of simple to restaurants, that's is, if the neighbors do not understand the depth of their neighbor security system, then why should not expect all the results from the neighbor? because neighbors should be treated too. it's great to understand in georgia had shared security with russia. the same thing happened with ukraine made his approach to russia's boards, as everyone knows all over the world that this was absolutely unacceptable for russia to move forward to then further, everyone understood how this would and interest and the world with russia was naturally more the body of the west there for the prime minister, spoke briefly. but to the point there must be no cease fire in ukraine. that's what a you, chico, sort of on demand is advocating a o during and all during i should say that any truce would be damaging for kia together with ukraine. we want a just peace, a ceasefire resulting in

a frozen conflict will not bring lasting peace. after all, a ceasefire wasn't place after 2014. and we know what happened to that arrangement last february when russia invited to create. so i'm elected european commission president ursula vander line is pretending that the ministry agreement cease fire deal in the dawn, passed between russia and ukraine, and with france. and germany as guarantors did not stick because russia didn't a whole, it's end of it. the cleaners a bumper head and get amnesia and forget the whole series of events that the western press that she was involved with. does she write this stuff that she says or solve for even bother to read it before hands who at least you know, make sure that didn't jive is with her actual reality. because back in january of 2022, about a month before the conflicts in ukraine went red hot european and american leaders, including founder lines, successfully pressured ukraine and zalinski to take legislation off the table. that

would have explicitly violated the misc piece agreement. the west was loading up ukraine with weapons on the russian border. and training guys with nazi child seems to find for you frame. so it's cleaner. so uh, seriously saying that any potential features cease fire and ukraine can't possibly do better than the one that was so poor, they respected that a seat down into the public domain. and the western price was reporting that zillow is. he was pretty much getting his behind spent by western leaders from or former french president, post slow around said back in march. that the minutes agreements bought you frame time to build up its military capacity against russia. so, using a cease fire as a pretexts to build up weapons, not exactly what one does with piece in mind. so it's borderline series, as we say is that is the gold standard that can possibly be beat in terms of any potential future piece dealers,

the spire and that's exactly along the same lines as what other european leaders are saying. for example, polish prize. and they do that today, they say that by the way to put in was the war. and she's the food is that finland joined nato. ladies and gentlemen, flat them or put them, has not lost a single war, but i hope you will lose this one. no rush is crushing ukraine. we know that only victory over russia will give us a save world. so as you frame it, really going to be calling the shots for all of europe and the west. now for us president donald trump pot flack during his term in the white house for holding a congressionally approved weapons for ukraine military aid. trump was asked recently whether he wanted a ukrainian wind over russia and here's what he said. do you, are you trying to win this for? i don't think in terms of winning and losing, i think in terms of getting it settled. so we stop killing all these people and breaking down. can you say if you want ukraine or russia to win this war?

i want everybody to stop die then dying russians and you say i want him to stop guy. yeah, that's a tag, not a business man like approach. you know, doesn't really matter who wins or loses. it should be a win win in the everybody lives. well, that's kind of a far cry from what we're hearing from the west and european and us leaders who are framing this as an absolute must win for ukraine. and the cost of even more lives, but it's a quote, a good investment for them. as former secretary of state hillary clinton and senator lindsey graham have both said. now if that's a sentiment that's rattling around in western court or is a power, then it really does explain a lot of what's going on and what we're seeing. poland has landed us health and hot water of of plans that could see opposition fit goes blocked from holding any roles in public office among those who have condemned the proposed legislation over officials in america and the u. or do you have a special on so,

knowledge about this edition is bought a was the creation by low of a special company to you, able to deprive since cities citizens individualized for their wise to be elected to the us government is concerned by the polish governments passage of new legislation that could be misused to interfere with poland is free and fair elections. we share the concerns expressed by many observers that this law could be used to block the candidacy of opposition politicians without due process. the new doors are set to create a commission to investigate, alleged russian into favor of since 2007 critics seem to move, there was an attack on the opposition as political opponents wouldn't have the powers needed to challenge the decision in court. it also threatens to bring into scrutiny the main off addition later, donald pers, who's both the former prime minister and the full. but you, you council president and senior research fellow with the global policy institute of georgia, somebody where they believes that the western criticism could make the publish

