thumb in china and russia as well as in the other country, we will continue to benefit from these sanctions in the long run. because what we are seeing is the western countries and the are the countries, especially the country in the global south. they still need to tray, and despite that, china and russia were apparently selectively excluded from this trading process. are the countries countries in the global south, they are also being tapped into and getting activity even more actively involved in this all trading processes. so all the sanctions are actually give thing more momentum for these alternative payment system, not just on china, russia, but also all the horrible self country to think about and to launch the payment system in an alternative financial system so that they could benefit from the coupling process yes. so it's very interesting that sanctions may have have knock

on effects that perhaps the people doing the sanctions might not realize that they are having at pac no, we're right at a time. always appreciate you coming on the program. the pac none one live from boston, the u. k. political scientist. thank you very much sir. okay, tension between china and india. there, nothing new but a with a renewed new delhi on the international political scene. what will such strained relations mean going forward on picking that from rick sanchez on direct impact ah a 3 year hi, i'm rick sanchez. i've been doing who's now for some 30 years and 2 different languages

all over the world. and certainly here in the united states, i've interviewed for us president side, founded a $1000000000.00 business. and through all that, i believe news should be honest and direct and impactful. in fact, the show is direct impact. ah, i want to start this conversation between you and i with what may be the most counter intuitive news that i can share with you. because it's a bit of a head shake or really seen while everybody is focusing on the south china sea. the taiwan strait and the conflict in ukraine between nato and russia, and the ongoing chaos in the middle east. there's this long standing tension with

real clashes that are taking place. i mean real classes that are taking place between 2 world powers. this is a battle that could be potentially anyway, potentially catastrophic. why? why? because, well, because both india and china have nuclear weapons capabilities and they share a boarder that is both disputed and fought over. and there have been many clashes between chinese and indian troops. recently in 2020 to 20212020 or her with. and as you could see, as you watch these videos, the battles seem my word here, meandered polish, the chinese and the indians are seen actually clubbing each other,

beating each other, pushing each other, trying to drown each other in some of the videos that i've seen. this is all the way up in the himalayas, where the land belongs to india, but appears to be a part of china. and in some cases you could reverse what i just sat and make it vice versa, right? so while most people in the west barely even know that these clashes are in suing, they most certainly are. and it displays an apparent sense of almost a hatred between these combatants. and i should say this too, because i think this is important. let's not forget, india and china are the most populous countries on earth. so as part of the asian continent, they are part of a group of countries that make up 60 percent 60 percent of the world's population. and for decades now,

india and china had been locked in this bitter battle, this bitter dispute along a 2000 mile corridor of actual control. indian defense officials say that the chinese military forces have been increasingly laying claim to these territories that don't belong to them. and now china is coming out and saying that they are ready to protect that not only what they consider to be their territorial integrity, but also that it will battle to protect the territorial integrity of india's biggest rival. pakistan. by the way, this is important. they're also clashing along that disputed border leading to the area around pakistan, which then leads one to wonder where, where is this all gonna lead when you have in india involved pakistan involved in china, involved and all 3 of them have nuclear warheads. the latest skirmish occurred in

the indian state of r and charl products, which is near a $17000.00 foot mountain peak where india and china both maintain military posts. china says it was just conducting routine patrols while india says, no, you weren't. they say they were encroaching into their territory. meanwhile, some indian politicians are now saying, look enough is enough. this is indian politicians, right. example, indian members of parliament, one case in particular, raoul gandhi, he's blasting his own government, the moti government for not taking the chinese threat seriously. he accuses china of preparing for war and he says, the indian government needs to wake up his own government. fact here, these are the words that he uses. i'm going to read it to you. he says, i have been saying this now for the past 2 to 3 years. it is very clear. he says

that china is preparing for war. the government he says, is trying to hide and ignore the obvious threat he's referring to his government, right? his parliament and the prime minister. so who's right here and what is the us take, right? what is the west's take on all of this? could india b, the key to the u. s. his seeming need to go after china? k j? no, thank you so much for joining us. this is an interesting discussion. keisha, europe. you're a political analyst, you understand this region i'm. i'm not sure why the world is not paying enough attention to this, but every time i hear about these ubs skirmishes, these battles, really, between them, indian troops and chinese troops. i begin to wonder baby, why we're not paying more attention to it. first of all,

what happens during these battles? what's going on? well, i think they, it varies on the specific issue. but if you recall, last year there were some skirmishes in may. and then they built up a little bit into a really kind of a man malay type of fighting. that's the one then. right. the, the main big one was the one of the rock. right? yes, exactly. and then in september, it, you know, shots were actually fired. so, you know, there's a being different levels of escalating and d escalating tension. nothing that is being so serious as to involve, you know, major armaments, but people have been injured. people have been killed, we don't know the exact numbers, but yes, this is serious stuff. and at the same time, i think the lack of attention to it in the current moment has to do with her and big you a status of india visa v or the west and visa via the united states. one.

