of the platform just under 2 years ago. and while you might think that performing delicate work, which is huddling around the o to the high speed is no easy feat the pair of getting used to it. it's the 3rd space walk on this current mission that are not going to keep moving a manual valve. number 2, not great pictures, right then what, thanks for joining us for an international. that story does continue on line right now. it's alex, he's on the

the hello and welcome to cross side were all things are considered. i'm theater, lavelle for months we've been told care of is preparing a counter offensive to retain last territory. and that ukraine will eventually become a member of nato. but recently were told the curb any expectations ukraine assault will achieve anything. then what is the point of the counter offensive? the prospect being counter offensive. i'm joined by my guess on that. a lot of the,

i don't know if in washington state, he's a writer as well as a military and political analyst in lisbon. we have alexander guerrero. he is an international legal analyst. are gentlemen cross out the rules and effects. that means he can jump any time one, and i always appreciate andre, let me go to you 1st in washington. i mean, we've been hearing this about how for months and months, the whether we need more trucks, we need more tags. we don't have lower expectations. and then to top it all off. well, we're well actually thinking more about the next defensive. not this one. i mean, what is going on or is this just a psych up go ahead on right. as well as any serious military thoughts in operational planning, the gold delays are required for us to do again. you are in washing down the way as a radio, ronnie, and i'm going to bundle washington to see look, beautiful, work space and where they run the disk on pain. basically it's been

a long and the love of the book planning. everything is pointed towards and to hold on for one of these be off basically your brain and the whatever is left of the armed forces supposed to bring the cost of just all that he trial bullet. this in doing that is page, specifically of the democratic national committee against those people who are of the party want to create a lab for whatever else we are, what they want to be aware and staying for. and so that they have to have some find all their foreign policy success because the better, almost the story to where we are, it grows the war a got the rates and all the new, the offensive to show that you see, you know, ways the closer well this is donald down a doing a deputy political generosity, best of luck on the spam board, modern combined onshore for ease those people lost all their wars. the street on development and united states in the last 2030 years. was it been bought normal?

it was insane. and when i looked at this business a lot, the house, it's b r b, you have strong cargo. look for a while, mattresses in the strategic the price on the words for, you know, while the sold their armed forces will be brandon failed themselves. and there's the fact that's it. okay, i know i want to get to russia is offensive a little bit later here. let me go to alexandria in lisbon. i mean, this is the way i read it. and i've, i, i've, i've been watching on the is a videos is pod cast and, you know, i think it's a lot of p r. i think it's also fundraising. there's a never enough never and that we need more money. we need more days. we need more of that, okay. and user issues, everybody turns a blind eye, which i think your up is going to truly regret that one day. but alexander, i mean, the, the way it's phrased here is that to retain last territory maintenance very vague here and, and that, and then what do you agree we gain some last territory and then what, okay,

and this isn't, this is a, a politics without any kind of goal. okay and, and that's what makes me really say in the beginning talking to andre, this is like a psych off operation. i mean, it doesn't seem very, we'll do what, what is really was a lot of people are dying and that's very, very tragic for all concerned. go ahead, alexander. indeed, but the main problem regarding this so called count the real fast, the source is the scope of the expression account, the requested be. so in order to the 13, uh how to what extent you to be protected or not like here. so we don't know. yes, is this the pass, you will be for student races, you know what be no way that they don't cover the entire front line. some blocks are only a few barks, and actually what we are looking presently is that the recent to do credit into movements environments, as well as different questions conducted by the risk and forces in so the whole j

areas. actually they reveal that to be a no real fast you may have already begun effect. if we look of the more recent news we see that it seems to yesterday, ukrainian is were trying and still trying to bring a defensive lines into southern valuable part tools. indenting to head to west, you've got the legs and also evaluated. steve was forcing and taking some pressing you brittany is used to, but we have to wait. if you bring in forces, you'll be able to pull the positions here. and actually i think these again, as they will try to take advantage of this is success or not in order to last. the other comes from the point, especially frequency. this direction was previously pointed out, but you're getting pretty bulging as likely for the basic bi, ringing through. yes, at the same time. today we heard that there was the gene don't, was about to provide