government well backed down. oh, and is very sensitive to the very negative views. i mean, these are basically the ones that want to keep in with the western mazda is so it might cause the reasoning it's happened before. 5 poland has made all day shifts, moves um, such as for instance, um the denial of a foreign ownership of media. this of course, upsets immediately the americans because that meant the americans were going to be pushed out to hold as media market and pulling them very quickly back down. so it's possible that they going to, uh, back down in the face of this uh, we do a breakfast ability, but the, you know, they also know then donald, to us is the mind they, they want those to in the selection, even though they've done everything that they can to be even more and the russian

then the, who's the line who anyone in washington, africa is designed to find a new equal place in the modern world and profit from his own natural resources as one, the backing of moscow. russia is totally different. mike made the comments while then most on page like us like of his latest africa to it. sounds like a new college of africa does not want to return to colonial times. it wants to make the most of the natural resources it possesses and not just to trade raw materials that have been exported from here for centuries, but to make products to will have added value and being demand. and of course, today's africa is immeasurably more aware of its identity and is increasingly insistently demanding for itself an equal place in the emerging multi polar world order, including 2 proper and fair representation in the un security council, which russia supports folks that again levels visit to malls, and they can be assessed on size that followed after i think provides very good

snapshots of the changes happening within the international system. because many african countries, as we have been reporting for all of this visit, have taken the position of neutrality. when it comes to the conflict in ukraine, they refused to succumb to the west. some pressure to impose sanctions against russia or terminate financial energy. other sorts of deals with the russian federation as to the level such today of the press conference. this is demonstration that africa is not what it used to be. you know, africa wants to be treated with dignity. it wants to be treated with respect. it doesn't want to be a rubber stamp in the united nations. it wants to take a self interest, a constructive and substantive role in international affairs. and mozambique is a good example of that because it's a country that has had a productive relationship with mosca ever since its independence in 1975 has

a pretty vibrant at industrial cooperation with the soviet union. and one thing i want to mention is that most on pick itself is no stranger to armed conflict. it faced a very bloody civil war. back in the 1990s, it is still suffering from militant insurgency in the north of the country, but the position of mos on because that all can conflicts need to be settled through direct dialogue. so we stress the need for the entire international community to seek local solutions to local problems. our prison emphasized the role for russia in the mediation of numerous conflict, including the cleaning conflict. in particular, the chinese initiative, emphasizing the need for direct dialogue between countries. she also welcome the efforts of the russian federation to organize the 2nd russian africa forum, unexpressed readiness, if necessary, to contribute to the establishment of peace and good neighborliness between russia and ukraine. now, uh, there was also a very interesting question about the rumors surfaced by the american ambassador to

south africa about the suppose it trade a weapons trade between south africa and russia. commercial for ministers sub if american ambassadors have any issues of doubts about that. they should mind their own business, use the media guns if something was stopped by the american or any other overseas ambassador. and then in general, you need to know your place and not get into other people's affairs. as for the topic of arm supplies, i would like to emphasize once again that we never violate international norms, but our western colleagues do violate them. they declare neutrality with regard to the events and ukraine, but pump the country with a huge amount of modern, long range and generally unsafe weapons, including for those who use them, i mean the shelves with depleted uranium. they give support to a regime whose official representatives loudly threatened to kill all russians, all of them. therefore, it is probably better for american passengers to take care of their own image in

the eyes of the foreign public viewable key accused the west uh, directly of exploiting africa and many other parts of the world. them. he said that the many countries do not want to go on with that as before. and meanwhile, kenya's president is seeking to establish upon african payment system to help ditch the us dollar from global complex. we are all struggling to make payments for goods and services from one country to another because of differences in currencies. and in the middle of all these, we are all subjected to a dollar environment. we do not have to look for dollars. our business men will concentrate on moving goods and services and leave the arduous task of currencies to affect some bank. i can use the president as i was just african count deposits, to mobilize sensual and commercial banks to join the new frame was launched last january. so cold time,

