to learn more, we came here to help us to speak to victor a couple of years ago. she ologist who is devoted his entire life to the topic. it is a fascinating, at times dangerous, and very important job in african countries want to develop security relations with other nations. this leads to certain reactions the you applies the same philosophy and mentality anywhere in the world. russia, as far as the western countries are applying a neo colonialist approach to africa by when i think nations instead of cooperating with also coming up this our china last washington for betraying it as a barrier to solving africa's debt with beijing coating. the us, the main reason of the continence economic instability at a decade. so george soros publication resurfacing that being the further evidence

to washington soccer chewed to foreign partners by using them as cannon fodder for . it's a political game with very welcome. it's 11 pm here in moscow, and this is audi international with the latest. well news date is very good to have you with our top story of russian foreign minister has a writing as part of an ongoing working trip to africa. so again, our for off was met in the capital by his counterpart and reportedly has plans to meet with the ongoing president as well. it comes off the russian top diplomat to laptop is trip the 2 s what teeny, where the countries foreign minister appraised its relations with moscow. this visit is a testimony to the head to work and efforts the children presented to

is put in. it is enough emission of a long history of cordelia to attend the kingdom of his sweating in the russian federation of the main activity today was the signing of an agreement that will establish a non visa regime or diplomats of both countries. but during the press conference that immediately followed the signing, the foreign minister said that their country's plan to increase cooperation in the spheres of agriculture, science and energy leverage specifically mentioned the need for supplying irrigation systems as well as russian grain to s watson. he also said that the country's officials asked about how russia could help their country conquer it's chronic fertilizer shortage. the russian foreign minister responded that russia has a surplus of fertilizer and has been trying to help africa in that regard. free of charge, but it's been european ports that are detaining around $280000.00 tons of that fertilizer. and the foreign ministers have made an appeal to the united nations to

rectify that situation. nashville, lou, but through the lou, our friends confirm the problems with the supply fertilizers and asked how we could be useful as the country reported that the shortage negatively affects its agriculture. but we talked about delivering our fertilizers, free of charge. last summer, the president, putin, in contact with the un said that 280000 tons were being held up in the ports of you countries. companies that own fertilizers are ready to transfer them to developing countries. but the you is trying to punish us and punish developing countries, considering that the un secretary general advocated for unhindered supplies and boots, we agreed that the governments of russia and us were teenie will send the un chief a proposal to use parts of the detained grain for the needs of us with teeny rushes, foreign minister also expressed that russia's willingness to supply us what teeny, with russian grain may be able to stabilize the country's delicate food situation. now lever, i've also spoke about the french press into manual microns claim that burkina faso

decision to expel french troops as a result of kremlin influence. he said russia doesn't metal in africa's affairs. it just works with countries that are ready to work with moscow. but apparently, russia was essentially told that africa was europe's sphere of influence. a pretty hypocritical statement when considering nato's activities right on russia's doorstep took you. so when you get you while still trying to keep up the act, western countries became interested in why we're here in africa. i replied that we want to develop relations with everyone who's interested in it. so, but they told me that russia should learn that africa is a zone of european interests. earlier you officials said that the balkans are also a zone of their interests and we should not go there. at the same time, the you considered it normal to work near russian borders deal when african countries want to develop security relations with other nations. this leads to certain reactions. we're now being accused of infringing on french interests. and

molly burkina, faso and the central african republic. the e. you applies the same philosophy and mentality anywhere in the world use the same vicious logic applies to the african continent. lever of explained the situation as one part of a larger western neo colonial mission to tell african nations which countries they can and can't have good diplomatic relations with. he said it's not russia's problem, that africa is ditching the west. and looking to moscow in many spheres of cooperation . another recent example took place in molly, but it wasn't sure to assist lose a similar situation developed in molly a year ago when the countries leadership concluded that the decision to withdraw french troops and remove their military bases would create security threats in the region. that is why they asked for help from us, specifically, our private military companies. we are not to blame for the fact that the french military molly did not live up to their expectations. ultimately, the situation developing in africa seems to come down to 2 different understandings

