oh yes, to shape out a name to come to an engagement. it was the trail. when so many find themselves will depart, we choose to look for common ground. ah, western defense chiefs, this goes to the new art supplies to you, train with yet another huge u. s. a. package and i but there's still no decision by germany than whether to send it coveted leopard. as western states moved about, more weapons into ukraine, russia shines a light on they deadly results. not a un security council meeting where a victim's mother revealed. wealthy resident jumped on boss or injury.

a resident jumped on past due. so cold persistence of the classic mines have things on a, with a quote, seismic shake for us democracy. russia is foreign ministry, react to a conservative u. s. watchdog records, alleging 1000000000, or george soros phones and media personality stateside to promote isn't with all right. just a few moments into a brand new day here in moscow. and it is the weekend, saturday, january the 21st. welcome to our to see the new center. more weapons to ukraine, but still no german tanks. that's the outcome of a meeting of western defense chiefs out of a u. s. or a base in germany on friday voiced by washington's defense secretary. many of us

for that today's, we will have a break school in the discussion about heavy metal pence. you did mention that at all. don't have any announcements to make on your launch. and you heard the, the german minister of defense say that, but not made a decision, a leopard. so no shiny new toys, just a lot of the hand me downs that had already previously been announced. now all eyes were also on nato defense ministers as they met at this ramstein airbase, near frankfort tom on friday. secretary lloyd austin, basically just use the opportunity to ask america's allies to toss more cash into the pot for the u. s. military industrial complex. oh, i mean ukraine military support spoken like a true board member temporarily. recused for 4 years by the way. and stockholder that he is now canada actually did that. by the way, canada bought

a u. s. made miss how the veg system as a gift to ukraine. so they're basically throwing money at the u. s. military industrial complex for ukraine. and now austin announced all the western allies that are also donating their olds, us patriot missiles systems to ukraine. gas. that means that the u. s. needs to make more to replace them for their allies. how about that? i had of this meeting there. is there been a lot of pressure on berlin, notably from ukraine and from some of its european allies to cough up leopard 2 tanks, which no country can re export under german law without berlin's permission and berlin's position has been that it won't budge on the issue unless washington sends its abrams tanks 1st. so germany has basically been telling the u. s. i won't jump unless you do and the u. s. is looking at germany and saying no, you go 1st. so they're both just kind of staying there at the edge of this cliff with no one willing to take the leap on this tank issue. now as recently as is week,

there were report citing senior pentagon officials, including under secretary for defense policy calling call, who said that washington simply wasn't ready to take that leap of sending tanks abram tanks to keep citing maintenance and training issues. now, even nato supreme allied commander, europe, or u. s. general christopher or can volley said this week of western tanks, quote, there is not a particular weapon system that is a silver bullet. a balance of all systems is needed. so these statements by actual u. s. military experts clearly diverged from the ideologically driven take of politicians who keep framing western tanks as some kind of magic solution for military victory for ukraine over russian forces. on friday, zelinski made a direct request for the new tanks to the nato defense ministers meeting in germany . poland prime minister mateus mar wiki even said that either warsaw gets berlin's

permission to send its leopard tanks to ukraine. or they'll just go ahead and do it calling consent, a quote to secondary importance. nice example of european unity there when it comes to being careful about potential escalation. apparently it's o cater runaround off leash as long as their hearts in the right place. it's like the drivers slams on the brakes, trying to play hero to a pedestrian waned across the street, not realizing that he's going to get a whole lot of people run over and killed this chivalry act. by the way, what exactly is this all this talk of tanks, world war one. if only this crowd could see fit to put as much time and effort into resolving the conflict peacefully as they are in serving up words, salad and paying lip service in response to whatever demands key if tosses of m. and while the u. s. is flowing yet some more weapons into ukraine. moscow convened the un security council to allow the global community to hear firsthand the accounts of those suffering relentless shelling by keith's forces. russia's