african payments and settlements system eases intra african trade and was backed by the african union. and the african central bank. the professor from the university of south africa believes the continent needs to pitch the dollar with the help of the bricks block. if indeed it wants to become a world economic leader. if you were to start on, hey, i just wanted to do a loop was explaining to you that says one warrant. the 2nd one was a service as a usa because the shuttle or i argued no, no. after the 1st one second little closer to now we might see some fair, 12000000 tiny war. but even beyond the deductible, any point on me more might be due because i do all the same time time. but as we cannot be done, i will be pushing for the body to tear bright about this. i'll get the chance we are really into changing my to get ready to take, you know, as far as one do tool. i have the menu for the table for future generations. awhile

alters 5, no long job, up to date, making sure that we have the best one actually paid for them before the if you just sort of, if you're trying to target raising my life children, i want to just don't understand. i do think they should have done, sees itself as of what i'm not getting any missions in the way. it's very important for us as long as we can. and to date, i'll leave that information as part of moving towards that direction. i'm kind of teaching in one place, of course there will be challenges, but i've not see any of them. you know, like, i mean, those charges a colonial era scrambles are results and in south africa are, is being remembered today this wednesday and walk into a 100 and 21st. i've a 3 of the end of the 2nd bill, one of the biggest and costly as conflicts, the british fort before the 1st world war. at the end of the 20th century, up written to attempted to satisfy its appetite to the south african minerals in gold. timing some 70000 lives in the process. the manager pa was

a bit on balance. half a 1000000 brits facing off against 88000 bow, a troops due to an unknown and difficult terrain for the british. the bull republic gained the upper hand at 1st. their british forces that eventually prevail, we can have a closer look at this, not without ease, cadillac, almost on of the narrative offers, consider the leaves or rather between these 2 warring fire insides on the african. so has been carried through over many years and the plates and the district thoughts. so the involvement of subjects, not only i'm reading your thoughts in this will, but i did some of the west pain and say facts, blacks are employed in the concentration camps. the main woods as minutes you supply and age 14 and well the transporting food and weapons as well as animal feeds. the women on the other hand, as well as the children are not stayed as they were to the concentration camps as assistance to the good woman. as role was to feed the front line commandos. now, the bridge is played suits in using the black label as 5 and the movement of the fluids as well as helping that which is navigate to the south african landscape.

now many of these black men and women died not as a result of the void south back from multiple diseases, from the overcrowding in those concentration camps, as well as plus invitation, entering t 19 a purchase and p defended the actions of his full fathers during a dialogue about winston churchill legacy. now, jacob reese mold was just defined. concentration came steering an appearance on pvc question. time. while these concentration camps held black and we'll women and children against, they will often abruptly meeting them from the funds with over 27000 of them dying at those can. only $6000.00 men died as a result of the voice of that would, which is empty and says that the formation of the camps will. so the safety, south african concentration camps had exactly the same mortality, right? as existing laws go at the time. so that not a good thing, but where else where people going to live when the use of concentration got?

no, i didn't. i'm talking about the bull bull. had people put it in comp spoiled, protection bridgework been to the use of concentration, but i'm afraid to confusing concentration comes with it, says extermination. come outside of this. i like that any calls into the all these are people who were in ton for the safety. the numbers of those that perished during the war remained conclusive for the end, the british. but alarmingly, the black masses, who account for launch a percentage of the dates remain, i know, which is campaign i maybe hope house has come out with the latest evidencing how look mono was a unit of the british army, had been since or other had rather sent admits is to move or other, he seems to be able to meet the situation in south africa at the time. he also rides, switches that meets the atrocities posts to the boys and the natives of the land. ease and keep scores of children that were dying and how the conditions in black came so atrocious, with little to no food as well as milk. basic health care. the theory that all the