of democracy. according to sergei lab, rav russia sees it as countries deciding for themselves who to do business with. while the west is stuck in a neo colonial attitude of bending other countries to its will, this comes as us treasury secretary janet's yellen visits africa to push america's agenda even spock and criticism from beijing by the her latest statement. and when she called the asian country, a barrier for the resignation of zombies, debt issues. even if the united states one day souls to step problem, it is not qualified to make groundless accusations against or pressure other countries out of selfish interests. because it cannot elevate the tremendous u. s. responsibility for the reason behind the world stepped issues, let alone the fact that the united states domestic dep problem is now worsening. the world's economic and financial stability. zambia is struggling to pay off around $17000000000.00 of external debt, while

a new study shows the greater part of it is due on western loans. the research also reveals that $1000000000.00 was provided by the international monetary fund to make free payments. janet jaelyn visited santa go, where she tried to portray russia as the reason behind africa's food insecurity. but a political analyst told is that it's the west that has created issues to africa by losing the continents resources and industry you with what you've been countries. in addition to us, it with the fact that the leading f m i and lord bank giving money to africa or giving money to, to buy that, that all in the frame of ballot that i'll release on ships to african countries, they put pressure, but they recuperate to what they div her in the long and within booth gone to sometime in some program because they know that it won't be

easy to pay it, but that's why they sit up in content. but you will give us this industry, this industry in this industry, them. yeah, produced a lot of gold. it would reduce also a lot of coke there. and so many other, some mineral and wells in under big round of zambia then u. s. is looking for or do things under the ground of zambia. well now the latest from don't boss where ukrainian shell and his left at least 3 civilians wounded on tuesday. meanwhile, on monday 9 people were injured as key of targeted civilian infrastructure and residential areas. in the city of yellow via a local depot was hit with us to live at high miles rockets ortiz from on cancer of

centers. this report from the c this is a grades are made by another artillery shelling by ukraine military of the city of ill advised. great, now we are at the railway depot in this city that has been under fire for the last 3 days. now, according to local officials, ukraine have fired at tortuga miss sile a couple of days ago which was intercepted by air defense systems. and last night this area was attacked by multiple launch rockets system, maybe united states called hi mars. the explosion was so strong that pieces of rails were completely blown out. now i can't even pick, pick this one up with my hands. so you can imagine how strong this explosion was. bell. these types of rails half the explosions there were flying

absolutely everywhere. and one of them cause death. damage to the person who's now had the hospital would been bocce. lou are 2 people were wounded, the locomotive driver and his assistant was they were towing a suburban train to this is the 3rd shelling in around the 1st came a to a image. then at 10 p. m. and again, at 4 am the next day they are depot is still working without interruption, despite all the damage. there were at least so for high mar sir rockets of fire against this railway station. this is just another crater of many around here. fragments of rockets like these can be found absolutely everywhere. like i said, as the result of this effect to people to real a workers are now in the hospital. the sick place had 4 o'clock in the morning. however, if that's actually place during daylight, there could have been many,

many more victims, judging by this wall and judging by these throughout no holes. ukraine, used rockets designed to cause maximums average and maximum civilian deaths room on cost for a hearty yellow voice. the nest republic as the war in ukraine, wages on a 1993 publication by george soros has resurfaced causing further down on the prevailing western narrative that nato and its allies have no stake and are not directly involved in the conflict. in the peace from his open society foundations, he discusses how crises it could be use by the us to further it. same by using east european soldiers, rather than american personnel as cannon fodder. the united states would not be called upon to act as the policeman of the world when it acts. it would act in conjunction with others. incidently, the combination of manpower from eastern europe with the technical capabilities of

nato would greatly enhanced the military potential of the partnership. because it would reduce the risk of body bags for nato countries, which is the main constraints on their willingness to act. this is a viable alternative to the looming world disorder. all the nato countries continue to insist they are not a party to the conflict, but this document from 1993, published by george soros is open. society institute gives a different impression. this document from 993 lays out how the united states and its allies might be interested in using countries across the eastern europe as proxy by russia. and they could incur the losses that might make the conflict on popular if nato countries themselves were directly involved. and it was their own soldiers who were doing the dying. now, to coo and 2014, in which the united states over through the ukraine government and installed a fanatically anti russian group to power in kiev,

