to look for common ground with russia accuses ukraine's president of trying to start a world war. thought of a lot of major lensky calls for a preemptive strike against russia by nato b. u. s. 32, and he can normally can, lifeline to its political rivals. in venezuela says washington reportedly proposed to ease sanctions on iraq as an exchange with cheap oil comes in the wake of the opec plus decision to flash its crude output and the latest the sanctions could effectively cut off the country from russian oil

supplies. all some other european leaders war that national economies would eventually snap as a result. with a very, we're welcome to you. this is the international with the latest world news update is good to happy with us. i almost go say ukraine's president is calling for the start of a world war. no soft of laudermill, zalinski nato, to carry out a 1st strike against russia. shopper when that'll boise, what should nato do? eliminate the possibility of russia using nuclear weapons? i once again appeal to the international community as it was before february 24th. we need preemptive strikes so that russia would know what awaits them if they use nuclear weapons, not the other way around him to wait for rushes nuclear strikes and then say, oh no. okay, then take this job, michel, diety, voice you. well,

let's get some more details on this. now for marty's contributor rachel marston, rachel, nice to see you now. quite a bold statement now from the ukranian president, a talent more on what this could mean for the development of the conflict, especially now that the ukrainian military's attacking territories that have just joined russia. so listening carefully towards zalinski is saying here, he's not advocating for nato to nuke russia. i think it's important to point that out. it's not talking specifically about nuclear weapons. he specifically using the term preemptive strikes. so conventional strikes, preventive strikes. now, these are unilateral strikes, it seems like he's advocating for when taken outside of the authorization of the united nations security council process. here's what kremlin spokesman dmitri pet scave, had to say and reaction this statement by president

zalinski must be taken into consideration by every country in the world. and especially washington london and the you states. such statements are nothing else but a call to initiate a new world war with unpredictable disastrous consequences. and they mustn't go unnoticed by the west. this latest stephen from zalinski should really be a waco call for anyone who thought that zalinski had any interest in peace. he's calling now out, right for a disastrous escalation. europe in particular, should take this as a wake up call for what they've been enabling the blocks human rights authority. the council of europe explicitly denounces any unilateral preventive actions as a major violation of international law. now it is always considered, for example, the us attack on iraq again, for preventive reasons, citing weapons of mass destruction as a total violation of international law, and is called relentlessly for an end to those hostilities when they were ongoing.

now, here's the lensky egging on us, lead nato, to do the same thing to russia and the u. i should know better at this point as well. it's come out in the new york times, for example, in the past few days, that the u. s. intelligence community knew or now knows that ukrainian government was complicit in the car bombing of diarrhea, duke and not in moscow. so there's been an incremental escalation in actions here on the part of ukraine. now, the ball is really in europe's court. will it denounce? zalinski is dangerous rhetoric, the clearly advocates for everything it claims to stand against. just a few days ago, the western mainstream media was hyperventilating, accusing russia. nuclear blackmail over the reality. the yes, it does possess nuclear weapons. so are they now going to be freaking out over zalinski? is blayton demand that the west set off world war 3 for ukraine?

there is a big question on everyone's minds right now. and i'll take contributor rachel moss and many thanks for that, rachel. i. okay. well, we're joined by a panel of guests now we're, we're joined by american experts on international security issues. marks. labeau to veteran greek diplomatically disc is on top of this on human rights fluid down to valley. many thanks to 3. if you for joining us on the program, really appreciate your time. first question to lead us please. what do you make of the latest statement here mean, considering that he's the president of a non native country urging nato to attack russia. yes, i agree with rachel that he did not mention about making a nuclear attack or as a parent strike to russia. but if nato attacks in any way, russia, that's a 3rd world war, because russia is going to retaliate against all nato member states. and that would

be the end of, of europe and perhaps over humanity. once we start playing these kinds of games. and i cannot understand why the leaders of the, of the west are urging themselves to commit suicide. i cannot understand that, but it is. but we must also not forget that last week it was when a is an entropy, again said that he's going to apply for a fast track application to join nato. and of course, it was positively accepted by some nato countries. but recently the united states came out and said that it's not the moment to do that because even that would cause a cause, a war between the west and russia with the destructive

consequences for humanity. so this is a very strange game that is being played. it's a very dangerous game and it is very interesting for the world and for, for, for humanity. and i think that this should stop and i hope that the west just doesn't give any more importance to words. and then you said then starts ignoring him. i would say what mr. moxley, bowden should be taking the lens, his latest statement with a pinch of salt or should we be very concerned and what do you make of the response from moscow? which is code is words and attempts to start a world war. yeah, i agree, i think we have to take his words in the context of his larger statements. he is talking about a preventative 1st the nuclear strike, by the way, he says the international community, he means the west of course,