weekly children being dead, the rate would fall off is not so far borne out by the facts. the strong ones must be dying now and they will all be dead by the spring of 19 o. 3. i thought we had begun to turn the corner and that after having reached unparalleled heights of mortality in october, we should now show a heavy decline. unfortunately, the figures have risen again. alarmingly. this, the control was a complex and lighted concepts that have far reaching consequences for southern africa and the clue. it remains an important event in the history of imperialism and colonialism and serves as a reminder of the human cost of will and concepts. that's a from so me for our to, to finish that i was discussing this story with south africa national assemblyman by force, a guy who believes this country was at the end of the day, forced into a war that was not, it's on the

all right, that's just about it for now. here now i see it's a national from all of us here in the newsroom. thank you very much for sharing the time with us. a lot of us here in the russian capital all 2 years on gab, odyssey and telegram, and lots of ways for you to catch up with your news. but nothings the

same wrong. just don't you have to safe house to come to the after care and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves will to parts we choose to look so common ground the

the the hello and welcome to cross software. all things are considered on peter lavelle. the kremlin has made it clear deliveries of at 16 jets because of would be an unacceptable escalation. we've heard this farmer frederick before, think fast to the weeks before the start, the brushes special military operations. the russians weren't bluffing then, and they're not blessing. now, the prospect in ukraine and escalation, i'm joined by my guess then colic in pittsburgh. he is a professor of law and the author of the plot, the scape goat russia in tampa. we have larry johnson, he is

a managing partner for burg associates and a former c i. a analyst and u. s. state department countering terrorism. official annabel rate because to john pas which he is a political consultant or a gentleman, cross type roles in effect, that means he can jump anytime you want. and i always appreciate, mary, let me go to you 1st and tampa. i love what else? words unacceptable. escalation this, it rang a bell with me because we heard this the months before the complex that started in february 21 and. and, and i take it very seriously. i have told the guests that listen to me in the west . the russians don't bluff your thoughts, larry. oh no, i agree with you. russia, russia, that's not the united states in that regard of the, i guess the good news is that the have 6 teams abilities are, you know, capabilities are grossly exaggerated. uh, yeah. so that it will market escalation, but russia has all the tools and equipment from the standpoint of our defense

systems, to shoot them down. so they will be the, it will just be one more example of the united states, a banjo as a whole of wasting military resources. and the only thing to accomplish, see, this just irritated russia. dan, basically the same question. this is in the backdrop, then the last 24 hours that were drone and there was a drone multiple drone attacks on the moscow region. very little damage. i don't think anyone was killed or are even really seriously injured. but it does, could set a precedent here we, we, we had with the, the, the, there was an attack on some kind of command, the control center around tab. so this is an escalation that's going up the escalation ladder. we're all traveling up. unfortunately, there's a certain point where you don't want to get on the escalation ladder and you know what, what i mean, go ahead, dan in pittsburgh. you know, this is a quite frightening situation and i should say that a one point, joe biden himself,

it said that sending these types of weapons to ukraine would be crossing the red line that he didn't want to cross. but apparently were willing to, we keep moving that red line further and further. and yes, we are, you know, possibly headed towards a greater complet ration. it should be noted, of course, there's nato troops now in the code silvo or beating up on protesters in lab. rob is saying that, you know, serbia, kosovo could be another increasing hot spot in europe. i mean, this really has all the markings of a greater we're on the floor and i think we all need to be very, very cognizant of that and, and need to be raising our voices against it. well it john, um we have heard this great fame, the almost fairy tell a story about a counter offensive it's we just have to wait a little bit longer. so we throw in the have sixteens here. i seriously doubt they