ambassador to the un stated constant military assistance by washington and its allies, mix them party to the atrocities committed by ukrainian troops. sicily avenue was quick usa, since care coordinator, the use of western weapons and targets with representatives of the supplying states loafer. we have every reason to assert that the united states and nato, a consciously and intentionally complicit in the crimes of nearly every shame against the civilian population of dumbass soldiers in ask and against residents live in constant fear for their lives and at regular shelling money on choices of ukraine, their tragedies happen, but as the criminal regime, which came to power in 2014, readily and obligingly refused to fulfill the geopolitical tasks with western sponsors, it was to weaken russia to fulfil their sacrificing their own citizens, pushing them to war, to the loss ukrainian went to waste his testing new weapons. implicitly getting rid of the old one was soon sharing

a little bit of land later hilton shopped on boston. thanks lie. so cold assistance on the north atlantic lines have been done late months from now to shall send to the quarter symptom battle and they burned their loved ones every day. but maybe one of you can go and talk to people about how to. so just of the analysis of ukraine and the nationalist dissolves battalion using tang smartest to shoot their houses. how snipe is shot people who came out of their basements, the food and mortar store, in the serbian american journalist, and and boyish and mileage, believed nato's abundant supplies. the key of his war evidence the west doesn't consider the plight of dunbar civilians. the west is basically trying the whole, it doesn't matter what is it only matters what we say is technique and they're saying, oh, well, you know, we're not a party to conflict. how were you not part of a conflict? oh, because we say, well, you've armed this country you've, you've sent it weapons, you've sent it advisors, you've sent it intelligence. you're literally paying the salaries of its government

officials. it's again a scant 2 point oh, at this point. but no, you are, you're technically not responsible because you say so. i mean, they're not concerned at all. not in the slightest bit any, any person on the other side of the line, any russian casualties or civilians and on that are simply no concern to them at all. they don't exist, or they're considered legitimate targets. they've said this explicitly, they said it implicitly, the simply don't give a damn. we are finally colleagues with the us. those were the mocking words of the wagner groups co founder over a decision by washington to brantley private russian military company, a trump national criminal organization. these actions recognize the trans continental threat that wagner poses, including through it's ongoing pattern of series, criminal activity, pmc, wagner, and americans. finally, colleagues, relations can now be called a clash and criminal gangs. well let's get the take my come maloof,

michael is a former senior security policy analyst in the office of the us secretary of defense on this most welcome to the program. so the us treasury, michael, is to designate the wagner group as a criminal organization. what's behind not labeling in your view? well, it's a type of label that, that the united states places on anybody disagrees with. and if you're not with us, you're against this and, and therefore you go on, our terrorists lists are, are criminal list and the sanctions are becoming almost meaningless. i don't think the wagner group hasn't investments in the united states . it has some limited ability. when it comes to other companies or countries other than in europe,

anywhere that might want to supply or, or, or provide or, or even allow members of wagner to, to, to bank with them. but it's, it's a, it's very limited impact in effect. and it's not going to cripple wagner by any means. the moves by the treasury come shortly after the grip took control of the key ton of solid door. in dawn, both the white house has acknowledged russian advances are not regions, but appears to be done playing them. we can take a listen together to what john kirby had the same even if they are successful in but move solar, it's not going to strategically change the dynamics on the battlefield. it's not going to set the ukrainians back to a degree where they're all of a sudden on their backward and they're, they're losing it coming out in the defensive really? is that rhetoric linked to the fact that solid was taken by russian forces?

yeah it's, it's very clear that that, that what the curve is talking about is it was a, but even though the united states doesn't want to admit, it was a painful success. and the represents the success that russia accomplished in month and, and it's, it's obviously has this thing in effect, otherwise, i hope they say what have gone to this, this extreme. so it, it, it's just the united states trying to be bombastic in and show itself to be in charge of some kind and, and expect that wagner group is just going to wimp away someplace because it was sanctioned. that's not, that's not going to be the case at all. i just think that this, this is all just rhetoric, nonsense and, and,

