iran, argentina and saudi arabia as well. be a lot of these countries holding a lot of energy in the world. and the bricks essentially representing the majority of the working world, the labor force around the world. michael, you know, i love doing all these tangents with you, but i may get back on track here. i wanted to ask you about the military industrial complex ripping record profits these days. i mean, okay, fair enough. that's what you guys do. but, you know, raytheon, lockheed these kinds of companies. you look at ukraine and the military industrial complex is being used to pump the country full of weapons. we'll, we keep hearing about russian aggression in ukraine. but where is the intent on piece when western professional partners are pumping ukraine full of weapons? well, we're going to shoot democracy in people's heads. that's the policy of the neo conservatives
9:14 pm
in the united states. today we see that and we see that we have seen that repeatedly. we've been at war constantly for 22 years and, and it's not stopping. and if we, and as soon as we initiated ukraine, then we had to turn to taiwan. we got to keep these wars going in the frictions brewing because that's what does generate the income for the military industrial complex here at home. if you didn't have the money to, to pay for that, then all of the to go away. but the reality is, is that in order to afford to do this and then justify spending high defense monies, you need crisis. and we, i can cut at least 4 fronts that were potentially about ready to go to war over. and we can't, we can't fight 11 from war. let alone for profit is always more important than the people. michael maloof, a former certain security policy analyst to talk extent. you are going to say,
9:15 pm
well, you yeah, i was going to say to certain people it is, i'm not bill in it, but i can assure you, but i know for, for the very rich, for the very for, for the democrats that one control and power and linked him with the military industrial complex, they're the ones who are profiting. everyone else is really suffering even in the united states, to be honest with them. well, that's why you have one of the reasons why you have so many 1000000 has on capital hill micro maloof. a great pleasure. thanks very much. we'll talk soon. thank you. okay, bye bye. but accounting has underway and kenyans presidential election, but as it waits to find out who will lead next, the country is dealing with slightly bigger issues, not in the least growing terrorist threat in the region of fact, reportedly alti, it is most significant affiliate sabrina. well, digging in their roots as paul asleep now investigates. this is seen one of the most visually contested election in kenya's history. the nation is divided over who should lead the country. but if there is one thing that kenyans can agree on it
9:16 pm
that their government with american assistance is failing in its fight against tara one. it's been 3 and a half years since the last major attack in this country. alex, about one of our greatest largest wealthiest and most deadly affiliates hazard here and it's growing. there aren't random attacks against civilians leaving an under current of fear and uncertainty. it's the high profile tragedies that make it to the international headlines like back on the 15th of january, 2019 terrorist, a standard on this lecture. hotel and office complex. 19 hours later, $21.00 people were dead, and the country was left wheeling and shock. 6 years earlier, this shopping center was targeted for 4 days. people crouched in terror while they were held hostage during a shootout between kenyan soldiers and police and somali militants, i'll show about the claim to we're extracting revenge for kenya's operations in
9:17 pm
neighboring somali territory. the americans have been there for years already trying to stem terrorism at its core. it's a common sentiment hearing tenure that any american assistance has a price that of political insulin. america twinkle, manipulate the liberal compared countries so that they can take control of their economies. they pretend to be good to these by level countries, especially nafrica, where they be that they know and it doesn't really depend on their grams. so they only say in through invoice, in, for incidental resume, so that they can take advantage of pretending to be giving up the glance sort. but in the, instead they only want to get involved into our affairs by been event heading into mining. although i'm in it or taking control of our political situations on political, i'm general governance. they want to control us and it doesn't is american is actually africa. africans are very vulnerable, they don't have enough resources. we have enough resources, but americans are taking looters on it. back to their land,
9:18 pm
the manufacturer will see that they be, they bring back last in terms of selling. that's why they're trying to manipulate us so that we come not to stop believing in ourselves. they want to make us feel that we are still in fia. the fight is that the fight is selfish. celebrating the corners like the americans we want to do. they want to benefit from these conflicts . because even as we are good for the saucers, it means there was to go, these countries go over. is that jim change these countries? some of these countries in the hint, if i had gone to the war and now back in may biden or did hundreds of back into somalia after bob continues to conduct attacks. certainly there in somalia, they have been capable of conducting attacks in the region and we know that in the past they had expressed at least the intent and desire to attack outside the region including against the american interest. so tara is on the wise in the region and a spreading to more countries. black uganda,
