tv Interview RT February 3, 2023 4:30am-5:01am EST
4:30 am
focus on doing their job. when judas, they want their work to be fast and efficient, which would minimize the losses. and our support, both emotional and political is very important. if we can explain what is really happening as we witness this geopolitical game, the world will soon realize that this needs to be stopped. yes. and it can only be stopped. and when we see that the west led by the united states stops with this stubborn resolve to never end it or to end it only when they can be sure that nothing threatens their hegemony. any more for you said you're. so at this stage, we are just doing what our western colleagues are doing. they said that this conflict must be one on the battlefield. it is their formula, i'm sure they are the ones who refused to negotiate. they made the key of regime walk away from the talks and they did it back in march at the moment when a political settlement was still a possibility. but key of wasn't allowed to continue. and since then,
4:31 am
nobody has even tried to convince the key of regime to go back to the negotiating table. and nobody protested when zalinski signs an order prohibiting any talks with the russian federation of nobody corrected him when he cheerfully shared on a number of occasions that he has no idea who makes decisions in russia and who he would talk to when the time comes. apparently this is a freudian slip, he doesn't feel like he's an independent player. he knows that he is often manipulated. so this is just his projection beula. obviously we all want this to stop, but the timeline is not as important here as the essence. we need to make sure that we achieve lasting results for our people, for the people who want to remain part of russian culture. despite the fact that the key of hunter was the western encouragement tried to strip them. of everything rush ugly, little i just read about the laws that were passed under porridge,
4:32 am
shinkel, and zalinski, russian education, russian media, ukrainian media in russian. everything was banned. not to mention the arrests of m . p. 's, who expressed the slightest inclination to find common ground with the russian federation measures. then they decided to allow, finds against those who didn't speak ukrainian in their everyday life, in stores and hospitals with their state language protection. commissioner, i don't remember his name vote a proposal to ban all communication and russian even between individuals. so spouses could be drinking tea in the kitchen, and some snitch could turn them in, and criminal prosecution would follow some future. this regime has in the godaddy mobic uncanny, got visual pistole, in the bucket. we talk about the antibodies when the stand, what it should be, but it doesn't seem to be anywhere near, because the things have only been escalating and that seems no answer this escalation at all. they're already supply heavy weapons and talking about supply
4:33 am
missiles, what are we to expect? moves those, miss williams, so be human. clearly, we are guided by the solid facts, 1st and foremost by the facts captured in the russian law and enshrined in russia's constitution. a total of 4 new territories, either to people's republics and 2 regions, have voted to join the russian federation. and i think there can be no question about that. the fact that the western powers can't get over it and just keep getting stuck deeper and deeper in the situation they've created. shirley bears a huge influence on the progress of russia's special operation. scarce since given that our purpose is to push the artillery force of ukraine as far from our borders as it takes for it not to be a threat to our territories, supplying kia with increasingly longer range weapons will only force us to need to
4:34 am
push them back even further away from all those territories that are part of our country. lucille, and you're absolutely right. this escalation has gotten out of hand. it started with shipping helmets, ukrainian soldiers, then they ship some guns, and now they're already discussing, sending aircraft. the chancellor sholtes swears it won't ever happen, but mister shows has been known to be able to change his position fairly quickly. and he's not the only player involved. well, mister schultz was making his statement that nato will never go to war with russia . germany's own foreign minister and elena burbock said, oh, but we are already at war against russia and we're all in it together. we'll just just go to a former deputy pentagon press secretary sabrina, sing actually said it, so k for ki, have to start bombing crimea. either way, they want to sound tough or they don't understand what they're saying. but anyway, what's interesting, speaking about chancellor schultz,
4:35 am
he said once that the present day crisis was caused by russia's invasion of ukraine . and even he doesn't listen to those who were before him. because chancellor merkel did say that back in 2015 when the misc accords were signed, no one was planning on honoring them, and refusing to acknowledge the true reasons behind this crisis only means one as a politician refuses to see the truth to the sons, but even 2015 is not one at all. started. let's not forget the 2014 kuda taught in ukraine. that took place despite all the guarantees given and signed by germany, france and poland as part of the settlement deal that included early elections. the very next morning. these guarantees were thrown out of the window and power was seized by a clearly neo nazi regimes that included this for buddha party. led by all leg chuckner bulk. if you recall that name, he hasn't been on the radar for
4:36 am
a while. but back in the day, he was branded as a neo nazi by many european nations, bro. lose slogan that he announced in public was we must kill russians, jews, and poles. that is the kind of people that placed their bets on together with the neo nazis from the as off and i dar battalions and the likes of them. right now, they're busy cleaning up all the information that these units were ever considered extremists or terrorists. for example, recently, japan apologized and removed the as of italian from the list of extremist organizations. but it's probably best to apply the marxist theory to this case as well and look for deeper motives behind the current events. and i would advise going back, at least to the presidential term of barack obama and re reading his statements about american exceptionalism. one could also look up statements of the same kind
