ah ah ah, you, when you please, nato is declared our country an immediate threat on the way to total u. s. dominance. and a un general assembly session rushes. foreign minister says that moscow security proposals were arrogantly rejected by the west the 2nd day of voting wraps up the, in the dumbasses, roger, and here on regions. we continue our special coverage of the ongoing referendums on whether to join russia and hear from some locals that this means everything to us. my son has been fighting in the guns republic for 8 years. for me,

this is everything. this is our choice. i've been waiting for this since 2014, almost a 1000 international observe is also working at the referendum in the done yes, people's republic with some notes in the high level of organization. honestly doesn't have many voters. dealing with the parting station we've been to, there's a very friendly atmosphere. people came to the polls willingly and with smiles on their faces. we haven't detected any violations and it all runs in compliance with the needed level of transparency and international norms. ah, welcome to the weekly hey on our team in our slime peter scott's and these the stories that shape the news this week the 1st the e u has become a dictatorial organization. well, that's the view of the russian foreign minister said gala rav following his address to the 77th un general assembly in new york, where he covered

a key geopolitical questions, including what he claimed was the inability of the collective west to negotiate with moscow. does warden the student h e, you has a sense of permissive medicine, wrist issues to say think that they are the only ones who can make judgments. so the european union, in principle, is becoming a rigid and dictatorial organization. or a very important press conference took place here at the united nations headquarters with the russian foreign minister, sergei labrat. now the press was not exactly friendly to the russian foreign minister, but he made a point of answering their questions with strength and consistency. now, when pressed by foreign reporters about whether or not that would mean that russia would somehow be using nuclear weapons, the russian foreign minister pointed out that it was actually present zalinski of ukraine who raised the nuclear issue and talked about how france had nuclear weapons and escalated the war of words to include nuclear threats, the russian foreign minister from there,

he went over the various allegations against russia that have been debunked. he also went over the various crimes being committed by the government and he have that have been ignored by western media. i talked about the need for international bodies, not simply to become tools of the united states, but to serve multi lateral and international purposes. and furthermore, the leader of russia, the foreign minister, spoke about the need for real dialogue and how he would be open for there to be dialogue with the united states, even if these talks had to take place in secret. and then from there he talked about how at the end of the cold war, it seemed like us leaders appointed themselves as emissaries of god on earth with the right to intervene in any country that they wish. and often the targets were countries they saw as rivals human you. it is very clear to any unbiased observer for the anglo saxons who have completely subjugated europe. ukraine is only expendable in the fight against russia. nato has declared our country an immediate

threat on the way to total u. s. dominance and has identified china as a long term strategic challenge. at the same time, the collective west led by washing sends a frightening signal to all other countries, without exception to any one who dares to disobey can be next. now the russian foreign minister and his speech went on to condemn the practice of unilateral sanctions being carried out by the united states, which prevent people from getting food from getting medicine and a number of states have been targeted. he specifically highlighted the blockade of cuba, which the un general assembly has condemned over and over and over again. but the united states persists in instilling on the small island nation. now from there we had the russian foreign minister talk about the need for the u. n. to be restructured in a way that countries around the world that are from the developing areas, latin america, africa, and asia could be given more adequate representation on the security council. he talked specifically about africa and how it is under represented in world affairs,

maliciously commune was conflict situations in africa, require abandoning the temptation to make them the subject of ju political, 0, sum games on consolidating external plays in support of the initiatives of the african union. during the un general assembly session, there were other speeches that raised important issues facing the globe. for example, we heard from the representative of india to coal for reform multilateralism with the reforms of the security council at school, and joyce considerable support among you and members. it does so because of the widespread recognition that the cut in t architecture is anachronistic and ineffective. it is also perceived as deeply unfair, denying entire continents and regions a wise in a forum, deliberate their future. we also heard from the representative of china was the chinese foreign minister who took the podium at the un general assembly and

emphasized the need for representation of impoverished countries around the world. and the need for the u. n. to be restructured in a way to give voice to developing countries. school no hustle, realty come. we must seek co operation and oppose confrontation. as we face a host of global challenges, we should jointly oppose group politics and block confrontation. major international issues should be handled by all countries. no countries above others and no country should abuse its power to bully others sovereign countries. now, in addition to his press conference and his remarks before, the un general assembly, the russian foreign minister sergey lab, rob also had a number of very important bilateral meetings. india sat down with russia and talked behind closed doors, as did shina earlier in the week. so it's been a very important development. there are clearly big differences between major countries in the world when it comes to the issues that were discussed. but the russian foreign minister held his own,

