sides and that is the horrible tragedy of all this. and the idea that somehow the u . s. cares about ukraine or the cranium. people i think is the live by that fact that they don't care how many ukrainians die in the separate nice ears appear that given that the 2024 election campaign is right around the corner, that that is only going to incentivize the by the administration to keep this war going even further because they do not want to rush and victory before the 2024 election or are or are let me. we got one minute before we go to the bank. john, i want to flip what we just heard from down here. they just don't want a ukrainian defeat. okay, now they're not even thinking about a russian victory. they just want to keep the craniums going into by part is saying, okay, remember, it's a very power by parts you come on. like i said, we're looking, they'll keep them on life support life support happens to be f sixteens and infinity amounts of money of indebtedness to the ukranian people. so no matter what

happens, the american military industrial structure and its bank stir, fine answers are going to extract their well, so back plus interest, money plus interest on interest. as a result, that's the main name. now the wars already lost, no doubt about it. yeah. but it's been a good investment for a lot of people and yeah, america having the and victoria knew and got the russians in the amount of the russians and the ukrainians to fight. that's a remarkable outcome. gentlemen, i'm, we're going to go to a short break, and after that short break, we'll continue our discussion on ukraine and escalates and stay with our team. the we are in st. petersburg, the capital of washing balance, preserving the plastic card and the touring model into the next. the city continues to define the global culture today, the a, the wrong one,

all just don't safe house become an engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves will support, we choose to look for common ground. the hungry has been a member of the european union and nato since 1999 during the 1st post. so good wave of nato's eastwood expansion. none of the sailors cuz of this. the main longest sense is deal i am, i felt that i see like that right now as a country, it's a e, so me that me it of so we get that actual zap i did do my i just bought the pre show is that am yeah. still more than the beach, but i see,

but i see us play up by choice, some of which he strongly in the early ninety's hungry was a country with the worst view of russia to day star of disagreements left over from the soviet union. the why it is what and you some of my new or somebody i don't want to see if you brought the last name, but in the compared to police report more than those. what i see is great. did you say it's a police degree, though as much for the welcome back. across stock were all things are considered on peter roosevelt to mind you were discussing ukraine an escalation, the okay, let's go back to larry in tampa. i'm sure you will agree with me and our viewers that victoria knew and tag keep her big mouth shut. okay. so you know,

she was that this for a to zoom. she was that this form recently. um yeah, it's a new kids running into i'm sure it's a good griffith for everybody involved. but she said within 4 to 5 months ago, um uh, working with you on your calendar offensive. yeah. um, i wonder how fast that light will go down the memory hole after all of this is done? no, because we do remember the famous telephone call with jeffery p at the us in bassett, or to ukraine. i right before the cool i and her very flower, lea language, which i cannot use on this program. but you know, this is the essence of it all here. this is, she also said i didn't write it down for our program, but you know, ukraine will become like the epicenter of global democracy and all this kind of, i'll be to, it says out a was gushing, but it was, it was a also galling but here's is woman very far away, very well said, well funded and she saying go into the meat grinder, we're right behind you. it's extraordinary larry, a book. but the,

the same picture is worth a 1000 words. a victoria new language and joy, heavy, her sure dictionary because that would be there with toxic and delusional. so she would at least have 2 definitions that would be associated with her. her image. i have never in my life seen a situation like we are seen with respect to ukraine, where they continue to announce the impending counter offensive. can i offer my readers? it's on our 21 dot com to do a thought experimentally said go back to the day and imagine what would have happened if the general eisenhower less than churchill. i put in roosevelt. we're announcing our offensive. we're coming up. okay. we're going to launch in june. we're coming to ask you what, what would have been the consequences? well, the, we all know what the consequences would have been. the, the allies would have been beaten and would have lost. the germans would not have been confused and they would have been prepared to destroy. so why did we say,

do we have such magical thinking now that, that here we are as a 80 years after that of that almost that we're, we're now thinking that we can announced in advance what's going to happen. so the with newton saying this kind of thing, it just, it's for the reinforcers her and confidence, and the insanity of this behind her. that's what, that's what bothers me because she has no regard for the loss of human life that is unfolding in ukraine. and this is decidedly on the ukrainian side, that is suffering the enormous amount of casualties. yeah, the thing you've got to be the other thing you've got to take into account here is the meaning of the words we and our offensive. victoria newman's own family comes from trade. yeah. so when she says our offensive and your offensive isn't the american government to the american people's offensive, or is it an infiltration of the us government? it by people who decided generations ago to take action against russia by moving to