seems to match what this document put forward. what we generally here in western media is that ukraine is simply under attack, turning for help from the democratic west. but jeffrey, back the columbia university. he recently came forward and said that's not the case . the united states as overthrown dozens of governments. it definitely contributed to the overthrow of yanna, ko bitch. and i know this from the inside, not just from the outside. so i just want to be clear. i will bid, i know from top people involved in these issues is what i'm discussing right now. now the soros document not only matches the situation with having you as well, but smiled into it and being supplied with weapons by the united states. it also matches that the government of poland is very warmongers and hostile to russia. and furthermore, if you look at the situation,

there are some estimates that the ukrainian casualty rate it, we may have seen over a 100000 dan. they are being carried out and people are dying to serve nato goal and yet has recently admitted. this is what been said. she knew cleaners, and the mines was today, we are carrying out nato's mission without the loss of their blood with but with the loss of ours. that's why they need to supply us with weapons. as a boy. and furthermore, we've had us officials admit that this is indeed the purpose of the conflict in ukraine. it's about serving nato's goals, the united states, age ukraine, and her people. so that we can fight russia over there. and we don't have to fight russia here. ultimately, i think this is a sound investment for us national security because not only are we defending a country from authoritarian aggression, not only are we taking one of our biggest geopolitical competitors down several

notches in the process and we're doing it without us boots on the ground in harm's way. now it appears that deanna coverage government in ukraine wasn't the only government that the united states had. its eyes on were stirring up some kind of regime change and perhaps using it against russia. any place the here looking at, in terms of a potential regime changed? it could be stabilizer, region her or the world? well, obviously a good one would be russia, but i don't think they're on the precipice there. i think things have to get worse economically and there have to be many more body bags and frankly, military losses before there's a change in the government. in, in moscow we have a very casual statement from western leader that they seek to utilize the lives of people across eastern europe. let them go out and die to serve their own political agenda. and it shows that it's all narrative where ukraine is simply

being targeted, the democratic country just begging for help. it doesn't fit at all. this is part of geo political maneuvers. well, let's discuss the issue with, i guess, steve gill, radio host on political commentator. many thanks for joining us on the program, steve. so we'd say it's interesting isn't to do the seems like this 30 year old publication, perfectly described, covered us foreign policy. what's your take on the publication, this relevance? first of all, i think in the previous segment, one of the commentators mentioned investment. and i think it's ironic that on this very day when apparently the lensky is making the pitch the u. s. business, particularly military industrial business, that this will be good for your pocket books. if we keep this going, you sell more weapons, you sell more weapon systems. it is clearly all about the money. there is no us interest in what's going on there. other than that, you've got that in the us who have an interest in making bigger profits now that the afghans then war came to a conclusion. i do think it's bizarre that this,

this idea that somehow use eastern european mothers don't care for the lives of their sons, that eastern european wives don't care about their spouses. yeah, we can feel body bags up with them and nobody will care. i think they would care, and i think we're seeing eastern europe maybe speak out a little bit more directly that they're not want to be the cabin, kevin father for whatever western european interest or american interest r at play in ukraine, about the profits that, that, that they may be seeking how do you find this foreign policy strategy? does the ends justify the means? well, i think the psalm, if they're just looking at their bank account, but, you know, we've been hearing for 11 months and this conflict started that ukraine is wending that they're on the precipice of victory. and yet they haven't. and now we're hearing that they're having to get tanks from eastern europe tanks from western europe tanks for america in order to continue this conflict if they're winning so

decisively, why haven't they want? because they aren't willing on the battlefield. and we're seeing all these pictures of, of mirror ball and others that are, that are bombed out shells of their former cells. but how much of that fun? i mean, how much of that shelley has taken place since the russian troops occupied those areas. and the ukrainian army has been showing ukraine was the most corrupt country in the world before this conflict started. and now we're seeing dozens of ukrainian officials removed for so called corruption at a time the ukrainian government, the u. s. government is fighting any effort at accountability or transparency about $100000000000.00 plus that the u. s. has sent to ukraine. so i think the corruption runs the, i think the profit tearing runs deep. and unfortunately, we're not getting fair media coverage of what's actually going on and you frame and the core of all this. do you agree that it's, it's about maintaining the current world order. and if it is how effective is this