stood up to the challenges of the press and gave a clear assessment of advance going on, not just in ukraine, but around the world. the 2nd day of voting has wrapped up of the referendums in don bus and 2 of the regions with locals. they're making a choice on whether it's a join, russia. we bring you all the latest now in our special coverage. ah . well aside from the don bus, referendums are also being held in the head of san ins up at osha regions. the

years ago, both the nance gun guns voted to declare themselves independence after refusing to recognize regime change and key f. officials said that, sent out on the 2nd day of polling, remain steady according to election committees. participation has been highest in the done yes. for public where 55 percent of those eligible have cast their votes and it'll go for public. some 45 percent have voted alternative both upper osha and hassan is above 30 percent. is our locals hassan feel about the referendum this? this means everything to us. my son has been fighting in the logan's republic for 8 years. for me, this is everything. it's a matter of life and death. ah, this is our choice. i've been waiting for this since 2014. i want to live a life without fascists. i'm fed up with them. god willing, we will have peace and everything will be safe. so the talent, children, and grandchildren will leave and grow up in peace with the votes. now entering his

3rd day, the referendum has been widely condemned as illegal by most western states. so they refused to recognize the results. we got some assessments of the process by international observers from italy and come every to the object if her visitor tool, oh, pulling office and, and t, and that it is the wish of the population. so we are trying to see of the process. it is free. yes, it is free. we are looking for how many people are standing. we are seeing that a lot of people are ending and expressing that since 2014 the want to be a part of the county of susan's really mothers reduce it. we visited the pouting station, ambrosia i've come, we're planning to visit 2 more ad podding station. we been to, there's a very friendly atmosphere. people came to the polls willingly and with smiles on

their faces. we haven't detected any violations. we're pretty sure the situation in other putting stations is the same. i can't tell you for sure what's happening at the other putting stations at the moment. but from what we've seen so far, no violations have been detected, and it all runs in compliance with the needed level of transparency and international norms. residents of the dumbass have mold, choosing their own path well ahead of the referendum back in 2014 regime james in care of launched a so called anti terror operation in south east and ukraine. events became a point of no return for people in the dumbass. let's take a closer look arts. wow, those one of us, his ice south kosa look as one of our documentaries, and see how those events unfolded. ah ah, for the fisher with it the right to play

with ocean at 1st per shanker, showed he was ready to negotiate, but then totally changed his mind. no negotiation only victory was told final victory. before that he was playing a route in ukraine, resumed bombing, and shelling are cities. ah. when they say that there are only towers here? what terrace are we terror in the book with when they come to your house with

guns to kill you, you don't have to think about whether you need to pull the trigger. you need to defend yourself. the enemy has come. these people aren't him and they come to kill you and your family. thousands joined the protest in the southeast in regions. done as can will ganske, but claim themselves people's republics. ah, are refugees from ukraine's eastern dumbass region have been granted the right to vote in the referendums on the future of their homeland footing isn't away. and the done yes. and no guns. people's republics, as well as upper origin, hassan regions on whether to join the russian federation. according to ross of all sorts is more than $4200.00 migrants from dom bus are living in the region,

including $1700.00 children. most of them were forced to flee the homes due to the ongoing conflict in ukraine. 135 pulling stations are open across the region and a big those eligible to cast their vote. will keep you updated on sunday, march the 3rd day of voting in those referendums. ah, moving on now. washington must prepare to be battle ready. that's according to u. s. air force commander. this is the country's armed forces. it should be willing to sacrifice their lives to kill enemies. i'm interested in being the most lethal force. the world has ever known. lethality matters most. you will get 0 sympathy from me about having to do big things quickly and about the significant challenges that exist. let's speak now to retired u. s. air force to tenants,

colonel tarren krakowski. karen, welcome to audience and us was great to have you with us today. good to be here. now general my committee, honey. he says that lethal etc. masses most oh, what do you make of that statement? and he's not even surprising. it's all from someone in his position. it is a little surprising until you study the man himself and his career path. and what he's dealing with in today's united states air force, particularly mobility command, which is where he's the commander of withdrawal from afghanistan is a prime example of something that caused a lot of last face. it was, it was a political action, very poorly planned by the military, but they did respond like all military's due to the politicians and they made it, they made it happen good or bad. and he's trying to motivate really an unmotivated air force, an air force that feels that they're pushed around,