america. moving up the ladder inside the regime, like madeline albright using the u. s. people, the us tax paper in the us taxpayer and the us government as a weapon of war for another nation. yeah. well, and also, john, you can, you can throw in the latest veneration of mr. vin. okay. which apparently is going to the bank on this as well. i mean, i did it by mike mike, next question has to do with grab. so i'm going to go to dan here. so, you know, i'm now and so, you know, i mean, i think she said, you know, even to the fact you know, when that, when there's the nato summit, i mean, we really pinpointing it for everybody. okay. but it's, i think it's for griffith. ok. it says signaling to big donors, that means like congress and the arm is producers. you know, you know, so that the accounts for the, the drug attack of the kremlin, that last 24 hours, the political assassinations. what they're doing is they're keeping a ukraine is all in the market or, you know, they were, they'll be the rest of the,

the ukrainian tags will be in moscow before you know it. but it all it does is the creed create this propaganda war. the keep it well funded and then we saw with the recent ridiculous, the dead crisis that oh, the defense department is always safe. dan. yeah. well, again, i think from the western point of view, this is largely a propaganda war, and they're pretty good at what size they're. yeah they're, they're probably the superior party here. yeah. and propaganda and, and frankly, the american people, sadly, are quite willing to believe the propaganda, even though they've been live you so many times about these types of projects, right in iraq and afghanistan. you know, we have the app in papers that show that early on, right. our leaders knew that this was an unwinnable war, and yet we kept going for 20 years and trillions of dollars, whatever the target,

it was those and hundreds of dollars that was the target of the ward. this is, this is the paradigm shift that nobody wants to make. these wars are intended to drive the profitability of the military industrial complex and they do not care whether they win them or not. because if they lose them today, they can initiate the same or again, and either way, it's a profit of $40.00 to $1.00 and that's what the minimum military expenditure profit is. 40 to one. you can't even get that at las vegas. that's what they're playing with. yeah, well, larry, okay, but since it has been mentioned here, i mean, who's ever been punished in the last half century for a bit? being a uh, for a strategic blunders. has anyone ever been held to account? i mean john's got a really good point win lose or draw. it's still a good money making endeavor. larry, it's the best. well, he may have endeavored it. uh and hang on. go ahead. let me go ahead. go ahead.

learned. yeah. yeah. it has been such that there hasn't been no accountability. there, however, is it's with what's coming out of this war. yes, the, the western military industrial complex is wrapping it out. and we're seeing all sorts all the wounds of life and all the wonder weapons that are following the high mars the page. are you the same? you know, the 45 year old, the old man and the group, and yet what's been exposed is a russia is the feeding these technologies. in fact, the, in a country. now that would buy a patriot for air defense would be crazy. yeah. because the rushes debit demonstrated that systems the s 400. the es 350. now coming out the s 500 are far superior than anything that the western industrial. okay. okay. and larry elizabeth and to and what was the cheaper what? what is the country that figured that out for saudi arabia, they figured it out, right? yeah. and the, and a lot of people have been taking notice, okay. i, you know, i called in to very expensive trinkets. okay. that's what they are. okay. and it,

if you look at it, i want to bore our viewers. so your, or my guess. but as it was explained to me by a russian military expert, is that the russians, they but it goes back to the so be there, they have a system that works and they just make it better and better and better. it's not these things that can fly upside down and inside out and you know, might work, might not work. you might find a reason for it, but we're going to build it any way. okay. that's what they do in the west. okay? here it's very different and it's very, very practical dan, let me go to you in pittsburgh. the, the, the biggest problem you know, because you were talking about how be a western people have less that are, is, are you explain this more? and the problem for me, it's very discursive the, it's the narrative. what with the west wants is they want rushes, destruction, and what russia's been saying all along, as we need to find a viable piece for europe. now i know one is more sexy than the other, but the 2nd one is to everyone's benefit in this administration and nato world will

not listen to that because russia must be vanquished. but if it's not, hopefully nato will be. dan, well, certainly nay, that nato, you know, shouldn't have ever existed in that. certainly. but at any purpose that, that purpose, you know, went away a long time ago with the collapse of the soviet union in east block. but in any case, i'm, yes, i think data will go way, but the problem is the, the us and it's military aggression probably won't go away that easily. you know, i, i look, you know, wistfully at the days when we had a president by john f kennedy who was willing to deal with crew chavo or something like the cuban missile crisis and many of called what's happening now. new crane the reverse cuban missile price. it's right. that it's, it's now this russia being threatened, you know, by war and by, by miss 1000 troops on its borders. as the us saw being threatened by missiles in

cuba, skilled kennedy was willing to make concessions to rach is that down? i do not see a white house that is willing to do that. then that is really the tragedy here. yeah, and john on top of it and that is, you know, uh, the white house is vacant in many different ways. um, but yeah, that's one of the things that's different this time around is that in the european the weights have been completely cowed. i mean, you have the german chancellor, i call him sergeant schultz on this program, but it is repeatedly humiliated and he just takes it. it's extraordinary. that's a job that's. that's because the so called democratic elections across europe are remote controlled from washington. and any criticism of zalinski also is misplaced because he's nothing but a marion at. and if you trace the wires all the way back to source by is also a mary annette of the bag stairs. and of the military industrial complex fuse job