and in game playing by the united states. another aspect of this, the bi administration previously mold the carrying wagner, a terrorist organization. and why do you think portion can switch to the term criminal? well, it's because it's, it's because the united states itself could be labeled a terrorist group. and in fact, wagner and the others are declaring this, such. and it's, it's anybody that anybody that goes in and attacks other countries like the united states as and then just leave that ravished, even after 20 years. i think it, you have no other conclusion that if someone's going to come to your country and invaded and just rip it asunder and, and make it extremely poor. that the, that's

a terrorist activity. but it's like the ancient conquerors. who would, you know, go across continents and, and lay siege to places and it's, we're doing, we're just doing it in a modern way that we use aircraft carriers and air and aircraft itself and, and, and now we're, we're, we're, we're be in the proxy to the to the ukrainians and russia could do the same thing of it. there's always a tit for tat here. nothing has changed. it's. it's just a modern day version of terror period. by the united states, we shouldn't even been there the 1st voice. i didn't give him the scale. i would suggest of us private military companies themselves involved in conflicts. us? yes. been going through around the globe. it's hard not to think of this as something of a case of double standards. well yeah, because there is an international element to the ukrainian forces and they're all

pnc or private military contractors. people who have been in the u. s. military, they, they retire and they pop on over there and that continue on, but with what they know best. and it's no different. and we just as just as we, we make accusations about one side. we are doing the same thing. i mean, this just, it, that's why this whole thing is just so senseless. and it's costing tremendous treasure in life. and it's not, and it's just unnecessary, but they have a, they have a goal of political goal and it's, it's an ideological goal. and that's what's driving this thing is i the ology and trying to label one guy a bad guy. the other guy, a good guy in all of this is just nonsense. appreciate your tick. i was all was

mike, i'm a former senior security policy and listed in the office of the us secretary of defense, michael. many thanks. thank you. ah no. the u. s. national guard is reportedly providing training to tie one's armed forces as washington's concerns over a perceived chinese threat. gross. according to media reports, military training started early last year. when the ty, when he's president commented on the cooperation of the national guard on, ty, pays defense forces. so the former is able to be mobilized on the discretion of washington. the national guards also play the role in training the ukrainian military as well helping to boost the combat readiness of troops in 2014 while cooperation between kiev and the u. s. military branches said to be remaining strong. the conflict continues asian effort, especially as nelson wong believes washington's priorities increasingly fail to take into account other country's interest. on the one hand,

the u. s. without the white house has been telling beijing that we do not support independence. taiwan, we recognize the one china policy, but in the meantime, they're also, you know, creating a lot of taishan across the taiwan street. so, you know, all these fabricated. china threats is they come from nowhere. it's quite obvious that all they want to achieve is to maintain its role as the only people all over the world, because they want to control the rest of the world for its own, you know, purpose to serve its own purpose. so this is, this is why books bluntly, they want to remain as the only superpower. however, we also realize that outside forces like us is trying to, to interfere into the domestic affairs of china. so,

but the chinese wisdom is not to engage in that direct confrontation, but also set the lives quite clearly. ah, the bbc is peddling and narrative again. the words of the indian external refers minister as a new documentary is released by the british broadcaster that some are calling a hit piece on the current indian prime minister, no rend remedy if anything, this film or documentary is a reflection on the agents and individuals that are peddling this narrative again, it makes us wonder about the purpose of this exercise and the agenda behind it. and frankly, we did not wish to dignify such efforts. the bias like of subjectivity and continued colonial mindset is blatantly visible. bbc is to bart documentaries. see these called in there, the more the question, whatever that means has been slammed by india labeling. 8

a propaganda piece. the documentary is about the 2000 to which arthritis and marines are more. these are all in the violence in his home state. now it's to the 2000 to withdraw thrive for the worst edward community rides that india has ever seen. nearly 2000 people had lost their life. it's also true that initially the blame was been on mr. moore, they were not being able to cobb the wilander, but the supreme court of india has rubbish. all those allegations, in fact, a special investigation steam and 2012 has also given mr. moore, the, the clean, chit, the documents a face to mention any or that in fact the document read at 1st to a u. k. government report that claims that are in the us prime minister and then chief minister all could draw noreen, the more they had proactively stop the police from preventing the riots. hello