shoved around, they have a lot of bureaucracy. and he's speaking to that is he's very anti bureaucratic. he's very what he thinks is innovative. and his language is meant to inspire is these airman and he's doing it in a way that is a little them a little different. the ssl is certainly sounds like it now can you, you seem to think that this statement was intended for a domestic audience for given some of the, the tensions around the world. at the moment. obviously there's a conflict in ukraine than this. china and taiwan. so what extent do you believe that this is also targeted as an international audience to summits just to some extent? yes, but i still think domestic. it's the military himself, this military he's talking to. but also in washington d. c. the people that will promote him to be the secretary there for some day that

the chairman of the j. c. f. a. me, he is looking for his own career and the neoconservatives in washington. absolutely love what he is saying. it doesn't matter that it's not particularly connected to reality mobility command. air transport certainly delivers weapons, weapons kill people. but it's not a direct, it's not a direct link in the way that he is, is using those terms. so i don't think he's i honestly think he's speaking to americans and americans like this language. you know, americans, you know, we, we like this war your mentality, this war, your heart, this idea that we will vanquish our enemies. it doesn't matter that our enemies are not defined and that in fact we, we actually don't have a direct enemies anywhere. we shouldn't be it or because we don't have those kind of enemies. what americans eat better? he is motivating his airman, and he's motivating the neoconservatives in in

d. c as well as they'll be promoting him at some point. so it okay, by been incentive for an incent holdings for i'm sure there are people around the world listening to this. i'm not sure we know that you asthma checked size is all set to take place in the in the pacific region. next year. what do you think of statements like this have on tensions in the endo pacific? how do you think they affect them? oh, certainly he is talking up the american capability right now. he's talking it in terms of air mobility deliver, delivering a goods and ammunition and all that ordinance. he is speaking aggressively again reflecting it politicians in d. c, very aggressive language, but he's doing so in a kind of to bring everybody else along. because as you know, holing in america says that americans are not interested in fighting china. they're

not interested in finding russia. they're not that interested in ukraine. and they certainly don't want to have world war 3 come down on top of everything else that's happened in the past 3 or 4 years. so these things are not popular, but he's trying to popularize them again in a domestic way. but yes it, i mean, it speaks to a certain type of aggression that is popular in the united states and particularly popular in the biden administration. there's no doubt about that biking promoted this guy, right. i'm just going to pick your a one quotes curran given his sort of tone that he's expressed these sorts of sentiments. dominique hm. is, is, is quoted in the media as saying when you can kill your enemy. every parts of your life is better than really gain traction with, with a certain contingency in american society. honestly, i think only chicken hawks feel that way. only politicians feel that way. i don't think i think in fact, that is so wrong. this is why we have so much mental health issues amongst our

returning military. they don't get satisfaction from killing their. 1 so that's, it's not satisfying, it's actually quite disturbing. and he, he's preaching to, he's trying to motivate his own people and a speaking a language that really only people that don't fight or is like to hear. yes is certainly no, no try think matter, killing someone. i'm many people suffer very long term psychological consequences from the current krakowski tied us for stuff tenant, kind of thank you very much for your insight today. thank you. thank you. lou or fox news channel host tucker carlson, has condemned what he called kids attempts to push the us into a new class. stand off with russia. even questioning the sonnus of mind. a president lindsey's office this week president zalinski of ukraine gave an interview to the left wing newspaper, the guardian. and it, he casually called for the united states to nuke. vladimir putin seen people do not

talk this way ever call since reaction follows. a statement from president zalinski is office. that allies should be ready to hit russian nuclear sites. as soon as moscow quotes even thinks of carrying out nuclear strikes with duncan holic human and labor rights lawyer brundage ukrainian administration statement in saying, no, i think it's insane. i think that's a correct ha, categorization of what's zalinski saying? you don't threaten to a nuke. another country, and by the way, all the russians have been doing that will, i think, will rush has been saying is that it will defend itself and use every means. it has to defend itself, but it's not threatening to new, get anyone. and i think the more you talk about nuclear war, the more you talk about anything the more that the likelihood. busy of the, of that thing happening, what i'm hearing from western leaders and us leaders. sounds like they are

willing to go to war with russia in any war with russia as a great likelihood of nuclear war. so i think we have to take it very, very seriously. i think the american people are not taking it seriously enough. i think they should be on the streets, protesting this, saying that they do not support nuclear war under any circumstances. forma, italian prime minister, just epic on say a has said that this week's general election is a choice between supporting ukraine or been able to pay energy bills. he won't pay . so air conditioning. unfortunately, we all had to turn off. the air conditioning come, we don't know if we will be able to turn on the heating with these expensive bills . i mean, while germany is also suffering a severe energy crisis, despite the country's economy minister calling throughout the conflict, so abundant impulse from russia. he's now flagging the problems caused by the policy. i mean, soonest. i think that by early summer we will have

