a movement that originated in the latter years of the called one, russia and western countries have come there, diplomatic changes, list an activist from canada, demetrius good to see a thank you rather than a month. can i ask for a rough estimate of how many from across the span of generations and political experience course. now i know that you are a successful and rather counter intuitive that a person reputation, both professional and personal on the line in order to carmen. my well, although yes, it's true that has little to do with my origin as a human being who came from greece in the aftermath of the 2nd world war. by the time i had tried to solve for 25 years, i was a card about how i could compensate or give that as a living. it's more passion. and when this war erupted and i be kennedy's ever confronted, not just because of the war, but because of the context and what i'm saying,

anything to try to diffuse the tension. gold but also to crimea for asking about your impressions. i, i won't ask as a lawyer, diesel, i shouldn't. as a lawyer there's, have you checked? yes. be a violation of canadian law. none the worse with the law. so there's, there's some possibility and i position in order to intimidate me and make an example of me. that's a believe i exclude because i am realistic about of the political system. i mean, candidates, home tear, very large ukrainian, jasper, die hard, apologists of fine pets. safe to do something like that at a time. the ukranian authorities are, you know, western authorities who support them. my community who are committed to peace and who are that is a whole and particularly at the elite level of that community, i'm talking particular leaders is not not been to my knowledge, any acts of violence against people who have and not from ukrainians,

but from the mainstream media and the politic publisher, the newspapers called the national post, published a front page rhymes of its government. and fortunately because of my website and invited people to decide for themselves whether or not that's what i had to do your thing where they said about, i've actually had occasion to do that because because of credit in 2017 a, by a very, very strident pro, paid some compensation, but i also know is it for compensation, a defamation action? and i don't, i understand we're very, very hesitant about using the course of law to protect my rep if crimea, when did you expect to find there? and what did you very much of the south of greece, where i now have a home in color america as a vessel. so, so the beauty of it was a surprise to me, the overt signs of the war there are and but, but at the same time, we are very conscious of the war when i would just have us to pull, there was actually an attack to the crimea to the border of his son and visitors,

lar, state of alert security and the refugee, you know, i felt as i say, that the proximity of war more, but i never got it is to actually live in close proximity to the from line up. so, okay. and i mean nora, especially in keith and those areas where there's worries ill includes at re taking crimea. i understand you are not the military, but he did terms or in terms of hearts and minds because i'm sure you've spoken to people. yes. a single individual there who expressed a desire tia and declared their determination to offer themselves up in reserve. but i learned as i approach the border with catch saw that there are 2 very narrow pull into peninsulas, and we traveled through one of them. they were wide open, there was no tree cover at all the peninsula through. he's too narrow corridors of land would be disaster area officials have begun to acknowledge openly that this is a pipe dream and a ukrainian government to attempt to retake from here. why do you think they are cranium, government as well? i think i spoke to a gentleman that his name was that he is a journalist. now

a military corresponded. i met him in sebastian. so i imagine you know, that this is a matter of strategic premier geopolitically. i think there's also a tremendous amount of take that that would be a resounding victory for the state of ukraine. but again, insecurity of their own people. because even if they retook crimea, that would probably are. and this is the, the position of western countries that are and that, that whoever controls crimea, controls the black sea because it was tough on back in 2014. and that the stand the genesis of this whole conflict the way when does it start for accessible and very covert from it for a long time to create instability on 900 fifties. frankly, when the united states government was covertly, i think the really pivotal of the pivotal event was the overthrow of gentle been and he was certainly not a perfect leader. well, he didn't have a governing scale, so i couldn't agree more. i couldn't agree more of increment and she, everybody refers to him as

a sure which is what his supporters wanted when he was overthrown effectively when cascaded into one tragedy after another, culminating in the early 1950, when the american authorities are just giving a refuge eagerly he'll the something like that would be happening because having child to do things so easy for the west, then conflict, but we are not much worse than you who i wouldn't say you were said admittedly, i'm to jo, expert in russia. but does it say that i could, you know, bring thousands of canadians overture with me in order to distinguish between people to people, relations, and government to government. i'd yourself, i think the will of the people. so for example, at this stage, they've had enough only 32 percent airport publicly, the transfer of weapons to ukraine. so who washington and washington's agenda is one of global hegemony? you know, there, they will not tolerate a global rival. and russia are in government not to submit to the will of the