kim and we have lots of question marks and lots of new paul is considering it does not mention these basics, the supreme court date or the f i. p team findings. this report, in fact, was prepared by a team that was headed by then foreign secretary of the u. k. jack straw. but the question was, the british government holding an inquiry in india, india or a british colony, at least not often 1947. indians are outraged bbc's propaganda series on prime minister modi is aimed at damping his image, so they can as a state, broadcast or cast doubts on india's current foreign policy. our stance on russia or our trade deals with middle east is upsetting the west. they're all hands on deck. this whole back fire and not the 1st time that the west has published,

such reports that rico for colonial mindset. remember in the long has been complaining about the coverage that it gets in the west and press take, for instance, that time magazine or divider in chief. but india also gives it back again. and again, take a look at this previously recorded bbc interview with mr. moore, the, he's, was there more relevant than ever, someone said as a human or a jew, john, try to be just the who mandates vino about them and i talk your british has not breach of the month eggs, but the brits never worried about human rights when millions of indians dined during british rule. take for instance, the sudden massacre or the bring or famine where millions of indians the dying from salvation. while the brits were busy transporting in green to the u. k.

no apology for days by the way. you can't possibly blame mister more the for not being willing to take a lesson a morality in human rights from them. in fact, india, under the leadership of mr. moore, the in the last few years has been extremely fearless. the latest example of india defying western sanctions, and specials to condemn rochelle is offensive in ukraine's, but it looks like the west and the u. k. i simply not getting the point that india has reiterated that it doesn't want on the con, face full king of van mill is in, in dallas, matt as a nuclear blast for american democracy. that is how it rushes foreign ministry has described a recent report by a conservative u. s. watchdog. which claims billionaire or george soros funded leading media figures in the us to promote his views. ortiz kill him up and takes us through the story, the spokesperson for the russian foreign ministry. murray, as

a carver pointed to the report, it was released by the m r. c group to indicate that this is yet another bit of evidence pointing toward why you asked. media is simply not to be trusted fully knighted states. such statement is a nuclear blast. if it is proved that the leads in american media recept money for correct and how they present information, then all the democracy, this taste is wrapped up in their constitution and thrown into the dustbin of history. after all, washington has always insist that that the freedom and impartiality of the media on the basis of the democratic structure of the country. this report documents how george soros, the hungarian born billionaire, has been using his money to influence different media personalities and figures within the united states. and it's media and essentially, you know, trying to push them to put for at

a particular agenda that serves the more liberal wing. busy the western power structure now ah, this is what's included in the report. it's just important to look at the details m r c. businesses. extensive research has uncovered $253.00 journalism and active media groups across the world, financed to the tune of $131000000.00 us dollars between 20162025 sars is enormous. work and finish for pick organizations which allows him to leave an unparalleled footprint on global media. the report was assembled by experts and fox news is reporting on it pretty extensively. they are giving it quite a bit of coverage and indicates what many have pointed to before. i indicate that there are facts to back it up about the. busy role of the open society institute and george soros and his network of political allies and the foundations and associations linked to him and how they push a particularly liberal agenda. now,

it's also worth pointing out that even though fox news is highlighting this report and the role of george soros fox news itself as a record of being rather biased, especially when it comes to international affairs. they tend to report on things without acknowledging much of the reality of international situations. so when people look at us media, they're not seeing a voice that is very credible. they're seeing and the institution an apparatus that is created to serve certain agenda. that seems to be very, very. busy well corrupted a lot of wealthy interests and elements of the power structure pushing it in one direction to serve one particular agenda. the rhetoric from the i did states about human rights and transparency and democracy and the consent to the govern all starts to fall apart. if you look at this and you look at the recent revelations from a law mosque about twitter, and so many of the details that have come out, you can see that in the united states,

there are many powerful interests that are working very, very hard to control and craft public opinion to serve their own ends, journalists, they're not really journalists anymore in this country. and most of the networks and most of the media are far left. they push up are left agenda, they believe in a far left agenda. so this is just kind of the icing on the cake and in many instances, according to the report host of the nbc night, the news tass, he oddly very strangely, but may be very honestly and telling about a year ago, all of a sudden declared in an interview, we don't have to give both sides. we don't have to be fair. fairness is overrated. really, from a journalist from the host of the in the nightly news. fairness is overrated. i'm not saying that's directly related to the sorrows money, but this is the kind of people you're dealing with. they don't report on the billions reportedly given by sorrows to every left wing possible.