a largely reduced our dependence on coal from russia. and by autumn we will be able to do without rush and coal altogether. as for oil, i expect russian and ports to be cut in half by the summer does embargo shut his mouth off the embargo? i've said it several times and i'll repeat it. we're working towards independence from russian, coal, oil, and gas. we work every day to create the conditions and steps towards an embargo, and that in my opinion, and that of the federal government is the right way to go. and when that harms putin every day with you on. clearly in my head. sure. and i think we are experiencing the severe energy crisis triggered by the loss of energy production. russia has stopped gas deliveries in a volume of 55000000000 cubic meters of gas, and that is the amount that came via nor stream one. new gas has to be procured on the world market in france. more than half of the nucular power plants have been shut down. this great major problems with electric supply to the grid,

which together drives up prices. these together have triggered an external shock that has hit the country heart, both consumers and companies in germany. while surging energy costs are bad news for the e u, there's certainly a silver lining for the u. s. which is seeing a number of european steel fertilizer and chemical firms. relocating nef the cheapest supplies, washington's pledge to help europe through the crisis also means there's some big money to be made. we are now in very active discussions with our european partners about banning the, the import of russian oil. so we want as europeans to diversify away from russia towards suppliers that we trust that our friends and that are reliable and therefore the u. s. commitment to provide the european union with additional at least 15000000000 cubic meters of ellen g. not only will ellen g

supplies from the u. s. commit to a hefty price with brussels report to li, paying up to $200000000.00 for every time to delivery. experts have raised concerns over whether america actually has the capacity to fulfill all of your energy needs . the strategic oil reserves, for instance, have now had a 40 year low down 28 percent since january. earlier we spoke to 2 political experts. you both say that you sanctions on russia will only cause harm to the economies of the blocks member states. any people wish that our minister of economic would have stuck to write the children books instead of destroying the german economy. what he does, and this is exactly what they are facing. so many companies are going away or are going bankrupt by chance. this is exactly what you can read in those secret paper from the rand corporation who developed this as a plan to destroy european or german economy as

a competitor for the us and to increase the revenues from europe to, to help us to succeed a little bit longer the us is not able to subsidize the energy need of europe. they don't even want to do this. what they want, if they want to harm europe, they want to destroy the european economy because they think they are their competitors. this is nothing in favor of the or be against the europeans and they have to see this when people act you rationally. it's very hard to understand exactly what all the motivation works that lead to this. clearly the main access throughout the brain prices from 2014 to the present day has been the united states . but the european leaders have been happy to follow germany, which was only just a few years ago seen us. and we can all make rival to the united states is now facing. we're speaking,

the crisis is phase the and the world war 2. so the united states is sitting fricky, united states is a major energy producer. europe in europe is an energy consumer. so why on earth the europe leaders think that this policy of sanctioning russia, which you saw is one of the biggest energy producers in the world was actually work and not need to and you cannot make disaster for europe. those are the top stories from the week is gone, whatever you want. so i hope you having a great weekend. i'm just gonna call me back with another look at the top of the hour. i'll see you that ah ah, ah

ah, 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 a very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i'll see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk with

ah with . mm hm. gone welcome to world war. the favorite topic for political analyst over the last couple of months has moved from the realm of speculation into a fast cheating reality. with russia announcing personal mobilization,

what it sees as a war with nature and the collective quest. no more. it's not a proxy war. and not the trading of sanctions loan now to conflict with already thousands of data on both sides. can anything be done to prevent further installation to discuss it. i'm now joined by demetrius constance, a couple of political analyst. i'm for my advisor to your degree prime minister address on jo demetrius. it's a great pleasure, great honor for me to talk to you and i really like this opportunity to communicate . because i think we, we may not have it for a long time because russia and europe seem to be enemies yet again. and those differences tend to be truly irreconcilable. what are you seeing? it's all heading. thank you for your invitation. thank you for you to be with you and was your i'm happy about am i happy also, for the reasons for that topic to discuss today because it is to

who are sending everything indicates that we're heading to a very important crisis. and i would want to exaggerate if i would say that this is a potential of setting even the survival of humanity in different ways and took it should be a musician, at least i don't want to be too alarmist, but it all indications with him for him to, to said there was a nuclear level on the ecological level and on the economic and well do need to be que. alarm is because a, i don't know if you follow the rushing is, but there are some president and his defense minister just the other day i characterize that comes with ration and you can not just, you know, continue regional confrontation, but a full blown war with natal.