4:37 am
made by president trump, about america being an exceptional nation. there is no such other in the world, and we have a huge responsibility. joe biden pushed the same narrative many times as well, followed and expanded upon by his administration. officials, including secretary of state blinkin, who said that the americans must exercise their leadership, use their unique ability to lead. because without us he claimed the world's would be in chaos shows. very modest of them took me and back in 2019 jake sullivan, who had just been appointed national security advisor. pend an article where he speculated about american exceptionalism and said what i believe was a horrible thing. he said, no vision of american exceptionalism can succeed. if the united states does not defeat the emerging vision, that emphasizes ethnic and cultural identity and restore
4:38 am
a more hopeful and inclusive definition, freedom for all citizens to follow the paths they chose. all this mean this, every one else is denied the right to remember their own history. just like they were a melting pot for all those who came to america. in the old days. now, they'd like to melt every one to make them essentially, americans with almost. but look at the results of this melting in the us. look at how fractured american society is and how the authorities are trying to suppress the schism using to borrow their term authoritarian methods. that's where the reasons are to be found. this exceptionalism and unshakable belief in their supremacy and being above reproach is, in my opinion, the main reason why we're now confronting countries which, using the key of regime as a proxy, are waging a hybrid war against us, which is actually no longer a purely hybrid wanted you more just recently,
4:39 am
there was a heated debate about the parallels that the ukrainian leadership drew in their statements. this is something i've mentioned before as well. just like an 1812 or 1941. those who wanted to subjugate the whole world, starting from europe, rallied a significant number of european countries to begin a war with russia. i don't see much of a difference. moreover, during the great patriotic war, war, world war 2, nazi ideology was used against us. why are people refusing to see the nazi ideology that's underlying the key of regime now, all the statements coming from its sympathizers and puppet masters cannot in my view, be seen as anything but an attempt to find the final solution to the russian question . russia must suffer a strategic defeat so that it can't rise any time soon. who sula, wander lion,
4:40 am
a well known functionary of the european commission to has said that the war must lead to russia's defeat. the kind of defeat that for decades, for many decades will prevent us from restoring our economy. what is this? is this not racism or naziism issue? not an attempt at solving the russian issue, but true, the aren't talking about gas chambers yet not yet. while there are still many decent people in germany who won't allow a rebirth of fascism, but there are those who wouldn't mind it at all. therefore, we're at the center of a geo political battle. make no mistake about that. las those who are achieving practical results on the front lines are doing a tremendously important job. they are heroes and their feats a re, competition for the benefit of the future of mankind as they are preventing. the
4:41 am
wes from reaching a complete, had gemini, which should declares as a goal in his doctrines during the fun of yes, oh not that it would allow. an e u summit is coming soon. we are not you members of course, but we are neighbors to gentle sharing the same continent. and the agenda that meeting is not irrelevant for us. which topics would you suggest for the agenda as an eva, which we lou lou lenimosa. to be honest, i haven't been following you summons recently. i think those discussions are just an unnecessary reflection on their part of. it has already been made clear who is going to make all the decisions. and now they've signed the declaration on e. u. nato cooperation, which says that the e u will provide anything, nato neese, such as the territory of non nato countries. if nato needs to transport weapons of any kind, closer to russia's borders,
4:42 am
all of that has been said. and show said recently that there security depends entirely on the us. well, if the you thinks that what it should be doing is making appeals to washington to spare the european industry and economy. and to make some benevolent gestures with regard to the laws, the subsidies that the united states gives to you as companies on its territory, which makes european competitors and viable a deuce. the french economy minister said quite some time ago that electricity prices for businesses in europe are 4 times higher than in the u. s. that alone is something. and president macro said recently that they would ask the us to make adjustments to provide some discounts exceptions. so i suppose, asking is what they'll be doing for you to proceed. and sure he has already gone that you asked to no avail yet. that's why i don't take much interest in what the e. u was debating. i hear they're also planning to invite zalinski. i don't know
4:43 am
whether he supposed to be there via video link or in person, but we will hear about it. they've decided long ago to make zalinski, the main democrat, the symbol of the struggle of democracies against that talk. chris's computer, which is exactly the kind of simplistic black and white narrative that the u. s. promotes the 2nd summit for democracy to be convened. at the end of march, we'll formulate a simple mission. the beauty of human music. all democrats must fight against all autocrats. autocrats include us as well as china, iran, north korea, syria of venezuela. in other words, countries that refuse to bow down to the west's demands. and the list of democrats will be drawn up by the americans. if you look at the list of those invited to the 1st summit, you'll see that it's quite an interesting list including countries which and i don't want to offend anyone here, which the united states itself has never called democratic. and yet they were there