9:19 pm
which just last year experienced water attacks than ever. it originates from somalia moves through tenure and is claimed for alphabet canyons. no, another attack will come against the backdrop of surgeon emotions because of a loss. when at this year's ballad box, there is an undercurrent of restlessness, policy, or r. c. had election headquarters nairobi can yet amidst heavy competition, india is set to emerge as asia strongest economy over the next 12 months. that's according to the investment management giant. morgan stanley, the projection comes to continents. 3rd largest economy grew a full 9.2 percent. this past year, actually deli, pursues an india 1st strategy. his art contributor article. this is gonna be by morgan stanley is going to be told
9:20 pm
already prices drop bill, $90.00, and i'm the export go by 21st. if that happens, india is suddenly going to be the strongest economy in the shop. but having said that, the fact is that india has done very well in the last few months, especially because india has gained strategic independence, resolving foreign policy, international trade. the fact that the need to countries having pressurising india against buying russian or discounted prices, i think it's something to be going to do it here in the i did not buy funded back in the i went ahead and bought russian cou boy, which has been if they did, they've gone to me and it has it got all the losses that it
9:21 pm
during the go by this time, you know, fact is that the west has been rising india against buying not only why from russia, but also i'm send in addition veterans system just just happens to be the biggest supplier pharmacy emission to india. we continue to work with them to ensure that they understand that it's not in there. we believe that it's not in their best interest to continue to invest in russian equipment. what i can say is that india is a really important security partner of ours now, and that we value that partnership moving forward. i hope that part of what happens with the extreme criticism that russia has faced is that india will find it is now time to further distance itself from russia. but it is quite clear that is going to follow these goals on its own national interest. the movie government has
9:22 pm
made it abundantly clear that we do not make our relationship big russia, or defense on, on group i. it is quite clear that india will continue. it's partnership with russia on both arms on the defense as well as, you know, we also spoke with he could assign a director with a geopolitical economy, research group, who says that despite outside pressure, india will continue to pursue an independent policy to further its own interests. major western institutions such as banks and so on, they love to talk up india because india is less problematic for them than china has been for the last decade and more. the projections are coming from rest of the financial institution that i'm not interested in india becoming closer to russia or china or whatever. but objective forces pushing india national interests,
9:23 pm
pushing india and that action definitely there is a lot of best and pressure in india. i mean, if you look at the largest c, as we know, increasingly the world is being, becoming bipolar. once again, there's also 2 small sizes. it's playing both sides of the drugs, so to speak. because in the one hand to force it has benefit enormously from russia need to export fuel both in the form of school and in the form of other forces was oil, et cetera. on the other hand, india also hopes that somehow, for example, it will benefit from the rest of the direction of supply chains away from china to lose it. so it's much more complex than just gustavo petro columbia. new left as president says, the problem of drug trafficking is no longer just a u. s. colombian bilateral issue, but it's now a global one. investigation into the murder of paraguayan prosecutor,
9:24 pm
marcello petrie by uruguayan drug trafficker, mar, set in columbia, shows that drug trafficking has long ceased to be a columbian american, bilateral problem and is today. and american and global problem. or petro says, the war on drugs has failed. and the world needs a new way to stop schools from dying. it's so don't worry about this time for new international convention that accepts that the war on drugs has failed. this last 1000000 latin americans murdered majority of them colombians in the past 40 years. and that a leave $70000.00 north americans dead every year due to overdose of drugs, of which none are produced in latin america, the war and drug strengthen matthews and weakens states toilet. so just take you through some of the figures he's facing in the countries today. as he tackles the issue, are more than 600000 colombians use drugs. the country produced an estimated 70 percent of the cocaine consumed globally last year. and males age between 15 and 60 for the main users in the country. among them though