what are your, what do you mean? what do you mean by ambiguous? well, india traditionally has been an ally of russia and before that, the u. s. sr. pakistan traditionally has been an ally of china. and dave, the 4 of them have created this up, you know, a set of players that have sometimes related, sometimes not related to each other. and it's created a varying set of relationships. but remember, india was supposed to get on board for the united states. indo pacific strategy yet that's why it's called the indo pacific strategy before we used to call it the asia pacific. then it became the indo pacific strategy because you had the quad. this was india, australia, japan, and the united states. and india was supposed to blockade china along the left quadrant or along the western front as a cit, supp plan of encirclement around china. now,

when russia and ukraine became, when this became a hot conflict, india because of its alliance with russia, refused to go along with american entreaties to get in line with its agenda. yet therefore, since then the quad formation has weakened and india of occurrences in india have been downplayed in the media, especially this kind of friction. why? because india essentially is playing more of an independent role in many of these of battle royals, if you will, between nato and russia, and turkey and russia in the united states and china and russia. and i mean, this whole thing goes back and forth between some of these countries, by the way, that this one area iraq know, all that we talk about it, it's, i think we're going to be able to put it on a map and you're going to see that it almost looks like

a peninsula that come out of china with a very small next he down there on the south side is a very little neck that's actually part of india. and then it opens up and it becomes almost like a, like an island or peninsula in india. i'm pardon me, in china. the geographical formation of it makes it look like it's really part of china. is that, or is that part of the problem here for india in china, reserve that and who doesn't really belong to? well, you know, i think it's, i think these borders are disputed and they go back to british colonialism. but the british used in various differing borders at different times. they had 11 different borders that they would use. ah, for convenience, if i'm let me just stop you there for a minute because i want our audience to know what you really mean by that because i think you're being very polite. i think what you're really trying to say is, oh, almost a 100 years ago. some white dude from a great britain. i forgot his name,

was he had a name, it's actually been named atlanta, my hon. right, the right, who was the head of a hon? yeah, so this guy sits down probably with a bottle of gin and a crayon or a pencil and a piece of paper and a map. and he starts drawing lines separating though to countries part of china and part of india without any cultural knowledge or understanding of either probably, and the consequences for what he did on that day sitting there with that bottle of june. foot are the ones that were seeing play out. no. did i overstate that? no, i don't think you're wrong. i think it's i think that in essence is what happened just as what happened. for example, in south korea and north korea. what happened along the burmese, florida, et cetera, it's song, a white guy, ah, you know, with a man and a ruler,

deciding where the board is go, what do you make of this comment by this member of parliament in india? his name is raul gandhi, and mr. gandy says, in his opinion, and he said this for the whole world here. and i think he saying 2 things. a that china is preparing to invade india. and in his mind it's about to happen any day. and, and to he seems to think that mowdy and perhaps other indian leaders are asleep and they're not paying as much attention to it as they should be paying. and i'm not quite sure what he means by that. but what do you, what do you make of those comments by mr. whole gundy? my seat there over the top, i think they're very extreme. china did have a border war with india in 1962, but then it withdrew back to the original line of ah, you know,

line of conflict. so there have been conflicts the last time there was actual shooting war was in 1962, but i don't think china has an expansionist or imperialist designs in that area. remember, china's 14 borders 14 land borders, and most of the time it has negotiated those orders peacefully to the satisfaction of both parties, usually with china, giving up quite a bit of territory. how concerned should the world b, when you take into consideration that we are talking about not just 2, but 3 countries in that area, all of which have nuclear warheads? i think it's, it's very, very concerning. and the piece that concerns me the most is that the united states would like nothing better than for there to be some kind of