is just a rubber stamp the spending of tax payers money and its transfer into the hands of those who do not give a damn about america, about ukraine or about anything related to either. larry, it's my, i think you and i have the, i talked about this before. this conflict will come to an end of it. it will come to end on brushes terms and rushes terms only. um, they, you know, the minutes go process. the west showed itself to be duplicity is liars blowing up the, the north stream pipeline. i mean who, who in their right mind is going to talk to these people very. i got another, there is no fence. that's what worries me, peter, is that there is no off ramp here. there by you. the united states has built up such a hostile rhetoric and, and made it impossible civil for any negotiate to solve, but there is no basis of trust. so the only option is this is i think this is going

to escalate. the world is going to spread. it is going to involve nato and russia is going to end up destroying they go. i think that's all what, what is in the long term plan. and russia actually needs to do that in order to eliminate the missile threat. that's in romania and poland right now. and, you know, you've probably got something like it doesn't involve, but i frankly do not see it. but here you're absolutely right. because because from where i am, nobody wants to do this again in 5 years or 10 years or 20 or they have been there . we have to be a resolution that and that's what makes it scary, but that's the promise as well. gentleman, that's all the time we have a want to thank you. my guest in pittsburgh came by and, and valid. great. and of course i want to thank our viewers for watching us here at r t. c. you next time. remember prospect the, the,

the, by the middle of the 19th century, practically the whole of india had been under the rule of the british and by the colonial authorities that impose that heavy death, bringing the people into poverty exporting natural resources. and moreover, these authorities absolutely had no consideration for the physicians of the local population, treating them like 2nd class citizens. the british were showing signs of disrespect even to those who operated with them. the facts of ignoring the religious believes of the hindus led them. you may have received voice, mercenary soldiers, serving under the british crown. rebellion began on the 10th of may 1857 in the garrison town of may river, north of india, in the form of abuse. the rebels quickly took over daily that he rode the

resistance of the indian people lasted for one and a half years. however, the forces were not equal. the colonial authorities dealt with the rebels, cruel, late fee and slaves. the boys were tied to the mouth of the cannon and were shot right through their bodies for the amusement of the public. these type of execution was called the devil's with the obliteration of them you may result in the death of 800000 inhabitants of indians. however, the british empire never broke the free spirit of the indians and their will, will resist the

the russian states. never as tired as on one of the most sense community best most i'll send some of the same assistance and speed. what else calls question about this? even though a river band in the european union, the kremlin media mission, the state on russia to day and split the ortiz vote net, keeping our video agency roughly all the band on youtube tv services for the question, did you say steve or twist, which is the

good to should the yeah, for sure. because the it is a little nimble there showing that the answer of the thing is the most let's see if she has some kind of funny marketing. let's say that was a g e o you follow up with them or stop by to us by cvt

the, what do you think is the most important webpage in the world aside from water, while many automatically think coffee or alcohol, that would be incorrect. t is actually the most popular, most consumed and most important beverage in the world. so and for that full r wars, that's right. plural had been started over t. he had the 1st opium war breaking out between china and britain fighting over britain's demand for tea. and then you have the boston tea party, which led to the american revolution, fighting over britain and his taxation on teeth. i'm christy, i'm, you're watching the cost of everything we're today. we're going to be delving into

why this little tea leaves are so important and how much they truly matter in the world. the 5 countries account for 82 percent of global to exports. so when there are problems with the big 5 and higher industry is in term, well, china, india, kenya, screen log on vietnam are known as the big 5. and they are all struggling with the production since the corona virus pandemic, up in the world, in india, fewer t pickers combined with dry weather, has cut neils in the south and north india as well as the longer the keyboard of india calculated a loss of 60000000 heroes due to weather and a pipeline deficit of a 130000000 kilograms, with harvest down 14 percent compared to last year. this is a big problem as india,

residents strength over 856 kilograms of t a year. the ongoing african drought has also depressed deals in kenya, uganda and rolanda, to production, and kenya, which is the world's largest exporter of black tea, is also down 14 percent to a non was more effective than screen blanca whose t exports have dropped to a 25 year low when it was hit by fertilizer shortage, due to an ill advised agro chemical band screw, longer export a 250000000 kilograms of t in 2022, which is down 18 percent. the supply demand deficits were 1st reported in 2020, as coven 19 lowered production levels and disrupted out of home consumption. there was also a labor shortage that extended to the truck industry where a short as length and the amount of time it takes to transport the t to the t