the u. s. the u. k. in france, the nuclear powers, and i think that if there was any doubt thus far, he is unhinge, for i am concerned for his mental health. he is obviously willing to risk nuclear arm a get in to preserve his regime. and i don't think that russia or other state leaders are that are dealing with him, can any longer consider him to be a rational actor. and we also have to take this in the context of his recent actions. he has ordered his military forces in the law over the last 2 months to continually shell and attack with kamikaze drones, the zappa rosure nuclear power plant, whatever his absurd denials to the contrary. obviously attempting to create some type of defacto dirty bomb incident. so kind of a nuclear scorched earth policy in his own country. when he was present they were

particularly targeting the spent fuel containers on this facilities territory. and those attacks continue to this day and i think we're dealing with someone extremely dangerous. so i think if there are anything actors left of any positions of power within the key regime that they should be doing the right thing and seeking to remove him from power as soon as possible. and if western leaders do not immediately denounce his statement and back away from it, i think we have to consider them complicit. i mean, they have been accusing the russian president, both in governments in, in media over the last 2 was just over the last week of, of nuclear threats and nuclear back mail. simply saying that he would use any means

necessary, all means at his disposal to defend the russian, russia, and the russian people. here we have their client pop it who is asking for demanding a nuclear preventative strike as he calls it on roger, what won't this man do? i think we really need to take a look for false flag. incidences, ad being a real possibility, either of the dirty bomb type or god forbid this man gets his hands on a tactical new coming over to mr. dunn valley can obviously very both statements from president lensky bear. i suppose. a big question though, and everyone's minds is how nato and cindy west is going to respond to it, whether they will have a cold or whether they will ignore them. what do you think that they going today? well, certainly, i hope that they reject these calls. i agree with the other commentators that

what he on or with risk world war 3, which would probably be a nuclear war, which is completely unacceptable. i do think it's a good sign that nato rejected. is that the application for membership very recently, which is probably a sign that they don't want to get more directly involved in this war. obviously, natives already involved in all that, but not in a very overt way. i think they want to avoid the appearance of that and so i think they will reject the landscape call. but i do think it's dangerous. what he's calling for. i agree that his attacks on the nuclear power plant are very dangerous . obviously we had the attack on north 32, which is an escalation of the war, and you know, i have no doubt the u. s. was beyond that, so we're in a very dangerous moment. i mean, what nato should do,

what the us should do is work very hard towards the negotiated settlement of this conflict between ukraine and russia. up till now, we know the u. s, and you can get it done everything they can to prevent from breaking out. but i think in the interest of the world, they have to work towards the negotiated settlement. i come back to you. i lena lynn. it is bertha c. i, a director on the us defense secretary has admitted it is there's no evidence of an imminent nuclear threat from russia, but the western mainstream media hasn't really picked up on those statements. so why is that you think well, it's, it is the property of the west to scare the populations of the west and to make them more anti anti russian. i mean, which is this is, this is one of the mess. messages that are the negation that went to saint

petersburg, conveyed back to the greek people that what is happening in russia would absolutely nothing. life continues there, as normally this is not conveyed by the western press. that is, that is showing that there is a situation in russia with people leaving not to be drafted. and it's part of this propaganda campaign that, that, that, that is being played. and it's, it's very, very serious also to like to add, one more point about this, this crisis here in greece. we're having a very serious situation with threats, turnkey, turnkey is a threatening to attack grease. so some of it science and it's going to take, as it is going to take the opportunity over over major war in,

in the ukraine to do that. and this is something that is of concern of the greek people at the moment. and this is why the greek people would like to see the situation to calm down a little bit in, in, in the ukraine. and coming back to you mark. it will be interesting to see how this latest statement from the landscape will be picked up in the mainstream media and represented whether they will and will be saying, okay, well this is a bit too far, whether they will be, you know, joining up support for his requests and what do you think? yeah, i think that they will probably adopt a policy of denial. i mean, that is been their general policy as far you know, they, they have denied that the regime has been shelling its own people in east ukraine for the last 8 years. they tried, they, they said that they were shelling themselves and they said that russian forces were

showing themselves in the zap rose or nuclear power plant. they said that that diarrhea, doogan originally was killed by the russian fs bay or sacrifice and some type of assa or ritual by her father. they said that nord stream to russia blew up its own $30000000000.00 pipeline. they will continue the policy denial and tried to catch his words in a different last threatening light. but i don't think that anyone with a brain cell is going to buy that. and this would actually really concerns me is that when put and made his recent speech, when he talked about defending russia by all means at his disposal. and that was spun out of all control in the western mainstream media as some type of nuclear threat. what they are neglecting to tell the audience is that in the paragraph directly before that statement,