4:44 am
probably. now, according to our information, the revolutionary team that is convening the summit of so called democracy's wants to draft some kind of a decision to take the philosophy of confrontation between democracies and a talk receives further to we more material practical dimension. as far as we know, the idea at least at the moment, is that these democracies will formulate their demands on autocracies and formulate rights for themselves. to help people oppressed by autocratic governments, bypassing those governments. a year or 2 ago, i wouldn't have believed it. but now they're discussing it, in all seriousness of them, they're trying to obtain the same rights as when they peddled the idea of setting up a tribunal against russia and making it pay reparations and idea they've been pushing
4:45 am
and various you and bodies without regard for the rules of procedure. it's all a gross violation of international law, but it's not the 1st time for them. they threw away all the principals they had cherished and imposed on every one else as part of the globalization process for decades in viability of properties. presumption of innocence, fair competition, market mechanisms, all of that was jettisoned when they needed to punish the russian federation. it did not work, which is another matter beardley kitchen, but the very fact that they resorted to these illegal methods made everyone more cautious. it's no coincidence that there is now talk about switching to national currencies. who knows which side of the bed the u. s. president will get out of to morrow and who will fall out of his favor? the presidents of brazil and argentina have already discussed the possibility of creating
4:46 am
a common currency between their countries. and then they went even further and suggested that a common currency should be considered for all the countries of latin america and the caribbean. total summer blue de sylvan suggested that a similar idea should be discussed and bricks. it's not even a regional approach, it's a global approach to the question of what to do in terms of currency and finance. when the u. s. is violating all the rules of decency, whether it's dollar. so the process is underway. saudi arabia is selling oil to china for you one. we are increasing the share of national currencies and trade with our key partners to 50 percent. and the process continues to miss elaborate for what you are saying. all adversaries are either try to completely shut out russia or inflict a strategic defeat on us. but basically, the very existence of russia is not an option for the west going forward. russia
4:47 am
has to be either broken up or divided somehow by that we've even heard the term re, figueroa zation come up. that's polish politicians talking predictably, is there any room left for diplomacy at this point live with nurse those? i don't think we'll be out of work any time soon. there's a lot of work to do and on several fronts. first, we need to stay very active in the international arena, promoting our position, our line of reasoning, elucidating the truth. in fact, there's an entire section on our website dedicated to that. every day we respond in real time to all the latest stunts by those who attempt to skew and distort reality . and of course, it's a priority for us to continue diplomatic work with partners across the globe. we actively exchanged delegations, both at the level of minister and deputy minister. we travel abroad to the countries where we have plans to build up construct if cooperation,
4:48 am
up and host their delegations to this type of work is critical for one thing. because the united states and satellites, including you nations whom the americans have stripped of their last shreds of independence. they are all big on democracy as you know, only they view it as their right to impose their own interpretation of democracy on the rest of us. the moment you bring up the idea of applying democratic principles to international issues, they quickly lose all interest and act in a totalitarian way. yes, curiously in the un charter, the word democracy is not mentioned once, but perhaps that's for the best. because the core principle contained in the charter is already the most democratic idea imaginable. namely, it says in the charter that the united nations is based on the principle of sovereign equality of all its members. so that is that if any one could kindly
4:49 am
point out to me how this sovereign equality of states principle is in any way upheld by the actions of our western counterparts. then i'd be willing to nominate that person for the nobel peace prize. if you're a democrat, this is how it works. you express your point of view, then your opponent expresses his. you've got to respect other people's rights as adults to decide who they stand with and which position they prefer best. does the same principle should have been applied to the ongoing crisis and ukraine? president putin has explained the objectives, the underlying reasons for you and the imminent nature of our special military operation, all in great detail. in fact, it's not something he came up with one day out of the blue. no, he's been explaining his reasoning for 8 long years or even before that, starting with a munich speech in 2007. for years and years he has been pointing out to the west
4:50 am
that they were steering in the wrong direction, undermining everything that they themselves had pledged to uphold. including such things as indivisible and equal security in europe, or the idea that no country should pursue to build up its own security at the expense of other nations security. there is one more key consideration which no organization in europe can claim dominance in the military political sphere. no organisation, whatsoever. yet nato has been doing exactly that. these principles were put on paper back in 1999 and reformed again in 2010. but all attempts to get the west to comply with these documents, signed by multiple presidents and prime ministers, and it in nothing wellness. or rather, the ended in us getting the message that these were merely political declarations. and that only nato could offer any legal security guarantees which again,