i'm from a l g b t q 2. a portion i took took to going easy on criminals, every liberal agenda you could imagine, they don't talk about him being the top donor again, reportedly to democrats all over the country and all over the world. so it, the media is already tainted. this report is interesting and it's important, but this, this is not buying journalists necessarily don't need to be bought unfortunately. and finally this, these are some interesting figures. less than 10 percent of western companies operating in russia have actually left since the conflict started in ukraine. that's the main finding of a study by a swiss institute, which my colleagues re sushi on marina culture ever talk through earlier. what we have is that less than a 9 percent of companies have left the russian market. and from those we have of

course, american ones, european ones and japanese firms, the ones that stayed behind the majority of them are german and closely followed by american. and again, we have the japanese and all this of course comes as we have our politicians and our business elite meeting in switzerland at the world economic form in davos 2nd year. in a row world, we are not seen of russian business men. russian officials bots are they are the talk of the town if you will, because apparently behind the scenes, every one is talking will, how much longer can we continue isolating of russia from the global arena? because obviously it's not only back firing on them, but it's also not having the desire. the fact it's not weaken in russia because russia is getting more investment now from countries like china and india. and even western officials are now discuss unless an experts the sanctions didn't have the kind of immediate impacts that people in the west thought that they might have.

russia is largely isolated from the west. but of course it's not isolated from the rest of the world. the global south has neither condemned russia and it hasn't sanctioned russia. we're seeing more and more people saying that russia is. lauren lee is still making money, but at times it's making even more money than it did before. the special military operation began because, of course, russia is seeking out more partners, is looking for their ease, something that we've been discussing for a very long time. china is eager to do business with russia or india's eager to do business with russia. russia has also been investing in african countries for several years now. just wanting to start, didn't europe try to sever ties with russia? it did, of course, and there were, we have these sanctions. it's now it's been 8 years. but russia has been looking for solutions, been looking for ways out, but now there is another study that i want to talk about. and this one causes not from switzerland but from brussels. and we can take a look at one of those graphs, for example. the 1st one is russia's trade balance with selected countries. and we

can see from those numbers that actually trade has not gone down. if you compare it sits when see 19, for example, 2020. yes. overall, if we compare it to say a year ago, yes, we can see that friend is downwards, but money wise, russia is macon $4.00 times more money now than it did in 2020. let's take a look, for example, ads. a figure eights in from their charts. this is destination of russia's fossil fuel exports among 34 countries. and we can see once again that the trend. yes. recently since the special military operation began, we can see a downward trend butts. compare the money going in to ross's coffers from said 2020 and now still making money more money than it did before. so we can see that it's not really working out. and also russia's budget, it's getting bigger, it's getting fatter. we saw that in these,

despite the actions by unfriendly states and the anti russian sanctions. over the past year, russia managed to extract as much as 535000000 tons of oil. it's 10000000 tons more than the 2021 figure. the exports have risen by 7 percent of it in the state budget income from the oil and gas industry has increased by 20 percent women. maybe they don't want to do a business. so with russia, the european union, ah, the united states, they're saying they're fine or these loud statements. we don't want to do business with us or after the special military operation. but facts speak for themselves. not many companies have left russia and russia is making them more money than it did before the special military operation began. so it's not really working out there or a half a century struggle to return home next week. chronicle the fight by exiles after the u. s. navy expelled the entire creole population of the chico islands in order

to install a military base on the indian ocean.