a long range me science for your brain. and they might be able to cover the entirety of the 3rd 3 multimedia. so not the main question i believe that we must make is, are they going to better stop the counselor and they're in the entirety of the front line. or they can go see this itself, the presence of texting the most as an adult, the fantasies. and they don't want to commit themselves. we announcements all very impatient goals that are unlikely to say, yeah, what's on that? i think that, you know, one of the things that the media has done in framing this conflict, the never should have happened in the 1st place is about territory. it's not really about territory. it's about destroying the military capacity of ukraine slash nato, because it is, is a nato war against russia. and so i think that, you know, all this hype about taking this town or this regional, i think it's, it's a purple, it's, i think it's a waste of time, because the, if we go back to the original goals,

a demilitarization indeed knox vacation with the knox. vacation issue is getting rid of the resiliency regime and that will happen when there's a complaint military collapse. andre, well, we'll mail that ready, march. there's federal legal for last year. and again, as if you will get back somebody will they do away. they don't have very large floor to mount any meaningful, all kinds of going to get the spam. there is a very profound difference between the app. then the fans or the something we show versus this is a good objective in there. if any longer scale the thing bother factors, memory need to let someone know that you know and how we approach our objectives and, and gauge that any me courses. they don't have required scores, maximum dig in hopes for all practical successes, which won't be along the 1st line of defense dr. office to realize that brands by

russian ministry will defense by russian armed forces. so and i will really see that basically they don't sell floors, they don't have the gas wash ever get anything which big schools from any kind of there on, on the street, you know, within the range is being shut down and these are almost, you know, they know how to day all the normal, how the lab, the more am i looking for you already here. they are all have their over here. good friends. they don't care for all 400 south all the armoire, which will for some kind of watch, watch collection of the cartridge is there, you know, made the pieces. and when you look at this are you are the only thing they have, which is where the one operational direction. so and the one operation and direction is b and b are the same as because i thought it was you with the axis. so dispute, yeah, they might throw a lot of bodies, you know, a lot of dental warner, and i'm sure it's already this case. there's nothing on there in the great picture

. what you're going to be on stage, the fives of the meter. yeah, they might get into a yeah. oh yeah, al examiner that took to this point right here. you, you mentioned these long range missiles here. 11 of the interesting things and said, all these missile systems that they do or are bought to do, you know, the high tech and all of that there's, there's the, i, i've talked to military people and they, they're not as good as they claim. and they are always designed to fight in the middle east against, you know, you know, go hurt or is okay, not against a, a peer power militarily. and i think again, and this is a lot of posturing on the side of the west, easy. they do, you know, a, a, be a blank check approach here. i mean, there take saying this because they have no other alternative. they've actually back themselves into a corner. alexander, yes, indeed, the excellent goes to entering to this present situation and also the import. the

dentist scouts are offensive. if duties there won't be any real fast seats with a strong impact on the at least on you bring inside. this may have for the future of cable, sort of these as well. you have also a huge impact to the west as a whole. so it is highly respectable dentist, the western boise representatives. actually they are the law and feeling any kind of plans, maybe because they don't have any concrete plans. they have expectations that have been feeling. they have been feeling awful, a lot of money and a lot of weapons to this kind of a account that will be delayed just last summer if you remember. so actually what we know is that western leaders, they know exactly, they have to bring in forces. they are not as well prepare and they wanted them to be in the eighty's, highly unlikely that we think we've been provided is not enough to be successful in any sort of crazy, but against racism. empowering the equipment. also,

because this time, the russians are not willing to draw and to leave the directory that each other from the control like it on the cross or you like the indian to fast. so she is bravely and then to the west, the spacing in the process. they have to choose, we must increase, we have to try all kinds of different, really better solutions, even if we were, we could try this. so these long range missiles, however, if he's been successful, perfect, we will try to exploit the solution. however, it doesn't because he doesn't bring any kind of success. well then we need to start looking at the solutions or find a way to leave you premiums alone on this topic because we don't have any more capacity to keep feeding these kind of effort. wow. like a plan or the outside or at some point at some point, i think we're pretty close to it. manpower and ukraine is being exhausted. i mean,