a border war that bleeds out china. we already see that there's considerable disturbance in pakistan. emma, where the chinese are building their belt and road the see peck corridor going down to quadra or it has been besieged with attacks in baluchistan. and so i think there is potential for further disturbance for further kinetic conflict. and i think the same thing applies all along the border. you're certainly not saying the united states would want to see some kind of nuclear engagement between these countries. are you i'm not saying that, but i'm saying that um, if you look at where china has the belt and road and where china has borders that are conflict true, you will see larger or smaller degrees of conflict that may or may not be supported by the united states and i think that is a very,

very dangerous situation. essentially, what we're looking at is a conflict between the u. s. desire for continued una polarity versus the chinese movement towards plural polarity or multi polarity. the u. s. wants to resist this and i, it's not beyond, ah, you know, initiating kinetic war to achieve at sam's. we're going to be right back with k j. now by the way, i have a podcast. good. you know, where i as a journalist as a latino, as an entrepreneur, tell my stories of where i've failed and where i've learned and we talk about success when we talk about growth. it's called the rick sanchez podcast. and i invite you to check it out and i'll see you there. so when we come back, we're going to take a look at the chinese indian conflict from a u. s. perspective. is this something the us will capitalize on and, and how

ah, one place her one type of place. so i'm thinking pariah. the u. s. is number one, enemy, proper place. we ship weapons to tie were, et cetera. we send battleships through the straits of taiwan. we conduct mode keeps expanding, then there's the created strategy now to be able to expand its reach goal. so what's the key? what's the key turn on the world who study this geopolitical battle would say the if the u. s. could get india to really job us proposals, it could change the gore the of attention then what it's actually getting. we're back now with k j no, to continue this. so part of the congress that the united states would prob,

order that involves countries like pakistan and india enters are very powerful. they have nuclear warheads. we wouldn't want to see that happen, usage out of it. you mentioned belton road, which obviously as an economic pledge is played into that full bore with the help of the us, me, i'm thinking this sounds to me like a money making venture other reason for them to want to go along with it. well this, if you are an honest manufacturer or if your sink tank, rick or announced manufacturer. so definitely there's the us spec worrying funding into the military industrial complex. but us is looking for unipolar. hey, jam been working, it's plan and planning. it's work since that period doctrine, which became the trump doctrine, which is now unity. and there are a lot of invest at players that want to solidify standpoint anything that bleeds out the 2 centric enemies than namely russia or china. they see as being vietnam

war and coming out of the korean war. and it seems up to this had to be done because you know, my goodness, stop them. they'll eventually be in your backyard. and we to sions like cbs news and the new york times and b j and by president nixon and ah, eventually come to a certain extent. we did the same thing after the hot as were coming, and soon they would be in our back yard, ripping our daughters and cetera, sameness to the story isn't there? yes is exactly, she's so this time brown, china is the great and a near to diligent m eyes and to attack it and then have a ship has said you create, quote unquote, a binding strategy of other countries. a conflict over taiwan under the and then once having done that, then you're going to rally other countries against all of ukraine. a japan will be the kind of bitten units i got the south green freshness already you were talking

about earlier. and i think this kind of puts, this started this conversation. we've got chinese troops fighting on the border. we're looking along and saying which side am i going to take? most likely, i'm going to go along with china because i splaining the rest of the anthem. i'm the rest of the story and putting all put this chest pieces together. the missing. we're going to talk a gemini, if we're going to consider the end, the mind that you're making, the india doesn't go along with this. the u. s. is in a bad place? no. i think it's very important. india's in very, very important pod century terminology of the indo pacific before here. it was all way back because they want india to be the left flank of the conflict with china. so therefore, that situation badly. royals, as we said earlier, conflicts they, they grain, they're disappointed with india for buying rushes oil when they is not coming out. ah, perhaps so more fervent that dod, taiwan straits,

correct. yes. and your pass between the soviet union and the united states. and remember, russia has close relations with china. now they are thanks for sharing your wisdom with us. we very much appreciate it. for mission. it's simple really. we kinda want to loose, right? where we never look outside of those boxes to see what, how much sanchez can i'm going to be looking for you again, right here. ah. when nazi occupied, poland, virginia was a farming region insurgent army led by stepan. bandera. nasa could 1000 her if they can. brutal villages were burned and property looted. why are ukrainian politicians still reluctant to talk about these events enough to divide people? problem is the fact that nobody knows. ah,

you had to lead this county side of 50 rich. we school to count trees being glide with. oh, for the army and part of military forces agree to a 3 day.