have 16. so i've arrived there because of the, for the very reason that larry just mentioned, they'll just be shot down. i mean, the united states has been fighting hurts been for the, for the quarter century. they have it in stock, and it with a peer power and using conventional bucks, never having foss anatomy, but it has an air force, i think, in what, over 50 years. john? well, that number of 50 is a, is a, uh, coincidentally quite accurate number because the f 16 is a 45 year old fighter. it was developed in 1978. it's now 45 years old. and so what we're talking about is sending in a fighter, which would be the equivalent of the british spit fire from 1945 into a battle in 1990. and the go for that's the difference between today's tech, the log, the technological advances and what was done in the past. so if you talk about the f 16, it's

a non stealth aircraft. easy to shoot down. it has 50 percent less thrust than the f $35.00, and it has less range and we're talking about a massive country here. ukraine. so i would suggest that what we're talking about here really is just an extension of the old war, is a racket that american generally the general smedley, butler described. this is a way for america to clear its inventory in depth, the ukrainian government and ukrainian people for the next generations and get rid of useless hardware and have russia, shoot it down for free. that's what's about to happen while talking about things. and you know, in, in reserve here, larry, i mean, you just, how many more troops can ukraine sacrifice for, for the nato is and bishan and visions, and it's only impatient as not to induct ukraine. obviously, it is to inflict a strategic defeats on brushes. so, i mean, i will, i've wandered,

pondered for months now, what future historians will say about the leadership of ukraine. i mean, they're the ones that are sacrificing their young wealth. the others flee the country. i just have to wonder the demographics of all this larry. all right, well the future historians will look back and say that both with respect to the crane and to the west. they were in the say of that are they were status of the reality is ukraine does not have the manpower to send in to about. so what do i mean by that? it's one thing when you recruit somebody and put a uniform on them, that does not make them assault or capable of operating and large unit maneuvers as an example. and that requires a months of training. well, ukraine doesn't have those people that it can grab and then put into those training situations that allow that training to on full. and they have the leisure of them.

so in these reserves, and they're still going to be green and unprepared. that's what i don't get with this. you know, the here with respect to the 16 discussion, it's gonna arrive later in the year. like december. i don't think ukraine's military will be attacked by the end of the year. i do not see how they can button as you months, months to domestic train, months. basic training. we're talking about advanced weapons here. no way. yeah. what i mean basically your basic training is what, like 3 months basically per just, just to get started. and that's why that's why and how to put on your uniform march information and understand the difference between right and let. well, let larry also here. yeah, i mean i, i hope i get my number right here, but up to 600 different systems in the military systems are being built. i mean, it's holly and stuff, portuguese stuff, a little bit of power stuff. but i don't know if anybody in the baltic states have anything more than a pistol, but you know, i mean,

none of these things can talk to each other a actually about calories. they use different caliber of shells. i mean, i guess, you know, we can talk to a lack of training which, you know, this has even been reported in western media, but you have this kind of, you know, rag tag amount of use stuff that nobody really wants anymore. larry. no, it's a great, it's a garage sale. i saw this 1st hand how it affects the operators as well as the c. i a and we were providing supplies to the contractors, all of the fires who was running to settle american task force at the time. he bought 25 different aircraft. and every single aircraft had different maintenance requirements. instead of buying one kind of lane and servicing them with the same kind of parts, we created an incredible logistics problem and, and the nature of the united states. they're doing this on a, on a no clear scale. i mean, it's massive how, how incompetent it is. well, dan,

i mean, again, a is the biggest frustration for a lot of people watching. this is the whole issue of timing and i think you were on my program. when i asked though, who's got the clocks and who's got the time, and the way i read is not, not a military expert, even though everybody on cable thinks they are. i'm not okay. the, i'm serious, you know, a, the way i look at it is it, there, this, they have succeeds all this little trinkets. that's just for p r. okay? um, but the way i look at it is that the, the russians are waiting for the counter offensive. it will fizzle out and that's when they will take their charge every night that the history is proven that over and over again. i mean the battle of quarter skin is probably a good example, dan. well, yes, i mean, i think, militarily, russia has a probably, uh, you know, an advantage that cannot be, you know, the counter is this point any serious way. the goal of the united states at this point is to keep, keep the war going.