4:51 am
violated all the principles i just mentioned. nevertheless, we kept on explaining. finally, we turned to them and said, listen guys, we've been talking to you for years. we know you've heard us. now we make our stand . the west took it badly and condemned our actions, but the developing countries for the most part, said they would remain neutral. why not respect their neutral stance. but every day, the west ascending its signals to all asian african and latin american countries do not let in russian delegations, denounce and condemn join the sanctions effort. the vast majority of countries have some idea of self respect. even the smallest nations with populations of a 1000000 or 2 in africa, for example, they say sorry, but we have our own plans. we want to develop our partnership with russian. we host
4:52 am
their delegations and vice versa. and because of this, they are facing punishment from the west blunder. so this is what americans are notorious for when they want something of yours. war want you to fall in line. they don't offer you something in return. instead they say, do this or else. this is the pinnacle of pragmatism, i think, and the highest point of cynicism. shims also that's the reason why russian diplomats will not run out of work any time soon. she would look at machinist, ghetto resorts, the 1st engine i michener. let's speak about china. rush us relations with the people's republic of china seemed to be developing at a fairly rapid pace together where a building and you world older human. what are the points of convergence here and what are the risks? because it's a dangerous thing to try and dance with a giant,
4:53 am
your feet might get crushed in that sense, all the any risks when it comes to our partnership with china. nuclear sprinkler super custodial cushion scrolling through scholarship points of convergence is a very modest description of our relations. according to our official declarations, we are not in a military allies. however, our relations are higher in quality than military alliances in the classical sense of the word. they have no limits, no boundaries, and there are no to boot topics. they are at an all time high over the past century . good. our shared interest is primarily to secure our right to grow in line with our national plans and existing international trade rules. in particular, the w t o rules and move forward in line with the framework that the west set up. i mean, the bretton woods institutions, the i m f and the world bank. nor would he skim mcgee her loose is still what of
4:54 am
all the risks. these are widespread perception, the china is so big and we are so small and the dynamic could lay to sift and we would face something larger than what we are ready to handle. how justified are these fears and short message of mosquitoes of the news than we will shoot? you see everything is relative. russia has also been accused of being big and bullying every one around us. one alleged concern is that former soviet republics are not treated with due respect. there will be a lot of such allegations. of course, there are plenty of that was one to instill in us a fear of china. i think it is a plan aiming to prevent us from cooperation and coordination in the economy and international affairs. we have no doubt that the road map signed between russia and china serve the interests of both russia and china. these plans do not define
4:55 am
russia's role as in any way subordinate. it is a win win relationship because it is not just about energy supplies to china. these plans also focus on space, nuclear power, and many other high tech areas. i just wanted to remind you of that. the west declares russia and china as autocracies and its main threats. russia is now perceived as the immediate threat that needs to be countered in an urgent way. they know they would have to fight china over the long term. their goal is likely to prevent china from assisting us militarily and will. they are now accusing north korea, iran or other countries of such aid. mind you, our defense sector is fully operational and it will be just fine. internationally, of course the u. s. is brazenly promoting those solutions that only suit it and it's satellites, but are not acceptable either to russia or china. we will continue to oppose this
4:56 am
noise buffy a new approach. and now the final question, do you argue the case for peace mess oliver of yes. a new uniform. your windows castle. i am in favor of peace. absolutely. you know, someone said, if you want peace, prepare for war. i do not share this philosophy. i share the idea that i would put this way. if you want peace, be prepared to defend yourself at all times. i think we will emerge from the current geopolitical situation. a stronger nation that can defend itself even more effectively under any circumstances. ah, ah. who is the aggressor today?
4:57 am
i'm authorizing additional strong sanctions. today russia is the country with the most sanctions imposed against it. a number that's constantly growing up in job, which of the problem was to constrain as you speak on the bill in your senior? mostly mind the we're, we're sure we're banding all imports of russian oil and gas new g i g, a with the little we're pretty good regarding joe biden, imposing these sanctions on russia has destroyed the american economy. so there's your boomerang, ah ah
4:59 am
5:00 am
ah don. yes, republic authorities say russian troops have nearly encircled that you pre and health count of oval adar as in 10th battles in the area. continue for keena, faso and molly joined forces to counter the ongoing threat of terrorism. i made frustration at french forces failure to tackle militant insurgencies in the region in it's a situation that really settings us. it's awful that armed men can cowardly attack unarmed civilians. more than 200 people were killed by israeli forces in the occupied west bank and gaza in 2022. according to the latest report by the palestinian health ministry with.