method going to be? well, it's clearly a proxy war that's being fought against russia. they've demonized demonized russia to the point that it's kind of bizarre again that nobody was concerned about eastern ukraine, the citizens of eastern ukraine when the brigade and other ukrainian militia were killing raping brutalizing the people of that area. now supposedly we have compassion for the people of ukraine. i do think that there is a more insidious purpose behind this than just fighting for quote democracy in ukraine, particularly when you have president lindsey who has shut down free media, shut down, opposition. parties attacked. religious institutions in ukraine. doesn't sound like as a mock, proceed to me, particularly when you've had peace proposals. put forward of let the folks in, don bass and eastern ukraine boat, let them decide who they want to be a part of the ukrainians and western europe. and america opposes that comes out very democratic to me. and this, this coming, of course,

as jimmy agrees to send in the tongues with the shots, finally agreeing to a certain crucial leopard to all my vehicles into ukraine. well, the repercussions are, we going to see fully strategy in the long run. but i'm reminded of the old song send in the clowns. will these leopard tags be blaring the music, send them the clowns as they roll into, into ukraine. you know intentionally right now the browse is freezing and they're talking about russia making advances on frozen hard ground with their tanks, their personnel, carriers and supposedly tanks are going to be sent in for some sort of a spring offensive. you mean when the ground bars and is mushy and swampy? that's when we're going to launch a counter offensive. again, we've been told. busy for months, ukrainians are winning decisively that they're not suffering has used all the casualties on the russian side. none of this is true and it might be nice if we're a leader for making decisions based upon truth and accuracy from the battlefield rather than propaganda. that again may fit their financial interests. steve,

gail many thanks for joining us on the program this evening. really appreciate your time. thank you. that's the feel radio host on political commentator. they were wondering government the keys, neighboring democratic republic of congo, a violating excess space with a 5 to judge, which was fired on as a result. now according to reports, for the asi violated were one does space for the 3rd time in 3 months, as videos and focus on social media appeared to show us the coin at $25.00 jet being show thoughts of the playing fire with london. the on the boom, apple, everyone's in government statements said the defensive measures were taken in court on the d. c. to stop the provocations call, the legal authorities have not yet commented on the incident. egyptian economists saw in support of abandoning trade in dollars in favor of the rubel, the secretary general of egypt,

chambers of commerce thinks that the transition to the russian rouble will strengthen the country's economy. switching to the rubel would be positive for the egyptian pound and would reduce our reliance on the dollar. its current imports from russia includes essential goods such as weight. you could the recent plummet of the egyptian pound against the dollar. there was a shortage of foreign currency in egypt, which is led to fluctuations in food prices. egyptian economists believe the russian variable is more stable than the dollar and the addiction markets. dr. passion to factor economic analyst on research, say, switching to the rubel in trade will give egypt independence from the i. m. s. and it's policy decisions is the step from her russia. i think it will help so much egypt to overcome it's economic crisis because it will reduce the egyptian reliance on the dollar as a key currency a for the international trade. it's a change in and also it will give egypt

a wide range of freedom in order to say no to the international monetary fund conditions and policies according to the economic reform. it also gave egypt a wide range of freedom to a deal and the, the change with countries like russia and china and in a very good conditions and circumstances for trade. so i thought i think it shipped it depending on this a step in order to reduce their putting more and more pressure on the egyptian currency in front of the dollar in the occurrence days. so i think a china good julian, this measure of the was egypt and russia. i think this will give more and more. i fostering to this at that you and they can and take actions

a very soon a u. s. federal reserve bank has issued a report which shows the countries with the highest military spending. well, let's take a look. i 1st glance, it may seem that china spent more than $900000000000.00 in $22.00 aneice military and 2021, which would far exceed the usaa spending of about $750000000000.00. but upon closer inspection, washington's military expenditure is reflected on the right axis. whereas paging on the other nations are on the left. so this is a better representing sensation of how it should look like. and now we can clearly see that washington spent the most military and 2020 wanted a price track of the $770000000000.00 leaving phasing in 2nd place at $270000000000.00 worth of expanding. well,