and in the paragraph after made clear that he was talking about in reference to nuclear threats. the threat to use nuclear weapons against russia that he had received from high ranking western officials and politicians, which he said very clearly. this puts zelinski statements in an even more frightening light that there may be some type of implicit backing for statements like this. we have time for one final question for mister alec done. so we find ourselves, perhaps the closest we've ever been to a nuclear war since the cuban missile crisis, back in 1900. 62, of course back then diplomacy eventually prevailed. but do you think the key decision makers of today have learned enough lessons from history? i don't think they've learned lessons from history because i don't, i don't think they know history. i mean that especially in the united states. yeah,

i mean, we should look to the cuban missile crisis or how to get out of this, you know, john f. kennedy you know, he worked hard to negotiate a deal with crew chef. it was a given take. he agreed not to attack cuba. he agreed to take nuclear weapons out of turkey in return, recruit the missiles out of cuba. that isn't, i've been to go, she ation, we need today. but you don't see any of that happening from the us. you don't see the u. s. helping to negotiate a solution and back you see them interfering to prevent solution from being agreed to. so that is very, very trouble. let's thank all of our guests for joining me on the show this evening . we've been speaking to american expert on international security issues. marks about a veteran, greek diplomat, lee and it is chris on populace and human rights fluid duncanville many thanks to 3 of the really appreciate your time. thank you. now moving on the us is

reportedly desperate to secure cheap oil imports from venezuela. and i said to be in talk to ease sanctions on the mature government and exchange for energy supplies . it comes off to the opec plus group decided to slash its oil output, which is expected to keep fuel prices high. meanwhile, the largest us, the oil trade groups, wrote a less energy secretary jennifer granholm. so they're very concerned that washington is considering limiting its fuel exports in order to lower consumer prices. they said this move could only disrupt global markets, reduce domestic refining capacity, and alienates us allies to find and is being called out by a prominent fox news home. stay with this sabotage if the north stream gas pipelines from russia to germany. where might some americans have gotten the notion that the by the administration might have been involved directly through

a proxy in the destruction of the north stream pipelines? why would they think that they certainly didn't watched on russia today? or t has been pulled off the air when they learned from joe biden himself, he's the president. there will be no longer a nurse tube to we, we will bring it into the secretary state. in the bite administration, mr. tony blanket bragged about how great the sabotage of north stream was and we're quoting, it's a tremendous opportunity, said tony blanket. it's a great thing. not a tragedy, a victory with a host of unties. well, the pilot program works on a boy co joined to be in the studio earlier to break down the ramifications of the opec plus oil outputs decrease. white has already described this move as a hostile act, and it's a very interesting warning because if you start from a promise that the rest of the world is supposed to be serving your interest, done everything that's for your interest would be a wholesale act. but saudi arabia, in many of the opec members, are considered traditionally

u. s. allies. and the fact that they have pretty much ignored, very, very active american law being shows that things are changing in the world. and countries are starting to pursue that own interest. the white house has yet again tried to put all the blame on russia, but i think the current division shows the even closest american alice and no longer paying attention to anything that washington is saying or doing directly pursuing their own interest just last september. and it came out that while the united states is facing such a major shortage of oil, it's sold around $10000000.00 barrels out of the strategic all the reserves to be chinese, to the chinese company. some shares of which are owned by a hunter, biden's investment for him. so while the situation is pretty, pretty dramatic, this profit hearing very glaring, very obvious profiteering still goes on and, you know, it's, it's pretty amazing to see how the old schemes continued despite the fact that the

situation is pretty, pretty daring. and yesterday, often this decision was made, i spoke to the former advisor to the saudi energy minutes. and he said, you know, this decision is not emotional is not politically scientific as a scientific decision. it's not the entire thing, but it's, it's serving the objective, practical, national interest then the, you know, it's, it's interesting to see that they have the seminar to do that. primarily because the bottom mr. has been everything to alley and made my menu with allies. the ear is the only one that seems to be left in the so called american camp. and surprisingly, your is, you know, it is a book of countries. it has absolutely no oil reserve. it would be interesting to see how there will be doing with, with that situation, unlike the even the united states that have its own strategic all reserves and the bite. an administration has been living happily when it's over the last year. the,

besides the reserve diminished by almost a 3rd from more than 600000000 barrels to some with about 400000000 barrels. and the vitamin ministration announce yet again, that they are going to release another $10000000.00 to try to heat, to try to ease the markets and those, those additional barrels will hit the market right around the time of the mid term elections that may provide some response but the problem is that when you are emptying your reserves on such a short term perspective, the time to pay for that will come and it will come very soon because those reserves will have to be replenished and they will have to be replenished at much higher prices so it's essentially they are trying to use that strategic reserves to aid the biden's. 3 standing in the polls, but even if they win, even though the democrats, when they will have to address that problem, a couple of months down the line, know they've been a couple of years a couple of months. meanwhile, the e u has officially adopted