americans, the right to leave on our land as we please. dmitri, because stay tuned. ah, ah, ah ok. defense secretary ben wallace recently said i'm optimistic between mission of strength. he also said, there is no magic one moment when russia, ah, ah dmitri, just before the break here, you mentioned that only $32.00 per selectively, low level of passive support. but you know, to shape with an narrative. and i want to close

a year ago when this conflict wasn't its opening stage. is that a one question? what do you think would be the cost of where should the have been there? russia army, she will have to, you know, has to, which is a nuclear war. i don't think the go, you know, just by what is the policy of every nuclear powers. if existentially threaten, they will kill those weapons, are being here is not only to kill soldiers, but that and in some russian city. so indirectly, the west is so few months ago that these weapons are ultimately going to end up in the hands of criminal organizations. who crane was prohibited? weapons in france. so excellent article by james galbraith, an economist, united states recently which showed the important political, insur, liddy. from the economic impacts of this, there's a range i want to mention to other prominent america published an article in foreign policy calling for the united states to chain pain. now if the americans withdraw and they have attract nomic, whatever reasons, what do you think the canadian authorities are going to do?

first of all, the appetite, if the american stopped supporting this, the canadian government understands perfectly well that the only way this war can be sustained is vital before to withdraw. well, i guess that's right now, the exchanges between our countries are almost frozen, especially back in the seventy's in the eighty's, when athletes vice versa. and i remember the back to the time the west supported the because as a russian, i can go to canada right now. i cannot get a visa, welcoming thinks that that they do for it was the so called enemy. you realize what in fact is going on represent what's going on there because they don't and probably never will fits it's. it's actually quite astonishing and they get away with it. frank told the truth about this conflict. so i think they're trying to sever relationship in and i say, you know, when, when the hits, because i cannot object strongly enough to the idea of depriving perspective. so to ours, this is the media, you know, our on our t as set up as

a propaganda tool because we've been an in a news and opinions and we tried to reach us back. i'll try many things that were started. defies any critical thinking. yes, it and, and amounts really to was a prevented from taking a flight to a, to believe that the 100 percent, the narrative of the west about the, the legality, finality. it's a, it's an effort to demonize all things russian frequently to the soviet union. back in the seventy's and eighty's or something that people can bring to their well then one day if you have any goals or ambition, so have you been to iran? have you been to syria? i know official enemy of the west that would take me to china and i ran within the next year. i've already been to venezuela covered the attack. this is a part of a broader project, which i am personally able getting from people who follow you on social media or an invite. there are people who are extraordinarily supportive. people who've come out

of been different times for, for the west from, let's say, 10 years ago with the things that struck me about russia. and i said that's made a big impression on me. the 1st 2 days i was here, i spoke with a russian living in moscow now is how high school teacher and he, he actually did a ph. d at oxford in spanish literature, of all things came back to moscow. and he recounted to me what the russian people went through with the collapse of the saloon in the nineties and how terrible that was. and how things it is that the stability that has in the cohesion level of social cohesion that has developed in the 20 years since. and he said, you know, for russians that matter is a great deal more than profits. a great deal more than you know, the latest gizmos from your apple. i store as may be difficult for you to comprehend, but we just have a different value set. and based on what i've seen it, i think that's, that's true. and we as the western, this is why say, i think personal interaction so important. if people could actually meet russians

living in russia who don't necessarily agree with the western narrative about their country. they would understand that their values are not quite the same as our values while demetria have to live in there, but it's been a fascinating conversation. thanks so much for that and the good luck on the attorneys. thank you so much of her picture and thank you for watching hope to see her again on a well to part. ah, with me. ah. ah. hi, i'm rick sanchez and i'm here to plead with you whatever you do. do not watch my

your shell seriously by watch something that's so different. i listen to opinion that you won't get anywhere else. look of it please. if you have the state department, the cia weapons makers, multi $1000000000.00 corporations, to your fax for you, go ahead. i changed and whatever you do, don't watch my show stay mainstream because i'm probably going to make you uncomfortable. my show is called direct impact, but again, you probably don't want to watch it because it might just change. and the wayne thing ah ah

ah ah, yeah, oh, yeah, it really depends, of course is conduct asteroids against god. comes in response to an earlier rocket attack in southern israel, a violent clash interrupting the west bank over the death to the palestinian bad on a hunger strike is rarely custody. he speaks to his wife. it was 86th day. there were harsh teeth and very painful death and pain every single day. it was on the paper to see him in court, but the news a b was the hardest. it's very hard to believe that

a lot with an explosive device course.