this is another report suggest that the u. s is not prepared for a war with china. the u. s. defense industrial base is not adequately prepared for the international security environment that now exist. the major regional conflict, such as a war with china in the taiwan strait. the u. s. use of munitions would likely exceed the current stock piles of the u. s. department of defense. the center for strategic and international studies report suggests that in the event of a conflict between the 2 breaking out, washington would quickly run short of items like long range and precision guided munitions in less than a week. while also reminding the american defense industry should be prepared for the scenario scenario all the protracted conflict. now the same conflict, military corporations as lockheed martin boeing. the general atomics are among the major contributors to the thing tongue which publish the report undefended meetings between military corporations, us military, top bras,

and the c s i s. that's now cross at to executive director of well to be on the war movement. david swanson, many thanks for joining us on the program. great to see this evening. so david, why do you think the federal bank issued such a confusing charts precisely to confuse people? of course, if you draw an accurate chart of military spending by government, the united states, it has to be on a different chart from all the other governments in the world, or several inches or centimeters or whatever above all, the other nations that have to be grouped down in a little sliver along the bottom. and so what did they do? they, they put the numbers for all the other countries on the left. and the numbers for the united states on the right and put 2 charts together. although it made it look to anybody who didn't study it very carefully, like other countries were spending similar or more on their military than the united states, which is of course,

what people think. if you ask the general public in the united states, people have no clue what the reality is. so they'll look at that chart and not notice that, that there is anything dramatically wrong. and that is, of course, the point you can increase military spending. if you realize that you're already spending as much of the next 10 countries put together 8 of which you're pushing and hammering to spend more and selling weapons do. and with your nato allies, you're spending 3 quarters of the world spending on, on militarism. you can't, you can't have that reality in mind and have the panic necessary to spend more because china is spending more than you. so you generate misleading information. regarding the c s i s report located, martin and general atomics were among the major contributors to the think tank was the connection between the defense industry corporations and the c f. i s well nothing because there is no defense industry. it's an offense industry. it's

a war industry and corruption is the norm here. i mean, the reason why countries like russia are able to commit so much murder and destruction and made him spending 8 percent of what the united states spends on its military is an indication of us corruption and waste, which is mixed in there with the sadistic drive. to dominate and destroy the world. so corruption is the norm and when you're getting studies out of so called think tanks that are openly funded by the weapons industry and by foreign dictators ships, there are huge weapons customers. you don't need to take those seriously. go and examine the facts for yourself, and of course, the whole worry. the whole question being asked is madness. the u. s. doesn't need to be ready for a war with china. it needs to get out of a war in europe and some wars in africa in the middle east. it's quite interesting

how there is a focus on china in these reports. there was in the federal banks chart, it seems that china has been born. it's military than the u. s. fall in the c s. i s report. it was speculating on a war in the taiwan strait. what role does the image of china play and all of this and why? well, it's huge, it's becoming the number one. it's long been competing with russia as the top 2 excuses for us military spending. the u. s. need to dominate the globe for its own good, whether the global likes it or not. and china is standing in a way, and china is an economic competitor, which means it's a military enemy. this is, this is what everybody in washington tells and suggests and implies. and this is, you know, this is increasingly going to be focused on china because there's already a war with russia, which as you were discussing moments ago, the claim on the western side is that russia is being defeated. it's going to

happen any, any century. now russia will be defeated, as of course, on the russian side. the claim is the exact opposite as the us to determine it, maintaining its global military dominance. more reasons i think than we have time to go into some of them ideological and, and the racist. and you need to bring on some psychiatrists, but some of them again, corruption profit. it is a big business. the wars are famously made to suit the weapons rather than the weapons manufactured for the wars anymore. and until you know, you're not just think tanks, it's political campaigns, it's universities. it's everything in the united states bonded by the weapons dealers so that it's normalized and accepted. you're not supposed to think of it as shameful or even as profitable, but it is huge.