what trucks are they going to have? ok, i mean, this isn't, you know, you can, you know, the us can print all the money and wants, okay. and europe can give all, it's jump to the old hardware. it wants for free and getting rid of it, but you can replace man, that's the issue. the gentleman i'm going to jump in here. we're going to go to a short break and ask you about your break. we'll continue our discussion on counter offensive state without the the acceptance and i'm here to plan with you whatever you do. you do not watch my new show. search like why watch something that's so different whitelisted opinions that he won't get anywhere else. welcome to please or do you have the state department, the c, i a weapons, bankers, multi 1000000000 dollar corporations. choose your fax for you. go ahead. change and

whatever you do. don't want my show stay main street because i'm probably going to make you uncomfortable. my show is called direction, but again, you probably don't want to watch it because it might just change the way you the welcome back across stock, where all things are considered on peter level to remind you we're discussing counter offensive. the ok, now we're joined by gilbert caro in st. petersburg. he's an independent political analyst and author of memoirs that makes pat manager in moscow during the 1990s. what. what part of the program gilbert? i'm glad you made it if it's already the 2nd half. but if you're always welcome on this program, gillard are the 1st part of the program. we're talking about the real or unreal counter offensive. but everybody's talking about, been talking about for months and kind of your expectations or enthusiasm,

if i couldn't use that term on this program. so what about what russia is going to do? because the over here in saint petersburg, i'm here in moscow, and let's be honest, you know, this frustration, you know, this thing keeps going on. and we know the deficiencies of the ukrainian military. we, we know, possibly possibly with these pentagon lakes. i don't put a whole lot of stock into them, but we can throw that into the mix. what about rushes, offensive go gilbert? and i think the issue isn't very closely that it's hard to see about the calendar offensive or come to counter offenses without looking for the credit is and without taking into consideration the items you were discussing just for the a new broker for him. the, the point is what happens today the analysis at the delivery of these coast missiles by region 2 main force that is

a gauge and the mr center is planning to say, excuse me, destructive role as processing of course, johnson johnson to be shots in march 2022 and sooner is in the, in the counter medicine stage as you cream, any way to see for this started because i'm focused on rush new conditions and gauge changing conditions. but i mean, i think the rest of us will have to reconsider why don't they already were put into place measures in place and actually washington they may be interested in that. and uh, if there's a down lower soft reality example there. okay, uh, alexander, if you saw it, i hope you did. is it spelled and bird have a interview with the washington post? a few days ago was one of the stupidest things i've ever read in my life. i mean,

never being asked a hard question. anyways, he said, you know, a nato's involvement and you've created since 2014. i thought they weren't, they knew crate. i thought they were to call belligerent. i mean, this was this asinine. i mean, this man is just the mental cripple. but in he made it very clear, and i think he's a, obviously he is a cut out for washington to some degree london. but you know, what you pay will become a member of nato. well, then that means this conflict will end on the battlefield. okay? because that is something that, from the very, very beginning, rush has made some good, clear will not happen here. so this, the, it's really interesting how, you know, we, you have a, i made with a general secretary, which is willing to do pro ukraine under the bus. because it, with that kind of mentality, there will be no credit ukraine left. go ahead, alexander a well, actually system, but it was just confirming all the, not only the ideas, but also the perception was such

a good word. he was performing. you're absolutely right. he was a performer. i'm sorry. is it a rough go ahead? it was under the only him, but also if you remember a little medical as early as installed on all of them actually me to the time to, to do region. the agreements are to meet the agreements was just to be done. so this wasn't the decision taken on that moment. it was previously bland that they wanted to achieve these kind of goals and to be present the new grant. they wanted origin change the new grade in order to bring. finally, you're probably not going to be in union for one where they knew that they were not any longer be able, that they're, what would it be and to be able to any longer to get away from the union. but they also wanted to do, going to be going to dependence on the nato. so actually this using no surprise sheet, they all have to be performing for all smuggling, since 2014. but it started basically previously,

if we take to at the register all the, the, the hearings, all jeffrey, the former us ambassador to what do you, great, we, we can see that it even features on 13, she already has mentioned all this. so it's not a surprise only for our people here in the west that are still trying to support the idea that actually this conflicts only start to be during february 2022. well, let me tell you, it has and it has started way before that time. and also waiting for the oh my god . so, so this is a huge problem because they have to find a way in order to bring it to some kind of bellows. howard, you're so that's the reason why i see that's actually he admitted. so think that we all already knew, well, you're fine. you know what else into gilbert, you know, what else? he admitted he didn't say it directly, but it is obviously his words speak for themselves. is that, you know, with the unique how's involvement in ukraine since 2014. so i guess, i'm sorry,