9:25 pm
a $128000.00 youngsters. we went to get some feedback on this. we spoke earlier to several experts who gave us that takes on the different angles of this problem. every year here in the united states, we lose more people. the vast majority, the opioid overdose is, which is coming from afghanistan and through mexico in made right here in laboratories. this has nothing to do with columbia or south america. this is long been a fig leaf. justification for us war on not drugs, but the people of south america in the sovereignty of south america for how many decades have we seen the colombian government paramilitaries actually collaborating with the us government and carrying out their agenda. so the u. s. is by no means in it's in this matter. b of the united states use the, he's going to be scholarly in our nations,
9:26 pm
in latin america come from regionally from children. as a result of the war, dr. united states was able to pressure the colombian government to sign the 1st defense corporation agreement, which the united states install between $7.00 to $10.00 military bases that were allowed to use a re facility community or civilian in the country in any event of conflict. you can imagine that it's more or less given the country is united, but it seems that we've only reinforcement again drug trafficking, a selection in columbia between 30 to 40 percent and to your favorites and 92 percent with columbia, the consumer, united states. these are very soon so they can release as much as possible. these 2
9:27 pm
in the, the j is from people who are, you know, mine or nina is ready to that. a process with the cuban government. i was sitting down with the l in gorillas, in order to spread that government of peace as well as opening the border with going to sweller, recognizing the constitutional president, nicholas my daughter. so i feel that our pet, that all might have a china within the institution, but she will be able to, to be successful because he has a lot of the backing, get a lot of support because me and i sick and tired of this war on drugs f b, i. agents seized classified documents from donald trump, residents in florida about according to multiple media reports. some of the papers are alleged to have been marked as top secret. although the president claims the material in his possession was be classified f b, i. agents are portly,
9:28 pm
took around 20 boxes of items from the former president's mara lago residents. the agents collected 4 sets of top secret documents, 3 sets of secret documents, and the 3 sets of confidential documents. according to some reports, some of the classified documents, the f, b i, agents sought, were related to nuclear weapons. a term denies all this and is urged that the documents be released. as soon as possible. number one, it was all declassified. number 2, they didn't need to seize anything. they could have had it anytime they wanted without playing politics and breaking into mara lago nuclear weapons issue is a hoax, just like russia, russia, russia was a hoax to impeachment, were a hoax. the muller investigation was a hoax. and much more, same sleazy people involved. well, this all comes off earlier this week, the f b, i had so much trouble, south florida home and even broke into a safe search appeared to be focused on material that the former president took
9:29 pm
with him when he left the white house. let's learn more in what limited time we have left in the program here. coursing lives, not as syndicated radio host or carry harrison thanks for joining to carry. great to have you on the program on auto international, donald trump and supporters claim all these actions or do the rate of his house was politically motivated. what do you think? well, at the end of the day, the president of the united states is my employee, at least according to this government. we're talking the 15 boxes, then another $25.00, that's $35.00 boxes. and if you think of a banker's box, it's the size of a filing cabinet drawer. taking those back to your hotel where you live and locking them up there. what's in them? we don't know. it's up to merrick garland, to release that, but he hasn't yet the f b i is not allowed on its own to release that. so we can only speculate if it's stuff on nuclear weapons. it's marilyn and rose, brazil. we're operate northwards that attempted to come up with
9:30 pm
a reason to invade cuba back in the 900 sixty's or is it porn? i don't know. the problem is my president anybody's president, any employee of the u. s. government works for us. there are a cleaning lady, whether we like them or not. and he was not given permission under the espionage act, which comes to world war one that says if you take this step home, it's naughty. let me jump in here, carry it if i may, regardless as you say, what the documents may be, whether it was about mar them on rhodes, brought or about nuclear secrets this time, the other, do you think trump is going to end up facing any charges of this because there are lots of people saying that they're going to be trumped up charges to stop him from running again for another time in 2024. well theoretically, because according to one of the statutes, if you do something like this, you take national defense secrets home like this, you no longer are qualified to run for public office, but congress cannot make.