auctions and then to the ports. to production is highly sensitive to changes in growing conditions, and t can only be produced in narrowly defined agro ecological conditions. hence, a very limited number of countries can produce it. however, changes in temperature and rainfall patterns with more floods and droughts are already effecting yield quality and prices. and while america is not a huge tea drinking nation, the effects of the t shortage was felt here too. as pepsi issued a statement announcing the temporary suspension of some of the pure v, i s p offerings in the u. k. t during a has become synonymous with the bridge identity for many. but this may not be here to stay forever with the latest data. british citizens are now drinking a 3rd as much to compare to the 1970s where a typical person 568 grams of tea a week. the biggest reason brits are drinking less is that they now drink more

coffee based on grams, purchase each week. fritz, now buy more coffee then tea ever since it overtook tea in 2015. so now let's bring in jenny, so slipping streams t company founder. and so jenny, has ti consumption been growing or declining among the younger generations worldwide? and what is the fastest growing beverage today? so t has been growing worldwide with the younger generations that actually has been growing a british research firm. global data said that the u. s. t market was at $2800000000.00 us dollars and this year is supposed to be in a row bus $3400000000.00. and this has actually been encouraged and growing up because of the younger generation looking for lower caffeine or caffeine alternatives, especially when you look at ice tea, ready to drink,

to tease functional teams and such. but the number one consume beverage in the world is water. and the 2nd most consumed beverage in the world is t and the bottled water industry is growing significantly. and that's the leader of beverages . and now who is the biggest competitor to to have so many burbridge choices these days, including coffee cultures, cells, so it's etc. so how has a tease market share been growing or shrinking? hello. so copy is still very popular. that would be a very large competitor to t. but again, the trend is showing that bottled water is growing by 7 percent. so that would be tease largest competitor, but the coffee is still very competitive, but t is still just barely ahead of coffee even though coffee might be growing. and

part of that can also be like you stated before, that there is a supply chain issue with t being affected by climate change too. and supply change. and now are there any new advances are break through and t called evasion and recent years? oh, yeah, that's very funny that you say that because we just started our own very um, our own t farms here in alaska. so we have a geothermal power tea farm. it's all sustainable. all the electricity is made from geothermal energy, all the heat. so we grow to year round, and um, and all the water, it's just natural water that's there from the hot springs. so it's all powered by geothermal energy, but some other innovations in agriculture to be watching this here would be automated, harvesters on different machinery that's used to harvest t faster because again, there's global labor shortages,

their supply chain issues. climate change has also affected the growth of t all over the world. and then other people are experimenting more with drones for being able to possibly harvest watched farms and fields fast more easily. and um, so those are some innovations that you'll see in cultivating the t plants coming out this year. do you think that the reliance on technology instead of the actual growers is changing the entire industry and making it much more of a commodity than what it currently is, which is more, which is for high end to use more of an each product. and so i think there's still going to be large markets for high end, especially boutique tees, are hand harvested, but for everyone else who's drinking tea in large amounts, especially with these tea beverages such as chromebooks show or ice tease or hard

seltzer cheese that are trending right now they're going to need innovation to keep up with demand in those other types of beverage that histories and t is considered a commodity in large countries such as india, china, africa. but there is a large population to fill that need. so i think there's a good partnership of innovation with technology, but they're still going to be a demand for those high end boutique to use that people are willing to spend the money for. and i believe that the industry is very similar to the wine industry, but for most winds, the majority of winds are like under $20.00. what about t? what is the average price point for t? is it even seen as a luxury good in many parts of the world? and i see she as a luxury good for those non t producing countries, like in the u. s, there are t growers and t farmers here,

but those teas will be very expensive because of the labor and it's not a nationally t producing country. but the price is a t will be much less expensive on average in countries such as india, china, africa. and because they're creating high volumes of tea. and it's also, you know, the mindset is considered as a commodity because everyone's everyday drinking beverage, right. but for those who wants to buy loosely tease higher quality, i would say the average price would be about $10.00 for $2.00 to $4.00 ounces. but then you have this huge jump for those luxury style p is because we add something streams easily sold to use that are $30.00. announce plus all our $500.00 us dollars a pound that we have several different p, some from africa,

some from india. some that we grow here in alaska that go easily for $30.00 and house. and that has to do with a huge push of the younger generation looking for those special beauties looking for artisan old. he's wanting to know the source, the story. and so what makes it, what makes it a luxury t like in your case? so our luxury cheese will be obviously hand crafted, not machine harvested, very rare. so as in rare is like it's hard to make or the seems anality is very short for that to, for that part of the t plants, it might be growing at a really high elevation. it might have other things that such as it needs to be set aside for a very small batch. and also that the, the demand is not that big. but those who do demand that to you, those who want.