i guess it wasn't an unprovoked attack because using his own words, he did not know of eyes the claim of an unprovoked attack. gilbert. yes, i agree with your slides a really just a bit of extra marks in cautiousness in actually contradictory goal. while i'm sending out now for for several years that they handle and that is ok. however, i have concerns is administered on what the results and this is the cost of the action of london. i don't see how russia can move the lower back to 250 kilometers in a short period of time. when discussions over the last several months have shown that it contains a mazda 6 years before the start of force level,

and you bring those back premiums to the. so the british tax has come to us and is the things that, as i say it was the russian homeland, particularly on the crime, i think sense of the criminal center before i agree. i agree on that. i speak the speak to that. okay. i mean, it's one thing there, how do be having a conflict in ukraine and self made? i mean, is it major cities in crime me or attack that that, that to use gilbert's words forces hand, what do you think on that on i will or didn't disclose any kind of those cigarettes here see of us the whole is on that. that's possible me. it's called the, it's out victoria, really the slow flight. okay. by the way these,

you have this sharp as you waiting these just to really stop the last week. i believe there are a lot of the apple device boats are all involved with try you on land chauffeur's vehicles. so she wants to find the living with the shop the, your practical college of felicia here. will they get a little bit more complex progress? yes, big will. absolutely. but this is august, the grind here use being at basketball, something. okay. yeah, alex and everybody can go to you before we're going to wrap up here the last 30 seconds here and neither side is going to give up. that's the problem, is that at 30 seconds my friend go ahead. it's highly likely to have any kind of degree when, when we have the, such as the 1st and to such a here and there is separating both parties. no, no, none of them are willing and available to see and to do queens offer any kind of point. and because there isn't one single point where the parties can get closer,

i believe that's the only solution is to one of the parties to answer the we the huge, the feet on the grow, or there you go. all right, gentlemen, fascinating discussion. tragic guns. fortunately, but that's where we are. i want to thank my guests in washington state, lisbon, and in st. petersburg. and of course, i want to thank our viewers for watching us here at our team. see you next time. remember, cross cycles, the 1898 of the united states won the war again, spain and gain control of the philippines. the people of the philippines held that

the americans would help over throw spanish rule and grand independence through the country. but the united states was by no means willing to give freedom to the philippines and side as just another colony. the 1999, the filipinos began armed resistance to the new occupier. of american troops were barely able to occupy the territory of the philippine republic. but that patriot started a desperate darell of war. washington was forced to sit in new reinforcements and triple the number of its troops on the islands. the u. s. army suffered heavy losses. the americans took 8 out of the population, general jacob smith, in revenge for the gorilla attack on the garrison in the city of bile on ega. porter to kill everyone over 10 years old. the monstrous gulf of terror, according to the most conservative estimates lead to the death of about $200000.00

philip the notes, the americans managed to suppress the gorilla as only 14 years after the beginning of the war. but the united states was not able to stop the net to know liberation, struggle of the filipino peoples in 1946. after the decades of the dramatic ordeal, the philippines was finally able to achieve independence. the, the miss charlotte, the girl and the soldier monument was erected in 1947 in the estonian capital by the soviets. authorities originally built above the burial site of troops, remains. it's the memorials of the soldiers who gave their lives in world war 2 will say it's good, but i need to go to the department service. can william for the familiar transition in 2007, the associated government decided to relocate the monument from the city center for

the year on the gods by me to a to where in the sooner frustrating to move divided the population is stony. is lodge of russian speaking community strongly opposed it. an intense rising broke out in town, and these have since become the as the bronze knight drives me to bring people across the username and you cover the, the headlines on, on the international as the us ambassador to south africa and makes us southern utah and then as accusations, the country was supplying alms to russia,

admitting that he profit online with his play, the non developed form of western colleagues, has told on you crazy respect, religious freedoms across town. the orthodox church does continue and ukraine, the russian and positive to the us. the mom is the security council tase of suspension to what he called a breach of human rights and the authority on a stride to the gaza strip. kidding, a come under of the palestinian militant islam and she had organization that is a made an escalation of deadly attacks from both sides. the.