a its 8th package of sanctions against moscow, including the 4 former ukrainian regions that recently joined russia after referendums there, then the restrictions include a price cap on oil imports from russia by sea. although pipeline supplies are not affected. some importance of russian goods, like steel, paper and plastic and now also bands plus there are measures prohibiting e u, exposed to rushes, such as coal, aviation equipment, and certain chemicals are just by the e u. sanction being aimed at russia. so b and officials say they're the ones who will have to pay the price. well, even in the e itself, some top officials, the warning that europeans will buy the bronze of the political decisions in brussels. the european union has again proven that it is a club of countries that once had their soldiers install and grad. the only consistency in this policy is revenge upon free people. serbia was forbidden to import russian oil through the adriatic pipeline. but po, guerria was not,

serbia is forced to buy more expensive iraq oil and thus lose hundreds of millions of euro's the could have been used more effectively. we are risking a massive d industrialization of the european continent and the long term consequences of that might actually be very deep. our populations are getting invoices which are completely insane. at some point it will snap. i understand that people are angry. people don't have the means to pay for it. belgrade base political analysts, alexander povich, they said via is being punished for refusing to join what is essentially an e used suicide packs. all the serbian high officials from the president prime minister to the minister of defense. they just protest, larry b, a man niger because it is practically sanctioned measure against serbia. and, you know, we all know why that is, is because serbia, the alone country. you know, in this part of europe practically in all of europe,

which is not, which is refusing to impose sanctions against russia. so this is also seen as a kind of a threat and a revenge at revenge at serbia on the part of the, you know, imposing sanctions against russia. we're trying to deny serbia song, geo political choices. it choices to be neutral in a conflict. they're trying to, they're trying to waste serbia, u. d p u suicide. while ukraine say this determined to hunt down, anyone who believes to have collaborated with russia, the british tabloids, the daily mail has published an article about the apparent extrajudicial killings of former senior officials saying that ukrainian troops can even shoot such individuals on side a man hunt for collaborators has been declared, their lives are not protected by law or intelligence services or eliminating them,

shooting them like pigs. the daily mail revelations come as a surprise as its attic hell contains a number of accusations against the russian military and russian intelligence allegedly committed atrocities. but a significantly bigger part of it is all about her merciless ukrainians are hunting . all those loyal to the russian forces and joint forces administrations on the ground and killing them like pig. this is something that one would never expect from a democratic country. ha, that's the west bush's everybody to believe ukraine is. the article also says that has revenge killings orchestrated by ukraine. special forces have been recently increasingly well organized. here's another quotation. let's take a listen. others are being tracked down and slaughtered by resistance fighters. a list passed to this newspaper by a key government source identifies 29 such retribution killings with 13 morrison nation attempts that left some targets wound it. well, it's true that, that we never heard things like these from a daily mail kind of media,

but it's low for the 1st time that we learn about key regimes. war on all those who are they believe, and collaborating with the russian and join forces on the ground earlier r t made an exclusive report on as we you agent till yemen that took was job was to organize terror acts and murders targeting pro russian politicians throughout harrison region and earlier this week we heard at personal advice from ukraine's vice prime minister st. collaborators run away. that a tragic thing is that keeps term collaborator is in fact include a very wide range of people from those who actively held the russian military on the ground to those who simply agreed to receive humanitarian aid from moscow. she, literally, anyone who agreed to stay in the area after rushes to control. we now hear reports about massive arrests of teachers, doctors, ordinary workers, and the areas left by the russians. and we year that up to 40 people get

detained every day. this is what ukraine's defense ministry says, and i have to remind you that these are just normal, simple people doing their everyday job. and even some of you, politicians started questioning this kind of democracy. let's take a listen. the e u says ukraine is fighting to defend democracy from authoritarianism. russia is authoritarian, but western governments plus the media are misinforming by failing to call out anti democracy measures in ukraine, while dissenting voices in the e you are being silenced. this is also authoritarianism. giving back to daily mail publication. the feeling is that although admitting that ukraine is behind a great number of revenge, killings with papers somehow justifying them by saying that yet another uncomfortable truth is but some ukrainians having been assisting russian administrations on the ground. while the fact that later they were hunted and

killed like pig is actually not considered as uncomfortable. these kinds of stories simply do not go with the general narrative that being cultivated among western outlets. which would like for their audiences to believe that ukraine is a thriving democracy, some kind of beacon of freedom in europe as opposed to the state of fascist terror in which ukrainians find themselves today. some of those who were quoted in this daily mail piece include anti garrett shank. both that interior ministry advisor who is one of the founders of the middle board, it kill list i was placed on that kill list last week, many journalists, i know who work with have been placed on this kill list. but all of that, again, is not being reported in mainstream media. either many thanks for joining us here on our end to national and don't forget to check the latest news updates on our website policy dot com.
